A brief look back…
Feb 4, 2016 Uncategorized
Happy Thursday everybody. Here are a couple throwbacks from not far back. In fact these photos were from the fall of 2015. The first photo is of me and Tanja Bechtler performing at the beautiful Mint Museum in Uptown Charlotte. The acoustics in the Mint are a musicians dream. Tanja Bechtler performed on her 18th century cello. The tone on that instrument is incredible and it was a pure delight to witness her masterful playing from up close. The photo below is from the television interview I was privileged to give to promote the concert along with Tanja and classical guitar virtuoso Aris Quiroga. I was honored to be invited by Aris Quiroga and perform in such an illustrious night of music right in the heart of bustling uptown Charlotte. If you are ever in the Charlotte area I highly recommend visiting the Mint Museum. The third photo is me in my studio presenting a project I recorded percussion on. The Ethos Project Volume II was produced by Eric Lige (San Diego, CA) and Vahagn Stepanyan (Armenia). I will be posting a review on the project via the Heartbeat for Worship soon. Currently I am working on my new project as well as helping to produce a project for a dear friend Joe Keen. I am excited about what 2016 will bring. Until next time!

New Single
Dec 16, 2013 Uncategorized
You can now purchase the first song from upcoming album "Sacred Roots".
This song is a fusion of Cuban Latin percussion, Native American flute, pop-rock, with soulful vocals laying on a bed of warm electric guitar tones and jazzy keyboards.
The inspiration from the song comes from the scripture John 3:8.
Through the years I have been inspired in many ways by the beautiful colors of fall and the sounds the wind makes as it passes through dying leaves within the trees and also as they scrape across the ground. It is for me a very reflective time of year. To me it is a representation of change; of a time of transition. This song is about that… How many times do we get caught up in the busyness of life and miss so many precious moments and lessons. When we let go however, and take time to reflect and hear God's voice we are placed in a position to understand what it is Jesus was explaining to Nicodemus (John 3:8) all those many years ago…Como el Viento (Like the Wind)

Performance; Campbell University School of Divinity
Jun 27, 2012 blog, Uncategorized
A few months back I had the wonderful opportunity of assisting in worship on percussion for the Campbell University's School of Divinity Chapel. Prior to arriving on campus that morning I actually thought it was for the freshman. I was pleasantly surprised to discover it was actually for the Divinity school (I do love doing the freshman chapel service as well however).
Leading in worship (musically) was a good friend of mine and anointed musician Giles Blankenship. Giles has a unique way/gift of making you feel very comfortable in worship and the presence of the Lord. To discover his music or learn more about him visit www.gilesblankenship.com. I absolutely love worshiping with him. For the set I brought a cajon, foot pedal with tambourine bracket (I find this goes great with "CCM" type songs especially during the chorus), shakers, brushes for additional effects on the cajon, one conga, and some rattlers. It was an intimate service that I will most certainly not forget!
Also I had an opportunity to play again with one of my favorite guitarists Kyle Johnson. Kyle is on electric guitar on my latest project Flor de Vida.
The Campbell Chapel is an amazing venue. If you are ever near the campus you should stop by and check it out. The combination of cathedral ceilings, cedar wood beams, tall clear glass pane windows and stained glass make for a breathtaking view during the day from inside the chapel. The chapel is literally flooded with light during a clear sunny day. It was so beautiful to play those slow worship songs and to look out and see the light breaking through the room… breathtaking… Above is an actual photo from a rehearsal prior to the service.
I will never forget spotting a young lady sitting by herself meditating during the worship while we ministered in song. I love experiencing moments like that.
Why I play the Congas Part 1
Jun 7, 2012 blog, Uncategorized
I know you may be wondering why there are no congas in this photo, but do not worry we will get to that…
I have been playing percussion now for about 13 years. Although I have an intense love for music and instruments from all over the world, the congas have a special and unique place reserved in my heart. For me, as a music lover, playing the congas is a calling. I love the violin, the piano, banjo, harmonica, guitar, etc. but the sound of percussion speaks to me on a personal intimate level that is hard for me to explain. For me the love of music is perhaps more about harmony than anything else. Thats why I love making music on everything from wine glasses to pots and pans (seriously). Of course I could go on about this and get really "artsy" and abstract in my explanation…but I won't (at least not now anyways haha). The reason I wrote this blog is not only to share my love for a particular instrument or sound but to encourage someone else who may be a lover of all things percussion, or anything that seems to abide in obscurity for that matter. I have often wrestled with the thought that I was made to be felt as inferior by others since I chose the congas as opposed to the piano or guitar. I have come to learn that over the years this has been probably more my own insecurities than anything else. I have however encountered many people from all walks of life who play the instrument and feel the same way. I have met many people who have come to learn the conga or percussion as a secondary instrument and later fell in love with it. Or they started playing percussion in church because someone was already on the drums. I really don't have either testimony. The conga was the first instrument I was serious about learning.
My love for the congas really started out as a love for the African style hand drums and World music in general. I am a worship artist and have been now for several years but initially my influences came from the likes of Paul Simon (Graceland) and Martin Cradick (Baka and Beyond), Gloria Estefan, James Taylor, Peter Gabriel, and probably way too many more to name (not to mention some that I may not know by name). These were my childhood influences and many included the sounds of world percussion. I was mystified by its infectious and visceral nature to make one want to dance. I still remember spending time with my father in the mall as an adolescent and the day he brought Martin Cradick's "Baka and Beyond" CD home. It changed my life and set me on a course of discovery. Little did I know that for me the deep passion and inquisitive mindset I had towards world music was really a hint to my calling. It would be a transitional moment for me and during a time in my life where I was heavily searching for identity. To this day if I hear that CD I am instantly carried away to that time in my life, with all the emotions, and memories of the era.
At the time I was also truly in love with reggae music and the various cultures of the Caribbean. With the help of my father I made African style necklaces with carvings (by my father and I) and different color beads. I knew my family (the Garcia side) was from Puerto Rico but as I was growing up in Southern California and not around anything to educate me of the folkloric music of the island, my passion for it was not yet existent. In fact I didn't even play an instrument at all. No, that would all come some years later. Music was to me something I loved but always approached as a lyricist; not instrumentalist.
Well, although I was falling in love more and more with the rhythm of the Afro-beat I was still completely ignorant to the drum itself (probably due to my overwhelming passion for sports mainly being track & field). Four months after enlisting in the Air Force at the ripe age of eighteen I was living in central Germany. It was traveling in Europe, where I would truly fall in love with the African drum and begin my journey into the world of Latin music more closely related to the land of my grandfather. I remember being on a trip to Spain in the city of Marbella and stopping off at a huge pottery store on the side of the road. In the back of my mind I was wondering if this place would have any type of drums but knew that was highly unlikely. As I walked through the isles of this huge pottery outlet I spotted it… high upon the top shelf; a beautiful handcrafted doumbek ( a Middle Eastern goblet drum). I pulled it down and brought it to the cashier and as the rest was history. Well I could go into detail on the rest but that would probably bore you.
That trip was the first time I can remember the passion to play the drum burn in my heart. On the way back to Germany we stopped in Venice, Italy. I remember staring through a large glass store window at a rope tuned african drum hanging from a display. The memory of it is still vivid and I look back on that time as the my conscious beginning of a road to discover the instrument I now love to play today.

