Today we released our update to the World Economic Outlook.
An accumulation of recent data suggests that the global economic landscape started to shift in the second half of 2016. Developments since last summer indicate somewhat greater growth momentum coming into the new year in a number of important economies. Our earlier projection, that world growth will pick up from last year's lackluster pace in 2017 and 2018, therefore looks increasingly likely to be realized. At the same time, we see a wider dispersion of risks to this short-term forecast, with those risks still tilted to the downside. Uncertainty has risen. Continue reading

The Wearable Art Sale....
The Wearable Art Sale continues at Covent Garden Market on Saturday from 10 am - 6 pm, and Sunday, from 12 pm - 4 pm.
Hi there Shelley!
I love the first pic of you - What are those glasses? i can recall you wearing them or i don't remember you wearing them? Nice sweater indeed, isn't great when you find something spectacular and cheap, best feeling in the world!
Cool event, was it expensive? I love what you got yourself, the purse is fantastic !
We should get a few of those events soon in Montreal, X-mas is coming!
We had a busy weekend but i took time to do crafty things -
I tried to get in touch with my daughter, but she won't speak to me -I'm feeling a bit sad but nothing i can do about it - So today wearing lots of pattern and color - You will see it this week on my blog
Keep warm
There were some pretty expensive things at the show - the recycled fur bags were $100 - $300 and the multicoloured coat was $900, but my purse was only $20.
Mother-daughter relationships can be so difficult at times, as I was reminded this weekend. We can only live our own lives and hope that they want to be part of it.

Lets say I make a call to Smith, after searching my contacts. I put "smi" in the search box. The next time I need to search contacts, the letters "smi" are still there, making it necessary for me to tap the rectangle to open up a search box, delete "smi", then search. Does anyone know if there is a way to make it so my last search is not kept on the box? ie clear the box after each search.
That is indeed interesting. I have not had that happen to me. The worst I have had is that my search results still show up when I go to search again. I left it alone for a little bit and the results cleared on their own. Are you rooted or still stock??? If you are rooted I would say to try to clear the cache and see if that does not help.

Gwyneth Paltrow appeared on "Chelsea Lately" Tuesday to discuss her New York Times best-selling cookbook, but wound up dishing some family dirt instead.
Turns out, Paltrow's grandmother was "mean as hell," she said.
Handler brought up that they both had German grandmothers they called "Mutti," which means "mom" in German.
"My Mutti was a real b-tch," Handler said.
And then Paltrow called her nana a name you're not supposed to call any woman, let alone your grandmother (jump to 4:23):
"My grandmother was a real c—," Paltrow said.
"She just hated my guts, basically. She tried to poison my mother against me," Paltrow said, adding that it didn't work.
Coincidentally, Paltrow appeared on Tuesday's episode of "Glee" as well and was featured in a scene lecturing kids about the power of hurtful words. Guess the lesson didn't take.

The treatment of myofascial pelvic pain syndrome (MPPS) is multimodal and tailored to the individual patient. The general approach is to determine the trigger and then block or reduce ongoing stimuli that lead to pain. Most women will require a formalized program that includes pharmacologic treatment, physical therapy, and psychotherapy [1].
This topic will discuss the treatment of MPPS. Few large randomized trials have evaluated therapy of this disorder. Our approach is based on data from a few small trials and observational studies, as well as clinical experience. Many of these studies evaluated treatment of nonpelvic myofascial pain, such as myofascial pain associated with the back, neck, shoulder, or jaw. A limitation of observational studies of pain treatment is that patients may improve because of a true treatment effect, or because the natural history of the disease includes improvement in symptoms over time, or because of the Hawthorne effect (ie, improvement in symptoms simply because the patient is in a clinical trial) [2].
The clinical manifestations and diagnosis of MPPS are reviewed separately. (See "Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of myofascial pelvic pain syndrome in women".)
Since identification and elimination of a specific trigger may not be possible, adjunctive therapies that provide symptom relief are also important in breaking the cycle of pain and urogenital dysfunction. Simple interventions such as meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, and attention to sleep hygiene can help to relieve physical and emotional tension.
Primary treatment of MPPS involves manual myofascial release, stretching, and strengthening of affected areas via pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT). Ideally, PFPT is performed by a physical therapist with specialized training in soft tissue manipulation and rehabilitation of the pelvis. (See "Pelvic floor physical therapy for management of myofascial pelvic pain syndrome in women".)

