Egypt's leader imposes state of emergency in 3 cities

A day after 37 people were killed in protests, chaos erupted among the thousands who walked to mourn them. Meanwhile, President Morsi declared a state of emergency. NBC's Ayman Moyeldin reports.

CAIRO - Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi declared a month-long state of emergency on Sunday in three cities along the Suez Canal which have been the focus of anti-government violence that has killed dozens of people over the past four days.

?

Seven people were shot dead and hundreds were injured in Port Said on Sunday during the funerals of 33 protesters killed at the weekend. A total of 49 people have been killed in demonstrations around the country since Thursday and Morsi's opponents have called for more protests on Monday.?

"Down, down Morsi, down down the regime that killed and tortured us!" people in Port Said chanted as the coffins of those killed on Saturday were carried through the streets.

?

In a televised address, Morsi said a nightly curfew would be introduced in Port Said, Ismailia and Suez, starting Monday evening. He also called for dialogue with top politicians. About 200 people protested in Ismailia after the announcement.

"The protection of the nation is the responsibility of everyone. We will confront any threat to its security with force and firmness within the remit of the law," the president said, adding that he offered condolences to families of the victims of those who died in the cities.

In Cairo the newly appointed interior minister Mohamed Ibrahim was ejected from the funeral of one of the police officers who died during Saturday's clashes in Port Said, according to witnesses and police sources.

---

A police officer at the funeral said many of his colleagues blame the interior minister on the deaths of at least two policemen during Saturday's clashes as he did not allow the police there to carry weapons and were only given teargas bombs.

?

State television said seven people died from gunshot wounds on Sunday. Port Said's head of hospitals, Abdel Rahman Farag, told Reuters more than 400 people had suffered from teargas inhalation, while 38 were wounded by gunshots.

Gunshots had killed many of the 33 who died on Saturday when residents went on the rampage after a court sentenced 21 people, mostly from the Mediterranean port, to death for their role in deadly soccer violence at a stadium there last year.

A military source said many people in Port Said, which lies next to the increasingly lawless Sinai Peninsula, possess guns because they do not trust the authorities to protect them. However it was not clear who was behind the deaths and injuries.

In Cairo, police fired teargas at dozens at protesters throwing stones and petrol bombs in a fourth day of clashes over what demonstrators there and in other cities say is a power grab by Islamists two years after Hosni Mubarak was overthrown.

In Ismaila city, which lies on the Suez Canal between the cities of Suez and Port Said, police also fired teargas at protesters attacking a police station with petrol bombs and stones, according to witnesses and a security source there.

The protesters accuse Morsi, elected in June with the support of his Muslim Brotherhood group, of betraying the democratic goals of the revolution. Most of the deaths since Thursday were in Port Said and Suez, both cities where the army has now been deployed.

The violence adds to the daunting task facing Morsi as he tries to fix a beleaguered economy and cool tempers before a parliamentary election expected in the next few months which is supposed to cement Egypt's transition to democracy.

Deep rift
It has exposed a deep rift in the nation. Liberals and other opponents accuse Morsi of failing to deliver on economic promises and say he has not lived up to pledges to represent all Egyptians. His backers say the opposition is seeking to topple Egypt's first freely elected leader by undemocratic means.

Heba Morayef of Human Rights Watch in Cairo said a state of emergency reintroduced laws that gave police sweeping powers of arrest "purely because (people) look suspicious".

"It is a classic knee jerk reaction to think the emergency law will help bring security," she said. "It gives so much discretion to the Ministry of Interior that it ends up causing more abuse which in turn causes more anger."

The opposition Popular Current and other groups have called for more protests on Monday to mark what was one of the bloodiest days of the 2011 uprising.

On a bridge close to Tahrir Square, youths hurled stones at police in riot gear who fired teargas to push them back towards the square, the cauldron of the uprising that erupted on January 25, 2011 and toppled Mubarak 18 days later.?

"None of the revolution's goals have been realized," said Mohamed Sami, a protester in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Sunday.

"Prices are going up. The blood of Egyptians is being spilt in the streets because of neglect and corruption and because the Muslim Brotherhood is ruling Egypt for their own interests."

Clashes also erupted in other streets near the square. The U.S. and British embassies, both close to Tahrir, said they were closed for public business on Sunday, normally a working day.

The army, Egypt's interim ruler until Morsi's election, was sent back onto the streets to restore order in Port Said and Suez, which both lie on the Suez canal. In Suez, at least eight people were killed in clashes with police.

Many ordinary Egyptians are frustrated by the violence that have hurt the economy and their livelihoods.