Para leer en español, desplácese hacia abajo hasta la parte inferior. Perdonen mi español jejejej. Hablo mejor que escribo…
About two weeks ago now on memorial day weekend we did a video shoot for the song Heaven's Rainforest. Heaven's Rainforest is the last track on my latest CD Flor de Vida. We shot the video in the middle of the woods here in North Carolina… yes in the middle of the woods lol…
Thank God we did not encounter any snakes, black widows or bears. Well, I am sure to some of you (including our friendly woodsman and all around cool guy Kyle on guitar) encountering some very wild beasts would have been an added blessing haha. I admit it would have made the adventure even more exciting however even if we would have survived it my wife probably would never let me shoot another video in the woods again. bummer.
Heaven's Rainforest is a fusion track combining Latin percussion with flute, tibetan chimes, rainsticks, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and the sounds of the rainforest. The rhythm is a modern pop style version/adaptation of an Afro-Cuban bata pattern. It was my aim to make a track that had a mellow meditation or worship feel but somehow stay true to the musical theme of the project. Everything about this track says fusion to me; from coqui frogs (from Puerto Rico) in the very beginning, to the forest preserve sounds taken from Australia, to the flute and string pads recorded in Ireland, and pin chimes from Nepal, this song to me is like taking a trip around the world on a musical platter…
I am very much looking forward to sharing this new adventure with everyone. After the video is released we will also make a behind the scenes making of the video as well. Thank you guys for all of your continued support! Prayerfully this video will be released next week! Stay tuned for exact details.
Hace unas dos semanas ya los fines de semana Día de los Caídos que hicimos una sesión de vídeo para la selva tropical de la canción Cielo. Selva del cielo es la última pista en mi último CD de Flor de Vida. Grabamos el video en el medio del bosque, aquí en Carolina del Norte … sí en el centro de la lol maderas …
Gracias a Dios no nos encontramos con las serpientes, las viudas negras o los osos. Bueno, estoy seguro de que algunos de ustedes (incluyendo nuestro leñador amable y fresca en todo tipo de Kyle en la guitarra) tropieza con algunas bestias muy salvaje habría sido una bendición adicional jaja. Admito que habría hecho la aventura aún más emocionante sin embargo, incluso si hubiera sobrevivido a mi esposa probablemente nunca me hubiera dejado hacer otro vídeo en el bosque de nuevo. rollo.
Selva del Cielo es una pista de fusión que combina la percusión latina con la flauta, campanas tibetanas, palos de lluvia, guitarra acústica, guitarra eléctrica, y los sonidos de la selva. El ritmo es una versión pop de estilo moderno / adaptación de un modelo afro-cubana bata. Era mi objetivo de hacer una pista de que había una meditación o adoración siente suave pero de alguna manera fiel a la temática musical del proyecto. Todo acerca de este tema dice que la fusión para mí, de las ranas coquí (de Puerto Rico) en el principio, a la reserva forestal sonidos tomados de Australia, a la flauta y las pastillas de cadenas grabando en Irlanda, y el pasador de los carillones de Nepal, esta canción a mí es como tomar un viaje alrededor del mundo en un plato musical …
Estoy muy ilusionado de compartir esta nueva aventura con todo el mundo. Después del video se libera también vamos a hacer un detrás de cámaras que hacen del video. Gracias chicos por todo su apoyo! Con oración, este video será lanzado la próxima semana! Estén atentos para más detalles.

