Interactions of proteins regulate signaling, catalysis, gene expression and many other cellular functions. Therefore, characterizing the entire human interactome is a key effort in current proteomics research. This challenge is complicated by the dynamic nature of protein-protein interactions (PPIs), which are conditional on the cellular context: both interacting proteins must be expressed in the same cell and localized in the same organelle to meet. Additionally, interactions underlie a delicate control of signaling pathways, e.g. by post-translational modifications of the protein partners - hence, many diseases are caused by the perturbation of these mechanisms. Despite the high degree of cell-state specificity of PPIs, many interactions are measured under artificial conditions (e.g. yeast cells are transfected with human genes in yeast two-hybrid assays) or even if detected in a physiological context, this information is missing from the common PPI databases. To overcome these problems, we developed a method that assigns context information to PPIs inferred from various attributes of the interacting proteins: gene expression, functional and disease annotations, and inferred pathways. We demonstrate that context consistency correlates with the experimental reliability of PPIs, which allows us to generate high-confidence tissue- and function-specific subnetworks. We illustrate how these context-filtered networks are enriched in bona fide pathways and disease proteins to prove the ability of context-filters to highlight meaningful interactions with respect to various biological questions. We use this approach to study the lung-specific pathways used by the influenza virus, pointing to IRAK1, BHLHE40 and TOLLIP as potential regulators of influenza virus pathogenicity, and to study the signalling pathways that play a role in Alzheimer's disease, identifying a pathway involving the altered phosphorylation of the Tau protein. Finally, we provide the annotated human PPI network via a web frontend that allows the construction of context-specific networks in several ways. © 2013 Schaefer et al. Source

Background: Interpreting in vivo sampled microarray data is often complicated by changes in the cell population demographics. To put gene expression into its proper biological context, it is necessary to distinguish differential gene transcription from artificial gene expression induced by changes in the cellular demographics.Results: CTen (cell type enrichment) is a web-based analytical tool which uses our highly expressed, cell specific (HECS) gene database to identify enriched cell types in heterogeneous microarray data. The web interface is designed for differential expression and gene clustering studies, and the enrichment results are presented as heatmaps or downloadable text files.Conclusions: In this work, we use an independent, cell-specific gene expression data set to assess CTen's performance in accurately identifying the appropriate cell type and provide insight into the suggested level of enrichment to optimally minimize the number of false discoveries. We show that CTen, when applied to microarray data developed from infected lung tissue, can correctly identify the cell signatures of key lymphocytes in a highly heterogeneous environment and compare its performance to another popular bioinformatics tool. Furthermore, we discuss the strong implications cell type enrichment has in the design of effective microarray workflow strategies and show that, by combining CTen with gene expression clustering, we may be able to determine the relative changes in the number of key cell types.CTen is available at http://www.influenza-x.org/~jshoemaker/cten/. © 2012 Shoemaker et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

Background: Influenza is a common infectious disease caused by influenza viruses. Annual epidemics cause severe illnesses, deaths, and economic loss around the world. To better defend against influenza viral infection, it is essential to understand its mechanisms and associated host responses. Many studies have been conducted to elucidate these mechanisms, however, the overall picture remains incompletely understood. A systematic understanding of influenza viral infection in host cells is needed to facilitate the identification of influential host response mechanisms and potential drug targets.Description: We constructed a comprehensive map of the influenza A virus ('IAV') life cycle ('FluMap') by undertaking a literature-based, manual curation approach. Based on information obtained from publicly available pathway databases, updated with literature-based information and input from expert virologists and immunologists, FluMap is currently composed of 960 factors (i.e., proteins, mRNAs etc.) and 456 reactions, and is annotated with ~500 papers and curation comments. In addition to detailing the type of molecular interactions, isolate/strain specific data are also available. The FluMap was built with the pathway editor CellDesigner in standard SBML (Systems Biology Markup Language) format and visualized as an SBGN (Systems Biology Graphical Notation) diagram. It is also available as a web service (online map) based on the iPathways+ system to enable community discussion by influenza researchers. We also demonstrate computational network analyses to identify targets using the FluMap.Conclusion: The FluMap is a comprehensive pathway map that can serve as a graphically presented knowledge-base and as a platform to analyze functional interactions between IAV and host factors. Publicly available webtools will allow continuous updating to ensure the most reliable representation of the host-virus interaction network. The FluMap is available at http://www.influenza-x.org/flumap/. © 2013 Matsuoka et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. Source

