Donald Trump on Principles & Values
2000 Reform Primary Challenger for President
TRUMP: I fully understand.
Q: And that experts say an independent run would almost certainly hand the race over to Democrats & likely another Clinton. You can't say tonight that you can make that pledge?
TRUMP: I cannot say. I have to respect the person that [is nominated], if it's not me, I can totally make that pledge. If I'm the nominee, I will pledge I will not run as an independent. We want to win; I want to win as the Republican; I want to run as the Republican nominee.
RAND PAUL: He's already hedging his bet. Maybe he supports Clinton, or maybe he runs as an independent.
Q: You're not gonna make the pledge tonight?
TRUMP: I will not make the pledge at this time.
TRUMP: I come from a place, New York City, which is virtually, I mean, it is almost exclusively Democrat. And I have really started to see some of the negatives--as an example, and I have a lot of liking for [Jeb Bush], but the last number of months of his brother's administration were a catastrophe. And unfortunately, those few months gave us President Obama. And you can't be happy about that.
Obama is perceived by many Tea Partiers as a foreigner, an invader pretending to be an American, a 5th columnist. Obama's past as a community organizer is taken as evidence that he works on behalf of the undeserving poor and wishes to mobilize government resources on their behalf.
But it doesn't have to be this way. If we get tough and make the hard choices, we can make America a rich nation--and respected--once again.
We need a leader who will get tough, get smart, and get America working again. I believe America is worth fighting for, I believe America has nothing to apologize for. I believe America can get back her greatness. But we need a tough leader for tough times--someone who isn't afraid to do hard things.
"How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?" Trump said. "I'm thinking about it, I'm certainly looking into it. Let him show his records." By charging that Obama was not admitted based on merit, Trump is suggesting that Obama was admitted because he is black. In GOP politics, attacking racial minorities as the underachieving beneficiaries of affirmative action is a very old move. Trump is blatantly attacking Obama's teenage qualifications for college--a topic so obscure, it was a non-issue in Obama's exhaustive, two-year-long presidential campaign.
If I decided to run, I will not be raising taxes, we'll be taking back hundreds of billions of dollars from other countries that are screwing us, we'll be creating vast numbers of productive jobs, and we'll rebuild our country so that we can be proud. Our country will be great again.
Do you fear owning a business? Translate that for yourself as asking: Are you concerned about owning a business yourself? Why specifically are those concerns?
It's much easier to break down a concern than it is a fear. Fear creates a block that will only hinder your creative thinking. Objectivity will remove that block & allow creative ideas to flow. If you can learn to deal with & solve problems, you'll have a much bigger margin for success.
Do not allow fear to settle into place in any part of your life. It is a defeating attitude. Recognize and zap it immediately. Replace it with a problem-solving attitude, faith in yourself, and hard work. Put that formula into working order for yourself and you'll be dealing from a position of power, not fear. That's winning.
In this commercial, called "Rooftop," I am shown on the top of Trump Tower holding my Visa card when a gust of wind blows it out of my hand and down many scores of floors to the street below, which happens to be Fifth Avenue. Then I'm seeing rummaging through a Dumpster in search of my lost card, and when a well-dressed passerby on Fifth Avenue sees me emerge from the bottom of the Dumpster, she indignantly remarks, "and I thought he was doing so well!"
Here's my point: Go for having a good time because in the process of a lot of other people just might have a good time, too. My theory is: Take your work seriously, take yourself less seriously.
The opposite of toughness-weakness-makes me mad and sometimes turns my stomach. I�m not referring here to the kind of weakness that comes from being poor, sick, or disadvantaged. I�m talking about those people who can take a strong stand but just don�t.
Toughness is pride, drive, commitment, and the courage to follow through on things you believe in, even when they are under attack. It is solving problems instead of letting them fester. It is being who you really are, even when society wants you to be somebody else. Toughness is walking away from things you want because, for one reason or another, acquiring them doesn�t make sense. In business, toughness means playing by the rules but also putting those rules to work for you. It is looking at an adversary across the desk and saying, simply, No.
That got me thinking about the toot-your-own-horn theory, which is something I believe in. This poor rich guy is a perfect example of why I believe in it. The power of a name can be incredible. It can open doors like nothing else.
Until you have a "household name" you might do well to tell people who you are and what you've done. It's a start. It's also a way of networking to find out if you might have common interests.
Having an ego and acknowledging it is a healthy choice. Think about it: If you can't say great things about yourself, who do you think will? So don't be afraid to toot your own horn when you've done something worth tooting about.
I don't mean t sound like a faith leader, but there is something profound and yet simple about viewing failure as a lack of wholeness. I will also add, it's EFFECTIVE. Believing that a negative situation is temporary and wrong will give you the impetus to do something about it, to feel righteous and energetic about fixing it. Being unhappy and productive is simply not part of my game plan, and it shouldn't be part of yours, either.
A lot has happened to us all since 1987. That�s the year The Art of the Deal became the bestselling business book of the decade. Business Rule #1: If you don�t tell people about your success, they probably won�t know about it.
Business Rule #2: Keep it short, fast, and direct. The following pages will be straightforward and succinct, but don�t let the brevity of these passages prevent you from savoring the profundity of the advice you are about to receive.
The Mother of All Advice: �Trust in God and be true to yourself.� -Mary Trump, My Mother. When I look back, that was great advice, concise and wise at once. I didn�t really get it at first, later I realized how comprehensive this is- how to keep your bases covered while thinking about the big picture.
Good people equals good management and good management equals good people. They have to work together or they won�t work together for very long. I�ve seen excellent people get stuck in the mires of bad management. The good managers will eventually leave, followed by the good workers, & you will be left with a team that gets along because they�re all mediocre. Save yourself time by getting the best people you can. Sometimes this can mean choosing attitude over experience and credentials. Use your creativity to come up with a good mix.
Creative people rarely need to be motivated-they have their own inner drive that refuses to be bored. They refuse to be complacent. They live on the edge, which is precisely what is needed to be successful and remain successful.
In the 1980s, I was riding high. I�d become a major player in Manhattan, with many top-tier properties. I had a yacht, a plane, a bestselling book. In the late eighties, I lost focus. I�d fly off to Europe to attend fashion shows, and I wasn�t looking at the clothing. My lack of attention was killing my business.
That was a low point. Of the $9.2 billion I owed, I�d personally guaranteed a billion dollars. I was a schmuck, but I was a lucky schmuck, and I wound up dealing with some understanding bankers who worked out a fair deal. After being the king of the eighties, I survived the early nineties, and by the mid-to-late nineties, I was thriving again. But I learned my lesson. I work as hard today as I did when I was a young developer in the 1970s. Don�t make the mistake I did. Stay focused.
My phones are so busy that I require two executive assistants, and they never stop. They alone handle, on the average, more than 1,250 calls a week. They are not only efficient and fast, but also very pleasant and beautiful young women. You don�t have to be beautiful to work for me-just be good at your job. I�ve been accused of admiring beautiful women. I plead guilty. But when it comes to the workplace, anyone who is beautiful had better have brains, too. You need competent people with an inherent work ethic. I�m not a complacent person and I can�t have a complacent staff. I move forward quickly and so must they.
He said he "flirted briefly" with attending film school at the University of Southern California but decided that real estate was his calling. He spent two years at Fordham University in the Bronx before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and graduating in 1968. "Perhaps the most important thing I learned at Wharton was not to be overly impressed by academic credentials," he wrote in "The Art of the Deal."
[The breakup] is by no means a snap judgment. I�ve discussed the situation with many people. I even thought, briefly, about approaching Ivana with the idea of an �open marriage.� But I realized there was something hypocritical and tawdry about such an arrangement that neither of us could live with-especially Ivana. She�s too much of a lady.
It didn�t matter that there was never a lot of yelling in the house-it was time to make the tough decisions and get on with the rest of our lives.