Go with Mike Daniel from Coil. He did a board that I owned quite a few years back and it was amazing. Awesome shaper. Plus support your East Coast shapers. I bought an NSP 8'6" at a end of the year clearance in Sept. '12 and had I realized it was made in Thailand or somewhere, I would have looked elsewhere. The East Coast shapers will build a better board to suit the waves you ride.

Looks nice, real nice. The Honeycombs on the deck look different then some of the "kick" boards I have been seeing on Swaylocks. I wonder what the difference is? They looked like the had the same grid material under the "kick." Yours is the first I have seen that has the Honeycomb looking fiber. Did you order it that way? Hope you enjoy it, looking forward to reading your review.
Apr 9, 2013, 01:08 PM #80
Thanks man, it was a total surprise honestly, I didn't ask for anything specific but what I've been noticing is that no one board has been the same since they started using "kick", most everybody has gotten a slightly different board from what I can see, so i guess they are experimenting with some different looks

Police rescue 81 kidnapped migrants on Texas border
Authorities say an anonymous call led police to the two-story house, no arrests were made
Associated Press
MEXICO CITY — Mexican federal and state police have rescued 81 migrants who had apparently been kidnapped and held in a house on the border with Texas.
Tamaulipas state authorities said in a statement Wednesday that 39 migrants are from Honduras, 38 from Guatemala, three from EL Salvador and one from Mexico.
The statement says federal and state agents rescued the migrants from a two-story home in Reynosa, which is across the border from McAllen, Texas.
Authorities say an anonymous call led police to the house. No arrests were made.
Abductions of migrants are common in northeastern Mexico, an area controlled by the Zetas and the Gulf drug cartels. In 2010, the Zetas were blamed for the mass slaying of 72 migrants in northern Mexico.

