Top hair trends for spring
By Natasha Sunshine
From The Style Glossy
The No. 1 rule in the world of hairstyling, "Hair follows fashion," couldn't be any truer this spring. And thank goodness the runways had some good stuff for us this season! The Michael Kors gals sported uncontrived versions of the go-to ponytail. The Betsey Johnson models brought sexy bedroom hair back with sultry texture. Marc Jacobs gave us glammed-up curls by mixing the regular old spiral curl with a bit of messy texture. Read on to get real-life tips on how to bring these styles to the streets.
Textured waves are all the rage this coming spring.
To get the look, you'll need a curling iron, setting spray and a little bit of time. Start with clean, dry hair. Use a medium-sized curling iron (3/4-inch for fine hair and 1- to 1 1/4-inch iron for medium to thick hair). Beginning at the nape of the neck, take sections that are about 2 inches wide and 1 inch high. Spray each section with a light hair spray before winding the hair in a candy cane motion. Wind the hair in different directions to avoid the pageant look. Stay about 2 inches from the part before wrapping your final sections so the root stays flat.
Next, turn your head over and run your fingers through your hair. Lace or tease for added volume and give a final blast of spray. That's it, ladies. Be warned, this style is not for the meek. A combination of classic '40s hair meets unfussy '70s hair gives it a fashion-forward flair.
The voluminous blowout is back.
Hooray! We've been sleek for far too long. To get the look, prep wet hair with a volumizing spray. Rough-dry your hair until it's about 75 percent dry. Then, using a medium-sized round brush (try a blonde boar bristle for extra shine), take sections that are equal to the width of the brush size; that will typically mean a 2-inch section. Blow-dry each section, wrapping the hair around the brush while applying heat. Keep taut, but don't pull too much. Try to keep the hair wound around the brush. To get maximum volume, you want to move the dryer rather than the brush. Continue until all sections are complete. On fine hair, you'll want to pin each section for extra hold. Give a final dose of a light hair spray, let the sections cool, and rake your fingers through the style for a gorgeous sexy look.
Pretty ponytails are a gal's best strategy for a lazy yet stylish day.
They're also a great second-day look for either of the above sets. To bring allure to your pony, pull it up high and sleek by using a flat bristle brush. (The more bristles, the better for a smoother finish.) Next, lace or tease your pony for added fullness. Spritz lightly with your favorite workable hair spray and you're off to a fabulous day in a flash.

Here's the Huge Manhattan Sinkhole That Messed Up the Subway
If you live in New York City and are wondering why your commute was messed up, besides the fact that it's always messed up, check out these pictures from WPIX's James Ford. That's right! A sinkhole!
And before you bust out your "Was Chris Christie visiting?" jokes, here's the real story of what happened: Vigo the Carpathian came back. No, no, it was just a 95-year-old water main that burst on 106th Street, creating a huge, impromptu whitewater rafting adventure park (see video) that flowed down Central Park West and flooding several subway stations—causing shutdowns on the A, B, C and D after electricity had to be turned off.
We'll let a witness explain what it was like:
"And boom!" a witness who goes by the name Cowboy told PIX11 News. "It was an explosion, definitely."
Thanks, Cowboy! We eagerly await the dozens of iPhone recordings of subway fistfights between stressed-out passengers that should hit YouTube over the next few hours, as well as what should be about six weeks of "residual delays."

Comcast: The Nimble Giant
A popular financial analyst ended a note on the cable industry's efforts to reign in cost and leverage its strengths with a single comparison. "The goal: To be more like Comcast."
Comcast has been the gold standard for cable operations not just this year, but for the past 10 quarters, consistently outperforming peers in every metric, both financial and operationally.
You want revenue growth? Comcast has grown cable revenue an average of 6% per quarter for the past 10 quarters, as its publicly traded peers struggled to eke out an average of 4.7% growth during the period. How about operating cash-flow growth? Comcast has averaged 6.8% OCF growth over the past 10 quarters, while the other publicly traded operators have averaged 1.17% growth.
Operationally, Comcast has led the charge on net high-speed data additions (620,000 so far this year), phone additions (372,000 in 2013) and continues to show improvement on the video subscriber front, stifling the bleeding: It lost about 219,000 video customers in 2013, about the same as its first-half losses in 2012.
Comcast's superior performance has breathed new life into cable at a time when threats from online competitors are filling up the pages and pixels of the business press. With its performance over these many months, Comcast has shown that cable operators can do more than just compete in the new technological environment — they can flourish.
It was Comcast that back in 2011 first gave analysts and investors a whiff of what the future could hold when it improved video customer losses by almost 40% for the full year, shedding about 460,000 video subscribers versus 757,000 in the prior year. Comcast has kept those improvements coming — it has reported reduced video-customer losses in nine of the past 10 quarters.
Cable division president and CEO Neil Smit has his sights set on reversing the decade-long cable-industry trend of annual subscriber losses, stating that the goal is to bring Comcast back into video-subscriber gains in the future.
A substantial housing-market gain and an overall improvement in the economy could help, but Comcast is trying to grease the runway. The cable giant has consistently launched new products every quarter — it has the largest on-demand library of any operator and has made huge strides in bringing that content to every device in a consumer's home, through TV Everywhere, iPad apps and its subscription-based multiscreen VOD service Streampix.
On the technology front, Comcast began rolling out its cloud-based user interface, the X1, in major markets earlier this year and expects to have the IP-based platform available in all of its markets by the end of the year. A new platform — dubbed the X2, which will include a cloud-based DVR — will begin rolling out next year.
While the X1 and the X2 have been called "game-changers," offering an elegant solution for customers to navigate through the growing sea of content online, on-demand and elsewhere, plans to share the technology with other operators on a licensing basis may prove to be truly transformative for the industry.
While only a concept at the moment, Comcast chairman and CEO Brian Roberts said in interviews with Multichannel News earlier in the month that the company could license X1 to other operators, giving the industry a truly ubiquitous, standards- based interface which is easily upgraded and modified via the cloud.
Roberts and Smit, the two chief architects of Comcast's cable strategy, sat down earlier this month with MCN editor-in-chief Mark Robichaux and senior finance editor Mike Farrell at Comcast's Philadelphia headquarters to discuss just how the operator has managed its consistent performance and what it believes the future holds.