Founded by Prof. Frank Gunstone and Dr William Christie, two of the world's most authorative lipid chemists, Mylnefield Lipid Analysis offers a fully accredited service that has gained a reputation for high quality and reliability.
''Having used MLA for contract analysis for more than 10 years I have found them not only helpful and customer focussed with respect to routine analysis but also one of the best laboratories I have encountered for more specialised analyses and analytical development work. As a specialist fatty acid company it is essential we can rely on the technical expertise of our contract labs. ''
Peter Clough, Technical Director Efamol Ltd.
"I'd like to take this opportunity to say how impressed we have been with the testing your lab has been doing for us. We've used other contract testing labs in the past and none of them come close to Mylnefield, either in terms of turnaround time or how the data has been presented."

2011 Market Outlook
All signs point to 2011 being a good year for the stock market. On this week's Money Matters, financial commentator Greg Heberlein tells KPLU's Dave Meyer this is a good time to invest.
Greg says:
-- Everything points to a high-flying year for stocks. The economy is improving, the stock market itself has gotten up off its knees, and the investment community offers a uniform chorus – now is the time to invest.
-- Anything wrong with that picture? Not if you have a longer-term outlook. The third year of a President's first term is always the best for stocks in the four-year election cycle. On average, stocks rise nearly 20 percent in the third year, which is what it is for the Obama administration.
-- Both Wall Street and a lot of non-Wall Streeters know that. Aye, there's the rub. When all investors move in one direction, or expect a move in one direction, the diabolic stock market often throws a curve ball and reverses. So let's say it likely will be a good year. But with all the sentiment starting out so rosy, maybe the big gains will come later in the year, after the optimists experience a reversal.
-- So the latest coming of the bull market continues, only with a temporary respite. With many banks still at death's door, with construction and real estate companies falling like flies, with foreign economies on the brink, a little breather might make sense.
-- Since the economy will continue to advance, hints of inflation will recur. That means interest rates will rise, a good thing for long-suffering consumers getting short-changed by microscopic returns on savings accounts. But higher interest rates will penalize those already holding low-interest bonds. So the outlook for bondholders is not negative. That's good for stocks, which should .blossom as bond investors switch.
-- But a little inflation is good for stocks. In fact, inflation as high as 5-7 percent, which we're nowhere near, is paradise for stockholders.
-- So, if a pause is to occur, it should come quickly. The all-clear signal may not be far away. Where, then, should investors go?
-- Assuming individual investors come back to Wall Street – and they haven't since Wall Street stripped them of so many of their worldly possessions in recent years – a cautious toe in the water makes sense.
-- Reluctant investors should forgo overseas as well as overvalued U.S. stocks. They should embrace investing conservatism. To many, that means larger-company stocks, such as those in the Dow Jones industrial average. But which ones? We have an answer.
-- There is an often overlooked dictum among investors that says what was bad last year is likely to do better this year than what did well last year. That has proved often true in mutual funds and it works as well in stocks.
-- The Dow contains 30 of the biggest, most stable companies . Even though the Dow gained 11 percent last year, four of the 30 stocks lost at least 8 percent. Investors would be wise to evaluate those four and pick what they deem the safest plays. Those four are Microsoft, Bank of America, Cisco and Hewlett Packard. Three others that fell by lesser margins were Johnson & Johnson, Alcoa and Pfizer. In fact, those seven would make up a fairly diversified portfolio with good prospects.
-- Another batch to consider is stocks flung out of the Dow in recent years. Looking at the five stocks expelled in the past three years, the average gain was 1 percent. That won't match the Dow, but it embarrasses the five new stocks, which lost an average of six and a half percent. The five stocks dumped since early 2008 are Altria, Honeywell, AIG, Citigroup and General Motors.
-- Happy investing!

