Inter continued their unbeaten start to the season with a fantastic comeback victory over rivals Fiorentina.
Giuseppe Rossi netted from the penalty spot to give the Viola lead, but their advantage was shortlived as Esteban Cambiasso and a late Jonathan goal secured the three points for the hosts.
The victory, Walter Mazzarri's fourth in Serie A as Nerazzurri coach, puts the San Siro outfit second while it was Vincenzo Montella's first defeat of the campaign.
The result was kind on Inter, who made no changes to the side that thrashed Sassuolo 7-0 on Sunday, while while Montella only tinkered with his team, introducing Joaquin for the dropped Rafal Wolski.
Japan defender Yuto Nagatomo fired an early warning shot for Inter, forcing Fiorentina goalkeeper Neto into a save within the first minute, but it was the visitors who would control the early proceedings.
Rossi had an early chance on goal, linking well with Joaquin before hitting a fierce drive that Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic had to palm away, and the duo paired up again shortly after.
This time Handanovic had to keep out Joaquin, who was forced wide by Andrea Ranocchia, and the Spaniard also fizzed an effort across the face of goal as Fiorentina pressed for a goal.
Rossi and Manuel Pasqual – who hobbled off moments later – had further attempts on goal, with Inter restricted to half-chances and an acrobatic Fredy Guarin effort.
Fiorentina, who had continual joy down the right flank, deserved to be in front at the break, and Inter could have no complaints when they took the lead just before the hour-mark.
The goal came from the penalty spot, with Juan penalised for dragging down Joaquin, and Rossi stepped up to dispatch the spot-kick with precision.
Just as Inter looked to be running short of ideas, Cambiasso produced a moment of brilliance with 18 minutes to play for their equaliser.
Hugo Campagnaro won a crucial header among a dithering defence, and Cambiasso chested down before lashing a left-foot volley past Neto.
Campagnaro was then called on at the other end to make an important block that denied Rossi, while Borja Valero's superb cut-back was thrashed straight at Handanovic by substitute Josip Ilicic.
And his save was vital, as Inter charged forward and took the lead thanks to a bullet finish from Brazilian defender Jonathan.
Argentinian Ricky Alvarez played Jonathan in with a terrific ball from the left, and the scorer chested down and avoided the attempted interception by Matias Fernandez before he fired beyond Neto.
Alvaro Pereira and Cambiasso had further attempts on goal as Inter aimed to seal the result, while Ambrosini had a late effort for the losers, but Mazzarri's men held on.

Though all eyes are probably on the aftermath of Pycon (which, from all reports, was another great conference), Enthought was happy to sponsor the first New York Quantitative Python User Group Meetup (wow that's a mouthful) on March 6th. If you are in the New York area, you can sign up for the group here.
The program for the evening featured Marcos Lopez de Prado and our own Kelsey Jordahl (with an assist from yours truly). The meetup focused on the topic of portfolio optimization and some of its foibles. Marcos conducted an in-depth discussion of portfolio optimization in general and outlined his open source implementation of the CLA algorithm. He also discussed why he is such a fan of Python.
Our contribution to the evening focused on the the theme "From Research to Application." And by "research" we meant both research code (Marcos' CLA code is one example) and actual investment research. Firms are wrestling with data and trying to marshal all the expertise within the organization to make decisions. Increasingly, software is being used to help synthesize this information. In our thought experiment, we imagined a hypothetical portfolio manager or strategist that is trying to integrate the quantitative and fundamental expertise within the firm. What kind of information would this PM want to see? How could we make the application visually appealing and intuitively interactive?
We chose to use the Black-Litterman model to tie some of these threads together. In a nutshell, Black-Litterman takes a Bayesian approach to portfolio optimization. It assumes that the capital allocations in the market are decent and reverses the classical optimization process to infer expected returns (rather than weights). It also allows modification of these expected returns to reflect analyst views on a particular asset. For those of you not familiar with this subject, you can find an accessible discussion of the approach in He and Litterman (1999). Using the Black-Litterman model as our organizing principle, we put together an application that provides context for historical returns, relative value, and pairwise asset correlations, all wired together to provide full interactivity.
Given the limited time we had to put this together, there are obviously things we would have changed and things we would have liked to include. Nevertheless, we think the demo is a good example of how one can use open source technology to not only take advantage of research code but also integrate quantitative models and fundamental research.
FYI, the libraries used in the app are: Numpy/Pandas, Scipy, Traits, Chaco, and Enaml.
Videos of the talks are below. Tell us what you think!

