Best & Worst Beauty Of The Week: Alicia Keys, Kate Middleton, Lady Gaga And More (PHOTOS)

This week in beauty we learned how to do a "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" inspired manicure, that Dolly Parton "used a burnt matchstick for eyeliner" (seriously) along with other backwoods beauty tips from the country singer and that we can eat our way to better, less dry skin -- now that's a beauty ritual we can get into!

Now, we're shifting our focus to the red carpet, showcasing the best, worst and most interesting examples of hair, makeup and nails that we came across this week. Take a look, get inspired and vote for your faves!

  • BEST: Alicia Keys

    We still can't get enough of <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/25/alicia-keys-style-evolution_n_1230546.html">Alicia Keys'</a> short 'do. The 31-year-old singer went for the chop in July (showing it off to her <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/20/alicia-keys-short-haircut_n_1689673.html">Twitter following</a>, she's still rockin' the bob. Not only was <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/28/alicia-keys-on-fire-photo-2012_n_2198478.html">her outfit</a> at a November 26th radio appearance spot on, her <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/06/alicia-keys-paris-fashion-week_n_1323527.html">beauty look</a> was smokin'. She kept eye makeup to a minimum with only eyeliner and mascara to keep the focus on her <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/29/best-lipstick-orange-pink_n_1444136.html">coral color</a> lips. Dusty rose blush finished off the look, giving her a radiant glow.

  • WORST: Nicole Kidman

    The usually <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/23/nicole-kidman-emmys-2012-dress_n_1908154.html">flawless</a> Nicole Kidman was off her <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/19/nicole-kidman-photos-pictures-fashion_n_1607068.html">A game</a> at the Australians In Film Screening of "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/01/the-paperboy-trailer-nicole-kidman-zac-efron-urinate_n_1729865.html">The Paperboy</a>" on November 25th. Kidman's typically vibrant strawberry blonde hair looked flat, damaged and downright messy. In addition her dark eyeliner looked especially harsh with her pale skin tone. Maybe Kidman should start taking tips from her daughter Sunday Rose, who's apparently a <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/04/nicole-kidman-daughter-su_n_791990.html">makeup artist in the making</a>.

  • BEST: Kate Middleton

    The big beauty news this week was Kate Middleton's new...gasp...<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/27/kate-middleton-natural-history-museum-green-dress_n_2199487.html?utm_hp_ref=kate-middleton">cut and color</a>. The face framing layers look fab on her, even on a <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/28/kate-middleton-prince-william-cambridge-glowing-photos_n_2203261.html?utm_hp_ref=kate-middleton">windy day</a> like it was on her visit to The Guildhall in Cambridge on November 28th. We love that she took a risk with this very <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/29/kate-middleton-bangs-hairstyle-how-to_n_2207242.html?utm_hp_ref=kate-middleton">'70s retro look</a>. In typical <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/13/kate-middleton-did-her-ow_n_795725.html">Middleton style </a>, she kept her face fairly bare opting only for lovely pink <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/07/blush-video_n_947130.html">blush</a>. Work it, Kate!

  • WORST: Lady Gaga

    We love how <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/07/mila-kunis-dating-2012_n_1328174.html?utm_hp_ref=lady-gaga">opinionated</a> Lady Gaga is, especially about her recent <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/25/lady-gaga-weight-singer-bulimic-teenager_n_1913701.html?utm_hp_ref=lady-gaga">weight gain</a> and the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/29/lady-gaga-pope-gay-marriage_n_1925324.html?utm_hp_ref=lady-gaga">causes she believes in</a> but her makeup choices...we're not so into. When she arrived at South Africa's Lanseria Airport on November 27th, she sported what looked like a blonde bob wig and a pair of giant shades. We've seen some <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/napoleon-perdis/going-gaga-for-lady-gaga_b_396446.html">unconventional beauty choices</a> from Mother Monster before, but this recent incognito <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/03/80s-fashion-photos_n_1642744.html">80s</a> inspired look was still a bit of a surprise.

  • BEST: Karlie Kloss

    Model Karlie Kloss is having a great year: She's the host of MTV's "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/06/house-of-style-hosts-karlie-kloss-joan-smalls_n_1863089.html?utm_hp_ref=karlie-kloss">House of Style</a>" and has been linked to a<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/09/karlie-kloss-joshua-kushner-dating-_n_2101542.html?utm_hp_ref=karlie-kloss"> slew of cuties</a>. Not to mention she's the face of the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/30/karlie-kloss-target-neiman-marcus-collaboration_n_1719122.html?utm_hp_ref=karlie-kloss">Target + Neiman Marcus collection</a>. At the launch event on November 28th, the 20-year-old looked <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/12/victorias-secret-karlie-kloss-2012-photo_n_2094569.html?utm_hp_ref=karlie-kloss">radiant</a> with that wispy short hairstyle we first spotted at the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/08/victorias-secret-fashion-show-2012_n_2090362.html?utm_hp_ref=karlie-kloss">Victoria's Secret show</a>. She looked fresh faced with only eyeliner, blush to contour her already amazing cheekbones and lipgloss. Well played, Karlie!

