The value of the health sector in Mexico 2008 reached $13.48 billion USD, placing it as the second most important market in Latin America.
Sector briefing Healthcare Opportunities in Mexico Why Mexico? Mexico has a complex public health agenda. It is a developing country with a substantial population living below the poverty line. The population still faces the threat of diseases, such as infections and undernourishment. At the same time, however, it is facing health challenges specific to a developed country such as cancer, obesity, cardiopathies and diabetes.

It is that time of year. The scramble for the big Christmas day is underway! You are in one of two positions this time of year: One, sildenafil case you are frantically trying to get your shopping done (or started) or two, you are struggling to get everything wrapped.
For the first, I wish you the best of luck and encourage you to check out some of my last minute sustainable gift ideas, or websites like World Vision, Uncommon Goods, and Ten Thousand Villages for unique and environmentally-friendly gifts.
For the second, I found myself in this boat and looking for some better solutions to wrap all the holiday gifts this season. According to the EPA, from Thanksgiving to New Years Day, household waste increases by more than 25% and it all adds up to an additional 1 million tons a week to our landfills (EPA and Use Less Stuff). That doesn't feel good in a season where we are trying to give better lives.

Patients at the Lehigh Valley's two major hospital networks may not realize their blood pressure, temperature and heart rate are being closely monitored for any sign of sepsis — a leading cause of death in Pennsylvania.
Officials at Lehigh Valley and St. Luke's University health networks say they vigilantly tracked sepsis even before the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services began enforcing national standards for treating sepsis to reduce death rates two years ago. Their results, however, have been mixed.
Lehigh Valley Health Network has committed more staff to each sepsis patient to speed up treatment, said Dr. Matthew McCambridge, chief quality officer.
Salisbury Township Police and the Allentown Bomb Squad were at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest on Thursday after a suspicious package was reported on the first floor of the Kasych Family Pavilion. The package was determined to be harmless.

We stayed here for our anniversary and had a great time, the staff really made it a special occasion for us. Room was small but just what we needed, my only complaint was that we did not have a tub, all the pictures on the website feature beautif soaking tub but we only had a walk in shower. We enjoyed the provided cold bottled water and mini fridge to store leftovers from all the amazing restuatrants. Our room was on bottom floor in the middle of the complex and it was very quite.
My only complaint is that the fireplace lounge area was taken over by ReddWood customers 2 out of 3 nights. The first night of our stay we loved sitting there before our dinner at Bottega enjoying a glass of wine we had purchased during the day. We were excited to do that again on the next night but the area was monopolozed by ReddWood customers, who sat there and had a full meal, they took up the entire space( and they were not hotel guests,- I asked.) One night the same people where there for 3+ hours. We enjoyed having Reddwood so close but when you pay so much for hotel youexpect the seating areas to be private, especially at such a small boutique hotel where there was only one lounge area with couches. Otherwise it was fantastic.

TSLA Stock: Tesla Motors Inc's Bold Strategy To Drive The Stock Higher
- Tesla Motors Inc posted a surprise $22 million profit in the third quarter, beating analyst expectations by a wide margin.
- The company announced record delivery and production numbers of its top of the line electric cars.
- More importantly, Tesla's future strategy is likely to ensure that this is not a one-off success.
Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) posted its second profitable quarter ever and beat analyst expectations for the third quarter by a wide margin. Tesla cited new product launches, increased store efficiency, and new store openings as driving factors for the positive third-quarter results, adding that the recent improvements to its self-driving hardware, position it for additional market share gains. Here's why Tesla looks set for a good run.
"The Tesla third quarter results reflect strong company-wide execution in many areas," reads the Tesla Third Quarter 2016 Update. "Furthermore, we expect this to continue into Q4 and project positive GAAP [Generally Accepted Accounting Principles] net income (excluding non-cash stock-based compensation) despite ZEV [Zero Emission Vehicle] credit sales in Q4 likely being negligible. We set new records for vehicle production, deliveries and revenue, which led to GAAP profitability and positive free cash flow (cash flows from operations less capital expenditures). At the same time, GAAP total automotive gross margin and gross profit per car increased substantially."
In an announcement earlier this month, which exceeded the expectations of industry analysts, Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed that all new Tesla cars will be equipped with new "Hardware 2" and new software, gradually introduced over time, which will eventually enable the cars to drive themselves, Amigobulls reported. The company plans to self-drive a fully autonomous car from Los Angeles to New York in a demonstration by the end of next year, and deliver self-driving cars to consumers ahead of the competition.

