▪Because of growing evidence for genetic causes of Alzheimer disease, clinicians are often asked about risks for this disorder among relatives of patients. This paper briefly reviews the evidence for genetic and other causes of Alzheimer disease, including specifically its typical late-onset variant. Several recent developments in the molecular genetics of early-onset Alzheimer disease are described briefly. These findings, however, may not apply to more typical, late-onset Alzheimer disease. Genetic studies of the latter disorder are complicated by the censorship of any inherited predisposition to disease by death from other causes. Hence, heritable disease may be apparent only in families with large numbers of elderly relatives at risk. Relying on empiric observations of risk among relatives from several recent studies of pooled Alzheimer families, curves are presented describing theoretic age-specific risks in relatives of patients and unaffected controls. Real (current) lifetime risks of Alzheimer disease are then estimated by modification of the theoretic figures with corresponding current age-specific mortality characteristics of the U.S. population. The lifetime incidence among relatives of patients with Alzheimer disease is estimated to be 19%, or three to four times the risk among control relatives. Because both mortality of and risk for Alzheimer disease change rapidly with advancing age, it may be possible to reduce the current morbidity from Alzheimer disease by 50% if onset can be postponed by only 5 years.

It's not only in Chicago that local lawyers are involved with high-school youth. Youth in Government, a program sponsored in many states by a YMCA, is also quite involved in bringing mock trial and moot court to high-school students. And now the ABA has partnered with Youth in Government to take the program national. http://www.okymcayag.net/YIGandABA.pdf
In addition, here in Michigan, the Michigan Supreme Court's Learning Center operates a week-long summer camp for high-school students entitled "Exploring Careers in the Law." http://courts.michigan.gov/plc/camps/CampPA2011.pdf and
Thanks for publicizing one program, but I thought I'd let you know that, while the prize money may be unique, the concept isn't. Congratulations to the John Marshall Law School for its program.

Since 2004, she has operated fast-casual restaurant chain Greenz, and Sept. 9 she will unveil Kitchen LTO, a chef-driven restaurant in West Dallas' Trinity Groves development.

Disk usage utility to compute folder sizes recursively
DiskWave is a free utility to help you determine where most of your hard drive space is consumed. The program scans your hard drive to compute the size of all folders and sub folders. The results are stored in memory, which allows faster navigation than the built-in âcompute all sizesâ option in the Finder. You can easily identify useless directories and delete them.
Required OS: 10.5
Tags: disk , utility , size , recursive , folders
1 Opinion
Even though I have DaisyDisk, I still prefer DiskWave.