"They are not revolutionaries protesting," said taxi driver Kamal Hassan, 30, referring to those gathered in Tahrir. "They are thugs destroying the country."

Call for dialogue
The National Defence Council, headed by Morsi, called on Saturday for national dialogue to discuss political differences.

That offer has been cautiously welcomed by the opposition National Salvation Front. But the coalition has demanded a clear agenda and guarantees that any agreements will be implemented.

The Front, formed late last year when Morsi provoked protests and violence by expanding his powers and driving through an Islamist-tinged constitution, has threatened to boycott the parliamentary poll and call for more protests if its demands are not met, including for an early presidential vote.

Egypt's transition has been blighted from the outset by political rows and turbulence on the streets that have driven investors out and kept many tourists away. Its currency, the pound, has steadily weakened against the dollar.

Why are there redheads? Birds might hold the clues

Jan. 28, 2013 ? Red coloration -- historically seen as costly in vertebrates -- might represent some physiological benefit after all, according to research published in the journal Physiological and Biochemical Zoology.

Pheomelanin, which is responsible for red hair and freckles in humans and orange and chestnut coloration in other animals, is known to increase the damage to skin cells and melanoma risk when present in large amounts. Furthermore, its creation involves the consumption of glutathione, a beneficial antioxidant.

In an attempt to unearth the factors favoring the evolution of pheomelanin in spite of its costs, Ismael Galv?n and Anders P. M?ller of the University of Paris-Sud examined the survival from one breeding season to the next of a wild European population of barn swallows, as well as the annual survival rates of 58 species of American birds.

A recent hypothesis claims that the consumption of cysteine (a component of glutathione) that occurs when pheomelanin is produced can be beneficial under conditions of low stress. Cysteine, which is mainly acquired through diet, can be toxic at high levels, so the production of pheomelanin may help to sequester excess quantities of this amino acid.

Galv?n and M?ller measured birds' blood levels of uric acid and analyzed the coloration of their chestnut throat feathers (an indication of pheomelanin content). When they compared birds that had similar uric acid levels (and therefore similar capacities to excrete excess amino acids), they found that both the European barn swallows and the American birds with larger amounts of pheomelanin in their feathers survived better.

This study is the first to propose that the costs/benefits of pheomelanin may depend on prevailing environmental conditions, and its results suggest that the production of this pigment may even be beneficial in some circumstances. Given that all higher vertebrates, including humans, present pheomelanin in skin, pelage, and plumage, Galv?n and M?ller's findings increase the scant current knowledge on the physiological consequences of pheomelanin and open new avenues for research that will help us understand the evolution of pigmentation.

Daytrading, Stock Trading, Investing and Forex Trading ? How It's ...

Many thousands of traders are welcoming stock trading Bots to do the logical work for them. There are some stunning stocktrading robots out there which are rapidly changing the way that pro traders perform their analysing, too, so here is the proper way to find one of the finest of the finest. Personally I would recommend that you go with one of the low priced stock centered trading Bots. These programs only target penny stocks and shares and deliver literally the best stock picks to be found in the market because penny stocks and shares have a name of incredibly jumping in worth in a short term due to their less expensive costs leave them open to more trading influence from the outside.

Discipline and focus were infrequently out playing some other place. In this time he spotted things about himself and his feelings that might have an effect on his trading. Everything was O.K but new he needed aid to work on some of his convictions and any potential to self sabotage. Two years on Bill has just finished at Pete?s Plumbing. A perspective coach and new tools helped him with those limiting convictions and his capability to stay centered and trained thru any conditions.

I checked back in the following day and discovered that that investment had jumped to $.38 a share in the past day. I acquired up about thousand shares thru an internet trade account. It eventually and temporarily topped off at $.57 at which point I took a conservative approach and got out with a decent profit of $370 on $180, so tripling my original investment. At about that point I continue to test in on that stock constantly as it continued to continuously climb. They also are superb for more recent, less professional traders without the experience who are looking at getting into the market as this is a good example of how strong analytic software can be. As the more well capable you are on the language then you may become even more successful. * There are new technologies out there now that will seriously increase the chances for successful securities dealing. The best thing about the stock dealing software is the undeniable fact that they're programmed to recognise the trends and advise you of which stocks are probably going to be good to make an investment in. They also are comparatively cheap and simple to utilize. If you're think about making an investment in a stock market dealing software then it'd be to your benefit to learn all you are able to about the varied type and the good points and bad points of every one before purchasing one.

