Factors determining absorption regions
The factors that determine the spectral region in which an electronic transition lies (i.e., the colour of the material) will be the energy separation between the MOs and the allowed quantum mechanical selection rules. There are certain types of molecular structures that characteristically exhibit absorptions in the visible region and others that are ultraviolet absorbers. A large class of organic compounds, to which the majority of the dyes and inks belong, are those that contain substituted aromatic rings and conjugate multiple bonds. For example, the broad 254-nanometre transition in benzene (C6H6) can be shifted by the substitution of various organic groups for one or more of the hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon ring. The substitution of a nitroso group (NO) to give nitrosobenzene, C6H5NO, modifies the energy level spacings and shifts the absorption from the ultraviolet into the violet-blue region, yielding a compound that is pale yellow to the eye. Such shifts in spectral absorptions with substitution can be used to aid in characterizing the electron distributions in the bonds of a molecule.
A second class of highly coloured compounds that have distinctive visible absorption are coordination compounds of the transition elements . The MOs involved in the spectral transitions for these compounds are essentially unmodified (except in energy) d-level atomic orbitals on the transition-metal atoms. An example of such a compound is the titanium (III) hydrated ion, Ti(H2O)63+, which absorbs at about 530 nanometres and appears purple to the eye.
A large number of compounds are white solids or colourless liquids and have electronic absorption spectra only in the ultraviolet region. Inorganic salts of this type are those that contain nontransition metals and do not have any atomic d-electrons available. Covalently bonded molecules consisting of nonmetal atoms and carbon compounds with no aromatic rings or conjugated chains have all their inner orbitals fully occupied with electrons, and for the majority of them the first unoccupied MOs tend to lie at considerably higher energies than in visibly coloured compounds. Examples are sodium chloride (NaCl), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), ethanol C2H5OH, and hydrocarbons (CnHm, where n and m are integers).
Low-resolution electronic spectra are useful as an aid in the qualitative and quantitative identification of compounds. They can serve as a fingerprint for a particular species in much the same manner as infrared spectra. Particular functional groups or molecular configurations (known as chromophores) tend to have strong absorptions that occur in certain regions of the visible-ultraviolet region. The precise frequency at which a particular chromophore absorbs depends significantly on the other constituents of the molecule, in general the frequency range over which its absorption is found will not be as narrow as the range of the infrared vibrational frequency associated with a specific structural entity. A strong electronic absorption band, especially in the visible region, can be used to make quantitative measurements of the concentration of the absorbing species.
Both rotational and vibrational energies superimpose on an electronic state. This results in a very dense spectrum. The analysis of spectra of this type can provide rotational constants and vibrational frequencies for molecules not only in the ground state but also in excited states. Although the resolution is not as high as for pure rotational and vibrational spectra, it is possible to examine electronic and vibrational states whose populations are too low to be observed by these methods. Improvements in resolution of electronic spectra can be achieved by the use of laser sources (see below Laser spectroscopy).
Fluorescence and phosphorescence
These phenomena are closely related to electronic absorption spectra and can be used as a tool for analysis and structure determination. Both involve the absorption of radiation via an electronic transition, a loss of energy through either vibrational energy decay or nonradiative processes, and the subsequent emission of radiation of a lower frequency than that absorbed.
Electrons possess intrinsic magnetic moments that are related to their spin angular momenta. The spin quantum number is s = 1/2, so in the presence of a magnetic field an electron can have one of two orientations corresponding to magnetic spin quantum number ms = ±1/2. The Pauli exclusion principle requires that no two electrons in an atom have the same identical set of quantum numbers; hence when two electrons reside in a single AO or MO they must have different ms values (i.e., they are antiparallel, or spin paired). This results in a cancellation of their magnetic moments, producing a so-called singlet state. Nearly all molecules that contain an even number of electrons have singlet ground states and have no net magnetic moment (such species are called diamagnetic). When an electron absorbs energy and is excited to a higher energy level, there exists the possibility of (1) retaining its antiparallel configuration relative to the other electron in the orbital from which it was promoted so that the molecule retains its singlet characteristic, or (2) changing to a configuration in which its magnetic moment is parallel to that of its original paired electron. In the latter case, the molecule will possess a net magnetic moment (becoming paramagnetic) and is said to be in a triplet state. For each excited electronic state, either electron spin configuration is possible so that there will be two sets of energy levels (see Figure 9). The normal selection rules forbid transitions between singlet (Si) and triplet (Ti) states; hence there will be two sets of electronic transitions, each associated with one of the two sets of energy levels.