  • WORST: Leighton Meester

    Although the naturally beautiful actress<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/09/leighton-meester-style_n_1409547.html"> Leighton Meester</a> always looks great <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/16/leighton-meester-uptown-downtown-beauty_n_965388.html">with</a> or <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/26/leighton-meester-without-makeup_n_1032261.html">without makeup</a>, her recent <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/26/leighton-meester-hair-cut-photos_n_2023171.html">hair cut</a> has posed a challenge. At the Target+ Neiman Marcus Holiday Celebration she rocked a red pout but we weren't a fan of the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/05/leighton-meester-gossip-girl_n_1940129.html">ex-Gossip Girl's</a> tight pompadour hairstyle. We say go for loose locks a la Karlie Kloss instead.

  • Kate Bosworth

    Actress Kate Bosworth is a bonafide <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/13/kate-bosworth-photo_n_1961832.html">fashion plate</a>, and when it comes to her beauty look she knows what works for her. She often opts for more natural and easy styles that display her <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2012/04/16/kate-bosworth-hairstyles-_n_1429604.html">natural beauty</a>. At the Target + Neiman Marcus Holiday Collection event she stayed with pink hues on her cheeks and <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/15/best-makeup-pink-lipstick_n_1512928.html">lips</a> and went with just a little bit of shimmer around her her eyes. But we suspect that besides her luminous foundation, the glow might also have something to do with her new <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/06/kate-bosworth-engaged-michael-polish-wed_n_1861267.html">engagement</a>.

  • Kelly Osbourne

    Kelly Osbourne would never be described as understated. The Fashion Police host has had hair <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/26/kelly-osbourne-makeup-photos_n_1033182.html">every shade of the rainbow</a> and even got a <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/27/kelly-osbourne-manicure-diamonds_n_1918663.html">$250,000 black diamond manicure</a> for the Emmys. Although we're sometimes fans of Kelly's looks (her <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/05/kelly-osbourne-gray-hair-_n_1255894.html">gray hair</a> being one of them) the odd hairstyle she sported at the W LOVE Hangover Ball on November 28th was definitely a miss. It looked rather well...tupe-like. Yikes! As always Kelly we appreciate your <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/12/kelly-osbourne-talks-body-confidence-glamour_n_1420424.html">confidence</a> but this style just wouldn't look good on anyone.

Get Your Finances in Order: a Few Tips | Personal Finance Blog ...

As we linger in the midst of post-recession and mild austerity, making and saving money may seem a tough task for many. However, there are a few canny little tricks that can be used to our advantages to make this task somewhat easier for many. Here?s some advice on getting your finances in order.

Say No to Payday Loans!

Due to the current economic climate and of course, the individual and personal throes of life, many Brits are struggling to make ends meet. Jobs are scarce, even many of those lucky enough to be working feel as if they?re being underpaid. Furthermore, rising living costs make most wages hard to survive off in the United Kingdom. In fact, recent reports have highlighted that more and more children are being forced to go to school hungry, due to a lack of resources at home.

To make things even worse, bank lending has somewhat subsisted since the recession and so, many Brits are unable to borrow off banks.

In such a climate, payday loans may seem to be an enticing option. However, a combination of immoral practices and extortionately high interest rates render payday loans as the worst option someone in financial difficulty could turn to. Payday loans may put food on the table and alleviate some of your financial distress for a moment, but this will only be a fleeting moment, which will end with you having even more money problems than prior to taking out the loan.

Say no to payday loans.

Tax Refunds

It may come as somewhat of a surprise, but a significant amount of business people miss out on thousands of pounds owed to them by the HMRC each year. In cases where the tax liability is less than the amount paid, money is likely to be owed to the payer in the form of tax refunds.

This can happen through a wide variety of circumstances and it may be best for you to hire expert assistance to discern whether or not you?re owed anything. However, rather than going for an expensive accountant, opt for one of the cheaper specialist firms that can be found online, such as RIFT at www.RIFTCapitalAllowances.com.

Work Harder, Earn More Money

The harder you work the more money you?ll earn. It really is as simple as that. Of course, the current situation in Britain at the moment is one of mass unemployment and a lack of job opportunities. However, working harder also applies to the unemployed, who have a responsibility to work harder in finding work.

