How we're fighting conflict and fragility where poverty is deepest
For the first time in history, the number of people living in extreme poverty has fallen below 10%. The world has never been as ambitious about development as it is today. After adopting the Sustainable Development Goals and signing the Paris climate deal at the end of 2015, the global community is now looking into the best and most effective ways of reaching these milestones. In this five-part series I will discuss what the World Bank Group is doing and what we are planning to do in key areas that are critical for ending poverty by 2030: good governance, gender equality, conflict and fragility, creating jobs, and, finally, preventing and adapting to climate change.
By 2030, more than half of the world's poorest people will live in very poor countries that are fragile, affected by conflict, or experience high levels of violence
These are places where governments cannot adequately provide even basic services and security, where economic activity is paralyzed and where development is the most difficult. It is also where poverty is deepest. The problems these countries face don't respect borders. About half of the world's 20 million refugees are from poor countries. Many more are displaced within their own country.

Ending poverty means closing the gaps between women and men
For the first time in history, the number of people living in extreme poverty has fallen below 10%. The world has never been as ambitious about development as it is today. After adopting the Sustainable Development Goals and signing the Paris climate deal at the end of 2015, the global community is now looking into the best and most effective ways of reaching these milestones. In this five-part series I will discuss what the World Bank Group is doing and what we are planning to do in key areas that are critical for ending poverty by 2030: good governance, gender equality, conflict and fragility, creating jobs, and, finally, preventing and adapting to climate change.
The world is a better place for women and girls in 2016 than even a decade ago. But not for everyone, and definitely not everywhere: This is especially true in the world's poorest, most fragile countries.
It's also particularly true regarding women's economic opportunities. Gender gaps in employment, business, and access to finance hold back not just individuals but whole economies—at a time when we sorely need to boost growth and create new jobs globally.

