BACKGROUND: Human inherited diseases can be associated by genetic linkage with one or more genomic regions. The availability of the complete sequence of the human genome allows examining those locations for an associated gene. We previously developed an algorithm to prioritize genes on a chromosomal region according to their possible relation to an inherited disease using a combination of data mining on biomedical databases and gene sequence analysis. RESULTS: We have implemented this method as a web application in our site G2D (Genes to Diseases). It allows users to inspect any region of the human genome to find candidate genes related to a genetic disease of their interest. In addition, the G2D server includes pre-computed analyses of candidate genes for 552 linked monogenic diseases without an associated gene, and the analysis of 18 asthma loci. CONCLUSION: G2D can be publicly accessed at http://www.ogic.ca/projects/g2d_2/.

Hello all, I have been lurking around on the forums and I see a lot of people talking about a 1911. What is a 1911? I get that its a gun, but is that a style of gun that a lot of manufacturers produce, a nickname for a popular (specific) gun, or something used as a generic term to describe a series of hand guns, perhaps from the same maker or is it a model number? Believe me I KNOW that this is a dumb noob question but I feel like I am missing out on part of the conversations when I don't know for sure what is being talked about. Thanks for your help and please excuse my ignorance.

I know there are a lot of guys on this forum that could answer this question much better than I, but I'll give it a shot. 1911 refers to the Colt model 1911 .45 caliber handgun adopted by our military in 1911. It's a single action semi-auto firearm mostly in .45 caliber. There have been numerous companies that have copied the basic "1911" design such as Springfield Armory, Kimber, S&W, Taurus, etc.. You can now buy 1911's in several calibers and in double action form. It mainly describes the style of firearm. I hope this answers your question and I'm sure others will add helpful details.
Give yourself some credit i have heard and seen much worse questions than that!
If you haven't been exposed to much, this is a normal question, and there have been way worse ones put to the forum, believe me. The design behind the 1911 style pistol was the brain child of, I believe, probably the smartest firearms designer to ever walk the Earth, John Moses Browning. John Browning was one of three brothers, sons of a famous gunsmith, who inherited his shop and reputation when their father died in 1879. John was regarded as a design genious, having designed his first single shot rifle at the tender age of 14! He went on to design production weapons for Winchester, FN ( He designed the first autoloading shotgun that Winchester passed on and FN snapped up, and Colt including the 1895 Colt Peacekeeper and the B.A.R. - Browning Automatic Rifle. The 1911 automatic pistol, quite possibly the most famous pistol in the world today, was originally designed late in the 1890's. It was not put into production on a wide range format until some years later however. During the 1899 and 1900 small arms handgun tests, the US Military adopted a brand called a DWM Luger chambered in 7.65mm. This was in service, in one form or another, up until about 1904 ( possibly 1906 depending on your source of reference ). In 1904 the US Military, led by the statement from Colonel John Thompson, a veteran of the Phillipine-American War, that the new service pistol should be of "no less than .45 caliber" which led to open pistol tests in the summer of 1906. These were open trials, but only six manufacturers submitted designs ( Colt, Bergmann, DWM, Savage Arms Company, Knoble, Webley, and White-Merril ) Much speculation has been written about the tests, talk of slanted scales, kickbacks, unfair testing procedures, the usual complaints concerning government testing. The end result was that Colt won with the John Browning Designed Automatic Colt Pistol ( which the round designed was named .45 caliber - ACP ) It was officially adopted by the US Military in March of 1911 and dubbed Model of 1911 - or M1911. It has been in service, in the US Military, in some form, shape or configuration since 1911! Quite a feat for a design from a guy who, reportedly, never got past the 8th grade of formal education. Generally you will hear more of the "elder" community and those in military and law enforcement experience speak of the 1911. This is not a young gun, and it has listed "drawbacks" like the fact that it will only hold 8 rounds in a basic magazine, but it is the grandfather of every modern autoloading pistol - and as I own several variations of Mr. Browning's classic design, I dare say it's a beautiful piece of art and I am a HUGE fanboy of him and his work.
Yeah, what JD said.
Wow, Thanks for the very thorough answers. Thats the type of education I am looking for.
are you saying that the same browing, of the browning firearms, is responsible for the 1911, or merely coincidence with the names? if it is one in the same, thats a good piece of trivia.
The 1911a1 is one of the finest pistols ever made, even today. I have owned and used one from the last 38 years.
Dillinger- agree with everything you said- EXCEPT that bit about the Luger. I know was submitted for trials, but not aware that was ever accepted. IIRC, the standard Army sidearm at the time of the Moro Insurrection was a revolver, in cal .38 Colt. Which really sucked for stopping power. Which resulted in the "45 cal" spec from Gen Thompson.

