The New Orleans Hornets are hoping to continue playing the way they did Sunday night when they scored a season-high 62 points in the lane, got 20 points from rookie Anthony Davis and a season high eight assists from Eric Gordon in their 110-95 victory against the Sacramento Kings. But the Nets are a much tougher opponent than the Sacramento Kings. The Nets have the fifth-best record in the Eastern Conference, but have lost two straight and five of their last 10. The game will feature Hornets center Robin Lopez matched against twin brother, Brook Lopez, for the first time this season.
New York Times
Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez has not played in the fourth quarter in three of the past four games.
New York Post
Nets guard Joe Johnson questionable for Tuesday night's game because of sore left heel.

Beck: The Bible Tells Us 'Everything We're Supposed To Know' About Politics
All week, Glenn Beck has been very torn over the showdown between the federal government and supporters of Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy because his anti-government views make him inclined to side with Bundy and his supporters, but he cannot bring himself to do so because some of Bundy's supporters seem very intent on fomenting a violent conflict with the government.
On last night's television broadcast, Beck brought David Barton onto the program to discuss the situation and dispute the anti-government activists who are justifying their calls to take on the federal government by likening the Nevada standoff to the beginning of the American Revolution in 1776.
"It's not even close to that," Beck said. Barton readily agreed, absurdly declaring that "when people say that, that proves to me they've been through a government education system that taught them lousy history":
The discussion of the ranch standoff was rather perfunctory as Beck changed topics and began heaping praise upon Barton's "The Founders' Bible" as an extremely important resource for addressing all of our contemporary political problems.
After Barton ran though his standard litany of lies about how various components of our society and government all came directly out of the Bible, Beck said that in reading the Bible cover-to-cover over and over again, he has become "amazed at how much a book of revolution that [it] really is."
"We disconnect this from politics," Beck said of the Bible, but "this gives us everything that we're supposed to know":

Awesome news! Congratulations!
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
About time.
" The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." Thomas Jefferson
quoted : The governor also signed legislation to limit attorney fees in lawsuits - a bill that conservatives said would end frivolous lawsuits but which Democrats said also would end many lawsuits with merit.
Under the intruders bill, courts in most criminal and civil matters would presume that people using deadly force had acted reasonably against anyone unlawfully inside their residence, business or vehicle, whether the trespasser was armed or not.

I would believe that the idea that retreating from your property, not confronting the criminal or not just letting them have their way was a twisted Liberalesque attempt to "lower" shootings during crime. You know if you can't shoot someone busting into your home, then nobody gets hurt. Really?
Well their idea that the law abiding homeowner would be the criminal when shooting and possibly killing a perfectly good home invader anyhow. They sure hate it when you monkey with their reasoning and go ahead and make those Castle Doctrine laws that will make the streets run red with blood.
It's about time the law stays on the side of the law abiding and makes the consequences of a criminal activity null and void for the victim and dumps it squarely right where it should be, on the criminal.

Well I have to agree, longtime coming and they pass Minnesota in less than 6 months. If Walker gets recalled tell him to move to Minnesota, then we can send Dayton to Wisconsin.
Don't worry, I'm totally not sure what to call residents of Alabama.
I am very happy that this passed. I have had no issues with people trying to get into my place, but if someone ever does come to do me harm it is one less thing I have to worry about.
We used to have a duty to retreat and that just made me scratch my head. It's my home, my doors are locked, why should I have to run and hide?
CCW and Castle in less than two months. Awesome!

The Sweetgrass Festival at Mount Pleasant's Waterfront Park is underway. Earlier this afternoon, people weaved through the tents at the park that sold jewelry, food, and sweetgrass baskets.
A stage showcased performances of gospel songs and praise dances as well as African drumming and dancing. Some kids beat the heat by plunging down a blow-up water slide. Others cooled off with smoothies or Italian Ice.
The festival continues throughout the day until 8 p.m. Admission and parking is free. Alcohol is not being sold on the site and animals, skateboards and bicycles are not allowed.

