This tutorial is an introduction to Bayesian statistics using Python. My goal is to help participants understand the concepts and solve real problems. We will use material from my book, Think Stats: Probability and Statistics for Programmers (O'Reilly Media).
Bayesian statistical methods are becoming more common and more important, but there are not many resources to help beginners get started. People who know Python can use their programming skills to get a head start.
I will present simple programs that demonstrate the concepts of Bayesian statistics, and apply them to a range of example problems. Participants will work hands-on with example code and practice on example problems.
Students should have at least basic level Python and basic statistics. If you learned about Bayes's Theorem and probability distributions at some time, that's enough, even if you don't remember it! Students should be comfortable with logarithms and plotting data on a log scale.
Students should bring a laptop with Python 2.x and matplotlib. You can work in any environment; you just need to be able to download a Python program and run it.

The tutorial will give a hands-on introduction to manipulating and analyzing large and small structured data sets in Python using the pandas library. While the focus will be on learning the nuts and bolts of the library's features, I also aim to demonstrate a different way of thinking regarding structuring data in memory for manipulation and analysis.
The tutorial will teach the mechanics of the most important features of pandas. It will be focused on the nuts and bolts of the two main data structures, Series (1D) and DataFrame (2D), as they relate to a variety of common data handling problems in Python. The tutorial will be supplemented by a collection of scripts and example data sets for the users to run while following along with the material. As such a significant part of the tutorial will be spend doing interactive data exploration and working examples from within the IPython console.
The tutorial will also teach participants best practices for structuring data in memory and the do's and don'ts of high performance computing with large data sets in Python. For participants who have never used IPython, this will also provide a gentle introduction to interactive scientific computing with IPython.

At EuroPython 2011 I ran a very hands-on tutorial for High Performance Python techniques. This updated tutorial will cover profiling, PyPy, Cython, numpy, NumExpr, ShedSkin, multiprocessing, ParallelPython and pyCUDA. Here's a 55 page PDF write-up of the EuroPython material: http://ianozsvald.com/2011/07/25...
At EuroPython 2011 I ran a very hands-on tutorial for High Performance Python techniques. This updated tutorial will cover:
I plan to expand the original material and to maybe also cover other tools like execnet and PyPy-numpy.
In this tutorial, I will cover how to write very fast Python code for data analysis. I will briefly introduce NumPy and illustrate how fast code for Python is written in SciPy using tools like Fwrap / F2py and Cython. I will also describe interesting new approaches to creating fast code that is leading changes to NumPy on a fundamental level.
In this tutorial, I will cover how to write very fast Python code for data analysis including making use of NumPy and using GPUs. I will largely focus on writing extensions to Python using hand-wrapping and Cython but will touch also on using tools like weave, Instant, ShedSkin and compare them to PyPy. I will also spend the last part of the tutorial on using GPUs with Python and discuss the performance trade-offs of the technology. This will be a high-level overview of the space with deep dives in Cython and GPUs

A LITTLE Chalfont school has been rocked by the news it could face closure.
A LITTLE Chalfont school has been rocked by the news it could face closure.
Buckinghamshire County Council has announced it will hold a public consultation on the proposed closure of Bell Lane Combined School.
In 2009 an inspection of the school for 5-11 year olds by Ofsted judged that the school was failing to give pupils an acceptable standard of education.
Since then the school has not been able to make the level of improvements required.
Steven Adams, Cabinet Member for Education, said: "Unfortunately, although Bell Lane School has made some improvement, it has not been sufficient and standards of attainment by many pupils remain low. Falling pupil numbers and a difficult financial position have exacerbated the position the school is facing.
"In order to achieve improved education and better outcomes for pupils of Bell Lane, closure of the school must now be considered seriously. This decision is also in line with Ofsted's expectation of the appropriate action to be taken when insufficient improvements are made over a period of two years.
"This has been a very difficult decision to take but our absolute priority is the achievement of the best outcomes possible for the current and future pupils of the school."
The public consultation on the proposal to close the school will run until February 18.
Council officers will be holding meetings with parents and staff over the next few days and a public meeting is scheduled for January 19 at 7pm at the school.
The consultation document is on the BCC website at buckscc.gov.uk (click on the Have your Say link) or phone 01494 475352 to receive a paper copy.
Do you have children at Bell Lane School? We want to hear from you - please email firstname.lastname@example.com with your opinions.

