By Rick Jervis, USA TODAY
NEW ORLEANS The Port of New Orleans, battered by Hurricane Katrina 2½ years ago, will undergo a $1 billion expansion that port officials say will be key to the city's economic rebound.
The port's plans come as much of the rest of the city struggles to return to pre-Katrina conditions. The centerpiece of the plan is a $478 million expansion to the port's container cargo terminal that would increase its capacity, according to a copy of the plan released Tuesday.
The expansion to its container operations would help New Orleans capture some of the projected boom in international shipping in the coming decade and infuse the city with much-needed jobs and revenue, said Gary LaGrange, the port's president and CEO.
"It's critical for the entire recovery of the city and greater New Orleans area," LaGrange said. "If the port doesn't recover and can't compete, New Orleans loses and Louisiana loses."
Hurricane Katrina battered the port in 2005, disabling some of its terminals along the Industrial Canal in eastern New Orleans and causing roughly $165 million in damages, said Chris Bonura, a port spokesman. The port has collected $42 million of that claim and is in settlement negotiations for the rest, he said.
The plan to expand the port's container cargo terminal began in 2004 but was interrupted by Katrina, he said. If the first phase of the master plan is completed, the container terminal would triple its capacity by 2012, in time for the widening of the Panama Canal, Bonura said. The canal's expansion, scheduled to be completed by 2014, is expected to greatly increase the number of cargo-container ships in the Gulf of Mexico, he said. Many of those ships would come to New Orleans, he said.
"When you control the mouth of the Mississippi River, that's a very valuable asset," Bonura said.
The plan also calls for a $22.5 million expansion of the port's cruise ship terminals and a $75 million expansion of its break-bulk facility.
The one catch to the port's plans: money. The port has been financially strapped after paying off a bond it previously floated, Bonura said.
Port officials plan to use federal funds and tap the private sector for investors, such as banks and investment firms, who would front some of the capital money in exchange for port profits, LaGrange said. Requests for proposals are expected to be sent out by the end of the summer, he said.
Port officials will also ask the state legislature for roughly $50 million a year to fund the projects, LaGrange said. As lawmakers debate how to spend the state's $1.1 billion surplus, an investment in the port is a good bet, said J.P. Morrell, a state representative from New Orleans.
"There's going to be an incredible amount of port traffic once that Panama Canal widens," Morrell said. "As a port, we have to be poised to take advantage of it."

