Brian Scalabrine has received some of the biggest cheers Boston has ever heard. But that's more because of his cult hero status and Celtics-befitting red hair than his skills on the court. Still, Scalabrine left an NBA legacy of not only being a scrub but also of being a beloved sub -- and one who was always around when teams were winning. Scalabrine, who played 11 seasons in the NBA, was with the Celtics for five years, including their 2008 championship. He's been marked as a winner who helped whatever club he joined -- 3.1 points a game notwithstanding. Now, apparently, someone wants to follow in his footsteps -- and it's none other than former Boston reserve man Rasheed Wallace, USA Today sports reporter Jeff Zillgitt writes. Rasheed Wallace on his role w/NYK: "I accept my Brian Scalabrine role. I'm cool with it."— Jeff Zillgitt (@JeffZillgitt) November 3, 2012 Now, what exactly does Sheed mean? That he wants to be a stopgap cheerleader? That he's ready to average 1.1 points a game for an entire season? That he wants to go into a game like a human victory cigar -- deployed when the game is in the bag? As is the case most often with Wallace, no one can really know. But it's a good sign that Wallace isn't counting on too many minutes, no matter how much the usually injury-plagued and lackluster Knicks need him.

A couple weeks ago I planned to make swing dress 08/2012 but the dress didn't turn out well as I expected. I decided to refashion the dress instead of throwing it to the trash. I used 3 different patterns for this dress.
For the top, I used the pattern from burdastyle empire dress 08/2012.
For the sleeves, I used the short sleeves pattern from burdastyle a-line dress 08/2012. I had to shorten the pattern because the original pattern is long sleeves.
For the skirt, I used my self-drafted pencil skirt pattern

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Three charts that show why your heating bill will fall
The Department of Energy is predicting lower heating costs this winter. Some homes could see a nearly 40 percent drop in their heating bill. There are a couple forces behind this, and the federal Energy Information Administration has a wealth of data. Here's what you need to know, boiled down to three charts.
The Polar Vortex took our natural gas
Natural gas is used to heat 57 percent of homes. Prices are on the rise after last winter's bitter temperatures depleted supply. Even if this winter is 10 percent warmer than expected, the EIA projects supply still won't have recovered to prior levels in 2015.
This winter will be much warmer
Last winter hiked up natural gas prices, and electricity followed, but the EIA is predicting demand will fall faster, especially when compared to last year's bitter polar vortex conditions. Heating days — a national measure of demand, waited by population — are expected to fall sharply for winter 2014-2015, following a decades-long trend.
That means lower bills for (almost) everyone
Even if this winter is 10 percent colder than predicted, the EIA says propane and heating oil users will see drops in their bills. As it's forecast now, demand will outpace higher prices and mean discounts across the board.
Of course, needs vary across the country, the energy department has an interactive tool that lets you explore spending state-by-state.

Record labels try their luck at comedy
The Recording Industry Association of America released their mid-year report, showing revenue industry wide is down almost five percent from last year as audiences turn towards streaming services like Spotify and Pandora.
But for one iconic indie label, there's hope sales can bounce back, and that hope relies on comedy.
"Our two comedy releases that we've put out in the last twelve months have sold better than all the other records we have put out in the last 12 months, combined," says the President of Kill Rock Stars, Portia Sabin. "It's pretty wild!"
That's a big change for Kill Rock Stars, which released albums from noted music acts like Sleater Kinney, Bikini Kill and Elliot Smith. This week, the label released comedian Cameron Esposito's critically praised new album, Same Sex Symbol.
That comes as other indie labels are taking a similar tact. For example, record label Sub Pop, which first made its mark with the bands Nirvana and Soundgarden, is now home to comedian Sarah Silverman, while the label Drag City has signed comedian Neil Hamburger.
Portia Sabin joined Marketplace's Lizzie O'Leary from the Kill Rock Stars office in Portland, Oregon, to talk about comedy and the future of the recording industry.

