POPSUGAR Beauty Bella Bargain Bella Bargain: 50% Off at Fred Segal Beauty by Beauty 10/01/09 0 Shares Like us on Facebook These days, I don't look twice at sales unless prices are slashed by at least 40 percent. So you'll understand why I'm doing a triple-take at Studio Beauty Mix, the online home of Fred Segal Beauty. The boutique has shaved 50 percent off a range of goodies from Korres, Stila, kaplanMD, Finley, Borba, and Smashbox. If you're so inclined, you can scoop up this Barbie Loves Stila set — which includes mascara, two eye shadows, a blush, and a lip glaze — for $20. Or to set the mood, scoop up a Burn candle for $30. (If you have any scent suggestions, I'm all ears.) With the holiday shopping season approaching quickly, now might be the time to score some gifts at a low cost. And if you decide to do a little gift-giving to yourself, I promise to look the other way.

Fashion & Beauty News Beauty Tips Celebrity Style Street Style Sign up with Aziajs 5 years NEVER ORDER FROM THIS PLACE!!!!! I thought it was such a great deal so I ordered several things only to find out that 1/2 of my order was "backordered" and then canceled. Meanwhile I have the full charge floating on my debit card for days. The items on the website do not actually reflect what they have in the inventory! The customer service is horrible. They are complete idiots who don't care. And to top everything off, when I finally get my order after a week of waiting, one of the items is wrong! They won't even send out the right product! They told me they would send return instructions on how to return it and just credit my card. Now, I'll have to drop this off to be shipped back and clearly that will be yet another 2 weeks of hassle. This is the worst online etailer experience I have ever had. Such a vast disappointment. Please save your time and money and shop elsewhere! oni1 5 years i just got $200 worth of stuff for only $76. thanks bella! brandysbug 5 years Thanks for the heads-up! I went to the site and a lot of the stuff is 66% off - even better! I am so sad, though. I just bought the Korres guava butter gift set for $34 at Sephora 2 weeks ago and it's on sale for $11-something at Fred Segal.