I have been trying to grow Mac's Virtually Velvet from leaf cuttings, but so far none of the plantlets is producing chlorophyll-containing leaves. I only have 3 original leaves, and all are producing white-leaf babies. Any suggestions on how I can get viable plants. Can I cut off the original leaf and replant it? Do I wait to see if variegated leaves eventually come up?

Land Rover LR4 Replacement Brake Pad Sensor Information
As the brakes in any vehicle are used, the pads wear down. This is something that is inevitable and in fact pads are designed to wear down and be replaced.
In many vehicles a thinning pad is signaled by a squealer which is a metal piece in the pad that makes a loud sound on the brake rotor. This is a simple solution to the problem of alerting the driver.
In higher end vehicles such as the Land Rover LR4, an electronic sensor may be substituted. This brake pad sensor detects a thinning pad and alerts the driver when it's time to get the vehicle into the shop and have the pads replaced. Selecting a Land Rover is an intelligent choice, and keeping it in showroom condition is even more sensible!
They are available for the following Land Rover LR4 years: 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10. This part is also sometimes called Land Rover LR4 Brake Pad Sensors. We stock brake pad sensor parts for most Land Rover models including Range Rover, LR3 and Range Rover Sport.
We stock these Brake Pad Sensor brands for the Land Rover LR4: Pex and Bowa.

And Then There's These Guys
The Catbird Seat, Nashville
By Tom Junod
About halfway through my meal at the Catbird Seat in Nashville, I couldn't decide whether the restaurant was filling me with optimism about humanity's ultimate fate or with foreboding that the world was about to end. On one hand, I had never been fed by people who cared as much about what they were feeding me, and certainly a race capable of lavishing such an expense of spirit on a spring-ramp vichyssoise would one day prevail. On the other hand, I had no choice but to worry about the end of the world, because by the very terms of a meal at the Catbird Seat, all humanity might perish just outside its doors, and no one eating there would ever know.
The Catbird Seat is a cloister of a restaurant. It doesn't have any windows; it doesn't even have a proper door, only an elevator that ascends from street level. Though as exclusive as a sex club, it is built around a display of virtuosity virtuous in the extreme, for at its center, surrounded by twenty diners seated at the U-shaped counter, is the kitchen of chefs Josh Habiger and Erik Anderson.
They conceived of the Catbird Seat because, as Habiger says, they wanted to "cook what we wanted to cook, and cook it ourselves." In order to do that, he says, "we had to limit the number of people who came through the door." The Catbird Seat opened last October. It has never served more than forty-one people in a night, and it has never opened its doors — or run its elevator — without both Habiger and Anderson in the kitchen.
It is a provocative restaurant, not just because of its innovation but also because of its habit of full disclosure. It demands a response, not just because it serves a dish of pigeon with sweetgrass-hay yogurt and a dessert of burnt-oak ice cream but also because Habiger and Anderson do most of the serving — and the explaining — themselves. Each week, they are open four nights and work, they say, anywhere from eighty to one hundred hours. And so you may accuse them of being indulgent but never of being cynical. You may accuse them of creating a restaurant that is punishingly expensive but not of being decadent. They cook because they care, and they care because they want you to care as well, and so by the end of the meal you have to decide if you do or not.
Restaurants like Atera in New York and Next in Chicago also limit access in order to offer An Experience. But the Catbird Seat asks you not only to eat but also to witness, and as such it represents the culmination of a food culture that throws the moral equivalent of the Manhattan Project at the inestimably tiny problem of finding four sources of garlic for the pan-roasted halibut. Chefs more postmodern in their orientation than Habiger and Anderson might make you ask yourself what makes food delicious; but in their very sincerity they make you ask yourself, is delicious food worth it? Right now, it is; the meal I had at the Catbird Seat had not only passion but also a strange kind of power based on absolute commitment in every sense of the word. At the beginning, I wondered what kind of restaurant lurked behind the elevator door; at the end, I wondered what had become — what might become — of the world outside.

