Currently, the Nasdaq is up 0.6%, the S&P 500 has moved up 0.2% and the Dow has moved little. The energy sector is the category of stocks that relate to producing or supplying energy. This sector includes companies involved in the exploration and development of oil or gas reserves, oil and gas drilling, or integrated power firms. Performance in the sector is largely driven by the supply and demand for worldwide energy. Energy producers will do very well during times of high oil and gas prices, but will earn less when the value of energy drops. Furthermore, this sector is sensitive to political events, which historically have driven changes in the price of oil.
The Energy sector (XLE) has climbed 0.1% overall, and these are the biggest movers in the sector so far:

The Bottom Line No matter the economic climate, Wall Street will always have stocks that make major moves each week. It is important to weigh current activity against historical performance when making any investment decisions. Tools like valuation ratios and profit margins, however, are only as useful as the context you put them in; remember to take historical data and competitor performance into account.

HowaboutRAW: Ednaz:
No matter who Maisel is he hasn't been shooting digital for more than 20 years, and there's no great digital "tradition" to shooting jpeg only.
Anyhow, white balance alone is enough to convince most to shoot raw.
So you're speaking for dslr users after polling yo find that "most " actually shoot raw? You know there are 10s of millions of these owners that never post on an Internet forum because they don't have the time in their busy lives. That being the case you really think they have the time to develop each if their pics on a computer from raw?!
RedFox88: If what is in iOS 9 is rumored to be true, just the O/S update alone is aimed to bury Android once and for all!
Yet samsung, sells more phones than anyone, is going to the apple model of no sd cards making buyers pay $100 for each step of more storage, no removable battery all to increase profits. Those were features that differentiated them from apple. Now theres no reason to buy a samsung/android!
If what is in iOS 9 is rumored to be true, just the O/S update alone is aimed to bury Android once and for all!
Dellis12: Maybe it's a generational thing--that for Millennials, a photo is perishable and something that you snap, put up on Instagram and forget about it. For others it's something more thoughtful and permanent. I've been a pro for a number of years and done some very exciting things with an iPhone 6 and a number of app workflows--things I just couldn't do as easily or at all with a camera and Photoshop. But I think differently with a camera in my hand. It's a different experience and mindset--maybe because I started with film. Cameras are going to be like real musical instruments in a Pro Tools/Ableton environment. The output might look/sound the same, but they're almost separate art forms. That said the heart of the market, inexpensive point and shoot compacts, is basically dead. Manufacturers are going to have to figure out how to make money on hobbyists and pros--not so easy.
Right. Photos aren't special anymore nor is communicating with a friend or family member. They both used to be 20 years ago.
Thomas Kachadurian: There is a simple way to own the market. Make a camera that allows you inside the interface. Imagine a camera that could have all the options, but that the user had to turn on some thing if they wanted it, but otherwise it doesn't show. Don't need auto bracket? You'll never see it. Dot want 47 scene modes? Only turn on the 4 you want, or none at all. Only use A and M mode, get ride of the rest.
Let use rename things that are confusing. Let us turn off movie mode so it's not there.
No. You can't have simple and basic if you have the ability to turn features on and off. If you have thst ability it isn't simple and basic. That's my point and the point of the iPhone!!
instamatic: My iPhone 6 really takes nice pictures. They are automatically well exposed and sharp like 99% of the time with pleasing color and contrast. This continues to hold in low light as well, though grain appears. Still, on-screen even this grain is a non-issue.
The camera is quick and responsive, and the built in HDR actually looks natural.
Additionally the photos are instantly available to share, or to be viewed on a flat screen TV via the inexpensive Apple TV.
What else can I care about for quick take and go snapshots that record life moments worth recording, seriously what else?
Daily life can and is.

