by bacteria and should therefore be regarded as a noninfectious encephalopathy. When macrophages and astrocytes are exposed to endotoxins in vitro, the cells synthesize and release cytokines, among which are interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor. These cytokines are believed to stimulate and modulate the local immune response but may also affect cortical neurons. In the early stages of meningitis, there is little change in the ependyma and the subependymal tissues; but in later stages, conspicuous changes are invariably found. The most prominent nding is in ltration of the subependymal perivascular spaces and often of the adjacent brain tissue with neutrophilic leukocytes and later with lymphocytes and plasma cells. Microglia and astrocytes proliferate, the latter sometimes overgrowing and burying remnants of the ependymal lining. We believe that the bacteria pass through the ependymal lining and set up this in ammatory reaction in part because this sequence of events is favored by a developing hydrocephalus, which stretches and breaks the ependymal lining. Collections of subependymal astrocytes then begin to protrude into the ventricle, giving rise to a granular ependymitis, which, if prominent, may narrow and obstruct the aqueduct of Sylvius. The choroid plexus is at rst congested, but within a few days it becomes in ltrated with neutrophils and lymphocytes and eventually may be covered with exudate. As in the case of the meningeal exudate, lymphocytes, plasma cells, and macrophages later predominate. Eventually there is organization of the exudate covering the plexus. As any meningitis becomes more chronic, the pia-arachnoid exudate tends to accumulate around the base of the brain (basilar meningitis), obstructing the ow of CSF and giving rise to hydrocephalus. The exudate may also encircle cranial nerves and lead to focal cranial neuropathies. The reader may question this long digression into matters that are more pathologic than clinical, but only a knowledge of the morphologic features of meningitis enables one to understand the clinical state and its sequelae. The meningeal and ependymal reactions to bacterial infection and the clinical correlates of these reactions are summarized in Table 32-1, which may be consulted together with this section.

than 5 percent of the timers beat the S&P 500 Index in 1999, which was up 19.5 percent, but approximately 65 percent beat that benchmark in 2000 (S&P 10.1 percent), 45 percent beat it in 2001 (S&P 13 percent), and 80 percent beat it in 2002 (S&P 23.4 percent). The relative performance of all the timers monitored versus the benchmark was excellent considering the extended bear market. This doesn t necessarily mean that the timers actually had positive returns but that they lost less than the S&P 500. For the year ending in 2001, the Top 10 Timers Consensus as a group had a performance index of 100.4 compared to the S&P performance index of 86.96. The performance index is set at 100.0 at the beginning of each year for each timer and for the index. And timing signals assume either long or short positions in the S&P. So, for the one-year period ending in 2001, the top 10 timers performed 13 percentage points better than the benchmark. For the year ending 2002, the Top 10 Timer Digest Consensus as a group had a performance index of 126.23 compared to the S&P performance index of 76.63. So for the one-year period, the top timers performed almost 50 percentage points better than the benchmark, certainly an outstanding performance, and one of the record variances for a one-year period since Timer Digest s inception. Look at Table 12-1. Here the performance of the top timers is shown, relative to the S&P 500 benchmark at year-end 2002. Overall, the Top 10 Consensus designated as T.D. Consensus in the table beat the S&P Index in all time periods. However, only four timers exceeded the benchmark over 8 years, and only three did so over 10 years. These results are not unexpected in big bull markets. Timing does not usually beat buy-and-hold in that environment. But in bear markets, timers tend to excel, as I pointed out a few paragraphs earlier. The TD Consensus performance was more than double the benchmark for three years, and between 50 and 100 percentage points higher for the 5-, 8- and 10-year time frames. The following is a look at some of the top timers and the lists they appeared on in the year ending in 2002, as shown on Table 12-1: 1-, 3-, 5-, 8- and 10-year lists Dan Turov, Turov on Timing Mark Leibovit, VRTrader.com Jim Tillman, Cycletrend

section in an assistant manager capacity. The senior applications programmer works independently with program designs or specifications at the highest technical level, whereas the applications programmer and intermediate applications programmer usually work on only one or a few applications under general supervision. The junior applications programmer is often learning to program and works under direct supervision. More defined levels exist in applications programming because it comprises the largest number of programmers. Their numbers will continue to increase, as will their salaries.

Using eqns. (8.20 8.21), the computed azimuth and elevation angles for the satellites are shown in Table 8.4. The satellite positions relative to the user can also be conveniently displayed as in Figure 8.2. This gure plots the satellite location as [ hi , hi ] which is a vector of length cos E i . 2 1 Therefore the vector length indicates the satellite elevation with the origin being directly overhead (i.e., E i = 90 ) and the circle of radius 1.0 being the horizon (i.e., E i = 0 ).

secutive autopsies in adults, there were 5 instances of cerebellar degeneration associated with neoplasm. In the experience of Henson and Urich, about half of all patients with nonfamilial, late-onset cerebellar degeneration proved sooner or later to be harboring a neoplasm. Large series of cases have been reported from the Mayo Clinic and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (Hammock et al; Anderson et al). We see three or more cases yearly but have also encountered numerous instances of an identical syndrome with no cancer evident and no antibodies (Ropper). In approximately one-third of the cases, the underlying neoplasm has been in the lung (most often a small-cell carcinoma) a gure re ecting the high incidence of this tumor. However, the association of ovarian carcinoma and lymphoma, particularly Hodgkin disease, accounting for approximately 25 and 15 percent, respectively, is considerably higher than would be expected on the basis of the frequency of these malignancies. Carcinomas of the breast, bowel, uterus, and other viscera have accounted for most of the remaining cases (Posner). Characteristically, the cerebellar symptoms have a subacute onset and steady progression over a period of weeks to months; in more than half the cases, the cerebellar signs are recognized before those of the associated neoplasm. Symmetrical ataxia of gait and limbs affecting arms and legs more or less equally dysarthria, and nystagmus are the usual manifestations. Striking in fully developed cases has been the severity of the ataxia, matched by few other diseases. Occasionally, myoclonus and opsoclonus or a fastfrequency myoclonic tremor may be associated ( dancing eyes dancing feet, as noted below). In addition, there are quite often symptoms and signs not cerebellar in nature, notably diplopia, vertigo, Babinski signs (common in our cases), sensorineural hearing loss, disorders of ocular motility, and alteration of affect and mentation ndings that serve to distinguish paraneoplastic from alcoholic and other varieties of cerebellar degeneration. These are well emphasized in the series of 47 patients collected by Anderson
