Human Nonsyndromic Hereditary Deafness DFNA17 Is Due to a Mutation in Nonmuscle Myosin MYH9 The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 67, Issue 5, 1 November 2000, Pages 1121-1128 Anil K. Lalwani, Jayne A. Goldstein, Michael J. Kelley, William Luxford, Caley M. Castelein and Anand N. Mhatre Abstract The authors had previously mapped a new locus—DFNA17, for nonsyndromic hereditary hearing impairment—to chromosome 22q12.2-q13.3. DFNA17 spans a 17- to 23-cM region, and MYH9, a nonmuscle–myosin heavy-chain gene, is located within the linked region. Because of the importance of myosins in hearing, MYH9 was tested as a candidate gene for DFNA17. Expression of MYH9 in the rat cochlea was confirmed using reverse transcriptase–PCR and immunohistochemistry. MYH9 was immunolocalized in the organ of Corti, the subcentral region of the spiral ligament, and the Reissner membrane. Sequence analysis of MYH9 in a family with DFNA17 identified, at nucleotide 2114, a G→A transposition that cosegregated with the inherited autosomal dominant hearing impairment. This missense mutation changes codon 705 from an invariant arginine (R) to histidine (H), R705H, within a highly conserved SH1 linker region. Previous studies have shown that modification of amino acid residues within the SH1 helix causes dysfunction of the ATPase activity of the motor domain in myosin II. Both the precise role of MYH9 in the cochlea and the mechanism by which the R705H mutation leads to the DFNA17 phenotype (progressive hearing impairment and cochleosaccular degeneration) remain to be elucidated.

At the Speed of Sound: Gene Discovery in the Auditory System The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 69, Issue 5, 1 November 2001, Pages 923-935 Barbara L. Resendes, Robin E. Williamson and Cynthia C. Morton Abstract As auditory genes and deafness-associated mutations are discovered at a rapid rate, exciting opportunities have arisen to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying hearing and hearing impairment. Single genes have been identified to be pathogenic for dominant or recessive forms of nonsyndromic hearing loss, syndromic hearing loss, and, in some cases, even multiple forms of hearing loss. Modifier loci and genes have been found, and investigations into their role in the hearing process will yield valuable insight into the fundamental processes of the auditory system.

From deafness genes to hearing mechanisms: harmony and counterpoint Trends in Molecular Medicine, Volume 12, Issue 2, 1 February 2006, Pages 57-64 Christine Petit Abstract The study of hereditary hearing impairments provides a unique opportunity to deal with two objectives simultaneously: (i) identification of the causative genes and the underlying pathogenic process in each form of deafness; and (ii) elucidation of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of hearing. This review highlights the breakthroughs achieved during the past 12 years, with respect to their medical impacts and advances in basic scientific knowledge. To date, this research relies extensively on mouse models to study human forms of deafness. But, can mouse models sustain genetic approaches to study the physiology and pathophysiology of the auditory system and to develop and test drugs? Abstract | Full Text | PDF (234 kb) |

Myosins have been implicated in various motile processes, including organelle translocation, ion-channel gating, and cytoskeleton reorganization. Different members of the myosin superfamily are responsible for syndromic and nonsyndromic hearing impairment in both humans and mice. MYH14 encodes one of the heavy chains of the class II nonmuscle myosins, and it is localized within the autosomal dominant hearing impairment (DFNA4) critical region. After demonstrating that MYH14 is highly expressed in mouse cochlea, we performed a mutational screening in a large series of 300 hearing-impaired patients from Italy, Spain, and Belgium and in a German kindred linked to DFNA4. This study allowed us to identify a nonsense and two missense mutations in large pedigrees, linked to DFNA4, as well as a de novo allele in a sporadic case. Absence of these mutations in healthy individuals was tested in 200 control individuals. These findings clearly demonstrate the role of MYH14 in causing autosomal dominant hearing loss and further confirm the crucial role of the myosin superfamily in auditive functions.