Since makeup is about renovating your own personality, find the best Beauty Salon to rejuvenate your personality. This Top 10 List will help you finding the best quality Beauty Salon of Austin, TX. So, visit the best beauty salon in your neighborhood in Austin, TX, the unexpected change in your look as well as personality!
White Stylist Doing Black Hair in Sandhurst?
Okay, let's talk straight. For decades, women of African descent the world over have relied on various tried-and-tested methods to "relax" their hair. Then, about a decade ago, the Yuko system made a big stink among people of all colors when it came over from Japan, followed by Opti-Smooth. Now a third contender is fighting to become top dog in the hair straightening stakes: the Brazilian.
Not what the name may imply, the Brazilian is a relatively new hair straightening system that has nothing to do with waxing away pubic hair. It is a semi-permanent way to straighten the hair on your head, which uses keratin - and sometimes formaldehyde - to tame even the curliest locks. But while it may be taking the world of hair by storm, even it has its drawbacks...
If you are considering straightening your hair for more than just an occasional night out, you may be thinking of a permanent hair straightening system. Here is the best - and the worst - of the most popular systems currently on offer. Remember, success will depend not only on your type of hair and how rigorously you adhere to its upkeep, but also on the skill of your stylist - as well as the products he or she chooses to use.
Brazilian Hair Straightening (aka Brazilian Blow-Out or Brazilian Keratin Treatment). The stylist applies active keratin, a protein found in the top layer of our skin which makes it both waterproof and tough, although sometimes this is used in conjunction with formaldehyde, which can be dangerous (see below). The formula is then sealed into the hair using a hot iron, taking away frizz, curls and unruly waves. Takes about two hours, more for longer or more unruly hair.
* Home Relaxing Kits. Much like a do-it-yourself salon-style routine. Apply straightening cream, leave on, rinse away, straighten with straightening iron, neutralize, wash and blow dry. Takes about two hours in total, more for longer hair. Good luck!
* Ironing. Time was when many young girls had their hair ironed - with a clothes iron - to have straighter tresses. The process could take up to an hour and was often saved for special occasions. Required two people: one to lay her head on the ironing board while the other wielded the iron. Had to be a trusted friend - with excellent eyesight!
Hair straightening is just another way that us mortals deal with "the grass is greener" syndrome. In the 1970s and 1980s everyone was rushing to have a perm and make their straight hair curly, now the reverse is the talk of the town.
If you decide to go the permanently straight route, it's important to find a salon you trust. Take heed if your hair is dyed, colored or even just highlighted, as this may affect the outcome of the straightening process - even if your stylist assures you this isn't the case!
Remember, also, that all chemically straightened hair will require a good hair-care routine to keep it looking good. This means using a protein-rich shampoo, conditioner and other anti-frizz products, as locking in all the moisture possible will be crucial in maintaining that salon style.
Hairstyles For African American Women
Girls with wavy, curly, kinky, or nappy hair: Finally there is a solution! It's the latest trend and fad that all the celebrities are doing. It's called a Brazilian Hair Straightening. This treatment is setting the new standard for straight hair.
This treatment will turn your hair from drag to fab in less than 2 hours depending on the length of your hair. The best part is that it lasts up to 4 months! So no more weekly visits to the salon for a $100 checkup and no more monthly re-treatment visits to your favorite barbershop, the Brazilian keratin hair straightening treatment is it girls.
What is a Brazilian Hair Straightening Treatment?
Brazilian Keratin Hair Straightening is a revolutionary treatment is an intense treatment that softens, smoothens, and most important gives you straight hair.
It does not use any strong chemicals to open and close the hair cuticle in an effort to straighten it, breaking the bones of the hair shaft. Keratin is a natural substance, which comprises approximately 88% of your hair. It penetrates the hair repairing internal damage and coats the hair preventing further damage.
- Don't wash your hair for the first time.
- Do not tie your hair into a ponytail.
- Do not use hair clips.
- Do not place your hair behind your ears.
- Do not exercise or sweat.
- Do not use hair bands.
- Do not use your glasses to hold your hair back.
- Do not use sprays, gel or mousses.
Bottom line, if your hair is unruly, frizzy, or overly curly and you would like to have low maintenance, hassle free hair that is shiny and straight, a "Brazilian Hair Straightening" is just the thing for you. I hope you enjoy beautiful straight hair.

How big of a laughing stock does the U.S. have to become before our military wakes up and takes this clown out?
From Lame Cherry, who once again called this days before it happened:
The reality is this is beyond impeachment. This is a conspiracy of election fraud which has involved destruction of property, Hillary Clinton on treason charges, Barack Obama being a foreign asset plotting against the Government of these United States as Barry Chin, and the premier charge of multiple counts of homicide. I would ask the Grand Jury to toss in an indictment of Obama for violating bin Laden's corpse in buying it and Obama charged for the rape of Lara Logan.
And Obama is not available for a security briefing, Clinton apologizes for some stupid film that had nothing to do with the events, and the White House leaks sensitive information that puts our people at risk. Can you say Valerie Jarrett?
Incompetence means lives lost.
Read these links and know the truth about what is happening around us:
- The State Department had information this was going to happen and did nothing. Where were the Marines, and what are they doing with no ammo? Hey Panetta, how's that bullshit of leading our armed services working out for you? Instead HRC rolls around with that Weiner Huma, the muslim brotherhood invades America, and Obama is on a campaign schedule. Is this Obama's Jimmy Carter moment?
- The protesters in Egypt hadn't seen the film, yet the US media and the incompetent justice department, along with the crooked Southern Poverty Law Center, spun the story of a Christian, ex-soldier, training militias in churches in California as the culprit;
- An independent Cairo newspaper reveals that Egyptians planned the attack on the Embassy to get the US to release the blind sheik–something that Holder, Obama, and Clinton will do in their endless apologies for America
- Holder identifies the filmmaker? Is this for real, or did Obama pay the filmmaker to do this?
So what does this distract from? The anniversary of 911, more investigations of Obama's ineligibility, a disastrous convention for the democrats, and the big one, Bernacke's QE 3–the next bailout to secure our slavery forever.
Ask yourself who benefits from these events, and then listen to Revolution Radio's episode, "who are the real terrorists" for some truth.
Obama's next campaign stop? Leavenworth, Kansas.

