Peckett and Sons
Peckett and Sons was a locomotive manufacturer at the Atlas Works in St. George, Bristol, England.
Fox, Walker and Company[edit]
The company began trading in 1864 at the Atlas Engine Works, St. George, Bristol, as Fox, Walker and Company, building four and six-coupled saddle tank engines for industrial use. They also built stationary engines and pioneered steam tramcars, the first being tested in Bristol in 1877.
Much of their output was exported, mostly 0-6-0, with some 0-4-0, 2-4-0 and 0-4-2. In 1878 they produced six 1'6" gauge 2-4-2 trench engines for the Royal Engineers at Chatham using Henry Handyside's steep gradient apparatus. They also produced nine 0-6-0 saddle tank engines for the Somerset and Dorset Railway.
Peckett and Sons[edit]
They were taken over by Thomas Peckett in 1880 becoming Peckett and Sons, Atlas Engine Works, Bristol. The company acquired limited liability some years later. By 1900 the two companies had built over 400 locomotives.
The company continued producing a variety of small industrial and shunting engines at their factory located between Fishponds and Kingswood in Bristol. They became specialists in the field, with very precise specifications and standardisation of parts. The largest engine was an 0-8-0 built in 1931 for the Christmas Island Phosphate Company. The works were served by a branch line starting just south west of Kingswood junction on the Midland line and ran for about 1 mile (1.6km) in a generally eastward direction, it also served some collieries in the Speedwell area. The only evidence remaining of this line is a bridge abutment on Whitefield Road.
During the two World Wars, the works were especially busy, but by 1950 trade had largely dried up and, although in 1956 an attempt had been made to enter the diesel-mechanical market, the last steam engine was produced in 1958 and the company was taken over by Reed Crane & Hoist Co Ltd on 23 October 1961, which itself later went into liquidation.
Production and preservation[edit]
- For a full list, see List of Peckett and Sons railway locomotives
Despite hard work and poor maintenance, the engines were long-lasting. Many Peckett locomotives survive working on today's heritage railways around the world:
- The oldest surviving Fox Walker locomotive is "Karlskoga"[citation needed], an 0-6-0ST on the Nora Bergslags Railway in Sweden; it was working in 2003
- The last Peckett steam locomotive built, 2165 of 1958, is preserved at Sandstone Estates, South Africa

Jammu: 411 surrendered militants have benefited from the revised state rehabilitation policy since
2004, Jammu and Kashmir Government said on Sunday.
Under the policy, these surrendered militants were given Rs 2.88 crore in monetary incentives, state Home Department officials said.
J&K government has also rejected 211 cases seeking grant of rehabilitation package, they said.
In year 1995, the surrender and rehabilitation policy was framed with the objective of bringing the surrendered terrorists into mainstream. It was later revised in 2004.
On surrender, a militant will get Rs 1.5 lakh FDR encashable after three years, payment of monetary incentives for surrender of weapons and explosives and stipend for a period of Rs three years at the rate of Rs 2000 per month from the date of surrender, they said.
The surrendered terrorists were not only benefited by the policy but many of them were also absorbed in central paramilitary forces and Territorial Army (TA).

