The Sabres' lineup for tonight's game against Boston will be a game-time decision but interim coach Ted Nolan said this morning that Tyler Ennis won't play. Stand down, trade rumor mongers: Ennis took a hard hit into the boards in the third period last night and Nolan said he's day to day with "general body soreness".
Ennis is Buffalo's second-leading scorer with 30 points (14-16) and has seven points in the last seven games. He scored a go-ahead goal in the third period last night against Carolina, making a headlong dive to puck the poke through the crease past Carolina's Cam Ward. Only a few players skated this morning and the lines won't be formed until warmups but the scuttlebutt is that Ville Leino will get the first chance to go between Matt Moulson and Drew Stafford.
Henrik Tallinder will go back in on defense after sitting out last night's win following his return from Sochi. John Scott, who played on defense last night with Jamie McBain, could sit tonight or move up to forward. As Nolan planned over the weekend, Jhonas Enroth will be in goal against Boston's Chad Johnson in a battle of backups.
Center Zenon Konopka confirmed this morning he had surgery on his left pinkie over the Olympic hiatus after breaking the finger in October while playing for Minnesota. Konopka said he's going to play tonight although Nolan did not confirm his spot in the lineup.
"You love to get back in there," said Konopka, who has one assist in 13 games with the Sabres. "You love to play hockey so it's going to be exciting. It's always a good rivalry with Boston so it will be fun."
TSN floated Konopka's name yesterday as a possible trade acquisition for a team looking for a veteran to help with faceoffs. Konopka said simply it's that time of year.
"The older you get, the more you realize you can't control it so why worry about it?" he said. "Everything happens for a reason. It's an adventure. I've been outspoken growing up right around Buffalo (in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont.). I love it here. I want to be here long term. But I understand it's a business and there will be guys moved at the deadline. What's meant to be is meant to be."
The Sabres will have to play a much better game tonight in front of Enroth than they did last night against Ryan Miller. Nolan expected them to be moving well and it didn't work out that way as Carolina had a 38-18 advantage in shots.
"I was a little bit surprised but this year a lot of things don't surprise me," Nolan said. "We weren't up to par, it took us a little while to get our game going but we got it going enough to get that win.
"You look at the first games of the regular season and they're a little bit rusty and shaky. It takes a little while no matter how much preparation and practice you do. There's nothing like game time. I thought both teams were a little bit shaky at points but it's going to get better."

DETROIT -- So here it is. The Yankees go into a pivotal Game Three tonight in Comerica Park and Alex Rodriguez and Nick Swisher are on the bench. And deservedly so. Wow.
Joe Girardi certainly followed along with voters in our poll from earlier today. Brett Gardner leads off and will make his first at-bats since April.
The lineup:
Gardner 7
Ichiro 9
Teixeira 3
Cano 4
Ibanez DH
Martin 2
Chavez 5
Granderson 8
Nunez 6
A left side of Chavez-Nunez with ARod out and Derek Jeter hurt. Crazy.
6:30 p.m update: Girardi on the moves -- ""You would think with the resumes these guys have and the type of play they've put up during the course of the season that you would have a pretty set lineup."
Girardi said he considered keeping A-Rod in against Justin Verlander but his brutal showing this month against right-handers (0-18, 12Ks) was the deciding factor. Gardner took at-bats yesterday in a simulated game in Yankee Stadium and is needed in the vast outfield here with Phil Hughes, a flyball pitcher, on the mound. He said A-Rod is out for performance, not because of the NY Post report he tried to get a female fan's phone number during Game One.
Said Girardi: ""When you have one or two guys struggling in a lineup, you're probably still scoring some runs so it doesn't become as noticeable and you're not talking about it as much and you may not be making some changes. When you have a lot of guys struggling and you're not scoring runs, it's something we're going to talk about."

Booting Linux from a USB Memory Stick
Linux on a Stick
Everyone knows you can boot Linux from a live CD,but have you thought about putting Linux on a compact and highly portable USB memory stick?
Abootable "live" CD like Knoppix [1] or Kanotix [2] gives the user a fully portable operating environment. You can carry your system with you and boot it from anywhere. Your tools, your files, and your workspace will follow you wherever you go – even to another PC with a different operating system. Live CDs are also used by system administrators for troubleshooting computers that won't boot normally. What could be more portable than a live Linux CD? What about a live Linux USB memory stick? A tiny USB memory stick is even more portable, and often more durable, than a CD, and writing to USB memory is typically smoother and faster than the business of "burning" data to a CD.

This site is one of several Superfund hazardous waste sites in Colorado. A site qualifies for the National Priorities List (NPL or Superfund list) when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determines there is a release or threatened release of hazardous substances that may endanger public health, welfare or the environment. In Colorado, the lead agency for Superfund remediation may be either the EPA or the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The EPA has the lead on the Lowry Landfill Superfund Site (the Site).