A catalog of strange market turns
Stock markets are, by definition, volatile. They go up and down at a moment's notice and sometimes, it seems, on a whim. Sometimes it's politics that makes the market move; sometimes it's war ... sometimes it's just the weather.
Sometimes, though, it's something truly odd. Watching the stock markets every day is part of our job at Marketplace, as is gathering opinion from traders and investors about what's making them volatile. So we are going to start cataloging some of the stranger things that have been blamed for making the market move.
In the 1600s, tulips caused one of the more memorable market reversals. The event became known, infamously, as "Tulpenwoede."
Prices of tulip bulbs skyrocketed as wealthy merchants competed to create the most beautiful gardens, filled with exotic varietals of these trendy flowers. A futures market for tulips was even created, and investors investors put up their houses as collateral as they rushed to buy the best and most rare bulbs.
Just before the crash, one type of tulip bulb was priced at 5,500 guilders per bulb. That's about $55,000, in today's money, according to some calculations. Yes, for a single tulip bulb. No one is really sure what caused the market in tulip bulbs to reverse, but reverse it did, with a resounding thud in February 1637, leaving many investors bankrupt.
2010: Fat Finger
On May 6, 2010, the stockmarkets crashed...hard. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed almost 1,000 points in seconds, in what's now known as the "Flash Crash." It wasn't long before shares recovered most of the ground they had lost, but the market closed down that day. The sudden downward bounce had the financial world scratching its collective head over what had gone wrong.
There were plenty of theories, but here's one that deserves a highlight: You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you realize you accidentally hit "reply all"? Well, multiply that by a billion, and you can guess what one particular trader was feeling on the afternoon of May 6. A rumor spread that some unfortunate person might have accidentally entered an order to sell a billion shares when he meant to sell just a million.
The "Fat Finger" theory, if you will.
In the end high-frequency computer trading got most of the blame, although defenders of HFT say that while computers may have made the market move so fast, they helped it recover quickly, too. The jury's still out on what the trigger for the sell-off might have been. Either way, exchanges were directed to implement "circuit-breakers," to halt trading when a market or asset went sharply up or down.
How investors are profiting off a 'rentership society'
For 25 years, Kathi Cobb has lived in Cincinnati's East Price Hill, on a block packed with wooden frame houses and miniature lawns.
"We all went to the same church. The kids would play outside," she says. "It was more of a neighborhood."
Then came the housing crisis. The Cincinnati Enquirer used a nearby block to tell the story: "First came the 'For Sale' signs, from one end of his East Price Hill street to the other, as investors and long-time residents tried to bail out of the crashing real estate market a few years ago. Then came the foreclosures, more signs, more foreclosures and, finally, the exodus."
"I don't think anybody's in that one. And there's nobody in that one," says Cobb, pointing to houses across the street. "We're the only ones left."
But now there are signs that East Price Hill is entering a new, uncertain phase. A California-based real estate investment trust called Raineth Housing bought the house across the street. It's one of more than 230 in the city that Raineth intends to turn into a rental. Elsewhere in the city, more than 1,000 houses have been purchased for the same purpose by much larger companies, American Homes 4 Rent and American Residential Properties. They all represent a trend over the last few years called "REO-to-rent," in which investors buy foreclosed properties and turning them into rentals.
"The way the institutional investors think of this is: 'What is the most attractive investment I can put in my portfolio?'" says Laurie Goodman, director of the Housing Finance Policy Center at the Urban Institute. "And when home prices fell to very distressed levels they were able to buy up properties, rehab them and rent them out and achieve a very attractive return on their investment."
Investors capitalized on their ability to buy cheap houses, but to rent at relatively stable market rates. "Rents are much more stable than property values," says Doug Bendt, director of mortgage-backed securities research at Deutsche Bank. "Throughout the recession, on the national level properties values fell by about 30 percent; rents fell only a few percentage points."
Some investors also see this as a long-term trend. "The combination of falling home prices, limited mortgage credit, continued liquidations, and better rental options is fundamentally changing the way Americans live," an influential Morgan Stanley report in 2011 said."We believe this change is only beginning, and is moving the country towards becoming a Rentership Society."