Where did the name Scubber's come from?
As a young boy the owner's son Bob Cietek Jr. was nicknamed Scubber by his Great Grandfather who had a way with words. Bob Jr's family and friends still refer to him today as "Scubber". After a brief retirement and back by popular demand Scubber's now 2 go! is open at 186 Wolf Rd. and knocking the doors off! Scubber's chose to change their slogan due to the lack of parking space in their new location they focused more on a takeout menu. After a long remodeling process we were able to allow a few tables in the front of the store, but the main focus is still 2 go! The 2 in the name representing the 2nd run at Scubber's now adding Wood Fired Pizza to their menu. The owner's Bob and Bernice Cietek along with their children Bob Jr (Scubber) and Stephanie are absolutely thrilled by the support of the community and their loyal customers! "It's like all our customers from the past 30 years called each other to talk about our reopening! It's such a great feeling to know that your absence was missed and your presence is so greatly appreciated," owner Bernice Cietek said.

You can't make this stuff up. Tory leader Michael Howard has asked troubleshooter David James and a group of experts to scour the government books for ways to save taxpayers' cash. And, on the dark day that the Tories come to power again, perhaps they'd like to turn this little group into a Government office to which all departments must submit their proposals so they can be vetted to make sure they don't generate unnecessary bureaucracy?

The "combatants" in South-Central were contestants under new rules of ornamental masculinity. The martial rhetoric, the stockpiling of weaponry, the display of violence, all were part of a nitrous-fueled drama that had as much to do with "winning" under the image terms of the new culture as it did with proving valor under any traditional warrior code. As Kody Scott himself would realize later, the war he had been engaged in throughout his coming-of-age years was, above all, a ratings war, a campaign to attain what he came to call "neighborhood celebrity."
"MY FATHER'S GENERATION WAS THE LAST RESPONSIBLE generation," said Sanyika Shakur (now Kody Scott's legally adopted name) as he welcomed me in August 1997 to his girlfriend's two-bedroom house in the San Fernando Valley. He had just moved in, having been released from jail three days earlier after a year's sentence for a parole violation -- his second such since the publication of what was supposed to be his transformational autobiography.
Newly out of prison, Shakur was unnerved by wide-open spaces. He led the way to the smallest room in the house, a back bedroom that his girlfriend, Felicia Morris, had converted to an office. Morris waved goodbye from the living room; a radio disc jockey and songwriter, she was on her way to work. Behind the office was the garage, where her guard dog, a rottweiler named Kody, barked ceaselessly. "When I first moved to South-Central," Shakur continued, "there were industrial ties still. Men still owned their homes, supported their families. But then something happened. It turned to a neighborhood of renters. I started seeing an increase of men in the streets. It was like the economy in this country had reached its apex, and we black men had outlived our usefulness."
As a young man, he had still hoped that he could demonstrate a workmanlike "usefulness" within his gang set. "You put in work and you feel needed in a gang. People would call on me because they needed me. You feel useful, and you're useful in your capacity as a man. You know, 'Don't send me no boys. Send me a man!'" But he was beginning to see his former life in a different light. What he once perceived as "work" now seemed more like PR. "What the work was," he said, "was anything you did in promotionfor the gang." He found it amusing how the media viewed gangs as clannish and occult. "We're nota secret society. Our whole thing is writing on walls, tattoos on necks, maintaining visibility. Getting media coverage is the shit! If the media knows about you, damn, that's the top. We don't recognize ourselvesunless we're recognized on the news.
"There's a lot of talk about loyalty and mission and all that with the gang, and that's part of it," he said. "But my initial attraction to these guys I saw who were in gang life was that these dudes were ghetto stars. And I wanted to be a ghetto star." He set out, as any PR man would do, to ã get his brand name out. "I considered it advertising, being on the campaign trail. Bangin' is very much like promoting for the Republican or Democratic party. What you do is, you have your name ringing on the wire, on several levels. You do it by promoting." The publicity effort took many forms. "You write your name all over. You had to always have your marker and your gloves, because you are on the campaign trail. When you shoot somebody, you say your name, loud. And I wouldn't hide my face. You leave people alive, knowing that the word will get out on who did it. You go to parties and you shoot in the air and say your name. Or you go to parties and you shout-whisper your name in girls' ears, tell 'em what a badass you are, or tell 'em, 'Tell so-and-so, he can't kill me.' You'd primarily use females, because they had the gossip thing down. They are very important, because if they are impressed, they spread the word." He'd gauge the progress of his fame by how speedily a rumor he started about himself spread. "You'd know your celebrity by the return rate, how fast it would get back to you. The return rate is what you look for."
Kody Scott's image-enhancement strategies were not homegrown. "I got all these ideas from watching movies and watching television. I was really just out there acting from what I saw on TV." And he wasn't referring to Superflyor Shaft. "Growing up, I didn't see one blaxploitation movie. Not one." His inspiration came from shows like Mission: Impossibleand Rat Patroland films like The Godfather. "I would study the guys in those movies," he recalled, "how they moved, how they stood, the way they dressed, that whole winning way of dressing. Their tactics became my tactics. I went from watching Rat Patrolto being in it." His prime model was Arthur Penn's 1967 movie Bonnie and Clyde. "I watched how in Bonnie and Clydethey'd walk in and say their whole names. They were getting their reps. I took that and applied it to my situation." Cinematic gangsterism was his objective, and it didn't seem like much of a reach. "It's like there's a thin line in this country now between criminality and celebrity. Someone has to be the star of the hood. Someone has to do the advertising for the hood. And it's like agencies that pick a good-looking guy model. So it became, 'Monster Kody! Let's push him out there!'" He grinned as he said this, an aw-shucks, winsome smile that was, doubtless, part of his "campaign."