Tesla is pivoting towards the clean energy sector, where it's trying to establish a leadership position in power storage and distribution networks, without abandoning the automotive sector. In fact, the company is advancing incrementally, step-by-step, towards fully autonomous cars, expected to be the next big thing.
But the current earnings come from Tesla's traditional product line: top class electric cars. The company announced record delivery and production numbers, beating the second-quarter delivery and production numbers by 70 percent and 37 percent respectively, and it predicts 50,000 new vehicle deliveries for the rest of the year, with a fourth-quarter plan of just over 25,000 deliveries. In the third quarter, Model S and Model X orders were up 68 percent from last year's third quarter. Tesla produced 25,185 vehicles in the third quarter, 37 percent up from the second quarter, and 92 percent up from last year's third quarter.
The new business and product lines that Tesla is envisaging - self-driving cars and clean energy storage - have not had the time to contribute to the company's earnings. If anything, the new Tesla ventures still carry a loss, as it's usually the case for new ambitious initiatives. But Tesla is re-affirming its commitment to the new initiatives, because that's where the future profits will come from.

Tesla notes that it is providing the largest lithium-ion battery storage facility in the world to Southern California Edison, recently covered by Amigobulls, with an impressive delivery time of less than four months, enabled by the fast production capacity of the Tesla Gigafactory.
"Our energy storage products are gaining increased market acceptance, firmly establishing Tesla as a leader in energy storage solutions, and surpassing our competitors in the breadth and scope of our offerings across residential, commercial, and utility-scale storage markets," claims Tesla. "At the same time, we continue to lay the foundation for future growth. [Our] efforts to transform the solar industry will be demonstrated at our joint product introduction with SolarCity on October 28th."
At the event, Tesla CEO Elon Musk outlined his vision for how the merger of the two companies - Tesla and SolarCity - would result in an integrated system of solar panels, wall-mounted batteries and electric cars. "People always think of Tesla as an electric-car company, but really the whole point of Tesla was to accelerate the advent of sustainable energy," said Musk, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. Musk's goal is "to make solar roofs that look better than a normal roof, generate electricity, last longer, have better insulation and an installation cost that is less than a normal roof plus the cost of electricity."
"With the previously announced plan to acquire SolarCity, we look forward to making solar as compelling as electric vehicles," notes Tesla. "Acquiring SolarCity would leverage Tesla's existing investments in the Gigafactory and the next-generation Powerwall and Powerpack to drive revenue growth."
The last quarterly results show that Tesla is taking good care of its current business, and producing shareholder value. Investors should trust Musk's and Tesla's management abilities to successfully build the company's future business as well.