In the last few years, this prospect has attracted institutional investors including hedge funds, private equity firms and real estate investment trusts. Together they have spent billions of dollars on single-family homes with the intention of turning them into rentals. The largest six firms alone have spent $18 billion and purchased more than 115,000 homes, according to analysis by Deutsche Bank in August.
"They've sort of standardized the operation," says Goodman. "So, everyone gets 'Gray Carpet Number 53.' Everyone gets this type of refrigerator, this type of toilet, this type of oven.'"
Questions have been raised about how effective this industrial landlord approach is, often in reference to Invitation Homes, an entity created by private equity firm Blackstone that is the largest player in this market, with more than 45,000 houses.
"It's important, though, not to lose sight of the fact that this is a very small proportion of the rental stock," says Goodman. "Just to put this in perspective, over the last six years something like 4.5 million homes have been converted from owner-occupied into rental properties, and the institutional investors have maybe purchased 200,000."
In other words, the vast majority of the new single-family rentals are owned by much smaller-scale investors.
In Cincinnati's East Price Hill, Ken Smith runs a community development corporation Price Hill Will. Their community development work includes buying neglected buildings that are unattractive to investors, and rehabbing them into beautiful homes. Smith shows me a stately yellow two-story on Beech Avenue. "The street has a lot of potential, and has a lot of investment," he says.
But two blocks away, the landlord is Raineth Housing, which has bought more than 100 homes in the neighborhood. On a walking tour of nearby Raineth-owned properties, we find primarily houses that don't appear to have been rehabbed. (Raineth says 41 of the 235 homes they have purchased in Cincinnati are awaiting rehab.) The condition inside is difficult to judge, but the properties' exteriors include garbage strewn across overgrown lawns and peeling paint. "It is certainly empty, with the number, looks like on a Sharpie, written on the front of the house," says Smith of a property on Beech Avenue.
"We want others to invest in the neighborhood, bring capital to the community to help rebuild it," says Smith. "But we know there's good investment and there's bad investment."
Smith has managed property before, and can't fathom how an out-of-state company will adequately rehab and maintain so many homes. "It's mind boggling for me to think how one would manage that," says Smith.
Moreover, he's concerned that since the entire business model relies on the gap between rental price and home value, that to squeeze high returns from monthly rents, the incentive will be to skimp on long-term repairs. "Let's face it you could put $70,000 into a home and get a certain amount of rent, or you could put $30,000 into that home and get maybe less rent, but a better return on the 30,000 dollar investment," he says.
"I can understand people's concerns," says Ed Renwick, founder and CEO of Raineth. "But from my perspective, they don't really make sense. So what they're worried about is that we're going to bring $50 million into these communities and then not care about the long-term value of the assets we bought with $50 million?"
Renwick says Raineth is spending an average of $6,000-$8,000 to rehab the properties it has purchased in Cincinnati (purchased at prices that range from $0 to $35,000). He emphasizes the company's intentions to provide affordable housing and bring money to the local community, and insists that even his financial incentives are long-term. "If I'm getting a 12 percent return on my asset [the return [promised to Raineth's investors], it's going to take me ten years before I've gotten repaid on the asset," he says. "The average American lives in a house for seven years, so I'm already making a bigger commitment than the average American."
Renwick emphasizes comparing his ownership with the state of the properties before. "We are taking homes that are empty. We are taking houses that are broken," he says. He also welcomes a comparison with existing local landlords. "Those local landlords are great people, but they're significantly cash-constrained. And a cash-constrained landlord is a bad landlord."
Cincinnati will find out soon whether an investor-constrained landlord is better. Raineth aims to buy 25 houses a month here. American Homes 4 Rent, which has purchased more than a thousand homes in the city, was recently named the fastest growing housing company in the country by Housing Wire, with revenue growth of 3,000 percent in 2013.
Three fish and the Supreme Court
What does Enron have in common with a fish?
The Supreme Court of the United States is considering a case that shows how a business far very different from yours might affect you in ways you never imagined.