Teachers and school administrators continue to expect that cell phones not be turned on during the school day.
I wholeheartedly agree.
This is a fight schools have been waging for close to 10 years and we must not give up now. If we quit, it will be viewed as weakness.
Cell phones can be a disruption to the learning process, an overall annoyance, and may even provoke larger problems when used as a camera or an MP3 player.
Administrators and teachers are well within their rights to demand that they not be on during school time.
We are trying to educate, not provide time for social interaction. What possible benefit could there be to using cell phones during school time?
They certainly couldn't be used as organizers, internet connections, note taking devices, or calculators (has an IEP been written yet with a cell phone in it… if it hasn't; it will and should be).
Cell phones are most likely a fad and will simply go away if we fight them long enough. We must hold our ground.
In elementary school, I remember one of my teachers telling us that people would soon get bored with calculators and at that point they would disappear (how is that working out for you Mrs. Crazy?)
To older people like me, cell phones are an evil example of progress. And we don't need that. The future scares us and it should be avoided at all costs.
This whole technology thing is getting out of hand. We need to hold kids back as they try to move ahead of us with these new fangled ideas (after all students are nothing more than our replacements).
Much like cars, indoor plumbing, and the SMARTBoards; cell phones are just another way to ruin the way of life of which we have grown comfortable.
We need to hold our ground. No cell phones.
And as administrators we need to lead this fight. We must be an example to young people in living a "cell phone free" life. A life where we put common courtesy ahead of convenience.
Who is with me!?
I say as administrators we start by setting the ultimate example.
Simply put; turn your phone on vibrate when attending a meeting. You are annoying everyone around you.
You expect students to do it. Practice what you preach.
The school you work at will survive for an hour. None of us are as important as we think we are.
You want students to be attentive and polite; how about we try it first.
Just in case you are a little slow… this is what we like to call sarcasm… I am a huge proponent of the benefits of using a cell phone in the classroom as a "learning tool". But for the love of Pete people…, turn off your cell phone when you are in a meeting or presentation! It's called vibrate… try it. You just might like it.
Thank you for letting me vent. I feel much better.

Hearing that Pat Noonan has called time on his 10-year MLS career and will become a member of Bruce Arena's coaching staff taking over the assistant coach spot vacated by new Technical Director Jovan Kirovski.
The 32-year-old Noonan ends a ten-year professional career that began in 2003 when he was selected 9th overall in the MLS SuperDraft by the New England Revolution. During his career, Noonan made stops in New England, Norweigan club Aalesunds SK, Columbus Crew, Colorado Rapids, and Seattle Sounders before joining the Galaxy.
In his lone season with the Galaxy, Noonan made 14 appearances across all competitions scoring two goals. Although Noonan was not a regular for the club during MLS play, he played a valuable leadership role in LA's CONCACAF Champions League campaign.

Breaking News From Michael Phelps: 'Everybody Pees in the Pool'
In an exclusive interview with the Wall Street Journal, Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympic athlete of all time, broke this news: people, on occasion, relieve themselves in the pool.
Fellow Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte caused a bit of a stir recently when he reportedly said that he has, on occasion, urinated while in the pool; Phelps, however, suggested that it was no big deal. "I think everybody pees in the pool," Phelps said. "It's kind of a normal thing to do for swimmers. When we're in the water for two hours, we don't really get out to pee." He added "Chlorine kills it so it's not bad."

Pratt & Whitney Receives Advertising Award from Air Transport World Magazine
Pratt & Whitney's "global wingspan" advertisement - highlighting the company's worldwide maintenance, repair and overhaul network - received the gold award in the Engine Maintenance & Support category at Air Transport World's 39th Annual AdAwards reception, held March 26 in Washington, D.C.
By winning the gold award, Pratt & Whitney edged out Chromalloy, which placed second with a silver award in the Engine Maintenance & Support category.
The awards, which Air Transport World calls "a true measure of a company being able to communicate its message to its readers," are judged strictly by magazine readership through an online survey - each advertisement being rated on a scale of one to 10.
Pratt & Whitney's advertisement was recognized for its "eye-catching graphic" and copy that describes the company's dependability and the 24/7 availability of its services, which supports the advertisement's visual.
According to one judging Air Transport World reader, it is important for an engine service to make such a claim and Pratt & Whitney has "hit the mark" with this advertisement. "If you are a services business in the airline industry you have to be a 24/7 business, and Pratt does a great job of demonstrating just that … the message is clear, original and innovative. All the elements of the ad work well to make this one a winner."

The Hangover slow motion walking
Besides Bradley Cooper's hair, my favourite part of The Hangover 3 comes at the end, when Todd Phillips montages together all the shots of the guys slow motion walking from the entire franchise. Can't remember what song he cut it to but it looks good. They slow motion walk down the hotel corridor in the first movie. Full Story

The Posh stepped out earlier with her tit rocks all tweaked… Then in the evening, on the red carpet for the UK premiere of The Hangover, Heather Graham let her nipples do the talking too.

Heather Has-been
Once upon a time, some people actually cared about Heather Graham. Then they figured out she can't do much but open her eyes wide and look pretty. It was over quickly. Credit to her, she still persists. Still making her way in Hollywood, with a lifetime membership on the C List, and resorting to tactics like these for attention. Full Story

Heath Ledger had a torrid love affair with Heather Graham a few years ago before dating Naomi Watts. Now that he's single again, apparently he's looking to Heather for a booty call. Page Six Full Story

Heath Ledger and Helena Christensen have been making out all over NYC – first last week over dinner, then the other night at the premiere of Eastern Promises which stars, curiously enough, his ex Naomi Watts. Helena is apparently all over him all the time – described as a total cougar. She's 10 years older and has supposedly had her eye on him since last November when the two were seen leaving together from the premiere of Candy. Full Story

Poor thing should never, ever, ever have let go of Heath Ledger. Full Story
The Daily Skitty: Heather Graham
When I first met my husband, the two women on his Freebie 5 were Cameron Diaz and Heather Graham. Obviously, I married a blind man who grew up in a trailer park. And while his mother would totally kill me if she knew I said that – because Poles are far, far from trashy (she pulls out the best silver EVERY time we go over for dinner. Full Story