Comments on this article and TSLA stock
Today there was talk of a rate hike do you know the razor fine returns that Solar City works on in its lease scheme. Even in their "systems sales" approach financing cost are already tough to justify as even after ITC and MACRS ( depreciation ) they are often not more cost effective than local residential solar. A rate increase will have a significant effect on the cost of solar because of the large upfront cost you have to finance over 20 years. With tiles that upfront cost goes up not just due to the more expensive less efficient tile. The real problem is installed cost. Boots on roofs is the killer of residential solar economics.
Panel efficiency is only one factor – you need to know the installed cost and the system output this is the math that tells the value of a system to a consumer. Is the cost less than the cost of local energy rates. You cannot deliver this new system for 11c pr Watt. I am willing to bet you can't deliver it for 15c maybe not even 17c a watt. Not only are panels still not efficient but as previously noted the second biggest cost factor in solar is installation. You may recall a company called Akena ( the early leader in Solar ) first public Solar company. It claimed price reductions and therefore greater value because of the efficient racking system they developed to speed up installs and thereby reduce cost. They went bankrupt. Panels are just now getting cheaper to install. Tiles are very expensive to install. You are not just nailing a clay tile down. These tiles and what we call the BOS and Installed cost further make the value proposition invalid – not just now or next year but for years to come. Then you have to add to this the fact that most homes are not designed to have roofs that face the sun in the optimal manner. While Panels can be set to a tilt and orientation that works ( this often makes them less attractive) you lose further production by simply following the roof natural tilt and orientation. Installers disqualify a lot of homes to orientation and shading issue. In short anyone who knows anything about consumer solar knows that while Musk does a great job selling the dream - for those who invest in this stuff you need to know look at the economics of solar – they are not good - if not for Musk SC would have been BK like all other installers. If you take all these factors into account on your own home - call get a quote and look at the install cost and the output the economics you will see in California they are marginal with panels - wont work with tiles for a very long time and now for the rest of the nation with less radiation it gets much worse. But I fear you believe anything Musk says.
Musk needs cash now to achieve his plans. He is a visionary. However, it is clear he is not afraid to sell his future today – not matter how flawed to secure his future vision. For investor this is more likely to end like DeLorean than Amazon. You must remember Amazon had the benefit of economies of scale – they don't exist in solar particularly residential solar. More importantly Amazon never competed against an essential commodity price – the price of electricity. Technology usually reduces cost. With solar and in Musk's world technology never offers any cost savings. It is implied but in fact never delivered – it all requires subsidies to save the consumer money. In short Musk is arguing consumers should pay a higher price for the energy his technology produces because it is cool and green.
Finally the biggest joke is the number of fronts he fights on at any given moment. Wow what happened to the analyst concerns about a lack of focus. Look closely at the storage industry. That is a whole different game. The amount of people going into storage is amazing. China is making the same commitment to storage it made to solar panels and look what they did to those prices. Samsung, GE and a host of well-funded companies are going into the space. Storage in electricity will be like storage in tech – a commodity and you don't want to bet on any one technology. Yet he is building a massive plant built on technology that is already old.
Musk is one of the great icons of our time – but to those who work in the industries he is trying to lead – it is clear he is misleading people. Few call him on it because most in the professional realm don't have the public persona he does. But just think for a moment. BMW – Mercedes, Toyota not to mention Ford and GM are all going to defend their markets and they have cash – R&D budgets and retail networks. Tesla will spend a decade financing and building their service and dealer network before they will be profitable. Tesla now says they are going to beat all the leading auto companies, panel manufactures and those large industrial players going into storage. The panel manufactures are already going broke because it is a race to the bottom. But don't think for a moment Sunpower, GE, GAF and a whole host Chinese companies are not ready to do this when the market makes sense. The truth is the installed price of tiles does not pencil out.
If you want to get into the real details you should. When you see $230 average expected share price – even $188 from Goldman you have to ask on what math. Based on a proto type of a product that 3M, Dow and GE all have developed. What sales expectations and most importantly in what competitive environment. This guy is going in 4 directions at once – losing money and in need of future cash. Not one of the companies he challenges is a push over – most have the cheapest cost of cash, they each have big brands and big brains and they are happy to let what they probably see as a useful idiot take all the arrows in the back and define the path they can later pick up and profit from.
Think about what Samsung did to Texas Instruments with DRAM.
I like Elon Musk as an Icon. But I would short his companies if I thought analyst could realize the numbers. Now I am happy to hear from anyone who knows the economics of solar. We have financed solar for over a decade - but if you are going to respond by repeating Musk on batting averages - recall he has missed more Qs than he has made and it is easy to build things with subsidies - the real world his competitors do it without a safety net and those are the people he has to beat.

Professor Selo Ndlovu is an Associate Professor at the School of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering at Wits University and President Elect of the SAIMM. She holds a DST/NRF-funded research chair (SARChI) in Hydrometallurgy and Sustainable Development. She presents hydrometallurgy courses to chemical and metallurgical engineering students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and also supervises Master's and Doctoral research students. I recently sat down with her for a chat about her career, students, and the SAIMM. This was shortly after the successful Hydrometallurgy Conference, for which she was the chairperson of the organizing committee. We spoke about her choice of metallurgy as a career, the importance of postgraduate studies, women in engineering, as well as the importance of organizations such as SAIMM.
IT: What sparked your interest in metallurgical engineering while in high school?
Prof. SN: When I was a student I was drawn to mathematics, physics, and chemistry, specifically inorganic chemistry. Further to that, we were taught about the processing of different materials to make products. We were taught about the Bayer process for the production of alumina, the Haber process for ammonia production, the production of sulphuric acid etc. I found all that fascinating. I wanted to know how I could apply such knowledge, and what the impact would be in the community and industry.
In my final year of high school we had a career fair. We had university and industry people coming to tell us about metallurgy – that metallurgy is related to mining, and that almost everything around us has passed through some metallurgical process. When I saw how the chemical and physical characteristic of metals can be manipulated in order to extract metals from ores and move from a solid rock to a solid metal and started connecting it to all that I had learnt in high school, I was captivated; I felt this was where I wanted to be.