The popularity of the iphone would prove you wrong 100s of millions of times over! People don't want a complex gadget!
This kills the Canon N that had a square sensor and screen.
aftab: Rishi, you know well that you have drawn a broad conclusion based on one test using a specific lens and aperture. To draw such a conclusion you need to use variety of lenses, different bodies, different FLs and subjects etc. At the end you may be proven to be right though, but for now your conclusion applies only to this specific situation.
So Rishi, the a72 got primes and the dslrs got slower zooms. Gotta compare apples to apples Rishi! Show how they all compare with zooms!
So, it has to be used with a f/1.4 or faster lens. Gotcha. Where's a 24-70 f/1.4 zoom or a 70-200 f/1.4 zoom ?
Michael EOS5D: It sounds like the battery in this Note 4 has more capacity and charges faster. The quick charger is very fast, certainly wouldn't take 2 hours to charge from 0-100%.
Though the iphone 6 battery has led Ahs it lasts longer. And with the upcoming iOS 9 extending battery life even more and the Os taking up 30% of iOS 8, it seems Apple is poised to bury Android.
GatanoII: Phablets must not be used any more as a word, this are just big smartphones, that today is the right size for most users (luckily the ones that used to say 3.5inch was perfect are finally dead, metaphorically and one for real, unlikely)
I have the Note 4 that is also 5.7 inch and the even bigger 6.4 inch Sony Xperia Z Ultra and are just big smartphones, wait a minute, the Note 4 (and 5) is now a NORMAL smartphone, may be only the Z Utra is the big one, but still a smartphone, I'll love to have a Samsung Note with this screen size... but I have to live with the water proof and stylish Sony ;)
BTW the loss of the MicroSD is huge, I have both my phones with 128GB Samsung MicroSD and the fact that I can remove the memory card is very important, even more then the removable battery, really useful only when the phone is at it's end of life and you want to still keep it, by changing the old battery with a new one.
No they arent Normal size. Get over yourself.
supeyugin1: That not a move in the right direction. Samsung's signature features were removable battery and SD slot. Now, since they are gone, it's gonna be my last Samsung (now discontinued Galaxy K zoom). Even Microsoft introduced a few phones with removable battery and SD slot. LG G4 is a new king!
Did it to save profits from zero profits.
Andrew ATM216: I also agree with most of the other posts: samsung is going backwards by dropping the micro sd card expansion slot...so i guess its time to look at the sony experia z5....which will come out in the near future....i have the note 3 now and was hoping to upgrade....but although i like the camera specs of the note 5, dropping the memory expansion slot, i will be saying, "good bye samsung"....
They dropped it to increase profits. Go read about it. The card was only for mp3 and pics anyways.
...what will sony shift it's focus to next year? They have ADD.
ProfHankD: I applaud Canon for doing something new, and this is a good answer for how to innovate when your fab is outdated. Unfortunately, $30K for 60p 1080 is really not cutting it. The resolution is not where you want it for cinematic releases, and the impressively high ISO is only being half utilized when they don't have any framerates above 60/s (probably limited by Canon's sensor chip architecture).
Security surveillance.
Eleson: What is the intended usage and audience for this camera?
Videos, dude. Security surveillance.
jackpro: Amoled nuff said awesome when do we get a note tablet with amoled!
I have a Samsung tablet with and without amoled screen and cannot see any difference.
So these are tab s replacements. Samsung would be well advised to streamline their tablet lines. Too many names all over the place. It confuses buyers.
No wonder Apple makes all the profit. They make 2 phones and 2 tablets. Much r&d and marketing wasted at Samsung.
LSE: the web is the future. cross platform. always up to date. and cloud computing backed.
Dude, apps are mobile and internet based too!

(Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)Washington Redskins president and general manager Bruce Allen said that the team's attempt to use #RedskinsPride to communicate with U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who wants the team to change its name, was a success.Last week, on the Redskins Twitter account, the team wanted fans to express support for the name, which has been in existence since 1932.Instead, a number of fans took the opportunity to blast the team on the nickname, which has been called racist by members of the Oneida Nation, politicians and others. Reid said Snyder should ''do what is morally right'' and change the name.Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has said he isn't going to change the name, despite the backlash. Allen claimed that the hashtag was a success:"The social media is the way people get information now, and our fans have spoken very loudly in support of what we've been doing," Allen said to the Washington Post. "We got a very good response from our fans."Thousands of our fans responded, including hundreds of Native Americans, saying we are their favorite team. I do think that's the message we've been hearing."EXTRA MUSTARD: Unsurprisingly, the Redskins #RedskinsPride Hashtag Backfired Quite Horribly Promoted Stories Comments

I have tried using other editors for Joomla, even ones that have a copy from word, excel, etc, buttons, but they never work. SS is the only CMS I have found that does this extremely well.
I just wanted to know if there was any way to make Joomla's editor work like SS's editor?