Hi all, happy Doggy Day! Its Nichole here once again and I regret to report that this will be my last article posting over here (no fear - esp you Sue! - you can still find me on my own blog, as well as in the world of Ravelry, Facebook, etc). I have made the tough decision to bow out of the little group that runs Dogs on Thursday (Chan, Sue and Nat will still be here), as in the past month I've quickly realized that with my growing responsibilities at work and other things, I'm just not able to put the time in that I would like here. Sure, I could probably manage an article once a month and all, but I prefer not to do it half-arse, so to speak. I have told the girls that I'd be glad to pitch-hit when they need a hand now and then, so who knows... maybe I'll be back next month with another posting! In the meantime, I'm happy to bring you a very informative article on a subject that many of us doggy parents have had questions about... anal glands. I'd like to thank Tanya and Ashley at The Grooming Emporium for allowing me to reprint the following article, which was originally published in The Grooming Emporium's May 2009 newsletter.
by Ashley (email: Ashley at TheGroomingEmporium dot com)
Anal glands (also called anal sacs or scent glands) are located inside the anus of most carnivores, as well as a few other mammals. These glands secrete a foul smelling fluid-like material. Normally, as an animal defecates, the glands empty some of this material for the purpose of scent marking. When an animal is stressed or scared, he may express his anal glands resulting in a noticeable foul odor. Some animals, such as skunks and opossums, use these glands as a defense mechanism. Skunks are well known for spraying, whereas opossums voluntarily express their anal glands as they play dead (or "play possum"). The odor gives the opossum a rotting smell, making its act more believable to potential predators. Clearly these glands serve an important purpose to all kinds of animals, however, they can also become a nuisance.
The quality of your pet's food may contribute to problems with the anal glands. The glands are expressed physically as stool passes. If the stool is not firm enough, the glands will not properly express. Because many pet foods contain low quality ingredients and grains, they can cause softer, less bulky stools, which can lead to inadequate expression of the anal glands. Ideally, the pet will be fed a high quality food which may improve or resolve the issue completely. In addition, what a pet eats may effect the material that builds up in the glands. If the material is too thick it will be difficult to express and may block the duct that drains the material leading to impaction. Dogs are more likely to suffer from complications with their anal glands than cats, and small breeds are more likely to have problems than other dogs. Alternatively, pets with medical issues causing chronic soft stools or diarrhea may also have trouble expressing their anal glands. Some dogs may benefit from the addition of 100% canned pumpkin (which is a good source of fiber) to their diet. The fiber helps to firm up and add bulk to the stool, which in turn will help to express the glands. Another possible cause for anal gland problems is the positioning of the glands themselves. In some animals, the glands may be naturally situated in a way that they cannot express, or not express easily despite a proper diet and normal, firm stools. This is far less common, however, if you pet is affected he will need the glands expressed routinely to avoid complications. The frequency varies from pet to pet, and those who need their anal glands expressed more than once a month may benefit from having the glands surgically removed by a veterinarian.
There are several signs that your pet may need his anal glands expressed. A common, often misunderstood sign is scooting, or dragging the rear end on the ground. This is often believed to be a sign of intestinal parasites, however it is most often an attempt to relieve the discomfort of full anal glands. Many pets will excessively chew or lick at their hind end which can cause the glands to express a small amount of material and a foul odor may be noticed. Some pets will circle and chew at their tail, others may sit abruptly at times, which may be followed by scooting, licking, or chewing. These are all signs that the glands are full enough that they are causing the pet to be uncomfortable. If the pet is not given relief, complications can occur, sometimes in a short period of time. It's important to remember that individual pets will show different signs and watching for any sign of discomfort is important.
If the anal glands are not expressed they will become impacted. This leads to infection within the glands. The gland will become painful. If they are expressed at this point, the material may contain blood and pus. It will require veterinary treatment to heal properly, and in many cases requires a pet to be sedated to have the glands flushed. If the infection is overlooked, the infected glands will abscess. This is often noticed by the owner as a swelling next to the pet's anus. If left untreated, the abscess may rupture through the skin, leaving a sore and drainage through the opening. This is a very serious condition that needs to be treated, sometimes surgically, by a veterinarian. This is very painful for the pet and easily avoided, which is why a basic understanding of these glands is so important to every dog and cat owner.
Anal glands should only be expressed when the pet is having difficulty expressing them on his own. If he is not showing signs that the glands are full, then the glands should not be expressed. Some groomers express all dog's anal glands every time they come in from grooming. If this is done, it may reduce the dog's ability to express the glands on his own, eventually leading to complications if they are not expressed manually on a regular schedule. When selecting a groomer be sure to ask about this and request that your dog's anal glands are not expressed routinely if he is not having any problems. If a pet needs his anal glands expressed it is most successfully done internally rather than externally. Vets will typically express internally, though many groomers express externally, so it's important to check which method your groomer uses. Here at the Grooming Emporium, we have been trained by veterinary staff to express anal glands internally. After the glands have been expressed, the pet may continue to lick, chew, or scoot for a few days. This is normal, although if the behavior continues, it may be indicative of a more serious health issue that should be addressed by a veterinarian.

Thanks for publishing this very informative article. My dogs used to have anal gland problems and our vet used to charge us £18 a time for the pleasure of expressing them! Since moving over to the BARF diet we no longer have an issue....and apparently rabbit fur is very good for the problem, so if you're feeding raw rabbit.....feed whole!

Wow, thanks for this one! MaggieMae had done some scooting before and the vet said her glands needed expressed, which she did at the time. I found the pumpking added to the diet intersting. How often? I might try that, so she can have the relief naturally. Great article, and it will give me cause to research the subject more on the internet! Thanks so much!

Great article....Fuji's first vet wanted to express her every couple of weeks. I asked why because she never showed any problems and he said cuz she's a little dog....switched vets and she hasn't had it done since! No problems either. Now she has done the natural express one time when she got scared...and of course I was holding her at the time and got my brand new blouse stinky! Thanks for all your great work on this group!

Great article.
Snoopy suffers from anal gland problems ... she sometimes scoots and gives the Chief the uncomfortable-there's-something wrong-with-my-bum-bum look.
And thanks for the pumpkin tip. Must now tell chief to add pumpkin to our diet ...

