This continued 'fatal imbalance' in medical R&D points to the urgent need to develop and deliver groundbreaking new treatments for the world's poorest and most neglected patients.
Two stories of people in Myanmar who went through treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis with MSF in Myanmar.
Experts comment on a report by MSF and the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative (DNDi) which highlights the relative lack of medical research for diseases affecting millions of people in poverty.
Over the past half century, there have been unprecedented improvements in health outcomes, spurred in part by unparalleled scientific progress in the pharmaceutical sector. Yet access to the benefits of medical progress and scientific advancement has not been equitably shared and many innovation gaps remain.
Despite important progress in research and development (R&D) for global health over the past decade, only a small fraction of new medicines developed between 2000 and 2011 were for the treatment of neglected diseases.
"Fighting Neglect" charts MSF's 25 years of experience in diagnosing and treating Chagas disease, sleeping sickness, and kala azar in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and the Caucasus.
MSF Nurse Cindy Gibb discusses her experience in Tajikistan, where MSF has opened a new hospital ward to treat children with tuberculosis and their families.
Dr. Unni Karunakara discusses the state of chronic medical emergency in Central African Republic, calling on the government and international organizations to commit to the fight against treatable diseases.
MSF is treating migrants in Italy for neglected diseases like tuberculosis and Chagas.
Despite recent advances, there's still a need to make noise about "the silent disease."
In this op-ed Dr. Unni Karunakara, international president of MSF, calls for increased commitment to the elimination of neglected diseases.
MSF's Dr. Marta González talks about the challenges of diagnosing and treating kala azar in India's Bihar State.
Thousands of people with Chagas disease will go untreated in coming months due to a shortage of benznidazole, the first-line drug used in most endemic countries.
Chagas disease, or American trypanosomiasis, is a parasitic disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) and is transmitted mainly by insects called triatomines, also known as 'assassin bugs' or 'kissing bugs'. It is endemic in 21 Latin American countries and cases have also been reported in the U.S., Europe, and Japan.
Recently, Chagas projects have seen their treatment capacities limited due to a shortage in benznidazole, a first-line drug manufactured by only one laboratory in Brazil.
Founded in 2003, the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) brings together the academic, medical, public health, and pharmaceutical worlds to create effective drugs to treat neglected diseases like Chagas disease, sleeping sickness, and visceral leishmaniasis.
In addition to integrating diagnosis and treatment pf Chagas disease in health centers, MSF visits remote communities and schools assisting the populations unable to reach the clinics.
Through its Campaign for Access to Essential Medicines, MSF has been closely following the developments in the world of access to medicines, vaccines and diagnostics.
"The kala azar treatment is very hard. While on kala azar medicines, Deng became very sick with jaundice. He had to receive a blood transfusion from his uncle, which did help him."
"This year, the outbreak is particularly bad. We've seen almost eight times the number of cases as we did during the same time last year..."
"We found that two factors were irregular this year. First, it was highly unusual that cases would begin as early as July. This is seven weeks earlier than last year. Secondly, the high number of cases..."
Like his mother and elder sister, two-year-old Pal suffered from kala azar, also known as leishmaniasis, a very serious disease, before receiving treatment from us in Pagil, Southern Sudan.
Brussels, September 6, 2010—As finance ministers from the European Union gather in Brussels for a formal meeting to discuss the establishment of an EU-wide financial transaction tax, MSF calls on them to dedicate a proportion of the receipts from any fundraising mechanism to global health.
MSF's two facilities in Imey in the Somali region of Ehtiopia provides crucial health care services to people who would otherwise go without.

