Star Trek Into Darkness 3D, BD, DVD, Digital for $19.99
This is the "Target exclusive" edition with 4 Discs (or the regular 3 disc 3D release if you prefer; Target has both). This is the same price that WalMart had last week but the 4-disc Target edition is available.
It includes 4 formats: 3-D BD, regular BD, DVD, digital.
If you go in-store to buy it, be conscious of what version you pick. Target carries two versions of the 3-D BluRay. Both are $19.99 but the Target exclusive version has 4 discs while the standard 3-D release includes only 3 discs; I don't know what's on the extra disc). The exclusive version has a red-orange-yellow-blue cover (watch out for the Target non-3-D version with the same cover) while the standard 3-D version has a lenticular cover with a burning Enterprise (similar but not the same as the pic here).
Oddly, the non-3-D BluRay currently costs $5 more than this version.
I just noticed that this shows as "not sold online" but it's too good a deal to not post. Tattle if it's inappropriate.

Paramount really screwed their fans with this release. Target is rumored to have the best "exclusive" content. As far as I know, it's only missing only an iTunes exclusive commentary track. However, I don't recommend the 4 disc one, as that's not the Target Exclusive, the 3 disc one is...
I may be incorrect, but you can read more about how they totally boned the fans here:
Not @Target.com nor on Utah's Wasach Front.
Two versions in store..one with a lenticular cover and one with a sleeve that has 4 images and a sticker stating the Target exclusive. Use your Red Card and save 5%.
Not at Target in Philadelphia
I found it at my local target today for 19.99. It's the 3 Disc Version and the main display by registers didn't show it on sale, said it was 34.99. But when I scanned the barcode with the price check it came out 19.99.

In a paper placed on the arXiv today Shelah references theorem 0.9 from this paper (also Shelah) that uses $\aleph_{736}$ as an upper bound. This strikes me as analogous to Skewes' number. Are there any other examples where explicit mentions of 'large alephs' are used in proofs or theorems? Large in this instance is $\aleph_n$ for $n > 3$, say.
Edit: The first version of this question asks for $n$ a natural number, because clearly there are uses of $\aleph_\omega$ that are not all that uncommon, I imagine. But if there are uses of alephs - in isolation, not as part of a general transfinite induction scheme - that have $n$ an infinite ordinal like $\omega^2\cdot 5 + 45$ or some specific polynomial in $\omega$ which is 'not boring' (e.g. $\omega, \omega+1$), then I'd like to hear those as well.
Bonus points, even though this is a separate question: where does the 736 come from? Is it due to some sort of Goedelian numbering scheme that encodes the statement "G is a free abelian group", which is part of the theorem?

Hundreds of Louisvillians will take "The Plunge" this weekend for a very special cause.
Tumbleweed on River Road will once again host the annual Special Olympics Polar Plunge, one of the organization's biggest fundraisers of the year.
The Plunge works just like a walk-a-thon, but with one big twist: Participants solicit donations but instead of walking, they take a chilly dip into the Ohio River at Tumbleweed on the Waterfront. Anyone can participate by donating a "bear" minimum of $75 (it's only $50 for junior plungers).
Last year's Polar Plunge was pushed out of the Ohio River for the first time since 2003 as high water forced the event to be held with participants jumping into a pair of pools set up in the amphitheater at Waterfront Park. The change didn't deter plungers, however, as more than 1,275 turned out, raising $357,000 for Special Olympics.
This year's event is sponsored by Tumbleweed, Zappo's, WAVE 3, 84WHAS, 93.1 The Fox, Louisville's GenX Radio 100.5, Radio Now 98.9, the Kentucky Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics, CBS Outdoor, Watson's Pools, Louisville Metro Government and AAA Travel.
Tumbleweed Operating Partners Matt and Mike Higgins and their staff look forward to the festivities, despite the weekend's icy outlook, at least for those who will be going for a swim.
"We support Special Olympics because it has given us such a wonderful tie to all of our local communities in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky," Matt Higgins said. "It started as a perfect opportunity for an event at the waterfront and now has blossomed into a heartwarming partnership that truly affects every person in our organization.
The brothers invite their entire staff to participate, said Matt Higgins. "It's truly a team effort. It's for such a great cause, and we are so proud to be a part of it."
For more information about the Polar Plunge, contact Candace Thompson at 502.326.5002. e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or go to soky.kintera.org/2012louisvilleplunge.
Saturday, February 25
Tumbleweed on the River
- 9:30 am. to 1 p.m. – Registration (including day of walk-up registration)
- 10:30 a.m. – Opening Ceremonies
- 11:00 am – Plunging begins
- Noon – Awards Break

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
I see this often with new websites (although less common over the past 2 or 3 years) - at one point, it appeared that when you completed a new site and got it live it would rank fairly well and after a while, it would disappear and then eventually settle out. This is not a million miles away from the Google Sandbox although does differ in some areas.
Further investigation also revealed that a lot of this traffic is bots - trying to get everything entered on their records (whether it's spiders for engines, chaching websites or just people crawling new websites to collect phone numbers/emails etc).
I'm convinced that (and I cannot prove this - it's just what experience suggests) after Google indexes a chain of events occur (such as those already mentioned) and this is why the bot count is so high.
However, there is also no reason why the following hasn't occured
1) Your website has changed with a negative SEO result 2) A competitor(s) website(s) have changed, performing better than yours, moving above your site in the rankings for various keywords, therefore meaning less people click your website.
I mention this for fullness only (I know it's not part of the question) but remember, SEO is not just about how well you've SEO'd your website, it's also about how well the competition are doing!
That's not fast growth, it's a spike. (Though note you're providing no context.)
Chop off those two highest points, which represent all of two weeks(probably two days) over ~5 months, and the graph is much more even.
What is the subject matter of your website?
On the other hand, the decline could simply be seasonal variation. If, for example, it's related to some corporate event which happens around late May, then an annual growth-decline pattern is to be expected. Also, most websites experience declines in August due to northern hemisphere vacations. Everyone's on the beach instead of sat at their computers.