Useful Forms: (accumulated-persistence t) ; activate statistics gathering

Generally speaking, the more ACL2 knows, the slower it runs. That is because the search space grows with the number of alternative rules. Often, the system tries to apply rules that you have forgotten were even there, if you knew about them in the first place! ``Accumulated-persistence'' is a statistic (originally developed for Nqthm) that helps you identify the rules that are causing ACL2's search space to explode.
Accumulated persistence tracking can be turned on or off. It is generally off. When on, the system runs about two times slower than otherwise! But some useful numbers are collected. When it is turned on, by
ACL2 !>(accumulated-persistence t)an accumulation site is initialized and henceforth data about which rules are being tried is accumulated into that site. That accumulated data can be displayed with
as described in detail below. When accumulated persistence is
turned off, with
(accumulated-persistence nil), the accumulation
site is wiped out and the data in it is lost.
The ``accumulated persistence'' of a rune is the number of runes the system has attempted to apply (since accumulated persistence was last activated) while the given rune was being tried.
Consider a
rewrite rule named
rune. For simplicity, let us imagine
rune is tried only once in the period during which accumulated
persistence is being monitored. Recall that to apply a rewrite rule
we must match the left-hand side of the conclusion to some term we
are trying to rewrite, establish the hypotheses of
rune by
rewriting, and, if successful, then rewrite the right-hand side of
the conclusion. We say
rune is ``being tried'' from the time we
have matched its left-hand side to the time we have either abandoned
the attempt or finished rewriting its right-hand side. (By
``match'' we mean to include any loop-stopper requirement;
see loop-stopper.) During that period of time other rules
might be tried, e.g., to establish the hypotheses. The rules tried
rune is being tried are ``billed'' to
rune in the sense
that they are being considered here only because of the demands of
rune. Thus, if no other rules are tried during that period,
the accumulated persistence of
rune is
1 -- we ``bill''
once for its own application attempt. If, on the other hand, we
10 rules on behalf of that application of
rune, then
rune's accumulated persistence would be
One way to envision accumulated persistence is to imagine that every time a rune is tried it is pushed onto a stack. The rules tried on behalf of a given application of a rune are thus pushed and popped on the stack above that rune. A lot of work might be done on its behalf -- the stack above the rune grows and shrinks repeatedly as the search continues for a way to use the rune. All the while, the rune itself ``persists'' in the stack, until we finish with the attempt to apply it, at which time we pop it off. The accumulated persistence of a rune is thus the number of stack frames built while the given rune was on the stack.
Note that accumulated persistence is not concerned with whether the attempt to apply a rune is successful. Each of the rules tried on its behalf might have failed and the attempt to apply the rune might have also failed. The ACL2 proof script would make no mention of the rune or the rules tried on its behalf because they did not contribute to the proof. But time was spent pursuing the possible application of the rune and accumulated persistence is a measure of that time.
A high accumulated persistence might come about in two extreme ways. One is that the rule causes a great deal of work every time it is tried. The other is that the rule is ``cheap'' but is tried very often. We therefore keep track of the number of times each rule is tried as well as its persistence. The ratio between the two is the average amount of work done on behalf of the rule each time it is tried.
When the accumulated persistence totals are displayed by the
show-accumulated-persistence we sort them so that the most
expensive runes are shown first. We can sort according to one of
three keys:
:frames - the number of frames built on behalf of the rune :tries - the number of times the rune was tried :ratio - frames built per tryThe key simply determines the order in which the information is presented. If no argument is supplied to
:frames is used.
Note that a rune with high accumulated persistence may not actually
be the ``culprit.'' For example, suppose
rune1 is reported to have
:ratio of
101, meaning that on the average a hundred and one
frames were built each time
rune1 was tried. Suppose
rune2 has a
:ratio of
100. It could be that the attempt to apply
rune1 resulted
in the attempted application of
rune2 and no other rune. Thus, in
some sense,
rune1 is ``cheap'' and
rune2 is the ``culprit'' even
though it costs less than
Users are encouraged to think about other meters we could install in
ACL2 to help diagnose performance problems.

my camera caught what i could not see from in santiago, chile.
Born and at times housed along the riverbanks of the great St. Lawrence river in Lachine, Montreal until settling into the quiet sanctuaries of foster homes on Prince Edward Island. The chimney red clay roads wound effortlessly throughout the countryside up and over the green hills and through the spacious meadows filled with potato farms and struggling sheep ranchers. Wild blueberry patches and lavender flowers graced the green pastors with Spring time vitality and beauty that only a God could create and only a woman could appreciate and understand. Each river beckoned with hungry trout just begging for a fresh worm and a metal hook, almost daring Huck Finn enthusiasts to skip school and cast their bamboo lines into the mystical...