Love your plug-in. I would like to suggest that you add native support for Beaver Builder and Formidable Forms. The Lite versions of both of these are available at wordpress.org. Thanks!
Hi there,
Glad you like it!
I will very soon add support for the plugins you mentioned.
Best Regards,
Gautam Thapar
Just downloaded version 1.9.5 update. Beaver Builder & Formidable added… THANKS!
Most welcome!
Let me know if you have any other suggestions.
Hi Gautam…my WP dashboard says that there is a ButtonsX update (1.9.41), I currently have 1.9.4…however, when I come to codecanyon to download the latest version, the version I downloaded is still 1.9.4. It also will not update via the wp dashboard plugin update 'system' Thanks.
Hi there,
Only major updates are uploaded on CodeCanyon.
Please make sure there is no space before the license code in settings and then try to update from dashboard.
Best Regards,
Gautam Thapar
Wow – Simply a fantastic piece of work. I am really happy with it. This isn't a problem as such – more a quick question. Is it possible to disable the text on hover? That is, to make the text disappear on hover and then return once the button is in its normal state? Thanks again for a plugin that is worth every penny.
Duh – silly me. Of course underneath the color picker is an opacity slider. I adjusted opacity to zero and answered my own question. I'll leave these comments here just in case someone else is searching the topic.
Hi there,
Glad that you like the plugin and glad that you were able to solve the issue yourself.
Best Regards,
Gautam Thapar
Hello Again – Please excuse me using this facility to post questions rather than go through your support centre. However, once again, this isn't a fault of your plugin or even of mine, or a server issue but rather the quirks of CSS. Perhaps it can also be a suggestion for future updates of the plugin.
Thing is, I have a background image and a hover animation 'shutter in vertical' employed. When rollover happens, the background image is loaded and the animation goes along nicely. When rollout happens, the background image is unloaded exactly when the animation to "close" the button starts. This creates a flash of the background color instead of the background image staying loaded long enough for the animation to finish.
Is there any way to delay unloading the background image until the animation finishes? And do away with the ugly flicker of white that occurs when the background is unloaded and before the animation finishes?
Thank you so much for any thoughts you can contribute on this. The test button that this is happening to is on http://traumalife.co.uk/button-test/#1469516657230-b4d9839e-8624
Setting background image for normal view should solve this.
Best Regards,
Gautam Thapar
Spot on Gautam! Thank you for your simple explanation and fix – was I overdoing the thinking on this one! And thank you very much for such a swift reply. I am really impressed by your customer support.
Most welcome! You are doing just fine.
Best Regards,
Gautam Thapar
Nice plugin!
Are these buttons capable of changing the css of another div?
Hi there,
There is an option to override CSS where you can add custom class name and the button related CSS will be applied to that class name. Not a complete solution but somewhat works.
Best Regards,
Gautam Thapar
Great plugin, so far! I'm looking for the possibility to add an anchor link, but it don't work.
How is this possible?
Hi there,
Thank you for the kind words!
By anchor link you mean normal link right? If yes, then under link type select "URL" and then URL field will appear. Enter your link in URL field and save button.
And is it possible to see the button? I mean can you share the page where I can check the button?
Dear Gautam,
Is 't possible to disable a button on smaller screens?
Hi Simon,
Yes, that's possible. Hide button options are available on the right sidebar on button edit screen.
Check the below image:
Thanks, there was I looking for!
You are welcome.
Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome.
Hi Gautam, i like your plugin but i need solve a question.
Can i use a button in a wordpress menu? I think that i need to create a custom class and then use this custom class in a element of menu.
Can i do this?
Hi there,
Thank you!
Yes, you can add a button to WordPress menu. It is similar to adding a menu item. If you don't see buttons tab in navigation menu alongside posts & pages then you need to enable it from screen options.
LOVE this plugin. And the best customer support!!! Thank you!
Awesome! You are most welcome.
Hi, I have a pre purchase question: is it possible to make two action on one button? What I need is to send client to new page with target blank and in the meanwhile change a text one the button. I run an aff site and I would need to reveal coupon code
Hi there,
You can send the client to new page but unfortunately you will need some custom code to replace the button text with a coupon code.
Hey! Thanks for the nice plugin.
I want to display a button with menu in footer, however the dropdown menu is always below the button.
I tried with css and it worked, but i want it only for some buttons, how do i achieve this?
My css code was
.btnsx-dropdown-menu {bottom: 100%;}
.btnsx-btn-group .btnsx-dropdown-menu:before, .btnsx-btn-group .btnsx-dropdown-menu:after { top: 100%; transform: rotate(180deg);}
This is not a real solution, as i think those are the wrong classes…
Hi there,
Glad you like it!You can try something like this -
#btnsx-4501-dropdown { top: auto; bottom: 100%; margin-bottom: 8px; } #btnsx-4501-dropdown:before { border-top-color: #ccc; } #btnsx-4501-dropdown:after { border-top-color: #fff; } #btnsx-4501-dropdown:before, #btnsx-4501-dropdown:after { top: 100%; }
Replace "4501" with your button ID.For multiple buttons, you can do like this -
#btnsx-4501-dropdown, #btnsx-4502-dropdown { top: auto; bottom: 100%; margin-bottom: 8px; } #btnsx-4501-dropdown:before, #btnsx-4502-dropdown:before { border-top-color: #ccc; } #btnsx-4501-dropdown:after, #btnsx-4502-dropdown:after { border-top-color: #fff; } #btnsx-4501-dropdown:before, #btnsx-4501-dropdown:after, #btnsx-4502-dropdown:before, #btnsx-4502-dropdown:after { top: 100%; }
Please give it a try and let me know the result.
Hi there, I'm interested in your plugin. I wanted to know, can I create full width buttons? Like block level large buttons full width at the button of my blog posts? Do you perhaps have a developer version? I have 5 websites I'd like to have it installed on. Mozie
Hi Mozie,
Yes, full width buttons are supported. Unfortunately we are not allowed to offer any license other than what is available here so you will need to buy five regular licenses if you need to use it on 5 different websites.
I am having a problem with the responsiveness. I am using the latest version of this plugin. The responsiveness does not work if I put the single button on auto responsive so I am doing it manually. It works, but every time I go back to change something in that button the text size and layout size goes back to the default and does not show the number I used. It messes up visually on the mobile devices as well. Please help, I really like these buttons Here is the page: http://www.victorygracecenter.org/New-Staging-Site/our-church.
Thanks Jen
Hi Jen,
Thank you for purchasing Buttons X!
I am really sorry you had to face such an issue. There was a bug and it has been fixed now. If you have entered the purchase code on Buttons X settings page then you should see an update on your WordPress dashboard. Please update the plugin.
I just did that and now the whole plugin does not work. I got this: The plugin btnsx/btnsx.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.
Oops, sorry again.
There was a small issue with the update service. Please download the plugin again from CodeCanyon, install and then update. Or open a support ticket and I will send you the latest version directly.
Is it suppose to be Welcome to Buttons X 1.9.50?
If you have downloaded the plugin from CodeCanyon then yes. The update should be v1.9.51.
Working great, thanks
Most welcome.
hi, your plugin seem to have an error. after i activate the plugin i cant access to my page in dashboard.
i need solution to these as soon as possible
Hi there,
Really sorry you have to face such an issue. Can you please open a support ticket on the official support website and include login details so that I can check and fix the issue you are facing?
Support website – https://gautamthapar.ticksy.com
Before we buy, we would like to know: Which Icon Sets are available in Buttons X? I have looked for it on your website but could not find any info there.
Hi Charlie,
Font awesome is the default icon set. You have the option to set any PNG image as an icon for both normal and hover state.
i added a button, and the button is actually a url link, but when i clicked it, it automatically adds the product to cart. why is that?
Hi there,
Are you using the latest version (1.9.55)? Are you sure the link type option is set to "URL"? Is it possible to check the button online?
i had set it to URL link type. i installed it on a multi-site. the button still adds the product into cart. i'm using 1.9.50
Okay, can you please update the plugin and then check whether that solves the issue? Just add the purchase code in settings under automatic updates.
what's the changelog for 1.9.55 ?
You can check it here – https://gautamthapar.atlassian.net/wiki/display/BX/Release+Notes
i'll try to update to v1.9.55 to see if it solves my issue above. your changelog doesn't address this issue yet
Yes, I know. But I did fix a few link related issues. Are you using the button on a product page? I will try to replicate on my test environment.
ok. wait i re-create the issue in my site and send the details to you
please upload the latest version into codecanyon. your file is still currently 1.9.50
Yes, I will do that today.
you still did not update on codecanyon, so please send the files into the support ticket i created. it's important, i'll download it directly from there
Uploading on CodeCanyon takes time. Please be patient. Or you can simply update the plugin from WordPress dashboard by enabling automatic updates through Buttons X settings.
kindly update the file thru the support ticket. thanks, it would really be helpful of you
Okay, give me some time.
Done. You can now download the latest version from your support ticket.
Hello there, I have a pre-sale query. 1. Is it possible to use this within BeTheme builder? 2. I am trying to run a Vimeo/YT video in a popup window as in your example. Is it possible to increase the size of the video on mobile devices as the example looks tiny on mobile devices? Thanks and regards
1. Sorry, we haven't tried BeTheme builder yet. 2. May I know the example you are referring to? We support a few popup plugins, paid and free.
Can it handle Vimeo videos and most importantly can we make the video larger on mobile devices? And of course can I get a refund IF it doesn't work on Betheme?
Okay, that is WP Video Lightbox plugin. You can find more details about it here – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-video-lightbox/. We also support Popup Maker, Layered Popups, Ninja Popups, PopupPress and OptinMonster.
The buttons will work with any theme, but we haven't added support for BeTheme builder. What I mean is you won't be able to create buttons out of the box using BeTheme builder, but you can use button shortcodes if BeTheme builder widget/element supports shortcode.
Hi, I just tried your plugin, but I don't seem to be able to add my own attributes to the button links.
Is that correct or am I missing something?
These are the kind of attributes I need to be able to add to the links:
data-thirsty_gct_link_id="9796" data-thirsty_gct_link_name="My Link Name" data-thirsty_gct_link_post_permalink="/go/link-url-path/"
Can you please let me know if that's possible? And if so, how?
Thanks, Paul
Hi Paul,
Are you comfortable editing theme files? We use custom attributes for the tooltip add-on. Below is how to add custom attributes:
add_filter( 'btnsx_output_button_attributes_filter', 'btnsx_tooltip_output', 10, 3 ); /** * Buttons X - Button Attributes Filter */ function btnsx_tooltip_output( array $data, $options, $atts ) { extract( shortcode_atts( $options, $atts ) ); $meta = get_post_meta( $id, 'btnsx', true ); if( $tooltip_text === '' ){ $tooltip_text = isset( $meta['btnsx_tooltip']['text'] ) ? $meta['btnsx_tooltip']['text'] : ''; } if( $tooltip_animation === '' ){ $tooltip_animation = isset( $meta['btnsx_tooltip']['animation'] ) ? $meta['btnsx_tooltip']['animation'] : ''; } if( $tooltip_text != '' ){ $data[] = array( 'data-tooltip-text="' . $tooltip_text . '"', 'data-tooltip-animation="' . $tooltip_animation . '"' ); } return $data; }
Modify the code according to your needs. You can place this code in your theme's function.php file.
Yeah I'm comfortable with that.
But will that code allow me to use different argument values for each button?
If yes, can you give an example of how I would use it? Takes less time to explain for you then for me to figure it out on my own.
Thanks, Paul
Yes, you can return different data based on button ID. Inside the filter callback you can do something like this:
if ( $id === '123' ) { $data[] = array( 'data-tooltip-text="' . $tooltip_text . '"', 'data-tooltip-animation="' . $tooltip_animation . '"' ); } else { $data[] = array( 'data-tooltip-text2="' . $tooltip_text . '"', 'data-tooltip-animation2="' . $tooltip_animation . '"' ); }
And I also need to be able to ad an onclick attribute
For on click attribute simply add "on_click_content" parameter to button short code – [btnsx on_click_content="..your code here…"].

