Demo Walkout Applauded
I would like to offer my opinion of the walkout by the Democrat state representatives. The Demo representatives took the only available option to kill the redistricting plan being pushed by Tom DeLay and Speaker Craddick. This plan would have cost our area a national congressman. When the district of a man like Charles Stenholm is eliminated, just because he is in the wrong party, something is wrong with the picture. We are underrepresented now. If we lose a congressman, we will all be poorer for it, Democrat or Republican. I am conservative, independent and voted for Bush. However, I am 100 percent West Texan.

Sound — 9
This is Clutch. Their style has been one of the single common threads amongst all of their albums. Once again, the sound has an aggressive rock tone, with throwbacks to blues style riffs and Niel's vocals carrying a melody completely contrary to the backing track... and it's magical. Clutch has always been what I refer to as a "pocket" band. They find a groove for the backing track and just drive it and drive it home; each riff is an accomplishment and they sit in the pocket and play it and bend it and twist it to create subtle differences each time; while still remaining similar to how the riff started. This groove makes the music feel good as well as sound good. For this album, they followed in their normal trend; pounding out track after track of catchy blues rock riffage and niel's powerful vocals rounding out to an almost perfect sound. One of my favorites from Clutch; and I'm a huge fan.
Lyrics — 8
The lyrics for this album are what we've come to love and expect from clutch. Some off the wall, some devastatingly moving. "Abraham Lincoln" is grounded in such history; yet still manages to resound a level of emotion previously unheard of in Clutch's music. But on the other hand you have songs like Minotaur, which are a throwback to the "Robot Hive/The Exodus" days where only god knows what was happening in their brains when the words pieced themselves together. No song sticks out as particularly strong in this category, but none are weak either. And all are delivered with the great power and skill and melody that only Niel can deliver.
Overall Impression — 9
This album is a must buy for anyone who's ever liked a song by Clutch. It's just solid all the way through. Is there an "Electric Worry" type ear-worm on the album? No. But what is on the album are 11 solid offerings; not a single song worth skipping over. I don't think this is their best album to date; and I've certainly enjoyed individual songs more on other albums... but this may be the most well-rounded and complete album... from the opening "eastern" riff on Motherless Child to the last note of Sleestak Lightning, I thoroughly enjoyed it all. I'd certainly replace this album should my brother "borrow it" or any other tragedy occur. It's just so well rounded, something rarely heard of in today's music scene.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Allergies reactions aren't contagious, so it would be unusual for both of them to have such a reaction at the same time.
Can you tell me more about each child's rash?
Sorry for all the questions, but it will help me answer your question more accurately.
Though it's possible that they were both exposed to something in the environment that resulting in an allergic reaction, the situation sounds more like a type of viral rash that one got from the other. There are a variety of viral skin rashes that children get, but they rarely require urgent medical treatment, especially when there are no other symptoms like high fever, vomiting, chills, or trouble breathing. These generic viral rashes can have many different appearances, and be accompanied by some other mild symptoms, but again, as long as neither of your children feel especially ill, they will likely resolve on their own. Among various generic viral causes, Fifth Disease came to mind from your description, which is a common childhood skin rash that can affect the trunk and extremities, and is caused by the parvovirus. None of these causes are typically cause for any worry, and as you've already begun to notice, they will go away in several days (to weeks).
Though treatment isn't required, if either child is uncomfortable from itching, you can continue giving an over-the-counter anti-histamine like benadryl, or apply a hydrocortisone steroid cream (also OTC). Be sure to give them plenty of fluids to aid in recovery from the infection and prevent dehydration, and they'll be back to their usual, rambunctious selves in no time.

Department Environmental Studies Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Paul H. Templet Committee Chair John C. Pine Committee Member Maud M. Walsh Committee Member Keywords