By Dr. Unni Karunakara, incoming president of MSF's International Council, and Dr. Bernard Pecoul, executive director of the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative
In the two months since MSF opened a kala azar treatment center in eastern Sudan, some 400 patients have been treated
One out of three prisoners with tuberculosis is released before the completion of treatment and faces enormous obstacles once outside the penitentiary system.
The World Health Organization estimates that one million children each year develop TB, the vast majority of whom live in resource-poor settings.
New York, February 24, 2010 – The Obama administration's Global Health Initiative (GHI) does not go far enough in combating the most lethal neglected tropical diseases, which affect an estimated one billion people, the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) said today.
Over one billion people are infected with one or more of the 14 diseases defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).
More than 400 million people are at risk for the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) visceral leishmaniasis (kala azar), sleeping sickness, Chagas disease, and Buruli ulcer.
With help from a patient and national staff, Kathryn Sisterman, a U.S. nurse on her first assignment with Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in northern Central African Republic (CAR) developed a song to teach people about human African trypanosomiasis, also called sleeping sickness or trypano. Here, she describes how the song came to be.
MSF is responding to outbreaks of kala azar—a severe parasitic disease—in Southern Sudan. The emergency is in several locations across the eastern part of the region, and MSF is treating patients in its clinics in Pibor and Lankien, both in Jonglei State, and using mobile teams in Rom, in Upper Nile State, to actively trace patients.
Geneva/Kampala, September 22, 2009 - NECT (Nifurtimox-Eflornithine Combination Therapy), the first new treatment in 25 years against Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) or sleeping sickness, is now available. Endemic countries have now begun the process of ordering the new combination treatment and kits through the World Health Organization (WHO). Developed by DNDi and its partners, NECT cuts the cost of treatment by half and significantly reduces the burden on health workers. The announcement was made today at the International Scientific Council for Trypanosomiasi Research and Control (ISCTRC), in Kampala, Uganda.
Half a year after Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) were forced to abandon its project in the northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) due to the security situation, it is still not safe to return. Meanwhile, infection levels of sleeping sickness, which was a main focus of MSF's activities in the area, are on the rise and many vulnerable people are at risk to the fatal disease.
"Since we left, at least 1,000 people have died of sleeping sickness in the region. It is unacceptable. We cannot stand here with our arms crossed and let people die that way. As soon as the situation allows, MSF will go back."
A new treatment has potential to make a difference in the fight against sleeping sickness. The fatal parasitic disease, which has ravaged Africa for decades, is causing thousands of deaths each year and has been spreading from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) with refugees and displaced, who are fleeing from conflict and do not have access to proper treatment.
Few diseases with symptoms like heart enlargement and failure, antiquated medicine and over 300,000 current reported U.S. cases would receive almost no attention, but such is the case for Chagas disease. Until now, that is.
In October 2009, MSF and the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) hosted a symposium at UCLA in Los Angeles to raise awareness about Chagas disease in the US and Latin America, discuss the challenges of increasing diagnosis, treatment, and R&D, and produce calls for action.
"There are 10 to 15 million who have Chagas," said Gemma Ortiz, who heads the Chagas campaign for Doctors Without Borders. This year, the organization vows to "break the silence" of Chagas disease, which kills nearly 14,000 each year.
Primarily affecting poor people throughout Central and South America, an estimated 14 million people have Chagas disease, and about 15,000 die from it every year.
Madrid, July 9, 2009 — The international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) today launched a campaign to raise awareness of the parasitic disease Chagas. MSF is calling on countries where the disease is endemic to stop neglecting the disease by moving beyond prevention activities to increased diagnosis and treatment.
Millions of people are infected with Chagas disease yet they do not know. They can die in silence, without asking for help, without knowing why. It's time to act: diagnose and treat now!
CNN's Vital Signs visits with an MSF team in Bolivia on the trail of this neglected killer disease.
Barcelona/Geneva, New York, May, 19, 2009 – The World Health Organization (WHO) has cut short its annual health ministers meeting because of influenza A (H1N1) preparations and has postponed discussions about Chagas disease. Much needed progress in diagnosing and treating people for this neglected disease must not be further delayed, warned the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) today.
Geneva/New York, May 15, 2009 – A new treatment option for sleeping sickness, a fatal disease that threatens 60 million people across sub-Saharan Africa, has been added to the Essential Medicines List (EML) of the World Health Organization (WHO). The inclusion of NECT (Nifurtimox-Eflornithine Combination Therapy) is based on an application submitted by the non-profit Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi), supported by the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and Epicentre, MSF's epidemiological research center.
Geneva/New York, February 23, 2009 — MSF and the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) called today for more sustainable funding for research and development (R&D) to tackle deadly, yet neglected diseases, such as sleeping sickness, visceral leishmaniasis, and Chagas disease, that affect millions of people around the world.
MSF welcomes recognition by UK drugs company GlaxoSmithKline that patents act as a barrier to research and development and that patent pools offer new ways to stimulate research into neglected diseases. Promises now need to be turned into action.
New Orleans, Paris, Geneva; December 9, 2008 – Positive results from a pivotal, multi-center, multi-country Phase III trial investigating an improved treatment for the advanced stage of sleeping sickness were presented yesterday at the 57th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene held in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. This trial shows conclusively that NECT is a safe, effective, and practical treatment.
Rio de Janeiro, April 17, 2008 – Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) welcomes the launch in Brazil of a new drug against P. Falciparum, the most dangerous type of malaria. Developed by DNDi (Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative) in partnership with Farmanguinhos/Fiocruz, ASMQ is the first drug against malaria that combines artesunate (AS) and mefloquine (MQ) in one fixed dose. ASMQ is an important additional tool for better treatment for a disease that continues to kill over one million people each year globally, and kills a child every 30 seconds.
New York, NY, October 31, 2007 - In a study published today in the inaugural issue of PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) medical teams detail a dramatic increase in visceral leishmaniasis, also known as kala azar, in the Bakool region of south-central Somalia. The current conflict in Somalia and the lack of health infrastructure makes it both difficult to address the problem and to assess the true magnitude of the impact of the disease.
Yaoundé/Geneva, July 31, 2007 – Mortality rates and the medical and nutritional situation among the refugees that have been entering Cameroon for over a year have exceeded emergency thresholds. In response to this situation, the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has begun targeted food distribution to meet the vital needs of this vulnerable population. Now more than ever, it is essential for humanitarian actors to mobilize as quickly as possible.
With the Nigerian government filing a lawsuit against the U.S. drug company, Pfizer, for clinical trials it conducted during the 1996 meningitis epidemic in Nigeria, Dr. Jean-Hervé Bradol, president of the French section of Médecins Sans Frontières, reviews MSF's work in Nigeria that year. He emphasizes the need for more clinical research that addresses the lack of treatment options for people in Africa.
In late December 2006, after four years of treating people living with HIV/AIDS in Coatepec, MSF transferred that responsibility to the country's public health agencies. Preparation for the handover had been underway for more than a year. The transfer was implemented gradually, concluding only when the agencies taking responsibility were ready to ensure continuity of care. MSF continues to provide treatment to people living with HIV/AIDS in Puerto Barrios and Guatemala City.
Atlanta, November 15, 2006 — Preliminary results from a study conducted by the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) show that significantly shorter and simplified treatment of African sleeping sickness (human African trypanosomiasis — HAT) could be possible in the near future. Announcing the study today at the 55th annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in Atlanta, the organization stressed that measures must be undertaken to ensure that this treatment can be used as soon as possible at country level, and that older, toxic treatments are phased out."
Human African Trypanosomiasis, also known as African Sleeping Sickness, is a fatal and much neglected disease that continues to plague parts of Africa. The drug most commonly used to treat the disease is so toxic that it kills one in 20 patients. While a better drug exists, it is too complex to use in resource-poor settings. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), sleeping sickness has made a disturbing comeback over the past few decades.
Geneva/Mexico City, November 16, 2004 - The current system for health research and development is failing to bring the benefits of medical progress to the poor, according to the medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) on the opening day of the Ministerial Summit on Health Research, "Bridging the Know-Do Divide to Achieve the Millennium Development Goals," in Mexico City.