Irate Reds fans call for next manager to be fired
CINCINNATI, OH - Just days after the firing of Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker, irate Cincinnati Reds fans have reached their boiling point, and have called upon ownership to fire the next manager. Though the new Reds skipper has not yet been named, vocal fans have expressed extreme displeasure with the team's leadership.
"This is a proud baseball town," said Western Hills native Steve Krauss. "The new manager is making a mockery of the game of baseball. It makes me long for the days when I was calling for the job of Dusty Baker. Hopefully, they will listen to what we want and make a move in the right direction."
Reds GM Walt Jocketty was puzzled by the fan's reaction. "We appreciate the fan's enthusiasm and input," he explained. "The good news is, we had to pay Dusty over three million, but at least we won't have to eat any salary if we fire the new guy, since we haven't actually signed him yet.
"I have not seen a decent lineup yet," said irate sports radio caller Darren Neely. "Has this guy given any thought at all to the fact that the number two hitter needs to have a good on base percentage? Of course he hasn't. His head must roll. Also, Chapman has not made an appearance in weeks. When they finally do put him in, he's gonna blow out his arm. Guess we just need to forget about the World Series again in 2014."
Though fans may be ready for the Reds to hire another new manager in just under a month, frequent Reds managerial critic Marty Brennaman has not leveled any criticism. "One thing I'll say about the Reds lately," explained Marty. "They aren't playing any of those long drawn out games that keep me at the ballpark all night."