Lost Spirits Distillery in Monterey County, California, is a kooky little place, resembling more a back yard miniature golf course than a typical distillery. Most of the equipment is outdoors, including the pot still that's shaped like a dragon, miniature grain-smoking pagoda, and the above-ground pool that serves as the cooling water for the condenser.
The distillery is run by Bryan Davis and Joanne Haruta. You may remember them from several years back when they ran a distillery in Spain that produced Obsello absinthe and Port of Barcelona gin. Davis is a former art teacher and zoo exhibit designer but he has picked up more than a little bit of chemistry as we'll soon see.
So, that dragon-shaped pot still: It's powered by an old apartment building steam boiler for heat. The body of the still (300 gallons) looks like a big barbecue grill but it's made out of roofing copper. The shape was built in a way to minimize removing flavors, rather than rectifying much like tall round pot stills. Davis says, "We engineer the fermentation so much that we want to capture more of the flavor in distillation."
The dragon tail is the lynne arm, which dips into a horizontal condenser. The water for the condenser comes from the bottom of a swimming pool, which heats up over the day of distilling, sometimes reaching 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
With their old still, which was built out of wood, they would hop in the warm pool at the end of the day and use it as a hot tub. But chlorine and wood doesn't mix - the still actually got corked and they had to replace it. (For those of you barrel-aging cocktails, never rinse your barrels with chlorinated tap water for this reason.)
Davis would like you to know that the pool water does not actually go into the whiskey; it stays in the pipes for cooling purposes only.
The dragon's head is a steam release, so while distilling steam shoots out its mouth.
Making Rum at Lost Spirits
At this distillery they make whiskey and rum. The whiskey I wrote about for Whisky Advocate and I'll try to publish some more info here when the story comes out.
We watched an incredibly scientific Powerpoint presentation about the rum called, "Engineering Rum: The Fruit Nature Forgot to Make." I'll cover what I think I learned from it.
There will probably be some mistakes in the below text, so please don't take it as gospel but as starter info for further exploration.
At Lost Spirits, they imitate the dunder pit process in a more... clean way. They mash up bananas and add lab-controlled bacteria to it. Then they add this to the fermenting molasses.
In the process of fermentation, there is a battle of yeast versus bacteria. The byproduct of yeast's battle against bacteria is acetic acid and trace carboxylic acid. Yeast under stress bind acids to alcohol and make esters. They accomplish this stress by adding dunder to yeast.
As the goal is to get funky, stanky (high-esther, high-acid) rum out of the still, their still is a low-rectification model (short and squat). This will allow more of these compounds to pass over in distillation.
Aging Rum at Lost Spirits
One flavor they want to get out of their rum is a honey flavor, which is phenol-ethyl acetate. This comes from ethyl acetate (ester) plus phenol. And the ethyl acetate comes from from acetic acid (that comes from wood, yeast, and bacteria), wood as a catalyst, and ethanol.
Got that? Yeah me neither but sorta.
To age their rum they use new American oak barrels, smoked and charred to release lots more esters. These barrels are then seasoned with sherry.
Another flavor they want to crank up in their rum in rancio, a flavor found in old cognac and other spirits but that usually doesn't turn up until about 30 years of aging. However, Davis notes that it shows up earlier in solera-aged spirits, which are aged in super old barrels.
Rancio comes from lignin (from long-aged wood barrels) decomposing in liquid. So they have figured out a way to copy this process and are patenting it. So all I know is what they're doing; not how.
Rums Coming Out of the Distillery
Rums coming out of the distillery come in small batches and include Navy-style rum, Cuban-style rum, Colonial American-style rum, and Polynesian-style rum. I'm not sure what the difference is between the various styles, but they're all high-proof.
I believe that the navy-style rum is the easiest to find. Some of it comes in at a whopping 68% and retails for about $45, which is an absurd bargain.
Science is delicious!
Spirit Works Reserve Barrel Sloe Gin
Spirit Works has released a limited edition barrel aged sloe gin – the first of its kind in the US.
To produce their Reserve Barrel Sloe Gin, they began with their Spirit Works Sloe Gin, made with real sloe berries, and Spirit Works Gin, then allowing the blend to rest in new American Oak for several months. This barrel-aging process allows the spirit to breathe through the wood, rounding the sweetness and the spices.
Spirit Works Reserve Barrel Sloe Gin is currently available exclusively in Northern California at a suggested retail price of $75.00. It can also be sampled in the Distillery tasting room, along with their full portfolio Thursday – Sunday from 11am – 4pm. Tours of the distillery are also available by appointment, Friday – Sunday at 4pm. To arrange a tour or for more information on the Distillery and where to purchase its products, visit the website.
Dulce Vida Extra Anejo Tequila
Dulce Vida Organic Tequila announces a 5-Year Limited Edition Extra Añejo. Like all Dulce Vida tequilas, the Extra Añejo is made with 100% blue agave sourced from the Los Altos Higlands of Jalisco, and distilled and aged in San Ignacio Cerro Gordo, Mexico. This Limited Edition was rested for five years in barrels of American Oak that previously contained vintages of Merlot and Cabernet wines from a Napa Valley winery.
Dulce Vida's Extra Anejo will be available in the market in November with an expected retail price of $169 per bottle.
Giffard Speed Rack Black Rose Liqueur
Back Bar Project LLC, exclusive importers of Giffard Liqueurs announces a special edition, all natural, Crème de Rose liqueur. Giffard, the family-owned liqueur maker located in France's Loire Valley since 1885 worked with the founders of Speed Rack, an all-female speed-bartending competition that raises money for breast cancer research. Speed Rack Black Rose Liqueur will be available starting December 14th in New York. Net proceeds of Speed Rack Black Rose will be donated in support of breast cancer awareness and education.
Petals of Moroccan Rosa Damascena are macerated in neutral beet spirit to extract their delicate aroma and flavor. Sugar and water are then added to the infusion to create this exquisite liqueur. The label features Speed Rack's notable black and pink logo.
Speed Rack, created by bar industry leaders, Ivy Mix and Lynnette Marrero, kicked off its fourth season on November 10th, 2014 in Washington DC.

