'Hamas Demands for Shalit Are Unacceptable'
Israel: Gaza blockade to continue until soldier freed; Israel and Hamas blame each other for deadlock.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Tuesday that Israel would not concede to Hamas' demands in a prisoner swap deal for abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
After briefing the cabinet for more than three hours on the status of intensive weekend negotiations in Cairo which came to a deadlock a day earlier, Olmert said that ministers had agreed Hamas' demands were impossible to meet.
"Israel presented generous far reaching proposals to the other side that were supposed to bring about the release of Gilad," Olmert said in a televised address hours after the closed-door meeting.
"I approved these proposals that meant in practice that hundreds of terrorists would be released, including some who killed Israelis. These proposals were rejected," he said. "Others will not be handed over to Hamas."
"Over the last years we have held meetings with unlimited channels, in different places around the world," Olmert said. "Unfortunately, we have are entangled with a cruel body, lacking basic human sentiment, murderous, unscrupulous, which was not ready to respond to the challenge.
"I want to say here, on behalf of the State of Israel and its government, we have red lines and we will not cross them," said Olmert, but added that efforts for Shalit's release would continue.
An Israeli political source said following the cabinet briefing that Israel would not ease its blockade of the Gaza Strip until Shalit was freed by the enclave's Hamas Islamist rulers.
"The crossings ... are operating at a minimum to prevent a humanitarian crisis in Gaza," the source said following a special cabinet briefing to dicuss the negotiations. "And they [the crossings] will remain so until Gilad Shalit is released."
The Egyptian-brokered talks hit an impasse over Israel's refusal to free all 450 long-serving Palestinian prisoners sought by Hamas in exchange for Shalit, seized by Palestinian militants who tunnelled into Israel from the Gaza Strip in 2006.
Olmert had agreed to free more than 320 of the 450 prisoners on the Hamas list, Israeli political sources said. But he balked at releasing those who orchestrated the deadliest bus and cafe bombings that have killed scores of Israelis since the outbreak of a Palestinian uprising in 2000, the sources said.
Israel to publicize Hamas demands in Shalit deal
Meanwhile, the cabinet decided on Tuesday to publicize the list of Palestinian prisoners Hamas has demanded be freed. The list includes hundreds of prisoners with "blood on their hands," including terrorists sentenced to multiple life terms.
"The prime minister was ready for far reaching concessions, way beyond what some of the ministers were ready for," Justice Minister Daniel Friedmann said after the briefing. "At the same time, Hamas's demands reached such proportions that in our assessment, no Israeli government could accept."
Shin Bet Chief Yuval Diskin voted in favor of releasing Hamas' list, according to a participant of the briefing, because he believes it is important for the Israeli public to see exactly who the Islamist group wants released in the deal.
Israel and Hamas blame each other for deadlocks
A Hamas leader said on Tuesday it hoped Israel would resume talks, as the two sides traded blame for the failure of the negotiations.
"I hope that Olmert will listen to the voice of reason and come back to pursue the talks to reach a deal by meeting [our] conditions," senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan told Reuters by telephone from Lebanon.
"If the Israeli government sticks to its negative position, it will not be possible to clinch a deal, at least at the present time... If Israel wants to reach a deal, it should come with a serious offer," he added.
Hamdan also said said Israel's insistence on toughening its stance over the course of the negotiations had contributed to the failure to reach a deal.
Earlier Tuesday, Deputy Prime Minister Eli Yishai said it was unlikely that Olmert's outgoing government would close a deal to secure Shalit's release.
"This government apparently won't bring back Gilad Shalit," said Yishai, who will likely be a senior partner in Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyhu's coalition. "The next government will be bound by the same force to return Gilad."
Sources: Ministers' declarations hurt Shalit talks
Israeli sources involved in the negotiations, meanwhile, accused ministers on Tuesday of having seriously harmed the talks by making declarations in support of paying a high price to secure the abducted soldier's release.
"The conduct of ministers gave Hamas a feeling that the domestic pressure in Israel was intolerable," the sources said. "They saw this as an opportunity and radically toughened their demands, out of an understanding that Israel would agree to this."
Both the Israeli negotiators and Olmert's bureau are stressing that the talks will not be halted. They believe, however, that the negotiations' fate has been sealed for the prime minister's remaining time in office.
They say it is likely that the talks will continue along quieter channels, but only after Netanyahu takes office and formulates his policy on the matter.
Source: Diskin, Dekel 'shocked' at new Hamas demands
Olmert's special envoy on the prisoner exchange, Ofer Dekel, and Shin Bet chief Diskin returned from Egypt on Monday night,f ollowing the two days of intensive negotiations. At a briefing for Olmert and his advisers upon their return, the two blamed Hamas for what they called its unwillingness to show flexibility to reach an agreement.
Dekel and Diskin told Olmert that Hamas had actually toughened its stance and returned to positions it had held in the negotiations a year ago.
Sources said Monday that at a certain point during the negotiations Diskin and Dekel sent over the final Israeli offer. When the Egyptian officials returned with the Hamas offer, the Israeli envoys were shocked to realize that the Islamist group had posed new demands.
"They raised demands of someone who did not wish for a solution," a source said the two men had told Olmert. "The demands came out of nowhere and there was a huge discrepancy between that and things that had been discussed in the past."
Most of the Hamas demands revolved around several dozen prisoners that the group wants freed, and over the issue of whether the freed prisoners would be allowed to return home to the West Bank.
"Despite generous offers put forth by Israel in order to further and conclude the negotiations and gain Shalit's release, Hamas opted to reject everything," the Prime Minister's Bureau said in a statement Monday night.
Meanwhile, a senior Egyptian source told Haaretz that there were significant difficulties in the negotiations. The source said progress in the deal depends on "political decisions that Israel must make."
The source said the main dispute was the number of prisoners released who would be expelled from the West Bank. Hamas appears to agree to the expulsion of only five prisoners on its list, while Israel wants to send dozens abroad.
The prime minister's military secretary, Major General Meir Klifi, updated Shalit's father Noam on the details of the meetings in Cairo.
Olmert also briefed Netanyahu, who had hoped the Shalit case would be over before he took office.
"It is no secret that the last thing that Bibi wants is to have to make a decision on Shalit," a senior source at Likud told Haaretz, using Netanyahu's nickname. "He had hoped that this matter would be over during Olmert's tenure, so he is backing him and is not interfering," the source added.
"Nearly every person from Likud who has been designated to be a minister prefers to see the current government decide the Shalit matter. It is a huge burden."