The age you retire in Australia isn't set in stone. You can really retire whenever you want to, but health, financial commitments and your ability to fund the lifestyle you want will play a big part.
For this reason, you may want to consider the age you'll be able to access your superannuation and potentially the government's Age Pension, which typically won't be at the same time.
When can I access my super?
Generally you can access your super when1:
- You reach preservation age and you retire
- You reach preservation age and implement a transition to retirement strategy
- You turn 65, whether you remain in the workforce or not.
What is my preservation age?
Your preservation age is the age at which you can start to access your super. It will be between 55 and 60 depending on when you were born. Check out the table below to see what your preservation age2 is.
|Date of birth
|Preservation age
|Before 1 July 1960
|1 July 1960 – 30 June 1961
|1 July 1961 – 30 June 1962
|1 July 1962 – 30 June 1963
|1 July 1963 – 30 June 1964
|From 1 July 1964
When you reach preservation age, you have a few options.
If you decide to retire, you can either take your super as a lump sum or use your super to set up an account-based pension (or allocated pension). An allocated pension provides you with a regular income stream in retirement and you're not limited to how much you can withdraw.
Alternatively, when you reach your preservation age, you can access a portion of your super under a transition to retirement strategy. This will allow you to access up to 10% of your super through periodic payments while continuing to work full time, part-time or casually.
What about the Age Pension?
Currently, to be eligible for the Age Pension you must be 65 or older3.
However, with changes currently afoot, the qualifying age will increase to 65 and 6 months from 1 July 2017. It will then increase by 6 months every two years until 1 July 2023 when it will then be age 67. You can check out your Age Pension eligibility age below.4
|Date of birth
|Age Pension eligibility age
|Before 1 July 1952
|1 July 1952 - 31 December 1953
|65 years and 6 months
|1 January 1954 - 30 June 1955
|66 years
|1 July 1955 - 31 December 1956
|66 years and 6 months
|From 1 January 1957
|67 years
One of the reasons for the increase in the Age Pension age is Australia's ageing population. The government's 2015 Intergenerational Report projects that in 2054-55 there will be more than double the number of people aged 65 or over in comparison to today, which will create much greater fiscal pressure.5
It's important to remember that what you do, and at what time you do it, could have tax implications and may impact social security entitlements. For that reason it's good to do your research and explore your alternatives with a professional. We can help you find an adviser if you don't already have one.

