"Here are some of the business closings that were announced in just the past two days:"
And so it begins...
There it is dumocrats. Be careful what you wish for, you just got it...and it aint over.
This is one time that I really hate being right.
Bush's fault.
So... everyone is to suppose that the closings listed are due to the squatter being re-elected? Personally, I hope that is the case. But saying so doesn't make it so.
Go ahead, Atlas. Shrug! It's time.
Can't wait to see the employment statistics over the next few months. Between the "adjustment" that needs to be made from the bogus numbers last month and the new layoffs, they ain't gonna be pretty.
It figures. What would you do if you were a business owner confronted by this anti business administration?
I closed my business this year, in part due to the economy. I have evaluated reopening but feel tepid. My reasons are taxes and the EPA. I have no employees but if I did I would factor that in too. I take a big loss this year, one I will find it difficult to recover from.
Aside from the economic impact, care to guess what else goes up when unemployment goes up? Next thing you know, little Lintfocker will be getting beat up on the short bus for his lunch money. What a shame.
I usually choose "featherlicker", but this a nice alternative. Thank you.
I work for the largest health care provider in the country..
With O's relection and ObamaCare full speed ahead you guessed it.
We had a call today...they laid off a lot of middle management; based on our entire workforce size we slashed about 17%. Most are leaving on good terms and are being given two weeks to close out projects and hand stuff off. there was one melt down I know of...I'm sure the rest are thinking 1) reference 2) there is always a chance something else might open up internally
And of course in stride the VP told those of us left need to figure out ways to get more efficient; she also mentioned the fact we are all salary and this means you don't work a 40 hour week. I haven't in years but still.
This weekend seems like a great time to polish up the resume.
Give them what they paid for. Wall street just amazes me. They paid and got Obama then they sell off. What kind of stupid morons are they?
Its amazing how many NC construction trucks are in SC. Most have non-Caucasian and Non African American drivers..
Is that PC enough...:whistling:
I believe the next unemployment figures come out on December 7th (odd coincidence). At this rate, they may shoot up to double digits...even with the Obama fudge.

Isaac's cost to state government tops $100M
Gov. Bobby Jindal's office says Louisiana state agencies have spent more than $100 million preparing for and responding to Hurricane Isaac.
The latest tally released Wednesday was $116 million, and that cost was expected to continue rising. That includes the price tags for mobilizing the National Guard, setting up and supplying shelters, bringing food and water to damaged parishes and paying state employee for storm response.
FEMA was expected to cover at least 75 percent of the cost, leaving the state with a $29 million bill so far. The governor's Division of Administration has said a state emergency response fund contains more than $16 million that can help cover state costs.
Jindal also is asking the federal government to pick up more of the storm's cost.

boy oh boy do you need a life. very sad and pathetic
The question you really should be asking is if their pipeline was not so great, why would NVS and TEVA partner with them and why would Orbimed buy a ton of shares last quarter along with other major institutions?
desperation! i love it. squeal shorts!!!
Keep squealing shorts!!!
thanks for your pointless point of view
They are meeting with an analyst today. Goods news is coming from their presentation
Bad day for you :)
but you insinuating you have some sort of "inside" info is ridiculous and false.
come out guys!
The problem is that the sales of their biggest selling drug decreased substantially. Not good imo
yeah but they much further along in their clinical trials now and they have the support of novartis and there has been a huge increase in institutional support from some big institutions.
you need a life. boy oh boy do you need a life. very sad
too much time on your hands. life did not work the way you planned
you really need a life. very sad
This must be your first time looking at biotechs. You do realize that often bios are valued on potential, not earnings. There are countless number of bio companies with market caps in the multi-billions with no revenues/earnings to speak of. You are obviously new to the game.
it would be nice but you are full of it

Chinese Drywall Complaint Center Now Mocks President Obama's Speech About American Values-Ever Hear Of The Toxic Chinese Drywall Disaster In Florida or the US Southeast?
On Tuesday January 24th 2012 President Obama gave a State of the Union speech that had constant reminders about American values, or never leaving US citizens behind. The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, "We have just one slight problem with President Obama, and his speech about outsourcing to China, or Americans not leaving other US Citizens behind. After three years in office, President Obama has yet to mention the toxic Chinese drywall disaster in Florida one time in Public. Actions really do speck louder than words, and for the 100,000′s of US citizens, stuck in toxic Chinese drywall hell, or devastated because of it, in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Southeast Texas, and Virginia the facts are pretty simple; President Obama has been a no show, for what we consider to be the absolute worst environmental disaster for US homeowners-ever." The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center has been saying for at least two years there are at least 100,000 toxic Chinese drywall homes in Florida alone, with sick families, and at the same time the group has been mocking President Obama's inability, or unwillingness to mention this disaster one time in public. The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, "As long as all four of the Republican Presidential hopefuls are in Florida, how about a show and tell any day this week, all devoted to toxic Chinese drywall, and President Obama's enormous failure to lead, or show up. Just pick the day." http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com
(PRWEB) January 25, 2012
The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, "We don't know what the long term health consequences of toxic Chinese drywall are going to be for homeowners, or their children in Florida, or the US Southeast, but they will not be good. Unfortunately, our President (Obama) has yet to yet to make the long term exposure health issues related to imported toxic Chinese drywall an issue. In fact, he has yet to mention the toxic Chinese drywall disaster one time in public? He seems to like to go to Florida all the time, but it appears his only interest in Florida is campaign fund raising events, or news media photo opportunities." In his State of the Union address on Tuesday January 24th 2012, President Obama made reference to his handling of the BP Oil Spill Disaster in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Here is the reality; nearly a month after the BP oil spill disaster former Clinton senior advisor said this, " Carville, the famously outspoken Louisianian who was a chief political aide to Bill and Hillary Clinton, told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Thursday May 20th 2010, that the administration's response to the spill has been "lackadaisical." The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, "President Obama's response to the toxic Chinese drywall disaster in Florida, or the rest of the US Gulf States goes beyond lackadaisical, we think its negligence beyond comprehension, and we cannot figure out why the Republican Presidential Candidates are not all over this issue. We are trying to get help for victims of the toxic Chinese drywall disaster, President Obama, and taxpayer funded federal agencies that are supposed to care are all no shows, and we are not backing down. It is show up time." http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com
For attribution purposes according to the San Francisco Chronicle on November 2nd 2011, "On the topic of real estate deals, real estate investments, or real estate bargains, there are warning signs for real estate investors, or even potential home buyers in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Southeast Texas, and even Virginia to be on the lookout for toxic Chinese drywall foreclosures. Banks, and Fannie Mae are selling these toxic homes, or condominiums foreclosures with the only disclosure being As Is. And President Obama has yet to mention the toxic Chinese drywall disaster one time in public."
The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, "How does a sitting US President not show up to a mess like toxic Chinese drywall in 10,000′s of Florida homes, or throughout the US Southeast? By not showing up, President Obama, and various federal agencies have allowed this disaster to simply get worse. Don't think this is a disaster? We are hoping Republican Presidential Candidates including Governor Romney, and Congressman Ron Paul go to any metro area in Florida, including Cape Coral, Miami, or Tampa to see for themselves. Congressman Ron Paul is a medical doctor, perhaps he can explain to the President, and the national press the good things Chinese made hydrogen sulfide, in toxic Chinese drywall do for a child's health in Florida. Perhaps Rush Limbaugh could devote a special day this week for callers from Florida, or Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Southeast Texas, or Virginia, who have been stuck in toxic Chinese drywall hell since we all became aware of it; at about the same time now President Obama was being sworn into office. It would be really good radio, and we think the main stream media like NBC would be forced to cover this toxic Chinese disaster, that the Obama Administration has failed to respond to." http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