Hospital: 61 killed in Venezuela prison riot

Dedwinson Alvarez / AFP - Getty Images

Members of the National Guard take shelter during a riot outside Uribana Prison in Barquisimeto, Lara state, Venezuela, on Friday. Dozens were killed in a classh at the prison, local media reported.

By Jorge Rueda, The Associated Press

CARACAS, Venezuela --?The death toll has risen to 61 following fierce gunbattles between inmates and National Guard troops at a Venezuelan prison, a hospital director said Saturday. About 120 more people were wounded in one of the deadliest prison riots in the nation's recent history.

Penitentiary Service Minister Iris Varela said Saturday that officials had begun evacuating inmates from the Uribana prison in Barquisimeto and transferring them to other facilities, but she did not provide an official death toll.

However, Dr. Ruy Medina, director of Central Hospital in the city of Barquisimeto, told The Associated Press that the number of dead had risen to 61. He initially told Venezuelan news media after the Friday uprising that about 50 were killed.

Medina said that nearly all of the injuries were from gunshots and that 45 of the estimated 120 people who were wounded remained hospitalized. Some underwent surgeries for their wounds.

---

Relatives wept outside the prison during the violence, and cried at the morgue Saturday as they waited to identify bodies.

Nayibe Mendez, the mother of a 22-year-old inmate in the prison, told the AP that she was able to talk by phone with her son and he was uninjured.

"What they say is that there were shots all over the place, and they don't know where they came from," Mendez said. "It was a massacre. A full list hasn't come out of the dead and injured."

Mendez spoke by telephone from the morgue, where she said she went out of solidarity. "We're all hurt. No matter what, a prisoner has a right to live," she said, demanding that the authorities fully investigate what happened.

Varela said during a news conference that officials decided to evacuate all inmates from the prison in order to "close this chapter of violence." She did not provide any estimates of the numbers killed and injured, and instead criticized Venezuelan news media at length for their coverage of the violence.

Vice President Nicolas Maduro called the bloodshed tragic and said Prosecutor General Luisa Ortega Diaz and National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello would lead the investigation.

"The prisons have to be governed by law," Maduro said on television early Saturday.

The riot was the deadliest in nearly two decades. In 1994, more than 100 inmates died in the country's bloodiest prison on record, at a prison in the western city of Maracaibo. In 1994, about 60 inmates were killed in a riot in a Caracas prison.

Varela said that the violence erupted at Uribana prison on Friday when groups of inmates attacked National Guard troops who were attempting to carry out an inspection.

She said the government decided to send troops to search the prison after receiving reports of clashes between groups of inmates during the past two days.

Douglas Briceno said his nephew, who is held at the prison, was wounded in the foot during the shooting. "I think he's out of danger," Briceno told the AP. "I haven't been able to communicate with him because they don't let me pass to the prison."

Opposition leader Henrique Capriles condemned the government's handling of what he and many other critics call a growing crisis in the country's prisons.

"Our country's prisons are an example of the incapacity of this government and its leaders. They never solved the problem," Capriles said on his Twitter account. "How many more deaths do there have to be in the prisons for the government to acknowledge its failure and make changes?"

The riot at Uribana prison was the latest in a series of bloody clashes in the country's severely overcrowded prisons, where inmates often freely obtain weapons and drugs with the help of corrupt guards. Venezuela currently has 33 prisons built to hold about 12,000 inmates, but officials have said the prisons' population is about 47,000.

The Venezuelan Prisons Observatory, a watchdog group, said in a statement that in 2007 the Costa Rica-based Inter-American Court of Human Rights had ordered the government to seize weapons that inmates had in their possession at Uribana prison and to take measures to avoid deaths in the facility. The group called for the government to release a list with the names of the dead and wounded in Friday's violence, as well as details about weapons seized in the search.

"No one doubts that inspections are necessary procedures to guarantee prison conditions in line with international standards, but they can't be carried out with the warlike attitude as (authorities) have done it," said Humberto Prado, an activist who leads the prison watchdog group.

"It's clear that the inspection wasn't coordinated or put into practice as it should have been. It was evidently a disproportionate use of force," Prado told the AP.

His group says Uribana prison was built to hold up to 850 inmates but currently has about 1,400.

Similar though less deadly clashes have flared repeatedly during the past few years.

In April and May, a prison uprising in La Planta prison in Caracas blocked authorities from going inside for nearly three weeks. One prisoner was killed and five people were wounded, including two National Guard soldiers and three inmates.

Two months later, another riot broke out at a penitentiary in Merida, and the Venezuelan Prisons Observatory reported 30 killed.