Third set I've ordered
By Grandma De
from Conway, AR
I use these to store gone China, and to protect China during a local move.
Effective, not luxurious
By Virginia Vintage
from Roanoke, VA
These came as advertised - made of a thin "quilt" looking vinyl, they store the number of pieces they are advertised to hold. I could have probably fit more into the dish storage containers, but the cups are designed for a max of 12 and that is all they will hold. The zippers do not open all the way around the top of the dish storage containers, making it difficult at times to fit the china in. My only significant concern is about durability - I use them to store rental vintage china, and I am not sure they will hold up to frequent useage, as I fear the vinyl will rip or tear easily. Time will tell. However, they look fairly nice and are effective at providing protection from the elements during transport and storage. The cup holders may provide protection from breakage, but I don't believe the dish storage containers would provide protection from any significant bumps.

By Isabella

This is a good product at a good price for storing china and keeping it dust free. Though I have a lot of extras and needed two sets to get enough storage.
By JennB
from OFallon, MO
These are really flimsy & the separators are all sized for the smallest container so you have to use multiple separators for dinner plates. I don't trust the handles that are on the outside once you have the dishes inside the handles feel like they will rip from the weight, I only had 8 place setting in the containers. The openings in the coffee cup holder aren't large enough.I had 2 sets of dishes to store & bought another set from another place & they were much sturdier & fit the different size dishes better. The only reason I didn't get 2 sets of those is that I needed more containers than the other set offered for the one set of dishes.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It worked great for my china set now that I don't have a china cabinet!

I went and saw this today. AWESOME.
I wonder how long this has until release? Seems like it will be a while..
There's a coupon for $5 off the four-disc edition that also comes with 3-D and digital copy. That one comes out to $29.99 after the coupon. Why not pony up the extra $2?
@turbizzi: Thanks for the info! I also jumped on Finding Nemo 3D with the coupon on that page!
@turbizzi: Awesome. Thank you sir, in for one. Great movie!
Great movie, but I refuse to pay even $20 for a single movie - even this one. $28 is out of the question. I'll wait 'til it's $10 or under. >_>
@turbizzi: Why pony up the extra money if you will never watch the 3D version and have no interest in the digital copy?
@proxgotsthafia: that's my reasoning also. I don't like the 3-D thing and certainly wouldn't spend the cash on the necessary equipment for viewing at home. and digital copies are a joke and a headache. No thanks.
@starbob: Certainly on the shelves in time for Christmas, wouldn't you think?
@pikabud: Thank you for the Finding Nemo tip... I have been waiting for that to come out on Blu-Ray for years...
Even though I don't have 3-D or anything like that... its still worth the coupons and the prices for the extra goodies.
@jwscws09: You do understand that a Standard 480p movie looks the same with or without a blue ray version right?
@bayjacob: What are you talking about here? I'm not familiar with any studio-issued Blu-rays which contain a main feature in anything less than 720p. Blu-ray versions of "older" films are (nearly) always remastered from the source material, which is very easy to do with a CG movie.

At a hearing Tuesday afternoon in Logan Circuit Court, Special Judge Tyler Gill granted Matt Baker's motion for summary judgment, making a disputed section of road leading to Beech Bend Raceway private property.
For almost two years, Beech Bend Raceway owner, Dallas Jones, had fought with Baker over a tenth-of-a-mile of road cutting through Baker's property to Jones' race track. Baker cited a 1993 Warren County ordinance that said the public right-of-way did not include that tenth-of-a-mile and in today's ruling, Judge Gill agreed.
But it was a costly victory for Baker, who may have lost his seat on Kentucky's Court of Appeals in 2003 because of this bitter dispute. "My wife and I are trying to teach three boys to do the right thing," said Baker, "have the courage of their convictions, stand up for yourself. And doing what's right isn't always measured in a public opinion poll."
Tuesday morning the Warren County Fiscal Court voted unanimously to join a Beech Bend motion asking for a temporary injunction allowing Beech Bend to use the road for six major events at the track from May 16 through June 11. But today's ruling makes that argument irrelevant.
Today Baker told us if Dallas Jones comes to him to ask for temporary use of the road, he would listen. WBKO tried to call Jones, but we were unable to reach him.

To keep it short, now it works again. Go to >Finder >Nikon Software >ViewNX>open map> click ViewNX Map >information>access rights>+add new and I added "administrator"
wow, now it starts up again without crash. Sometimes try and error helps.