We can't know for sure what happened. We can only give you our best guess. Mine is that the boat was overpowered by the wind and too much sail area while trying to beat to windward, and she was laboring. Here's your description of what happened: "...
the boat heeled over further than I think she ever has. Close to a knock down with rail buried DEEP in the water. The boat appeared to stall or slow considerably and the rudder felt like it locked up. I could not steer much at all
." In my opinion, excessive heeling caused an increase in drag, and that, along with the wave chop, gradually reduced her speed. As she gradually lost speed, she gradually lost lift over the surfaces of the keel and rudder, and at some point, her aerodynamic and hydrodynamic surfaces (the keel, rudder and sails) stalled. As she lost speed, you had to turn the wheel or tiller even more to keep her head to windward, and the effect of applying hard rudder was like applying the brakes, slowing her even more.
You said, " I've had more sail up in heavier winds with less drastic effects." On those other occasions, you might not have encountered as much chop, or you might have had the sails trimmed a little better, or your underwater surfaces might have been a little cleaner and smoother. A slight difference in the conditions can result in a very different result. I think it would not have happened if you had tucked in a single reef and rolled up a little more jib.
Of course, it could have been a lobster pot, but from your description, I don't think so.

From the moment sixteen-year-old Madison Grant is abducted, an unthinkable terrorist plot is set in motion--pitting Special Agent Kelly Jones against her most powerful adversary yet. The kidnapper's ransom demands aren't monetary...they come at a cost that no American can afford to pay.
As Kelly's fiancé, Jake Riley, races to find Madison, Kelly is assigned to another disturbing case: the murder and dismemberment of a senator. At first the two cases don't appear to be related. But as Kelly navigates her way through the darkest communities of America--from skinheads to biker gangs to border militias--she discovers a horrible truth. A shadowy figure who calls himself The Gatekeeper is uniting hate groups, opening the door to the worst homegrown attack in American history.
Madison Grant leaned over the sink, careful not to get her jeans wet as she applied another coat of gloss. She rubbed her lips together, smacked them once, then dabbed the excess with her fingertip. She examined the resulting pink sheen critically—perfect. Stepping back, she tossed the wand into her purse. It was actually her sister's knockoff Fendi. Bree would totally flip when she realized it was gone. Hopefully that would distract her from checking for other things that had gone missing, like her driver's license and social security card. Of course by that time the shit would have hit the fan anyway. Their mom would be so freaked out that Bree's complaints about a stolen purse would fall on deaf ears. At least that's what Madison was hoping.
She shrugged on the purse and grabbed the handle of her carry-on. It was their fault for basically ignoring her. Ever since the divorce, Dad was only a voice on the phone, and Mom spent most of the day in her room, shades drawn. And Bree was so busy with her friends, she barely bothered to talk to Madison. No, the only person who really cared about her now was Shane.
Madison flushed at the thought of him. They'd only known each other a few weeks, but she could already tell this was it, her one true love. They'd met online and instantly hit it off. She lived for the sweet texts he sent while she sat in class, bored out of her skull. They had these long, intense IM sessions where they talked about everything: what they wanted to be when they grew up, what their families were like. He was the only person Madison had confided in about how shitty things had gotten since the divorce, how awful it was to be dumped in a new city across the country, how she hated school and everyone in it.
Shane was older, nineteen, in his first year of college at San Francisco State. But he said the age difference didn't matter since girls were more mature, and he was totally right. Madison was a lot older than sixteen in her mind. And with Bree's license and social security card, she could get a job. Shane had offered to let her crash with him for as long as she needed to. He hinted that since they'd be spending the rest of their lives together anyway, they might as well get started. When he sent the plane ticket she got so excited, dancing around her bedroom. Then she swiped some of the cash her mom hid around the house and lied about staying with a friend for the weekend. That gave her a few days before they'd realize she was missing. And now she had finally arrived.
It was hard to believe she was about to meet Shane in person. It was going to be perfect, just like in the movies. They'd kiss, he'd look into her eyes and tell her he loved her. She'd work at a cool café in the city while he finished school. Maybe she'd take some classes herself, then eventually they'd get married. They'd have two kids, a boy named Max and a girl named Penelope. Someday she might even call her parents to tell them what a great job she'd done with her life. They'd forgive her for leaving, and everything would turn out the way it should have been all along.
On the other side of the security gate, a guy wearing a cap held a sign that read GRANT. Madison's jaw almost dropped. Shane must have some serious cash—first the plane ticket, now a limo? Maybe his family was rich. He was probably keeping it a secret to see if she liked him for who he was, like in that movie where the prince pretended to be a normal guy. Which was silly, she'd love Shane even if he was totally poor. But she had to admit, the thought of living in a huge house was definitely appealing. Better yet she might not have to get a job, she could just hang out all day. Madison repressed a giggle, trying to look serious and adult as she approached the driver.
"Hi. Are you here for me?"
The chauffeur eyed her, and she drew herself up to her full five-seven. "Madison Grant?"
"Yeah. I mean, yes, that's me."
The chauffeur motioned for her bag. She followed him to a Lincoln Town Car. He popped the trunk, tucked the suitcase inside, then opened the passenger door. Madison climbed in, impressed by the plush surroundings. There was even a bottle of sparkling water in the cup caddy. She unscrewed the cap and took a swig, then belted herself in. The car eased into the steady stream of traffic leaving the terminal, and Madison settled back against the seat.
"You know where we're going, right?" she asked after a minute.
The driver didn't turn his head, just nodded.
