The new Logan McRae novel from the No. 1 bestselling author of Close of the Bone and A Song for the Dying.
One mistake can cost you everything…When you catch a twisted killer there should be a reward, right? What Acting Detective Inspector Logan McRae gets instead is a 'development opportunity' out in the depths of rural Aberdeenshire.
Welcome to divisional policing - catching drug dealers, shop lifters, vandals and the odd escaped farm animal.
Then a little girl's body washes up just outside the sleepy town of Banff, kicking off a massive manhunt. The Major Investigation Team is up from Aberdeen, wanting answers, and they don't care who they trample over to get them.
Logan's got enough on his plate keeping B Division together, but DCI Steel wants him back on her team. As his old colleagues stomp around the countryside, burning bridges, Logan gets dragged deeper and deeper into the investigation.
One thing's clear: there are dangerous predators lurking in the wilds of Aberdeenshire, and not everyone's going to get out of this alive…

Even better the second time
With a dead-on ear for MacBride's humor and humanity, Worsley captures the author's characters beautifully. I read the e-book first because the audio wasn't available for some time, and found that I really missed the Scottish accent. He's the perfect voice for both Logan and Steele, no small trick.
Everything about Logan's steadfast devotion to the comatose shell that was Samantha is moving for me, more so because MacBride avoids being maudlin or overly sentimental.
I love this series. Sometimes when I've come off a bad streak of disappointing mysteries I go back and re-listen to one of the Logan Macrea novels - like a breath of fresh air, they are by turns tragic, horrifying, laugh-out-loud funny, always wonderfully written and driven by a truly heroic, flawed central character. Always leaves me wanting more.

Steal Of The Day: Lib Technologies T.Rice Banana Hammock TTTR Snowboard $395
Today's steal of the day comes from Department of Goods where you can get a New Lib Tech T Rice Banana Hammock for $395 instead of $659.95. A great deal on getting one of the best powder boards on the market to give you a floater for hopefully all the pow next winter. So go save now before its too late and you are stuck paying full price!
If you consistently access insanely deep, completely untracked powder lines—whether via foot, snowmobile, snowcat, or helicopter—Lib Tech's T.Rice Banana Hammock TTTR Snowboard is a worthy addition to your quiver. The ovalized tip-to-tail rocker shape delivers outrageous float in the most bottomless powder—and pretty much zero control on hardpack. It'll change your life in the deep stuff, but possibly end your life if you try to ride it on the firm stuff. Don't say we didn't warn you.
- 'Powder Only' tip-to-tail rocker profile for absurdly awesome float
- Oval reverse-sidecut shape for zero drag and maximum planing power
- Twin shape for superior stompability in either direction
- Medium-stiff flex handles big landings without compromising float
- Eco-friendly bio-plastic topsheet made from castor beans
- Sintered base for durability and speed
- Seriously though, POWDER ONLY—this is a quiver board, if you try to ride it on groomers then you'll be sorry
Bottom Line:
Ultimate float in the deepest pow.

RALEIGH, N.C. - Erik Cole scored 26 seconds in, and Josef Vasicek and Rod Brind'Amour added key power-play goals to lead the Carolina Hurricanes to a 5-1 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers on Thursday night.
Carolina snapped a nine-game winless streak against Southeast Division opponents, dating to Feb. 14, and extended its home unbeaten streak to four (3-0-1).
The Hurricanes came in next-to-last in the NHL with the man advantage, but were able to score three power-play goals for the first time this season in rebounding from a 7-1 loss at Washington on Wednesday.
Ron Francis added Carolina's third power-play goal with 5:52 left on a two-man advantage. Kevyn Adams rounded out the scoring two minutes later.
Meanwhile, Atlanta, off to its best start in franchise history, fell to 2-5-1 in its last eight.
Ilya Kovalchuk, the NHL's leading goal scorer with 13, was held without a point in consecutive games for the first time this season.

kind-of-but-not-really confirmation that a new installment of the Hitman franchise was in the works, perhaps you'll be won over by some additional, recently uncovered evidence. IO Interactive's Rasmus Hoejengaard, Damien Simper and Theo Engell-Nielsen all listed Hitman 5 on their LinkedIn resumes, the latter of which includes a 2011 launch window for the unannounced title.
We're not sure what stronger evidence we could find for the project's existence, aside from, like, time traveling into the future and bringing back a finished copy of the game. Can anyone get on that?