Motivation: Protein-protein interaction (PPI) databases are widely used tools to study cellular pathways and networks; however, there are several databases available that still do not account for cell typespecific differences. Here, we evaluated the characteristics of six interaction databases, incorporated tissue-specific gene expression information and finally, investigated if the most popular proteins of scientific literature are involved in good quality interactions. Results: We found that the evaluated databases are comparable in terms of node connectivity (i.e. proteins with few interaction partners also have few interaction partners in other databases), but may differ in the identity of interaction partners. We also observed that the incorporation of tissue-specific expression information significantly altered the interaction landscape and finally, we demonstrated that many of the most intensively studied proteins are engaged in interactions associated with low confidence scores. In summary, interaction databases are valuable research tools but may lead to different predictions on interactions or pathways. The accuracy of predictions can be improved by incorporating datasets on organand cell type-specific gene expression, and by obtaining additional interaction evidence for the most 'popular' proteins. © The Author 2011.

Erection has to be hard enough to penetrate the opening of female genitals. If you are attaining soft erections then chances are high that you are suffering from erectile dysfunction. The erection difficulties happen from time to time, and persistent softness of the male genitals is a serious issue to your mental and physical health.
Weak or soft erections are terrifying, but if you know how to cure it then the problem should not impact your life. The power of Ayurveda gave birth to natural erectile dysfunction remedies that help men at any age.
Know the major causes behind soft erections:
The absence of morning erections or consistent soft erections is the nature's way to alarm you about your poor health. If left untreated the issue can lead to serious problems like impotence or infertility. In order to cure soft erection, you must reach to the root of the cause. Here is a list of major reasons that are describing your underlying health problem:
1. Over masturbation: When things go beyond the limit, you have to face the consequences. Same applies to hand practices, you should refrain yourself from being exposed to erotic symbolism. Men who are compulsive uses of prohibited movies and literature indulge in hand practices more than needed, which ultimately stops the sensation and stimulation in the genital areas.
2. Bad Living Habits: Over intake of caffeine, chemical medicines, and alcohol outcomes in erectile difficulties. More than 70% of the patients belong to the category where their bad lifestyle is the major cause of their condition. If you are taking any of these excessively then it's high time to steer clear and start considering natural erectile dysfunction remedies.
3. Stress, Anxiety and Smoking: You should be able to handle stress and don't you dare to be a chain smoker to beat the work life stress and anxiety. Smoking does nothing good to your body; in fact, it will lower the testosterone levels and will become the major cause to your soft erections.
Cure soft erection the right way:
The most sensible way to cure soft erection is to go natural. The safe and sound tips to treat erection difficulties are listed below.
1. Be sensible, what are you drinking and eating. Stay hydrated.
2. Meditate and do regular exercise to improve blood circulation to the genitals.
3. Maintain healthy relationships by eliminating stress and bad living habits from your life.
4. If the problem still persists, try natural erectile dysfunction remedies like Tufan capsules and King Cobra oil.
How these remedies work?
Tufan capsules are the most trusted natural remedies to cure soft erections and the best part; it's free from side effects. By far, it is the expert recommended coping mechanism to adapt at any stage of your life. Its unique ingredients will help you in attaining stronger erections and you will be able to prolong the ejaculation. King Cobra oil is the most effective herbal remedy to treat erectile dysfunction. The revolutionary ingredients in this oil effectively improve the functionality of your genital organ. With regular massage of King Cobra oil and unfailing dosage of Tufan capsules, you will be able to cure soft erections to satisfy your partner.