Madison was self-conscious. She'd never been in a limo before, but thought there was supposed to be one of those panels between them. Without one, she felt obligated to make small talk.
"So where are you from?" She asked after a short pause.
The driver didn't respond, and she figured his English wasn't very good. He looked Russian, at least around the eyes. Madison sipped more of the water. It had a funny metallic aftertaste, probably because it was from France. Her eyelids drooped. The flight had only been six hours, but she'd spent the whole time amped up in what Dad called her "condensed matter" state. It wouldn't hurt to take a little nap, she decided. After all, she didn't want to be sleepy the first time she met Shane.
When she awoke it was dark. Madison felt drowsy, disoriented. She wasn't in the car anymore, and wondered if they'd arrived and the driver hadn't bothered waking her. If she had been asleep when Shane first saw her that would be totally embarrassing, she realized, mortification jolting her from a stupor. She was on some sort of bed, there was a rough blanket beneath her. Was she in his dorm room? She stood and felt her way across. It was pitch-black, cold, and she shivered in her light sweater. Shane had warned her to pack layers, but she'd wanted to look cute so she'd kept her fleece jacket in her suitcase. She groped until she reached the wall. It was freezing and felt like metal. She rapped on it once, tentatively, then worked her way along it to a door. There was a handle but it was huge, also metal, and didn't respond to her tugs. Madison bit her lower lip, experiencing a tremor of fear. Something was seriously wrong.
"Shane?" She called out hesitantly. Her voice sounded squeaky. She tried to inject more assurance as she repeated, "Hey, Shane, are you out there? I think I'm stuck!"
There was no response. Madison felt a tear trickle down her face, followed quickly by another. As she slid to the floor and clasped her knees to her chest, she began sobbing in earnest. She was all alone, and no one even knew she was missing.
Jake Riley leaned back in his chair, crossing his feet on top of his new desk. It was solid oak, and according to the antiques dealer had once belonged to George Stein-brenner. Even if that was bullshit, it was a nice desk, he decided. And the Steinbrenner story would probably impress potential clients.
His office was still filled with boxes. It had taken longer than expected to find a suitable space, commercial rents in New York were through the roof. Even with the exorbitant severance package from Jake's previous employer, the new company would have to secure some contracts soon. But they'd made the right choice, he thought, gazing through the floor to ceiling windows. After searching the entire borough for an office with room to expand, they'd finally settled in one of the new skyscrapers jutting up around Columbus Circle. Central Park was across the street, and Jake was looking forward to eating lunch there, maybe strapping on his running shoes for a jog on slow days. Although hopefully there wouldn't be many of those.
He ignored the needling voice that questioned the decision to branch out on his own. Sure, Dmitri Christou had paid him well, but for the first time in his life he was his own boss. And hell, they'd be doing good work along the way. They'd decided to name the company The Longhorn Group, a nod to the fact that both he and his partner originally hailed from Texas. If Jake had his say, The Longhorn Group would quickly become the go-to company for K&R insurers.
K&R was shorthand for "Kidnap and Ransom." In recent years there had been a sharp uptick in the number of kidnappings of American executives abroad, some figures estimated as high as twenty percent. To secure the release of abducted employees, many companies hired private firms to either negotiate with kidnappers or, failing that, attempt a rescue. South American countries, particularly Colombia, were the most notorious for kidnappings, but plenty took place stateside. They just weren't widely publicized, since no corporation wanted to put ideas in someone's head. And despite the increased number of companies signing on for K&R insurance, most operatives trained in negotiation and recovery were busy working security details in the Middle East. Jake was hoping The Longhorn Group would fill that void.
Eventually Kelly might come on board, and they'd be able to work together again. It was a nice thought. Jake picked up the sole item on his desk, a framed photo of her, and gazed at it. It showed her in profile, sitting on a beach, red hair reflecting the setting sun. She always griped about the angle, but then she hated every photo of herself. He thought it captured a side of her that was usually hidden—there was a vulnerability in the way she held her knees that always got him. He set the picture back on the desk. They were officially engaged now, had been for months, but hadn't set a date.
Posted October 20, 2009
I really enjoyed reading The Gatekeeper. It is the third in the series and I would recommend reading The Tunnels and The Boneyard first. Agent Kelly Jones is a smart and complicated lead character. The plotline in The Gatekeeper is scary because it is completely believable. Instead of one big climatic scene at the end of the story, the author has woven incredibly intense scenes throughout the story to keep you guessing. I can't wait to read more from Michelle Gagnon!

This is the third book in Michelle Gagnon's Kelly Jones series. I really enjoyed this book. It is a bit of a departure from the previous two novels. In this story she breaks away from the serial killer vibe to shadow conspiracy/political intrigue kinda story. The plot is interesting and the action is thrilling. The suspense is about as well-written as any author I have read. And the cliffhangar, WOW! While its not necessary to read The Tunnels or Boneyard, it may help with some of the more subtle plot points. Besides, they are great novels in their own right, so its a win-win.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Besides being her 3rd awesome book Michelle threw one of the biggest cliffhangers ever, left me rereading and rereading to see if I missed something somewhere's in the chapter, no author that I have read have ever done one the way she did. Can't wait for the next one REALLY!!!! Way to go Michelle!!"Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Michelle Gagnon's latest work, The Gatekeeper, is packed with twists and turns that will keep you guessing to the very end. She demonstrates great skill in managing two thrilling plots that make the book difficult to put down.
For those who love to escape into a tale of heart-pounding action - A kidnapping, a grizzly murder and organized terrorist groups posing a too-real threat to U.S. national security - The Gatekeeper is a "must read".
I look forward to Michelle Gagnon's next book!

