Massachusetts Releases Road Map to Zero-Energy Buildings In recent years, state governments have begun to push ahead of the Federal Government in efforts to limit energy use and put a lid on carbon-dioxide emissions. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed legislation in 2008 intended to reduce the state's carbon emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, through a complex effort that includes rules for automobile emissions and electricity generation as well as a toughening of building codes. In Florida, Governor Charlie Crist, who is friends with Schwarzenegger, has pushed his legislature to pass a step-wise toughening of that state's performance-based energy code for buildings, requiring new buildings to use 15% less energy last year (compared with the 2007 code), to cut energy use 20% by 2010, and to slash total energy consumption by 50% by 2019. (Check Builderonline for Ted Cushman's story, "Florida Sets Tough Energy Code Targets.") Now, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick is joining the parade — and upping the ante. In March 2008, at the New England Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA) meeting in Boston, Patrick appointed a task force to create a road map to zero-energy buildings in Massachusetts, with what task force member Emile Chin-Dickey calls an "unbelievably ambitious" goal: making all new construction in the state zero net energy by 2030. This month, the Massachusetts Zero Net Energy Buildings Task Force delivered its product: a 56-page report titled "Getting To Zero." (This link is a 5.79MB PDF.) The report lays out recommendations for achieving the zero-energy goal for commercial buildings, for government buildings, and for homes.
This net zero-energy custom beach home in Truro, Mass., was completed in 2008. Facing west across the Cape Cod Bay, it incorporates solar panels and geothermal heat pumps to produce more power than it consumes on an annual basis. Carbon-based energy consumption is limited to propane cooking equipment. For more information, see the ZeroEnergy Design website.

Like much of his company's professional team, Chin-Dickey was a member of Cornell University's "Solar Decathlon" team in 2005. After earning college and advanced degrees, several team members stayed together to found an architectural firm with a focus on maximum energy-efficient design and construction. Says Chin-Dickey, "Our working and professional relationships extend back to the very beginning of the Cornell project. We had a chance to conduct a lot of research, and also to get a feel for how the working relationship and the design process should work. And it was through that trial and error that we were able to develop the business model and the design process that we have today, and to bring that to the market after the competition ended." Now that the team has gone pro, says Chin-Dickey, "We staff architects and consulting engineers, and we can do custom residential design, as well as the mechanical and energy design. For our custom projects, we do both the architectural design and the mechanical and energy design. But for some clients who already have a design, or builders or developers who just want to make their building more efficient, we will provide just the energy design service — run an energy model and give them an idea of which are the most cost-effective building improvements."

Photo Credit: Stefano Paltera/Solar Decathlon Incremental improvements to new and existing buildings are well within reach in Massachusetts, says Chin-Dickey — even for conservative-minded builders who may be resistant to new ideas. "We've worked with the more progressive builders, but we've also worked with a lot of the guys in family-owned businesses that have been doing it for several generations," he says, "and with relatively minimal change to what they do, we're able to help them get down to a HERS 70 pretty easily." Getting all new homes to zero energy is a different story, though. "That's going to be very difficult to achieve," says Chin-Dickey, "and it's not going to be a single product or method that gets us there. It's going to be a continuous effort, and they've got to be coordinated." On the other hand, the zero-energy new home is achievable now, and with existing technology — but at a price. ZeroEnergy Design can point to at least one example: the Truro, Massachusetts beach house they designed that was completed in August, 2008 (shown above). Designed as a vacation getaway for several generations, this house is able to operate in a scaled-back mode with just a small master suite occupied, or open up to host the whole extended family during major get-togethers. Chin-Dickey says energy modeling predicts that the house will produce as much energy on site as it consumes each year — although he cautions, "We don't have a full year of operational data yet to prove that." Existing Homes Pose Biggest Challenge -- and Biggest Opportunity Paul Eldrenkamp, of Massachusetts remodeling firm Byggmeister, served as chair of the Zero Energy task force's residential committee. According to Eldrenkamp, showcase projects like the Truro house are one key to making zero-energy houses practical as a mass-market product — which is why the task force recommended that the state create incentives for homebuyers and builders to plan and build demonstration projects. But Eldrenkamp also points out that changing only the way new homes are built can only accomplish a limited amount of savings in the short run. "Deep energy retrofits" of existing homes, he says, offer much greater opportunity. "In a good year, there are 20,000 or 25,000 new housing starts in Massachusetts — and we've got 2.2 million existing dwelling units." Nationally, the average existing house scores about a 140 on the HERS rating scale — 40% worse than a code-compliant new home. But in Massachusetts, the task force estimated, the average existing house scores at 150 or worse — meaning that just bringing those houses down to today's new-construction baseline could save a third of the energy the state now expends on operating homes. Governor Patrick didn't instruct the task force to address the issue of existing homes, but the group took their effort in that direction anyway. "We had to," says Eldrenkamp. "It would have been irresponsible, it would have been pointless, to miss the retrofit market."
This simple house scored a -4 HERS rating, which means it produces more energy than it consumes. Built in Townsend, Mass., the home is cited as a case study in the "Getting To Zero" report. Source: www.mazneb.org Zero energy in a new home is a tough target. For an old-house retrofit, says Eldrenkamp, it's close to impossible. "At Byggmeister, we have not been able to get close to zero net energy with any of our retrofits. In the whole U.S., there may be a handful of retrofits that got to zero net. People out in Boulder, Colorado, have been able to do retrofits to zero net — but they've got 300 days of sunlight." On the other hand, stepwise energy improvements to an existing house can get close enough to zero that on a neighborhood scale, renewable energy production could theoretically make up the difference. "You want to think in terms of zero net energy neighborhoods, rather than zero net energy homes," Eldrenkamp suggests. "Get each home down to a reasonable low load, and then look for open space where you can put a solar array to handle part of that neighborhood's load." Even on a house-by-house level, progress may have to be incremental. "You have to phase the energy upgrades on the houses," Eldrenkamp says. "When you replace the roof, you add insulation to the roof plane. When you replace the siding, you add insulation to the walls." The home will only approach zero energy load at the end of that process, he explains. The next step for policymakers, Eldrenkamp says, is to identify the short-term milestones on the path to zero. "The most effective tool we could have at the national level would be a very clear target for what residential energy use could be," he explains. "If Obama said, 'Okay, for reasons of national security, energy independence, carbon stabilization, et cetera, this is our national energy budget, and this percentage goes to residential' — then the industry could take that and actually do something meaningful with it. Right now, we don't have a specific target in mind -- it's more sort of, 'Let's do some stuff and see what happens.' But if they gave the remodeling industry a target and said, 'Tell us the most cost-effective way to get to that target,' then we could have an intelligent conversation. Right now we can't have an intelligent conversation — because we don't know what the goal is."