A little while back, Photo District News named me one of the 30 most influential living photographers of the last decade. Of course, it was a ridiculous assertion. I'm just hoping that, by influence, those that voted meant empowering all of us to flourish in their calling as professional creatives. When it comes to the creativity world, that's what I care about most.
To that end, I've authored two books for photographers - both published by Random House - as well as a bunch of other resources for photographers.
I've taught at Brooks Institute, Westmont College, SXSW, PPE, WPPI, Imaging USA as well as events throughout North America, South America, Europe & Asia.

When you are ready to start marketing any type of product or service on the Internet, or even if you have a real world business, using the marketing mix strategy is absolutely necessary if you want to get positive results. This was originally made by a man by the name of Neil Bourdon back in the 1950s, and it has subsequently changed. Although the original 4 P's still remain, two additional strategies have been added which have made it even more useful. Let's go over what this is, how it works, and why it is what will allow you to become more profitable with your business this year.
Understanding The Marketing Mix Strategies
The original strategy that was used was called he 4 P's. It represented price, product, promotion and place. This four-part strategy was actually made by a person named MacCarthy, something that has been around since the 1960s. The first part references the product, and the main goal is to make sure that it is what will satisfy a consumer with either an intangible service or a tangible good. Next, the price of the product is determined, measuring it up against customer perceived value, helping to establish the best and most profitable price point. The third part is called promotion which is essentially how you market this. This would be done not only through traditional means, but through Internet marketing strategies such as PPC traffic. Finally, is distribution which simply means how the product or service is delivered, choosing the most effective way to get the product or service to the customer.
New Strategies Added To The Mix
Two other multi-part strategies were added which are seemingly derivatives of the original. The first one is the 4 C's which refers to the consumer, cost of the product, communication with the buyers, and how convenient it is to access. Finally the 7 C's were added, referred to as a Compass Model, which looks at many different things including the needs and wants of the customer, as well as their education and social economic situation, more than likely the precursor to modern day demographic analysis. The combination of all of these strategies can help you determine who your target market is, what products are selling, and what type of advertising can help you make the most money.

I am a firm believer in using both technical analysis and fundamental research as stock picking tools. Many investors mistakenly specialize in one discipline or the other rather than a mixture of the two.
Market technicians are often guilty of reaching the conclusion that all the fundamental information is already inherent in the price of a security, therefore researching fundamentals is redundant. At the same time, hard-core fundamentalists believe that technical analysis only charts the past and thus cannot help with projecting the future.
I have found both of these sentiments to be correct and to be wrong at the same time. All the fundamental information about a stock is inherent in its price. However, studying price alone will not increase your odds of making a winning trade.
Knowing fundamentals while ignoring the technical picture may provide a reason for the stock movement, but does not confirm that price will move in any specific direction. Focusing solely on the technical picture will tell you what has happened and what may happen. But there are no guarantees or statistical tests that have uniformly proven much of traditional technical analysis works to provide an edge.
So what's an investor to do?
The answer is to use both fundamentals and technical analysis to choose stocks. If both disciplines agree on a particular stock, that stock becomes a strong candidate to add to your portfolio or to short. When there is disagreement, a short-term trade often presents itself.
Today's trade is an example of a classic case of fundamentals and technical analysis disagreeing.
The stock is Camtek (Nasdaq: CAMT), an Israeli designer, developer and manufacturer of automatic optical inspection (AOI) systems. AOI systems are computer-driven systems that inspect electronic components for defects at the manufacturing level. The company also makes products for the printed circuit board industry.
Additionally, it is in the advanced stages of developing a digital 3-D printing system called the GreenJet System. This printer is intended to be used for the disposition of solder mask on circuit boards. The first commercial sales of this product are slated to take place sometime in 2014.
Camtek, which has a market cap of about $150 million, posted solid results for the third quarter with revenue of $21.7 million and operating cash flow of $3.1 million. It ended the quarter with a cash position of $20.3 million.
Shares soared higher late last month on rumors that the company was launching the 3-D printer system. It turns out the company will only be testing the system with a client at the start of 2014. Profits are only expected should the testing produce positive results, and then not until the tail end of 2014.
While there is certainly nothing wrong with the known fundamental health of Camtek, the technical picture paints a clear short selling opportunity.
Shares made a huge run from under $2, soaring more than 200% and gapping to a high near $6.50 in just two days. They have since fallen back to the $4.50 to $5 range. This chart pattern indicates exhaustion on the upside, which means the price should soon collapse.
While the longer-term fundamental picture for CAMT may be bullish, traders are likely to be able to make a quick profit by shorting the stock here. As you can see, considering the fundamentals and technicals together clarifies what action makes sense here and now.
Action to Take -->
-- Sell CAMT short between $4 and $6
-- Set stop-loss order $1 above your entry level
-- Set initial price target at $2 for a gain of 50% to 67% in six weeks

MOSCOW (AP) -Georgios Samaras scored in the 90th minute to give Celtic a 3-2 win at 10-man Spartak Moscow in the group stage of the Champions League on Tuesday.
The Greece striker leapt above a defender to head a cross from into the net from left back Emilio Izaguirre, giving the Scottish club four points in Group G after two matches.
It is the second straight loss for Spartak in a group that also contains Benfica and Barcelona.
Celtic manager Neil Lennon hailed his players for their spirit in coming back to win after trailing 2-1 shortly after halftime.
"I can't speak highly enough of the players. They were magnificent and they played magnificent football at a very tough venue against an excellent side," Lennon said.
The visitors sat inside their own half for much of the first half, content to launch incisive counterattacks.
Against the flow of play, Celtic right back Mikael Lustig set up lone striker Gary Hooper, who slipped between two Spartak defenders to deftly put the ball into the back of the net from the edge of the six-yard box in the 12th minute.
The goal re-energized the Scottish side, but a goal either side of halftime from Nigerian forward Emmanuel Emenike put Spartak 2-1 ahead.
The home side's breakthrough came courtesy of a long-distance pass by midfielder Kim Kallstrom in the 41st from halfway to Brazilian striker Ari, who passed the ball sideways to give Emmanuel Emenike a simple tap-in.
Emeninke doubled his tally three minutes into the second half, Ari again providing him with the ball from Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster's fumbled parry of a powerful shot from outside the box by Demy de Zeeuw.
As the Russian side looked like it might find its stride, defender Juan Manuel Insaurralde was shown a red card in the 64th minute for being the last man in defense when he brought Hooper down on one of his many surging, counterattacking moves.
Hooper found winger James Forrest in a crowded Spartak box for a shot that was knocked back by `keeper Sergei Pesyakov in the 71st minute, only for the ball to be deflected back into the net for an own-goal by Dmitry Kombarov.
"Nothing is lost, we will fight on," Spartak Moscow owner Leonid Fedun said. "You could see that it was all normal until the sending off. And the second goal against us was so stupid."

