Ernst Zermelo's parents were Ferdinand Zermelo and Maria Augusta Elisabeth Ziegler. His father was a college professor so Zermelo was brought up in a family where academic pursuits were encouraged. His secondary school education was at the Luisenstädtisches Gymnasium in Berlin and he graduated from the gymnasium in 1889.
At this time it was the custom for students in Germany to study at a number of different universities and indeed that is precisely what Zermelo did. His studies were undertaken at three universities, namely Berlin, Halle and Freiburg, and the subjects he studied were quite wide ranging and included mathematics, physics and philosophy.
At these universities he attended courses by Frobenius, Lazarus Fuchs, Planck, Schmidt, Schwarz and Edmund Husserl. This was an impressive collection of inspiring lecturers and Zermelo began to undertake research in mathematics after completing his first degree. His doctorate was completed in 1894 when the University of Berlin awarded him the degree for a dissertation Untersuchungen zur Variationsrechnung Ⓣ which followed the Weierstrass approach to the calculus of variations. In this thesis he [1]:-
... extended Weierstrass's method for the extrema of integrals over a class of curves to the case of integrands depending on derivatives of arbitrarily high order, at the same time giving a careful definition of the notion of neighbourhood in the space of curves.After the award of his doctorate, Zermelo remained at the University of Berlin where he was appointed assistant to Planck who held the chair of theoretical physics there. At this stage Zermelo's work was turning more towards areas of applied mathematics and, under Planck's guidance, he began to work for his habilitation thesis studying hydrodynamics.
In 1897 Zermelo went to Göttingen, perhaps the leading centre for mathematical research in the world at that time, where he completed his habilitation, submitting his dissertation Hydrodynamische Untersuchungen über die Wirbelbewegungen in einer Kugelfläche Ⓣ in 1899. Immediately following the award of the degree he was appointed as a lecturer at Göttingen on the strength of his contributions to statistical mechanics as well as to the calculus of variations.
The direction of Zermelo's research was soon to take a major change. Cantor had put forward the continuum hypothesis in 1878, conjecturing that every infinite subset of the continuum is either countable (i.e. can be put in 1-1 correspondence with the natural numbers) or has the cardinality of the continuum (i.e. can be put in 1-1 correspondence with the real numbers). The importance of this was seen by Hilbert who made the continuum hypothesis the first in the list of problems which he proposed in his Paris lecture of 1900. Hilbert saw this as one of the most fundamental questions which mathematicians should attack in the 1900s and he went further in proposing a method to attack the conjecture. He suggested that first one should try to prove another of Cantor's conjectures, namely that any set can be well ordered.
Perhaps it would be helpful to give a definition of a well ordered set at this point. A set S is well ordered if it has a relation < defined on it which satisfies three properties:
(i) for any elements a, b in S either a = b, a < b or b < a.The set of natural numbers with the usual ordering is therefore a well ordered set but the set of integers is not well ordered with the usual ordering since the subset of negative integers has no least element.
(ii) for every a, b, c in S with a < b and b < c then a < c.
(iii) every non-empty subset of S has a least element.
(ii) for every a, b, c in S with a < b and b < c then a < c.
(iii) every non-empty subset of S has a least element.
Zermelo began to work on the problems of set theory, in particular taking up Hilbert's idea to head towards a resolution of the problem of the continuum hypothesis. In 1902 Zermelo published his first work on set theory which was on the addition of transfinite cardinals. Two years later, in 1904, he succeeded in taking the first step suggested by Hilbert towards the continuum hypothesis when he proved that every set can be well ordered. This result brought fame to Zermelo and also earned him a quick promotion for, in December 1905, he was appointed as professor in Göttingen.
The axiom of choice is the basis for Zermelo's proof that every set can be well ordered; in fact the axiom of choice is equivalent to the well ordering property so we now know that this axiom has to be used. His proof of the well ordering property used the axiom of choice to construct sets by transfinite induction. Although Zermelo certainly gained fame for his proof of the well ordering property, set theory at this time was in the rather unusual position that many mathematicians rejected the type of proofs that Zermelo had discovered. There were strong feelings as to whether such non-constructive parts of mathematics were legitimate areas for study and Zermelo's ideas were certainly not accepted by quite a number of mathematicians [1]:-
The proof stirred the mathematical world and produced a great deal of criticism - most of it unjustified - which Zermelo answered elegantly in Neuer Beweis Ⓣ...As this quote indicates, Zermelo's reaction to these criticisms was to try to prove the well ordering property with a proof that would find more widespread acceptance, and this he succeeded in doing in the paper Neuer Beweis Ⓣ which he published in 1908. It was a paper which he specifically directed at critics of his work. On the one hand he emphasised the formal character of his new proof of the well ordering and on the other hand he argued that his critics, and other mathematicians, also used the axiom of choice when dealing with infinite sets.
Zermelo made other fundamental contributions to axiomatic set theory which were partly a consequence of the criticism of his first major contribution to the subject and partly because set theory began to become an important research topic at Göttingen. The set theory paradoxes first appeared around 1903 with the publication of Russell's paradox. Zermelo had in fact discovered a similar set paradox himself but did not publish the result. Rather it prompted him to make the first attempt to axiomatise set theory and he began this task in 1905. Having produced an axiom system he wanted to prove that his axioms were consistent before publishing the work, but he failed to achieve this.
In 1908 Zermelo published his axiomatic system despite his failure to prove consistency. He gave seven axioms : Axiom of extensionality, Axiom of elementary sets, Axiom of separation, Power set axiom, Union axiom, Axiom of choice and Axiom of infinity.
Zermelo usually stated his axioms and theorems in words rather than symbols. In fact he did not often use the formal language for quantifiers such as ∃ or ∀ and binding variables that were then being used, instead, he used ordinary expressions such as "there exists" or "for all".
It is worth commenting that Skolem and Fraenkel independently improved Zermelo's axiom system in around 1922. The resulting system, with ten axioms, is now the most commonly used one for axiomatic set theory. It enables the contradictions of set theory to be eliminated yet the results of classical set theory excluding the paradoxes can be derived.
In 1910 Zermelo left Göttingen when he was appointed to the chair of mathematics at the Zürich University. His health was poor but his position was helped by the award of a prize of 5000 marks for his major contributions to set theory. The prize was awarded on the initiative of Hilbert and certainly it was an attempt to enable Zermelo rest and so to regain his health.
When his health had not improved by 1916 Zermelo resigned his chair in Zürich and moved to the Black Forest in Germany where he lived for ten years. He was appointed to an honorary chair at Freiburg im Breisgau in 1926 but he renounced his chair in 1935 because of his disapproval of Hitler's regime. At the end of the World War II Zermelo requested that he be reinstated to his honorary position in Freiburg and indeed he was reinstated to the post in 1946.