Dictation Game:
In particular, I'd say this is a great game for advanced students, if you happen to be lucky enough to be teaching a gifted group who are very competitive. Once again you can draw upon your study materials and just say a sentence out load and have students try and write the whole thing down. Students hold up their hands when they think they have it. The teacher goes over and checks possibly crosses out mistakes. You can then keep repeating the sentence until somebody gets it right. It's really fun because you can choose to speak at high speeds to increase their ability to rapidly process speech, which is pretty similar to many situations in real life.

The allegations that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has wasted hundreds of millions of dollars on a host of bungled efforts to help evacuees were in a pair of reports to senators investigating the government's response to the disaster. (Related blog: Several hurricane reports coming down hard)
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, chairwoman of the Senate Homeland Security committee, called the reports a "fresh indictment" of FEMA. She said investigators uncovered "shocking examples of absent safeguards and wasted tax dollars."
Among them: FEMA spent $878.8 million on nearly 25,000 manufactured homes that the agency is paying to store around the country largely because its own regulations prohibit placing the homes in flood plains, such as New Orleans.
After hearing that FEMA issued thousands of checks and $2,000 debit cards to people whose identities and claims the agency never checked, Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., called it "infuriating."
The reports were issued by the Government Accountability Office and the inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security, which runs FEMA.
They came as the White House and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff vigorously defended their response after learning that New Orleans was flooding and people were in peril. (Related story: FEMA reforms unveiled)
On Friday, former FEMA director Michael Brown told Collins' committee that his warnings to the White House about the gravity of the situation in New Orleans went unheeded, and he said Chertoff failed to respond quickly because he was too focused on terrorism. Chertoff will appear before the Senate committee today in the final hearing of a months-long investigation into what went wrong.
On Monday, he lashed out. "I unequivocally and strongly reject this attempt to drive a wedge between our concerns about terrorism and our concerns about natural disasters," he told a meeting of state emergency management directors.
At the same meeting, President Bush's homeland security adviser, Frances Townsend, defended her boss. "I reject outright that President Bush was anything less than fully involved," she said.
She said she will release her own report on the Katrina aftermath by the end of the month, with 100 recommendations for improving government disaster response.
Chertoff announced a few changes Monday. They include plans to:
• Use satellites to track trucks carrying emergency supplies such as ice.
• Place FEMA employees at shelters so victims can apply for aid in person rather than by phone or the Internet.
• Create a database of preapproved contractors so cleanup can start quickly.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
Someone or some team in your organization needs to own the content initiative or it may be doomed to fail before it even starts. Existing titles include chief content officer (CCO), content marketing director, vice president of content strategy or, most common, the content marketing manager (CMM).
The person in this role is vital to executing the goals that you set out to accomplish, beginning with curating strong content. The CMM will be the one to round up resources, whether internal or external, and organize them into a systematic assembly line, as well as ensure that the content conforms to company policy and the ethos of the brand, says marketing strategist Edwin Dearborn (EdwinDearborn.com).
The website ContentEqualsMoney.com offers these tips for hiring a CMM:
Look for digital literacy. At bare minimum you will want a content manager that understands social networks, knows how to attract visitors to blogs and is familiar with the unique ecosystem of the Internet. You will want someone who understands how different parts of the Web connect to each other, and how to use certain platforms to bolster others.
Find someone who is literally literate. A good content manager has a clear grasp on the written word and how to manipulate it for different purposes. A background in content writing combined with a background in business is ideal.
Outsource to start. Many companies outsource their content needs, including the content manager, to reputable content writing services. This frees up time and provides an entire team of professionals. It also allows companies to see a content marketing team and manager in action before they hire one internally.