Coventry City captain Jordan Clarke has suffered a setback in his efforts to return to the side for this weekend's FA Cup fifth round clash with Blackburn.
The centre-half, who has been out with a shoulder injury, had been expected to gain match fitness with a midweek friendly match against Aston Villa, but he fell ill.
Although the sickness is not expected to last until the weekend, a lack of match sharpness could force manager Chris Coleman into a re-think.
"It's disappointing that he couldn't play because I don't want to put him back into the first-team fold until he's had 90 minutes in the reserves," Coleman told the Coventry Telegraph.

'Arrested Development' Is 'Definitely' Returning For More, Says Show's Creator
While appearing at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, Canada, Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz boldly announced that there'll "definitely" be more of the FOX-turned-Netflix series to come.
But there's a catch: it may come in the form of a film.
Hurwitz explained, "I keep thinking about it, and why don't we do the movie version of this and then do the series, because this series kinda peaks with the story?"
"I kind of go back and forth between that and a series. But here's the most important thing, whatever we do, I want to get the cast all together and not do another anthology thing, and that's why I keep thinking about kicking off with a special or a three-part show and then going into a series."
Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos also affirmed that they're game for another round of Arrested Development.
"Absolutely," he said. "In any form."
The show -- which debuted its long-awaited fourth season this May -- earned three nominations for the 2013 Emmys, including a nod for lead actor Jason Bateman.
Season 5 or a movie, the news of more Arrested Development will probably have fans acting like this:

What is the best way to get to the Sloth Sanctuary?
How to get to the Sloth Sanctuary from SAN JOSE by car.
If you rent a car, ask your car rental agent to highlight the route from the agency office through San Jose to Highway 32 to the Caribbean (Limon). If you become hopelessly lost – and getting out of San Jose can be a real challenge!! – ask a taxi driver to guide you to the entrance to Highway 32 and offer him $5. Once you are on the highway, follow the big green and white road signs to Limon, Cahuita, Puerto Viejo, Sixaola, etc. The Sloth Sanctuary is approximately 31 kilometers south of Limon. Driving time is approximately 4 hours without stops. Just before our gate you will see two bus stops, one on either side of the road, with SLOTH CROSSING signs; a beautiful portrait of Buttercup announces your arrival to the SLOTH SANCTUARY and B&B HOTEL on the left hand side of the road. The metal gate is light green.
How to get to the Sloth Sanctuary from CAHUITA, PUERTO VIEJO AND POINTS SOUTH
Driving north we are one kilometer north of the Estrella River Bridge (the only two-lane iron-girdered overhead bridge) on the right hand side. From Puerto Viejo – 35 kilometers; from Cahuita – 11 kilometers
How can I get to the Sloth Sanctuary by bus from San Jose?
You can get the bus from San Jose via the bus to Sixaola Panama. The bus goes all the way to the border and does not pick up passengers along the way. Ask the driver to drop you off in front of the Sanctuary gates. We do not know the current cost or bus schedule. Please research this on the internet. You can not get back to San Jose this way.
How can I get to the Sloth Sanctuary by bus for Chahuita, Puerto Viejo or Limon?
There is a local bus that runs between Limon, Cahuita and Puerto Viejo. There is a bus stop directly in front of the Sloth Sanctuary. Tell the bus driver to let you off at our gate. If you are coming for a tour please give yourself plenty of time to get here. We request that you arrive 15 minutes before tours begin.
How can I get to the Sloth Sanctuary via private transport?
We suggest that you use EasyRide or Interbus. Both companies will pick you up at the airport or hotels in an around the San Jose area. You must reserve this service ahead of time. Please contact them for prices and reservations.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns On Colorado Requiring Background Checks For All Gun Sales And Limits On Magazines
Background Checks Save Lives and Help Police Catch Criminals; Polls Show Overwhelming National Support for Background Checks; www.DemandAction.org
NEW YORK, March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper's signing of legislation to expand background checks for all gun sales and limit ammunition magazines today, the co-chairs of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino, as well as Colorado Mayors Against Illegal Guns Chairwoman Marjorie Sloan of Golden, issued the following statements:
"Extending background checks to cover private sales and limiting high-capacity ammunition magazines are commonsense measures that will keep communities safer without infringing on anyone's Second Amendment rights," said Mayors Against Illegal Guns Co-Chair and New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. "As lawmakers in Congress continue the debate over how to reduce gun violence in America, they should look no further than Colorado as a model of progress."
" Colorado has taken the lead in making reform a reality," said Mayors Against Illegal Guns Co-Chair and Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino. "We need more states to follow Colorado's example, and more of our elected officials to show the same courage we've seen from Governor Hickenlooper and the state's legislators. It's time for Congress to stand with the American people and take action to reduce gun violence." "Today is a momentous day for Colorado and for the millions of Americans everywhere who have called for sensible gun laws to protect our communities, our law enforcement officers, and our children," said Colorado Mayors Against Illegal Guns Chairwoman and Golden Mayor Marjorie Sloan. "I applaud Governor Hickenlooper and state lawmakers for their leadership and commitment to putting public safety first. We're taking substantive action at the local level to reduce gun violence -- we need our representatives in Washington to follow suit." Colorado, with its strong hunting tradition, has been a pioneer in commonsense gun law reforms that will prevent gun violence. After the mass shooting at Columbine, an overwhelming majority (70 percent) of Coloradans voted to require unlicensed sellers at gun shows to conduct background checks. Since closing the "gun show loophole," Colorado has exported significantly fewer "crime guns" to other states. In 2000, the state was the 17th largest exporter of guns later found at crime scenes in other states. A year after the law was passed it ranked 27th, and by 2009 it ranked 32nd. Around 40 percent of U.S. gun transfers are conducted by unlicensed "private sellers" who are not required to conduct a federal check,[1] and who often do business at gun shows and on the Internet – indicating that about 6.6 million guns are transferred in the U.S. every year with no background check for the buyer.[2] This loophole allows dangerous people who are prohibited from buying guns – including felons, domestic abusers and the seriously mentally ill – to avoid a background check by simply avoiding licensed dealers.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Eddie is a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in a meaningless life of fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. His days are a dull routine of work, loneliness, and regret.
Then, on his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic accident, trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by five people. These people may have been loved ones or distant strangers. Yet each of them changed your path forever.
One by one, Eddie's five people illuminate the unseen connections of his earthly life. As the story builds to its stunning conclusion, Eddie desperately seeks redemption in the still-unknown last act of his life: Was it a heroic success or a devastating failure? The answer, which comes from the most unlikely of sources, is as inspirational as a glimpse of heaven itself.
In The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom gives us an astoundingly original story that will change everything you've ever thought about the afterlife -- and the meaning of our lives here on earth. With a timeless tale, appealing to all, this is a book that readers of fine fiction, and those who loved Tuesdays with Morrie, will treasure.
Albom takes a big risk with the novel; such a story can easily veer into the saccharine and preachy, and this one does in moments. But, for the most part, Albom's telling remains poignant and is occasionally profound. Even with its flaws, The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a small, pure, and simple book that will find good company on a shelf next to It's A Wonderful Life. --Patrick O'Kelley

In the photo taken earlier this month, female journalists sit on the floor and take notes during the inauguration. They are surrounded by men, many of whom are seated in chairs.