After all, the more time you spend looking for a job, the more chances there?ll be of finding one.

How to use iTunes 11's new features (with the old look)

8 hrs.

Apple released its newest version of iTunes, and it's a complete overhaul to the entire program. As you'd?expect, that means there are a few cool (somewhat) hidden features. Here are some we've found especially helpful.

With any new iteration of software you're bound to have a bit of a learning curve as you get used to it.?iTunes? 11?is no different, and the first thing you're greeted to when you launch it is a completely different main screen. The big news with iTunes 11 is the new interface, but hidden beneath that is some pretty cool functionality you might not notice at first glance.

Yes, you can get the old iTunes look back (sidebar and all)
Let's start with what we're guessing is most people's main gripe: it looks different. It's true, it does, and if you're not a fan of browsing your music library with giant covers, and navigating drop-down menus, iTunes 11 is a bit annoying. The good news? You can get the old look back:

  • Get the sidebar back by clicking View > Show Sidebar (or hitting Alt+Cmd+S).
  • Get the status bar back by clicking View > Show Status Bar (or hit Command+/).
  • Click Songs in the top bar, and sort by Artist for the traditional list view.

Now, iTunes 11 should look about the same as iTunes 10.

Scan iTunes gift cards with your camera
Entering?in the code from a gift?certificate is always a bit annoying. With iTunes 11, all you need is a camera:

  • Head into the iTunes Store, and Click "Redeem" at the bottom of the screen under the "Manage" list (or?click this link)
  • Click "Use Camera"
  • Hold your gift card up to the camera and wait for it to register.

That's it! No more fumbling around typing a random string of letters and numbers together.

Expanded view replaces cover flow
Cover Flow is gone in iTunes 11 and it's replaced with the new "Expanded View." When you're viewing your library by Albums, simply select an album, and you get an expanded view right there with all the album info. It works a lot better than Cover Flow and makes it so you can quickly view album info without leaving the place you're at. You can either click the album art again, or the "X" in the right corner to make it go away.

Also, a fun fact: Expanded View uses the album artwork as a background for the view (see image at right), so it creates a different background for each album. You can disable this if you want under iTunes > Preferences > General Preferences. Just uncheck the "Use custom colors for open albums, movies, etc" box.

The 'up next' feature is actually awesome?
Ever have those moments where you're listening to a song and it reminds you of another song? You don't want to stop the song playing, but you do want to cue up the song you're thinking of. That's what "Up Next" lets you do. Instead of creating playlists for everything, you can create on-the-fly playlists of songs or albums.

You can do this from anywhere. Just right-click an album, artist, or song, click "Add to Up Next" and it's added to the queue. You can also click "Play Next" instead to add it to the top of the queue. To see what's in your queue, click the list button in the middle of iTunes, and to view the previously played tracks, click the little clock icon. "Up Next" replaces iTunes DJ/Party Shuffle, so if you're looking for those, you won't find them.

Your place is now saved across devices?
If you use a bunch of Apple products, say, an iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, one of the best new features in iTunes 11 is that it saves your progress in your media across all devices through iCloud. So, if you pause a movie, TV show, podcast, audiobook, or iTunes U file on your desktop, you can pick up right where you left off on another device.?

MiniPlayer is more functional
In older versions of iTunes, the MiniPlayer didn't do much except allow you to pause or skip tracks. Now, MiniPlayer allows you to search for new tracks, add new songs to the "Up Next" queue, and even control AirPlay volume.

To enable MiniPlayer, just click the window icon in the top right corner and iTunes will shrink down. When you mouse over the window, you can control playback or search for new tracks. Otherwise, it displays the currently playing track.

Preview history tracks what you listen to in the store?
The iTunes Store now tracks everything you listen to in its preview history panel. When you're in the store, click the list icon in the top right corner, and you're shown all the stuff you listened to recently. You can hit "Clear" to get rid of everything in the list Also worth noting is that provided you're signed in with iCloud, your previewed tracks on all your devices will sync here. So, if you preview a song on your iPhone, it will show in your preview history in iTunes.?

Search is now universal?
This isn't the most earth-shattering of news, but in iTunes 11 you have two main search areas: the store and your library. That's it. In previous versions you had to search separately for video, music, or podcasts. Now, it searches your entire local library, or the iTunes store for everything.

Also nice is the instant search results you get. Start typing a search, and iTunes starts delivering you results. Select what you want, and you're taken there directly. It's simple, but it works really well.