In August, 25 people were killed and 43 wounded when two groups of inmates fought a gunbattle inside Yare I prison south of Caracas.

President Hugo Chavez's government has previous pledged improvements to the prison system, but opponents and activists say the government hasn't made progress.

Varela, the prisons minister, said news media including Globovision and a local newspaper had run reports on the inspection by authorities, which she said had in fact been a "trigger for the violence."

Prado denied that, saying: "The problem isn't the work of the media. The problem is that the government hasn't disarmed the prison population."

RolePlayGateway?

Mentoring Role Play.

So, I've done this a few times (and gotten a slightly large turn out) and I've been considering starting one up again, since I have down time, a stable Net, and, well, downtime.

What is a Mentoring Role Play?
A mentoring Roleplay is a roleplay in which you can receive help on certain things, like building a plot, building characters, advancing your post, and receiving (if you wish it) on your posts from your fellow roleplayers (or GM's).

Why?
I've seen a lot of people complain about not being confident in their role play abilities and, I feel, the best way to help is to get them all in a role playing setting. With the way Rem has set up the forum, we'd even be able to manage our own chat, so that there could be several different ways to Role play, with your GM's, fellow members, etc.

What am I hopin for?
I am hoping to get some interest started in this interest check, to see who would want this. I'd also like to draft a set of options, about what can be helped on and ways to get help, as well as pick a setting (Zombie setting, doesn't work). I think it can help everyone.

So. Whatcha think?

Azarenka wins back-to-back Australian titles

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) ? Victoria Azarenka won her second consecutive Australian Open title, beating Li Na 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in a dramatic final that contained a break for fireworks, two medical timeouts and a nasty fall to the court by Li.

The Chinese star first tumbled to the court after twisting her left ankle in the fifth game of the second set and had it taped.

On the first point after a 10-minute pause in the third set while fireworks boomed overhead from nearby Australia Day celebrations, Li fell over again and slammed the back of her head on the court. The 2011 French Open champion was treated and had another timeout before being allowed to resume the match.

Azarenka, who broke down in tears and sobbed into her towel when the match ended, won five of the next six games to claim her second major title and retain the No. 1 ranking.

"Unfortunately, you have to go through some rough patches to achieve great things. That's what makes it so special for me," she said. "I went through that, and I'm still able to kiss that beautiful trophy."

Serena Williams, who lost in the quarterfinals, will become the new No. 2 in the rankings.

The 2-hour, 40-minute match featured 16 service breaks, with Li losing her service nine times.

On a crisp Saturday night, Azarenka won the coin toss and elected to receive, a ploy that seemed to work when a nervous Li was broken to start the match. After a double fault on the first point, Li's forehand long gave Azarenka the early lead.

When she first injured her ankle, Li was trailing 3-1 in the second set. When she came back, she won three of the next four games to tie it 4-4, but Azarenka broke back and then held her serve.

Azarenka broke in the opening game of the final set, just two games before the match was suspended for the fireworks, a planned stoppage of play that both players were notified about before the match.

While Azarenka jogged around and practiced her serving motion during the 10-minute fireworks break, Li sat on her courtside chair for most of the stoppage.

It was on the first point that she again fell to the court.

Li said she went "totally black" for two seconds after her head hit the court, and when a medical official asked her to follow her finger, "I started laughing, thinking 'This is a tennis court, not like a hospital.'"

Li said the tournament doctor saw her after the match and checked out her head and neck.

"I should be OK,' Li said.

From the outset, the capacity crowd at Rod Laver Arena was firmly behind Li, cheering loudly when she was introduced. Meanwhile, Azarenka's errors were applauded, and one spectator even mocked the loud hooting sound she makes when she hits a shot.

The chill from the crowd was a remnant of Azarenka's semifinal win over American teenager Sloane Stephens, when Azarenka was criticized for taking a questionable 10-minute medical timeout near the end of the match. She was accused of taking the time out to compose herself after she'd wasted five match points while serving for the match against Stephens. Azarenka said she needed the time out because a rib injury was making it difficult for her to breathe and she had a knee injury.

In the second set Saturday, a few fans heckled Azarenka. One man yelled, "Take a deep breath, Vicky."

By the end of the match, she appeared to have won some of the fans back. Azarenka's friend, rapper Redfoo, yelled down to her from the player box "You deserve it," and she later blew kisses to the crowd. Someone else in the crowd shouted "Victoria, we love you."

Azarekna appeared to quickly forgive the crowd, saying during the trophy presentations that she wanted to thank the fans for their support.