Tesco Bank launches first range of mortgages
Do you want to save this article to read later? You need to be signed in for this feature
Tesco has finally made its move into the mortgage market. But are the mortgages on offer any good?
The mortgage industry has been waiting with baited breath for Tesco Bank's launch into the mortgage market.
Would the UK's biggest supermarket bolt out of the blocks with a range of deals that grab everyone's attention? And would it offer some real competition to the dominant six big lenders?
Well, the answer right now is a resounding no.
Tesco's new deals are definitely not medal prospects, although they are decent enough. So what does the starting line-up look like?
The new deals
Tesco is offering two-, three- and five-year fixed rates and a two-year base rate tracker at three different loan-to-value tiers – 70%, 75% and 80%.
So you need at least a 20% deposit or equity to access any of Tesco's mortgages. This is interesting in itself as it effectively excludes many first-time buyers who simply cannot muster such a large deposit for their first property.
The best Tesco rates all come with a pretty standard £995 fee:
70% loan-to-value |
75% loan-to-value |
80% loan-to-value |
Two-year tracker |
3.19% |
3.39% |
3.99% |
Two-year fix |
3.19% |
3.59% |
3.99% |
Three-year fix |
3.69% |
3.99% |
4.39% |
Five-year fix |
3.89% |
4.19% |
4.69% |
Or borrowers can choose a reduced fee option of £195 which comes with a higher rate of interest:
70% loan-to-value |
75% loan-to-value |
80% loan-to-value |
Two-year tracker |
3.69% |
3.89% |
4.49% |
Two-year fix |
3.59% |
3.99% |
4.39% |
Three-year fix |
3.99% |
4.29% |
4.69% |
Five-year fix |
4.29% |
4.59% |
5.09% |
At the end of the deals the interest rate will revert to Tesco's standard variable rate of 4.24% - lower than the average SVR across all lenders, but on a par or higher than the SVRs of the biggest five lenders.
One important point to note is that the mortgages are only available from the lender through the internet and online, on a non-advised basis.
This will suit some borrowers, but certainly not all, particularly if you are not confident about your mortgage knowledge and need a helping hand through the process. Of course, it should be pointed out that the best mortgage advisers will still tell you if a Tesco Bank mortgage is the most suitable for you (even though they won't get paid commission).
Every little helps
There are a few decent perks to the new range. If you are a Tesco Clubcard holder you will earn Clubcard points as you repay your mortgage, collecting one point for every £4 on your monthly mortgage repayments. It's a decent benefit for those who shop at Tesco, but cheaper mortgages will give you more real cash in your pocket to spend at whatever supermarket you want.
However, one really useful benefit of the Tesco deals is the ability to overpay up to 20% of your balance a year without penalty. Most lenders allow you to repay up to 10% a year but, for those who can afford it, this is a great way to take advantage of low interest rates to pay down your mortgage and increase your equity stake.
Finally, those borrowers who take out the two-year tracker rate can move to any of Tesco's fixed rates without being subject to Early Repayment Charges (although a new arrangement fee will apply).
Contenders or pretenders?
The deals don't compare well to the best buys. The five-year fixed rates are at least 0.5% higher than the equivalent market leaders and borrowers with a larger 40% deposit can get bag rates at almost a full percentage point less – albeit with higher fees.
The two-year fixes can also be beaten and the trackers are equally mediocre. The Post Office offers a two-year tracker deal up to 75% LTV at just 2.89% with a £995 fee. Tesco's equivalent deal is 0.5 percentage points higher at 3.39%.
You get the idea.
A slow start
The initial reaction to Tesco's mortgages has been muted, perhaps because expectations were so high. But the lender says that it has launched straightforward, clear mortgage accounts, that don't require massive 40% deposits (like some best buys) nor have strings attached, like the need to hold a current account with the mortgage provider.
That's fair enough, but the deals can still be beaten by lenders with neither of those qualifying criteria.
Perhaps Tesco wants a soft launch so it can run in its systems and processes, although it has stated that these have already been comprehensively tested. Clearly being deluged with applications in the first week wouldn't be ideal for a new lender.
Maybe Tesco is simply unlucky to time its launch for the week in which a mortgage price war meant rates dropped to their lowest ever level, making the new deals seem less attractive than they would have done a fortnight ago.
However, I reckon they planned to launch in this lacklustre way. After all, it couldn't predict the rate war, but it did know that it would be launching in the middle of the Olympics and in the month when many people are on holiday, which suggests Tesco wanted to start off slowly.
It takes a lot of time, money and effort to get authorisation to become a mortgage lender, particularly in the current climate, so Tesco is in it for the long term.
It's probably just playing it safe for starters. After all, it's a marathon not a sprint and this is one lender that could ultimately prove serious and welcome competition to the big banks.