I think you guys are all hard-core travelers. We go camping so seldom, when we do our big pooches share a tent with us. Though we were very careful to choose a tent with a separate entry that was bigger so there is room for everyone. Those dogs in those tents were quite big.

I pawsonally love, Love, LOVE camping in a tent! Mom, not so much. She be wanting fresh brewed coffee in the mornings, an electric plugger inner thingie fur her blow dryer, hot and cold waters, private baf, air condishunning... La di da. So we stay in cabins wot has all the amenities when we goes on hiking trips. Just gib me a tent and I be a happy camper!

I've stayed in a tent before! It was fun and I liked it a lot. It was kinda like my condo at home - only a lot bigger and with mom and dad and Brudder Ranger in it. What I DIDN'T like, though, were all these teeny little bugs that kept trying to eat me for lunch whenever we were outside of the tent. Mom and dad felt sorry for me so we left early. Now, they're thinking abouts getting a little house with wheels just for me. Cuz they luv me and stuff.

The Best Sports Movies Ever Made
List Rules Movies about sports teams or athletes
Here is the ultimate list of the best sports movies ever made. Most guys, even some girls can't resist a tale about mostly make believe athletes. Sports may be the overarching theme in these movies, but that doesn't mean that there's anything deeper beneath the surface. These movies allow us guys to connect with our inner emotions through hidden love stories, tales of adversity, humor and ultimately the triumph of the human spirit.
At the heart of the best sports movies is relationships between the characters. Some of the best sports films like Rocky, Raging Bull and the Blind Side have either been nominated and/or won multiple Academy Awards. Others like Brian's Song, Hoosiers and Field of Dreams often times will cause viewers to feel triumphant with the characters, if they don't shed a tear as well.
But people can't resist an amazingly funny sports film. You can point to classics like Major League, Caddyshack, Bad News Bears and White Men Can't Jump as the best sports comedies.
Anyone can contribute to this list of the best sports movies, which makes this ranking an accurate, real-time reflection of the crowd's collective opinion. Rank your favorites or add whatever sports movie you see missing.

ForumsQuestionsHow to handle start date in iCal?
How to handle start date in iCal?
Posted: Aug 26, 2008
First of all, congratulations to the whole Toodledo team for its amazing work. This app is very well designed, properly developped and, so far, so stable.
I have been using Toodledo for a couple of weeks and have it "synced" with iCal (running on OS X.5.4).
Here is my concern: a Toodledo task marked with both a start and a due date is dated in iCal on the due date only while I would have expected it on the start date or, at least, lasting on the whole period (from the start until the end). And here, the big risk is to miss the launch of the task.
I have been testing some workarounds such as removing the due date but, in such a configuration, the Toodledo task is no longer maintained in iCal as an event but as task (without any kind of date stamp).
May be some of you could have a good advice.
Toodledo Founder
It is this way for historical reasons. "Start date" is a fairly recent addition to Toodledo. Before this, we only had "due-date", "due-time" and "length", so iCal will use the due-time and the length parameters to place the task on the calendar at the appropriate place.
What we should really do is add a new field called "start time" to give is the full capability to specify the exact start and end of a task and then use these fields to accurately place the tasks on a calendar. This is something that we will improve in the future.
Posted: Aug 27, 2008
Thank you for this quick answer. Looking forward to getting this enhancement which would be a plus for iCal users.

Red velvet pancakes will be among the more than 500 items served at the new $17 million Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Gamblers, start your appetites.
Las Vegas — already famous for some of the most lavish, eye-popping and belt-busting buffets out there — is home to a new all-you-can-eat extravaganza on The Strip.
The $17 million Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace opens its doors Monday, with organizers promising guests "an over-the-top feast" that features nine kitchens and chefs cooking up more than 500 dishes — many prepared as guests watch.
You'd have to go through a pile of plates to try just a fraction of the offerings: prime rib, king crab, dim sum, wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas, lasagna, sushi, enchiladas and roasted South Carolina shrimp and grits.
Craving something sweet? Try a chocolate soufflé baked to order, scoops of gelato or crème brûlée from the massive dessert station.
Breakfast may leave you breathless, too: made-to-order omelets and crêpes, breakfast pizzas and red velvet pancakes.
"We are offering the most items out of any buffet in Las Vegas," said executive chef Scott Green, noting that the initial menu had close to 750 items, which he narrowed down to focus on the best selections.
"Personally, I believe this is the perfect size, the perfect outcome of what a buffet should be," he said.