I'm reading an English text about politics, and in one paragraph I found "voters," "electorates" and "constituents." Now I would like to know if they are absolutely the same, or if they have slightly different meanings. Here is the whole paragraph: Any help is appreciated
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
"Voters" are the people who vote (or more generally, those who are entitled to vote, whether they do so or not).
"Electorate" is usually a mass noun meaning "the collection of all voters". The use of the plural in your quotation I find rather strange and can only interpret it as "the collections of voters in different countries or polities" - its plural form occurring only because this is a general text talking about different countries.
"Constituents" are the people represented by a politician. I would use it to mean all those represented, whether they are voters or not, but there is room for some argument there. In most places "constituents" are a geographically defined group, but they could be, for example, the members of a profession if some body were organised to have representatives of professions.
They are different.
A word of caution, though: quite often, "voters" is used to mean everyone that can vote (as opposed to everyone who does vote) - but that's unlikely in a formal text about politics like the one you referred to in your question.
Here's my understanding:
A voter is simply an individual person who votes, or potentially votes.
An electorate is a defined geographic area that votes for the outcome of a single seat, or a set of seats. Electorate can also be used to refer to the collection of voters within that area.
A sitting parliamentarian's constituents are the voters within the electorate represented by him/her.
The three words have subtly different meanings, but in the paragraph you posted those distinctions don't seem to matter much at all. In this particular case you won't lose much meaning by reading them all as equivalents.
A voter refers to any enfranchised person. This person has the right to vote.
The electorate is a collective term for all voters.
A Constituent refers to a voter within a defined constituency.

[carbon capture]
[carbon management]
[climate change]
Filtering CO2 from factory smokestacks is a
necessary, but expensive, part of many manufacturing processes.
However, a collaborative research team from the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University
of Delaware has gathered new insight into the performance of a
material called zeolite that may stop carbon dioxide in its
tracks far more efficiently than current scrubbers do.
The roughly octagonal pores in zeolite SSZ-13 are like stop
signs for carbon dioxide, capturing molecules of the greenhouse
gas while apparently letting other substances through (Fig. 3).
The material could prove to be an economical smokestack
Fig. 3. Zeolites may be
breakthrough solution for
carbon capture
Zeolites are highly porous rocksthink of a sponge made
of stoneand while they occur in nature, they can be
manufactured as well. Their toughness, high surface area (a
gram of zeolite can have hundreds of square meters of surface
in its myriad internal chambers) and ability to be reused
hundreds of times make them ideal candidates for filtering gas
mixtures. If an unwanted molecule in the gas mixture is found
to stick to a zeolite, passing the mixture through it can scrub
the gas of many impurities, so zeolites are widely used in
industrial chemistry as catalysts and filters.
The team explored a zeolite created decades ago in an
industrial lab and known by its technical name, SSZ-13. This
zeolite, which has octagonal windows between its
interior pore spaces, is special because it seems highly
capable of filtering out CO2 from a gas mixture.
That makes SSZ-13 a promising candidate for scrubbing
this greenhouse gas out of such things as factory
smokestacks, said Craig Brown, a researcher at the NIST
Center for Neutron Research (NCNR). So we explored, on an
atomic level, how it does this so well.
Using neutron diffraction, the team determined that
SSZ-13s eight-sided pore windows are particularly good at
attracting the long, skinny carbon dioxide molecules and holding
onto their positively charged central carbon atoms,
all the while allowing other molecules with different shapes
and electronic properties to pass by unaffected. Like a stop
sign, each pore halts one CO2 moleculeand each
cubic centimeter of the zeolite has enough pores to stop 0.31
grams of CO2, a quantity that the research team says
makes SSZ-13 highly competitive when compared to other
adsorbent materials.
Mr. Brown said a zeolite like SSZ-13 probably will become a
prime candidate for carbon scrubbing because it also could
prove more economical than other scrubbers currently used in
industry. SSZ-13s ability to attract only CO2
could mean its use would reduce the energy demands of
scrubbing, which can require up to 25% of the power generated
in a coal or natural gas power plant.
Many industrial zeolites attract water and carbon dioxide, which are both
present in flue exhaustmeaning both molecules are, in a
sense, competing for space inside the zeolite, Mr. Brown
said. We suspect that this novel CO2
adsorption mechanism means that water is no longer competing
for the same site. A zeolite that adsorbs CO2 and
little else could create significant cost savings, and
thats what this one appears to do.
Mr. Brown said that his team is still collecting data to
confirm this theory, and that their future efforts will
concentrate on exploring whether SSZ-13 is equally good at
separating CO2 from methane, the primary component
of natural gas. CO2 is also released in significant
quantities during gas extraction, and the team is hopeful that
SSZ-13 can also address this problem. HP
All comments are subject to editorial review.
All fields are compulsory.
Removing CO2 is possible by many mechanism and this is just one, and the extracted CO2 could be injected in salt domes or used in EOR, good way of relieving the atmosphere, but the total cost vs scrubbers it is the challenge
Hugo Garcia
A great development!! is there any comment on how the Zeolite will be reactivated and how the traped CO2 can be comercialized?
Allen Botha
So what happens when the zeolite becomes saturated- the CO2 is not converted and should be a greater source (concentration) of CO2 release to the atmosphere. To the best of my knowledge there is not market for CO2 as the present users can filter sufficient pure CO2 using Activated Carbon or other absobing material – it is hard to understand the excitement about removing it from the atmosphere.
Stanley Che, Ph.D; P.E.
What is the dressure drop for SSZ-13 during the capture of CO2? How is SSZ-13 regenerated, by pressure swing or by vacuum? In either case, additional hardware cost will be required. Has there any study been done?
I feel that the process is an excellent option vs amine absorption to purify CO2 for its use. but to remove it from the atmosphere to reduce climate change is a bigger problem.