Finally, we tend to only give the initial rate of a deal in our articles, but any deal which lasts for a shorter period than your mortgage term may revert to the lender's standard variable rate or a tracker rate when the deal ends. Before you take out a deal, you should always try to find out from your lender what its standard variable rate is and how it will be determined in the future. Make sure you take all this information into account when comparing different deals.
Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

You may have heard about today's Washington Post op-ed by none other than the climate scientist hard-working Governor Sarah Palin. Titled "Copenhagen's political science", the piece suggests that President Obama not go to the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen because the science behind the conference isn't "trustworthy." While Mrs. Palin may know something about politicians leaving their jobs to other people, her science and understanding of the Swifthack email scandal leave something to be desired.
-- By 1Sky board member and Climate Solutions Policy Director KC Golden.
A specter hangs over the U.S. negotiators at the UN Climate Summit: what I'll call the Kyoto Syndrome. Conventional wisdom holds that the Clinton Administration, and Al Gore in particular, blew it by agreeing to the Kyoto Accords without building the foundation for the Senate to ratify it, which it never did. (See, e.g., "How to Prevent Climate Change Summit from Failure")
Let's start today's Copenhagen debrief with a one minute animated video blog produced for Copenhagen called WAKE UP! (VIDEO)
By Aimée Christensen, CEO of the Global Observatory.
A few days ago, a key group of ten senators sent a letter to President Obama presenting their advice to him as he prepares to travel to Copenhagen. Their advice is a very different message than the one note negative message of warning that the Clinton Gore Administration received from the Senate (95-0) prior to Kyoto, headlined by: don't sign something that doesn't include developing country commitments with the same compliance timeframe as developed countries.

Ideal for the pro on the go, the Cool-Lux Combo Light is a fixture born in Hollywood studios, then re-invented with new features for video/studio/location needs. The Combo Light's superluminal but gentle, even diffused light quality makes it perfect for film, video, product or portrait photography. The illuminating qualities of a soft light fixture are based on the principles of a "bounced" light where the lamp never faces the subject directly, unlike a softbox.
- A combination of Soft-Light and Broad-Light in one.
- Front face of this fixture measures 14 x 9 x 6" -- suitable for a 1-person portrait or small tabletop setup.
- More compact than a soft box and mounts in small areas.
- Provides shadowless, bright, cool light qualities.

