Did the right woman win 'Top Chef'?
Bravo
Top Chef Kristen gets a hug from competitor Brooke.
By Drusilla Moorhouse, TODAY contributor
"Top Chef: Seattle" concluded its very competitive season Wednesday night with Brooke and Kristen squaring off before the judges and a live studio audience.
It came down to the ladies' fourth-round red snapper dishes, with all the judges voting in favor of Kristen's leeks, gem lettuce, tarragon, uni and shellfish nage over her opponent's "surf and turf" combo with braised pork cheek, collard green slaw, sorrel puree and pomegranate seeds.
So Kristen won the title of Top Chef and the $125,000 prize! After being eliminated in the 11th week, the underdog clawed her way back to a spot in the finals by smacking down five other ousted cheftestants in the Last Chance Kitchen.

Dan Henderson gets bigger payday than Ronda Rousey, but disclosed sums don?t tell whole story
The California Athletic Commission announced the reported salaries from UFC 157 over the weekend. While Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche dominated headlines with the first female bout in UFC history, it was Lyoto Machida and Dan Henderson who made the biggest sums of reported money after squaring off in 157's co-main event.
Here are the reported salaries of the top five fights from the card (via MMA Weekly):
Ronda Rousey: $90,000 (includes $45,000 win bonus) def. Liz Carmouche: $12,000
Lyoto Machida: $200,000 (no win bonus) def. Dan Henderson: $250,000
Urijah Faber: $100,000 (includes $50,000 win bonus) def. Ivan Menjivar: $17,000
Court McGee: $40,000 (includes $20,000 win bonus) def. Josh Neer: $16,000
Robbie Lawler: $105,000 (includes $10,000 win bonus) def. Josh Koscheck: $78,000
It may stand out to the casual fan that Rousey and Carmouche made much less money on paper than Henderson and Machida. But there are a few things to consider as the money disclosed here is only what promoters are required to report by law.
It does not include money the fighters make of pay-per-view sales. Quite often, fighters at the top of the card will make a percentage of the pay-per-view profits. Early reports have UFC 157 with 400-500,000 pay-per-views, so it could mean a good payday for the headliners.
The UFC also is known to give out "locker room bonuses," or extra money because of a good performance that they are not required to report to the athletic commissions.
During the run-up to UFC 157, Carmouche talked about how she didn't have much furniture in her home and drove a rundown car. UFC president Dana White promised after the fights that her furniture-less days are over.
"She going to have a kitchen table, and a couch, and whatever else the [expletive] she wants," White said.
Also, Henderson and Machida are UFC veterans whose payouts are decided by their contracts well in advance of their fights. Rousey and Carmouche were the main event because the UFC standard is to put the championship fight as the main event. Henderson and Machida taking home more listed money is akin to Mike Trout making $480,000 and Vernon Wells making $21 million for the Los Angeles Angels. Trout finished second in American League MVP voting but makes much less because he's a rookie and not a veteran like Wells.
To use another example, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick made much less money than backup Alex Smith. Kaepernick will eventually get paid as his star blossoms but it doesn't change the paycheck he took home from the Super Bowl.

Greek man charged in NY Dali theft pleads guilty
NEW YORK (AP) ? A Greek man has admitted to stealing a Salvador Dali painting from a New York City gallery, only to return it in the mail.
Phivos Istavrioglou pleaded guilty on Tuesday following his arrest in the theft of a work titled "Cartel de Don Juan Tenorio."
Prosecutors say the fashion industry publicist walked into the Manhattan gallery in June, put the painting valued at about $150,000 in a shopping bag and walked out. He anonymously mailed the piece back to the United States from Greece after seeing news coverage of the theft.
Under the plea deal, Istavrioglou avoids additional jail time if he remains incarcerated until his formal sentencing on March 12. He also must pay more than $9,000 in restitution.
His lawyer said it was a stupid thing to do.

PRESTON, Conn. (AP) ? Connecticut state police are calling the shooting deaths of a woman and her two young grandchildren a double murder-suicide and say she had permission to pick them up from their daycare.
State police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance says 47-year-old Debra Denison was armed when she left her Stonington home to pick up the children from their daycare in North Stonington Tuesday afternoon.
State police issued an Amber Alert Tuesday evening for Denison, 2-year-old Alton Perry and his 6-month-old brother, Ashton. The three bodies were found in a parked car in nearby Preston Tuesday night.
State police believe Denison shot the kids and herself. The chief medical examiner's office will be performing autopsies.
Denison's family said she suffered from bipolar disorder and had a history of mental health problems.

