A classic text -- given the right audience,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Set Theory and Its Philosophy: A Critical Introduction (Paperback)
This is a superb book, but it has a very specific audience. It is a careful, systematic, investigation of the extent to which the methods of set theory can be used to address philosophical questions. So the audience needs to both be comfortable with the formal presentation of mathematical theories, and to know the issues in the philosophy of mathematics. If you lack the philosophical part, you'll wonder why Potter doesn't just use ZF, and why he keeps being drawn off into various topics along the way. If you lack the mathematical part, you'll find the book hard to understand, although it is extremely systematic. (If you don't know what ZF is, for example, I'd advise starting with some other book.)
Having said that, Potter goes out of his way to present matters clearly and explicitly. Readers who don't exactly fit the audience will learn an enormous amount from this book. Moreover, it is so clear and authoritative, and covers so much ground, that it deserves to be in the canon. It ought to displace Quine's Set Theory and its Logic, for example.
ZU is Potter's set theory (76). It is spare, and very powerful. I believe Potter is trying to capture as much as he can of Frege's original view of sets as logical objects, although he doesn't say this. ZU allows flocks of doves and packs of wolves to be sets, just as it intuitively ought to, but it can also capture the real and transfinite numbers. The book divides into four parts. First, there is the presentation of ZU and its properties. Then we get the usual development of the real numbers. The third section deals with ordinals and cardinals, and a fourth section the axiom of choice and the continuum hypothesis.
What sets the book apart, though, is its constant return to the history of its subject and the philosophical issues that have been embroiled in it up to the present. You can look through the book at any issue that interests you - Russell's paradox, non-standard analysis, whether there is some deeper notion of a collection underlying set-theory - and Potter always gives a clear explanation and has something interesting to say about it. With graduate students of sufficient ability, the book would make for a really worthwhile graduate level course in philosophy.
When I'd finished reading it, I wanted to read it again.

"Why does one inch piece of lead tape cut off prior to every
label that prints out? How can this tape waste be eliminated?
"There is approximately one inch of space between the print head and thecutter blade within the P-touch label printer. The three layers of material that make up all P-touch laminated labels must pass over this space in order to be sealed correctly and to feed correctly. Ordinarily a small piece of tape, 1 inch long, will first precede the printed labelto ensure that this happens. This extra feed material cannot be eliminated. However, the piece of extra tape can be added to the printedlabel instead of being cut off by changing the ?Margin? setting to one inch. There is no way to eliminate the excess tape feed.

Lexus plans to launch a fuel cell LS around 2018, Japan's Best Car magazine reported this summer. A rendering of the car depicts a basic LS silhouette with the Mirai's rear wheel side flares and gaping air intakes on either side of the grille.
Lexus plans global debut of new concept in TokyoPosted 12:30 am U.S. ET, Oct. 9
TOKYO -- Lexus is promising a new concept car at this month's Tokyo Motor Show but is holding back details until the unveiling.
The vehicle may preview a luxury hydrogen fuel cell car.
The powertrain choice would tap a push by parent company Toyota Motor Corp. to expand the use of fuel cells.
Indeed, the Toyota brand is unveiling a fuel cell concept car, the FCV Plus, at the show. That car envisions a possible successor to the Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, which went on sale last year in Japan and this year in the U.S.
Toyota makes no secret about wanting to deploy its fuel cell drivetrains beyond the four-seat Mirai s ...

Frankfurt show featured many beasts, few beautiesPosted 12:01 am U.S. ET, Oct. 9
Best of show: Mazda Koeru
The Frankfurt auto show may have slipped behind Shanghai when it comes to the amount of exhibition space offered, but it remains the unrivaled No. 1 in terms of vehicle debuts. There were 210 debuts at this year's Frankfurt show, based on one count. This column, however, is not about numbers, it is about the real winner of the show: overdesign.
And if overdesign won, that means the biggest loser at Frankfurt was Volkswagen Group styling supremo Walter De Silva, who for years loudly lobbied for simple design. He said he believed in cars created with as few lines as possible, such as the refrigerator-on-wheels VW Up minicar. That passion ...

GM flexes engineering prowess with 2016 Chevy Volt, Colorado dieselPosted 11:45 am U.S. ET, Oct. 6
General Motors CEO Mary Barra with the redesigned 2016 Chevrolet Volt at the 2015 Detroit auto show.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Last week, General Motors let auto writers drive two of the company's most important new products: the 2016 Chevrolet Volt and the diesel-powered 2016 Colorado pickup.
Neither of these vehicles is going to light up the U.S. sales charts for Chevrolet. Oil prices have stabilized between $44 and $47 per barrel, cutting average U.S. prices for regular gasoline prices to under $3 per gallon in most states. The demand for gasoline-electric hybrid cars isn't strong right now.
As for the Colorado, Chevy officials expect only about 10 percent of buyers to spend an additional $3,730 fo ...