African countries come together to address gaps in managing digital information for open government
On April 22 and April 29, 2016 representatives from Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Sierre Leone, South Africa, and Tanzania came together in a virtual South-South Knowledge exchange hosted by the World Bank in collaboration with the Open Government Partnership to discuss an issue of mounting concern: managing records and information to support open government. These countries – committed to the goal of open government, and a number with new right to information laws and open data initiatives - were motivated by increasing recognition that their commitments to make information open cannot be fully realized until they increase their capacity to manage records and information, especially the growing amount of information in digital form.
Why investing in forests is money—and time-- well spent
It is widely acknowledged that reducing emissions from deforestation could bring about one-third of the greenhouse gas emission reductions we need by 2030 to stay on a 2-degrees trajectory. But protecting and managing forests wisely does not only make sense from a climate perspective. It is also smart for the economy. Forests are key economic resources in tropical countries. Protecting them would increase resilience to climate change, reduce poverty and help preserve invaluable biodiversity.
Here are just a few facts to illustrate why forests are so important. First, forests provide us with ecosystem services like pollination of food crops, water and air filtration, and protection against floods and erosion. Forests are also home for about 1.3 billion people worldwide who depend on forest resources for their livelihood. Locally, forests contribute to the rainfall needed to sustain food production over time. When forests are destroyed, humanity is robbed of these benefits.
The New Climate Economy report shows us that economic growth and cutting carbon emissions can be mutually reinforcing. We need more innovation and we need more investments in a low carbon direction. This requires some fundamental choices of public policy, and the transformation will not be easy. However, it is possible and indeed the only path to sustained growth and development. If land uses are productive and energy systems are efficient, they will both drive strong economic growth and reduce carbon intensity.
Already, the world's large tropical forest countries are taking action.
After the Adolescent Girls Initiative: Recommendations for Future Research
Five of the eight AGI pilots were able to successfully embed a rigorous impact evaluation design. We also had a centralized research team that ensured standardization of the research objectives and methods as much as possible. You can access the papers from the individual pilots on our website, and you can download useful documents such as our evaluation concept notes, list of core indicators, and survey instrument in our Resource Guide.
Here are some key recommendations for further research:
Unbundle evaluation designs and provide cost-benefit information by project component. AGI evaluations weren't able to compare the relative impact of technical training versus life skills training or measure the impacts of specific project strategies, such as mentoring or placement assistance. Similarly, we can say very little about disaggregated costs of these components.
Have a cash-only evaluation arm. Youth employment interventions of all kinds are under pressure to demonstrate that their impacts are larger than what could be achieved through giving cash directly. See, for example, this relevant blog post from Chris Blattman. As part of this agenda we also need to understand the differential impacts of cash provision on young men and women.
Determine the optimal composition, intensity, and delivery of different mixes of skills. This is particularly true for life skills training, which tends to be much more heterogeneous across contexts and is far less expensive to implement than technical or business skills. Related questions around the appropriate age to focus on different types of skills and whether training works better in sex-segregated classrooms will aid in designing the next generation of youth employment programs.
Test strategies for job placement. Progress has been made in improving the delivery of skills training and in helping youth start businesses, but much less is known about how to cost-effectively assist youth to find and retain wage jobs. Interventions—some implemented in AGI pilots—that deserve more testing include:
- Variations in the length and intensity of job placement support: Most AGI interventions included three to five months of placement support;
- Performance-based contracts for the training providers, as used in both the Liberia and Nepal AGI pilots, though these have not been tested rigorously;
- Wage subsidies, as tested among young female community college graduates in the Jordan AGI, which achieved significant short-term gains but no long-term impact;
- Partnerships with large firms to create custom training programs.
Untangle the relationships between young women's labor and health outcomes. The AGIs in Liberia and Nepal, using a technical and vocational education and training (TVET) model, did not have significant impacts on sexual behaviors or health outcomes, while the Uganda girls' club-based approach dramatically lowered fertility and increased condom use. One distinguishing factor about the Uganda project was that it worked with younger girls, starting at age 14. Another important question to answer is whether there is an optimal age threshold or whether there are other conditions under which skills training projects can affect sexual behaviors.
Why regional integration is so important for resource-driven diversification in Africa
Natural resources management, particularly in the extractives industry, can make a meaningful contribution to a country's economic growth when it leads to linkages to the broader economy. To maximize the economic benefits of extractives, the sector needs to broaden its use of non-mining goods and services and policymakers need to ensure that the sectors infrastructure needs are closely aligned with those of the country's development plans.
