Old Arkansas Razorback says hi!
Hello all! I'm old Arkansas Razorback that was born and raised in Arkansas but lived and hunted also in News Mexico and Wyoming. Africa has always been a fascination since I was a small boy now over 60 years ago. I've enjoyed all the great books on Africa and still do. Though I will never live to see the Dark Continent it does not lessen my appreciation of that have and do along what the offers those that tread her bountiful lands.

Welcome to AH paparock! 60 is not that old a lot of us here are in that ball park, and as far as living long enough to see the Dark Continent it's just a matter of keep breathing and saving your money.
Enjoy life now -- it has an expiration date.

Antony Gormley One of the most celebrated and talked about artists of his generation, Turner Prize-winner Antony Gormley (b. 1950) generates lively debate and critical acclaim. His large-scale, iconic projects such as Angel of the North at Gateshead, the 100 cast-iron sculptures he placed on a British beach for Another Place, and the hundreds of small terracotta figurines he asked the public to create for Field have cemented his place among todays leading contemporary artists… | |||||||||||

Louise Bourgeois This engaging survey probes the spellbinding life and work of Louise Bourgeois, whose artworks are among the most memorable of the 20th century, and now the 21st.

Douglas Gordon Born in Glasgow in 1966, Douglas Gordon first came to prominence in the 1990s, winning the Turner Prize in 1996.

text: Cruel Reality, watching so closely, like a motionless tiger, lying in wait. We were so safe in our Dream bubble, so unaware of the cold world outside. The sun shone so brightly upon the green field, and together we danced, laughingly, carefree. But jealous Reality, clothed in red dress, gazed at our joy, and then gleefully screamed, "I'll take your bright sun and replace it with rain; your green grassy field will become a gray swamp. Every sweet word that you both have spoken shall now melt away, leaving nothing behind." So the walls of our love were quickly torn down, and Reality quickly swept us apart.

Draft Tek one of the few sites out there that mocks all seven rounds. Will update as they update leading up to the draft. I will admit that the Eric Reid pick seems like a reach at #10.
Drafttek.com uses a computer program to simulate a 7-round 2012 NFL Mock Draft. Each team has an individual analyst who supplies data on 2012 NFL Draft Team Needs. The team needs are matched up against a list of 2012 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings (Big Board) in order to generate each selection in our 2012 NFL Mock Draft.
www.drafttek.com247Sports: Your team all the time.
Rd 1 - Kenny Vaccaro, S Texas - I think this is a reach. The safety class this yr is nicely deep, but void of top end talent. I would've gone elsewhere. His alternate picks were Datone Jones and Barkavious Mingo......both DE's. Jones is WAAAY to high here, but I'd take Mingo over Vaccaro easily.
Rd 2 - Larry Warford, G "Michigan State?"....Really? Warford plays for Kentucky, not MSU. Warford is a stud and tore it up at the Sr Bowl. I wouldn't mind him at all. DE Ansah is the alternate......not too bad either. Barrett Jones and Travis Frederick are still on the board and I would seriously consider them as well.
Rd 3 - C. Carradine, DE, FSU. Good pick really. He'd be much higher had he not been injured this past yr. He's a 1st-2nd rd talent. Robert Lester and Bacarri Rambo were still on the board......a few more options.
Rd 4 - Alex Hurst, OT, LSU. Not bad. His alternate of Dallas Thomas, G/T is a much better option. Many see Thomas as a sure fire 2nd rdr. I agree, I like Thomas better.
Rd 5 - Ryan Swope, WR, TA&M. Not bad. Would be a nice proven WR.
Rd 6 - none
Rd 7 - Miguel Maysonet, RB, Stony Brook. Who?

Abstract: Active ingredients in different lengths of black soybean sprouts were extracted with water. Concentrations of the main proteins and polysaccharides were determined by the Forint phenol assay and phenol-sulfuric acid assay, respectively. Anti-oxidizing capacities of the extracts were measured in vitro using the DPPH scavenging test and whitening capacity was measured in vitro using the tyrosinase inhibition test. The effects of the bean sprout extracts on human skin fibroblasts damnified by H2O2 were studied using an MTT colorimetric assay. The safety of the extracts was determined using the red blood cell (RBC) test, chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay and human patch test. Results show that DPPH radical scavenging rates at different shoot lengths were all greater than 95%, while the tyrosinase inhibition capacity of the extracts reached 98%. Hemolysis rate in all extracts were lower than 10%, below the 20% regulatory limit for the RBC test. No signs of allergic reactions were observed in the human patch tests. The optimum extract was obtained from bean sprouts grown to 0.5 cm. Extracts of black bean sprouts are safe and can be used as additives in anti-aging and whitening cosmetic products.