Newt pheromones: They drive the ladies crazy
Franky Bossuyt
The male alpine Ichthyosaura alpestris newt knows that it isn't the tail waving that attracts the ladies, but the pheromones that he uses.
By Joseph Castro
LiveScience
It may be time to crown male newts as the female-arousing kings ? the amphibians release powerful pheromones that put females in the mood to mate with practically any adult around, even other females from different newt species, new research shows.
"The females react as if they're under the influence of drugs," said lead researcher Franky Bossuyt, a biologist at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Free University of Brussels) in Belgium. "We were convinced that if we put in a plastic toy moving at the right speed, they would follow it."
Newts typically live on land as adults and mate exclusively in water. During the breeding season, males adopt intense color patterns and grow skin extensions on their legs, tail and crest. These changes are thought to make males more attractive to females.
When two newts meet, the male releases pheromones and waves his tail, sending the chemical signals to the female. They then play out a mating dance akin to a short game of tag, with the female following after the male. To let him know she's ready to get down to business, the female touches the male's tail with her nose, prompting him to deposit his spermatophore ? a jellylike mass containing sperm??onto a substrate in the water, such as a leaf. Finally, he leads the female over the sperm packet, which sticks to her cloaca (the orifice leading to intestinal, reproductive and urinary tracts), resulting in insemination.
For years, scientists thought males waved their tails to disperse "attractant pheromones," which broadcast the male's presence and bring newt pairs together. But there's a problem with this idea: The newts have already introduced themselves before the male waves his tail. "The females are not attracted to the males by the tail-waving, at least with the newts I've seen," Bossuyt said.
Instead, the researchers thought, the tail fanning might disperse "courtship pheromones" that alter the female's behavior to stimulate mating.
Newt mating game
To find out, researchers placed male-female pairs of alpine newts (Ichthyosaura alpestris) and palmate newts (Lissotriton helveticus) into water-filled plastic containers for receptivity tests. The newts passed the test and were ready for the next phase if they completed the courtship ritual (females weren't allowed to complete the insemination).
The team then put two-female pairs into pheromone-infused courtship?water; some pairs consisted of two alpine newts, other pairs had one female of each species. If the water contained pheromones from a male of her species, the female would desperately try to court the other female. In some cases, two female alpine newts tried to follow each other, resulting in the pair circling one another. In some two-species trials, one female chased after another, even as the unreceptive partner tried to escape the container. [See video of the sex-crazed newts]
But the amphibians didn't remain patient forever. Not receiving the spermatophore she expected, the courting female eventually started waving her tail at her partner, possibly sending out pheromones.
Frustrated females
"Female tale-waving?is a kind of frustration behavior," Bossuyt explained, adding that females also tail-waved in receptivity tests to get males to continue courtship after researchers removed the spermatophores. In natural settings, this behavior probably happens only in uncommon situations, such as when a male is too tired for courtship. "So female tail-waving likely happens in nature, but you will not easily observe it," he said.
The results suggest the pheromones don't just announce the male's arrival, given how they induced such an overpowering mating reaction in the females. The researchers think males may have evolved such potent pheromones out of necessity, since newts often breed in turbid water with other newt species, making it difficult to mate based on vision alone.
It seems a male newt's flashy appearance matters little to females: It's all about his smell.
The research was detailed online this month in the journal PLOS ONE.

