Though history offers no hard and fast laws like we find in physics, it does provide us with some guidelines. One of the most important is that when it comes to making plans, "the enemy gets a vote" or as Winston Churchill put it: "However absorbed a commander may be in the elaboration of his own thoughts, it is necessary sometimes to take the enemy into consideration."

The Rambam writes in Hilchos Melachim 9:1 that Adam HaRishon was commanded in six mitzvos, and Noach was commanded in a seventh. Adam was commanded to not do the following: worship avodah zarah, curse Hashem, kill, gilui arayos, and steal. He was also commanded to set up a court system. In addition to those commands, Noach was commanded not to eat from ever min hachai (a limb detached from a live animal).

He was known as one of the most successful and wealthy individuals in the country, and his fame seemed to grow as quickly as his profits. He was the envy of his acquaintances, the bane of his competition. So when the accusations were leveled against him it was an absolute shock. He was accused of murdering a seventeen-year-old girl and the evidence against him was incriminating.

The Mishnah in Sukkah 34b says that an esrog of urla (fruit from the first three years after the tree was planted) and that of terumah temeiah are unfit for use in fulfilling the mitzvah. The Gemara (35a) explains that this is because one of the requirements of the mitzvah is that one must be able to eat the esrog. Since one may not eat urla or terumah temeiah they are unfit for the mitzvah.

Every Shabbos we look forward to the delightful seudos where we enjoy delicious food and drinks, sing zemiros, say divrei Torah, and spend wonderful time with our families. This coming Shabbos, Yom Kippur, will be quite different. We will spend most of the day in prayer and repentance, begging Hashem to forgive us for our sins, and we may forget that it is also Shabbos. However, from the fact that we ask for forgiveness "on this day of Shabbos," we see that there is an integral connection between Shabbos and the atonement of Yom Kippur.

With the entire nation gathered at the foot of Har Sinai, Moshe Rabbeinu went up to receive the Torah. When he came down forty days later, the Jewish people were in a very different state from when he had left them. Through the influence of the mixed multitude, they were engaged in a form of idol worship. While it's true that the vast majority of the people didn't actively engage in the act, for such a people so soon after hearing, "I am Hashem Your G-d," directly from our Creator, this was so egregious that it was considered as if they had each participated. The only hope was for Moshe to beseech Hashem for mercy.

There is a mitzvah to eat on Erev Yom Kippur. The pasuk says that we should do ennui to our soul on the ninth day of Tishrei. The Gemara, in Yuma 81b, explains that the pasuk cannot be referring to the ninth day because we know from other pesukim that the ennui is on the tenth of the month. Therefore the Gemara explains that the pasuk is teaching us that whoever eats on the ninth day is considered to have fasted on the ninth and tenth days.

Why do we call this Shabbos, Shabbos Shuvah? Is it because it's the only Shabbos during the Aseres Yemei Teshuva? That can't be the reason. After all, we don't call this Shabbos, Shabbos Teshuvah. It's specifically called Shabbos Shuvah. So you'll tell me, shuvah, teshuvah—same thing, right? Both mean repentance. But we will see that the difference between teshuvah and shuvah is all the difference in the world.

Hashem told Moshe to engrave the names of the twelve shevatim onto the stones of the Ephod as a remembrance. Rashi explains that this was so that the memory of Reuven, Shimon, Levi, etc. would be invoked when the kohen gadol did the avodah, and Hashem would then remember their righteousness.
Posted on: September 4th, 2013Judaism → Parsha
The Mishnah in Rosh Hashanah 16a says that on the first day of the year (Rosh Hashanah), every human being passes in front of Hashem and is judged. The Gemara there (16b) says in the name of Rabbi Kruspadai that there are three sefarim opened on Rosh Hashanah – one for tzaddikim, one for reshaim, and one for beinonim. The tzaddikim are inscribed for life, the reshaim are written for death, and the beinonim must wait until Yom Kippur to see what the judgment on them will be. If they are "zocheh," they will be inscribed for life; if not, they will be marked for death.

Peter Drucker famously said, "Long range planning does not deal with future decisions, but with the future of present decisions." Sadly, history is replete with examples of leaders who have not only ignored this principle, but who have lost focus of their immediate goals. By doing so, they not only fail to think about the second and third layers of effects, but they fail to consider the possibility of unintended consequences.