The concept of "All work and no play" can be traced as far back as the ancient Egyptians who saw the need for leisure and recreation activities and understood how these activities made more productive workers.
IDEA 2004 describes transition services as a coordinated set of activities for a child with a disability that "is designed to be a results-oriented process, that is focused on improving the academic and functional achievement of the child with a disability to facilitate the child's movement from school to post-school activities, including post-secondary education, vocational education, integrated employment (including supported employment), continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living, or community participation".
Independent Living and community participation would and should include planning for leisure/recreation activities.
The phrase "quality of life" is often used to describe goals for students with disabilities after they exit a secondary/postsecondary program, but what does it really mean? In most instances, it refers to not only the physical aspect of life, but to the intangible aspect of having a good time, experiencing fun things, and maintaining a positive outlook on life. Planning for a "good quality of life," especially for students with more significant disabilities needs to include the area of leisure and recreation.
Kleinert, Miracle, & Shepard-Jones (2007) gave the following ideas for including high school students in extracurricular school and community activities:
There are several strategies that can be used to encourage student participation in school and community activities which include:
Public legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and the Rehabilitation Act of 1992 provide information to various stakeholders on how to support persons with disabilities. These laws reflect the principle that people with disabilities are entitled to the same opportunities as their peers without disabilities. These opportunities include the right to enjoy work, recreation and leisure and other "quality of life" experiences available in our society.
Let the Fun Begin!
A curriculum for training volunteers or staff to support children with special health care needs and disabilities in community recreation. Topics include adaptive recreation, behavior management, disability etiquette, professional conduct, and universal precautions.
Local Parks and Recreation Departments
Most city and county Parks and Recreation Departments offer programs for persons with special needs. For example, the Parks and Recreation Department for Broward County offers the following:
To find out what is offered in your area, contact your city or county Parks and Recreation Department.
Best Buddies
The mission of Best Buddies is to enhance the lives of people with intellectual disabilities by providing opportunities for one-to-one friendships and integrated employment. People with intellectual disabilities are often excluded from society because of their differences. Best Buddies is determined to end the social isolation of people with intellectual disabilities by establishing meaningful lasting one-to-one friendships with their peers without intellectual disabilities. These friendships help increase self-esteem, confidence and the abilities of people with and without intellectual disabilities.
Best Buddies envisions a world where people with intellectual disabilities are so successfully integrated into our schools, our workplaces, and our general communities that our current efforts and services will be unnecessary. Until that vision becomes a reality, we will continue to educate students, community members, corporations and employers about emotional, functional and natural needs and abilities of people with intellectual disabilities. By 2010, Best Buddies will continue to build on its successful volunteer base in all 50 states, further expand its accredited international program to 50 countries and annually engage more than 500,000 people worldwide.
Special Olympics
Through year-round sports training and competition, Special Olympics empowers individuals with intellectual disabilities in more than 180 countries. Special Olympics often is the only place where they have an opportunity to participate in their communities and develop belief in themselves. Many live lives of neglect and isolation, hidden away or socially excluded from full participation in schools or society. Transforming the athlete, Special Olympics sports are a gateway to empowerment, competence, acceptance and joy.
Florida Disabled Outdoor Association
Florida Disabled Outdoors Association enriches lives through accessible inclusive recreation and active leisure for all. Its long range objectives are:
Little League Baseball – Challenger Division
The Challenger Division was established in 1989 as a separate division of Little League Baseball to enable boys and girls with physical and mental disabilities, ages 5-18 or the completion of high school, to enjoy the game of baseball along with the millions of other children who participate in this sport worldwide. Teams are set up according to abilities, rather than age, and can include as many as 15-20 players, who can participate in one of three levels: Tee-Ball, Coach-Pitch or Player Pitch.
Each player gets a chance at bat. The side is retired when the offense has batted through the roster, or when a pre-determined number of runs has been scored, or when three outs are recorded. Little League recommends that no score be kept during games. The Challenger players wear the same uniforms, shoulder patches and safety equipment as other Little League players.
The registration fee for the Challenger Division is $16.00 per team (same as for all other divisions of Little League). Accident insurance is set at the same low cost as other Little League divisions and is available through Little League Headquarters in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
One of the benefits of having a Challenger Division is that it encourages the use of "buddies" for the Challenger players. The buddies assist the Challenger players on the field but whenever possible, encourage the players to bat and make plays themselves. However, the buddy is always nearby to help when needed.
The nation's 2,686 YMCAs respond to critical social needs by drawing on its collective strength as of one of the largest not-for-profit community service organizations in the United States. Today's YMCAs serve thousands of U.S. communities, uniting 21 million children and adults of all ages, races, faiths, backgrounds, abilities and income levels. Its reach and impact can be seen in the millions of lives touched every year. Across the nation, YMCAs are committed to helping:
At every stage of life, YMCAs are there to help children, families and individuals reach their full potential.
Florida State Parks
The Division of Recreation and Parks will ensure, to the greatest extent feasible, that all people, including persons with disabilities, receive the same program and activity opportunities. The Division of Recreation and Parks will take all reasonable steps to ensure effective communication with individuals having hearing and vision impairment or loss by providing appropriate auxiliary aids or alternate formats, in order to afford them the opportunity to participate in and enjoy the benefits of programs and activities. The Division of Recreation and Parks , however, is not required to take any actions or provide access that would result in a fundamental alteration to the nature of a program or activity.
Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International
(Formerly the North American Riding for Handicapped Association)
PATH International's mission is to "change and enrich lives by promoting excellence in equine assisted activities." To accomplish this mission, it fosters safe, professional, ethical and therapeutic equine activities through education, communication, research and standards. The association ensures its standards are met through an accreditation process for centers and a certification process for instructors.
The Equine Facilitated Mental Health Association (EFMHA), founded in 1996, is a member of PATH International and provides equine-facilitated psychotherapy (EFP) for people with psychological issues and mental health needs, including anxiety, depression, and autism. EFP is facilitated by a licensed, credentialed mental health professional who works with an appropriately credentialed equine professional, or is dually credentialed as an equine professional.