It almost seems like Florida Panthers GM Dale Tallon was reading various "best remaining free agent articles" with serious envy this summer. Now that the team sale is official, they keep loading up, and TSN's Bob McKenzie reports that Ryan Whitney has been added to the mix at one-year, $900K.
The St. Louis Blues took a serious look at Whitney before releasing him from a professional tryout on Friday.
The Panthers have supplemented their roster in a serious way this week, bringing Whitney (assuming this is true), Tim Thomas, Tom Gilbert and Brad Boyes into the mix. All of them came at discounted rates, which seems like a happy accident thanks to the Panthers' circumstances and a brutal free agent market for UFAs.
Whitney, 30, isn't exactly known for shutdown defense, but he he has a 59-point season to his name. With Whitney, Brian Campbell, Dmitry Kulikov and Tom Gilbert in the mix, the Panthers should have some strong offensive options from the blueline.
Maybe Florida's done bolstering its lineup, but if you're an agent of a guy like Vinny Prospal, you might want to at least give Tallon a call.
- lowenni - Sep 29, 2013 at 9:10 PM
Definitely did not think I would be saying this about the Panthers this season…but with all these free agents and their young talent combined, they could be a dark horse playoff team. They're starting to build up some decent depth, but most of all it probably depends on Thomas' ability to perform.
- Brian - Sep 29, 2013 at 9:25 PM
They won't go far if they're depending on Whitney for much. Anybody who saw him play last year will tell you he can't handle NHL minutes anymore. The hands are there but with the ankle issues he's had he's skating in quicksand. Thomas has some pretty big question marks after his year off, Boyes has never had two good seasons in a row, and Gilbert is pillowy soft. I would still pick the Panthers to fight for the division bottom with Buffalo.
- lowenni - Sep 29, 2013 at 9:30 PM
I wasn't necessarily saying any one free agent of theirs is going to help them that much–combined, it's at least an upgrade over what they had (which was basically an AHL team). Thomas definitely does have question marks, and that's why I said his ability to perform is the biggest question. He could either be great or awful. What I was saying was that this team does have some solid offensive talent and they've gained enough depth that they could perhaps at least be a DARK HORSE playoff candidate. Huberdeau, Bdjustad, Kulikov, Barkov, Campbell, Versteeg, Matthias, Kopecky, Gubrandson. They've got a decent team.
- rushledger - Sep 29, 2013 at 9:38 PM
I think this is a good signing.

Thanks to this forum I am an recovering audiophile. It was a very humbling experience to do some double blind testing of 128kbit mps but a necessary one. The cool thing about this process is that I've come to enjoy the music again, not the sound. Thus I listen more with more enjoyment. Thanks to everybody here who have made this learning possible. I have also learned that most audio equipment is not that much different. But since my amp doesn't have a remote control I am in the market for a receiver or new amp. And I like the new features like Airplay and the like.
Now I have been reading a lot about different models etc. What sometimes comes up is the way the volume control is made - digital vs analog. Here are my questions: Should I be bothered? Is one really better? Will I hear a difference? Thanks in advance for your time! Stephen |

Wow, that is some interesting stuff to read here.
QUOTE This is BTW the means by which contemporary AVRs implement their volume controls, even when there is a DSP in the signal flow. Do I understand that correctly that your typical AVR volume control is rather bad? Audibly bad? Stephan |

text: Commentary & Opinion Women Need to Take Lead in Safe SexApril 26, 2010 "In 1993, the Food and Drug Administration gave its stamp of approval to a then-novel item: the female condom. At the time, AIDS awareness was growing. NBA star Magic Johnson had announced he was HIV-positive less than two years earlier. But the virus was still greatly feared and misunderstood. Condom use was urged as a matter of dire public health, and so women would finally protect themselves if their partner chose not to. "Yet according to the Center for Health and Gender Equity, in 2007 about 11 billion male condoms were circulated worldwide compared with 26 million female ones. Cost used to be an issue, but it is no longer: The $4 female condom has been replaced by the 82-cent one. "Though women have, indeed, come a long way, when it comes to sexual equality, we apparently still have a long way to go. But perhaps change is on the way. "Washington has been ravaged by HIV/AIDS, with the highest rate in the country: Over 3 percent of adults are infected, according to a 2009 epidemiology report. Over a quarter of those are believed to be women. Chicago has launched a female condom awareness campaign, too, and hopefully other cities will follow. The statistics point to the urgency. "The female condom is only one tool in helping women help themselves, but it's a critical one. It's high time that women have the opportunity to love their men while loving themselves just as much."