I nodded, and he led me four or five hundred yards along the edge of the reeds in a southerly direction.
This represents the most southerly extension of Subbiluliumas power.
After having set him on his way I took a southerly direction and emerged from the tule swamp.
As on the coast, northerly and southerly winds are the most frequent.
The southerly winds which, in the northern hemisphere, are hot and enervating, always produce an increase of wakefulness.
Thereupon he moved in a southerly direction down the steep and I followed him.
Ultimately the southerly force prevailed, but fortunately it blew itself out in a few hours, and we sailed into fine weather.
Next to the top of a knoll, the southerly slope of a hill is to be chosen.
Following the latter, being the largest, we found that it soon curved round, taking a southerly direction.
The prevailing wind has been southerly, with sometimes a little east.

Friday, 11:07am
Reno, NV
I haven't quite been myself these past couple of months…
… and I think I owe some folks an explanation.
Michele and I spent our tenth anniversary seeing specialists (including flying over to Palo Alto to hit up the Stanford teaching hospital) and doing our best to be as proactive as possible about a very tough situation here.
We've seen eleven doctors, and had a review board that included radiologists weigh in.
Now, at last, we've got a plan.
On Christmas Eve, Michele will go in for major surgery.
We both feel good about this decision, aided by the best medical opinion and advice we could muster.
Four to seven day hospital stay, three to six week recovery. We'll know more about what we're dealing with at some point during the recovery.
I've only told a few close friends…
… but the unreturned calls, and unexplained lapses in dealing with colleagues is catching up with me.
And now, of course, I'm going to be focusing on taking care of Michele for a couple of weeks. So I'll be even harder to reach, and even slower to respond.
We'll appreciate any good thoughts and good energy you can send our way.
Oddly, several of my colleagues and friends are going through similar gut checks. I just traded emails with Michel Fortin, who will be helping Sylvie recover from surgery during the same time frame. One of the other speakers in Dubai is about a week behind us in deciding on a surgery plan. An old buddy from high school just suffered his first heart attack.
It's like… wow.
I'm not asking for special favors. There's trouble enough to spare in the world right now.
Just cut me a little slack here for a few weeks while we deal with this.
I won't be entirely out of touch… but Michele is, of course, my first priority and will remain so.
I'm all fortified with Zen-level positiveness, and we've got a small army of friends and family eager to help out. It's nice to see how the ranks tighten up when necessary. Michelle and I agreed to stay upbeat, remain engaged with our professional lives, and laugh as much as possible whlie we're gearing up.
In a way, it's like training for a marathon. At some point, the day arrives, and you gotta take a deep breath and just get on with it.
If you take anything away from this, please realize how important it is to enjoy your friends and family during this holiday period. Maybe re-evaluate some old grudges, maybe make that call you know you should make. Say what needs to be said.
Life is wonderful and strange and unpredictable. As Halbert loved to say, "If you want to make God laugh, just make plans."
Live your days with gusto, and spread the good vibes around generously and with abandon.
I love all you guys.
Stay frosty,
John Carlton
P.S. Small piece of biz: I just found out several friends have been following the wrong dude on Twitter. I'm at www.twitter.com/johncarlton007.
No promises, but if I do post anything in the next couple of weeks, it'll be there.
In the meantime, don't neglect the archives here. Good time to catch up.
Be well.

The Cardinals have been affiliated with the Memphis Redbirds for the past 11 seasons, in addition to single-year stints in the city of Memphis in both 1937 and 1960.
In addition to the announcement of their affiliate extension, the Cardinals and Redbirds also announced today that Memphis will host the Cardinals in 2009 for a pair of exhibition games at AutoZone Park on April 3 and April 4.
"We (Cardinals) would like to offer a sincere thank you to Redbirds' owner Dean Jernigan for completing today's deal," said Mozeliak. "His passion for Memphis Redbirds baseball and the Cardinals is greatly appreciated. Special thanks should also go to Ray Pohlman and John Pontius of the Redbirds Foundation for their continued support."