Clinico-pathogenetic findings and management of chondrodystrophic myotonia (Schwartz-Jampel syndrome): a case report
Chondrodystrophic myotonia or Schwartz-Jampel syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by myotonia and skeletal dysplasia. It may be progressive in nature. Recently, the gene responsible for Schwartz-Jampel syndrome has been found and the defective protein it encodes leads to abnormal cartilage development and anomalous neuromuscular activity.
Case Presentation
We report the clinical findings and the management of an 8-year-old boy with this disorder. The molecular findings confirm that the patient is a compound heterozygote with a different splicing mutation in each
We discuss the multi-disciplinary management of Schwartz-Jampel syndrome that will facilitate optimal care and timely intervention of patients with this disorder.
In 1962, Oscar Schwartz and Robert Jampel jointly described a rare autosomal recessive disorder in a pair of siblings. The children had short stature, myotonia with paucity of facial expression, blepharophimosis, pectus carinatum, and contractures.
We report the case of an 8-year-old boy with SJS associated with
Case Presentation
An 8-year-old Caucasian boy presented with distinctive facial features, mild generalized muscle weakness and muscle stiffness. He was born to healthy, non-consanguineous parents. He started walking at the age of 16–18 months. His mother expressed concern about the unusual positioning of his legs and feet. At the age of 3 years, the patient was noted to have distinctive facies and skeletal abnormalities, which became increasingly apparent and progressive with time. There was no family history of neuromuscular disorders or skeletal dysplasias.
Because his main complaint was generalized muscle stiffness, he was prescribed carbamazepine 600 mg in the morning and 700 mg in the evening. Having a warm bath twice a day also help in alleviating his stiffness. Gradually, he experienced mild muscle weakness in his lower extremities resulting in inability to get up from the floor. He expressed difficulty in climbing stairs and running. One positive aspect was that his frequency of falls had reduced.
Physical examination revealed a boy with unusual facies and stiffness. His height was 122 cm (15th percentile), weight 25.3 kg (50th), and head circumference 54.3 cm (90th). He was normotensive. His distinctive facial features included blepharophimosis, low set ears with folded helices, a fixed facial expression due to tonic contraction of the facial muscles, pursed lips caused by contraction of the perioral muscles, and micrognathia (figure

The patient has blepharophimosis, pursed lips, low-set ears, and stiffness of facial expression
The patient has blepharophimosis, pursed lips, low-set ears, and stiffness of facial expression. Note the bowing of the tibiae, valgus deformities of the ankles, and pes planus. Also note the muscle hypertrophy and mild chest deformity.
The patient had kyphosis of his cervical spine, pes planus of his feet, and valgus deformities of his ankles. Also noted was a tendon contracture of his left Achilles heel. He had diffuse muscular hypertrophy and stiffness but generalized myotonia was not evident. Strength testing revealed grade 5 muscle power (normal) throughout. Reflexes were difficult to elicit, especially in the lower extremities. He had a crouching stance and a stiff gait. When he walked, he would circumduct his right leg. Examination of his genitalia revealed small testes. His mental development was mildly delayed.
Skeletal survey showed kyphoscoliosis, bowing of long bones and abnormal capital femoral epiphyses. His blood differential and chemistry were normal, with the exception of creatine kinase, which was elevated at 896 I/U. The electromyogram showed occasional myotonic discharges. The muscle biopsy was unremarkable. The clinical diagnosis was SJS and the molecular analysis confirmed compound heterozygozity with different splice-site mutations in the two