In Canon's digital SLR range, the EOS 60D sits between the just-above-entry-level EOS 550D and the serious EOS 7D. The 60D has some of the 550D's user-friendliness, while also offering some of the 7D's high-end technology, including its advanced metering system.
The 60D, which replaces the popular EOS 50D, doesn't come cheap. You'll pay around £900 for the body only. Canon supplied our 60D with a bright and stunningly sharp 17-55mm kit lens -- a package that will set you back around £1,800.
Big and fast
At the 60D's heart beats an 18-megapixel, APS-C sized CMOS sensor, offering a magnification factor of 1.6x, no matter which lens is attached. Canon's standard-issue Digic 4 processor affords a burst speed of 5.3 frames per second. That's hardly class-leading but it's still respectable for a consumer model, as is the nine-point autofocus system.
The 60D weighs a reassuringly hefty 755g, including its rechargeable battery and an SD, SDHC or SDXC card, inserted via a slot on the camera's side. The 60D may be bulky but it feels like a piece of kit that will do the job, will last, and will repay your not inconsiderable investment.
The 60D will make you look every inch the serious photographer. It's definitely not a camera for surreptitious shooting, thanks, in part, to the satisfyingly loud 'clunk' that's heard every time the shutter fires.
Rapid-response unit
The camera's response times are blink-of-an-eye quick. Flick the power switch and you can be up and shooting as quickly as you can bring your eye to the optical viewfinder and your forefinger to the shutter-release button. It's very satisfying. With the camera in autofocus mode, focus and exposure are likewise determined in an instant.
The shutter-release button is situated atop a large, well-moulded handgrip, around which you can comfortably wrap three fat fingers. The other controls, including the normal array of command dials, a scroll wheel and sundry dedicated function buttons, fall within reach of your right hand's forefinger or thumb. Consequently, operation feels fluid and natural.
The optical viewfinder is large and reasonably bright, so we didn't find ourselves constantly squinting. A large LCD display on the top of the camera allows you to make key adjustments on the fly, such as altering the drive mode, metering and ISO speed. This saves you having to drill down into the menu system proper. Adjusting each setting merely requires a button press and a twist of a scroll wheel on the back of the camera.
The standard light-sensitivity range of ISO 100 to ISO 6,400 is expandable up to an ISO 12,800 equivalent for situations where light is low but use of a flash is undesirable. Most mid-range dSLRs now offer similar 'see in the dark' abilities. Similarly, the 60D offers the ability to shoot a JPEG file on its own, or capture both a JPEG file and an optimum-quality raw shot at the same time.
Friendly firing
The more you play with the 60D, the clearer it becomes that Canon's made a real effort to make its semi-pro camera user-friendly.
One of the clearest indications of this is the 60D's flip-out, swivelling, vari-angle LCD screen with live view. It's a first for the EOS dSLR family. This 3-inch display has a 3:2 aspect ratio (rather than the standard 4:3) and a high resolution of 1,040,000 pixels. Thus, the screen appears lifelike in its clarity, and it does an excellent job of keeping up with the action as you pan and tilt the camera.
The anti-reflective and water-resistant screen proves very useful when framing either stills or 1080p video, thanks to its swivelling nature. Incidentally, the movie mode now has its own icon on the overly crowded shooting-mode dial. That's still a novelty for a dSLR.
Another user-friendly and time-saving touch is the provision of a 'quick control' screen, summoned via the 'Q' button to the right of the swivelling display. This button brings up a toolbar on the left-hand side of the screen that allows you to make sundry adjustments in playback mode. You can also process raw images in-camera, with the resultant image saved as a JPEG.
The 60D offers some 'creative filters' to give a limited boost to your creativity. The toy, grainy black and white, miniature and soft-focus filters can be applied to both raw and JPEG images after they've been taken, rather than at the time of capture. This may not be an essential feature, but it's effective nevertheless -- particularly if you don't want to spend ages in Photoshop to achieve the same effect.
Picture almost perfect
We were very pleased with the natural, yet utterly absorbing, colour tones that the 60D delivered. Bear in mind, though, that, roughly speaking, results will improve proportionally to the amount of money you spend on a lens.
The camera's autofocus system is fast and accurate too, so that, even when faced with busy scenes, it's easier to simply recompose your frame to get the emphasis you desire, rather than switch to manual and possibly lose the moment.
The Canon EOS 60D is a pumped-up powerhouse of a digital SLR. It's crammed full of class-leading but consumer-friendly features (we've only been able to touch on them here), and it may be the only camera that an amateur photography enthusiast will ever need. Professional photographers may also find the 60D to be a robust back-up camera. If you're prepared to cough up the requisite dough, you're unlikely to be disappointed.

WWIB: Side To Side
I'm like cupid making matches here on V-Day! Look at all that side-boob! They will be perfect together!
North Carolina & Texas
WWIB: Side To Side, -
Yeah, they may be perfect together to 'our' eyes. But if they were to encounter each other down an isle, they'd take one look and say about the other, "eww, that person is gross…"
Of course, they'd be having their own in-head dialogues while not realizing they're the male or female counterpart of their mirror-image. -
This is a tough one.
On the one side, she should be wearing a bra – PLEASE START WEARING A BRA! If for no other reason, it will make it look like she has some sort of cleavage.
On the other side, his shirt is stained and disgusting – side boob or not.
It's just epic fail on both sides and I usually try to find something nice to say. WORK WITH ME PEOPLE!
Twins from another mother! I don't think it's fair that as a woman her attire is considered indecent but a man with boobs can go shirtless. That said, I think the woman thought by tucking her boobs into her shorts she wouldn't need to wear a bra. Never mind about the huge gaping holes on both sides of her top which wasn't even meant to be worn alone. It's suppose to be worn over a t-shirt or something similar. Lets hope they're both there to buy mirrors for their home.

I adopted this recipe. I had prepared it for a holiday function prior to the adoption. The comments from my original review stated, "This dense, rich chocolate cake is intensely moist. It baked perfectly and made a lovely layer cake. I will be using this recipe again for chocolate cake needs." The cake in my photo has Chocolate Buttercream Frosting, between the layers, and is frosted with Chocolate Frosting before being covered with my Chocolate Curls. It was a huge hit, and I have made this cake many, many times since.