You shouldn't be ,because these brains are only a food, which is famous for its unusual name and rich nutrition (营养). Brains as a food were invented more than 300 years ago by Fu Shan, an artist whose mother had been ill for a long time. To help her become well again, he studied medicine and invented a kind of soup (汤) made of meat, vegetables and a number of Chinese medicines. Rice wine was also used in the soup to help illnesses caused by old age. After taking the soup his mother got better little by little and lived a long life. Fu's soup became the talk of the town . Many people came to see him . One day a restaurant owner asked him what was in the soup . " I'll tell you ,"Fu said. "But if your restaurant is going to sell the soup you must call it brains because of its shape and colour. And your restaurant should be renamed after my mother." 61. The best headline ( 标 题 ) for this newspaper article . is A. A Good Son B. A Special Soup C. How to Make Brains D. How to Live a Long Life 62. The food is called brains because . A. it looks like brains B. it has animal brains in it C. Fu's mother liked the name D. it makes one clever and live longer 63. Before Fu told the restaurant owner what was in the food,one of the things he demanded was that . A. the restaurant shouldn't offer any other food B. the restaurant should use his mother's name C. the shape of the food must never be changed D. the food must be used to help sick people 64.The food was first invented to .
A. help the aged in the town B. improve people's health C. make a restaurant famous D. help a sick woman 65. What has made brains a popular food in Shanxi? A. They are served in many restaurants there. B. They are good for health and have a strange name. C. They are made of Chinese medicines and wine. D. They were invented a long time ago by an artist. B Sam and Joe were astronauts. There was once a very dangerous trip and the more experienced astronauts knew there was only a small chance of coming back alive (活着) .Sam and Joe ,however,thought it would be exciting though a little dangerous,"We're the best men for the job, "they said to the boss. "There may be problems, but we can find the answers." "They're the last people I'd trust,"thought the boss."But all the other astronauts have refused to go." Once they were in space,Joe had to go outside to make some repairs.When the repairs were done, he tried to get back inside the spaceship. But the door was locked. He knocked but there was no answer. He knocked again, louder this time , and again no answer came. Then he hit the door as hard as he could and finally a voice said,"Who's there?""It's me! Who else could it be?" shouted Joe. Sam let him in all right but you can imagine that Joe never asked to go on a trip with Sam again! 66. Most of the astronauts were unwilling to go on the trip because . A. it wasn't exciting enough B. they weren't experienced enough C. they thought they might get killed D. there was little chance of being selected 67. Why were Sam and Joe chosen? A. They were the only men who offered to go. B. The boss trusted them more than anyone else. C. They were the last people who wanted to go. D. The boss wanted them to get more experience. 68. What did Sam and Joe think the trip would be like? A. There would be serious problems. B. There wouldn't be any danger.
C. It would be long and tiring. D. It would be exciting. 69. Joe didn't want to work with Sam again probably because he thought Sam .

The bird was discovered by European sailors in 1507 on Mauritius (毛 里求斯) Island. When the sailors talked about the strange bird that could not fly, you can imagine people found it hard to believe their story. The Europeans who settled on Mauritius Island and the pigs they brought with them found the birds very good to eat. So large numbers of dodoes were killed and by 1681 no living dodes were found on the island. A few dodoes were brought to England in the 17th century, but for 200 years none have been seen alive. This is the reason for the phrase "as dead as a dodo". Because they died out completely, the dodes became very well-known. . 76.The writer tells us that the dodo A. existed between 1507 and 1681 B. has existed since 1507 C. doesn't exist now D. may have existed 77.What was so unusual about dodoes as a bird?

D. They were all killed. 78. Dodoes are no longer seen on Mauritius Island because they . A. were killed by pigs B. were all taken to England C. have been driven away by the settlers D. have all been killed for food 79. The phrase "as dead as a dodo" is sometimes used to describe (形容) something that . A. cannot protect itself from being eaten B. cannot fly or move fast C. no longer exists D. is sure to die 80. From the second paragraph, whose story did people find it hard to believe? A. The Europeans'. B. The dodoes'. C. The settlers'. D. The sailors'. 第二卷(两大题,共40分) Ⅳ.短文改错(共15小题,计分15) 短文改错 此题要求你对一段文章改错。先对每一行作出判断是对还是错。如果是对 的,在该行右边的横线上画一个对勾(√) ;如果有错误(每行不会多于一个 错误) ,则按情况改错如下: 此行多一个词:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉,在该行右边横线上写出该 词,并也用斜线划掉。 此行缺一个词:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧) ,在该行右边横线上写出 该加的词。 此行错一个词: 在错的词下划一横线, 在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词。 注意:原行没有错的请不要改。 例: A farmer∧his son were at work near a river when (a)and they heard a cry coming from it.