In Africa, especially, mining and other companies that handle natural resources traditionally provide their own power, railways, roads, and services to run their operations. This "enclave" approach to infrastructure development is not always aligned with national infrastructure development plans.
In Liberia, mourning the lives lost to Ebola is just beginning
Tears cascade down her face as she embraces the mound, her cheek pressed to the dirt, a body six feet below. She wails, screams, bends backward and then throws herself back on the grave, again and again. A wreath sheathed in plastic nestles below a simple cross marker with a name and a date: April 24, 2015 -- marking one of the 4,809 lives claimed by Ebola in Liberia.
Improving the quality of skills training: What the Adolescent Girls Initiative pilots can teach us
The Adolescent Girls Initiative (AGI) through its eight pilots taught us a great deal about how to make skills training more female-friendly and support young women's transition to productive employment. In addition to all the lessons we learned about working with young women, the pilots also taught us a lot about how to improve the overall quality of skills training.
Our Top 5 quality enhancement lessons, along with links to more information, can be found online in our Resource Guide and here:
Lesson 1: Skills training projects need to set realistic expectations for self-employment versus wage employment. In contexts with limited opportunities for wage employment, skills training projects should help orient youth to the likelihood of self-employment and develop content suitable to different levels of aspiration in that sphere. In Liberia, for example, we offered a job skills track and a business skills track. We ended up having to gradually reduce the size of the job skills track from 35 percent of trainees in Round 1 to just 18 percent in Round 3 after our impact evaluation showed the employment rate in the business skills track was much stronger. This wasn't easy—it involved changing the orientation of the client, the training providers, and the girls themselves.
Lesson 2: Involving the private sector can improve the market relevance and overall effectiveness of training. AGI pilots partnered with the private sector in the implementation arrangements by hiring private companies to provide training tailored to the needs of a specific firm/sector—as in the Rwanda AGI—and by hiring private sector training and employment service companies to deliver training and assist with job placement—as in Haiti, Liberia, and Nepal. We also took low-cost steps to engage the private sector throughout implementation. For example, the Liberia AGI organized Private Sector Working Groups to provide routine guidance on project activities and enlisted members of the private sector to inspire the trainees by serving as guest speakers in the classroom.
Lesson 3: Post-training support is critical and must be planned and budgeted for early on. Even Getting the training up and running always seems like priority number one, but over the course of implementing the AGI pilots we learned that we needed to do a better job planning and budgeting for more structured and intensive post-training support from the very beginning of each project. The AGI pilots provided three to six months of post-training job placement assistance—such as internships, job search coaching, and so on—or business advisory services—such as business mentoring and check-ins, linkages to micro-franchises and business capital, etc. The exact balance of classroom training versus placement support hasn't been rigorously tested, but our experience suggests this support can really help trainees put their new skills to use in the labor market. An extended follow-up period may be particularly important for young women just entering the labor market or breaking into non-traditional trades.
Lesson 4: Improving the monitoring and verification of employment outcomes is essential if we want to improve employment outcomes in skills training projects. Many projects don't monitor attendance or performance during training, let alone keep track of participants after training ends. AGI pilots monitored business and job performance and verified employment outcomes up to six months after classroom training ended. The pilots relied on self-reporting by service providers, then verified these claims among a random sample of trainees (about 25 percent) by talking with employers, local women, and community members, and by accessing the trainee's business records. The percentage of employed youth in the sample was then extrapolated to the population that the training provider claimed to be employed. In Liberia and Nepal, where pilots implemented results-based contracts, this extrapolation was used as a basis for the final payment. Any inaccurate claims by training providers proportionally reduced their payment and could jeopardize eligibility for future rounds of training. In the Resource Guide, you can download the employment/business verification strategy from the Liberia AGI, as well as tools for monitoring and placement verification.
Lesson 5: Performance-based incentives are operationally feasible—even in fragile settings—and seem to improve outcomes, though this is an area for more rigorous testing. We used results-based contracts for training providers in the relatively small program in Liberia, targeting 2,500 young women, as well as in the Nepal AGI, which was embedded in a larger program that trains 15,000 youth annually. Both projects achieved impressive results and we hypothesize that the performance incentives for the service providers accounts for this in part.
A forthcoming and final blog in this series will address recommendations for future learning and research from the AGI.
Smackdown: Provide the people of Africa with training, or with cold, hard cash?
In recent years, growing evidence supports the value of cash transfers. Research demonstrates that cash transfers lead to productive investments (in Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia), that they improve human capital investments for children (in Burkina Faso, Tanzania, Lesotho, Zambia, and Malawi), and that they don't get spent on alcohol (all over the world).
At the same time, the vast majority of governments invest large sums in training programs, whether business training for entrepreneurs or vocational training for youth, with the goal of helping to increase incomes and opportunities.