[tlm724] I am not exactly sure what the federal revenue law is however I did find the below transcript from Iraq: Oil and Gas Legislation,Revenue Sharing, and U.S. Policy
Updated October 2, 2007
This MAY be what this law is but again I am not 100% sure Wink
Iraqi leaders continue to debate a package of hydrocarbon sector and revenue sharing legislation that would define the terms for the future management and development of the country's significant oil and natural gas resources.
The package includes an oil and gas sector framework law and three supporting laws that would outline revenue sharing, restructure Iraq's Ministry of Oil, and create an Iraqi National Oil Company.
Both the Bush Administration and Congress consider the passage of oil and gas sector framework and revenue sharing legislation as important benchmarks that would indicate the current Iraqi government's commitment to promoting political reconciliation and long term economic development in Iraq.
Draft Revenue Sharing Law
Article 112 of the Iraqi constitution sets qualitative criteria for the distribution of oil and gas revenues and requires the Iraqi parliament to pass a law regulating revenue distribution. In February 2007, some officials in Baghdad and Washington indicated that a broad agreement to share oil revenues among regions based on population had been reached.
However, Iraqi leaders continued to negotiate the terms of the draft revenue sharing law through June 2007. In line with the constitutional requirement, a separate draft revenue sharing law has been prepared as a component of the hydrocarbon legislative package currently under consideration.
According to a draft of the revenue sharing law published by the Kurdistan Regional Government on June 20, 2007,10 the federal government would be empowered to collect all oil and gas revenue, with the stipulation that all funds be deposited into external and internal accounts based on their source.
The federal government would have priority to allocate the funds in the accounts to support national priorities such as defense and foreign affairs, "provided that this does not impact the balance and needs of the governments of the Regions and the Governorates which are not organized in a region."
The remainder of the accounts would be distributed to regions and governorates automatically, on a monthly basis, based on agreed population-density-based percentages until a census can be completed.
The Kurdistan Regional Government would receive a 17% share of the remaining funds deposited in two accounts at the Central Bank of Iraq branch in Irbil.11 No specific provision is made in the draft for addressing requirements to meet the needs of "damaged regions" as required by Article 112 of the constitution.
The draft revenue law also would create a "Commission of Monitoring the Federal Financial Resources" composed of central government officials, experts, and representatives of each region and governorate.
The Commission would monitor deposits and allocations from the central revenue fund, in addition to facilitating international audits and producing monthly, quarterly, and annual transparency reports.
Article 7 of the draft revenue law reiterates the call for the establishment of a "Future Fund" for surplus revenue, but states that the operation of such a fund should be defined in a separate piece of legislation following further negotiation among federal, regional, and governorate representatives.
MP Araji suggests directing funds reduce the salaries of the three presidencies to serve the popular crowd
[tlm724] proposed National Alliance MP Qassem al-Araji, Thursday, directing the money that will be available because of the salaries of the three presidencies and those with special service for the popular crowd

Parliamentary investment: optimistic about the government's economic steps
[tlm724] submit a draft commercial agencies law and regulation agencies and agents measures to ensure the protection of the Iraqi market from fraud and manipulation and control of commercial agencies of the neighboring countries and activating consumer complaints courts
and facilitate the means to achieve their rights and make the insurance product and professional responsibility in relation to the goods and services produced compulsory
in order to protect consumer rights and tighten the penal system of fines on counterfeit and fake goods and to create a system to monitor goods and ensure quality across the border crossings and re consideration of financial, tax and monetary policies.

New Digs for Liferay.com
Company Blogs November 29, 2012 By Ronald Sarayudej
Liferay.com is getting a facelift. Fresh theme, content, re-flowed flows - the whole 10 yards (why would anyone want to go only 9 yards, when it doesn't even get them a 1st down?). And we're not just going to change the site once, but we really want to focus on giving ourselves a new platform for analytics, A/B testing, and the flexibilty to make incremental site refreshes and improvements over the long and short haul. It's gonna be good.
Given our open source roots and thriving community - the more innovative "ah-HA!" ideas we can get (including ideas from you!) the better! And that's where we've started - by creating a sort of "new idea stew".
And quite the stew we have created. We've had dozens and dozens of meetings with all sides of our company, gathering as many dreams and ideas as possible from our partners, events team, training team, support folk, international offices - all across the Liferay map. Some feedback we heard came in resounding choruses ("Make the website less static! More interactive! And for goodness sake, more intuitive!"), and some ideas were new and ingenious, ("Turn the user dashboard into a one-stop shop for apps, license keys, news, suggested downloads, and everything that is hip and cool!").
So how does one gather so much feedback and make any sense of it? We needed a way to "connect the dots", to give each idea a chance, while still letting the common themes simmer to the top. Check it out - here's a draft of our affinity diagram (insert magic twinkly sounds and flowery hand motions).
Doesn't it look somewhat intimidating and professional?? Yeah... *long, dreamy sigh.. followed by being startled into sudden awareness* So yeah, the idea is to find all of the common issues/ideas and plop them into groupings - groupings that settle into bigger groupings, that snowball into top priorities for us to answer in our coming months of concept brainstorms, wireframes, and development. Hopefully something like this can help some of you if you're in the very same scenario for your company website. More updates to come!
We are still young in this re-designing endeavor, but we'd love to hear your ideas and hopefully add a post-it idea in your name. What do you want to see happen on liferay.com?