Date of Defense 2004-12-13 Availability unrestricted AbstractAt least one third of the insecticide used in agriculture has been used to control the boll weevil in cotton. Historically, these insecticides have been toxic to humans and harsh on the environment. In addition, the intensive use of chemical insecticides to control the boll weevil results in the disruption of naturally occurring biological control factors that regulate other insect pest populations causing a chain reaction of secondary pest populations that require treatment followed by resurgence and repeat treatment. This situation has resulted in the development of resistance to insecticides, high control costs and unacceptable levels of chemical insecticide contamination in the environment. The boll weevil eradication program was instituted, in part, in an attempt to curtail the adverse environmental effects of traditional boll weevil control practices. A statistical analysis of 23 restricted use pesticides use in Louisiana cotton from 1991 through 2003 revealed that there was a significant change in the use of seven of these insecticides from the time before eradication (1991-1998) and during eradication (1999-2003) in Louisiana. Of these seven, five showed a significant decrease in use and two showed a significant increase in use. Impact quotients developed to take into account the annual use of each insecticide plus the toxicological values and environmental influence of each insecticide indicate that the insecticides with a significant change in use had a smaller mammalian toxicological impact quotient (MTIQ) during eradication than before eradication. The ecotoxicological impact quotient (EcoTIQ) increased dramatically during eradication as compared to before eradication and the environmental impact quotient (EnvIQ) increased slightly over the same period. In all cases, the MTIQ remained substantially lower than the EcoTIQ and EnvIQ in any given year and as eradication progressed and malathion use declined, so did the impact quotients and insecticide use, especially methyl parathion. As eradication of the boll weevil in Louisiana nears completion, a continued reduction in all three quotients is expected. Files

Having already been exposed to the world of Gourmet Tea via my Electric Tea Maker I really didn't have much expectation when reviewing the Teavana Perfect Teamaker. I thought this simple contraption wouldn't compare to my Electric Tea Maker to brew a perfect cup of tea. Or could it?
Upon opening the box I noticed not much in the way of parts; a Teavana Perfect Tea Maker and instructions on how to use it. The instructions are simple and concise which pretty much describes this Teamaker. No crazy setup. No extra parts to try and figure what to do with them. Just a simple Teavana Perfect Tea Maker awaiting its first 32 oz of tea.
I was able to test the Teavana Perfect Tea Maker with 4 different types of Teavana signature teas (Black/Green mix, Green,Herbal, and Rooibos). You start off by placing the correct amount of tea per cup in the Teavana Perfect Tea Maker. The Tea settles nicely at the bottom of the cup contained nicely by the strainer. This product is able to accommodate 4 cups of Tea or 32 ounces. To sweeten the Tea, I added a little Stevia Extract. In order to know the temperature and steep time you look at a Tea Table on the back of the Teavana Tea packets. It just as easy as pouring the hot water into the cup and waiting for the desired time. There is a lid to prevent accidents with the hot water contained inside. Once the time has elapsed, you place the bottom of the Teavana Perfect Tea Maker over a cup and press down to activate the release mechanism. It's actually quite enjoyable to watch the Tea pour out the bottom of the Teavana Perfect Tea Maker and into your awaiting cup.
The empty Teavana Perfect Tea Maker
Add a little loose leaf tea.
Let it brew...
Fill up your cup with amazing tea from the Teavana Perfect Tea Maker...
It's really a simple process. There are no complicated steps. And if you were diligent in keeping the right temperature and time, what you will have is something that rivals any fancy electric tea maker's cup of tea. Surprisingly simple and surprisingly good!
Cleanup is so simple and easy that I found myself wondering why my electric teamaker couldn't be this easy. With the Teavana Perfect Tea Maker all you have to do is simply open the lid to the cup and rinse it out...it's that simple. Amazingly nothing ever sticks to the strainer on the bottom of the cup. It's almost too easy to clean and for that I am thankful. You can also put it into the dishwasher since it's dishwasher safe.
But there are some things that would make this superbly simple Tea Maker even better. For one thing I found the bottom of the Teavana Perfect Tea Maker wasn't designed for the average sized cup. In fact it really didn't fit it at all. I tried different normal sized mugs and none seemed to fit the bottom correctly. By maneuvering it so the cup is at an angle to the bottom of the Teavana Perfect Tea Maker I was however able to get it to release it's amazing bounty.
I did notice the Teavana Perfect Tea Maker cups that are sold separately for the Teavana Perfect Tea maker suspiciously seemed to fit the bottom perfectly. Too bad I didn't have one when reviewing this product. Also since gourmet tea is so sensitive to time and temperature it would only make sense to put a timer on the cup and a way of seeing what temperature the water is that is in the Teavana Perfect Tea Maker. This would take what is an amazing product and make it that much better. A locking mechanism on the bottom would also be nice. I must have burned myself a couple of times by mistakenly placing my hand on the bottom of the Teavana Perfect Tea Maker. Finally all the teas that were sent with the Tea Maker were signature mixes of different types of Tea.
Since black tea has a different steep time and temperature then Green Tea, it was difficult to know what time and temp to set this mix to since the instructions on the back of the packet only had generic times and temps. If only the mixes had this information on the front label (But this is more a problem for the Tea Packets and not the Teavana Perfect Tea Maker).
All in all this is definitely worth the purchase, especially if you can't afford an Electric tea maker. It's simple, convenient, and easy to clean up. Oh and the Teavana Perfect Tea Maker makes a wonderful cup of tea!