We've all heard about the ridiculous center field, home run celebration that the new Marlins Park in Miami would have. We've heard that there were going to be goldfish behind the plate. But now, we have actual, live proof. Check out these pictures.
I....don't even know what to call this. It's tacky, it's ugly, it's....Miami. This is the type of thing I'd expect to see painted on the side of a building, not in a professional sports stadium. I appreciate the artist's effort, but is this really even necessary? More importantly, does it really need to be SO DAMN BIG? Look at the people to the left and right of the sculpture-type thing. They're tiny in comparison to this monstrosity.
Here's a long distance view of the sculpture to get a better view of it's size.
Yeah um, it stretches to near the top of the second deck of the stadium. Repeat: the top of the second deck. Is this a sick joke?
But I'm not done yet. What about the aquarium behind the plate? Oh yeah, we've got them too.
My honest question about the aquariums....how are they going to feed the fish? Is there going to be some sort of panel on the top that can be unscrewed and have food get dumped in? That's what I'd assume, but I really hope they took that into account. Otherwise, we could have dead fish floating in the tank, which would be typical of this organization....and yes, it would make me laugh pretty hard, even if the poor fish didn't deserve this.

Both descend from it to the water; and both were returning to it after the act of baptism was performed, when the Spirit caught away Philip from the eyes of the eunuch, who went on his way rejoicing. How far he was instrumental in spreading the Gospel among his countrymen we know not; for our information of the planting of Christianity-in Abyssinia and Sennaar (the region about Meroe) dates only from the fourth century. But his story is most memorable as a leading example of individual conversion and as a lesson not to limit God's methods of working it. Meanwhile Philip went on his mission to the cities of the Philistine plain, from Azotus (Ashdod) where he was again first seen, through all the maritime region as far as Cassarea.60 At that city he seems to have fixed his abode; for we find him there, eighteen or nineteen years later, receiving Paul and his companions into his house, on their final journey to Jerusalem. He was still remembered as one "of the Seven," but was also distinguished by the title of " Evangelist;" and he had four daughters endowed with prophetic gifts.61 We are not without some indication of the date of these transactions.

*Tidal Wave of Bulgarians, Romanians to Swamp Britain
Nick Francis
The Sun
A tidal wave of Romanian and Bulgarian immigrants is threatening to swamp Britain — and flood our overstretched jobs market.
An EU law means that from 2014, more than 29 million people from the two countries will be entitled to apply for any UK job.
Many Romanians and Bulgarians are already free to come here if they have a guarantee of UK work before they leave their home country.
But many thousands more are here working illegally for cash. One, Romanian Parafeni Vasile, 36, earns up to £130 for a day's labouring. And he predicted: "All my friends will come in 2014. Why not?"
He is one of hundreds of Bulgarians and Romanians who gather each day in the car park at DIY retailer Wickes in Tottenham, North London. Our investigators watched as white vans pulled up from time to time to take one of the men off to work on a building site.
Bulgarian Alex Marios admitted: "The number of men outside Wickes grows all the time. When I arrived three years ago, it was about 15 men. Now it can be 150."
Romanian Nicholas Aorgh, 34, said: "At home I earn £200 a month. I can earn £250 a week here.
"We already have a better life here working for cash, so when we can get National Insurance numbers it will bring everybody over."
Without an NI number, it is impossible to earn legal wages, pay taxes or receive benefits.
At the moment, Romanians and Bulgarians wishing to come to Britain can obtain one only if they they have a guaranteed job before they arrive.
But the Government has to lift that employment restriction by January 1, 2014.
Britain currently takes in around 200,000 immigrants a year, including 40,000 Romanians and Bulgarians.
The Government argues that most of the people from those countries who want to come to the UK are already here — so the law change will not have a bad effect on the jobs market.
But it has got its immigration figures wrong before.
In 2004, when the EU expanded to include countries including Poland, officials predicted fewer than 20,000 people would arrive from the new countries.

I have a test UIWebView. I loaded a small amount of custom HTML into it. Nothing special -- two pages, a little text, and a small image on one of the pages. I am using it to test out the class.
One problem I am having is that my ability to zoom in and out is very limited. It seems that even if I set the minimumZoomScale and maximumZoomScale properties of the UIWebView's UIScrollView, something resets them to a factor of 1.5 or smaller ratio. And if I try to set them often, the app gets very unhappy and is prone to crash.
Can anyone explain what is going on?