After Enron collapsed, a law called Sarbanes Oxley made it a crime to destroy documents, and other tangible objects. It turns out a 'tangible object' might include fish.
A commercial fisherman in the gulf coast named John Yates caught a bunch of grouper under the legal size limit. Fish and wildlife agents ordered him to bring them to a nearby port, and instead, Yates allegedly tossed them overboard instead and was charged with destroying tangible objects under Sarbanes Oxley.
We wanted to get a sense of how this case is playing in the Gulf, so we spoke to Dean Blanchard, who runs a seafood company in Grand Isle Louisiana.
Beyond bookshelves: Meet your public library's robots
Robots can help build cars, they can vacuum your floor, they can even engage in galactic war . . . well, maybe eventually they can do that. But can you check one out at a local library?
Not yet, but close.
The public library in Westport, Connecticut is set to debut its two latest acquisitions this weekend: the robots Nancy and Vincent.
Standing two feet tall, with Buzz Lightyear-like bodies, they can walk, talk and even do Tai Chi in sync with each other, while playing their own music. They're amazingly humanoid, smooth and graceful, as they slowly balance and sway on their 24 joints—not as many as a human, but enough to mimic quite a bit of what we can do.
They also gesture a lot when they talk. "I use my hands above all to express my emotions," Vincent chimes in – literally. There's a two-tone beep to announce he has something to say.
These fancy toys sound intelligent and responsive, but they can only respond to and do the things that someone programs them to do. And that's why they're at the library. Alex Giannini is the manager of digital experience at the Westport Library. He says the library has "an 8- to 80-year-old approach to things, where anyone, at any age, at any level can come in and learn how to program these guys."
Giannini says patrons will be able to use the coding language Python to program the robots do all kinds of things—like read stories to kids, dance, do a sales pitch. The library is also thinking about doing robot poetry slams. "Because they gesticulate like we do," says Giannini.
Maxine Bleiweiss is the library director. She says good libraries have always been on the cutting edge. In the '80s, she says, libraries were the place most people put their hands on a computer for the first time.
"Fast-forward to three years ago, we put 3-d printers in our library," Bleiweiss says, "and so it is with robotics: We believe robotics is the next disruptive technology that people need to know about."
If we fast-forward enough, could robots disrupt the need for a librarian?
Bleiweiss says no. "The librarian as curator of information has never been needed as much as it is now, because there's so much information out there." It's an argument to keep librarians on the cutting edge, and keep them curating, because ... information overload, right?
"Everybody is a little crazy," Vincent responds.
The stock market has been, and always will be, volatile
There are some parts of the stock market you don't need to be a analyst to understand.
"Markets, I don't care what market it is, they just don't go up in a straight line," says Scott Wren, a senior equity strategist with Wells Fargo Advisors.
It's in the nature of markets to give investors a bumpy ride, he says. But this recent ride has been more bumpy than most, and investors have a lot of reasons to be worried. In addition to the bad news from Germany, which Wren says is key, there's Ebola - and more.
"What's the Federal Reserve going to do with interest rates; how much is China going to slow?" says Wren.
Quincy Crosby, a financial market strategist at Prudential Financial, says this is how the stock market is supposed to work.
"You know what, it's like a GPS system – calculate, recalculate, recalculate yet again," she says.
She says this time investors are recalculating because of the Federal Reserve's plan to stop buying bonds, and we might see yet another recalculation when we get more company earnings next week.
"The next big catalyst for this market, potentially, if we get good news, is what companies start telling us," she says. "Are they seeing demand for their products, are they seeing demand picking up?"
Good numbers could mean the market will come roaring back – or not. Either way, placing a bet is risky.
"Remember," says Crosby, "this isn't a science. A lot of people think it's a science – it's as much an art form as it is a science."
As for Scott Wren, he's feeling optimistic, and his bet is that the market will come back. It's only 4 percent off, he notes, from its all time high. But, he admits, the stock market is a gamble.