Cantina Gabriele Chianti (Kosher) 2011
Cantina Gabriele - Tuscany - Italy - Chianti
The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
The name of this grape, meaning 'blood of Jove' conjures up evocative images of long dead civilizations, and gives the Sangiovese varietal a sense of the holy, the sacred, the special. Indeed, this particular type of Italian grape has been cultivated and processed for thousands of years, and is said to be the original favorite grape varietal of the Romans, and the Etruscans before them. Throughout history, vintners have continued to plant this varietal, and they continue to produce wonderful wines to this day. The long bunches of very dark, round fruit are treasured by fine wineries in Italy and a few other places around the world, and when young, these grapes are lively full of strawberry flavors and a little spiciness. However, it is when they are aged in oak that they take on some truly special flavors and aromas, as seen in some of the finest wines of the Old World.
Tuscany has been producing fine wines for almost three thousand years, and as such is widely recognized as being one of the key Old World wine regions which have shaped the way we understand and enjoy quality wines throughout history. Interestingly, the region is typified by a unique soil type which is not particularly good for growing grapevines, but in Tuscany, the emphasis has always been on quality over quantity, and low yields with high levels of flavor and intensity are preferred, and have become a feature of the region's wine industry. The main grape varietals grown in Tuscany are Sangiovese for the distinctive, flavorful and complex red wines, and Vernaccia for the exquisite dry white wines, although the last couple of decades have seen more varietals grown and an increasing trend towards 'Bordeaux style' wines.
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' the land of wines so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Economic forecast study delivered for Uptowne
Supporters of the proposed revitalization of Uptowne High Point have what they hope will be new ammunition in making their case.
Joe Minicozzi of the Asheville consulting firm Urban3 recently delivered his study on the economic potential of the Uptowne corridor if it is built out as proposed in the Ignite High Point master plan.
The report projects that completing the plan would generate an additional $2.3 million in property tax revenue for the city over 15 years.
"Returning residents, businesses and services to the urban area is crucial to the reawakening of High Point," the report states. "High Point is not without bountiful redevelopment opportunities. The city, with a median household income greater than Greensboro and nearby High Point University, has enormous potential to retain and cultivate retail spending and entrepreneurship within city limits."
Urban3 was contracted by The City Project to perform the study.
The study utilized real estate market trends and case studies involving other cities in providing its forecast for Uptowne.
"In other words, if a Road Diet is enacted and the proposed developments are completed, how much municipal tax revenue can High Point realistically expect to receive?" the report stated.
The report cites three case studies — East Boulevard in Charlotte, where a street diet was implemented in 2005, Haywood Road in Asheville and Greensboro's Southside neighborhood — in making comparisons to Uptowne.
Property values have risen in all three areas in recent years, and the report argues that Uptowne offers similar potential.
"The area is well connected to High Point University and the city center, and strategically located to High Point Regional Hospital," the report states. "Between HPU and the hospital, there are over 2,900 workers within a mile of Uptowne's epicenter, not to mention over 4,000 HPU students. Further, area households spend a cumulative $34.6 million on retail products and services."

Professor pioneered emoticons to distinguish sarcasm
Why say it with flowers, if smiley face will do?
WATERBURY — Sarah Sherman of Wolcott cradled her iPhone and tapped the tips of her thumbs onto the touch screen keyboard with such speed and intensity that she managed to type a 10-word sentence to her friend in less than 25 seconds.
"I'm certainly not the fastest texter I know," Sherman said. But she is sure to make sure her recipients get the full message. Sherman, 20, an English major at UConn Waterbury, typically will add a heart or a smiley face, known as emoticons, from a list that appears with the touch of a button on her phone.

Would like to know what the Bourbon Sauce recipe is... ...
Try it, you'll love it ...
I follow the recipe exactly. Problem is, I don't know where to buy old French bread. Wal-mart only sells fresh, and it goes quick. I waited until the next day before I made it.
Crud - I am out of Bourbon. Ok, so I don't follow the recipe exactly, I had Brandy on hand. I made it just like the recipe said. Leave it out for 2 hours stirring every 30 minutes or so until time to bake. Soon as it goes in the oven, I am starting on the Spiced Cream sauce.
I take the bread pudding slice in my bowl, pour a little cream over the pudding, it doesn't taste like anything special. Then I remembered, Powdered Sugar. I sprinkle some over the pudding, and BAM this is the taste I remember from over 10 years ago. 4 of us ordered 1 bread pudding and it was gone in 60 seconds - the chef was so impressed by the speed of our devouring he gave us a second one for free.
I wondered - why does the recipe call for me to make so much spiced cream? Then I remembered 1 key ingredient. I thought it was swimming in melted ice cream. Pour it over the bread pudding so it looks like a soup. Otherwise it's cake with a little frosting and sugar.
This was a GREAT dessert. ...
While this bread pudding is very different from the bread pudding I had at Red Fish, it's definitely wonderful. It's kind of like really amazing cinnamon-raisin french toast.
Anyway, I will continue on my quest to find a recipe similar to the one at Red Fish, but I will keep this one in mind for the next time I need a dish for Sunday brunch. If anyone has any suggestions on other recipes to try, let me know! Thanks!
**Suzanne in Talladega, you're rightfully confused by the recipe. The Food Network People somehow left of the recipe for the Bourbon Sauce. You can find the complete recipe on Emeril's website: http://www.emerils.com/recipe/4491/Classic-New-Orleans-Bread-Pudding-with-a-Bourbon-Sauce. Hope this helps!** ...
????? What did I miss? ...
Thank you! your flag was submitted.