Society needs Catholicism, Pope tells U.S. bishops
In five speeches over a period of six months, Pope Benedict XVI warned visiting U.S. bishops of the threats that an increasingly secularized society poses to the Catholic Church in America, especially in the areas of religious liberty, sexual morality and the definition of marriage.
Yet the pope did not advise that American Catholics withdraw from a largely hostile environment in order to preserve their values and faith. Instead, as part of his call for a new evangelization within the church and beyond, he urged believers to engage even more closely with wider society for the benefit of all Americans.
Vatican publishes rules for verifying Marian apparitions
To help bishops determine the credibility of alleged Marian apparitions, the Vatican has translated and published procedural rules from 1978 that had previously been available only in Latin.
The "Norms regarding the manner of proceedings in the discernment of presumed apparitions or revelations" were approved by Pope Paul VI in 1978 and distributed to the world's bishops, but never officially published or translated into modern languages.
However, over the past three decades, unauthorized translations have appeared around the world, according to U.S. Cardinal William Levada, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
New mausoleum at Holy Sepulchre
On Memorial Day, Auxiliary Bishop Andrew Wypych blessed the new Garden Mausoleum at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Alsip. The blessing followed the annual field Mass to remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to the country. The mausoleum is part of an extension to the Mausoleum of the Archangels and has 280 crypts and 264 niches.
The mausoleum is constructed out of concrete with a soft white architectural finish to match the existing mausoleum. Each crypt front is made of a polished granite slab and features a bronze plaque containing the name of the deceased and birth and death dates.
Leisure may help us find the meaningful moments in life
A fond hope for many of us is that our leisure time will prove rewarding, enjoyable, relaxing, even fun.
Tacked onto our leisure time are some great expectations. Some people plan far in advance for a few days away from the "business" of life. Some budget carefully (or spend recklessly) to assure their time off is satisfying.
Worship God in the wide, open spaces of nature
When American poet William Cullen Bryant declared that "the groves were God's first temples," he was pointing out that human beings, from time immemorial, recognized the sacredness of the created world by worshiping God in the open, especially among the trees.
Many ancient religions claimed their sacred tree. In Christianity this tree is the cross on which Jesus was crucified. A traditional Latin hymn addresses it as "O faithful cross, O noblest tree."