Definition of retry in English:
verb (retries, retrying, retried)
1 [with object] Law Try (a defendant or case) again.
Example sentences
- Because the verdict was critically tainted, it ordered that the defendant be retried.
- The Appeals Chamber may dismiss the appeal, or acquit the appellant, or order that the accused be retried, or change the sentence.
- Seven months later, the accused was retried and found guilty as charged.
2 [no object] Computing Re-enter a command, especially because an error was made the first time: please retry with a valid module name
More example sentences
- Since Cleanfeed gives a 'not found' error, people visiting the sites are going to assume that it was an error and probably retry at least once.
- The browser will then ask the user to retry their user name and password.
- Try shutting them down one at a time, and retrying your install.
2.1(Of a system) transmit data again because the first attempt was unsuccessful: you instruct DOS to retry persistently to print if the printer is busy and won't accept fresh data
More example sentences
- If you insert a CD and choose Retry, it will retry as if nothing had gone wrong.
- Few messages were rejected during the import process; those that were simply were retried by the source SMTP servers.
- In addition, the servers ship with a tool that will retry failed instructions immediately, taking away the need to flush and rebuild software buffers.
An instance of re-entering a command or retransmitting data: the need for retries slows things down
More example sentences
- By using the redundant drive, time wasting retries can be eliminated by enabling real-time correction on the controller for failed or slow responding disks.
- If, for instance, a message cannot be delivered, it is scheduled to be delivered later, without immediately initiating a continuous retry.
- Key factors they published were time to connect, average number of retries, number of unexpected disconnects, download speeds for a range of file sizes, and so on.

5 Classic Movies That Seemed Like Terrible Ideas At The Time
#2. Schindler's List
"With Jurassic Park a surefire hit, I'm thinking about following it up with a subject no moviegoer can resist: the Holocaust. Also, it'll be more than three hours long. And in black and white. And much if it won't be in English."
"The real guy looked kinda flabby, so we'll have to sex it up with Liam Neeson."
It Seems Obvious Now ...
Well, of course Steven Spielberg can make that into a success. He could do a movie applauding the Holocaust and people would go see it. Seven Academy Awards, $321 million in worldwide box office later, not a single year goes by without another Holocaust movie featuring some big star or other. Why not? What subject is more ripe for drama than that?
That's right before he gets killed by Darth Maul.
But at the Time ...
Drama? Yes. Money at the box office? Shit, no. Look on a list of all the Holocaust movies ever made and the closest thing you find to a hit before Schindler's List is 1982's Sophie's Choice, and it had the advantage of being based on a best-selling novel (Thomas Kenneally's Schindler's Ark, the book Schindler's List was based on, was not a bestseller).
In interviews, Spielberg quoted an executive "that will remain nameless" as asking why instead of making this movie, Spielberg and Universal didn't just make a gigantic donation to the Holocaust Memorial Museum. Why waste the money shooting a movie nobody was going to see anyway?
Replace that human shit with money, and you get the picture.
It's not like Spielberg's 1987 film Empire of the Sun had done anything to increase interest in the Japanese occupation of China during World War II (until this moment, did you even realize that's what that movie was about?). And no one who had just sat through that, The Color Purple, Always, Hook, or Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom had much reason to expect the director of those five movies to know how to avoid making a movie where Nazi cartoons kill a bunch of Jewish cartoons. During a party, Fred Schepsi, one of Kenneally's original collaborators, yelled at Spielberg, "You'll fuck it up!"
"Though to be fair, I have no clue what I'm talking about."
Hell, Spielberg himself guaranteed that the studio would lose all their money. That's why they had suggested he just donate it -- it was basically just charity anyway.
Or so they thought. Schindler's List wound up as one of the top-10 highest grossing movies of the year. This 195-minute Holocaust depress-a-thon finished ahead of lighthearted hits like Free Willy and Groundhog Day.
You leave Bill Murray alone, Holocaust!
Spielberg himself didn't make anything, having waived his directorial fee and donated his personal profits -- to the tune of $53 million -- to start up the Righteous Persons Foundation.
#1. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
"Here's an idea -- a movie about genetic freaks, made with a budget that's more than the total value of the studio. Also, it'll be a feature-length animated movie, and we've never, ever made one of those before."
Is it just us, or does Disney look like a pimp in that picture?
It Seems Obvious Now ...
As big of a deal as you think Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is, it's actually bigger than that. It's considered a big deal when a movie grosses $100 million, but Snow White sold 109 million tickets. If they'd charged today's ticket prices, it'd have made more money in the U.S. than Avatar, The Dark Knight ... just about any movie you can name. It was the first cog in the Disney animated money printing machine that would continue with features like Bambi and Cinderella, all the way through to modern-day mega-blockbusters like The Lion King and the Pixar films. And why not? They're classic stories that people of all ages can enjoy.
But at the Time ...
In 1937, animated movies were brand new, and successful animated movies weren't really a thing -- nobody had tried for a decade (the last one was 1926's German film The Adventures of Prince Achmed and it had been a flop). No animated feature had been made in the U.S. before. There had never been one made in color anywhere.
For that matter, movies themselves were still fairly new -- Disney had never made a feature film before, and when Walt Disney plunged ahead with his adaptation of the Snow White tale, the company didn't even know how to distribute the movie, or how much to charge for it (Charlie Chaplin would eventually lend him the reports from his own successful movies to use as reference). And with Snow White, Disney wasn't exactly dipping his toe into the waters -- the production would go 400 percent over budget, an amount more than the total value of the studio. It was less a sensible business venture than something your senile grandpa does at the casino.
"Put it all on red!" "Sir, this is a poker table."
And the movie was about dwarfs. During the 1930s in America, there were often forced sterilizations of people with any kind of abnormality. Movies with major dwarf characters such as Freaks and Terror of Tiny Town had bombed. No less an authority than Walt Disney's wife, Lillian, told Walt that nobody would pay to see "a dwarf picture." In the press the movie acquired the moniker "Disney's folly."
The movie would open to a successful theatrical run in 1937. It made so much money that when the studio needed cash in 1944, they released it again. And people flocked to see it, again. So they re-released it in 1952, 1958, 1967, 1975, 1983, 1987 and 1993. During that last release in 1993, this 56-year-old movie opened in the top five at the box office that week.
"Now that I'm rich, which one of you bitches gets the back of my hand first?"
Not bad, for a dwarf movie.