Today's Gulfstream press notes:
BOYNTON BEACH, FL – Sunday's $150,000 Palm Beach (G3) was the target for Balance the Books' 2013 debut, but the promising 3-year-old turf runner will stay in the barn because of lost training time due to a recent fever.
"I was going to run Balance the Books, but he got a temperature about a week ago. It's really disappointing, because he's the one I wanted to run there," trainer Chad Brown said during training hours at Palm Meadows Training Center Wednesday morning "He's OK. I just went back to the track with him, but he did lose a couple days because of the temperature."
Brown had originally planned to prep Balance the Books in the Palm Beach, a 1 1/8-mile turf stakes that attracted Kitten's Joy Stakes winner Charming Kitten, to prep for the Blue Grass (G1) at Keeneland on April 13.
"I might have to go to Plan B and run him in the Spiral at Turfway (March 23) and then wheel him back in the Blue Grass," Brown said. "It wasn't my ideal plan, but you have to make adjustments with horses."
Should the son of Lemon Drop Kid perform well over the synthetic tracks at Turfway and Keeneland, Brown will certainly experience pressure to go for it in the Kentucky Derby on May 4.
"He's always struck me as a grass horse, or a synthetic horse, but there might come a day where we might try him on the dirt," he said.
Balance the Books finished a troubled third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) behind stablemate Noble Tune, who was also nominated to the Palm Beach.
"He's never been a mile and an eighth before; I'm certainly not going to do it off a layoff, not with that particular horse. Balance the Books is better equipped to do run a mile and an eighth, even off a layoff. He's a more long-winded horse," Brown said. "With Noble Tune, his first race back, I want to start him off at a slightly shorter distance if I can. I'm not positive what race that's going to be yet."
Brown will be represented in Thursday's featured ninth race, a first-level optional claiming turf race at five furlongs, by Devil's Cave. The 3-year-old daughter of Put It Back broke her maiden at Gulfstream Park on Dec. 12 in her second lifetime start and first start on turf. She came back to finish second on Jan. 11.
"She looks like a one-turn grass horse. She's so lightly raced, I think she can improve throughout the year," Brown said. "I'm not sure at what level she'll be. We'll give her the opportunity to develop."
John Velazquez, who was aboard for Devil's Cave's three starts, has the return mount aboard the Florida-bred filly.
Horsemen's Dinner to Honor Ussery
Hall of Fame jockey Bobby Ussery will be honored by friends and horsemen Tuesday, March 5 during a dinner at Luca Bella Restaurant in Aventura.
Ussery, a native of Oklahoma, won his first race on Nov. 22, 1951 aboard Reticule in the Thanksgiving Handicap at Fair Grounds. In 1960 he rode Bally Ache to victories in the Florida Derby and Preakness Stakes and rode champion Hail to Reason to win the Hopeful Stakes. In 1967 he won the Kentucky Derby with Proud Clarion.
The cost per person is $50 and includes cocktails and a four-course dinner menu. For more information contact Bill and Mary Hirsch at 954.454.9375.

Here's the outlook:
Today Mostly sunny, with a high near 39. North northwest wind 6 to 11 mph becoming northeast in the afternoon.
Tonight Partly cloudy, with a low around 27. East wind 7 to 10 mph becoming south southeast after midnight.

The four Sundays prior to Christmas Day we mark as a community by reflections written by students, faculty, alums, administrators and friends of Hamilton College. Learn more about Advent reflections.
We also offer two Christmas Services for our community:
Christmas Vespers Service of Lessons and Carols
The countdown to Easter begins with Ash Wednesday, 40 days before Easter Sunday – not counting the Sundays – the period of time called Lent. Beginning the day after Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday), Ash Wednesday initiates the season of Lent, characterized by self-examination, and the spiritual discipline of fasting, or giving up something important to yourself.
• Ash Wednesday is a holy day in the Catholic tradition, and we hold a mass at noon in the chapel on that day.
• A Protestant communion service is held at 4 pm on Ash Wednesday in the Meditation Room upstairs in the chapel.
Imposition of ashes is available at both services.
Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, where palms are distributed in all chapel services.

Steve saddled Old Snort and rode him down to the Mule Barn late in the afternoon, after chores were done. He had a sack with several days' worth of groceries in it, and wore a smile that transcended the workaday world.
He ordered a meal that wasn't at all what his doctor ordered, and just sat there smiling at the rest of us.
"Three days," Steve said. We nodded and smiled, as if we knew why.
"Going to the cabin for three days," Steve said. We silently said aah.
Steve's cabin has been a wonderment to him and to us all. Deep inside each of us is a little voice that says if Steve can build a little cabin in the mountains, complete with a stall outside for Old Snort and a turret for looking down on earthlings, we can, too. We probably won't, because that's hard work and most of us have family to consider, but we sure are glad Steve built that little place.
"I'll bet Snort likes it there, too," said Doc.
"He seems to. I think he likes the pine trees and you know it's cooler there than it is down here. Hard to tell with a horse, though. Could be he's just tolerating it."
"You wish you knew, I'll bet," said Dewey.
"Not really," Steve said, diving into a platter full of deep-fried calories smothered in cholesterol sauce. "If I knew how Ol' Snort felt about riding up there, and it turned out he didn't care for it, I'd feel just awful. Every step along the way I'd know he was going against his will. Every time I turned his head up the trail, I'd worry that he wasn't having fun.
"Why, he might be thinking I'm a cruel guy to make him go up these mountains on what is supposed to be his day off. He'd figure he hadn't signed up for this kind of duty and might want to talk the other horses into organizing, once we got back."
"So you'd leave him home and drive up there, I guess."
Steve twinkled behind the owl mustache. "Of course not. An old pardner of mine like that can't be left home. Besides, I'm the one giving the orders."

