(Getty Images)The match had everything. A hero, a villain, fireworks, an injury, and a near-concussion. In the end it was Victoria Azarenka successfully defending her Australian Open title by beating crowd-favorite Li Na 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 to capture her second Slam title. The win means Azarenka will retain her No. 1 ranking when the new WTA rankings come out on Monday.It wasn't a great match in terms of the tennis but it certainly did not lack in drama. After Li took the first set she rolled her left ankle in the second set but soldiered on. Azarenka forced a third set which was interrupted for 10 minutes for a fireworks display in honor of Australia Day. On the first point back Li tripped over her ankle again and hit her head hard against the court, again requiring medical attention. Through it all Azarenka kept her cool, a difficult task in light of amount of anti-Vika sentiment that swelled over the last 48 hours.I think I can safely say this: I have never and will never see another Slam final as out of this world crazy as this one.Game-by-game analysis of this dramatic rollercoaster of a match after the jump.Third Set6:21 a.m. ET | Trophy presentationAs Azarenka climbs up to sign some autographs, Li sits at her chair staring straight ahead with tears in her eyes. She had such a great tournament, beating two Top 5 players and coming a set from capturing her second Slam. But an ankle roll and another fall that led to an ugly headbang onto the concrete, and what can you do. She won a lot of fans over this fortnight, as if most tennis fans didn't love her already."Well ladies and gentlemen, I don't think we could script that any better," says the announcer. Um...I don't think you understand tennis, sir. Typically we like our players to play unencumbered by injuries and 10 minute interruptions for fireworks."She's battered and she's bruised and quite possibly...buggered." That would be the introduction for your runner-up, Li Na, who gets a huge ovation from the crowd.http://twitter.com/dougrobson/statuses/295133603241803776"Two weeks ago I have to say I hate my team," Li says as the crowd laughs. They love her here. "They push me a lot. But I think it's not bad so I should shut up. So thanks to Carlos and Dennis.""I know I'm not young, but I have to say, already looking forward to next year," she says.Your 2013 Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka is next. Pretty standard victory speech from her. Thanks her support team, which includes "The Party Rock Crew", and the fans and sponsors. She ends with a simple "Happy Australia Day everybody." No rousing ovation but respectful applause.6:21 a.m. ET | Game, set, match: 4-6, 6-4, 6-3.http://twitter.com/jon_wertheim/statuses/295128513940447232Li with some big hitting off the ground gets to 0-30 and has a good look at a second serve return but nets the backhand. She hangs in the rally at 30-30 and pushes the entire rally and then sends a high looping moonball that Azarenka nets. Smart change there to earn a break point. But yet another unforced error brings it back to deuce.Azarenka fends off Li and holds to 5-3. So many break point chances, so many she just let slip. She's now 7 for 18 in the match. Brutal.Li will serve to stay in the match.http://twitter.com/BryanAGraham/statuses/295133268519559168Li starts out strong and gets a game point at 40-30, but leans into a backhand crosscourt and nets it. She sends another backhand wide on the next point and Azarenka has match point. Li sends in a second serve and eventually sends a ball long. GSM, Azarenka.Azarenka drops her racquet in celebration and after shaking hands with Li she collapses in her chair sobbing. Tremendous amount of psychological stress she had to endure there.http://twitter.com/BryanAGraham/statuses/295130772640260096http://twitter.com/BenRothenberg/statuses/2951305918196039686:12 a.m. ET | Azarenka leads 4-3.Love hold to Azarenka and it is dead silent in Rod Laver Arena. Pam Shriver and Chris Evert are commentating this match as though one of these players didn't just thwack their head on the concrete. Li's forehand is indeed breaking down on her and Azarenka is pounding it as she should. Credit to the No.1. She's had to deal with a lot of psychological stress today and she's handled it well.Not that the crowd cares. If Li can hold here they might get rowdy when she tries to break in the next game. Sure enough she does. Big game coming up on Azarenka's serve. Li appears to be receiving a concussion test after her third-set tumble. (William West/AFP/Getty Images)6:05 a.m. ET | Azarenka leads 3-2.LI NA GOES DOWN AGAIN on the first point after the fireworks break. She rolls that left ankle again and slams her head on the court as she falls backwards. She's smiling but that looked like a wicked head bump.Doctors and trainer look to be working Li through some head injury tests. Azarenka is hitting balls to stay warm.http://twitter.com/jon_wertheim/statuses/295122713176051712Li retakes the court with a big smile that seems to say "Can you believe this?" And the crowd roars. I have never seen a crazier Slam final than this.https://twitter.com/TomPerrotta/statuses/295123318829379585http://twitter.com/GraveyardFilip/statuses/295124896386777089Play resumes with Azarenka serving down 1-2 and she earns herself a break point but sails a forehand long. Azarenka holds.http://twitter.com/LDavenport76/statuses/295124519314665472This isn't about the tennis anymore. It's pretty dire. They've hit 76 unforced errors between them. Now it's just about seeing if Li can still hang with Azarenka to give herself a chance.Not quite yet. Azarenka breaks Li for the eighth time this match and she's got the break lead.5:40 a.m. ET | Li leads 2-1.Li is just hitting too many errors now and she looks understandably flat emotional, getting broken to start the set. She's been the better player throughout the tournament and in this match despite the injury. It just goes to show how much luck is involved in winning these Slams. That's not a knock against the winners that's a complement. Serena has won 15 of these. Think about how easily any of those Slam runs could have gone awry.Azarenka should be running away with this but Li's hanging in there and Azarenka still making some silly errors. She doublefaults on break point to give back the break. I wonder if that break has given Li some belief. If she can just start connecting with her big shot she can still win this set.And as I type that she holds.Here come the fireworks. We'll have a 10 minute break in play as things explode in the sky. Will that tighten up Li's ankle?http://twitter.com/NeilHarmanTimes/statuses/295119134730104832http://twitter.com/Bonnie_D_Ford/statuses/295119111900495872http://twitter.com/christophclarey/statuses/295115787532922881Second Set Redfoo, a close (close) friend of Victoria Azarenka, wears a shirt that reads "GET YOUR GRUNT ON" (Mark Kolbe/Getty Images)5:28 a.m. ET | Azarenka wins the set 6-4.Chris Evert says she's completely stumped as to who's going to win this match. I think that's how we all feel right now.Azarenka holds at love to take the set 6-4 and that's the first set lost by Li in the tournament. With Li struggling with that ankle injury you have to give the nod to Azarenka in this third set. So long as she plays a contained set, reducing her errors and patiently working Li around the court, she should pocket this set.One wrinkle: There are fireworks coming. I don't mean metaphorically. There really are fireworks coming and play will be paused for 10 minutes at some point in the third set.5:24 a.m. ET | Azarenka leads 5-4.Li is starting to move better now. She can definitely move to her right without a problem, it's the ability to plant on the left foot that's causing her to hesitate. She gets to 15-30 on Azarenka's service game and Vika tries to get cute by hitting a drop shot. It lands softly in the net to give Li two break points to level the set. Azarenka sends a backhand long and Li has broken.http://twitter.com/jon_wertheim/statuses/295114027179327488She's two games from the title. All I can think right now is Kerri Strug. But the TV flashes up a shot of Redfoo. Different.Li still struggling to hold her serve though. It should be noted that the left foot is her landing foot. She's broken and Azarenka will serve for the set. Li appeared to roll her left ankle in the second set, leading to an injury timeout. (Greg Wood/AFP/Getty Images)5:10 a.m. ET | Azarenka leads 4-3.How's this for a twist: Azarenka hasn't won a point since Li's ankle injury. She's down 0-40 on her own serve but is able to save all three. Li had her third break point all lined up but she snatched at a backhand cross court and netted it.Azarenka holds.This are tough for Li now. She's doublefaulted twice in her service game and Azarenka has wisely keyed in to hitting behind her to exploit her inability to change directions. But she's hanging in there. Li saves two break points to get to deuce.SHOT. Azarenka comes into the net and Li sticks a backhand down the line right past her. She escapes with the hold.5:04 a.m. ET | Azarenka