Alzheimer’s and Anger at Family Members

Amplify’d from www.alzheimersreadingroom.com

For many of us, anger was the only way to break an unhealthy connection between our family and ourselves. It was the only way to keep us from being held captive—emotionally, mentally and sometime spiritually....

"Every new Alzheimer’s gene defect we find provides new clues regarding the cause of the disease, and what we need to do to stop the disease..."

Ultimately, the full list of Alzheimer’s genes emerging from the family-based genetic studies of the Alzheimer’s Genome Project and the population based studies of the International Genomics of Alzheimer's Project are getting us closer and closer to someday being able to eradicate Alzheimer’s disease using a strategy of early prediction and early intervention. -- Dr. Rudolph Tanzi

White House Releases Obama Birth Certificate

Amplify’d from politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com

(CNN) – The White House released President Obama's original birth certificate Wednesday.

The surprise release follows recent and sustained remarks by businessman Donald Trump, among others, that raised doubts as to whether the president was born in the United States.

White House spokesman Jay Carney is expected to speak more about the birth certificate Wednesday morning. In an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper Monday, Trump repeated his doubts and said he had been told the certificate was "missing."

A new CNN investigation revealed earlier this week what most analysts have been saying since the "birther" controversy erupted during the 2008 presidential campaign: Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961.

While the president has made light of the controversy, the question remained political red meat for some of his critics. A recent CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll showed that nearly 75% of Americans believe Obama was definitely or probably born in the United States. More than four in 10 Republicans, however, believe he probably or definitely was not born in America.

The U.S. Constitution says only "natural born" citizens can become president - a vague clause that some members of the birther movement contend disqualifies Obama because, they insist, he was born outside the United States.

Skeptics contend, among other things, that Obama was born in his father's home country of Kenya. Read more at politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com

Americans Buy More Stuff They Don’t Need

Number of the Week: Americans Buy More Stuff They Don’t Need

Amplify’d from blogs.wsj.com

As it turns out, quite a lot. A non-scientific study of Commerce Department data suggests that in February, U.S. consumers spent an annualized $1.2 trillion on non-essential stuff including pleasure boats, jewelry, booze, gambling and candy. That’s 11.2% of total consumer spending, up from 9.3% a decade earlier and only 4% in 1959, adjusted for inflation. In February, spending on non-essential stuff was up an inflation-adjusted 3.3% from a year earlier, compared to 2.4% for essential stuff such as food, housing and medicine.

Interestingly, people who spend more on luxuries have experienced less inflation. As of February, the weighted average price of non-essential goods and services was up only 0.2% from a year earlier and 82% from January 1959, according to the Commerce Department. By contrast, the cost of all consumer goods was up 1.6% from a year earlier and 520% from January 1959. Read more at blogs.wsj.com

Twister shuts main St. Louis airport

Storm damage shuts down St. Louis airport for several days

Amplify’d from www.cbsnews.com

ST. LOUIS - Reports of more than a dozen tornadoes around the St. Louis area overnight have left major damage around the region - and have shut down the Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.

The storm Friday evening caused several minor injuries at the airport, as people ran for shelter while plated glass shattered around them. A large section of the roof was torn off of the main terminal, and debris was scattered around the runway as planes sat at the gates.

Flights into St. Louis were diverted to other locations, and it's not yet known when Lambert will reopen. Air travelers planning to get to St. Louis will have to go to Kansas City or even Chicago, and then drive. "Nothing's coming in today or tomorrow" at Lambert, said Crane.

There are windows from floor to ceiling on every end of the airport, and 50% of the windows blew out or blew in, causing some minor lacerations to passengers and people waiting in the terminals, said CBS Affiliate KMOV correspondent Maggie Crane. Read more at www.cbsnews.com

Exclusive: Apple to beat Google on cloud music: sources

Amplify’d from www.reuters.com

Apple Inc has completed work on an online music storage service and is set to launch it ahead of Google Inc, whose own music efforts have stalled, according to several people familiar with both companies' plans.

Apple's plans will allow iTunes customers to store their songs on a remote server, and then access them from wherever they have an Internet connection, said two of these people who asked not to be named as the talks are still confidential.

The maker of the wildly popular iPhone and iPod, Apple has yet to sign any new licenses for the service and major music labels are hoping to secure deals before the service is launched, three of the sources said. Apple has not told its music partners of when it intends to introduce its music locker, they said. Read more at www.reuters.com