Damon lf, Jeter ss, Abreu rf, Rodriguez 3b, Giambi 1b, Cano 2b, Posada c, Matsui dh, Cabrera cf, Mussina p.
In Mike Mussina's major-league debut -- Aug. 4, 1991 -- Frank Thomas (then with the Chicago White Sox) went 3-for-3 off Mussina with a walk, two doubles and a homer. And Mussina lost 1-0.
Thomas, now Toronto's DH, hasn't stopped hitting Mussina. Totals: 30-for-80 (.375) with nine doubles, nine homers, 12 walks and 21 RBI.
Another tough out for Mussina: Jays catcher Rod Barajas -- 4-for-14 with two homers. And that DOESN'T include Barajas' homer off Mussina in Game 5 of the 2001 World Series.
But, in Mussina's favor, he has won five straight decisions against the Jays, going 14-4 against them since joining the Yankees (8-2 at Yankee Stadium). Last year Mussina was 2-0 with a 2.13 ERA in two starts against Toronto, and 9-10 with a 5.43 ERA against everyone else.

Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 5
Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 5 (PCH5) is a very rare severe form of PCH (see this terme) with prenatal onset and characterized by fetal onset of clonus or seizures-like activity persisting in infancy and microencephaly leading to early postnatal death. There is significant overlap both in phenotype and in genotype between pontocerebellar hypoplasia types 4 and 5.
PCH5 is reported in 3 siblings to date.
PCH5, clinically resembling PCH4 (see this term), is characterized by fetal onset of clonus or seizure-like episodes, microcephaly, cerebellar hypoplasia persisting in infancy and microencephaly leading to early postnatal death.
PCH5 is caused by a compound heterozygosity for p.A307S plus splice site mutation in the
Clinically similar to PCH4, PCH5 is demonstrated on autopsy. MRI demonstrates inferior olivary dysplasia, and pontocerebellar hypoplasia with the vermis much more degenerated than cerebellar hemispheres. Pathological findings show and increased degeneration with Purkinje and granule cells in the vermis.
Antenatal diagnosis is possible by ultrasonic assessment of cerebellar width at 16-18 weeks gestation.

Jones powers Charge over BayHawks
CANTON, Ohio -- Rookie Kevin Jones posted 27 points and 13 rebounds in leading the Canton Charge to a 91-80 win against the Erie BayHawks before 2,364 fans Friday at the Canton Memorial Civic Center.
The BayHawks (1-1) face the Charge (1-3) again in their home opener today at 7 p.m. at Erie Insurance Arena.
Signed by Canton's sole NBA affiliate, the Cleveland Cavaliers, on Thursday, Jones had his fourth double-double in as many games for the Charge. The 6-foot 8-inch, 251-pound forward out of West Virginia is averaging 27 points and 13.5 rebounds.
The Charge finished with a resounding 57-31 rebounding edge Friday to offset turning the ball over 29 times. Canton had 19 offensive rebounds.
D.J. Kennedy paced Erie with 21 points, nine rebounds and four assists.
The BayHawks trailed 48-34 at halftime and were down by as many as 24 points early in the second half. Erie trimmed Canton's lead to 82-72 late in the fourth quarter, but missed three of its next five free throws. Kyle Gibson answered with making two free throws to push Canton's lead back to 84-74 with 59.5 seconds left.
Rookie Henry Sims and Nick Covington had 16 and 14 points, respectively, for Erie. Erik Daniels added four points in his return to the BayHawks.
Alex Ruoff, a second-round pick of the BayHawks in last month's D-League draft, had three points for the Charge. Erie traded first-round pick Jack McClinton III and Ruoff to the Reno Bighorns, who traded Ruoff to Canton. Ruoff and Jones were teammates at West Virginia.

text: Explore Havana Habana Vieja Parque Morro-Cabaña El Cristo de La Habana Centro Habana Vedado Miramar and the western suburbs East of Havana Share Walking the streets of Havana you may notice people dressed head-to-foot in white, a bead necklace providing the only colour in their costume. These are practitioners of Santería, the most popular of Afro–Cuban religions, and the beads represent their appointed orisha, the gods and goddesses at the heart of their worship. With its roots in the religious beliefs of the Yoruba people of West Africa, Santería spread in Cuba with the importation of slaves from that region. Forbidden by the Spanish to practise their faith, the slaves found ways of hiding images of their gods behind those of the Catholic saints to whom they were forced to pay homage. From this developed the syncretism of African orishas with their Catholic counterparts – thus, for example, the Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, the patron saint of Cuba, embodies the orisha known as Oshún, the goddess of femininity, in part because both are believed to provide protection during birth. Similarly, Yemayá, goddess of water and queen of the sea – considered the mother of all orishas – is the equivalent of the Virgen de Regla, whom Spanish Catholics believed protected sailors. Other pairings include San Lázaro, patron saint of the sick, with Babalu-Ayé, Santa Bárbara with Changó, and San Cristóbal with Aggayú. There are some four hundred Afro–Cuban orishas in all.