I think I was going to add something in my comment involving your post, and either got distracted or the computer stolen from me. LOL.

Supporters of affordable housing are demanding a change in a city zoning regulation.
At a rally on the steps of City Hall Wednesday, a coalition called for the city's Inclusionary Zoning Policy to change from voluntary to mandatory.
The policy would require all large- and medium-sized developments to set aside permanent affordable housing units that would not expire or transition to market-rate housing.
Supporters of mandatory inclusionary zoning feel that under Mayor Bill de Blasio, they'll see the changes they want.
"We have an administration that I think believes in these policies in a way that we haven't seen in the past 12 to 20 years, so I'm excited about it," said City Councilman Jumaane Williams of Brooklyn.
"It's just haunting to think that over the last 10 to 15 years, affordability has really not been the first priority for our past administration," said Jonathan Gardenhire of the Smith Houses Resident Association.
A Neighborhood and Housing Development report estimates that the proposed policy could create 4,000 affordable units per year instead of the 400 created by the current plan.

Cisco Technology Helps Duke MBA Program 'Cross Continents'
Posted by: Louis Lavelle on December 20, 2010
It used to be that when you signed up for an MBA program, what you got—the professors, fellow students—was what you got. This is particularly true for many part-time MBA programs which, unlike full-time programs that offer international trips and such, for the most part have a more difficult time connecting students with the global community. Well, not any more, at least if you attend the Cross-Continent MBA Program at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business (Fuqua Full-Time MBA Profile).
The program is incorporating technology from Cisco, called Cisco Quad, that allows students and faculty to create virtual working groups with students in the U.S., England, Dubai, India, Russia, and China. Using the technology, students can share ideas and content, collaborate on projects, and interact using chat, voice, or video.
In a press release, Fuqua Dean Blair Sheppard said technologies like Cisco Quad are essential in an era of globalization. "As Fuqua develops into the first globally distributed business school, technologies like Cisco Quad allow us to create a sense of community and collaborative interaction necessary to prepare our students to excel in a globally connected world."
Judging from a "case study" about Duke's use of the new technology posted on the Cisco web site, Duke is clearly trying to teach the tech-savvy millennial generation on its own terms. It's also attempting to take advantage of the business knowledge students have when they enter the program, transforming it into a powerful learning tool in its own right. It's an interesting idea, one that a lot of part-time (and full-time and EMBA) programs can probably benefit from. What's everybody think?

Oclaro Sells Zurich Gallium Arsenide Laser Diode Business To II-VI Incorporated For $115 Million
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Oclaro, Inc. (NASDAQ: OCLR), a leading provider and innovator of optical communications solutions, today announced that it has sold its Oclaro Switzerland GmbH subsidiary and associated laser diodes business to II-VI Incorporated (NASDAQ:IIVI) in a transaction valued at $115 million. In addition, II-VI acquired an exclusive option to purchase Oclaro's optical amplifier and micro-optics business for $88 million in cash.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130129/SF49903LOGO)
"The sale of our Gallium Arsenide laser diode business is an important first step in our plan to restructure the company," said Greg Dougherty, CEO, Oclaro. "The Zurich-based business, including the team and its rich legacy, is a valuable asset and we wish II-VI and the team much future success. We will use the proceeds from the sale to fully repay our bridge financing and to begin restructuring the company for the future. We intend to further simplify our operating footprint, reduce our cost structure and focus our R&D investment in the optical communications market where we can leverage our core competencies."
Transaction TermsOf the total transaction value of $115 million, Oclaro received $92 million in cash today. Oclaro will retain the existing accounts receivable of the business, estimated at approximately $15 million. The remaining $8 million is being held by II-VI subject to traditional post-closing conditions. As part of the agreement, II-VI has purchased the Oclaro Zurich, Switzerland company, which includes its GaAs fabrication facility, and also the corresponding high power laser diodes, VCSEL and 980nm pump laser product lines, including intellectual property, inventory, equipment and a related R&D facility in Tucson all of which are associated with these businesses ("the Zurich business"). Revenues for the Zurich business were approximately $87 million for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2013. Oclaro will continue the back-end manufacturing of the 980nm pump and some high power laser diode products at its Shenzhen, China manufacturing facility and supply them to II-VI under a manufacturing services agreement. The employees of Shenzhen, China will continue to be employed by Oclaro. In addition, various supply and transition service agreements have been established between the companies to ensure a smooth transition. The option to purchase Oclaro's optical amplifier and micro-optics business, for which II-VI separately paid $5 million in cash, will expire if not exercised within 30 days. If this option is exercised and II-VI purchases the amplifier and micro-optics business, the option price will be applied to the purchase price. If II-VI does not exercise this option, the $5 million payment will be retained by Oclaro. Total proceeds received by Oclaro today were $97 million. Foros and Imperial Capital acted as financial advisors to Oclaro.