Reeva Steenkamp May Have Been Pregnant At Time Of Her Death, Alleges National Enquirer
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By IBTimes Staff Reporter | February 26, 2013 6:52 AM EST
In what could potentially be the biggest bombshell to date in the Oscar Pistorius murder case, sources who are reportedly close to the investigation have alleged that the South African sprinter's girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp is believed to have been pregnant at the time of her death.
According to the tabloid the National Enquirer, sources with knowledge of the situation say that Steenkamp likely told Pistorius she was expecting a child on the same day that she was fatally shot.
"Police believe the pregnancy secret she revealed is what sent Pistorius over the edge and left her dead, with bullet wounds to the head, chest, pelvis and hand," a source described as an "insider" told the publication.
Before her untimely death in Pistorius' home on Valentine's Day, Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model and reality television personality, had been considered a rising celebrity in her native South Africa. According to the Guardian, the attractive couple formed, "South Africa 's equivalent of Posh and Becks.
Pistorius, who was granted bail by a South African magistrate on Friday, has argued that he did not intentionally murder Steenkamp, but shot her through a locked bathroom door after mistaking her for a burglar and then, realizing his mistake, unsuccessfully attempted to revive her with CPR.
The National Enquirer's sources paint the Olympian in a rather different light, however, alleging that a "hot-headed" Pistorius was incensed over online communications Steenkamp had engaged in with her ex-boyfriend, Francois Hougaard.
"Police believe the argument started over Reeva's relationship with Oscar's close friend, handsome rugby player Francois Hougaard," the source said. "Police believe as the arguing continued, hot-headed Pistorius became maniacal. Reeva tried to calm him down, saying there was nothing between Hougaard and herself. Although she had dated him in the past, it was long over."
It was during the fight that sources for the publication alleged Steenkamp revealed that she was pregnant with Pistorius' child; a claim he allegedly believed to be false, and which further enraged him.
The source also claimed that police currently believe that in that "rage," "possibly induced by the illegal steroids that were lated recovered in his home," Pistorius used a cricket bat to bash Steenkamp's skull in and also shot her.
The source also dismissed the defense's claim that Pistorius mistook Steenkamp for a burglar, alleging that she had been at his home all day and that he was well-aware she was there.
"Tthat doesn't make sense," the insider told the tabloid. "Reeva had been in the house since 6 p.m. the day before – and he knew she was there. Police aren't buying that story either and have charged him with premeditated murder."

Brought my brand-new 2014 BMW in for some simple servicing. They had to replace a part, and by doing so, they messed up several pieces of trim, fabric in my car, and left dirt stains inside my new vehicle. A simple one day servicing turned into a weeks worth of loss of use of my car, inconvenience, and my car being returned to me in less than as new condition. Quite simply, don't buy a car from them, don't have your car serviced there. Next time, I'll drive to Birmingham or Atlanta and hopefully do better!

Dear Mr. Ewing, We certainly appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve processes in the future. We strive for 100% customer satisfaction and it seems we fell a bit short here. I understand that you used this experience to make the decision not to do business with us in the future but if there is any way BMW of Montgomery can make this up to you, we would love the opportunity. You can reach me on my personal number at 334-300-8465. I look forward to hearing from you. Jason Wilson BMW of Montgomery

I could write a book about my experiences with this dealership but I won't. For the sake of brevity I think my "Review Title" sums it up pretty well. I wish this site had a "Very Very Poor" rating and the option to leave no stars - for even one star is far to good for this dealership. I made the horrible mistake of buying a car from them and I'm still paying for it. Anything and everything about this dealership is a nightmare. Sadly, there's not one positive thing I can say about them. Fortunately there are many other dealerships out there. Good luck.