leads 3-2.INJURY SCARE: After getting a break back Li goes down and seems to have rolled her left ankle and goes to the ground. She gets up and is hopping around. Difficult to put weight on it. The trainer is out and she's walking to the chair under her own power. This doesn't look good at all.Li is getting her left ankle taped but she's clearly in some pain. While she's getting worked on Azarenka has stood up to take some practice serves to stay warm. The irony of all this is pretty difficult to ignore.Li serving at 30-30 and she's testing her movement. She hits a backhand winner to earn game point and another backhand winner gets her the hold.http://twitter.com/scambers73/statuses/295108386297634817http://twitter.com/christophclarey/statuses/2951083012161617934:48 a.m. ET | Azarenka leads 3-0.That first set was sub-standard overall but it definitely picked up as the set went on and they played some great points in that last game. Let's hope the quality continues to improve. The pressure is going to ratchet up for Li. She's a set away from becoming the oldest woman to win the Australian Open. She'd also become Serena Williams' new BFF. If Li can close this match out Serena will be No. 1 on Monday.http://twitter.com/BryanAGraham/statuses/295104624938061824Li serves first and despite having a game point she ends up getting broken.So far the stats don't tell us anything we don't know. Li is the aggressor, hitting 14 winners to 24 unforced errors, while Azarenka has hit only 5 winners to 15 unforced errors. The most glaring stat is points won on second serve. Azarenka is getting crushed here, winning a mere 22 percent to Li's 56 percent. She's serving at a high percentage on her first serve (79 percent) but she's only winning 45 percent of those points. All in all, Azarenka's service games have been struggles.She has to save a break point but Azarenka battles to a hold and then she breaks Li again. She's in this now. You have to worry about Li if she can't close this out in two sets. She won the first set in the final against Clijsters two years ago only to lose in three sets.Meanwhile, Britain's Heather Watson weighs in with some fashion critique.http://twitter.com/HeatherWatson92/statuses/295104171722547201First Set Li clearly has the crowd behind her, but both players had shaky starts. (Peter Parks/AFP/Getty Images)4:30 a.m. ET | Li wins the first set 6-4.Li earns a set point by ripping another winner after Azarenka's weak second serve but another error puts them back at deuce.SHOT! What a get from Azarenka. Li lunges at a midcourt approach shot, puts too much air under it but comes into the net anyway. Azarenka gets there and lunges to hit an incredible sharp crosscourt forehand winner. Li saves game point with that forehand again and earns set point No. 2.This is great tennis now and the crowd knows it. They're cheering for all the winners now from either player, though they're still louder for Li.Tremendous rally! Point of the match as both women pound the ball and move corner to corner for more than 20 shots before Li finishes it with a backhand winner.Finally on her fourth set points, Li converts. How fitting. The set ends as it began: with a doublefault.4:21 a.m. ET | Li leads 5-4.Good hold for Azarenka to force Li to serve out the set.Two errors from Li and she's down 0-30. Azarenka is doing a better job absorbing the pace and while she's not getting much on the replies she's getting them deep. Another backhand error from Li and Azarenka has three break points. Sure enough she breaks.She'll serve to stay in the set. Good luck with that. With the way things have been going for the servers (six breaks in nine games) this could be an adventure. Li eyes her second Grand Slam title. Would that be enough to make the Hall of Fame? (Michael Dodge/Getty Images)4:14 a.m. ET | Li leads 5-2.Obligatory shot of Redfoo. Fine. Let's just get that over with early.http://twitter.com/BryanAGraham/statuses/295094915711504385Servers having a tough time holding. Azarenka's quickly down 0-40 as Li fires a backhand return down the line for a winner and she breaks two points later with another backhand, this time teeing it up perfectly down the line for a clean winner. Beautiful shot.Li consolidates the break, which is quite the feat considering there have been five breaks in seven games. But as expected, she's gladly accepted the rolre of shotmaker, hitting eight winners to Azarenka's two.4:05 a.m. ET | Li leads 3-2.Li is beginning to loosen up a bit and her movement is much better after the changeover. She breaks Azarenka with some good hitting and the forehand that helped her dismantle Sharapova is looking good so far.http://twitter.com/jon_wertheim/statuses/295093587060854785Azarenka on the other hand just looks three steps slow. There's no explosion in her footwork and Li is successfully wrong-footing her. But to her credit she's trying to fire herself up. She plays two good back-to-back points and she's starting to fist-pump and exhort herself with some come ons.On game point Li misfires badly on a drive volley forehand. Like...10 feet out. She's keeping her calm so far but Azarenka is starting to up her intensity. She's starting to get mind and heart into this match and she breaks back to get back on serve.The old Li would be beating herself up on that drive volley miss. She should be up 4-1. Victoria Azarenka, wearing leggings on a chilly night, received some negative crowd reaction coming out to Rod Laver Arena. (William West/AFP/Getty Images)3:55 a.m. ET | Li leads 2-1.Horrible start so far, which is somewhat understandable given the cloud hanging over this match. Few matches have been decided by winners and I'm not sure any rally has lasted longer than five strokes.Li opens with a doublefault but hits a forehand down the line winner on the next point and the crowd goes nuts. I can already tell Azarenka's typical wail is a bit muted. We can argue whether she caused this or not, but these are some rough conditions to play under as you go for a Slam title.Very tight first game from Li, who misfires throughout to hand over the early break. This is the opening Azarenka needs. If she can just hold the lead she'll keep this crowd out of it and allow herself to relax a bit.In Azarenka's first service game she falls into a quick 0-30 hole. Already we've heard some heckling from the crowd and fans imitating her wail between points. Just like that, Li gets the break right back and holds in a deuce game.Through three games Azarenka has no winners and five unforced errors. Li has three winners to six unforced errors.In more pleasant news, here's Darren Cahill in a kilt.https://twitter.com/CMCKENDRY_ESPN/status/295091158059737088/photo/13:45 a.m. ET | Warm-upLi Na is all smiles as she walks out onto Rod Laver Arena to rousing applause. Victoria Azarenka, in her standard hoodie and earphones, follows her out and there's a noticeable drop-off in the cheers. It's polite. No boos, maybe a few whistles. Could have been worse, honestly. The Melbourne papers have been absolutely brutal today, with front page headlines continuing to call out Azarenka's perceived gamesmanship in her semifinal win over Sloane Stephens.The DJ has chosen David Guetta's "Titanium" as their walk-out music. "I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose. Fire away, fire away." Foreshadowing?http://twitter.com/jon_wertheim/statuses/295076268599308288It's a cool night and Alison Lang is in the chair for this one. She reminds the players that play will be interrupted at around 9:00 p.m. local time for fireworks. Confused? It's Australia Day today. They like fireworks. Azarenka is looking to retain her title and her No. 1 ranking. (Peter Parks/AFP/Getty Images)Azarenka wins the toss and elects to receive.Thoughts on this tweet from the London Times' Neil Harman? On one hand everyone knows about the controversy. On the other, why encourage people? It's just awkward.http://twitter.com/NeilHarmanTimes/statuses/295086452155490305Pre-matchVictoria Azarenka and Li Na will meet in the Australian Open final on Saturday. The match is scheduled to begin at 3:30 a.m. ET (ESPN). Azarenka, the No. 1 seed in and defending champion, defeated Sloane Stephens amid controversy to earn her place in the final. She needs to win this match to retain the No. 1 ranking. If Azarenka loses, she would fall to No. 2 and Serena Williams would ascend to No. 1. Li, the No. 6 seed and 2011 finalist, has yet to drop a set in the tournament despite playing four consecutive seeds, including No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska in the quarterfinals (7-5, 6-3) and Maria Sharapova (6-2, 6-2) in the semifinals. The 30-year-old will move up one spot to No. 5 in next week's WTA rankings regardless of Saturday's outcome. Azarenka leads the head-to-head 5-4 and has won the last four meetings, including all three last year. But Li is 2-0 against Azarenka in majors, winning in the quarterfinals of the 2011 French Open and the fourth round of the 2011 Australian Open. Azarenka is 20-0 in January matches since losing to Li in Melbourne two years ago. More Beyond the Baseline