It's great to plug your PC into your TV, but it can be tough to interface with the damn thing once you move it to your living room. After all, the ubiquitous mouse & keyboard setup is designed for the desktop, not the coffee table.
You know the deal: your sweet PC, plugged right into your sweet TV, running all your best video games and movies in full HD, right there in your living room. And yet… something is holding you back. You have a wireless mouse plugged in, but you keep it on the coffee table and have to lean forward to use it, shaking the mouse when it gets out of range and stops responding. Ugh.
Enter Hippo Remote, a fantastic app that has turned my iPhone into a flexible, reliable remote for my PC. I've been using it for the past few weeks, and it's great. It's not the only iPhone remote app on the market, but it's certainly one I can wholeheartedly recommend.
You can see a short demo of the app in action to the side here. Basically, after a pretty simple setup where you download some software and pair your PC up with your phone, it allows you to turn your iPhone into a trackpad for your PC or, with the paid version, use any of a huge number of control templates for various applications. There's a VLC template if you watch lots of videos that way, as well WMC, Hulu Desktop, and just about every other media player, browser, or other popular program. With those templates, your phone really does become like a remote, covered with navigation controls, volume controls, and more. You can also save your logins with a login manager for easy access and create custom macros to perform just about any key combination with the touch of a button.
It's got all sorts of features that I haven't even begun to try—for a five dollar app, it's amazing, frankly. There's even a gamepad, if you want to turn your PC into a touch-screen gaming device, which I'm sure lots of folks here are just dying to do.
Hippo Remote works with Mac and Linux as well as Windows. I haven't tested it extensively with my Mac, but given how well it works with my PC, I have no reason to think it wouldn't work. As far as I know, it doesn't yet have a Windows 8 profile, so if you're on the new OS, you might want to try out the free version of the app to see if it works at all. I've been using it with Windows 7 and it's been smooth sailing.
The Pro Version costs $5 and comes with a bunch of pre-loaded templates, while the Lite Version gives you the basic trackpad and keyboard features.
After a few weeks using this thing, I've only scratched the surface of what it can do, but I have zero complaints. One more hurdle between me and a do-everything living-room PC just got taken down.

Tombstone Tuesday – Salinda E. (Rose) Breneman
Sherry Stocking Kline
December 8th, 2009
Salinda (Rose) Breneman, daughter of Eden and Elsie/Elcy Rose, is my great-grandmother on my mother's side.
Looking at this photo today, I wish I'd been better prepared to take tombstone photos. I should have had a soft whisk brush with me, a cloth, something to carry water to the stones, and perhaps even a tiny rake, or grass shears in some places.
Shown on the Stone:
Salinda E. Breneman
1855 – 1936
Great-grandmother Salinda is buried in the Milan Cemetery, Ryan Township, Sumner County, Kansas. The cemetery is about 12 miles west of Wellington, KS on Highway 160.
She is shown with her parents and siblings on the 1860 census when she is just 7 years old.
1860 Census 4 July 1860
Grand View Township, Louisa County, Iowa
Family 344 – 342
Edan Rose – 34 – M – Farm Labour
Elcy Rose – 32 – F
Abram (Abraham?) – 13 – M
Salinda – 7 – F
Absalom – 3 – M
Salinda Rose Breneman is the mother of Ira, Albert, Harvey, and Otto, Carrie and May. You can see photos of her children as well as a photograph of Albert's tombstone here.
Salinda was married to Constantine "Tom" Breneman, but they divorced later in life.
If you've done a family search for the Breneman or Rose families, and landed on this page, I hope you will leave a comment and contact info so we can share our research!

New Patient Appointment or 214-645-8300
Emphysema is a disease in which the lungs lose their elasticity and are less able to transfer oxygen to the bloodstream. The condition develops gradually, meaning that patients may experience increasing symptoms, such as shortness of breath during exercise or normal activity.
More than three million Americans have been diagnosed with emphysema, which is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. COPD is often underestimated because it's not diagnosed until it's already in advanced stages.
The best way to avoid emphysema and to keep it from getting worse is to stop smoking or not start smoking. It's also best to avoid being exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke. Other preventive measures include avoiding exposure to industrial dusts and chemicals, as well as indoor and outdoor air pollutants.
A gene, pleomorphic adenoma gene-like 2 (PLAGL2), has also been found to be a contributing factor to emphysema and lung cancer development, which is unrelated to cigarette smoking.
UT Southwestern Medical Center physicians have the expertise and medical resources needed to accurately diagnose and effectively treat emphysema.
A team approach provides patients access to the expertise needed to accurately diagnose and treat their emphysema. UT Southwestern's pulmonologists will precisely determine the best course of action for patients' diagnosis and treatment, and offer the most advanced health care options available in a caring and compassionate environment.
Our emphysema specialists can help patients reduce their symptoms, live more comfortably, and slow or prevent the disease's progression. Our physicians and researchers advise patients on actions that can reduce symptoms, including nicotine cessation. Quitting smoking is the single most important factor in relieving emphysema.
Our specialists may also prescribe a variety of therapies to help patients control their emphysema, which, depending on their condition, may include bronchodilator drugs, antibiotics, exercise, steroids, or surgery.
In severe cases of emphysema, UT Southwestern surgeons can perform lung volume reduction surgery. The surgery involves removing the diseased portions of the lung, allowing the remaining portions of the lungs to function more effectively.
The most severe cases of emphysema may be eligible for lung transplant surgery. Over a recent 30-month period, our lung transplant program was rated the best in the nation for achieving the highest survival rate for one-year post-transplant patients. Since the lung transplant program began in 1990, it has consistently ranked among the top 10 in the United States.

Feel the atmosphere of the "Wiener Werkstätte"
In 1903, the artists Josef Hoffman and KolomanMoser established the
Wiener Werkstätte together with the banker Fritz Wärndorfer. This marked the
foundation of an institution which became the educator of the entire civilised world through exemplary noble work and exquisite taste, and raised the best of Viennese nature to real international significance.The Wiener Werkstätte, internationally the unequalled climax of arts & crafts in the 20th century, with a lasting effect to the
present day through its amazingly modern approach, was entered into the commercial register as Productive Cooperative of Artisans in Vienna.?Its object was to reunite function and form in a time of inferior mass production and mindless imitation of bygone styles. The technical means for achieving this, was excellent craftsmanship. Our strength shall lie in good proportions and deft treatment of materials, as Hoffman and Moser put it in the work programme published in 1905.
The idea of art pervading all spheres of life had already been made an issue within the Wiener Secession movement in the fin de siécle period. To the Wiener Werkstätte, no object was trivial enough for not being designed or refined by artists and artisans. In addition to the activity of the construction office affiliated with the Wiener Werkstätte, the art community designed and manufactured furniture, tableware, cutlery, jewellery, enamel work, book covers, tapestry and various stationary goods. But the range also included art postcards and fashion in all its manifestations.
Apart from a great number of free-lancers and regular contributors like Gustav Klimt, with regard to the Palais Stoclet in Brussels by the architect Josef Hoffmann,
Oskar Kokoschka, whose book Die träumenden Knaben was published by the
Wiener Werkstätte in 1908, and Egon Schiele, who designed postcards, it was notably Carl Otto Czeschka (silverwork and textiles), Bertold Löffler, Michael Powolny and Vally Wieselthier (ceramics), Eduard Wimmer-Wisgrill and Max Snischek (fashion) who shaped the image of the Wiener Werkstätte.
As a result of the hard post-World-War-I period and an undeniable decay of style, the Wiener Werkstätte was closed down in 1932.