Large shark kills man in New Zealand; beach closed
AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) ? A shark possibly 14 feet long killed a swimmer near a popular New Zealand beach on Wednesday, then disappeared after police attempting to save the man fired gunshots at the enormous predator.
Muriwai Beach near Auckland was closed after the fatal attack, one of only about a dozen in New Zealand in the past 180 years.
Pio Mose, who was fishing at the beach, told The New Zealand Herald he saw the swimmer struggle against the "huge" shark. He told the man to swim to the rocks, but it was too late.
"All of a sudden there was blood everywhere," Mose said. "... I was shaking, scared, panicked."
Police Inspector Shawn Rutene said in a statement that the swimmer, was about 200 meters (650 feet) offshore when the shark attacked. He said police went out in inflatable surf-lifesaving boats and shot at the shark, which they estimate was 12 to 14 feet long.
"It rolled over and disappeared," Rutene said, without saying whether police are certain that they killed the creature.
Police recovered the body of the swimmer. The Herald reported that he was Adam Strange, a 46-year-old television and short film director, and that his family issued a statement expressing their shock and requesting privacy.
About 200 people had been enjoying the beach during the Southern Hemisphere summer at the time of the attack. Police said Muriwai and other beaches nearby have been closed until further notice.
Police did not say what species of shark was involved in the attack. Clinton Duffy, a shark expert with the Department of Conservation, said New Zealand is a hotspot for great white sharks, and other potentially lethal species also inhabit the waters.
Attacks are rare. Duffy estimated that only 12 to 14 people have been killed by sharks in New Zealand since record-keeping began in the 1830s.
"There are much lower levels of shark attacks here than in Australia," he said. "It's possibly a function of how many people are in the water" in New Zealand's cooler climate.
He said that during the Southern Hemisphere summer, sharks often come in closer to shore to feed and to give birth, although that doesn't necessarily equate to a greater risk of attack.
"Ninety-nine percent of the time they ignore people," he said. "Sometimes, people get bitten."
Around the world, sharks attacked humans 80 times last year, and seven people were killed, according to the University of Florida's International Shark Attack File. The death toll was lower than it was in 2011 but higher than the average of 4.4 from 2001 to 2010.

Deformed otter penises a concern for humans
Al Grillo / AP file
This Alaska sea otter from the waters off of the Aleutian Island of Adak looks healthy enough. Its brethren in England aren't faring so well.
By Marc Lallanilla
LiveScience
Scientists are concerned about the deformed sex organs of England's otters ? and what it might mean for humans.
The furry mammals are found in rivers throughout Britain, but male otters aren't what they used to be. An alarming number of them now have shrunken penis bones (baculum), as well as undescended testicles (cryptorchidism) and cysts on sperm-carrying tubes, according to a new report written by Cardiff University scientists.
The results are based on analyses of samples from 755 otter carcasses collected around England and Wales between 1992 and 2009.
"We were surprised to see the reduction in the baculum weight," Elizabeth Chadwick, project manager at the Cardiff University Otter Project, told the BBC. "(It's) certainly something that needs further investigation."
Though scientists aren't yet able to identify a single cause for the deformed sex organs, one leading suspect is a class of chemical pollutants known as endocrine disruptors.
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals?(EDCs) alter the hormone balance of humans and animals. An unborn fetus is particularly vulnerable to the effects of endocrine disruptors, since the development of sex organs in the womb is largely controlled by hormones such as testosterone and estrogen.
The plastic additive Bisphenol A, or BPA is one hormone disruptor that's consistently been cited as a concern for women of childbearing age and their babies. Other endocrine-disrupting compounds are found in pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other common household products.
Though scientists are still sifting through the evidence, there are many researchers who believe the prevalence of endocrine disruptors might be linked to a worldwide drop in sperm quality and quantity in humans. [Sexy Swimmers: 7 Odd Facts About Sperm]
As the top predator in England's rivers and lakes, the BBC reports, otters are an indicator species whose health reveals much about the well-being of the entire aquatic ecosystem. Health problems discovered in otters, Chadwick said, "could be a warning for all mammals really, which include us humans."
"These findings highlight that it is time to end the complacency about the effects of pollutants on male reproductive health, particularly as some of the effects reported in otters may be caused by the same EDCs that are suspected to contribute to the declining trends in men's reproductive health and cause testicular cancer, undescended testes and low sperm count," Gwynne Lyons, director of Chemicals, Health and Environment Monitoring Trust (CHEM), which co-authored the report with Cardiff University, said in a statement.

Altered Washington Post Image Disqualified From Photo Contest ...
The White House News Photographers Association has disqualified a contest-winning photograph by Washington Post photographer Tracy Woodward. The association's president says the image was digitally manipulated in violation of contest rules.
Woodward's image, "State Champion," shows two high school wrestlers in the ring at a 2012 Virginia wrestling tournament. A referee is pictured in the background. In the version that won WHNPA's 2013 "Eyes of History" Award of Excellence in the "Sports Feature/Reaction" category, the referee appears partially obscured.
In a statement released Monday night, White House News Photographers Association President Ron Sachs says, "When we became aware of the altered image, the photo was immediately disqualified in accordance with our published contest rules." Washington Post Director of Photography MaryAnne Golon told the National Press Photographers Association's?News Photographer magazine that "a Washington Post photographer entered an altered photograph to the WHNPA contest. Once Post editors saw that it had been altered from what had originally been published in the Post, we withdrew the photo from consideration. The Post's ethics policy prohibits the manipulation of photographs, and we have taken action in accordance with that policy."
Woodward and Golon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

EnlargeUS presidents traditionally turn to foreign policy in their second terms. The executive branch operates with greater freedom in the international realm than in domestic policy, and world affairs are an appealing arena in which to cement a presidential legacy.