Apps get a list view for easy trimming
One of the most annoying things to do in older versions of iTunes was trimming down the apps downloaded on your computer. You had to do it in the Apps panel with large icons that seemed to take forever to load. Now you can do it with in a List View, and it supports the same basic sort options you get with music (Date Added, Purchase Date, Size, etc).

All you need to do is select the Apps tab, then click "List." This should come in really handy when you're cleaning out old apps you don't use anymore. Reader?shafnitz points out?this view has been around a little while, but if nothing else it's more prevalent now.

Is there a specific character skeleton we have to fill out? I'm actually quite interested in this RP since the plot is open/unclear/mysterious. That and I had a bias for the Darker than Black icon. :3

JK Rowling 'dismayed' at response to press report

(AP) ? Victims of press intrusion including writer J.K. Rowling on Friday urged Britain's political leaders to fully implement a judge's recommendations on regulating the country's often unruly newspapers.

Rowling, who was one of dozens of people who gave evidence about press intrusion last year during a media ethics inquiry, said that she was "alarmed and dismayed" by Prime Minister David Cameron's lukewarm response to Lord Justice Brian Leveson's report, published Thursday to conclude the probe.

Leveson's 2,000-page report concluded that Britain's press sometimes "wreaked havoc with the lives of innocent people," and recommended the print media be regulated by a new body enshrined in law. Cameron said he welcomed the proposal, but was reluctant to set down new laws to back a press regulator because such a move could threaten freedom of the press.

Rowling wrote on the website of the Hacked Off group, which campaigns for victims of press intrusion, that she feared nothing will change to hold the press to account.

"Having taken David Cameron's assurances in good faith at the outset of the inquiry he set up, I am merely one among many who feel duped and angry in its wake," she wrote.

The 47-year-old writer had told of how journalists had driven her out of her home and targeted her 5-year-old daughter at school during the inquiry, triggered by a scandal over tabloid phone hacking that expanded to engulf senior figures in politics, the police and Rupert Murdoch's media empire.

Hacked Off on Friday launched an online petition urging Cameron and other politicians to implement Leveson's recommendations in full.

The recommendations have pitched Cameron against Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, his coalition partner, who argued that a new law on press regulation should be introduced without delay. Cross-party talks were being held in an attempt to reach an agreement.

SugarSync


File synchronization is a service that every modern computer user needs, and SugarSync, a longtime PCMag.com Editors' Choice, is one of the best and simplest freemium services you'll find for personal use. A recent update to SugarSync's desktop client, version 2.0 (beta) , adds some new functionalityand creates a more seamless syncing experience by echoing the interfaces of the service mobile apps.

In a nutshell, file-syncing services enable you to access the most recent copy of all your files without emailing them to yourself or sticking them on a USB drive and carrying it around with you. SugarSync and similar services synchronize your files as you work on them on which ever computers and mobile devices you choose. A Web account serves as a backup method for getting at your files when you're using a shared or borrowed device, like a computer at an Internet caf?.

Major competitors in the personal file-syncing space, such as Dropbox (also an Editors' Choice) and Box all tend to be very good, if not excellent, with only a handful of differentiating factors, and many of those differences are more a matter of personal preference than "good, better, best." SugarSync remains one of my favorites because of its reliability, control over choosing just what to sync, support for all major platforms, and now its improved look. I can't imagine recommending any other service as a first option. SugarSync is not, however, the only service I use (I have a system for using different providers for different purposes). There's no reason to just choose one.

As simple as SugarSync is, anyone new to file synchronization needs to heed a few warnings. First, take two minutes to learn what file synchronization is and what it means. Synchronization is not the same as backup (although you do get some of the same perks), so you should not use it to free up space on your hard drive. When you "sync" something from your computer, don't then delete it!

SugarSync Accounts and Prices
To use SugarSync, you'll need an account. Sign up for a free account to get 5GB of space, or opt to pay for more. You can get 30GB of cloud storage for $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year; 60GB for $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year; 100GB for $14.99 per month or $149.99 per year; and 250GB for $24.99 per month or $249.99 per year.

See the chart below for more details on how SugarSync's price for storage space compares with other plans. Click the image to enlarge it.

You can sign up for a SugarSync account either before or after downloading and installing the client software. Launch SugarSync locally, and it will prompt you to login (or create an account) and name your PC or Mac, such as "Home laptop." And that's it. You're in.

What's New in Version 2?
If you haven't used SugarSync before, you'll first need to mark which files and folders you want to sync before SugarSync starts to look like much of anything.