This was a wonderful evening! The music was extremely well done, The choreography was great and the costumes were unbelievably fabulous. Beach Blanket Babylon is a must-see.
My wife and I thought this was one of our favorite stops. Very Funny! The cast and their costures are so enjoyable.
Amazing, nonstop comedy and music from start to stop.
So glad I went.
We thought it was great fun. Loved the costumes and music was great.
As the song says - 'If you're going to San Francisco' - this is a MUST DO. Very topical, great talent, hilarious. Get there early. Best revue I have ever seen.
Noel T and Carol A Australia
We had a wonderful time at Beach Blanket Babylon! I am a former cast member and was blessed to have our seats upgraded and to meet with some of my friends who are still on cast. The show was awesome but the time spent with the cast, crew and director was PRICELESS!!!
Terrific show!
This was absolutely one of the most creative and entertaining shows my wife, daughter, and I have ever seen. And we've seen a few. The talent on that stage was incredible. If you are in San Fran, do yourself a big favor and see the Beach Blanket Babylon Show. Fantastic music and huge laughs. Loved it.
Absolutely great time. Clean and funny show.
Absolutely outstanding!! One of the funniest, most engaging shows I hae ever seen. We couldnt stop laughing for 90 minutes. Excellently done by the cast.
What a show! So timely and entertaining.
An excellent show. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Would recommend anyone to go and see this
This was an excellent show! My family of four went the first night in town and we loved it. My children are 21 and 23 and at first they were questioning me about the show, and did not know what to expect. I did not know what to expect either. They thought it was going to be a boring play, but we were all so surprised how funny and entertaining it was! Would recommend this to anyone between the ages of 21 and 100!
And if we return to San Francisco will see it again!
great show, would recommend to everyone.
This is a must see in San Francisco. Great entertainment
This is a MUST SEE! So fun, so much energy, and so much laughter until our sides hurt! We had a front row seat so it can't get any better than that. We would see this again as it keeps current with events and characters!
Best musical comedy ever!
This was my 2nd time to BBB, I enjoyed it just as much as the 1st time. Took my 21 year old grandson and he really got a kick out of it. Very timely.
Outstanding show. Would not however have know to see it if a good friend didn't suggest going. Was worth the price of admission and added to our great week in the San Francisco area.
Great show!
Great show as always. Smooth entry - no problem with voucher.
Entertaining, very funny
It was a great show - I'd recommend it to anyone planning a trip to San Francisco!
This was our first show on first night in San Francsco, and what a great welcome it was.... What great enthusiasm, costume, voices and HUGE Hats! Thank you Beach Blanket Babylon performers and staff. Catrina and Tim ! Cincy ohio

Expert: Real estate 'shadow inventory' a myth
TEMPE, Ariz. – There's a big myth going around about Valley real estate, an expert said.
Right now, there are about 8,800 homes for sale in the Phoenix area, compared with 50,000 in 2008. Many people believe the low number is because banks are holding foreclosed homes off of the market in an effort to drive up Valley home prices.
Professor Michael Orr of the ASU Real Estate Studies Department doesn't believe that.
"I actually keep a file of exactly what houses the banks own and what they're doing with them," he said. "When you actually count them out, it's a relatively trivial amount that they actually own that they haven't already listed for sale."
As for banks having a so-called "shadow inventory," Orr said it's just not in the cards.
"It's not possible," he said. "To own a house, you have to have a deed. A trustee doing the foreclosure writes a deed and records it with the county. You can get those and examine them and see when the bank disposes of the property. It's not really 'in the shadows,' it's public information."
Orr said buyers shouldn't be worried that Valley housing prices will plummet when banks flood the market with foreclosures to sell because it's not going to happen.
"It's a bit like the Y2K problem," he said. "Everyone was really was really scared about that, but when [the year 2000] came around, nothing happened."
Orr said the same will be true for Valley real estate.

Dixie is So Gay: Surprising Census Info About Gay Parents in the South
The Times has a great piece today that defies a lot of the common stereotypes of what it means to be gay in America. Since 1990, the Census has been a gold mine of information about LGBT couples for creative demographers. Despite the lack of any question about sexual orientation (hence, no info on single LGBT Americans), the 2010 Census looked at married gay couples for the first time.
Times reporter Sabrinia Tavernise interviews UCLA demographer Gary Gates in this article, who challenges the idea that LGBT Americans are "all rich white guys" living in West Hollywood or the West Village. Based on recent Census findings, the article states:
- Raising children by same-sex couples in the South is more common than in any other region in the country
- Gay couples in Southern states like Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas are more likely to be raising children than their counterparts on the West Coast, in New York and in New England. (That's right -- Little Rock may just be a more common place for gay parenting than Little Italy.)