A few people have been getting confused, but the afterburner only works when the yellow bar is charged, and it drops to zero if you shoot or get shot (to avoid ruining the 4th point in the list below)
Also, if you want to start in a destroyer, press 'End' to self-destruct in your fighter.
Okay, so the initial game concept was basically like this:
- Huge space battles (with several distinct forces)
- Intelligent AI
- Allied ships
- Giving the player no significant advantage other than their playing skill
As far as we're concerned we accomplished all of that, and in doing so we've made something that feels quite unique to play. Now we're just hoping that you folks agree =]
And to any webhosts who read this, you are all welcome to host this game on your sites, so long as you dont attempt to claim ownership of the game or change it in any way, and you make sure that you display it correctly x.x (500x500).
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars July 30, 2010
its awsome most of the time but like this last time i got 10 fighter 1 destroyer and 1 testudon vs. 53 fighters 2 destroyers and 2 testudons and all the other 3 came after me not eachother
Rated 5 / 5 stars July 11, 2010
too... much... AWESUMNESS! Music... too... cool... aaaaaargh!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars June 18, 2010
Love it but
The enemies are too fast i can never chase one.And the screen is too small.If i do chase one i lose it because it is fast and it goes out of the screen
Rated 5 / 5 stars May 17, 2010
great graphics, unique gameplay...
...and hugely addictive. this idea is too great to stop after just one game.
how about these ideas for the sequel:
-points to spend on the own force (e.g. ship=1 point; fighter=3 points; testudon=5 points; upgrade all ship's/fighter's/testudon's weapon/speed/manoevres/shields...)
-ONLINE MODE! ONLINE ONLINE ONLINE! this would REALLY rock in online multiplayer mode
-quick restart. seriously. I was on a really high level and got killed, then there was only a red and a blue testudon left and they cruised around all the time without coming near each other. such moments SUCK.
-and PLEASE, DO NOT add more of a story. that would SO spoil the game
thanks for this unique, addicting and hugely rocking game!

This movie is just looking better all the time.
And hell, LOTR was a amazing set of movies. Peter Jackson may have had to cut some corners and create a bit of fill, but that would have happened with any director, and I bet not many of them would have been able to produce the same quality that Jackson did.
I'm really looking forward to this.

