Yep. 25,000 words. Right on schedule. This weekend was kind of hectic, so I spent most of today doing what the kids call, "Catching the F*@K Up!" And I made it. My brain's utter mush right now, so much so that I found this sweet Ma Fratelli painting and wanted to make all these cool Goonies references, but now I just wanna go to bed. But first, I need a glass of water. Wait, this isn't water. "It's wet, ain't it? Now, drink it!" Okay, a weak one, but kiss off.
Oh, don't kiss off until you read this excerpt. Not sure how many more of these I got in me, we'll see. This one's kinda self-explanatory, but Stanley received something in the mail, and something oddly coincidental happened after he opened it. Enjoy!
Stanley had always loved Ashtonville in the autumn, the fiery reds and oranges and yellows in the trees that made them look like a glowing fire. When he and Esther had made the decision to move back to Minnesota from Chicago to raise their family and bury Stanley's old life as a writer, it was the finest decision they ever made. There was something about the smell, a swirling concoction of crumbled leaves, wet grass, and the faintest hint of bonfire, as if somewhere, someone was perpetually warming themselves by a small flame.
He walked every day; it was part of his cardiovascular routine that kept him mobile while others his age wiled away their golden years being tended to by a young person in a nursing home who was always checking his watch to see if it was time to break free from the smell of death and loneliness. It kept him fit. Though no one saw under his baggy flannel shirt and khaki slacks, he still had a bit of muscle wrapped around his wiry frame. He still had moxie.
His route would vary. Sometimes, he would take the hilly path through Ashtonville that led him past the main strip of town, where small businesses toiled away the day, diners and liquor stores and bars. Past them, an ancient white brick building housed the police department and fire department, all in one. Ashtonville was by no means a large town, and it knew its roots. Since things had been working without a hitch for many years, they avoided change. He'd see Harry Westerman, the police chief, a stout man whose paunch strained the uniform he wore and whose mustache was always perfectly combed. He'd see Cindy Marble, the wide-eyed proprietor of the town's oldest gas station, her glasses the size of small dinner plates and her red hair frizzed and on end, as if she'd touched a live wire in the cooler while refilling the soda bottles. He knew these people, had known their families, their histories, and it comforted him. Their presence was a warm blanket.
His other route was more somber. His modest rambler home rested near the edge of town, where houses became farms and were separated by acres of land, some sprouting beans, others corn. Just outside of town, a small gravel road with a faded sign naming it County Road 17 cut through farmland and up into a large outcropping of trees, poplars and elms and birch, a splash of color that came upon him like an impressionistic painting. The gravel road wound downhill then, through the trees, and came out at the Ashtonville Memorial Cemetery, fenced-in hillocks covered with sentinel headstones and watched over by a chiseled Christ on the cross, a vibrant white marble set against the blue of a cloudless sky.
It was this second route Stanley chose to take this day. Even if there were nothing rolling around in his mind that needed sorting out, he'd have taken it anyway. Hell, it was that time of year. And the colors were almost peak.
He flipped the collar on his tweed jacket up to protect his neck from the stiff and cool breeze of the morning, and tugged his herringbone wool cap down over his wispy hair. Minnesota winter's coming soon, he could smell it in the air and feel it creeping its rust into the hinges of his skeleton.
He buried his hands in the pockets of the tweed jacket as he continued his walk along the gravel road, listened to its rhythmic crunch with each step. In his right pocket, he fingered the folded paper on which the number 29 was typed. Small, simple type. Profound meaning.
Sleep had not come back to him after he discovered the connection between the note and the book. He lay in bed and thought about who possibly could have sent this to him, who here in Ashtonville was as familiar with his work, even more familiar it seemed, than he himself. He'd risen out of bed, the Sherlock Holmes in him coming out, as he rummaged through a junk drawer in the kitchen until he found amongst the pencils and golf tees and take out menus a small magnifying glass used for reading. Esther had had bad eyes.
He'd held the envelope under the lamp in his office and studied the postmark with the magnifying glass, hoping a minute detail, a couple of connecting letters in the city name that he could piece together, would be visible under scrutiny. Alas, it was too faded, too poorly stamped, to read.
Before him, the winding path took its 'ess' turn down the slope, and a pick-up, a beat up old thing, rumbled past. Dennis Haefner, out on what could be a last minute run before the harvest began. It was getting to be that time of year.
Dennis raised two fingers off the steering wheel as Stanley sidestepped out of the vehicle's way, kicked up a small plume of dust as it headed away towards town. Another day in the life for everyone in this town except for Stanley, and the poor lady who had been killed by an Alestair Snyde copycat.
The awe inspired by the statue of Christ in the center of the cemetery never ceased to amaze Stanley. It was more of an architectural thing than a spiritual thing, he supposed. He was never a church-going soul, not like Esther. No, he had always thought that going to church on Sunday made him a Christian about as much as standing in a garage made him a Cadillac. But whoever had constructed the statue had done a damn fine job.
Esther's headstone was toward the back, tucked in under a copse of pine and shaded for the better part of the day. Shortly after her death, Roger and Marilyn, Stanley's daughter, a CPA in Boston, had purchased and placed an old pine bench under the trees in honor of their mother. Had a plaque on it and all. Stanley sat here, quite often, actually, if he had something to mull over. And this sure did qualify as mulling material.
"Hey darlin'," he spoke aloud, comforted to hear his voice.
And then nothing.
After a time, he collected his thoughts, and spoke.
"Roger's been harping on me about needin' help, just like we thought. Told him I'd never see the inside of no nursing home. Old age has made me stubborn, dear. Got something in the mail, not sure what to make of it. Not yet. Poor lady's been killed in town, saddest thing, and I think I got a warning. Just didn't realize it at the time. They've been reading my books, whoever done this, and they killed her by choking her with neckties, like that old story Charlie and you told me I was crazy to write, but I done it anyway.
"Gonna take some time before I tell anyone. Just what they want, a crazy old coot rambling on about how he's being haunted by his work. Golly. Golly golly, Miss Molly.
"I miss you, girl."
He sat there taking in the fall colors, watched a squirrel scurry across a headstone and bound into a tree, humming the old Crimson Avenger theme. It was all coming back to him. That old life. Those days of dreaming up the most shocking story and seeing who could top one another, he and Charlie and Eugene and sometimes even Joey Kramer, the kid who ran his pages to the editor and took his suits to the cleaner.
He smiled and closed his eyes, lifting his head to the sky. The sun poked through between some of the swaying branches, creating dancing light on the inside of his eyelids.
He dozed for a bit, then woke for the walk home.