I want to learn more about the League of Assassins; Ra's' al Ghul, Bane, Deathstroke, Lazarus Pits, etc. I know next to nothing about them and after watching Nolan's Batman trilogy again, I've been really inspired to get into them. I need someone who knows about the league and can give me some good starting points, so I won't get lost while reading.
Thanks, guys!

Ian Somerhalder, Mark Ruffalo and other stars in support of the Great Barrier Reef.
Do you know that the Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of Queensland in northeastern Australia, is the largest living thing on Earth? Do you know that it's even visible from outer space? The Great Barrier Reef is one of the wonders of our Earth and now, it's at risk.
The ecosystem comprises thousands of reefs and hundreds of islands made of over 600 types of hard and soft coral, where numerous species of colorful fish, mollusks, starfish, turtles, dolphins and sharks are living.
Earlier this week the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO concluded that the health of the Reef was poor and demanded the Australian government report-back in 18 months' time on concrete action taken to save the Reef.
Thus, a large and diverse group of organizations, including Greenpeace, scientists, environmentalists and individuals is campaigning to save the Great Barrier Reef. Traditional Owners of the land on which it is proposed that the Carmichael coal mine be built have also been campaigning worldwide to halt the project.
Furthermore, Hollywood stars have joined forces to save the Great Barrier Reef.
"In our lifetime, half the coral cover of the Great Barrier Reef has gone. Really let that sink in… can you imagine a world without coral? But we are the generation that can reverse this massive destruction—not only for our oceans health but for all forms of life on this planet, including our own. We must stop coal development on the Great Barrier Reef and we must stop it now." Ian Somerhalder.
Mark Ruffalo said "I stand with the 85% of Australians who say they want more protection for the Great Barrier Reef – not more coal industry expansion along the Reef" Mark Ruffalo.
The Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior is currently sailing the Great Barrier Reef to highlight the ongoing threat from climate change and coal mine and port expansion.

Chris Hughton says the confidence the Republic of Ireland have gained playing away from home should see them progress through the group stage of the World Cup.
Our first team coach, who was capped 53 times by the Republic, feels that Mick McCarthy's side have acquired the knack of getting results from the toughest of assignments.
"I can certainly see them going through the first phase of the competition," stressed Chris. "It's becomes very difficult after that because of the quality teams that are in there.
"What is in store for you in the next round is impossible to say.
"Where they have improved in Mick's reign is they've become a more confident side, certainly away from home. I think that's been their biggest strength and, even though possibly on paper, they wouldn't be one of the bigger sides, there is now a confidence in Irish results.
"If I think back to when I was playing, certainly there was some good players in the team. At home we knew we would win or have a great chance of winning the game, away from home we always knew it was going to be difficult.
"Our results and performances away were always very mixed and generally we lost away from home.
"I think this present group have got themselves into a position that, away from home, wherever it is, there is every opportunity of getting a result.
"It's interesting, you look at some countries like Belgium, who normally qualify for the World Cup. They probably have a similar feeling that, whatever group they're in, they're going to be hard to beat.
"There becomes a confidence in the team and the whole aura of the national side, the people around them, the supporters, who also have an expectation level that they can achieve something."