FBI Special Agent Kelly Jones is part of an investigative team looking into the brutal murder US Senator Duke Morris. The prevalent theory to the motive for such butchery is that his death is tied to Morris' highly visible role in ending illegal immigrants crossing into the United States; a warning of sorts to back off or else.
Kelly's fiancé former agent Jake Riley agrees to help the boyfriend of a co-worker. Someone abducted Randall Grant's sixteen year old daughter, Madison.. The kidnappers' demands are shocking and unacceptable; Jake needs to rescue the teen soonest or all hell will break out, Soon these obviously separate cases collide in a frightening domestic convergence at a mystical being the Gatekeeper who somehow has united the most despicable violent hate groups in America preparing them for the third American Revolution.
The third Jones FBI thriller (see Boneyard and The Tunnel) is a super action-packed tale that occurs in a pulse pumping short time frame of June 25 through July 4. Ironically for most of the time, the lead pair works on separate nasty investigations until they connect when it seems too late. Set aside time as this one grips you from start to finish with two incredible unexpected twists as Michelle Gagnon makes the Pogo case: "We Have Met the Enemy and He Is Us".

Correct me if I am wrong (I am not a C++ programmer), but I don't think you can use a priority queue because you need to update the values.
Sure you can. The STL heap functions don't provide an update function, but you don't exactly need one in the context of A* if you keep enough extra state. A properly written heap update performs in O(log n) time, but the only way to perform an update using the STL provided functions is to modify the contents directly yourself and then call make_heap() which runs in O(n) time. This is not desirable. However, you don't need to do a full heap rebuild; as long as you keep flags to know when a node is opened or closed, you can simply keep throwing on the updated node cost values into your heap and every time you pop off the heap you should check if the node you retrieved is open or not. If it isn't open, just skip it!
This is how I've implemented my A* function. You may be concerned that you'll have multiple instances of a node in the heap with different costs, but this doesn't actually affect the correctness of the algorithm as long as you have a flag (or some other structure) to determine if the node is in the open list or not. The heap serves only to keep track of the next min cost node to explore, not to actually tell you if a node is open or not. And due to the relaxation process of edges inherent in shortest path algorithms, you will always be popping off the most current cost estimates to a node if you have multiple copies.
Using a good structure to retrieve the min cost node is critical to good performance in cases where you have a large map to path through, but possibly just as important is the initialization time. I haven't looked thoroughly at your code but I also suspect your graph initialization can be a bottleneck. You should profile or instrument your code so you know exactly which parts take the most time. If your main loop takes up a lot of time, chances are you need a faster structure to retrieve your min cost nodes. Currently, I'm inclined to believe that most of your performance is dependent the open list data structure, simply because you stated earlier that the performance depends heavily on the length of the path.

A breakthrough strategy to improve the effectiveness of the only tuberculosis vaccine approved for humans provided superior protection against the deadly disease in a pre-clinical test, report scientists at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston in Nature Medicine's Advance Online Publication March 1. Their findings resulted from more than 6 years of research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Bacille Calmette-Gurin (BCG) provides only partial protection against tuberculosis (TB) in children and is ineffective in adults. As a result, tuberculosis still kills almost 2 million people a year world wide. "An improved vaccine is widely seen as the best potential method of controlling the disease and is an urgent public health priority," said Chinnaswamy Jagannath, Ph.D., lead author and associate professor at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston.
BCG is a live but weakened form of a bacterium, M. bovis, which causes tuberculosis in cattle. It is sufficiently related to the human pathogen to stimulate production of specialized immune cells that fight off TB infection when it is injected into a person as a vaccine.
Many attempts have been made to improve the vaccine by incorporating antigens (molecular components of the bacteria) to induce a stronger immune response. However, tuberculosis and BCG have evasive mechanisms that prevent the development of stronger immune responses. Investigators at the UT Health Science Center at Houston investigated mechanisms by which BCG evades immune stimulating mechanisms and devised two means to neutralize them. The scientists used genetically-modified organisms and a drug used for organ transplantation to block BCG's evasive mechanisms, causing it to induce stronger immune responses. Research collaborator on the genetically-modified organisms project was Subramanian Dhandayuthapani, Ph.D., an assistant professor at The University of Texas Health Scien

Longtime La AG William Guste Jr., dies at 91
William J. Guste Jr., who served five consecutive terms as attorney general to become Louisiana's longest-serving chief attorney, has died, family and friends confirmed Thursday. He was 91.
Guste, known by most as "Billy," died Wednesday at Chateau de Notre Dame in New Orleans, where he had been receiving nursing care for the past four years, said Guste's son, Bernard "Randy" Guste.
"He was ready," Guste said of his father. "It was just time. There's a great sense of sadness combined with relief for us all who've lost a father and a husband."
Asked whether his father had been ill, Guste said, "No, not really. But when you get to be 91 years old, you get weak. He just died a peaceful death."
The elder Guste worked in private practice for more than 20 years before being elected to the state Senate in 1968. He was elected as Louisiana's attorney general in 1972, the first of his five consecutive terms. He served until 1992.
Former Gov. Edwin Edwards said in a statement through a Facebook message from his wife, Trina, that he and Guste had been friends since 1971. "He was an effective and honorable public servant. We worked together on tidelands litigation and captured billions of dollars for the state. I extend my deepest sympathies to his wife and family."
Guste also was a former proprietor of Antoine's Restaurant, the historic French Quarter restaurant opened by his great-grandfather Antoine Alciatore in 1840. He and his brother, Roy Guste Sr., were the fourth generation to run Antoine's, which bills itself as the nation's oldest family-run restaurant.
"As a person, he was a consummate gentleman," recalled Rusty Jabour, who served as Guste's press secretary for 10 years. "As an attorney general, he was a courageous warrior who fought on behalf of the people of Louisiana tirelessly. He took on major utility companies, major oil and gas companies and consumer companies who had enormous resources to battle the state and he did so without concern for politics."
Louisiana's current attorney general, Buddy Caldwell, said in a statement that Guste will be missed.
"Billy was a courageous, dutiful and honest attorney general for 20 years," Caldwell said. "A champion of many great legal causes, he tackled everything from environmental issues to consumer fraud. Billy was a fierce protector of our constitution and fought many battles on the state's behalf. ... It was clear that he dedicated his life to improving Louisiana and those around him."
Guste established an environmental law section in the Louisiana Department of Justice and was the state's representative in legal challenges to laws restricting abortion and expanding the teaching of Biblical creation in public schools. His work on lawsuits involving oil and gas royalties led to settlements worth hundreds of millions of dollars to the state, Jabour said.
"He was always driven by the question, `Is this the right thing for Louisiana?'" Jabour said.
Guste also presided over the National Association of Attorneys General. In addition, President Ronald Reagan appointed him to the national Commission on Organized Crime and served on the national Environmental Enforcement Council.
Jabour said in addition to his love for the state, Guste was "tremendously devoted to his family and attended Mass every day." In 2000, he received the Papal Honor of Knight Commander of the Order of St. Gregory the Great from Pope John Paul II for his "tireless efforts to serve God and neighbor."
Guste is survived by his wife of 65 years, Dorothy, and nine of his 10 children as well as a host of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
"Mom's doing OK," Bernard Guste said when asked how she was handling his father's death. "At 89, she's getting around really well."
Funeral arrangements are pending. Jacob Schoen & Son Funeral Home is in charge of the services.