10. NICKY WAGNER (National) Link to this
to the Minister for Climate Change Issues
What effort has the Government made to engage with the public on reducing New Zealand's greenhouse gas emissions and the setting of a target for 2020, to help conclude a global agreement at the Copenhagen conference in December?
Hon Dr NICK SMITH (Minister for Climate Change Issues) Link to this
The decision on 2020 emissions reductions is significant and will impact on all New Zealanders, so over the adjournment we went about engaging with New Zealanders on that 2020 target. Nine public meetings were held across the country, involving over 1,600 people. We also had three meetings with business groups, a national hui with Māori leaders, and last night held a webcast panel discussion. The feedback from those meetings will be considered alongside scientific, economic, and foreign affairs advice in making a decision on New Zealand's contribution to this global problem.
Is the baseline for setting the 2020 target the 1990 levels; if so, does the fact that New Zealand's gross emissions have risen by 24 percent since then not present a difficult challenge for New Zealand?
Hon Dr NICK SMITH Link to this
The member is correct, and that does need to be taken into account. Officials advise that on a business-as-usual basis, emissions would be 41 percent above 1990 levels by 2020. We are fortunate currently that our emissions growth is being offset by trees that were planted in the 1990s, but that situation will be reversed in 2020 due to the age class of our Kyoto forests, and that makes New Zealand's challenge in 2020 particularly difficult.
What additional reports has the Government sought to enable it to set a 2020 emissions target?
Hon Dr NICK SMITH Link to this
Firstly, there has been significant uncertainty over New Zealand's forest data, which has seen billion-dollar variations in our Kyoto balance. A major investment has been made in the Land Use and Carbon Analysis System, which utilises satellite imagery data to provide accurate data on forests, and this information will be available to Cabinet before it makes the decision. The Government has also commissioned specific analysis on the economic costs of various targets, and that report will also be used to inform the Government's decision on a 2020 target.
When the Government determines the 2020 target for New Zealand, what weight will it give to the significant public support expressed at the recent consultation meetings for a 40 percent target, relative to the weight to be attached to the other criteria that the Minister has outlined?
Hon Dr NICK SMITH Link to this
There was a range of views expressed at the meetings. For instance, in Hawke's Bay and in more provincial areas people were quite conservative, particularly those from the farming community, who were very nervous about the impacts of a bold target. There was an organised campaign by Greenpeace around a 40 percent reduction by 2020. Those advocating a 40 percent reduction need to explain to their fellow New Zealanders how that can be achieved, when New Zealand's emissions have gone up by 24 percent over the last 18 years.
Jeanette Fitzsimons Link to this
What plans does the Minister have to counter the misinformation repeatedly published in the rural papers, which has led many farmers to honestly believe that cows are carbon neutral and emit no greenhouse gases, that climate change is not human-induced, and that agriculture should be exempt because the world needs our butter and meat, and if he does not have any such plans, how will he set a target that will be supported by both town and country?
Hon Dr NICK SMITH Link to this
The Government, as part of the consultation on the 2020 target, has been quite upfront with the farming community about the fact that agricultural emissions are contributing to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions and to global warming. Equally so, I would say that the major players in the industry—and I include both the meat industry and the dairy industry—are actively and quite constructively engaging to see how the agricultural industry can constructively contribute to a solution. I say that we need to be cautious, though. Those who are promoting very bold targets need to recognise that the technological challenges around reducing emissions from agriculture are quite difficult for New Zealand.