How many would you like? Soufflé Bacchanal will be among the buffet offerings.
Sabin Orr / Courtesy Caesars Entertainment
Still hungry? Visitors can also sample Meatballs Bacchanal.
The new arrival is drawing attention in Las Vegas because there hasn't been a big buffet opening in Sin City since the Wicked Spoon debuted at The Cosmopolitan several years ago, insiders noted.
"There's a buzz about this one," said Anthony Curtis, publisher of LasVegasAdvisor.com.
"It's been pretty quiet in Vegas for the past few years due to the economy," he said, "so this is something that we haven't seen in a while and I would say that the anticipation is pretty high."
At $39.99 per person for dinner, the Bacchanal is joining Vegas' high-end buffets, where patrons expect the freshest ingredients, smart preparations and the opportunity to sample an array of dishes they might see in a high-end restaurant, Curtis said.
It will also face lots of competition.
Caesars is taking the Vegas buffet to the next level by elevating the quality of the menu and the level of service, Green said. The eatery will employ almost 180 people, including cooks trained to interact with diners, he said.
But Curtis noted there's nothing groundbreaking about the Bacchanal's concept since high-end Las Vegas buffets already offer an incredible amount of good food, with chefs at cooking stations and multiple cuisines under one roof.
So while the Bacchanal will be a big draw for visitors, it remains to be seen whether it can out-dazzle or overshadow some of the city's other gourmet buffets, such as the popular spreads at the Wynn and the Bellagio, Curtis said.
"It's going to be hard to top them … (but) obviously, it sounds really awesome," he said.
Back at the Bacchanal, organizers aren't only bragging about the food but also about the decor. The 25,000 square-foot buffet – almost half the size of a football field – can accommodate 600 guests in sections that feature glass, wood and steel and offer views of the Garden of the Gods pool complex at Caesars Palace.
You won't see any togas or other Roman touches that many visitors associate with the resort because the emphasis is on a modern look, Green said.
As gargantuan as the new eatery is, Curtis isn't ready to bet on the end of the buffet race in Sin City.
"If anything is going to survive in Las Vegas, it's the buffet tradition," Curtis said. "The scope of that seems to be sort of limitless. One opens and another one tops it."
Bon appetit.

Restaurant bullied by anti-Prop. 8 mob offers up payment
This story keeps getting more pathetic.
Diana West first alerted me to the plight of the El Coyote Mexican Cafe, whose manager donated $100 to the Prop. 8 campaign. A mob of gay marriage activists browbeat her into tears and guilt over the contribution. They threatened the restaurant with boycotts and protests.
And now, the restaurant's employees have coughed up a peace offering. A bribe. A form of jizya. Whatever you want to call it, it's sad:
Employees of the Los Angeles restaurant that came under fire this week after a manager gave $100 to the campaign to ban same-sex marriage in California said they had made a $500 contribution to the advocacy group that is raising money to challenge Proposition 8.
The Thursday online donation to Equality California, an advocacy group for the gay and lesbian community, came at precisely 7:22:03 p.m., about 22 minutes into a planned demonstration outside the restaurant's doors for the second night in a row.
"It will go toward our work, and our work includes working to overturn Proposition 8," said Ali Bay, a spokeswoman for Equality California. "We're working legislatively and through the courts to promote equality for the [lesbian and gay] community."
Over the last week, online social networking sites and blogs have urged people to boycott El Coyote Mexican Cafe on Beverly Boulevard because of the $100 donation by Marjorie Christoffersen, a manager at the restaurant and a daughter of El Coyote's owner.
Christoffersen, a Mormon, met with protesters Wednesday, and at one point broke down in tears. But some activists said they still faulted her for making the donation.
According to another manager, Arnoldo Archila, El Coyote employees pooled their money to make the donation — though it wasn't clear who actually contributed. He said Christoffersen was not involved in the decision.
"Maybe it's a way to say sorry, that we have always tried to be a charity place, that we donate to a lot of places," Archila said. "It's something to show that we can help also."
Manager Larry Crenshaw gave $50 to "try to smooth things over" and counter the boycott. He said the protests had started to affect employees.
One server called in Thursday worried about going into work. Thursday night crowds grew to about 200 people, and customers leaving the restaurant were called vulgarities, Crenshaw said.
Diners at one table had to be compensated for their $50 tab because their night had been ruined, and patrons celebrating a birthday at an outdoor table had to endure protesters late into the evening, he said.

Fourth International Workshop on
In conjunction with the 19th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference
|Trento, Italy, EUROPE
|Tuesday, 30th August 2011
Workshop Overview
"Governance In Motion"
The objective of the workshop is to foster the discussion related to requirements engineering triggered by any legal regulation or law. For the enrichment of information systems with requirements derived from the regulations needed, a formalization of said is necessary and is resolved by interpretation, focused discussion, negotiation and reconciliation on the part of professionals with diverse viewpoints: business managers, engineers, lawyers and regulators. This means an active and continuous process: "Governance in Motion".
Today's rapidly changing environment which is accompanied by remarkable technology innovation and presupposes easy and quick access to information, new communication models, and increasing dependence on collaboration and cooperation motivates the discussion further on. Additionally this environment presents new challenges in trustworthy computing, regulatory compliance, and highly flexible business processes with traceability and accountability that require new and enhanced concepts, frameworks and tools for business and software engineering. The single organization will need to actively steer and determine its organizational structures and processes on a permanent basis to ensure the attainment of it's strategy and targets. Compliance to legal regulations is part of the organization's governance and requirements incorporated in law need to be addressed in business and information technology (IT).
The fourth RELAW workshop is a multi-disciplinary, one-day workshop that brings together practitioners and researchers from two domains: Requirements Engineering and Law. Participants from government, industry and academic sectors investigate challenges to ensure that information systems comply with policies and laws. The workshop will probe important issues, including the processes for identifying relevant policies, laws and jurisdictions, aligning laws with system requirements, managing requirements and changes in the law and demonstrating how systems comply with relevant laws through evidence-based mechanisms such as documentation, testing and certification. For the first time since the workshop's inception, RELAW will include a separate track from the requirements engineering research and industry papers to include submissions from law scholars to address emerging IT challenges in today's regulatory environment.
Attendance, Format and Outcomes
The workshop will bring together practitioners and researchers from auditing, accounting, law, software and requirements engineering. This workshop is open to the public. The workshop format will consist of presentations of papers and breakout sessions. The goals of this workshop include, but are not limited to:

Incumbent Joseph Kabila claimed victory in a November presidential election marred by widespread voting irregularities and a spike in attacks on news outlets. While international observers questioned the results, Kabila forces launched a crackdown on dissent. Attacks on the press were concentrated in the capital, Kinshasa, and surrounding Bas Congo province. Supporters of incumbent President Joseph Kabila's PPRD party and his administration intimidated journalists favorable to chief rival Etienne Tshisekedi; pro-opposition media were targeted in a series of arson attacks. In August, Kabila consolidated his grip on the media by appointing members of a new regulatory board charged with enforcing press laws and meting out penalties. Journalists criticized Kabila for stacking the 15-member agency with government allies, according to news reports. Across the vast nation, powerful local officials and their security forces carried out attacks on the press with impunity in reprisal for critical coverage. And in the country's strife-torn, mineral-rich east, a journalist was murdered amid murky circumstances.
CPJ documented numerous instances of official censorship, assault, intimidation, detention, imprisonment, and legal harassment targeting journalists in Bas Congo province, home of the capital.
Many of the anti-press attacks in Bas Congo were physical assaults, CPJ research shows. The police and ruling party supporters carried out most of the violence.
At least two news media workers went missing, according to CPJ research. In neither case have police uncovered information about the individuals' whereabouts.
Media workers who vanished:
1998: Belmonde Magloire Missinhoun, a Benin national and owner of the independent financial newspaper La Pointe Congo, was last seen being arrested after a traffic accident with a military vehicle in Kinshasa.
A number of government officials were accused of attacking or threatening journalists, but the Kabila administration did not hold any of them accountable, CPJ research shows.
Four attacks, no accountability:
2006: Republican Guard soldiers assaulted a journalist.
2007: The education minister was accused of ordering police to beat journalists who were in his office for an interview.
2008: Ruling party militants assaulted five cameramen.
2011: A ruling party member of parliament was taped threatening a journalist.
CPJ has documented eight journalist deaths between 2005 and 2011. One murder was in direct retaliation for the journalist's work; CPJ is investigating the other cases to determine whether they were work-related. There was one common thread: In all of the cases, the killers wore uniforms of the security forces. CPJ research found that official investigations fell short in the collection and handling of forensic evidence, in transparency and scope, and in their failure to determine motives.
Killings by uniformed assailants:
November 3, 2005: Franck Kangundu in Kinshasa. Motive unconfirmed.
July 8, 2006: Bapuwa Mwamba in Kinshasa. Motive unconfirmed.
June 13, 2007: Serge Maheshe in Bukavu. Motive confirmed as work-related.
August 9, 2007: Patrick Kikuku Wilungula in Goma. Motive unconfirmed.
November 21, 2008: Didace Namujimbo in Bukavu. Motive unconfirmed.
August 23, 2009: Bruno Koko Chirambiza in Bukavu. Motive unconfirmed.
April 5, 2010: Patient Chebeya in Beni. Motive unconfirmed.
June 22, 2011: Witness-Patchelly Kambale Musonia in Kirumba. Motive unconfirmed.

"Every time I open my mouth, I try to give as much advice as possible," he explains. "If my children are unclear of something, I take the time to explain it to them."
It was father-son bonding at its best.
R&B star Usher tells PEOPLE that he spent Memorial Day having an impromptu water fight with his sons, Usher V, 4½, and Naviyd Ely, 3½.
"We used bottles of water and got totally soaked," he recalls. "Naviyd won. It was a hot day, and it just happened. I love fun times like that."
The lighthearted outing was a welcome diversion for Usher, 33, who was in court recently due to a custody fight with ex-wife, Tameka Foster.
But instead of dwelling on the negative, Usher says that he tries to balance the fun times with serious talks with his sons.
And sometimes, he says, he has to lay down the law despite his boys' craftiness. "I took them to my mother's house; she lives about two minutes away from me," he recalls.
"Naviyd is addicted to peppermint, but he had already had dinner and dessert. So I told him he couldn't have any candy, and he walked off. A couple of minutes later, when he thought I couldn't hear, he was asking my mother if he could open a peppermint candy. He was trying to manipulate the situation." (Usher says he had "a good laugh" at Naviyd's efforts, but ultimately denied him the candy.)
Professionally, Usher is gearing up for the release of his new album, Looking 4 Myself, which hits stores Tuesday. He promises it's his most personal album yet.
"I do talk about my relationships," he says. "I talk about my shortcomings, my transitions and my tumultuous story. This album is about my evolution. I like talking about what I feel."
And when he's home, he likes playing with his sons. "The last game we played was 'it.' You know, like tag," he says. "The boys love to run around and play games with me; I'm a kid at heart."