From the Publisher
The book has many strengths: it is written in an organised, logical user-friendly format with excellent accompanying graphics, giving detailed and precise descriptions in clear language. At the end of each chapter is an extensive reference list should the reader wish to explore particular topics in more detail. Written by a highly experienced manipulative therapist, this book would be a valuable guide to students and clinicians of various disciplines (including physiotherapists, manual therapists, chiropractors and osteopaths) involved in the mangement of neuromusculoskeletal dysfuncition. I cannot reccomend this text highly enough: I personally found its earlier edition invaluable as a student during practical exams and clinical placements. For those seeking more extensive information on treatment options Petty's earlier text, Principles of Neuromusculoskeletal Treatment and Management- A guide for Therapists, serves as an excellent companion.Physical Therapy Reviews, December 2006

Duplicate Detection in Probabilistic Data
Panse, Fabian and Keulen, Maurice van and Keijzer, Ander de and Ritter, Norbert (2009) Duplicate Detection in Probabilistic Data. In: 2nd International Workshop on New Trends in Information Integration, NTII, March 1-6, 2010, Long Beach, California, USA. (In Press)
205kB |
Abstract: | Collected data often contains uncertainties. Probabilistic databases have been proposed to manage uncertain data. To combine data from multiple autonomous probabilistic databases, an integration of probabilistic data has to be performed. Until now, however, data integration approaches have focused on the integration of certain source data (relational or XML). There is no work on the integration of uncertain source data so far. In this paper, we present a first step towards a concise consolidation of probabilistic data. We focus on duplicate detection as a representative and essential step in an integration process. We present techniques for identifying multiple probabilistic representations of the same real-world entities. |

Speaking of shops, our lovely acquaintance, Penelope Green, reports in the NY Times that the world famous design collective, Droog, is set to open a store in SoHo in New York within the next two weeks. They'll be selling their very unique pieces of furniture, as well as from other designers they admire, all of which certainly won't be for the everyday, Ikea-normalized home, nor are we thinking will they be very inexpensive to purchase. But still, certainly worth a trip once the store opens toward the end of the month, if just to gaze at what you might have in your home if a) you had lots of money or b) all of your furniture wouldn't gang up and beat this Droog stuff up in the middle of the night for being too cool. Here's a bit:
Speaking by phone from Amsterdam, [Droog co-founder Ms. Renny Ramakers] described a kind of exploded house made from bricks of blue foam, conceived by Jurgen Bey, the Rotterdam-based designer. Pieces of this structure will sprout from the SoHo showroom's floor: a door here, a chimney there, a balcony in another corner. Droog products will perch on top or nestle within these deconstructed blue bits, and if you like the bits — a section of that balcony, for instance — you can buy them, too.
Limited info is also available on Droogs' site, which is likely to have more once they open.

Waiting For Next Year
Last updated 11/16/14
It's tough to play the offensive line in this league. I think he also has crossed those hurdles as you go through the offseason. This will be his first game as a pro. I anticipate he's going to battle. I anticipate he'll have a winning performance. If he makes mistakes along the way, we'll get them fixed and keep moving. [...] I think he's a guy that started and played in almost every single game in his college career. He's gone through this getting ready to play process. He's played a lot of snaps. I think that gives me a little bit more comfort than a guy that came in and maybe was a one-year starter or there was something about his college history where he hadn't played all that much. I think he's draws on that a little bit. I think he's playing with some guys in that offensive line that are veteran players. Even though they might not be right next to him, although Shawn Lauvao has played a couple years now, I think they'll help him get through it. I just know by his personality that he's going to battle. That's what you need from an offensive lineman.
– Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shumur, Friday, on 2012 second-round draft selection Mitchell Schwartz. Schwartz had a very hot and cold preseason, experiencing considerable issues during the team's preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Browns' Week 1 opponent.