Beverly McIver, the acclaimed painter who's represented locally by Grimaldis Gallery, lights up Raising Renee, the moving documentary that premiered on HBO last night. McIver has exhibited her work in solo shows at Grimaldis in 2003 and 2007 and lectured at the BMA and the Reginald Lewis Museum, and she's well-known in art circles for her narrative paintings that explore notions of race, relationships, and family. In fact, McIver's family members—including her mother, father, and sisters—have been her subjects for years. Raising Renee, the documentary, brings those paintings to life in startlingly beautiful ways by providing an intimate and unflinching portrait of McIver's family, especially the complex relationship between Beverly and her sister, Renee, who is developmentally and intellectually disabled.
Renee lived with their mother for her entire life in Greensboro, North Carolina. But after the mother passed away, McIver brought Renee to her home in Arizona, where she was teaching at the time. Filmmakers Jeanne Jordan and Steven Ascher capture the challenges faced by a rising art star, as she navigates between an intense career and intense home life. Because McIver does it with humor and pluck and a generous helping of candor, the film transcends feel good sentimetality and succeeds as a compelling portrait that's both provocative and irresistable—just like McIver's paintings.
You can catch the film on HBO2 this Saturday or watch it On Demand. And the next time you see McIver's work at Grimaldis, you'll feel a kinship to the people in those paintings and enormous respect for the woman who created them.

Al Gore Accuser: Paid to Tell Her Story?
by Free Britney at .We reported her accusations in graphic detail last week, but Molly Hagerty, Al Gore's sexual assault accuser, faces myriad questions about her credibility.
Namely, that she went shopping her story for money years after the fact.
Police in Portland, Ore., announced that they are reopening the investigation into allegations of sexual abuse against former the former Vice President.
The accusation of unwanted sexual contact came from massage therapist Molly Hagerty, who was called to his hotel room at 4 a.m. on Oct. 24, 2006.
Gore says he received a massage, but denies acting inappropriately. Hagerty says that he repeatedly forced himself upon her, despite her objections.
He was never charged and the case was dropped due to insufficient evidence. It's being reviewed, but there are reasons to be suspicious of Hagerty:
Why didn't she just leave?
She said she feared she would be raped, a somewhat dubious claim in itself, or "accosted by some security detail," when Gore had no detail that night.
Why did she wait weeks to make her initial complaint to police?
Hagerty waited six weeks to mention this, but she contends she told her friends immediately, and police may be interested in interviewing those people.
Why did she cancel interviews with police regarding the case?
Hagerty nixed three interviews with detectives about her criminal complaint. Three years later, Hagerty changed her mind again and decided to pursue it.
Did she receive money to tell her story?
The million-dollar question, possibly literally. Hagerty has twice been interviewed by the National Enquirer, which unabashedly and routinely pays sources.
As the Rielle Hunter-John Edwards and Tiger Woods-Rachel Uchitel scandals prove, that doesn't mean they lie. But it does make you question motive.
Do you believe Al Gore sexually abused Molly Hagerty?

I am sure that tipper gore is NOT divorcing al because he didn't cut the grass or take out the garbage! I think this story is TRUE and there is MUCH MORE that we don't know... His daughter is also divorcing so I am sure this story is SO MUCH BIGGER that it has destroyed their entire family..... gore is trash and a liar so anything he does would not be surprising at all.
You're saying that women lie about sexual abuse? Okay, I'll remember that the next time a woman accuses a man. It's funny the idea that women lie about sexual assault usually outrages feminists. But when the man being accused is a liberal democrat, it's fine to accuse the accuser. What hypocrisy.
She sure sounds fishy to me. A more plausable story, since she claims to have DNA evidence is that she willingly performed a sex act,{hand massage}in order to get evidence to shake him down later.Seriously doubt Al Goreis a rapist or predator. It would have come out long before now.Seriouly doubt he got phsical with her.She also could have collected Dna from his bathroom towels or other personal item.As far as her friends go, if she got a big payday,she could be giving them a big piece of the pie to coraborate her story. Gee, where's Gloria Alred? Maybe the other bimbo clients weren't that lucrative.Wish these money and celebrity seekers would all just go back into the woodwork from whence they came.

great site
Please check out my new Elvis site
It's from a fan to fans! With loads of unreleased audio, and video, to suit everyone
I hope you all enjoy it, for as long as it lasts!
great site
Very cool, Keith.
I checked some of the audio tracks, some of which I had never heard before.
Great site Keith...
TCB Chris.
Keith, most impressive site there. I've really enjoyed all the great audio rarities you've shared with us here in the past. You've got some real ear candy and you do top-notch work with it. I'm going to enjoy going through some of the other things on your site I haven't heard or seen before. Many thanks.
...you won't forget me when I go.
Thanks for your site. You are a very well informed fan and I enjoy your posts on Fecc.