Six Saints Rum
Crucial Drinks will be launching Six Saints Rum – one of the first actively exported rums produced in Grenada - in the US market. Six Saints Rum is set to be released on January 1st, 2015 in NJ, FL, GA and IL and will hit shelves in the CT, DE, MD, MA, NY, NC, PA, SC, VA, WV and DC markets by early 2015.
Six Saints Rum is exclusively distilled at Grenada Distillers (formerly the Grenada Sugar Factory) – one of just two surviving distilleries on the Island. Though Grenada is known as the "Island of Spice," Six Saints Rum is un-spiced.
It is distilled from fermented molasses then finished in once used American white oak bourbon barrels until mature.
Six Saints Rum takes its name from Grenada's six saintly parishes: St. George, St. John, St. Andrew, St. Patrick, St. Mark and St. David. Grenada has been quietly producing rum since 1785 and is the last of the West Indies to actively export their spirits.
41.7% ABV; MSRP $37/ 750ml
Bacardi introduces the Facundo Rum Collection
The Facundo Rum Collection is a collection of four aged sipping rums from Bacardi. The Facundo Rum Collection is a tribute to Bacardi founder Don Facundo Bacardi Masso.
The Facundo Rum Collection is a series of aged rums. Each of the four members of the Facundo Rum Collection offers its own distinct flavor and style and includes:
Neo - One of the oldest lightest rums available on the market today, NEO is a blend of medium-to heavy-bodied rums. Once the aging process is complete, the rums are filtered over activated carbon to remove any color.
Age: 1 – 8 years of age.
Price: $45
Eximo - Features a blend of medium-to heavy-bodied rums aged in white oak barrels for more than a decade. Eximo is the only of the four rums that is blended before aging – a process which relies on the Master Blender to tailor the flavor and aroma 10 years in advance.
Age: 10 – 12 years of age.
Price: $60
Exquisito - A medium-to heavy-bodied rum crafted aged in oak barrels. Some of these rums have been individually filtered over activated carbon before aging. After the aging process, the rums are blended, transferred and stored in sherry casks to rest for a minimum of 1 month. Exquisito combines the fruitier notes of its 7 year-old rums with the smokier and spicier notes of its 23 year-old rums.
Age: 7 – 23 years of age.
Price: $90
Paraiso – This rum features a blend of rums from the private Bacardi Family Reserves, individually filtered over activated carbon before aging. After aging, Paraiso rums are married in French casks for a minimum of 1 month.

Selvarey Rum introduces Selvarey White and Selvarey Cacao
Hailing from the jungles of Panama, Selvarey Rum is based in Los Angeles and co-founded by brothers Marc and Seth Gold, and Robert Herzig.
Selvarey's rums are distilled in the province of Herrera in copper column stills that date back to 1922. Master Blender Francisco "Don Pancho" Fernandez, a 35-year veteran of Havana Club rums, the former Cuban Minister of Rum, and a resident of Panama, collaborated with Selvarey to create the recipes for both spirits, and is involved throughout the production process, from planting and harvesting the sugar cane to aging and bottling the rum.
The name, which translates loosely from Spanish to "king of the jungle" (Selva-Rey), is a nod to Fernandez carving his distillery and sugar cane fields out of the Panamanian wilderness.
Selvarey White (750ml / 40% ABV / $25.00) – Selvarey White, a blend of three- and five- year old rums, is aged in American Oak and carbon-filtered to remove most of the color without losing the flavors imbued during the aging process.
Selvarey Cacao (750ml / 35% ABV / $30.00) – In Selvarey Cacao, Fernandez selects a five-year-old rum whose character is brought out by the infusion of locally sourced chocolate.
Selvarey Rum is distributed through Southern Wine & Spirits in California.