Import Substitution and Capital Accumulation
This paper examines tariffs and other policies designed to protect the domestic investment good industry in a small open economy. In a dynamic two-sector model, where a nontraded investment good competes with an imported investment good, the paper identifies two channels through which commercial policies affect the domestic sector: one through the standard substitution of the domestic for the foreign investment good and the other through their effect on Tobin's q and the aggregate investment demand. If a commercial policy decreases investment sufficiently, it can hurt the domestic industry in both the short and the long run.

Innovation Park at Notre Dame
Photo Gallery
Project Information
- Collaboration
- Conference
- Informal Learning
- Open Office
Across the street from the Notre Dame campus and within sight of its golden dome, a three-story brick building represents a promise and a culmination. A promise because this building is the first of a planned 12-acre complex, and a culmination because it captures part of the university's core vision to develop the potential of its research ideas and bring them to the marketplace. At Innovation Park at Notre Dame, "we try to help early-stage companies accelerate and grow," says Natalie Stahl, facility manager.
"We feel strongly that our research should not only serve faculty in intellectual growth, but also find practical uses that might benefit society," says Mike Daly, senior project manager and architect, Notre Dame.
A small breakout room beside the Greenhouse is light and mobile with elements from the Intersect Portfolio and Caper chairs.
Clients working in the Greenhouse are assigned a mobile Meridian pedestal file. They grab their mobile file, choose the space they need that day—and get to work.
Innovation Park also represents learning opportunities for Notre Dame students when students are paired with companies to test the commercial potential of an idea. But whatever their role at the university across the street, when students or faculty enter Innovation Park, they come as entrepreneurs ready to do business in the commercial marketplace.
The facility itself had to be collaborative and flexible in order to respond to the diverse needs of short-term clients who might require an office or a lab, a reception room or a formal conference area, a large office suite or a single workstation.
So the entire building is designed for flexibility. Permanent walls are few and only surround the fixed elements of the building—the labs, the service areas, a conference room on each floor, the administration area, and the café. The environment within the building is dynamic yet sophisticated with curving surfaces, glass, color, and collaborative areas everywhere. Whiteboards and projection equipment are tucked away in corridors; even the walls have writable surfaces.
The staff space is glass-enclosed and minimalist—little more than desks with Leaf personal lights, bookcases, tables from the Intersect portfolio, Embody task chairs, and Meridian cushion top pedestal files. David Brenner, president and CEO of Innovation Park, wants his staff to be available to the embryonic companies that are gestating in the Greenhouse, just on the other side of the glass windows. "The administration can't hide," says Brenner. "We have to be actively engaged. We need to have a lot of visual contact."
The Greenhouse, a space designed for interaction, is furnished in mobile Intersect tables and Caper chairs. Pods of Resolve workstations attach to the programmable infrastructure in the ceiling grid. With this programmable infrastructure the user has complete control over power and data throughout the space.
The Greenhouse is a 5,000-square-foot space on the first floor of the building where the "happenstance of creation" occurs, according to Brenner. "It's based on the principle that dynamic collaboration results in more commercially viable ideas."
With large windows overlooking the Notre Dame campus, the Greenhouse is the most mobile, open, and collaborative space in the facility, and it is designed to nurture the youngest, most tender businesses and to provide common space where clients and others can mingle and exchange ideas.
The Greenhouse is meant to inspire "the happenstance of creation," so windows are large, overlooking the Notre Dame campus outside and the corridor inside, and permanent walls are few.
To that end, furniture needed to be mobile and multi-functional, attractive, comfortable, and durable. "We created eight configurations for various scenarios of use within a single vocabulary of furniture," explains Deanne Beckwith from the Herman Miller Creative Office Advanced Development Team. The furniture used in creating those configurations included elements from the Intersect portfolio, along with soft seating from Brandrud, a Herman Miller alliance company. Even the Meridian pedestal files are on wheels. Thus, the space can move and change on a dime, allowing "day-to-day change and future-proofing the space," says Beckwith.
Resolve workstations provide opportunity for solo work, yet they fit well within this light, open space. My Studio workstations with tables from the Intersect portfolio serve as mini-conference rooms where visitors can meet with clients.
Round-up lounge chairs from Brandrud, a Herman Miller alliance company, nestle outside a Resolve screen. Soft seating, mobile furniture, and a light, open atmosphere signal that this is a space for interaction and collaboration.
The concept seems to be working. "When I visited the Greenhouse recently, I saw a couple guys working in one corner, and someone else in another. Two people were having a conversation near a white wall," says Dan Moriarity, principal, CSO Architects. "If you're in the Greenhouse, you're there to collaborate."
A critical factor in this flexibility is that, with a new smart power platform from Herman Miller, the space is completely untethered from traditional power and data connections. With this new programmable infrastructure, the Greenhouse can access "plug-and-play" power anywhere it's needed. This infrastructure "gives us the flexibility to disregard the location of walls and columns and allows us to put power anywhere in an aesthetically pleasing way," says Mr. Moriarity. Outlets, switches, data ports, AV equipment, HVAC systems, even the window shades, can be linked, managed, changed, or controlled from a personal computer or with a two-button wand and without opening walls or calling an electrician.
With writable walls, mobile furniture, AV equipment, and small enclosed areas, the Greenhouse is a space for many purposes. It can morph from a theater to a breakout area to a solo workspace easily and quickly, and sometimes it can be everything at once.
My Studio Environments with Intersect tables and Caper chairs create a semi-private meeting space. The workstation's translucent cladding doesn't block light, yet allows users to see whether the space is occupied.
The result is radical flexibility as well as the potential to manage and conserve energy. In a 24/7 space like Innovation Park, this ability to program and control the power grid can save significantly on energy usage—and on utility costs. This capability also contributed points toward Innovation Park's Silver LEED designation.
As tomorrow's businesses take up residence at Notre Dame's Innovation Park, their new space will be as energetic and progressive as the ideas they bring.
A formal conference room with an inspiring view of the Notre Dame campus retains the flexibility of mobile Intersect tables and Caper seating while conveying the ambience of a corporate boardroom.