Educational institutions are always looking for ways to enhance student learning, and to that end, many are adopting or expanding their digital curricula. That requires investing in computing infrastructure — but it doesn't have to mean overwhelming your IT staff or breaking the budget. The key is to abandon the old manual, time-consuming and error-prone methods for systems management tasks and find a systems management solution that will streamline and automate tasks like imaging machines, tracking hardware and software inventory, installing software and updates, managing troubleshooting workflows, enforcing security policies, and reducing energy usage.
Dell KACE solutions enable you to efficiently manage the complete systems lifecycle, from deployment to retirement, empowering your IT team to gain efficiencies, cut costs, enhance security and focus on more strategic projects. In short, they work hard so you don't have to.
The Dell KACE portfolio is comprehensive, providing initial operating system deployment, application distribution, patch management, asset management, endpoint security and service desk functionality. Dell KACE solutions support all popular operating systems and can manage all of your computing devices enterprise-wide. Plus, you have the flexibility to implement the Dell KACE solutions in a way that best fits your environment and resources — as on-premise physical appliances that plug into your environment or as on-premise virtual appliances that can run on your own servers. One solution (the Dell KACE K1000) is even available over the cloud as a hosted virtual appliance.
Even better, Dell KACE solutions are easy to deploy and use, and they offer a low total cost of ownership (TCO). With a simple plug-and-play architecture that virtually eliminates installation and maintenance, along with scalability to meet the needs of your growing organization, Dell KACE solutions are designed to be both immediately productive and trouble-free for the long term, saving you time and money.
To learn more about how the Dell KACE portfolio can streamline and automate systems management talks to support digital learning at your school or college, be sure to read our whitepaper, "Solving Systems Management Challenges for Education."
In my previous blog entry, I explained three ways that Dell KACE solutions are supporting digital learning at schools and colleges by increasing efficiencies, reducing costs and improving security. Now let's look at three more.
While access to the internet helps students study, it also introduces security risks. The Dell KACE portfolio helps keep your systems secure and available by automatically patching operating systems and major applications with the latest security updates, Dell KACE enables you to prevent data leaks by providing policy-based lockdown of USB, storage and communication devices with multiple levels of security. You can also establish a least-privileged user environment, enabling students and teachers to install software, make desktop changes and deploy ActiveX controls that IT has deemed secure without giving them risky local admin rights that would allow them to install unapproved software, copy data to flash drives or incur other risks.
Smartphones and tablets enable "anywhere, anytime learning," and the Dell EMS portfolio enables you to efficiently manage and secure these devices the same way you manage laptops, desktops, servers and virtual machines. This consistent yet flexible approach greatly simplifies solution deployment, device provisioning and security policy enforcement across all device types.
Many schools and colleges leaves machines running overnight, over weekends and even over breaks because they have no easy way to shut them down. This results in high energy bills and shortened computer life.
But educational institutions that have adopted Dell KACE are saving tens of thousands of dollars a year by automatically powering down Windows and Mac machines either on a schedule or based on system inactivity. Systems can be put in any of a number of power-saving states — for example, you can choose to power down only individual components (such as the hard drive or monitor) or to achieve maximum power savings by powering down the entire system. Pre-configured and ad hoc reporting makes it easy to demonstrate the resulting savings.
For more information about how Dell KACE can help support digital learning at your school or college, be sure to read our whitepaper, "Solving Systems Management Challenges for Education."
In my previous blog, I explained some of the significant systems management challenges facing educational institutions as they adopt more digital curricula to deliver a quality learning experience for their students. Without the right tools, these systems management challenges can quickly overwhelm even the most experienced IT staff.
But many educational institutions have found a better way — they have streamlined endpoint management, improved uptime and reduced IT overhead by implementing Dell KACE. Here are three ways these solutions help educational institutions to increase efficiencies, cut costs and improve security, all while maximizing the student learning experience. (I'll explain three more ways in my next blog post.)
First, the Dell KACE portfolio significantly eases the burden on IT by centralizing and automating a wide range of systems management and Windows workspace management tasks. For example, you can get detailed hardware and software inventory information for all your Windows, Mac and Linux systems, including desktops, notebooks, servers, printers and networking equipment such as routers and switches. It's easy to generate the system-wide IT reports you need to prove your license and regulatory compliance.
Dell KACE solutions also automate the administration, distribution and installation of virtually any application, service pack, update, hotfix or digital asset for Windows, Mac and Linux desktops, laptops and servers. Dell KACE helps you ensure that computer type, hardware, browser versions and operating systems are configured properly, and provides insight into whether you need to buy new hardware or upgrade bandwidth and operating systems to support digital learning. More broadly, Dell KACE makes it easy to manage Windows firewalls, connect to file servers, add and remove printers, manage shortcuts, manage Outlook profiles, configure internet browser settings and manage administrative privileges.
With manual approaches, imaging systems in preparation for each upcoming school term can take months. Dell KACE can slash that workload to weeks or even days by streamlining and automating the entire re-imaging process for both Windows and Mac platforms. You simply maintain a few thin gold master images, tailoring them for particular situations. Dell KACE deploys the images over the network, eliminating the need to visit each machine or bring them all to a central location. To reduce bandwidth use and speed deployment, you can create virtual deployment appliances at remote locations and deploy images from them, and you can even deploy an image to multiple systems simultaneously.
Third, Dell KACE's service desk eliminates the need for IT staff to physically visit machines to resolve issues, speeding resolution and enabling students, teachers and IT staff to be more productive. Plus, automatic notifications save students, faculty and staff time by keeping everyone informed about the status of their tickets.
Be sure to read my next blog post, where I'll explain three more ways Dell KACE can help support digital learning at your school or college. For more details about addressing the systems management challenges that educational institutions are facing today, be sure to read our whitepaper, "Solving Systems Management Challenges for Education."
More and more educational institutions are turning to digital curricula to deliver a quality learning experience for their students. However, this strategy comes with a host of systems management challenges.
First there's the infrastructure, which is complex in multiple ways. Often, IT must manage several computer labs that are physically dispersed across multiple campus and satellite locations —labs that are often home to thousands of Windows, Apple Mac and Linux desktops, laptops and tablets, along with a fast-growing inventory of Chromebooks and other devices, all running a large number of different applications. Bring your own device (BYOD) initiatives add user-owned devices to the mix. How can IT keep track of all the hardware and software, ensure (and prove) licensing and regulatory compliance, and keep machines up to date and secure?
Of course, the client hardware and applications are just the tip of the IT infrastructure iceberg. IT also needs to manage firewalls, connect to file servers, add and remove printers, and so on. Moreover, they need to be able to troubleshoot issues quickly to minimize disruptions to student learning, and keep everyone in the loop about the status of issues that affect them.
Then there is security. Educational institutions need to be able to block access to objectionable and dangerous websites and prevent malware from wreaking havoc on systems. They also need to control the use of USB, storage and communication devices to prevent both the unauthorized removal of sensitive data from the network and the introduction of viruses and unapproved software onto the network. And they need to "watch the watchers," by restricting administrative privileges and monitoring privileged access to critical systems.
Finally, there are the costs. For example, providing systems to support digital curricula means more energy use. Educational institutions want to save energy and money by automatically turning computers off, either on schedule or after a period of inactivity. And to keep their IT staff lean, they need to automate and streamline as many of these systems management tasks as possible.
Thousands of educational institutions around the globe have already discovered a great way to address all of these challenges: Dell KACE. The Dell KACE appliances centralize and automate the entire range of systems management tasks for hardware and software assets from deployment to retirement, while Dell Desktop Authority provides centralized, granular control over all Windows desktops and applications. For example, one of the largest school districts in the United States, Seminole County Public Schools, is efficiently managing its 30,000 desktops and laptops with Dell KACE — and saving $100,000 over three years. At the other end of the spectrum, GEMS Education relies on Dell KACE to ensure that its 2,500 desktops, laptops and tablets are always ready for teachers and students — deploying new machines three times faster and satisfying teachers' requests for new curricula in minutes.