Skip to comments.Gadgets using lithium to be barred from overseas shipments
Posted on 05/12/2012 4:04:02 PM PDT by Jet Jaguar
If youre a servicemember overseas planning to order the latest smartphone or laptop from the United States, take a second look at your options.
Effective May 16, new U.S. Postal Service restrictions will ban air shipping of any electronics containing lithium batteries such as iPads, smartphones and digital cameras between the United States and overseas locations.
The ban affects hundreds of thousands of servicemembers, foreign service officers and their families who rely on military and diplomatic post office addresses to receive packages.
The rules do not affect travelers carrying electronics.
Until January 2013, the Postal Service will not be able to accept packages containing lithium batteries and electronic devices containing lithium batteries addressed to international destinations, the U.S. Postal Service stated in a recent service alert. This includes mail destined to, or from, APO (Army Post Office), FPO (Fleet Post Office) and DPO (Diplomatic Post Office) locations.
The ban follows safety rules set by the International Civil Aviation Organization and the Universal Postal Union, both of which currently prohibit lithium batteries in mail shipments that are carried on international commercial air transportation, the USPS alert said.
The new rule also extends to shipment by sea, according to a USPS spokeswoman, further limiting alternatives to air transport. FedEx, DHL and other private carriers do ship consumer electronics containing lithium batteries, according to their websites, and they have not made any announcements indicating a change.
The USPS said it anticipates that international aviation rules will change by January 2013 and that it is working with expert organizations to determine if any new exceptions can be developed prior to January 2013.
Military officials in the Pacific and Europe have discussed sending electronics containing lithium batteries from theater by ship or through the Air Mobility Command, but neither of those options was approved as of Friday.
We cant reach every place with those (AMC flights), said William Kiser, theater postal officer for European Command. Right now, we have no idea of volume, and we have no idea of frequency. And mail is the bottom priority.
Unclear is whether the battery-powered electronics purchased and shipped from the U.S. before the deadline will make it to their overseas destination.
For example, an item postmarked prior to May 16 may not reach the California destination where packages are forwarded to overseas servicemembers in the Pacific until after May 16.
Does that mean we will still be able to move that (package) forward? We dont know that yet, Navy Pacific region postal manager Mike Arnold said. That has not been clearly defined we are anticipating guidance almost on a daily basis in continuous updates.
As the rules now stand, people living overseas with base access have a few options, all of which will either cost more or limit their selection:
Shop through base exchange stores. Shop through base exchange stores. While this may offer the best pricing option and special orders can sometimes be made, selection is limited. The new ban also affects orders from the Army and Air Force Exchange Service website or catalog, said AAFES spokesman Chris Ward. The service is looking at alternative shipping options, Ward said in an email.
Use a private delivery service and ship internationally. Fedex and DHL deliver internationally to Japan and Europe. Servicemembers in many countries can use a country-specific address available at the base. However, international shipping often costs several times more than USPS and may not be available or reliable in less-developed countries. When shipping to the United States, private parcel carriers may have special instructions on packing and labeling lithium batteries.
Buy electronics within the local economy. Assuming the desired goods are available, this is also likely to cost more because of exchange rates, tariffs and other factors. For example, the newest 32-gigabyte iPad model costs $599 through the U.S. Apple Store, but the same device costs $620 through the Apple Germany website and $651 through an Apple Japan store.
The restrictions on lithium batteries came into effect after battery fires were blamed for at least two cargo plane disasters since 2006. A lithium battery burns with such intensity that if one catches fire, it can ignite all others in a shipment, according to a 2011 Federal Aviation Administration study.
Electronics retailers typically ship goods with minimally charged batteries to reduce the chance of accidents.
Active Duty/Retiree Ping.
Might be better to UPS it to yourself.. Safer anyway!
Makes sense.
From what I hear, they don't really need the business anyway.
Let me see if I get this right. The Post Office is already losing money so they have decided to ban shipping of certain items. Therefore, they are going to lose more money because they are forcing customers to ship somewhere else. Makes sense to me. Shrug.
USPS should just close up.
Sounds like an 0bama directive.
If it makes sense and is good for the country then stop it!
Sounds to me like somebody in the lithium battery business has found the right palms to grease in DC.
They could go to every other day delivery and close a lot of old facilities, but then govt. employees would lose jobs.
I think it would be fun to swamp them with postage due mail, things they have to stop and try to collect a nickel on. It's the civil disobedience side of me, take an agency down.
Sounds to me like somebody in the lithium battery business has found the right palms to grease in DC.
Lithium watch batteries ?
Many small lights and interments use lithium button cells.
This will be fun/NOT!
why the ban? Some international UN thing. Are we nuts?
As a watchmaker, I'm laughing myself silly. Does anyone but those of my trade, know what a HUGE proportion of WRIST WATCHES, worn by one and all, are powered by LITHIUM BATTERIES?
Additionally, the proper thickness and diameter batteries for all these watches are ONLY found as LITHIUM.
Of course, on a sunny day, the traditional SUN DIAL can still be used.
In the good old days (1960s), the USPS used to say "we can't make money because we have to carry all those packages". After UPS and FedEx came into being, the story changed.
Aren't most DC palms greased easily?
One wonders if this is what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they created this nation.
This has to do with international commercial air transport governed under various treaties, and the two organizations cited above act as a consequence of treaties already in place.
USPS didn't think this one up on their own!
This is pursuant to an existing international treaty ~ not USPS, not even anyone currently in DC.
UPS and FedEx aren't carrying these items either.
The international agreements governing this latest rule predate the UN by many years.
Years ago when one of my daughters was in high school she and her friends had a little post office scam going. It was for greeting cards.
They would mail it to themselves with the person they wanted to receive it as the return address.
No postage.
Voila,return to sender.
Greeting card received.
The lithium batteries you want to ship MUST ALSO meet the IATA standards as set forth in: http://www.iata.org/SiteCollectionDocuments/Documents/GuidanceDocumentontheTransportofLiBatt_2010.pdf ~ if you want to ship them by air. That usually involves pulling the batteries out of the device and wapping them separately from the device as instructed.
Guess this means you can't ship a Dolt..
Electronic burials of midgets????
What's the deal with Lithium batteries? Article doesn't say why they were banned in the first place. TSA also doesn't allow loose lithium batteries in carry on.
A device ...
The burial of a corpse in a grave or tomb, typically with funeral rites.
Maybe I should turn off Auto-Correct and wear my glasses?
That's like work!
I'm retired¿!
If you order a new iPhone, iPad or laptop from Apple, you can track the shipment from the factory in China to your front door via FedEx. I'm sure they're carrying tens of thousands of those batteries each day.
An aside: it's fascinating to watch the precision with which the package moves around the globe. I'd be challenged to get my body from home to a specific point in China in less than a day, but FedEx does it routinely with packages.
The batteries still have to packed according to IATA rules, and there are quantities limited for devices shipped in bulk.
BTW, the article gives the secret for shipping Li-ion batteries:Do not charge them! Only those with a near-full charge have the power to explode and cause firesl Besides, when they are installed in a device, there is little likelihood of them getting against something and shorting (and causing a fire).
Shipping them fully-charged -- in bulk -- is invitation to disaster!
Apple rcently shipped to me (@ no charge) a replacement for the three-year old battery in my MacBook Pro. The instructions included, "Charge fully before using..."
The law is pretty clear ~ you cause it you own it. So if you ship a fully charged battery of any kind without totally following the hazmat rules and it does something that injures an employee in the supply chain ~ whether that's UPS, FedEx, USPS or somebody else you can be liable for just all sorts of things.
The lithium batteries are just one more in a series of troublesome devices.
I'm not sure I'd trust a fully charged lithium battery coming in the mail at my house if it originated in China. No way to know who packed it for one thing.
I don't bring their fireworks indoors either!