I became interested in how numbers actually work recently. I want a source that covers number theory. Explaining how and why numbers react the way they do. A friend recommended Mathematical Proofs: A Transition to Advanced Mathematics.
I want to learn about the concept of numbers, how they interact etc. I am a high school student, but most college level material will be appropriate.
-- Also, in my search I have found Mathematics in 10 lessons: The Grand Tour, and Foundations and Fundamentals of Mathematics.
If anyone could confirm that those two resources are adequate, I would appreciate it, and other resources are still welcome.
P.S. I do not like the Khan Academy. His presentations do not... serve my needs.

More than one in five residents in Canada was born in another country, making it one of the world's top destinations for international migrants. From its migration policymaking aimed at identifying and recruiting workers needed by the Canadian economy, to its immigrant integration policies, and efforts to recruit skilled migrants and international students, the research collected here focuses on the diverse policies, practices, and trends that Canada is experiencing.
This report, commissioned by the BBC World Service, seeks to explore the myriad impacts of the global financial crisis that began in September 2008 on migration flows, immigration policies, remittances, and on migrants themselves. Select countries and regions are examined in detail to highlight overarching trends and regional differences.
This report explores the need for nations to adjust their thinking and policy toward attracting the coveted elite class of highly skilled global talent as emerging and middle-income countries increasingly attempt to woo back their nationals and engage their diaspora to help move their economy forward.
This report examines the advantages and disadvantages of two fundamentally different approaches to economic migrant selection—demand driven and employer led systems and human-capital-accumulation focused and government led systems, best illustrated by "points systems," which apportion numerical values to desirable human-capital characteristics.
This pocket guide compiles some of the most credible, accessible, and user-friendly government and non-governmental data sources pertaining to U.S. and international migration. The guide also includes additional links to relevant organizations, programs, research, and deliverables, along with a glossary of frequently used immigration terms.
This report provides a global look at circular migration experiences, depicts various governments' attempts at creating circular migration, evaluates the economic costs and benefits of circular migration for sending and receiving countries, identifies components of effective bilateral agreements, and reviews outcomes governments might realistically expect from their circular migration policies.
This brief takes a look at hometown associations (HTAs)—immigrant organizations based on a common hometown—and their often overlooked function as integration intermediaries in their country of destination.

In an attempt to understand a bit better large cardinals, I have been thinking along the following lines, which could be summarized under the slogan
Talk about cardinals without the (ambient) set theory
the class ON is first-order axiomatizable, and thus it looks like I can carve out of ON the subclass CARD (for instance, one could add to the theory an equivalence relation, $\alpha \equiv \beta$ formalizing equinomerosity, and then define a cardinal in the usual way as the min ordinal in the equivalence class).
Once I have my definable predicate $CARD(\alpha)$, I can proceed to introduce cardinal arithmetics. For instance, I can define successor as the minimal cardinal greater than the given cardinal.
Obviously, I need to make some assumptions as to the basic cardinal arithmetics, so that it looks like the standard one in $ZFC$ + (possibly) generalized continuum hypothesis.
Now, assuming one has done all of the above, it appears that the "small" large cardinals, such as weak inaccessible, Mahlo, etc are definable in this theory (even in standard presentations, such as Drake, their definition is arithmetic ).
But what about the others, the heavy-weight ones? Do I necessarily have to resort to the ambient set theory ( stationary points, elementary embeddings, etc ) to talk about very large cardinals, or there is always a direct (algebraic/arithmetical/topological) way to provide their definition?
Prima facie, it looks like the answer is no, but maybe there is a clever path to answer in the affirmative. Or perhaps, there is some kind of intrinsic boundary, beyond which you need to think of cardinals within the context of set theory
Any thought, refs, or known fact?

Back to Consulting Rankings
Vault's Diversity ranking is based on how well firms perform in five individual diversity categories as well as an overall ranking.
Vault's survey asked consultants to rate their firm's diversity
with respect to women, with respect to minorities, with respect to
gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender individuals, with respect
to individuals with disabilities, and with respect to veterans.
When asking consultants to assess their firm's diversity in these
categories, we asked them to think about hiring, promoting,
mentoring and other programs.
To determine an overall diversity score, we took the average of
the scores firms received in each of the five diversity categories
(women, minorities, LGBT, individuals with disabilities, and
military veterans).