Nobody really knows Pitt's fortunes with regards to the NCAA tournament field, but by all accounts the Panthers are somewhere on or near the bubble.
And given how much this team has struggled recently, there is no question that Saturday's game at Clemson is important, but there is some question as to whether it is of the "win and in or lose and out" variety.
Pitt coach Jamie Dixon said Thursday that he isn't focused on the bigger picture of trying to qualify for the NCAA tournament; he is just worried about trying to beat Clemson.
It is a message that seemingly has resonated with his players, though they acknowledge they must win as many games as possible to ensure they reach their goal of an NCAA tournament berth.
"We are just focused on what we can focus on, which is trying to get a win Saturday against Clemson and then trying to get some wins in the ACC tournament," said freshman Josh Newkirk. "We will let everything else take care of itself. We realize [the tournament situation], but we just want to focus on Saturday and like I said, let the other stuff take care of itself."
Dixon also acknowledged it is a big game for the Panthers (22-8, 10-7). They are tied with the Tigers (19-10, 10-7) in the standings, but he said the only way they can win is if they are focused on playing their best basketball.
"We have some things we need to get better at, and we are running out of time, and we understand that," Dixon said. "We obviously have a big game against Clemson. We know the stakes and we know what we are going for, but we have to play better than we did in our last game [against North Carolina State].
"We have to get back to defending well and rebounding. We have to rebound better because we didn't, and that caught up to us in our last game. But we know what we need to do -- it is obvious -- we need to go and play well, and I'd say there has never been a time when you went into your last game and didn't have to win for some reason."
Dixon said he hasn't studied the tournament projections enough to know where the Panthers stand.
"Here, we've talked about it, there have been times where we were in but [others said] it was doomsday," Dixon said. "We've had that question asked of us, but we were pretty safely in the field and that's been pretty consistent. So we've seen this before and you have to win no matter where you are because there isn't a lot of separation in a lot of spots."
The game is important if for no other reason than a victory would give Pitt the fifth seed in the ACC tournament. If they lose, they could fall to seventh if Florida State (18-11, 9-8) beats Syracuse Sunday. The Seminoles own the head-to-head tiebreaker against Pitt.
And while there isn't much difference among the teams Pitt would play in the quarterfinals Thursday as a the fifth, sixth or seventh seed, it would change who the Panthers would play in the semifinals should they advance.
The loss to North Carolina State hurt the Panthers because it dropped their RPI into the 50s, and for most national observers, that makes them a bubble team.
Junior guard Cameron Wright said the team's spirit and confidence are still high despite losing six of the past nine games. He said the Panthers know how important it is to beat Clemson and what it means in the grand scheme of things.
"This game is huge. We are in a must-win situation, so we have to go out and win a ballgame," Wright said. "We're well aware of the predicament that we put ourselves in with the way that we played. But it is March Madness for a reason and every team at some time in their school history has to travel this road, and unfortunately it is us this year. But we just have to go get it done."
On the injury front, Dixon said forward Mike Young continues to fight through some lower-back pain. Young will continue to receive treatment, Dixon said, and will continue to play. The coaches have explored options to ration his minutes as much as possible while still keeping him in the starting lineup.
"I didn't think he was going to go the last two games," Dixon said. "We know what it is; he is playing through it and he is battling and he seems to feel a little better the past two days. I'm proud of how tough he is through the pain and discomfort he is feeling."

Summary: AcrB/AcrD/AcrF family
Pfam includes annotations and additional family information from a range of different sources. These sources can be accessed via the tabs below.
The Pfam group coordinates the annotation of Pfam families in Wikipedia, but we have not yet assigned a Wikipedia article to this family. If you think that a particular Wikipedia article provides good annotation, please let us know.
This tab holds the annotation information that is stored in the Pfam database. As we move to using Wikipedia as our main source of annotation, the contents of this tab will be gradually replaced by the Wikipedia tab.
AcrB/AcrD/AcrF family Provide feedback
Members of this family are integral membrane proteins. Some are involved in drug resistance. AcrB cooperates with a membrane fusion protein, AcrA, and an outer membrane channel TolC. The structure shows the AcrB forms a homotrimer [1].