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Paul Pierce had nine of his season-best 39 points in overtime, as Boston beat Toronto, 115-109, sweeping the season series against the Raptors for the first time since the 1997-98 season.
Pierce, who went 13-of-26 from the field, also had nine rebounds, as the Celtics won back-to-back contests after a season-high four-game skid. Kevin Garnett tallied 20 points and 12 rebounds.
"You all need to start playing some of that superman theme music in the building when he's going like that," said Garnett of Pierce during the postgame news conference. "This is Clark Kent right here ladies and gentleman.
"I'll be Batman, I'll be Robin, I'll be anybody you want me to be. I'll be the garbage man. But this is Clark Kent right here."
Andrea Bargnani had 23 points and eight boards for the Raptors, who were 94-88 home losers to the Celtics on Sunday. Chris Bosh ended with 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Roko Ukic scored 16 as the Raptors faltered again after coming into the home-and-home set having won four of five games.
The Raptors forced overtime thanks to a clutch shot by Bargnani, as he drained a three-pointer with one second left from the left side. Rajon Rondo's tip try for Boston was off the mark at the end of regulation, with the game remaining even at 93-93.
Pierce banged in a three to start the OT, and after Anthony Parker drained a jumper Pierce hit another shot and Rondo's bucket made it 100-95.
"We started off with two costly turnovers, and you can't do that against a team like Boston," said Parker. "But we were being aggressive, trying to do some things that didn't work out. I think we stopped them a couple of times in a row too. They made some big shots, some contested shots, and that was the main difference."
Ukic's layup had the visitors within 100-97, but Ray Allen nailed a three- pointer with just over two minutes remaining, and Toronto didn't get closer than four the rest of the way.
The Raptors were within 113-109 after Parker's long three-pointer, and they stole the inbounds pass, but Jason Kapono missed a shot from behind the arc in the waning seconds.
"Actually, I feel pretty good, could have played another quarter, I think. I'm feeling pretty good," said Pierce.
Toronto led 23-19 after one quarter and stretched that to 54-45 at the half before Boston rallied in the latter stages of the third quarter, getting within 71-69 on a Pierce spin move to the basket. The Raptors led 78-74 heading to the fourth quarter.

Expand Dong is a photoshopped reaction image featuring the face of the Nintendo character Donkey Kong with perverted captions below it. While the image and similar parodies were already shared on the online imageboard 4chan at the beginning of 2013, they managed to inspire an even larger series of similar parodies featuring several other video game characters on the microblogging website Tumblr later that year. The images commonly follow the style of Tony Kornheiser's "Why" reaction face.
The original photoshopped parody of the Donkey Kong 64[4] box art was seen as early as October 8th, 2012 in a thread on 4chan's /v/ (Video Games)[1] board. The image shows a digitally composited caption that consists of the words "Expand" and "Dong" cut out from the box art for the 1999 Nintendo 64 platformer game Donkey Kong 64.
On March 14th, 2013, Tumblr[6] user heatcrashemboar posted the "expand dong" image. On April 21st, the same image was posted in a comment on the Internet humor site Funnyjunk.[2] On June 12th, Tumblr[8] user goubatsu posted a two-pane image macro featuring Donkey Kong accompanied by the caption "No / This does not expand dong" (shown below).
On June 27th, YouTuber Dexter Dee uploaded a video titled "Expand Dong," featuring a clip of Donkey Kong singing a song in Season 1 Episode 4 of the French computer animated television show Donkey Kong Country (shown below).
On July 22nd and 23rd, Tumblr[9][10] user foalonthehill posted two video game box arts featuring the Donkey Kong character Dixie Kong and the Super Mario character Luigi in a similar style to the original expand dong image (shown below). In the first five months, both posts received over 1,400 notes.
On July 30th, the Tumblr[5] blog "Tumbl Trends" highlighted several notable expand dong examples. On October 1st, IGN Forums[7] user pizzachu1 posted a thread titled "Expand Dong," which contained the original Donkey Kong image macro.