From Las Vegas — Day one of the Pac-12 is in the books and four teams are already out. One of those teams was Washington State, which saw its season end in a thrilling late-night match against Stanford. Here is our story from the game, as well as quotes and video of coach Ken Bone and DaVonte Lacy. While in town I also covered top-seeded Idaho's blowout of Chicago State in WAC women's action.
In the day's other action, the Huskies also bowed out, Colorado slipped past 12th-seeded USC and Oregon took down rival Oregon State.
Athlon ranked all the FBS coaching jobs and has WSU at the bottom of the Pac-12. Cal is hoping its retooled defense improves. Stewart Mandel's mailbag is always worth one's time.
From Las Vegas — Today the Washington State men will take on Stanford in the Pac-12 tournament. Here's our advance on WSU's do or die situation. We'll also be covering the top-seeded Idaho women. Josh Wright has the preview here. We've also got the news that starting cornerback DaQuawn Brown has been arrested and will in all likelihood be dismissed from the team. Oregon will look to defend its tournament title.
Tha-tha-tha-that's all, folks!
From Pullman — Had my first flight out of the Pullman airport canceled so I don't have long before making the familiar journey up to Spokane. The final destination will be Sin City, the Land of Lost Wages. We'll be covering not only the Washington State men in the Pac-12 tournament — featured in our blog post here — but both Idaho teams in the Western Athletic Conference tournament … The Pac-12 announced its All-Conference teams today and there wasn't much crimson or gray to be found … Nor was there much purple and gold, on the first team at least, and Lorenzo Romar found the omission of his best player confounding … Arizona, however, had no shortage of honors … Ted Miller takes a look at the conference kickers …
From Pullman — The Washington State men's basketball team is hitting the road a little early, leaving Pullman today and heading to Las Vegas for the Pac-12 tournament. Their opponent will be Stanford. We touch on that and have some highlights in a blog post today … Bud Withers put out his Pac-12 All-Conference team … As did Percy Allen … Chris Foster says UCLA hasn't improved since sacking Ben Howland, but that's no reason to think they won't.
From Pullman — The Washington State seniors went out in style last night, upending UCLA in the regular season finale. We've also got video and quotes from the win. However, the laws of the universe required that the WSU women fall in the Pac-12 tournament semifinals to balance out the men's good fortune.
The day's biggest upset however was Oregon's win over No. 3 Arizona, which likely assures Oregon of an NCAA tournament berth … Stanford scraped out a much-needed win over Utah … Arizona State, California and Washington also came away with narrow victories.
From Pullman — Washington State knocked off No. 20 California last night to return to the Pac-12 Women's Basketball Tournament semifinals for the second time in three years. Thomas Clouse watched watched Lia Galdeira scored 28 points to lead the Cougars in their 91-83 win and has a game story from Seattle. The baseball team also won on Friday, taking a series opener from Texas State. Suiting up as Cougars for the final time in Pullman will be D.J. Shelton and Will DiIorio. A football player whose time at WSU has passed is getting ready for the NFL draft. Yesterday the State Senate passed a resolution honoring WSU's 1915 Rose Bowl team.
ESPN's Pac-12 blog takes a look at each team's safety depth … Washington's Spring practices may not be pretty … The Huskies are also getting ready to say goodbye to their seniors … The Ducks have one more chance to show they're legit, against No. 3 Arizona … Utah looks to cap an impressive late-season run against Stanford … The Beavers hope everything comes together against Arizona State … Cal and Colorado will have a lot of chips on the table in today's game.
From Pullman — For awhile it seemed that the USC game could very well be Washington State's last win of the season. Then last night they lost it thanks to a brutal second half. Here's our game story from the loss. Before the game former WSU safety Deone Bucannon met with the media to talk about his preparations for the upcoming NFL draft. We've got video of the All-American, as well as post game videos of a couple players and coach Ken Bone. We also had a blog post on former WSU RB/DB Clarence Williams who is on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot.
On the women's side the Cougars hit the century mark, again, in a win over Oregon to start of Pac-12 tournament play.
In the day's other game Washington fell to UCLA at home.
From Pullman — The vocal majority that despises a proposed NCAA football rule change that would give defenses 10 seconds to substitute got welcome news yesterday. The proposal has been tabled, effectively cast off into a sea of bureaucracy and red tape from which it will never emerge … Today the Washington State basketball team will do battle with USC in a titanic matchup ("Titanic" referring to the ship, not the forebears of the Greek Pantheon). We've got our Four Corners preview of the game and a local college basketball notebook … Former WSU football player Steve Broussard has been hired at SMU.
Arizona squeaked by Oregon State yesterday, while Colorado and Utah each had critical road wins. Tomorrow UCLA will try to win at Washington, where it has lost eight of its last nine games.
From Pullman — Just one more day until the Cougars take on Oregon in the Pac-12 Women's Basketball Tournament. Thomas Clouse will be covering the team, and he's got a story on the matchup. Washington State will have a pair of All-Conference players taking the court. Mr. Clouse has a story on Tia Presley and Lia Galdeira, and we've got a blog post as well … In our baseball notebook the Cougars respond to the NCAA inquiry into a player's eligibility .
Check out John Blanchette's movie reviews … Ted Miller breaks down the Pac-12 defensive ends … Washington had its first practice under new coach Chris Petersen … But a longtime captain is in trouble with the law … Oregon now has a winning record with yesterday's win over Arizona State … Stanford is hoping to help its tournament resume with a win over Colorado today … Arizona needs to avoid a letdown in the home stretch … Utah has one more shot to prove it can win on the road.
Deone Bucannon became an All-American at Washington State and there was little doubt that the safety would have a chance to show his stuff in the NFL. Because of his eye-popping combine numbers Bucannon could be picked pretty early in May's NFL draft. The experts seem to think Bucannon will go in the second or third round. A Cougar hasn't been drafted in the third round since Jason Hill in 2007 and if Bucannon can edge his way up to the second round he'll be the earliest Cougar picked since Marcus Trufant went No. 11 overall in 2003. In 2002 both Raonall Smith and Lamont Thompson were drafted in the second round out of WSU.
The Huskies have started Spring football and here are some notes from the first day … Stanford is also practicing and once again trying to replace some irreplaceable players … Arizona owes much of its success this season to a phenomenal freshman … The Pac-12 Women's Basketball Tournament field has been set, Thomas Clouse will be covering the action for the S-R.