Dragon Mania Legends is a unique game where you must breed dragons. There are over 300 of them. Along the way you develop your dragon island and explore your environment, with over 100 points of interest. An interesting 3-on-3 multiplayer fighting element adds to the fun.
It's a great game for families. The graphics are bright, colorful, and well rendered, with great accompanying sound effects and in-game audio. The battle system is quite unique and makes for fun and engaging gameplay.
The amount of food it takes to level up once you've reached 20 is kind of ridiculous. Got a "connection error" in the middle of a game and it force closed. Expensive card packs.

Zero Balancing Health Association
The Zero Balancing Health Association (ZBHA) was founded in 1991 to help people experience health, wellbeing and wholeness through the study, practice and development of Zero Balancing touch therapy.
The ZBHA offers advanced study continuing education programs to health care professionals who want to use skilled touch in their practices. Combining Eastern and Western approaches to healing, Zero Balancing is a powerful body-mind therapy that addresses the relationship between energy and structures of the body. In a session that typically lasts 30 to 40 minutes, the practitioner uses finger pressure and gentle traction on areas of tension in the bones, joints and soft tissue to create fulcrums, or points of balance, around which the body can relax and reorganize.

Tampa Bay Rays Introduce "DJ Kitty": The Best Marketing Gimmick the Marlins Never Thought Of
Our beleaguered Florida Marlins have tried all sorts of game day gimmicks to drum up local support. They were the first MLB team to have cheerleaders, and have tried everything from pint-sized mini-mascots to a dance squads made up entirely of obese men. What they have not tried is shooting a video of a cat wearing their jersey and pretending to DJ. Yes, the Tampa Bay Rays latest bit of marketing (combined with the fact they're first place in their division, much unlike the Marlins) is almost enough to get us to change allegiances.
Call us bandwagon fans if you want, but Dear God its a cat that friggin DJs. According to The Awl the cat video plays during home games on the jumbo-tron. Apparently the only song DJ Kitty knows is "Jump!" by the Movement, but that's alright. Just look at him!
I mean look at that!
It's just too much for words.

"Floating Fields" Wins Shenzhen UABB Award And is Set to Continue Through 2016
The Urbanism\Architecture Bi-City Biennale (UABB) in Shenzhen finished in February, but at least one element of it lives on. Floating Fields, a project by Thomas Chung, Associate Professor of Architecture at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, was installed at the UABB site at the Dacheng Flour Mills in Shekhou as a demonstration of a concept to return agriculture to the Shenzhen's bay with floating agricultural fields. The project, which forms the major landscape piece at the Biennale, received the Biennale Organising Committee Award at the event's closing ceremony.

Schmidt Hammer Lassen and Gottlieb Paludan to Design World's Largest Waste-to-Energy Plant in Shenzhen
Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects and Gottlieb Paludan Architects have won an international competition to design the world's largest waste-to-energy plant on the outskirts of Shenzhen, China. The new "Shenzhen East Waste-to-Energy Plan will be capable of incinerating 5000 tonnes of waste per day - "one third of the waste generated by Shenzhen's 20 million inhabitants every year," according to the team. In addition to incinerating waste and generating power, the plant will serve as a place to teach residents about its purpose.
Shan-Zhen: How a Small Irish Town Influenced the Mega-City Shenzhen
At the dawn of the age of transatlantic commercial aviation, Shannon, a small town on the west coast of Ireland, was thrust into the spotlight. By 1959 it had been developed as the world's first Free Trade Zone and New Town, providing a new—and persistent—business model for US multinationals seeking cheaper ways to operate in Europe. On the other side of the world, China was beginning to develop its urbanisation policy and was interested in how Shannon had successfully decentralised its administration from Dublin. After many visits in the early 1980s by Chinese leaders to study this model, under the direction of Deng Xiaoping, the Shannon planning system was used as a template in the formation of Shenzhen and has since been rolled across China.
New Horizon_architecture from Ireland is the flagship exhibition programme for Irish architecture and the built environment as part of Irish Design 2015. Shan-Zhen was first presented at the Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture in 2015.