- Black or Latino gay couples are twice as likely as whites to be raising children.
- A large number of gay couples, possibly a majority, entered into their current relationship after first having children with partners in heterosexual relationships
- Gay men who have children do so an average of three years earlier than heterosexual men. (Listen up, straight guys: the gays are beating you at your main game here!)
- There are approximately 581,000 same-sex couples in the United States
- About a third of lesbians are parents, and a fifth of gay men are. (The article is a little unclear about whether this number refers to all LGBT Americans or just those in relationships, but either way, it's a huge number.)
- San Antonio, Texas is the city with the highest rate of gay couples raising children (34 percent), with Jacksonville Florida right behind at 32 percent (the setting for Tavernise's story)
UCLA also produced a 2008 study of LGBT families in New York City, which utilized data from the 2000 Census. That study looks at same-sex headed families in the five boroughs and has some counter-intuitive findings about money, sexual orientation, and who's choosing to have families in our city.

2004 Jetta TDI, 125K, Pads are fine. When you pump the brake pedal 2 or 3 times it looses -for lack of a better term- power brakes. the pedal becomes Hard, like you no longer have power brakes. I have no idea how this VW works, but it's as though you've exhaused the reserve of vaccum in the brake booster and it can't replenish the supply fast enough. First pedal push is always fine. and you can ride the brakes for an extended stop without this problem happening. only happens after you've pumped the brakes 3 or so times, then you get the hard pedal and braking is SIGNIFICANTLY reduced. Any ideas? Thanks,
Loss of Power Brakes on 2004 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
The nation's largest network of independent repair shops certified for expert training, quality work and fair pricing
1 answer
There is a vacuum pump for the Diesel Engine Jetta that powers up the Vacuum Brake Booster. I would test that to make sure that it is working at full strength. Then make sure that the Brake Booster Check valve is holding enough vacuum, it may leak or not hold vacuum properly when you apply the Brakes, so that could be why the pedal gets really hard.
Here is a web site that has very good repair info for your car.
Hope that this helps!

(Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...
And donations made to a state or municipality are fully tax deductible.
Somebody's generous. A whole bunch of somebodies, in fact...
If things turn out the way they look. This is going to be one hell of an embarrassment for Obama.
How soon before a Perkins Coie attorney, disguised as an independent counsel determines this fund to be illegal?
I'm definitely going to help out. They need our help!
Oh aren't you the smart one! LOL
Shush! ;^)
the POS 0dumbo and any and all who caclled Az racist etc for this deserve more than embarrassment
BUT in reading the suit I see the Feds claim that just because there is a federal law doesn't mean the federal government WILL enforce it and the Feds reserve the right to decide that someone illegal really isn't
I am afraid we are f**ked
Congrats to whomever put a half million of their money where their mouth is.
Wow !
I thought it was a bunch of people donating various amounts.I donated a bit.
I am afraid we are f**ked
I'd like to see Arizona's response before I'd be willing to make that call.
hard to argue that the Feds don't have a say in whether they choose to enforce their own laws or not
Have you read the lawsuit?
It will make you sick. among other things it says Az can't start turning people over to the feds since that will make hte feds too busy to handle the other states
and it says the Az law has caused mexico to issue a travel warning and that hurts our foreign relations
this is on top of the 0dumbo saying the feds have the right to not follow their own laws.
I donated as well.
Are there no pro bono (no pun intended) lawyers out there willing to step up to the plate? Even in a lesser capacity?
I wouldn't put it past the rat party to slip something into an unrelated piece of legislation that will remove that deductability for the state of Arizona only.
hard to argue that the Feds dont have a say in whether they choose to enforce their own laws or not
Except for that pesky US Constitution:
Article IV, Section 4 - Republican governmentHave you read the lawsuit?
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
No, I haven't. Reading the claims from one side in a dispute, especially absent any response from the other side, can be misleading at best.
It will make you sick.
I don't need to read it for it to make me sick.
among other things it says Az cant start turning people over to the feds since that will make hte feds too busy to handle the other states
The feds claiming that doesn't mean that a court will accept it.
it says the Az law has caused mexico to issue a travel warning and that hurts our foreign relations
Too bad. I'd suspect that claim is likely to be considered irrelevant.
this is on top of the 0dumbo saying the feds have the right to not follow their own laws.
His claiming that doesn't make it true.
Be funny if the Judge sent gov't lawyer to jail for ''contempt with malice aforethought''.
"And donations made to a state or municipality are fully tax deductible."
That might be true and it might not be:
"Please Note: The State of Arizona provides no opinion as to whether donations to the Border Security and Immigration Legal Defense fund are deductible for federal income tax purposes. A donor may wish to consult a tax professional for advice."
However, many of our donations to good causes aren't tax deductible like my $/day to Free Republic, and donations to NRA and similiar causes.
I will be donating on the 17 of July (due to cash flow re SS, retirement pay and other incomes). I may make a monthly autopayment until this is settled.
Not sure about this verbage, but the contributions accelerated AFTER the suit was filed. A distinction with a difference. I suspect AP was trying to downplay that.