FYI: In the search results for "content slider" this script is mislabeled as Featured Content Slider v2.4 not v2.5.
The following is a description of very odd behavior and I haven't been able to fully explain the behavior as I can not currently reproduce it myself.
What happens: On my client's website (PrincetonComputerTutor.com), when the Featured Content Slider v2.5 script is functioning, on his Win7 computer using FireFox browser, some words are made into advertising links (e.g., tutoring, phone, computer, etc.). The words becoming links change over time. This does not happen on Mac or in any other browsers on Win7 and in no browser on XP.
Okay, so now you are going to say he has malware on his computer... That was my first thought too, but here is why I'm not sure that is the case...
#1 His website also has these links when viewed from one of his client's computers but only on her Win7 with IE.
#2 When I was first developing his page, in WeBuilder Editor preview, I was also getting these links. But I changed one of the scripts I was using and I never saw them again. I've never seen them on his actual site even though I am using Win7 with FireFox.
#3 When I comment-out the Featured Content Slider v2.5 script, he does not see the links any more. When I let Featured Content Slider v2.5 function again, the links come back.
#4 We systematically removed all javascript from the page, the only thing that makes the links disappear is removing the Content Slider script.
#5 I've checked his site/server for malware - there is none.
#6 I even changed the ShareThis bar for an AddThis bar but that did nothing. Removing both of these scripts does not change the links.
My client is going to do some additional virus scans to see if he can find anything on his computer. But, I find it odd that removing this content slider would effect the links he sees on the website... If you have ANY thoughts on what could be going on, I'd greatly appreciate it!!

With Tank Deals, Turkey Focuses on Arms Exports
Two Turkish companies are in separate talks with Saudi Arabia and Indonesia to co-produce and sell scores of new-generation battle tanks, officials and industry sources here said.
The deals would signal Turkeys ability to produce vehicles for export after years of being an arms importer. At the same time, a deal with the Saudis would politically cement ties with Turkey against the Iranian-led Shia bloc of countries, sources said.
They said Turkish armored vehicles maker Otokar could sell hundreds of its third-generation tank, the Altay. Meanwhile, rival manufacturer FNSS Defence Systems is close to inking a deal to co-produce medium tanks with an Indonesian partner.
Otokar designed and is producing prototypes of the Altay in a deal to sell four 250-unit batches to the Turkish military. The Turkish Army has 720 German-made Leopard 1 and 2 tanks, 930 American M-60s and 1,370 M-48s, most of which are Cold War-era tanks and need replacement.
One company source confirmed talks with Saudi Arabia but gave no further details. One senior procurement official familiar with Turkish arms exports said Turkey hoped to cut a future deal with Saudi Arabia for the Altay.
The Altay is not available for immediate sale but is potentially a powerful export product when you think of a medium-term deal. Saudis are good customers with available cash, good political ties and their need for new tanks. We are hopeful about a future deal [for the Altay], the official said. He added that other countries were interested in buying the Altay but declined to name them.
Saudi Arabia has 320 elderly French AMX-30 tanks in need of replacement. Saudi Arabia and Turkey, along with Qatar, are spearheading efforts to oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The three Muslim countries, with support from the United States and most Western countries, support rebel forces fighting Assads Army in a civil war that has taken nearly 100,000 lives in two years.
Adding a defense industry dimension to their ties would augment the Turkish-Saudi alliance against Iran, said a Western military attaché here.
But Turkey could face competition. France has proposed replacing Saudi Arabias AMX-30s with the AMX-56 Leclerc. The Otokar official said the 65-ton Altay better meets the Saudi requirement than does the 55-ton Leclerc.
Also, we have almost excellent government-to-government relations with the Saudis, the official said.
Industry sources said the Altay is similar to Saudi Arabias 400 M1 tanks. Both have a 120mm gun, composite armor and high-end electronics.
In 2008, Otokar signed a US $500 million contract with Turkeys procurement office. Under the deal, Otokar will build four Altay prototypes this year, two years ahead of schedule. The four prototypes will undergo performance tests throughout 2013.
The procurement office selected South Koreas Hyundai Rotem for technical support. Turkeys Aselsan is the subcontractor for the fire control system and command, control and communications information system. Also, state-owned MKEK was selected as the subcontractor for the 120mm primary weapon, while Roketsan will provide the armor.
Procurement officials say the serial-production agreement for the Altay would be effective probably in 2017, and together with the expected foreign orders.
In a separate deal, Turkey and Indonesia agreed during the Turkish arms exhibition IDEF13 this month to jointly develop medium tanks
Under the deal, Ankara-based, privately owned armored vehicles maker FNSS Defence Systems will work with Indonesias state-owned arms maker, PT Pindad.
Indonesia has chosen Turkey and FNSS because of our internationally acknowledged experience and advanced technology in this field, one FNSS official said.
He said the co-production project will come into shape in four years. We are now working to officially submit proposals to jointly design, develop and manufacture the medium tank, he said.
FNSS has developed technology in a tracked propulsion system while Pindad has technology in wheeled propulsion systems. Indonesia hopes to learn tracked as well as other technological capabilities with this cooperation, the procurement official said.
FNSS produces wheeled and tracked armored combat and amphibious assault vehicles, personnel carriers and weapons systems.
The company announced May 21 that it launched its new tracked armored anti-tank reconnaissance vehicle, the Kaplan (Tiger in Turkish).