Nintendo (NASDAQOTH: NTDOY ) won the early rounds of the last console wars, followed by Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) as Xbox prices dropped and the Kinect made its presence known. Despite attractive features like a fully functional Blu-ray player, Sony (NYSE: SNE ) largely missed the boat entirely. The Japanese electronics giant was hurt by unfortunate pricing decisions that made you reach for the cheaper (but less impressive) rival systems instead.
The new Nintendo system has failed to repeat the Wii's massive success, leaving Microsoft and Sony to do battle over the video-game throne in 2013. At this week's E3 conference, Microsoft appears to have copied Sony's mistakes, while the PlayStation 4 benefits from the hard-won lessons of recent years. Both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 look like eminently usable machines, but is the Xbox One really worth $100 more than the Sony system? Plenty of consumers will probably think it's not.
In the following video, Fool contributor Anders Bylund walks you through the E3 action, explaining why Sony's low prices and Microsoft's draconian content control systems make Sony the early favorite.
It's incredible to think just how much of our digital and technological lives are almost entirely shaped and molded by just a handful of companies.

On Saturday, Quebec was facing the possibility of a mass concerted movement of Anglophones and Allophones using false documents to register en-mass in a half-dozen ridings.
On Sunday, we learned no such thing was happening.
New registrations were not massive, and were actually down in most of the ridings that had been the centre of concern.
So, what exactly kicked of the furor that had our own Attorney General casting doubt over the most essential component of our democracy?
The play by play is mighty interesting, and possibly quite revealing.
Saturday morning
Le Devoir says returning officers in the Montreal region are concerned about a "worrisome" and "abnormal" flood of people trying to obtain the right to vote.
It notes that 75% of the residents in the Sainte-Marie-Saint-Jacques riding are francophone.
(This original article mistakenly said nearly 95%, which was quickly corrected online. In fact, 67% speak French as their mother tongue.)
The article continues: "A demographic phenomenon observed in several ridings within the metropolis, which is worrying electoral authorities at the highest level." The story does not point to the source of this specific information.
Only two people are quoted in the paper: Mathieu Vandal, who had quit as the chair of the Saint-Marie-Saint-Jacques registration committee because of concerns over the quality of the documents being accepted, and the Elections Quebec spokesperson.
There is however, a third person in the story. An anonymous returning officer, who does say the demographic profile of people registering does not match that of the ridings, and that this phenomenon is being seen at a number of ridings in the heart of Montreal.
It should be noted that returning officers must be apolitical and neutral. At the same time, parties are allowed to appoint observers to monitor the activity.
....two days later
On Monday, Mathieu Vandal said on the CBC that he never told Le Devoir that he had seen a disproportionate influx of Anglophones and Allophones trying to register in Sainte--Marie-Saint-Jacques.
"No, no. I do not have the experience and the knowledge and the statistics to prove that."
host: "You didn't say that? That was a misquote?"
"Absolutely. I can not compare because this is the first time I was in that position. I was organizing elections, but never president of the *commission de revision."
Vandal does confirm, both on the CBC and in an open letter in Le Devoir, that he is concerned about the lack of rules for proving residency, and the lack of clarity about the documents required.
So, Was Vandal misquoted?
Perhaps there was a misunderstanding between Vandal and the reporter?
Or did the paper have a different source for this information? Perhaps the third, anonymous returning officer in the story.
Or perhaps a different person altogether.
The "95%" mistake is also interesting.
This could have been a simple oversight.
The reporter could have gotten mixed up with a different riding, for example.
Things like this happen.
Or, the incorrect figure may have been provided to him from one of his sources.
The questions are obvious and the answers unclear.
Saturday evening
Le Devoir reports that a total seven ridings have "been assaulted with an abnormal flood of Anglophones and Allophones that have been trying to vote for the past week."
The article says the phenomenon has been seen in Sherbrooke, Saint-François, Saint-Henri-Sainte-Anne, Westmount-Saint-Louis, Groulx, and Miles-Iles.
It does not note the source for this information, not even an anonymous one.
The only people quoted in the story are Pauline Marois and an Elections Quebec spokesperson.
More than half way down, the article brings up some source within the Parti Quebecois: "According to the PQ, the phenomenon comes especially from Anglophone universities that incite students from other provinces to register to vote, often to cause a detriment to the sovereigntist party."
At around the same period of time, the chief electoral officer does confirm that certain ridings appear to be experiencing heightened demand. The list is similar, but not the same, as the one published in Le Devoir. Specifically, the chief electoral officer does not list Groulx or Miles-Iles.
The question raised here is so obvious they should hardly be controversial.
If the writer's source about the ridings is Elections Quebec, then why are the lists slightly different?
Once again, it could be a simple oversight. But Groulx and Miles-Iles? Odd.
If the paper did not get its list of ridings from Elections Quebec, but from some other place, then why are the two lists so similar?
The Elections Quebec retracts its previous statement. It says the information it had sent out that some ridings were experiencing an influx was faulty and provided by a "political party" that it will not name.
Le Devoir, however, reveals that it knows what this source is...the Parti Quebecois.