Existing users will see a list of all the data they already have synced in the main window of the new interface. Its design closely resembles that of a mobile app, especially in its default dimensions (you can resize it). A top-line menu offers three choices?SugarSync, Tools, and Help?where you can access basic tools and operations. Below the top-line menu are three app-like buttons for Cloud, Sharing, and Activity, and to the far right, there's a search icon. Cloud, the default, shows the list of folders currently being synced, rather than of devices. That's the first major and noticeable difference from the old SugarSync. The message is, "Don't worry about where the data originated. All that matters is that it's here."

Drag-and-drop. SugarSync reserves a noticeable aqua-colored area at the top of the app for drag-and-drop functionality. Want to sync a folder? Just drag it into this new space. You can still right-click on folders or files anywhere on your computer to sync them, too, a feature I've always appreciated in SugarSync. When you sync a file or folder to SugarSync, you don't need to physically move the items anywhere, like you do with Dropbox. Just mark it to sync and it does. You'll see a small green circle with white checkmark that indicates the data is synced and up to date. When it's in the process of syncing, you'll see a curved white arrow in place of the checkmark. If you lose your Internet connection while working and your data changes state (like if you edit a file), the green icon will disappear completely until the next time you reconnect and SugarSync can once again sync the changes you've made in your files.

Cloud. Hover over any folder in the Cloud view, and you'll see whether it's synced to the machine that you're currently using. Click an information icon to see additional details about the original source of the data, where else it's synced, whether it's shared, and how much space it consumes. Click "Advanced" in this information pane, and you can add or edit the folder's label and remove the folder from SugarSync altogether.

"Person of the Year" Nomination for Higgs Boson Riddled with Errors

Time magazine recently posted 30 nominations for its ever-popular ?Person of the Year? award. Tucked in between President Barack Obama and the Korean rapper Psy is an unlikely candidate for the ?Person of the Year??a subatomic particle. As Scientific American readers are well aware, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider announced this summer that they had found something that looks much like long-elusive Higgs boson, causing a brief but wondrous worldwide bout of Higgsteria.

Under ordinary circumstances, we would be all for the elevation of the Higgs to ?Person of the Year? status, if only to further honor the heroic efforts of thousands of scientists and engineers who made the discovery possible (more on that below). But Time?s nomination threatens to do more harm than good. Every single sentence in Time?s nomination contains at least one serious error. The magazine scores a perfect five for five. In the interest of clarity, let?s do a quick edit:

Sentence 1: Take a moment to thank this little particle for all the work it does, because without it, you?d be just inchoate energy without so much as a bit of mass.

Error: The common understanding of the Higgs is that it is responsible for all mass in the universe, but this is untrue, as my colleague Daisy Yuhas explained last week in an illuminating (and factually accurate!) post: ?The Higgs field does not explain the origin of all mass. ?Many uninformed physicists have been saying that for years,? says theoretical physicist Chris Quigg of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. ?We have actually understood the source of most of the mass in the proton [for example] for some time,? Most mass?including your own?comes from the strong force, a force of nature that keeps the nucleus of atoms bound together.? The Higgs field does give rise to the masses of particles such as the W and Z bosons, as well as the electron. And it?s true that without it, the universe would be a very different place. ?Without that mass, electrons wouldn?t hook up with nuclei to form atoms. ?That would mean no valence bonding, so much of chemistry, essentially all, would vanish,? Quigg says. ?Therefore no solid structures and no template for life.??

Sentence 2: What?s more, the same would be true for the entire universe.

Error: See Sentence 1. Protons and neutrons would still have mass.

Sentence 3: It was in the 1960s that Scottish physicist Peter Higgs first posited the existence of a particle that causes energy to make the jump to matter.

Error: The Higgs field does not ?cause energy to make the jump to matter,? and it?s unclear why the author of this piece would think that true. But let?s be generous with our interpretation. The Higgs does explain why the W and Z bosons?the carriers of the weak force?have mass. Were they to be massless, they would necessarily travel at the speed of light, and thus could be considered ?energy? rather than ?matter? (as though there were a hard and fast dividing line between the two). They would be something like the photon?the carrier of the electromagnetic force. But is the photon pure ?energy?? Not at all. The photon is the poster child for behaving as both wave (energy) and particle (matter) at the same time.

And?Peter Higgs was neither the first nor the only physicist?to posit the existence of the particle that bears his name.

And he?s English (born in Newcastle), not Scottish.

Sentence 4: But it was not until last summer that a team of researchers at Europe?s Large Hadron Collider ? Rolf Heuer, Joseph Incandela and Fabiola Gianotti ? at last sealed the deal and in so doing finally fully confirmed Einstein?s general theory of relativity.