Captain Morgan 1671 Commemorative Blend Spiced Rum
This limited-time offering was inspired by Captain Henry Morgan's victorious raid on the Spanish in 1671, where he lost his beloved flagship, The Satisfaction.
Made with St. Croix rum and finished through Spanish Oak, the blend contains elements derived from the type of barrels that were believed to have been on board The Satisfaction.
At 70 proof (35% ABV), Captain Morgan 1671 Commemorative Blend is packaged in a unique jug designed in a nod to the 17th century and will be available nationally beginning in May 2014 for a suggested retail price of $19.99 (750 mL bottle).
The Bacardi Legacacy Global Cocktail Competition is a bit different from other global cocktail competitions in that every bartender presents a single drink to the judges, rather than having multiple drink challenges and mystery ingredient competitions and speed rounds.
The reason for this is that the goal of the competition is for the bartender to create a future classic cocktail, like the Daiquiri, that can and hopefully will be made around the globe for many years to come. (And of course, sell lots of Bacardi in the process.)
While attendees at the 2014 competition in Moscow, Russia last week were only witness to the 27 bartenders from around the world presenting their drink to the judges, there were months work of effort that went into those few minutes: Bartenders were required to develop their drink using ingredients available in nearly every country and promote the cocktail through different means to prove its viability.
Some used social media, others served the drink to thousands on guest bartending shifts in different bars, and the American competitor Naomi Levy from Boston's Eastern Standard used the drink as a means of raising $13,000 for charity.
The promotion of the cocktail was taken into consideration for the overall scoring, though I'm not sure what the exact breakdown is.
The Finals
In Moscow 27 bartenders from as many countries competed in the semi-finals, and 8 went through to the finals, which were held in a palace built for Catherine the Great (no big deal).
The last time I attended Bacardi Legacy it was three years ago in Barcelona, and they also did a great job of presenting the finals in a huge and unforgettable venue. They put on a great show.
Nearly all the eight finalists were nervous as heck on stage and some lost the plot a little bit along the way. I can't say that the best presenter took home the prize, but I didn't get to taste the cocktails nor was aware of the cumulative score until that point. The winner, however, was the clear leader predicted by the chatter of spectators in the room.
The winner of the Bacardi Legacy Global Cocktail Competition was Tom Walker of The American Bar at The Savoy Hotel in London. His drink contains Bacardi, lime juice, cucumber, mint, absinthe, and soda water, like a Daiquiri-Mojito mashup with a spritz of absinthe.
I've had the drink before, and there's no denying it is delicious and refreshing, easy to make, and can have massive appeal. Well, done, Tom.

Denizen Merchant's Reserve Rum
Citizen Spirits LLC, the producers of Denizen Aged White Rum, a 3-year-old blend from Trinidad and Jamaica, announce the launch of their first amber expression named Denizen Merchant's Reserve.
Denizen Merchant's Reserve is an amber colored molasses rum; a blend of 8-year-old plummer style Jamaican pot still rum and a component of Rhum Grande Arome from the French island of Martinique.
It will be available in San Francisco and New York City early April with a suggested retail price of $29.99 per 750ml bottle.

So comics people aren't always known for being super duper active. Or maybe that's more of a stereotype. In any case, I do like to do things that involve the "outside", like walking my dog or maybe playing kickball if there's people up for it, or swimming. The opportunity for indoor rock climbing came up at my job for last Friday, and I was all "Heck yeah, Imma be climbing like a spider monkey." I'd only done rock climbing once before in high school, and I remembered it being really awesome.
There happened to be enough discount tickets that the illustrious James Hornsby of Botchedspot fame could go with me and my work chums, so he got to tag along (as the story goes, you will see this was quite a lucky matter to have happen). We received instructions on how to use our harnesses and the various spots with auto-rappelling ropes available. These were quite fun! I also tried having a belayer, which meant a friend on the ground was securely attached to me as I climbed up a different rock face. This, too, was also quite fun!
At the front of the facility was a wall known as the bouldering wall, which was maybe 10 feet tall or so and surrounded by a cushy mat. The instructions for bouldering were simple: there's no rope attaching to your harness, you just climb. When you want to get down, you jump specifically with both feet below you and do not through your arms out. Land with both feet. Pretty straight-forward.
However, when I followed these instructions from my maybe-four-feet-up jump, as both feet hit the mat at the same time, the right let gave out and there was a noise I won't try to describe to you because it was a very, very, very bad sounding noise.
Luckily, I had the puts-on-a-brave-face-in-fronta-broken-legs James there and several work friends who talked me through the whole "Holy crap I broke something" shock and kept the ice packs coming from the front desk of the facility. When the EMTs arrived and asked if I liked my jeans because they'd have to cut them to support my leg, I was like "Well, I guess I don't like them all that much today." After clearing the building and getting to the ambulance, a safe distance from all the small children who were rock climbing and not breaking limbs, I let out a string of swear words that woulda made the saltiest of sailor-types blush.
The shortest version of the doctor's prognosis is this: I broke my tibia and fibula in several places, enough that the docs said "Boy howdy, you need a titanium rod down there for the rest of your life. But you can't have surgery tonight because you ate, so here's a giant splint and stay still until surgery in the morning." The surgery went well, and I received many flowers, cards, toys and the like from people who wanted me to feel better. I've just finished week one of three weeks with no weight on the healing leg, which is a feat considering I had to get assistance getting up three flights of stairs to my apartment. In about two weeks, I have a doctor visit to let me know how much weight it can have, plus some physical therapy for a while.
So between the crutches with the air-cast boot and my bathroom outfitted with a boosted toilet seat with handlebars and a shower seat, I'm channeling my inner hapless baby mixed with 90 year old lady.
Luckily for the comic, I've had updates scheduled through this chapter for some time, and am getting myself situated so that I can use laptops while having my leg propped up proper. It's just a matter of being careful.
Mind you, I might have forgotten to mention that the day this happened was a Friday the 13th. I'm not normally a Friday the 13th paranoid type, but I guess now I have a reason. Other co-workers questioned our sanity for rock-climbing on a Friday the 13th, but I brushed it off. I suppose now I know better. I already promised both my husband and my grandpa that I won't rock climb again. I shall replace it with building pony models, I suppose.

