Simply read the message from the validator:

--- 8< ---

Error Line 11 column 6: end tag for "HEAD" which is not finished.
</head>

Most likely, You nested tags and closed them in the wrong order. For  
example <p><em>...</p> is not acceptable, as <em> must be closed before  
<p>. Acceptable nesting is: <p><em>...</em></p>

Another possibility is that you used an element which requires a child  
element that you did not include. Hence the parent element is "not  
finished", not complete. For instance, <head> generally requires a  
<title>, lists (ul, ol, dl) require list items (li, or dt, dd), and so on.

--- 8< ---

Specifically, the last sentence: "For instance, <head> generally requires  
a <title>". This is the case for HTML transitional.

Where is the <title> element of your head block? It's missing, exactly as  
the error message says, so the <head> is indeed not finished.