Car/Auto, Montreal
25 Reviews
25 Reviews
In between the holidays of Christmas and New Years. If you had to much to drink and have your car with you, you can call Operation nez rouge..It is the for drivers not to driver there cars under the influence of alcohol durnig the holidays. They will drive your car to where you are going for I believe to be free, I think they accept tips not sure...
We only parked two places in Montreal, once at Parc Mont Royal ($6CAD for all day) and at the library near our hotel on St. Denis, $10CAD per 24 hours EXCEPT when you park after library hours and it's $7 for that evening and then $10 per 24 hours. Took the attendant a while to explain that to us and another couple who were equally perplexed. For 48 hours we paid $27CAD instead of the $20 that we thought we should be charged.
At both places we had to use one of the pay parking boxes which accepted credit cards or cash and then display the receipt on the dashboard.
I didn't find driving in Montreal/Quebec at all challenging, maybe because I live in a big city and am used to lots of traffic. One way streets were clearly marked with arrow signs, when you got close enough to the highways, lots of signs to direct you. The French directional words are very similar to English-est (east), ouest (west), sud (south) and nord (north).
I read somewhere that there is no "right on red" in Montreal.
Let me add that there's absolutely no need to rent a car if you are just going to be visiting Montreal, you can get anywhere you need to go via public transport, on foot or by taxi. We decided to rent a car because we were also visiting Quebec City and Montmorency Falls and didn't want to be tied to a bus schedule.
Getting there was easy, straightforward driving (well, I wasn't driving, lol!). From northern NJ, NY area, it took between 6 and 7 hours up the New York Thruway, Rt 87. We got to the border crossing at about 5pm and waited at customs for about an hour, which was a pain! We plan on returning often~it's so close, but you feel like you are far away on vacation!
Once you arrive at the Pierre Trudeau Airport in Montreal, there are lots of options to get to your destination. One of them is renting a car. There should be no problem with this, even if you have not reserved one. Once you pick up your baggage, walk out into the parking lot and then into another building. There are counters for at least 5 major car rental companies: Budget, Avis, Enterprise, Dollar, and National. Show them your driver's license, fill out a form and you should have a vehicle in no time!
If you're coming north from the US, you will most likely be taking the Pont Champlain into downtown. This bridge can get extremely crowded and you can be sitting in traffice for quite a while (one time over an hour!).
As an alternative, you can continue on Route 20 north about 6 miles and take Pont Jacques Cartier. Stay in the left lane as you exit the bridge and continue north until you reach Sherbrooke. Make a left and this will take you into downtown.
NOTE: Do not take this on Sat and Wed nights in the summer - it will be shut down for the fireworks festival.
Turning right on red light will become the standard in the spring 2003 in Quebec, everywhere (unless otherwise indicated) except in the city of Montreal where is it still being opposed. So when on the Montreal island only, do not turn right on red light.
Those using the highway without a cell phone, relax. Should your car break down, have a flat tire, etc, there are 162 live cameras (84 inside tunnels and 78 on highways around) watching you for your protection only. We (where I work) call the protection and a towing to asssist you within seconds of cars being immobilized, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Link to our cameras (ours are in real time) those are refreshed every 2 minutes : http://www.circulationmontreal.com/
or http://www.mtq.gouv.qc.ca/cameras/centre.htm
On the pic, some of those with who I work... nice bunch.
To get to Montreal from the Boston area, we took US Interstate 89 through Vermont to the Canadian border. At the border, there was a small wait, maybe 15 minutes while the Canadian border patrol and customs inspectors checked all vehicles entering Canada. With a birth certificate or US driver's license, American citizens should have no problems getting through.
At the border, Interstate 89 becomes a puny little two-lane country road in Canada (Route 133), weaving through a few small towns such as Pike River and Henryville on the way to Montreal. Near St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, you will get on Canadian Highway 10 that takes you over the St Lawrence River and right into the city.
The drive from Boston to Montreal is approximately 310 miles and it takes a little over 5 hours.
The Larentides is full of places that you can only reach by car, and these ones are the special places to see. Pierre and I are very brave men, and we decided to face the winter and spend some days in his chalet in front of Lac Mitchel...you really have to drive with attention because the roads are puer snow and ice!
But for sure you will never forget such a fabulous moment!
January 25th, 2005
Just a few tips if you are from the US and want to drive in Montreal.
- Do not make a right on Red.
- A straight arrow means STRAIGHT. This gives pedestrians time to cross. When it turns to a solid green light you can turn right.
- A flashing green light means you can turn any way you want, left, right or straight.
- The roads are in terrible shape. If you drive, park your car and take the metro. It will take you everywhere you want to go.
In Montreal, our roads are TERRIBLE! I know of people whose airbags deployed because they drove through a BIG pothole... No joke. Our rims get dented, our tires ruined, our backbones hurt! This is NO joke. I am embaressed at the state of our roads! Take the Metro!
It is a nightmarish situation you do not want to be. If you happen to be in the traffic specially at this point during the rush hour, be extra patient particularly when you are taking the 520 exit you have to wait for a free passage. Sometimes it will take you 30 to 45 minutes just for that spot.
The picture tells you all. It is a helluva mess you do not want to be when you are in a rush.
To see the paranoia of the traffic in a panoramic shot, click here.
Montrealers tend to have heavy feet when it comes to driving. While the speed limit is 100km'h most locals drive 120km/s on the highway. I don't suggest you brake the law, but going with the flow of traffic generally works and keeps people around you from waving their fists at you.
Montreal is not a "road rage" city so you don't need to worry about :)
You cannot turn right on red lights in Montreal. And the red light means that you must stop. Some people in Montreal seem to not know this either ;)
Heres a tip... Dont rent from Europcar in Montreal! My wife and I confirmed and rented a vehicle thru Europcar Montreal with unlimited milage. After returning the veicle in perfect condition and ahead of the scheduled time Europcars agent told us he had assessed an over milage fee of over $150 stating that we didnt have unlimited miles. Although the agent and Europcar knew of where we were to go and that we had confirmed an unlimited milage agreement they had changed the contract to specify a limited milage of 200 km / day. This company is dishonest and sneaky, they will attempt to add costs at every opportunity (we watched two other very upset customers return their vehicles and agrue the charges in just one hour of waiting!). Beware of this company!
Connected throughout the world by major airlines, Montréal is only an hour and a half from New York, two hours from Chicago, and 6½ hours from London. Montréal's airports are conveniently close. Taxi's, limousines and shuttle buses get travelers quickly to and from the city center, stopping at major hotels. Services are excellent, and available in many languages.
Trains from New York or Washington stop at Montréal's Gare Centrale, also the main stop for domestic trains from Eastern or Western Canada. The downtown stop is conveniently connected to Bonaventure underground Métro by a pedestrian corridor. Bus travelers land at downtown Terminus Voyageur, connected to the Métro.
By car, Montréal is only 47 km (29 mi) from the New York border. The New York State Thruway (I-87) becomes Route 15, U.S. I-89 becomes two-lane Route 133, joining Route 10 at the border. From I-91 in Massachusetts, Routes 55 and 10 reach Montréal. Entering from east or western Canada, Montréal is accessible on route 401, or the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) via routes 20 and 40. Québec road signs are in French, and speed limits are in kilometers (100 kph equals about 62 mph). Gasoline is sold in liters (3¾ liters equal 1 U.S. gallon).
In town, use the public transportation system (buses and metro) ... for more info:
You can easily travel from Montréal to any other city within the province and even to other provinces or the US by bus or train.
Driving in Montréal can be quite an adventure as Montrealers are fast drivers ... and not very polite! But you can easily drive to other cities on one of the many highways. Remember that the province of Quebec doesn't have anymore toll highways, so you can spend you money elsewhere!!
If you have to remember two things about Montreal, remember these two:
1)For the Americans:
First, quebec time works like military time. Aka 17h00 is 5PM, 13h00 is 1PM. So be aware when you things like "No parking between 9 and 2"!!! It means 9 AM and 2 AM, not 9-2 PM!!!
2)Parking quality and prices vary considerably, even within a 3 block area... It is espescially bad for monthly rates. It seems to be the plight of large urban areas to have their parking lots market be devoid of freedom of information.
To avoid just driving around endlessly, it is better to ask a friend, or to do due diligence, make a search on the internet to find where the best parkings are... or you might want to ask the local businessmen or employees where THEY park their cars.
A good website I have found for this is www.mtlparking.com.