The Lowry Landfill is located immediately northeast of the intersection of Quincy Avenue and Gun Club Road in Aurora, Colorado, in Arapahoe County, approximately 15 miles southeast of downtown Denver. The Site consists of approximately 480 acres, where an estimated 138 million gallons of liquid industrial waste were disposed. The Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site (DADS), an operating municipal solid waste landfill northeast of the intersection of Gun Club Road and East Hampden Avenue, forms the northern boundary of the Site.
Landfill History
Lowry Landfill is owned and operated by the City and County of Denver. From 1965 to 1980, liquid industrial wastes were co-disposed of with solid industrial and municipal wastes in approximately 78 unlined pits over approximately 200 acres of the 480-acre site. From 1980 through 1990, Waste Management of Colorado, Inc. continued municipal solid waste disposal for Denver. By the late 1980s, ten million tires had accumulated on site.
History of Containment Activities
The site was placed on the National Priorities List in September 1984. The US Environmental Protection Agency conducted the Phase I Remedial Investigation from late-1984 to mid-1986. The investigation found contamination in groundwater, surface water, soils and sediments. The primary contaminants of concern are volatile organic compounds. To address contamination in each of the areas of concern, EPA divided the site into six operable units (OUs):
OU 1: Shallow Groundwater and Subsurface Liquids
In 1984, Denver constructed an underground barrier wall (North Boundary Barrier Wall) and water treatment system (Old Water Treatment Plant) at the landfill to collect the shallow groundwater and remove organic chemicals. From 1985 through 2000, shallow groundwater collected from the North Boundary Barrier Wall was treated with a combination of air stripping and carbon adsorption. The treated water was returned to the groundwater system in an infiltration trench located north of the North Boundary Barrier Wall. From 1989 to 1991, 120 million pounds of tires (10 million tires) at the site were shredded and placed in an onsite monofill, for later reuse. Subsequently, these tire chips were shipped offsite to a cement kiln for energy recovery purposes.
Record of Decision (ROD)
The liquid industrial wastes at the site include sewage sludge, metal plating wastes, petroleum-derived products, pesticides and industrial solvents. Small amounts of radioactive materials have also been detected in the waste pits, sediments, groundwater and soils. This is likely due to a combination of naturally-occurring radionuclides, along with hospital wastes and other household or commercially-related low-level radioactive materials historically disposed in the landfill (e.g., lantern mantles and smoke detectors). More than 50 chemicals of concern have been identified through the risk assessment process. These include, but are not limited to, volatile organic compounds (e.g., vinyl chloride, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethylene), semi-volatile organic compounds (e.g., 1,4-dioxane), polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., benzo(a)anthracene), and metals (e.g., arsenic and lead).
Groundwater, surface water, soils and sediments onsite are contaminated. Current health risks from the site are limited because access to the Site is restricted and offsite groundwater used as drinking water is not contaminated by wastes from the Site. The heavily contaminated onsite shallow groundwater is not used as a drinking water source. Because of the large volume of liquid waste destined to remain onsite as part of the containment remedy, it will be necessary to maintain on-going diligent operation of the containment systems. Groundwater and landfill gas monitoring will be necessary to ensure the remedy remains effective.
Landfill Gas
Underground Barrier Walls
In 1998, a pipeline was constructed to take treated effluent to the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District's Publicly Owned Treatment Works. The New Water Treatment Plant was completed in March 2000 and started receiving groundwater from the North Boundary Barrier Wall and other smaller groundwater extraction operations at the Site at that time. The new water treatment plant started accepting groundwater from the North Toe Extraction System in November 2002.
Groundwater and landfill gas from the site are routinely treated, tested and discharged to the Publicly Owned Treatment Works. Since groundwater is effectively removed from the Site, a potable water line was installed in 1998 to provide water necessary to augment the aquifer water removed through groundwater extraction. This potable water is polished with granular activated carbon to remove trihalomethanes, and this water is recharged to the shallow groundwater aquifer through the trench located immediately north of the North Boundary Barrier Wall.
Former Tire Piles
Landfill Cover
Asbestos Monofills
Former Tire Pile Area Waste Pit Remedy
Due to unanticipated conditions experienced during initial excavation of the north Former Tire Pile Area waste pit, Denver and Waste Management developed a feasibility study to re-evaluate the Former Tire Pile Area Waste Pit Remedy for the North and South Former Tire Pile Area waste pits. The Former Tire Pile Area Feasibility Study was approved by the EPA on December 30, 2004. EPA prepared a Proposed Plan for the Former Tire Pile Area waste pits and EPA's preferred remedial alternative is currently being implemented. This remedy involves the direct extraction of floating and sinking free product (LNAPL and DNAPL) through vertical extraction wells in and immediately adjacent to the North and South Former Tire Pile Area waste pits. Extraction of product will continue at each extraction well until the floating product is less than six (6) inches thick and the sinking product is less than six (6) inches thick for a period of at least 30 days. Once this performance standard is met, the respective extraction wells will be abandoned. Several extraction wells have already met the performance metric and been abandoned.