Well I heard the news.
I've been enjoying your site also Keith. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you all seem to enjoy the kind of material I'm putting on the site, it makes it all the more worthwhile for me, seeing that people like it.
I've added another nice little rarity tonight Separate Ways - Strings Overdubs
I'm sure you've all heard the master of 'Always On My Mind' that has "Strings" overdubbed. These "Strings" were removed from the final Master, but the "Strings" overdub was finally released in the '80's on the album "Always On My Mind" and also as a 'Single' in the UK.
Did you know the same was done with 'Separate Ways'? Originally it had "Strings" overdubbed that were removed from the final Master.
If you haven't heard this before, it's a real treat to listen to, Enjoy!
That's beautiful.
Fool was given the same treatment, was it not, and that version appeared on the EAP silver box?
Were any others, I wonder?
It's funny--I generally am most keen on undubbed performances, but these orchestral versions, which are essentially 2X overdubbed, really do it for me.
Thanks again, Keith.
...you won't forget me when I go.
Hi Keith,
You have a great site. Long may it last indeed.
great site mate,
Keep up the good work!!!
Great site Keith, nice one buddy

It's hard to beat recipes from America's Test Kitchen, the online arm of the venerable Cook's Illustrated magazine, because their chefs make them over and over and over again until they're impecable.
That said, it's hard to improve on the equally venerable Pasta Primavera. Unless you're talking about its nutritional values, which, due to its traditional creamy sauce, aren't all that great.
ATK's recipe focuses on the vegetables in its ingredients as well as the dish's name, Spring Vegetable Pasta.
It incorporates peas, asparagus, leeks, mint and chives are sure to shine through the sauce, made from olive oil, garlic, wine and lemon. Noticeable by its absence is heavy cream. Just a sprinkling of Parmesan is all the dairy this needs.

Excellent job Eddy, great pics

Great job on the design Eddy.... Very nice...the only thing wrong as i can see is that the front-cover pictures look a little out of proportion
( squashed )....that aside i think its a beauty
TCB Chris.
For one of your first attempt it's a fantastic cover
One thing: you really need to be aware when resizing images that you always keep the original aspect ratio (between width and height) of the images. To me the images look a bit squashed (they need to be a bit more wider).

And, you have also chosen one FINE tracklisting!!

I love Elvis and his music, and I love to spend every little time I've got in this hobby.
I think you all are doing a great job, requarding covers, what I don't understand, is why RCA/EPE is still releasing crap covers, why don't they have a look around here, and see how things should be.
thanks again, and I'm proud to be a member of a great place like this board.

A good cover...but I agree with Nightrider and Albert....the photos are distorted....maybe you could correct that and they would be really good...

