National Initiative Urges 10 Million At-Risk Boomers to 'Face Alzheimer's'
CHICAGO and NEW YORK, Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — With as many as 10 million U.S. baby boomers at risk for developing Alzheimer's,(1) the Alzheimer's Association and Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) are collaborating to help raise awareness of Alzheimer's disease by emphasizing to all Americans, "It's Time to Face Alzheimer's." The effort encourages people to share photos and stories related to their personal experience with the disease in an effort to show the real and varied "faces" of Alzheimer's. The initiative will culminate with a featured float, called "The Boomer Express," in the 122nd Tournament of Roses® Parade on New Year's Day, providing a national platform to encourage Americans to get on board in the fight against this disease.

"Alzheimer's represents a national crisis," said Harry Johns, Alzheimer's Association President and CEO. "As the first wave of baby boomers begins to turn 65 next year, the Alzheimer public health epidemic is no longer emerging, it is here. The nation is facing a crisis with an estimated one in eight boomers at risk for Alzheimer's. The time to act is now."
Alzheimer's disease not only touches individuals, it encompasses entire families. Through this initiative, all Americans are invited to share photos and experiences via the website, www.TimetoFaceAlz.org and to voice their support for the need to address this devastating disease. This website will showcase the submitted photos and stories through an interactive Faces of Alzheimer's mosaic. To learn more about Alzheimer's disease and how you can take action, visit www.alz.org.
Today, an estimated 5.3 million Americans are living with the disease.(1) By 2030, the number of people (aged 65 and older) with Alzheimer's is estimated to reach 7.7 million,(2) creating a massive economic burden for families and the healthcare system. It is already the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S.(3)
"We are pleased to partner with the Alzheimer's Association to increase awareness of the national health crisis posed by Alzheimer's disease," said Steve Romano, MD., vice president, Medical Affairs Head, Primary Care Business Unit, Pfizer. "Much scientific progress has been made in recent years to help us better understand Alzheimer's disease. Through collaborations like this one, and those with physicians and researchers, we hope to harness that progress and hope that innovative treatments can be delivered to patients and their families as soon as possible. The path forward is challenging but we are firmly committed."
The initiative will culminate with a float that will follow the 5.5 mile route at the Rose Parade, themed Building Dreams, Friendships & Memories, on New Year's Day in Pasadena, Calif. The float is a 55-foot long train that will ring its bell every 70 seconds to represent how frequently someone in America develops Alzheimer's disease.(1) Locomotive No. 1946 – the year in which the first baby boomers were born – will carry members of the Alzheimer's community to raise awareness of the disease's growing impact.
The "It's Time to Face Alzheimer's" effort has already been introduced at several local events throughout the country, including the Women's Conference in Long Beach, Calif., and Alzheimer's Association Memory Walks in Los Angeles and Philadelphia. During these local events, hundreds of people shared their story and had their photos taken for inclusion in the Faces of Alzheimer's mosaic on the initiative's website.

About Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is an age-related, non-reversible brain disorder that develops over a period of years. Initially, people experience memory loss and confusion, which may be mistaken for the kinds of memory changes that are sometimes associated with normal aging. However, the symptoms of Alzheimer's gradually lead to behavior and personality changes, a decline in cognitive abilities such as decision-making and language skills, and problems recognizing family and friends. Alzheimer's ultimately leads to a severe loss of mental function. These losses are related to the worsening breakdown of the connections between certain neurons in the brain and their eventual death. The disease is one of a group of disorders called dementias that are characterized by cognitive and behavioral problems. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia among people age 65 and older.(4)
About the Alzheimer's Association
The Alzheimer's Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. Our mission is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Our vision is a world without Alzheimer's. For more information, visit www.alz.org.

1970's Modular Construction at Walt Disney World
I came across this pictorial blog article highlighting the construction of the Polynesian Hotel at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida back in 1970. I found it fascinating and wanted to share.
With the Polynesian still in use today, it could be thought of as a testimonial of sorts. That fact could also be thought of as evidence to dispel the myth that modular construction has a shorter life span than site built construction.
Imagineering Disney is an unofficial blog authored by a couple of folks who reportedly worked for Disney in the past and they definitely have access to some terrific photographs. Take a look at the modular construction project depicted below.
Modular guest rooms were fabricated in a warehouse on the east end of the Disney Compound by US steel workers before being trucked over to the location:

Testimony begins in Prince trial
Child's mother said accused stood on victim's neck until child turned blue
WICHITA FALLS - Testimony in the Benjamin Price trial began this morning.
Prince is accused of killing his 23-month old son by striking him in the head with a claw hammer and gun.
District Attorney Maureen Shelton gave an opening statement detailing the timeline of events from the morning of Aug. 30, 2009.
The defense deferred an opening statement.
Responding Wichita Falls Police officers Brady Wyrick and Clinton Halloway testified.
Their testimony gave insight to what happened that morning. They both described seeing a man at the scene when they arrived.
The officers said they went up Rene Circle and stopped behind a tree at No. 1 Rene Circle when they spotted a man in the driveway at the back of a red SUV. The officers told him they were with the Wichita Falls Police Department as they approached him. The man then began walking towards the front door of No. 2 Rene Circle, then ran. Officer Halloway said he deployed his Taser in an attempt to stop the suspect, but it hit the front door of the residence.
Two police dispatchers also testified, saying during their time on the 911 call they could hear a woman screaming.
The dispatchers said they could hear the woman scream, "My baby is gone. Why are you doing this?"
Just before 2 p.m. a portion of the 911 call was played for the jury, and Prince hung his head and stared at the table.
The woman on the tape could be heard screaming "no" over and over.
In the 911 tapes, Penny Rhodes, a dispatcher, said a woman can be heard screaming and crying for over 15 minutes, saying "My baby is gone. Why did you do this?"
Officer Chad Nelson testified he went to United Regional Hospital at 8:10 a.m.
He said Prince refused to walk into the hospital and was uncooperative and blank. He also said Nicole Grant, the wounded mother of Trebian Prince, was inconsolable and had a gunshot wound to her shoulder.
Grant stated to Nelson, "I tried to stop him, but he just kept beating him. Ben did this. He killed John and my baby."
Grant also said Prince stood on Trebian's neck until he turned blue.
Benjamin Prince's cousin, John Prince, was shot in the head and died at the residence. The child's mother, Nicole Grant, was also wounded.
When a SWAT team forced their way into the home, they found a 9-year-old boy and 8-year-old girl hiding in a closet

Hi, More often than not, when I turn on my computer it does not connect automatically. I open the troubleshooter & it may solve the problem but most times get a message "wired network connection" doesn't have a valid IP configuration. I keep trying via the troubleshooter & eventually will connect (tonight it took about 25 minutes!)
Any ideas to resolve? A faulty BT line, faulty router (I do restart the router but does not help). Thanks Ray

Is your PC set to a static address? Are there any other devices using your router that are set to static ip's?
Flush the DNS cache on your PC. Open a command prompt preferably from the Programs menu, right click and select "Run as Admin" and type
"ipconfig /flushdns" without the quotes.
Open Network Connections/Network and Sharing Center and then Adapter settings and check the IP settings for your ethernet card.
As a last resort set the router back to factory settings but make sure you have all the relevant information (username/password etc) before doing so.

text: As the title says, what's a decent price for a Tachihara 4x5? Body, ground glass, no lens board, and supposedly in good condition. Is $350 a good price? I don't know what to expect to pay elsewhere but there's someone reasonably local to me that has one for $350. Would it be unruly or inconsiderate or offensive to offer .. say .. $250 after I see it in person? I don't normally lowball but.. in today's economy it doesn't hurt to be a bit miserly in all your approaches. But I don't want to offend because maybe I might want the camera... y'know?

Palermo 2-3 Fiorentina
Fiorentina qualified for the Europa League by holding Palermo at bay to win 3-2 at the Stadio Renzo Barbera.
Early goals from Josip Ilicic and Alberto Gilardino sandwiched a Mato Jajalo strike for Palermo, meaning the visitors controlled fifth place heading into half-time on Sicily.
They had to negotiate a fightback in the second half as Luca Rigoni drew the Rosanero level, before Marcos Alonso rubber-stamped all three points and a guaranteed top-six finish in Serie A.

Duncan, I set up my Jamaican on a proper laser alignment rack and measured the heck out of everything. I don't have the figures here, but the camber was at most -2 deg., which will certainly wear the inside of the tires first, but will work much better than stock for aggressive driving. These cars don't typically get driven enough in a given period to wear the tires out before they tires are theoretically stale dated anyway (5 years is the figure we see bruited about though I'm sure we all keep them much longer) so I thought that handling for a bit faster wear was a fair trade off. You may feel differently, in which case the suggestion of offset upper MGB trunion bushes may solve it for you.

Ancient Chinese Sword Reveals Origins of the Mysterious Sanxingdui
MIAMI, July 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Miniature art found by researcher David Xavier Kenney on a one-of-a-kind jade and iron Ritual Dao (Chopping) Sword from the Warring States period may give the first real clues about the origin of the mysterious Sanxingdui, who existed from the 12th to the 11th c. B.C., then disappeared leaving no written records.
The sword's blade is likely made of meteorite iron and features a miniature knife (representing a legendary fishing knife) designed to cut the holder's index finger, making it a blood sword. It also appears to be designed to rock side-to-side for 45 seconds exactly when balanced on its pommel and gently tapped, suggesting it was a moving sword used as part of a shaman's ritual.
The blade is shaped like a flying bird which resembles both a modern airplane and a boat. Kenney believes this represents the Kun Peng, a creature in Chinese mythology which begins as a giant fish in the north, then turns into a giant bird which flies to the south — a type of phoenix. The miniature art on the sword depicts among other things, a Sanxingdui Knight, a central themed Raven Shaman, and an Orca and a wolf.
All these creatures are sacred to certain northern tribal peoples of the Asian Pacific North East. Kenney therefore proposes that this is where the Sanxingdui may have originated from, and that the mythology of the Kun Peng may be a story of their travels and their ending up in China.
Evidence of the Sanxingdui was discovered by archeologists in the 1920′s. They created among other objects, fabulous heads made of bronze and gold gilding, some of which are massive. Many resemble aliens, featuring protruding eyes and large ears; the style is unlike any traditional ancient Chinese art form.
Although Kenney studies ancient Chinese artifacts, his specialty is Roman and miniature art. He is a pioneer in this field and the founder of www.romanofficer.com and www.kingarthurbanner.com. Kenney was amazed to find that just like Western artifacts, Eastern artifacts of all periods also have miniature art. Kenney would like to see further research done on the sword and its miniature art by an expert on the Sanxingdui. Kenney is now offering the sword on the market.