The Groundwater Monitoring Plan
In February 2005, the Groundwater Monitoring Plan was approved by EPA and initiated by the Potentially Responsible Parties. The Groundwater Monitoring Plan is designed to provide a single integrated groundwater compliance and effectiveness (performance) monitoring program that supercedes the multitude of pre-existing compliance and effectiveness monitoring plans for the Site. The overall objective of the compliance component of the groundwater monitoring program is to demonstrate that the remedy components collectively result in attainment of the performance standards for groundwater along the point of compliance. The focus of the Groundwater Monitoring Plan is on intrawell statistical analysis of water quality data collected from the groundwater compliance and performance network wells. An intrawell analysis typically evaluates water quality trends at multiple individual sampling points (or wells) through time. The Record of Decision for the site establishes performance standards for a number of chemicals that must be achieved in groundwater. Attainment of the performance standards at the point of compliance helps ensure the protection of human health. The Groundwater Monitoring Plan also establishes decision rules, based on the trends determined from statistical analysis, to determine when and where additional actions may be necessary.
Regarding the effectiveness monitoring program, the overarching objective of the containment features constructed and operated at the Site is to prevent groundwater from being transported from source areas beyond the point of compliance at levels above performance standards. 3 remedy components have been implemented to achieve containment of contaminated groundwater at the Site:
The specific design objectives vary among the different containment features at the Site, but each feature ultimately provides a mechanism for hydraulic control with the overarching objective of preventing contaminants transported by groundwater from crossing the regulatory boundary, also called the Point of Compliance. For example, the slurry wall limits both clean groundwater inflow and contaminated groundwater outflow, whereas the North Boundary Barrier Wall collects groundwater to limit down gradient flow to the north beyond the area of groundwater containment created by groundwater extraction at the North Boundary Barrier Wall. As all of these systems are intended to provide hydraulic control, they have similar purposes and objectives; however, given the differences in hydraulic controls provided by each containment feature, the criteria applied to evaluate effectiveness are distinct and detailed in the February 2005 Groundwater Monitoring Plan.
In an ongoing effort to lower concentrations of 1,4-dioxane in offsite groundwater to or below the performance standard, EPA approved a North end (i.e., offsite) Work Plan for an initial response action in 2006. The focus of the offsite efforts are in Section 31 (Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site ), located immediately north of the Superfund site. Currently, groundwater extraction is occurring in 3 offsite areas:
An offsite pipeline was constructed in December 2007 to facilitate transport of extracted groundwater from these and possibly other offsite areas to the water treatment plant. EPA and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment are currently considering a proposal to amend the North End Work Plan for the initial response action to facilitate a more flexible approach targeted at accelerating removal of 1,4-dioxane mass from the offsite plume.
In July 2007, EPA also approved a North End Groundwater Monitoring Plan. This plan is focused on intrawell statistical analysis of 1,4-dioxane groundwater quality data in selected offsite monitoring wells, where the offsite 1,4-dioxane plume is located. The North End Groundwater Monitoring Plan is similar to the 2005 plan, except that it only involves performance monitoring wells (i.e., there are no offsite compliance wells). Data analysis, contemplated in the North End Groundwater Monitoring Plan, is identical to the 2005 onsite Groundwater Monitoring Plan.

Triple Threat Music Theatre Program
Director and Acting Instructor: Lisa Ortenzi
Movement Instructor: Carli Taylor Miluk
Voice Instructor: Joel McDaniel
Triple Threat Music Theatre Program
Saturday Programming
Grades 4 - 10
The Conservatory Outreach department offers a Saturday morning program for middle and early high school students interested in improving their music theatre skills. Join us and experience the exciting world of music theatre! The Triple Threat Music Theatre program focuses on singing, acting, and movement for the music theatre stage so that students can improve their performance skills. Students audition on the first day of class in order to be placed in the appropriate ensemble depending on skills level. Students will participate in one of two ensembles and receive two hours class rotations including group voice classes, music theatre dance/movement classes and acting classes. At the end of the semester each ensemble combines their new skills in presenting a final "Informance." We call it an "Informance" because the Triple Threat program is focused on building participants' skills and technique not just on a final performance. We invite friends and family to attend the final "Informance" so that we can inform and share the skills and techniques we have built over the previous semester. Come see what all the fun is about!