"Fulham officers just want a safe workplace and are dismayed that GEO would put their profits above the well-being of their employees," he said.
Fulham general manager Troy Ittensohn said he was "extremely disappointed" that prison staff would escalate the dispute by taking the proposed action.
"Management will run the prison for that period to ensure that the prisoners remain safe and the facility secure," he said.
Mr Ittensohn said no date had been set by Fairwork Australia for further negotiations with the union.
Work bans are already in place at the Gippsland jail near Sale, which houses about 800 inmates.
In January, the jail was the site of a riot involving prisoners armed with gym equipment and gardening tools.

Seven Steps for Preparing Your Sales Organization for Change
Generating and sustaining behavior change is difficult. According to studies, 70% of organizational changes fail to meet some or all of their business objectives. Worse, 52% of organizational changes result in significant damage to the organization. Click here to download our Sales Organization Change Checklist to learn more about how ready you are to effectively implement change within your organization.
"If you put a good [salesperson] in a bad system, the system wins every time." - Geary Rummler
Richardson's Sales Enablement Tools help optimize behavior change to produce meaningful sales results. High-performing sales organizations that we work with concentrate on both developing individual competence and building organizational capacity. It is this dual emphasis that makes them successful. While training focuses like a laser on closing skill gaps to develop individual competence, sales enablement emphasizes closing performance gaps by building organizational capacity to sustain the behavior change (begun during training) and to ensure it continues to occur back on-the-job.
We build organizational capacity in collaboration with our clients using five enablers: process, measurement, change, technology, and talent.
We customize these five enablers to each client's culture so that they simultaneously feel a natural evolution of their sales force as well as an improved behavior change. Our consultants strike this balance by both harvesting your own best practices and then merging these with Richardson's more than 30 years of experience across multiple industries and a wide array of sales challenges. As a result, your sales organization is better aligned to support the individual competence your sales people, sales managers, and sales leaders have acquired through training. This optimizes their performance back on-the-job and maximizes your training investment.

Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†
10-11-2012 02:41 PM - edited 10-11-2012 02:57 PM
Guess they didn't get the CLI either...LOL.
But in all seriousness though, cyberattacks are getting crazier. I think it was about a year and a half ago where LulzSec took down the FBI website. With so much financial material (among others) being electronic, it makes me worry.
I'm glad that I keep my money with several financial institutions, including some that are so small that hackers would never bother with them. If one of my financial institutions' websites are knocked out of service by a DDoS attack, I can still pay bills with another account.

The guy I am dating for a while now talks about sex a lot, well, us having sex and how great it will be and stuff. And he is a bit dirty, I can tell he is into sex.
he doesn't actually pressure me, before he even felt me under the bra he asked if it is okay. he holds my hand, gives me a lot of kisses and calls or texts multiple times a day. We go on nice dates.
We don't only talk about sex but he does like to. I guess this is okay, after all he's a male and I guess this means he's not getting it anywhere else. He told me he is "saving it all for me".
I do like sex talk...as long as he likes me and sex is just part of the equation I'm good.
Most Helpful Guy
Sex is a major part of this relationship to him, more than it is to you.
Like most guys, his thought on sex are generated x10 than yours.
An interesting experiment might be to ban sex talk until you come up with something good to contribute; you might be surprised at the results ... no questions now. Report what happened, you might be happy about it.00|00|0

That looks like George Sterling, a San Francisco poet who was a Bohemian member of the Bohemian Club. IIRC, he killed himself at the Club's San Francisco headquarters.

(CNSNews.com) - President Obama on Monday used a manufactured photo opportunity to blast House Republicans for what he called a "manufactured crisis."
Pointing to a hurricane that fizzled before hitting land, the president once again insisted that Republicans fund the government and raise the debt limit with no strings attached and without negotiating anything.
"Pass a budget, end the government shutdown, pay our bills and prevent an economic shutdown," he told Republicans. "And as soon as that happens, I am eager and ready to sit down and negotiate with Republicans on a whole range of issues."
Obama spoke at the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He said he went there on Monday to get a briefing on "what happened with Hurricane Karen, became Tropical Storm Karen and then fortunately dissipated, so we dodged a bullet there."
He thanked the people at FEMA, many of them furloughed, for "doing everything they can to respond to potential events." He said the government shutdown has made it more difficult for them to respond to events that never even happened:
"So (FEMA Director) Craig (Fugate) was just explaining to me here at FEMA, about 86 percent of the FEMA workforce is furloughed. In response to the potential event that might have happened down in Florida and along the coasts, Craig called back 200 of those workers. Keep in mind calling them back doesn't mean they were getting paid; it just means they had the privilege of working without pay to make sure that they were doing everything they can to respond to the potential needs of their fellow citizens."
That led Obama to his main point:
"Right now, Congress should do what's in the best interests of the economy and the American people, and that's move beyond this manufactured crisis and work together to focus on growth, jobs and providing the vital services that Americans all across the country depend on, including the services that FEMA provides."
House Republicans have passed a number of smaller bills funding vital services, but Democrats have denounced the effort as inadequate.
Obama on Monday also defended himself against criticism that he won't even talk to Republicans.
"I heard a lot of talk over the weekend that the real problem is, is that the president will not negotiate. Well, let me tell you something. I have said from the start of the year that I'm happy to talk to Republicans about anything related to the budget. There is not a subject that I am not willing to engage in, work on, negotiate and come up with common-sense compromises on.
"What I've said is that I cannot do that under the threat that if Republicans don't get a hundred percent of their way, they're going to either shut down the government or they are going to default on America's debt so that America for the first time of history does not pay its bills. That is not something I will do. We're not going to establish that pattern. We're not going to negotiate under the threat of further harm to our economy and middle-class families. We're not going to negotiate under the threat of a prolonged shutdown until Republicans get a hundred percent of what they want. We're not going to negotiate under the threat of economic catastrophe that economists and CEOs increasingly warn would result if Congress chose to default on America's obligations."
Obama insisted that there are enough Republican and Democratic votes in the House to end the shutdown immediately -- "with no partisan strings attached."
"If Republicans and Speaker Boehner are saying there are not enough votes, then they should prove it. Let the bill go to the floor, and let's see what happens. Just vote. Let every member of Congress vote their conscience, and they can determine whether or not they want to shut the government down."
Obama also insisted that Republicans raise the debt limit -- and end the sequester.
"Pass a budget, end the government shutdown, pay our bills and prevent an economic shutdown," he told Republicans. "And as soon as that happens, I am eager and ready to sit down and negotiate with Republicans on a whole range of issues."