Joe Flacco won't have to do much negotiating after this.
The Baltimore Ravens' low-key quarterback put off talks on a new contract until after the season. Now when he and the Ravens sit down, all he'll have to do is show off his Super Bowl MVP trophy.
``It's cool,'' Flacco said after Baltimore's 34-31 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. ``We just won a Super Bowl. That's the last thing I'm concerned about. But (owner Steve Bisciotti) did let me know that if that day came, I could go beat on his desk and really put it to him.
``So that's exactly what I'm going to do.''
Flacco capped a perfect postseason, throwing three touchdown passes in the first half to stake the Ravens to a lead they would never relinquish. When the 49ers made a furious comeback after a power outage interrupted the third quarter for 34 minutes, Flacco was cool and controlled.
Let the Niners make their run, he almost seem to say, we'll hold our own.
``You've seen these guys do it,'' Flacco said. ``They have the ability to score and to score quickly, and that's what they did.''
But the Ravens defense made a spectacular stand late in the fourth quarter, stopping San Francisco not once, not twice, but three times on the Baltimore 5. A safety gave San Francisco one last chance, but the Ravens went hard after Colin Kaepernick again, and his last-gasp pass was way off the mark.
Flacco finished 22-of-33 for 287 yards. He didn't throw an interception - didn't throw one the entire postseason, to be precise. His 11 touchdowns in the postseason matched a record set by Joe Montana.
``That's pretty cool,'' Flacco said. ``Joe Montana is my favorite quarterback so it's pretty cool.''
So is being the Super Bowl MVP.
Truth is, the trophy could have gone to a number of the Ravens. But Flacco is happy to have it.
``They have to give it to one guy,'' Flacco said, laughing. ``I'm not going to complain that I got it.''

Solar Thermal Mass Windows – Free Passive Solar Heat
Although winter is finally over, it is still somewhat cold outside and we have to turn on the heat. Recently, I have found a very interesting product which can be used by anyone to heat their home or apartment for free. Even if you rent, you can do it without getting the land lord involved. The only things you'll need are south-facing windows and a thermal mass solar window.
As you can see from the image above these windows measure 72 degrees F, while outside temperature that day was 22 degrees, with a 27 F high. (Historic weather data).
The 50 degree difference in temperature is the free heat that enters your home and stays. Here is how the Solar Thermal Mass windows work in a nut shell: it as a 2 inches thick air and water-tight container filled with special liquid that collects and stores solar thermal energy. Special chemicals added to the liquid prevent stain deposits on the inner walls if the unit. In the picture above, these units are used as building blocks, and cover almost half of the south-facing wall.
In the winter, when the sun is low, these windows collect solar heat since the sun hits them directly. In the summer, the sun is much higher and with appropriate shading, these thermal mass windows keep the home well insulated without collecting any heat. Additionally, a special low emittance and high solar gain argon filled window unit is installed just outside the thermal windows, so they are not directly exposed to the outside temperature.
How to heat your existing house for free
The picture above was taken in a new construction house, but for most people the interesting question is how to use these thermal mass windows in an existing home or apartment?
My plan was simple: I have 6 large windows that face south and an unheated balcony, which cannot be used in the winter because it is too cold there. In the heated living space, we have new double pane Low-E windows installed, which are much more efficient than the original single-pane wood windows from the 50's. I am going to build an enclosure in which I can stack 4-6 thermal mass solar window units, and have them up in the window during the winter months, and take them out in the summer.
This will not be as efficient as the one in the new construction home above, but it will certainly help reduce my heating bill and carbon footprint.
As for the balcony, I first need to replace all the single-pane glazing and then I can stack the thermal mass windows all along the bottom of the windows. I'll build special shelves to make the process of putting them up for the winter, and removing them in the summer, easier.
Traditional Sash Windows – Thermal Performance Solution
Here is how to make your traditional sash windows more energy efficient…
Traditional vertical sliding sash windows, are based on a simple design of two of sliding glass panels (top and bottom sashes) and have been part of the UK's architectural heritage for over three hundred years. The sash window originates from 17th century England, where the first prototype, the single hung sash window, was created by Robert Hooke, an inventor who specialized in mechanics and architecture. The first type was more basic than those created nowadays and can still be seen in some historic buildings, predominantly of aristocratic ownership.
Instead of replacing traditional sash windows, there are multiple reasons why owners should opt for restoring them to their initial appearance and at the same time optimize their thermal performance.
Sash Window Repair
It is best for the restoration process to be carried out by specialized companies and it should always be adapted to the specific type of sash windows and its particular deficiencies. Common sash window repair works (http://www.sashwindows.co.uk/services/sash-window-repairs.html) include: replacing sections of the box frame (normally the lower section of pulley stiles), lower sections of outer linings, bottom rails and window sills and replacing missing puttying and repainting. Using traditional carpentry and joinery methods with advanced modern epoxy resins ensures a permanent repair. This process does not alter their original appearance but instead, mends the alterations brought to it by time and natural phenomena.
Sash Window Draught Proofing
This is also a very effective process, and if done correctly, it maximizes heat retention in the home and minimizes heat and energy loss. Sash window draught proofing is less known perhaps, yet once a sash window has been overhauled and draught correctly, even old sash windows can equal or surpass modern ones in terms of energy efficiency.
In this process, the staff beads and parting beads are replaced with new beadings with a draught proofing material permanently machined into the beads, top and bottom sash re-fitted and also fitted with a draught proofing material (usually a brush pile).
weight to the correct counter balance ensuring the sash close with a minimum gap.