InterPro entry IPR001036
The Escherichia coli acrA and acrB genes encode a multi-drug efflux system that is believed to protect the bacterium against hydrophobic inhibitors [PUBMED:8407802]. The E. coli AcrB protein is a transporter that is energized by proton-motive force and that shows the widest substrate specificity among all known multidrug pumps, ranging from most of the currently used antibiotics, disinfectants, dyes, and detergents to simple solvents.
The structure of ligand-free AcrB shows that it is a homotrimer of 110kDa per subunit. Each subunit contains 12 transmembrane helices and two large periplasmic domains (each exceeding 300 residues) between helices 1 and 2, and helices 7 and 8. X-ray analysis of the overexpressed AcrB protein demonstrated that the three periplasmic domains form, in the centre, a funnel-like structure and a connected narrow (or closed) pore. The pore is opened to the periplasm through three vestibules located at subunit interfaces. These vestibules were proposed to allow direct access of drugs from the periplasm as well as the outer leaflet of the cytoplasmic membrane. The three transmembrane domains of AcrB protomers form a large, 30A-wide central cavity that spans the cytoplasmic membrane and extends to the cytoplasm
X-ray crystallographic structures of the trimeric AcrB pump from E. coli with four structurally diverse ligands demonstrated that three molecules of ligand bind simultaneously to the extremely large central cavity of 5000 cubic angstroms, primarily by hydrophobic, aromatic stacking and van der Waals interactions. Each ligand uses a slightly different subset of AcrB residues for binding. The bound ligand molecules often interact with each other, stabilising the binding.

Golden Rules For Sustainable Resource Management
This paper presents a simple model of resource management that combines use of a nonrenewable resource, such as oil, with eventual transition to a backstop substitute resource in infinite supply (e.g., solar energy). In the context of this model, we derive golden rules that govern efficiency in both the accumulation of capital and in the extraction of natural resources for use in production. These results supplement the Solow/Hartwick model of maximum consumption in helping to illuminate the notion of sustainable development.

Tonight the Knicks began a three game West Coast road stand with a trip to Sacramento. The Knicks who are coming off a six game losing streak, once again started slow, yet this time were able to overcome the deficit and pull out a win.
Final Score: NY Knicks (4-8) 113 Sacramento Kings (3-7) 106
It seems to be too early in the season to declare games as must wins, although in the case of the NY Knicks, they must put together a few wins after starting the season with a 3-8 record and compiling a six game losing streak. After a huge win tonight, the Knicks move on to Golden State and then LA to face the Warriors and Clippers before coming back East.
As we have become accustomed to, the Knicks have come out very slow and put together a poor offensive first quarter. The Knicks are clearly struggling to put together an offensive skeem early in the game and are forced to play catch up. Luckily for them tonight they play a team who is also struggling with their own five game losing streak so they were able to come out on top. As we have seen recently with veteran teams such as the Nuggets or Rockets, the Knicks can not afford to rely on three quarters of strong play rather then four.
The Knicks who totaled just fourteen points in the first quarter were carried by a strong second quarter performance from Danilo Gallinari (15 points in 2nd) and were able to put forty points on the board.
The key to the Knicks victory was simple. The took just fifteen three pointers and attacked the hoop on almost every possession. Clearly they have not been able to shoot the long ball as they are known for and it is important for them to attack the basket and limit long distance shots as much as possible. It is disappointing that it took them seven games to figure that out, though the season is still early and if they begin to shoot well they can become a very dangerous team.
The Knicks were led by Stoudemire and Gallinari who both had twenty-seven points. Amar'e also added ten rebounds to his stat sheet. The Kings were led by their young gun Tyreke Evans who had twenty-three points.
- Timofey Mozgov was taken out of the starting line-up, replaced by Ronnie Turiaf.
- Anthony Randolph did not play tonight.
- Gallinari looked as though he had found his stroke tonight, season high 27 points.
- Upcoming games: Friday 19th @ Golden State Warriors. Saturday 20th @ LA Clippers