Examine the correlation of cardiorespiratory fitness with brain atrophy and cognition in early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD).
In normal aging physical fitness appears to mitigate functional and structural age-related brain changes. Whether this is observed in AD is not known.
Nondemented (n=64) and early-stage AD subjects (n=57) had MRI and standard clinical and psychometric evaluations. Peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak), the standard measure of cardiorespiratory fitness, was assessed during a graded treadmill test. Normalized whole brain volume, a brain atrophy estimate, was determined by MRI. Pearson's correlation and linear regression were used to assess fitness in relation to brain volume and cognitive performance.
Cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak) was modestly reduced in AD (34.7(5.0)ml/kg/min) vs. nondemented subjects (38.1(6.3)ml/kg/min, p=0.002). In early AD, VO2peak was associated with whole brain volume (beta=0.35, p=0.02) and white matter volume (beta=0.35, p=0.04) after controlling for age. Controlling for additional covariates of sex, dementia severity, physical activity, and physical frailty did not attenuate the relationships. VO2peak was associated with performance on delayed memory and digit symbol in early AD but not after controlling for age. In nondemented participants, there was no relationship between fitness and brain atrophy. Fitness in nondemented participants was associated with better global cognitive performance (r=0.30, p=0.02) and performance on Trailmaking A and B, Stroop, and delayed logical memory but not after controlling for age.
Increased cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with reduced brain atrophy in AD. Cardiorespiratory fitness may moderate AD-related brain atrophy or a common underlying AD-related process may impact both brain atrophy and cardiorespiratory fitness.
Studies in cognitively normal older adults suggest that maintaining physical fitness may oppose functional and structural changes of the brain that occur with normal aging.1, 2 Less is known about the role of exercise and fitness in pathological brain states, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). A recent meta-analysis of studies utilizing various exercise techniques found evidence that exercise provides some benefits to individuals with dementia3 although studies assessing exercise in AD have produced mixed results.4-8 Animal study data suggest that physical activity can decrease the neuropathological burden in a mouse model of AD.9 Whether exercise and fitness modify the disease process underlying AD in humans remains unknown.
Studies on physical activity and exercise often rely on self-reported activity measures and are thus limited by a lack of standard and objective definitions of physical activity.10 Maximal treadmill testing to determine peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) is the standard measure of cardiorespiratory fitness. Cardiorespiratory fitness is closely related to physical activity level11 and is stronger than self-reported physical activity as a predictor of many health outcomes.12 At least one study has demonstrated that healthy older adults with higher cardiorespiratory fitness have lower rates of cognitive decline over 6 years than individuals with lower cardiorespiratory fitness.13 There is little data on cardiorespiratory fitness in AD, particularly in the early stages of the disease. Thus, we performed a cross-sectional study examining cardiorespiratory fitness in relation to brain structure and cognition in individuals in the earliest clinical stages of AD and nondemented controls. We hypothesized that increased cardiorespiratory fitness would be associated with less brain atrophy and higher cognitive performance in early AD.
Nondemented (Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) 0, n = 64) and early-stage AD subjects (CDR 0.5 and 1, n = 57) aged 60 and over were enrolled in the University of Kansas Brain Aging Project. The CDR 0.5 (n = 45) and CDR 1 (n = 12) participants together represent early-stage AD. Study exclusions include neurologic disease other than AD, diabetes mellitus (defined as a clinical diagnosis and use of an anti-diabetic agent), history of ischemic heart disease (acute coronary artery event, angina), schizophrenia, clinically significant depressive symptoms, abnormalities in B12, RPR, or thyroid function, use of antipsychotic and investigational medications, and significant visual or auditory impairment, systemic illness, or orthopedic issues that could impair completion of the study.
The clinical assessment included a semi-structured interview with the participant and with a collateral source knowledgeable about the participant. Diagnostic criteria for AD require the gradual onset and progression of impairment in memory and in at least one other cognitive and functional domain.14 The presence or absence of dementia, and its severity if present, was determined using the CDR.15 These methods have a diagnostic accuracy for AD of 93%,16 are sensitive to detecting the earliest stages of AD by focusing on intraindividual change rather than comparison with group norms17 and are accurate in identifying the subset of individuals meeting criteria for MCI who have early stage AD.18 Only CDR 0, 0.5, and 1 subjects were enrolled into this study. The CDR sum of boxes was used as a measure of dementia severity.
Medications, past medical history, education, and demographic information were collected from the collateral source by the nurse clinician. A standard physical and neurological examination was performed to assess abnormalities in visual fields, cranial nerves, motor strength, sensation, reflexes, plantar responses, coordination, praxis, and gait.
A trained psychometrician administered a psychometric battery including standard measures of memory (WMS-R Logical Memory I and II19, Free and Cued Selective Reminding Task20), language (Boston Naming Test - 15 item21), working memory (WMS III Digit Span Forwards and Backwards19, WAIS Letter-number sequencing22), executive function (Trailmaking A and B,23 Verbal Fluency (animals, fruits and vegetables), and Stroop Color-Word Test24), and visuospatial ability (WAIS Block Design22). The mini-mental status examinantion (MMSE)25 was administered as a measure of global cognition. Additionally, all cognitive performance scores were converted to z-scores (with higher scores representing better performance) based on the mean and standard deviation of all nondemented and early AD subjects. The mean of each participant's performance z-scores was determined to create an index of global cognitive performance.
VO2peak, the standard measure of cardiorespiratory fitness, was measured during a symptom-limited graded treadmill test, as previously described.26 Subjects were attached to a 12-lead electrocardiograph to monitor cardiac stability and wore a non-rebreathing facemask. Subjects began walking at a pace of 1.7 miles per hour at 0% grade. Every two minutes the speed or grade was increased according to a protocol designed for a geriatric population.27 Blood pressure and the participant's self-assessment of exertion using the 15-point Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion scale28 were acquired during the last 30 seconds of each 2-minute stage. Heart rates were recorded every 15 seconds. Expired air was measured for oxygen and carbon dioxide at 15-second intervals using a Parvomedics system. Gas calibrations were performed on the metabolic cart before each test according to the specifications of the manufacturer.
VO2peak was considered the highest observed value during the test.29 Participant effort during the treadmill test was assessed with measures of the respiratory exchange ratio (value ≥1.0 considered near-maximal effort30) and 17 individuals were excluded for not attaining an RER≥1.0 (six nondemented vs. 11 early AD subjects, p=0.17). Subjects excluded for an RER<1.0 were predominantly women (14 women and three men) and tended to be older than those achieving an RER≥1.0 (77.5 (7.1) vs. 73.5 (6.5) years, p=0.04). There was no difference in global cognition, MMSE, and dementia severity in those excluded vs. those achieving an RER≥1.0.
The primary fitness measure was VO2peak normalized by lean mass determined by DEXA scanning (Lunar Corporation). This measure was chosen as our primary fitness measure for several reasons. Normalizing VO2peak for lean mass is more physiologic than indexing for body weight29 given that 95% of oxygen consumption during exercise occurs in exercising muscles (i.e., lean mass). Additionally, VO2peak normalized by lean mass minimizes gender differences in VO2peak. For instance, gender differences were not evident in our overall cohort (n=121) for VO2peak normalized by lean mass (37.1 (6.8) in men vs. 36.1 (5.1) ml/kg/min in women, p=0.37) while robust gender differences are present when normalizing VO2peak for total body weight (24.4 (5.2) in men vs. 19.9 (3.6) ml/kg/min in women, p<0.0001).
The participant's level of habitual physical activity was estimated using the Physical Activity Scale in the Elderly (PASE). The PASE is a reliable and valid measure of physical activity and physical function developed specifically for older individuals.31 The PASE assesses an individual's level of physical activity within the last seven days as an estimate of habitual physical activity. We modified the PASE by administering it to the subject's study partner for both nondemented and AD subjects. The Physical Performance Test is a short battery of timed physical tasks serving as a composite measure of physical performance and used to assess physical frailty. The modified Physical Performance Test32 includes 1) writing a sentence, 2) simulated eating, 3) lifting a book and placing it on a shelf above shoulder height, 4) putting on and removing a jacket, 5) picking up a penny from the floor, 5) turning 360 degrees and 7) walking 50 feet, 8) chair rises and 9) a progressive Romberg test.
Structural MRI was obtained using a Siemens 3.0 Tesla Allegra MRI scanner at the Hoglund Brain Imaging Center. High-resolution T1 weighted anatomic images were acquired to provide detailed gross anatomy with high gray-white matter contrast (MP-RAGE; 1x1x1mm voxels; TR=2500, TE=4.38, TI=1100, FOV 256X256 with 18% oversample, 1mm slice thickness, flip angle=8 degrees). Normalized Whole Brain Volume was computed for each image session using a validated set of imaging tools from FMRIB Software Library (FSL; www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl). The images were pre-processed and skull-stripped using Brain Extraction Tool (BET). The skull stripped images were then segmented into white matter, gray matter, and cerebrospinal fluid using FMRIB's Automated Segmentation Tool (FAST) by registering them to a Montreal Neuroimaging Institute avg152 template. Image processing was conducted utilizing the Laboratory of Neuroimaging Pipeline (University of California Los Angeles, www.pipeline.loni.ucla.edu). Normalized volumes for white matter, gray matter, and whole brain (sum of white and gray matter) were calculated by dividing each by the total intracranial volume (the sum of white, gray, and cerebrospinal fluid volumes) and expressed as the percent of total intracranial volume. Normalized brain volumes minimize gender differences and produce an estimate of brain atrophy. As expected, normalized whole brain volumes were not related to gender (77.1% (3.3) in women vs. 76.9% (3.4) in men, p=0.76), lending validity to the normalization procedure.