VW's travails aside, diesel fans remain loyalPosted 11:45 am U.S. ET, Sept. 29
BMW's 328d diesel sedan at the New York Auto Show in March 2013.
Mike Thomas, a writer who lives in suburban Orlando, bought his first diesel-powered vehicle, a Ram EcoDiesel pickup, earlier this year. Now he's worried that Volkswagen's rigged diesel engines to skirt emissions tests will drag his truck into the mess.
That is a valid concern. All diesel-powered vehicles are today operating under a thick but likely temporary black cloud of suspicion caused by the deception at VW.
The EPA said it will now conduct on-road testing of all light-duty diesel engines in the U.S. to ensure they don't have VW-style defeat devices to switch off emissions systems. ...

Why Nissan will keep one eye on VW's diesel scandalPosted 4:08 pm U.S. ET, Sept. 25
Nissan's 2016 Titan XD is anchored by a 5-liter V-8 turbo diesel engine rated at 310 horsepower and 555 lb-ft of torque.
The news of Volkswagen's diesel emissions-cheating scheme was still coming into focus this week when Jose Munoz, chairman of Nissan North America, took to the podium for an upbeat press luncheon in Detroit to tell reporters about product enhancements to the 2016 Nissan Altima sedan.
One had nothing to do with the other. But Munoz is savvy enough to know that when news is bubbling the press likes to ask executives about their competitors. Munoz began with a witty defuser -- proclaiming with relief that he does not have a single diesel vehicle to talk about.
But guess what?

In wake of VW scandal, it's time to scrap self-certify eraPosted 12:00 pm U.S. ET, Sept. 22
The fuel economy and smog ratings are displayed on the sticker price of a 2015 Passat sedan at a Volkswagen dealership in Escondido, Calif. this week. (REUTERS)
It's time for the EPA to admit the system of allowing and trusting automakers to self-certify cars and light trucks for fuel economy and emissions standards no longer works.
The system, in place since the 1970s, works like this: Automakers test their own vehicles and submit the findings to the EPA, where engineers review and usually approve them. The EPA also randomly tests between 10 and 15 percent of new vehicles yearly for fuel economy and emissions at its Ann Arbor, Mich., lab.
But today, with 40 brands selling more than 300 nameplates in the U.S., there is no way the EPA can test them all. The ...

Why VW's betrayal with diesel engines is differentPosted 11:00 am U.S. ET, Sept. 21
For the second time in my life, it appears that the U.S. diesel passenger car market has been mortally wounded by a car company claiming to be its champion.
The first time, it was due to incompetence: GM foisted an underdeveloped diesel V-8 engine on customers, dealers and technicians who were ill prepared to maintain it.
This time, it's due to outright dishonesty on the part of Volkswagen, a leader in U.S. sales of passenger cars with diesel engines. There's nothing wr ...

Frankfurt: Lights, cameras, technology!Posted 12:01 am U.S. ET, Sept. 21
Jason Stein is publisher and editor of Automotive News.
By 8:30 a.m. last Tuesday, about the time BMW's new CEO Harald Krueger tumbled to the stage inside cavernous Hall 11, the Frankfurt auto show was veering toward an odd theme.
Amid all the predictions of European momentum -- as represented by 90-some new-vehicle introductions -- all anyone wanted to talk about was who wasn't here.
Krueger, having recovered from his dizzy spell, got a clean bill of health from his doctors and was sent to Munich.
Fiat Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne skipped the show altogether to pull off a new UAW labor contract in Detroit.

Energy Curtailment Specialists, Inc. Announces New, Cutting-Edge Customer Portal for its Demand Response Participants
Buffalo, NY, Jan 02, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Energy Curtailment Specialists, Inc., the nation's leading privately-held demand response provider, has spent the last few months investing major resources in developing a centralized, user-friendly online portal for the benefit of its customers. This portal offers a modern and simple approach for participants in ECS' PowerPay! demand response programs to cultivate their knowledge about the energy industry and everything demand response. The idea behind the launch of the ECS PowerPay! Customer Portal is to allow ECS customers to gain a better, more acute understanding of how the ECS PowerPay! demand response program actually works as well as how a customer's participation benefits the electric grid, themselves, and the community as a whole.
Demand Response, an initiative to stabilize the electric grid during the rare occasions when electric supply can no longer meet demand, is a preventative measure for blackouts and brownouts. Demand response providers, such as ECS, will call on their customers during these times of high stress on the grid to reduce their electricity usage. ECS PowerPay! customers earn substantial revenue for their cooperation to reduce their electric demand and play an important role in the energy industry.
"We developed this online portal, keeping our customers as the primary focus. We believe that a better informed customer is a better overall customer. The portal allows for improved communication as well as an exchange of pertinent knowledge about our demand response programs, revolutionizing how we strategize our customer relations. We are very excited about its launch," said Jim Korzykowski, President and CEO of Energy Curtailment Specialists, Inc.
The portal is a convenient and useful tool for ECS PowerPay! participants. Given a unique username and password, customers can access all of the information and tools that they would need in order to fully enhance their experience in the ECS PowerPay! demand response program. The portal takes customers through the many components of demand response in an intuitive and clearly articulated way. Customers can then maximize their performance during demand response events as well as secure significant $$$. The portal will offer a customized metering interface where customers will be able to track their usage, carbon footprint, and overall performance as well as open up new avenues for communication between ECS and its customers.
About Energy Curtailment Specialists, Inc. Energy Curtailment Specialists, Inc. (ECS) offers consultative, administrative, and turnkey demand response services. ECS is one of the largest demand response service providers in North America, with more than 10,000 customers participating in its programs nationwide. ECS is currently serving markets across North America including California, New York, Texas, New England, the PJM territory and Ontario, Canada. For more information please call 877-711-5453 or visit