Below is OPEN's competition entry for the second phase.
AD Interviews: Hubert Klumpner / 2015 Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture
At the opening to the 2015 Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture (UABB) we took a moment to speak with Hubert Klumpner, one of the event's six curators. A professor from the ETH Zurich Swiss Institute of Technology and partner at Urban Think Tank, Klumpner, together with Alfredo Brillembourg, spearheaded the curation of "Radical Urbanism," a sub-theme of the entire Biennale's wider theme, "Re-Living the City."
"...we believe that we have enough buildings, enough construction, enough infrastructure. And it is now time to consolidate it and find the qualities within the built. This is not against future production, it is more about a consideration of what we really want in cities." - Hubert Klumpner
Read on to learn how the "Radical Urbanism" exhibition reveals what we can learn from the interventions and ad-hoc, bottom-up initiatives. Also, don't miss Klumpner and Brillembourg's essay, "The Evolution of Radical Urbanism: What Does the Future Hold for Our Cities."
Steven Holl Architects Unveil Proposal for Shenzhen Art Museum and Library
Steven Holl Architects has unveiled their design for a new public library and museum in a developing area of Shenzhen, China. With the goal of creating a public space with two buildings connected below the plaza level, the massing concept is based on a three-part removal. While the design did win the most votes from the jury in the overall competition, city officials chose a different scheme to continue with.
The Evolution of Radical Urbanism: What Does the Future Hold for Our Cities?
Earlier today in Shenzhen the 6th Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture (UABB) opened its doors to public. Under the overall theme "Re-Living the City," curators Alfredo Brillembourg and Hubert Klumpner of Urban Think Tank headed up the "Radical Urbanism" exhibit in the main venue. Brillembourg and Klumpner invited the exhibition participants to show how we can learn from ad-hoc and "bottom-up" initiatives for alternative urban solutions. In the following essay - originally printed in the UABB 2015 catalogue - the curators call for us to "rethink how we can operate within the city, learn from its emerging intelligence and shap[e] its outcomes to radical and tactical ends."
The notion of a radical urbanism draws us unavoidably into the realm of the political. Imagining a more equitable and sustainable future involves an implicit critique of the spatial and societal conditions produced by prevailing urban logics.[1] As such, we are not only reminded of Le Corbusier's famous ultimatum, "architecture or revolution," but its generational echo in Buckminster Fuller's more catastrophic pronouncement, "utopia or oblivion."[2] Both were zero-sum scenarios born of overt social disjuncture, whether the deprivations and tensions of the interwar period, or the escalating conflicts and ecological anxiety of the late 1960s. While the wave of experimental "post utopian" practices that emerged in the early 1970s positioned themselves explicitly in opposition to perceived failures of the modern movement, these disparate groups shared a belief – however disenchanted – with their predecessors in the idea that radical difference was possible, as well as a conviction that a break was necessary.
gmp Designs New Headquarters for CNPEC in Shenzhen, China
Following a closed competition, which included practices like OMA, KPF and Henn Architects, gmp Architects was selected to design the new CNPEC Headquarters in Longgang, Shenzhen, Southeast China. The power corporation called for a new building that could house over 4000 employees. Read more about gmp's design proposal after the break.
KSP Jürgen Engel Wins Competition for New Shenzhen Art Museum and Library
KSP Jürgen Engel Architekten has won an international competition for the new Shenzhen Art Museum and Library. Selected over schemes by Steven Holl, Mecanoo, OMA, and others, the winning project takes the shape as three "elements" - an art museum, library and archive, and new "Culture Plaza" - united by a "stone podium."
"The main concept behind the design was to create a space that brings together art, culture, and an urban environment – a space where people and culture are encouraged to interact," says the architects.