The January/February issue of Foreign Policy magazine observes tongue in cheek that the paper required to print all of the white papers and op-eds urging President Obama to take various actions on the international scene ?would probably require chopping down the Amazon rain forest.?
The magazine counters with 10 tightly written essays on what Foreign Policy editor Susan Glasser calls ?ideas for what Obama could really accomplish in these next four years to make the world a better place ? concrete, achievable goals that, for the most part, wouldn?t even require the cooperation of Congress.?
Among the recommended actions: having Mr. Obama send the Senate the 1997 treaty on banning land mines (as 161 countries have already done); taking a tougher stance toward allies ? like Saudi Arabia and Bahrain ? with less-than-stellar human rights records; and working with Russia to reduce the hair-trigger, launch-ready alert status on both nations? nuclear-tipped missiles.
Capitalism and North Korea?s leaders
With North Korean leader Kim Jong-un having just overseen his nation?s third nuclear weapons test, The Economist magazine?s Feb. 9 cover story takes a very timely look at how ?capitalism is seeping through the bamboo curtain? with consequences the despotic Mr. Kim may not be able to control.
The North Korean famine of the 1990s, which killed up to 1 million people, triggered a breakdown in the government?s control over food distribution. So individual entrepreneurs began selling food grown in family plots. That market impulse has grown. ?It has become clear that other merchants today operate on a far more ambitious scale, exporting raw materials to China and bringing back consumer goods,? the Economist reports. So, the magazine says, money talks in today?s North Korea in ways that have a variety of destabilizing consequences.
For example, traders bring in computers, radios, and mobile phones, which diminish the Kim regime?s control of information. That allows some North Koreans to have a more acute sense of how impoverished their lives are compared with those of citizens of neighboring South Korea.
The role of the sexes has changed as women, who run some black markets, have become the breadwinners in their families. And there is a widening gap between the lives of market-involved elites centered in Pyongyang and the lives of the chronically underfed rest of the country.
Who are the millionaires?
The debate over how to reform the US tax code will be one of the top political stories of 2013. Whether America?s richest individuals are paying their fair share will be a key aspect of the debate. So it is useful to get a clearer picture of the financially fortunate.
?[T]he common conception of millionaires, on whom so much of the nation?s long-term fiscal viability depends, is largely a caricature,? writes Graeme Wood in the conservative National Review.
The first step in understanding millionaires, Mr. Wood writes, is a matter of definition. One group of millionaires are those who have assets like homes, savings accounts, and pensions that are worth a million dollars. ?The majority are working people,? Wood writes, and some 5.26 million households meet that definition.
The second group of millionaires consists of those who earn a million dollars or more a year. This much more rarefied group includes fewer than half a million households a year. Wood notes that many in this group are ?lucky one-timers,? folks who won the lottery or inherited from wealthy parents.
Only the 200,000 households with $20 million or more in assets have ?the financial equivalent of a perpetual-motion machine, capable of spontaneously replenishing itself and fairly reliably producing large amounts of money for its fortunate owner,? Wood says.
The window washers? life at the top
The New Yorker provides a vicarious glimpse into the dangerous, silent, and exhilarating world of skyscraper window washers for readers whose own jobs may offer less excitement.
The advent of computer design software made it practical for architects to create buildings with a different window configuration on every floor, ?turning Manhattan into a crystal garden of geometric forms and irregular shapes,? writes Adam Higginbotham. At the same time, the work of men with buckets and squeegees has remained just outside the reach of automation.
Thus it is that window washers still have to step out onto an 18-inch-wide walkway outside the 103rd floor of the Empire State Building.
When Mr. Higginbotham joined a window washer there, briefly, he writes, ?I sank to my knees in what may have resembled an attitude of pure terror.?