my shiny pokemon story is in Emerald :3 and it`s quite a cool one
I was at safari zone completing my pokedex (i was missing Miltank, Stantler and Tediursa by that time).
I found some tediursas but all of em fled :/. then, when i was bored watching the tv, i just let the volume of the GBA at max to hear the pokemon roar, when suddently i hear a tediursa cry, followed by the shiny sound.
I didnt look at the gba, but i said (did i just hear...?) i watched and it was a green tediursa!!!
i was really excited yet dissapointed at the same time since all the tediursas i found so far fled.
well, i aproached (my heart was a bout to pop out when did that), and it didnt flee. then i aproached one step more, AND IT STAYED!!! i said to myself (ok, you can do it. this is the one... WRAAAAA!) and pressed the safari ball. it spinned 2 times and came out of the ball and i was like fuuuuuuu.. but it didnt flee :D then i threw another safari ball, and i caught it :D

Ci Lake is formed in late Pleistocene Epoch in the earth's history (300,000 years ago). It has a total area of 10 km2, of which water area occupying 8.4 km2. Ci Lake is larger than the Xihu Lake in Huangzhou, and it ranks at the top of continental lakes that located at downtown. It is endowed with winding bank-line and delicate scenery. Ci Lake got its name because there lots of magnetite stones near the lake. Su Dongpo, a famous literati of Song Dynasty, had ever lived in exile in Huangzhou(the present Huangshi City) because he was involved in the most famous literary inquisition( a case that related to a poem which offended the ruler). His brother Suche (he is also a famous literati) came from Shuozhou to Huangzhou to visit him by ship, but because of the waves, he stopped at Ci Lake. On hearing the news, Su Dongpo hurried to Ci Lake, the Su brothers enjoyed a very happy trip at Ci Lake. When they went to the Lianyudun which had the fame of a small hill on the huge lake, they are attracted by the pretty scenery, so they moored their boat here and began to compose poem and sing. People engraved their poems on a monument to decorate the figure-like stone of Su Dongpo on the top of the hill.

New k5 IIs owner +DA35, very happy !
Hello pentaxians. I am a new pentax owner, recently migrated from Canon. My first camera was a T3i which I never really felt satisfied with. Didn't like how canon was so into video either so I decided between nikon and pentax. From what I have found in research, here I am. Let me say this camera is amazing, everything I was missing with my rebel. I've only had a day to play so far but wow. Here are just a few shots from a short treck today, can't wait for some more good weather+free time. Honey bee is a pixel level crop, wow.

Law & Scholarship
Rauschart, Lisa, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
Byline: Lisa Rauschart
little more than 10 years ago, when the thriller "Silence of the Lambs" was first hitting movie screens, applications to the University of Maryland's criminal-justice program soared.
"Everybody wanted to be a profiler," Charles Wellford, chairman of the school's Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice, says with a chuckle. The still-popular program is ranked among the top in the nation for the strength of its academics and faculty. Currently, 1,100 undergraduates are enrolled in what is one of the largest majors on the College Park campus.
"A criminal-justice major is somewhere between a professional degree and a liberal-arts degree," Mr. Wellford says. "Plus, the subject matter is inherently attractive. Students take an introductory course, and they're hooked."
Drawing on their proximity to such places as the FBI, CIA and other law enforcement agencies, area schools are able to offer an experience that combines a theoretical underpinning with practical, real-life applications.
"Let's face it, today the justice system is a growth industry," says professor Robert Johnson, chairman of the Department of Justice, Law and Society at American University. "People can go into so many fields - probation, parole, law enforcement or administration."
The variety of career options means that a wide range of courses is available to prepare students. Gone are the standards of the early 1970s, when most students in criminal-justice programs were law enforcement personnel.
"We are looking for a broader perspective," Mr. Wellford says. "So we offer classes not only in criminology and criminal justice, but also in policing, courts, corrections and social-science theory-based courses."
Nevertheless, programs differ from place to place. Some, like those at the University of Maryland and American University, offer broadly based curricula grounded in the basics but tailored to the particular needs and mission of the institution.
At American University, for example, students enrolled in the Department of Law, Justice and Society's undergraduate program can take courses on euthanasia, criminal psychology and public policy. Graduate students, most of whom go on to professional jobs, take an internship seminar that requires them to write papers analyzing their experiences with agencies such as the FBI, Secret Service, local law firms or prosecutors' offices.
"This department embraces students," says Anthony McMahon, a senior at American University who is working toward a degree in law and society. "There's a wide variety of topics that allow interaction between students and professors. I always look forward to the courses I take here."
Other programs, such as the master's degree program at George Washington University, narrow their focus to concentrate on a particular area. At GW, the emphasis is on forensics. Indeed, many students who received an undergraduate degree in criminal-justice-related fields from other area colleges and universities often turn to GW's master's degree program in the forensic sciences. The Department of Forensic Sciences there also offers graduate certificates in security management and computer fraud investigation.
What can you expect from a four-year broad-based undergraduate program in criminal justice similar to those offered at the University of Maryland and American University? For one thing, you'll get an education that can prepare you for any number of experiences. Both the University of Maryland and American University boast that about 30 percent of their undergraduate criminal-justice majors go on to law schools. Others end up in law enforcement, working for various federal agencies, or going on to do crime-based research and analysis.
Most area criminal-justice programs host job fairs to introduce students to the opportunities available to them. …

Skippy is my Mom and this is a dish I remember from my childhood. It's wonderful with creamed potatos and peas.
I really enjoyed this recipe. The pork came out so tender, and the flavor was delicious. I sprinkled a little onion powder on the pork chops in addition to the salt and pepper before I broiled them. Then in the diced tomato mixture, I used Italian seasoning, 2 minced garlic cloves, and salt & pepper. With about ten minutes left of baking, I took off the foil, and sprinkled some mozz. cheese on top. Yum!!!