A Fish or a Girl?
Many people like to choose one thing over another just because it seems to be better than that one other thing, but in "The Bass, The River, and Sheila Mant", the narrator chose to try and be with Sheila Mant than the bass he had caught that day. In the end he decided to go with her, but I think he was wrong to do that because in the story Sheila was mean to him and since the narrator loves fishing more than anything else, he should've have stuck with fishing instead of trying to impress her throughout the story. I think the narrator was wrong to choose Sheila Mant over the bass.
Sheila was mean to the narrator in various ways, but the narrator didn't seem to realize it much because he was trying to catch a fish at the same exact time. When they went out in the narrator's canoe, Sheila didn't care about the narrator because she would always talk about herself because she thinks that she deserves a bunch of attention. While she tells him about what she likes and hates, the narrator catches a bass. It was the biggest one he has ever caught and when he has it on the line, he tells her that he loves fishing and she tells him "I hate fishing, it so boring and stupid". At the beginning of the story, when the narrator asks Sheila Mant to go with him on the boat ride she was hesitant to even go with him because she knew that he was younger than her and that he liked her, but she didn't want to be mean so she said yes.
Another reason why I think the narrator was wrong to choose the girl over the bass is because the narrator is really good at fishing and has done it his whole life. The narrator is always practicing and trying to get better at fishing even though he is good at it, he tries to get better. When he catches the bass it happens to be the biggest one he has ever caught, but he is trying to impress a girl so he keeps it hidden in the water. While he is trying to hide it, Sheila says that fishing is boring and stupid. The bad thing in all this is that he loves fishing and he is with a girl he likes and that hates fishing so he has to choose, the girl or the bass? In the end he chooses to go with the girl and he lets the bass go.
Some people say that the narrator made the right choice, going with the girl instead of keeping the bass because having a relationship is more important than catching a fish. If you love to do something, I don't think you should stop it just because you want to impress someone else or because you like something that they don't. If that person doesn't like it, then maybe they shouldn't be around you. In the end of the story the narrator tried to be nice to Sheila and impress her so that she would like him, but she left him after the canoe ride because she had already had a boyfriend waiting for her to get there. In the end I think the narrator should've chose the bass over the girl.
That's why I think the story should have ended differently and the narrator should have chosen the bass over the girl. Sheila didn't even like the narrator, she just wanted to be able to meet her boyfriend so she could be with him and that was a way to meet him so she decided to use the narrator. The narrator wanted to be with Sheila because he liked her so he tried to impress her, but he found out she doesn't like fishing and that made everything change since he has done it his whole life and he wasn't about to give it up just because some girl didn't like what he did for fun.

There's a number of things about the framing of this discussion that
are bugging me (I come at this from the perspective of having spent
quite a bit of time on both the research and the commercial sides of
the field).
For one, the nature of the intrusion detection problem is very
dynamic. Ten+ years ago, the biggest problem was interactive
attacks. Five years ago, the biggest headache for organizations was
automated random scanning worms. Today, RS worms have become much
less of a big deal, and most of the action is attacks on clients
primarily via the web, and the resulting remote control of systems via
bots. These are very different problems requiring pretty different
approaches. And in another five years, I'm sure the main problem will
be something else again. So the main nuisances on the wire keep
changing, and any dataset is necessarily going to get stale very
quickly. In particular, quite a lot of staleness will happen between
the start of a hypothetical graduate student starting and finishing a
Secondly, I think there's an assumption lurking implicitly in the
search for datasets that the appropriate focus for research is the
inference algorithm. Much like the machine learning community does -
get a fixed data set, and then try all kinds of inference algorithms
to see what works best. For our problem set, I don't think that's a
great way of doing things. For us, the main focus is "What are the
bad guys doing now?" and "What features do we need to detect what they
are now doing". Usually, if you have good features with high
discrimination, most algorithms can be tweaked to do ok. If you don't
have good features, no inference algorithm will save you. And if you
have good features today, they'll be a lot less useful in a couple of
years and new ones will have to be invented.
I think there's a lot of contribution that researchers can continue to
make in this field. But you can't think of it that you are
discovering timeless principles or something - this is much too
applied a field. It's about figuring out what's happening on the wire
*now*, and what can be done about it.
So forget looking for a dataset. Look for a wire. Do whatever it
takes to get your institution let you sniff the egress link - it's
just about guaranteed to have plenty of attacks on it. Build, or
adapt, some software to look at the packets with respect to some
problem that interests you and that seems like a currently rising
challenge. Spend a lot of time manually poring over the packets to
figure out what is going on, and label your own data. You need to get
your hands dirty. If you look at the most influential highly cited
researchers (Todd Heberlein, Vern Paxson, etc, etc) their influential
contributions were always driven off actually trying to detect attacks
on real networks. In the end, intrusion detection is about detecting
intrusions, just like the name says. Any amount of theoretical or
algorithmic sophistication is a waste of time unless it directly
contributes to that goal, and no amount of sophistication will be very
exciting if it only improves the detection of five-year-old attacks
(this is not to say that technical sophistication is not required for
current problems - I believe it is).
I think the problem of producing regular timely datasets that can be
safely published is probably just about intractable, even if one of
the funding agencies were to step up to try and fill the shoes DARPA
long ago left behind. Synthetic datasets would not be that
interesting, and since most attacks are now inside packet content, the
challenge of reliably anonymizing the data while not affecting the
traffic materially would be just about impossible (what algorithm is
going to sanitize every single web developer's cookie format, for
example? How could one be sure that obfuscated javascript didn't
contain any personal information?).