The latest launch by Verizon adds substance to our earlier report which stated that the Droid Turbo would be available as a Verizon-exclusive initially.
The primary reason for the heightened anticipation for Motorola's Droid Turbo is the fact that the smartphone is being touted as Motorola's answer to Samsung's recently launched large-screen flagship, Galaxy Note 4.
Also, the Droid Turbo ships with the Motorola Turbo Charger that claims to give the smartphone an 8-hour battery life on just a 15-minute one-time charge.
If you are looking to purchase the next-gen Droid Turbo, then head straight to Verizon which will offer the high-end smartphone at $24.99 (£15) a month for a period of 24 months for customers who qualify the conditions. This offer comes into effect on 30 October.
If you like to purchase the device from Verizon, you need not pay down payment and can start off by paying the 24-month EMIs as mentioned above.
The cost of an unlocked Motorola Droid Turbo is $600.
Verizon will offer the smartphone at $199 (£123) for 32 GB variant, and at $250 for the 64 GB variant, according to a Forbes report.
Motorola Droid Turbo should easily challenge various recently released high-end smartphones.
The key hardware aspects of Motorola Droid Turbo:
- 5.2in AMOLED display enclosed within Gorilla Glass 3
- Android 4.4.4 KitKat operating system
- 2.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor
- 21 MP rear camera
- 2 MP front snapper
- 32/64GB internal storage
- 4G LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi and microUSB connectivity
- 3900 mAh battery that should offer a comparatively greater talktime and standby time
The 3,900 mAh battery is also a unique selling point of Motorola's next-gen Droid, as the battery is larger than most recent smartphone offerings.
Also, the device's 21 MP primary camera should offer amateur photographers something to cheer about.
The device comes in three colour schemes to choose from — Ballistic Nylon, Black and Red.

What El Niño teaches us about climate resilience
Named by Peruvian fishermen because of its tendency to appear around Christmastime, El Niño is the planet's most large-scale and recurring mode of climate variability. Every 2-7 years, a slackening of trade winds that push sun-warmed water across the Pacific contributes to a rise in water temperature across large parts of the ocean. As the heat rises, a global pattern of weather changes ensues, triggering heat waves in many tropical regions and extreme drought or rainfall in others.
The fact that we are undergoing a major El Niño event should cause major concern and requires mobilization now. Already, eight provinces in the Philippines are in a state of emergency due to drought; rice farmers in Vietnam and Thailand have left fields unplanted due to weak rains; and 42,000 people have been displaced by floods in Somalia.
And this is before the event reaches its peak. Meteorologists see a 95% chance of the El Niño lasting into 2016, with its most extreme effects arriving between now and March. Coastal regions of Latin America are braced for major floods; India is dealing with a 14% deficit in the recent monsoon rains; and poor rainfalls could add to insecurity in several of Africa's fragile states. Indeed, Berkeley Professor Soloman Hsiang has used historical data to demonstrate that the likelihood of new conflict outbreaks in tropical regions doubles from 3% to 6% in an El Niño year.
But despite its thousand-year history, the devastation associated with El Niño is not inevitable. Progress made by many other countries since the last major event, in 1997-98, shows that we can get a grip on its effect – and others caused by climate trends.