I am feeling pretty lonely here :((
Hi beautiful decoration picture. i have been to SI for a conference but never Christmas time. Greetings
Happy birthday, Tanja. I visited all of the former Yugoslav republics except Slovenia and Croatia last summer. It seems that I may have missed the most beautiful ones. I hope to return to Bosnia soon. Perhaps I can add those to my itinerary.
I was some weeks ago in Celje ... and you are right. The part of the old town in Celje is a litte like a "ghost town" after the shops closed. Only one or two restaurant-café and the café - bar in Hotel Europe are open.
Hello Tanja! What a wonderful page on Celje. Your town looks really charming. Happy birthday from Finland!
It looked like a fairy tale even without the lights, T.
very cool photos from triglav. hopefully i'll get to climb it soon.
a lovely page & nice pictures !
I hope the old town survives & the small businesses too. That is the real character of your lovely hometown. Please finish some of those tips were the stories sound so interesting.
WOW! Looks gorgeous!

Take a Virtual Tour of The Garden City: Top Vancouver Videos
With its winning combination of hip cosmopolitan hangouts, gourmet restaurants and epic natural landscapes, it's not hard to fathom why Vancouver keeps us coming back for more. Embrace your inner explorer and take to the wilds or set about discovering a long list of sleek urban hotspots with our top five Vancouver videos.
"Respect Mother Nature" by Jon Rawlinson
Vancouver boasts some pretty awe-inspiring natural scenery and this film by Jon Rawlinson shows some of the city's most impressive spots in all their glory. The nature junkies among us are definitely in for a treat.
"45 Minutes" by Brad McGiveron
With scenery like the Coast Mountain Range right on Vancouver's doorstep, it's easy to see why the city attracts so many intrepid explorers. Just 45 minutes out of town, this video gives us a glimpse of just what's on offer.
"Vancouver - Testing the Canon 7D" by Brandon Moza
Brandon Moza's short film focuses on some of the everyday city scenes you might encounter in Vancouver. Laidback and atmospheric, we think this film gives a great feel for life in the city.
"Vancouver + Multiframes" by Bernhard Schinn
We love this multi-frame film by Bernhard Schinn and its stylish selection of Vancouver imagery. Shot from the side of a railway, on board a boat and on foot in the city centre, this video makes for a fantastic virtual tour.
"Summer in Vancouver City" by Van Dans
Upbeat and atmospheric we love "Summer in Vancouver City" by Van Dans. Follow the camera through Vancouver, take in the sights and get up close and personal with a grizzly bear.
Virgin Atlantic operate seasonal flights to Vancouver from London Heathrow, with our summer service starting on 14th May 2013.

Discover stories about the world of beer and our role within it.
Our progress and performance are overseen by the corporate accountability and risk assurance committee of the board (CARAC)
At SABMiller, our purpose is to bring refreshment and sociability, improve livelihoods and help build local communities.
We have a proud beer heritage. Our brewmasters make beers our consumers love by truly understanding local tastes. That's why we believe the value in beer for us and our communities is local. We know that by helping the businesses in our value chains – and their local communities – to grow, our business will grow too.
When they prosper, so do we.
Society faces many challenges to growth and prosperity that cross national borders, including climate change, water scarcity and access to good quality jobs. Business – with its global reach and resources, links across the value chain, and its relationship with consumers – can and must play its part in tackling these complex issues.
Later this year, the international community will define a new set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which, for the first time, will recognise the role of the private sector in addressing global challenges. SABMiller, alongside other progressive businesses, has sought to contribute to the drafting of the SDGs and we are committed to playing an active role in helping to achieve them. We welcome the focus on a broader sustainable development agenda within the new goals, particularly on the role of micro and small businesses in delivering sustained, inclusive growth and job creation.
Our new sustainable development strategy, Prosper, is aligned with many of the SDG themes. Through five shared imperatives we aim to tackle the issues that are most material for our business at a local and international level.
We do not face these challenges alone, which is why we call them shared imperatives. Prosper is embedded in our business strategy and broadens our focus beyond the direct impact of our own business to how we can drive change across our value chain and beyond. We have set ambitious targets and are committed to learn, listen and collaborate to shape, deliver and scale local solutions.
If we are successful in putting Prosper at the heart of our business, we can secure our long-term success and make a sustainable and measurable difference to the communities and ecosystems in which we operate
Small businesses are critical to economies, to communities and to large businesses like SABMiller. Across the world, we have direct buying or selling relationships with approximately 1.5 million small enterprises. Our long-term growth is dependent on the ability of retailers, distributors, suppliers and farmers to survive, grow and prosper with us. Through programmes such as 4e Path to Progress, run across six countries in Latin America, and Go Farming in Africa, we are helping retailers and farmers to thrive by facilitating access to skills, financial services and technology.
We will continue to play our part in addressing the harmful effects of irresponsible drinking on individuals, families, and society in all the countries in which we operate. We believe our policies on employee behaviour, product innovation and marketing practices are among the most comprehensive in the industry, and we aim to reach all of our beer consumers with effective communication campaigns and partnerships to encourage moderate and responsible consumption.
Water is a vital ingredient in brewing. This year we used an average of 3.3 hectolitres (hl) of water to produce 1 hl of lager, surpassing our target to reach 3.5 hl/hl by 2015. But we also act outside our breweries to tackle shared water risk: working at scale in partnership with local stakeholders to secure shared water supplies. In absolute terms we reduced carbon emissions from on-site energy use by 35% between 2008 and 2015.
The projected rise in the middle class from two billion to five billion by 2030 – largely driven by developing markets – will put further pressure on natural resources[1]. We are driving innovation on barley varieties and farming practices. In Africa, we have pioneered the use of traditional crops, such as sorghum and cassava, in beer, creating new markets for small-scale subsistence farmers who can now sell surplus crops, boosting their income and food security. Through a new exchange programme, in partnership with the Royal Society in London, we hope to identify, nurture and grow local African scientific expertise to drive the next innovations in agriculture, renewable energy, water security and sanitation.
Our soft drinks business is also critical in delivering Prosper: last year Azunosa, our sugarcane farming operation in Honduras, became the first producer in Central America to achieve certification from Bonsucro®, the global organisation that promotes sustainable sugarcane.
We believe strongly that if we are successful in putting Prosper at the heart of our business, we can secure our long-term success and make a sustainable and measurable difference to the communities and ecosystems in which we operate.
That is why all of our businesses have a role to play, from Australia to Zambia, and from supply chain to sales, to deliver Prosper. This report sets out our approach to tackling each of our five shared imperatives, and how Prosper is integrated into our business strategies at a global, regional and local level.
We are improving our safety governance and processes with new standards and monitoring. Everyone should be able to return home from work safely and we deeply regret that there were 29 fatalities in the year, the majority of which were caused by road traffic accidents. We are determined that we should take further action to tackle this as a top priority. Find out more here.
Chairman of CARAC
Chief Executive
June 2015
Small businesses play a critically important role in economic growth and development.
The root causes of the harmful consumption of alcohol are complex and vary across countries and cultures.
Across Africa, some of our breweries already face water supply challenges, from availability to quality.
The impacts of climate change are complex and far-reaching, from food security, energy constraints and water risk to human health.
Azunosa, our sugarcane farming operation in Honduras, makes us a supplier of sugar, as well as a customer.