WOW! This is one video that will definitely go down in the CAUSA record books!Miloje is back after an almost 10-month hiatus, and his second video is exponentially more intense than his first!While I was editing this video, I ran the gamut of emotions right along with Miloje, and I sense that there was a lot more going on for him than how his physical responses manifested from his sexual pleasure.I've mentioned my hot German friend who comes over for a spin on my massage table (sans cameras) every few months, and prior to this shoot with Miloje, he's the only other guy who I've brought dayum-near to tears during a session. For him, it's the shear extreme, physical, sexual pleasure that derives from my extended manipulation of his unsheathed, uncut cock. For Miloje, it felt as though there was a much more intense emotional response to my stimulation.And I have to say, that this is one of the most sensual shoots that I've done. Again, while editing, I was reminded of Ewan

Michael Jackson: The Experience Delayed
Written Thursday, October 21, 2010 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Owww! Michael Jackson: The Experience has been delayed and will no longer make its proposed autumn 2010 release slot. Instead, the MJ game will now arrive in early 2011, so you'll have to wait a little longer for your dose of the late King of Pop on Kinect.
Ubisoft's Michael Jackson game is set to feature iconic dance routines performed by the man himself and a variety of songs that you can crotch grab and 'chamone' along to. "Billie Jean", "Beat It", "Bad", "Who Is It", "Workin' Day and Night", "The Girl is Mine" and "Earth Song" have all been confirmed so far for the game's tracklist.
Your Shape, Motion Sports and Fighters Uncaged will now lead the charge for Ubisoft on Kinect, whereas Michael Jackson: The Experience is now slated for a Q1 2011 release.

Taylor Swift, James Franco & Zooey Deschanel Join Seth Rogen on 'SNL' [VIDEO]
Seth Rogen appeared on 'SNL' last night for the third time in his career and as part of his opening monologue, he got a little help from some friends.
Seth Rogen appeared on 'SNL' last night for the third time in his career and as part of his opening monologue, he got a little help from some friends.
Taylor Swift has a pure heart. Like so many other celebs of her caliber, she makes time in her schedule for the less fortunate and sick fans. But she really goes way above and totally beyond. Find out how!
How we all missed this is beyond me...but new video has emerged showing Taylor Swift violently attacked at the Grammy Awards!
Taylor Swift has been the butt of several jokes over the last few years, with many highlighting her dating life. The 2013 Golden Globes were no exception. Hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler made Swift the center of a few jabs -- a theme which continued at the 2014 awards show.
Taylor Swift celebrated her 24th birthday (Dec. 13) while Down Under since she is on tour in Australia. To commemorate her big day, the singer hosted a garden party in Melbourne.
How's this for an amazing celebrity sighting: Taylor Swift and Lorde lunching together in New York City!
Taylor Swift has lived such a charmed life and had so many career highlights that you'd think it was impossible for her to choose just one. But Taylor says she was blown away by getting the chance recently to act alongside Meryl Streep in Jeff Bridges in the upcoming film 'The Giver.'
Taylor Swift could be forgiven for thinking she had time-traveled to some point in the long-off future when she will be old and gray and get honored with a lifetime achievement award: At the tender age of 23, she was the recipient of the most prestigious -- and rare -- honor at the 47th annual CMA Awards tonight (Nov. 6).
Taylor Swift got a warm (and yellow) welcome to Rhode Island! America's musical sweetheart famously purchased a mansion in cash in the state and the locals extended their hospitality and welcomed her with a custom corn maze message.
Taylor Swift's Red Tour wrapped its domestic leg, but the singer remains ever busy. She will take some time off from going to the gym and attending premieres in Los Angeles to head back to her adopted hometown of Nashville, where the Taylor Swift Education Center will open at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
Taylor Swift graces the November 2013 cover of Glamour UK, and inside speaks candidly about how she feels about her reputation -- and especially her dating life.
Taylor Swift took some time out of her busy tour schedule recently to meet with a young fan who was severely injured outside one of her concerts last month.