A 5-year-old girl was in serious condition Saturday after being raped and tortured by a man who held her in a locked room in India's capital for two days, officials said.
The girl went missing Monday and was found Wednesday by neighbors who heard her crying in a room in the same New Delhi building where she lives with her parents, said Delhi police official Deepak Mishra. The girl was found alone locked in a room and left for dead, he said.

A big first for Danica Patrick, but an even bigger second for Jimmie Johnson.
Patrick made history out front at the Daytona 500, only to see five-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson reclaim his spot at the top in the end.
Johnson won his second Daytona 500 with a late push on Sunday, grabbing the spotlight from Patrick as she faded on the final lap. Patrick became the first woman in history to lead laps in "The Great American Race" and was running third on the last lap, but slipped to eighth in the late push for position.
When a private firm failed to meet its promise of providing enough guards for the Olympics, the British military was called in to "mind the gap" in security.
But even though the government is bringing in those troops — as well as RAF Typhoon combat jets, surface-to-air missiles on rooftops, and an aircraft carrier on the River Thames — organizers say it will still look like the Summer Games, and not war games.
South Korea conducted live-fire military drills near its disputed sea boundary with North Korea Monday, despite Pyongyang's threat to respond with a "merciless" attack.
North Korea did not carry out the threat as it focuses on internal stability two months after the death of longtime leader Kim Jong Il and prepares for nuclear disarmament talks with the United States later this week. But with American forces scheduled to conduct additional military exercises with ally South Korea over the next few months, tensions are expected to remain high in the region.

Saudi Arabia said Monday that it will enforce a law that allows only females to work in women's lingerie and apparel stores, despite disapproval from the country's top cleric.
The 2006 law banning men from working in female apparel and cosmetic stores has never been put into effect, partly because of the views of hard-liners in the religious establishment, who oppose the whole idea of women working in places where men and women congregate, such as malls.
Brazil had record trade figures in 2011, logging $256 billion in exports and maintaining a $29.7 billion surplus on the back of high commodity prices and strong Chinese demand, officials said Monday.
Exports to China hit $44.3 billion, an increase of more than 43 percent over 2010. In 2009 China surpassed the U.S. as Brazil's biggest trading partner.
"It was an exceptional year for Brazilian foreign trade," said Alessandro Teixeira, deputy trade minister, who said China represented 17 percent of Brazil's exports.
After hitting a 30-year low in 2009, U.S. auto sales are poised for a second straight year of growth in 2012 — the result of easier credit, low interest rates and pent-up demand for cars and trucks created by the Great Recession.
The sales forecast bodes well for the industry's continued recovery and for the broader American economy.
Just two years ago, Detroit automakers were in peril. Car sales plunged as unemployment soared, and loans became harder to get. Chrysler and General Motors filed for bankruptcy protection. Ford avoided bankruptcy only by borrowing billions.
Iran's navy said it test-fired a surface-to-surface cruise missile on Monday during a drill in international waters near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, the official IRNA news agency reported.
The missile, called Ghader, or Capable in Farsi, was described as an upgraded version of a missile that has been in service before. IRNA said the missile "successfully hit its intended target" during the drill.
For decades, the city of El Paso, in far West Texas, defied the look of most desert communities, with neighborhoods boasting lush, green lawns and residents freely running their sprinklers.
Then a study came out in 1979 that showed just how close El Paso was to a crisis: At its rate of water use, the city would run dry within 36 years.
It took a U.S.-led invasion force of more than 200,000 troops nine months to scour Iraq's nearly 170,000 square miles before they captured Saddam Hussein, in one of the largest manhunts ever.
Now, Moammar Gadhafi is on the run in Libya — but chasing after him is a much smaller and less well-equipped force of Libyan rebels. They're trying to track down a fugitive who, like Saddam, is well-armed, well-funded and capable of winning popular support and sowing instability simply by evading his pursuers.
NCAA President Mark Emmert says he's willing to back up his tough talk on punishing rule-breakers — even using the "death penalty" as a deterrent.
With salacious allegations swirling around Miami's football program, and one week after Emmert joined with university presidents to discuss toughening sanctions against cheating schools, the NCAA's leader said he believed the infractions committee should make the harshest penalty an option.
More than 300,000 children in the Horn of Africa are severely malnourished "and in imminent risk of dying" because of drought and famine, the head of the U.N. children's agency said Friday.
The United Nations says that tens of thousands of people have died in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti — and the organization warns that the famine hasn't peaked. More than 12 million people in the region need food aid, according to the U.N.
"The crisis in the Horn of Africa is a human disaster becoming a human catastrophe," UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake told reporters.
Libyan rebels say a close Moammar Gadhafi associate who was once the No. 2 top regime official has defected in another blow to the increasingly isolated Libyan leader.
Abdel Salam Jalloud helped Gadhafi stage the 1969 coup that propelled him to power and transformed Libya from a monarchy to a republic. He was Gadhafi's most trusted deputy for two decades but began to clash with the leader starting in the 1990s.