There is a famous pasuk in one of this week's parshiyos, Parshas Nitzavim, which carries strong halachic ramifications.

After many grave warnings against leaving the ways of the Torah, Moshe Rabbeinu tells Klal Yisrael that learning and keeping the Torah is within easy grasp of each of us. "Acquiring it doesn't require wings to fly to the heavens, and studying it doesn't demand crossing oceans." Rather, Torah is well within the reach of each person.

At the beginning of this week's parshah the Torah discusses the halachos of bikkurim. When one sees the first fruit blossoming, he is to tie a red string on that fruit, bring them to the Beis HaMikdash, and give them to a kohen. While there, he must read a passage from the Torah found in the beginning of this week's parshah.
Posted on: August 22nd, 2013Judaism → Parsha
At the end of a long prophecy of what will befall us if we don't follow the ways of Hashem, the Torah seems to lay the blame on one issue: because you did not serve Hashem…amid gladness and goodness of heart when everything was abundant. It seems the pivotal point of these two extremes is based on simcha, implying that serving Hashem with happiness is critical to our success as a nation.
Posted on: August 16th, 2013Judaism → Parsha
We live in a time when something just six months old is considered outdated. Our generation strives for the most comfortable and easy way of life, and thus we are never satisfied with the "old-fashioned" devices. We, as Torah-abiding-Jews, definitely try our hardest not to get caught up in this wild and mad pursuit of worldly pleasures and comforts, but we can certainly learn an important lesson from this craziness.
Posted on: August 15th, 2013Judaism → Parsha
The Torah lays out our attitude and approach to the different nations and tells us, "The Mitzrim cannot be totally rejected because you lived in their country." Rashi is bothered by this mixed expression. If we are supposed to be grateful for the good the Mitzrim did for us, why use the expression "don't reject them"? This doesn't sound very appreciative.

Conversion Rates for Airlines Up When UK Airspace Reopened
TradeDoubler Looks at Impact of Volcanic Ash Disruption
Transactional traffic to airline sites dropped significantly in the midst of the volcanic ash travel disruption, and due to both confidence and availability, conversion rates halved in many cases.
On 21st April when the airspace re-opened, traffic to flight sites was still slightly down, the conversion rate jumped 36%, which was not the massive jump the airlines hoped for. This is mostly likely the result of alternative means of transport already put in place by stranded travellers in the interim.
On the other hand, traffic to other sectors, such as ferries and trains enjoyed up to 250% boost whilst UK airspace was closed. Providers included in the study enjoyed record volumes of bookings, although availability of inventory was an issue. The good news for these sectors, was that once airline travel resumed again, traffic dropped but remained higher than the same period prior to the disruption.
Deeper analysis examined successful purchase paths before, during and after the disruption. Navigational paths and use of media by consumers remained stable, apart from a significant uplift in use of paid search links – perhaps due to the urgency experienced by distressed travellers.
Interestingly, for rail travel, click paths also remained unchanged (i.e. average clicks in a journey remained steady compared to the same period in March). This is most likely the result of availability. Whilst users were heading to these sites with the intention to purchase, many simply found that trains and ferries were unavailable – hence the increase in non-transactional traffic during the period.
The analysis was performed on UK traffic and conversion data, by the TradeDoubler Insight team. The team also works on client-specific assignments, identifying new sources of transactional uplift by mining and modelling underlying channel data.