How To Pick The Right Jacket To Go With Your Party Dress
There's so much to consider when building the perfect party ensemble—the dress, the bag, the shoes, on my!—it's easy to forget about your outerwear. Much like finding the right shoes to go with your pants, matching a suitable coat to fit your festive frock requires some general style guidelines. Here's everything you need to know.
Whatever your preferred silhouette is this season—short and girly, long and slinky, mid-length and fitted—outsmart fickle climates with these foolproof coat and dress pairings.
Ruffled Mini + Fit-And-Flare Coat
A strapless, tiered ruffle dress is utterly sweet and girly, so play up that feminine vibe with a coat that nips in at the waist and flares out at the hips. Bonus: the jacket's swingy silhouette won't restrict the dress, which means no unwanted wrinkles.
Jill Stuart Celina Coat ($838, 212.343.2300) in Midnight; BCBGMAXAZRIA Jacklyn Sleeveless Dress with Tiered Ruffle Skirt ($398, available end of November) in Light Pearl; HUE Tinted Metallic Tights ($14); Mason/Stanley Bermuda Bangle ($5,500); Mason/Stanley Bermuda Stud Drop Earrings with Pave Diamonds ($900); Mason/Stanley Bermuda Stud Earrings with Pave Diamonds ($790); Roger Vivier Prismick Miroir Clutch Bag ($1,177); Brian Atwood Tribeca Patent Leather Platform Sandals ($895).
Full Skirt + A-Line Coat
A structured coat that goes just past the waist and has a slightly retro feel works to temper a fuller skirt. Additionally, a simple black dress acts as the perfect blank canvas for whimsical touches, such as a bold print and a feather clutch.
Milly jacket (similar style here); Alice + Olivia Veena Sleeveless Flare Pleat Dress ($495, available December); Portolano Opera-Length Leather Gloves ($395); HUE Cotton Tissue Socks ($5); Kotur Fino Clutch ($850) in Multi; Giuseppe Zanotti Star-Detail Suede Cage Bootie-Sandals ($2,495).
Fitted Dress + Menswear-Tailored Coat
For your next cocktail fete, accompany a sleek and sultry metallic frock with a dressed up tuxedo jacket. The tailored piece keeps the look feeling chic and polished, while offering a modern take on Yves Saint Laurent's Le Smoking look.
Proenza Schouler Long Tuxedo Coat ($2,490); DKNY Gold Sleeveless Cami Dress with Pleated Rosette Detail ($495, 800.231.0884); Echo Design Solid Oversized Silk Scarf ($58); HUE Backseam Sheer Tights ($18); Eddie Borgo Pave Ombre Crystal Large Cone Bracelet ($1,000) in Yellow/Pink; Salvatore Ferragamo Miniaudiere ($1,490) in Metal and Lucite; Christian Louboutin Decollete Patent Leather Stiletto Pumps ($625).
Floor-Length Slip Dress + Light Layers
The slinky slip is the dress of the season and it happens to be perfect for the holiday party circuit, too. Lighter layers work best with this wisp of a dress, so try a furry vest over a velvet tuxedo jacket. You can removed the jacket indoors and keep on the vest for extra warmth.
Express Faux Fur Zip-Up Vest ($83); Burbery jacket; Nili Lotan Maxi Cami Dress ($495) in Wheat; Iosselliani Brass Mixed Colour Necklace ($570, 212.686.2211); Zara Leather and Fur Evening Bag ($80); Cole Haan Jovie High Sandals ($298).
Babydoll Dress + Boyfriend Coat
The babydoll dress can read youthful, which is why we recommend elevating your look with a sophisticated coat and scarf combo. A boyfriend style that's the same length as the dress will do the trick.
Topshop Fluffy Boyfriend Coat ($178); ASOS Smock Dress with Velvet Burnout ($107) in Red; Urban Outfitters Colorblock Oversized Eternity Scarf ($29); HUE Fishnet Tights ($14); Mawi Double Stack Closed Link Bike Chain ID Bracelet with Spikes ($583, available December); Christian Louboutin Loubiposh Clutch ($995); Walter Steiger Short Back Zip Ankle Boots ($895).
Minimal Dress + Maximum Coat
Mimic the clean lines of a shift dress with a long, menswear-inspired coat that hits at the ankle.
Theyskens' Theory coat (similar style here); Theory Lyall Silk Layered Dress ($295); Ann Taylor Leather Bow Gloves ($78); Nancy Gonzalez Cigarette Clutch ($2850, available for special order at Bergdorf Goodman) in Grey Astrakhan; Christian Louboutin T Slick 120 Heels ($965).

The up-and-down career of Marshawn Powell is down again thanks to a knee injury that will serve as big blow to Mike Anderson's first Arkansas basketball team.
Powell — the Razorbacks' leading scorer — is out for the season with torn ligaments in his knee. The injury occurred during practice on Thursday. The Hogs are left with just nine scholarship players on their roster, just four in the frontcourt.
"This is a big blow to Marshawn and our basketball team," Anderson said in a press release. "He has been working hard on and off the court this year and was in the best shape of his career. This is definitely a setback, but I told him that sometimes you have to have setbacks in order to have a great comeback. He is in good spirits and looking forward to helping this team in any way that he can."
Powell had averaged 19.5 points and 6 rebounds in Arkansas' first two games. Without the preseason All-SEC forward, the Hogs lost in Little Rock to Houston, 87-78.