OSU is Oklahoma's first Truman Honor Institution due to its number of Truman Scholars.
Uganda native Joyce Nabisaalu will take some Oklahoma State University know-how to the 2015 International Textile and Apparel Association conference, where she will present a crafted dress. Nabisaalu is one of 12 African entrepreneurs who recently took part in an exchange project hosted by OSU.
The program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, brought entrepreneurs from Kenya, South Africa and Uganda to OSU last May to learn about doing business in the United States.
During her visit to OSU, Nabisaalu gained new skills for her fashion line while working with Mary Ruppert-Stroescu, an assistant professor in design, housing and merchandising. As a result of their collaboration, Nabisaalu created a handmade, beaded dress that was chosen for presentation at the International Textile and Apparel Association conference in October 2015 in Charlotte, N.C. She will use her design to compete for scholarships, gift certificates and design equipment.
The Ugandan native has applied to OSU's graduate college and hopes to pursue a doctorate in the College of Human Sciences.

Turning redundant space to use has given this kitchen a new focus
When you undertake a remodeling project, even though the plan is to make changes and improvements, in most cases you strive to keep the integrity of what has gone before.
The owners of the featured property were looking to update their kitchen, and wanted to create a family-friendly space with better circulation, but they were also mindful of the character that existed already, says kitchen designer Elina Katsioula-Beall CKD, of DeWitt Designer Kitchens.
"The overall opinion was that the kitchen layout was totally impractical and the space too small for a growing family. Together with the adjacent laundry room and bathroom, it was also part of a series of dark, enclosed spaces."
The wall between the laundry and dining area was removed, and the laundry resited in the bathroom. The newly created space became the preparation and cooking area of the kitchen.
"We also cut down the floor-to-ceiling brick wall to make a half-wall, which helped create an open feeling," says Katsioula-Beall.
For owners Abby and Jay Fukuto, the most important aspect was to maintain the warm, welcoming feeling of the original kitchen, due in part to the material palette.
"From the outset, one huge concern was our existing wood flooring. The floorboards are wide-plank oak, wire-brushed with old wrought iron nails. The new kitchen floor had to match the rest of the house – if they hadn't been able to match the wooden boards, I'm not sure we would have gone ahead with the project," says one of the owners.
Equally important was a collection of vintage kitchenware. Katsioula-Beall created new cabinetry, which included custom elements to display these treasured items. For everyday use, the designers added an integrated buffet that reads as a stand-alone piece – another contribution to the kitchen's eclectic appeal.

This nonprofit visually encourages, enriches, and inspires. In watching these everyday stories, I am encouraged to look for them in my community and honor them. The composition, filming and musical scoring is wonderful!
Little Pearls is a brilliant non-profit that produces brief little messages from the heart that touch your soul. These little gems are a reflection of the executive director and co-founder, a woman of both intelligence and deep compassion who understands that the world needs these little films. I wholeheartedly agree.
Every month our restaurant raises money for a local non profit. For the last several years Little Pearls has been a focus of one of our drives. It is run by great people who do remarkable work impacting people with short inspirational films. I highly recommend them
These stories open your heart, widen your perspective and bring joy to all who see them.
the stories capture the essence of compassion, joy, and wonder at the beauty of this life.
it tackles tough subjects with new eyes helping all think differently
I look at their videos for inspiration and uplifting. they are the best!
Little Pearls is a genuine grassroots labor of love, providing touching and timely small films that inform, inspire and prompt people to think more compassionately about one another, creatures and the environment. The films are conceived, produced and shared on a shoestring budget and are remarkably beautiful.
Little Pearls tell the stories of ordinary people who have done very special things for others or for the world, or, who have faced difficult challenges and rose to overcome them, or become better people, as the result of their struggles. These short videos are an inspiration every time I see one. They pack a maximum wallop in a minimum amount of time, and are excellent value for my donation to help with filming or screenings, or, for any idealistic person/organization trying to make this a better world for all humankind..
Little Pearls' short films is an art form that seeks to enlighten, engage, lift and strengthen. They are films that educate, inspire, and draw deep on emotions. I especially love the dog pearls, because animals sheltering and rescue are my passion. To see the dogs romping in open fields with such great joy, and also to see "Spirit Dog" about those who have left us, was an amazing experience. I watched them over and over, and I will do so again, especially when I or a friend loses a beloved pet. The director of Little Pearls, Linda McLean, is one of the most soulful, spiritual, gracious and loving people I know. I treasure her and respect her work. She is one of the main reasons I contribute to Lillte Pearls.
Over the years, I've been involved in many non-profit organizations. It's hard to put my finger on what - specifically - is different about Little Pearls. Really, it's not just one thing, but many.
Starting with its founders. Two amazing women with a vision.
Two creative, generous souls who saw the need for more positive messages in a trepidatious world
I've had the wonderful opportunity to befriend them both and to spend time with, assist, and observe Linda McClean, the amazingly dedicated, hardworking director. I bear witness to the long hours and selfless perseverance she contributes to this beautiful organization every...single...day.
With tireless and irrepressible devotion, she takes our positive visions and shapeshifts them into works of art - short enough to fit any media slot, with so much beauty that they bring tears to the eyes of children of all ages. (My mom, who's 88, will attest to that!)
Tears - happy, caring tears - in our eyes - through which we are able to catch a glimpse of a better future.
I've had the opportunity to be part of the creative process and to witness - from the brainstorming of an idea to the finishing touches - the creation of a Pearl. What a gift!
Singing dogs. Baby owls. School children. Gentle-spirited farmers reaching out to other farmers. A young woman who, even disabled, has learned to dance. An old woman whose rich laughter speaks of an equally rich life. Each pearl is part of a long and lovely string of pearls that has, is, and will continue to touch and enrich lives. Mine included.
These tiny films, crafted with such loving artistry, are gifts to a world longing to believe in something better.
Once our world was totally filled with commercials that were self serving and xxxx. Now thanks to "Little Pearls" we can breathe a little easier, not feel bad about looking for the good in people, and take a moment to enjoy and enrich our hearts and souls. The art work and cinematography are breathtaking, the message clear...love each other, from the heart, harm no one or thing and cultivate peace.
I am moved by the work of this organization. Its video shorts are like commercials for...well, for all of the things that should have commercials but don't. They are reminders of the special people and emotions in our lives that don't have their own endowments, special interests or campaigns. Ironically, there just isn't any profit in lifting up friends and emotions strictly for their own sake.
I represent a small foundation that has the fundamental mission of supporting "life enhancing" efforts. Our grantees span a spectrum from animal rescue to environmental advocacy and spirituality. Little Pearls was one of our earliest grant recipients, chosen for the exceptionally powerful voice it gives to the spirit of wonder and the gentle charge it makes to each of us to be aware and to take responsibility for our part in protecting all the little pearls of our lives. Beverly Johnston, Blessings Project Foundation