Show me the money? Show him the diploma. Jason Monda's decision to turn his nose at a $200,000 signing bonus is the basis of our college baseball preview. The team split its double-header with Cal State Northridge yesterday.
The Pac-12 media was proven to be composed of geniuses once again when preseason favorite Arizona clinched the Pac-12 on Sunday, defeating Stanford to make it official … It wasn't easy but UCLA got by Oregon State at home … Their season is far from over so Arizona State fans will have time to brace themselves for life without Jahii Carson, who will enter the NBA draft …
The regular season is over for the WSU women's basketball team, which fell to No. 5 Stanford on Saturday. The Cougars will head to next week's Pac-12 tournament in Seattle as the No. 7 seed, and will play Oregon in the first round. WSU will need a very good showing to have a chance to make it to the Big Dance. ESPN's Charlie Creme projects just four Pac-12 teams to the NCAA tournament and WSU is not among them. Washington may have a chance, however, after upsetting No. 18 Cal on the road. The Huskies were led by freshman Kelsey Plum, yet again.
In men's games on Saturday the Sun Devils cruised past California, Oregon had no trouble dispatching USC and Utah pulled to 8-8 in conference with a win over Colorado.
Former WSU pitcher Adam Conley is one of the Miami Marlins' best prospects. Conley picked up a Spring Training win yesterday.
From Seattle — The Washington Huskies left no doubt they were the better team on Friday night, teasing the Cougars with their sharp shooting and clamping down on the Washington State offense. The Huskies made of half their shots and the Cougars barely broke 30 percent. D.J. Shelton had a remarkably unique game, collecting 15 rebounds but going 0 for 10 on 3-pointers.
We've got a game story on WSU's 72-49 loss and the box score. Adam Lewis places the fault at the failure to establish Shelton inside the paint and here is a game story from the UW perspective. Kevin Dowd says that rumors of Lorenzo Romar's demise are premature.
Today Utah will take on Colorado, Oregon will try to stay perfect against USC under Dana Altman and Arizona State will honor its big senior class in a game against Cal.
Today the Washington State Cougars will attempt to win their first Pac-12 road game since a 71-68 victory at Oregon State on Jan. 26, 2013. It was their only conference road win that season. They'll also hope to make it a sweep against rival Washington this season. We previewed that game in our Four Corners on Thursday … WSU's first win over UW was a season-changer for the Huskies … The Cougars sure could use a big performance from Que Johnson, who has been quiet of late … The women's team nearly pulled off a critical upset at No. 18 California but fell in overtime … The Bruins battled without two key players but Oregon's double-overtime win puts the NCAA tournament within the Ducks' crosshairs … The one they call "Zeus" is still climbing his Mt. Olympus … USC lost again. This time to USC.
The above video is pretty awesome. For starters, it's an awesome shot. Another thing is that it was a game winner that allowed Western Washington University to beat rival Central Washington University. But the most awesome thing is that the shooter, Richard Woodworth, is a senior who hit that shot on Senior Night.
On Friday WSU will take on Washington. WSU coach Ken Bone used to be on Lorenzo Romar's staff at UW. Romar is standing by his old assistant … We've also got our Four Corners preview of that game … Bud Withers assesses the state of the Pac-12 … Former UW quarterback Keith Price is keeping a draft diary for USA Today … Arizona had no trouble with Cal on Wednesday … While Arizona State sent Stanford packing … Today USC will hope to get its second conference win … And Oregon's postseason hopes could depend on beating UCLA today.
From Pullman — Deone Bucannon made the most of his opportunities at the NFL Combine yesterday, putting up good numbers across the board … Gonzaga and Washington State's baseball teams have the same problem right now: pitching … Don't expect to see any more tweets from the Iowa basketball team … The Apple Cup of basketball is on Friday and no one seems to care … Arizona has a chance to avenge its departed shot at an undefeated season … It's already football time again in Palo Alto … Catching up with Oregon State football … UCLA's Tony Parker has been playing well lately.
When Tia Presley scores 32 points the WSU women's basketball team just can't lose. That's not a statement that's particularly packed with meaning — most teams win when a player is that successful. But Presley has put up 32 points in three of WSU's last four games, all of which came against Pac-12 competition. We've got a story on how Presley is leading the Cougars' late-season run … Bud Withers has a column on Ken Bone's trials and tribulations at WSU.
Spring is officially in the air and Stanford will begin football practices this week … Ted Miller breaks down each Pac-12 school's QB situation … Former Spokane prep running back Bishop Sankey had a pretty good day at the NFL combine.
From Eugene — The Cougars led, for a half, then Mike Moser happened. If only he'd stayed at UNLV. It's tough to beat a team when their 6-foot-8 power forward hits a three from the top of the key, and then hits another. And another. The Ducks stormed back, the Cougars lost and we've got a blog post, story and videos of Ken Bone and the players afterward. We've also passed along some video of Deone Bucannon at the NFL Combine.
But the WSU women beat Oregon … I didn't see this before but Bud Withers has a story about the struggles experienced by Oregon State's Craig Robinson … The contest between Cal and USC was pretty similar to the WSU game … Utah creamed Arizona State.
There used to be a certain emptiness on Sundays following the Super Bowl. A new work week was about to begin, Saturday's revelry was firmly in the rearview mirror and there weren't any games to watch. People took up odious pastimes like jogging and reading. But no longer. The Pac-12 has your back. Now Sunday is simply another day for college basketball, like a Thursday or a Saturday. Or a Wednesday.
Today the Cougars will take on Oregon in Matthew Knight Arena, envy of the Portland Trail Blazers … In our Blog Matters section of today's paper we revisit some comments Bill Moos made about basketball facilities at WSU … We've also got the musings of Vincent "Vince" Grippi and his thoughts on the future of WSU basketball … David Murphy gives his thoughts on the Phillies treatment of WSU's Jason Monda … The WSU Open is underway and the Cougars are impressing at home … Much like Washington's first Pac-12 road game, it's last was a surprisingly lopsided win … Stanford took care of No. 23 UCLA at home … Freshman Aaron Gordon led the Wildcats past Colorado in a decisive win …
A relatively quiet day yesterday, but the Pac-12 announced the 2014 inductions into the Men's Basketball Hall of Honor. We've got a blog post on WSU's inductee, Ed Gayda. Deone Bucannon will arrive in Indianapolis today for the NFL Combine. Here's a nice story on Bucannon by ESPN's Kyle Bonagura and a draft profile on the former WSU safety.
Bucannon isn't the only Pac-12 star prepping for the NFL Draft. Stanford's David Shaw has taken another step toward finally becoming an amorphous blob of coaching energy. UCLA is on a roll and Travis Wear is a big part of the Bruins' newfound success.
See Vince's links to make your way to Ted Miller's Mailbag. We wouldn't sully ourselves with it.