How can the World Bank better support persons with disabilities? Send us your ideas
One of the statements that has stayed with me from the event was from Victor Pineda, President of World Enabled. He said: "Disability does not discriminate. Each and every one could, at any point, fall into disability. It's the only minority group that everybody can join" We are an accident away to join a group that is commonly excluded by societies around the world.
Fortunately, the development community has begun to realize the critical role of exclusion, and in particular exclusion of people with disabilities. This has been a year of fundamental change for the recognition of peoples with disabilities in the development agenda through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Post-2015 Development Agenda clearly states that disability cannot be a reason or criteria for lack of access to development programs. The new framework is audacious. It unequivocally bolsters equal opportunities for persons with disabilities in access to education, vocational training, jobs, transportation, public spaces, human settlements, and political life.
The SDGs include seven targets that explicitly refer to persons with disabilities; and six further targets on persons in vulnerable situations, which include persons with disabilities.
These targets alongside the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, now ratified by 160 countries provide both the moral imperative and clear milestones to ensure that persons with disabilities can fully participate in and benefit from poverty reduction and development efforts.
Our research in the World Bank shows the many ways in which persons with disabilities are ignored, stereotyped, and stigmatized in the countries where we work. The rising attention to issues of social inclusion is based on the realization that, while great strides have been made in reducing extreme poverty, in country after country, entire groups remain excluded from development gains.
Our social inclusion flagship report – Inclusion Matters – highlights the importance of societies to provide the ability and the opportunity to excluded populations to access services, markets, and spaces. Furthermore, our research shows that without a sense of dignity, providing the ability and opportunity to excluded populations is not enough to achieve a transformation of their well-being.
In Lima, inequality debate focuses on women, youth, and taxes
Can we end extreme poverty in a world with extreme inequality? That question inspired a spirited debate in English and Spanish on Oct. 7, just ahead of the World Bank Group-IMF Annual Meetings in Lima, Peru, addressing corruption, taxation, discrimination against women, and the need to even the playing field for the younger generation.
Latin America's experience with inequality was front and center at the live-streamed event, Inequality, Opportunity, and Prosperity, featuring World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim, Ibero-American Secretary General Rebeca Grynspan, Oxfam International Chair Juan Alberto Fuentes Knight, and moderated by CNN Español news anchor Patricia Janiot.
Taking a bite out of Haiti's rabies problem
Rabies is a serious public health problem in Haiti. Although human rabies in the Americas has declined by more than 95% since 1980, Bolivia, Guatemala, Brazil, the Dominican Republic and Haiti continue to experience cases. The problem is most acute in Haiti, which accounts for 70% of all deaths caused by rabies in the region.
This is the main reason behind the Haitian Government's campaign to vaccinate over 500,000 dogs and reduce the incidence of rabies on the island. Dr. Michel Chancy, State Secretary for Animal Production in Haiti, has repeatedly said that dogs are responsible for more than 99% of all cases of human rabies on the island. Not to mention the fact that human deaths from dog-transmitted rabies are known to be underreported, and estimated to be up to 200 per year.
Get smarter: A world of development data in your pocket!
It is often said that we live in a new data age. Institutions such as the Bank, UN agencies, NASA, ESA, universities and others have deluged us with an overwhelming amount of new data obtained painstakingly from countries and surveys or observed by the increasing number of eyes in the sky. We have modern tools such as mobile phones that are more powerful than old mainframes I used to use in my university days. You can be in rural Malawi and still have access to decent 3G data networks.
Why is the World Bank on Medium?
The World Bank is working toward two incredibly ambitious goals: ending extreme poverty by 2030 and ensuring shared prosperity for the bottom 40% of the population in each developing country. To achieve these goals will take not only the World Bank Group, the United Nations and all the national and multilateral development agencies, it will take all of us.
There is no planet B
At this week's UN Sustainable Development Summit, the world's oceans will be getting the attention they have long deserved -- but not always received. They are the focus of Sustainable Development Goal 14: "Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development."
The inclusion of oceans for the first time in the international-development agenda illustrates the ambitious and holistic view of challenges and solutions that nations are embracing. With the SDGs, nations are calling for a future in which nature is managed to drive economies, enhance well-being and sustain lives -- whether in Washington or Nairobi, on land or sea.
Fifteen years ago, nations convened at the UN and created an unprecedented set of guideposts, the Millennium Development Goals. In that timespan, the number of people living in extreme poverty was more than halved. But the oceans were not part of those goals. We now have the opportunity to focus minds globally on restoring healthy oceans for resilient economies and thriving communities.
This attention comes not a moment too soon.

Universal health coverage in a generation is achievable
As the father of four children, I know how important access to good, quality health care is. All parents aspire to be able to provide the same for their children. That's why we at the World Bank Group are working with our partners around the globe to make universal health coverage a reality for all.
Uniting finance and development has been a lifelong passion of mine. Earlier in my career, I supported then French President Jacques Chirac with the development of an international airline ticket solidarity tax to provide global public goods for the poor. This kind of innovative thinking eventually led to the creation of UNITAID which works to prevent, treat, and diagnose HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria more quickly, cheaply and effectively. Other innovative financing mechanisms include the International Finance Facility for Immunization and the Global Vaccine Initiative.
Old fuel for a new future: the potential of wood energy
The use of wood energy – including firewood and charcoal – is largely considered an option of last resort. It evokes time-consuming wood collection, health hazards and small-scale fuel used by poor families in rural areas where there are no other energy alternatives.
And to a certain extent this picture is accurate. A study by the Alliance for Clean Cookstoves found that women in India spend the equivalent of two weeks every year collecting firewood, which they use to cook and heat their homes. Indoor air pollution caused by the smoke from burning firewood is known to lead to severe health problems: the WHO estimates 4.3 million deaths a year worldwide attributed to diseases associated with cooking and heating with solid fuels. Incomplete combustion creates short-lived climate pollutants, which also act as powerful agents of climate change.
But wood is a valuable source of energy for many of the 2.9 billion people worldwide who lack access to clean cooking facilities, including in major cities. It fuels many industries, from brickmaking and metal processing in the Congo Basin to steel and iron production in Brazil.
In fact, the value of charcoal production in Africa was estimated at more than $8 billion in 2007, creating livelihoods for about seven million women and men, and catering to a rapidly growing urban demand. From this standpoint, wood energy makes up an enterprise of industrial scale.
So, instead of disregarding wood energy as outdated, we must think of the economic, social and environmental benefits that would derive from modernizing its use. After all, wood energy is still one of the most widespread renewable fuels at our disposal. We already have the technological know-how to enhance the sustainability of wood energy value chains. Across the European Union's 28 member states, wood and solid biofuels produced through "modern" methods accounted for nearly half of total primary energy from renewables in 2012.

Are we prepared for the next global epidemic? The public doesn't think so
Too often, the conventional wisdom in diplomatic or scientific circles is that the general public doesn't know what's good for them when it comes to foreign policy or tackling global threats. It's too complicated, the experts say; the public wouldn't understand. Yet new polling suggests that many in the public understand very well how global infectious disease outbreaks pose a serious threat to their lives and economic security - and they know what should be done about it.