Tesla Model S: Collectable vehicle of the future
Tesla Model S: Collectable vehicle of the future
I hope not. Otherwise how am I ever going to afford a second S if they are all in museums or the collections of bazzillionairs :-(
Kind of hard for a model that will have 20,000 units produced a year (and be relatively unchanged for multiple model years) to become too collectible, honestly.
Did you see the drag race on that site between the Volt and a Model S? HAHAHAHAHAHA!
@archibaldcrane - what makes you say the S will be unchanged across model years? Elon said they won't follow the industry in changing the S for each model year, but he didn't say they wouldn't change the S. Plenty of speculation around a station wagon version, AWD, sport handling pack, ...
I'd think those variants will be in addition to the 20-30K "regular" MSes. Maybe the graveyard shift will be dedicated to them!
I love my model S I hope to keep it a long time but honestly I think Fisker Karma is more likely to become a collectible because the company will probably go out of business. Therefore the karma is guaranteed to be rare.
Especially considering the SC factor. (Spontaneous Combustion)
Perhaps the Sigs will become collectible, being only 1200 or so in number.
Consider the cars they selected previously. Lots of those on the road, initially. I assume they assume a certain rate of attrition -- obviously not applicable to the MS. It will never wear out! :D

Greetings everyone!
I wanted to share our official pics of our Rivendell collaboration that we did for Brickcon. I am still a bit burnt out from this build which is why my CCC building has been less than productive, but very happy with the way everything turned out. Alice was amazing to collaborate with and is an immensely talented builder.

The Feeling of Home (Prompt 20)
Begging the question here. Home ― now or then? My parents' home or my domestic-era home? My current home? Must wing it, then.
In olden days the start of school holidays was when the train from Winnipeg pulled into the Port Arthur station, signalling I was home. The heart would feel almost like bursting from happiness. Back in God's country. That's what we called it. The feeling never abated.
Then there were these:
Life gifted me.
Home was our century farm where they grew up. Horses, ponies, cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens, pheasants, peacocks, turkeys, capons, guinea fowl, rabbits, have I forgotten anything? Oh yes, assorted dogs and cats. Summer corn roasts; winter Christmas-tree cutting parties; the MerriMar maple syrup business; 4-H for ponies and sheep; Prince Phillip Games; trucks; tractors; hay baling; rock picking; boyfriends; drivers' licences. Well, they could tell you much more than I.
Now, home is my writing cave of desirable, mostly splendid solitude. Well-deserved rest as I see it. Substituting Lake Ontario for Lake Superior, I'm good.
Hobbies (Prompt 21)
Growing up, ballet school was not exactly a hobby, it was five days a week of hard work after school. No time left for hobbies, I was clearly a social misfit. Maybe school was a hobby. Although I dabbled with writing poetry, drawing cartoons, collecting LPs, and inventing pranks to harass teachers.
Late insertion: Cripes, how could I forget. Sewing. Something good inherited from my grandmother and mother. Never thought of it as a hobby, though. It was thoroughly satisfying craftsmanship, creating half my kids' clothes and some of my own for years. I miss that old sewing machine, especially when I need curtains or to alter ill-chosen fashion mistakes!
Genealogy became a hobby, then a lifesaving job.
Currently could we call camels a hobby? Could be going full-circle to social misfittedness.
Daily Routine(s) (Prompt 22)
Growing up, my father had a routine. Breakfast at 8, lunch at noon, dinner at 6. I'm guessing that was pretty much my mother's routine by default! We kids just fell in line. Now I eat at noon and about 9 pm. Okay, confessing to popcorn/junk food break (cue furtive chortle).
My routine:
That comes close to nailing it. Thank you, free-floating Facebook sources and Genevieve Rhode wherever you are.
Boarding school ingrains two morning things: You make your bed, you get dressed. Or vice-versa. You do it at once, every day. Without fail. Like the army. You don't even have to think when you are putting on the same uniform each morning. Excellent training to become an obsessive-compulsive.
Nowadays, a little variation is required. Getting up is about the same, maybe with a few extra groans. Getting dressed requires coffee for stability on the hind legs and to facilitate decision-making about what exactly to wear. Unless, of course, that was compulsively decided the night before to avoid heavy thinking first thing. Like if you never throw out the clothes from twenty years ago, there are wardrobe choices to debate and slow you down (should do something about that to increase efficiencies). More coffee is required before the bed gets made. Scrolling Facebook is like a tune-up to test how many neurons are blinking. Then to work. Or fitness class, if the daytimer says so.
Ah well, structure and discipline are necessary but routines are a rather dull topic. Mine starts disintegrating after the daily walk in a futile attempt to blow off the brain fog. Looking with interest at the FitBit trend. I will say I never leave home without the earrings in. I'm not dressed unless.

The simple reason is clear: We are frail beings who make mistakes habitually. There is no loving humanity without forgiving people. The same reality applies to human-to-human relationships.
Forgiveness is the way a person can connect with the full humanity of another and defeat negativity and divisiveness with the power of surrender to the truth of the inherit dignity of all people. This may very well be the supreme act of loving-kindness. When I am forced to forgive another, or to ask for forgiveness, all of the idols of perfection, power, control, and self-aggrandizement are stripped away. What remains are two people, in the same condition, standing before the same God and each other. True love happens in moments of forgiveness.
In this week, take some time to think of all of the areas in your life where you need to forgive or be forgiven and take the necessary steps to make forgiveness happen. It may be the most loving thing you can do!