"Halloween" is short for All Hallows' Eve, the evening before All Saints' Day. Originally, in the seventh century, it was celebrated in May or April, right after Easter. A few centuries later, All Saints' Day was shifted to November, a change that originated in Germany before spreading through the Roman Catholic world. The Orthodox churches continue to celebrate it in April, as did the Irish for a time, as Celtic mythology also held it to be the day when the barrier between the mortal and spirit realms grew thin, as they wanted to keep the holiday free from such associations.Though the origins and connotations of the festival stem from Samhain, most of the rituals and traditions currently associated with it have Christian roots, originating in the medieval and early modern period. Today, the general public recognizes it mainly as a secular holiday. Halloween was imported to the U.S. and Canada in the 19th century, a time that saw substantial [[TheIrishDiaspora Irish]] and Scottish migration to the New World. Back in this time, Halloween in North America was more of a celebration of Irish and Scottish national heritage than anything else, much like St. Patrick's Day for Irish Americans or Columbus Day for Italian Americans. It was celebrated with large feasts, apple bobbing, and divination games, as well as pranks and mischief. By the turn of the century, the "pranks and mischief" had become the defining feature of Halloween, turning it into a night of vandalism. As a result, the Boy Scouts and neighborhood groups started working to turn Halloween back into a safe celebration, organizing trick-or-treating events based around the old practice of "guising" to redirect the focus of the festivities away from violence. With Halloween now becoming a popular celebration outside of Welsh, Irish and Scottish neighborhoods, retailers seized upon a brilliant opportunity to have a new holiday to secularize and commercialize. While there was some commercialization going on before (mass-produced costumes were appearing in [[TheGreatDepression the 1930s]]), it really took off after UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, and it hasn't stopped since. Also, sometime around the TurnOfTheMillennium came the emergence of the HotterAndSexier, more {{Stripperiffic}} Halloween for young adults, opening up a whole secondary market for businesses to cater to.Today, Halloween is considered a major holiday in the U.S., Canada, Mexico (where it retains more of a Catholic bent, as it falls right before the ''Día de los Muertos'' celebrations), and the British Isles (where it is more strongly influenced by the older traditions, particularly in Ireland, Scotland, Northern England and Wales). It has also caught on in mainland Europe, India, the Philippines, and Japan through exposure to American media. Australians are coming under the influence of Halloween due to increasing Americanization but many reject it due to having nothing to do with Celtic-Australian culture and the heavy commercialization has come under scrutiny. Christians (and Pagans) in some parts of the world ignore the commercialized variety, considering Halloween separate from All Saint's Day/Samhain. They visit cemeteries to pray and place flowers and candles on the graves of their loved ones.The vernal counterpart for the celebrations would be UsefulNotes/{{Walpurgisnacht}}, which occurs on the 30th of April, or Beltane (May Day) on the 1st of May. For other related tropes, see the Halloween section of the HolidayTropes index.----!!In popular culture:[[foldercontrol]][[folder:Anime & Manga]]* Mentioned in one story arc in ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' where Maria loves Halloween because of its association with witches. She wants to go trick or treating despite the fact that it is not a practice done in Japan.* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'': ''TheMovie'' is set on Halloween.[[/folder]][[folder:Comic Books]]* A disproportionate number of Creator/ECComics stories take place on Halloween. To name a few: "Halloween!", "Sugar 'N Spice 'N...", "The October Game," [[/folder]][[folder:Films -- Animation]]* ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'', a stop-motion animated mash-up of both a Halloween ''and'' Christmas movie.* ''Disney/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad'': The "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" segment takes place around Halloween.[[/folder]][[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]* The [[SlidingScaleOfComedyAndHorror horror/comedy]] {{anthology}} film ''Film/TrickRTreat'' is based around the holiday, and proudly features many of the tropes surrounding it (including the popular conception of Halloween as an old Celtic pagan holiday).* The classic 1978 [[SlasherMovie slasher flick]] ''[[Film/{{Halloween 1978}} Halloween]]'' involves masked killer Michael Myers slashing his way through his hometown on (of course) Halloween. The other films in the subsequent [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} franchise]] all take place on the holiday as well.** ''Film/HalloweenIIISeasonOfTheWitch'' was an attempt to create an anthology series, but poor response scrapped these ideas and the producers have kept using Myers for the rest of the series. The plot of the film revolves around a man who believes that Halloween has grown too commercialized and has lost touch with its roots in pagan tradition, and seeks to restore that tradition by using his toy company and some Stonehenge-powered {{magitek}} to carry out a mass HumanSacrifice.* ''Film/MeanGirls'' has a scene where Cady goes to a Halloween party. The sluttiness of the women's Halloween costumes is both parodied and exploited for {{fanservice}}.* A Halloween party in ''Film/NightOfTheDemons1988'' and its sequels serves as a catalyst to demonic activity.