► Photochemical molecule (AAQ) restores light sensitivity to retinas from blind mice ► AAQ-mediated photosensitization occurs quickly and requires no genetic modification ► AAQ acts on many retinal cell types, amplifying and shaping the RGC light response ► Intraocular AAQ injection restores light-elicited behavior in vivo in blind mice
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are degenerative blinding diseases caused by the death of rods and cones, leaving the remainder of the visual system intact but largely unable to respond to light. Here, we show that AAQ, a synthetic small molecule photoswitch, can restore light sensitivity to the retina and behavioral responses in vivo in mouse models of RP, without exogenous gene delivery. Brief application of AAQ bestows prolonged light sensitivity on multiple types of retinal neurons, resulting in synaptically amplified responses and center-surround antagonism in arrays of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Intraocular injection of AAQ restores the pupillary light reflex and locomotory light avoidance behavior in mice lacking retinal photoreceptors, indicating reconstitution of light signaling to brain circuits. AAQ and related photoswitch molecules present a potential drug strategy for restoring retinal function in degenerative blinding diseases.

At Sea
Smugglers, shipwrecks, and the harrowing, tragic journey of Syrian refugees trying to get to Sweden.
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt — Soha stands in a filthy room in Karmouz Police Station. Her eyes are red from days of crying, and a small child gently strokes her hand to console her.
"They died in my arms," she says weakly, tears rolling off her cheeks. "All three of them."
Soha, a Syrian refugee of Palestinian descent, recently fled the horrors of war in Syria to only find further persecution and misery in Egypt. She is one of thousands of Syrian refugees who attempted the deadly two-week-long boat crossing to Europe in search of a better life.
On Oct. 11, Soha, along with around 160 other refugees, boarded rickety boats in the port city of Alexandria. The boats took the group to a bigger vessel bound for Italy's shores. From there, Soha planned to travel to Sweden, which announced it would grant asylum to Syrians who reach the country. She knew it was a dangerous journey: A week earlier, a boat carrying African refugees from Libya sunk off the coast of the Italian island of Lampedusa, claiming over 350 lives.
The nightmare repeated itself on Soha's journey. The refugees were only in the larger vessel for seven minutes before it started to sink. Egyptian media said a dozen people were killed in the incident, though refugees say the number is much higher.
In the sea, enveloped by darkness, Soha gasped for air and held on to her four daughters, ages 3, 5, 6, and 8. She didn't know how to swim, and she hoped the one life preserver she wore would support all five of them. But soon she realized they would all likely drown.
Soha faced an impossible choice. Should she choose one child to save, but let the other three drown? She couldn't. She refused. It went against every motherly instinct in her body.
Waves washed over her, pulling one of her daughters from her desperate grip. The second girl tried to grab Soha's leg, but lost hold. And then a third, overcome by seawater, drowned as her mother held her. Haya, Sama, and Julia were lost to the sea. Only one daughter, the eldest, survived.
For six hours, Soha and her daughter floated in the water. Every so often, another person in the group would succumb to exhaustion and slip into the dark waters below.
Help didn't come until sunrise.
The stranded swimmers were first spotted by fishermen, who alerted the Egyptian Navy. But even the Navy's arrival did not mark the end of the refugees' ordeal: The Navy circled the refugees, filming them as they drowned, according to multiple survivors.
It wasn't only the Navy men who were indifferent to the refugees' suffering. Several women told a visiting doctor at the police station that when they were pulled into rescue boats, the dead still floating in the water, the fishermen harassed them. "Your daughters are beautiful. Can we marry them?" they asked.
It's not hard to see why Syrians would be desperate to leave Egypt: Since the military's ouster of President Mohamed Morsy on July 3, they have become the target of hate campaigns and xenophobic hysteria. One of the new government's first moves was to institute a visa requirement for Syrians, which makes it nearly impossible for many to enter Egypt. Many Syrian refugees already in the country have been accused of participating in Islamist demonstrations and taking up arms, leading to arrests, beatings, and deportations.
But war at home and persecution abroad are not the only trials they face. Survivors from the accident who were interviewed, as well as refugees from other boats intercepted by Egyptian forces off the coast of Alexandria, mention a figure who goes by the alias Abu Ibrahim. He's the man behind the smuggling, they say. He has an office in Alexandria, a fleet of ships, and a booming business promising scores of Syrian refugees the promise of a fresh start in Europe. A single boat ticket can cost around $3,000.
But Abu Ibrahim's promises, survivors say, are a mere illusion. Dozens of refugees from multiple trips arranged by Abu Ibrahim were robbed by hired thugs wielding knives once they boarded the boat. It was a trap. Everything was taken: wedding rings, money, cell phones, even clothing. One Syrian businessman, Samir, said thieves stole $10,500 from his family. He had sold the family's home in the southern Syrian city of Daraa when Bashar al-Assad's regime threatened to kill his children. The Egyptian thieves took every penny.
The Syrians now detained at Karmouz Police Station rely on donations for nearly everything: food, clothing, medicine, baby diapers. Taher Mukhtar, a resident doctor of emergency medicine who works without pay to treat the refugees in the police station, says there isn't enough baby formula for a newborn child held in detention, born just days before the deadly boat trip. According to Mukhtar, the baby's mother is unable to breastfeed due to extreme stress and lack of proper food in the prison.
The physical marks of war on the refugees are obvious. They lift their shirts and pant legs to reveal scars from shrapnel and bullets. But many of the children's faces also bear rashes and scabs -- the result not of the war back home, said Mukhtar, but of the prison's squalid conditions. "It's inhumane," he said, shaking his head. "There's a scabies outbreak now."
In a passageway leading from the prison's entrance to the room housing male Syrian refugees, who are separated from the women at night, belts lie coiled on the floor, used to whip inmates. Bloody handprints are on the walls near a door with steel bars, behind which young Egyptian men peer out. "How else will they learn?" a police chief at Karmouz Police Station asks plainly.
The refugees detained at the police station say they have not been subjected to torture, but the screams of Egyptian inmates bring up memories of the nightmare they left in Syria. Mukhtar says that signs of extreme mental distress and illness are obvious among the detained refugees.
All the refugees who were detained after their attempted boat crossing will likely be deported from Egypt at the request of state security, according to the deputy head of the prison, Tamer al-Nashar. Most will be forced to return to Syria. Those refugees who are Syrian -- not Palestinian-Syrian refugees -- can choose to go to Turkey, Lebanon, or back to Syria, though Nashar says that some of the detained have managed to flee elsewhere, either through contacts or bribes, to places like Tunisia.
Many Syrian refugees have seized on Sweden as their final destination, as it's the only European Union country that has agreed to permanently take in all Syrians who reach the country. But many also misunderstand the country's policy: They believe the Swedish Embassy in Egypt will grant them visas and asylum, or somehow, if they make it to Southern Europe, they will be allowed to travel unhindered to Sweden.
"They are opening the back door, by accepting people when they reach Sweden," says Marwa Hashem of the UNHCR, the U.N.'s refugee agency, in Cairo. "But if they go to the embassy, they will not get them the visa."
According to the Swedish Consulate in Alexandria, dozens of Syrians seek its assistance every day, but are turned away. "It's the United Nations' issue," Omnia Naggar, assistant to the consulate's head of mission, told Foreign Policy.
Despite the dangers -- and even as morgues fill with the bodies of drowned men, women, and children -- an increasing number of desperate refugees are still deciding to risk the journey to Europe. On Oct. 15, the Italian navy rescued roughly 370 Syrian, Somali, and Eritrean migrants who were adrift between Libya and Sicily.
While Soha says she won't set foot in a boat again, she insists the fight to get to Sweden isn't over.
The refugees at Karmouz Police Station say they are looking for one thing -- hope. It's found in the smallest of ways: A young father bounces his infant son, Habib, up and down, the baby's mosquito-bitten face lighting up in giggles. Just a few days earlier, he held his son above the water for hours in a desperate attempt to save his life.
"We call him 'miracle baby,'" the father said. And as the group crowded around the tiny child, Habib's fierce green eyes twinkled.