What information is greatly lacking which does not allow us to propose a solid theory for origin of life ?
First of all, we do have some solid theories to explain the origin of life. That said, the main thing missing in order to be able to accept one of these theories with a decent amount of certainty is the ability to run a planetary scale experiment for a few billion years.
The theories are fine, the problem is that we cannot really test them. In order to test a theory that describes the origin of life, we will have to recreate the original conditions (think of a test tube the size of the Earth) and then pump energy into the system and watch what happens over the next few billions of years. This is not really feasible, for obvious reasons. I really doubt you will be able to get funding for an experiment that will run that long.

5 Real People Who Got Screwed by Famous Movies Based on Them
#2. The Girlfriend in Ed Wood Wasn't a Shrill Harpy
What You Saw in the Movie:
In the 1994 film Ed Wood, Tim Burton's loving tribute to the worst director of all time, Sarah Jessica Parker plays Dolores Fuller, the unsupportive girlfriend who leaves Wood (Johnny Depp) because of his strange friendships and habit of wearing women's clothing. Also, the whole "being the worst director of all time" thing.
"But honey, at least I change the lead actors, and the music isn't always by the same guy!"
The film follows Wood's misadventures trying to make it in the film industry despite the entire world being against him (because, again, he has no talent), but through it all, the director retains his positive attitude -- Dolores dumping him for petty reasons is one of the few things that actually wipes that smile off his face and makes him question his vocation. He's better off, though, because eventually he finds a woman who isn't an opportunistic, judgmental shrew, and presumably they live happily ever after.
But in Real Life ...
Unlike what's shown in the movie, the real Dolores Fuller says Wood's cross-dressing didn't bother her -- the real reason she left him was because he "woke up drunk." Ed Wood was "an alcoholic throughout his adult life," even while making the "classics" shown in Burton's biopic.
That's ... probably the least surprising fact in Cracked history.
Even Bela Lugosi, depicted in the film as a sad drug addict, lived to the age of 72: Wood drank himself to death at 54, leaving his wife destitute. Meanwhile, Fuller went on to have a more successful career as a songwriter, penning a dozen songs for Elvis, so she probably made the right call there. His being the transvestite director of the worst films ever made may have had a role in their breakup, but it's not like she didn't try to be supportive: In the movie, Dolores has to be convinced to appear in Wood's Glen or Glenda, but in real life, she not only acted in the film but helped raise money, scout locations and pick the wardrobe for Wood's character (some of which was her own).
LA Times
And unlike the Johnny Depp/Sarah Jessica Parker version, he didn't make a hotter woman than her.
Apparently, Parker didn't even bother to talk to Fuller before playing her: They only met at a press party for the movie, where Parker called her "the worst actress in the history of film" to her face. Fuller wasn't exactly Meryl Streep, but still, you'd think the star of Hocus Pocus and Sex and the City 2 would be in no position to judge.
#1. Oliver Stone's JFK Declares an Innocent Man Guilty of Helping Kill Kennedy
What You Saw in the Movie:
In Oliver Stone's film JFK, Kevin Costner plays District Attorney Jim Garrison, who, in 1966, comes across evidence that President Kennedy was actually murdered by some sort of CIA-backed anti-Cuban black ops group dissatisfied with the way he was handling the commies. At the center of this conspiracy is a guy named David Ferrie, who in a flashback scene is shown almost single-handedly planning the entire plot to kill JFK.
Played by Joe Pesci, with some help from Martin Scorsese's eyebrows.
Ferrie's main co-conspirator in all this is businessman Clay Shaw, and when they're not planning presidential assassinations, they like to blow off steam by hosting fabulous gay masquerades. If you don't feel like seeing Tommy Lee Jones' gold-painted nipples, look away now.
Thanks to this, Kevin Bacon is now only one degree removed from our next nightmare.
At one point, Ferrie comes to Garrison and admits to knowing Lee Harvey Oswald and being involved in the black ops group -- a few days later, he's found dead in his apartment, strongly hinting that he either killed himself or the CIA killed him and faked it as a suicide.
But in Real Life ...
The entire point of Stone's depiction of events is that it's impossible to tell which parts are fake. In real life, Garrison did indeed reopen the case on the JFK assassination, and he did in fact believe it was a conspiracy involving Ferrie, Shaw and black ops agents working to overthrow Castro (and bitter about JFK not helping them). In real life, the jury only needed about an hour to decide that the whole thing was bullshit. It had something to do with Garrison having no evidence for his theory whatsoever.
In fact, the only reason Ferrie was involved in the investigation at all was that he had years earlier served with Oswald in the Civil Air Patrol, and because a mental patient called Jack Martin told the FBI that Ferrie had used his hypnotist powers to mind control Oswald into killing Kennedy.
Incog Man
"Look into my eyebrows. You're falling asleep."
In the movie, Martin is played by Jack Lemmon, but for some reason they skip his mental history and wackier accusations. Meanwhile, Garrison himself wasn't entirely right in the head, apparently: At one point, he described the entire assassination plot as "a homosexual thrill-killing" and believed that Ferrie's motivation was that Kennedy was "virile" and "handsome." Ferrie, Shaw, Oswald, Jack Ruby -- in Garrison's mind, they were all part of some sort of gay role-playing president-killing cult.
Abraham Lincoln Papers
On second thought, that mustache looks suspiciously well groomed.
The movie takes Garrison's crazy conclusions and shows them as fact, complete with Ferrie confessing everything in private (he didn't) and flashing back to Ferrie and Shaw planning the assassination. In reality, there's no evidence whatsoever that Ferrie and Shaw knew each other, or that they belonged to a black ops group, or that they planned a presidential assassination, or even that they pranced around dressed like Mozart.
Clay Shaw was guilty of nothing more than being the creepiest-looking man in Washington.
OK, what about the suspicious suicide of Ferrie, which the movie insists was a hit job by the CIA? Well, Ferrie had been very sick, and the coroner ruled that his death was definitely due to natural causes.
To be fair, in real life Ferrie did have a disease that rendered him hairless, and he did wear a weird wig and fake eyebrows wherever he went. So Stone got that part right. Bravo!