Researchers have not yet come up with a coherent scientific explanation, let alone a cause, for irritable bowel syndrome and its debilitating symptoms. This means that there is no cure or even a comprehensive treatment. There are ways to manage symptoms, though.
Women are diagnosed with IBS more often than men. The main symptoms are abdominal pain, usually associated with bloating and gas, and a change in bowel movements—diarrhea,
constipation, or alternating bouts of each. Mucus may be present with diarrhea, but there is no blood or pus.
Because tests show no abnormalities, IBS is usually diagnosed after other diseases have been ruled out.
IBS may be suspected when a person has recurrent abdominal pain with at least two of the following features:
Since IBS primarily affects the GI tract, dietary changes are a good place to start. Many people benefit from avoiding certain foods and ingredients, such as:
For those who find a connection between their symptoms and what they eat, avoiding those foods can be helpful.
Depending on your age and gender, general guidelines recommend aiming for 25-38 grams of fiber in your daily diet.
Fiber may improve the colon's function and reduce symptoms, especially in people who tend to be constipated. However, if your IBS symptoms are mainly gas and bloating, fiber may cause you to have more abdominal discomfort. Your doctor can help you select good sources of fiber based on your symptoms. Examples include:
If you want to increase the amount of fiber in your diet, add small amounts at a time. Adding too much fiber too quickly can lead to a flare-up of IBS symptoms.
Of the many herbs and supplements that have been recommended for IBS,
oil is one of the few backed by some scientific evidence. The recommended dose is 0.2 milliliter (ml) capsules three times daily after meals. Be sure to take the enteric-coated form, so that the capsule will not be broken down in the stomach before it reaches the intestines. Talk to your doctor before taking any herbs and supplements. They could affect medicines that you are taking or conditions that you have.
Stress management may be able to ease IBS symptoms. Some treatments that may be used to decrease stress include:
Participating in a regular exercise program can help improve bowel function and other IBS symptoms. If you would like to start exercising, check with your doctor to make sure you are healthy enough.
Anther important part of treatment is becoming educated about IBS and ways to reduce the symptoms. Joining a support group may also be a good way to learn about the condition and to share your experiences with others.
In addition to lifestyle changes, there are a number of medications that may be helpful in treating the individual symptoms of IBS. In some cases, these medications may be used in combination. Examples include:
These medications, while often helpful, are no substitute for a comprehensive lifestyle approach. By modifying your diet, managing stress, and making other healthy changes, you can work to address your IBS symptoms.