"I will always keep very special memories of this court and it will be in my heart forever," she said, pausing several times to find the right words. "Of course, I (almost) forgot to say congratulations to Li Na, she's had a terrific start to the year ... hope to see you in many, many more finals."

Azarenka and Li had met twice before in Grand Slam tournaments, with Li winning both times ? in the fourth round of the 2011 Australian Open and quarterfinals at the French Open. Li lost the 2011 Australian Open final to Kim Clijsters but won her first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros a few months later, beating Francesca Schiavone.

But after failing to advance past the fourth round at any major in 2012, Li hired Carlos Rodriguez, Justine Henin's former coach. The hard training he's put her through in the past four months appears to be paying dividends.

Li won a WTA tournament in China before travelling to Australia, where she advanced to the semifinals at the Sydney International.

In the men's final on Sunday, Novak Djokovic will attempt to win his third consecutive Australian Open against U.S. Open champion Andy Murray. Djokovic has had the benefit of an extra day off after an easy three-set win over David Ferrer on Thursday night, while Murray needed a tough five-setter to defeat Roger Federer.

Murray has predicted a tough match with long rallies against Djokovic, the player he beat in the final at Flushing Meadows in September.

"I'm ready for the pain," he said. "I hope it's a painful match, that will mean it will be a good one."

In the other final Sunday to end the year's first Grand Slam, the unseeded pairs of Jarmila Gajdosova and Matthew Ebden of Australia and the Czech Republic's Lucie Hradecka and Frantisek Cermak play for the mixed doubles championship.

DNA and quantum dots: All that glitters is not gold

Jan. 25, 2013 ? A team of researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has shown that by bringing gold nanoparticles close to the dots and using a DNA template to control the distances, the intensity of a quantum dot's fluorescence can be predictably increased or decreased. This breakthrough opens a potential path to using quantum dots as a component in better photodetectors, chemical sensors and nanoscale lasers.

Anyone who has tried to tune a radio knows that moving their hands toward or away from the antenna can improve or ruin the reception. Although the reasons are well understood, controlling this strange effect is difficult, even with hundred-year-old radio technology. Similarly, nanotechnology researchers have been frustrated trying to control the light emitted from quantum dots, which brighten or dim with the proximity of other particles.

The NIST team developed ways to accurately and precisely place different kinds of nanoparticles near each other and to measure the behavior of the resulting nanoscale constructs. Because nanoparticle-based inventions may require multiple types of particles to work together, it is crucial to have reliable methods to assemble them and to understand how they interact.

The researchers looked at two types of nanoparticles, quantum dots, which glow with fluorescent light when illuminated, and gold nanoparticles, which have long been known to enhance the intensity of light around them. The two could work together to make nanoscale sensors built using rectangles of woven DNA strands, formed using a technique called "DNA origami."

These DNA rectangles can be engineered to capture different types of nanoparticles at specific locations with a precision of about one nanometer. Tiny changes in the distance between a quantum dot and a gold nanoparticle near one another on the rectangle cause the quantum dot to glow more or less brightly as it moves away from or toward the gold. Because these small movements can be easily detected by tracking the changes in the quantum dot's brightness, they can be used to reveal, for example, the presence of a particular chemical that is selectively attached to the DNA rectangle. However, getting it to work properly is complicated, says NIST's Alex Liddle.

"A quantum dot is highly sensitive to the distance between it and the gold, as well as the size, number and arrangement of the gold particles," says Liddle, a scientist with the NIST Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology. "These factors can boost its fluorescence, mask it or change how long its glow lasts. We wanted a way to measure these effects, which had never been done before."

Liddle and his colleagues made several groups of DNA rectangles, each with a different configuration of quantum dots and gold particles in a solution. Using a laser as a spotlight, the team was able to follow the movement of individual DNA rectangles in the liquid, and also could detect changes in the fluorescent lifetime of the quantum dots when they were close to gold particles of different sizes. They also showed that they could exactly predict the lifetime of the fluorescence of the quantum dot depending on the size of the nearby gold nanoparticles.

While their tracking technique was time consuming, Liddle says that the strength of their results will enable them to engineer the dots to have a specific desired lifetime. Moreover, the success of their tracking method could lead to better measurement methods.

"Our main goals for the future," he concludes, "are to build better nanoscale sensors using this approach and to develop the metrology necessary to measure their performance."

Dung beetles follow the Milky Way

Friday, January 25, 2013

You might expect dung beetles to keep their "noses to the ground," but they are actually incredibly attuned to the sky. A report published online on January 24 in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, shows that even on the darkest of nights, African ball-rolling insects are guided by the soft glow of the Milky Way.