Egypt's Mursi invites opposition to dialogue on elections
CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi invited opposition parties to a meeting on Monday to discuss concerns about upcoming parliamentary elections, which some parties have threatened to boycott, and agree on ways to ensure their fairness.
The invitation was similar to offers Mursi has made previously that were spurned, and the National Salvation Front opposition coalition immediately rejected the offer to meet.
"I tell everyone of all colors of the spectrum, to all dear brothers in different parties across Egypt, I approach them by name, by party, by persons to sit tomorrow and put down guarantees for transparent and fair elections," Mursi said in a recorded appearance on a television talk program on Mehwar channel aired late on Sunday.
Mursi also sought to dispel speculation that there were growing tensions between the army and the presidency. Some Egyptians, frustrated with what they view as Mursi's poor performance over the past seven months, have called for the military again to run Egypt.
Egypt's military has been a central force in politics since army officers staged an overthrow of the monarchy in 1952.
"There could never be disagreement between the armed forces and the presidency because the president and the armed forces are not two factions, they are one, and the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces is extremely professional," Mursi said on the show.
In addition, Mursi said he has a strong relationship with the intelligence apparatus.
"The General Intelligence is directly subject to the presidency of the republic, subject to me...I support, trust, protect and love them, and wish them well because through them Egypt's security is protected internally and externally," he said.
Egypt on Saturday brought forward by five days the start of the elections to April 22 to defuse a dispute with the Christian community, which makes up a tenth of the population, after they said the original schedule would conflict with their Easter celebrations.
TRANSITION TO DEMOCRACY
Mursi said the elections could conclude Egypt's turbulent transition to democracy, which began two years ago with the overthrow of autocrat Hosni Mubarak by popular protests.
Various opposition groups have said they would boycott the legislative elections, a move that could delegitimize the electoral process, which is due to take place in four stages and culminate with the sitting of the new lower house of parliament in July.
The opposition has said that by deciding to hold elections Mursi and his Muslim Brotherhood movement trivialized the deaths of around 60 people in anti-government protests since January and was only concerned with securing parliamentary seats.
They accused the Brotherhood of seeking to dominate all state institutions and said the electoral constituencies were "tailor-made" for the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party and that there were no real guarantees of fair elections.
The National Salvation Front (NSF), which groups a number of parties opposed to the Islamists, is due to decide in the coming week whether to join the boycott as a movement. But it immediately rebuffed Mursi's call for a dialogue on elections.
"It makes me angry. You take the decision (to hold elections) and then say, 'Come to talk to me'," Khaled Dawoud, an NSF spokesman, told Reuters.
Some of the NSF's main parties have individually said they would boycott, including the Dostour party of Mohamed ElBaradei, a former U.N. nuclear agency chief. He drew comparisons with the last parliamentary polls to be held under Mubarak in 2010, a vote that was widely seen as rigged.
Mursi's television comments were aired almost seven hours later than the time the presidency had announced and well past midnight, which provoked dismissive reactions from opponents. Bassem Youssef, a popular satirist who lampoons public figures, wrote on Twitter: "Has anyone seen Mohammed Mursi?"
A joke from political activists that made the rounds on social networking sites ran: "According to which timing is the program being aired? Egypt's, Qatar's or the United States?" referring to the United States' and Qatar's foreign policies, seen as backing the Brotherhood.