Estimated 2010 earnings: $6 million
It's hard to avoid a Kim Kardashian sighting, and that's great for her. She pulled in an estimated $6 million this year for shilling everything from
cupcake mix to Skechers Shape-ups to Kotex. But much of the Kardashian commerce is a family business; with her sisters she co-owns a line of retail stores, a skincare line, and the K Dash for QVC line, as well as promotions for Quick Trim weight-loss supplements and her licensed line of Beach Bunny Swimwear. She can earn as much as $75,000 in appearance fees and has also snagged a few hundred thousand pretty pennies for her and her sisters' recently released book
Kardashian Konfidential, which sold 13,000 copies during its first week on sale, according to Nielsen BookScan. The show that launched half a dozen careers,
Keeping Up With the Kardashians, finished its fifth season this year.

Buying an unlocked iPhone makes it cheaper to find a iPhone 3/3GS than a 4 than a 4S than a 5. Please assume that I know and am aware of all the other benefits of newer hardware like cameras, running iOS 6 (in the case of the iPhone 3), more RAM/faster CPU so that cheaper hardware will likely be both older and slower. However, functionally with the network connectivity, is there a difference?
But for someone that will only call, text, use maps and very lightly use Safari, my thinking is that I shouldn't spend any extra money and get the oldest phone for a friend that is constrained to T-Mobile.
Does the T-Mobile network / infrastructure only work with 3G or am I incorrect in thinking that newer phones don't work any better with T-Mobile's 2012/2013 network frequencies?

How do I prove this cardinality equality:$\mathfrak c^\mathfrak c=2^\mathfrak c$
I have failed to prove this after lots of trail - but I am certain it's true
How can I prove this?
How do I prove this cardinality equality:$\mathfrak c^\mathfrak c=2^\mathfrak c$
I have failed to prove this after lots of trail - but I am certain it's true
How can I prove this?
$c^c = (2^{\aleph_0})^c = 2^{\aleph_0 \cdot c}=2^c$
Middle equality follows from this:
There is a bijection $f \colon (A^B)^C \to A^{B\times C}$.
Define $f \colon (A^B)^C \to A^{B\times C}$ by formula $f(g)(x,y) = g(x)(y)$. Here $g \in (A^B)^C$, $x \in B$, $y \in C$|. Define $f' \colon A^{B\times C} \to (A^B)^C$ by $f'(h)(x)(y) = h(x,y)$. It is easy to check that $f'$ and $f$ are inverses of each other, so they are bijections:
$f'(f(g))(x)(y) = f(g)(x,y) = g(x)(y)$ so $f'(f(g)) = g$
$f(f'(h))(x,y) = f'(h)(x)(y) = h(x,y)$ so $f'(f(h)) = h$.
This is known as "currying" in functional programming. It means that instead of a function taking a pair $(x,y)$ and giving result $z$, you can make a function that takes $x$ and returns a function that takes $y$ and gives result $z$.
(Assuming the axiom of choice) For every infinite cardinal $\kappa$ it holds: $\kappa^\kappa=2^\kappa$.
Proof: By Cantor's theorem $\kappa<2^\kappa$. Therefore $\kappa^\kappa\le (2^\kappa)^\kappa=2^{\kappa\cdot\kappa}=2^\kappa$. On the other hand, $2<\kappa$, so again $2^\kappa\le\kappa^\kappa$.
Combine these and you have $2^\kappa\le\kappa^\kappa\le 2^\kappa$, therefore equality.
Of course one would have to know two things first:
The former is quite simple, since we can assume without loss of generality that $\kappa\subseteq\lambda$ and therefore the identity function is from $\kappa^\mu$ into $\lambda^\mu$. The second point is also known as the Cantor-Bernstein theorem.
Here is a proof for the first fact:
Suppose $\kappa\le\lambda$, let $A$ be a set of size $\lambda$, we have that there is some $B\subseteq A$ such that $|B|=\kappa$ (this by the fact that from any set $B'$ of cardinality $\kappa$ there is an injective function into $A$, we can take the image of this function as $B$).
The set $A^\mu$ is exactly all the functions from $\mu$ into $A$. Since $f\in B^\mu$ means that $f\colon\mu\to B$, and therefore $f\colon\mu\to A$ so $f\in A^\mu$.
From this we have that $|B|^\mu\le|A|^\mu$, that is $\kappa^\mu\le\lambda^\mu$ as needed.
If you know that ${\mathfrak c}=2^{\aleph_0}$ and that $\aleph_0.{\mathfrak c}={\mathfrak c}$ then you get $${\mathfrak c}^{\mathfrak c}=(2^{\aleph_0})^{\mathfrak c}=2^{\aleph_0.{\mathfrak c}}=2^{\mathfrak c}.$$
So now we need to show $\aleph_0.{\mathfrak c}={\mathfrak c}$.
Clearly, ${\mathfrak c}\le \aleph_0.{\mathfrak c}$.
On the other hand; $\aleph_0.{\mathfrak c} \le {\mathfrak c}.{\mathfrak c} = 2^{\aleph_0}.2^{\aleph_0}=2^{\aleph_0+\aleph_0}=2^{\aleph_0}={\mathfrak c}$.
Since, we have both inequalities, the result follows from Cantor-Bernstein theorem.
In both proofs, we have used several well-known properties of cardinal exponentiation.

I am an undergrad in math and was wondering, what are for you the most important functions every mathematician should know? At the moment I think
sin(x), cos(x), tan(x) ect. are extremely important for me.
PS.: I am sorry if my question is against the usual format here on math.stackexchange. However, I am really curious about your opinion on this topic. That`s the reason why I am asking.

Here's a question I came up randomly just now:
If a sequence of absolutely continuous functions $\{\phi_{n}\}$ converges uniformly to a function $f$, does it imply that $f$ is also absolutely continuous?
I am having trouble judging if this is true. If the statement is not true, can anybody help me find a counter-example?
Thank you!