by Necrophiliac August 30, 2003
Someone who is SUPERFICIAL hides what is inside. They act like someone they are not on the outside, so that no one can get close enough to see who they really are on the inside. The act of being SUPERFICIAL can also really just be being shallow.

GUWAHATI: Drive up from Lengpui, the airport that connects India's remotest state, Mizoram, to its capital Aizawl as the sun starts to set. As you approach the foothills of the capital, you'll notice shacks raised on stilts by the roadside, with hundreds of motorbikes parked alongside.
In a state that prohibited the sale of alcohol 17 years ago, these shacks are the watering holes, where young men ride down, to drink copious amounts of zu, the local brew, and munch on snacks.

Jõhvi Football Club Lokomotiv, sometimes known by the more simple name of Lokomotiv, was founded in June 1999 in the town of Jõhvi. Originally operating as Jõhvi JK Orbiit, they adopted their current name as part of a re-branding procedure at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Over the course of their relatively short history so far, the team have made fairly rapid progress, climbing up through the lower divisions of Estonia's football league pyramid.
Lokomotiv began competitive play in the IV Liiga, the fifth tier of football in the country, in 1999 and their first season was a major success, as they finished top of the league and gained promotion to the III Liiga. They quickly established themselves in that division too, finishing as league runners up at the end of both 2000 and 2002.
The 2005 season marked a major high-point for the team, as they went through the entire III Liiga campaign without losing a single match, winning the league and gaining promotion up to the II Liiga in the process. After several seasons in that division, they gained promotion again in 2009, up to the Esiliiga, Estonia's second tier. Their initial stay in the league was short-lived and they suffered relegation at the end of the 2010 season. However, they were able to regroup and return to the Esiliiga in 2013, after once again claiming the II Liiga title in 2012.
Ruslan Berov was one of the club's stars during their first season, while Aleksandr Marašov was a prolific striker for the side in more recent times. Other notable former players include Sergei Kuzmitšov and Aleksandr Avdeev.
Lokomotiv's home matches are played at the Jõhvi Linnastaadion. The venue has an artificial turf and is currently able to seat a maximum of 500 supporters for football matches.

Greg McMackin's first head-coaching job was with the Warriors of Aloha High School in Oregon. Now, 40 years later in the land of aloha...
HONOLULU — Greg McMackin's first head-coaching job was with the Warriors of Aloha High School in Oregon. Now, 40 years later in the land of aloha, he has come full circle.
McMackin was hired as Hawaii's coach Wednesday after serving as its defensive coordinator last season on a team that went undefeated until losing the Sugar Bowl.
He replaces June Jones, who left the Warriors to coach Southern Methodist less than a week after they were routed by Georgia. McMackin, who was the Seahawks' defensive coordinator from 1995 to 1998, agreed to a five-year deal that will pay him $1.1 million a season, making him the highest-paid coach in school history. He will earn 10 times his 2007 salary.
McMackin, 58, said the Warriors will not change their wide-open offense that flourished last season behind NFL-bound quarterback Colt Brennan.

"What we have to do is build on what we have now," McMackin said. "We're going to keep what June has built. There's no reason to fix something that isn't broken."
McMackin said he wants to be the "glue to hold it together."
The Warriors finished the regular season 12-0, then lost 41-10 in the Sugar Bowl.