COLUMBIA — Linked arm in arm, members of the First Ward community gathered at Douglass Park on Sunday to create hope and inspire change in the black community. People spoke of their concerns, their values, their inspiration. They spoke of how they believe Columbia could change.
Community members gathered to celebrate the 13th anniversary of the Million Man March.
The march began as one of the largest demonstrations in Washington, D.C., to promote black family values and unity. Minister Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam hosted the march on Oct. 16, 1995. It is estimated that more than 1.5 million black men gathered.
"It wasn't about being a Muslim," said chief First Ward Ambassador Tracy Edwards. "It was about being a man and showing up. It wasn't just men. We all know that behind every black man was a strong black woman. Our auxiliary is women."
Robert Goldman attended the original Million Man March in Washington, D.C.
"It was the best experience of my life," Goldman said. "To see a million people in one area. Everyone was getting along, nobody was fighting. It taught me to be more positive, more community oriented and more directed towards my children."
The Columbia event was organized by the First Ward ambassadors. It brought together several members of the community to speak, including Almeta Crayton, Darrell Foster, Tracy Edwards, Wynna Faye Elbet, Rev. James Gray and Bill Thompson. A celebration of the Million Man March in Columbia was organized for the second time since the original event.
"The problem isn't in Washington," Crayton said of reaching minority youth. "The problem is going to change in Washington as we speak. The problem is Boone County. The problem is Columbia. The same folks need to change down here.
"You refuse to stand up in your own community," Crayton said. "They hope you don't stand up. ... Say you've had enough. If you're not reaching to help these kids then you're done for. You're done for. I want to know what's going to happen."
Other members spoke of ways to create change within the black community.
Nathan Stephens, director of the Black Culture Center at MU, spoke of his experience growing up in Columbia.
"Our kids aren't interested in the MKT trails and those kinds of things," Stephens said. "I remember growing up in this community. I would have never gone camping if it weren't for Major Bill Morgan of the Columbia Police Department, Officer Mike Hayes and a whole group of other black people. Someone took an interest and showed me something different. They didn't tell us something different, they showed us something different. They took us camping. To me that's what it takes. It takes someone really willing to do things to try and make a difference and help."
The event is based on the saying, "It takes a village to raise a child," Edwards said.
"Everyone blames the parents when the parents are kids themselves," Stephens said. "Who's helping the parent? Who's helping these youth fathers and mothers? You do what comes natural and unfortunately it comes by trial and error."
Edwards spoke of the importance of taking interest in the youth.
"We have grown folks down in the park gambling everyday. If you want to gamble, take a gamble on one of those children, on one of those kids. That's what you need to be focusing on. A black man cannot reproduce if they're in the penitentiary."
Thompson spoke of a study done about African elephant herds. Older, mature members of the herds were taken out, and the younger elephants terrorized the herd and trampled down crops. When they reintroduced the older elephants, it stabilized the herd.
"We need to be champions in our communities," Thompson said. "We need to get males back into the lives of our kids. We need to get males back into the schools, going to see about their children."