I've always used "inherent" and "intrinsic" interchangeably. Dictionary.com doesn't offer much help in distinguishing them.
Sign up

I do not know about English usage, but coming from Latin there are some differences:
When trying to distinguish between nearly synonymic words, dictionaries - because they try to encompass all usages of the term - yield poor discriminability.
It is better to look at how the terms appear in actual use to flush out the subtle differences in the minds of the users. As a rough first pass using the "compare" feature of the Corpus of Contemporary American English can give a picture of collocates to your two words of interest. If the words lived in the minds of speakers as wholly interchangeable you'd expect to see nearly identical collocates, in this case they don't.
Unfortunately, that site doesn't produce nice "click me" links, so go there, pick Display > Compare, and put your two words in the two "search string" boxes just below. The rest of the defaults are fine, and press search. And then click around on various bits.
The words are used in pretty disjoint contexts therefore they aren't precisely interchangeable, however defining the relevant contexts is a toughy. For everyday speech, most listeners will not balk at using them as if they were interchangeable.
New Oxford American English:
A quality that is inherent is a permanent part of a person's nature or essence (: an inherent tendency to fight back).
Intrinsic and essential are broader terms that can apply to things as well as people. [...] an intrinsic quality is one that belongs naturally to a person or thing (: her intrinsic fairness; an intrinsic weakness in the design).
So theoretically inherent has to do with a person and intrinsic with either a person or thing but...that's REALLY nitpicky. In fact, the very definition of inherent, according to the same dictionary is
inherent |ɪnˈhɪrənt| |ɪnˈhɛrənt|
existing in something as a permanent, essential, or characteristic attribute : any form of mountaineering has its inherent dangers | the symbolism inherent in all folk tales.
Merriam-Webster considers them synonyms. So it's really up to whatever you choose to believe. I doubt most people would perceive any difference, though.
I'm not a native English speaker. However, both words are derived from Latin roots and the German language has "intrinsisch" and "inhärent" as well, so I came across this same question. Like malach mentioned in their response, the Latin roots might point in the right direction, but to me, the plain definition or translation does not yet provide an answer to the question. I stick to objects for the moment and reiterate:
From these definitions I infer the hypothesis that intrinsic refers to properties that objects posses physically, naturally, universally, just like wuputah states in his answer, whereas inherent properties are associated as per interpretation. Interpretations are most often formed by human individuals or societies but can of course be found in animals as well as in artificial intelligences.
wuputah's example of the intrinsic conductivity of gold is very good. This particular property of gold is not open to interpretation - it just is. On the other hand, the price and usability of gold are humanly associated properties, a product of society, and it is therefore reasonable to talk about the inherent value of gold.
Why then is the word value more often correlated with intrinsic, than with inherent (as per Corpus of Contemporary American English)? I think this is a failure to recognize the truth behind the concept of value. Don't get me wrong, please: I am not claiming that writers fail to use the words correctly - according to my hypothesis - although that might well play into it. I am merely claiming, that writers actually think that gold has a high intrinsic value.
And that, for me, seems to be the main problem with these two words: As clear and specific as the (Latin-derived) definitions for intrinsic and inherent may be, and as clear cut and discriminant as I may formulate my hypothesis: It is still up to the writer to distinguish between physically, naturally possessed properties and those that are merely associated by universal societal agreement. And other factors have to be considered as well:
The uses of these two words definitely overlap, but I do think that, at times, there is a subtle difference.
In my experience, intrinsic is more frequently used when the property is unique or unexpected, while inherent is more frequently a property that would be expected or common. Ergo, intrinsic implies a certain uniqueness that inherent does not.
I also believe intrinsic is also more frequently used to refer to properties of nature-related subjects or naturally-occurring properties, for instance, a precious metal, a mountain view, etc. In this sense, an intrinsic property would be considered a "universal truth" for that subject, and would be true for any instance of the subject. Still, for intrinsic, the property is somewhat special or unique, per my first statement.