Team Reports
New York: The Knicks concluded a long six-game homestand with a win over the Wolves on Sunday night. New York improved to 20-7 and 12-2 at MSG while sitting a half game behind the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference prior to the Christmas Day games on Tuesday. Amare Stoudemire practiced last week in New York and even participated in scrimmage sessions with the D-League affiliate but he is not quite ready for game action. Rasheed Wallace is dealing with a foot injury and is out for the contest against the Lakers and Marcus Camby is listed as probable for the Christmas matchup in Los Angeles. The Knicks begin a three-game west coast road trip starting in LA on Tuesday, followed by games against the Suns and Kings this week.
Los Angeles Lakers: The 2012-13 season has certainly not gone according to plan for the Lakers. With a banner offseason, Los Angeles expected to run through the regular season and knock off the Thunder as the top contenders in the Western Conference. Dwight Howard continues to regain full health, Steve Nash has missed the majority of the season, and the team underwent a massive change when Mike Brown was fired after five games. Since the Knicks ran all over the Lakers on December 13, the squad has won four straight games and welcomed back the orchestrator of Mike DAntonis famous fast pace offense. Nash returned to the lineup in the win over Golden State on Saturday night to help Los Angeles improve to 13-14 on the season. Pau Gasol also jumped back on the floor for Los Angeles last Tuesday and aside from Steve Blake, the team is back to full strength heading into the rematch against New York on Christmas Day.
Last Time Out
New York: Carmelo Anthony scored 19 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter to push the Knicks over the Wolves 94-91 on Sunday night.
Los Angeles Lakers: Kobe Bryant scored 34 points and Nash dished out nine assists in his first game back to lead the Lakers to a 118-115 overtime victory over the Warriors.
The Numbers Game
The Knicks forced the Lakers to commit 13 turnovers and they only registered 13 assists as a team in the first contest in New York. In Los Angeles win over Golden State, the team posted 33 assists.
Match-up to Watch
Raymond Felton vs. Steve Nash
It might be a crude metaphor for Christmas Day but the Knicks will need to cut the head off the snake in order to take down the Lakers for the second time this season. One glaring difference between the first matchup is the presence of Nash on the floor on Tuesday afternoon. Nash is the head of the snake with his ability to drive Los Angeles offense and DAntoni has made it clear that he is essential to its success. Surprisingly, Nash logged 41 minutes of floor time on Saturday night in Golden State. He hit a clutch bucket in the late stages and as mentioned above, he recorded nine dimes. Raymond Felton will draw the defensive assignment but his best defense might be his offensive attack. The Knicks point guard can wear down the 38-year old by constantly working the pick-and-roll and forcing his way to the rim.
What to Look For
Anthony absolutely demolished the Lakers on December 13 before falling to the ground and eventually leaving the game with an ankle injury. In just 23 minutes, Anthony dropped 30 minutes, hit 10-of-15 shots from the floor, and 3-of-5 behind the arc. At the power forward spot, it will be interesting to see how the Lakers adjust in this rematch to defend the All-Star. This game will have a drastically different feel considering Nash and Gasol are back in Los Angeles lineup and the Lakers are 8-6 at home. Two key stats to watch is team rebounding (LA ranks No. 1) and if the Knicks can hold Los Angeles below the century mark as they average 102.6 points per game, good for fifth in the NBA.
Sorry it's sh*t. Ponder pulled out last minute. "L" is for LAME!

Mr. Speaker, the town of Richmond Hill celebrated the 35th anniversary of its winter carnival last weekend.
The Richmond Hill Winter Carnival comes about as a result of a strong community effort. The event is organized and planned by a group of eager and tireless volunteers. The carnival is funded through button and food revenues and through financial support from local and area businesses.
The mandate of the carnival is to organize a community party with events that appeal to families and residents of all ages, from youngsters to grandparents alike.
There were a variety of events for everyone to enjoy. These events included an amateur band, snowboarding, ookpik mini-putt, and horse driven sleigh rides to name a few.
The town of Richmond Hill is to be commended for this very successful event. It is recognized that it would have been entirely unable to achieve these objectives without the generous support of community businesses, volunteer organizations, town departments and individuals.
A special applause goes out to the youngsters who came out to help all weekend. These kids helped with everything from running messages to face painting. They are the community builders of tomorrow.
The town of Richmond Hill looks forward to another smashing success next year.

Lindon Farms™ uses a combination of freeze-dried and dehydrated ingredients. In some cases freeze-dried is ideal, and for other items dehydration is most appropriate. For example, a freeze-dried strawberry is convenient since rehydration is unnecessary and it can be consumed easily in cereal or as a snack. Another example would be freeze-dried lasagna with meat where it is frozen, dried and packaged for easy rehydration. In soups and other mixes where the ingredients will be reydrated in warm or boiling water, dehydrated ingredients are best. When space is a concern dehydrated ingredients can take up less than a 1/3 of the space that freeze-dried ingredients do.
The most important factors in long-term shelf life foods are:
*This information is relatively conservative and meant to be used as a guideline, but is in no way a guarantee. *Moisture Free – dehydrated and freeze-dried ingredients can reach 97%+ moisture free status. Lindon Farms™ is a trademark of The Ready Project®, LLC. All rights reserved.