Analyses were conducted using SPSS 15.0. Continuous variables were summarized by means and standard deviations while categorical variables were summarized by frequency and percent. Student's T-test was used to compare continuous demographic and imaging variables in early AD and nondemented groups. A chi square test was used to compare categorical variables. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated to assess simple relationships between variables. Linear regression was used to assess the relationships between variables while controlling for covariates. A univariate general linear model was used to examine for the presence of group × VO2peak in predicting brain volume. To account for the apparent differential relationship between fitness and brain volume across groups (group × VO2peak interaction, see results), we conducted all analyses within diagnostic groups (early AD and nondemented subjects separately) as opposed to the entire cohort combined. To minimize the confounding influence of age-related changes in brain volume we controlled all analyses for age.
Table 1 summarizes the characteristics of the nondemented and AD groups. The mean age of the cohort (n = 121) was 73.5 (6.5) years with no difference between nondemented and early-stage AD groups. Individuals in the early AD group had mild global cognitive dysfunction with a mean MMSE score of 26.2. Whole brain atrophy was apparent in the early AD group, with whole brain differences primarily related to group differences in gray matter volume, consistent with studies suggesting gray matter is more vulnerable to AD than white matter.33, 34 Whole brain volume was associated with global cognitive performance (r=0.53, p<0.001) and MMSE performance (r=0.33, p<0.001).
Modest group differences in cardiorespiratory fitness were observed between AD (34.7 (5.0) ml/kg/min) and nondemented groups (38.1 (6.3) ml/kg/min, p=0.002). Group means of peak heart rate and RER were consistent with maximal effort (i.e., 90% of predicted maximum heart rate (220 - age) and RER≥1.1 for both groups). The duration of exercise testing to achieve VO2peak was lower in the early AD group than nondemented participants.
The role of dementia severity on treadmill testing was examined by assessing the correlation between dementia severity (CDR box score) and measures of effort and VO2peak in the early AD group. Dementia severity was not related to VO2peak (r=-0.09, p=0.49), RER (r=-0.01, p=0.94), peak heart rate (r=0.14, p=0.30), exercise duration (r=-0.16, p=0.25), and rating of perceived exertion (r=-0.12, p=0.37).
Simple correlations were first examined between VO2peak, brain atrophy, and cognition (table 2). Given the presence of a group × VO2peak interaction in predicting whole brain volume (p=0.004), all analyses were performed within diagnostic groups (i.e., nondemented and early AD) rather than the overall group combined. VO2peak was associated with whole brain volume in early AD (r=0.54, p<0.001; figure 1) but not nondemented controls (r=0.18, p=0.17, figure 2). In early AD, fitness was associated with both white matter volume (r=0.39, p = 0.003) and gray matter volume (r=0.36, p=0.007) with higher fitness levels associated with increased brain volume.
Next, these relationships were assessed when controlling for the effect of age (table 1) and other covariates. In early AD, controlling for age did not attenuate the relationship of fitness with whole brain volume (beta=0.35, p=0.02) and white matter volume (beta=0.35, p=0.04). Additionally, controlling for age and individual covariates of gender, dementia severity (CDR sum of boxes), physical activity level, and a measure of physical frailty (physical performance test) did not alter the relationship of fitness with whole brain volume and white matter volume. An overall model including all covariates did not alter the relationship between fitness and whole brain volume (beta=0.30, p=0.03) and partially attenuated the relationship of fitness and white matter volume (beta=0.27, p=0.096). After controlling for age, there was no relationship between fitness and gray matter volume in the early AD participants. In nondemented participants, there was no relationship between fitness and whole brain, white matter and gray matter volumes after controlling for age.
Simple correlations between VO2peak and overall cognitive performance were assessed first. In early AD, VO2peak was not associated with global cognitive performance or performance on the MMSE. On specific cognitive tasks, VO2peak was associated with performance on delayed memory (logical memory II, r=0.30, p=0.02) and digit symbol (r=0.37, p=0.05) in early AD although these associations were not present when controlling for age. In nondemented controls, VO2peak was associated with global cognitive performance (r=0.30, p=0.02) with increasing fitness associated with higher global cognitive performance. On specific cognitive tasks, VO2peak in nondemented participants was most strongly associated with timed tasks of Trailmaking A (r=-0.32, p=0.01) and Trailmaking B (r=-0.25, p=0.005). Additionally, fitness was associated with performance on the Stroop interference task (r=0.30, p=0.02), a measure reflecting executive function, and performance on delayed memory (logical memory II; r=0.26, p=0.04). These associations, however, were primarily driven by age and were not present when controlling for the effect of age.
These results demonstrate a relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and brain atrophy in the earliest clinical stages of AD. Higher fitness levels in early AD participants were associated with preserved brain volume (less brain atrophy) independent of age and dementia severity. To our knowledge this is the first study to demonstrate a direct relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and measures of whole brain atrophy in AD. Previous structural neuroimaging studies assessed nondemented controls, rather than AD, using less direct methods (i.e., voxel-based morphometry) to demonstrate regional brain structure (as opposed to whole brain) relationships with fitness. Importantly, the causal nature of these associations cannot be determined due to the cross-sectional design. As a result at least three explanations for these findings exist: 1) cardiorespiratory fitness moderates AD-related brain atrophy, 2) the AD process itself modifies cardiorespiratory fitness, or 3) a common underlying factor modifies both AD-related brain atrophy and cardiorespiratory fitness.
First, the possibility that enhanced cardiorespiratory fitness may moderate AD-related brain changes is biologically-plausible and supported by animal studies. Higher fitness through increased physical activity has been associated with enhanced neuronal survival to brain insults,35, 36 increased vascularization,37 and elevations of growth factors in areas important for memory.38, 39 Physical activity increases neurogenesis in the hippocampus and enhances learning in mice.40 Additionally, evidence suggests that increased physical activity may modify the AD process. Increased physical activity in an AD mouse model was associated with decreased neuropathological burden in both cortical and hippocampal regions, suggesting that exercise may mediate the amyloid cascade in favor of reduced production of beta-amyloid.9 Our data is consistent with, but does not establish, cardiorespiratory fitness as a moderating factor in neurodegeneration.
A second explanation of the current results is that the AD process itself may modify an individual's fitness level resulting in fitness declines co-occuring with AD-related brain atrophy. Behavioral changes associated with the disease include reductions in physical activity26 which in turn may result in reduced fitness levels. Individuals with AD may also potentially have reduced effort or increased frailty limiting their ability to perform a maximal treadmill test although we found little influence of these factors on the association between fitness and brain atrophy in AD. For instance, controlling for physical activity level (PASE) and physical frailty (physical performance test) did not alter the relationship between fitness and brain atrophy. Additionally, severity of dementia (CDR box score) was not associated with cardiorespiratory fitness or physiologic measures of effort (RER and peak heart rate). All participants met criteria for peak effort (RER≥1.0) while peak heart rate and RER were consistent with maximal effort for both groups. Lastly, the 11 AD subjects excluded for not meeting peak effort criteria were not more severely demented or cognitively impaired than those meeting performance criteria suggesting that reduced effort was not related to dementia severity or cognitive impairment. These observations suggest the relationship between fitness and brain atrophy was not driven by the most severely demented of these early-stage AD subjects.
Third, it is possible that a common underlying AD-related process may impact both brain atrophy and cardiorespiratory fitness. Additionally, accumulating evidence suggests that AD may not only impact the brain but may have widespread systemic manifestations. For instance, mitochondrial dysfunction is evident in the CNS and periphery in AD43 and abnormalities in metabolic and biochemical processes described in AD brains are reported in peripheral cells such as skin fibroblasts derived from AD patients.44, 45 VO2peak represents the peak rate of metabolic activity (oxygen utilization) in exercising muscle (ml of oxygen consumed per minute per kg of muscle mass) and as such our findings of 1) reduced VO2peak in AD and 2) the correlation of VO2peak with brain atrophy in AD suggests the possibility of metabolic dysfunction co-occurring in brain and muscle. Another possibility is that fitness may modify vascular-related damage (such as white matter lesions and subclinical infarcts) known to influence both brain atrophy41 and cognitive symptoms of AD.42 Further study of the relationship between fitness and vascular-related damage is needed to assess this possibility.
The cross-sectional study design limits the interpretation of the results. Further longitudinal and interventional studies will be necessary to define the role of fitness in modifying the brain aging and AD process. Validated clinical methods were used for diagnosing AD although these methods are imperfect in predicting AD pathology. Additionally, although cardiorespiratory fitness is influenced by physical activity and exercise, this study only assessed the standard measure of cardiorespiratory fitness VO2peak at one point in time and therefore the data should be cautiously interpreted with respect to the role of exercise in early AD.