Hello. I'm trying to understand the definition of tensor product of two vector spaces. So far, I've read the one using free vector spaces and a quotient space (this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_product#Tensor_product_of_vector_spaces) , and I think I understand it well. However, I want to understand the other definitions I can find, and it seems as a very common way to define it is through the universal property (some category theory included, I suspect). Does anyone here know of a good treatment of this? I have no knowledge of category theory though, but would love to read some about it. I'm a second-year undergrad, so not too much of a high level would be nice.
Just some definitions, in case you're unfamiliar with them: Let $\hat{V}$ denote the vector space of linear functions from a vector space $V$ to the scalar field. Remember, a multilinear map is one of the form $V \times V \times \cdots \times V \to W$ (with $n$ copies of $V$), where $W$ is another vector space, such that if we fix $n-1$ of the arguments, the function becomes a linear function from $V$ to $W$ in the argument not fixed. A multilinear form is one in which $W=K$, the scalar field (you can replace $K$ with $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$ if you like). For example, the inner product on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a bilinear form on $\mathbb{R}^n$, since if we fix one argument, it becomes linear in the other. If we view an $n \times n$ matrix as a conglomeration of $n$ columns, then the determinant is an $n$-form.
Then $\hat{V} \otimes \hat{V}$ corresponds to the set of bilinear forms, and in general, a tensor product of multiple copies of $\hat{V}$ corresponds to the set of $n$-linear forms (i.e. multilinear forms with $n$ arguments). That, there is a concrete description of tensor products of the dual space with itself, and many books which do not wish to develop the notion of tensor product will use this in place of tensor products. That is, all they must do is define a certain kind of map, and then the tensor product is just the set of maps of that kind. Then how do we explain the tensor product $V \otimes V$ (or more generally $V \otimes U$, where $U$ is another vector space)? We could note that $V$ is canonically isomorphic to its double dual, i.e. the dual space of $\hat{V}$, and then view $V \otimes V$ as the set of bilinear forms on $\hat{V}$. But there is a nicer way, and this uses the universal property.
A bilinear map $V \times V \to W$ corresponds to a linear map $V \otimes V \to W$. If $f(-,-)$ denotes the bilinear map, and $x,y \in V$, then our linear map sends $x \otimes y$ to $f(x,y)$. You could try to think of the tensor product as pairs of vectors, but the tensor product contains elements which are not $x \otimes y$ for some $x,y \in V$. We do have that $x_1 \otimes y_1 + x_2 \otimes y_2$ maps to $f(x_1,y_1)+f(x_2,y_2)$. In more generality, if $W$ and $U$ are two other vector spaces, linear maps $U \otimes V \to W$ correspond to bilinear maps $U \times V \to W$. Then what is an element of $U \otimes V$? It is a thing you stick into a bilinear map. This is the key idea which helped me understand tensor products. I repeat, an element of a tensor product is simply a thing you stick into a bilinear map. In general, elements of some universal construction defined by maps going out of a certain object have some description as "things you stick into some kind of map (or a collection of multiple maps)."
You might like Brian Conrad's handouts for a sophomore differential geometry course. Especially relevant are Construction of tensor products and the two handouts after that one. They have some nice examples and a heavy emphasis on the universal property.
(I don't think this warranted more than a comment, but I can't post those yet.)
My view of the pedagogy, based on teaching this to second year undergraduates at Cambridge.
The tensor product of vector spaces is defined by generators and relations. Also generators and relations, as a way of defining anything, is a method depending on a universal property (to make much sense).
If you take these two parts one at a time, you have a chance of understanding what is happening. The generators and relations are just bilinearity spelled out. The remark about generators and relations as a mode of defining anything can be learned anywhere you like (e.g. group theory): the reason that there is a universal property is just "stuff", "abstract nonsense", "mathematical maturity" even.
I believe, quite strongly, that the eliding of the punctuation between the two sentences is a negative in teaching this material. (I really do not care if this spoils Mac Lane's or anyone else's view of category theory and its role: "universal property" is only a stepping stone there, not the ultimate goal.)
I'm pretty much in your spot. I think part of the way there is learning to think with universal properties. I recently found a really good book (Algebra: Chapter 0, link below) on 'basic' algebra using category theory to unify things. All the basic stuff like products, disjoint union, surjections and injections are treated rigorously and in great generality through their universal properties. If you already know your group and set theory reading through the first few chapters can be done quickly, and should get you in the right mode of thought. I'm doing this myself right now, and so far I recommend you do the same.
EDIT: A nice application of the tensor product can be found in the first few pages of 'Differential Forms in Topology', that is, if $\Omega^*$ is the algebra generated by the formal symbols $dx_j,j=1,\dots,n$ under the relations $dx^2=0$ and $dx_idx_j=-dx_jdx_i$, then $\Omega^*(U)=C^\infty(U)\otimes\Omega^*$ is the algebra of differential forms on the open set $U$ (under the wedge product). I'm not sure if that's how it's primarily used.
A fully categorical approach that emphasizes the universal properties of the tensor product ,as well as a great deal of multilinear algebra, can be found in T.S.Blyth's Module Theory:An Approach to Linear Algebra. There's also a discussion in Steven Roman's Advanced Linear Algebra,but the presentation in Blyth's book isn't as dry and formal.
By the way,if anyone has a serious interest in algebra,Blyth's books are some of the great unsung textbooks in the subject. They really should be better known and used in the U.S. then they are.
Thank you all. Your documents has been most helpful. I also saw some papers on the tensor product of modules, especially: http://www.math.ucsb.edu/~mckernan/Teaching/05-06/Winter/220B/l_7.pdf was helpful, and http://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/~wtg10/tensors3.html gave some good info too.
Now I'm considering TeXing a file where I try to motivate why one defines the tensor product in the first place. I think that might help me learn the definition even more. I really like the definition in some strange way, even though I find it kind of hard. I want to learn.
So once again, Thank you.

Sony BDP-S580 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black): Electronics for $117
Price drop on the Sony S580 Blu Ray player with built in wifi. I've had this unit for about a year and it's fantastic. Some reviews have stated wifi issues but I've not had any. Plugged it in and it configured itself and has worked flawlessly since.
Great selection of services including Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, Pandora and dozens more.
Great picture on blu ray and very good standard dvd picture.
I paid $175 for it in June of last year and I don't regret it.
Amazon also has it for $139 on Prime if that matters to you.
2 Comments add a comment
We have two and have also bought one for my parents. These are great players. Blu-ray and DVD look great. My wife streams netflix for a few hours a day and has no complaints.
This is a very nice blu ray player. Fast startup times, DLNA streaming, netflix, youtube, etc. I bought it some months ago, and still haven't found anything I don't like about it.
The remote even has a dedicated netflix button on it!

You guys could do us (and yourself) a huge favour if you'd write the correct net. weight for each product into the shop listings.
Because sometimes not only size matters but also weight.
For some of your products their is no weight in the data, at least once (see RD 8) it is utterly wrong and for others it is including the case. So right now one can't trust those figures at all.

Top Christmas Movies of All Timeby Lindsay Hutton
The tradition of Christmas movies is as old as movie-making itself. Some holiday movies are pretty terrible, but several are wonderful tales you can watch over and over. We've put together a list of the top Christmas movies of all time. Spanning over several decades, our favorites include older classics and newer gems, but all of them have messages that are right in line with the holiday spirit. Enjoy!
1 of 15
Will Ferrell brings the laughs in this 2003 movie about a boy who was raised by elves. When Buddy the Elf heads off to New York to find his real dad, he has a bit of a hard time fitting in with his elf costume and love of all things maple syrup. But he soon manages to win over his new family, even his emotionally-stunted dad, and manages to bring Christmas spirit to even the most jaded New Yorkers.

Unanswered: Performance issue on loading large no. of records v2.2.5 Grid with checkbox renderer
I am facing this issue while loading reasonably large number of records(say 1000 or more) in a GXT2.2.5 grid.
The problem is that i am using check box renderers for displaying some boolean information.
There are 3 different Check Box Renderers (say CB1, CB2, CB3) for a row and the relation among them is as follows: -
1) By default only CB1 will be enabled
2) CB2 will be enabled only when CB1 is checked and CB2 will be unchecked and disabled when CB1 is unchecked
3) CB3 will be enabled only when CB2 is checked and CB3 will be unchecked and disabled when CB2 is unchecked
4) Moreover the enable/disable functionality would also depend on the role of the user.
5) The check boxes are populated on the basis of property being fetched from Model.
Could you please let me know a workaround so that the above solution can be achieved in comparatively less time.
Currently it takes more than 10 minutes to load 1500 records.
A frequent help would be appreciated.