Fitch Ratings has assigned Saudi Electricity Global SUKUK Company 3′s (SEGSC3) upcoming international Sukuk issue a 'AA-(EXP)' expected rating. The rating is in line with Saudi Electricity Company's (SEC) 'AA-'/Stable Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) and senior unsecured rating. The rating is also in line with outstanding Sukuk issues, including issues under Saudi Electricity Global Sukuk Company and Saudi Electricity Global Sukuk Company 2.
The final rating is contingent upon the receipt of final documentation conforming materially to information already received and details regarding the Sukuk amount.
The certificates' expected rating is driven solely by SEC's IDR and senior unsecured rating due to the Sukuk's structure, which Fitch understands includes the following features:
- The transaction involves the sale by SEC of a portfolio of assets to SEGSC3, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEC.
- SEC's undertaking to purchase the Sukuk assets on the scheduled or any earlier dissolution dates from SEGSC3.
- As the lessee, SEC will pay the periodical rental under the Ijara Agreement.
- Among other aspects, the transaction documentation contains typical negative pledge and default provisions, including a cross default provision, as well as a put option for investors in the event of a change of control affecting SEC.
The Sukuk will be issued on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis. SEGSC3 is a special purpose vehicle incorporated in the Cayman Islands solely to act as the issuer of the certificates and the trustee for the holders of the certificates.
The declaration of trust and the certificates, including any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with, the declaration of trust and the certificates, will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law. The purchase, sale and substitution transfer agreements, which will be entered into on the closing date will be governed by Saudi law.
By assigning ratings to the programme and certificates issued under it, Fitch does not express an opinion on the programme structure's compliance with Shariah principles or whether the relevant transaction documents are enforceable under any applicable law, including, without limitation, Saudi law.
Sovereign Support Critical
SEC's current ratings are one notch below Saudi Arabia's ratings of 'AA', based on their strong legal, operational, and strategic links, in accordance with Fitch's Parent and Subsidiary Rating Linkage methodology. This is because SEC is currently among the highest-rated entities in the broader global electric utility peer group; the residual risks and opportunities inherent within the sector; and the scale of its current investment programme, which will weigh on SEC's balance sheet over the next five years. However, we do not perceive links with the government to be weaker or to weaken in the future.
Historically, state financial support has been strong. SEC is drawing down SAR51bn (USD14bn) of interest free loans from the government to partially finance its capital projects. The government also provided an additional SAR49.5bn loan to SEC in March 2014. Since its inception in 1999, SEC has not paid for fuel provided by Saudi Aramco. SEC transferred a total of SAR57bn in 2007, 2011 and in 2012 of Aramco payables to the Ministry of Finance, converting them to long-term government payables. The government has deferred all dividend payments from SEC since inception, with the latest 10-year deferral running through till 2020. The government appoints five of SEC's nine board members, including the Chairman.
Integrated Business Profile
SEC is a monopolistic, vertically integrated utility in Saudi Arabia. The utility regulator, Electricity and Cogeneration Regulatory Authority (ECRA), has licensed SEC to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity in its designated service territory. The company remains dominant in the Kingdom's electricity generation sector despite the emergence of independent power producers (IPPs), which held 80% of the Kingdom's of total generation capacity at FYE12. SEC retains up to 50% equity positions in five IPPs, sources fuel on their behalf and purchases all electricity produced. Utilising generating capacity at IPPs ahead of its own plants is expected to result in some EBITDA margin compression in coming years, particularly in light of seasonal swings in electricity demand in the Kingdom.
Commitment to Growth
SEC is instrumental in meeting the country's growing electricity demand and executing the state policy on providing subsidised electricity within Saudi Arabia, along with developing a robust, reliable, and stable electricity infrastructure. SEC's current capital spending plan of about SAR157bn (USD42bn) over the next three years (2014-2016) includes investment in electricity generation capacity, transmission infrastructure, and distribution assets.
Historically, the maximum annual capital investment by SEC has been around SAR41bn. Delivery of an even larger capex programme than the one executed previously, on time and on budget, while simultaneously managing other construction-related risks could be challenging.
Subsidised Electricity Tariff
The Council of Ministers, responsible for setting electricity tariffs, has authorised ECRA to set electricity tariffs for commercial, government, and industrial customers. The Council of Ministers has set the maximum electricity tariff that ECRA can approve at 26 halala per unit of electricity. However, the tariff charged to residential consumers is solely determined by the Council of Ministers, as it remains heavily subsidised.
Weakening Standalone Credit Metrics
Fitch-calculated leverage, measured by funds from operations (FFO) adjusted net leverage, is expected to rise to 5x by 2014 from 2.1x at end-2012. These ratios take into account the SAR51bn of governmental support for the new capital projects. Fitch assumes that the company will supplement cash from operations with debt to fund its capital programme and that it will continue to defer fuel costs payable to Saudi Aramco. Nonetheless, SEC's standalone credit profile under a cost-plus tariff regime is significantly lower than the current state support- driven rating.
Adequate Liquidity
Liquidity at SEC is adequate with approximately SAR23.8bn in total liquidity at end-December 2013, including SAR4bn in cash, with the remainder mostly comprising available committed government facility, export credit agency (ECA) and commercial facilities. In addition, SEC issued SAR4.5bn Sukuk notes in January 2014. This compares with around SAR8.8bn of maturities due in 2014, and significantly negative free cash flow expectations until FY16.
Positive: Future developments that may, individually or collectively, lead to positive rating action include:
- Explicit guarantees from the KSA in favour of SEC, which would likely result in positive rating action on SEC's IDR, providing that the remaining elements of the parent-subsidiary linkage do not weaken.
Negative: Future developments that may, individually or collectively, lead to negative rating action include:
- Diminished government support or a negative rating action on KSA's sovereign rating, which would likely result in negative rating action on SEC.