The Arboretum hosts an ongoing exhibition series of artwork on natural themes by regional artists, as well as an annual art competition held in February of each year and an outdoor sculpture show during the summer.
Art exhibitions are displayed in the Visitor's Center gallery.
Rebecca Clark
Finite and Alive: New Drawings
August 4 to October 2
Rebecca Clark's foxes, deer and birds are so full of personality you can practically feel them thinking. Her show of new drawings, Finite and Alive, explores the wildlife of the Chesapeake Bay region in this time of environmental challenge. Known for her superb drawing skills, this Hyattsville artist has been fascinated with animals and plants since her childhood days in Annapolis. Including a series of exquisite renderings of oyster shells, this show is a captivating tribute to the intricate web of life in and around the Bay. There will be a reception on Saturday, August 15, 3–5 p.m.
Click here to read "Finite and Alive," an article on Clark's work by English art critic, curator, and editor Tom Jeffreys that appeared in the online magazine The Learned Pig.
Unnatural Nature
Outdoor Sculpture by Howard and Mary McCoy
June 1-September 30
Reception: Saturday, June 6, 3-5 p.m.
Throughout the spring, environmental artists Howard & Mary McCoy have worked in the Arboretum's forest creating sculptures from natural materials found on-site. Drawing their inspiration from the forest itself, these two Centreville artists see their work as a collaboration with nature. This is their ninth biennial outdoor sculpture show at the Arboretum.
Dominie Nash
Leaf Impressions
October 6 to November 27
Bethesda artist Dominie Nash's beautifully nuanced art quilts call to mind delicate patterns of sunlight shining through leaves. In Leaf Impressions, Nash uses screen printing and direct rubbing techniques to print a variety of different leaves onto fabric that she then cuts, layers, and stitches. The delicate silhouettes of the leaves and intricate patterns of their veins create elegant compositions as dancing across the fabric. There will be a reception on Saturday, October 24, 3–5 p.m.
Adkins Arboretum Botanical Art students
The Art of Nature
December 1 to January 29
Focusing on plant diversity of the Eastern Shore, this show presents a range of botanical art from beginning drawings through advanced botanical art pieces.

Author has written 21 stories for Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Total Drama series, Morganville Vampires, Sisters Grimm, Harry Potter, Stoked, and School of Rock.
Hullo! Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to visit my profile and even, possibly, read some of my stories. Be they old or new ones I appreciate your interest in my stories and me as a writer. It really does mean a lot.
Updating at the moment is currently suspended (read below for more information) but ideally:
Plain, Boring, and Inconspicuous (PBI) : Once a month
I'm sorry for any upset or inconvenience that may cause. If it is an older story (anything pre-2012) then it is safe to assume that story will not be updated. I'm sorry if you liked one of those stories, but most of them were one-shots in the first place, and the rest I have ceased to be interested in.
At the moment I am currently writing predominately Harry Potter fanfictions, and that is the vein I will probably keep up with, but I am also working on a huge Disney project. I have several stories that I am working on at the moment, and I hope to be able to share them soon!
Note about current update status: All right, so basically what's going on right know is that it's getting close to finals week for me so all my semester projects I've been putting off are due while my job is also starting up again so I don't have much time to write. Hopefully, however once finals end (May 20) I'll have some more time to write and start updating again. I'm so sorry to everyone who has been reading my stories and thank you all for being so patient about how long it's taking. You guys are really the sweetest and probably ninety percent of what keeps me still writing.
P.S. I also have a tumblr if you're into that over here: (suzanwhittier.tumblr.com). I don't know, if you care about me as a person or whatever. All the cool people are doing it.