Jennifer Garner was in a plaid Elizabeth and James shirt yesterday when she grabbed coffees with a friend in Santa Monica before picking Violet up at school. It looks like Violet's teddy bear is a Red Sox fan just like her dad. Jennifer and Violet were fresh off a weekend spent with Ben and Seraphina as your favorite celebrity family of 2009 prepped for Seraphina's first birthday today! It's been one year since Ben and Jennifer welcomed their second daughter into the world — our first peek was two months later in March, and it's amazing to see just how much the littlest Garner-Affleck has grown.

Some women stay in marriages out of convenience, denial and fear of losing her dream of marriage. For her, she gained more fame, money and power through Ben. Seems like they're just going through the motions and it's unfortunate that she's so weak like that.

Jennifer is a COOL mom! It's great that she dresses for the right occasions. Why would you need makeup and designer wear for something so normal like running school errands? It clearly shows that she is comfy in her own skin and does not need to be overconscious with how she looks like so as to suit the paps. But yeah, getting too thin-looking nowadays...

The Dream Quake, by Elizabeth Knox
Moral dilemmas for any age
Elizabeth Knox's gripping adult novels are literary but dynamic, sensuous and inventive. She has a striking ability to evoke a potent sense of time and place far removed from her writing base in New Zealand. The Vintner's Luck, published in 1999 and quickly attracting an enthusiastic European audience, was set in 19th-century rural France and imagined the illicit potency of a peasant vintner's midsummer assignations with an angel. Black Oxen subsequently took readers through a mystic portal on the Scottish coast into a semi-medieval trading empire, and then to California in 2022 and a rumbustious Latin American guerrilla war. Billie's Kiss followed, seemingly an Edwardian mystery of industrial sabotage set on a Hebridean island, but flounced with complex echoes of Prospero's demesne in The Tempest. Linking all these diverse but vivid locales together was a gyring sense of another world interpenetrating with our own naturalistic universe.
Now Knox has turned her formidable talent towards an imaginary corner of her native New Zealand. Her last novel, The Rainbow Opera, turned up the fantasy dial and pitched a hidden landscape at a young adult readership. "The Place" is a massive, barren country that is contiguous with a small geographic area of "Southland". The Place was accidentally discovered when Tziga Hame suddenly disappeared whilst travelling through Southland's countryside. Only a select few Southlanders possess the ability to enter The Place. Of those, even fewer are capable of catching the dreams that exist there. These "Dreamhunters" enjoy celebrity status for bringing their harvested dreams out of the Place and transmitting them, through elaborate public sleeping auditoria such as the Rainbow Opera itself, for the benign enjoyment of a receptive public.
This may sound like pastoral make-believe, but an Orwellian edge of manipulative mass narcosis quickly emerges. Tziga Hame is reported dead in The Rainbow Opera. His prickly, determined daughter Laura, emerging as a powerful Dreamhunter in her own right, disbelieves the official story and begins to uncover some unpalatable truths that strike at the moral fabric of her society. Knox's new novel, The Dream Quake, follows Laura's quest to conclude "The Dreamhunter Duet" in a gripping, urgent pursuit that raises the pitch of its predecessor.
The Dreamhunters' hidden land is similar paranormal terrain to the marshy Scottish portal of Black Oxen, with equally unresolved metaphysics, but the lucid and sophisticated prose style that Knox uses for her adult novels is replaced here by a clarity of dialogue and a cracking narrative pace. This gives an immediacy to the throng of moral questions that crush into the inchoate sensibilities of adolescence. The result is a forceful tale that engages readers unwilling to savour purple prose, and a confrontation with moral dilemmas that begin in the turbulence of youth but extend well into adulthood. Laura labours with potent and conflicting issues of identity, loyalty, trust, duty, responsibility, honesty, independence, isolation, and integrity, whilst orienting her way through adventures which test her mettle in a classic coming-of-age story.
The nearest useful comparison to Knox's conceptual framework is Philip Pullman's Northern Lights, which also explores social power and control in the context of other possible quantum universes. Pullman's Lyra makes a heroically persistent warrior perhaps because, at 11, she is still a child and not constrained by the angst and awareness of a proto-adolescent sophistication. Knox's prose may have sacrificed subtlety for pace (rightly so), but determined, mid-teenage Laura Hame still agonises over her decision- making in the face of hostile social forces, and her travails are in keeping with the stresses and strains of emergent maturity. The Dream Quake is taut with emotional tripwires and, without adding too much didactic freight, nourishes the uplifting idea that you can change your own fate by taking responsibility for your actions and choices - an idea that roots just as well in adolescent and adult sensibilities.