To learn more about how Dell KACE solutions have helped educational institutions like yours support better educational outcomes by streamlining endpoint management, improving up time and lowering IT overhead costs, take a look at our new white paper, "Solving Systems Management Challenges for Education." It explains six specific ways Dell KACE solutions are helping thousands of educational institutions increase efficiency and reduce costs.
The third platform of computing — social, mobile, cloud and big data — is here, and it has profound implications for systems management.
Back in the days of mainframes (the first computing platform), systems management had to deal with millions of users and thousands of applications. Client/server and internet technologies (the second platform) increased those numbers to hundreds of millions of users and tens of thousands of apps.
But even those numbers pale in comparison to today's numbers. Today, we're well on our way to fulfilling IDC's prediction that by 2018, we will see 3.8 billion mobile users, 40 billion devices (five per person!) and 24 zetabytes of data. How can organizations maintain security and compliance in this new reality? Yesterday's systems management won't cut it.
Users are already demanding that technology at work match the unrelenting innovation they experience in their personal lives, including ever more powerful laptops, dizzyingly high-speed wireless networks, ubiquitous VPNs and, especially, choice — choice about which devices to use and where, when and how to get work done. Armed primarily with manual processes and disparate point tools, IT departments are struggling to give employees the technologies and choices they require while maintaining governance and control.
You need to rethink systems management and move towards a unified approach to meet the challenges of today's more complex and ever growing environments. That approach must ensure security and compliance for all connected systems and devices and also deliver the flexibility and scalability needed as users become even more mobile and the internet of things (IoT) continues to expand into the enterprise.
On Tuesday, April 28, Dell will be hosting a webcast with IDC. At this webcast, you will learn what IDC research manager Robert Young has to say about improving security through more comprehensive systems management of your connected endpoints. You will also find out more about how Dell Endpoint Systems Management (ESM), featuring Dell KACE appliances, can provide you with a unified anypoint systems management approach to manage and secure your enterprise into the future — efficiently and effectively.
I hope you'll join us.
Everybody in IT wants systems management. Traditionally, that has been accomplished by installing an agent on a managed system. However, not all systems or devices can support an agent. Some systems, such as electronic kiosks, ATMs or point-of-service devices are locked and simply do not allow installation of any additional software, including an agent from a systems management solution. And many smart, connected non-computer devices, such as printers or scanners, do not allow for installation of an agent.
And, not everybody wants to install an agent on all of their systems. Justifiable or not, there is a perception in some IT organizations that the installation of a systems management agent can negatively impact performance. This results in reluctance to install agents on some systems, primarily on mission-critical production servers.
How does your IT team come down on this issue? Solutions that provide agentless capabilities can expand the scope of your systems management to more devices without worrying about performance concerns.
Once they have discovered your assets, most systems management products can perform inventory and tracking without an agent ("agentlessly"); discovering the assets without an agent, however, is another story.
Agentless systems management is easier for organizations that are reluctant to install an agent yet still want complete asset lifecycle management: hardware and software inventory, reporting, service desk, etc. And, of course, you need agentless systems management if you want to discover and monitor non-computer assets like your printers, network devices and storage devices.
Agentless management connects over SSH, Telnet, SNMP and other protocols to collect device information and report inventory. It's useful if you're running unusual OS versions/distributions, or if your organization simply prefers to manage its systems without installing an agent.
A new comparison paper from Enterprise Management Associates, Inc. (EMA), called "Best Practices in Lifecycle Management," provides guidance on the agentless asset management capabilities of leading systems management solutions and is a valuable guide for any IT team planning to implement a new systems management product or upgrade an existing one. Download a free copy of the paper and have a look at page 5 of the PDF for a longer discussion about agent-based vs. agentless discovery and inventory management.
We are pleased to announce the immediate release of Service Pack 1 for the Dell KACE K2000 Deployment Appliance version 3.7. The K2000 Systems Deployment Appliance makes it easy to fulfill all of your organization's systems provisioning needs with capabilities for inventory assessment, OS and image deployment, user state migration, system configuration, application installation, and recovery. The K2000 improves deployment efficiency and reliability while reducing deployment time and bandwidth consumption with features such as multicasting for Windows and Mac OS X and a powerful task engine that automates pre-installation and post-installation tasks.
Service Pack 1 comprises the following enhancements:
Service pack 1 is available for immediate download through the Dell Software support portal at:
Best wishes!
Are you tired of the manual effort to manage your IT environment or the redundancy of using multiple point solutions? Are the risks of a security breach or the costs of lost productivity becoming too high to ignore? Is your existing systems management solution too complicated to use or too expensive to upgrade? Whether you are looking to invest in a systems lifecycle management solution for the first time or looking to replace your existing solution, be sure you consider all financial components.
To continue my series of posts on "Best Practices in Lifecycle Management," a new comparison paper from Enterprise Management Associates, Inc. (EMA), I want to highlight the Financial Comparison section of the paper. It shows you not only the dollars you'll spend on the solution itself, but also the other costs involved in executing a successful systems lifecycle management implementation.
You'll need to take several types of costs into account:
For each of these costs, the paper builds out a total implementation cost based on size of organization, number of servers, length of maintenance contract, number of locations and other variables. It's easy to follow and it's designed to help you pencil out your own costs.
Get your free copy of "Best Practices in Lifecycle Management" and have a look at pages 14 through 18 in the PDF for EMA's detailed cost comparison of four products, including Dell KACE Appliances.
You really can achieve a single view of your entire connected environment.
Throughout this series of posts I've emphasized that full control with a single, overall view is the promised land for systems management in the age of mobility, BYOD and the Internet of Things (IoT). It's the only way you can keep the corporate data on your users' personally owned smartphones, tablets and PCs as secure as the datat on your corporate-owned computers and servers, while also managing a host of new, network-connected, non-computer devices.
The combination of the KACE K1000 Systems Management Appliance and Dell Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) can help you reach the promised land of anypoint systems management without the patchwork of point solutions you've likely accumulated. As shown in the diagram, the Dell KACE K1000, through its integration with Dell EMM, provides you with a single, integrated view of your entire environment – corporate-owned devices as well as secure workspaces:
Did we leave any devices out? We don't think so. The Dell KACE-Dell EMM solution gives IT administrators the control and insight they need, while giving users the privacy they want and the freedom to be productive using their own devices.
Once you've read Part 2 of our e-book, "A Single Approach to Anypoint Systems Management," you'll want to see a live web demo of the Dell KACE K1000 Management Appliance and Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution. You can also take your own tour and interact with a live KACE K Series Appliance in our Demo Sandbox.
If variety is the spice of life, then why does it cause such headaches for IT?
Most IT administrators walk into heterogeneous computing environments every day knowing they'll have to manage computers and servers running several flavors of Windows, Mac OS X, UNIX, Linux and, more recently, Chrome OS. Efficiently managing such multi-platform environments is not easy. Tasks like keeping track of all hardware and software, making sure you are in compliance with applicable regulations and licensing agreements, ensuring security, and providing exceptional support become increasingly difficult as your environment becomes more complex.
In my last post I introduced "Best Practices in Lifecycle Management," a new position paper from Enterprise Management Associates, Inc. (EMA), and outlined the many IT disciplines that lifecycle management covers, if you're doing it correctly.
Strong support for heterogeneous computing environments is a must-have in a systems management product, and the paper includes a section specifically identifying the OSes supported by each of the four most popular systems lifecycle management solutions on the market:
If you spend your workday managing a multi-platform environment, then you'll find EMA's checklist a valuable resource in preparing for your next investment in a systems lifecycle management product.