WASHINGTON -- In a last-minute bid to minimize the most painful impacts of federal spending cuts and perhaps blame Republicans will propose this week allowing the government to choose where to cut.
They plan to introduce proposals to allow flexibility while maintaining the overall level of cuts mandated by a 2011 law.
The proposal is in response to the Obama administrations repeated complaint that the law doesnt allow managers the flexibility to shift the reductions from such areas as teachers or programs to help female victims of violence. Its also a move to shelter the GOP from blame should the cuts cause widespread pain.
As a leader, he should want as much flexibility as he can get from Congress, said Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, the chairman of the Republican Governors Association. When did he ever go to his Cabinet secretaries, his agency heads and say, What would be the least painful . . . way?
Democrats criticized the proposal, however, saying it would lock in the overall level of cuts $85 billion for this fiscal year and $1.2 trillion over 10 years which they argue would hurt the economy. Theyll propose smaller spending reductions supplemented by tax increases.
The overwhelming majority of Americans want us to compromise before our neighbors, friends and family members get pink slips or notices that they can only work for a few days a week this month, said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
Both proposals are expected to be unsuccessful in a divided Congress, leaving lawmakers scrambling to act just days before the cuts are to start taking effect. As of Monday, the two sides were not negotiating. President Barack Obama will travel Tuesday to Newport News, Va., to talk about the impact of defense cuts.
The reductions known inside the Beltway as sequestration stem from a compromise between both parties to raise the nations debt ceiling in 2011. Both sides agreed to the automatic cuts as a doomsday scenario to force themselves to find a more palatable way to reduce projected budget deficits. They did not find an alternative, however.
The first round of reductions postponed from January is estimated to be $85 billion. But the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicts that agencies will reduce spending by about $44 billion, with the remaining cuts coming in future years.
The White House has spent months describing in detail what the reductions might mean in each state and agency, from Head Start programs to law enforcement officers. The administration has blamed the impact in part on the fact that the 2011 law gave it no room to move money around to meet essential services.
There is very little flexibility in terms of how to make those cuts happen, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said last week. The White House didnt ask Congress to give the administration the flexibility to pick what programs would be slashed.
The fact that the White House isnt banging on our door for flexibility . . . is mind-boggling, said Don Stewart, a spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
Supporters and opponents say Obama wants to avoid the reductions altogether while blaming Republicans for the most severe cuts. They could score political points this way, said Tad DeHaven, a budget analyst for the Cato Institute, a libertarian research center.

stock to buy today
I Just Got Another "Strong Buy" Signal…
If you've been joining our twice-a-week get-togethers over at Strategic Tech Investor, you know that I'm a focused and disciplined investor - and that I ignore fads and refuse to chase "hot tips."
I'm also very price-sensitive: Although I'm hunting for stocks capable of delivering "moonshot" price gains, I won't pay a penny more than my charts or "black box" system tells me they're worth.
To enforce that discipline - and to help pass along to you all that I've learned through the years - I developed the set of five rules that we talk about here each week.
But one of my best tools is also one of my simplest. It's a roster of companies whose stocks I'd someday like to own, but that don't currently meet my stringent criteria.
I call it my "Watch List."
And through the years, this simple shopping list for stocks has ended up delivering some of my all-time biggest winners...

Politicians Reach For Their Revolvers
"You serve at the pleasure of the Secretary of State who appoints you and disappoints you" quipped Dame Liz Forgan, the outgoing Chair of the Arts Council after she was rather unceremoniously sacked from her role by the Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt. This was before he was politically reincarnated as the Secretary of State for Health. The unforgivable sin she committed was to defend the value and importance of the arts and resist the financial cuts made to arts and culture budgets. Whilst his own trespasses may have been forgiven, he was not prepared to forgive the trespasses of others, especially not for the sake of the arts.
It was Richard Godwin's excellent piece in today's Evening Standard titled "You never see our politicians doing culture" that brought the quote to mind and which refers to an incident when Hunt's replacement, Maria Miller, was asked which cultural events she had been to recently. She was stumped and eventually cobbled together that she had seen "Three Sisters, a Chekhov play at the New Vic". As Godwin points out, if "the Culture Secretary feels the need to spell out that Three Sisters is a Chekhov play, gets the name of a famous London theatre wrong and needs a special adviser present at all times, it does not say much for this government's inner life."
Yet this is nothing new. Almost twenty five years to the day, the BBC screened an episode of Yes, Prime Minister dealing with the same issues. The Prime Minister in the hugely successful series, Jim Hacker, is worried about being attacked by the arts lobby because of the paltry increase in funding his Government is giving to the arts. He invites various actors, critics and directors to Number 10 and suffers the same humiliation as Miller when asked which was the last play he saw at the theatre?
Hacker: "Erm, uh, let me see, er Hamlet.
Critics (malevolently): "Whose?"
Hacker (solemnly): "Shakespeare's"
Critics: "No, who was playing Hamlet…(mischievously) Henry Irving?"
One could argue this was satirical comedy and ought to be taken in that vein. However, the very fact that a quarter of a century later we have life imitating art with the Culture Secretary demonstrating how little personal interest she takes in the arts herself stands as a representative indictment of the political classes. Lest we forget that Ms Miller's full title is the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. The media and sport elements are more democratic. One can always rely on a politician to ingratiate themselves with what they consider to be popular cultural taste. Why run the risk of appearing aloof and out of touch by frequenting the theatre, opera or ballet when you can provide a running Twitter commentary on Britain's Got Talent, Strictly Come Dancing or X-Factor and flaunt your man/woman-of-the-people credentials to all your followers. As the apocryphal quote attributed to the nineteenth century French politician Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin declares "There go the people. I must follow them, for I am their leader."
The folly of this mindset is that Britain really does have talent and much of it is in the arts and cultural sphere. It ought to be celebrated and championed by politicians. The theatre offers politicians a chance to contemplate, reflect and be inspired away from their daily duties.
This week sees the opening of Stephen Simon's Port at the National Theatre, a play set in Stockport in 1988 which charts a thirteen-year odyssey for two children, Rachael (11) and Billy (6) largely abandoned and growing up in the deprived suburban shadows of Manchester. It has been described as "a celebration of the human spirit as Racheal looks to the future and opts for something better." When has a politician failed to remind us that they went into politics to make life better?
However, I doubt if many will attend. The attitude is nicely summarised by the theatre critic who chides the hapless Jim Hacker saying: "When you say you believe in the theatre, it's like believing in God, you mean you believe that it exists." For a lot of politicians, one gets the feeling they couldn't be bothered whether it existed or not.