Training Ensemble - Saturdays, 9:00 - 11:00 am
A beginning to intermediate level ensemble that focuses on building a strong foundation in singing, movement and acting, each of the concentrations that make up a true triple threat performer. Students grow as singers, dancers and actors while building skills toward being a member of the BW Triple Threat Performing Ensemble. The Training Ensemble performs in the "Informance" held at the end of each semester.
Performing Ensemble - Saturdays, 10:00 am - 12:00 noon
An intermediate to advanced level, audition-only ensemble made up of students with previous music theatre performing experience and/or previous participation in BW's Triple Threat and/or Music Theatre Camp programs. Performing ensemble instruction enhances participants' skills in singing, dancing and acting with a focus on the integration of the three skill areas. The Performing Ensemble performs in the "Informance" held at the end of each semester.

SCHAUMBURG, ILL. — The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Group Health and Life Insurance Trust (GHLIT) is worried about its fate
as the January 2014 effective date for President Barack Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act approaches.
The legislation aims to reform the nation's healthcare system, but its breadth and complexity have created a situation dangerous
for insurance programs like GHLIT, says AVMA GHLIT Chief Executive Officer Libby Wallace.
The bill, which requires three federal agencies to develop thousands of pages of regulations for implementation, causes two
big problems for GHLIT, according to recent data provided by the trust.
Secondly, GHLIT says its program and other association plans could be treated as individual policies, which are subject to
"onerous administrative requirements that may well limit plan availability and increase costs."
Many states have filed federal lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
already, and the U.S. Supreme Court was set to hear arguments on the program in March 2012 and release a decision by summer.
But GHLIT also plans to wage its own battle, Wallace told AVMA leaders, and is lobbying Congress and federal regulators to
preserve association plans in the new healthcare rules. She is urging veterinarians to contact their local representatives
as well.

Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is hoping for a complete - or close to complete - training camp. Obviously, that's where the critical practice preparation for the season takes place.
Asked if the Bills had a slight advantage over some teams becasue they already are a year into their offensive system, Fitzpatrick said: "I think Peyton Manning would have a leg up because he's been in that system a little longer. We have a lot of young guys and this work in the offseason really helps those guys, especially with the jump from year one to year two. David Nelson, Donald Jones, even Marcus Easley, Naaman Roosevelt, even Stevie (Johnson), a guy who hadn't played much until last year. We're really expecting to make a big jump this year. Without the work, the 7 on 7 work, the team work, I think it hurts us a little. Hopefully, we'll have a lot of time to catch up in training camp. And I know those guys are working out hard right now. We're going to throw as much together as we can."
"I think all the talk about guys getting their playbooks or not getting their playbooks, I think it's very overrated, to be honest at this point," Fitzpatrick said. "You have to be out there doing it. You have to be on the field against a defense. You have to see situations against coverages. We're going to have a very similar offense to what we had last year. There's going to be a period of time where guys are going to have to go through it again and think about their routes."
"At this point just being out here doing it on air, I don't think that is a big issue," he said of not working with playbooks. "I think training camp is going to be the issue. That's when we're going to get the majority of our work done. I think that's what happens in the offseason anyways, training camp is the big time."

PORTLAND – The fluoride debate drew a huge crowd to a Northeast Portland community center Wednesday night, with about a month left before voters decide whether it should be added to their drinking water.
So many people showed up at the meeting that some were turned away because there wasn't enough space. Supporters and critics argued that facts were on their side.
"Every surgeon general in the last 60 years has endorsed community water fluoridation," said Mike Plunkett of the group Healthy Kids, Healthy Portland. "The Centers for Disease Control, National Academy of Sciences, I can go on."
"These chemicals are not calcium fluoride," said Kellie Barnes, of Clean Water Portland. "They're not even pharmaceutical fluoride, these are the bi-products of the phosphate industry."
Portland City Council voted for fluoridation in the fall. But an anti-fluoride group collected enough signatures to put it to a vote. Three previous votes have rejected it. Ballots will go out on May 3.

The Point Borough Mayor, Council and Sandy-flooded residents are objecting to sections of a FEMA advisory map that puts them in a "V Zone" that calls for more stringent building requirements and higher flood insurance rates.
Mayor William Schroeder and council members told a room of about 100 people, most of whom have homes flooded by Sandy, at Tuesday night's meeting, that they are fighting the designation of sections of Bay Head Shores, which is on Barnegat Bay, and a few other sections of town as being in the "V Zone."
Residents who spoke had concerns about the zone designations, building requirements, a possible faulty pipe exacerbating flooding on Northstream Parkway (which flooded badly during Sandy) and other related matters.
The Advisory Base Flood Elevation Maps were in the process of being drafted long before Sandy ever struck the Jersey Shore, but were recently made public.