Reinvent Your Holiday Meals Without Firing The Turkey
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The traditional Thanksgiving turkey and holiday ham are driving home cooks across America to culinary boredom. And while there may be little room to experiment with tradition, there are plenty of other opportunities during the holidays to shake up the flavor, such as the pick-me-up Christmas Eve cocktail or the Black Friday breakfast.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121109/AQ07248)
Spice Islands® partnered with Gaby Dalkin of What's Gaby Cooking and Lindsay and Taylor Landis of Love and Olive Oil to share great food served throughout the holiday season, expanding beyond the Thanksgiving and Christmas meals.
"I think like most people I'm not just entertaining on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, but am making meals for my family on the days surrounding the holidays," Dalkin said. "These are times when I feel like I can stray from the ordinary holiday tradition and experiment with my recipes."Dalkin's first tip for wowing guests on what she calls "the off-holiday" meals is to keep unexpected snacks and drinks for holiday drop-ins. "I make a big batch of my Sweet and Spicy Roasted Nuts right before the holidays, so I always have it available," Dalkin said. "This recipe is the perfect combination of sweet and savory flavor with sea salt, cayenne pepper and of course, the warm touch of cinnamon. The flavor catches people off guard in a good way." You can find Gaby's Sweet and Spicy Roasted Nuts recipe here: http://www.spiceislands.com/Recipe/Sweet_and_Spicy_Roasted_Nuts And as with any great snack, it's important to have a great cocktail. To add extra flavor to holiday drinks, Dalkin recommends dropping a half of a Spice Islands® Bourbon Vanilla Bean in a bottle of vodka or bourbon and letting it sit for three days to infuse the flavor. "I do this every holiday because it isn't ordinary, and I hate for anything I serve to be ordinary," Dalkin said. "My favorite drink to make with homemade vanilla bourbon is Bourbon Vanilla Smash. This is vanilla-infused bourbon with lemon, apple cider and Spice Islands® Saigon Cinnamon. "It's the perfect Christmas Eve cocktail," Dalkin said. For Lindsay Landis of Love and Olive Oil, much of the same is true. "I always create interesting drinks for my seasonal entertaining, and this year, I'm making something special for the kids," Landis said.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Nestled comfortably in Saunder's Bay with all the amenities of home this lake front property offers visitors a private location on Pelican Lake. It is centrally located within the best fishing and hunting areas in Northern Minnesota. Resting on over 10,000 acres of lake and 50 Islands makes for some unbeatable fishing.
It's isolated location will give visitors that away from the crowds feel yet with direct access to the activities or interests that makes lake front living so enjoyable. You can water ski here, or if requested, rent one of the available fishing boats and catch walleyes, northern pike, crappies on one of the best fisheries around, most can be caught right off the dock.
Bring your golf clubs and play at some of the area golf courses. Visitors may also use either the paddle boat or canoe to explore the bay or venture out onto greater Pelican Lake.
The cabin features a screened-in veranda that looks out onto the lake providing a comfortable living space to enjoy your meals, play cards or read a book.
Personally, I find the cabin a place where I can kick back and enjoy life's simple pleasures. Where the inherent calming effects of nature can soothe the stresses in our lives and clear the senses. A place to enjoy the company of friends and family.
The Superior National Forest and the Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness Area makes this an excellent home base location for visitors interested in exploring Minnesota's Voyagers Country. The area surrounding the cabin offers an ideal habitat for a variety of birds and animals big and small. Visitors are likely to see Bald Eagles, Ospreys, beavers, otters or hear the wolves.
Visit the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary and get up close to black bears just minutes away or visit The International Wolf Center or The North American Bear Center in Ely, MN.
Amenities include: A queen size bed and two twins in separate bedrooms. A Futon in living room can fold out into a bed and accommodate 2 additional people.
Full kitchen; complete dinner ware and cooking utensils. Appliances include a electric double oven, microwave, coffee maker, Toaster oven, refrigerator and deep freezer chest.
Originally from the North Side of Chicago, I moved to northern California and attended San Francisco State University, where I met my wife of almost thirty years. We live in Sonoma County just north of San Francisco.
My background is in business management, finance and home construction. My interests include the exploring the outdoors, travel, U.S. Foreign Policy and International Trade and development.
I inherited this property as part of a group of adjoining lots that have been in the family for generations. It is where I've shared countless memories over the years enjoying the family, fishing and good times.
It's sitting makes it the most desirable, located in an semi-isolated region of Pelican lake, the bay is rarely explored by others and imparts the feeling of owning part or your own private lake.
Living and working in large urban areas can run you down physically, mentally and perhaps more importantly spiritually but this location always provides the remedy and refuge. I can recharge my batteries and relieve the stresses of a fast paced world. The sights and sounds of wildlife, the smell of fresh air and the texture of the surrounding wilderness can be intoxicating. It's because of these environments that someone can find the perfect place for relaxation and peace of mind.