* ''Kenny & Co'' follows a young boy and his friends' everyday lives over a few days leading up to Halloween. That gave the director [[Film/{{Phantasm}} some ideas]]...* ''Film/HocusPocus'' is set on Halloween.* ''Film/{{Halloweentown}}'', of course.* ''Film/{{Funsize}}'', a teen comedy which takes place mostly on Halloween night.* ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial'' takes place a few days before, during and a couple more days after Halloween.* ''Film/ArsenicAndOldLace'' actually takes place on Halloween, although the only real nod to the holiday comes early on when some trick-or-treaters visit (in the daytime!).* ''Film/LeftBank'' features Samhain as the climactic ending night of the film when [[spoiler:the human sacrifice is performed]].* ''Film/{{Casper}}'' happens around Halloween, ending at a Halloween party specifically.* ''Film/SpacedInvaders'' depicts an attempted AlienInvasion of a small town by a crew of incompetent Martians after they intercept a Halloween re-broadcast of Creator/OrsonWelles' ''Radio/TheWarOfTheWorlds''.* ''Film/MeetMeInStLouis'', which is set in 1903-04, has a Halloween segment. It depicts the turn-of-the-century "pranks and mischief" version of the holiday.* At the start of ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesOutOfTheShadows'', the Turtles pass by a Halloween parade.* The climax of ''Film/JackReacherNeverGoBack'' is set on Halloween night. On a meta-level, the film was released ten days before the holiday.[[/folder]][[folder:Literature]]* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': Harry's birthday is on Halloween. Which is unfortunate, as spirits tend to get restless that night each year. A plot point in ''Dead Beat'', as Halloween is the optimal night to set off the [[FantasticNuke Darkhallow]]. This is justified in ''Cold Days'' as this night is when the world of Nevernever and human realm are at their closest. [[spoiler:The result is the possibility for a mortal to become immortal and for an immortal to be killed this night. Immortals also use this night to recharge some strength by devouring mortals. It was the second or third Merlin who started the custom of dressing as creatures, so immortals would be unsure if their target was mortal or something else.]] And All Hallows Eve does not end at sunrise, but the first birdsong is sung.* Claire Byrd [[spoiler: the ghost who possesses Lori]] from ''[[Literature/AuntDimity Aunt Dimity Beats the Devil]]'', was born on October 31st.* ''Literature/HarryPotter'' frequently features Halloween festivities at Hogwarts, most notably in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone The Philosopher's Stone]]'' and ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince The Half-Blood Prince]]''. It is also worth noting that October 31, 1981 is the date that Harry's parents were murdered.* In Creator/SeananMcGuire's ''Literature/VelveteenVs'', Autumn is an alternate universe, and Halloween is a very powerful force in it.* ''The Halloween Tree'' by Creator/RayBradbury takes a group of boys through the history of Halloween as they try to save their missing friend. * In ''Literature/AmongOthers'', [[spoiler:the dead come back for a day on Halloween]].[[/folder]][[folder:Live-Action TV]]* {{Halloween Special}}s and {{Halloween Episode}}s, by their very nature.* In the Franchise/{{Buffyverse}}, Halloween is a day of rest for supernatural forces (vampires, demons, etc.), who view the whole celebration as tacky. ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' also did its requisite Halloween episodes in seasons 2, 4, and 6, with spinoff Series/{{Angel}} doing one in season 5.* ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryMurderHouse'' had the requisite Halloween episode (a two-parter, actually), but notable is how the actual holiday is treated in the show's universe. Specifically, it conflates Halloween with Samhain; it is the day when the barrier between the worlds of the living and the dead is briefly lowered, allowing ghosts to go out into and interact with the outside world. Patrick is able to go out to a [[WhereEverybodyKnowsYourFlame gay bar]] and, for one day, escape his loveless relationship with Chad, Moira visits her ill mother [[spoiler:and puts her out of her misery]], and [[spoiler:Tate is able to take Violet out on a date -- and is confronted by the ghosts of the classmates he killed (who had been stuck at the school)]].** ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryHotel'' follows up on this, by having the ghosts of famous {{serial killer}}s (including John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, the Zodiac killer, Richard Ramirez, and Aileen Wuornos) use Halloween to hold a "Devil's Night" party at the Hotel Cortez, where they discuss their crimes and carry out new ones against the hotel's hapless living guests. The party is hosted by the ghost of James Patrick Marsh, the man who built the hotel in the 1920s to serve as [[HellHotel a massive serial killer lair]], filled with hidden passages to dispose of the people he killed. It's implied that the whole party may have been just John Lowe hallucinating from the absinthe he drank, [[OrWasItADream but then again, maybe not]].* ''Series/{{Roseanne}}'' was famous for its annual Halloween episodes, and indeed was one of the very first sitcoms to do them. [[/folder]][[folder:Music]]* Music/{{Helloween}}: "Halloween" from Keeper of the Seven Keys pt. 1.** And, of course, their name.* Music/MichaelJackson's "Thriller" is a classic staple of the American Halloween tradition.** So is Bobby "Boris" Pickett's "Monster Mash".* "Halloween" by the Music/DeadKennedys* "The Haunted House of Rock" by Whodini is a HipHop celebration of classic Halloween motifs* "Everyday is Halloween" by Music/{{Ministry}}* "Do They Know It's Hallowe'en?" by the "North American Hallowe'en Prevention Initiative" is a charity single by a cast of performers.