My name is Scott C. Carter and I am the President and CEO of Creative Map Solutions, a Geographic Information System (GIS) solution and Mapping Support company based out of Firestone, CO. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Marketing from the Metropolitan State University of Denver. Shortly after, I became the Lead Technical Consultant for IMT Associates and ISSI Spatial Technologies.
A true artist at heart, I have become an expert on a number industry leading software formats utilized for GIS, mapping, drafting, 3D modeling, and data conversion. These include Global Mapper, ArcGIS Desktop, Spatial Analyst, 3D Analyst, AutoCAD, Surfer, ET GeoWizards, Joomla, CorelDraw, and Adobe Photoshop. After leaving IMT Associates and ISSI Spatial Technologies, I found an innovative and successful way to marry both, my artistic prowess and my technological acumen. In 1998 I co-founded Digital Data Services, Inc., a GIS consultation and solution firm. I served as the President and Director of Marketing and Sales until January of 2015.
Over the last twenty years I have provided document conversion, technical support and consultation, and GIS and technical solutions to over 3,000 private and government companies. In addition, I have also designed cartographical renderings and supplied multimedia solutions to various publications and film companies. A few notable companies which I have partnered with include the Atlanta Falcons, DreamWorks™/Universal Studios, NIKE™, CNN, and the Discovery Channel.
Other projects of note on which I have been an integral player assuming the role of Project Manager include the USGS PLSS Data Conversion Project, the Western States Federal Lands GIS Ownership Files, the Bureau of Reclamation Data Conversion Project, the Great Lakes Digitization Project, BLM- Survey Maps Geo-referencing, and Mining Reclamation and Safety GIS for the State of Colorado. I have also provided consulting and performed work for the Bureau of Land Management with the conversion of Colorado land use documentation into a web-based application. Additionally, I have consulted with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on an Internet based mapping application, which in turn, set the standard for their web-based map products.
I have had my work published in the standard version of the Grand Canyon National Parks Map as well as the 3D version, and I am certified in Contex Large Format Scanner Repair. In 2015 I took another step in my extensive career and founded Creative Map Solutions, adding "Serial Entrepreneur" to my resume. With my newest venture I strive to leverage my experience to handle everything from large one-time projects, to ongoing GIS and mapping support. I do this by engaging with my customers to provide the best geospatial solution to fit their needs, and most importantly, their budget.

Lawrence trial man's ranting 'like Clarkson'
The racist rants by a man accused of murdering Stephen Lawrence were compared yesterday to Jeremy Clarkson's comments that public sector strikers should be shot.
Gary Dobson was recorded using obscene racist words and recalling how he threatened to slash a black work colleague with a knife 20 months after Stephen was stabbed to death. Police had put a secret camera in his flat. David Norris, his co-defendant, discussed with other friends torturing and killing black people.
In a reference to Clarkson on the BBC's One Show last month, Timothy Roberts, QC, for Dobson, said: "Recently a prominent BBC television presenter announced on prime-time television that in his opinion striking public sector workers should be taken out and shot in front of their families," he…

Reviews: Best Served
Cliche as hell
So, it's an interesting comic for sure, but there's a rather large problem - it's clearly written to satisfy a Fan Wank that insists that absolutely any minor character with a fandom be behind everything for ever more because "OMG Koh wears a mask! You know who else wears a mask!?". Problem is, it's really out of character for either of the characters to act this way from what we saw in the old series - Koh in the entire history of the universe only deliberately punished a single person and Wan Shi Tong simply wanted solitude. A well crafted piece, but the idea was tired even when it was written. Though it is amusing to see Fan Wank survive past its expiration date.
Spot on spirits
As a fan who's been missing the spiritual elements of Avatar, this comic was pretty much fantastic. Koh and Wan Shi Tong were otherworldly, their motivations believably explored, and the whole thing had just the right amount of uncanny thrown in. The art's pretty spiffy too.
Koh and that Old Klingon Proverb
The comic captures the oddness of the spirits quite well, and strongly hints at their Blue And Orange Morality without getting into too much detail. The reveal is easy to see coming, but that's not where the enjoyment in this comic comes from. Rather, it discusses an issue only gestured at so far in The Legend of Korra — the loss of spirituality in the modern era — and does so from the perspective of those that have the most to lose from humanity's materialistic turn, even if it's only in a moral sense.

Note: While I'm off traipsing around the globe, some of my wonderful blogger friends have agreed to guest blog for me… Today I give you Reia!
For the last few years Robert and I have had a Friday night tradition called Burritos and Beer. As the name implies, we go buy a couple of six packs of whatever beer strikes our fancy then grab a couple of burritos, usually from Chipotle, Qdoba, or Wahoo's. I always look forward to B&B Fridays but since late September I've been more excited for them than ever. That's because on September 23rd, Chipotle finally rolled out their Sofritas in all the Colorado locations.
It took 20 years for Chipotle to add a new protein to their lineup, but they went out of their way to ensure that the flavor would be so good it would even win over the most carnivorous patrons. Oddly enough, that wasn't the intention when the decision to add another protein was made. In this article, Chef Nate Appleman describes how sofritas came to be—and why he's such a huge fan of it now.
If you haven't heard of Sofritas, here's the exact description:
Sounds yummy, right? And who wouldn't want to have the option of something in their burrito besides rice and beans? I waited so impatiently for them to bring Sofritas here after testing it out in California earlier this year, and I can tell you it was worth the wait. Shredding the tofu gives it a perfect chewy texture and braising it infuses each piece with subtle smokiness and spice. It turned my usual brown rice, black beans, and fajita veggies burrito into something new and wonderful, adding some much needed depth of flavor.
As you can tell by my picture this thing was stuffed full to bursting. I almost couldn't eat it all because the tofu was so filling. Almost. But it was just so damn good I ate the whole thing and didn't regret it one bit. Suffice to say, B&B Fridays are now C&B Fridays. Chipotle is the only place I will to go for my weekly burrito fix.
Chipotle's sofritas puts them way ahead of the game when it comes to vegan options at fast-casual restaurants. Sure, you can get tofu added to dishes at Noodles and Company or Tokyo Joes, but the few times I've had it at either place it was little more than unseasoned, barely grilled cubes of sadness. Chipotle transformed the tofu instead of making it a thoughtless add-on and the success they've had introducing it shows that customers appreciate that. Since its limited roll-out in the San Francisco area in February, the sofritas option had expanded greatly and shows no sign of slowing down. If you live in an area where it's offered and you haven't tried it yet, do so NOW!! You won't regret it. And if you are unfortunate enough to live outside of the currently available areas, be patient because I have no doubt you will see it soon!

|Review by: Ping Calloway
|This nine hole course is over-priced, in need of some loving care. There is bare ground all over the place. If you like hitting off of cement, you will love the place. The hills ( mountains ) will kill you. There are numerous hazards in the wrong place. In my opinion this could be a great course but wait till it is properly taken care of and somewhat redesigned. It is a real "hackers heaven".