New Movies This Week: 'Need for Speed,' 'Veronica Mars,' 'The Single Moms Club'
Talk about a weekend with a little something for everyone.
Talk about a weekend with a little something for everyone.
Marvel dropped an extended 'Captain America 2' trailer, giving us one major look at the next installment and exciting fans to the point of mass hysteria. Well, perhaps it's not as dramatic as that, but this is the most extensive look yet at the sequel, officially titled 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier.'
The first 'Sin City 2' trailer is finally here, and it's been long overdue. Not only has it been nine years since the first film hit theaters, but also the Robert Rodriguez film (officially titled 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For') was delayed for a year for reasons unknown. So really appreciate this first look at the coming sequel.
This weekend, we get the sequel to a massive action blockbuster from a few years ago, plus a new animated tale about a boy and his dad, who is a dog.
We have a good feeling about 'Oculus.' As the latest release from Blumhouse Productions (the folks behind 'Paranormal Activity' and 'Sinister'), the horror film follows a young woman who attempts to clear her brother's name after he is accused of a crime that was actually committed by a creepy supernatural entity living in a mirror. The full 'Oculus' trailer has arrived, and it looks like it'll have its fair share of chills and scares.
As we approach the theatrical release of '300: Rise of an Empire' and the first reviews slowly trickle out -- with our own Mike Sampson briefly summarizing it as "equal parts legitimately good, legitimately bad and so-bad-it's-good" -- Warner Bros. unleashed a massive new look at Eva Green and Sullivan Stapleton duking it out on the high seas.
Two very different features hit theaters this weekend. The first is an action-thriller with Liam Neeson (seems like all he ever does is action-thrillers these days, doesn't it?). The second tells the story of Jesus Christ. So yeah, pretty different.
We've seen tantalizing glimpses of 'Godzilla' in the previous two teaser trailers, but with the new film set to hit theaters in just over two months, it's time for a full 'Godzilla' trailer and a really good look at the big lizard. That time is now as a new 'Godzilla' trailer has arrived that finally shows us the King of the Monsters in all his massive glory.
A new international 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' trailer, dubbed "Rise of Electro," has been unleashed onto unsuspecting web surfers, featuring brand-new footage from Andrew Garfield's next outing as the web slinger. And you know what they say -- or, rather, what the trailer says -- when Electro rises, Spidey's enemies will unite ... and, boy, does he have a lot of them.
The first preview for Angelina Jolie's latest directorial effort, 'Unbroken,' premiered during the 2014 Winter Olympics today -- appropriate, as the story of her latest film follows an Olympian who tragically becomes a prisoner of war during World War II. And it looks to be pretty inspirational stuff from the sophomore director and A-list actress, whose debut film, 'In the Land of Blood and Honey,' also told a harrowing and inspirational story.
As Marvel ramps up its marketing for 'Captain America 2,' a new TV spot has hit the airwaves. While it does do well in teasing fans with never-before-seen footage of Chris Evans' upcoming turn as the Cap, it seemingly spoils a major moment from the movie. (Continue reading at your own risk.)
Director Ti West has been on a roll lately, creating instant horror classics with 'The House of the Devil' and 'The Innkeepers.' His streak continues with the debut of 'The Sacrament' trailer, previewing his latest found-footage endeavor that follows two reporters on a journey to a remote "religious community" (aka a cult). Let's just say that what they find isn't nice or pleasant, which makes for a really chilling movie.

Proponents of lifting the US ban on crude oil exports have made significant progress in recent weeks. The House Energy and Commerce Committee approved a bill today to lift the decades-long statutory prohibition. This follows a vote in late July by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee in favor of similar legislation. Advocates for lifting the ban have been encouraged by studies supporting their argument that allowing exports will not result in higher US gasoline prices and would even reduce the price at the pump. But the issue still divides members of Congress largely along party lines, complicating the prospects for enacting a bill without some significant compromise that gains bipartisan support, particularly in the Senate, for ending or modifying the ban.

Emerging Pharmacotherapies for Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Daniel Z. Wetmore, Ph.D. and Craig C. Garner, Ph.D.
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Nancy Pritzker Laboratory, Stanford University,
Stanford, CA 94305-5485
A growing and interdisciplinary translational neuroscience research effort for neurodevelopmental
disorders (NDDs) is investigating the mechanisms of dysfunction and testing effective treatment
strategies in animal models and, when possible, in the clinic. NDDs with a genetic basis have received
particular attention. Transgenic animals that mimic genetic insults responsible for disease in man
have provided insight about mechanisms of dysfunction, and, surprisingly, have shown that cognitive
deficits can be addressed in adult animals. This review will present recent translational research based
on animal models of genetic NDDs, as well as pharmacotherapeutic strategies under development
to address deficits of brain function for Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, Rett syndrome,
neurofibromatosis-1, tuberous sclerosis, and autism. Although these disorders vary in underlying
causes and clinical presentation, common pathways and mechanisms for dysfunction have been
observed. These include abnormal gene dosage, imbalance among neurotransmitter systems, and
deficits in the development, maintenance and plasticity of neuronal circuits. NDDs affect multiple
brain systems and behaviors that may be amenable to drug therapies that target distinct deficits. A
primary goal of translational research is to replace symptomatic and supportive drug therapies with
pharmacotherapies based on a principled understanding of the causes of dysfunction. Based on this
principle, several recently developed therapeutic strategies offer clear promise for clinical
development in man.