Following last weeks news that the UK had fallen back into recession, the Chancellor, George Osborne said: The one thing that would make the situation even worse would be to abandon our credible plan and deliberately add more borrowing and even more debt.
However, it looks as though, despite previously backing the Chancellors austerity plans, the OECDs opinion differs, with the think-tank saying that George Osborne could let the debt-reduction target slip a year without suffering a backlash in band markets.
The acting head of the OECDs UK desk, Christophe Andre has said that the UK government could respond to the double dip by letting the automatic stabilisers play and doing a little more infrastructure investment partly financed by other measures such as changes to VAT and a bit more borrowing.
Mr Andre also said: I dont think the markets would react adversely if the deficit kept on track on a cyclically-adjusted basis but debt came down a year later than planned adding that he was talking about something small, up to about half a percent of GDP, which would equate to about £7.5 billion more borrowing.
The latest comments from the OECD is not the first time that the think-tank has suggested the Chancellor loosen the purse-strings; with similar calls coming in May last year.

A leading Tory MP, John Redwood, has called for the Chancellor, George Osborne, to slash taxes to help drag Britain out of recession.
The former Cabinet minister has called for Gordon Brown levels of income and capital gains tax to similar levels; following the release of data earlier this week which suggested that the UK was in its first double-dip recession since the 1970s.
Despite the Chancellor cutting the top rate of income tax from fifty-pence during the recent budget, along with introducing faster reductions in corporation tax, Mr Redwood has claimed that George Osborne should go back to Gordon Browns tax rates adding he got the tax rates right that we need for an enterprise economy.
He should cut the top rate of income tax back to 40p and capital gains tax to 20p, to go alongside his corporation tax reforms.
Former cabinet minister, Mr Redwood also added that lowering taxes would enable the Treasury to collect more revenues because Britain was more competitive; whilst the Labour party have also called on the Chancellor to come up with an economic plan B, with Ed Miliband claiming the austerity plan to cut as far and fast as you can had failed and urged Britain to take a lead from Barack Obamas America.

According to the most recent CBI survey, manufacturing output showed modest growth in the first three months of the year, amid a general feeling of optimism, which is somewhat at odds with data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) which indicated yesterday that the UK was back in recession.
Ian McCafferty, the CBIs chief economic adviser, said that optimism was at its highest for two years, although remaining fragile, saying: "Given Europe is still our biggest export market, the outlook for UK manufacturing will remain uncertain until the eurozone crisis is resolved."
And he expressed surprise at the figures from the ONS, which showed a 0.1 per cent contraction in manufacturing output, saying that the CBI survey had pointed to a 0.1 per cent rise.
Other economists were equally surprised at the ONS data. The Bank of England found the figures perplexing and Andrew Goodwin, senior economic advisor to the Ernst & Young ITEM Club said: Our reaction is one of disbelief.
ONS chief economist Joe Grice defended the data, saying at a news conference yesterday: "We have no reason to suspect that these figures are any less reliable than would usually be the case."
"We have a very large set of respondents to base our results on - 40,000 for the economy as a whole," he said. "We go through our returns carefully, we go back to respondents and if anything looks odd, we question it, sometimes several times."
However, economists point to a 0.6 per cent discrepancy in their fgures in 2009, with Chris Williamson of Markit saying: "As was the case three years ago, there is a worry that by heralding a double-dip recession, misleading, gloomy official data shatter the revival of consumer and business confidence.