How Change Happens In Home Performance
Posted by Jim Gunshinan on January 06, 2014
I was reviewing an article in Home Energy by Steve Mann that came out in the January/February issue ("DOE's Challenge Home," p. 6). He wrote on the latest iteration of DOE's Challenge Home Program. Steve points out, in his usual insightful and articulate way, what he sees as the strengths and weakness of this program. I hope you've read it, or will read it. Send us your comments by email, or on the Home Energy website.
Reading Steve's article made me think, "Wow, do we really need another government program that requires builders and contractors to get their heads and their business plans around another set of building requirements?" Before I get in trouble with DOE, I have to say that my conclusion is, "Yes, we do need another government program." Before I get in trouble with the free market folks reading this, I have to say, "Yes, government programs are often a barrier to some businesses thriving."
One of my history professors in college shared his idea about how organizations change. For 25 years, he said, everyone but the people leading the change fight it tooth and nail. Then for 25 years they go about making small changes that eventually end up bringing the organization in the general direction of the needed change. For 25 years after that people convince themselves that things have always been done this way.
Change is hard, however it comes about. That's why it takes a consistent effort over a long period of time from leaders who see the necessary change and are committed to push it step by small step into reality—often against a lot of inertia and those who are invested in keeping things the way they are. But it is necessary. We have to find a way to move to a more sustainable way of life, a more sustainable way of building and living in our homes. The survival of our species and a healthy economy depend on it.
Sometimes it helps me to look at the extremes to find a way forward. If we had a purely free market economy, most of us would experience a swift decline in our living conditions, but an elite group of people would live relatively well. Think Black Market. If we had no private sector, the government was all-powerful, and there were no non-profit advocacy groups, I am convinced we would experience a swift decline of living conditions among most of us but an elite group of people would live relatively well. Think Soviet Union. Capitol systems need regulation and democratic governments need people who work and innovate, and those who provide them with capitol to do it.
When change happens in home performance, I think it happens through an interaction among the private sector, non-profit organizations like Home Energy, and government. So yes, I believe we do need government programs to help us move to a more sustainable way of living, even though government programs can be a royal pain in the … neck. Of course some programs are better than others, and all programs can be tweaked and changed in order to work better for everyone.
I wonder how the 30-year life of Home Energy matches up with the timeline of the nations' sustainable building movement. It's hard to say exactly, because people have different ideas about when things began. From my purely personal perspective, having worked for the magazine for almost half of its life, it feels like for the last few years we have been, in the scheme of my college history professor, in the second period, where people all over are making the little changes that brings us closer to our goals of broad-based sustainable home building and renovation. Home Energy spent it's early years in that first period, when very few mainstream builders and contractors were interested in building science and they didn't want to look at the house as a system. Our authors have sometimes been a thorn in the side of builders and contractors, along with DOE, EPA, HUD, and some other government bodies, by forcing people to look more closely at how they build and renovate houses. But we are no longer one of a few voices calling out in the wilderness. Others we began with and partner with, such as ACI, EEBA, BPI, RESNET, ACEEE, DOE, USGBC, others, and lots of new players are now advocating for sustainable home building practices. And Home Energy, through it's authors, staff, and advertisers, provides ongoing support, and sometimes, still, a gentle nudge, to the home performance community. At least that is what we always aspire to do.
I'm proud to say we have been an important part of a building revolution—call it home performance, green building, sustainable building, resiliency, or something else that began decades ago. When we get to the point where builders and contractors read Home Energy, and say to themselves, "This is always how we have done things," than we will have arrived at our destination. I hope it doesn't take us too long to get there. Then we could start a new magazine, Home Energy on Mars.

From Linda Deutch, Associated Press:
LOS ANGELES — Susan Atkins, a follower of cult leader Charles Manson whose remorseless witness stand confession to killing pregnant actress Sharon Tate in 1969 shocked the world, has died. She was 61 and had been suffering from brain cancer.
Atkins' death comes less than a month after a parole board turned down the terminally ill woman's last chance at freedom on Sept. 2. She was brought to the hearing on a gurney and slept through most of it.
California Department of Corrections spokeswoman Terry Thornton said that Atkins died late Thursday night. She had been diagnosed with brain cancer in 2008, had a leg amputated and was given only a few months to live.
She underwent brain surgery, and in her last months was paralyzed and had difficulty speaking. But she managed to speak briefly at the Sept. 2 hearing, reciting religious verse with the help of her husband, attorney James Whitehouse.
She had been transferred to a skilled nursing facility at the California Central Women's Facility at Chowchilla exactly one year before she died.