This article is by staff writer April Dykman.
On average, women earn less than men for the same job and performance level. Popular thought has been that that's because women simply don't ask for more money. Makes sense, right? You have to ask for something in order to receive it.
But there's something about that line of thinking that has never sat well with me.
I asked and did not receive
During college, I worked for almost four years part-time for a hair product distributor. My first job there was answering the phones, but due to my Mac knowledge and Adobe Illustrator skills, I quickly moved from the front desk to working side-by-side with the CEO on marketing projects and event planning.
Upon graduation, my boss scheduled a meeting so we could to talk about my switch to being a full-time, salaried employee. Being no dummy, I figured this would include salary negotiation. So I did some serious homework to prepare. I read countless articles on how to negotiate your salary. I researched the salaries for similar positions in my city. I prepared a one-page document with this information to use during the meeting, just in case I got nervous and forgot the numbers.
The day of the meeting, my boss didn't come into the office. She'd decided to work from home that day. The other boss, her husband, fit me in right before he left for the day (which was right after lunch). So we met in his office. I think I'd read somewhere that you shouldn't throw out a number first, but he insisted. So I said that based on the average salary for the position, my previous experience, etc., I'm asking for $35,000 per year. It was $5,000 more than they offer most new hires. However, I had four years of experience already, and that meant zero training time and zero risk — they already knew I was a good fit and a great employee. Looking back on it, I should have asked for more.
But it wouldn't have changed the outcome. My supporting evidence fell on deaf ears. I got what any new hire would get.
I'm not saying I did everything right during my "negotiation." I'm sure there was a lot I could've done better. But I also believe 100 percent that in this particular situation, he had a set figure and that was going to be that.
Do women really negotiate less?
Despite popular thought, it turns out that women are asking. A study that came out late last year found no significant difference between men and women when it comes to negotiating for a higher level position or greater compensation during the hiring process.
The Catalyst's report, The Myth of the Ideal Worker: Does Doing All the Right Things Really Get Women Ahead? shows some interesting findings:
47 percent of women and 52 percent of men said that they countered by asking for a higher salary.
14 percent of women and 15 percent of men reported that they countered by asking for a higher-level position.
The study did find that there was a big gender difference depending on how many post-MBA jobs someone has: A full 50 percent of men countered their first post-MBA offer by asking for a higher salary, compared to only 31 percent of women.
But after that first post-MBA job, women start negotiating just as frequently as men. Among men and women who had moved on from their first job, 63 percent of women negotiated for increased compensation, compared to 54 percent of men.
So, women are asking. But according to other research, that could hurt them too.
It can hurt to ask
If a woman negotiates her starting salary, the employer might hold it against her. According to a 2006 study, when a woman negotiates her salary, both men and women are less likely to want to work with or hire her. The negative effect was more than 5.5 times greater for women who negotiated than for men.
If all of this research is correct, it's a Catch-22. If you don't negotiate, you're penalized with a smaller salary. If you do negotiate, you're less likely to be hired or your boss won't want to work with you as much (which can affect future raises).
Women have to seek recognition more than men do
I can't end on a damned-if-you-do note, so let's talk about the best course of action. First, I'd never tell someone not to negotiate their salary, male or female. I think we all can agree about that.
Second, for women, the Catalyst study found that career advancement strategies that work for men don't necessarily work for women. The most powerful strategies for women are making achievements known and gaining access to powerful others.
Making achievements known means:
Ensuring your manager is aware of your accomplishments.
Seeking credit for work done.
Requesting additional performance feedback.
Asking to be considered for a promotion when you feel it's deserved.
Gaining access to powerful others means:
Identifying the most influential people in the company.
Seeking introductions to people in the company who can influence your career.
Building a network of contacts with important people in the company.
Learning how things "really work" inside the company.
Pushing to be involved with high-profile projects.
It's worth noting that only "making achievements known" was shown to affect compensation growth. In addition, the study found that changing jobs can negatively impact women's compensation growth, whereas with men, it positively affects compensation growth.
A final word from the researchers
While it's helpful to talk about how women can use this research to help advance their careers, researchers Nancy M. Carter and Christine Silva bring up some very important questions. "Why don't men have to do the same?" they ask. "Are men being rewarded without even having to ask? Do women have to raise their hands and seek recognition to an even greater extent than men do to receive the same outcomes?"
I'll leave those questions to you guys. Tell me what you think in the comments…