News and Events: Genealogy and Family History Conferences-October
This is an ongoing post with updates listing upcoming genealogy conferences. It is far from complete since only some of the possible conferences are listed, but it does give an idea that there is a lot going on in the genealogical community.
This is another periodic post. It is useful to know that new collections are going online at FamilySearch.org every week so that people can go back frequently to see if anything they might be interested in has appeared.
It is interesting to see that apparently my questioning of the rank of Family History as one of the world's most popular hobbies is getting some milage. Here is the introduction from Steve Anderson's post:
Family history/genealogy appears to be a very popular hobby, not just in America but throughout much of the world. There is much debate as to where it ranks in the list of most popular hobbies, but there is no doubt that family history is hugely popular and becoming even more so each year.
October has been officially listed as Family History Month within the US. It is a time to remember our roots and celebrate our unique histories and identities. It also happens to be the month that we celebrate several specific heritage days (German-American month, Italian Heritage month, Polish American Heritage month, etc.)He has some really good ideas for getting more involved in family history.
Printing a Fan ChartThis is an excellent explanation of how to print a fan chart from FamilySearch.org's Family Tree. This is a new function and a little bit tricky until you see the little print icon and realize what it is supposed to do.
Family History Company Facebook Likeometer
Nathan Murphy has a really novel way of looking at the comparative popularity of various genealogy web sites. I am not really sure what this indicates but it is a novel approach and probably at least as valid and any other way of measuring.
Periodic means irregularly periodic in this case. It is a given that new records go up all the time, not every day, but in batches during the week. Good news for those who are doing research in any of the areas that happen to go online.
This is a good post showing some examples of the uses of photos and stories uploaded to FamilySearch.org's Photos and Stories website. Worth looking at for good ideas.
This needs to be explained so that new users understand the reasons for signing into this free website. As the post indicates:
In order to access Family Tree or the Photos option from the FamilySearch home page, you need to sign in to FamilySearch. If you have an existing FamilySearch account, you can sign in using your username and password. If you do not have an existing account, you can easily create one by clicking the Sign In option from the FamilySearch home page, and then clickCreate an Account. Once you complete the registration, you will have an account you can use to sign in to FamilySearch.Well that wraps up another week of FamilySearch posts.

TiVo spits out monster 6-way Pace box for US eyes only
Probably commissioned by mega US cable corp
The fact that the very first product out of the relationship between TiVo and Pace is a six-tuner device means automatically that it's for use in the US – nowhere else has that kind of requirement yet.
But in the US six tuners is becoming a requirement, and the TiVo Premiere being delivered at cable TV giant RCN already has four tuners. It may be a coincidence that semiconductor fab MaxLinear this week has come out with a chip that has six or eight tuners onboard, but it may also be a clue to the supplier of this component.
The new device is the Pace XG1 multi-tuner video gateway, and because it offers DOCSIS 3.0 it means this device has almost certainly been commissioned by one of the larger US cable operators. It comes with the TiVo whole home solution and that is the basis of a whole separate announcement – effectively what it is doing is offering a smaller TiVo device for each TV in the home, and running this monster in the middle.
We suspect that communication is through the DLNA blessed DTCP-IP streaming protection which converts from a conditional access stream to DTCP-IP for inside the home. The new box comes with 500GB of storage, and offers multi-room streaming over MoCA connections and speaks directly to TiVo mobile and tablet apps.
It could be that this relationship with Pace then is far more important than we had realised and that there will be no TiVo home gateway, which would have eaten up tons of its R&D, and instead any TiVo cable business which needs to offer a home gateway will now go to Pace.
Tom Rogers, president and CEO, said: "Consumers not only want an enjoyable TV experience, but now demand choice and the flexibility to watch content on multiple devices and screens within the home. TiVo has worked with our operator customers to create a suite of affordable companion devices that deliver a cohesive experience regardless of the screen the customer wants to use."
US cable operators currently deploying TiVo include Charter, RCN, Suddenlink and Grande Communications. In Europe, they include Virgin Media in the UK and ONO in Spain. Separately, TiVo announced its IP set-top box, which is designed not to supply to IP Multicast services, but to take and resolve the DTCP-IP streams on secondary TVs throughout the home.
TiVo Stream
It also introduced TiVo Stream to provide transcoding to enable content viewing on mobile devices throughout the home. The TiVo Stream is like the Motorola Televation; it simply offloads the transcoding and relationship with the home gateway in order to stream over Wi-Fi to a separate device. It will be a fairly simple devices inside we suspect.
But like everyone else, TiVo must have started implementing the same DTCP-IP streaming over Wi-Fi here too and it must be in software, because Apple would never give away details of its A5 chip security. TiVo says that it is so secure it can provide a DVR stream on an iOS device now, and on Android later, and the content can also be stored on that device for viewing outside the home – another capability that is becoming more common.
The Tivo Stream requires you to already have a Tivo Premiere Q box, a home gateway version of the Premiere, and TiVo service at $15 a month, or you can buy the Stream box for a one-off fee of $500.
Both products – the IP set-top and TiVo Stream – are ready for operator distribution, and include automated provisioning and activation. But TiVo also plans to offer both products through retail as well as through cable operators.
This set of announcements make TiVo even more of a hot property in investor terms, and yet on Friday its value was stuck at $8.95 and a market capitalisation of just $1bn, despite holding cash of $620m, giving it an enterprise valuation of just $380m.

Roman-style Artichokes
I used to live in fear of cleaning artichokes. It seemed like the most daunting task in the kitchen. I think I'm finally getting used to it somewhat. I've learned to work quickly, have lots of lemons at the ready, and focus on how delicious the finished dish will be. Having a bowl of acidulated water ready for the trimmed artichokes is key, and having a cut lemon to rub on each artichoke while you're trimming it is helpful too. I pulled off the loose outer leaves, cut off the top, trimmed the stem and peeled it, cut them in half, and spooned out the choke before dunking them in the lemon water. A plate is useful to keep the cleaned artichokes submerged in the water. From that point on, this dish couldn't be easier. The halved artichokes were placed cut side up in a Dutch oven and topped with white wine, olive oil, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, salt, and herbs. I used parsley, oregano, and basil from my garden and skipped the mint since I didn't have any. The liquid was brought to a boil on top of the stove and then the dish was transferred, covered, to a 350 degree F oven to continue cooking for about 45 minutes. The eggs were simply hard-boiled, peeled, halved and arugula pesto was spooned on each with a few toasted pine nuts.
The artichokes were completely tender and flavorful from the wine, olive oil, and garlic. With the eggs with pesto, some crunchy, toasted bread, and a glass of wine, it made an almost perfect, light meal. The only thing missing was a view of the rolling, Italian countryside. Some day.