I really don't have an issue with Zoe Saldana.
This post is not about throwing shade or sipping on that "haterade." She's a perfectly fine actress, who's managed to do well for herself.
This is about Hollywood.
Apparently somewhere all the way at the bottom of a disclosure notice on those entrance gates to Hollywood's most noted studios, in teeny tiny print, only one Black woman can be cast in the role of "the Black woman" in mainstream, commercial film projects. Or something like that.
And for some time now, it has been Zoe Saldana. Apparently [though not officially confirmed] Zaldana has been tapped to portray soulful, jazz legend, Nina Simone in the Nina Simone biopic, Nina. It's my hope that Saldana is simply being cast in a supporting role, because let's get real; there is nothing about Zoe Saldana that says Nina Simone to me. Nada. But this wouldn't be the first time that Hollywood inaccurately cast an iconic person of color.
Remember the release of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter earlier this summer? Among the many things that were glaringly terrible and just straight up wrong with this film, the casting of Harriet Tubman was most troubling to me. Not only was Harriet Tubman chumming it up with batshit crazy Mary Todd Lincoln over tea and biscuits in the WHITE HOUSE, she delivered silver to Union soldiers via the Underground Railroad, you know to kill all the vampires with. The actress Jacqueline Fleming's accent was laughable, and well and she looked like this:
Dear America, Tim Burton & Timur Bekmambetov,
The depiction of Harriet Tubman as biracial in a new Hollywood film ranks as the most hurtful denunciation of Blackness yet. In a nation that claims itself 'multi-cultural' and that everyone is part of a rainbow humanity-why are we constantly bombarded with the erasure of Authentically Black images? Why does Harriet Tubman, a dark Black woman whose grandmother identified her as an Ashanti from Ghana, West Africa have to look European in order for Westerners to acknowledge, celebrate and value her?
Why specifically are academics and critical thinkers, Black and White alike, unable to see the blatant Colorism in music videos, magazines and countless films that seek to portray Africa as a continent peopled by light skinned Biracial women? How is it that intelligent people claiming there's only one race-the 'human race'-consistently paint the darkest people as motherless invisible un-people? How do they fail to see the blatant visual distortion as millions of African teenagers take up skin-bleaching and other forms of neurotic self-hatred to become the Whitened images that Western media routinely presents in place of Authentic Black ones?
She's right. I guess because there was so much other nonsense in that film, Hollywood thought they could just bamboozle the viewer into accepting Fleming as an acceptable representation of Tubman. Why is Black history only revered or celebrated when the images are lightened or distorted? Could it be to pacify post-slavery pangs of White guilt or even worse as KOLA BOOF suggests, a reprisal of Black self-hatred and lack of cultural and historical awareness. Are some of us so delusional that we've forgotten the faces and experiences of our own ancestors?
A biopic of Nina Simone's life is huge. And I can only hope that the film's writers and director's understand the weight of this project. This is more than simply capturing Nina's life, it is about capturing the experience of what it meant and continues to mean to be Black in America; to be the darker sister; to become disillusioned with your home and the movement because of racism and sexism; and to live in exile. Her life was a great one and I wonder if any actress can do the part justice. But I do know this, inaccurately casting a woman who looks like Zoe Saldana to play Nina Simone will be another successful erasure of an authentically Black and beautiful image.
What are your thoughts: Does it matter what an actress or actor looks like?

