This year The Award for the Advancement of Free Software was given to Dr. Fernando Perez, the creator of IPython. Fernando got his bachelor and master degree in Physics from Universidad de Antioquia. This prize was motivated specially for his development of the new impresive Ipython notebok. In 2010 during one stay as Visiting Professor at Insituto de Física of Universidad de Antioquia invited by our Group, Fernando give us one advanced course in Scientific Computing with Python. There Fernando share with us the early stages of development of the redesign of Ipython and in particular the required tools to make something like the notebook possible. Two of the students of the course: Omar Zapata and Gerardo Gutierrez were motivated for his vision and applied and obtained two Summer of Code Google awards to work with Fenrnado in the required tools to make the notebook and the QT console possible. The full history about the Ipython notebook is here

White smoke arose from the Champagne bottles at the CERN headquarters today (and maybe in the Peter Higgs's house also), after the least conservative word combination: "a Higgs", instead of "a new boson" was allowed to be used by the speakers from CMS at Moriond Conference, in order to present the long-awaited updated results in the $H\to \gamma\gamma$ channel. Like with the other fumata bianca, it also has nothing to do with god. We will need to wait at least until 2015 to know if the discovered Higgs is in fact "the Higgs" (the standard model one). From the current combined data of ATLAS+CMS, it is expected strong evidence that the dicovered particle has spin-0, positive parity, and couples also to fermions. Any way, all have been settled for this year Nobel prize, specially after the press release from CERN:

This arXiv preprint about The Chelyabinsk Meteoroid from a team of Instituto de Física at Universidad de Antioquia, is generating headlines in the media around the world. Below a compilation of some of them