A CT scan uses x-rays and special computers to make images of the inside of the body. In this case, the images are of the head.
|CT Scan of the Head
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Test
A CT scan is done to study your skull, brain, jaw, sinuses, and facial bones. It will look for signs of injuries, tumors, infections, or other diseases.
A head CT may be advised if you have any of the following symptoms:
- Headache
- Seizures
- Head injury or injury to the face or eyes
- Lightheadedness or problems with balance
- Confusion
- Behavior or personality change
- Chronic nasal congestion
- Swelling in the face, head, or neck
- Double vision
Possible Complications
A chemical called contrast may be used to help improve the images. Some people can have an allergic reaction or develop kidney problems with contrast material. However, these reactions are rare. Your doctor will review a list of possible complications of a CT scan with contrast.
A CT scan does use radiation. You and your doctor will weigh the harms and benefits of this test. A CT scan may not be advised if you are pregnant.
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the test.
What to Expect
Prior to Test
Your doctor may ask you to:
- Avoid eating or drinking anything for 4 hours before the test if contrast will be used.
- Remove any metal objects, such as jewelry, hearing aids, or dentures.
Description of the Test
If contrast is needed, it will be injected into a vein.
You will be positioned on a special moving table. The table will move slowly through the CT scanner. You will need to stay still during the entire test. The technician may need to use a device to keep your head still. As the scanner takes pictures, you will hear humming and clicking. You will be able to talk to the technician through an intercom.
After Test
If you had contrast, you may be asked to drink extra fluid. This will flush the contrast from your body.
How Long Will It Take?
About 10 minutes
Will It Hurt?
You may feel flushed if you are given contrast. You may also notice a salty or metallic taste in your mouth and feel nauseated.
The CT images will be sent to a radiologist for analysis. Your doctor will receive the results and discuss them with you.
Call Your Doctor
If you were given contrast, call your doctor if any of the following occur after the test:
- Hives
- Itching
- Nausea
- Swollen, itchy eyes
- Tightness of throat
- Difficulty breathing
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Carey Price catches Hainsworth on Habs' victory list
MONTREAL — It was 45 minutes after Thursday's entirely surreal 5-4 Canadiens overtime victory against the Ottawa Senators when I tweeted two photographs joined as one:
Habs netminder Carey Price, shot in practice last season by The Gazette's Allen McInnis, appeared to be looking pensively over his right shoulder to a digitally attached 1920s Rice Studio portrait of wool-capped goaler George Hainsworth.
With 40 saves Thursday, a dozen or more of them certain goals on many other nights, Price earned his 167th career victory, bringing him alongside Hainsworth at No. 6 on the Canadiens' all-time list of regular-season Habs wins by a goaltender.
It was 11 p.m. Thursday, Price on the team bus headed to the team's charter flight that soon would lift off for Toronto, when I flipped the photos to his iPhone for his amusement.
"I'm just glad I don't have to wear that equipment," he cracked in reply, having looked at the battered almost-cricket pads and elbow-high gloves Hainsworth wore during his 318 games between 1926-33, returning to Montreal for two final Habs matches in 1936-37.
Side by side, both Price and Hainsworth wore CH jerseys and held their sticks in their right hands, and that is where the similarities seemed to end.
Well, not exactly.
No matter how well he stopped the puck, Hainsworth was often criticized for his lack of an obvious fire, far removed from the flamboyant, emotional, even tortured netminders of the day.
"I'm sorry I can't put on a show like some of the other goaltenders," Hainsworth said in the late 1920s, quoted in several books on the history of goaltending.
"I can't look excited because I'm not. I can't shout at other players because that's not my style. I can't dive on easy shots and make them look hard. I guess all I can do is stop pucks."
The NHL's first goalie captain when so named by the Habs in 1932-33, Hainsworth was "almost mechanical in his perfection," according to a news report.
Price was part robot, part alien and part artist Thursday, filling a highlight reel by his lonesome. That he was named only second star by Ottawa's TSN radio station — first was Senators defenceman Erik Karlsson, whose goal and two assists still paled in comparison — showed what an exercise in homerism the three-star selections can be.
But if the superlatives about Price's work flowed in the Canadiens dressing room from his coach and teammates — "The guys were pretty pumped up after that one," the goalie said Friday — so too did praise come from down the hall.
"We're not pleased we didn't win but at the same time we have to tip our hat to their goaltender, who kept the game close," Senators coach Paul MacLean said.
"Carey obviously had a great second period," said Ottawa forward Clarke MacArthur. "It could have been six or seven unanswered (goals) there. He did a great job."
Added winger Bobby Ryan: "(Price) was the difference, right? That game could have been a much different game going into the third if it wasn't for him. He made three, four, maybe five 10-bellers right in a row."
Referees were in fact using bells before whistles in the playground days of Hainsworth, who would become the second great goaler in Canadiens history. If Price was underwhelmed Thursday by the paper-thin pads on the 5-foot-6, 150-pound native of Toronto, he would think likewise of the similar gear worn by George's predecessor, NHL pioneer Georges Vézina, the Canadiens icon who now sits just eight wins ahead at No. 5 on the list.
Easily within reach at No. 4 is Bill Durnan, whose 208 wins seem certain to be passed next season, with Ken Dryden's 258 and Patrick Roy's 289 ranking third and second.
You cannot compare Price's victories to those of the team's 1920s stars, nor Durnan of the '40s, Dryden of the '70s or Roy, who spanned the 1980s and '90s.
And you certainly cannot compare Price's record to that of Jacques Plante, No. 1 on the club list with 314 victories from 1952-63.
But at 26, with four more seasons remaining on his current contract, Price is more than halfway to Plante, who backstopped six championships teams. Five of the quirky legend's Stanley Cups were won anchoring the Canadiens' 1956-60 dynasty.
On Twitter Thursday night, Habs fan Yves Giroux noted that Price will be the first Canadiens goalie to pass Vézina on the team list without in fact having won a Vézina Trophy, the award created upon the legend's 1926 death to recognize the NHL's best goalie (since 1981-82 based on a GM vote, not pure statistics).
In the Bell Centre dressing room, almost directly across from Price's stall, is the Hall of Fame portrait of Vézina, making eye contact any time he looks across and gazes up. Eight portraits to the left is Hainsworth, down four more is Durnan.
Above Price's head is Roy, with Dryden and Plante five and eight stalls along, on his glove side.
There is no escaping history when you play goal for the Canadiens, not that Price has run from it. He is familiar with all of the names of the men who have preceded him into the Habs net, and now the ones he hears of mostly are the true greats into whose neighbourhood, in a few statistical categories, he is playing.
"You're aware of what guys have accomplished before you," Price said Friday. "But my goals are so short-term that I try not to pay too much attention to it."
Late Friday afternoon, he had yet to see any highlights of what arguably was his most sensational performance as a pro, the 28th time in his career he has faced 40 or more shots. He expected to review Senators tape Saturday morning with goalie coach Stéphane Waite to fine tune for his start a few hours later against the Maple Leafs.
"To be honest, I tend to have a short memory, whether it's a good or bad game," Price said. "By the time I got to the rink (Friday), it was all about getting prepared for (Saturday)."
His next win will bring him to within seven of Vézina, a goaltending cornerstone then, now and forever.
"I've played with a lot of good teams," Price said, another milestone soon at hand. "I've got to give them a lot of credit for getting me this many wins."