Each year my video production company is hired to go to Washington, DC, with the eighth grade class from Clinton, Wisconsin where I grew up, to videotape their trip. I always enjoy visiting our nation's capital, and each year I take some special memories back with me. But this fall's trip (2000) was especially memorable.
On the last night of our trip, we stopped at the Iwo Jima Memorial. It is the largest bronze statue in the world and depicts one of the most famous photographs in history – the World War II image of six men raising the American flag at the top of Mount Suribachi on the island of Iwo Jima, Japan. About one hundred student and chaperons piled off the buses and headed toward the Memorial. I noticed a solitary figure at the base of the statue, and as I got closer he asked who I was and where I was from. I told him my name was Michael Powers and that we were from Clinton, Wisconsin.
"Hey, I'm a Cheesehead, too! Come gather around, Cheeseheads, and I'll tell you a story."
James Bradley just happened to be in Washington, DC, to speak at the Memorial the following day. He had just said good night to the image of his dad on the statue and was about to leave when he saw the buses pull up. I videotaped him as he spoke to us, and received his permission to share what he said from my videotape. It is one thing to tour the incredible monuments filled with history in Washington, DC, but it is quite another to get the kind of insight we received that night. When we had gathered around, he reverently began to speak.
"My name is James Bradley and I'm from Antigo, Wisconsin. My dad is on that statue, and I just wrote a book called Flags Of Our Fathers, which is #5 on the New York Times Best-Seller list right now. It is the story of the six boys you see behind me. Six boys raised the flag."
He pointed to the guy putting the pole in the ground and told us his name was Harlon Block. "Harlon was an all-state football player. He enlisted in the Marine Corps with all the senior members of his football team. They were off to play another type of game, a game called 'war.' But it didn't turn out to be a game. Harlon, at the age of 21, died with his intestines in his hands. I don't say that to gross you out; I say that because there are generals who stand in front of this statue and talk about the glory of war. You guys need to know that most of the boys in Iwo Jima were 17, 18, and 19 years old.
"You see this next guy? That's Rene Gagnon from New Hampshire. If you took Rene's helmet off at the moment this photo was taken and looked in the webbing of his helmet, you'd find a photograph. A photograph of his girlfriend. Rene put that in there for protection, because he was scared. He was 18 years old. Boys won the battle of Iwo Jima. Boys! Not men.
"The next guy here, the third guy in this tableau was Sergeant Mike Strank. Mike is my hero. He was the hero of all these guys. The called him the 'old man' because he was so old. He was already 25. When Mike would motivate his boys in training camp, he didn't say, 'Let's go kill the enemy' or 'Let's die for our country.' He knew he was talking to boys. Instead he'd say, 'You do like I say, and I'll get you home to your mothers.'
"The last guy on this side of the statue is Ira Hayes, a Pima Indian from Arizona. Ira walked off Iwo Jima. He went to the White House with my dad and President Truman told him, 'You're a here.' He told reporters, 'How can I feel like a hero when 250 of my buddies hit the island with me and only 27 of us walked off alive?'
"So you take your class at school, 250 of you spending a year together having fun, doing everything together. Then all 250 of you hit be beach, but only 27 of your classmates walk off alive. That was Ira Hayes. He had images of horror in his mind. Ira Hayes died dead drunk at the age of 32, ten years after the famous photo was taken.
"The next guy going around the statue, is Franklin Sousley from Hilltop, Kentucky, a fun-lovin' hillbilly boy… Franklin died on Iwo Jima at the age of 19. When the telegram came to tell his mother that he was dead, it went to the Hilltop General Store. A barefoot boy ran that telegram up to his mother's farm. The neighbors could hear her scream all night and into the morning. The neighbors lived a quarter of a mile away.
Finally he pointed to the statue's image of his father, John Bradley from Antigo. "My dad lived until 1994, but he never gave interviews. When Walter Cronkite's producers or the New York Times would call, we were trained as little kids to say, 'No, I'm sorry, sir, my dad's not here. He's in Canada fishing. No, there's no phone there, sir. No, we don't know when he's coming back.' My dad never fished or even went to Canada. Usually he was sitting right there at the table eating his Campbell's soup, but we had to tell the press that he was out fishing.
"You see, my dad didn't see himself as a here. Everyone thinks these guys are heroes, 'cause they're in a photo and on a monument. My dad knew better. As a medic on Iwo Jima, he probably held over 200 boys as they died, and when boys died on Iwo Jima, they writhed and screamed in pain.
"When I was a little boy, my third grade teacher told me that my dad was a hero. When I went home and told my dad that, he said, 'I want you to always remember that the heroes of Iwo Jima are the guys who did not come back. Did NOT come back.'
"So that's the story about six nice young boys," Bradley finished. "Three died on Iwo Jima, and three came back as national heroes. Overall, 7000 boys died on Iwo Jima in the worst battle in the history of the Marine Corps. My voice is giving out, so I will end here. Thank you for your time."
Suddenly the Monument wasn't just a big old piece of metal with a flag sticking out of the top. It came to life before our eyes with the heartfelt words of a son who did, indeed, have a father who was a hero. Maybe not a hero in his own eyes, but a hero nonetheless.