hyperactivity disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and autism spectrum disorders.
Improved medical care, integrated educational opportunities, and symptomatic drug treatment
have significantly increased the lifespan and improved daily living skills for individuals with
NDDs. Drug therapies designed to address the disease state have been less successful.
However, recent translational research in animal models for a number of NDDs show great
promise for pharmacotherapy that targets pathology and cognitive deficits specific to these

through transgenic, knockout, and knockin approaches in mice, flies, and worms permits study
of the underlying anatomy, pathology, and physiology of disease. Mechanistic insights support
the development of drug therapies to mitigate cognitive and behavioral deficits that could be
life-changing. For example, pharmacotherapy that improves a child's capacity to learn should
provide nonlinear improvements in cognitive abilities, social function, and independence.
Despite recent progress, successful therapies for NDDs require significant additional basic and
clinical research.
NDDs can be distinguished by genetic and environmental causes, the nature and site of
dysfunction, and the time course of cognitive and behavioral deficits during development. In
this review, we focus on NDDs with a known genetic basis. These disorders are easier to
characterize with animal models, better defined in terms of mechanism, and most promising
for the development of principled therapeutic targets. We will also restrict our discussion to
NDDs for which abnormalities in the CNS are localized to individual cells, local circuits of
neurons, or specific brain regions. Translational research in animal models has been fruitful
for disorders that fit this profile such as Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, Rett syndrome,
neurofibromatosis type 1, tuberous sclerosis, and autism.
The extent of genetic insults and brain pathology underlying NDDs determine the potential for
pharmacotherapy. For example, phenylketonuria is a disorder with straightforward genetics
and dysfunction in a specific, well-understood molecular pathway 1. Early intervention with
dietary modification reduces or eliminates intellectual disability. Similar improvements in
cognitive function are unlikely for other NDDs associated with severely underdeveloped brain
regions or abnormal long-range projections such as fetal alcohol syndrome, microcephaly, and
lissencephaly 2. However, some improvements in cognitive function may be possible by
addressing dysfunction in even severely malformed regions 3. The prognosis of
pharmacotherapy is better for NDDs caused by subtler changes that affect the function of local
neural circuits. Translational research has identified pharmacological interventions that restore
inhibitory-excitatory balance in neural circuits, compensate for dysfunctional molecular
pathways, or address abnormal neurophysiology or synaptic plasticity. Therapies that address
dysfunction in long-term plasticity, including both synapse strengthening via long-term
potentiation (LTP) and weakening by long-term depression (LTD), are significant. These
processes are generally recognized as the key substrate of learning and memory 4. Individuals
with different NDDs exhibit overlapping sets of deficits due to dysfunction in common brain
regions. Pharmacotherapeutic strategies that address shared forms of dysfunction have the
potential to mitigate symptoms in different NDDs.
Advances in translational research offer hope to both children and adults. Remarkably, recent
findings have shown improvements in learning and memory in adult animals 5,6. Mutations,
deletions, or duplications of genes in NDDs may cause only modest changes in protein
expression that shift the equilibrium of chemical reactions and signaling pathways. Thus,
therapies that normalize function by either enhancing the activity of remaining proteins,
disrupting mutant proteins, or modulating parallel and convergent pathways may improve
abilities in individuals with NDDs.
The Translational Cycle
A primary goal of translational research in the field of neurodevelopmental disorders is to
replace symptomatic and supportive drug therapies with pharmacotherapies based on a
principled understanding of the causes of dysfunction. We define a model of this process as
the Translational Cycle. Translational research starts with diagnostic, behavioral and genetic
studies in man, moves to animal models and other reduced preparations for biological and
neuroscientific study then progresses to drug development and clinical studies in man based
on increased knowledge and therapeutic strategies.

We describe this Translational Cycle with seven multidisciplinary steps(Fig. 1):
Human phenotype – Characterization of the disease
Human genotype – Discovery of the underlying genetics
Animal genotype – Development of animal models that mimic the genetic etiology of
human disease
Animal phenotype – Behavioral testing to probe cognitive, motor, and social
behaviors; studies of underlying genetics, molecular biology, neurophysiology, and
anatomy in animal models
Therapeutic strategy – Development of therapeutic strategies based on biological
findings in animal models and optimization for safety and efficacy
Drug development – Optimization of lead compounds to improve drug-target
specificity, bioavailability, or pharmacokinetics, as well as determination of
appropriate dose, dosing strategy, and route of administration.
Clinical trials – Design and execution of clinical trials in man to address cognitive
In the first step of the Translational Cycle, human disorders are identified as distinct from each
other and the phenotypes are characterized (Fig. 1, step 1). The first NDDs described in this
manner were common disorders with external traits including skin lesions and benign tumors
in neurocutaneous syndromes such as tuberous sclerosis 7–9 and craniofacial abnormalities in
Down syndrome 10. Today, NDD diagnosis relies on detailed genetic and cognitive testing,
behavioral phenotyping and, in some cases, neuroimaging. Improved characterization of NDDs
to identify relative cognitive strengths and weaknesses (Fig. 1, step 1) has focused animal
behavioral studies and determined brain regions of interest. For instance, human deficits in
executive control and long-term memory implicate the frontal cortex and hippocampus,
Description of genetic causes of NDDs is a necessary step to enable the study of disease in
animal models (Fig. 1, step 2). Down syndrome was the first disorder described on the basis
of genetics due to the triplication of some or all of chromosome 21 11. Due to a revolution in
human genetics, the genes, alleles, expression patterns, epigenetic factors, and patterns of
inheritance that underlie various NDDs have been described.
Animal models form the foundation for detailed studies of the biology responsible for cognitive
dysfunction in various NDDs (Fig. 1, step 3). Tools for genetically modifying mice and flies
include addition or removal of genes, inducible expression of genes at particular developmental
time points, and specificity of expression in cell types or tissues 12. Studies in animal models
reveal mechanisms of dysfunction and suggest therapies that target these pathways and
systems. However, the value of transgenic animal models is limited by the correspondence of
molecular, anatomical, physiological, and behavioral pathology in animals to that in man.
Careful study of brain pathology and mouse behavior establishes how well an animal model
represents human disease (Fig. 1, step 4). Therapeutic strategies are evaluated in animal models
by measuring markers of dysfunction and performance in behavioral tasks (Fig. 1, step 5). A
particular therapeutic strategy may address only a subset of cognitive functions, so multiple
therapeutic strategies that target distinct deficits and brain areas are desirable.
Significant efforts are required to translate a viable therapeutic strategy into an approved drug.
Drug development optimizes a therapeutic compound to improve drug-target specificity,
reduce or eliminate dangerous side effects, and determine dose and route of administration
(Fig. 1, step 6). Next, a lead compound enters clinical trials in man to test safety and efficacy