2000 Graham Vintage
Wine Information
Magazine Reviews
Score: | 98 points |
Review: | Wine Spectators 2003 TOP 100 Graham Vintage Port: 9th in this elite list of the Worlds best wines. 98 Points out of 100 This is the greatest young Vintage Port from Graham I have ever tasted, and perhaps it will be better in the long term than the legendary 1948. It smells like freshly picked orchids, with loads of ripe, clean fruit, and then turns full-bodied, medium-sweet and very powerful in the mouth with big velvety tannins. It lasts for minutes on your palate. There's great balance and class to this young Vintage Port. Best after 2014. James Suckling, Wine Spectator, 20th February 2003 |

Happy Birthday to Us! IPWatchdog.com turns 10!
Written by Gene Quinn President & Founder of IPWatchdog, Inc. Patent Attorney, Reg. No. 44,294 Zies, Widerman & Malek Blog | Twitter | Facebook | LinkedIn Posted: October 10, 2009 @ 2:29 pm |
It is almost difficult to believe that 10 years ago today IPWatchdog.com first launched. At the time I was living in Orlando, Florida, and had just embarked upon what I had hoped would be a career as a full-time law school professor. Things didn't quite go according to plan on that front, but through all my travels, teaching at various law schools, becoming associated with the PLI Patent Bar Review course in 2001 and now being a paid writer and having my own patent law practice one thing has remained constant, and that is IPWatchdog.com.
I want to thank all those who have been readers and visitors over the years. Over the years we have had well over 3 million unique visitors, and perhaps over 4 million unique visitors. This year we are on pace to wind up with somewhere between 650,000 and 700,000 unique visitors. I am extremely gratified that so many have found IPWatchdog.com useful for one reason or another.
Times certainly change, and IPWatchdog.com has grown over the years, changing both in look and feel and in substance. For most of the 10 years we have provided information to individuals to help them better understand patents, copyrights and trademarks. For a portion of that time we did a weekly newsletter that profiled every intellectual property case opinion, including some non-reported cases when it wasn't so easy to find them. That has given way to the IPWatchdog.com Blog, which continues to grow in popularity. There will no doubt be changes in the future; I am already contemplating a redesign of the website/blog to keep things fresh and moving forward. With whatever changes happen, whether substantive or to the look and feel, IPWatchdog.com will continue and I can only hope we have another 10 years as good as our first.
Again, thank you to everyone for joining me on this journey!
While it may be a little embarrassing, I thought it might be interesting to pay homage to some of the old, and outdated, looks IPWatchdog.com has had over the years.

Fly Fishing

Michigan salmon fishing newb
skywarp989 [Team Member]
Hey guys, been doing the Lake Michigan salmon run thing this year for the first time. What a blast ââ that is, if you can get away from the snaggers. Seriously, it's literally how most people try to catch salmon. A big treble hook and some yarn to make it "legal." No COs around to cite anyone. Most people hook the fish in the dorsal or the tail, so they break off.
On the other hand, and despite popular belief, these fish WILL eat in the rivers and swinging streamers, especially at night, is deadly. A 20+ pound fish slamming your fly on a tight line in the dark and then exploding out of the river like a Polaris missile will wake you UP. Then you have seconds to gain control before it runs you into a logjam or around the bend in the tiny river. Many times, no matter what your rig or skill level, you WILL NOT gain control of the fish.
I have so far landed 2 out of around 20. I'm new to big-game fishing. I've been using a couple 10wt rods, a Ross Flystik and a vintage Fenwick Feralite. We swing streamers, from giant articulated zonker-strip deer-hair head beasts my buddy created and dubbed "the grinch" to size 6 muddlers. This year the lowly muddler has been the ticket. We use a heavy WF10F line (SA Titan Taper) and 3-6ft of sink tip to roll the flies up against the bank for a good swing. The hit is almost always JUST as the fly hits the end of the swing and starts to rise. You'll know.
This fish was my first ââ a "small one," probably in the 12-15 pound class. Got her about 11pm the other night. 1-2am has been the best time, as the snaggers go home and the fish start to move around some more and get more aggressive.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