V is Not for Victory
According to the website of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),the "V zone" is among the "Special Flood Hazard Areas."
Tom Bolcar, District 1 representative of the Sunshine Harbor Association Board, and many of his neighbors, are incensed that any section of the Sandy-swamped neighborhood has been included in the "V zone" since that designation is the same one used for the oceanfront in Point Beach and other towns, or, as FEMA puts it, "areas impacted by three foot waves." Sunshine Harbor consists of about 250 homes east of Beaver Dam Road.
Bolcar contends that FEMA was not using science when it crafted the map delineations and labels, but based it more on who has filed claims, despite that FEMA says the maps were in the works long before Sandy hit.
Patch posed questions about that and other issues regarding the flood maps to FEMA on Thursday. A FEMA official provided some background information from the FEMA website and said more detailed answers to specific questions would be provided on Friday.
Bolcar said Glenwood Avenue property owned by Bill Burke, who was at Tuesday night's meeting, is split between the A zone and the V zone and other sections of Glenwood are in V while part of the road is in A.
The FEMA website states: "Zones with low and moderate risk are labeled B, C, X, or an X with shading. High-risk zones, or Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs), are labeled A, AE, AO, or AH. SFHAs have at least a one percent chance of flooding every year, and flood insurance is mandatory for properties within it."
FEMA further defines the "A Zone" as: "Advisory Zone A is comprised of the area subject to storm surge flooding from the 1% annual chance coastal flood. These areas are not subject to high velocity wave action but are still considered high risk flooding areas."
The FEMA website page says: "Coastal high hazard areas (Zones V or VE) are Special Flood Hazard Areas where computed wave heights are three feet or more; these areas are subject to more stringent building requirements and different flood insurance rates than other zones shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) because these areas are exposed to a higher level of risk than other SFHAs. More detailed descriptions of all FEMA flood zones can be found on FEMA's Flood Zones web page."
Burke said he doesn't know if he will be able to afford to fix up his flooded house on Glenwood and pay higher flood insurance rates, if that's what it comes to.
"I may have to walk away from my house," said Burke who has a wife and two young daughters. They are living temporarily and paying rent in Belmar, while still paying a mortgage and taxes on the house in Point.
Waves and High Wind Velocity in Point Borough?
Bolcar said the current advisory map just doesn't make sense, but could plunge "V zone" residents into a designation that would force them to pay four times as much for flood insurance.
The FEMA website also says: "Zones VE and V1-30 are areas subject to inundation by the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event with additional hazards due to storm-induced velocity wave action."
Bolcar said, "How can someone six lagoons back in Lagoona Village get any velocity? How can velocity stop halfway down the lagoon at Ospray Court? How can velocity suddenly stop halfway up the lagoons of Bay Head Shores?
"Show me the velocity damage," Bolcar continued. "Where are the destroyed houses moved off their foundations? Where are cars moved by velocity? There simply isn't any of this type of damage in town. Our most exposed residents got debris that floated up onto their property. No one's home was battered by debris. By any existing definition that FEMA wants to pursue, there simply is no velocity damage cataloged anywhere in the Borough."
Because the advisory maps are not the final maps, Borough officials are urging residents to write to Gov. Christie's office and their federal representatives to oppose the proposed maps.
Ordinance to Raise Houses
In a related matter, the council voted nearly unanimously, with only Councilman Robert Sabosik voting no, for an ordinance on first reading to allow residents to raise their homes (see attached PDF). The measure will be reviewed by the planning board and then go back to council on Feb. 19 for public hearing and possible adoption. Sabosik said he had a concern about some of the wording so he was voting no.
Schroeder said in an email to reporters on Wednesday: "Please relay that all and any homeowners affected by Superstorm Sandy can rebuild to their existing elevation now. They can get a building permit. The guide line from FEMA, which we included in our ordinance, the base floor elevation, will only effect insurance requirements. As a governing body our desire is to protect our residents both in case of future storms and mortgage insurance requirements. Again we oppose the V zone, completely."
Afraid to Rebuild Without Raising
However, there are residents, such as Trish Maloy, whose ranch on Middle Avenue flooded, who is worried about rebuilding at the current level.
"I'm afraid to rebuild (at the existing elevation) because I'm afraid I'll flood again," said Maloy, who is currently staying with a friend in Matawan because her gutted home is unlivable.
She said the nor'easter that followed Sandy brought nine inches of water into her house, a clear sign the high water level is still here and remains a threat.
She told the council some residents are thinking about walking away from their homes because they fear they cannot afford the cost of raising and renovating their house and paying higher flood insurance rates.
She's scared she may be one of them since an estimate indicates it will cost her about $50,000 to raise her house.
"I lost a house once before," she said, breaking down in tears. "I lost a breast to cancer, I lost my house because I couldn't work 12 years ago.