pancho -
Transferring into a joint program is tricky. Because most joint degrees allow you to use some credits at your non-JD degree toward your JD, plus the ABA requirement that you need to take a certain number of credits at the JD -degree-granting school, being a transfer and a joint degree student is difficult. It is not a good idea to plan this option from the beginning.
Julie Barton is the right person at HLS who coordinates the joint degree students, so she may be a good resource.
You should check the joint degree box and tell them that you are applying to both schools. There is no downside to it. HLS and HBS do not have access to each other's applicant databases, but Instinctive is right, they will eventually share that info but usually the applicant tells them first!
Is there anything I said that you would disagree with or needs correcting? Just want to make sure I don't tell someone else something that is wrong.

Review by akfarrar
Let me start by saying this is a jolly good read - and a great book to take on holiday to a Turkish beach, especially if you are off on a trip to Istanbul as part of your visit.I read it within three days of starting it - I was quickly dragged into the story and the pace builds up to a nice `want to know' ending.If you are 'into' the Historical detective story, this is almost as good as it gets. Plenty of historically accurate detail - the sort of `everyday detail' needed to spice up the story - food, clothing, buildings.And the essential characters are there: The not quite accepted by anyone `detective'; the manipulative bad-guy; an exotic beautiful temptress; and a tart-with-a-heart with a difference (one of my favourite characters I have to say).What this is is firmly `escapist' - but with a slightly educational twist - I did get a sense of what Istanbul must have been like, and a sense of the origins of the modern Turkish dilemma between secularism and tradition. If at times the writing felt too worthy, it only lasted a short time and we were soon back chasing fire-raisers through the seedy streets.This is not Orhan Pamuk - but it isn't meant to be.
Review by Kanikoski
It's difficult to pinpoint why I did not like this more. All the ingredients are there for a romping read: a clue-by-clue detective story, thriller-like action and twists, and even a (somewhat uncomfortable) passionate eunuch affair. But maybe the characters, lacking depth, were formed around the plot, rather than vice versa. Maybe there was more fat that could be cut from the story-telling. Whatever the reason, I found the book ultimately less than satisfying.
Review by wyvernfriend
Janissary TreeA detective novel where the investigator is a Eunuch, Yashim, who is investigating a murder in the Harem and four young cadets in the new army who have replaced the Janissaries. When the Janissaries were disbanded they weren't unsatisfied by the situation. All clues point at their involvement. However as he digs into the mystery he finds more questions than answers.It's an interesting look at Istanbul in 1836, a time of great change and social upheaval all throughout the western world. Istanbul continues to straddle the world of the West and the Middle East. I felt that the ending was a little rushed and really left me somewhat unsatisfied. However it was an interesting read and I look forward to reading more from this series.

We applied an Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) used on Wisconsin/Minnesota waters of the upper Mississippi River (UMR) to compare data from two systemic sampling programmes. Ability to use data from multiple sampling programmes could extend spatial and temporal coverage of river assessment and monitoring efforts. We normalized for effort and tested fish community data collected by the Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program-Great Rivers Ecosystems (EMAP-GRE) 2004-2006 and the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP) 1993-2006. Each programme used daytime electrofishing along main channel borders but with some methodological and design differences. EMAP-GRE, designed for baseline and, eventually, compliance monitoring, used a probabilistic, continuous design. LTRMP, designed primarily for baseline and trend monitoring, used a stratified random design in five discrete study reaches. Analysis of similarity indicated no significant difference between EMAP-GRE and LTRMP IBI scores (n=238; Global R=-0.052; significance level=0.972). Both datasets distinguished clear differences only between 'Fair' and 'Poor' condition categories, potentially supporting a 'pass-fail' assessment strategy. Thirteen years of LTRMP data demonstrated stable IBI scores through time in four of five reaches sampled. LTRMP and EMAP-GRE IBI scores correlated along the UMR's upstream to downstream gradient (df [3, 25]; F=1.61; p=0.22). A decline in IBI scores from upstream to downstream was consistent with UMR fish community studies and a previous, empirically modelled human disturbance gradient. Comparability between EMAP-GRE (best upstream to downstream coverage) and LTRMP data (best coverage over time and across the floodplain) supports a next step of developing and testing a systemic, multi-metric fish index on the UMR that both approaches could inform. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Wetlands | Year: 2014
Duckweed and other free-floating plants (FFP) can form dense surface mats that affect ecosystem condition and processes, and can impair public use of aquatic resources. FFP obtain their nutrients from the water column, and the formation of dense FFP mats can be a consequence and indicator of river eutrophication. We conducted two complementary surveys of diverse aquatic areas of the UpperMississippi River as an in situ approach for estimating thresholds in the response of FFP abundance to nutrient concentration and physical conditions in a large, floodplain river. Local regression analysis was used to estimate thresholds in the relations between FFP abundance and phosphorus (P) concentration (0.167 mg l-1), nitrogen (N) concentration (0.808 mg l-1), water velocity (0.095 m s-1), and aquatic macrophyte abundance (65 % cover). FFP tissue concentrations suggested P limitation was more likely in spring, N limitation was more likely in late summer, and N limitation was most likely in backwaters with minimal hydraulic connection to the channel. The thresholds estimated here, along with observed patterns in nutrient limitation, provide river scientists and managers with criteria to consider when attempting to modify FFP abundance in offchannel areas of large river systems. © Society of Wetland Scientists 2014.