Jonathan Jones on art + Europe
The French government has spent millions replicating a cave of 35,000-year-old art masterpieces. But you wouldn't pay to see a Rembrandt copy – why is ancient art treated so callously?
This year marks the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. Artists of the time – such as Turner and Byron – showed the full horror of its slaughter. Let's not resort to fake empathy or cheap mawkishness now
Jonathan Jones: As the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall arrives, a British Museum exhibition is a reminder of the incredible richness of German arts and crafts – and shows us how history can have a happy ending
Jonathan Jones: The woman behind Ally Sloper, the feckless rogue who became a hero for a fusty age, is finally getting the attention her husband may have stolen
Jonathan Jones: These consummately beautiful sculptures demand a proper setting – and a trip to Athens has convinced me the Acropolis Museum is that place
Jonathan Jones: Russia is a profoundly artistic country, so a blanket refusal to tour work there would send a clear message to Putin over its anti-gay laws and military aggression
The protesters who toppled Lenin in Kiev joined the ancient tradition of angry crowds attacking figures of rulers. Beyond rage, what is behind this fatal attraction, asks Jonathan Jones
Jonathan Jones: Jim Starr claims Hirst's GQ shoot featuring a snake-haired Rihanna is ripping him off, but artists have been depicting Medusa for millennia – often far better than either of them
The profound painting swaps the role of viewer and canvas, showing us the world a monarch sees
Jonathan Jones: Like Beuys in the 70s or Duchamp in 1917, with Ai Weiwei we have the privilege of seeing a modern master in his moment
Jonathan Jones: The Vatican is a surprise entrant to this year's festival – but the City of Bridges is not short on great Catholic art
Jonathan Jones: Traditionally the rebirth of nudity in art was traced to classical influence, but long-lost images of the New World in a Pinturicchio fresco hint at a different provenance
Jonathan Jones: Research undertaken by the Van Gogh Museum reveals the master's favourite paints have faded badly since the 1880s
Jonathan Jones: British art museums must avoid the mistake the palatial Paris gallery is making in sending its treasures to the provinces
Jonathan Jones: A beguiling Freud, a dazzling Matisse, a modest De Haan – will these stolen paintings see the light again?
Jonathan Jones: I have a bone to pick with archaeologists searching a Florence convent for the skeleton of Leonardo's model. Their faffing detracts from the basic miracle of his handiwork
Southern Europe was left behind as global trade expanded in the 17th century – and Velázquez was there to capture the slump
Jonathan Jones: The continent that once dominated all others has lost its way – can it reclaim its curiosity and cultural ambition?
The discovery of a potential Leonardo painting behind a Vasari fresco in Florence is evidence of the enigmatic artist's ingenuity, writes Jonathan Jones
If any painting survives behind this Florence fresco, it is almost certainly The Battle of Anghiari
Jonathan Jones: With the EU in turmoil, David Cameron would do well to remember that King Arthur, hero of British folklore, has in fact enjoyed a long reign in European cultural history
Jonathan Jones: As the eurozone crisis rumbles on, we should not forget that it was ancient Greek literary and artistic forms that shaped the cultural unity of the European continent
Jonathan Jones: I could not detect even a whiff of panic about the euro's future on a recent visit to Florence. Maybe history has taught our continental comrades to have faith in economic unity
A new exhibition in Florence explores money, sin and the birth of capitalism in a city where status and religion battled to prevail, finds Jonathan Jones
Jonathan Jones: The prehistoric pictures daubed on the walls of caverns in the Ardèche show the first stirrings of our artistic consciousness
Jonathan Jones: The brilliant, terrifying Divine Comedy has always provoked artists to respond to its hardline moral absolutism
Jonathan Jones: While his compatriots were painting the minuteness of the real world, Rembrandt was looking beyond it, to crisis and drama
Jonathan Jones: I love Leonardo discoveries and theories. But not bizarre rumours about his famous sitter's identity
Jonathan Jones: The newly discovered haul of hundreds of Picasso works will provide unique snapshots of particular moments in his life
Jonathan Jones: Is Germany the greatest European art nation of the 20th century?
Jonathan Jones: Street protesters in France remind us of the country's great insurrectionist pedigree – but its artists took the revolutionary road to a different destination
Jonathan Jones: The five works taken from the French capital's modern art museum add up to a history of the peak of the 20th-century avant-garde
Jonathan Jones: Take a stroll through the Louvre's awe-inspiring Grande Galerie and its magnificent history paintings will make you rethink art

There's something about that "Open House" sign that acts like a magnet. Whether you're looking for a new place to live, keeping tabs on real estate in your neighborhood, or just angling for a sneak peek at someone else's private domain, the lure of an open door is strong indeed.
This week we explore homes in some of the best cities in the nation for retirement, as rated by Kiplinger.com. Using a wide range of considerations, including affordability, access to health care and tax perks, Kiplinger identified the best cities for retirees to call home. Below are just a few of the hot properties on display this weekend.
This week we explore homes in some of the best cities in the nation for retirement, as rated by Kiplinger.com. Using a wide range of considerations, including affordability, access to health care and tax perks, Kiplinger identified the best cities for retirees to call home. Below are just a few of the hot properties on display this weekend.
Open Houses for Nov. 19-20
Birmingham, Ala.
Open house: Sunday, Nov. 20
Location: 246 Big Springs Drive
Price: $375,000
Property details: At over 2,400 square feet, this one-story brick home isn't for empty nesters looking to downsize. But who says all retirees want smaller? And with taxes per capita at $700 below the national average, you can afford the extra space. Did we mention that older homeowners aren't required to pay property taxes in Birmingham?
See inside this property.