Dr. Greis has excellent diagnostic abilities, patient care and listening skills. Dr. Greis has treated me with respect and provides the most appropriate treatment for my issues. He is an outstanding physician and I would highly recommend him to family and friends.
I saw Dr. Greis today because my hands and forearms suddenly went numb and weak over a week ago. He spoke to me for a total of 5 minutes and only checked my reflexes, never even touched my neck to see if he could feel anything and then wrote me a script for a MRI that he said he didn't think would show anything. A good doctor would want to investigate to find out what is causing my problem. The icing on the cake was when I told him that my right hand was starting to go numb too. He said, "sometimes after you read on the Internet you think you have symptoms that you really don't have." I'm not a hypochondriac looking for pills. I just want to know that everything is okay.
Dear Melissa, We apologize for your less than satisfactory experience and would love the opportunity to speak with you further. Your feedback is valuable and translates into an opportunity for improvement on our part. If interested, please contact us directly at 267-339-3689. Sincerely, Rothman Institute
I don't think I have ever experienced a doctor's visit quite like this one. Dr. Greis was with me for about 2 minutes. He told me to take valium and exercise. He did send me for an MRI on his way out the door. I felt like I was back in the 1950's when doctors prescribed valium for women because we were so emotional! If you really want a doctor who will actually listen to what your complaints are, don't go to him.
I was shocked by the demeanor of Dr. Greis at my most recent visit. In the past he'd at least been reasonable and willing to listen. Now he barely even looked me in the eye and was in and out. I felt like I was bothering him to ask questions and his staff subtly apologized for his rude demeanor. He wasn't great before but this experience was enough for me never to go back again.

'"Planes: Fire & Rescue' feels mature. The action is elevated. The humor is brighter, so I love that it's an ever-changing world that provided me the opportunity as an actor to come in and actually find ways to verbalize the growth of my character, which I think we've done with Dusty."
"I think the great message in 'Disney's Planes' was that you can succeed beyond your own expectations. Don't be afraid to dig a little deeper and push yourself and you just might be pleasantly surprised."
"You've never seen anything like it -- the fire scenes are just wild. The scope is huge. The audience is in the thick of it with Dusty."

Great stand for the money, one small problem
This is a great piece of equipment for the average home biker. It went together very easy with one exception, one of the nuts for the stand was not threaded from the factory. I had to obtain the 6mm nut from an outside source and then all was well. Even with that problem I would recommend this product highly.

Four arrested in huge coin theft
ALBURGH Vermont State Police say four Grand Isle County residents are facing charges of stealing more than $200,000 worth of gold coins from a vacant house after the eccentric owner had died in a farm accident.
Authorities have arrested 32-year-old Jennifer Jarvis, 35-year-old Ricky Benjamin and 52-year-old Mark Mumley, all of Alburgh, and 41-year-old Shawn Farrell, of Swanton, on possession of stolen property and other charges.
Theyre accused of breaking into a home that has been vacant for several months after the owner died and stealing the coins.
Police said Thursday that they sold the coins, ranging in value from $350 to $1,800, to coin and jewelry dealers around Chittenden County.
So far, police have recovered $5,000 worth of coins. More arrests are expected.MORE IN Central VermontBARRE A Granite City man already facing a felony drunken driving charge is accused of driving...

text: Tiger lilies are an escaped ornamental. But these are not normal ones, which have 6 petal-like parts, but rather mutant ones (probably a known cultivar; I've seen similar ones elsewhere) in which the petals are tripled, so they have 18. Doubling/tripling/etc of petals is a common phenomenon -- sometimes seen in wild-type flowers, but very common in ornamental cultivars. Roses were all bred from wild roses that have 5 petals. There's a lot known now about the genes that govern flower pattern formation. What we have here is what's called a homeotic mutation -- a transformation of one part into another. In this case it's a transformation of stamens (and probably 1 other whorl) into petals. What's really cool is that it's an incomplete transformation, so you can often still see the filament of the stamen embedded in the petal, and a fully-functional pollen-bearing anther growing at its tip. Here's a closeup. There are numerous genes that are known to be involved in pattern formation in flowers. Many of them are transcription factors -- "master control genes" that bind to DNA and turn on or off other genes.