* "Spooky" by the Classics IV.--> ''Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams, so [[WackyMarriageProposal I'll propose... on Halloween.]]''* "Halloween" by Music/{{Aqua}}. The song is also inspired by [[SlasherMovie Slasher Movies]].[[/folder]][[folder:Video Games]]* ''VideoGame/CostumeQuest'' features trick-or-treating kids trying to stop monsters that are stealing candy.* ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' features a Halloween themed world named "Mad Monster Mansion". You even get to transform into a pumpkin in this world, one of the most popular symbols of the holiday.* ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' features Pumpkin Hill as a playable level for Knuckles. As the name suggests, it's a cutesy-horror themed stage with landmarks such as graveyards, churches, and , of course, mountains shaped like jack-o-lanterns. One of Shadow's (few) stages, Sky Rail, also takes place in Pumpkin Hill, but in daylight; a less demonic appeal.* ''VideoGame/DeathSmiles''.* ''VideoGame/HallowsEnd'' is an ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' [[GameMod ROM Hack]] that was made for a Halloween themed ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' contest featured on Starmen.net. Naturally, the plot of the game takes place on Halloween, and the original Halloween Celtic Mythology is a major part of the plot. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking As well as candy. Lots and lots of candy.]]* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'' takes place on Halloween and features the scarecrow as the main villain.* ''[[VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead The House of the Dead III]]'' takes place on October 31, [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture 2019]].* A few days after the Sole Survivor wakes up in ''{{VideoGame/Fallout 4}}'', on October 31, Diamond City will be decorated with Halloween decorations, and guards will complain about having to work on Halloween. Also, given that the nuclear apocalypse occured a few days before Halloween (October 23), many locations around the Commonwealth will have Halloween decorations up, especially if they have been untouched since the bombs fell (a detail curiously ignored in the previous games). [[/folder]][[folder:Web Comics]]* The concept of Hell houses is mocked in a ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'' strip [[http://somethingpositive.net/sp10042006.shtml here.]]* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' the extent of Lil' E's AmnesiacDissonance is shown at Halloween: [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-10-31 He goes trick-or-treating as an angel]][[/folder]][[folder:Web Original]]* ''Website/TheOnion'':** A one-two punch at both [[UsefulNotes/ChristmasInAmerica the commercialization of Christmas]] and Halloween's alleged pagan history by asking the question, [[http://www.theonion.com/video/in-the-know-has-halloween-become-overcommercialize,14284/ "Has Halloween Become Overcommercialized?"]]** [[http://www.theonion.com/video/how-to-find-a-masculine-halloween-costume-for-your,14378/ "How To Find A Masculine Halloween Costume For Your Effeminate Son"]]** [[http://www.theonion.com/video/how-to-get-your-son-to-remove-his-halloween-costum,30233/ "How To Get Your Son To Remove His Halloween Costume"]]* IMockery absolutely love this holiday, and all October the site is given a change in design with articles exclusively focusing on the holiday, what candy seems to be handed out this year, impressive (along with kitschy or downright terrible) celebrations throughout America, tributes to old horror games and movies, and the usual antics of the staff getting caught up in the holiday. They have a similar celebration for Christmas as well.* The Halloween parties at SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy in the Literature/WhateleyUniverse are only a part of a hellish night for the school, covered in two novels.[[/folder]][[folder:Western Animation]]* ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' have "The Smurfs' Halloween Special", even though it was actually an ordinary Saturday morning episode set on Halloween, which turned out to be Jokey Smurf's and Gargamel's birthday. A similar-themed holiday called Spook-A-Smurf Eve was celebrated in "Monster Smurfs".* The WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck short ''Trick or Treat'' has a witch joining forces with Donald's nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie to get even with him after he pranks them on Halloween.* The WesternAnimation/BugsBunny short ''Broom-Stick Bunny'' has the rabbit encountering Witch Hazel while trick-or-treating.** WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck and his nephew encounter Witch Hazel on Halloween in ''A-Haunting We Will Go''.* ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'': Beetlejuice and Lydia celebrate Halloween in "Laugh of the Party." B.J. lives things up with a Neitherworld product called "Party People In a Can."* ''WesternAnimation/PunkyBrewster'' had "Halloween Howlers." Glomer turns everyone who doesn't give him a treat into a jack o'lantern.* Initially, the ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' episode "The Good, The Bad And The Motionless" tells straight away it's Halloween, and that Penfold is carving up a swede.-->'''Colonel K:''' Good heavens, D.M., I didn't know he could play tennis.\\'''DM:''' Tenni--oh, no, sir. Not Bjorn Borg, not ''that'' sort of swede. It's the vegetable kind.* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanUnlimitedMonsterMayhem'' takes place on Halloween and features Solomon Groundy (a zombie), Silver Banshee, and Silvercrow.* The ''Literature/RaggedyAnn'' short "The Enchanted Square" takes place on Halloween, but it's not the focus of the story.