Greatness: Reagan, Churchill & the Making of Extraordinary Leaders by Steven F. Hayward
What is political greatness? Is it still possible in these egalitarian times? Were Winston Churchill and Ronald Reagan great statesmen? If so, how so? In Greatness, Steven Hayward responds briskly, engagingly, and respectively: Read Aristotle; Yes; Yes; and Glad you asked.
Applied to the life and times and statesmanship of Churchill and Reagan, Greatness is, in effect, an extended essay answering Leo Strauss's frequently quoted charge to his students on the occasion of Churchill's death: "We have no higher duty, and no more pressing duty, than to remind ourselves and our students, of political greatness, human greatness, of the peaks of human excellence."
As usual, Hayward leaps to his subject with zest and writes with verve, proceeding from surface similarities to important differences to "the fundamental traits of statesmanship" that made each man great in his own way and time. Against the various familiar hangdog intellectual trends that reduce human beings to "corks bobbing on the waves of history," Hayward offers the noble words and deeds of Churchill and Reagan as anecdotal proof—is there any other kind available?—of the permanent possibility of heroic achievement.
It was worthwhile for Hayward to divert himself from his larger work (his two-volume biography of Reagan) to give us this one. Like its heroes, Greatness lifts the spirits and makes the world look fresh again.

Jura-Capresso Impressa C9 One Touch Automatic Coffee Center
Create cappuccinos, café mocha or latte at the touch of a button with the Jura-Capresso Impressa C9 One Touch Automatic Coffee Center. The Impressa C9 froths, grinds, tamps and brews cappuccino or latte right into your cup thanks to the unique One Touch Cappuccino System. In addition to cappuccino and latte, the C9 offers pre-programmed beverage buttons for coffee, espresso, hot milk and hot water, all of which can be changed during brewing or re-programmed to suit your specific taste. A rotary dial lets you override the strength and cup size during brewing without changing the programmed settings, while the 10-digit LED display provides short, plain language instructions for an easy operation.

A CLEARYL water filtration system removes chlorine, lead, aluminum and copper from your tap water for a better tasting coffee, while a five-level water hardness selector lets you set your machine to your water hardness.

What piece of art changed your life? And how did it affect you?
It was a drawing on canvas by Cy Twombly owned by the Museum of Modern Art in Vienna. I did not understand some curls and asked myself what´s the point of them being presented even in a serious circumstance, in a museum. I transformed them to a plastical form and handled around with it—so i understood and this was the beginning of my adaptives, which were my main course of my first part of being an artist. I found my own trace I could follow. At this time, I did not know that Twombly made sculptures as well. After many years, I found out that there were some similarities and was astonished.
Austrian artist Franz West is the subject of a major retrospective at the BMA. It closes January 4, 2009.

Iphone 5 Battery Drain ****FIX****!!!!!
Very helpful all, thank you. And...
Has anyone had experience with Evernote being a (the?) culprit?
I took my iPhone to the Genius Bar, and their diagnostic said Evernote had glitched. We removed Evernote, did a cold restart, and he I could put Evernote back on and it should be fine. I did that. Battery life improved but still bad (eg: from 100% to 70% in 3 hours, instead of down to 60% in less time, but with only use 1 text and looking at a few emails, replying to 3... yikes!). Now I've removed Evernote again, and it's way better.
After reading this thread, I've also turned off photo stream and documents in iCloud. Any further limitation in unworkable for me since I use it way more for data than actual phone. Service isn't good enough where I live to make anything other than a very quick call.
Any thoughts about EVERNOTE vs ICLOUD as the CULPRIT?