While birds and humans are known to navigate by the stars, the discovery is the first convincing evidence for such abilities in insects, the researchers say. It is also the first known example of any animal getting around by the Milky Way as opposed to the stars.

"Even on clear, moonless nights, many dung beetles still manage to orientate along straight paths," said Marie Dacke of Lund University in Sweden. "This led us to suspect that the beetles exploit the starry sky for orientation?a feat that had, to our knowledge, never before been demonstrated in an insect."

Dacke and her colleagues found that dung beetles do transport their dung balls along straight paths under a starlit sky but lose the ability under overcast conditions. In a planetarium, the beetles stayed on track equally well under a full starlit sky and one showing only the diffuse streak of the Milky Way.

That makes sense, the researchers explain, because the night sky is sprinkled with stars, but the vast majority of those stars should be too dim for the beetles' tiny compound eyes to see.

The findings raise the possibility that other nocturnal insects might also use stars to guide them at night. On the other hand, dung beetles are pretty special. Upon locating a suitable dung pile, the beetles shape a piece of dung into a ball and roll it away in a straight line. That behavior guarantees them that they will not return to the dung pile, where they risk having their ball stolen by other beetles.

"Dung beetles are known to use celestial compass cues such as the sun, the moon, and the pattern of polarized light formed around these light sources to roll their balls of dung along straight paths," Dacke said. "Celestial compass cues dominate straight-line orientation in dung beetles so strongly that, to our knowledge, this is the only animal with a visual compass system that ignores the extra orientation precision that landmarks can offer."

###

The Straightforward Help Guide To Website Hosting | Culture

An outstanding site or online business might be made worthless from a terrible web hosting support. Should your knowledge about hosting citrix programming is restricted, the technical terms and web directories could become mind-boggling. When things get way too tangled, we regularly plan to just select nearly anything at random making a acquire. The following hints and tips provide you with valuable information on what to look for when picking a web web hosting service services, in order to make knowledgeable and economically audio selections.

Understand that hosting companies will offer you Microsoft windows, while others supply Linux only. There are some differences involving the functions of these two types, and you will use a small understanding process to get confident with utilizing them. Most of the time, a Linux hosting server are often more cost-effective for you personally on a monthly basis, in comparison with House windows.

A free of charge hosting support should be thought about cautiously. Whilst free of charge noises wonderful, it may not be this kind of wonderful offer afterwards. In case your website begins to pull off, you might be tied to a web number that are not able to take care of the increase. A no cost variety is the best way to spend less, but might end up charging you a lot if you have to swap hosts.

Ensure that the internet hosting enterprise which you use features a excellent record relevant to downtime, might it be for routine maintenance or other reasons. Your company is going to be negatively influenced by any downtime. If you have downtime, furthermore, it signifies that you can not gain access to your money.

In case you pick discussed or dedicated web hosting?

The parent of United Airlines reported a $620 million quarterly loss on Thursday as travelers stayed away following its problems earlier in the year with absorbing Continental.

It posted a full-year loss of $723 million, too, almost wiping out its $840 million profit from 2011.

The fourth-quarter loss worked out to $1.87 per share. Excluding special items the loss would have been 58 cents per share, matching expectations of analysts surveyed by FactSet.

Superstorm Sandy cut $85 million from its results in 2012's final quarter.

A year ago the company lost $138 million, or 42 cents per share.

United's switch to a single passenger-information system last year caused problems with its website and frustrated some of its most lucrative customers when they couldn't get upgrades to first-class seats. Some of its customer service workers at airports struggled with new software on their computers, creating long lines.

Those problems drove potential customers away. Traffic fell 3.2 percent in the fourth quarter. United reduced the amount of flying it did, too, so its planes were actually slightly fuller.

The company is aiming to put those issues behind it. It has said the technology issues are solved.

"With much of our integration behind us, our significantly improved operational performance and our increasing customer satisfaction, we can now go forward as one company," said Jeff Smisek, chairman, president, and CEO of United Continental Holdings Inc.

Revenue for the full year ticked up slightly to $37.15 billion.

"We see improvement this year and expect UAL to narrow the gap between itself and peers on revenue performance," S&P Capital IQ analyst Jim Corridore wrote in a note.

But he added that the company's "ongoing integration challenges keep us cautious on the shares, despite our positive view on the overall U.S. airline industry."

Shares of the Chicago-based United Continental Holdings Inc. rose 50 cents, or 2 percent, to $25.50 in midday trading after rising to a 52-week high of $26.37 in earlier.