Topic: Muka - flax fibre
Is part of topic Materials for making Maori cloaks
Muka, the fibre extracted from harakeke (New Zealand flax), forms the base of most kākahu (cloaks). It is also a powerful symbol of connection. Explore its practical, spiritual, and social significance for Māori.
Extracting and processing muka
Māori extracted and processed muka by:
- scraping the outer flesh from the leaves with a mussel shell
- rolling, soaking, and beating the fibre
- hand-rubbing it several times to soften the threads for weaving.
Practical significance – weaving threads
To create a cloak's base, weavers divided the muka strands into two groups of thread – aho (horizontal threads, or the weft) and whenu (vertical threads, or the warp). They wove these together by twining, or twisting.
Muka was also used as thread to stitch animal-skin cloaks together, and it had many other uses outside the realm of clothing too.
Spiritual significance – connecting worlds
Māori see muka as more than a mere material. This inner fibre symbolises the unseen and connects the physical and spiritual realms – te ira tangata (the realm of people) with te ira atua (the realm of the gods).
The language of weaving reflects this belief. 'Aho' refers to connections. 'Whenu' may represent the womb or whenua (land). An older name for 'whenu' was 'Io' – the supreme being.
Social significance – connecting the generations
Muka creates other connections too – through the stories that cloaks carry. In this way, muka links the ancestors who made or owned them with their descendants today, drawing together the past, present, and future.
A cloak, over its lifetime, absorbs the mana (prestige) first of the weaver and subsequently of every wearer and every event it is associated with. The muka represents these historical threads of connection.

Debate Over the Dangers of Marathons
Are Marathons Bad For You?
With marathon season winding down (NYC marathon is 11/1) there is an ongoing debate in the medical field over the effect the 26-mile race has on the heart. Some scientists are claiming that running a marathon causes long lasting damage to the heart, while others say the damage is only temporary and is brought on by the extreme physical demands of the race.
Last year studies were conducted in Australia, Canada, and Germany measuring the effect running a marathon had on the hearts of elite to novice runners. Tests were given on the participants immediately before and after running a marathon. The end findings were similar across the board — the participants showed marked blood indicators of cardiac damage.
"We measure those same blood markers when someone comes in to the emergency room and we suspect a heart attack," says Davinder S. Jassal, MD, an assistant professor of cardiology, radiology, and physiology at the University of Manitoba as told to the New York Times. Blood profiles like those displayed by the runners are similar to those in a very mild heart attack."
Those scientists that oppose the findings, site that the research is premature and the studies were too small. They also say that accurate results cannot be determined since researchers in the original studies did not follow up with any of the participants after the race day. A later second study conducted in Canada seems to support this claim — a week after completing a marathon, researchers followed up with the runners and found none of the initial damage was lasting.
As the debate continues please keep in mind that running long distances is definitely taxing on the heart. Check out our tips to avoid any risks while training and share your own tips with us below.

Sleep And Alzheimer's
February 16, 2012 by staff
Sleep And Alzheimer's, Disturbed sleep is associated with preclinical signs of Alzheimer's disease, researchers found. In a small cohort study in cognitively normal people, frequent awakenings and a habit of lying awake were linked to higher levels of markers of the brain plaques that are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, according to Yo-El Ju, MD, of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, and colleagues.
The full study is slated for presentation at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology in New Orleans in April, but some of the data were released early.
Ju and colleagues cautioned that it's not clear if there's a cause-and-effect relationship or, if there is, which way it runs. "Further research is needed to determine why this is happening and whether sleep changes may predict cognitive decline," Ju said in a statement.
Alzheimer's disease begins long before there any symptoms, the researchers noted, but signs of the beta-amyloid plaques that build up in the brains of Alzheimer's patients can be detected in some cognitively normal people.
There is also evidence from animal studies that sleep disruption causes a build-up in those beta-amyloid markers, they said.
To investigate the link in humans, they turned to the Adult Children Study, a cohort of which half the members have a family history of Alzheimer's. For thisanlysis, 100 participants, ages 45 to 80, were given standardized assessments and shown to be cognitively normal.