The Washington Nationals made a historic demotion early in the week when they sent left-handed pitcher John Lannan down to Triple-A Syracuse instead of bringing them along for the start of the season after Lannan was the Opening Day starter for the 2009 and 2010 season.
Wednesday, Lannan wrote an email to members of the media saying that he has told General Manager Mike Rizzo that he wants a trade. In the email, Lannan said, "''I believe that I belong in a big league rotation."
Lannan has a $5 million salary that he is carrying with him to Syracuse. He was beaten out for the fifth spot in the rotation by Ross Detwiler who had a 1-1 record with a 3.06 ERA in seven games. He also struck out 18 batters which was only second to Gio Gonzalez on the team who struck out 24 batters during the exhibition games. Detwiler also held opponents to a .206 batting average.
Compared to Detwiler, Lannan has a worse Spring Training. Lannan had a record of 1-1 and recorded a 5.14 ERA in six games, four of which were starts. Lannan held opponents to .289 batting average, that is almost three hits out of every 10 at-bats.
Rizzo told reporters before Thursday's opener against the Chicago Cubs that the team has no intentions on trading Lannan.
Last month, there were multiple teams interested in Lannan but Rizzo turned down any trade and Lannan will just be around for reassurance if needed.

The Spectre of Whiteness
in the Harlem Renaissance
and the Black Arts Movement
Emily Bernard
We younger Negro artists who create now intend to express our individual dark-skinned selves
without fear or shame. If white people are pleased we are glad. If they are not, it doesn't matter.
We know we are beautiful. And ugly too. The tom-tom cries and the tom-tom laughs. If colored
people are pleased we are glad. If they are not, their displeasure doesn't matter either. We build
our temples for tomorrow, strong as we know how, and we stand on top of the mountain, free
within ourselves.
"I would like to be white." This phrase ends the first sentence of Langston Hughes' formidable 1926 essay, "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain." This statement is not autobiographical. Rather the sentiment is Hughes' translation of a declaration made by an unnamed poet—Countee Cullen—about his preferred professional identity.1 Cullen told Hughes that he wanted to be known as "a poet—not a Negro poet" and Hughes heard behind Cullen's words a lamentable self-loathing, a pitiable hankering for whiteness. The path from Cullen's sentiment to Hughes' interpretation is circuitous at best, however, and there are, finally, multiple ways in which Cullen's desire could be understood. Surely, Hughes, in his long acquaintanceship with Cullen, perceived myriad subtleties inherent in Cullen's resistance to the label "Negro poet," and experienced his own ambivalence about such labels. But Hughes' interest in Cullen's words here is not philosophical but polemical. Only in this reduced and distorted version does Cullen's language serve a significant role in Hughes' essay. It provides an occasion for the exposure and condemnation of the black middle class, reviled here as the most eminently insidious agent of white supremacy. But while Hughes' essay pretends to curse Cullen and his kind—black imitators of

Nyon Travel Guide: 30 reviews and 108 photos
It is about 30 minutes' drive from geneva and 15 minutes by train.
Its a beautiful town and I have some friends in this town. It is always pleasant and enjoyable to talk to them on Saturdays and Sundays and visit together some nice places nearby.
Its beautiful. You must visit here. The view from the castle is superb. Even in summer, it is relatively calm. There are several nice cafes and restaurants. It is pleasant in summer to sit in the terrace of cafe and read a newspaper or talk to your friends.
You can go to the French side of the Lake leman (Evian, Yvoire, etc) in 30 minutes by a boat like this. Its an excellent day trip to visit these villages.

I had missed Nyon last year but on Sunday morning I am arriving back in Geneva and planning to go to Nyon. Thanks a lot for the tips.
Unfortunately, we have missed Nyon in 2008. Next time we will not. Thank you for tips & photos.
Fine photos of this beautiful medieval town on the lake.
Unfortunately, the weather wasn't too nice when we visited there recently. But the castle is cute. No view of France though because of the fog.
Lovely little page with brilliant photos. We might visit Nyon tomorrow on a daytrip.
Ive never heard of this place - so now Im intrigued!Nice photos and motivating page.
Great seafood restaurant tips. Hälsning Eva

text: Home Culture Report: Audio Reveals Pause Between Gunshots When Michael Brown Was Shot An unverified piece of audio has emerged that allegedly captures the exact moment when Officer Darren Wilson fatally shot the unarmed teen. By: Stephen A. Crockett Jr. Posted: Aug. 26 2014 8:24 AM 0 Michael Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, flanked by his father, Michael Brown Sr., speaks during a press conference at Jennings Mason Temple Church of God in Christ, Aug. 11, 2014, in Jennings, Mo. Michael B. Thomas/Getty Images A new piece of audio has emerged that allegedly is a recording of the exact moment when Officer Darren Wilson fatally shot unarmed teen Michael Brown on Aug. 9. Six shots can be heard in rapid succession, followed by a brief pause before four more shots are fired. According to the New York Daily News, the audio, which surfaced Monday, was recorded by a Ferguson, Mo., resident who can be heard on the tape talking with a woman when gunfire erupts in the background. CNN aired the tape Monday but was unable to independently verify its authenticity. If the audio is from the exact moment when Brown was shot, then the gunfire heard on the tape clearly reveals that the officer paused before firing more shots. "That was what caught my attention initially," said Lopa Blumenthal, a lawyer for the unnamed man who claims to have made the recording. "It shows a point of contemplation." Witnesses have told both police and news stations that Brown, 18, was unarmed and running away with his hands up when Wilson began shooting. An independent autopsy indicates that Brown was hit at least six times, four in his arm and twice in the head. The Daily News notes that if the audio is verified, the pause in firing could add weight to witnesses' claims. Read more at the New York Daily News and CNN. Like The Root on Facebook.