6 Compete to Design World's Largest Waste-to-Energy Plant in Shenzhen
Six teams have been shortlisted to design the world's largest waste-to-energy plant in Shenzhen, China: Arup, Atkins, AECOM, Gerber Architekten, Schmidt Hammer Lassen with Gottlieb Paludan Architects, and local firm Tanghua Architects. Aiming to manage Shenzhen's growing population (and waste accumulation), the "Shenzhen East Waste-to-Energy Plant" plans to incinerate 5000 tonnes of waste daily and generate an estimated 550 million kWh per year.
2015 Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture

The Central Board of Secondary Examinations (CBSE), have declared the Chennai and Delhi region results yesterday(31 May 2011). According to the reports, 35% of the total number of CBSE Class X students in the Chennai region (which includes Maharashtra and nine other states and Union Territories) opted for the school-based assessment this year while 60% of students in Mumbai opted for school-based assessment.
Many schools had only 10-15 % of their students opting for board examinations. It has been observed that, the toppers at most of the schools had opted for the school based test. In Mumbai schools, many principals have been reportedly believing that in the long run, very few students will appear for the board examination, because there is no difference in the report card and evaluation process. For the first time school based assessment was experimented and has been well accepted by schools and students across India. Henceforth, only those candidates who want to apply to junior colleges may appear for the board exams.
As per reports, at Apeejay School in Nerul, out of a batch of 187 students, only 37 appeared for the board examination this year. At Kendriya Vidyalaya-IIT Powai, from 181 students, only 18 opted for the board examinations. At Rajhans Vidyalaya in Andheri, over 60% students opted for school-based assessments.
25% students from Kendriya Vidyalaya 2, Colaba, had appeared for the board exams this year but the school authorities believe that next year's batch will surely opt for school-based assessment. The school-based assessment will reduce a lot of anxiety among students, making them more confident to appear for the exam in their school set-up, which will be a familiar set up for them and will reduce the unnecessary fear of competition.

Ouch @ 3:45
No kidding! That's my worst nightmare although it's never happened to me. Nice stoke nonetheless.
that hasnt happen to me till that clip..... honestly hurt like hell, then I started laughing because I knew Epic was behind me and how funny it must looked to have split a tree.
Any damage or just sore the next day?
not even sore the next hour... I am young enough to still bounce.
Wow rough ending...straddling a tree and creek wading. No doubt you bounce better than I do. Those are some tight exciting trails you ski. I found myself dodging and weaving from this side of the screen.
Very sweet tree runs!
I am using that :) lets bounce! I guess you like the anti bump skiing i was doing at Saddleback?
strandling a tree was literally one of the biggest oh shit moments of the year. The creek was annoying as well. i had to go in and change all my clothes....
thanks Tog and everybody else.
U Crazy!
It really doesn't. I'm amazed how flat it looks, in one of those flat looking runs the whole slope was moving and one skier got buried by his own sluff.
Niiiice. Great skiing and it looked like you were having fun.
That's one of the better and most exciting POV's I've seen posted up here (that wasn't shot from the helmet cam of Hoji...).

Inventing Jewish Ritual by Vanessa L. Ochs
Book DescriptionVanessa Ochs invites her readers to explore how Jewish practice can be more meaningful through renewing, reshaping, and even creating new rituals, such as naming ceremonies for welcoming baby girls, healing services, Miriam's cup, mitzvah days, egalitarian wedding practices, and commitment ceremonies. We think of rituals-the patterned ways of doing things that have shared and often multiple meanings- as being steeped in tradition and therefore unalterable. But rituals have always been reinvented. When we perform ancient rituals in a particular place and time they are no longer quite the same rituals they once were. Each is a debut, an innovation: this Sabbath meal, this Passover seder, this wedding-firsts in their own unique ways. In the last 30 years there has been a surge of interest in reinventing ritual, in what is called minhag America. Ochs describes the range and diversity of interest in this Jewish American experience and examines how it reflects tradition as it revives Jewish culture and faith. And she shows us how to create our own ritual objects, sacred spaces, ceremonies, and liturgies that can be paths to greater personal connection with history and with holiness: baby-naming ceremonies for girls, divorce rituals, Shabbat practices, homemade haggadahs, ritual baths, healing services. Through these and more, we see that American Judaism is a dynamic cultural process very much open to change and a source of great personal and communal meaning. The ceramic "Tree of Life" spice container that appears on the cover of Inventing Jewish Ritual is by Susan Garson of Garson and Pakele Studios, www.garsonpakele.com

Work Absence in Europe

October 2004
IMF Working Paper No. 04/193
Work absence is an important part of the individual decision on actual working hours. This paper focuses on sickness absence in Europe and develops a stylized model where absence is part of the labor-leisure decision made by workers and the production decision made by profit-maximizing firms, with insurance provisions and labor market institutions affecting the costs of absence. The results from a panel of 18 European countries indicate that absence is increased by generous insurance schemes where employers bear little responsibility for their costs. Shorter working hours reduce absence, but flexible working arrangements are preferable if labor supply erosion is a concern.