So I took my phone back to apple. They didn't have any in stock to exchange. Said they would order one and call me when it was ready. The guy tells me there's nothing wrong with my phone and tells me "tips" for longer battery life. I know all the tricks already. I've have every iPhone since the 8 gig 2g. I've never experienced this before. I definitely want a new phone I would t have driven 45 min one way I the phone was working. If it still Drains going back to the 4 S.
Like (1)
Same situation, I'm going in tomorrow. I've been with the iphone since it's first release (2G), and this situation is as bad as the antenna nonsense with the 4. Apple needs to slow their roll and PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL....WAY too many errors happening (Maps is another disaster).
Like (1)
Exactly what I was thinking! I feel duped. The battery life is something Apple should be ashamed of. I mean that sincerely. Sure Maps ***** but, I want this battery issue front and center. Maybe we should be worried that more isn't being done. Funny thing Apple, I realized that I'm still within in my buyer remorse period.
I'm wondering if I should check out your competitors? You know, nudge nudge, wink wink? I'll give a hint. South Korera. I'm hoping that they can deliver the quality that was,once ,exemplified by your company. Its a sad day.
I stood by you as loyal customer since my Apple 2c. That was my first computer and I never looked back. I loved my Iphone 4. Wish I still had it. Then this dud.

So I returned my iphone 5 and got another one. No problems changing it out. I charged it all last night. Used it today still about the same as it was. I will continue to update how battery life is the next couple of days. I still like the phone and would not switch to an android phone at this point . I just want the battery to work better. I need to just turn the percentage off. Watching it drop while I'm typing this is infuriating. Especially knowing how well the iPhone 4 battery held a charge.

I found after many days of adjusting all of my settings to minimum and also resetting the iPhone 5 to factory setting and reloading all of the apps. etc. that the best solution is to just to turn the battery life % indicator off. Now, I don't stare at the battery life going down 1% every 3 mins. of usage. Ignorance is bliss. Btw, I'm being a little sarcastic but it is the solution that's working for me.

Yeah, that was my solution too. It made me crazy and I was developing obssessive compulsive behavior. Now with the battery % indicator off, I don't stare at the battery status. I just know that I only need to worry if I'm out and the battery icon turns red. Overall, the battery life is fine for a day of use and recharging once every night or other night. Just accept the fact that it will never meet the promoted specs. of 8-10 hrs. of talk and browsing. I always getting roughly 6.5 hrs. of usage per full charge. I'm done worrying about it.

I read that in order to stop the heavy draw on the battery on iPhone 5 you have to:
- Turn down screen brightness
- Turn off bluetooth
- Turn off wifi if not currently connecting
- Turn off iCloud Backup
- Turn off Notifications
- Turn of Location Services
- Switch Mail to Manual Retrieval
- Eliminate every app running in the background.

Any update on new phone battery?
Do we know if the problem is all iPhone 5 batteries, or just some (ours)? If just some, I'll complain vehemently at Genius Bar to get it replaced. Apple Care should be good for fixing malfunction, no?
And yes, great idea to turn the % indicator off. That helps. So goes buying a power cable for the car. I know we should not have to do these workarounds, but I'm looking for ways to adapt and reduce my crankiness. There's a lot about this phone that I love, and I want to focus on that.

Well I believe that it's just the way it is. No difference in battery life with the swap. In fact this phone is worse because the power button is loose makes a noise if you shake it. I recently took an 800 mile trip and the maps and turn by turn were great. Of course my phone didn't last the whole day but I did get 9.5 hours of nav out of it. I need to get a car charger I guess.

Hey Folks,
Just in case this has not been previously posted and it is not my imagination here is something that has seemed to make a huge difference for me. I am currently travelling and had a wifi issue which was fixed by doing a "Reset of Network Settings" this was benign as far as what I had to deal with on the phone and since doing this my wifi and network environment is better......... as is my battery life. I cant say for sure because I am now in Hong Kong and not even on a 3G network or using virtually anything on the phone as everything is currently being done on the laptop but I have noticed an apparent increase in my battery life as per the previous 5 days of experience.
My wife's phone at home is still having issues but I will instruct her on it tomorrow to see if it helps.

- A new survey on luxury spending by wealthy consumers in China indicates a soft demand trend may continue.
- Spending on gifts fell 25% last year, while overall spending by the wealthy fell 15%.
- A number of factors are in play with Chinese consumption taxes high and the government cracking down on corruption, but the underlying trend is that a surprising number of high net worth consumers are leaving China for new residences overseas.
- The good news for the sector is that some of the lost sales could be recaptured in different markets.
- Related stocks: Gucci (GUCG), Prada, Louis Vuitton (LVMUY), Coach (COH), Ralph Lauren (RL), Michael Kors (KORS), Swatch (SWGAY), Burberry (BURBY), Louis Vuitton (LVMHF), Tiffany (TIF), and Warnaco (WRC).