A Good Opportunity to Protect Southwest Colorado's Cultural Legacy
Op-Ed by CPANP Member Jane Anderson as published in The Durango Herald
Saturday, April 16, 2016
This is National Park Week. It is, especially in this centennial year of the National Park Service, a time to celebrate and reflect on our nation's cultural and natural heritage designated as national parks, monuments, historic sites and other protected places.
It is also an occasion to look forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for parks, especially here in Southwest Colorado.
The Coalition to Protect America's National Parks, composed of retired, former and current Park Service employees, is concerned about preserving the extraordinary qualities that our region's national parks and monuments offer. Those of us fortunate to live nearby are privileged to reside in an area so rich, not just in its rugged, natural beauty, but in its cultural story as well.
Places like Chimney Rock, Canyons of the Ancients, Hovenweep and Yucca House national monuments, and the centerpiece of our region, spectacular Mesa Verde National Park – also a UNESCO World Heritage Site – are important not only to Native Americans and archaeologists, but to all people. These special places are connected to one another, and to thousands of other sites within and outside of Southwest Colorado, through the shared legacy of the ancient Puebloan civilization that once inhabited this part of the world. And it is noteworthy that these sites and this landscape are still parts of living cultures revered as sacred to many southwestern Native American tribes.
Thanks to our remote and largely rural characteristics, locals and more than 500,000 annual visitors to Southwest Colorado's national parks and monuments, get to experience our region in much the same way as ancient peoples once did: Prized scenic vistas from Mesa Verde National Park remain unmarred by industrial development or other significant visual intrusions; night skies remain dark and starry because of low levels of nighttime activity and light pollution, as evidenced by Hovenweep's certification as a Dark Sky Park by the International Dark Sky Association; and there are many public lands and protected places we can escape to in order to observe only natural, wild sounds – or even quiet.
Our park management experience also tells us that protecting natural, cultural and scenic resources both in and adjacent to parks is crucial to ensuring the sustainability of an area's tourism-based economy. The year 2014 set a record for tourism in both La Plata and Montezuma counties, generating over $273 million and $85 million in travel spending, respectively, in those counties. Spending tied to Mesa Verde accounted for more than $60 million of this. In 2016, because of the centennial, many parks are expecting record visitation.
With the National Park Service turning 100 this year, we should be seizing every available opportunity to ensure that Southwest Colorado's exceptional parks and monuments remain protected into the next century.
One such opportunity is the prospect of creating a more deliberate approach to gas and oil development near protected places and cultural sites in our region through master lease planning. The Tres Rios Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management is currently considering initiating such a planning process, which could have dramatic benefits to the natural and cultural qualities within Mesa Verde and numerous, associated cultural sites. The coalition strongly supports moving ahead with a plan that takes into account lands in both Montezuma and La Plata counties, and the irreplaceable resources they contain.
Master lease plans implemented in Colorado and neighboring states have shown to balance development, where appropriate, with providing safeguards for scenic vistas, soundscapes and night skies, as well as for culturally valuable sites and sensitive natural resources, from the unintended impacts of gas and oil development. A master lease plan is one among many tools that would contribute to preserving those qualities that help connect the past to the present in Southwest Colorado's protected places, and across this distinctive cultural landscape.
If you haven't visited one of Southwest Colorado's parks or monuments lately, the Coalition to Protect America's National Parks encourages you to do so; and when you do, please consider how what is happening outside the park's boundaries could affect experiences inside the park – today and for the next hundred years.
During National Park Week from April 16-24, the Park Service is offering free admission to national parks, including Mesa Verde.
Jane Anderson is a member of the Coalition to Protect America's National Parks. She retired from the National Park Service in 2015 after a career that included numerous assignments, including serving as Project Manager for rehabilitation of the Chapin 5 Fire and Save America's Treasures at Mesa Verde. She currently lives in Dolores, Colorado.