DiskInternals CD & DVD Recovery
I just wanted to say THANK-YOU SO MUCH for creating this program. I had accidentally erased my back-up rw-cd and did not have copies on my hard drive. I had lost over a year worth of work for many clients. But your program brought everything back. I'm so grateful. Now I don't have to re-draw everything! But I've learned my lesson. Now I will keep multiple backups and a complete set of hard copies. I'm going to tell everyone I know about your progran & website. Thanks again! A client recently encountered a failing fixed disk on a Win 98 machine. He quickly "burned" six years of legal documents to a CD using Nero. The following day he "burned" his son's schoolwork folder to the same CD. Later that day the fixed disk failed completely. I installed a new drive, reinstalled Win 98 and returned the machine. Later that day the client called, extremely upset. It seems that the only content of the CD was his son's schoolwork folder. All of his six years of legal documents were gone, both from the double-burned CD and from the failed fixed disk. After a Google search, I downloaded and installed a program, "CD&DVD Recovery" from DiskInternals Research (WWW.DISKINTERNALS.COM). The free downloaded program recovered 40 of the legal documents, all files 64K or smaller. It then informed me that it could recover the remaining files, all files larger than 64K, if I would just pay for it. I did, $ 29.95. The program recovered all the legal documents from the double-burned CD in less than two minutes. Jon Griebel Today's Featured Offer

"Beautiful view"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 23, 2012
Apartments offer stunning views over Malia Bay. Owner of property was very attentive to ensure my family had an enjoyable vacation. Highly recommend this property.
"Comfortable, clean, good value when discounted"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jun 30, 2012
Fine location for a night's stay before/after a flight. About 30 minutes by car from the Iraklion (Heraklion) airport, but better value than most other hotels that are closer to the airport. Clean, comfortable rooms (though note that air conditioning may cost extra; for us it was 5 euros). Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Free wi-fi was very, very slow and didn't well work in our room, so we had to go to the pool or the reception to use it dependably. The village just a few minutes walk west of the hotel has many charming restaurants and shops, with a vastly more relaxed and attractive atmosphere than the beach area.
"right on the beach!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 31, 2012
We spent three nights at Knossos Beach, and we had a nice balcony with sea view from our room. There is a bus stop close by, which makes it easy to go to Iraklio. Also a small car rental place just across the street, very reasonably priced. Only issue: there were not too many restaurants within walking distance 0 this may be because we were there early in the season (May), during the peak season, many more places should be open.

