Early education initiatives are undervalued as economic development strategies. Research shows that economically disadvantaged children enter kindergarten 1-2 years behind, but high-quality early education programs increase success in school, graduation rates, workforce readiness, and job productivity while decreasing crime rates, teen pregnancy, welfare dependency, and education costs. Nobel Prize-winning economist James Heckman argues that remedying deficits later is far more expensive than initial investments in early education, which can yield returns of $4-$17 for every $1 spent. The United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona has significantly expanded access to accredited child care and early education programs for low-income families over the past 20 years.
Fried carefully analyzes the works of influential photographers such as Jeff Wall, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Cindy Sherman across ten chapters. He explores concepts like the exploration of the everyday, the role of the viewer, and theatricality. Fried provides exhaustive detail on the artworks themselves and supports his positions with references to art history and conversations with artists. While it remains to be seen if Fried has proved his thesis, the book offers valuable perspectives on the history and development of contemporary photography.

This document summarizes work on digital normalization, a technique for reducing sequencing data size prior to assembly. Digital normalization works by discarding reads whose k-mer counts are below a cutoff, based on analysis of k-mer frequencies in the de Bruijn graph. It can remove over 95% of data in a single pass with fixed memory. Digital normalization enables assembly of large datasets in the cloud by reducing data size and memory requirements. The document acknowledges collaborators and funding sources and provides links for code, blogs, papers, and future events.
A coalition brings together various community and government sectors to develop and carry out strategies to impact the whole community on issues like substance abuse. The document discusses data from surveys that show high rates of underage drinking and binge drinking among youth. It provides definitions of binge drinking and notes that younger adolescents reach risky blood alcohol levels from fewer drinks. The document advocates for environmental strategies and policy changes to restrict alcohol availability and marketing to reduce substance abuse problems in communities. These include policies around retail outlets, taxes, advertising, and server training.
Seismic waves are waves that travel through the Earth due to earthquakes or explosions. There are three main types of seismic waves: P waves, which travel fastest; S waves, which travel slower than P waves; and surface waves, which are the slowest and cause the most damage. Seismographs can detect and measure seismic waves, recording the ground shaking on paper to indicate the strength of the waves.
This document provides an overview of free web-based resources for 21st century teaching and learning. It introduces several tools such as Tagxedo, LiveBinders, Edmodo, Rubistar, and Khan Academy. For each resource, it outlines doing a resource cycle which includes introducing the resource, hands-on exploration, small group discussion, and reflection. It encourages educators to try out the resources and think about how they could apply them in their own classrooms.
This document summarizes Dr. C. Titus Brown's work improving the chicken genome and transcriptome. It discusses the current state of the chicken genome assembly (galGal2-4) and limitations, including issues with microchromosomes. It then compares the Moleculo and PacBio long-read sequencing technologies, showing that while Moleculo has higher throughput and lower error, it does not resolve missing genes. The document evaluates how different gene models (Ensembl vs GIMME) can affect pathway prediction from RNA-seq data, finding more complete pathways with GIMME. It stresses that reference genomes and gene models should be regularly updated to generate more accurate hypotheses from mRNA-seq data.

Volcanoes form when cracks develop in tectonic plates, allowing magma from the mantle to rise up and harden on the surface. Volcanic eruptions occur when rock in the mantle melts due to high temperatures and pressure, rises through the crust, and releases gases, heat, and rock at the surface. The largest volcano is Mauna Loa in Hawaii, which is 56,000 feet tall. There are approximately 500 active volcanoes known worldwide, though many more exist underwater. Volcanic eruptions can negatively impact human health through air pollution and increase global temperatures by releasing gases into the atmosphere.

Maps are complex to create and maintain due to the large amount of data required. Traditional mapmakers collect basic data from various sources like government offices and aerial photography. To create navigable maps, field teams collect data by driving many vehicles over many miles to gather layers of information like road geometry and attributes. Maintaining accurate maps is very expensive, estimated at 40% of company revenues. Alternatively, OpenStreetMap allows collaborative editing of maps by volunteers to create free geographic maps. Waze aims to solve this by having drivers actively and passively report real-time road and traffic conditions to create a live map through a free mobile app.
The document discusses considerations for building mobile location-based services (LBS) applications. It outlines NAVTEQ's offerings for developers, including high-quality digital maps for 77 countries, access to mapping APIs, sample map data and developer resources through their NN4D network. The document also describes opportunities in LBS like navigation, content, social networking and advertising. It promotes NAVTEQ's Galileo satellite competition and special topic prize for innovative LBS apps using positioning technologies and map data.