Mendeley Desktop (for Mac)
Whether you are looking to build a repository for a major research project or simply hoping to organize journal articles, Mendeley (Free) offers an elegant solution to document management. With 1GB of free cloud-based storage (upgradable to two for $5 per month, 5GB for $10, or unlimited for $15), cross-platform compatibility, and iOS apps, you will always have access to your Mendeley library, but, thanks to web browser and Microsoft Word plugins, you will not feel tethered to it. Mendeley pairs nicely with browser-based research manager Zotero 3. Now entering its seventh year of development, Zotero handles documents with greater ?lan; however, many scholars, educators, and students?especially those in the sciences?may find they prefer Mendeley for its collaboration options.
Accommodating Research
After I finished reviewing Zotero, I committed myself to the browser-based research assistant. It was a big step for me. I upgraded my account from the standard storage (a paltry 300 megabytes) to a premium plan (two-gigabytes for $20 annually), and even made Firefox (free, 4 stars) my default web browser. It all happened so fast. Needless to say, when I heard about Mendeley, I was curious, but skeptical. Certainly, I had heard good things about its academic social network, but would I have to start over? And, if not, how much trouble would it be to integrate Mendeley into my workflow?
Mendeley makes promiscuous research awfully enticing. In fact, I was prompted to sync my Zotero library upon launching the application. The word sync, not import, is a crucial distinction: Because Mendeley synchronizes with my Zotero, I can add books and articles to Zotero and they automatically appear in Mendeley. (the inverse, however, is not true). Mendeley can also watch a folder for new documents (e.g. a Downloads folder).
Although Mendeley was quick to recognize all of the files in my 350-megabyte Zotero library, synchronization with Mendeley?s cloud-based storage was another story. It took three attempts to complete synchronization. This would be less of an issue if synchronization did not prevent sharing or accessing shared folders. Instead, my testing was put on hold until I had synchronized my entire library with Mendeley?s cloud. Fortunately, the cloud is voluminous for a free service: A gigabyte of online storage goes a long way with PDFs and Word documents.
Local, Public, and Private Folders
Mendeley reproduced my Zotero folder hierarchy. I added folders within folders to see if the software would scale to the demands of a larger research project. While the applications lags more than it ought to (I test on a two-year-old MacBook Pro), I have no complaints about the elegant user interface. Adding new documents is as simple as dragging onto folders. Mendeley captures metadata from PDFs and accepts notes, tags, and keywords?all searchable.
Mendeley offers two kinds of groups: public (ideal for reading lists) and private (perfect for sharing sources, references, or drafts of living projects). For free, Mendeley allows one of each?otherwise you need what Mendeley calls a ?Team Plan? ($49 per month). This may sound stingy, but do not forget the voluminous online storage (a gigabyte) and baroque folder hierarchies. Because public groups only support metadata, they use next to no storage. Collaborators can still proffer sources and add notes. Given the public availability, perhaps I will solicit other feedback in the future. Unfortunately, for those in the humanities, Mendeley is a science-centric ecosystem. (A search for ?American literature? produced one direct match, ?Early American Literature,? with just seven members and 19 papers).
I preferred private group sharing. I invited several colleagues (via email) without leaving the application. Although basic metadata is available through the Mendeley website, advanced features, such as previewing and annotating documents, requires Mendeley Desktop. Although my collaborators complained about having to install a dedicated application, they quickly praised the tabbed interface, through which they could mark up multiple documents in the same window.

Get-Good-Information-Here-About-Solar-Energy-To-Help-You-Decide
From HOPE
Gain an understanding of your own energy usage. If you are considering solar panels, realize how much power you use. In order to pick the right size, this information is critical. You should look at your yearly energy bill since costs vary by season.
Generally speaking, a solar energy system for home heating costs $4000 - $6000. Think about how fast you will earn that back through savings and then continue forward in the green for years and years. Solar panels can always be installed a few at a time.
Your solar panel vendor's reputation is key. Find online reviews, talk to former clients, and ask for a few references before signing the paperwork. If you cannot find good reviews for a vendor, you should keep looking even if the prices are interesting.
It is best that you purchase a solar panel system after you have already paid off your home. However, think long and hard before doing so. If there is a chance of losing your home, you will also lose any money you invest in it.
A lot of governments throughout the world could offer tax credits for those that use solar energy. You might get as much as 30% of the installation cost back! You should do some research on the Internet or get in touch with your local government to find out more about the incentives and programs you are eligible for.
Pathway lighting is a simple and affordable means to take advantage of solar energy. The lights seem diminutive, but they pack a punch; they quietly gather the sun's rays in the daytime and then light up at night. They are a set-and-forget way to improve your outdoor space.
As far as solar panels go, bigger is not always better. There are many things to consider with regards to solar panels, such as materials used, build quality, etc. Consider every one of these points before making any decisions.
If you're not ready to fully change to solar energy, check out attic fans that are solar powered. The fan will turn itself on when your attic gets too hot. This can help reduce energy costs by removing heat. Also because it's run by solar energy, you won't have to pay for the electricity it creates.
Don't work with pushy salespeople. This industry has a lot of salespeople like this. You should be able to tell them that you'll consider a deal later instead of right away. If a salesperson is relying on pressure to close sales, he probably has a very low level of confidence in the quality of his product. Pressure can lead to poor decisions.
Select a mounting system that allows the orientation of the solar panels to be changed. These panels offer the best results due to their ability to change with the seasons. Look to solar energy experts for insight on the most effective position for solar panels.
With your new information in hand, you ought to understand the amazing potential of solar energy. Be proactive and add solar energy to your house. Implement the tips you've just read and reap the benefits of solar power.