Every one of us knows what a lawn mower is but a yard sweeper, sounds a little foreign isn't? The lawn mower is an equipment that is used to cut the grasses in the lawn whereas the yard sweeper is used to clear off the fallen dead leafs, cut grasses or litter from the lawn or any other area outdoors. Lawn mowing by itself is a tough and tiring task for many.
What is more tiring than lawn mowing is removing leaves, grass and other unwanted material from the lawn. Lawn sweepers are actually an alternative to the use of leaf blowers and garden vacuums.
There are several types of yard sweepers. Like standard push sweeper. This yard sweeper sweeps the lawn in circular motion. The best part of this kind of a lawn mower is it collects all the unwanted stuff in a container and this container can be emptied later. The principal behind the sweeper is nothing but an axle which contains half a dozen brushed behind it. The attached brush brushes off all the debris and collects it in a depositing bag. This deposit is present in the rear end. However one has to ensure that all places are cleaned as the yard sweeper skips the depressed areas in the lawn.
The towed yard sweeper is pulled by a lawn tractor or a riding mower. They resemble the push sweeper but have greater width and the collecting bag present in this type of yard sweeper is comparatively big. Small wheels or rollers present in the yard sweeper so that the sweeper is not dragged on the lawn while sweeping. The best part of the yard sweeper is that they are corrosion and abrasion resistant and the sweeping brushes can be adjusted to the required levels.
Leaf push rake yard unlike other yard sweepers does not only

sweeps the leaves and other grass materials but also gathers twigs and sometimes even the stones from the paths. The Roll-n-Rake yard sweeper is light weight and simplifies the act of racking. One can clean the yard without any fuss even during the fall season. This kind of sweeper helps in quick and easy cleaning that can be used all through the year.
Lawn Vacuum cleaners are designed to have strong engine and suction force. This yard sweeper not only helps in clearing away the grass, twigs and stones but can also clear any trash that is found its way. All the trash that is swept in by the brushed gets collected in a mobile container through flexible discharge hose which are puncture proof. The tires are manufacture to be semi pneumatic with handles to prevent vibration.
Generally lawn sweepers are manufactured from durable material. However little maintenance like maintaining the sweeper clean and dry. The frame which is made of steel must be wiped with oil to avoid rust formation. The collecting bags must be cleaned and if they are made out of nylon cleaning and drying them thoroughly is most important. One can find loads of yard sweepers with different features in the market and one can take the help of online shopping to purchase the one that suits their needs and budget the best.

The New Boston facility began production in June 2008 and has been idled for approximately four years. Brad Albin, REG vice president of manufacturing, said the plant will undergo some construction and minor upgrades prior to the facility's start-up, which is expected in the first quarter of 2013.
Renewable Energy Group (REG) has acquired a 15
million gal/year biorefinery located in New Boston,
Texas, the US-based biodiesel producer said on
With the acquisition, REG's nameplate biodiesel production
capacity is expected to increase to more than 225 million
gallons annually, according to the company.
REG paid $300,000 in cash and issued 900,000 shares of its
common stock to North Texas Bio Energy for the multi-feedstock biorefinery, located about
22 miles west of Texarkana.
It is REG's second Texas biodiesel production facility,
following the 2008 acquisition of its Houston-area
"Bringing New Boston into the REG family grows our solid,
proven business model of using lower cost feedstock and providing cleaner
energy solutions for American consumers," said REG chief
executive Daniel J. Oh.
"Our customers across the southern US demand more
REG-9000 biodiesel, and this is a long-term plan to
respond to our customers' needs. We remain focused on strategic
growth by increasing the availability of biodiesel in high
distillate demand regions throughout North America," Oh

vice president of manufacturing, said the plant will undergo

REG said it plans to utilize animal fats and other high free
fatty acid feedstocks to produce biodiesel at
the refinery. The company has initiated
RFS2 registration through the EPA.
"The REG technology team will soon be on-site
in New Boston to re-start the biodiesel process with a plan to
have high quality, REG-9000 biodiesel available in the
market upon the completion of the EPA registration process,"
said Albin.
The company said it expects to hire nearly 20 full-time,
green-collar employees at the REG New Boston site.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

In molecular biology, what's the meaning of the terms "downstream signaling" and "upstream signaling"? What's the difference between them?
It simply means after and before with respect to the flow of information in a given pathway. For example, consider this schematic representation of a pathway:
In this schema, Kinase1 is downstream of TF1 and upstream of ProtA. Or, to take a classic example (source):
MEK1/2 is downstream of Raf and upstream of ERK1/2.
If you think of a transcription factor, than this factor needs to be regulated. This happens either by signalling pathways and also on the gene expression level (how much of the factor is available). So everything what regulates this factor is called upstream (look at the image below).
Everything which is regulated by our factor (other genes) is located downstream of it. I think these terms come from the flow diagrams which are pretty usual in this context.
Look at the figure (from SABiosciences)
Here the signal comes from the membrane and is mediated through different factors until its passed into the nucleus.