text: HR Responds to Boston Bombing and Manhunt By Bill Leonard 4/19/2013 Permissions Christine Lahey wasn't sure at first what the cryptic text she received on her cell phone around 3 p.m. on April 15, 2013, meant. The message read: "I'm safe. Turn on the news." The text came from a co-worker who was watching the end of the Boston Marathon near the offices of Liberty Mutual Insurance, where Lahey is vice president of employee relations and human resource services. "I was at home and received this text within 10 minutes of the blast," Lahey recalled. "I didn't know up until that point that there had been an attack." Both explosions that tore through the crowd gathered near the marathon's finish line were just a few blocks from Liberty Mutual's headquarters. As Lahey learned more about the extent of the bomb attacks, she began to focus on the safety of the nearly 4,000 employees who worked downtown and their family members. Several Liberty Mutual employees were running the marathon, while others were volunteering along the race route, and Lahey had no idea how many could have been spectators near the finish line, where the bombs exploded. According to Lahey, corporate training and preparation for emergency situations paid off as the business-continuity plan kicked in. "It actually ran fairly smoothly," she said. "Everyone knew what they had to do, and the emergency response plan worked just like it was supposed to." Members of the management and HR teams began communicating with each other, and Lahey learned that one employee was injured in the blasts and taken to the hospital. "But the injury wasn't severe, and that person was treated and released pretty quickly," she said. Liberty Mutual's offices were closed for the day, which may have been a stroke of good luck for the company. Lahey said she hates to think about what might have happened if dozens of Liberty Mutual employees had left the office to check out the finish line. The company normally closes its headquarters the day of the marathon because the building is adjacent to the finish line and the street is blocked off to set up aid and medical tents for the race. "So our offices were really right next to the explosion sites, and we knew that could mean serious disruptions on Tuesday [the day after the bombing] and that we might even have to keep the office closed," she said. Liberty Mutual's management team had several conference calls the evening of April 15 and early the next morning to assess the situation and make updates to their business operation plans. After hearing from the Boston police and learning that the company's main office tower would be outside the 15-block area cordoned off as the crime scene, they decided to open the offices. "Both the mayor and our governor were really encouraging companies to open for business and get the city working again," Lahey noted, "so we opened the offices up." One annex office remained closed, however, affecting about 300 employees. The day after the bomb blasts, a similar scenario played out for businesses in downtown Boston as HR teams grappled with the decision of trying to operate on a normal schedule. "I wouldn't call it business as normal at all," said Nancy Stager, executive vice president of human resources and charitable giving at Eastern Bank Corp. "We are all in shock, and it's pretty far from normal here. But most of our offices and bank branches were open for business the day after the bombings." Like Lahey, Stager says her company's emergency response plan worked well. Two of the bank's branch offices remained closed the day after the bombing because they are located in or near the crime scene. According to Stager, the bank's management team was able to quickly assess that its employees and their families were safe. Once they knew what offices would have to close, the bank's HR officials were able to shift personnel to different branches or office locations. "A lot of people were thankful for the chance to go to work," Stager said. "In a situation like that you feel helpless and want to do something, so going to work offers one way to feel like you're in control of your life again." Boston-area businesses were again put to the test on April 19, when most of the metro area was placed on lockdown as police conducted a massive manhunt for a bombing suspect who escaped on foot after an early-morning shootout. Calls to area businesses on the morning of April 19 revealed that many people had heeded Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick's pleas to stay home. The area's rapid transit shut down completely, as did most area taxicab companies. "Yes, a lot of people are impacted by this manhunt," said Tracy Burns, executive director of the New England HR Association. "HR professionals are right now trying to figure out how to communicate with people and keep them away from the city. It's kind of a moment-by-moment decision."