Error: Where to begin? Let?s start with Einstein. I honestly have no idea why the author would make any connection between the Higgs and general relativity. None! Because there is none. Einstein did teach us that energy and mass are two sides of the same coin (and that insight is a consequence of his special, not general, theory of relativity), but this teaching works at cross purposes to the author?s repeated assertions that the Higgs somehow transforms energy into matter.

Not to mention that no scientific theory could ever be ?finally fully? confirmed. What would it mean for a scientific theory to be ?finally fully? confirmed? Is he suggesting that no evidence could ever arise that could challenge it? Purely mathematical theorems can be proven. Scientific theories can only be disproven.

And then there?s the attribution problem. The author cites ?a team? of three researchers that discovered the Higgs. He?s only off by three or four orders of magnitude. Two experiments at the LHC?ATLAS and CMS?independently confirmed the discovery this summer. Each of these experiments is made of about 3,000 working physicists. At the time of the announcement, Incandela and Gianotti were leading each of the experiments, but leaders change all the time (Incandela has led CMS for less than a year, for example), and the Higgs discovery has been a multi-decade long project.

Sentence 5: The Higgs ? as particles do ? immediately decayed to more-fundamental particles, but the scientists would surely be happy to collect any honors or awards in its stead.

Error: ?More-fundamental? particles? Certain particles such as the proton or the neutron are ?composite? particles?they?re composed of other particles (in this case, quarks and gluons). But the ?fundamental? particles in the Standard Model of particle physics are not composites. They are, so far as we can tell, indivisible. Certainly they can change from one to another, but they don?t break apart into ?more fundamental? particles. The Higgs is itself a fundamental particle. In fact, this is a big part of the reason for all the excitement?it was the last fundamental particle predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics that had eluded detection. It decays, but when it does it changes into other equally fundamental particles.

Time, I?m all for awarding the Higgs boson as the 2012 Person of the Year. But if you do, please let someone who understands something about particle physics read the laudatory article before it goes to print. I can think of 6,000-odd people who would be good for the job.

Northern California Flood Threat Now Through Weekend

Bay Area commuters struggled through driving rain on Wednesday morning, surprised not at its appearance, which had been forecasted, but at its intensity. The National Weather Service in Sacramento issued a flood watch for Northern California on Tuesday, as the Bay Area enjoyed sunny skies followed by a fine moonlit evening. A weather system comprised of a series of powerful rainstorms is forecasted to last through the weekend.

Buckets of water periodically spilled onto pedestrians from bulging shop awnings and from the tops of bus stop shelters in San Francisco, and swirling gullies appeared around drains blocked with autumn leaves, creating ankle-deep puddles impossible to avoid. Drivers faced their own set of challenges. A burst of sunshine appeared by noon in downtown San Francisco, but the five-day forecast calls for significantly more rainfall.

While Northern California typically enjoys some of the nation's most enviable weather, local residents are aware of the adage regarding California's four seasons: earthquake, fire, flood, and drought. Flooding is one of the most common natural disasters in the United States, according to FEMA. We are all under heightened awareness in the wake of Hurricane Sandy's widespread and severe damage in October 2012.

Drivers are advised to prepare for longer journey times at reduced speed due to necessary precautions on wet road surfaces and to avoid low-lying areas. Under windy conditions, drivers are reminded to be alert to falling tree branches and debris and cross winds on exposed routes and bridges.

Both pedestrians and drivers are reminded to avoid walking through moving water, as a few inches of moving water can prompt a fall. If you must walk in water, look for where the water is not moving, and use a branch or a stick to check the depth, as well as whether the ground is firm ahead of you.

Home preparation advice calls for inspecting drains and gutters to clear leaves, checking seals on windows and doors, lowering water levels in outdoor pools and clearing filters, and keeping your heating system inspections up to date. FEMA advises putting together and maintaining an emergency supply kit, including canned foods and a manual opener, non-perishable food and camping cooking equipment, a good supply of drinking water, any essential medicines, flashlights, candles and a lighter, a battery-operated radio, fresh batteries of various sizes, and a first-aid kit.

The flood watch is issued across a wide region from the Oregon border to coastal San Diego County, with high surf advisories and wind advisories into interiors across California and into Nevada. Wind gusts are forecasted to reach as high as 70 mph in coastal areas.

Powerball jackpot balloons to record $550 million

The allure of the record $550 million Powerball jackpot has led to long lines across the nation at local mini-marts and gas stations, with Americans hoping their champagne and caviar dreams become a reality when the numbers are drawn tonight.

The jackpot was boosted Tuesday from $425 million to the now historic $550 million sum, which is expected to get sweeter as millions of Americans rush to the store for their last chance to purchase a ticket and become a multi-millionaire overnight.