Ulster Unionist MPs are split on the issue, but they could help the Government survive the vote by abstaining in protest at the Home Office going too far, as they see it, with the ban on handguns.
Willie Ross, one of the party's MPs, said: "This legislation is worse than the poll tax and the Dangerous Dogs Act. There has been no thought given to it whatsoever."
Without their nine votes, the Opposition parties fear they will be unable to force the Government to accept a total ban on handguns when the Firearms Bill is voted on in the Commons.
The Home Secretary is facing a growing backlash from Tory MPs who share the Unionists' view that the Government has gone too far. A group of Tory MPs who support shooting will seek an urgent meeting next week with Michael Howard, to seek exemptions in the proposed law for starting pistols for athletics, and the humane killers used by veterinary surgeons.
The Tory MPs opposing the Government's plans to ban handguns include Jerry Wiggin, Henry Bellingham and Michael Colvin. The Tory MP John Carlisle, who has also made it clear he opposes the legislation, was unavable for comment yesterday. "He has gone shooting," said his office.
Nicholas Budgen, the Tory MP for Wolverhampton SW, raised protests in the Commons warning that the arguments of the pro-gun lobby might be drowned out in the rush to pass a ban. Tony Newton, Leader of the Commons, told Mr Budgen that the general feeling in the House was that it was best to make "early progress" on the issue. But Mr Budgen added: "Speedy and particularly speedy and agreed legislation often leads to ill-considered and bad legislation, as certainly occurred with the Dangerous Dogs Act."
Labour will allow a free vote on its side, along with the Liberal Democrats. A few Labour MPs are expected to oppose a total ban and abstain or vote with the Government, reducing Labour's chances of victory.
If the Government wins the vote, it is expected that Labour will not oppose the third reading of the Firearms Bill.
Labour sources said last night that they expected to lose the key vote on the bill, which is likely to be held next month. "There is a majority in the Commons for a total ban but we can't win with the whip on the Tories," a senior Labour source said.
Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the SNP and Plaid Cymru are lining up to vote in favour of a total ban. They are expected to be joined by three Tory MPs - Hugh Dykes, Robert Hughes and the former Home Office minister David Mellor.
If the 17 Ulster MPs voted with the opposition, the three Tory rebels would be enough to defeat the Government by four votes. The four SDLP MPs are expected to vote with Labour but the Government is counting on some of the nine official Unionists led by David Trimble to rescue it from defeat.
Three Democratic Unionist Party MPs led by Ian Paisley may abstain but the independent Unionist, Robert McCartney, is expected to support the Government.Reuse content

Sudan: ICRC staff member killed
21-03-2014 News Release
Geneva/Khartoum (ICRC) – A staff member of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was killed in Al Fashir, Darfur, on 20 March. Najmaddin Salih Musa Bishara, a Sudanese national, was working as a warehouse storekeeper. He was hit by a stray bullet while on his way home from work in a private car accompanied by three others.
"We are deeply saddened by the death of our colleague Najmaddin Salih Musa Bishara", said Jean-Christophe Sandoz, head of the ICRC in Sudan. "The exact circumstances remain unclear and we are in touch with the police investigating the case".
In Sudan, ICRC staff have been providing life-saving humanitarian aid to people affected by armed conflict. "We call on all those who bear weapons to respect people working for the ICRC or for the broader International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and indeed everyone carrying out humanitarian work in Sudan", Mr. Sandoz said.
This is the second time in little over a month that someone working for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement in Sudan has been killed. On 16 February, a Sudanese Red Crescent Society volunteer died in a landmine explosion in South Kordofan.