Upcoming Event
When Wellness Works: A Panel Discussion
Time: 07:30:00 - 09:00:00
Place: Sheraton Hotel- Downtown Nashville
Alberto Gonzales weighs in on the Supreme Court health care hearings
- Chris Silva
- Staff Reporter- Nashville Business Journal
"I think this court is ready to go, and the country wants them to decide this issue," he said.
The decision could have a major impact on the local health care industry, he added.
"I think it's important to Tennesseans the outcome of this decision," Gonzales said. "There are health care providers who feel their business would improve if the insurance mandate is upheld. It could bring good risk to the insurance pool (and) make health care more affordable for everyone."
Today, the justices are listening to whether the individual mandate is severable from the rest of the health reform act, and whether it goes too far in coercing states to expand the Medicaid program.
Twenty-six states are seeking to have the health reform law revoked in its entirety.
Chris Silva covers health care, technology and venture capital for the Nashville Business Journal.

Harvard Baseball Cover "Call Me Maybe"
If you have been under a rock for about the last three months, you have missed the internet sensation that is "Call Me Maybe." The song, which is the big hit for Carly Rae Jepsen, is taking the world by storm. This song is getting played everywhere and everyone is getting in on the fun.
The Harvard baseball team decided that the world needed a cover of the song provided by them. The video is filled with lip synching and awesome dance moves. Awesome might be a bit of a stretch, but it is hilarious to watch. I really enjoyed this video.
Call Me Maybe is taking over and there is nothing that you can do to stop it. It is personally one of my favorite songs and if you do not enjoy belting this song out, I have the feeling you have no sense of humor. The lyrics are wacky and it is a such a teeny pop song that you have to enjoy it. It is getting played everywhere, so more and more of these videos are going to pop out of the woodwork.
Props to the Harvard baseball team for letting go and enjoying this. It is not easy to do a video that may embarrass you, but they have no qualm with it. It is hilarious and it might get them some national attention. The best part of it is at the end when the song switches. There is no reaction to the new song. Well played, Harvard baseball. Well played.