"It took me 12 years to build myself back up," said Maloy, who works two jobs. "Now my house is flooded. I don't know if I'm going to lose it again. It's a living nightmare."
Schroeder said he understands why some residents are hesitant to renovate without raising their homes.
"I realize it's a double-edged sword for residents," he wrote in an email. "You rebuild as you are and no insurance and get flooded again or you spend a fortune to raise your house to protect against flooding and then have insurance. Not an easy remedy. Our hope is that Chris Smith, our congressman, can get us the block grant money."
Smith and state officials have said they hope that as Congress releases more Sandy relief funds, the money will be filtered to the counties in the form of Community Development Block Grants as rebuilding aid to Sandy-battered homeowners and businesses.

At a time when heart disease, breast cancer and prostate cancer deaths are all going down, a new study out today says Alzheimer's cases are on the rise - and the coming epidemic is hitting minorities the hardest.
At age 66, Peggy is living a full life at a retirement facility, but coming to grips with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
"Do I forget my sisters and brothers? I know all of their names, their birthdays - all of that. Do I think I'm going to know that fifteen years from now? I don't know," she said.
She's not alone. A new study shows that Alzheimer's cases are on the rise in this country.
"We really in general attribute the overall increased prevalence of this disease to our longevity ( 55 ). We are living longer and age is the number one risk factor," said Maria Carrillo, Senior Director of Medical and Scientific Relations with the Alzheimer's Association.
The study shows the highest increases in the African-American and Hispanic communities. High blood pressure and diabetes are factors, but this longtime nurse believes minority cases have been underreported.
"But now across the board all groups are seeing their doctors more, so therefore more cases are being reported," said Jacqueline Collins, Kensington Park Retirement Community.
As baby boomers head into their golden years, researchers believe cases will continue to rise.
"If we don't find a cure immediately, the silver tsunami is going to hit us, and every family is going to have a member that's going to have a diagnosis of Alzheimer's," said Randy Allen East, Kensington Park Retirement Community.
Meanwhile, Peggy and countless others living with Alzheimer's are hoping for a cure and doing whatever they can to hold on.
"If you're going to face it, understand that. Do what you can for it. Ripen up your memories. And beyond that, I think you just have to wait," said Peggy.
Researchers say we can reduce the risk of developing dementia by exercising body and mind.

These dowels are TOP quality; much better than I find in local "big-box stores". I've bought Rockler dowels exclusively for several years. The wood is always clear of knots and streaks; VERY straight - not warped.

Very nice dowels. The shipping time was very speedy, I just ordered the basic UPS ground. It only took around 5 days. I would say around 3-4 of them are warped to where i need to soak them and make them straight, the rest were good. I am very picky though, I am trying to make percussion mallets and the dowels need to be perfectly straight. The warping could have been due to shipping though. Overall it was very good, and next time I need anything I will definitely be shopping at rockler if they have what I need.

Bellingham timber framer Jackson DuBois couldn't resist the opportunity to work six days a week in Poland hewing logs for a history project that warmed his heart as much as it warmed his muscles.
DuBois, a tall and lean 36-year-old, works for Cascade Joinery of Ferndale, but he spent last May and June using old-style hand tools to help recreate part of a famous 300-year-old wooden synagogue. An 85-percent-scale replica of the synagogue's roof and ornately painted cupola will become a major display at the Museum of the History of Polish Jews, now under construction where the Warsaw Ghetto once stood.
The synagogue was in Gwozdziec, a town that's now in Ukraine but that used to be part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
For DuBois, the trip meant a chance to learn and work with ancient tools and framing techniques, to work with an international crew, and to help mend a culture decimated by hate.
While the original Gwozdziec synagogue, the one that inspired the project, was destroyed during World War I, its replacement wooden synagogue, and several hundred others in eastern Europe, were later burned by Nazis.
During the Holocaust, Nazis killed an estimated 3 million Polish Jews, 90 percent of Poland's Jewish population at the time.
"The Jewish heritage of the region has been systematically erased," DuBois said.
The project is a joint effort by the museum in Warsaw; the Timber Framers Guild, an education group based in New Hampshire; and by Handshouse Studio, a Massachusetts-based program that fosters community-service projects to reconstruct historical buildings and objects.
DuBois and about 20 other timber framers, plus several dozen students, spent weeks and months turning silver fir logs into rafters, beams, trusses and curved ribs for the roof and cupola.
They worked in a grassy corner of an outdoor architectural park in Sanok, a town in southeast Poland. Think of the park as a large version of Ferndale's Pioneer Park, but with buildings dating back to the early 1600s.
DuBois said many residents of Sanok and tourists at the architectural park were unfamiliar with local Jewish culture and the area's old synagogues. Discussions with those people and with the timber framers and students often turned to such topics as history, hate, regret and renewal.