Current diagnosis of Alzheimer disease (Alzheimer's disease) is made by clinical, neuropsychological, and neuroimaging assessments. Routine structural neuroimaging evaluation is based on nonspecific features such as atrophy, which is a late feature in the progression of the disease. Therefore, developing new approaches for early and specific recognition of Alzheimer disease at the prodromal stages is of crucial importance.
Alzheimer disease was first described in 1907 by Alois Alzheimer. From its original status as a rare disease, Alzheimer disease has become one of the most common diseases in the aging population, ranking as the fourth most common cause of death. Alzheimer disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the gradual onset of dementia. The pathologic hallmarks of the disease are beta-amyloid (Aß) plaques, neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), and reactive gliosis. (See the images and slideshows below.)
Click here to view a slideshow presentation on Alzheimer Disease. Click here to view the Alzheimer Disease Radiograph slideshow.
Effective therapies to cure Alzheimer disease, or to simply halt or slow its progression, are still lacking. A number of in vivo neuroimaging techniques that can be used to reliably and noninvasively assess aspects of neuroanatomy, chemistry, physiology, and pathology hold promise. With time and improvements in technology, these imaging techniques may yield acceptable neuroimaging biomarkers for Alzheimer disease.
Although present therapy for Alzheimer disease involves enhancers of cholinergic function, disease-modifying agents may be available in the future. Emphasis is being placed on detecting the presymptomatic phase of the disease, which can be termed mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Neuroimaging is also used to exclude other causes of dementia, such as normal-pressure hydrocephalus, brain tumors, subdural hematoma, and multiple infarctions.
Preferred examination
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be considered the preferred neuroimaging examination for Alzheimer disease because it allows for accurate measurement of the 3-dimensional (3D) volume of brain structures, especially the size of the hippocampus and related regions.
Neuroimaging is widely believed to be generally useful for excluding reversible causes of dementia syndrome, such as normal-pressure hydrocephalus, brain tumors, and subdural hematoma, and for excluding other likely causes of dementia, such as cerebrovascular disease.
The practice parameters for the diagnosis and evaluation of dementia, as published by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), consider structural brain imaging optimal. [1] Nonenhanced computed tomography (CT) scanning and MRI are the appropriate imaging methods. [2] The AAN suggests that neuroimaging may be most useful in patients with dementia characterized by an early onset or an unusual course.
There have been several studies of neuroimaging findings in Alzheimer disease. Van de Pol et al found that medial temporal lobe atrophy seems to be a more important predictor of cognition than small-vessel disease in MCI. Lacunes were associated with performance on the Digit Symbol Substitution Test, especially in subjects with milder median temporal lobe atrophy (MTA). There was no discernible association between white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) and the cognitive measures in this study after adjustment for age. [3]
Study of the dopamine transporter (DaTScan) is used to distinguish Lewy body dementia from Alzheimer disease. Numerous studies are under way to identify specific imaging markers for different types of dementia, including cerebral volumetric measurements, diffusion imaging, spectroscopy, very-high-field MRI scans of senile plaques, and positron emission tomography (PET) scan markers of senile plaques. [4]
Blood-brain barrier (BBB) impairment is a stable characteristic over 1 year and is present in an important subgroup of patients with Alzheimer disease. Age, gender, ApoE status, vascular risk factors, and baseline Mini-Mental State Examination score did not explain the variability in BBB integrity. BBB impairment as a possible modifier of disease progression is suggested by correlations between the CSF-albumin index and measures of disease progression over 1 year. [5] The BBB is dysfunctional in a portion of all patients with Alzheimer disease, primarily in men. BBB dysfunction may influence the clearance of both harmful and beneficial substances across the barrier. Renal function may have an impact on the BBB. [6]
Pittsburgh Compound-B PET scan findings match histopathologic reports of Aß distribution in aging and dementia. Noninvasive longitudinal studies to better understand the role of amyloid deposition in the course of neurodegeneration and to determine if Aß deposition in nondemented subjects is preclinical Alzheimer disease are now feasible. Our findings also suggest that Aß may influence the development of dementia with Lewy bodies, and therefore, strategies to reduce Aß may benefit this condition. [7, 8, 9, 10]
De Leon et al concluded that the combined use of conventional imaging, such as MRI or fluorodeoxyglucose PET (FDG-PET) scanning, with selected CSF biomarkers can incrementally contribute to the early and specific diagnosis of Alzheimer disease. Moreover, selected combinations of imaging and CSF biomarker measures are of importance in monitoring the course of Alzheimer disease and, therefore, are relevant to evaluating clinical trials. [11]
CT Scan
The initial criteria for CT scan diagnosis of Alzheimer disease includes diffuse cerebral atrophy with enlargement of the cortical sulci and increased size of the ventricles. A multitude of studies indicated that cerebral atrophy is significantly greater in patients with Alzheimer disease than in patients who are aging without Alzheimer disease.
This concept was soon challenged, however, because cerebral atrophy can be present in elderly and healthy persons, and some patients with dementia may have no cerebral atrophy, at least in the early stages. The extent of cerebral atrophy was determined by using linear measurements; in particular, bifrontal and bicaudate diameters and the diameters of the third and lateral ventricles. Various measurements were adjusted according to the diameter of the skull to account for normal variation.
To complement this modification, volumetric studies of the ventricles were done. Despite these efforts, it is still difficult to distinguish between findings in a healthy elderly patient and those in a patient with dementia.
In addition, a review of serial CT scans obtained over several months was not clinically useful in the primary diagnosis of the disease.
Rate of change of brain atrophy
Changes in the rate of atrophy progression can be useful in diagnosing Alzheimer disease. [12] Longitudinal changes in brain size are associated with longitudinal progression of cognitive loss, [13] and enlargement of the third and lateral ventricles is greater in patients with Alzheimer disease than in control subjects. [14]
Changes in brain structure
Diffuse cerebral atrophy with widened sulci and dilatation of the lateral ventricles can be observed. Disproportionate atrophy of the medial temporal lobe, particularly of the volume of the hippocampal formations (< 50%), can be seen.
Dilatation of the perihippocampal fissure is a useful radiologic marker for the initial diagnosis of Alzheimer disease, with a predictive accuracy of 91%. [15] The hippocampal fissure is surrounded laterally by the hippocampus, superiorly by the dentate gyrus, and inferiorly by the subiculum. These structures are all involved in the early development of Alzheimer disease and explain the enlargement in the early stages. At the medial aspect, the fissure communicates with the ambient cistern, and its enlargement on CT scans is often seen as hippocampal lucency or hypoattenuation in the temporal area medial to the temporal horn.
The temporal horns of the lateral ventricles may be enlarged. Prominence of the choroid and hippocampal fissures and enlargement of the sylvian fissure may be noted. White matter attenuation is not a feature of Alzheimer disease.
Degree of confidence
CT scan indices of hippocampal atrophy are highly associated with Alzheimer disease, but the specificity is not well established. Use of a nonquantitative rating scale showed a sensitivity of 81% and a specificity of 67% in differentiating 21 patients with Alzheimer disease with moderate dementia from 21 age-matched control subjects. [16] Hippocampal volumes in a sample of similar size permitted correct classification of 85% of control subjects. [17]
Many studies have shown that cerebral atrophy is significantly greater in patients with Alzheimer disease (Alzheimer's disease) than in persons without it. However, the variability of atrophy in the normal aging process makes it difficult to use MRI as a definitive diagnostic technique. [18, 19, 20] (See the images below.)
Fox et al used an automated technique that is potentially applicable in the clinical setting to subtract MRI scans obtained an average of 1 year apart. They observed that there was a significant difference between the rate of change in patients with Alzheimer disease and the rate in control subjects. With MRI, sensitivity and specificity were approximately 90% for predicting the decline in dementia. [21]
Early MRI studies to evaluate the size of the hippocampus in patients with Alzheimer disease relative to control subjects showed large reductions in hippocampal volumes (approximately 50%) and high sensitivity and specificity for classification. [22] Over time, enlargement of the temporal horns, as well as of the third and lateral ventricles, was noted in patients with Alzheimer disease compared with control subjects.
On structural MRI, atrophy of the entorhinal cortex is already present in MCI. In the autosomal-dominant forms of Alzheimer disease, the rate of atrophy of the medial temporal structures differentiates affected individuals from control subjects as early as 3 years before the clinical onset of cognitive impairment. The accelerated annual rate of brain atrophy is a surrogate tool for evaluating new therapies in small samples that saves time and resources.
MRI measurements of the hippocampus, amygdala, cingulate gyrus, head of the caudate nucleus, temporal horn, lateral ventricles, third ventricle, and basal forebrain yield a prediction rate of 77% for conversion to Alzheimer disease from questionable Alzheimer disease. [23, 24]
Functional MRI (fMRI) techniques can be used to measure cerebral perfusion. Dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI consists of the passage of a concentrated bolus of a paramagnetic contrast agent that sufficiently distorts the local magnetic field to cause a transient loss of signal with pulse sequences, especially T2-weighted sequences. The passage of contrast material is imaged over time by sequential rapid imaging of the same section. In animal studies, the rate of change of signal intensity over time gives a measure directly proportional to cerebral blood volume. Studies in humans have shown a correlation between PET and DSC MRI scan results, as well as between cerebral blood volumes measured with DSC MRI and perfusion on single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scanning.
Studies have been performed using MRI with echo-planar imaging and signal targeting with attenuation radiofrequency (EPISTAR) in patients with Alzheimer disease. Focal areas of hypoperfusion were in the posterior temporoparietooccipital regions. Ratios of signal intensity in the parieto-occipital and temporo-occipital areas to signal intensity on whole section signal intensity were significantly lower in the patients with Alzheimer disease than in those without it. The parieto-occipital ratios were not correlated with the severity of dementia, as measured by using the Blessed Dementia Scale Information Memory Concentration subset.
With fMRI, structural imaging can be done by using the same imaging plane, field of view, and section thickness. Activational fMRI studies have included blood oxygenation level–dependent (BOLD) imaging, which uses changes in the level of oxygenated hemoglobin in capillary beds to depict areas of regional brain activation. In Alzheimer disease, fMRI activation in the hippocampal and prefrontal regions is decreased.