So the boss says "When a call light goes off, consider that an error" - page 4
So the hospital where I work is infatuated with customer service and improving survey scores. However, they still love to give us 6 and 7 pts each on a busy really BUSY med/surg/tele floor. With only one tech for the whole... Read More
- 2Apr 7, '13 by jadelpn GuideIt will be all well and good until the surverys come back that:
Things were NOT quiet, due to a nurse and/or CNA hovering and asking is I needed anything every 5 minutes. And they were staring at me while I slept right outside my door. And they kept asking my visitors to leave so they could assess me over and over again. It was annoying, unprofessional and rude. I had a call bell and was educated on how to use it. I was constipated due to the fact that I can not have bathroom privacy while the nurse sits and watches me. My family was upset thinking that I was far worse off than I was because the nurse never left a moment for peace. Ya'll better not be charging me more for such overbearing attention........
The list could go on and on.
And I agree with the pp--take all the call lights out then, and hire enough staff to cover each patient 1:1. (and call it ICU)
- 4Apr 7, '13 by BARNgirlQuote from TheCommuterWith all the Lomotil going around how can one ever anticipate when a PT might actually have the urge to produce a BM...and hit the light for assistance??? Maybe your facility should implement a defecation schedule, for example: PTs whose last names begin with A-D can only bear down from 0700-0915, and so on. Just ask your boss for input on this, as he is probably himself on such self-imposed regimen!No matter how much we anticipate patients' needs, we do not have crystal balls to read their minds. Therefore, call lights will always be needed, and it should NOT be considered an error if a patient calls.
Your boss needs a reality check very soon.
- 1Apr 7, '13 by Teresag_CNSOh, my, the PHARMACY. Yes, we have missing drugs. Yes, we have to look in 5 different places for drugs before we conclude that it hasn't been sent yet. Yes, a nurse is expected to remember where every drug is likely to be found (refrigerator, Pyxis profile, Pyxis override, at the bedside, in the pharmacy bin) and not phone the pharmacy to find out. And no, there is no way to determine where a given drug might be hidden unless you remember it from the last time you gave it (or bother a colleague to ask.)
This is but one broken system that helped me make the decision to leave the hospital. I couldn't take not having a voice in the midst of so many inefficiencies and so much potential for error. And don't even get me started on the electronic record....
The new-found emphasis on patient satisfaction, nurses should know, is because hospitals cannot take part in "value-based purchasing" (meaning cheaper supplies) if their patient satisfaction scores are too low. It is about money, in other words.Last edit by Teresag_CNS on Apr 7, '13 : Reason: left out a word
- 2Apr 7, '13 by eatmysoxRNAbsolutely ridiculous. In my charting I sometimes put "call bell within reach with use encouraged." and I do encourage them to use it. Naturally I ask before I leave if I can get them anything, but needs happen when I'm not there.
~ No One Can Make You Feel Inferior Without Your Consent -Eleanor Roosevelt ~
- 3Apr 7, '13 by Jessy_RNA little off topic, but I wanted to say the mgmt is truly losing it more than ever. The heat is being felt even up the ladder. CMS is here to stay. At one of the facilities I work, mgmt got canned (5 directors to be exact) and they went by what units had the lowest satisfaction scores. The ones that survived were forced to take on an additional unit for no extra pay and double the responsibility.
Some nurses verbalize how they are incurring additional debt to go back to school and move away from bedside. No one is safe these days. So sad.
Nursing is insane
- 1Apr 7, '13 by Jessy_RNSpilled my drink laughing at the pharmacy comment and it's 5 possible places to look before wasting more time calling pharmacy. So true!
Just the other day I was precepting a new nurse and she couldn't find 5 out of the 8 meds due. She was needless to say overwhelmed when I asked if she had looked:
Med pyxis, override pyxis, med fridge, tube station 1 and 2, around the nurses station in case someone emptied the tube, in the pt's med box in their room and every single computer on wheels with drawers in the unit.
Then management wonders why so many meds are late ha! Or my favorite, when you call pharmacy to inquire about a missing dose and they tell you to send a communication down. That will take additional time to be sorted out of the pile and into a productive person's hands. Still management cannot and will not understand. It's all your fault
- 2Apr 8, '13 by vintagePNWhen I hear about customer service scores and scripted greetings I am so glad I live I. Canada. We don't have to deal with that here...at least where I am. if my manager handed me a script to say to my patient I would laugh so hard. Gotta love that pt care is #1!!!
- 0Apr 8, '13 by CodeteamBQuote from vintageandreaShhhhhh! Don't give them any ideas! But for real, I'm with you, long live publicly funded health care!When I hear about customer service scores and scripted greetings I am so glad I live I. Canada. We don't have to deal with that here...at least where I am. if my manager handed me a script to say to my patient I would laugh so hard. Gotta love that pt care is #1!!!
- 1Apr 8, '13 by ClementiaA ringing call light is an error? Your manager is totally out of touch with hospital reality.