Tucson, Ariz.
Open house: Sunday, Nov. 20
Location: Not listed
Price: $1,795,000
Property details: Yes, Tucson fully exempts Social Security benefits, and yes, it also has a huge inventory of affordable housing -- but we couldn't help but show off this pricey desert stunner. This over 5,000-square-foot home has breathtaking views of the desert landscape and amenities to rival anything in the big coastal cities. But if it's not your cup of tea, browse any number of other Tucson homes for sale below.

Winston-Salem, N.C.
Open house: Sunday, Nov. 20
Location: 115 Konnoak Village Circle
Price: $98,400
Property details: See past the more popular city of Charlotte and give "The City of the Arts" a chance. Winston-Salem boasts a rich history of arts and entertainment and offers it up for a fraction of big city prices. Take this brand new three-bedroom home for under $100,000, for instance.

Manchester, N.H.
Open house: Sunday, Nov. 20Location: 107 Dallaire St.
Price: $229,900
Property details: Without sales, income, estate and inheritance taxes, Manchester is an ideal location for retired homebuyers. While there are certainly cheaper housing markets to be found, good luck finding a community with as many attractions -- and in such close proximity to New York and Boston -- as Manchester. Pictured left is a charming 1950s-era two-bedroom with cathedral-style ceilings and brand new roofing. Click through the photos to see the rest of the home's hidden gems.

Spokane, Wash.
Open house: Saturday, Nov. 19Location: 23 W. 36th
Price: $225,000
Property description: With gorgeous weather, beautiful landscapes and no state income tax to speak of, Spokane should rank high on any homebuyer's list -- especially those on a fixed income. This three-bedroom home includes refinished oak floors, arched doorways, coved ceilings, two fireplaces, and attractive built-ins throughout the home. Take the full tour in the listing below.

Knoxville, Tenn.
Open House: Saturday, Nov. 19Location: 101 Stone Bluff Court
Price: $234,900
Property description: For outdoorsy home buyer, Knoxville is just little more than an hour's drive to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Blue Ridge Mountains. And feel free to splurge at the gas station mini-mart -- Knoxville's living costs are among the lowest on the list. This recently built four-bedroom home puts you right in the center of the great wide open without breaking the bank.

Palm Bay, Fla.
Open house: Friday, Nov. 18Location: 268 Abello Road S.E.
Price: $81,000
Property description: Of course you were expecting a Florida entry on the list, but did you expect the less assuming city of Palm Bay? In the absence of a state income tax, the senior population has grown to more than 20 percent, according to Kiplinger. Seafarers take note: Palm Bay also has the second-busiest cruise port in the world, so setting sail to far off destinations is never out of the cards. Best of all, housing in Florida remains dirt cheap due to the lingering effects of the housing bubble. This three-bedroom home can be yours for just $81,000.
See inside this listing.

St. Louis, Mo.
Open house: Sunday, Nov. 20Location: 2 Graybridge Lane
Price: $999,000
Property description: What retirement list would be complete without some love for the Midwest? Starting in 2012, Mound City will cover 100 percent of income tax exemptions for Social Security benefits, according to Kiplinger. Combine that with a low cost of living and plenty of attractions, and you have one of the best all-around retirement cities in the nation. But that doesn't mean you can't find big-sticker real estate in this popular burg. Coming in just shy of a million, this four-bedroom looker might be more than many retirees are looking for, but once you see the interior you'll understand its inclusion.