On fMRI, paradigms activate a larger area of parietotemporal association cortex in persons at high risk for Alzheimer disease than in others, whereas the entorhinal cortex activation is relatively low in MCI. [25]
The techniques are reasonably sensitive and specific in differentiating Alzheimer disease from changes resulting from normal aging, and studies with pathologic confirmation show good sensitivity and specificity in differentiating Alzheimer disease from other dementias. These techniques can also be used to detect abnormalities in asymptomatic or presymptomatic individuals, and they may help in predicting the decline to dementia.
Atlthough hippocampal volume has been shown in MRI studies to be associated with cognitive impairment in patients with Alzheimer disease, hippocampal texture has also been shown to be a predictor of conversion of mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer disease, according to the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative. [26]
Degree of confidence
MRI findings of hippocampal atrophy are highly associated with Alzheimer disease (Alzheimer's disease), but the specificity is not well established. [27] Studies have shown that in patients with Alzheimer disease and moderate dementia, hippocampal volumes permitted correct classification in 85% of patients. [28] In patients with Alzheimer disease and mild dementia, sensitivity was 77%, and specificity, 80%. [29] Hippocampal volume was the best discriminator, although a number of medical temporal-lobe structures were studied, including the amygdala and the parahippocampal gyrus.
False positives/negatives
Hippocampal atrophy appears to be a feature of vascular disease (multi-infarct dementia) and Parkinson disease, even in patients with Parkinson disease without dementia. Hippocampal and entorhinal cortical atrophy are features of frontotemporal dementia, but they do not appear to be as profound as atrophy is in Alzheimer disease (Alzheimer's disease). [30]
SPECT Scanning
Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scanning uses direct photon-emitting isotopes rather than radioisotopes. SPECT isotopes have an average half-life of 6-12 hours.
SPECT instrumentation is highly variable; therefore, use of a SPECT scanner with poor resolution can result in poor clinical performance. Positron-emission tomography (PET) scanning uses tracers that measure regional glucose metabolism (rCMRGlc). SPECT imaging is most commonly used for blood-flow measurement.
Early SPECT studies of blood flow replicated findings of functional reductions in the posterior temporal and parietal cortex. The severity of temporoparietal hypofunction has been correlated with the severity of dementia in a number of studies. [12, 31, 32]
Reductions of blood flow and oxygen use can be found in the temporal and parietal neocortex in patients with Alzheimer disease and moderate to severe symptoms. [16] Early reductions of glucose metabolism are seen in the posterior cingulate cortex.
SPECT scanning is not commonly used to assess Alzheimer disease. SPECT scanning is useful in the diagnostic assessment of Alzheimer disease if standardized and semiquantitative techniques are used.
Trollor et al examined 18 patients with early Alzheimer disease and 10 healthy, elderly control subjects with high-resolution SPECT scanning during their performance of a simple word-discrimination task and observed a gradation of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) values in both groups. The lowest values were in the hippocampus and the highest in the striatum, thalamus, and cerebellum. In the study, SPECT images were coregistered with individual MRI scans, allowing for the delineation of predetermined neuroanatomic regions of interest (ROI). [17]
Compared with healthy control subjects, patients with Alzheimer disease had low relative rCBF in the parietal and prefrontal cortices. Analysis of individual the ROI demonstrated bilateral reduction of rCBF in the prefrontal poles and posterior temporal and anterior parietal cortex, with unilateral reduction of rCBF in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, right posterior parietal cortex, and left cingulate body. No significant differences in hippocampal, occipital, or basal ganglia rCBF were found. Discriminant function analysis indicated that rCBF in the prefrontal polar regions permitted the best classification. [17]
In class II studies, the sensitivity of SPECT scanning was lower than that of the clinical diagnosis. [33] Sensitivity increased as the severity of dementia worsened, but the pretest probability of Alzheimer disease increased as well. [34]
The added value of SPECT scanning was greatest for a positive test among patients with mild dementia in whom the diagnosis of Alzheimer disease was substantially doubted. [35] In this situation, a positive SPECT scan result would have increased the posttest probability of Alzheimer disease by 30%, whereas a negative test result would have increased the likelihood of the absence of Alzheimer disease by only 10%. [36]
Degree of confidence
Without surprise, clinically validated SPECT scan studies showing differences between patients with Alzheimer disease (Alzheimer's disease) and control subjects reveal high sensitivities and specificities of 80-90%. [36]
In one study, investigators compared patients from a dementia clinic with a community sample of control subjects using quantitative SPECT scanning and reported a 63% sensitivity and an 87% specificity. Alzheimer disease was defined in the study as temporal-lobe perfusion more than 2 standard deviations below control values.
Holman et al found that bilateral temporoparietal hypoperfusion had a positive predictive value of 82% for Alzheimer disease. [37] Using inhaled xenon-133 (133 Xe) and injected technetium-99m [99m Tc]hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime, researchers reported a sensitivity of 76% and a specificity of 73%, with a positive predictive value of 92% and a negative predictive value of 57%. [38] These studies may assist in the early and late diagnosis of Alzheimer disease and with the differential diagnosis of dementias.
PET Scanning
PET scanning is a powerful imaging technique that enables in vivo examination of brain functions. It allows for noninvasive quantification of cerebral blood flow, metabolism, and receptor binding. PET scanning helps in understanding the disease's pathogenesis, making the correct diagnosis, and monitoring the disease's progression and response to treatment. [39, 40]
PET scanning involves the introduction of a radioactive tracer into the human body, usually with an intravenous injection. A tracer is essentially a biologic compound of interest that is labeled with a positron-emitting isotope, such as carbon-11 (11C), fluorine-18 (18F), or oxygen-15 (15O). These isotopes are used because they have relatively short half-lives (from minutes to <2 hr), allowing the tracers to reach equilibrium in the body without exposing the subjects to prolonged radiation. [9, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50]
The 2 most common physiologic process measurements performed using PET scanning are glucose with [18F] FDG and cerebral blood flow using water. [27]
FDG-PET has been used extensively to study Alzheimer disease, and it is evolving into an effective tool for early diagnosis and for differentiation of Alzheimer disease from other types of dementia. FDG-PET has been used to detect persons at risk for Alzheimer disease even before the onset of symptoms. [51]
Patients with Alzheimer disease have characteristic temporoparietal glucose hypometabolism, the degree of which is correlated with the severity of dementia. [52] (Temporal and parietal glucose hypometabolism is widely seen on PET images in patients with Alzheimer disease.) With disease progression, frontal involvement may be evident. Glucose hypometabolism in Alzheimer disease is likely to be caused by a combination of neuronal cell loss and decreased synaptic activity. [53]
In control subjects, entorhinal cortex hypometabolism on FDG-PET has predictive value in the progression of dementia to MCI or, even, to Alzheimer disease. [54, 55] The identification of asymptomatic individuals at risk will have an enormous role in the treatment strategy for Alzheimer disease. [41] Individuals at high risk for Alzheimer disease (asymptomatic carriers of the APOE*E4 allele) exhibit a pattern of glucose hypometabolism similar to that of patients with Alzheimer disease. After a mean follow-up of 2 years, the cortical metabolic abnormality continues to decline despite preservation of cognitive performance. [56, 55]
In patients with Alzheimer disease, PET performed with ligand PK11195 labeled with11C, or (R)-[11C] PK11195, showed increased binding in the entorhinal, temporoparietal, and cingulate cortices. This finding corresponded to the postmortem distribution of Alzheimer disease pathology. [57]
Degree of confidence
Despite the technical differences, results from PET and SPECT scanning are comparable, although data suggest that PET scanning is more sensitive than SPECT scanning. [58] On PET or SPECT scanning, mild Alzheimer disease may be more difficult to detect than moderate or severe disease. In Alzheimer disease, FDG-PET has a sensitivity of 94% and a specificity of 73%. It can also be used to correctly predict a progressive course of dementia with a 91% sensitivity and a nonprogressive course with a 75% specificity. [59] Efforts to develop a specific ligand for Aß plaques may further enhance the sensitivity of PET scanning for early diagnosis of Alzheimer disease and may provide a biologic marker of disease progression. [57]
In their study, Boxer et al reported that different amyloid-binding PET scan agents—Pittsburgh Compound-B and FDDNP—may have differential sensitivity to prion-related brain pathology and that a combination of amyloid imaging agents may be useful in the diagnosis of early onset dementia. [60]
Florbetapir F-18 (AMYViD) was approved by the FDA in April 2012 as a diagnostic imaging agent. It is indicated for PET brain imaging of beta-amyloid neuritic plagues in adults being evaluated for Alzheimer disease or other cognitive decline.
Approval for florbetapir F-18 was based on 3 clinical studies that examined images from healthy adult patients as well as patients with a range of cognitive disorders, including some terminally ill patients who had agreed to participate in a postmortem brain donation program. Measurements from postmortem cortical amyloid burden correlated with median florbetapir F 18 scores (r=0.78; P< 0.0001). [42]
In a study by Clark et al, the presence and density of beta amyloid correlated closely in individuals who had florbetapir-PET imaging within 99 days before death and then upon autopsy. [43] Patients with probably Alzheimer disease, mild cognitive impairment, or older healthy controls showed significantly different mean cortical florbetapir uptake value ratios in a study by Fleisher et al. [44]
In October 2013, the FDA approved the a second 18F-labeled Pittsburgh compound B (PIB) derivative, flutemetamol F18 injection (Vizamyl), for use with PET brain imaging in adults undergoing evaluation for Alzheimer disease and dementia. Like florbetapir F18, flutemetamol F18 attaches to beta-amyloid in the brain and produces a PET image that can be used to assess its presence. A positive scan indicates there is likely a moderate or greater amount of amyloid in the brain, but it does not establish a diagnosis of Alzheimer disease or other dementia. The effectiveness of flutemetamol F18 was established in 2 clinical studies with 384 participants who had a range of cognitive function. [45]
A third agent, florbetaben F-18 (Neuraceq), was approved by the FDA in March 2014. Images may be obtained between 45-130 minutes following the injected dose. FDA approval was based on safety data from 872 patients who participated in global clinical trials as well as 3 studies that examined images from adults with a range of cognitive function, including 205 end-of-life patients who had agreed to participate in a post-mortem brain donation program. Images were analyzed from 82 subjects with post-mortem confirmation of the presence or absence of beta-amyloid neuritic plaques. [46]
Fluorine-18 AV1451 study results have shown that pathological aggregation of tau is closely linked to patterns of neurodegeneration and clinical manifestations of Alzheimer disease, in contrast to the more diffuse distribution of amyloid-β pathology. [50]