In a Pareto efficient economic system there won't be any allocation of goods without affecting at least one individual negatively. With initial allocation of goods to set of individuals one can change to different allocations such that at least one individual would benefit but none would be affected negatively.
This optimum allocation or improvement is known as Pareto Improvement. Finally when no further Pareto improvement can be done it is known Pareto Optimum or Pareto Optimal.

With so many NFL teams going with a committee backfield the past few years, it's really hard to find that one running back who is going to have a spectacular fantasy football season. After much self debating and pondering on who I think could finally have a breakout year in 2012, here are five guys who I think could make a name for themselves and should be on everyone's radar come draft day. Keep in mind that these names are in no particular order in terms of value or 2012 stats.
DeMarco Murray is one of five running backs who could breakout in 2012.
1. Jacquizz Rodgers (Atlanta Falcons) – Michael Turner is slowly being phased out of Atlanta's offense, which is expected to be more pass heavy in 2012. Also, Turner has a lot of wear on his treads in the four years he's been a Falcon starter, carrying the ball 300+ times three out of the last four years, which included a whopping 377 in 2008. Turner may be coming off back-to-back 1300 yard rushing seasons, but he offers close to nothing in the passing game. Rodgers is already predicted to be involved in more passing and off-screen tackle plays. Rodgers is small at 5'9 and 196 pounds, but so was a certain guy named Warrick Dunn, who ran for 900+ yards four out of the six years he was in Atlanta. If Turner goes down with an injury, Rodgers most certainly can carve out a big role.
2. Isaac Redman (Pittsburgh Steelers) – Easily the top guy on this list, Redman figures to be the starter for most-or-all of 2012 while Rashard Mendenhall recovers from a late season ACL tear. In limited time over the last two seasons, Redman has tallied a respectable 4.8 and 4.4 ypc average. He also showed us a glimpse of what he could do as a starter when he rushed 17 times for 121 yards and caught two passes for 21 yards in the Steelers' Wild Card round loss to Denver last year. Mendenhall refused to admit that he will be put on the PUP list to start Week One, but I find it hard to believe he will be 100 percent considering he suffered the tear in Week Seventeen against the Browns. Redman could easily be a low-end RB2 with major upside.
3. Roy Helu (Washington Redskins) – It's so hard to predict what the Redskins are going to do with their backfield under Mike Shanahan. Tim Hightower signed a one-year deal, but he is currently dealing with a severe knee injury and really doesn't excite me as a full-time runner. His ceiling isn't as high as Helu's. Helu got off to a slow rookie start last year, but he did start five games and had at least 130 yards from scrimmage in four out of five of those games. A sign of things to come? Hopefully. Hightower has yet to be medically cleared to participate in OTAs, but could be ready for the start of training camp. And while I think we will see a committee again this year, Helu should lead the team in carries and make the most out of his opportunities on the field.
4. Bernard Scott (Cincinnati Bengals) – Even though I am pulling for him because he's on my dynasty squad, I had listed Benjarvus Green-Ellis as a running back to avoid this season. The Bengals are reportedly going with a committee system this year after letting Cedric Benson go to free agency in the offseason. A timeshare might actually help Scott's value. BGE was really nothing special in New England. He may have had his moments here and there. But the fact that Bill Belichick refused to give him the rock more than he did tells me Ellis won't be as big as some owners think in a new city. Scott has the upper hand in terms of knowing and being comfortable in the offense. And despite his pedestrian 3.4 ypc average in 2012, he played better than his stats dictate. I'd take a flier on Scott in the last few rounds and hope BGE continues to be nothing more than a part-time player at best. The fact that Marvin Lewis has yet to name a starter bodes well for Scott's chances at a decent amount of weekly touches.
5. DeMarco Murray (Dallas Cowboys) – I patted myself on the back after naming Murray as one of my sleeper picks for the 2012 season last July. After a record breaking 253 against the Rams in Week Seven, Murray went on to average 81.5 yards per game between Weeks 8-14. Unfortunately, his injury history reared it's ugly head after Murray missed the last three games with a fractured right ankle and high ankle sprain suffered against the Giants. With Murray, you get a guy who could push for his first 1000-yard season, but at the possible cost of him missing time with some sort of ailment. But in a perfect, injury-free world, 2012 could be Murray's official breakout season.
Besides the five guys I listed above, who do you consider as a player who could finally breakout this year?

Many prescription and nonprescription medicines can cause
diarrhea. A few examples are:
antibiotics cause diarrhea. Usually the diarrhea is
mild and will clear up without treatment. A more serious type of diarrhea
caused by the bacteria Clostridium difficile may occur
while taking the antibiotic or shortly after finishing the antibiotic.
Diarrhea may be a sign of serious reaction to a medicine, such as a toxic
reaction. Diarrhea is an early sign of toxicity for some medicines, including
lithium (such as Eskalith or Lithobid) and digoxin (Lanoxin).
If you think a medicine is causing
diarrhea, contact the doctor who prescribed it. The dosage may
need to be changed, or the medicine may need to be stopped.