Official figures released earlier today by the Office for National Statistics have shown that the UK has slipped back into recession the countrys first double-dip recession since the 1970s.
The latest figures have shown that during the first quarter of 2012, the economy shrank by 0.2 percent, which follows on from the contraction of 0.3 percent during the final quarter of 2011 which officially is defined as a double-dip recession.
Many economists had expected the UK economy to avoid a double-dip recession, however a three percent fall in construction output the biggest fall in three years coupled with slow service sector growth; has caused the economy to struggle.
The Office for Natiaon Statistic's preliminary estimates of GDP are the first released within the European Union, and are based partly on estimated data. On average, they are revised by 0.1 percentage points up or down by the time a second revision is published two months later
However, in further bad news for the Treasury, the Bank of England, have warned that there is a risk of another contraction during the second quarter of 2012, due to an extra public holiday; and unlike the previous two quarters, the Bank of England do not appear keen to provide further monetary stimulus through quantitative easing asset purchases.

Official figures show that although the government, despite borrowing more than expected last month, have still managed to hit their borrowing target over the year.
The Office for National Statistics have revealed that during March, public sector net borrowing, excluding interventions such as bank bail-outs, came in at £18.2 billion. However, because previous months' borrowing had been revised down, the government still met its target of £126 billion for the year.
The borrowing from the government during the last year was down from £136.8 billion the previous year which was significantly helped by downward revisions in the previous 11 months.
A Treasury spokesperson said: "Today's data shows that the forecast for 2011/12 is on track, with public borrowing down by £11 billion compared to the previous year.
Economists believe the government will have a tougher task meeting forecasts to reduce borrowing to £120 billion during the current financial year; mainly as a result of the economy still struggling and unemployment rising; which is expected to hurt tax revenues and increase benefit payments.
Despite the forecast for the next twelve months being gloomy, the government is aiming to eliminate the deficit by 2016 / 2017; with the Treasury spokesperson adding: "This shows that the government's plan to reduce the budget deficit is working."

UFC on Versus 3 is Big Success
UFC made its debut in Louisville, KY at the YUM! Center. This was the first UFC event in Louisville and was a hugh success according to fans in attendance. The main card was televised live on Versus TV. In the main event, Diego "The Dream" Sanchez won a close decision over Martin "Hitman" Kampmann that was booed by fans. Sanchez recieved significantly more damage than Kampmann. Again, this calls UFC judging into more controversy following several fights ending in draws. Most recently at UFC 127, BJ Penn and John Fitch was declared a draw when most watching the fight felt that Fitch actually won the fight. Looking at the post fight interviews, sanchez looked like the loser with a brutally beaten up face. Sanchez improves to 25-4 with the win; Kampmann falls to 17-5. UFC President Dana White awarded $60,000 bonuses to both men for the Fight of the Night.
In the co-main event. Mark Munoz finished CB Dollaway with a TKO in 54 seconds of the first round. Munoz rocked Dollaway with a right hand and sent him to the canvas. Munoz immediately moved in for the finish and he got it, with two more flush right hands bringing in referee Mario Yamasaki to halt the bout. With the win, Munoz improves to 10-2; Dollaway falls to 12-4.
A star may have born in the middleweight division, as Long Island's Chris Weidman lived up to all the pre-fight hype about his UFC debut and scored a dominant three round unanimous decision over Alessio Sakara. And he did it on two weeks' notice, replacing Rafael Natal against "Legionarius". Scores were 30-27 across the board.
Former WEC bantamweight champion Brian Bowles made a triumphant return after a year-long layoff due to injury, submitting Damacio Page for the second time in two tries via guillotine choke in the UFC debut for both men. "That's my signature move," said Bowles, who earned a $40,000 bonus for Submission of the Night. "I hit it all the time in the gym. He was out for a second. I didn't want to hold on to it too long and hurt him." Bowles ups his record to 9-1; Page falls to 12-6.
Steve Cantwell finally returned to the Octagon Thursday night at the KFC Yum! Center, but he may have wanted to stay on the sidelines considering the one-sided thrashing he took at the hands of Cyrille "The Snake" Diabate, who defeated the Las Vegan with a shutout three round decision. Scores were 30-27, 30-25, and 30-26 for Diabate, who improves to 18-7-3; Cantwell, who has now lost three in a row, falls to 7-4. Tonight was his first start since a September 2009 loss to Brian Stann.
Former WEC standout Danny Castillo was on top of his game in his bout against Joe Stevenson, as he scored a hard-fought three round unanimous decision win to notch his first UFC victory. Scores were 30-27 and 29-28 twice for Castillo.
WEC veteran Shane Roller made a successful UFC debut in lightweight action, knocking out Thiago Tavares in the second round. "That was the first knockout I've ever had in a fight," said Roller, who earned a $40,000 Knockout of the Night bonus for his efforts. "It felt perfect. I knew it as soon as I landed the punch." Roller was the aggressor throughout the opening round, but it was Tavares' crisper shots that got the job done, especially when a left hook rocked Roller and knocked him into the fence with 2:20 left.
Japan's Takeya Mizugaki got a handful from late replacement Reuben Duran, but the bantamweight contender was able to hold off the newcomer for a close split decision win. Scores were 30-27, 29-28, and 27-30 for Mizugaki, who improves to 14-5-2; Duran falls to 7-3-1.
Scores were 30-27, 29-28, and 27-30 for Mizugaki, who improves to 14-5-2; Duran falls to 7-3-1.