Audi will build a production version of its e-tron electric supercar concept.
Web reports suggest the zero-emission sports car, to be called the R4, could hit the road as early as 2011.
And a report on UK website Auto Express says the R4, a smaller version of the R8 supercar, will also have petrol-powered versions.
It says the new car could share a platform with the next-generation Porsche Boxster and Cayman, given that Porsche is now part of the Volkswagen Group, which also owns Audi.
The R4 will slot in just above the TT coupe in the Audi range, and will most likely share some petrol engines with the TT.
Audi�s US boss Johan de Nysschen told US industry journal, Automotive News, that �running examples� of the R4 would be on the road in the next two years.
The low-slung, lightweight e-tron concept, unveiled at last month�s Frankfurt motor show, had electric motors at all four wheels and could sprint from 0-100km/h in just 4.8 seconds.
Its lithium-ion battery pack, which was positioned where the engine would go on petrol versions, could be recharged from a domestic power point in about eight hours and had a range of about 250km.
Audi is developing a rapid-charging option that can recharge the battery in about two-and-a-half hours.
It�s also working on a home-based wireless charging system where the car starts re-charging as soon as it is driven into the garage.
The concept car�s top speed was limited to 200km/h, but the production version is tipped to have a slightly higher top speed.
Photos posted on Auto Express show a canvas-roofed �Targa� version of the R4, although a convertible is also believed to be on the cards.
Audi will use a lightweight aluminium frame and carbon fibre components to keep the car�s weight down, while it will also have regenerative brakes, which capture kinetic energy usually lost when a car slows down.
The e-tron has a similar weight distribution to the R8 on which it is based, with weight split 42:58 front to rear.
By default, 70 per cent of the e-tron's drive goes to the rear wheels, while 30 per cent is applied to the rear wheels.
But in keeping with Audi�s Quattro four-wheel-drive heritage, the drive can be sent to the wheels with the most grip to improve traction.
And the car takes advantage of the electric motor at each wheel to enhance handling.
The on-board computer can deliver microsecond-long bursts of either power or braking force to individual wheels to eliminate understeer.
No pricing information is available on the R4, but with the most expensive TT costing about $100,000 and the cheapest R8 going for $260,000, there�s plenty of room for the R4.
The R4 isn�t the only electric German supercar on the drawing board.
Mercedes has an electric version of its new SLS AMG �Gullwing� in the pipeline, while Porsche has committed to hybrid and electric versions of its sports cars.

Baby steps is one of the principles behind the eXtreme Programming and other agile methods. It is, namely, performing changes in small steps on every level, be it implementing a feature, changing the database structure or just coding a couple of methods. The ideas behind this principle correlate well with not programming by coincidence and usually baby steps are implemented with test-driven-development based techniques.
The advantages of applying baby steps come from the fact that the smaller the piece of work is, the easier it is to think it over, plan and verify. Baby steps allow for verifying the direction often and for changing the plan frequently. When applying baby steps every mistake is only a baby mistake that can be noticed early and corrected easily. For example, when transforming the application from a single binary into client-server, the baby steps can help to see very early if a chosen technique (e.g. COM plugins or AJAXy web clients) fits well into your situation and adapt before months of efforts are invested into the transformation.
The biggest disadvantage of the approach is in the need to actually verify the application behavior often, be it the code or user-perceivable feature level. For the team that does not use test-driven-development and does not have an extensive set of unit tests, verifying the functions can take a lot of time. If the customer does not collaborate with the team often, it is difficult to verify early that the feature is done.
The "frequent verification overhead" might be a real problem in some circumstances. However, whenever we manage to make it smaller, whenever we manage to make the unit testing set faster and more reliable, whenever we manage to get the customer evaluation more frequently, the speed and correctness of delivery raises quickly.

For the second straight year the Azalea Invitational golf tournament has been shortened because of heavy overnight rains at the Country Club of Charleston.
Nearly 2 ½ inches of rain were recorded at the golf course from late Friday night until early Saturday morning and with more rain and possible thunderstorms forecast tournament officials elected to cancel the third round. The field was cut to the low 60 and ties with 67 players qualifying for Sunday's final round with tee times beginning at 8:30 a.m.
Country Club of Charleston member Brennen King and Auburn golfer Michael Johnson share the lead at 6-under-par 135 with nine more players within four shots of the lead.
Last year Austin Langdale of Townville, who was a freshman at Clemson this year, was declared the winner in what became a 36-hole tournament after the third round was suspended because of heavy rains and the course was deemed unplayable for Sunday's scheduled final round.