of therapeutic strategies discovered in animal models (Fig. 1, step7). For drugs intended to
address intellectual deficits, trial design can be difficult due to relatively insensitive outcome
measures such as cognitive tests. Moreover, outcome measures based on caretaker
questionnaires are susceptible to bias, and the correspondence of improved outcome measures
with higher functioning in daily living skills may not be straightforward. An approved
pharmacotherapy for an NDD would reduce one or more cognitive deficits or maladaptive
behaviors. Such a therapy completes the Translational Cycle by addressing the disease
Important translational research challenges remain despite significant advances in the
development of potential therapeutic strategies for NDDs. Animal models are often an
imperfect representation of human disease or developmental disorders, and the differences
between species may carry special significance for disease pathology. Moreover, higher
cognitive functions in man such as language do not exist in mice or flies. Thus, improved
characterization of animal models of NDDs requires better behavioral assays and physiological
measurements. New animal models may improve the correspondence with human conditions.
More specific and efficacious second-generation therapies require improved description of the
mechanisms underlying successful pharmacotherapeutic intervention. A second set of
challenges concern clinical development (Fig. 1, steps 5–7). Clinical development programs
are expensive and low yield. Raising funds through government, philanthropic, and industry
sources is challenging and slow.
In the following sections, we review translational research progress for several well-studied
genetically-based childhood NDDs with an emphasis on research in animal models.
Down syndrome
Down syndrome (DS) is caused by total or partial triplication of chromosome 21 (Hsa21) and
occurs in approximately 1/700–1000 live births 13,14. Most individuals with DS exhibit mild
to severe intellectual disability. Medical conditions such as congenital heart disease,
Alzheimer's disease, and epilepsy are common 15. Individuals with DS have particular deficits
in verbal skills 16 and cognitive tasks that depend on prefrontal, hippocampal, or cerebellar
function 17,18. Compared with previous decades, individuals with DS live longer and integrate
more fully in social, family, and educational environments 19.
There are approximately 300–400 genes on Hsa21 20–22, but not all genes are expressed at the
expected 1.5-fold level, underscoring the complexity of epigenetic interactions 23 (Fig. 2C).
Segmentally trisomic mouse models of DS enable studies of the combined effect of trisomy
for many genes 20,24,25. The well-studied Ts65Dn mouse is trisomic for about 100 genes on
mouse chromosome 16 (Mmu16) that are homologous to those on Hsa21 26. The so-called
'Down syndrome critical region' (DSCR) on Mmu16 appears to be necessary for learning and
plasticity deficits in mice 22, but there is conflicting evidence concerning whether the DSCR
is sufficient to cause these phenotypes 27,28.
Despite trisomy for only a subset of Hsa21 genes, mouse models of DS exhibit learning and
memory deficits and corresponding anatomical and physiological abnormalities 24. Electron
microscopy studies in Ts65Dnmice identified an excess of inhibitory synapses in the temporal
cortex 29 and hippocampus 30 and enlarged dendritic spines in several brain regions 31. Ts65Dn
mice have enhanced long-term depression (LTD) and reduced NMDA receptor-dependent
long-term plasticity (LTP) of synapses in the CA1 region of the hippocampus 27,32–38.
Signaling molecules involved in the induction of LTP are also disrupted in the hippocampus