I found this tutorial here but I am unable to find such type of buttons in iPad. I am also unable to slow down videos in OS X. I am trying to watch this video here but it is too fast educational video. So how can I watch slowed-down videos?
That tutorial on slowing down YouTube videos was made in iOS 5 with the older YouTube app. You probably have iOS 6 and are using the YouTube website or the YouTube app released by Google more recently.
Both the web app and the YouTube app no longer play videos with the QuickTime player with those controls. The only thing that still uses that interface is the YouTube app on the iPhone. I suppose you can try experimenting with other third-party YouTube video viewers, one of those may use QuickTime for playback, but I don't have experience with them.
By the way, I don't know how useful that video will be even slowed down, and there are a lot of great Blender tutorials out there if you look.
EDIT: Actually, embedded YouTube videos will use that player, so you just have to embed the video on a web page and then browse to that page on the iPad.

XmlP (The JsonP for XML data)
Do you remember JsonP ?
Here I give you the XmlP …
Detail :
AjaxProxy cannot be used to retrieve data from other domains. If your application is running on http://domainA.com it cannot load data from http://domainB.com because browsers have a built-in security policy that prohibits domains talking to each other via AJAX.
If you need to read data from another domain and can't set up a proxy server (some software that runs on your own domain's web server and transparently forwards requests to http://domainB.com, making it look like they actually came from http://domainA.com), you can use Ext.data.proxy.XmlP and a technique known as Xml-P (Xml with Padding), which can help you get around the problem so long as the server on http://domainB.com is set up to support Xml-P responses. The XmlP is based on Default JsonP created by Ed Spencer. Just a little modification add for working with XML. See http://market.sencha.com/addon/xmlp for more details.

A Fine Romance
A reception amid gorgeous gardens, a stunning concert and dinner under the stars—sounds magical, right? It certainly was, and it's what 400-plus attendees enjoyed during the annual Romance of the Mission benefit gala. Champagne was sipped while VIPs strolled through the Mission San Juan Capistrano's grounds and admired opportunity drawing prizes like a vintage pendant from Barbara Parkers. They then took their seats among the ruins of the Great Stone Church for a piano-backed performance from Tony Award nominee Susan Egan—the original Belle in Disney's Broadway smash, Beauty and the Beast. And, oh, the elegance that ensued during the alfresco dinner. Jim and Rachel Everett, and honorary chairman Mike Hagan enjoyed a four-course meal at tables lit by candles and adorned with breathtaking floral centerpieces. The final touch: The evening netted $220,000 for the local landmark. Enchanted, indeed. Photography by Carla Rhea

You have to understand the meaning, because it has been around in my life for six wonderful months. The word, by definition means weed in Ireland, but it is oh so much more. It can mean something like, grass, or even toilet. But the most common and useful term is Allie. It is a magical word where only chosen one's can use. It has many different definitions, and "tag-along" letters like: shneebie, shneeblet, shneebomi, shneebalo, shneebaliyby, shneebilis, shneeb kong, etc. This word, this magical word will once be so much more than weed in Ireland to the world, it will be something that each and every human on Earth uses three or more times in a sentence, shneeb will be not just a word but a language. Shneeb will live on.

State playoff outlook
We're still about a week away from really digging into the state high school football postseason scene, but with teams having as many as five games to play entering Week 8, playing around with specific point totals at this early stage would be an exercise in futility.
That won't stop us from continuing to gauge the landscape of the four postseason divisions. Know this: No team can clinch a postseason berth by itself in Week 8. We don't expect bids to start being sewn up until Week 9 at the earliest, and even then we should have an awful lot up for grabs over Thanksgiving week.
Anyway, take a look at what we've got for you heading into Week 8. We'll let you know which teams are in the best positions, which teams are still alive and which games will be most impactful across the state this weekend.

Clive Goodman (pictured) covered the royal family for UK tabloid News of the World until 2007, when he was convicted of phone hacking and sent to prison. Now, a newly released letter from Goodman says that—surprise—everyone at the paper knew about phone hacking, which was routine.
The Parliamentary committee investigating the phone hacking scandal released a letter that Goodman sent to the paper in 2007 to protest his dismissal following his conviction. Among his arguments:
- His actions were carried out with the "full knowledge and support" of unnamed executives.
- Other staff members were "carrying out the same illegal procedures."
- The practice of phone hacking was "widely discussed in the daily editorial conference, until explicit reference to it was banned by the editor." That editor would be Andy Coulson, who went on to become the spokesman for David Cameron before being forced to step down due to this scandal.
- Goodman also says the paper's legal manager and editor told him that he could return to his job "if I did not implicate the paper or any of its staff in my mitigation plea." They set him up as a "lone rogue reporter" to take the fall, in other words, and then turned their backs on him.