Visual hemineglect, the failure to explore the half of space, real or imagined, contralateral to a cerebral lesion with respect to body or head, can be seen as an illustration of the brain's Euclidean representation of the left/right axis. Here we present two patients with left-sided neglect, in whom only the left hemispace in front of an imagined and/or real body position was inaccessible, but the space behind them remained fully represented. These observations suggest that of the three Euclidean dimensions (up/down, left/right, and front/back), at least the latter two are modularly and separately represented in the human brain.

Skyclan was banished from the clans... glad they moved though, they found a so much better place and this is nessary for firestar's quest. Go firestar!
This book is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A cold, full moon shown down on a forest, battered by rain. Far below on the muddy ground, a lone queen trudged along, carrying the body of a kit that twitches feebley every once and a while. The queen's green eyes were downcast, raw with greif and horrer. Long pink claw marks stretched down her flank. If one came apon her, it would be clear that she was once beautiful, but that time had passed. Her once lusterous gray pelt, flecked with black now hung raggedly on her body. She had just buried the body of her third kit. The previous two had died, and the kit she carried in her jaws was the last alive. It drew in a shuddering breath, and then stopped moving alltogether. The queen layed him down and began franticlly licking him. After some time, it wad clear that he too was dead. The queen threw back her head back and wailed in anguish. "No! No! Not you too, Blotch! You can't die too!" She buried her son, sobbing, and then stumbled on. Hours passed. She did not feel the rain. She did not hear the thunder. She tripped over a root and did not get up. What was the point in trying to livr now? She had lost everything. Her mate, her family, and now, her kits. She closed her eyes. Soon it would be over... "no dusk! You can't give up !" An all too familiar voice wailed. She opened her eyes too see her mate Storm standing over her. "Storm... am i dead?" she asked. "No, but you are close. You must get up and keep moving!" He commanded. " Why? You and my kits are gone. I have no purpose." She said. "The kits are safe with me." He mewed." Dusk looked up joyously to see four kittens frolicking at her mate's feet. "Before you can join us here, there is something you must do. Find other cats like you. I will guide you. You will live together as a clan, bound by a code of loyalty and honor. This is your purpose. This is your task." He mewed and then dissapeared. Dusk pulled herself up with a renewed sense of vigor. She would find these cats and create a clan. She would create Stormclan. ------well thats it for now. I need to know people are reading it for me to krep writing. If u wanna read more, post " dusk chapter two" id also appreciate it if u tell me ur thoughts. The next chapter will be created on the reveiws section of mistystars omen. I hope u enjoyed my story so far! - Duskstar
First off, why do you even ask people to join your so called "clans" like if you know better this is where you post on how the BOOK is not random stuff. Why don't you go to AnimalJam where there are clans, packs, groups. Etc. And you can rp there!! So what by the name of Starclan do you need to rp here?! Anyway, just got this book and I just CAN'T put it down. Erin Hunter is a really imagitive and adventures author and I love her books. Before I first read Into the Wild, I barley ever read anything but when I started I started reading the whole series and every special edition!! Erin Hunter, YOUR EPIC!!
Be warned the book is only 99 pages.It's a very short but very good story.
I found the first Warrior book had a kittypet named Rusty - the name of my cat and I bought. I was intrigued and ordered the rest of the series and a few more. All the books are interesting and I see the cats with their problems like the world and it's countries and human populations. Always one person or a group grasping for power, etc. Excellent reads!
Hey everyone! I was ready to start up this newspaper agaib when- I was locke out of every single result I had ever posted in. Luckily, this was not one of them. I will be continuing, but I need someone to advertise this at Tigerclaw's Fury, that this is the new publishing place.
Before I read this, I didn't know much about SkyClan or Cloudstar or how they were driven out except from what I read from "Firestar's Quest." After reading this, you'll really love the ancient SkyClan, and the sacrifices they made in a desperate attempt to survive the twolegs. If the ancient SkyClan knew about the other clans being driven out by twolegs, I'm sure they'd laugh in the faces of the other clan leaders from their time.
Pshh u rpers