Don Chilcote's Blog
Every once in a while, a home run ball gets hit that is literally snagged by nobody. It lands in a spot inaccessible by fans and then for whatever reason doesn't get picked up by a stadium employee. For the hardcore ballhawk, such a ball will distract him for the rest of the game, keeping him occupied trying to think of a way to get to the ball and snag it.
Last week Colorado's Don Chilcote, AKA The Rockpile Ranter, attended a Spring Training game at Isotopes Park and spent much of the game obsessing over not one but two unclaimed home run balls. And when the game ended he went on a daring mission to retrieve the balls and returned victorious, snagging the 2nd and 3rd game home run balls of his career.
The first of two homers was a towering shot hit by Jason Giambi in the 5th inning that landed in the center field batter's eye. On his blog The Ranter recorded his thoughts at the moment. "I think to myself...'Wow...there's a Giambi homer just sitting there untouched' and I continue to watch the game."
Shortly thereafter, only an inning later, Brad Eldred launched a home run into almost the exact same spot. At that point both balls were clearly visible in the batter's eye, but no stadium personnel were going over to pick them up. "I found myself staring at the batter's eye thinking about those two baseballs," he wrote. "I was talking to my buddy Jack and mentioned the baseballs and the fact that they were just sitting there untouched."
So The Ranter began scheming, trying to devise a way to secure the balls. He was a man on a mission, and simply wouldn't be denied. "I realized at that point that I couldn't leave Isotopes stadium without those two home run baseballs in my possession."
He came up with a few different battle plans, but none were easy. The plan he settled on was to climb over a railing into the batter's eye, snag the balls, and then climb back up. This plan allowed for low visibility, but the climbing would be difficult.
As the last out was recorded in the 9th, he made his move. Capturing the entire episode on video, The Ranter pulled off his plan to perfection. "I was in and out of there in less than a minute and as far as I can tell I was smooth like butter," he wrote. "because I strutted out of Isotopes Park with both of those baseballs in my possession."
Watch the Ranter's Home Run Snags on YouTube
It was a bold and daring move, but according to the Ranter it just had to be done. "All I can say is had I not taken the chance and grabbed those two game homers it would have grinded on me for the rest of my life," he wrote.
Read the Rockpile Ranter's complete recap on his blog.

Welcome to the World of Bath Salt and escape into a world of total comfort, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Treat yourself to a luxurious experience...you deserve it! By taking a bath 2-3 times a week you can completely transform your mind body and soul.
What is Bath Salt?
A grain of true bath salt is, in fact, sea salt – so what makes bath salt different than plain sea salt?
Sea salt has been used by people around the world for centuries, and has long been known for its health benefits. Bath salt, as opposed to sea salt - comes in many different forms – go to any bath salt supplier and you will notice that bath salt comes in a variety of colors, textures, and sizes.
A grain of bath salt begins as raw sea salt, and carries many minerals that are beneficial to the skin. The quality of the bath salt depends on the supplier and the process it goes through on the way to the store's shelves. Bath salt can be harvested and sold in its raw form, or it can be heavily processed. When choosing your bath salts, you want to make sure the bath salt is 100% natural – when a bath salt is processed, it often loses all the original minerals and nutrients that carry all the added benefits – so it's important to choose a pure, natural bath salt.
Like a grain of sea salt, a bath salt can come in many sizes and textures. Depending on its size, a bath salt can take longer to dissolve (larger grains), or can dissolve quickly (smaller grains). A finer grain bath salt can be excellent to use in scrubs and provide excellent exfoliation. A larger-grain bath salt dissolves slowly – these are perfect for a long, decadent bathing experience.
The natural color of a grain of bath salt can vary, depending on the origin of the salt. A bath salt from the Himalayas is generally pinkish or even reddish in tone, whereas a bath salt from the Dead Sea is pure white or clear. From there, the salt can be infused with natural dyes and "painted" any color of the rainbow. You can choose a bath salt in any color of the rainbow, depending on your mood. Blue bath salts are soothing and calming; a bath salt that is orange, yellow, or red is energizing.
The minerals inside a high-quality bath salt promote healthy, more youthful skin. When you use a high quality bath salt, you'll find your skin will feel smoother and softer after your bath. Bath salt also helps purge impurities from your skin, resulting in a clean, radiant glow.
Sea salt is packed with minerals and nutrients – so when sea salt is used in the tub in the form of bath salt, it delivers amazing benefits. Bathing with bath salt is a wonderful way to relax, and the benefits reach far beyond the skin's surface: a high quality bath salt is believed to lower blood pressure, treat conditions such as arthritis and muscle soreness, and has powerful detoxifying properties.
And to gain all the benefits of bath salt, you don't need to pay an arm and a leg – you can have a spa-like experience in your own home for a fraction of the price. Happy bathing!

2011 Census
Key messages from the 2011 Census for each of Warwickshire's districts and boroughs have just been published by Warwickshire Observatory. The 2011 Census makes a major contribution to our knowledge about communities in the county; their changing age structure, ethnic composition, work and travel patterns etc. In turn, this information provides an important early indication of issues which may emerge in the future and helps public services and other agencies identify need and plan future service delivery.
Quality of Life Report
The Warwickshire Observatory, with input from Public Health Warwickshire, produce an annual Quality of Life in Warwickshire report, which provides a detailed look at the people, places and communities in our county. The report is an assessment of the demographic, social, economic and environmental themes that all play a part in influencing our residents' quality of life.
The need for this type of material is more important than ever, as increasingly limited resources need to be deployed in transparent, evidence-led ways. The Quality of Life report continues to provide local decision makers in the public, private, and voluntary sectors with that evidence base so that improving the lives of all of Warwickshire's residents remains our collective priority.

Taken from the BBC news website today…
Director Sir Ridley Scott is to direct a prequel to seminal sci-fi horror film Alien, according to reports.
Trade newspaper Variety said the 71-year-old would return to the franchise he began in 1979 with actors Sigourney Weaver and John Hurt.
Sir Ridley, who is currently directing Robin Hood, has not made a sci-fi movie since Blade Runner in 1982.
He was not involved in the three Alien sequels or the two Alien vs Predator spin-offs.
It is thought the prequel will tell the story of the events leading up to the original film, in which the crew of a commercial towing ship respond to a distress signal - only to discover it was generated by an empty ship that was meant to warn them.
The film will be written by Jon Spaihts, who has also penned Keanu Reeves' space film project Passengers, after he pitched his idea for the reboot to Twentieth Century Fox and Sir Ridley's production company.
Alien, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, won an Oscar for best visual effects in 1980.