President Barack Obama wants Americans to know he's officially on BP's case about this oil spill business, but also that "we have to acknowledge that there are inherent risks to drilling four miles beneath the surface of the Earth." Indeed there are.
By Mike Luckovich —
By Mr. Fish —
The conduct of Barack Obama in the BP affair, and all that preceded it, has become to this writer all but incomprehensible. I cannot imagine a more compelling portrayal of impotence.
Rick Rowley / Big Noise Films
The anger is palpable across the Mississippi Delta. As the Deepwater Horizon oil geyser, almost a mile underwater, continues unabated, the brunt of this, the largest environmental catastrophe in United States history, is rolling onto the coast, impacting the ecology, the economy and entire ways of life.
Want to see what it looked like when the famous "top kill" method didn't work as planned in recent days? Here's a visual aid that might make its way into Obama's nightmares sooner or later ... (continued)
Illustration from White House photo by Pete Souza
Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich writes, "If the government can take over giant global insurer AIG and the auto giant General Motors and replace their CEOs, in order to keep them financially solvent, it should be able to put BP's north American operations into temporary receivership in order to stop one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history."
Why shooting peace activists to death is a big deal—even in foreign policy circles, what priests' mistresses think of celibacy, and how much public money Sarah Palin got paid to attempt public speech.
Adm. Thad Allen is an expert on thankless jobs. After the initial response to Hurricane Katrina had been botched, President Bush assigned him to clean up the mess. Now President Obama has put him in charge of handling the worst oil spill in the nation's history.
AP / Elizabeth Dalziel
Hope in this age of bankrupt capitalism will come with the return of the language of class conflict. It does not mean we have to agree with Karl Marx, but we have to speak in his vocabulary.
"We've tried containment domes, rubber tires and even golf balls," said William Cathermeyer of the National Oil Leakage Institute, a leading consultancy in the field of oil leaks. "Now it's time to shove some BP executives down there and hope for the best."

With malnutrition already well past dangerous levels, some 10 million Africans will face extreme hunger over the next few months as the threat of famine floats across West Africa amid a drought that killed off last year's crops and has left the region's agricultural economy in ruins.
White House / Pete Souza
Barack Obama is, in many admirable ways, our most progressive president in decades. But as an environmentalist, let's face it, he's no Richard Nixon.
By the most conservative estimate, BP's Gulf of Mexico disaster has already spilled nearly twice as much oil as the Exxon Valdez. The impact of the 1989 environmental and commercial catastrophe is still being felt in Alaska more than 20 years later. The gulf spill could already be five times as big as Valdez. Watch live footage of the effort to stop the undersea gusher after the jump.
So who is in charge of stopping the oil spill, BP or the federal government? The answer to this question seems as murky as the water around the exploded oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico.
The news that British Petroleum began its latest attempt to contain the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill Wednesday afternoon with the "top kill" stopgap strategy would be more heartening if it didn't come so late in the game—and if there was more of a guarantee that it would do the job.
U.S. Coast Guard / CPO John Kepsimelis
Officials at the Environmental Protection Agency are considering whether to bar BP from receiving government contracts, a move that would ultimately cost the company billions in revenue and could end its drilling in federally controlled oil fields.
Monte Wolverton, Cagle Cartoons —
Check out the latest "Fault Lines" episode, in which Avi Lewis travels Bolivia to talk about climate change, climate debt and the current environmental movements in the global south that challenge our perceptions about climate and development.

Jitinder Kohli, Director in Public Sector Practice, Deloitte
President Barack Obama will have his first meeting Tuesday with more than 1,000 senior executives and other career federal managers. The President oversees a vast workforce that, according to surveys, is less than thrilled with federal service. Jitinder Kholi is a director in the public sector practice at Deloitte. He received a preview of what Obama will tell the senior managers, and shared his analysis of what to expect on the Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

The news is, as the Duke of York also said, "When you're halfway up, you're neither up nor down." Max Stier is the president and CEO of the Partnership for Public Service. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss the big takeaways from this year's list.

The Education Department is giving potential managers a chance to walk in their supervisors' shoes. A program called "A Day in the Life" lets those on the rise see what it's like to be a manager by shadowing a current one over a few days. Quay Crowner is the Education Department's acting deputy chief administration officer and HR director. She told Federal News Radio's executive editor Jason Miller about how the program is part of a broader employee engagement effort going on across the department.

Emily Kopp, Reporter, Federal News Radio
The Senior Executive Service is 35-years old, and yet it's never really worked the way it was intended. It didn't develop into the mobile cadre of managers who move from agency to agency. The Brookings Institution and Booz Allen Hamilton are holding a brainstorming session today with government leaders to discuss whether, and how, the SES should change. Federal News Radio's Emily Kopp spoke with two of the organizers, Ron Sanders and Bob Hale of Booz Allen on the Federal Drive with Tom Temin. Sanders says the SES has come under a lot of stress and scrutiny of late, making now the right time for change.