Japan coastguard says China ship in disputed waters
Japan said a Chinese government ship briefly entered its territorial waters off disputed islands on Saturday, as the Japanese premier vowed he would not tolerate Beijing's incursions into the area.
A Japanese coast guard vessel (bottom) monitors a Chinese fisheries patrol boat in the East China Sea in 2011.
The fisheries patrol boat entered the waters in the East China Sea at 4:48 pm (0748 GMT) and was sailing some 19 kilometres northwest of Uotsuri, one of the Senkaku islands, Japan's coastguard said in a statement.
But the Chinese ship moved out of the zone after about an hour, watched by a Japanese coastguard vessel, it said.
Beijing claims the Japanese-controlled islands, which it calls the Diaoyus.
The incident was the latest in a series, with Japan claiming in one case that Chinese vessels had locked weapons-targeting radar onto a ship and a helicopter. Beijing denied the charge.
Saturday's incident came as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, now on his first visit to the United States since he took office late December, vowed that he would not tolerate any challenge to control over the contested islands.
"We simply cannot tolerate any challenge now and in the future. No nation should make any miscalculation or underestimate the firmness of our resolve," Abe said Friday in Washington.
Speaking after talks with President Barack Obama at the White House, however, Abe cautioned that "I have absolutely no intention to climb up the escalation ladder".
The dispute between Asia's two largest economies intensified in September when Tokyo nationalised three islands in the chain, in what it said was a mere administrative change of ownership.

Skidmore College benches men's soccer after reports of drinking and hazing
SARATOGA SPRINGS - The Skidmore College?men's spring?soccer season is canceled and 28 students, including 24 team members, face disciplinary proceedings.
Rochelle Calhoun, Skidmore's Dean of Student Affairs, says the team is being held out as an example.
The school says most of?the team was involved in a drinking party at a house? The school says it believes some of the 24-student athletes were pressured into drinking?by their teammates?at the November 30 party at a home on Jefferson Street.
So, Skidmore is sending a message by cancelling the entire spring soccer season.
"It was important for students to understand that behavior has consequences," said Calhoun. "And the college wants to demonstrate that we take these behaviors, these situations, very seriously."
Skidmore says they learned of the party in mid-December, during final exams and decided to begin their investigation when students returned for the start of the spring semester.
Campus safety handed the results of its investigation over to the police department.? Saratoga County?District Attorney Jim Murphy?says based on what he knows now, it doesn't appear that there will be charges, but says Skidmore did the right thing by cancelling the season.
"And I think they could be criticized if they didn't," said Murphy. "So taking the action they took and turning it over to the police department is absolutely appropriate."
Skidmore student-athletes are required to sign a code of conduct, pledging to not participate in illegal activities?such as?underage drinking and hazing.
"And when that is violated, students understand that they are subject to being held responsible," said Calhoun.