Article: Fabrication, Characterization, and Electrical Properties of Langmuir−Blodgett Films of an Acid Terminated Phenylene−Ethynylene Oligomer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: This paper describes the preparation of Langmuir−Blodgett (LB) films comprised of an oligomeric phenylene−ethynylene (OPE) derivative, 4-[4-(phenylethynyl)-phenylethynyl] benzoic acid (BPEBA). Analysis of the surface pressure and surface potential vs area per molecule isotherms reveal that good quality monolayer films can be formed at surface pressures of 15 mN/m. The monolayers were transferred onto solid substrates with a Z-type deposition and a transfer ratio of 1. Raman and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) studies reveal that the films are physisorbed onto silver metal substrates. The morphology of the deposited films was analyzed by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM), revealing the formation of homogeneous layers free of three-dimensional defects. The optical and emissive properties of the LB films were determined, with significant blue-shifted absorption spectra indicating the formation of two-dimensional H aggregates in the films. In addition, a significant Stokes shift in the excitation and emission spectra of the films is indicative of a distribution of molecular conformations around the long molecular axis in the solidlike monolayer environment. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies of single layer BPEBA LB films were performed. The tip−sample distance has been calibrated carefully to obtain I−V curves above the LB film. I−V curves are unexpectedly symmetrical in spite of the asymmetric contacts of the molecule with the tip and the substrate. Single molecule conductance for BPEBA has also been determined and the similarity of these results to I−V data for BPEBA incorporated in LB films indicates that lateral (intermolecular) conductance is negligible for electrical measurements using the STM configuration.
Article: Mixing behaviour of a conjugated molecular wire candidate and an insulating fatty acid within Langmuir–Blodgett films[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The miscibility of a conjugated "molecular wire" candidate and an "insulating" fatty acid within a thin film has been comprehensively analyzed. Specifically, Langmuir and Langmuir–Blodgett films containing mixtures of 4-[4′-(4″-hexyloxyphenylethynyl)-phenylethynyl]-aniline (HBPEB amine) and behenic acid (BA) have been prepared, characterized, and their miscibility compared with that of mixtures of 4-[4′-(4″-hexyloxyphenylethynyl)-phenylethynyl]-benzoic acid (HBPEB acid) and BA studied previously. Surface pressure vs. area per molecule isotherms were recorded, with negligible excess areas per molecule at high surface pressures suggesting either complete miscibility or immiscibility of the two materials. The Langmuir films were transferred onto solid supports to fabricate Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films which were characterized by SPM probe techniques. Scanning Polarization Force Microscopy (SPFM) undoubtedly shows good miscibility of the two materials in the films with no evidence of phase separation, in contrast with the HBPEB acid–BA system where phase separation occurs for HBPEB acid mole fractions over the 0.1–0.8 range.
Article: Langmuir–Blodgett films incorporating molecular wire candidates of ester-substituted oligo(phenylene–ethynylene) derivatives[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Langmuir and Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films of two "wire-like" oligo(phenylene–ethynylene) methyl ester derivatives, namely methyl-4-[(4″-(nonyloxyphenylethynyl)-4′-(phenylethynyl)]-benzoate and methyl-4-[(4″-hexadecyloxyphenylethynyl)-4′-(phenylethynyl]-benzoate (abbreviated as C9BPEB and C16BPEB), have been prepared and characterized. Surface pressure isotherms for both materials have been obtained, with C9BPEB showing more expanded monolayers. An analysis of the reflection spectra of monolayer films at the air–water interface suggests the formation of H-aggregates, and supports an organizational model in which tilt angles of C16BPEB and C9BPEB molecules with respect to the water surface are approximately 70° and 60°, respectively. The sequential transfer of monolayers of these BPEB ester derivatives onto solid substrates results in a Z-type deposition in the case of C9BPEB and Y-type for C16BPEB. The current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of LB monolayers are relatively symmetrical for both films, with the asymmetric contacts more evident in the I–V C16BPEB characteristics.
Article: The use of scanning polarization force microscopy to study the miscibility of a molecular wire candidate and an insulating fatty acid in mixed LB films[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Mixed films containing a conjugated "molecular wire" candidate and an "insulating" fatty acid have been prepared by the Langmuir–Blodgett technique. Specifically, this paper reports the fabrication of mixed films as well as miscibility studies of 4-[4-(4-hexyloxyphenylethynyl)phenylethynyl]benzoic acid (HBPEB) and docosanoic (or behenic) acid (BA). Surface pressure vs. area per molecule isotherms were recorded, with excess area and excess Gibbs energy of mixing calculated. Surface potential-area per molecule isotherms were also recorded for mixtures over the whole range of mole fractions, with negative deviations from the additivity rule revealing orientational changes induced in the HBPEB molecules. The Langmuir films were transferred onto solid supports and characterized by SPM techniques, with atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealing that well-ordered, defect-free films are obtained. The use of scanning polarization force microscopy (SPFM), which provides non-contact imaging based on differences in surface charge distribution, i.e., surface potential, provides complimentary information regarding distribution of the components within the mixed films. From the comprehensive miscibility study performed, which includes thermodynamic and imaging methods, it can be concluded that the wire-like molecule and the fatty acid are miscible over the 0–0.1 and 0.8–1 ranges of HBPEB mole fraction while phase separation occurs for HBPEB mole fractions over the 0.1–0.8 range.
Article: The synthesis and liquid crystalline behaviour of alkoxy‐substituted derivatives of 1,4‐bis(phenylethynyl)benzene[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Despite the prevalence of organised 1,4‐bis(phenylethynyl)benzene derivatives in molecular electronics, the interest in the photophysics of these systems and the common occurrence of phenylethynyl moeties in molecules that exhibit liquid crystalline phases, the phase behaviour of simple alkoxy‐substituted 1,4‐bis(phenylethynyl)benzene derivatives has not yet been described. Two series of 1,4‐bis(phenylethynyl)benzene derivatives, i.e. 1‐[(4′‐alkoxy)phenylethynyl]‐4‐(phenylethynyl)benzenes (5a–5f) and methyl 4‐[(4″‐alkoxy)phenylethynyl‐4′‐(phenylethynyl)] benzoates (18a–18f) [alkoxy = n‐C4H9 (a), n‐C6H13 (b), n‐C9H19 (c), n‐C12H25 (d), n‐C14H29 (e), n‐C16H33 (f)] have been prepared and characterised. Both series have good chemical stability at temperatures up to 210°C, the derivatives featuring the methyl ester head‐group (18a–18f) offering rather higher melting points and generally stabilising a more diverse range of mesophases at higher temperatures than those found for the simpler compounds (5a–5f). Smectic phases are stabilised by the longer alkoxy substituents, whereas for short and intermediate chain lengths of the simpler system (5a–5c) nematic phases dominate. Diffraction analysis was used to identify the SmBhex phase in (5d–5f) that is stable within a temperature range of approximately 120–140°C. The relationships between the organisation of molecules within these moderate temperature liquid crystalline phases and other self‐organised states (e.g. Langmuir‐Blodgett films) remain to be explored.
Article: Characterization and Conductivity of Langmuir–Blodgett Films Prepared from an Amine-Substituted Oligo(phenylene ethynylene)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: This paper reports the assembly of well-defined molecular films from 4-[4-(4-hexyloxyphenylethynyl)-phenylethynyl]-aniline (HBPEB amine), an oligomeric phenylene ethynylene (OPE) derivative, by means of the Langmuir–Blodgett technique. Initially, Langmuir films of HBPEB amine were prepared at the air–water interface and characterized with surface pressure vs area per molecule isotherms. Brewster Angle Microscopy was used to map the different phases of the monolayer at the air–water interface. UV–vis reflection spectroscopy showed a blue shift of 20 nm of the reflection spectrum of the Langmuir film with respect to the spectrum of a chloroform solution of HBPEB amine, which indicates that two-dimensional H-aggregates are formed at the air–water interface. The monolayers were transferred onto solid substrates with a Y-type deposition and a transfer ratio of 1. The excellent transfer characteristics permitted the construction of films comprising up to 150 layers, with a uniform architecture. The LB films fabricated from HBPEB amine show a blue shift of ca. 30 nm with respect to the chloroform solution of HBPEB amine, likely arising from a change in the orientation of the molecular transition dipole with respect to the surface normal in the solid-supported films in comparison with the Langmuir films at the air–water interface. The current–voltage (I−V) characteristics of LB monolayers are unexpectedly symmetrical, the asymmetric contacts not being apparent from the observed I−V characteristics.