Important things to remember about Pontllanfraith car accident claims
Thinking about making Pontllanfraith car accident claims after being involved in an incident on the roads that was not your fault? If so, then you have certainly landed in the right place! We can make sure that you have all the details you need, so you can move forward and maximise your chances of success. Claiming can be confusing, but it doesn't have to be when you get the right advice.
Read on to get the lowdown about the important things that you need to keep in mind when it comes to Pontllanfraith car accident claims.
There is a deadline in place
There are many things that you need to consider after you have an accident. Your list can seem almost endless. It can be tempting to decide that you will wait a little while before you get started with your accident claim, but this can actually be a very bad move. You need to make sure that you don't miss the deadline. If too much time passes, you could face the disappointment of discovering that you have missed out.
In most circumstances, you will have three years from the date of your accident to get started with your compensation claim. As such, it makes sense to set the wheels in motion as soon as you can.
Claiming doesn't have to be stressful
People jump to all kinds of conclusions about the process of claiming compensation. You might think that it will be complicated and that it will take up a ton of your time, but this really doesn't have to be the case. When you work with a reputable law firm with plenty off experience, like Accident Advice Helpline, you will be given plenty of support and guidance throughout the process.
In most cases, you won't even have to make a court appearance. This is something that many people feel worried about, so this might be a weight off your shoulders!

hi im wearevenom, a gold 2 player from the philippines. in this guide i will talk about how i build one of my favorite champions in the league, shaco. i have started playing league of legends at the start of season 4 and shaco is one of the first champs that i came up with.
as shaco, you wanted to clear your first camp immediately for you to be able to run to your enemies jungle and place a jitb and counter your opponents jungle. I picked flat dmg runes for my red and quints since most of my dmg early on would be physical based, flat armor for my yellows, 6 cd reduc for a bit faster cooldown on my 1st skill and 3rd which i would be spamming a lot during the game and a bit magic resist so that i wont get burstd early by ap champs.
my shaco, i can say is a lot different from the usual shaco's you'll see on regular plays. i dont concentrate on making pure dmg. shaco's team play is a little bit a gamble. build him the assassin that he should be, with pure dmg is a one-hit wonder (that is if your opponent is stupid enough to put their selves in an awkward position). but if you somehow encountered those smart players that are pretty aware of what they are doing, you'll find a hard time thinking how you could get to them without being focused. with my shaco's build, i reduced some of shaco's dmg output and increased his survivability by putting both armor, mresist and health into his item build. instead of using ravenous hydra, i put iceborn gauntlet in this build since RH only offers dmg which shaco already has while IG gives a lot more like mana, armor, CD reduc. also using shaco's stealth triggers IG's passive, giving you both additional dmg, a slow-on-hit while retaining the crit of shaco's 1st skill. randuin's omen increases shaco's chance to survive on some sticky situations, boosting his health, adding armor and with the help of omen's active slow. giving you ample time for your 1st skill in case it is on cooldown.

On Special Report, Charles Krauthammer exposed the "flaw at the center" of President Obama's national-security address delivered Thursday afternoon: "this notion [that] every war has to come to an end." "That is a naïve and utopian idea," he said.
"To end a war you need two sides," Krauthammer reminded viewers. "It's as if Obama stood up in 1958 and said, 'The Cold War has to end, and I'm going to end it.' The problem is it doesn't end until either al-Qaeda disappears or it renounces the declaration of war it made in 1996. That's why all the proposals he wants are completely impractical and ultimately harmful."

New York, New York (PressExposure) December 17, 2009 -- Pregnancy no longer means being confined to boring, plain clothes. Pregnant celebrities have been instrumental in changing popular views on maternity fashion in recent years. Designers like Liz Lange have made it their goal to give pregnant women the accessories they need to look great even with the swollen belly. Here are 7 fashion tips for moms-to-be
1. Empire waist dresses
The empire waist dress has a form-fitting seam above the belly, just under the breasts, that helps give your body shape. It doesn't hide your belly, and it's not supposed to, unlike traditional maternity dresses, which simply drape shapelessly over everything. The empire waist dress is elegant and simple and should be a part of any mother-to-be's wardrobe.
2. Have fun with your tees
T-shirts are always good to have around during pregnancy. Make them playful and plentiful, as they are comfortable and can always be matched with light blazers so that to give you semi-formal, relaxed look when needed. Stretchy fabric is great, since it means you'll be able to wear them well into your 9 months.
3. Wear bold jewelry
Because maternity fashion usually relies on plain colors and simple, elegant designs, it's the perfect outlet for showing off with big, bold jewelry. Those large pendants and eye-catching diamond studded bracelets and necklaces can be the perfect accent to a simple, empire wait evening dress.
4. Show off your body
No, it doesn't mean wearing small tops that reveals your growing baby bump. It means that, since a lot of attention will be on your belly anyway, you should take this time to show off other parts of your body. Tastefully, of course. For example, on your next cocktail or black-tie event, try to wear a long, backless maternity gown. Low cut dresses are also great for showing off your increased bust size (a nice pregnancy perk).
5. Floral designs
These are great for the spring and summer months. Floral designs are flattering and fun. Purses and other fashion accessories as well as dresses can look great with floral design. Look for floral dresses with long flaring skirts and empire waists.
6. Maternity bras
Because of the need for extra support, maternity bras tend to be clunky and un-sexy. But now there are plenty of designer maternity bras made to give you the extra support while still looking great. Shop around and you'll find special, strapless maternity bras that proved the support while still letting you wear those strapless dresses and tops that you like so much.
7. Maternity jeans
Say goodbye to those drab sweat pants. Maternity designers now offer wide selections of maternity jeans. Jeans are the most versatile garments you can have in your closet, and now it is easy to find a pair made to fit your changing waistline.
You don't have to go to a local place to purchase maternity wear; there are so many places now online where you can buy the best clothes for yourself to stay stylish. Take time for yourself to look and feel good!