Powerball officials tell ABC News they expect to sell more than 105,000 tickets every minute before the drawing. When the dust settles, more than 189 million tickets would have been sold for the half a billion-dollar jackpot. That's more than double the number sold for Saturday's $325 jackpot that nobody won.

ABC News was allowed access to the Powerball studios in Tallahassee, Fla., where the 11 p.m. ET drawing will take place. The closely guarded machines and balls are locked in a vault before the numbers are drawn and only a select few are allowed inside the room during the actual broadcast.

Anyone who enters or leaves the vault is documented and workers who handle the lottery balls wear gloves, worried that human touch might change what numbers are randomly drawn.

Cameras are located in every nook and cranny of the Powerball studio, spying on workers as they ready the machines for the big moment. Lottery officials in several states will be watching those feeds in real time to monitor the proceedings.

Not everyone has Powerball fever in the country as tickets for tonight's jackpot are not offered in eight states. But that has not stopped many Californians and Nevadans who have flocked to Arizona to get in on the action.

"I'd say the line has to be like three, three and a half hours," one person told ABC News while waiting online to purchase tickets Tuesday.

Still, the long lines have not deterred those who hope to dramatically change their lifestyle and make their wildest dreams become a reality.

"I'm going to the Bahamas and enjoying myself on an island," said one Powerball hopeful.

Chuck Strutt, executive director of the Des Moines, Iowa-based Multi-State Lottery Association, said the chance of getting a winner tonight is approaching 60 percent.

"We call it the redneck retirement fund cause sooner or later, somebody is going to," said one man.

There has been no Powerball winner since Oct. 6 ? that's 16 consecutive drawings without a winner. It's the second-highest jackpot in US lottery history, behind only the $656 million Mega Millions prize in March.

Powerball tickets doubled in price in January to $2, and while the number of tickets sold initially dropped, sales revenue has increased by about 35 percent over 2011, according to the Associated Press.

Lottery officials put the odds of winning Wednesday's Powerball pot at one in 175 million. With so many people plaything this time around, some are worried it may hurt their odds.

"Your odds of being a winner are still the same. With so many people playing, it does mean are more likely to split the jackpot if you want," said Scott Norris, math professor at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

Everyone who lines up with cash in their hand and dreams in their head seems to have a strategy in picking the winning combination of numbers. Or, do you simply let the computer pick for you?

"It doesn't matter. Your odds of winning are actually the same no matter who picks it," said Norris. Norris says the only real advantage that can help someone is buying more tickets.

"Your odds increase directly proportional to the number of tickets you buy. So if you buy 100, your odds are 1 in 7 million, but still astronomically small," he said.

With odds so small in a game where just about anyone who plays is a loser, there is some hope for those living in Illinois and New Jersey. Both states have sold three winning tickets for jackpots worth at least $300 million.

A single winner choosing the lump sum cash option would take home more than $327 million before taxes.

ABC News' Steve Osunsami and Ryan Owens contributed to this report.

tarnish barrera: The Importance of Editing Film and TV Production ...

To the uninitiated, editing may look like a monotonous task that is both mentally as well as physically taxing.

In fact, the film editor has the job identical to a cook.

The importance of editing dates back ages, chronicled in the book "The Technique Of Film And Video Editing" by Ken Dancyger. It upholds some of the finest examples of editing imparting the narrative of the film through silent shots, music and jump shots involving ordinary objects. Alfred Hitchcock's filmmaking (in films like 'Vertigo' and 'The Man Who Knew Too Much') is considered to have some of the finest editing work by the erstwhile standards, and can easily exemplify why editing is considered so integral to the success of a film or TV production.

In the earlier ages, editing was physically done, with the help of mechanical equipment that sliced, spliced and appropriately put together 'linearly' edited reels. The digital revolution and technological advances like the Firewire have magically simplified the post-production process. With software applications like Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro and Windows Movie Maker, editing is not restricted to professionally trained editors and apprentices. The ease of use and interactive applications has made it possible for film students, amateurs and one-time users to edit their own film or video productions.

The advent of computers has also allowed editors to enhance the creativity of their work. Unlike the mechanical equipment which was used on the original reel and did not warrant a liberal creative license or room for error to the editor, digital editing offers a huge scope for improvisation. The latter has opened up avenues for experimentation, much better treatment and quick editing procedures. Off late, films have been centered on editing and the whole post-production process, rather than the filming of the same. Recent examples can include 'The Lord of the Rings Trilogy' and 'Avatar', the latter incidentally being the highest revenue-grossing films of all time!

With technology advancing in the speed of light-years, editing in film and TV production has gained a pivotal role. And every filmmaking unit, irrespective of size, style, location or budget, has already acknowledged the same!