What is a CheckBoxRenderer? This isn't a GXT 2 or 3 class.
The CheckColumnConfig should render fairly quickly in GXT 2, and in GXT 3, the CheckBoxCell should as well. As far as your other rules, you'll probably wire those up by events on the model or the store, or possibly the CheckBoxCell if using 3.x.
If you are building your own GridCellRenderer in GXT 3 and returning a CheckBox widget, that may be related to your problem - drawing Widgets in a Grid is very inefficient due to the nature of widgets, so you should try to use strings of html instead in the renderer. GXT 3 does not allow widgets at all in the grid for exactly this reason.
14 Jan 2013 10:13 PM #3
Hi Colin,
Thanks for your response.
Sorry I meant GridCellRenderer.
Yes you are right, we are returning CheckBox as a widget using GridCellRenderer.
We would now try returning the html string as propsed by you and then get back to you.

Library of Birmingham opening date announced -
Tuesday 3rd September 2013
Twitter competition to nominate first book to be placed on the shelves of the Library
The new £188.8 million Library of Birmingham will open to the public on Tuesday 3rd September 2013. The announcement has also launched a competition to nominate the first book to be placed on its shelves.
Carillion, principal contractor for the project, will hand over the building to Birmingham City Council in April 2013 after which work begins on installing and testing all the IT, catering and technical systems and on the staff training programme. Specialist move contractor Nexus will begin the mammoth task of transferring over 1.5 million books and 24 kilometres of shelves of precious archive and heritage collections. It is estimated that 1,100 crates of books - a total of 66,000 crates - will be brought into the new Library every day for three months. Placed end to end, the Library's books would stretch from Birmingham to Edinburgh.
Central Library houses the city's internationally important 6,000 or more archive collections, two million photographic stills, more than 150,000 items of music, and rare books. Over 8,000 of the Library's rare books were printed before 1700 and include a Shakespeare First Folio, Audubon's 'Birds of America', one of the world's largest books, and three perfect copies of Cordiale or the Four Last Thinges printed in 1479 by William Caxton.
Work is already well advanced to prepare the archives for their transfer to the Library of Birmingham whose new facilities will include state-of-the-art exhibition gallery space and new online facilities, helping to increase public access to the collections for the first time.
To mark the official opening, a Festival of celebration and series of special exhibitions are currently being planned. The Festival will focus on the theme of Discovery giving Birmingham residents, visitors to the city, and library users, whether in person or online, exciting opportunities to experience all the new Library has to offer and discover the newly-refurbished REP theatre. It will provide a dynamic mix of events, activities and performance while showcasing the Library's unique resources, exhibitions and access to expert help for learning, information and culture. The Discovery Festival will also focus on the new services and spaces of the Library of Birmingham and The Birmingham Repertory Theatre (The REP).
The REP will be moving back into Centenary Square during the summer after a two and a half year refurbishment and extension of its building. It will also reopen to the public in September 2013, with its first season of productions under the new artistic directorship of Roxana Silbert.
First book on the Library of Birmingham's shelves
©Simon Hadley
Library users are being asked to nominate the first book to be placed onto the Library of Birmingham's shelves, a hugely symbolic celebration of the continued importance of the printed word in this library for the future.
Nominators should tweet to @libraryofbham (using the hashtag #LoB1stbook) with their choice and reason why it should be the first book to be added to the collection. Nominations will be posted on the Library of Birmingham's blog and the winner will be invited to come along on the day and add their personal selection to the Library. The closing date for entries is 30 April 2012.
Councillor Mike Whitby, Leader of Birmingham City Council and who has nominated William Golding's Lord of the Flies, comments: "We are delighted to announce the public opening date for the highly anticipated world-class new library. Its opening will be a tremendous achievement for the city. It will be a key hub for the region and, with its many partners, will place Birmingham firmly on the world stage as a major cultural destination.
"We are enormously proud of everyone who is helping to deliver the project on time and under budget. This striking landmark building will be home to state-of-the-art facilities and will transform the concept we have of a library for the 21st century. It will be enjoyed by Birmingham's many communities and visitors to the city for years to come."
Of his nomination of Lord of the Flies, Councillor Whitby goes on to say,
"I am sure our competition will reveal the diverse range of literary tastes across the City - and demonstrate Birmingham's real passion for the written word.
"My vote has to be for William Golding's Lord of the Flies. I first read it as a young man, and what certainly impressed me as an aspiring politician / public servant was Golding's portrayal of how thin the veneer of civilization is - and how watchful we need to be to preserve our democracy.
"I can't recommend Golding enough - and Lord of the Flies would certainly make an excellent choice to be the first book placed on the shelf!"
An official opening ceremony is being planned for Autumn 2013 as part of the opening Discovery Festival. Further announcements will be made next year.

text: These fork protectors (pair) give utmost protection to the fork seals. The principal difference between tight neoprene, and bellows-type protectors is the lack of 'breathing" in and out. Over the life of the motorcycle the summation of the shock seal distance traveled comes from the first few inches, and when this area of the stanchion is kept clean, dust and mud-free, (and bug-free) the seals will have the longest service life. Velcro attachment allows easier installation, no tools are necessary. The Fork Protectors are simply wrapped around the stanchions and the Velcro strap closed. The ends are then attached by cable ties to the sliding tube. 044-2100 is the same but without the velcro closure; even more simple & effective but installation is naturally more complicated.

Has anyone ever gone from Corps De Ballet straight to Principal?
I don't remember that ever happening. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
The females from within the ranks promoted to principal in recent memory from soloist to principal are - Murphy (who has flourished), Wiles (who has not flourished) and Part (don't know).
Murphy and Wiles had outstanding technique which made them usable in principal roles, Part had a certain presence.
ABT has always been an importer of talent unlike NYCB. A topic which Mr. A. M. broached in the Times. Perhaps that would be a useful topic.