Pathology reports have shown that cholinergic forebrain neuronal losses in parkinsonian dementia (PDem) are equal to or greater than those in Alzheimer disease (AD). We hypothesized that patients with PDem would have cholinergic deficits that were similar to or greater than those of patients with AD.
To determine in vivo cortical acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in healthy control subjects and in patients with mild AD, PDem, and Parkinson disease without dementia using AChE positron emission tomography.
University and Veterans' Administration medical center.
Design and Patients
Group comparison design of patients with AD (n = 12), PDem (n = 14), and Parkinson disease without dementia (n = 11), and controls (n = 10) who underwent AChE imaging between July 1, 2000, and January 31, 2003. Patients with AD and PDem had approximately equal dementia severity.
Main Outcome Measures
Cerebral AChE activity.
Compared with controls, mean cortical AChE activity was lowest in patients with PDem (−20.0%), followed by patients with Parkinson disease without dementia (−12.9%; P<.001). Mean cortical AChE activity was relatively preserved in patients with AD (−9.1%), except for regionally selective involvement of the lateral temporal cortex (−15%; P<.001).
Reduced cortical AChE activity is more characteristic of patients with PDem than of patients with mild AD.
SINCE THE INITIAL reports of a profound reduction of cortical choline acetyltransferase and cholinergic neuronal loss in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD),1,2 substantial evidence implicates cholinergic hypofunction as a significant component of this disorder. However, recent evidence indicates that cholinergic deficits are not severe in mild AD and become significant only in more advanced stages of this disorder.3- 5
The development of positron emission tomographic (PET) technology to measure AChE functional activity offers the prospect of studying cholinergic innervation in vivo at the early stages of neurodegenerative disorders.6 Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in the human AD-affected brain has been mapped using PET and 1-[11C]methylpiperidin-4-yl propionate ([11C]PMP) and N-[11C]methylpiperidine-4-yl acetate radioligands.7,8 These PET studies reported in vivo reductions of cortical AChE activity that were less than expected on the basis of postmortem data.7- 9
Dementia in Parkinson disease (PD) is common, but its precise pathophysiological substrates are not well understood.10 Significant loss of cholinergic forebrain neurons has also been reported in PD-affected brains.11,12 Arendt et al13 found greater forebrain neuronal loss in patients with PD than in patients with AD, suggesting that cholinergic deficits may be at least as prominent in (late-stage) PD as in AD. The primary aim of this study was to compare in vivo cerebral AChE activity in patients with mild AD, parkinsonian dementia (PDem), and PD without dementia, and healthy controls (HCs).
The study involved 47 subjects (12 with AD, 14 with PDem, 11 with PD, and 10 HCs). There were no significant differences in mean (SD) age among the groups: those with AD, 74.3 (5.80) years; those with PDem, 72.8 (7.9) years; those with PD, 71.2 (7.9) years; and HCs, 70.0 (8.7) years; F = 0.67, P = .51). Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores (mean [SD]) were decreased in the groups with dementia with those with AD being 22.2 (4.6), those with PDem, 22.8 (5.7), those with PD, 27.3 (2.2), and HCs, 29.4 (0.7); (F = 8.30, P<.001) but the scores were not significantly different between the AD-affected and PDem-affected groups (t = 0.29, P = .56). The AD- and PDem-affected groups did not differ in mean (SD) scores on the Global Deterioration Scale with those with AD scoring 4.9 (0.7) and those with PDem, 5.0 (0.8) (t = 0.27, P.79),14 nor in years of education with those with AD scoring (mean [SD]) 12.8 (2.6) years and those with PDem, 13.5 (3.1) years (t = 0.61, P = .60). Sex distribution was different between groups: those with AD, 8 women and 4 men; those with PDem, 1 woman and 13 men; those with PD, 11 men; and HCs, 7 women and 3 men. However, previous AChE PET studies did not find sex differences in cerebral AChE activity.8
The PDem-affected group was evenly divided between patients classified as having idiopathic PD with dementia (n = 7) and those having dementia with Lewy bodies (n = 7). Idiopathic PD with dementia was diagnosed in patients having a history of idiopathic PD with incident dementia. Dementia with Lewy bodies was clinically diagnosed following the Consortium on Dementia With Lewy Bodies' criteria.15 Mini-Mental State Examination scores were not significantly different between those who had idiopathic PD with dementia and those who had dementia with Lewy bodies (mean [SD], 23.9 [5.5] and 21.7 [6.1], respectively; t = 0.68, P = .46). No subjects were taking anticholinergic drugs. The patients with PDem were taking a variable combination of carbidopa-levodopa, selegeline hydrochloride, or dopamine agonists. Dopaminergic medications were withheld for at least 12 to 18 hours (overnight withdrawal) prior to PET imaging the next morning.