Breakthrough Reported In Aids Research
A scientist says he has succeeded in causing AIDS in monkeys with a virus more closely resembling the one that infects people - a development that overcomes one obstacle to the development of drugs and vaccines against the disease.
Vaccine research had been slowed because HIV, the human AIDS virus, has not caused monkeys to become sick with AIDS. However, monkeys can develop the disease from the simian immunodeficiency virus, which is similar to HIV.
Bill Narayan, a virologist at the University of Kansas Medical Center, used a virus developed by Harvard researchers that combines parts of HIV with SIV. He then increased the strength of the hybrid virus by passing it from monkey to monkey through bone marrow transplants.
Within six months of being infected with the newly developed virus, about 20 monkeys developed many of the symptoms seen in humans. Three monkeys have died so far of AIDS-related causes, and four others are severely ill.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, called the new virus a significant finding.
"We have been trying for so many years to find an animal model for HIV," he said. "This model will accelerate research."

Dodgers set to get Gonzalez, Crawford and Beckett from Red Sox
Aug 25, 2012, 8:23 AM EST
8:23 a.m. EDT update: Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the deal is "pretty much done." Beckett and Crawford have waived their no-trade rights and both teams have signed off on medicals, so we're presumably waiting on approval from the commissioner's office.
6:40 a.m. EDT update: According to Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com, the blockbuster deal will be made official Saturday.
2:10 a.m. EDT update: Jon Heyman reports that Crawford has approved the trade. All that stands in the way now is Beckett waiving his no-trade clause and league approval. Expectations are that it will be finalized.
Here's a breakdown of all of the pieces involved.
11:05 p.m. EDT update: According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, the Dodgers are one of just three teams on Crawford's no-trade list. He's yet to be asked whether he'd approve the deal, though many have suggested he'd welcome the move.
10:40 p.m. EDT update: The Boston Herald's Michael Silverman reports that the Dodgers would absorb more than 95 percent of the combined $271.5 million in salaries the Red Sox are sending their way. If that's true, the Red Sox would eat no more than $13.5 million.
8:00 p.m. EDT update: FOXSports.com's Jon Morosi reports that the Dodgers have agreed to send RHP Rubby De La Rosa, RHP Allen Webster, 1B/OF Jerry Sands, INF Ivan De Jesus and 1B James Loney to the Red Sox for 1B Adrian Gonzalez, OF Carl Crawford, RHP Josh Beckett and INF Nick Punto. Nothing is expected to be finalized tonight.
7:42 p.m. EDT update: A source told CSNNE.com's Sean McAdam hat the Red Sox have yet to secure trade permission from either Josh Beckett or Carl Crawford, but he adds that neither is expected to block a deal. Adrian Gonzalez lacks any sort of trade protection in his contract.
FOXSports.com's Jon Morosi is reporting that top Dodgers prospect Allen Webster is also involved, which would seem to suggest the Red Sox are throwing quite a bit of cash into the trade.
WEEI's Rob Bradford reports that an announcement of the trade is unlikely to come tonight.
7:03 p.m. EDT update: Adrian Gonzalez was scratched. too.
6:58 p.m. EDT update: The Dodgers just scratched James Loney from Friday's starting lineup. It looks like this is getting done.
6:50 p.m. EDT update: Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan says the Red Sox and Dodgers have the framework in place and believes that something is going get done. The Boston Globe's Peter Abraham says the sides have two possibilities in play, the likely nine- or 10-player trade that includes Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett, as well as a somewhat smaller trade that excludes Crawford.
The Dodgers sent rumored key component Ruddy De La Rosa back to Triple-A today, a move that would facilitate a deal. De La Rosa didn't clear waivers, so he can't be traded as is. However, now that he's back in the minors, he can be included as a PTBN (a player to be named) and then get sent to Boston once the season is over.
5:58 p.m. EDT update: Speaking on WGAM with Matt Perrault, ESPN Boston's Gordon Edes said he believes the Red Sox would get back RHP Rubby De La Rosa, INF Ivan De Jesus, 1B/OF Jerry Sands and 1B James Loney in return for Gonzalez, Crawford, Beckett and Punto.
Loney is probably just in there for salary purposes, not as someone the Red Sox would be looking at as a 2013 first baseman. De La Rosa is the legitimate prospect, a possible No. 2 or No. 3 starter as soon as next year. De Jesus is a utilityman, while Sands would be worth an audition as a first base or left field option.
5:50 p.m. EDT update: A source told FOXSports.com's Jon Morosi that a deal is close, with Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett and Nick Punto all involved.
Morosi says the Red Sox would seen some cash to the Dodgers in the trade.
Blockbuster: red Sox, Dodgers working on deal that would send AGon, Crawford, Beckett and Punto to LA. Hurdles remain, but closing in
— Gordon Edes (@GordonEdes) August 24, 2012
Gonzalez, Beckett and Crawford! That's around $300 million in players who aren't as good as the Red Sox needed them to be on the verge of being shoved out the door. No idea what the return could be. Rubby De La Rosa is the Dodgers top prospect, but some have said he's untouchable. I guess we'll find out.