"If you look at the stock market and try to figure out what's driving it, it's usually some combination of fear and greed."
What could slow U.S.'s surging oil output? Low prices.
There was a strong consensus in the U.S. oil industry that the drop in oil prices would spur Saudi Arabia to cut production and bring prices back up. That consensus was wrong. Instead Saudi Arabia cut prices, putting North American oil production in a bind, and has contributed to the downward spiral of oil prices.
In much of North America oil comes from shale, which has to be fracked. Water and chemicals are pumped into the well to create pressure that forces oil out of the ground. It's a lot like squeezing a sponge, says Robert McNally, president of the Rapidan Group. At first a lot of liquid comes out.
"You get a rush up front," he says. "Your initial production rates are very high compared to conventional oil."
After that initial squeeze, output declines sharply says McNally, "so in order to keep the overall flow, you are having to drill and drill and drill."
All that drilling is expensive. This is how shale oil got the nickname "tough oil." If the price of oil continues to drop — it's currently at $86 a barrel — it could make tough oil too expensive to drill for.
"You could pretty easily put out a number of, say, $75 a barrel. That's kind of your break even when you consider all of your development, production costs, etc.," says Chad Mabry, an analyst at MLV & Co.
Some regions in North Dakota and Texas — the "sweet spots" Mabry calls them — would likely remain profitable even if prices continue to drop. "I think one of the first places that you are going to see budget cuts are more on the exploration side of things."
The demand for new wells would likely drop significantly if prices stay low, but that is largely dependent on outside forces.
"It always comes down to what Saudi Arabia's decision is," says Mabry. "That's going to be the real driver on where prices go."
Get rich by giving up lattes? Not so fast
There's a long-percolating concept among personal finance gurus: The money you spend on small purchases, say, a latte every day or so, could be redirected towards huge savings. Think hundreds of thousands of dollars over 30 years, if invested. Proponents have included Suze Orman, Penelope Wang of Money Magazine, and most notably author David Bach.
But another personal finance writer, Helaine Olen, says no way.
"We weren't spending more money on luxuries," Olen said of the late 1990s. "We were spending less."
Using herself as an example, Olen says the cost of coffee and other small expenses pales in comparison with the rising cost of health care, education, and housing.
"Think of it this way: at $5 per latte, I would need to give up 260 caffeinated drinks per month to pay my monthly health insurance bill."
She recently traced the history of the concept in a Twitter essay.[<a href="//storify.com/annielowrey/the-latte-factor" target="_blank">View the story "The Latte Factor" on Storify</a>]
Nielsen finds a pretty giant glitch in its ratings
The good people at Nielsen, the television ratings company, said today they've discovered a glitch. Bloomberg reports some of their ratings have been wrong for oh...the past six months or so.
People were counted as watching one network when, in fact, they were watching a different one. Looks like ABC was the big winner.
Nielsen ratings are, of course, worth bazoodles of dollars because that's what advertising rates are based on.
Why are so many holidays on Mondays?
If Columbus Day for you is a time to stock up on towels - or better yet, get out of town - you're in good company. And you're doing exactly what Congress wanted you to do back in 1968, when it passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act: spend money.
"Well there was very strong support in Congress, but the initiative came from the tourism and vacation interests," says Gerald Friedman, economics professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Groups like the hotel industry lobby and the American Automobile Association, he says. You could see why hotels that would normally be dead on a Sunday night would be all about this. "It was a very conscious decision that we wanted to promote vacations and leisure, and people felt a three-day holiday would lead to more traveling," he says.
And it has. During a typical three-day weekend, AAA estimates more than 34 million Americans hit the road. And even if people don't leave town, there's always the mall. "So we have things like Veterans Day sales, we have Columbus Day sales, we have Memorial Day sales," says John McNamara, senior education fellow at the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.
The National Retail Federation doesn't track sales over Monday holidays, but they're big shopping days.
McNamara says there's a downside: people are so busy spending, they forget why they have the day off. They don't think about what makes the day historically significant. That's one reason Veteran's Day was shifted back from a Monday holiday to its traditional Nov. 11.