Press for Parker
The Dorothy Parker Society's recent trip to The Algonquin has been written up in the new issue of THE L MAGAZINE:
Myths, though, are probably better judged by their endurance than their accuracy. And certainly these two have proven durable enough. It was in the spirit of the second, more sociable pole, then, that a group gathered recently at the bar of the Algonquin Hotel to honor that most iconic member of New York's literary in-crowd, Dorothy Parker.
Thanks to Adam Bonislawski for the nice plug!

From the letter (PDF) sent by the JoAnne Kloppenburg campaign to the Government Accountability Board:
1. Immediately address the matter of ballot security. Self-sealing tamperproof bags and envelopes would eliminate the pitfalls inherent in the current cumbersome ballot bagging and sealing process — a process that virtually invites human error or worse.
2. Institute a higher and more uniform level of training for clerks and for those dedicated community members who staff our polling places. The recount minutes abound in misconceptions, misinformation and mistakes when it comes to absentee ballot procedures, remade ballots, poll books reconciliation and other critically important election procedures.
3. Take steps to ensure greater transparency when it comes to reporting election results on election night. County Clerks should be mandated to report election results by municipality and they should all use the same software to tally results.
4. The office of County Clerk should be non-partisan. Maintaining voter confidence in the integrity of our election system requires providing assurance that everyone's vote will be duly counted. Having partisans oversee the election process, can, unfairly or not, create the appearance that politics, rather than fair play, determines election outcomes.
5. Wisconsin law should require Clerks to account for the number of ballots printed and delivered to each polling location, and the number of ballots unused on election night at each polling location. Current law does not require an accounting of the unused ballots and they are not audited as part of a recount.