Hilarious…Dodgers just don't get it..but you don't have to when you now have unlimited $$$ and no cares in the world. What's next, an OF makes an error so they go trade for Braun? It's going to be hilarious if SF continues to stifle them with pitching

- proudlycanadian - Aug 25, 2012 at 8:21 AM
One mans trash is another mans treasure. Boston did what they had to do. As far as LA is concerned, I think that this trade will work out as well as the Vernon Wells trade.
- j0esixpack - Aug 25, 2012 at 8:23 AM
For all the Boston haters out there who said no quality manager would be interested in the Sox because they are hamstrung by huge contracts….
The Sox just became interesting.
The Sox knew going into last offseason that 2013 would be the better year for free agents. They hired a non-players manager to give the players a taste of what that is like and now are poised to bring in the players manager they likely want long term, plus they now have ample room to be players in free agency.
Not bad
- wonderkt - Aug 25, 2012 at 3:58 PM
So, the "trade deadline" apparently means nothing. All these players passed through waivers? Not one team in baseball wanted them except for the Dodgers? Right, uh huh.

Middle School Students to Compete in Regional Science Olympiad at St. John Fisher College
Students representing 14 Rochester-area middle schools will visit St. John Fisher College to participate in the 2014 Regional Science Olympiad Competition on Saturday, February 15, from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. The competition will determine the area's top students in the field of science. A total of 22 teams, made up of 300 students, have been preparing since September to compete in 20 events in the fields of engineering, biology, physical science, and problem solving.
It is one of several regional competitions in New York State, which act as a preliminary round to the state competition to be held at Greece Arcadia High School, April 4-5, 2014. Two to three winning teams will then attend the State Science Olympiad. And two winning teams from the state competition will move on to the national competition at the University of Central Florida this May.
Schools participating in this year's competition are: Avon Middle School; Carl I. Bergerson Middle School in Albion; A.D. Oliver Middle School in Brockport; East Rochester Junior High School; Merton Williams Middle School in Hilton; Livonia Middle School; Bay Trail Middle School in Penfield; Pittsford Barker Road; Calkins Road Middle School in Pittsford; Rochester Academy Charter School; Sodus Junior High School; Spry Middle School in Webster; Willink Middle School in Webster; Twelve Corners Middle School in Brighton; and Thomas C. Armstrong Middle School in Wayne.
Among the events to take place during the competition are:
- Rotor Egg Drop - A team will construct an unpowered, autorotation helicopter device, which uses one or more helicopter rotor(s) to safely transport a raw chicken egg from a specified height to the floor.
9:00–11:00 a.m./Wegmans School of Pharmacy Foyer
- Robo-Cross - Prior to the tournament, teams design and build a robot capable of performing certain tasks on a prescribed field. The robot may be controlled remotely by radio, infrared, or wired control boxes.
10:00-12:00 p.m./Cleary Auditorium (Kearney Hall)
- Wheeled Vehicle - Competitors must design, build, and test on vehicle that uses a non-metallic, elastic material as its sole means of propulsion to travel a distance as quickly and accurately as possible.
10:00-2:00 p.m./Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Athletic Center (Student Life Center)
- Boomilever - The objective of this event is to design and build the most efficient Boomilever. A Boomilever is a cantilevered wood and glue structure, mounted to a vertical Testing Wall, carrying a load at a distance from the wall.
11:00-2:00p.m./Basil Hall 135 (Auditorium)