Fed's Beige Book: Commercial Property Markets A Mixed Bag

Eight times a year, the Federal Reserve publishes a volume of ?anecdotal information on current market conditions? from each of the twelve Federal Reserve System districts across the US. ?They call it The Beige Book, which is what passes for a snappy title in governmental economic data publishing.

The latest edition of the Beige Book paints an unclear national picture of the commercial real estate market:

?Though a little weaker than residential real estate, reports on sales and leasing of nonresidential real estate are still mostly positive ? described as modest on average. The ?Boston District reported a drop in leasing beyond normal seasonal trends; contacts cited ?fiscal cliff uncertainty as a factor. Minneapolis and Kansas City reported increased ?demand and tightening commercial real estate markets. Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Dallas all reported more modest increases in nonresidential real estate activity. Nonresidential construction is weaker than residential, with only slight to modest growth. The Boston District reported that demand for commercial real estate loans appears to be ?softening and that the pipeline for new construction projects has diminished significantly ?since the last report. Dallas reported that construction was expected to pick up in the ?commercial real estate sector in 2013.?

A quick sampling of the commercial real estate statements and projections:

• Boston District:?Commercial real estate contacts are somewhat downbeat; office leasing is slow and demand for?commercial real estate loans and pipelines for commercial construction activity are weaker than in recent?reports. Residential real estate markets continue to recover, with both sales and prices in November above ?year-earlier levels. In all sectors, most respondents are holding their selling prices level. Contacts say their ?hiring depends on demand growth; as a result, most firms are doing little to no hiring, but some firms are ?expanding headcounts substantially. Notwithstanding ongoing concerns with uncertainty, contacts ?generally expect continued modest growth in 2013.

• New York District: ?Office markets were relatively stable in the final months of 2012. A commercial real estate?contact reports that the recovery from Sandy in Lower Manhattan has been slow, as a number of?buildings in the flood zone remained out of service at year end. More broadly, leasing and sales?activity across Manhattan were sluggish in November but picked up in December. Vacancy rates II-3?have been steady, while asking rents have edged up, led by brisk gains in Midtown South. Strong ?demand from the new media and advertising sectors and some pickup from legal services have offset ?weak demand from the financial sector. Elsewhere in the region, vacancy rates were little changed in the fourth quarter, though asking rents fell noticeably in northern New Jersey.

• Philadelphia District: ?Demand for business credit was steady or down slightly since our last report.?Some contacts cited a rise in the number of applications for commercial real estate loans and?refinancings, but on balance, demand was little changed across sectors and product categories.

• Minneapolis District:??Commercial real estate markets continued to tighten. A major commercial real?estate firm forecast that Minneapolis-St. Paul area office vacancy rates will dip to 17.7?percent at the end of 2012 compared with 19.1 percent at the end of 2011. The same firm?forecast industrial vacancy rates to drop to 9.9 percent from 11.2 percent. Residential real?estate market activity increased. Home sales in November were up 20 percent from the?same period a year ago in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area; the inventory of homes for sale?was down 29 percent, and median sale prices rose 17 percent. In the Sioux Falls area,?November home sales were up 20 percent, inventory was down 14 percent and the?median sale price increased 9 percent relative to a year earlier.

Retina, resolution, high definition ? what does it all mean for web ...

Around mid 2012 ?Apple launched its first line of MacBook Pro laptops?with retina displays. To most people that did not mean much. With a small market share, only those at the bleeding edge realised that their web-world was about to become both incredibly sharp and intolerably blurry at the same time.

Retina displays ? Apple?s catch-cry for its ultra high definition screens are not revolutionary, but it?s the way they brought them to the masses via a computer screen that was double the resolution of anything else on the market. With twice the pixels in width and height, the end result was a screen with effectively 4 times the pixel detail.

Sounds like gobbledygook and does it really matter? Well unless you are one of the early adopters, it probably won?t affect you? for now that is!

However new technology has a funny way of becoming the norm and before long we?ll all likely be surfing the web on super high-resolution screens as other manufacturers get on board and the viewing landscape changes. Anyone publishing anything online will need to adapt for this increased resolution.

What does it mean to me?

If you are a photographer or someone who enjoys viewing high-quality images? ? the increased resolution means that your photos appear sharper and clearer than ever before. Pixels are practically invisible even with your nose pressed up against the screen. High definition movies pop out of the screen. It makes for amazing clarity.

This applies equally to the written word. Text documents never looked this good! Text is so sharp and clear that when you get used to looking at this screen you will think that your old device was something made back in the dark ages. It is that crisp.