Wayne- No doubt that the PDGA is not for everyone. Not everyone is interested in competitive golf. Some players just want to have a good time. The current members of the PDGA receive benefits at PDGA events. Example: not having to pay the $10 fee *which I don't agree with* However there are those players who look to play in a worlds competition.

Lisboa Plaza Hotel Lisbon Guest Reviews (13)
I really want to go back to this hotel again! It is the opposite of bling, and the essence of quiet and perfect service in an unbeatable location whether one wants to travel by taxi or by bus, tram or metro. The reception rooms are very elegant, the bedroom I had was really comfortable (it didn't have a trouser press but I'm sure that facility would be provided immediately if requested), the breakfast buffet was more than wonderfully comprehensive. The bar food was exactly what I wanted. The staff are so courteous and thoughtful and will go to endless trouble to help you. A great place.

Consistent with the tripartite mission of the school of medicine, that is, patient care, medical education and research, we seek to improve the health and health care of families and communities in the Los Angeles metropolitan area through the provision of cost effective, accessible, high quality medical care for all. Further, we sponsor an extensive medical education program for medical students, family medicine residents, fellows and other trainees. Finally, our research division addresses the intercept between academia and community through a focus on vulnerable, elderly and underserved populations.
It has been my privilege to have practiced family medicine for 30 years in settings as disparate as Chicago's Cook County Hospital, a migrant health center on the Mexican border, Brown University and UCLA. Long ago I concluded that medical care was a unique social good as opposed to a market commodity, as it is necessary to function in society. Cognizant of the challenges the nation faces as it moves forward with health care reform, we are especially interested in the science of health care delivery, that is, how we can provide cost effective care of the highest quality to individuals and their families.
Family Medicine remains a most crucial component of our health care system as it concentrates on the individual as opposed to a specific organ or age group with an emphasis on continuity of care in the context of family and community. In that context we are working with other academic centers to develop a new model of care, often called a "Patient Centered Medical Home," to more effectively diagnose and treat individuals and families impacted by the nation's epidemic of chronic diseases.
Our focus is on the provision of scientifically-based comprehensive care, for individuals as well as family members of all ages. We provide pediatric, pre-natal, obstetric, adult and woman's health as well as geriatric care. Further, we offer preventive care, cancer screening and immunizations for all age groups. The UCLA-Santa Monica Family Health Center is our primary clinical site.
We hospitalize our pediatric and adult patients, including obstetrical services, at the Santa-Monica-UCLA Medical Center and Orthopaedic Hospital, a teaching hospital which is part of the larger UCLA Healthcare system. Should you require more specialized care, such as a liver transplant or high risk neonatal care, you will be cared for at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center or the Mattel Children's Hospital located on the main UCLA campus. Mindful of the large medically indigent and underserved population in our community, we also provide care at the Mid-Valley Family Health Center which is located within an LA County Dept. of Health facility in Van Nuys, the federally supported Venice Family Clinic in Venice and its newest site, the Colen Family Health Center in Mar Vista.
Our faculty includes more than 45 nationally recognized clinicians, educators and researchers. Their research and educational interests are varied and all linked to UCLA's broader mission.
As one of the largest academic medical universities in the country, UCLA sponsors many exceptional training programs including our family medicine residency program which consists of 36 residents. Further, our fellowship programs include Sports Medicine as well as the Primary Care and Health Services Research Fellowship program and the Robert Woods Johnson Clinical Scholars program. The latter is one of only four such programs in the US and focused on policy as well as research. Moreover, we are involved in educating UCLA medical students during all four years. Finally, we house the innovative UCLA Hispanic International Medical Graduate (IMG) program.
Consistent with UCLA Healthcare's broader mission our department is innovative, academic, clinically oriented and dedicated to improving your health as well the health of all in the community. I invite you to explore this site for additional information.