So, if this stuff isn't set in stone, maybe more three-day weekends are in store. "I'm kinda waiting for them to move Fourth of July to a Monday," McNamara laughs.
But he says don't plan that Fourth of July weekend getaway just yet, because it's not likely to change.
Weekly Wrap: Surprise, surprise (oh wait)

The numbers for October 10, 2014
A military analyst at American University has revised his estimated price for the U.S.-led fight against ISIS to $40 billion per year.

PODCAST: Taking a mental health day
First up, more on the key indexes were mixed in early trading today following the awful performance of Thursday. Until recently, market participants looked at the stronger dollar buying more oil, pushing the price of energy down and figured these were good things for profits and household budgets. Suddenly, sentiment turns, and the strong dollar and cheap oil are bad things because they underscore the weakness of economies from Europe to Asia. Plus, it's World Mental Health Day, so we thought it would be a useful moment to check in on mental health in the workplace. The CDC estimates that depression alone can cause 200 million lost workdays, costing companies as much as $44 billion every year. And on Sunday, Bolivians go to the polls to vote for president. Evo Morales, is running for a third term and is the favorite to win. In the past decade, Bolivia's been praised for cutting poverty, but it still remains one of the poorest countries in the hemisphere. Morales is Boliva's first president of indigenous heritage and a pillar of his leadership has been to improve the lives of indigenous communities, which are a majority.

How companies help workers with their mental health
It's World Mental Health Day, a good opportunity to check in on mental health in the workplace. The CDC estimates that depression alone can cause 200 million lost workdays annually, costing companies as much as $44 billion every year.
Does that motivate employers to offer more mental health benefits? A 2014 survey from the American Psychological Association found just 45 percent of employees say they get help from employers to meet their mental health needs. But the APA's Dr. David Ballard—who works with businesses closely—says company attitudes are changing.
"I think we've shifted from a lack of awareness and a lack of understanding to a desire to address it, but not always knowing how to do that," he says
Case in point, Ballard points to the small Wooster, Ohio, company Certified Angus Beef, which may be on the cutting edge of mental health wellness.
Once a month, the firm brings in a clinical psychologist that staff can see on company time. On top of that, Certified Angus Beef offers employees and their family members up to three free visits a year.
"When we really looked at what people struggle with is all the stress, all the life stress," says the company's director of human resources, Pam Cottrell. She says in three years, utilization of services has tripled.
Ballard says what he likes about the Certified Angus Beef's approach is that it's easy, and affordable. The company spends less than $10,000 a year on the benefit.
A new designation for the San Gabriel Mountains
On Friday, President Barack Obama will declare 346,000 acres of forestland just north of Los Angeles as a national monument.
Supporters hope the move will free up both federal and private money that they say is needed to take better care of the San Gabriel Mountains forest area, a popular recreation destination with millions of visitors a year.
"This national forest is one of the most visited places in the country," says Daniel Rossman, who as chair of the group San Gabriel Mountains Forever has been working for more than a decade to get more resources for the forestland.
Some who live near the forest have not wanted a monument designation, because they are concerned that it will come with restrictions, such as limits on land use.
But Rossman says the designation is necessary, because the Forest Service has had trouble keeping up with all the trash and pollution that comes with so many visitors.
"I've personally done clean-ups, picking up dirty diapers and old pieces of clothing," Rossman says, adding that the mountains are responsible for 30 percent of the Los Angeles region's water supply.
California Congresswoman Judy Chu says the president's executive action will circumvent the current gridlock in Congress.
The monument designation will not only bring more personnel and federal money to the forest, it will also allow for private fundraising, says Chu.
"You can have a private-public partnership. And already we have non-profit and private donations that have been pledged," Chu says.
The Forest Service will be able to set the privately-raised money aside for the San Gabriel Mountains monument; Something it couldn't do for a national forest.
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Judy Chu had been working on Congressional legislation for more than 10 years. Though she supports the change, she has not been advocating for it for that long.