With increased resolution comes increased clarity, meaning poorer quality (read low-resolution) images look a whole lot worse. Images that you once thought were sharp can look soft and fuzzy on a retina display.

And there?s this great big thing called the internet which is brimming full of low-resolution images. Point this new monitor at any typical web-page and your eyes might start to hurt. Images and graphics look out of focus because most all were created for the old 72ppi (pixels per inch) standard whilst your shiny new retina screen is running at 220ppi.

Web developer nightmare

As a designer I am incredibly mindful of quality and precision. Up until now I?ve been designing for the average pixel resolution and the world has been clear and rosy. Enter the retina display and suddenly my crisp world has been turned upside down.

So why don?t we just create higher-res images to suit? Well for starters increasing an image in resolution means increasing its file-size. With the average user having practically zero patience online ? we all want things to appear in a few short seconds ? an increase in file size is going to hit website conversion rates as the average file weight of a web page needs to increase, thus the time to load? and our patience is tested.

I?m happy to wait a few more seconds so that I can experience a better quality image, but the average user probably wont have that patience especially if the vast majority are surfing the web on lower resolution devices that won?t benefit from an increased quality image.

So perhaps websites could show two different types of images -? a low-resolution image for the typical monitor and a higher resolution for retina users.

But this ads another step in a busy web-development schedule and potentially increases costs in web-development as all graphics/images/ logos have to be produced in two different sizes. Maintenance of said website can become painful especially with many businesses using Content Management Systems?and uploading their own images, possibly from non-retina devices that cannot tell the difference.?

What should online publishers do?

Some clever developers are ?modifying web code??to change image quality at either the server level or on the fly at the browser via all manner of code hacks.

Others are introducing apps and plugins such as WordPress?s WP Retina 2x?that perform? image resolution change based on your server environment.

And the majority are probably making a deliberate choice to keep images as they are until the rest of the industry plays catch-up and a new image resolution becomes standard.

When this tipping point will occur is anyone?s guess, but it would be prudent to consider what if any changes are needed to be done to your own website in light of Apple?s push into high-definition web surfing.

Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup | Picky Palate

I go in these crazy crock pot cooking phases where I use it all the time and I am loving it right now.? Last week I whipped up a giant pot of my Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup.? It?s warm, thick and complete comfort food in a bowl.

If you are having guests over, this is a great recipe to have.? It serves 12-16 and makes the best leftovers.? I enjoyed it for lunch for a few days and was happy as a clam

You can easily split the recipe if you don?t need to make such a massive amount, but I?ll warn you, it?s incredibly delicious and you?ll want the leftovers.

Let?s take a look at what you?ll need.

Here?s what you?ll need.? Remove one of those chicken broth cartons.? I only used one and the cheese and cilantro are just for garnishing, so you won?t need as much in the picture

Dice a large onion.

Cook them in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add some garlic.

Transfer right to a LARGE crock pot.? I?m talking at least a 5 quart.

I used one whole rotisserie chicken for this recipe.? Discard the skin then shred the meat.? It?s about 4 cups if you want to bake your own chicken.

Transfer the chicken pieces to the crock pot.

Add your chicken broth, 32 ounces please.

Pour in two 28 ounce size cans of green enchilada sauce and two 10 ounce size Rotel diced tomatoes.? Make sure both say MILD on the can.

I added two packages of cooked Spanish rice.? It thickened the soup so nicely, I definitely recommend it.? I used the Knorr Brand, but any of your favorite Spanish Rice will do.? If you?d like to make your own, use 4 cups.? I have a great Homemade Spanish Rice recipe HERE if you need one.? Scroll down past the tacos and you?ll see it.

Add a good handful of cumin and 8 ounces of sour cream.? Stir and let cook on low for 4-8 hours.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 rotisserie chicken, about 4 cups shredded (no skin)
• 32 ounces reduced sodium chicken broth
• Two 28 ounce cans mild green enchilada sauce
• Two 10 ounce cans Mild Rotel diced tomatoes with peppers
• 4 cups cooked spanish rice (I used 2 packages of Knorr Fiesta Rice)
• 3 tablespoons ground cumin
• 8 ounces sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese for topping
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves for topping
• 1 bag tortilla chips for topping

Directions

1. Heat oil in large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional minute. Transfer to a large 5 quart minimum crock pot with setting on low.
2. Add shredded chicken to crock pot along with chicken broth, enchilada sauce, tomatoes, rice, cumin and sour cream. Stir and let cook on low for 4-6 hours

Makes 12-16 Servings