Get The Look: The Grand Budapest Hotel
Wes Anderson tends to divide people; you either love his films or you hate them. I fall in the love camp, primarily because of his meticulous set detail. If you want to step into that world, I gathered some products inspired by his latest release, The Grand Budapest Hotel. As usual, I was blown away by the world created by Anderson and his Oscar-nominated art director, Adam Stockhausen.
Stockhausen has said that he and Anderson looked to archival photochroms (colourized black-and-white photographs) from Eastern European hotels and buildings to get this colour-scheme. (If you're looking to add a touch of Anderson aesthetic to your home but aren't prepared to go all out, this type of photograph can be found at almost any antique or vintage store that sells ephemera. I picked up some vintage photochrom postcards of Versailles from a Toronto shop a few summers ago).
"The construction of the sets and the design of the sets, even if it's on location — this is all carefully planned," Anderson told NPR. There's always a very specific colour palette in Anderson films; The Darjeeling Limited had light blue, red, teal, orange and golden yellow; whereas Rushmore featured dark greens, burnt orange, beige and royal blue. The Grand Budapest Hotel follows this with olive green, baby blue, Cartier red, carnation pink, pale yellow and dark purple.
The hotel's dining room features a huge mural of mountains and rolling hills that has all of these tints. Murals are very on trend and can be found at a variety of price points. If you have a blockbuster budget, try de Gournay for gorgeous prints that harken back to Regency England. The above image, from Surface View and sourced from the British National Gallery, is a great inbetween example. Surface View allows for a bit of customization: you can search their catalogue and isolate parts of an image that you want for your walls. Anthropologie also sells murals but at a much lower cost (a bit better for a renter, like me).
Moving between three eras but primarily set in two, the 1960s and the 1930s, Anderson used an abandoned German department store from the 1910s as the hotel's interior. The '60s saw more of the olive from the palette, and the yellow was used in marbled walls and the shade of wood used in the era's popular paneling.
The Art Nouveau (Jugendstil in Germany) styling of the department store was given a more brutalist look that would have been found throughout Eastern Europe in the Post-War period. If you're drawn to the mid-century style furniture, try a DWR chair in a bold shade or a colour-blocked rug.
The hotel's heyday in the '30s begins with various vignettes that show off the interior and exterior based on the colours in the old photochroms. The lobby's high ceilings, intricate stairs and large chandeliers (Restoration Hardware has one that could be pulled right out of pre-war Europe) are set off by the pale yellow and carnation pink; giving the room the luxe feel typical of grand hotels of that era.
The Cartier-red used for the elevator's lacquered walls and the concierge desk convey complete opulence.
Stockhausen said that it took nine coats of the vermillion to get the look in each space, but painting out some shelving, or even a door with Farrow & Ball's Rectory Red would add a shot of Anderson's bold vision into your space.
Scenes set away from the hotel take place in a variety of locales, including the estate owned by Tilda Swinton's character. The mansion is dressed a bit like a hunting lodge: lots of wood, leather and animal heads.
What I really loved was the birch mural adorning the green walls. Cole & Son's famous Woods wallpaper, paired with a papier mâché deer sculpture or impala bust, conveys a (more humane) lodge vibe.
Although more subdued and simple than the hotel and Swindon's estate, main character Agatha's (Saoirse Ronan) bedroom is curtained off with the same yellows and pinks found in the '30s hotel lobby, and her bedspread pairs the olive and yellow shades of the '60s lobby.
I particularly like the rustic barnboard flooring and wrought iron bed frame. I've had my eye on Anthropologie's Cosette Bed, which has a similar whimsical sensibility as Agatha's, and pulls in the Art Nouveau look of the hotel's lobby and entrance. Throw an HBC Millenium Stripe blanket or a Macausland throw on top and you've got a similar vibe.
The movie sets' extensive detail and saturated colour palette may be more fantastical than real, but sometimes it's nice to step into a highly-stylized space (and maybe borrow a few ideas for the real world).