- LVMH (LVMHF), Neiman Marcus, Macy's (M +0.7%), Tiffany (TIF +0.5%), and other luxury names will do well this holiday season, predicts retail analyst Kristin Bentz.
- She also likes the dollar store group (DLTR, FDO, DG, FIVE) to hold up well as consumers make the extra effort to bargain shop.
- The giant chasm in the middle is where the retail pain will be felt.
- An outlier: Wearable technology will be an on-trend holiday season item, forecasts Bentz. Early adopter Nike (NKE) could have a big Q4.

- The trend is sparked by the younger generation which is eager to wear different styles than their parents.
- Luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton (LVMHF.PK) and Dunhill could suffer as the lifestyle brands gain relevance and the high-end premium trims.
- Tapped for success in China: Adidas (ADDYY.PK), Lululemon (LULU), Ralph Lauren (RL), Wolverine Worldwide (WWW), VF Corporation (VFC).

- The handbag market in Hong Kong is so strong that money lenders are using high-end handbags as collateral for loans.
- In the U.S., the emerging demand for used high-end handbags has helped boost sales for pawn shop operators such as Cash America (CSH +0.6%) and EZCORP (EZPW -0.2%).
- What to watch: The global luxury handbag market is ruled by Prada, Coach (COH -0.1%), Hermes (HESAF.PK), Louis Vuitton (LVMHF.PK), and powerhouse Michael Kors (KORS +0.5%). After surprising in H1, back-half projections could be harder to match.

Tuesday, Jul 92013, 2:57 AMLVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMHF.PK) has agreed to acquire 80% of Italian cashmere clothier Loro Piana for €2B ($2.57B). The deal will provide LVMH deep knowledge in textiles from sourcing to manufacturing, and help the company expand into the faster-growing very high end of the market - Loro Piana sells cashmere sweaters for $1,385. That could help offset the slowdown at Louis Vuitton, LVMH's biggest brand. (PR) |Tuesday, Jul 92013, 2:57 AM| Comment!
Wednesday, Jun 52013, 7:49 AMHigh-end sellers in Hong Kong (MAGOF.PK, COH, TIF, RL, BURBY.PK, KORS, GUCG.PK) saw an influx of traffic during the three-day May Day holiday which could help boost sales totals for the quarter. According to the Hong Kong Tourism Board, the number of mainlanders trekking over to Hong Kong jumped 50% Y/Y during the period. A stronger yuan might be motivating more Chinese consumers to hunt for lower prices in Hong Kong. |Wednesday, Jun 52013, 7:49 AM| 3 Comments
Friday, May 242013, 10:46 AMLuxury retail companies seem to be seeing something more than economists do as they ramp up investments and marketing on expectations for increased high-end spending in the U.S. Even with all the focus on the growth potential for the luxury sector in China and Hong Kong, by sales the U.S. market is still twice as big and has plenty of upside, according to industry insiders. A wildcard in the mix is the impact from some relaxed rules on visa approvals for wealthier tourists from emerging markets.

Monday, Apr 152013, 1:29 PMThe LVMH read-through to luxury stocks: The LVMH report is consistent with the latest batch of retail sales data from China which indicates solid growth is still out there - but just not at the frothy levels of years past. An important trend to watch is that demand in Europe is getting considerable support from the steady string of tourists pouring in from China which magnifies the impact that Chinese consumers have on the sector. |Monday, Apr 152013, 1:29 PM| Comment!

Monday, Mar 112013, 9:06 AMChina retail sales grew 12.3% in the January to February period, below the estimate of analysts which called for a 13.8% gain.

