Mothers and their children sit among their washing in a refugee camp on the border between Syria and Turkey near the northern city of Azaz on Dec. 5, 2012. (ODD ANDERSEN/AFP/Getty Images) The sprawling collection of white tents pours down a muddy hillside packed with olive trees. There's a Turkish military outpost just a few hundred yards away, on the other side of the border fence, but this is as far as most Syrians fleeing north from the civil war wracking Syria are going to get, as Turkey blocks all but the most vulnerable from entering, having reached its sustainable limit. There's no snow yet, but the winter rain has turned the soft red dirt into a sea of mud.

DOYLINE, La. –  Crews were working again Wednesday to move millions of pounds of explosives that authorities said were improperly stored at a munitions recycling facility in north Louisiana. Though some of the material was found out in the open, authorities said there was little danger it could have been stolen from the former Army base that's still guarded by military police. State Police spokeswoman Julie Lewis said the materials are being moved to a safe location at the Camp Minden industrial site in Webster Parish. The town of Doyline remains under a voluntary evacuation, though officials said most residents had either stayed or returned to their homes. Authorities said about 6 million pounds of explosives was not stored in approved shelters at the facility operated by Explo Systems Inc. State police have opened a criminal investigation. Officials of Explo Systems have not responded to repeated requests for comment.

Excerpt:

(Financial Times) -- UBS will unveil a split of its struggling investment bank next week in a move that will prompt the loss of up to 10,000 jobs across the Swiss banking group. Switzerland's biggest bank by assets will bring large parts of its fixed income trading business into a non-core unit leaving a reduced investment bank with equities trading, foreign exchange and advisory roles. The non-core operation will be headed by Carsten Kengeter, current co-head of the investment bank, and will be wound down over time, two people close to the situation said. The split will lead to another reduction in risk-weighted assets of up to SFr100bn ($107bn) and will trigger the loss of thousands of jobs in the group's back office over the next few years. The job cuts will amount to almost a sixth of the bank's workforce of 63,500 at the end of June.

What Happens If Twinkies Really Do Go Away? | Redux

What Happens If Twinkies Really Do Go Away?

Let's not panic. We all know that Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Wonder bread and the rest of Hostess Brands' oddly everlasting foods aren't going away any time soon, even if the food culture that created them is gasping its last. Yes, Hostess is shutting down. And odds seem to favor the roughly century-old company disappearing from our corporate landscape. But before you rush out to stockpile a strategic Twinkie reserve, consider a few things. Namely, that Twinkies never die. You know full well that the snack cakes down at your corner 7-Eleven are going to outlive us all. Probably even after they've been consumed. And then there's the acquisition-happy nature of the business world, an environment that increasingly prizes intellectual property above all. It's hard to imagine the fading away of brands as storied and valuable as Ho Hos, Ring Dings and Yodels.