From the Publisher"Presented together as parallel texts, and supplemented with a concise but rich critical apparatus that shows a keen sensitivity to terminological issues, the selected Paracelsian works and their translations will prove fruitful even for those versed in Paracelsus's German prose. Altogether, this is a work that should find its way onto many library shelves, and prompt more scholars to edit and make accessible sources from this period."

Can I connect my PC to my cable modem wirelessly without using a router and just an access point?
Broadband routers use Network Address Translation (NAT) to let multiple hosts share that one IP address assigned to the router's "WAN port." This is a typical configuration for wireless home networks, and is usually the easiest and most cost effective option.

However, some cable modems do support multiple IP-addressable devices. If your modem and cable provider both support this feature, you might be able to connect your AP directly to your cable modem's Ethernet port. Any station connected to your AP would become a separately addressed host, getting its IP address from your provider's DHCP server. Providers that support multiple IP addresses per cable drop usually charge extra for each IP address. For example, my cable provider charges $5 per month for leasing a second IP address. You would need at least three IP addresses: one for your wireless AP, one for your existing PC, and one for your wireless card. Caveat: I have never tried this configuration myself, but I think it's conceptually possible, given a cooperative cable modem and cable provider.

Last time I was there it was a "temporary" 60" height restriction for the front-seat of the log. I understand that restriction is still in place. So it probably is not referred to as "temporary" anymore?
Last time I was there it was a "temporary" 60" height restriction for the front-seat of the log. I understand that restriction is still in place. So it probably is not referred to as "temporary" anymore?
So you have to be 60 inches or taller to sit in the front?
It's a tight fit up there. I am 5'11 and had my knees almost against my chest. But when I went on it a kid was going to sit in front and they told him and his dad who was behind him to switch so I assume the rule is still in place.
My girlfriend is 4'11", but I guess she looks shorter, so I know from all the times shes tried that you have to be at lest 5 feet.
Wow, that's a trip!
Why is it temporary? Is it a maximum height limit?
We're talking about Disneyland right?
I knew there was a rule about the front row, but I didn't know it was based on height because I have seen little kids sit in the front before. I always assumed it had to do with weight because it was the really small ones, or a little kid with another little kid behind them, in the front when the cast members said that a bigger person had to be in the front.
Kids like to hide under the front seat overhang on the large drop. Then they hit their heads when it stops suddenly and the parents blame Disneyland.
Well, this is back in the day but when I was like 4 years old I rode in the front(this is back when it was just the open log, no seat backs) My aunt did not hold on to me as tightly as she should have and I smacked my head on the bar thing. (I actually had an imprint of the little logo thing on my forehead).
Long story short it was my aunt's fault not the ride/disneyland... I don't know when it happened but it seems in the last decade nothing is anyone's fault anymore, some one else is always to blame.
Two summers ago my wife and I were tip toeing through gator country and the ride comes to a stop just before the climb. Where there for about few minutes a cast member pops out of a door and re seats the people in the boat in front of us. A kid was in front and they moved him back in the log, and then of course he did not want to move and the parents did not want him to so they argued with the CM. I of course was no longer in my laughing place chimed in with some constructive criticism for the parents and to aide the CM and we were back on our way.
The kid was laughing and happy at the end of the ride, the parents were still bitchy. So yea I can see people blaming DLR.
I believe the started this in September of 09, we rode it, and the next weekend we went on it again and my 11 year old was told he could not sit in front and we would have to switch seats, he said but I have before and they said new rule. So of course I got soaked when I would never have sat in the front!!

Actress Ileana D'Cruz is set to don the garb of a taxi driver in Puri Jagannadh's new Telugu film "Devudu Chesina Manushulu" and the director promises to present her in a completely different avatar.
"I've worked a number of times with Ileana. She will be seen in a completely different avatar in my new film. The title 'Devudu Chesina Manushulu' is tentative. We may soon change it," said Puri Jagannadh.
According to the sources, this would be the actress' sexiest role ever.
"Ileana plays the sexiest role of her career in the film. The image of the sober, sedate and shy girl goes out of the window. She has been re-invented in this role," said a source close to the project, which also features Southern superstar Ravi Teja.
Meanwhile, Ileana is looking forward to the release of debut Bollywood movie "Barfi!" with Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra.

People with Alzheimer's disease are three times as likely to spend time in the hospital. Between 20 percent and 40 percent of Alzheimer's patients are hospitalized each year for an average of about four days, the study authors noted.
The current study included 771 patients with mild Alzheimer's enrolled at Massachusetts Alzheimer's Disease Research Center where they were regularly evaluated for neurological function. Most of the patients were either living on their own or with family.
Among this group, 367 patients were hospitalized within 18 months of a research center visit and 194 of these patients had delirium during hospitalization. Delirium was the reason for hospitalization in only 4 percent of cases; the most common causes were fainting, falls, heart problems and abdominal pain.
The study authors found that 41 percent of the patients who were hospitalized with delirium had accelerated mental decline during the year following hospitalization, which they measured using a memory and concentration test. In comparison, only 23 percent of hospitalized patients without delirium and 26 percent of patients who were not hospitalized experienced increased mental decline during this time.
Whereas hospitalization on its own did not appear to drive up the risk of mental decline, delirium among patients who were hospitalized increased the risk by 20 percent.
Most Alzheimer's patients eventually have to be institutionalized, and many of them need help within five to 10 years of diagnosis, Fong said. Patients live between eight and 10 years on average after being diagnosed, and as Fong pointed out, usually die because of complications such as pneumonia.
In this study, the risk of going into a nursin