AD: the most common degenerative disease of the brain; incidence increases sharply with age after 65; age is the most important and common risk factor (10% of patients >65 y/o, 50% of patients >85 y/o); other risk factors: Down syndrome (patient 30–45 y/o shows similar patho- logic changes), mother's age at birth, head injury, excess aluminum intake, apolipoprotein E gen- otype; reported protective factors: smoking, education, inheritance of apolipoprotein E2 allele. 1. Clinical features: common words, tasks, places, and events are forgotten; remote mem- ory is also affected, difficulty remembering words, echolalia (repetition of spoken phrase), difficulty balancing checkbook; may progress to acalculia, difficulty parking car, putting arms in sleeves, lost on way to home; initially little change in behavior but later with paranoid delusions, anxiety, phobias, akinesia, mutism; day–night pattern changes; parkinsonian look; rigidity and fine tremor, myoclonus 2. Pathology: brain volume is decreased in advanced case up to 20% or more; ventricles enlarge proportionally; extreme hippocampal atrophy; atrophic process involves tempo- ral, parietal, and frontal, but cases vary a lot; microscopically: senile or neuritic plaques, 32 CLINICAL NEUROLOGY neurofibrillary tangles, granulovacuolar degeneration of neurons most prominent in pyra- midal cell layer of hippocampus; Hirano bodies a. Cholinergic neurons of the nucleus basalis of Meynert (substantia innominata), locus cer- uleus, medial septal nuclei, and diagonal band of Broca are reduced; with resulting defi- ciency of acetylcholine b. Neurofibrillary tangles are composed of clusters of abnormal tubules, and senile plaques contain a core of amyloid; tangles and plaques are found in all association cor- tex; CA1 zone of the hippocampus disproportionately affected 3. Genetics: familial in 10% a. A defective gene was identified on chromosome 21 near the β-amyloid gene that codes for an errant AAP (amyloid precursor protein) gene. b. Chromosome 14, for the protein called presenilin-1; accounts for 80% of the familial cases. c. Gene mutation on chromosome 1 for the protein presenilin-2; age of onset for all famil- ial cases is earlier. d. Apolipoprotein E4 on chromosome 19 is associated with tripling the risk of acquiring AD. 4. Treatment a. Cholinesterase inhibitors: pharmacologic characteristics Tacrine Donepezil Rivastigmine Galantamine Year available 1993 1996 2000 2001 Brain selectivity No Yes Yes Yes Reversibility Yes Yes Yes/slow Yes Chemical class Acridine Piperidine Carbamate Phenanthrene alkaloid Enzymes inhibited: Acetylcholinesterase Yes Yes Yes Yes Butyrylcholinesterase Yes Negligible Yes Negligible Nicotinic receptor No No No Yes modulation Doses per day 4 1 2 2 Initial dose (mg/day) 40 5 3 8 Maximum dose (mg/day) 160 10 12 24 Given with food No, unless No Yes Yes nausea occurs Plasma half-life (hrs) 2–4 ~70 ~1 ~6 Elimination pathway Liver Liver Kidney 50% Kidney 50% Liver Metabolism by cyto- Yes Yes Minimal Yes chrome P450 b. Memantine: a low to moderate affinity to noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist (N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors, by the excitatory amino acid glutamate, have been hypothesized to contribute to the symptomatology of AD); U.S. Food and Drug Administration–approved for the treatment of moderate to severe dementia in AD; titrate doses up to 20 mg/day DEMENTIA 33 NB: Early in the disease, AD patients are characterized by impaired word recall and normal digit span. NB: Mild cognitive impairment refers to mild memory impairment or subtle changes in cognitive function that do not interfere with daily activities for which no underlying cause can be found. E. Frontotemporal dementia: syndrome characterized by prominent frontal lobe symptoms, in contrast to the more pronounced amnestic symptoms in AD; reduced frontal cerebral blood flow; there is symmetric frontal and anterior temporal atrophy with frontal ventric- ular enlargement; striatum, amygdala, or hippocampus is usually spared. 