"Glaxy Villas"Reviewed by Jennifer F of "Fairfax, VA" on Oct 12, 2010
Very spacious unit with a full kitchen and utensils. Also, view of the sea and within short walking distance to a lot of restaurants, markets and shops. Very friednly and helpful staff with insider local tips on places to visit and see!
"Best service ever"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jul 24, 2010
You really feel like family with this hotel. Panos, the manager, welcomes you and does everything possible to make you enjoy your stay. He even walked us to the bus station the next morning for our flights home. Very clean hotel, visually appealing, and super friendly staff.
"Wonderful Time"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jul 18, 2010
This hotel was great. The people were especially friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed our stay completely. It was close to the main road (within 10 minutes) and allowed us to get to anywhere we wanted within a short timeframe. The hotel was clean, food was of high quality and always seemed and tasted fresh. The facilities were maintained properly and were in good condition. We would definately stay here again!
"Relaxing, close to beautiful village"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jul 8, 2010
The Korifi Suites was wonderful. It was quiet, outside of the large cities and noise. It is conveniently located near a small village with plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops. The beach is in walking distance (an uphill climb to get back though), as is the bus stop to travel around the rest of the island. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The pool was beautiful and practically empty so my husband and I enjoyed sunbathing and swimming daily without lots of other people. The owner was very helpful and kind. He even called the taxi driver on our way to the port to speak to us and tell us good-bye since we had left before he could speak with us!
"Good value for money"Reviewed by N Killeen of "Dublin" on Sep 20, 2009
Receptionists were very helpful and pleasant as was the night porter who greeted us on our arrival at 1.00 in the morning. Restaurant staff were very cheerful and pleasant also. Our room was bright, clean and overlooked the pool. The food was varied and plentiful but I would advise going in to dinner nearer the starting time than later on. All in all it was a very pleasant experience. We were the only Irish guests the others were German, Dutch and Polish with some English.
"A fantastic Crete hotel!"Reviewed by Bruce F of "Littleton" on Jul 17, 2009
The Amazones Village Suites is the place to stay in Chersonissos. It's within a short walk of three charming villages with plenty of dining and shopping, as well as to equipment and car rentals. The views from Amazones are killer! We had a sea view suite, but didn't need it since the view from the pool/bar area is just as good. The pool/bar area is a great place to spend a lot of time if you want to be lazy for a day or two. The rooms were very nice, roomy, and clean. Some items were in need of minor repair, but nothing serious. The best part of Amazones, however, is the staff. Very friendly, very professional, very helpful. We had the same staff every day of our six-day stay, so we got to know them quite well. They made our stay very enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel. If I ever get to Crete again, it is where I will stay.

j2's Ziff Davis Buys News Corp's IGN
Deal more than doubles recently-formed digital media division of j2.
j2 Global continues to build out its digital media portfolio with the acquisition of popular gamer lifestyle brand IGN Entertainment, a News Corp property.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Reports indicate the amount will be "considerably" lower than the $650 million News Corp paid for the network in 2005 however. Multiple outlets put the figure at less than $100 million--a "rock bottom" price in a "soft [and] limited prospective buyer universe," a source with direct knowledge of the market tells Folio:.
NewsCorp had reportedly been seeking $100 million for the property as of October.
IGN--publisher of digital properties IGN.com, UGO.com, 1UP.com and AskMen.com--will officially fall under the purview of Ziff Davis, Inc.
"This is Ziff Davis' sixth acquisition in under three years and a transformative one," Vivek Shah, Ziff Davis CEO, tells Folio: in an email. "We continue to believe the tech and gaming vertical is one of the most attractive in digital media. The combined reach and scale of the companies places us in the upper echelon of digital media companies."
He declined comment on potential effects the acquisition could have on IGN staff or operations.
ZD, which publishes several consumer titles in the gaming space, including PCMag.com and Geek.com, was purchased by j2 in November for $167 million. The two companies are at the heart of a new digital media division of j2 formed after the ZD purchase.
j2 had been exclusively involved in business cloud services prior to the ZD deal.
Hemi Zucker, CEO of j2, echoed Shah's thoughts in a release: "This is a transformative deal for our digital media business. By combining two of the most storied organizations in tech, gaming and entertainment, we have created a very powerful company capable of producing and delivering content in all forms to an audience that marketers highly value."
With 600-plus advertisers and 53 million unique monthly visitors, primarily males ages 18-34, the deal more than doubles the size of j2's digital media division.
The possibility of a $550 million loss is comparable in number to the $545 million hit News Corp suffered on the sale of social networking site MySpace two years ago. While it pursued the MySpace sale in May of 2011, News Corp also was attempting to turn IGN into a self-sustaining entity focused on the core gamer lifestyle market. Plans for the spinoff had fallen through by August however. AllThingsD had reported News Corp expected annual revenues of $100 million at the time.
j2 announces its Q4 and year-end earnings Feb. 13. News Corp releases its Q2 FY13 report Wednesday.