Immunostaining of perlecan with domain-specific anti-perlecan antibodies in muscle tissues from patient and from an unaffected control subject. Staining in muscle tissue of patient is significantly reduced.
The patient was placed on carbamazepine (Tegretol XR) 600 mg manè and 700 mg noctè for muscle stiffness and referred for physical therapy. His generalized muscle stiffness showed symptomatic alleviation with carbamazepine treatment. His family was cautioned regarding life-threatening complications that may arise during anesthesia. Apart from neuromuscular assessments, he was also managed by routine evaluations in the orthopedic, ophthalmologic, and pediatric clinics.
Chondrodystrophic myotonia or Schwartz-Jampel syndrome (SJS) is a rare skeletal dysplasia often associated with clinical or electrophysiologic signs of myotonia. It may be progressive in nature. To date, there had been several reports on Middle Eastern families and South African kindreds, the prevalence of which may be accounted for by parental consanguinity in these regions.
There is considerable clinical heterogeneity in the SJS phenotype. Giedion et al. (1997) proposed a useful clinico-radiological classification, characterizing the SJS phenotype into type 1A, which is associated with moderate bone dysplasia and is cognizant in childhood; type IB, which shows more severe bone dysplasia and is recognizable at birth; and type 2, which has marked bowing of long bones and is manifested at birth. While types 1A and 1B are caused by mutations in
Creatine kinase and other muscle enzymes may be mildly or moderately elevated.
Muscle contraction is initiated at sites of nerve-muscle contact or neuromuscular junctions. Acetylcholinesterase degradates the neurotransmitter acetylcholine by hydrolyzing it at the synapse, thereby terminating neurotransmission. Peng et al. (1999) demonstrated that perlecan
In our patient, the diminished amounts of normal perlecan found may result in reduced clustering of acetylcholinesterase at the neuromuscular junction. This culminates in a lower inhibition and therefore a higher concentration of acetylcholine, enhancing neuro-excitatory activity and probably generating myotonic discharges.
Currently, treatment for patients with SJS is primarily symptomatic, aimed at alleviating symptoms and preventing or managing complications. The management of contractures, bony deformities, and ambulatory issues will call for physical therapy, occupational therapy, orthopedic assessment and surgery.
Individuals with SJS should be cautioned regarding life-threatening complications that may arise during anesthesia. Micrognathia and jaw muscle rigidity may pose mechanical difficulties during intubation. Higher doses of muscle relaxants such as rocuronium may be required to facilitate tracheal intubation, probably because of the lowered degradation rate of acetylcholine.

|Descendant node query and shareable nodes
|Fri, 10 Dec 2010 10:00:31 GMT
Hello, I'm facing a problem when trying to query shared nodes using the ISDESCENDANTNODE operator. Let's consider this tree : /A/B/X X being a shareable node. Considering this other tree : /E/F If I clone the X node under F (resulting in /E/F/X) and run a query such as : select * from [type of X] as x where isdescendantnode(x, [/A]) Then I get X. But if I run this other query : select * from [type of X] as x where isdescendantnode(x, [/E]) Then I don't get any result. It looks like Jackrabbit considers that X is only a descendant of A, not of E. JBoss ModeShape has the same behaviour. So, is it the expected behaviour that a shared node is considered a descendant only of its first parent, or is that a bug ? Thanks, Edouard