Would you please do us the favor of naming the other books you've read on these subjects, and why your recommendations are superior to them? That would be much appreciated.

Kim & Chris - Destination Wedding in Maui
This is was a tough wedding to blog. There were so many great shots that it was tough for me to try and it edit them down. We ended up shooting 6,222 images at the wedding and filling nearly 60 gigabytes of CF cards. I photographed the wedding of Lindsey, Kim's sister, two years ago so there were a lot of familiar faces. It was also fun hearing from people how much they liked the photos. Everyone was so great to us and we had blast!
One of the bridesmaids brought a stunning Harry Winston diamond and saphire bracelet and diamond earings for Kim's mom to wear.
I told this bridesmaid that I probably wouldn't post this shot on my blog. And I probably wouldn't have except it was too fun a shot to pass up.
Chris, the groom.
And his father.
The ceremony site was high on a bluff above the Wailea Golf Club and with a gorgeous view of the ocean.
This shot kinda sums up the wedding. There was emotion, smiles and outright goofiness all at the same time.
After the wedding, we headed down to Big Beach in Makena just down the road from Wailea. There's no hotels or condos to muck up the pristine feeling of the long, soft-sand beach.
So we're leaving the beach after shooting the photos. A cop comes up to me and starts lecturing me about how I need to pay for a permit. I play dumb - which wasn't hard because I had no idea. I offer to leave but he says no go ahead and finish with your photos. I got this one last shot with him looking over my shoulder. I figured I'd probably be in trouble, but I'd rather be in trouble and get the shot than be in trouble and not.
Afterwards, he wanted to get my info. I tell him I'm from San Diego and so is everyone else. In the end, he let us off with a warning.
The reception was at the Seawatch Restaurant in Wailea. The coordinator was Beth Helmstetter who works in Hawaii and San Diego. Kim's mom mentioned to me how great a job she did.
One of the groomsmen, Jeff, not only sang and played guitar for the first dance, he wrote the song that morning. It was amazing.
We set up our photo booth and mayhem ensued.
Move over Charlie's Angels.

A chance for a few days' exploration in this wonderfully historical city.

We'll also enjoy included excursions during our stay to further explore this area. (B,D) Day Four - Bruges to UK
We retrace our steps back to Calais, returning to the UK and continuing home. (B)