Typical. In his own words Shane Kampe was "typical" of many other kids that grew up in suburban Kansas City. But typical wasn't enough, he wanted something "better" than a clean-cut lifestyle. Drugs, alcohol, women. All three drew Shane's attention and he more than complied. He chased them to excess.
10 years ago Shane had an appointment with destiny. His life hung in the balance, yet he was powerless to do anything about it. It was an impossible situation that only a miracle could resolve. His friend "Whispering" Danny has shared part of the narrative in his I Am Second film, but here is the rest of the story.

From Fedora Project Wiki
From email@example.com Fri Jun 30 16:44:43 2006 Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2006 16:39:32 -0700 From: Mingming Cao <firstname.lastname@example.com> To: email@example.com Subject: [Ext2-devel] ext4 developers interlock meeting minutes (June 28th, 2006) meeting minutes of ext4 developers interlock meeting on June 26st, 2006: Attendees: Stephen Tweedie, Mingming Cao, Theodore Ts'o, Badari Pulavarty, Suparna Bhattacharya, Takashi Sato, Laurent Vivier, Jean-Noel Cordenner, Alexandre Ratchov, Don Howard 1. ext3_fsblk_t patches and percpucounter changes to support >31 bit counter are merged to linus git tree. The lastes 48bit ext3 patch series is also rebased to 2.6.17-git13: http://ext2.sourceforge.net/48bitext3/patches/patches-2.6.17/latest This series included Stephen's fixes, as well as patch from Suparna to handling uninitalized preallocation, and some minor fixes. Badari and Avantika tested(with fsstress and fsx test) this series on x86, x86-64 and ppc64 arch, mounted w/o extents, seems fine. More performance tests are needed. Mingming posted the series to lklm after the meeting. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=115162711510593&w=2 2. Stephen and Ted posted the proposed next steps to ext2-devel, the questions raised was whether to split JBD to a new 64bit JBD while we are forking ext4 fs branch. Stephen made comments that the situation for JBD is quite similar to the situation we have for ext3/4 split. Right now for 64 bit support in JBD the changes are not so intrusive, but in the near future we want to add new feature/improvements to 64 bit JBD, such as adding checksum to JBD, reworking and that make a lot of sense to split to a new JBD branch. Stephen also commented that to mark ext3dev fs to ext4, we don't necessarily need to stablized the ext3dev, as long as all the on-disk format changes are locked up we could mark it ext4. Ted sent out the next steps to lklm after the meeting. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=115153896606104&w=2 3. finer timestamp patch was discussed a bit, is it ready to include to the series? Stephen commented to wait until the kernel patch is seattle down and the corresponding e2fsprogs changes are there. Right now he has concerns about the kernel patches. To be discussed with Andreas. 4. Alexandra posted the extent patch for e2fsprog to ext2-devel, he posted the re-ordered the whole series of e2fsprogs changes from BULL to support 48 bit and extent in e2fsprogs, right now it's avaiable at http://ext2.sourceforge.net/48bitext3/patches/e2fsprogs/48bit- e2fsprogs-1.39/ Next steps for this is to review the extent change and integrate to e2fsprogs. 5. Takashi posted patches to support large block size. To be reviewed and discuss next time. Thanks, Mingming

By Phil Sammon, Forest Service, Public Affairs Specialist
Today, President Barack Obama, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, Nancy Sutley, Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality and Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior, hosted the White House Conference on America's Great Outdoors, a gathering of leaders from communities across the country who are working to protect their outdoor spaces.
The USDA Forest Service is proud to join the Natural Resources Conservation Service and other USDA agencies in supporting the Get Outdoors Initiative to motivate healthy lifestyles and activities.
The goals of this Presidential Initiative coincide with one of the Forest Service's primary missions – to actively support, promote, and fund numerous related programs, projects, and initiatives with wide-ranging missions and goals. In fact, just this week, the Forest Service has made a few announcements in this area.
On Wednesday, Agriculture Secretary Vilsack announced the availability of Forest Legacy Program grants to protect sensitive lands in 33 states and territories. These local projects can provide the background for local conservation education and interpretive programs associated with local, state and federal programs aimed whose goals and missions are closely related to healthy lifestyles, conservation education, and the challenge of reconnecting Americans and American families to the outdoors.
Also this week, the Forest Service announced major challenge cost-sharing opportunities for the More Kids in the Woods program, whose mission is to provide more natural resource and nature experiences to children across the country. These future leaders will be better able to make sound environmental and natural resource decisions if they have developed an understanding and an ownership of the public lands this agency manages.
In speaking about the More Kids in the Woods initiative, Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell commented that this and related programs are vital in opening doors to urban and rural kids and their families through projects that promote healthier lifestyles while preparing them to cope with conservation issues of the 21st century: climate change, water quality and sustainable management of natural and cultural resources.
We look forward to hearing from people around the country over the coming weeks and months as part of the America's Great Outdoors initiative, and to continuing our work with our state, local, and private partners help us to raise environmental and conservation awareness, and to help prepare future leaders for this agency, and for our country.
Listening to President Barack Obama's remarks are (L to R) Council on Environmental Quality Chair Nancy Sutley, Environmental Protection Agency Lisa Jackson (standing behind Ms. Sutley), Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, Department of Defense representative, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrator Dr. Jane Lubchenco, and Housing and Urban Development representative