H-Town is becoming better known as OSU town.
Oklahoma State has snagged a major commitment for the Class of 2005 from Houston Booker T. Washington receiver Jeremy Broadway. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound Broadway is one of the best receivers in the Lone Star State and he turned down 13 other scholarship offers to head to Stillwater.
"OSU was in my heart," Broadway, who camped at OSU this past weekend, said. "I went ahead and committed to them after spending the whole weekend up there. When I went up there I didn't see a thing that I didn't like. I loved everything about the school, the campus and the town."
Broadway, who clocked a 4.42-second time in the 40-yard dash at OSU, turned down scholarship offers from Syracuse, Arizona, Kansas, Kansas State, Utah, Houston, Texas Tech, Tulane, Wisconsin, Missouri to commit to the Cowboys. He also cited a close friendship with former Galena Park (Texas) North Shore quarterback Bobby Reid as a big reason for picking OSU.
"He and Stephen (James) showed me around all weekend," Broadway said. "They showed me the ropes. Coming from the same situation as me and them being from Houston, I felt right at home. They also talked about how the coaches would take care of you and make sure that you're not going to get into a bad situation."
Broadway had 30 receptions for 620 yards and nine scores as a junior. He has a 3.0 grade point average and a 740 on the SAT.

The main conflicts of this novel include Kit's struggle to deal with her new home in New England, aconflict between the Puritan settlers and a Quaker woman they believe to be a witch (as they will soon accuse Kit of being), and then a second external conflict between the colonists who desire freedom from the English crown and the loyalists who are in allegiance to King James. In the end, Kit finds a new life with someone who accepts her wholeheartedly, the accused Quaker woman is rescued and Kit is found innocent of witchcraft, and colonists are able to keep their charter, which preserves their independence from England.