Literate Pooch
A hilarious setup from the nineteenth century showed Lewiston's creative side.
Nearly a century before William Wegman and his weimaraners proved that pups in outrageous outfits could convey something amusing (and, frankly, mildly disturbing) about the connection between man and his best friend, two Lewiston photographers had already perfected Wegman's shtick. But for Harry L. Plummer and his partner, Jennie Flagg, dressing up this dog in a bonnet and plaid shawl back in 1894 probably had more to do with drawing attention to their new photography business than it did creating fine art. The two photographers had taken over the photography accounts of Curtis & Ross just the year before (according to city directories, Curtis & Ross split off the dry-plate manufacturing side of their business and sold it to Eastman Kodak), and they must have been desperate to draw attention to their Lisbon Street studio. Rather than the purebreds that Wegman poses in locations from Rangeley to Manhattan, though, Flagg and Plummer have chosen this older (judging by the grey around its snout) mixed-breed for their model. The pet shows remarkable obedience and talent in keeping the wire-rimmed spectacles balanced on its nose and in its ability to remain perched on its hindquarters without tipping over the wooden chair. (One has to wonder if the leather upholstery survived this photo shoot unclawed.)
Although the limitations of the photographers' glass-plate negative made much of the wording on the front page of the Lewiston Evening Journal illegible to those who would have picked up this cabinet card, the wonderful magnification properties of computers allows us to discern both the date — Tuesday, August 28, 1894 — and several of the headlines and advertisements. The Royal Baking Powder Company, on the far right of the page, occupied the same premium location above the fold that was responsible for making it into one of the country's most recognizable brands. One headline on the left side of this 5 p.m. edition discussed a circus' arrival — always a popular event in the Twin Cities — while another at center trumpeted "Republican Enthusiasm" for the upcoming election.
Finally, these two clever photographers' composition has been given an inadvertent boost by the most expansive article on the front page, a story that details not the goings-on in Lewiston but rather the "Defeat after Defeat" of French troops battling Tuareg nomads near Timbuktu. For people living in Lewiston around the turn of the century, a story of war from the depths of the Sahara would surely have seemed as out of place as a photograph of a dog dressed up as an old woman.

Not Just One, But Many Lessons
Parents can start teaching children as young as two about money, and there is no age cutoff. So says the President's Advisory Council on Financial Capability (PACFC) in their final report released last week. The report provides recommendations to improve … Continue reading

First off I want to quote a Jack Carson line from about 15 minutes into the beginning of the film -- "Mr. Mains' charm escapes me, it always has." I would however change the name to 'Mr. Mason'. I don't find James Mason the least sexy or attractive, and certainly not alluring to a young girl, whether she be Ester Blodgetts' age or Lolita (even less).
Secondly, I find this movie nothing but a showcase for Judy to sing. She barely did any acting except when she was singing with her hand and arm movements, and facial grimaces. Don't get me wrong, I love to listen to her, but near the end of her career she was just trying too hard. Her singing was amazing in this so I'm not knocking it, but she must have had a weight problem during filming. Did anyone else notice how, when she had a little more weight on her, she looks just like Liza?
Other things also confuse me. I didn't see the great Hollywood career rise and fall as promised. The guy drank - Why? Was he just spoiled by his money and fame, or was there something deeper? Why was Ester so eager for someone to love? She left home on her own to pursue a career, and it seems like that Tom was always around for her, so why the need to be in love? I guess I seem hard but having been married to two men with mental problems, I've seen how they handled them. My first who slapped me around all the time, broke ribs and sprained wrists was always lovey and soooooooo sorry and it would never happen again (Ha, ha, ha). Then second hubby was told to quit drinking or he would lose the happy life he and I had carved out - - so . . . . he quite drinking. My first son is a remake of his father, but the second son is just like his stepfather, steadfast, honest, and cautious. Norman Main was just a man who cried for help, but when he got it, he turned his back on it every time. Drowning himself was just the final piece of cowardice. Again he left Vicki holding the bag, and she, poor idiot, took it.
I think with a John Ford type of director, this could have been a much better movie. I could be prejudiced because of Mason, but the only other choice I have is the original squeaky Janet Gaynor, and greasy Frederick March. I saw the 1976 version with Barbra and Kris, but that was long ago and I barely remember it, plus, Kris was just starting to act, and he wasn't really good at it yet, besides the part was supposed to be for Elvis. Altogether, this is a very dark movie. There is very little happiness in it, and altho I know it is an anthology of a Hollywood marriage, I think a little charm and fun should have been included.

Vt. Tax Dept. notes homestead declaration changeFebruary 01,2013
MONTPELIER The Vermont Department of Taxes is reminding residents that theres a change in the tax law regarding homestead declarations.
In the past, property owners had to file the declaration whenever there was a change in ownership or status of the property.
But starting this year, property owners must file such declarations annually by tax day, April 15.
Property in Vermont is considered nonresidential until it is claimed as the owners homestead.
A property owner must file a homestead declaration if the owner owns and occupies the property as his or her primary residence and is domiciled in Vermont.
Tax Commissioner Mary Peterson says filling the declaration is critical to paying the correct amount of tax.MORE IN This Just InMaybe talking about life insurance isnt as bad as a root canal or as hard as talking with your...