Wanted to share this great 1-day DIY gate project I did last weekend at my daughter's house in Portland, OR. The had a 9ft wide opening between their garage and house, and wanted a little more backyard privacy. Rather than buy or build a conventional gate, they decided to use a recycled exterior door. Sounds a bit unusual, but the price was right ($50 from the local rebuilding center), and the finished look is great. Check it out at http://greatgateproject.shutterfly.com |

What a clever, unique idea! Are you going to put an arbor over the door on those posts that extend up on either side? |

A demo for Pro Evolution Soccer 6 from Konami is now available to download from Xbox Live Marketplace.
Better late than never, eh? Word reaches up that Xbox Live Gold members can now download the PES6 demo from the Xbox Live Marketplace, while Silver members of the service will be able to join the online footy revolution from December 29.
Even though football (not soccer) is the world's most popular (and greatest) game, the demo can't be downloaded in Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Singapore, and the US.
The full game was recently patched, fixing the connection issues the game shipped with.

dafiltafish (01/04/2014) [-] The older style polygamy relationships (middle east mostly) state that a man can have multiple women because the offspring would be nice an easy to track. easy to figure out the father (the only man) and mother (the one who gave birth). It does not have to be like this any more with a computer analyzing a blood sample to figure out who the father is. This opens up the possibility for a relationship with multiple men and one woman while having the ability to tell which offspring correspond to which father. It works in theory, but where polygamy is legal, the male dominance is fairly extreme and it would be doubtful to see it in practice. | ||