Gear Review
A pretty typical wool coat.
Member since
Great jacket. Very warm and easy to layer underneath. No pockets on the inside. The outside just looks like a typical wool jacket that one would buy at Macy's or kohls. It's not very distinctive. I think it was a little over priced but it does its job well.

Robot rat wages psychological warfare on real rats in experiment
Forever downtrodden, lab rats are the unsung heroes of human progress, as psychologists and biologists put the little critters through all manner of hell in the name of science. But this latest battery of tests plunge the animals into the realm of sci-fi horror by introducing a group of rats to a robotic rat designed to test their responses to stressful situations.
Conducted at Japan's Waseda University in the Takanishi Lab, the experiment, called the Mental Modeling of Creature, puts rats in various stressful situations with the WR-4 robot rat in order to gain some insight into how humans might one day react in stressful situations with humanoid robots once they become an everyday part of society. In one experiment a rat is gradually forced to rely on calling the robot to get its food, in another the rat learned to push the robot's levers for food, and in yet another experiment captured on video the rat appears to hide from the robot as it whirls around making odd motions.
The researchers also put one rat in a situation in which it was regularly attacked by the robot (not violently, only with aggressive movements), an experiment designed to see how the rat would respond after repeated attacks over time.
Although the experiment can hardly be expected to offer deep insights into the reactions humans might have in similar, hellish situations with robots, it nevertheless offers an interesting look at how some living things interact with robots in pressure situations. You can see video of the experiment here.

Attention, party animals! Sweden's Miike Snow will break it down at Ultra Music Festival and you don't wanna be caught slippin'.
Of course, Miike Snow is not a man. It's a group of electro-pop producers —Christian Karlsson, Pontus Winnberg, and Andrew Wyatt — that has created some of the biggest dance-floor jams of the past few years. The trio's hit "Animal" was completely unavoidable in 2009, and it still gets dropped pretty heavily, especially Fake Blood's totally banging remix.
But here's something you probably didn't know: The Miike Snow bros won a Grammy for their work on Britney Spears's "Toxic," which finally explains that particular guilty pleasure. And another factoid: The group's set at Ultra comes just before the release of its highly anticipated second album, Happy to You, whose lead singles "Devil's Work" and "Paddling Out" have already received a lot of blog buzz. Judging by the sound of those two releases, we think it's fair to say the new album will be just as delightfully catchy as the first, with the same tinge of darkness fans have come to love on songs such as "Silvia."
301 Biscayne Blvd.
Miami, FL 33132
Category: Parks and Outdoors
Region: Downtown/Overtown
Basically, Miike Snow is the best blend of hipster rock and EDM around, which makes the threesome a perfect addition to your Ultra experience. So make sure you catch them the first day and get blown up — uh, away. Drugs are bad.

The Ebola epidemic is still raging through West Africa. Thousands are dead, including many health care workers who bravely fought the disease on the front lines.
There is an urgent demand to develop the medicines needed to defeat Ebola. Experimental drugs are being rushed to field hospitals. While it is projected that large batches of drugs should arrive by January, many thousands will by then be dead–and tens of thousands will likely be infected.
Much has already been written about why the world was caught "off guard" when the Ebola epidemic struck despite warnings by infectious disease experts. We have a highly sophisticated pharmaceutical industry (Big Pharma) that produces a steady stream of "miracle" drugs. But what drives the research and development of these ubiquitous medicines is singular: profit. Read the rest of this entry »