Living inside Baghdad's Green Zone seems to encourage a dangerous disconnect between its occupants—American or Iraqi—and the chaotic and violent reality outside its bounds. American journalist Rajiv Chandrasekaran takes a sobering look inside for the UK paper The Sunday Times.
The Sunday Times:
The sectarian fighting that is occurring on the streets is not simply about religious zealotry.
It's a naked grab for power that begins inside the green zone, where Iraqi political leaders are fighting for influence. They continue to bicker with one another because they are largely cut off from the consequences. They do not live in fear that their neighbours might turn on them or that Shi'ite militiamen or Sunni insurgents might come and kill them.

A, ANTIOXIDANT By preventing and repairing free-radical damage from sun and pollution, these nutrients, when applied, keep wrinkles, brown spots, and other signs of aging at bay. MC RECOMMENDS: MD Skincare Hydra-Pure Antioxidant Firming Serum
B, BOTOX Annual sales of this wrinkle relaxer have surpassed $1 billion. But new muscle-paralyzing toxins Reloxin (awaiting FDA approval this year) and Puretox (in clinical trials) will offer some stiff competition.

Hi folks,
first let me thank all who work(ed) on this amazingly efficient product.
I have set up a VPN from a branch to headquarters, which is OK (the other
side is a Checkpoint firewall)
I would like the HQ's network to be able to access the remote branch
network (where monowall is installed)
IPSec seems to be configured OK, I have created a rule allowing the HQ
network to access branch lan, but nothing happens.
Any idea ?

I made this recipe and love the ingredients and the end product. I couldn't get any of the 4 push tubes to work properly so I remelted the product and poured it into proper deodorant tubes and it works great! Will be ordering more ingredients to make again.

Oadby and Wigston Borough Council says the current rented hostel for homeless people in the area needs to be replaced.
The council is expected to apply for funding to build the facility on Bennett Way.
Martin Cregg from the council's housing department says a new hostel would make a real difference.
Public consultation
He said the council currently rents a hostel from a private landlord, but it is not popular with some residents.
The new hostel would have training facilities to encourage residents to explore different employment opportunities, he said.
The council is expected to decide soon whether to seek funding for the project.
A public consultation will be held if the council decides to go ahead with the project.

Jill Yoneda
Jill was part of the 2006 Canadian National Team that won a bronze in Egypt and the 2008 Team. This is her fifth time returning to the Caymans, after missing 2009 and 2010 is excited to be back in the water with all her PFI friends. She will be having fun and training hard to create some new personal bests.
Kelly Smith
Paralympian Silver Medalist in the Marathon at the 2008 Athens Paralympics. Introduces to the sport by Jill Yoneda in 2009 and successfully completed the PFI intermediate freediving course in Kona with Kirk and Mandy. Strangely enjoys static breath holds and is looking forward to seeing how deep he can go in free immersion.
Andrew Hogan
In Jan of 1985, at age 6, I set a neighborhood speed record, unbroken to this very day, in "Couch Cushion Staircase Racing". The spectacle cost me my two front teeth and won me a trip to the emergency room. Miraculously, however, my teeth grew back within weeks; and it was decided then, by my brother and the older neighborhood kids, that I – blessed with the superhuman power of rejuvenation – would be bestowed the honor and duty of the "Go-First Test Pilot" in all other feats of daring and stupidity for the rest of my childhood.
I'm a grown man now. I work in the relatively safe animation industry, promoting childhood obesity and materialism under the guise of educational television. And It has been years since I have done anything really stupid or reckless.
When Kirk approached me with the concept of straddling an electric torpedo and racing it derby-style over a hundred feet underwater on one breath of air, a nostalgic rush surged up through my marrow, and that little tingle I used to get as a kid, right before I'd put my life in grave danger took hold of me, and without even thinking about it, I signed on.
As a proud member of TEAM GOLD FUSION, I am confident that I am going to go down in history as either the 1st to clinch the F3F GOLD MEDAL, or otherwise immortalized by my own stupidity.

Maximizing the Total Resolution of Graphs
Argyriou, Evmorfia and Bekos, Michael and Symvonis, Antonios (2011) Maximizing the Total Resolution of Graphs. In: Graph Drawing 18th International Symposium, GD 2010, September 21-24, 2010, Konstanz, Germany , pp. 62-67 (Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-18469-7_6).
Full text not available from this repository.
A major factor affecting the readability of a graph drawing is its resolution. In the graph drawing literature, the resolution of a drawing is either measured based on the angles formed by consecutive edges incident to a common node (angular resolution) or by the angles formed at edge crossings (crossing resolution). In this paper, we evaluate both by introducing the notion of total resolution , that is, the minimum of the angular and crossing resolution. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time where the problem of maximizing the total resolution of a drawing is studied. The main contribution of the paper consists of drawings of asymptotically optimal total resolution for complete graphs (circular drawings) and for complete bipartite graphs (2-layered drawings). In addition, we present and experimentally evaluate a force-directed based algorithm that constructs drawings of large total resolution.