The SBS meeting marked the U.S. launch of Reinnervate's alvetex® cell culture scaffold for 3-D in vitro cell growth. Initially marketed in Europe in a 12-well plate format, alvetex is now available as 6-well and 12-well inserts. It is supplied as a gamma-irradiated, ready-to-use polystyrene membrane and can be optimized for specific cell types and applications. Users can control the degree of penetration within the 3-D structure and optimize the culture format and parameters to support long-term cell culture. The new well inserts allow cells to be fed simultaneously from above and below. They fit into multiwell plates or into insert holders designed to fit into a Petri dish.
Jens Kelm, head of product management and co-founder of InSphero, presented a tutorial on the benefits of using 3-D microtissue models for screening to evaluate drug efficacy and toxicity. InSphero developed an assay-ready microtissue mass production technology that generates 3-D microtissues of various tissue types containing 100–5,000 cells, without the use of a scaffold. Customers can purchase standard microtissues or provide InSphero with their own cell lines. The company recently introduced tumor microtissue models for colon, liver, prostate, and kidney cancer.
The Automation Partnership recently announced a name change to TAP Biosystems. The company also introduced a 96-well version of its RAFT™ (Real Architecture for 3D Tissue™) system for generating multi-cellular 3-D collagen-based tissue models.
Kuraray's micro-space cell culture plate designed to support 3-D cell growth is currently available in Japan and will be introduced to the European and U.S. markets in early to mid-2012.
GE Healthcare introduced the IN Cell Analyzer 6000 high-content cellular-analysis system, which features a variable iris-like aperture, laser-based confocal system that is fully adjustable and controlled via a user interface to maximize speed, image quality, and performance channel-by-channel for a particular assay. It can range from widefield to full confocal imaging. The new Investigator 2.0 software platform supports the IN Cell Analyzer 6000.
Genedata Screening® 9, new from Genedata, features an enhanced user interface that allows for simultaneous processing of multiple dose-response assays and new display capabilities for high-content screening that enable users to view images and accompanying data together, making it easier to identify outliers and to streamline the process of going from plate to well to image. Images are generated as an experiment is under way, allowing users to visualize the kinetics and optimize assay parameters.
Promega featured oncology-related drug discovery tools including its ADP-Glo™ Max homogeneous luminescent assay for measuring ATPase or kinase activity. The company's GSH/GSSF-Glo™ assay quantifies total glutathione, GSSG levels, and GSH/GSSG ratios in cultured cells as a measure of oxidative stress and an indicator of a toxicologic drug response. The bioluminescent histonedeacetylase (HDAC) assay is designed for cell-based screening of HDAC enzyme activity and potential inhibitors of these epigenetic modifiers.
PerkinElmer added 12 new reagents to its AlphaLISA® platform for epigenetics research. The homogeneous proximity immunoassays measure methylation or acetylation and can accommodate full-length histones and nucleosomes.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?