Bruges centre
We visit the charming city of Ghent, comprising a mixture of French and Flemish, and often referred to as the historical heart of Flanders. Explore the narrow streets leading to fascinating squares during our excursion here.
Join us as we enjoy a scenic drive along the coast to reach the popular seaside resort of Ostend. You will have time at leisure to stroll along the beautiful promenade or relax at one of the many bars and restaurants, where you can sample one of the many beers Belgium is famed for.
Antwerp, with its attractive architecture and excellent history is a fantastic place to visit, and we're sure to enjoy our day spent there. We'll be able to look forward to everything from shopping to visiting attractions, and there'll be time to enjoy lunch at one of the many cafes or restaurants in the city as well.
There are a number of 'must-see' sights in the city, such as the Cathedral of Our Lady, Rubens House, the Museum aan de Stroom (MAS) and the Museum Plantin-Moretus. We'll be able to tour some of these attractions during our stay in the city, and will also be able to wander through the streets admiring the pretty architecture.
We'll take a trip to Ypres today to explore this incredibly historical town in Belgium. Ypres is home to a great many fascinating sights, such as the 13th century Cloth Hall and Saint Martin's Cathedral, which features remarkable Gothic architecture.
During our time in Ypres, we'll be able to tour these attractions at leisure, as well as enjoying walks through the town to see the local sights.
We'll make our way to Sluis in neighbouring Holland, where we'll have free time to explore this enticing town. With its popular shopping areas and lovely atmosphere, it's easy to fall in love with this excellent destination. Sluis is often thought of as the most Flemish town in the Netherlands, and its Flemish-style belfry certainly proves this!
Antwerp is the second largest city in Belgium, but it wasn't always this way. During this intriguing walking tour, we'll be able to find out more about how Antwerp has become the city it is today, by enjoying a tour of the city and its assorted highlights.
These include attractions such as the Cathedral of Our Lady, St. James' Church and St. Boniface Church, as well as particular areas of the city. Zurenborg, a popular area known for its art nouveau architecture, is often included, although the exact route of our walking tour may differ.
We'll also be able to find out more about the Marian statues which are dotted about the city, and will get to see some of them for ourselves.
Sluis, with its quaint atmosphere and typically Dutch style, is a wonderful place to visit. We'll travel to this town in the Netherlands on an optional excursion, and will have a few hours to explore its attractions. These include an eye-catching Gothic belfry and a stone mill.
Well-located within walking distance of the city's main sights and attractions, the Novotel Centrum has a pleasant bar and inviting restaurant. The hotel also has a garden with heated swimming pool.

A small bear goes for a stroll in the park with his parents, leaving their bowls of porridge cooling on the kitchen table. Meanwhile, a girl with golden hair is hopelessly lost in a big, frightening city when she comes across a house with the door left invitingly open. Inside are three bowls of porridge in the kitchen, three chairs in the living room, and three comfortable-looking beds upstairs, and no one seems to be home . . .
Browne's urban, contemporary take on the Goldilocks story brilliantly juxtaposes two artistic and narrative styles. One strand of the story is wordless, as sepia-toned panels show a girl--a hint of blond peeks from under her hoodie--and her mother walking along city streets; they become separated when the child chases after a balloon. Meanwhile, sunny pictures with softer lines and a pastel palette introduce a cheerful bear family, as the youngest bear narrates. As the trio strolls in the park while their porridge cools ("Daddy talked about his work and Mommy talked about her work. I just messed around"), the lost, worried girl enters their welcoming yellow house. The familiar story line plays out and, after the bears return, the startled child darts from the house into the rain-soaked city of graffiti, barbed wire, broken windows, and litter. Browne (My Brother) gives his Goldilocks a happy ending: she runs into her waiting mother's arms as the sun breaks out. The contrast between the threatening city and the bears' warm home adds a provocative layer to the story, underscoring the value and power of family. Ages 4–8. (Oct.)

Unanswered: Insert and update problems
First i wanna say hi since this is my very first post in this forum.
Now let's get to the subject.
I have some problems with my scripts and I hope to get an answer here. My script supposed to make an easy task. An insert into a table. And it worked very well until I changed the ODBC drivers into OLEDB drivers.
This is the part of the script where I get the error:
set objNouvCde = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objNouvCde.Open "DRW01FIC.DRTCDE", objConn, 2 , adLockPessimistic, adCmdTable
It works very well with this connection string :
"Provider=MSDASQL.1;Password=***;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=user;Data Source=DSN1"
but when I am using the OLEDB driver the connection string gets :
"Provider=IBMDA400.DataSource.1;Password=***;Persi st Security Info=True;User ID=user;Data Source=DSN2"
The error I get is
"ADODB.Recordset (0x800A0CB3)
Current Recordset does not support updating. This may be a limitation of the provider, or of the selected locktype."
Can anyone help? Is there some driver limitation and I can't get Dynamic cursor or stuff like that?
I am on a Windows 2000 server with IIS 5.0 and the DB is DB2/AS400

Perhaps try changing this:
objNouvCde.Open "DRW01FIC.DRTCDE", objConn, 2 , adLockPessimistic, adCmdTable
To be something more like this instead:
objNouvCde.Open "DRW01FIC.DRTCDE", objConn, 3 , adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable
And here's a related resource:

Thanks, but nope. I tried all the combinations of locktype and cursor types. I am affraid that it is some kind of incompatibility with this OLEDB driver.... (proider = IBMDA400.DataSource.1) Evthing works great withthe ODBC driver (but much slower)

In most instances, dead wildlife on personal property falls under the responsibility of the property owner. There are several options available to property owners when it comes to disposing of dead wildlife on their property:
Another aspect of finding dead wildlife on personal property is the game salvage rule, which allows people to legally salvage deer and elk carcasses in Washington State, except for any deer killed by a motor vehicle collision in Clark, Cowlitz, and Wahkiakum counties. For more information on the game salvage rule, see the FAQ in this WDFW help section.

text: Fantasy Flight Games, publishers of the acclaimed A Game of Thrones CCG and board game, have announced that the collectible card game will be radically revamped in the near future. Details of the announcement can be found at the card game's official site. In brief, the CCG will be revamped into a Living Card Game (LCG), with regular releases of fixed decks. The hope behind this is that it will lower the bar to entry for new players, for the most part remove the issue of collectibility (and associated high costs), renew stocking levels at stores, and more.