MUMBAI: After an earlier, embarrassing show, India has backed out of this year's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), a global evaluation process by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Secretariat that gauges where schoolchildren stand alongside their peers from other countries.
This academic Olympics measures the performance of 15-year-olds in their reading, math and science abilities.
Indians were put to test for the first time in the last assessment in 2009. On the global stage, they stood second last among 73 countries, only beating Kyrgyzstan on reading, math and science abilities. India ranked second last among the 73 countries that participated in PISA, conducted to evaluate education systems worldwide by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) Secretariat.
This time around, sources said India shied away from the assessment as government officials felt our children were not prepared for such a test.
"India didn't sign up for the PISA 2012 assessment because when countries were asked to sign up for that assessment, India had only signed up for the PISA 2009 assessment, which it carried out with a year later delay in 2010," said Juliet Evans, who handles communication and administration for the PISA Secretariat. Unlike India, several other countries like Costa Rica, Malaysia, Georgia and the UAE who had carried out the PISA evaluation in 2010 did sign up for the upcoming assessment. It is also yet unclear whether India will put itself up for the assessment in 2015. In the last assessment, Tamil Nadu and Himachal Pradesh, showpieces of India's education and development, were put through the PISA evaluation and they performed miserably. The idea was that the entire country would participate in the next round of assessment. However, that plan was also dropped.
The assessment is based on two-hour tests that half a million students are put through. China's Shanghai province, which participated in PISA for the first time like the two Indian states, scored the highest in reading. It also topped the charts in math and science. "More than one-quarter of Shanghai's 15-year-olds demonstrated advanced mathematical thinking skills to solve complex problems, compared to an OECD average of just 3%," noted the analysis.
In math, considered India's strong point, the states finished second and third to last, beating only Kyrgyzstan; the English test threw up the same result. Girls were better than boys and science results were the worst, where Himachal stood last. , behind Kyrgyzstan.
TN was slightly better and finished third from bottom. The average 15-year-old Indian is over 200 points behind the global topper.
Experts estimate that an Indian Class VIII student is at the same level as a South Korean Class III student in math abilities or a Class II student from Shanghai when it comes to reading skills. Elementary education is a fundamental right in India, but clearly that says nothing about what our children are studying in school every day.

Egypt to commemorate 25 January Revolution with ration cards
In coordination with the National Council for Care of the Martyrs' Families and Injured of the Revolution, the government has approved the issuance of ration cards to the wounded and families of martyrs of the 25 January Revolution, according to a statement from the Ministry of Supply.This decision came after a meeting between Minister of Supply Mohamed Abu Shady and Secretary General of the council Mohamed El-Shafie on Sunday.
Abu Shady was quoted in the statement as saying that this initiative comes on the occasion of the third memorial of the 25 January Revolution "to honour those who have sacrificed [for the revolutionary cause]".Around 670 of martyrs' families and 3,200 of the injured have received compensations, said former Prime Minister Kamal El-Ganzoury in January 2012, promising that the rest will also be compensated. Meanwhile, the Administrative Court called on the government in January 2012 to give those who had been injured an urgent exceptional monthly pension specified according to their needs.
The dissolved People's Assembly had approved a law that would increase compensations for the families of martyrs from EGP 30,000 to EGP 100,000 before it was disbanded. Then Minister of Finance Momtaz El-Saeed condemned this law, saying that this would require an additional EGP 400m from the ministry.Ration cards allow their holders access to commodities at a subsidised price.
The government sought to improve the ration card system in September. The ministries of Finance, Petroleum, Communication and Information Technology, Industry and Interior have agreed to cooperate in the development of a unified database for the beneficiaries of all types of subsidies and the smartcard programme.In an attempt to control the prices of food commodities and alleviate burdens on low-income citizens, the supply ministry dispatched trucks in November to sell vegetables, fruits and legumes at discounted prices throughout Cairo.
The ministry said that there are inspectors tasked with ensuring that commodities continue to be sold at reduced prices, providing additional quantities of commodities in case of depletion and receiving citizen complaints.