I love your pictures and recipes, they are mouth watering. Would love for you to share them with us at foodieportal.com. Over at foodieportal.com we are not photography expert snobs, we are just foodies.ReplyDelete
Great dish! I love artichokes and am so happy they're in season at the moment. Definitely should give this a try. I'd love to spend several months living in Italy, and cooking. Our fantasy is slow travel - spend months in a place living there, then moving on to another location and doing the same, and so on. Anyway, really super recipe - thanks.ReplyDelete
That whole dish - the artichokes and the eggs - is so enticing. I am so looking forward to artichoke season.ReplyDelete
What a great repast for a warm evening. I can just envision myself with a nice chilled glass of white wine, kicking back with a plate full of these wonderful noshes.ReplyDelete
There's no question.... cleaning artichokes is NOT fun. But the results make it worth the effort. This is a marvelous dish, Lisa. I love the combination. Agree we could kick back, enjoy wine and the artichokes, imagining ourselves in Italy. Sheer heaven.ReplyDelete
I am very afraid of artichokes... Phil is the one who handles them, but we never made anything "fancy", just the usual steaming and a little lemon juice to dip the leavesReplyDelete
I will show this post to my beloved... who knows, he might be brave enough to go for it!
Wow, local artichokes? I'll have to go looking for those. This dish looks terrific- gorgeous composition. BTW, when you find your perfect farmhouse in Tuscany, I'd like to stop in for a visit :-)ReplyDelete
Yummy! The first time I handled artichokes from scratch, it was so daunting and took so much time. But very well worth it :)ReplyDelete
These look fantastic Lisa! I'm right there with you on the cleaning of artichokes. It does get easier...with practice. ;)ReplyDelete
That looks AMAZING! I love artichokes but I only eat them the one way- steamed with butter dipping sauce :P I'm gonna give these a go :)ReplyDelete

Sixteen days into the latest public-comment period on the state's proposed...
Sixteen days into the latest public-comment period on the state's proposed hydrofracking regulations, the state Department of Environmental Conservation has received a total of 837 comments.
That total includes 390 submitted online and 447 sent via mail, according to DEC spokeswoman Emily DeSantis.
The DEC unveiled its latest set of proposed high-volume hydrofracking regulations in late November as part of a regulatory maneuver to buy another 90 days to finalize them. As part of that, it had to reopen them to public comment for 30 days, which began Dec. 12.
The comment period runs through Jan. 11.
The amount of comments seems to be lagging behind the last comment period, which began in September 2011. But that period, which ended in January, closed with tens of thousands of comments in the final days that were submitted by environmental and landowners groups that had been collecting them.
UPDATE: New Yorkers Against Fracking, a coalition of anti-fracking groups, claims to have collected 40,000 comments that will be submitted at the end of the current comment period.
"Despite the holiday season and DEC's backwards process of releasing revised regulations before the state's own health review was completed, opponents of fracking in New York have been mobilizing New Yorkers to provide thoughtful comments that will be submitted to the DEC at the end of the comment period," John Armstrong of Frack Action said in a statement.
Meanwhile, a group of elected officials opposed to hydrofracking penned a letter to Gov. Andrew Cuomo and DEC Commissioner Joe Martens, calling on them to extend the latest comment period to a total of 90 days. Their rationale? Many governing bodies on the local level don't meet before Jan. 11, making it difficult for them to approve comments for submission.
Extending the comment period to 90 days, however, would push the DEC past its Feb. 27 deadline for finalizing the regulations, which would mean the regulatory process would have to restart.
The letter, dated Dec. 21, was released by the group -- Elected Officials to Protect New York -- earlier today.

One of the few remaining marriages that originated on The Bachelorette is the lovely pairing of J.P. Rosenbaum and Ashley Hebert, my favorite Bachelorette then, now and forever. After getting married (on television) in 2012, the two have announced that Ashley is expecting (via InTouch).
ASHLEY. I AM OBSESSED WITH YOU. Can I throw your baby shower? Or at least watch it from a tree outside, very quietly?

We know that if $V=L$ holds, then $|\cal{P}(\omega)|=|\cal{P}(\omega)\cap \textrm{L}|=\aleph_1$ whereas, in the presence of a measurable cardinal (in fact, even Ramsey) $|\cal{P}(\omega)\cap \textrm{L}|=\aleph_0$. I remark that the cardinalities are of course computed in (the corresponding) $V$.
The first is just the fact that the constructible universe satisfies CH, while the second has to do with the fact that in the presence of a measurable, $\omega_1^{L}<\omega_1$ i.e. the existence of large cardinals makes the relative $\omega_1^{L}$ "drop" below its "maximum possible" value (which is attained, if you want, in the "extreme case" when $V=L$).
My question is, what can we say, in general, about the beaviour of $\omega_1^{L}$ given axioms of increasing strength above (or equal to, in strength) $V\neq L$? In particular, what happens if we just assume $V\neq L$?