Each subject underwent a comprehensive neurological and neuropsychological examination. Subjects were diagnosed as having dementia if they met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition and/or NINCDS-ADRDA (National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke–Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association) criteria for dementia.16,17 Patients with AD were recruited from the Alzheimer Disease Research Center, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pa. Patients with PD or PDem were recruited from the movement disorders clinics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the Veterans Administration Healthcare System, Pittsburgh. The results of the neurological examination of the HCs showed no abnormalities. The study was approved by the institutional review boards of the medical centers.
The [11C]PMP radioligand is an acetylcholine analogue that serves as a selective substrate for AChE hydrolysis.6 The hydrolyzed radioligand becomes trapped as a hydrophilic product locally in the brain following the AChE biodistribution. Acetylcholinesterase has been recognized since 1966 as a reliable marker for brain cholinergic pathways including the human brain.18,19 Acetylcholinesterase is localized predominantly in cholinergic cell bodies and axons. In the cortex, AChE is present in axons innervating it from the basal forebrain.19 There also is AChE in intrinsic cortical neurons and low levels of AChE are probably present in the noncholinergic structures postsynaptic to the nucleus basalis innervation.20 These data support the validity of [11C]PMP PET as a reliable marker of the forebrain cholinergic system.
The [11C]PMP was prepared using a previously described method.21 Dynamic PET scanning was performed for 80 minutes following a bolus intravenous injection of 15 mCi (555 MBq) of [11C]PMP. Sequential emission scans were obtained in 3-dimensional imaging mode using an emission computed axial tomograph (ECAT HR+; CTI PET Systems, Knoxville, Tenn), which acquires 63 transaxial slices (slice thickness, 2.4 mm with an in-plane resolution of 4.1 mm). A thermoplastic mask was made for each subject to minimize head movement. The PET emission data were corrected for attenuation, scatter, and radioactive decay.
A volumetric spoiled–echo gradient recall MRI was collected for each subject using a 1.5-T scanner (Signa; GE Medical Systems, Milwaukee, Wis). The MRI data were cropped in preparation for alignment with the PET data using AnalyzeAVW software (Biomedical Imaging Resource; Mayo Foundation, Rochester, Minn).
The frames of the dynamic [11C]PMP PET data set were individually aligned to eliminate interframe registration errors attributable to patient movement using the automated image registration algorithm of Woods et al.22 The cropped MRI was registered to the PET data using a modified version of automated image registration.23 The registered MRI and the Co-Planar Stereotaxic Atlas of the Human Brain by Talairach and Tournoux24 were used to identify regions of interest (ROIs). The frontal ROI was drawn on the MRI to include dorsolateral prefrontal association (5 slices), anterior cingulate (7 slices), and orbitofrontal cortices (4-5 slices). The parietal ROI included both superior (4 slices) and inferior posterior (4 slices) lateral parietal association cortices. The lateral temporal ROI included the superior (4 slices) and inferior (3 slices) lateral association cortices. Separate ROIs were drawn over the amygdala (3-4 slices) and hippocampus (3-4 slices). All MRI-drawn ROIs were transferred to the PET data. Average neocortical [11C]PMP k3 (hydrolysis rate) activity was calculated as a composite score from frontal, parietal, and lateral temporal association cortices. A noninvasive kinetic analysis of the k3 hydrolysis rate (AChE activity) was performed using a direct estimation of k3 without use of an arterial input function, based on the shape of the tissue time–activity curve alone.25 The shape analysis method has been compared with the more standard compartmental analysis using arterial input functions and nonlinear least squares estimation, and it showed that the noninvasive shape analysis approach gave similar results to kinetic analysis in the brain cortex.25 Analysis of variance with Duncan post hoc tests was used for statistical group comparison.