To get the best look at a person's face, look just below the eyes

ScienceDaily (Nov. 26, 2012) ? They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. However, to get a real idea of what a person is up to, according to UC Santa Barbara researchers Miguel Eckstein and Matt Peterson, the best place to check is right below the eyes. Their findings are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

"It's pretty fast, it's effortless -- we're not really aware of what we're doing," said Miguel Eckstein, professor of psychology in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences. Using an eye tracker and more than 100 photos of faces and participants, Eckstein and graduate research assistant Peterson followed the gaze of the experiment's participants to determine where they look in the first crucial moment of identifying a person's identity, gender, and emotional state.

"For the majority of people, the first place we look at is somewhere in the middle, just below the eyes," Eckstein said. One possible reason could be that we are trained from youth to look there, because it's polite in some cultures. Or, because it allows us to figure out where the person's attention is focused.

However, Peterson and Eckstein hypothesize that, despite the ever-so-brief -- 250 millisecond -- glance, the relatively featureless point of focus, and the fact that we're usually unaware that we're doing it, the brain is actually using sophisticated computations to plan an eye movement that ensures the highest accuracy in tasks that are evolutionarily important in determining flight, fight, or love at first sight.

"When you look at a scene, or at a person's face, you're not just using information right in front of you," said Peterson. The place where one's glance is aimed is the place that corresponds to the highest resolution in the eye -- the fovea, a slight depression in the retina at the back of the eye -- while regions surrounding the foveal area -- the periphery -- allow access to less spatial detail.

However, according to Peterson, at a conversational distance, faces tend to span a larger area of the visual field. There is information to be gleaned, not just from the face's eyes, but also from features like the nose or the mouth. But when participants were directed to try to determine the identity, gender, and emotion of people in the photos by looking elsewhere -- the forehead, the mouth, for instance -- they did not perform as well as they would have by looking close to the eyes.

Using a sophisticated algorithm, which mimics the varying spatial detail of human processing across the visual field and integrates all information to make decisions, allowed Peterson and Eckstein to predict what would be the best place within the faces to look for each of these perceptual tasks. They found that these predicted places varied moderately across tasks, and closely corresponded to where humans actually do look.

At least for the three important tasks investigated -- identity, emotion, and gender -- below the eyes is the optimal place to look, say the scientists, because it allows one to read information from as many features of the face as possible.

"What the visual system is adept at doing is taking all those pieces of information from your face and combining them in a statistical manner to make a judgment about whatever task you're doing," said Eckstein. The area around the eyes contains minute bits of important information, which require the high resolution processing close to the fovea, whereas features like the mouth are larger and can be read without a direct gaze.

The study shows that the ability to learn optimal rapid eye movement for evolutionarily important perceptual tasks is inherent in humans; however, say the scientists, it is not necessarily consistent behavior for everybody. Eckstein's lab is currently involved in studying a small subset of people who do not look just below the eyes to identify a person. Other researchers have shown that East Asians, for instance, tend look lower on the face when identifying a person's face.

The research by Peterson and Eckstein has resulted in sophisticated new algorithms to model optimal gaze patterns when looking at faces. The algorithms could potentially be used to provide insight into conditions like schizophrenia and autism, which are associated with uncommon gaze patterns, or prosopagnosia -- an inability to recognize someone by his or her face.

Linux and the GPL: A Storm Erupts

Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone in the land of stars and stripes, it's a pretty safe bet that blood pressures are rising and tensions are high here in the Linux blogosphere. The holiday season is hard upon us, after all, and Linux Girl, for one, has resorted to her preferred coping strategy of warming the barstools down at the blogosphere's seedy Punchy Penguin Saloon.

Dust off your ball gowns and top hats for the 27th Annual Montgomery County Executive?s Ball, the largest Montgomery County, Md., fundraiser benefiting the arts and humanities. Montgomery County, Md., is home to hundreds of arts and humanities organizations as well as three of the State of Maryland?s 19 designated Arts & Entertainment Districts.

The fundraiser aims to raise $100,000 for approximately 60 non-profit arts and humanities organizations in the County. The evening will include dinner, dancing and a silent auction, all benefiting programs that gave rise to such cultural celebrities as Goldie Hawn, Ben Stein and Connie Chung.

?Living in such an arts-rich County as Montgomery County, I think we sometimes forget that an enriching arts environment doesn?t happen by accident,? said Ball Chair Catherine Leggett. ?Several studies have shown the link between arts education and academic achievement; and if we want our County?s tradition of academic excellence to continue, we must also continue to invest in the arts and humanities programs that bring such joy to children and adults alike.?

Individual tickets are $125, and are available for purchase through December 6.