"Every day, something brought a tear to your eye," DuBois said. "It was hard to come back to normal life after that."
Wooden synagogues were common in the 16th and 17th centuries because wood was readily available and didn't cost much. The synagogue at Gwozdziec was built in the early 1700s.
In 1728, members of a Jewish painters guild covered the remodeled cupola above the prayer hall with ornate, brightly colored images: Hebrew inscriptions, vibrant animals, Jewish symbolism and other decorative art.
The quality of the artwork, plus the new style of cupola, made it one of the greatest and best-documented ancient synagogues in Poland, said Thomas Hubka, a professor of architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the author of "Resplendent Synagogue: Architecture and Worship in an Eighteenth-Century Polish Community."
"There are about 10 of them that are the masterworks, and this is one of them," he said.
For DuBois, his two months in Poland left such an impression that he plans to visit the replica once it's on display in Warsaw.
"It was a wonderful experience," he said. "It's a builder's dream come true."

America's Best Healthy Places to Retire
U.S. News writers profile 10 healthy retirement spots around the country.
Think of it as retirement reinvented. As Americans live longer and in better health, all those old retirement clichés seem evermore removed from reality. Long walks on the beach? Hitting the links? Fiddling around the house? Nope, modern retirement can be so much more than that, from triathlons to deep-sea fishing. (OK, and maybe a little golf.)
Of course, to make the most of this next stage of life, you have to be healthy. And whether you practice yoga to heighten your mental acuteness and flexibility, soak up the panoramic views at the highest peak of a hiking trail, or get a rush when a gust of wind hits the sails, where you spend your later years can make all the difference.
To help you get started on the process of finding the healthiest spots to retire (assuming that such a thing is still possible despite the dismal stock market), U.S. News traveled the country and selected 10 editors' picks. These are places way ahead of the healthy living curve—they provide numerous places to exercise, promote strong social support, and encourage healthy lifestyle habits. And each has a little something extra, too.
Between Maine's forest-blanketed mountains and rugged coast lies Portland, with its seemingly endless hiking-and-biking trails and an island-studded Casco Bay, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Traverse through the desert and you'll find Green Valley, Ariz., which boasts 12 local recreation centers offering a litany of recreational activities, from woodworking shops and computer labs, to tennis, swimming, and bocce ball. For something a bit lighter, Walnut Creek, Calif., might be more your speed, where retirees come together through a love gardening and socializing. Those who beckon to a retirement of boating and world-class game fishing will probably fancy Punta Gorda, Fla.
But our list is just the beginning. Want to search for the retirement spot that best fits your needs? Just go to our 2008 version of our Best Places to Retire search tool. It allows you to sort through more than 2,000 locations throughout the United States according to the criteria that are most important to you, including climate, access to healthcare, cost of living, and recreational choices. You'll end up with a customized list of places with detailed information about each city or town. You can also find more editors' picks of the greenest, brainiest, and outdoorsiest places to retire. We've even got something for golf nuts and the most fanatical of football fans. Finally, we've included favorites submitted by readers, who describe what they find special about their retirement havens.
Now it's no secret that healthy folks tend to live longer, get fewer colds and flues, experience less aches and pains while aging, recover fast from an illness, and are happier mentally and emotionally. "The three prerequisites for well being in the later years are good health, financial security, and social integration," says Victor Marshall, director of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Institute on Aging. "You want to move to a community that is set up to make it easier for people to get out and walk." Marshall recommends three, 45-minute periods of brisk walking a week. But other activities like yoga, gardening, biking, or even raking leaves can count toward that total.
Staying active and engaged in a healthy community may even help you live longer. "I certainly don't recommend a treadmill or jogging," says Eric Tangalos, a Mayo Clinic physician who specializes in geriatric medicine. "But walking, bicycling, swimming, and Thai-chi especially are great and preserve the joints. You should be sweating." Budding up with a neighbor can produce even better results. "Networks of friends and family and active social engagement are associated with better mental and physical health and lower death rates," says Gene Cohen, director of the Center on Aging, Health & Humanities at George Washington University.
There's no better time than retirement to focus on your health. By choosing the best place for a healthy retirement, you can bet you'll look forward to personal fulfillment and a longer life. Oh, and feel free to break some myths along the way.

The metal-edged Kahru skis snapped to my old leather three-pin boots, gold and grey and well acquainted with rocks.
They need to be.
It has taken me an hour to get from the ŌĆ£SnoparkŌĆØ trailhead to this snowy meadow near Rock Creek Lake, a mile that would normally take about five minutes of easy skiing.
But it has hardly snowed this winter and even with the past week of storms weŌĆÖve only received a measly 18 feet since November where there should be 40.