CAIRO -- Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians took to the streets Sunday, some in support of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi and others to call for his ouster. Here is a look at Egypt's current political standoff, what it means and where it could lead:
Who is leading the campaign against Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood?
A new youth movement called Tamarod, or Rebel, is spearheading the latest campaign aimed at forcing Morsi from office. The group launched a petition drive around three months ago to collect signatures from Egyptians who want the president to step down. Tapping into growing discontent with Morsi over what his critics allege is his failure to effectively tackle the country's pressing problems, Tamarod claims it has collected more than 22 million signatures. The petitions have no legal weight and have not been independently authenticated, but the tally would be -- if verified -- nearly twice the number of votes Morsi received a year ago when he narrowly won the presidency. The main collection of opposition groups, the National Salvation Front, has endorsed Tamarod, and parties under the NSF umbrella helped collect signatures.
Can the opposition really force Morsi to step down?
Morsi, who has three years left in his four-year term, says he has no intention of resigning. The Tamarod organizers and opposition figures say protesters will not leave the streets until he does. If both sides stick to their guns, then the standoff could last for days, maybe even weeks. There are other factors at play, however. If the large numbers in Sunday's mass protests are repeated for days, and are later reinforced by strikes and a civil disobedience campaign, the country would grind to a standstill and significantly ratchet up the pressure on Morsi.
Still, the Muslim Brotherhood, the fundamentalist group that propelled Morsi to power, has shown little sign of backing down. The group points to Morsi's election victory in a vote that is widely recognized to have been free and fair, and says that forcing Morsi from office will set a dangerous precedent for his successors, an argument Morsi cited in an interview with The Guardian published on Sunday. The only way to challenge Morsi, his supporters say, is through the ballot box.
What about the army?
The army chief, Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, called on Morsi and the opposition a week ago to reach an understanding and warned that the military would intervene if the country plunges into civil strife. The remarks were the strongest from the military on the nation's political turmoil since Morsi appointed el-Sissi last August. Since those comments, the army has dispatched reinforcements to bases outside cities across the nation and deployed troops backed by armored vehicles outside vital facilities.

I'll start off by saying, it was refreshing to see someone like her be given a chance to play an active role on the X-teams back in the day, thet even though she lacked longevity, in comparison to characters like Storm and Psylocke, she was already kicking butt, whether it's helping out in Genosha, going to the outer limits of space, and eventually having a major role in Generation X...
Why should you care about Jubilee?
First of all
People care whether or not she's in an X-book.
Also, she's been around longer than a lot of these new characters, and by new, I mean the current students. I appreciate that she has matured throughout the years and can be looked up to by most; she's not perfect and not liked by everyone and that's ok. She's not just Wolverine's sidekick, but she's her own character, and grew out of being the Robin to his Batman. She's lived and lost, whether it be a friend or her powers. Even then, she was strong enough to overcome all those obstacles and come out on top in the end. She has her own look going on for her. She's not over-elegant, but is no plain jane, and dares to be different fashion-wise. Her powers have potential to be deadly, as seen in the Age of Apocalypse and according to those who have observed them. It's a shame they're gone, but here's hoping they come back and she can do some awesome stuff with them, not that making fireworks isn't. Overall, I appreciate Jubilee, I hope you can too.
What do you like best about Jubilee?

Powers: FORMERLY: manifest energy plasmoids as multi-colored fireworks of various shapes and intensities, which she can detonate to create disorienting bursts of light and sound, scalding heat, concussive impact, or interweave the "PAF" energies into solid objects to cause violent explosions at the molecular level. Over the years, Jubilee had displayed an extra ability to 'hide' from mental scans and telepathic radar.
WONDRA: Superhuman Strength, capable of lifting freight trains and automobiles with ease. Hover discs allow her to fly with mental control
Other Abilities: As a young teen, Jubilee was a near-Olympic-caliber gymnast, which she has utilized to her advantage over her years of superheroics during combat. As a gymnast, she has a greater chance at dodging attacks and projectiles as well as landing on her feet after a fall. Jubilee also survived on her own for many months at a time after her parents were murdered. This allowed her to gain skills such as lock-picking, petty theft, and stealth. Jubilee has hand-to-hand combat experience from her time spent with Wolverine, the X-Men, and Generation X. She is also trained in first-aid and CPR, using those skills on the field in numerous occasions.

" Sam has started the first couple chapters of a novel that I wanted to have written for years. She communicates with me through every step and makes any additions or alterations needed. I will keep her hired for the duration of this novel and would hire her again for future works. "

" Sam has been stellar. I had a rough version of my book and she turned it into a polished, refined, and easily readable work of art. Her timing is excellent and she excels at sharing her ideas and suggestions and incorporating the many changes I requested. I will certainly use her again. She is the best Freelancer I have used to date. "