How to reduce your carbon footprint Some Simple Steps.
As a family we have started looking at our carbon footprint far more seriously. However, first of all I would like to explain what is meant by carbon footprint and carbon offset as many seem to be asking me this question. These definitions may sound a little dull but so is the offside rule!
Carbon footprint is the measure of the amount of carbon dioxide or CO2 emitted through the combustion of fossil fuels in carrying out a process or making a product. The increase on CO2 in our atmosphere has a negative impact on global climate. Carbon offset is the act of reducing or avoiding CO2 emissions in one place in order to "offset" CO2 emissions occurring elsewhere. Because CO2 mixes well in the atmosphere, it doesnt matter where that mitigation occurs. I hope thats clear! So what can you do as a family to try and reduce your carbon impact? Below I have listed some simple, easy and cost effective steps that our family have implemented over the last three months. Car Insurance. The first thing we did was to change our car insurance to a carbon neutral provider meaning your insurer will invest in a scheme to offset the CO2 emissions your car makes during the year. We decided to go with ibuyeco.co.uk who were as competitive as our previous policy and provided a very good and clear service. Our CO2 saving each year will be approx 2,000Kgs. Utilities To be honest I was getting fed with all the price rises which were being passed on to us over the last few years by large organisations. Therefore we decided to move our electricity to Good-Energy.co.uk. They are committed to using 100% renewable energy. Our saving each year will be approx 8,000Kgs of CO2. Recycle Now this was easy and something we were already doing. However to keep things tidy and in order we purchased a set of three recycling bags (glass/metal, Paper/card and Plastic) from ethicalsuperstore.com. The bags click together, are labelled and easy to keep clean. We were astounded by how much plastic we got through each week and how much less rubbish we were putting in our wheely bin. Also we felt it important for our children to understand what we were doing and make recycling second nature to them. Transport I now take the train to London, walk/ride to work and walk/ride to school. This approach saves you money, keeps you fit and reduces ever further your CO2 emissions. The hardest part is to convince my wife that buying a bike is a nice birthday present! Heating This is the quickest and most simple of my recommendations. Although my wife likes the whole house cosy and warm, if you turn your thermostat down by 1 degree you can reduce your bills and carbon usage buy 10%. Trust me, you will not even notice the temperature change in the house, my wife hasnt yet! Another tip includes turning your thermostat down when you go out for the evening, or away for a weekend. Day to Day Tips Only wash full loads in the washing machine and dishwasher. Not difficult for us being a family of 5. Set your washing machine at 30 instead of 40 degrees. Turn off appliances at the mains leaving them on standby wastes electricity. Cut down on cooking time by using lids on your pans. Dont overfill the kettle when making a cuppa. Turn lights off and radiators down in rooms which are not being used. I hope that you find these steps simple, useful and easy to implement. It is really important that we all work together in reducing are carbon footprint. I have listed below some useful sites which you make wish to look at and use. http://www.moreeco.com - carbon offset shopping http://www.thecarbonaccount.com - measure you ongoing carbon usage http://www.climatecare.org - carbon calculator |

We've turned the corner into April and Baby season is beginning right on time. Each spring hundreds of species of wildlife in New England give birth to their young, and soon our hospital will be flooded with baby squirrels, raccoons, opossums, songbirds, eastern cottontails, and many other young critters. This means it's all hands on deck for our hospital staff and interns who will be charged with administering meds, cleaning cages, and of course the round the clock feeding regiment.
"It is a lot of work, but it's a great learning experience and working with baby animals has been very rewarding."
says hospital Intern Sarah, who is currently perusing her Undergraduate degree from Boston University
This spring and summer the Center will treat hundreds of sick, injured, and orphan babies, from all over New England and when they are ready we will release them back to their native environments. This is an especially exciting time of year for us and we encourage people to come tour our facility and learn about these little critters first hand. Thank you for your interest and support, and don't forget to check our calendar for upcoming events and programs.
If You Find a Wild Animal check out this link for more information: http://wildlife-education-center.com/wildlife-care/what-to-do-if-you-find-a-wild-animal/
Greg Mertz is CEO of the wildlife center. As the primary veterinary provider for the Center since 1990, he has treated or presided over the care of 80,000 wild animals. He is also the lead veterinarian for the animals at the Live Animal Center for the Museum of Science in Boston. Read more about his background.
Katrina Bergman is executive director and chief fundraiser for the Center and has been there for almost 20 years. Her greatest joys are seeing the ingenious raccoon orphans play and watching kids that just don't quite "fit" anywhere else thrive at the Center. Read more about her.
Jack Banagis of Hull is a senior at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he is studying biochemistry and molecular biology. This summer he is managing the New England Wildlife Center's social media, blog and web site communication. He also works as a research assistant in the Wang lab at UMass Amherst.