Article: Preparation of Ordered Films Containing a Phenylene Ethynylene Oligomer by the Langmuir−Blodgett Technique[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: This paper reports the fabrication and characterization of Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films incorporating an oligo(phenylene-ethynylene) (OPE) derivative, namely, 4-[4-(4-hexyloxyphenylethynyl)-phenylethynyl]-benzoic acid (HBPEB). Conditions appropriate for deposition of monolayers of HBPEB at the air-water interface have been established and the resulting Langmuir films characterized by a combination of surface pressure and surface potential versus area per molecule isotherms, Brewster angle microscopy, and ultraviolet reflection spectroscopy. The Langmuir films are readily transferred onto solid substrates, and one-layer LB films transferred at several surface pressures onto mica substrates have been analyzed by means of atomic force microscopy, from which it can be concluded that 14 mN/m is an optimum surface pressure of transference, giving well-ordered homogeneous films without three-dimensional defects and a low surface roughness. The optical and emissive properties of the LB films have been determined with significant blue-shifted absorption spectra indicating formation of two-dimensional H aggregates and a Stokes shift illustrating the effects of the solid-like environment on the molecular chromophore.
Article: Solid Phase and Solution Phase Structural Characterization of Pyrene‐Based, T‐Shaped Molecular Dyads[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Structural solid-phase and solution-phase properties of two pyrene-spiropyran molecular dyads are described. Each dyad comprises a 1,1′-[indole-4,6-diylbis(ethyne-2,1-diyl)]bis(pyrene) backbone, with the bis(pyrene) and spiropyran units adopting a T-shaped arrangement. The strength of the Cspiro–O bond is altered by replacement of H by NO2 in the terminal aryl group of the spiropyran unit. X-ray crystal structure determinations carried out for two of the dyads (H and NO2) reveal the pyrene groups to be aligned anti to each other. The crystal packing diagrams are different; both contain pyrene π-stacked centro-symmetric dimers, but in one structure this is the total extent of the π stacking whereas the other structure has pyrene dimers interleaved to generate infinite parallel stacks. Detailed 1H NOE experiments are consistent with a solution-phase structure that differs markedly from the solid-state structure, and in which the pyrene groups are syn to one another but orientated away from the spiropyran group. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007)
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: A molecular dyad has been synthesized in which the main chromophore is a 1,4-diethynylated benzene residue terminated with pyrene moieties, this latter unit acting as a single chromophore. A spiropyran group has been condensed to the central phenylene ring so as to position a weak electron donor close to the pyrene unit. Illumination of the pyrene-based chromophore leads to formation of a fluorescent exciplex in polar solvents but pyrene-like fluorescence is observed in nonpolar solvents. The exciplex has a lifetime of a few nanoseconds and undergoes intersystem crossing to the pyrene-like triplet state with low efficiency. Attaching a 4-nitrobenzene group to the open end of the spiropyran unit creates a new route for decay of the exciplex whereby the triplet state of the spiropyran is formed. Nonradiative decay of this latter species results in ring opening to form the corresponding merocyanine species. Rate constants for the various steps have been obtained from time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy carried out over a modest temperature range. Under visible light illumination, the merocyanine form reverts to the original spiropyran geometry so that the cycle is closed. Energy transfer from the pyrene chromophore to the merocyanine unit leads to an increased rate of ring closure and serves to push the steady-state composition in favor of the spiropyran form.
Article: Preparation and Characterization of Langmuir and Langmuir−Blodgett Films from a Nitrile-Terminated Tolan[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Langmuir and Langmuir−Blodgett films of a nitrile-terminated tolan, namely 4-[4'-decyloxyphenylethynyl]benzonitrile, have been fabricated and characterized at various surface pressures, with surface pressure and surface potential isotherms together with Brewster angle microscopy being used to map the different phases of the tolan monolayer at the air−water interface. The Langmuir films have been characterized by UV−vis spectroscopy, with quantitative analysis of the reflection spectra supporting an organizational model in which compression of the film leads to change in the tilt angle of the tolan molecules from an initial value of ca. 35° to one of ca. 60° before collapse of the monolayer. Moreover, a blue shift in the reflection spectrum of the Langmuir film of 30 nm with respect to the spectrum of a chloroform solution of the nitrile tolan indicates that two-dimensional H-aggregates are formed at the air−water interface. These structures represent a minimum free-energy conformation for the system, as they are observed even before the compression process starts. The monolayers are transferred undisturbed onto solid substrates, with atomic force microscopy revealing well-ordered films without three-dimensional defects.