The Downing of Flight 655; A Tale of 2 American Skippers, Damned if They Do and if They Don't
By RICHARD HALLORAN, Special to the New York Times
Published: July 6, 1988
WASHINGTON, July 5— Capt. Glenn R. Brindel of the United States Navy frigate Stark and Capt. Will C. Rogers 3d of the cruiser Vincennes appear to have much in common.
From their service records, each skipper is an experienced sailor and seems to be a prudent commander. From the evidence, each made the best decision he could in a crisis, relying as much on his own judgment of the situation around him as on what the electronic sensors told him. Each of their decisions led to disaster in the Persian Gulf.
But one man was slow to respond to an approaching plane that was deemed not to be hostile and suffered an attack in which 37 sailors on his ship died. The other attacked an approaching plane considered hostile and killed 290 civilians.
Taken together, their two episodes illustrate the ambiguous position in which American warship captains in the gulf have been placed. For them, every day presents dilemmas, in which they can win only when nothing happens. When things go wrong, the captains are often placed in a no-win situation.
In May 1987, Captain Brindel's crew aboard the Stark tracked an Iraqi fighter for 200 miles, identified it, and tried to warn it away as the jet locked its targeting radar onto the ship. But the fighter kept coming and, at a range of about 10 miles, fired two missiles. Captain Brindel waited too long to respond: his ship was hit and nearly sunk.
Last Sunday, Captain Rogers's Vincennes tracked an aircraft seen coming from Iran, mistakenly identified it as a hostile fighter, tried to warn it away, and finally shot it down with missiles. He had less than seven minutes to make the decision.
An immediate reaction, one heard worldwide Sunday, was to compare the disaster with the episode in 1983 when a Soviet fighter plane shot down a Korean Air Lines passenger plane over the Sea of Japan, killing 269 passengers and crew members.
But the more appropriate comparison may be between the Stark and the Vincennes. Taken together, those two incidents illuminate how the fog of war - or perhaps the haze of operating in a twilight that is neither peace nor war - leads careful captains to make mistakes.
For both commanders made decisions based on their states of mind and the information in front of them, rather than relying solely on what the electronic sensors told them. From all accounts, they decided from the big picture as they saw it, however hazy it might have been.
In Captain Brindel's case, the instruments told him the truth, but he chose to disregard it. Iraqi planes had not attacked American naval vessels before, though they had flown the same pattern seen on radar when attacking merchant ships earlier.
As Rear Adm. Harold J. Bernsen, then the commander of the Middle East task force, said after the event: ''The crew of the Stark did not believe they were in any danger. I do not think they had any fear that they were under fire.''
In contrast, Captain Rogers's electronic sensors misled him but, like Captain Brindel, he chose to believe them because this meshed with his experience and other information at the time. He had just finished a shooting match with Iranian gunboats, sinking two and sending a third running with damage.
Moreover, Iran was a hostile nation that had attacked American ships before. Intelligence had shown Iranian F-14's operating in the area. Other intelligence, which Pentagon officials said they considered valid, held that Iran would try something over the July 4th weekend. The Shadow of the Stark
Then there was the shadow of the Stark and the new rules of engagement, revised after the Stark was hit, to allow captains to tighten their fingers on the trigger.
Thus, Adm. William J. Crowe Jr, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Sunday: ''It is our judgment that, based on the information currently available, the local commanders had sufficient reasons to believe that their units were in jeopardy and they fired in self-defense.''
Among the striking disclosures in the investigation that followed the Stark episode was that the ship's officers had not heeded warnings from enlisted men operating the radar and tracking the approaching Iraqi fighter. At least twice, an enlisted man with specialist rating urged his officers to respond to the Iraqi jet with more than warnings.
In contrast, the evidence from the Vincennes so far suggests that enlisted men picked up the track of the Iranian airliner as it lifted off from the joint civilian-military air base at Bandar Abbas and immediately alerted their officers. Their officers reacted with alacrity.
The Stark, an older frigate with less capable radar and weapons, was patrolling at night in the relatively open waters of the central gulf. The Vincennes, a cruiser that is among the newest ships in the Navy, with the world's most advanced radar and fire-control computers, was engaged in a daytime battle in the tight waters of the Strait of Hormuz at the southern end of the gulf.
The captain of the Stark had a much longer time, more than 20 minutes, to watch the Iraqi aircraft than did the captain of Vincennes for the Iranian plane. But the warnings sent by both ships to the onrushing planes were the same - that they were approaching an American warship and thus were placing themselves in jeopardy.

Food goes bad and rots with time. In a zombie apocalypse, the electric grid can no longer be counted on to keep the refrigerators running. Add in the difficulties of providing food when civilization breaks down, the ability to make any available food last longer will be of great importance. Over the course of human history, a great deal of ways to preserve food have been invented.
Using the sun or other heat sources to remove water from food. This slow downs bacteria growth which prevents decay. This method is popular on many fruits, fish and meat. Dried meat is also often salted (see below). This method has the advantage of being easy and requiring little resources. An obvious disadavantage is that the food has less water to satisfy thirst. A way to counter that is to dig a hole in hot sand, keep the food there with a bucket in the middle, and seal the hole with waterproof cloth which slopes towards the bucket. It will cause all the water which dries from the food to gather in the bucket. This will provide some water, but this way is not the most effective drying method and you will proabably need to finish drying with other methods.
Salting Edit
A way to extend the shelf life of dried meat and fish even further. The food is often smoked alongside this, meaning it is put under a fire, usually fuelled by wood or dried animal dung, and the smoke surronds the food, which improves both ending time and taste.
One of the most popular food preservation methods of the modern day, canning involves cooking food, sealing it in sterile cans, and then boiling the cans. Canned food should be one of the primary targets when scavenging. However, trying to can your own food can be dangerous if not done properly, as dangerous bacteria, such as the deadly botulinium-bacteria, can grow there.
The most commonly used food preservation method of the modern world. However, refrigirators and freezers require a lot of electricity, which is hard to come by in an apocalyptic world.