Connecticut Vital Records
This entry was originally written by Alice Eichholz, Ph.D., CG, in Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Marriages were recorded in Connecticut as early as 1640. By 1650, registration of births, marriages, and deaths had become the town clerk's responsibility. Since a fine was assessed for not recording an event, some industrious town clerks have excellent, fairly complete records; however, others do not. Following the Revolution to the mid-nineteenth century, the recording is not as thorough, but by 1870, when the State Board of Health was established, recording in all towns improved.
Recording of vital events has always been the town clerk's responsibility. After 1 July 1897, copies of vital records from every town were sent to the Department of Public Health, Vital Records Section, 410 Capitol Ave., First Floor, P.O. Box 340308, Hartford, CT 06134-0308.
There is no statewide index to Connecticut vital records between about 1850 and 1897. It is therefore necessary to know the town in which the event occurred to locate a record for those years. Census records and city directories may be helpful in determining the town. Original Connecticut vital records from the beginning of each town to about 1900 have been microfilmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah and are available for use at the Connecticut State Library or through local Family History Centers.
Although some statewide indexes to vital records after 1897 are available through the Vital Records Section, many of the state's copies of vital records from 1897 to the present are closed for an indefinite period as part of a microfilming and indexing project. Until the section reopens, information will need to be obtained from the town. Subscription Internet database www.ancestry.com includes statewide Connecticut Death Index, 1949-2001, Early Connecticut Marriages (1651-1800) and Connecticut Marriage Index, 1959-2001 and finally Connecticut Marriages to 1800 which was taken from Frederic W. Bailey's Early Connecticut Marriages as Found on Ancient Church Records prior to 1800.
'An Act Concerning Access to Genealogical Records and the Validation of Certain Marriages' (Public Act No. 96-258) provides that birth records less than one hundred years old are only open to certain parties, including the individual in question, her/his guardian or legal representative, or a member of a genealogical society incorporated or authorized to do business or conduct affairs in Connecticut. A list of genealogical societies encompassed by this law can be found at www.cslib.org/genesoc.htm.
The Lucius Barnes Barbour Collection, well known to the Connecticut researcher, serves as an index to and an abstract of most pre-1850 Connecticut vital records. It is housed in the Connecticut State Library, but microfilm copies of it are widely available. Begun after establishment of the State Department of Health, Barbour's project was to abstract and collect all town vital records up to about 1850. There are two formats to the material. The first is a statewide paper slip alphabetical index containing a complete abstract of each vital record taken from the books in each town. The card file holding this index takes up an entire wall at the Connecticut State Library. The second format is the group of separately bound volumes of abstracts of vital records for most towns, prepared from the slips. There are three Barbour Collection databases at Ancestry.com called Connecticut Town Records, pre-1870 (Barbour Collection). Subscribers can access them at Birth Records, Marriage Records, and Death Records.
Since not all vital events were recorded in the town office before mandatory recording, church and cemetery records need to be consulted as well as other genealogical alternatives to official records.
FamilySearch.org has a variety of collections available for free online:
- Connecticut, Births and Christenings, 1649-1906
- Connecticut, Marriages, 1630-1997
- Connecticut, Marriage Index, 1959-2001
- Connecticut, Divorce Index, 1968-1997
- Connecticut, Deaths and Burials, 1772-1934
- Connecticut, Death Index, 1949-2001
Divorces are presently granted by the superior court, although this was not always the case. Most of the early records for Connecticut divorces to the mid-twentieth century are at the Connecticut State Library, including the packets of original documents and the superior court records books. Recent divorce packets remain in the court. Grace L. Knox and Barbara Ferris published a two-volume index to early Connecticut divorce packets through Heritage Books. Volume 1 covers New London, Tolland, and Windham counties; volume 2 covers Litchfield and Hartford counties. For details on changes of jurisdiction for divorces in Connecticut, see Henry S. Cohn's 'Connecticut's Divorce Mechanism, 1636'1969,' The American Journal of Legal History 14 (January 1970): 35-54, which is summarized in an information leaflet on divorce records available from the Connecticut State Library and on its website.
Ancestry.com also has a Connecticut Divorce Index, 1968-1997 compiled by the Connecticut Department of Public Health.

Gathering multiple sources and documents for a single person or family is crucial if you intend to create a highly accurate family tree or family history.
To acquire them, you likely will need to move from free resources available via the Internet to materials held by genealogical societies, state historical societies and libraries. And you will have to pay a fee for each copy and possibly for research time if you live too far away to visit in person. The fees typically are reasonable, and you will be rewarded with invaluable details that will confirm or clarify what you have found in free sources.
As noted at the end of the last post, obituaries would seem to be the very best source of details on an ancestor's life. After all, it is the person's life story summed up and published in one place. However, many obituaries were written by a surviving relative who knew many facts about the deceased but may not have recalled correctly specific dates and places, especially from early in the person's life.
In Part II of Finding Family for Free, I discussed the many sources on the Web for educator William Henry Luehr, my great-grandfather. I discovered enough online sources to be able to create a detailed Web page about him and about his family. I have also written a 15+ page biography about him for the family.
To make sure I had as much accurate information as possible, I searched the Wisconsin Historical Society Name Index online and found that a biographical sketch and obituaries were available. I wrote for copies of them.
His university education was important to his career, so I wanted to be sure I had the correct details. Interestingly, his obituaries give his graduation from the University of Wisconsin Madison as 1887 while other sources gave 1889. Fortunately, the biographical sketch published in 1912 in a Wisconsin educational history volume contained a precise outline of his education.
It states: "His early education was received in the county schools of New Holstein and the high school at Chilton. Later he spent two years at the Oshkosh State Normal and two and one-half years at the University of Wisconsin where he graduated in 1889 with the degree of Ph. B. In 1896 he took a graduate course in American history under Prof. F. J. Turner, and in economics and finance under Prof. R. T. Ely."
The biographical sketch clarified his graduation date — and added insights on his love of learning and other aspects of his career.
Multiple sources are the key to creating accurate family trees and histories. They are also crucial for getting past brick walls in your research, a topic for a future post here at Relative Musings: Finding Family for Free.
This is one in a series of genealogy and family history research ideas to help you find your family and ancestors for modest or no cost.