After teasing us for several weeks, Rovio has finally released Angry Birds Star Wars. Angry Birds Star Wars is a peculiar mashup of one of the most popular movie franchises of all time with one of biggest gaming franchises of the recent past.
Angry Birds Star Wars features gameplay elements from both classical Angry Birds and Angry Birds Space, but pushes both of them to the next level. Your favorite birds have been re-dressed keeping in mind the Star Wars universe and can now emit force fields, wield light-sabers, and shoot bullets.
As always, there are plenty of varied levels to keep you hooked. Rovio promises more than 80 levels in various Star Wars inspired locations like Tatooine and the Pig Star. To conquer these levels, you will have to dodge Imperial pigs, laser turrets, Tusken Raider pigs, and the dark side of the Force.
Angry Birds Star Wars costs $0.99 on iOS for the iPhone version and $2.99 for the iPad version. The Android version is free, but has advertisements. If you want to get rid of the ads, you can get rid of them through $0.99 in-app purchase. Interestingly enough, Rovio is also offering something called Angry Birds Star Wars HD for $2.99, which looks just like the other Android version sans the ads. Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 editions can be purchased from respective Stores for $4.99. It is also available on PC for $4.95, and on Mac for $4.99.

Teens arrested on arson charges
Five fires set between Aug. and Dec.
MONTELLO, Wis. — Two teenagers were arrested after an investigation into numerous fires in central Wisconsin, according to the Marquette County Sheriff's Office.
Jayson A. Reetz, 19, of Ripon and Adam J. Friedl, 17, of Neshkoro were arrested on suspicion of numerous counts of arson.
Investigators said Reetz and Friedl are responsible for numerous intentionally set fires located in the Neshkoro Township including the Camp Budsin community center, a large grain operation building and a residence in both Marquette and Waushara counties.
Five fires connected to the case were set between Aug. 19 and Dec. 4, according to authorities.
Reetz is being held in the Marquette County Jail on a $25,000 cash bond and Friedl was released from jail after posting bond.
Both are scheduled to appear in court Jan. 7.

Jailed Dissident's Wife: 'I Don't Want You to Give Up'
The wife of prominent Chinese rule of law advocate Xu Zhiyong has released a letter written to her husband, a day after he was sentenced to four years in prison and two weeks after the birth of the couple's daughter, offering a rare window into the emotional burden imposed on the family members of jailed dissidents.
In the most significant prosecution of a Chinese dissident in years, Mr. Xu, founder of a loosely organized civic group known as the New Citizens Movement, was found guilty on Sunday of organizing a series of protests over corruption and access to education. He is one of dozens of activists who have been detained or arrested in a broad crackdown on dissent launched in March.
In the letter, Cui Zheng says the couple's daughter – born while Mr. Xu was in police custody – looks like her father when she frowns. She also urges him not to worry too much about the family, noting that a group of entrepreneurs had offered a substantial cash donation, which she accepted. And perhaps most notably, she hints at reservations about Mr. Xu's political activities. She accepts the results of his case, she says, "but it is not because what you persist in doing is noble to me. It's because fate has pushed you to the point where you must chose to persist and set aside everything else."
The families of jailed Chinese dissidents seldom say much publicly, whether out of a desire for privacy or because of pressure from authorities. The family released the letter, according to Zhang Qingfang, Mr. Xu's lawyer, because they had been inundated with questions about how they were faring. "A lot of people care about his family, so we wanted to use this opportunity to let people better understand the situation," he said.
Here's a rough China Real Time translation:
Xu Zhiyong:
Every day in the two weeks since Niuniu was born, my body and mind have been exhausted. Although she's only a tiny 50 centimeters, the three of us – myself, my mother and father – plus a midwife, have been running around in circles without a full night's sleep. With the trial and verdict coming so quickly, it's a little more than we can handle. Though we were calm when we heard the result, all of our fantasies have been snuffed.
Finally, I've figured it out. Everyone has their own things they hold fast to – a bottom-line they won't change to cater to or please others. I, too, have lines I won't cross, no matter how much you beg me to. Therefore, I don't blame you at all for today's result and I accept it calmly. But it is not because what you persist in doing is noble to me. It's because fate has pushed you the point where you must chose to persist and give up on everything else.
You should discuss the details of a second trial with Lawyer Zhang before the Spring Festival. I don't have the energy to get involved any more. But still I hope you will walk the path of this process to the end. I don't want you to give up, even if there is only a theoretical chance of success.
Don't worry too much about the issues at home. I only hope you will always think about the child. Niuniu's nose and mouth look very much like yours. Every time she frowns, she looks so much like you. It fills me with melancholy. If we say the situations you and I find ourselves in now are the result of our own subjective choices, are our own doing, then this 14-day-old is really among the most innocent people in the world.
Lots of your friends came to visit us after the delivery. Some of them I knew and some I didn't. Hosting all those guests gradually become a burden to me, so I turned down on lots of visitors. Wang Ying -- an entrepreneur who became popular after you were arrested -- raised 120,000 yuan ($20,000) among a small group of entrepreneurs. I didn't turn that one down, just to let you know. She hopes doing this will somehow bring you some hope.
Let's not say too much for now. Spring Festival will be here in a few days. Second-sister will bring you some warm clothes. Since you have to take the long view, you might want to take some time during the holiday to plan out the future. Since you'll be living in a new place for a long time, try to live something like a life – you can only stay healthy by getting proper food, clothing and shelter and being as comfortable as possible. Don't avoid the inconvenience. You also need to make sure to exercise. You looked like you were in good spirits during the trial, a little weak though. I hope you can strengthen yourself a bit by eating more and exercising.
Second sister and third sister were both in Beijing during the trial. I had no way to talk with you that day, so I didn't persist in listening to the end. My delivery was smooth, but it felt unusually painful – it really is one of life's great challenges. So I decided not to the day you were sentenced. I needed some rest and didn't want to get too emotional. Also, no matter what the result was, I knew I wouldn't have to wait too long to see you again. As for settling accounts, let's wait until we're face-to-face.