No war is ever won by air bombardment. Conventional wisdom dictates that is U.S. President Barack Obama does attack Syria for its use of chemical weapons, it would take "over 75,000 troops" to secure Syria's chemical weapons.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
9/5/2013 (2 years ago)
Published in U.S.
Keywords: Syria, chemical weapons, troop involvement, President Obama
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Those are the findings of the Congressional Research Service, or CRS, in a report released last month.
The draft text of the resolution, which would authorize Obama to use force in Syria, is being taken up by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The resolution prohibits the president from putting ground troops in Syria "for the purpose of combat operations." However, it appears to leave open the possibility that the president could put troops in Syria to secure chemical weapons.
"The authority granted in section 2 does not authorize the use of the United States Armed Forces on the ground in Syria for the purpose of combat operations," the text of the draft resolution says.
Section 2 of the resolution gives the president the authority to use the Armed Forces in Syria "as he determines necessary and appropriate" for a limited set of purposes. These measures include "to protect our allies and partners against the use of" weapons of mass destruction."
The Pentagon had estimated it would take "over 75,000 troops" to secure Syria's chemical weapons the day before an August 21 chemical weapons attack in the suburbs of Damascus. According to an assessment released by the U.S. government, that attack killed 1,429 people. President Obama announced his intention ten days later to use military force to penalize the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad for perpetrating the attack.
"U.S. officials have expressed confidence that chemical weapons stocks in Syria are secured by the Assad regime, which dispatched elite Special Forces for that purpose," the CRS report entitled "Syria's Chemical Weapons: Issues for Congress."
The report also claims that the U.S. government has been making contingency plans to make sure the Assad regime's chemical weapons did not fall into the hands of terrorists "in the event of the regime's loss of control."
"Due to the urgency of preventing access to these weapons by unauthorized groups, including terrorists, the United States government has been preparing for scenarios to secure the weapons in the event of the Assad regime's loss of control," the CRS report said.
"However, this presents unique challenges," the report continues. "In testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee on March 7, 2012, then-Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said, 'It's 100 times worse than what we dealt with in Libya. And for that reason, that's why it's raised even greater concerns about our ability to address how we can secure those sites.' The Pentagon has estimated that it would take over 75,000 troops to neutralize the chemical weapons."

Oklahoma! A Paramount Theatrical Production
This is the show that set the standard for all future musicals by incorporating music, lyrics and dance into a well-crafted serious story. It's also the debut collaboration of one of the most prolific writing teams in American theater history – Rodgers and Hammerstein. Set in the turn of the century Oklahoma Territory, tensions are mounting between the local farmers and cowboys over the use of land. In the midst of it all, is the rugged cowboy Curly, who's fallen for the strong-headed farm girl, Laurey. Despite their fiery spirits and at times tumultuous relationship, the two are destined to start a new life together in the soon-to-be state called Oklahoma! Nominated for 7 Tony Awards and winner of a Pulitzer Prize, this is the show that sets the standard for the 2015-16 Paramount Broadway Season. It's filled with some of the most recognized songs in theatre including "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'," "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top," "People Will Say We're in Love," and of course, the resounding "Ok-la-hom-a," – all performed by the Paramount's full-orchestra. Bring the entire family and experience Paramount's Oklahoma! This will be the production everyone is talking about this fall. Music by Richard Rodgers Book & Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II Based on "Green Grow the Lilacs" by Lynn Riggs Original dances by Agnew De Mille Directed by Paramount Artistic Director Jim Corti.

After exploring the worlds of toys and bugs in the two Toy Story films and A Bug's Life, the award-winning computer animation company Pixar delves into the realm of monsters with its fourth feature. Hulking, blue-furred behemoth James P. "Sully" Sullivan (John Goodman) and his one-eyed assistant Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) are employed by Monsters, Inc., a scream processing factory. It seems that the denizens of their realm thrive on the screams of kids spooked by monsters lurking under their beds and in their closets. It's the job of Sully, Mike, and their co-workers, including sarcastic Randall Boggs (Steve Buscemi), crab-like CEO Henry J. Waternoose (James Coburn), and lovely snake-headed receptionist Celia (Jennifer Tilly) to keep the frights flowing. When Sully and Mike are followed back into the monster world by a very unafraid little human girl named Boo (Mary Gibbs), they are exiled to her universe, where they discover that such a modern-day mythological specimen as the Abominable Snowman is a fellow refugee.

Please add Maven Support and a Maven Repository.
Roland Grunberg
swt-chart can be built with Maven + Tycho as an OSGI bundle by simply running 'mvn org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-pomgenerator-plugin:generate-poms -DgroupId=org.swtchart' to generate the poms, and then performing a regular maven build.
It would be nice if pom files could be checked in so that users no longer need to perform initial steps.