The Village Championships season, such as it was, ended well this past week, on fast snow in warm temperatures.
The snow conditions and air temperatures this season formed the overall theme of the 2014 VCs, which is among the oldest and most iconic of Mammoth Mountain's racing schedule.
Course setters on Fascination and Andie's Double Gold frequently adjusted gate alignments and course configurations to deal with a low-snow season.
Nevertheless, the races went on, and on Tuesday, March 25, it was all about the finish.
There has been a lot of recent sports activity in the Eastern Sierra involving local law enforcement officers, but nowhere did their badges shine the brightest than at the Fire and Police Winter Olympics earlier this month on Mammoth Mountain, and on the asphalt in the desert.
The Olympics, which Mammoth hosted for the 29th straight season, put hardware into the hands of seven officers, even though Mike Braun, who organized the Games, skied for his former department, the LAPD, and took home one gold and two silvers.
Deena Kastor might be 41 years old, but she can still run with the best of them.
Amid chilly and windy conditions Sunday in Dallas, Mammoth's three-time Olympian and American record-holder turned in the fifth-fastest half-marathon time by a U.S. runner in 2014 with a new course record at the Rock 'n' Roll Dallas Half Marathon.
"Going to the Rock 'n' Roll Dallas half marathon, I knew I was in good fitness," she said afterward, "but all other aspects need to fall into place in order to break records.
Here are the results of the 7th Annual Mammoth Winter Biathlon on March 22-23.
The track season opens next week in Mammoth, and if members of the Mammoth Track Club are on the giddy side, it's no wonder.
Two new members of the club, which is now sponsored by ASICS, turned in noteworthy performances at the L.A. Marathon on Sunday, March 10, giving the club fuel for its first practice of the season on Tuesday, March 18.
The first practice, which starts at 7 a.m., is open to the public, said Coach Andrew Kastor.
The Mammoth Track Club came up big Sunday at the L.A. Marathon, with both Lauren Kleppin and Gabe Proctor turning in the best American times.
Training cancelled, race on hold, event postponed due to weather…those are just some of the phases that have plagued the Mammoth Mountain Ski Team U14s for the entire 2013-2014 season.
As a result by March 2 the U14s had completed just four USSA races for the entire season. And it didn't look like this was going to change this past week as one of the largest storms this season dumped three and a half feet of new snow just prior to the Stacey Cook SG Challenge, scheduled for March 1-2.
Mammoth's Lucas Underkoffler and Nikita Norton are in Colorado this weekend, after having won spots in the under-18 U.S. Nationals ski races this weekend at Copper Mountain.
Underkoffer and Norton both won spots as a result of their performances in the FIS Elite Wild West Classic at Snow King Mountain, Wyo., last weekend.
Seven other Mammoth Mountain Ski Team racers participated in the Wyoming event.
Norton placed fifth for the U18 ladies in the first slalom and Underkoffler was fifth for the second slalom and seventh in the final GS.
John Teller's Olympics were over almost before they started.
Teller, the mechanic who works for his Uncle Mike Fiebiger at the Alpine Garage, crashed out of the Olympic ski cross early, finishing 28th in a field of 32.
In a Facebook quote posted by his mother, Teller seemed to take the loss with a fair measure of philosophy.
"That's ski racing ... sometimes you win and sometimes you lose; just wasn't my day today."
There's an old saying around here, that "if you put a speed race on the calendar, it will snow."
Once again the old urban legend was on the money last week when snowy weather forced the Mammoth Mountain Race Department to scramble.
Pete Korfiatis, Head MMST FIS coach, described the scenario like this:
"Though the MMRD was ready to race, Mother Nature had different ideas. She came in with fury, and knowing how badly the mountain needed the snowfall no one was upset.
Larry Johnston says he knows one word in Russian.
It is "nyet," the Russian word for "no."
Debbie Teller says she knows one fewer word than Johnston.
Karl Teller, meanwhile, has been trying to pick up bits of Russian on his vehicle's CD player, and Debbie says he might know five words by now, while Karen Johnston says she's working on one word: "Dosvidaniya," meaning goodbye.
The top halfpipe competitors in the U.S. and world may have been vying for spots on the U.S. Olympic Team in front on the Main Lodge deck, but over to the right, on the Andie's Double Gold race course, future Olympians were racing for their "gold" coming from Mimi's Cookie Bar.
When three-time Olympian Kelly Clark fell on her first run of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic snowboard halfpipe finals, she instantly relived the 2006 Torino Olympics, where a fall put her in fourth place.
"I repeated my greatest defeat in the first run of finals," said Clark, who already has locked up a spot on the 2014 Olympic Snowboarding team and who will appear among the many stars at the U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain, today (Thursday, Jan. 16) through Sunday.