An analysis of the Ad will help in assessing his magnetic personality and use of props that have helped Jamie to become so widely popular (Oliver, 2000). The paper is divided into a number of sections and these cover a literature review of communication and meaning and analysis of the Ad from different perspectives. Given below is a copy of the Ad to be analysed. Figure 1.1. Jamie Oliver Ad to be analysed 2. Theory and literature review The concept of meaning and linguistic turn of language is discussed by Tietze (2008) who suggests that meaning is transferred through a language sensitive enquiry. Metaphors, stories and discourses are related by the use of audio visual aids such as advertisements and product literature. Meaning is transferred through four dimensions of a language and these are descriptive/categorizing dimension; phatic dimension; performative dimension and hegemonial dimensions. Among these, descriptive/categorizing dimension and phatic dimension are more relevant since the former refers to a symbolic sign system where signs are combined with meanings. Advertisements are usually created so that they converge to the English label and different tropes such as synecdoche and metonym are used to create group identities. ...

Software issues, debate over young invincibles, delays, extensions, sticker shock are just a few of the myriad issues surrounding Obamacare. Ideally, Obamacare has been seen as a harbinger of major change in the way individuals purchase health insurance. However, Obamacare has something to offer to small businesses too. While small business have until October 2016 to confirm their health insurance plans to new federal rules, the below are a few things that small businesses should keep in mind.
Although most of the major Obamacare provisions apply to large organizations, with 50 or more employees, several incentives are in place for small businesses with 50 or lesser employees. Here, we round up four incentives Obamacare has in store for small businesses.
• SHOP (Small business Health Options Program) Exchanges: These exchanges were built specifically for the needs of small businesses. Traditionally, small businesses have had problems getting attention from any major health insurance companies offering better plans, incentives and more. With SHOP exchanges, Obamacare provides small businesses with a chance to pool their buying power and hopefully reduce the prevailing gap of 18 percent higher insurance premiums than larger firms.
• Health Care Tax Credits: Another incentive for small businesses – tax credits. Up to 50 percent of the amount paid by a small business toward employee health insurance is given back as tax credits. In order to be eligible for the tax credit, employers need to follow the below guidelines.
a. The business must be paying at least 50 percent of the health insurance cost of the individual employee. The costs of employees' family health insurance premiums don't apply.
b. Employees earning less than $50,000/yearly are eligible.
c. Insurance plans must have been purchased on SHOP exchanges
• Medical Loss Ratio Rebates – A core aspect of Obamacare is ensuring health insurance companies are spending their money on medical costs, not administration. According to the ACA mandate, any insurance company utilizing more than 20 percent of premium toward administrative costs is required to provide rebates to policyholders. Effectively, small businesses are eligible for these rebates, which further reduce their overall health insurance premium liability.
• Wellness Programs at Workplace – Obamacare follows the philosophy of making health insurance affordable by reducing the risk of health ailments across workplaces. One of its endeavors on this front is the Workplace Wellness Program, which encourages small businesses to provide a healthier workplace through incentives. These incentives are based on individual health performance, and trickle down to owners of small businesses in terms of up to 30 percent of the cost of health coverage, and 50 percent if the the health performance goal was related to tobacco use.
By taking advantage of these incentives, small businesses can reduce their health insurance liability by a significant amount. Other than meeting the above targets, there are some additional requirements placed on small businesses to qualifying for these incentives. A quick roundup of these requirements is presented here for quick reference.
• Small businesses were required to send a notice to all the employees by October 1, 2013 informing them about SHOP exchanges and the associated tax benefits employees might obtain by purchasing health insurance through these marketplaces.
• A Summary of Benefits and Coverage needs to be sent out to employees listing the health plans, their coverage, and their costs. This will help employees choose the right health plan for themselves through better understanding of the changes.
• Employers are required to exercise Medicare withholding on wages in lieu of the increase in Medicare Part A Hospital Insurance tax from 1.45 percent to 2.35 percent.
• Abolition of waiting periods more than 90 days from eligibility of employees for health coverage under health plans. The max waiting period can be 90 days.
When the SHOP exchanges, after their much-publicized delay, go live on October 1, 2014, most small business owners will want to take advantage of the incentives. Now is the time to meet the prerequisites set by the law and be ready for October 1.

Hoyer signed tender
Backup quarterback Brian Hoyer signed his restricted free agent tender in the past day, a league source confirmed.
Hoyer will make $1.92 million this season. A team would have needed to surrender a second-round pick if it signed Hoyer to an offer sheet.
There wasn't much of a market at that level, and the Patriots think too much of Hoyer to part with a pick, say, around the fifth round.
This is a pretty good deal for Hoyer when you consider that if he was drafted in 2009 — he was undrafted out of Michigan State — he would be making the minimum this season. Hoyer is making triple that and will be an unrestricted free agent next season.