Apple supplier Foxconn freezes hiring at largest plant
TAIPEI/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Apple Inc's manufacturing partner Foxconn Technology Group has frozen hiring at a Shenzhen plant that makes gadgets including the iPhone 5 and put the brakes on recruiting for other factories across China, but said the move was not linked to any single client.
Foxconn runs a network of factories across the world's No. 2 economy that make products for tech companies from Hewlett Packard to Dell. It sought to pour cold water on a Financial Times report that it had imposed a hiring freeze while it slows production of Apple's latest smartphone.
"Due to an unprecedented rate of return of employees following the Chinese New Year holiday compared to years past, our company has decided to temporarily slow down our recruitment process," the company said in a statement.
"This action is not related to any single customer and any speculation to the contrary is false and inaccurate."
Like other Chinese contract manufacturers, Foxconn, the trading name of Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, relies on a large number of migrant laborers from across the country who journey home for the most important holiday of the year. Many do not make it back to work, but Foxconn spokesman Louis Woo said this year they saw as many as 97 percent of employees return.
A Foxconn recruitment centre in an industrial suburb of Shenzhen, where job-seekers register their names and mobile numbers, was closed on Thursday.
"I've waited here four days now and I've spent a lot," said Yang Jun, a hopeful migrant from Shanxi province, in northern China. "I'm not sure how long I can hold out. If they don't contact me soon I'll have to leave."
Apple sold a less-than-expected 47.8 million iPhones in the 2012 holiday quarter, fanning fears that its dominance of consumer electronics is on the decline as Samsung Electronics Co and other manufacturers that use Google Inc's Android software gradually gain market share.
The iPhone is Apple's most important product, accounting for half its revenue. The company's shares slipped almost 2 pct on Wednesday to $451, and are down about 34 percent from their September peak above $700, as investors fret about sliding margins and intensifying competition.
IMPLICATIONS FOR APPLE
Apple watchers often take cues from its component suppliers and manufacturing partners. In January, CEO Tim Cook took the unusual step of warning investors that it is difficult to extrapolate from limited "data points".
RBC estimates that just 70 to 80 percent of Chinese workers return to factories it tracks.
"This year we believe the return rates have been closer to 90 percent, which may minimize the need to hire," RBC analyst Amit Daryanani wrote in a Wednesday research note.
"Given the timing of the freeze, it may have more to do with higher return rates of employees versus what was expected by Foxconn and other supply chain companies."
Foxconn's latest statement contradicts another Foxconn spokesman, Liu Kun, who is cited in the newspaper on Wednesday as saying, "Currently, none of the plants in mainland China have hiring plans."
A check on Foxconn's recruitment website on Wednesday showed the company's Taiyuan and Hangzhou plants were hiring. But its factory complex in the southern city of Shenzhen is its single largest production base.
The Shenzhen plant "is not hiring at the moment because workers' return rate after Chinese New Year is very high this year, reaching 97 pct", Woo said.
"We replenish each year depending on the return rate."

'Twitter Building' lands first restaurant
Market Square takes up the full block on Market, between Ninth and Tenth. Photo via Market Square
Matt Semmelhack. Photo: The Chronicle
Matt Semmelhack and Mark Liberman ? the team behind the celebrated AQ in SoMa ? are the first restaurant tenants of the big Market Square development (a.k.a. the Twitter building), where they plan to open a street-level, all-day brasserie and bar named Bon March?.
The name refers to several things. Le Bon March? is the famous Parisian department store, which dates back to the 1830s, making it one of the world?s first (and most beautiful) department stores; its name influenced a Seattle branch in the early 20th century that eventually became a part of Macy?s. The retailer and department store context is a sly wink to the Market Square building?s former life as the S.F. Furniture Mart. Plus, the French connection is a nod to the building?s Art Deco roots, Semmelhack says, which they?ll try to maintain.
Of course, with Bon March?, there?s also the translation to ?good market? ? and the location is directly on Market Street and the mid-Market neighborhood.
Liberman will be the executive chef, and the food will be contemporary Californian brasserie fare. What does that mean? Like traditional brasseries, the 125-seat Bon March? will be open all day, and the plan is to create a bustling environment and bar scene. There will be a large menu and a big emphasis on a raw bar (yes, there will be seafood plateaus), though the food will be more modern twists on classics, similar to what they do at AQ ? familiar reference points, envisioned in new, fun ways, Semmelhack says. The price point will be lower than AQ.

On the bar side, plans call for a full liquor license, and like AQ, cocktails are hoped to be a strong point. While the food will skew toward the modern and Californian, the bar program will likely slant toward the French brasserie classics a little more. Also, AQ?s beverage director Kristen Capella wants to have the largest sparkling wine collection in the country.
Since it?s an all-day affair, Bon March? will offer coffee and simple breakfast in the mornings; they?re playing with ideas on making physical changes throughout the day to the restaurant ? or a possible 60-foot bar ? to utilize the space for the appropriate time of day.
BCV Architects, who did the reimagined Ferry Building (among others), is spearheading the design of Market Square, and it?s likely they?ll be involved in Bon March? as well. The 7,300 square foot restaurant space is full of ?soaring? ceilings and fat concrete columns, with entrances from Market Street and both the old and new lobbies. A full build-out is required, and it will be a few months before construction even begins, so the entire project is still 18-24 months away, and that?s the earliest ETA.
Shorenstein Properties, the developers/visionaries behind the entire Market Square project, still have a few more restaurant/bar spaces available, so it should be interesting to see who snatches them up now that the first lease has been signed. Meanwhile, Semmelhack and Liberman are still working on their other new project, next door to AQ, which now carries the moniker of TBD.