Moving Metra forward
Nobody told Phil Pagano how to run a railroad. That was a mistake. Trains were on time, the budget was in the black … and his bosses on the Metra board of trustees had no clue that the CEO was helping himself to hundreds of thousands of dollars in extra compensation.
The board that hired Pagano's successor was more hands-on, to put it mildly. Alex Clifford's resistance to political meddling in personnel and contract decisions cost him his job last summer; his separation agreement cost taxpayers $871,000. Six board members ended up resigning.
As the Metra board prepares to name a new CEO, perhaps as early as Friday, those failures loom large. So does this disastrous January, with its cascade of mechanical problems, staffing problems, communications problems. Hundreds of trains were canceled or delayed, while passengers waited hours in bitter cold. Metra needs to get its act together fast.
We're told the board will interview four candidates screened by a search firm. It's no secret that the leading candidate is Don Orseno, who has been acting CEO since August. Orseno has 40 years of railroad experience, including 30 years at Metra, where he worked his way up from trainmaster to chief of operations.
So his learning curve wouldn't be steep — in contrast to Clifford, who had to be propped up by a six-digit consultant for more than a year.
Orseno is popular among rank-and-file Metra employees, whose morale has tanked because of the back-to-back scandals. And he's earned the support of board members, who have defended his response to the cold-weather fiasco.
We know nothing about the other candidates. But if they're reading the newspapers, they know where they stand.
"Unless Superman walks through the door in full uniform, I don't see how much better we can do than that," says board member Jack Schaffer, who represents McHenry County.
Metra's performance the last few weeks hasn't been much of an advertisement for the guy who's in charge. We will credit Metra for doing a better job during the second round of subzero temperatures. Perhaps even Superman would have struggled to keep the trains running at 20 below.
The question on a lot of minds is: Where was Orseno during the Pagano and Clifford scandals? A handful of Pagano loyalists shared in the unauthorized benefits he collected, including bonuses and cash-outs of unused sick and vacation pay, but Orseno wasn't among them.
His supporters say he was just busy doing his job: He's an operations guy, not a politics guy. Fair enough. But Metra's CEO has to work with lawmakers in Springfield and Washington, and the Clifford saga illustrates what a minefield that can be.
We trust the board will ask all the candidates how they'd respond if House Speaker Michael Madigan "suggested" that a friend who worked at Metra ought to get a raise.
After that, we hope the board members will ask themselves the same question. Because the right CEO, whoever it is, can't do the job if board members don't do theirs — if they forget, for example, that they work for the Metra riders and not the House speaker.
Hiring the right CEO is only one step toward proving that Metra can be run ethically. And on time.

Like Phil, my time behind the wheel of the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG came during some wintry Michigan weather, so I wasn't able to enjoy the S63 to its fullest performance potential. That's not to say it rained on my parade (technically, it sleeted)-I still enjoyed my time behind the wheel of the big Benz.
Perhaps I'm old fashioned, but a car this size just feels best as a proper four-door sedan. I drove the Mercedes CL63 AMG-essentially a two-door variant of this same car-a few months back, and though I enjoyed it, I couldn't help thinking I'd enjoy the S-class version better-it just felt odd for a car so large to simply be a coupe. I ended up proving myself correct, though I couldn't help but wish for the lower seating position afforded by the SL. Perhaps I'm just never satisfied.
I was, however, more than satisfied with virtually everything else. Although enthusiasts regard the AMG models as performance vehicles (which they truly are), there just isn't enough written about the stupefying levels of luxury contained within their interiors. No matter which seating position you're in, the S63's cabin is warm and inviting and rewards all with a level of comfort and pampering it's hard to find elsewhere.

Our research section features in-depth media analysis, original reports illustrating skewed or inadequate coverage of important issues, thorough debunking of conservative falsehoods that find their way into coverage and other special projects from Media Matters' research department.
Right-wing media outlets used a flawed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper to attack unemployment insurance (UI), claiming that the paper proved that UI disincentives work. In fact, experts criticized the paper's methodology and data, and one of the paper's co-authors admitted that most UI recipients look for work while receiving benefits.
The total coverage of climate change on ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox continued to increase for the third consecutive year, according to a Media Matters analysis, yet still remained below the level seen in 2009. Coverage on the networks' Sunday shows reached a six-year high after a group of senators demanded they provide more coverage of the issue, but the Sunday shows still infrequently interviewed scientists.