Signings please Baines
Everton defender Leighton Baines believes their business during the January transfer window has given everyone at the club a lift.
Last Updated: 09/02/12 7:57pm
Everton defender Leighton Baines believes their business during the January transfer window has given everyone at the club a lift.
Goodison Park tactician David Moyes was astute during the month, landing Manchester United's Darron Gibson and re-signing Steven Pienaar on loan.
Everton also swooped for Croatia international Nikica Jelavic from SPL champions Rangers and the striker made his debut in their 1-1 draw at Wigan Athletic.
The Merseysiders are now unbeaten in four in league action while they also toppled leaders Manchester City last week courtesy of Gibson's second-half winner.
The sequence has lifted Everton into 11th in the table and Baines believes the fresh faces have provided a welcome boost.
"I think [January's transfer dealings] lifted everyone associated with the club, it certainly did from what we see within the club, it gave everyone a boost," explained Baines.
"It was massive, in particular, what that 24 hours did for us with the two new lads coming in (on deadline day) and the win over Manchester City.
"We needed it and it does lift people. It is hard to articulate exactly why that is at times but to get the new bodies in really helped.
"It was a productive period for the club and we certainly feel as though we are on the up again."

Alternative Strategies for Fighting Unemployment
During more than three decades of protracted high unemployment, European countries have developed a variety of approaches in order to tackle the problem. These strategies differ in their philosophy, scopes and successes. A number of them can be understood in terms of shying away from full-fledged liberalization in order to preserve the "European Social Model". In this paper the author discusses their relative merits. He focuses on strategies that may reasonably be expected to reduce unemployment, and ignores sheer blunders based on a false view of how the economics works (such as working time reduction), as well as measures that may improve the welfare of the unemployed but are nevertheless harmful to the labour market (such as generous unemployment benefits). The general message is that some of the strategies that "preserve the European Social Model†have merits, but are unlikely to lead to an efficient labour market where finding a job or hiring a worker are no longer considered as a painful challenge.

Charlemagne Palestine, The Golden Sound Trailer (2011)
01 January 2011 70 mins
Born in New York City, composer, performer, and visual artist Charlemagne Palestine was a contemporary of Steve Reich and Phillip Glass in the avant-garde classical music scene of the 1960s and 1970s. On stages filled with his own home-made stuffed animals, Palestine performs his trance-like strumming music. He is often referred to as a minimal composer, but rejects that in favour of "maximalism". Anne Maregiano's documentary about Palestine, The Golden Sound (2011), allows the artist to tell his own story while putting his music and performance, in long, unedited takes, at the centre of the film. - Close-Up Film Centre