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The torsional motions of jet-cooled 1,4-bis(phenylethynyl)benzene (BPEB), a prototype molecular wire, were studied using cavity ring-down spectroscopy in the first UV absorption band (316-321 nm). The torsional spectrum of 1,4-bis(phenylethynyl)-2,3,5,6-tetradeuteriobenzene was also recorded in the gas phase. Both spectra were successfully simulated using simple cosine potentials to describe the torsional motions. The ground-state barrier to rotation was estimated to be 220-235 cm(-1), which is similar to that of diphenylacetylene (tolane). Complementary DFT calculations were found to overestimate the torsional barrier.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The gold complexes Au(C≡CC6H4C≡CC6H4Me)(PPh3) (3) and {Au(PPh3)}2(μ-C≡CC6H4C≡CC6H4C≡CC6H4C≡C) (6), prepared from the reaction of AuCl(PPh3) with the corresponding terminal or trimethylsilyl protected alkynes, react readily with Ru3(CO)10(μ-dppm) to afford phenylene ethynylene derivatives featuring the Ru3(μ-AuPPh3)(μ-C2R)(CO)7 cluster "end-caps". The hydrido cluster Ru3(μ-H)(μ-C2C6H4C≡CC6H4Me)(CO)7 (4a) has also been obtained. There are significant differences in the absorption spectra of the organic precursors, the gold complexes and the clusters indicate a mixing of electronic states between the cluster and phenylene ethynylene moieties, while the presence of the Ru3 and in particular Ru3(μ-AuPPh3) cluster end-caps leads to a quenching of the phenylene ethynylene centred emission. The crystallographically determined structures of 3, 4a and Ru3(μ-AuPPh3) (μ-C2C6H4C≡CC6H4Me)(CO)7 (4b) are reported.
Article: A simple "palladium-free" synthesis of phenyleneethynylene-based molecular materials revisited[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Nucleophilic attack of acetylide anions at the two carbonyl moieties of para-quinones readily affords the corresponding diols. Subsequent reduction with stannous chloride affords a number of useful compounds, including 1,4-bis[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]benzene, 1,4-bis[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]naphthalene and 9,10-bis[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]anthracene. Sequential attack by different acetylide anions followed by reduction provides a useful route to differentially substituted compounds including 1-[(4-nonyloxyphenyl)ethynyl]-4-(phenylethynyl)benzene, a new luminescent liquid-crystalline material.
Article: Optical properties of donor-acceptor phenylene-ethynylene systems containing the 6-methylpyran-2-one group as an acceptor[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Donor-acceptor phenylene ethynylene systems containing the 6-methylpyran-2-one group, synthesized via classic or microwave-assisted Sonogashira cross-coupling, exhibit pronounced solvatochromism in fluorescence suggesting a highly polar excited state; 4-[4-(4-N,N-dihexylaminophenylethynyl)phenylethynyl]-6-methylpyran-2-one has a fluorescence quantum yield >0.9 in cyclohexane.
Article: Synthesis, optical properties, crystal structures and phase behaviour of selectively fluorinated 1,4-bis(4?-pyridylethynyl)benzenes, 4-(phenylethynyl)pyridines and 9,10-bis(4?-pyridylethynyl)anthracene, and a Zn(NO3)2 coordination polymer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: A series of selectively fluorinated and non-fluorinated rigid rods based on the 4-pyridylethynyl group, namely 1,4-bis(4′-pyridylethynyl)benzene (1a), 1,4-bis(4′-pyridylethynyl)tetrafluorobenzene (1b), 1,4-bis(2′,3′,5′,6′-tetrafluoropyridylethynyl)benzene (1c), 1,4-bis(2′,3′,5′,6′-tetrafluoropyridylethynyl)tetrafluorobenzene (1d), 9,10-bis(4′-pyridylethynyl)anthracene (2), 4-(pentafluorophenylethynyl)pyridine (3a) and 4-(phenylethynyl)tetrafluoropyridine (3b) were prepared in good yields using Pd/Cu-catalysed Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions and/or lithium chemistry involving nucleophilic aromatic substitution. UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectra for 1a–d and 2 are reported. The X-ray crystal structures of 1b, 1c, 2, 3a and 3b show a variety of packing motifs, none of which involve arene–perfluoroarene stacking. The phase behaviour of 1a–1c has been studied by differential thermal analysis and transmitted polarised light microscopy. Compound 1b exhibits an ordered phase between 227.6 and 272.5 °C which is either hexatic B or crystal B. A 1 ∶ 1 complex (4) between 1b and Zn(NO3)2 has been prepared; its crystal structure consists of zig-zag polymer chains held together by hydrogen bonds.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The discipline of metallomesogens has been actively investigated in the past decade. Recent research has focused mainly on building up basic knowledge by exploring new shapes. The interest comprises both the molecular and supramolecular level. Important results are the generation of helical superstructures or the discovery of a McMillan phase. Different approaches include lanthanide complexes, specially designed ligands and polymeric compounds. Applications have been proposed on the basis of the optical, mechanical and electronic properties of these materials. Up to now, the only true application is in solid state chemistry where some lyotropic metallomesogens are used as templates for mesoporous materials.