Average and regional neocortical AChE activities for the different groups are shown in Table 1. Compared with HCs patients with PDem showed the greatest reductions in average frontal, parietal, and temporal neocortical [11C]PMP k3 hydrolysis rates (−20.0%) in the disease groups, followed by patients with PD without dementia (−12.9%; P<.001). Patients with AD had the smallest cortical reductions (−9.1%), with the exception of the lateral temporal neocortex. Temporal subregion analysis revealed greater reductions in the inferior lateral temporal cortex than the superior regions in all groups compared with HCs: those with PDem, −27.2%; those with PD, −22.5%; and those with AD, −17.6% (F = 8.29, P<.001; Figure 1). There were no significant left-right hemispheric differences observed. Right-sided hippocampal AChE activity was significantly reduced only in PDem-affected patients but tended to be lower in the AD-affected group compared with HCs (Table 1).
Percentage reductions of cerebral acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in the various patient groups compared with healthy control subjects.
Compared with HCs, both patients who had dementia with Lewy bodies and patients who had idiopathic PD with dementia showed significant reductions in mean (SD) neocortical [11C]PMP k3 hydrolysis rates (0.0185 [0.002] and 0.0186 [0.002], respectively; t = 0.5, P = .91). There were no significant differences in average or regional neocortical AChE activity between the dementia with Lewy bodies and idiopathic PD with dementia groups (Table 1). There was a nonsignificant trend toward reduced amygdalar activity in the dementia with Lewy bodies group (t = 1.6, P = .15).
Our in vivo imaging findings that patients with mild AD (most of whom had late-onset disease) do not have severe reductions in cortical AChE activity levels are in agreement with recent AChE PET imaging studies.8,26 Kuhl et al8 found slightly greater cortical AChE activity reductions (−25% to −33%), but these AD-affected patients also had more severe dementia (mean MMSE score, 14). Our findings of more significant reductions in the lateral temporal lobe in the AD-affected group are congruent with results from postmortem data showing marked loss of cholinergic fibers within the temporal lobe, particularly the temporal association areas, in AD-affected brains.9
Dementia in PD has often been attributed to coexistent AD.10 However, cognitive impairment has been found to correlate with cortical choline acetyltransferase levels but not with the extent of plaque or tangle formation in PD.27,28 Therefore, degeneration of the cholinergic system may play a significant role in the cognitive decline in PD. Previous imaging studies have reported cholinergic deficits in patients with PD.29,30 Our study demonstrated that cortical AChE deficits were greatest and more extensive in PDem compared with AD of approximately equal degree of dementia severity. A novel finding was that cortical AChE activity in the patients with PD was intermediate between the PDem- and AD-affected groups. Our findings agree with postmortem evidence suggesting that a primarily basal forebrain cholinergic system degeneration appears early in PD and then worsens with the onset of dementia.31
Findings of reduced radioligand activity in patients with dementia raise questions about the effect of partial volume effects due to cerebral atrophy. Koeppe et al25 have discussed how the shape analysis approach, which inherently is entirely insensitive to the scale of the data, is nearly unaffected by tissue atrophy. In addition, Kuhl et al8 have demonstrated that cortical AChE activity did not change as a result of changes in blood flow and that cerebral atrophy had little influence on the measures of cortical AChE activity. As cortical AChE activity reductions in the patients with PD without dementia were generally greater than in patients with AD, these cholinergic reductions are unlikely to be explained by partial volume effects.8
Although prevailing diagnostic criteria for dementia with Lewy bodies distinguish it from AD and idiopathic PD with dementia, it is unclear whether dementia with Lewy bodies and idiopathic PD with dementia are part of the same disease spectrum or are distinct disorders. Our data show that average neocortical cholinergic denervation does not differ between patients with idiopathic PD with dementia and patients with dementia with Lewy bodies and support the view that idiopathic PD with dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies lie on a common disease spectrum with respect to cholinergic pathophysiology.
In conclusion, these findings support a cholinergic model of dementia that may be more applicable to PDem than prototypical AD.

Oh yes, I was up till 3 am this morning. I did a lot of ripping out but was determined to get them right. I finished up today but I'm really tired. They were time consuming but fun once I got the hang of it.