Givati drill. (photo credit:IDF Spokesman's Office)
The IDF held a surprise large-scale drill in the Golan Heights Wednesday as turmoil continued to rock Syria, just across the border.The drill saw Artillery Corps conscripts and officers who were performing ordinary patrol activity in the West Bank airlifted in helicopters without prior warning to their artillery pieces' firing positions in the Golan. Hours later they took part in live artillery-fire exercises."Some of the soldiers were on vacation and some were on operational missions in other areas, mainly the West Bank," a senior IDF source acquainted with the drill said. "It came as a full surprise to them."A drill of this nature and scope had not been held in the Golan region for several years. It began at 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday when chief artillery officer Brig.-Gen. Roee Riptin, who planned the drill, gave the go-ahead for the exercise to begin."The aim was to test IDF readiness for all scenarios," the IDF source explained. "We simulated a situation in which there was no advance warning, and getting forces to the Golan in a surprise situation... It is a drastic transition."The Air Force also took part in the drill.The source said the army's command level was "reasonably satisfied" with the results, saying the transition had gone according to plan.Prior to Wednesday, senior IDF officers at the Operations Branch and on the General Staff worked with Riptin to plan the exercise, though very few people were aware that it was about to take place. On Tuesday evening a drill-monitoring group was assembled and taken to the Golan, where it was briefed for the first time."This drill is part of a routine program of evaluations and surprise exercises held throughout the year by the IDF comptroller," the IDF Spokesman's Office said in a media statement.It came on the heels of a major Golani Brigade infantry and Armored Corps exercise, held in the Golan in recent weeks, that simulated combat with Hezbollah.The IDF said Wednesday's drill had been planned well in advance and should not be linked with any current developments.It did, however coincide with ongoing concerns over instability in Syria and the fate of chemical weapons there.Earlier on Wednesday, The London Times reported that a Syrian general who defected to anti-regime rebels, Maj.-Gen. Adnan Sillu, said Syrian President Bashar Assad had planned to transfer chemical weapons to Hezbollah, and also weighed using the weapons on rebels.Earlier this week, the German weekly Der Spiegel reported that the Syrian army had testfired shells east of Aleppo that were capable of carrying deadly chemical substances.

Korea Electric Power Management Discusses Q1 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
We had KRW 66 billion income tax expense, which was KRW 131 billion rise compared to the year before, mainly due to a raise in corporate tax rate and improved net income of our subsidiary. As a result of the foregoing, we recorded consolidated net loss of KRW 538 billion in 2012, with slightly improved by KRW 12 billion, from net loss of KRW 550 billion in 2011.
This concludes the overview of KEPCO's earnings results for the first quarter of 2012.
[Foreign Language – Korean]
[Interpreted] Now, let me move on to the Q&A session.
[Foreign Language – Korean] [Interpreted] I am joined with the IR committee members, in charge of finance, tariff, overseas business et cetera. We are prepared to take any questions.

[Foreign Language – Korean] [Interpreted] Now Q&A session will begin. (Operator instructions) Operator
[Foreign Language – Korean] [Interpreted] The first question will be given by [inaudible]. Please go ahead sir. Unidentified Analyst
[Foreign Language – Korean] [Interpreted] Yes, I have 4 questions. The first one is in the operating losses, the accounts receivables were reflected, or will we have to add-on additionally the accounts receivable to come up with the total operating loss. The second question is can you give us the figures segregated by month from the month of January to March. Third question is specifically for the month of March we see that the S&P prices have been increased, is this possibly due to the interrupted operations of Kori-1 unit and the [inaudible] nuclear power plant unit IV, and that caused the power purchase to be increased in volume, and therefore costing up the price. The fourth question is in terms of sales related costs, could you give us a segregated figure for the sales and administrative costs, SG&A costs?

Pre-Record "ECMO Success Stories for Babies with Congenital Heart Defects"
in Health
Sometimes our littlest heart heroes need extraordinary help in order to survive. One of the most extraordinary machines used to save our babies born with congenital heart defects is known as ECMO which stands for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. This is a special machine that takes blood from the body, oxygenates it using an artificial lung, and pumps it back into the body using an artificial heart. ECMO is similar to a heart/lung bypass machine used in open heart surgery, but can be used for a longer time.
Twenty years ago, when my son was just a baby, all of the babies I knew who were put on ECMO passed away. But like with so many types of new technology, things have changes and improved over the year. Now being put on ECMO doesn't have to be a death sentence. Today's show will feature three mothers whose children have been put on ECMO and survived. Hear about their experiences and what they feel other parents need to know on today's show.