Page 5
of Ts65Dn mice 39. Based on these anatomical and physiological studies, therapeutic strategies
have been described that rescue LTP and deficits in hippocampal-dependent behavior.
Excessive activity of inhibitory neurons causes hippocampal LTP deficits in Ts65Dn mice,
and drugs that reduce inhibition improve cognitive function in DS mice 3 (Fig. A–B). In slice
studies, bath application of a GABAA receptor antagonist rescues LTP induction 34,36,37.
GABAA receptor antagonists have been used to enhance LTP since the first slice studies of
plasticity 40, so the viability of this strategy in vivo required direct testing. In adult Ts65Dn
mice, low daily doses of a GABAA antagonist such as pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) generated
improvements in the induction of hippocampal LTP and learning that lasted for months after
a two-week treatment regimen had ended 35,37. GABAA antagonists can induce seizures at
high doses and reduce the threshold for seizures via 'kindling' at moderate doses 41 but neither
effect was observed at efficacious doses in mice (Garner et al., in preparation). Young DS
children have increased susceptibility to seizures, so clinical development of GABAA drugs
requires careful design and safety controls 3. Beginning in the 1930s, PTZ was used clinically
for 50 years for a variety of indications, including schizophrenia 42, senility 43, and some forms
of intellectual disability 44, but the FDA revoked PTZ approval in 1982 due to absence of
efficacy data. This long history of safe use in man makes PTZ a promising candidate for clinical
development. Drugs that target specific GABAA receptor subtypes, such as those containing
the α5 subunit, could provide a larger therapeutic window for treatment 45. However, more
work is required to develop safe α5-specific compounds 46.
Another mechanism that causes excessive inhibition in Ts65Dn mice is overexpression of G-
protein-coupled inward rectifying potassium 2 (GIRK2) channels that are activated by
GABAB receptors 47. As a result, GABAB activation of GIRK2 channels enhanced inhibitory
currents 48, and the GABAB antagonist CGP53432 improved LTP in Ts65Dn hippocampal
slices 49. Thus, drugs that target GABAB receptors offer an additional therapeutic target.
Neuromodulatory nuclei in the brainstem required for normal memory function degenerate in
mouse models of DS, and drug therapies to enhance cholinergic and norepinephrinergic activity
rescue behavioral deficits in DS mice. A third copy of the amyloid precursor protein (APP)
gene disrupts retrograde transport of nerve growth factor (NGF), causes degeneration of basal
forebrain cholinergic neurons 50,51 and may be linked to memory deficits 52. In Ts65Dn mice,
elevated levels of oxidative stress contribute to basal forebrain degeneration and memory
impairment 53. The cholinergic system also degrades in Alzheimer's disease (AD), and
individuals with DS commonly show early onset of AD pathology and progressive cognitive
impairment 54,55. Approved AD drugs may help in DS. However, despite promising small,
open-label trials, larger blinded studies have failed to find benefit of acetylcholinesterase
inhibitor drugs approved for AD. The acetylcholinesterase inhibitor donepezil (Aricept™,
Pfizer, New York, NY) is not efficacious in Ts65Dn mice 37 and its efficacy in man is
inconclusive 56. In contrast, acute injection of the noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist
memantine (Namenda™, Forest Laboratories, New York, NY), an approved AD drug,
improved performance in contextual fear conditioning in Ts65Dn mice 33,57 and a clinical trial
is underway. Rivastigmine (Exelon™, Novartis, Basel, Switzerland), an approved drug for
treatment of dementia in Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, is also being assessed
in the clinic.
Norepinephrinergic cells in another brainstem nucleus important for memory, the locus
coeruleus (LC), also degenerate in Ts65Dn mice 58. Treatment with either a norepinephrine
pro-drug approved to address neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, L-DOPS (Droxidopa™,
Sumitomo Pharmaceuticals, Tokyo, Japan and Chelsea Therapeutics, Charlotte, NC), or
xamoterol, a β-adrenergic partial agonist, improved performance in some behaviors 58. Though
promising, this therapeutic strategy requires more work due to the high doses of pro-drug used.

SEOUL — There is no sure path for the transition of power in nuclear-armed North Korea, even as its citizens mourn the death of longtime dictator Kim Jong-il and praise the rise of his hand-picked successor, Kim Jong-un, regional analysts say.
Kim Jong-un, 27, who was first presented to the public last year, possesses the titles of power - four-star general, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission - but lacks the decades of experience his father had when he took control of North Korea's totalitarian regime.
"[Kim Jong-un] may not have enough experience, as well as time, to effectively manage the military and elites who keep the Kim family in power," said a U.S. official who spoke on background in order to openly discuss developments.
"However, it's possible that his preparation, to date, has been enough, and the regime elites are too invested in the family, or too cautious to do anything else but support him," the official added.
Mr. Kim's brother-in-law Chang Song-taek is widely acknowledged as an important power player in Pyongyang and likely would act as a regent to Kim Jong-un and help preserve the regime.
"I think it will make sense for the power elite to stay stable, so I think they will coalesce around Kim Jong-un," said Michael Breen, a biographer of the late Mr. Kim. "But whether he can solidify his power, and whether instability will kick in later, is the question."
Jae Ku, director of the U.S.-Korea Institute at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, said the transition of power will be smooth because "the family is the only game in town."
He added that formal succession could be postponed to allow for a period of mourning.
North Korea had a three-year mourning period after the death of the regime's founder and Mr. Kim's father, Kim Il-sung, in 1994.
However, a major celebration has been planned in April to mark the 100th anniversary of Kim Il-sung's birth, which could curtail the mourning period.
Mr. Kim reportedly died from heart failure at age 69 on Saturday. He is expected to be entombed Dec. 28 with his father at the Kumsusan Memorial Palace in central Pyongyang, the nation's capital.
Kim Jong-un, who reportedly will turn 28 on Jan. 8, is an enigmatic figure, having spent most of his life in secretive North Korea but also having studied at a private Swiss boarding school in the mid-1990s.
Since his debut last year, Kim Jong-un's public role has expanded steadily to build his credentials, and he appeared with his father at several high-level events.
Kim Jong-un is believed to have the mannerisms, personality and ideology of his mercurial father. "Kim Jong-il picked the apple that didn't fall far from the tree," said the U.S. official. "He didn't select a successor who he believed would radically depart from his vision for North Korea."
North Korea is officially run by the Korean Workers' Party, or KWP, through the Supreme People's Assembly. The KWP's highest body is the Politburo Standing Committee, of which Kim Jong-un is a member.