1. Frontotemporal dementia of the frontal lobe degeneration type: microscopically: microvacu- olation and gliosis predominantly over the outer three laminae of cerebral frontal cor- tex; no Pick bodies, ballooned neurons, or Lewy bodies (LBs) 2. Frontotemporal dementia of the Pick type: more pronounced frontal lobe atrophy and in addi- tion to microvacuolation, gliosis, neuronal loss, have ballooned or inflated neurons and Pick bodies; Pick bodies are most frequent in the medial parts of temporal lobes; clinically: gradual onset of confusion with personal neglect, apathy, focal disturbances, such as aphasia and apraxia, personality changes, abulia, frontal release signs 3. Frontotemporal dementia of the motor neuron type: previously described clinical and neu- ropathologic findings are coupled with spinal motor neuron degeneration; motor neuron loss is most severe in the cervical and thoracic segments; may be identical to amyotrophy- dementia complex F. DLB: the syndrome of DLB is characterized by the clinical triad of fluctuating cognitive impairment, recurrent visual hallucinations, and spontaneous motor features of parkinsonism. In an attempt to define DLB as a distinct clinical syndrome, separate from AD and PD with dementia, a consensus workshop established a new set of diagnostic criteria. Mandatory Presence of dementia, PLUS Core features (at least two out of three for probable DLB): Fluctuation of cognition, function, or alertness Visual hallucinations Parkinsonism Supporting Repeated falls features Syncope Transient loss of consciousness Neuroleptic sensitivity Systematized delusions Nonvisual hallucinations Depression Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder 1. Clinical: the degree to which an individual patient exhibits cognitive impairment, behavioral problems, and parkinsonian features is variable. 2. Pathology: the essential hallmark of DLB pathology is the LB; these LBs are observed in the brain stem nuclei, subcortical regions, and cerebral cortices; in the brain stem, pigmented neurons often present with the classic morphology of intracellular LBs, comprising an eosinophilic core with a peripheral halo; immunohistochemistry using antibodies 34 CLINICAL NEUROLOGY against ubiquitin or α-synuclein has been shown to be more sensitive and specific in the detection of cortical LB; the clinical overlap of AD, DLB, and PD with dementia simi- larly extends to their pathology—most cases of DLB have varying degrees of AD path- ology, including deposits of β-amyloid protein and neurofibrillary tangles. 3. Neurochemistry: substantial loss of cholinergic neurons in the nucleus basalis of Meynert, suggesting a cholinergic mechanism of cognitive impairment in DLB, similar to that of AD; deficits in acetylcholine, γ-aminobutyric acid, dopamine, and serotonin neurotransmis- sion have also been described in DLB; neocortical choline acetyltransferase, a synthetic enzyme for acetylcholine, is decreased significantly, similar to that seen in AD or PD with dementia; reduced dopamine and its metabolites have been shown in DLB brains, possibly accounting for its parkinsonian features. 