Congratulations to Ms. Boylston, despite off stage drama related to a former dancer-choreographer-boyfriend, she focused on the dancing and is being rewarded.
she's definitely proved herself over this past year. Now it will be interesting to see how she develops. I've always thought Boylston had the technique and presence to be more than a corps dancer, and it's nice to see that she's been recognized for that! I wonder how this will translate for possible soloist --> principal promotions in the long run...do more established principals get leap-frogged (think Stearns' rapid accent) or is this MacKenzie's way of hinting at other possible promotions? I can't wait to hear/see how this promotions affects everyone, who continues to progress and impress and who stagnates. Promotions have been a hot topic this season and it'll be fun to see if there are anymore down the line this season...especially with the male dancers...

I think that may have happened under Baryshnikov (Susan Jaffee?) but never under Kevin. IMO his slowness to promote dancers to principal (especially women) is terrible & may prompt some worthy dancers to leave ABT. What's the point of being promoted to principal when you're past your prime? At NYCB principals are generally around 20 yrs.old. At ABT it's more like 30 yrs old. The quick promotion of Boylston is a step in the right direction. Hope Simkin named principal soon!

Based on my observations on Kevin's tendencies and the casting over the past coupe of years, it's not that Kevin is entirely slow and reluctant to promote dancers but rather that he insists on staying with the cookie cutter definitions of "principal" and "soloist." He only promotes dancers to principal if they will be able to carry a somewhat complete principal repertoire, with some exceptions. Furthermore, he also doesn't give lower ranking dancers (especially men) an opportunity to expand their repertoire with the company even if they have danced said roles as guests elsewhere. Cornejo is the last dancer that I can think of who wasn't forced into the mold of "principal," he was promoted based on his dance ability and the quality of work he produced rather than what the company needed. Stearns promotion was fast tracked from not having major roles to several in a season only to have him become principal within the year. You make a great point however, about how dancers closer to 30 won't have as many good years so Kevin should focus on younger dancers who have potential. It disheartening to think that most of the current soloists probably won't get to be a principal even though many could have easily been just because they are approaching the "later years," even if they are a ways off. I think M Wiles raise a red flag for Kevin though. It was too much too fast and she hasn't produced what many expected.
I hope that the much more frequent promotions we've seen in the last 2 or so years means that steps are being taken to prepare more dancers for the possibility of additional promotions or expanded repertoire just for the sake of having more casting varieties.

Sorry, I guess I'm old.
On one of my questions, I was asked for the "TL;DR version".
What does that mean?
Sorry, I guess I'm old.
On one of my questions, I was asked for the "TL;DR version".
What does that mean?
Too Long; Didn't Read
It means they want a summarized version.
It's an abbreviation for "Too Long; Didn't Read".
What it means on SO is that somebody didn't feel like digging into what you wrote for all the details without more guidance in the way of a summary. Since you're asking for help, and you're going to get it from unpaid volunteers who do it for their own reasons, you might then consider getting the question into a more readable form.
There are people on this site who get ticked at being asked to figure out a question when the questioner didn't seem to care enough to be clear and explicit. Usually, they'll go away and not pay any attention to your question. Posting something like "tl;dr", while perhaps a bit rude, is a useful suggestion.
Fundamentally, two things will happen to any unpaid Q&A site. Either there will be some action to keep the quality of the questions up, or the people who actually know things and are useful go away. We've already lost a really good C++ guy, apparently fed up with question quality among other things.
Wiktionary also contains Internet slang words. For TLDR ("TL;DR" is listed as "alternative"):

Who built that mess?
Politics, as defined by Ambrose Bierce, is "a strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles, the conduct of public affairs for private advantage." Indeed, the presidential campaign has begun to look like a choice between the payers and the takers, with no middle ground and advantage resting with the takers.

I have an audit coming up, and I was wondering what physical, electronic, and logical access controls an auditor would look for when auditing a database for an ERP system. I'm really new to this process and any guidance would be appreciated.

I do agree with DeCosta's answer. What requirements, specifications are you going to be audited on? But, as my best shot in the dark: This is a "best practice" publication for security related to SQL 2005 that was published by Microsoft
And the books online article:
Also, here is a list of things that PricewaterhouseCoopers covers in their services related to Audits of ERP systems. It may give you some ideas. The menu on the left hand side covers a lot of topics that may be helpful in sparking things to research.
I applaud your effort, however the question asked is probably too vague. Different rules apply to different industries and furthermore, sometimes you have the opportunity to set your own rules, you just need to follow them.
I would suggest checking with someone as to what audit you are expected to pass, then finding the specific requirements.
To add to the excellent links above; I found the following documents as helpful reference regarding security and auditing:
A point missed by those above is around identifying exactly what you are protecting - if it is credit card data, then it is easy to realise you need PCI-DSS, but in the wider scheme of things, PCI-DSS is not really that useful except as a bare minimum baseline. You need to identify what is of value to your company, whether for commercial reasons or because the regulator or shareholders say so, and ensure your audit takes these into account.
I would also suggest looking at security.stackexchange.com, which caters specifically for the security and risk professional, and there are a lot of us there who have carried out security audits, assisted with audit preparation, led large scale security improvement and testing programmes etc.

I once thought that the analogue of bialgebras and Lie bialegras is similar to that of (associative) algebras and Lie algebras, but it seems not that trivial.
Recall the definitions: a) bialgebra $A$ is a algebra $A$ with a comultiplication $\delta: A \to A\otimes A$ such that $\delta$ is coassociative and a morphism of algebras. b)Lie bialgebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ with a cobracket $\Delta:\mathfrak{g} \to \mathfrak{g}\otimes\mathfrak{g}$ such that $\Delta$ subjects to co-Jacobi identity and $\Delta$ is a cocycle, where the action of $\mathfrak{g}$ on $\mathfrak{g}\otimes \mathfrak{g}$ is by adjoints.
Naïvely, we may expect the cobracket $\Delta$ to be a Lie algebra morphism but not a cocycle. Why so? This is the first part of my question, the other part: Is it possible to build a Lie bialgebra out of a bialgebra via alternating? Thanks in advance.