Most people have headaches from time to time. But if you have a headache on more days than not, you may be experiencing cluster headaches.
"Cluster headaches usually occur in cycles, known as cluster periods," explained Board certified Neurologist Chaohua Yan, M.D., Ph.D.
"These headache episodes may last from weeks to months, and are usually followed by periods when the headaches stop entirely."
Common Symptoms
A cluster headache usually strikes without warning. Typical symptoms include:
-Excruciating pain, generally located in or around the eye, but which may radiate to other areas of the face, head, neck or shoulders, usually on one side of the body
-Excessive tearing, swelling around the eye and/or redness in the eye of the affected side
-Reduced pupil size and/or drooping eyelid
-Stuffy or runny nasal passage in the nostril on the affected side of the face
-Sweaty, pale skin
This type of headache is one of the most painful and is sometimes called the "alarm clock headache," because it can awaken a person in the middle of the night with intense pain in or around the eye on one side of the head.
"The pain of a cluster headache is often described as sharp, penetrating or burning," Dr. Yan said. "Some migraine-like symptoms, such as nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and aura, may occur with a cluster headache, although usually only on the affected side of the body. In contrast to migraine sufferers, those with cluster headache may avoid lying down during an attack because this position seems to increase the pain."
Cluster Periods
"A cluster headache period generally lasts from six to twelve weeks," Dr. Yan continued. "However, the approximate starting date and the duration of each headache episode may be the same from time to time. For example, cluster periods may occur seasonally, such as in the spring or fall. These cluster periods are usually followed by a pain-free time that may last as long as six to twelve months before another cluster headache develops."
During a cluster period:
-Headaches typically occur every day, sometimes several times a day.
-A single attack may last from 15 minutes to two hours.
-The attacks happen often at the same time within each 24-hour day.
-The majority of attacks occur at night, usually one to two hours after going to bed.
-The pain usually ends as suddenly as it begins, with rapidly decreasing intensity. After these attacks, most people are free from pain, but exhausted.
"The goal of treatment is to help decrease the severity of pain, shorten the headache period and prevent the attacks," Dr. Yan advised. "Because the pain of a cluster headache comes on suddenly and may subside within a short time, over-the-counter pain relievers such as aspirin or ibuprofen aren't usually effective."
Fortunately, other types of medications can help in the treatment, such as:
-Oxygen: Briefly inhaling 100 percent oxygen through a mask at a minimum rate of 7 liters a minute may provide relief that can be felt within 15 minutes.
-Triptans: The injectable form of sumatriptan (Imitrex), which is commonly used to treat migraine, may be an effective acute treatment for cluster headache. Another triptan medication, zolmitriptan (Zomig), can be taken in nasal spray or tablet form.
-Octreotide: This drug is an injectable synthetic version of the brain hormone somatostatin.
- Local anesthetics: The numbing effect of anesthetics may be effective against cluster headache pain when used intranasally.
- Dihydroergotamine: This medication derivative is available in intravenous, injectable and inhaler forms.
"Preventive medications can sometimes increase the effectiveness of acute medications, and may be used at the beginning of the cluster episode with the goal of suppressing the attacks," Dr. Yan advised. "Medications like calcium channel blockers, corticosteroids, lithium carbonate, nerve blocks, melatonin or anti-seizure drugs may be prescribed as preventative tools, based on the length and frequency of the episodes."
Other lifestyle measures can help reduce the frequency and severity of the attacks and reduce the risk of rebound headaches, such as:
- Sticking to a regular sleep schedule. Cluster periods may begin when there are changes in a person's normal sleep schedule.
- Avoid alcohol consumption, which almost always triggers a headache during a cluster period. This can happen quickly, even before finishing one drink.
"If you've just started to experience cluster headaches, check with your physician to rule out other disorders and to find the most effective treatment," Dr. Yan concluded. "Headache pain, even when severe, usually isn't the result of an underlying disease, but it may occasionally indicate a serious underlying medical condition. In addition, if you have a history of headaches, see your doctor if the pattern changes or your headaches suddenly feel different."
Seek emergency care if you have a sudden, severe headache unlike any other that you have experienced; a headache accompanied by a fever, nausea or vomiting, stiff neck, mental confusion, seizures, numbness, or speaking difficulties, which may indicate another problem, such as stroke, meningitis, encephalitis or a brain tumor; or a headache after a head injury, especially if the headache gets worse.
For more information, contact board certified neurologist Chaohua Yan, M.D., Ph.D., at The Neurology Center of Salem, Inc., 2235 East Pershing Street, next to Salem Home Medical. Appointments with Dr. Yan may be scheduled by calling 330-337-4940.


text: So we're pretty new at Rv'ing, just starting out this year with our 5th wheel. We've made a handful of trips to parks where we've done a complete setup. Our next trip will take two days to get to our destination. I'm looking for advice regarding the overnight stay during the travel. Questions are: Do I need to disconnect and setup the trailer? Is it bad to stabilize the back, put out the slides, while leaving the truck connected? Last question: Any recommendations for that overnighter on US 59 in Texas, between Houston and Texarkana? Thanks for your comments.