4. Treatment: must be individualized. a. Although there are no officially approved drugs for DLB, limited experience from clinical trials, as well as past experience with treatment of AD and PD patients, pro- vide some basis for making drug choices; the cholinergic deficit seen in DLB makes cholinesterase inhibitor drugs the mainstay of treatment for cognitive impairment; this class of drugs has also shown therapeutic benefit in reducing hallucinations and other neuropsychiatric symptoms of the disease. b. Patients with DLB are exquisitely sensitive to the extrapyramidal side effects of neu- roleptic medications; thus, only atypical antipsychotic agents, such as quetiapine, should be considered as alternative treatment for psychosis. c. Anxiety and depression are best treated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, whereas rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder may be treated with low-dose clonazepam. d. Parkinsonism responds to dopaminergic agents; however, precipitation or aggrava- tion of hallucinosis may occur; levodopa is preferred over dopamine agonists owing to its lower propensity to cause hallucinations and somnolence. NB: DLB may present as parkinsonism with early-onset visual hallucinations and dementia; they are extremely sensitive to neuroleptics. G. Multi-infarct dementia: history of one or more strokes is usually clear; deficit increases with strokes, and focality of deficits may indicate the type and location of strokes; multiple lacunar infarcts may also give rise to a pseudobulbar palsy with a history of stroke; Binswanger's disease: multi-infarct state of cerebral white matter associated with demen- tia; cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoen- cephalopathy treatment: may respond to cholinesterase inhibitors. H. Other dementias. 1. Mesolimbocortical dementia of non-Alzheimer's type: memory, initiative, and attention are affected more and early; histologically with cell loss and gliosis in hippocampi, caudate nuclei, thalami, and the ventral tegmental area of the mesencephalon 2. Thalamic dementia: rapidly progressive (over few months) dementia associated with choreoathetosis; relatively pure degeneration of the thalamic neurons; myoclonus may be present; should be differentiated from CJD 3. Hypoxic encephalopathy and acute inclusion body (herpes simplex) encephalitis: these two conditions may cause injury to the inferomedial portion of both temporal lobes and may leave the patient with memory and learning difficulties 4. Severe trauma: especially in conditions when prolonged coma and stupor follow the injury, causes well-established cerebral deficits DEMENTIA 35 5. Primary progressive aphasia: a linguistic syndrome of progressive aphasia without initial dementia; may exhibit neuropathologic features identical to frontotemporal dementia of the frontal lobe degeneration type except that speech areas are more heavily involved; progressive aphasia has also been described in the context of AD, CJD, corticobasal gan- glionic degeneration, and classic Pick's disease 6. Prion disorders: CJD, Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker 7. Hydrocephalic dementia: normal pressure hydrocephalus—dementia, gait disturbance (magnetic gait), and urinary incontinence 8. Dementia pugilistica (punch drunk): long-recognized sequelae of multiple head injuries in boxing; pathology: demonstrate β-amyloid protein-containing plaques and neurofibril- lary tangles ADDITIONAL NOTES

Kanye West Drops Price of Hollywood Hills Mansion
Kanye West has put his Hollywood Hills house back on the market -- but with a reduce price tag of $2.95 million, according to the Redfin real estate blog. The estate was originally listed in February for $3.3 million. Several months later it dropped to $3.15 million before being unlisted on Sept. 16 and resurfacing Tuesday at the latest price. Jessica Pasternak of Coldwell Banker has the listing.

The three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom house overlooks the Sunset Strip and is near where The Hills was filmed. The mansion, which he purchased in 2003 for $1.75 million, served as the singer's bachelor pad before buying a new Bel-Air house with Kim Kardashian for $11 million. The couple has been busy renovating the Tuscan-style, five-bedroom, seven-bathroom estate, which spans more than 8,600 square feet.