White Matter Hyperintensities Are Associated With Impairment of Memory, Attention, and Global Cognitive Performance in Older Stroke Patients
Background— The importance of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) for cognitive performance in older stroke patients is largely unknown. We hypothesized that processing speed and executive dysfunction will be associated with frontal WMH whereas impaired memory will be associated with temporal WMH.
Methods— Neuropsychological assessments using the Cambridge Cognitive Examination (CAMCOG) and the Cognitive Drug Research (CDR) were completed for 96 stroke survivors aged older than 75 and 23 age-matched controls. Magnetic resonance imaging whole-brain axial FLAIR images were undertaken to visualize WMH and an automated threshold technique was used to determine their volume.
Results— In comparison to controls, the stroke patients had significantly greater volume of WMH in all key areas. Within the stroke group, a consistent pattern of significant association was identified between total and frontal WHM volumes and attention and processing speed tasks (eg, choice reaction time [right: R=0.24 P=0.02; left: R=0.26, P=0.01]), but not with executive function. There were significant associations between memory and temporal WMH volumes (right: R=0.27, P=0.008; left: R=0.20, P=0.047).
Conclusion— In older stroke patients, cognitive processing speed and performance on measures of attention are significantly associated with WMH volume, particularly in the frontal lobe regions, whereas memory impairment is associated with the volume of temporal lobe WMH.
Twenty five percent of stroke survivors have dementia as a direct result of a stroke event.1–3 However, the delayed development of incident dementia is up to 9 times greater than the incidence in an age-matched community population for ≥5 years after stroke.4 Prevalence rates are even higher among older stroke survivors.5,6 In addition, almost half of patients with early indications of cognitive impairment (usually referred to as vascular cognitive impairment) but without have dementia at 5-year follow-up.7 To facilitate the identification of individuals at particular risk for progressive cognitive decline and hence target interventions for secondary prevention, it is imperative to understand the substrates of cognitive impairment.
Few studies have examined the detailed profile of cognitive impairment in stroke survivors,8,9 but global deficits are evident,8 with early impairment of attention and executive performance.9 One longitudinal study indicates that memory deficits may be an important predictor of cognitive decline.7
Neuroimaging and neuropathological studies suggest that diffuse white matter changes and microvascular disease are the main associations of dementia in patients with cerebrovascular disease,10,11 but less work has focused on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) correlates of specific neuropsychological functions. In healthy populations, executive dysfunction is associated with white matter hyperintensities (WMH).10,11 Within the context of cerebrovascular disease, the overall severity of WMH appears to be related to the speed of cognitive processing in patients with subcortical ischemic vascular dementia12 and with executive performance, but not global cognition, in people with more heterogenous vascular dementia.13 A study focusing on stroke patients (with and without dementia) identified an association between the severity of periventricular WMH and executive dysfunction, although no association was seen between executive performance and WMH.14 These studies have not specifically evaluated the associations of memory dysfunction, although one would hypothesize that temporal lobe areas may be important.15–16
Even fewer studies have evaluated people with cerebrovascular disease who do not have dementia. A preliminary report in patients with mild cognitive impairment related to cerebrovascular disease did not identify any associations between cognition and WMH,17 although a larger community study identified an association between progressive cognitive impairment and global WMH.18
Before the development of quantitative measures, WMH were assessed using visual rating scales.19 Early quantitative studies relied on manual tracing, which is subjective and requires a neuroanatomical expert.20 The development of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences has enabled semiautomated methods to be developed. Recently, WMH volumes were measured in patients with Alzheimer disease using FLAIR images and a semiautomated segmentation method based on intensity thresholding to quantify WMH.21 Similarly, a combination of diffusion-weighted imaging, T1- and T2-weighted images have been used to identify tissue abnormalities in stroke patients.22
In the current study, correlates between the volume of WMH (expressed as a percentage of brain volume) and key aspects of cognition in older stroke patients without dementia are undertaken.
Patients and Methods
Stroke patients aged 75 years or older were recruited from consecutive patients on representative hospital-based stroke registers in Tyneside and Wearside. These patients were free of dementia (DSM IV criteria23) and free of disabilities precluding computerized cognitive testing (eg, aphasia, hemiparesis of writing hand). Stroke was defined using the World Health Organization definition. The cohort was comprehensively assessed at 3 months after stroke, allowing time for the resolution of delirium. The evaluation included a medical history, assessment of neurological deficits, a full blood screen, and CT scan. Age-matched elderly controls were recruited from spouses or care givers of patients.
The Local Research Ethics Committees granted ethical approval for the study. After full explanation and discussion, patients and healthy age-matched volunteers gave their consent to the evaluations, with additional assent from the next of kin.
Neuropsychological Evaluations
The Cambridge Cognitive Examination (CAMCOG) is a standardized paper-and-pencil test for global cognition24 with subscores for memory and executive function
The Cognitive Drug Research (CDR) computerized battery has been widely used to evaluate attention/processing speed and executive function in elderly controls and dementia patients.25 Specific tasks include choice reaction time (CRT), digit vigilance, and memory scanning (numerical working memory).
MRI Methods
MRI used a 1.5T GE Signa system (General Electric) within 3 months of the neuropsychological assessment. Whole-brain FLAIR images were acquired in the axial plane (TR=10 000 ms, TE=125 ms, TI=2100 ms, slice thickness=5 mm, interslice gap=0.3 mm) and transferred to a personal computer (converted to Analyze using MRIcro). Code written in-house using Matlab (The Mathworks Inc) and SPM99 (Functional Imaging Laboratory, University College London) routines were used to quantify WMH. Images were reviewed before study inclusion. Seven patients were excluded because of movement, poor tolerability, or concurrent malignancy. The method of WMH volume measure has been described in detail previously and validated using a manually adjusted contour threshold technique.26
FLAIR images were spatially normalized to the T1-weighted Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) template, which approximates Talairach space,27 using a 12-parameter affine transformation and nonlinear iterations.28 Images were then resampled to a voxel size of 2×2×2 mm3 using bilinear interpolation and automatically segmented using a cluster analysis into gray matter, white matter, cerebrospinal fluid, and a fourth partition consisting of skull, fat muscle, and voxels with a high degree of partial voluming.29 The "brain extract" function of SPM99 involves a series of conditional erosions and dilations and was used to create a brain mask. The outer surface of the brain mask was further eroded to ensure that only brain tissue was included after masking. Regions within the brain mask were then set to 1 and the previous probability cerebrospinal fluid map of SPM99 was used to set the ventricles to 1.