Hi Jean , I have been away at sea and have not been able to respond to your message's.
You wrote: 2. Do you have a listing of the children of the couple believed to be the possible parents of Thomas King ( born July 11, 1851 in Broad Cove, N.F. ): William King and Mary ( maiden name unknown )? William King was listed as a sailor or seaman.
answer: There were two (William Kings) that married a Mary Moores and a Mary Ann King. One marriage took place in 1839 and the other 1846. It will take some time to seperate the birth records for these two couples for there children. They were both Williams were planters fishermen of Broad Cove.

text: Today, I'm really enjoying these "flower constructions" from artist, Anne ten Donkelaar. She had some other more vibrant constructions, but I was so struck by these more minimalist compositions. With flowers, it is so easy to focus on their color, but these really highlight shapes and patterns. Ms. Donkelaar's work is created from actual found objects from nature, photos, maps and other paper materials. I'm so stunned by their intricacy. Check out her website for her other types of constructions — all show such an admiration and understanding of nature, and the melding of nature with our lives.

Santiniketan, Oct. 3: An antique thief's confession in Siliguri has led to realisation that a 750-year-old manuscript worth over Rs 2 crore in the black market is in the possession of Visva-Bharati University.
Six months after Rabindranath Tagore's Nobel medal and other memorabilia were stolen from the Rabindra Bhavan Museum here, efforts are underway to take the manuscript out of the Indo-Tibetan department and place it in the memorial museum, which now has a more stringent security system in place.
On a nationwide hunt to locate Tagore's medallion, the CBI recently arrested a couple in Siliguri trying to sell an old Buddhist manuscript along with some antiques. During interrogation, they said they were aware of the 'priceless' manuscript in Santiniketan.
The CBI immediately informed the university authorities, who went into a tizzy. 'That a couple in Siliguri is aware that a manuscript (in Santiniketan) is priceless makes it clear that antique smugglers had set their eyes on it,' a senior CBI official said.
The manuscript seized in Siliguri had a gold-plated cover similar to the one here.
Titled Prajna Paramita, meaning perfection in knowledge, it is one of six Buddhist holy texts. About 750 years old, it runs into 1,000 pages and has been in the Indo-Tibetan department for the past nine years.
'My friend Bimalendra Kumar and myself bought the manuscript from a Lama in Kalimpong for Rs 3,000 nine years ago and kept it in the library for the sake of students of Tibetan culture,' said Naren Dash, the head of the Indo-Tibetan department.
After the arrest in Siliguri came to light, Dash got in touch with the Visva-Bharati authorities with a request to move the manuscript from the departmental library to ensure safe custody.
He said: 'When I came to know about the market value of the manuscript, I thought only Rabindra Bhavan could provide adequate security.'
A university official said the first page of Prajna Paramita is scribbled with liquid gold ink. The manuscript was taken out of the library yesterday and will be kept in a 'safe place' till the formalities to shift it to the museum are completed.
The Indo-Tibetan department has over 6,000 manuscripts and several Mongolian paintings. Many of the manuscripts have historical significance.
Vice-chancellor Sujit Basu assured the Dalai Lama during a programme in Calcutta recently that a manuscript centre will soon be set up to ensure their upkeep.
The ministry of culture is said to be working on the proposal to set up the centre.
Sunil Sarkar, the registrar, today said: 'We are also digitising valuable manuscripts for preservation.'

We went fishing on Friday, the weather was nice about 58 degrees and a little windy. We caught a number of fish and some with some size. we had one rainbow at about 3 pounds. We found a honey hole on the way back, but we were already preparing to quit. Caaught a few there and broke off as I was releasing a fish, so I decided to quit. With the light color spots in the gravel bottom of the river, it is apparent the rainbows are starting to spawn.