SCARBOROUGH — Efforts to repeal a new wide-ranging leash law began Thursday morning, about 12 hours after councilors approved the restrictions by a 5-2 vote.
The amendments to the animal control ordinance expanded proposed changes limiting the dates dogs could be off-leash on town beaches to require dogs be kept on leashes year round on all town property.
Residents who were opposed to eliminating "voice control" for dogs on town beaches on summer mornings, including former Councilor Sue Foley-Ferguson, found the expanded restrictions stunning.
"The amended ordinance passed by the Scarborough Town Council tonight has many of us in complete shock," Foley-Ferguson said Wednesday in an email.
Her sister, Lucky Lane resident Katy Foley, went to Town Hall Thursday to craft a petition to overturn the ordinance changes, Town Clerk Tody Justice said.
A repeal petition requires signatures from registered voters equal to 25 percent of the total ballots cast in the last gubernatorial election. Signatures must be gathered in a 20-day period.
Katy Foley said Monday the petitions can be signed at Town Hall and the Dog Paws Inn at 373 Gorham Road. Visit www.dogpawsinn.com for operating hours.
If a petition is certified, it will be forwarded to councilors, who must schedule a public hearing within 30 days and an election 30 days after that. To repeal the ordinance amendments, the referendum must be approved and attract a turnout of 25 percent of town voters.
Councilors acted in part because of the July 15 death of an endangered piping plover on Pine Point Beach.
The bird was killed by an off-leash dog owned by Scarborough resident Rachel Speed, who cooperated with Maine Game Warden Tim Spahr's investigation and was not charged in the incident.
Also on the agenda was a vote on a consent agreement with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to reduce a proposed agency fine from $12,000 to $500 for the town's lack of oversight in protecting the birds.
The consent agreement was approved by a 4-3 vote, with Council Vice Chairwoman Judy Roy and Councilors Jessica Holbrook and Kate St. Clair opposed.
Conditions included in the agreement require the town to create and fund the position of a piping plover coordinator for five years; provide a "law enforcement presence" on town beaches during nesting season; and ensure updated information on the species and its habitat are distributed to people who obtain dog licenses, beach passes, and permits to ride horses on town beaches.
The agreement holds the town harmless from further fines for five years, unless the animal control ordinance is repealed, which would allow the agency to assess the $12,000 fine proposed last month.
Councilors were urged to reject the agreement because it gave away too much local authority and could be more costly than the proposed $12,000 fine.
"This settlement is just one more encroachment. We need to maintain local control and local authority," Wynmoor Drive resident Cathy Dragoni said.
The scope of changes stunned a crowd of about 40 at the meeting; many demanded a fuller explanation of the vote, even as councilors tried to move on to other agenda items.
"This is way beyond what even the feds required and this was never discussed previously in any of the meetings. We feel blindsided to say the least," Foley-Ferguson said.
Roy said the coordinator position had been created in June 2012 as part of a beach management agreement with the federal government and was filled by an employee already working in the town Community Services Department.
St. Clair proposed the town-wide leash law, hoping it would lead to creation of town dog parks. Her motion was approved 4-3 with Roy, Holbrook and Chairman Ronald Ahlquist opposed.
Ahlquist later voted in favor of the overall ordinance changes, leaving Roy and Holbrook in the minority.
Councilors were also urged to accept offers from residents to pay the $12,000 fine initially proposed by Andrew Tittler, an acting assistant regional solicitor for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
Town Manager Tom Hall said he knew of at least two offers to pay the fine, but the offers were not discussed by the council.
Hall said the consent agreement was a disappointment, but he tried to get the best deal he could for the town. He said he preferred clearer language and better protection from future liability.
"The premise that brought us together was disappointing," Hall said. "There was a terrible overreach of authority."
Hall noted town conservation and species protection efforts have been recognized by the agency and the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
"It reminds me of the adage 'no good deed goes unpunished,'" he said.
Updated Oct. 7 for locations where repeal petition can be signed.

José Antonio Rijo Abreu (born May 13, 1965) is a Dominican former right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball who spent the majority of his career with the Cincinnati Reds (1988–1995 and 2001–2002).
Plagued by injuries during his career, he left the major leagues at age 30 before returning six years later for one and a half seasons. Rijo is perhaps best known for his performance in the 1990 World Series, when he recorded two victories in a four-game sweep over the defending champion Oakland A's, including a two-hitter in the final Game Four. Rijo's performance earned him the World Series MVP Award as the Reds won their first championship in fourteen years.
When Rijo broke into the majors with the New York Yankees in 1984, he was 18 years old and the youngest player in either league. The previous year, he'd had a 15–5 record in the Florida League with a 1.68 ERA. But he did not have a good rookie season, and some observers (notably ESPN) commented that Yankee owner George Steinbrenner had orchestrated the call-up, hoping to create a phenom along the lines of the crosstown Mets' 1984 rookie sensation Dwight Gooden. When this did not happen, Rijo was sent to the Oakland A's as part of a trade package for Rickey Henderson.