An iterative process of convolving the extracted brain with a 1-pixel-wide Gaussian and thresholding to remove pixels of intensity <0.7 was repeated 6 times. This eroded brain mask was then transformed from MNI space to the orientation of the FLAIR image, using the SPM deformation toolbox, using information from the scanner about the relative orientation of the FLAIR slices. This brain mask was used to remove nonbrain regions. The FLAIR images were then segmented, slice-by-slice, and WMH were identified as pixels with an intensity >1.45-times that of the modal pixel intensity. This threshold was chosen empirically after visual inspection showed good representation of the actual WMH on the FLAIR images (Figure 1). Those pixels not directly connected to 2 other WMH pixels were identified as isolated bright pixels and removed. This step removed isolated bright pixels, which were mostly not actual WMH. The WMH map was reviewed visually and any remaining nonbrain structure removed by manual editing.
A region of interest map (created in MNI space) was transformed onto the FLAIR image of each subject. This permitted quantification of WMH volume in the 4 lobes of the brain (Figure 2). The percentage of WMH in the brain was calculated by dividing the volume of segmented WMH by the volume of the brain as determined from the SPM99 segmentation. This was undertaken to control for intersubject differences in brain size. This semiautomated process for identifying WMH has been previously validated by comparison with a manual region of interest approach with excellent concordance (correlation >0.95).26
Primary evaluations examined correlations between processing speed (CRT) and frontal WMH volume, and memory and temporal WMH volume using Pearson R test. Secondary evaluations were undertaken using the same statistical method, examining the regional associations of global cognitive deficits and examining the correlations of memory, processing speed, other aspects of attention, and executive performance with the severity of WMH. All evaluations used the SPSS computerized statistical package (version 10).
One hundred three patients were evaluated. Seven MRI scans were excluded (see Methods), hence the final study population included 96 stroke patients older than 75. They had a mean age of 80.2 (±4.1), and 54 (56%) were female, 68 (71%) had a history of hypertension, and the mean Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score was 26.5 (±2.48). Nineteen had predominantly cortical infarcts.
Four had thalamic infarcts, 29 had subcortical basal ganglia infarcts (SCBG), 5 had a combination of cortical and thalamic infarcts, 17 had a combination of cortical and SCBG infarcts, 10 had a combination of thalamic and SCBG infarcts, and 2 patients had cortical, SCBG, and thalamic infarcts. The remaining patients had infarcts in the cerebellum or capsular regions.
An additional 23 subjects without strokes, transient ischemic attacks (but not excluded because of hypertension or cardiovascular risk factors), or dementia and who scored at least 25 on the MMSE and 85 on the CAMCOG were evaluated as controls. They had a similar age and gender balance as the stroke population (Table 1). In comparison to the controls, the stroke patients had significantly greater impairment of global cognition, memory, executive performance, reaction times, and other aspects of attention, and they were less likely to have hypertension (all P<0.0001; Table 1). The total volume of WMH and the volumes in the temporal lobe and frontal lobe areas were also greater in the stroke patients (all P<0.0001; Table 1). The stroke patients had a total brain volume of 1052 mm3 (SD 112) and the controls had a volume of 1106 mm3 (SD 136).
Correlations Within Stroke Group
Age was correlated with the total volume of WMH (R=0.23, P<0.02), but there was no association with hypertension (T=0.8 P=0.44) or gender (T=1.6 P=0.11). Therefore, all correlations were undertaken as partial correlations controlling for age. Significant associations were identified between right (R=0.26 P=0.01) and left (R=0.26 P=0.01) frontal WMH volumes and CRT, but no association was evident between executive dysfunction and WMH volumes in either the right (R=−0.12 P=0.21) or the left (R=−0.14 P=0.17) frontal regions. There was an association between left frontal WMH volume and working memory (R=0.24 P=0.02).
There were significant associations between memory and both right (R=0.27 P=0.008) and left (R=0.20 P=0.048) temporal WMH volumes (Table 2A).
There was a consistent pattern of associations between attention and WMH volume (Table 2B), including an association between total WMH volume and both processing speed (CRT R=0.25 P=0.016) and number vigilance (R=0.24 P=0.02).
Regression Analyses
Additional linear regression analyses were undertaken to determine the independent contribution of WMH volumes to specific cognitive deficits. These analyses were undertaken for each cognitive domain where significant associations were identified in the correlational analysis (total CAMCOG score, memory, vigilance, CRT, CRT SD, working memory), using cognitive performance as the dependent variable. For each evaluation, total WMH volume and the key potential confounders (age, gender, hypertension, medial temporal atrophy measured with Scheltens scale, size of cortical infarctions) were included as independent variables, together with any specific regional WMH volumes identified from the correlations. WMH volumes were significantly associated with each cognitive domain independently of the potential confounding factors. There were no significant associations with hypertension (Table 3).
The 25th percentile was WMH of 1.2% (mild) of the total brain volume, the median was 2.4% (moderate), and the 75th percentile was 4.5% (severe). Patients with moderate WMH had greater impairments of processing speed and attention than patients with mild WMH (CRT: t=2.4 P=0.017; digit vigilance t=3.0 P=0.004) but did not have greater impairment of global cognition or memory. However, the individuals with the most severe WMH had a greater impairment of global cognition and memory (total CAMCOG t=2.3 P=0.02; memory t=2.2 P=0.03).
Cognitive processing speed and performance on other measures of attention were associated with total WMH and frontal WMH volume in older stroke patients. Memory impairment was associated with the volume of temporal lobe WMH. These associations remained significant in regression analyses that incorporated potential confounders (age, gender, hypertension, medial temporal atrophy, cortical infarctions), suggesting that it does represent an independent effect. Although the strength of individual correlations is modest, with an effect size explaining 5% to 10% of the variance, the consistent pattern of associations strongly suggests that this is a helpful finding.
This study uses a sensitive method of quantifying WMH volumes, which correlates well with visual ratings. The technique provides a reliable and less subjective means of measuring lesion volumes. Although FLAIR images provide good visualization of lesions, a limitation was the inability to separate deep WMH from periventricular lesions. However, using a region of interest map, we were able to obtain lesion volumes for the major lobes of the brain, both in the right and left hemispheres. WMH represented 4% of total brain volume in stroke patients, equating to a WMH volume of 32 mm3.
As hypothesized, there was a significant association between total WMH and frontal WMH and cognitive processing speed. This is consistent with work indicating that lesions in these areas disrupt fronto-striato-thalamo-frontal circuits, which have been implicated in attention-based tasks.30 Previous work has demonstrated an association between processing speed and WMH in patients with subcortical ischemic vascular dementia;12 the current study expands these findings to stroke patients without dementia, indicating the importance of these lesions as a substrate of vascular cognitive impairment.
Contrary to the hypothesis, but consistent with the only previous study in stroke patients,14 there was no association between WMH and overall executive performance. There was an association between WMH and memory scanning (which does involve executive processing), although this test also measures reaction time, which probably explains the association.
The association between memory impairments and the severity of temporal lobe WMH is novel, but consistent with the key role of temporal lobe areas in memory,15,16 and preliminary neuropathological observations identifying microvascular disease in areas containing key hippocampal tracts in vascular dementia patient.31
Severe WHM were associated with global cognitive impairment. These findings are potentially important because they indicate that in stroke patients without dementia, WMH are a substrate of a broad range of core cognitive functions and emphasize the potential value of WMH as a target for preventing dementia in these individuals, with stringent control of blood pressure or cholinergic therapies among the exciting opportunities for clinical trials.

In the interview, the 56-year-old Oscar-nominated actor said it would be hypocritical for people to castigate Gibson for his 2006 anti-Semitic diatribe while being arrested for drunk driving because "we've all said those things." Oldman, who stars in the upcoming film "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," also said he did not blame Baldwin for using a homophobic slur while confronting a paparazzo in a New York street last year and that people are unable to "take a joke." Bob Dylan's handwritten manuscript for "Like a Rolling Stone" sold for just over 2 million dollars (USD) on Tuesday (June 24) at Sotheby's rock and roll auction, which also included memorabilia from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley.

Louis Smith confirms bid to qualify for Commonwealth Games
Olympic medallist Louis Smith has returned to training and is aiming to compete at this year's Commonwealth Games.
Last Updated: 07/01/14 3:32pm
And should he qualify for the England team he believes it will be his final competition.
Smith captained the Team GB men's gymnastics team to a bronze medal at the London Olympics, before winning individual silver on the pommel horse.
He then took a break from sport to pursue other interests - notably winning the 2012 Strictly Come Dancing title - but he now intends to return to top-level competition, starting with the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow this year.
"I always said that everything that I was working on was geared towards 2012 and when I achieved what I did at the London Olympics, within myself I believed that I had taken part in my last ever competition in the sport", said Smith.
"However recently my feelings have started to change. I loved commentating at the World Championships in October.
"However there was a large part of me that felt I should be competing. I know what I'm still capable of when I'm in peak condition. I believe I can very much compete amongst the best in the world and challenge for medals.
"Qualifying for Team England will be no easy feat. People may assume that my achievements to date will mean a place in the team however that couldn't be further from the case.
"The strength in depth in this country is at a level that it's never been before with a large number of hugely talented gymnasts all competing for places. I will have to earn my place on the team which is not going to be easy and even if I achieve the necessary standards, it will still come down to the selectors.
"If I don't make the team, then I can be proud that I have been a part of the success that has driven on these young gymnasts to reach higher standards and take the sport forward and I'll look forward to following and supporting them all at the Games.
"In any case, I look forward to getting back in the gym and keeping my gymnastic fitness at a level that I have become used to over the years.
"I loved competing at the Commonwealth Games in 2006. It's such a friendly competition and one that I'd be so eager to be a part of again.
"As far as I am concerned, should I qualify, this will be my last hurrah. The 2012 Olympics were everything to me and I believe that without the successes that I had there, my life could have taken a very different path over the last year and a half. So I can go to the Commonwealth Games knowing that whatever happens, I will have achieved everything I ever dreamt of in gymnastics.
"But I am an athlete and as has always been the case, I will be there in the pursuit of success. I'm not done with gymnastics yet. I have unfinished business. Should I qualify, the opportunity to compete on home turf again is one that I will relish."

You're shocked, I'm sure. America's liar-in-chief Donald Trump: "I did not make recordings of Comey," after teasing the possibility he did for weeks. What a drama queen. So Trump's good with a charge of witness intimidation then. Good to know.
There's also more evidence for the obstruction of justice charge. Intel chiefs tell investigators Trump suggested they refute collusion with Russians:
Two of the nation's top intelligence officials told Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team and Senate investigators, in separate meetings last week, that President Donald Trump suggested they say publicly there was no collusion between his campaign and the Russians, according to multiple sources.
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and National Security Agency Director Adm. Mike Rogers described their interactions with the President about the Russia investigation as odd and uncomfortable, but said they did not believe the President gave them orders to interfere, according to multiple sources familiar with their accounts.
Their "beliefs" or "feelings" are irrelevant. They confirmed the attempt to obstruct was made.