Hidden camera policy downed by board
Board approval tricky when it can't make secret decisions
A flaw in a proposed policy that would set rules and guidelines for school administrators to surreptitiously photograph employees or others on school district property was voted down by the board of education Monday night. The move came after the same policy was passed by the board two weeks ago, which was due for a second reading and vote.
"I'm going to recommend we not do the second reading," Jacob Jensen, district superintendent, told the board during its regular meeting Monday night. "If we leave it as it is, it won't work."
At issue is a sentence in the policy that states the board of education must approve any secret video recording "before it commences."
However, it was brought to light that by law the board is not allowed to make decisions behind closed doors. The policy, as it was written, would require a public disclosure and vote before school administration would be allowed to surreptitiously – secretly- record employees, thus giving away the secret.
"I can't do surreptitious recording that way," Jensen said, "It won't work."
Jensen suggested the board consult the school district's attorney for guidance in re-crafting the new policy; possibly inserting language that would require the attorney, John Sedor, advise the board if and when secret video might be considered on school property. The matter would then fall under the rules of client/attorney privilege, which allows for closed-door decisions.
In an interview two weeks ago, Jensen said he believed Sedor's involvement would probably be needed anyway if a situation developed within the district where school administrators felt there was a need to secretly take video of people on district property.
During Monday night's meeting, Jensen suggested the language could also be changed to direct school administration to notify the board president before secretly recording within the district.
It was also suggested the language could be revised back to the language used in an original draft of the policy that only required the superintendent to notify the board such recording had occurred at its first regular meeting, after-the-fact.
Dr. Kathy Todd rejected the notion, stating she was not comfortable allowing secret video to occur within the district without board approval.
The board has been working to craft a policy regarding secret video on district property since a school custodian discovered a video camera hidden in a ceiling tile in the teacher lounge at Gilson Jr. High School. A second camera hidden inside a digital clock was later found at Valdez High School.
Teachers, administrators and district staff were outraged at the discovery of the cameras, which were placed by custodial supervisors to spy on lower-level staff. The outrage turned to disbelief when it was discovered that not only was the secret video not illegal, but there was no district policy in place addressing hidden cameras.
The policy under consideration forbids all secret audio recording within the district, but does not disallow disclosed recording of video of public events, training sessions or other approved activities.

City officials received plans Wednesday for the multi-million dollar Sheetz distribution and food manufacturing center coming to Burlington.
Burlington�s Technical Review Committee, which reviews plans on a bi-weekly basis, will have to sign off on the 250,000-square-foot center before the plans go through the permitting process, which is typically the longest procedure in building construction, said City Planner Daniel Shoffner. The committee will take its first look at the plans Feb. 28.
However, the 44 acres at 1737 Whites Kennel Road in Burlington won�t need rezoning, since the property is already zoned Planned Industrial-Residential District.
�It makes the process faster,� Shoffner said.
The property will have to be annexed, though, since it lies just outside city limits.
�They will be submitting a voluntary annexation petition as part of this project,� Shoffner said.
Project engineers with The Dennis Group, LLC, from Springfield, Mass., will be handling the $32.8 million project, and the architect listed for the center�s design is Alan H. Rice, R.A.
The distribution and food manufacturing center is expected to eventually provide 254 jobs, and will lighten the load of the Sheetz distribution center in Claysburg, Pa.
In September, Executive Vice President of Sheetz Distribution Services Ray Ryan told Burlington City Council that vans delivery every night to roughly 450 Sheetz stores.
�Part of this (project) is to cut some of that mileage,� Ryan said.
The distribution center slated for Burlington will be slightly smaller than the one in Pennsylvania, which has 390,000 square feet of space and an adjacent 140,000-square-foot Sheetz Bros. Kitchen. But the Burlington location will be built to allow for future expansion, Ryan said.
When he met with Alamance County commissioners in September, Ryan said the site would include a fueling station for Sheetz distribution trucks, and about eight tractor-trailers and roughly 12 smaller vans would visit the Burlington center each day.
Ryan also told commissioners the N.C. Department of Transportation plans to widen part of Whites Kennel Road to serve the center.
Sheetz Inc. is receiving incentives and funding from the city, county and state for the project, including a package from the city that could exceed $1 million and includes providing water and sewer line extensions to the site.
Alamance County is providing $1,120,000 in incentives, and the state has awarded grants contingent on local matches or targets such as new job creation.
The Sheetz Inc. announcement in September said the company hopes to break ground at the Whites Kennel Road location in August 2013, and take occupancy by August 2014.

First in a series of articles on the Architecture of Muslim Spain and North Africa (756-1500AD). A brief historical background on the Muslim architectural achievement concentrating on important historical and architectural monuments.
The Islamisation of North Africa and Spain transformed their socio-cultural and economic structures from poverty and darkness to prosperity and enlightenment.
This had engendered major advances in architecture and art. In building, this region, especially Andalusia, produced some of the world most fascinating architectural monuments comprising a number of palaces, mosques and gardens.
The series of short aritcles linked below (taken from the full article, see resources below) give a brief historical background on the process of Islamisation of the region, explores the architectural achievement concentrating on important historical and architectural monuments and provides a summary of the main innovative elements and their impact on Muslim as well as European Medieval architecture.
North African and Andalusian Architectural contribution
The series of the short articles provide a brief account which is by no mean a comprehensive survey of major monuments of the region but careful selection aimed at the identification of key edifices that produced innovative elements playing a leading role in the further development of Muslim architecture and having an inspirational impact on European and world architecture. The discussion, presented in the article, highlight a number of areas where Muslim architecture in North Africa and Andalusia made significant contributions, particulary in the following:
- North African square towers and minarets had a significant contribution in the development of European church towers. The use of square shape in the form of added sections with decreased size, the dual system of blind base and decorated top sections, and the erection of the tower near the entrance gate were inspirations from Muslim North Africa.
- Andalusian and North African Muslims mastered the use and construction of arches. Their ultimate understanding of the properties of the arch appear in the technical innovation of achieving standard height by stretching, or super-imposing arcades of semi-circular or multifoil arches as seen in Cordoba Mosque and Quairawan of Tunisa.
- The extensive use of horseshoe and multifoil arches in the Mosque of Cordoba and Al-Zahra was the source of inspiration for their European adoption.
- There are suggestions which also relate the source of European adoption of the pointed arch to North Africa. Historic evidence revealed that Constantine the African, who played a leading role in the transfer of Muslim Medicine into Europe and the establishment of Salerno School of Medicine, was staying at Monte Cassimo monastery at the time it was under reconstruction in 1080, when the pointed arch was employed for the first time in Europe. A Christian from Tunisia, where the pointed arch was used since the 9th century, Constantine and his Muslim servant must have showed the Amalfitan builders the advantages and how to build the pointed arch.
- The use of polychromy in Cordoba and Al-Zahra was also another inspiration for Europe's adoption of polychromy decore.
- The technical innovation in the construction of dome vaults through the introduction of ribs organised in various shapes including the eight pointed star which appeared in Cordoba Mosque and Bab Mardum was imitated first in European domes and later inspired the Gothic vaults.
