Keratin Complex Infusion
The Coppola Keratin Complex Infusion in a leave-in styling treatment that
provides intense penetration to heal and smooth hair. The infusion opens the
hair cuticles to deliver keratin proteins into the hair shaft. Hair drying,
straightening or other heat styling seals the cuticle closed on top of the
infusion, creating stronger, smoother, more resilient hair. You'll see the shine
and feel the repair.
The result is noticeably healthier, softer, stronger hair.
What's the buzz about keratin? Keratin protein occurs naturally in hair. Keratin treatments are an exceptional process that effectively straightens even the coarsest, curliest hair. Products that contain keratin give many of the same effects of a treatment, to a lesser degree (shine, straightness, smoothness and reduced frizz).
- Opens the hair cuticle to effectively deliver nourishing keratin proteins
- Repairs and revitalizes hair
- Seals in nutrients and moisture during heat styling
- Leaves hair noticeably smoother
- Eliminates frizz
- Softens
- Adds shine
- Formaldehyde free
Apply to clean, towel dried hair. Put a small amount in your palms and pull
gently through your hair. To guarantee an even distribution, we recommend using
a comb. Wait 20 minutes before drying, flat ironing or curling.
After applying the treatment, pile your hair up on your head and then wrap in a towel or shower cap. This will keep hair warm, which will help the infusion absorb. For an even deeper treatment, use a hair dryer (at a safe distance!) to heat your hair through the towel or shower cap.

For as long as anyone can remember, athletes have wanted to be actors or musicians and vice-versa. Today we celebrate all those baseball players who took their shot in the TV/Movie business. Here are my Top 5 appearances in TV shows or movies by baseball players:
Players Featured: Roger Clemens, Wade Boggs, Ken Griffey, Jr., Steve Sax, Ozzie Smith, José Canseco, Don Mattingly, Darryl Strawberry and Mike Scioscia
If you were to ask a "Simpsons" fan the question: what is the best episode ever? The majority of them would answer "Homer at the Bat." The 1992 episode of the classic cartoon features nine MLB players, each of whom have funny scenes throughout the episode. From Bart heckling Darryl Strawberry from the stands to Mr. Burns yelling at Don Mattingly to shave his sideburns, this is definitely the best example of MLB cameos.

There is no hotter topic in sports right now than the circus that is surrounding Alex Rodriguez. From his appeal of the 211 game suspension that he was handed by Major League Baseball to him getting beaned by Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster in this past weekend's game, A-Rod is consistently the lead story on SportsCenter.
Why? Because people really love being entertained.
Sports, not unlike a television show or movie, is infinitely more entertaining when there is a great story-line. As much as MLB wants to punish A-Rod for his involvement with using performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), they would be kidding themselves if they don't think he is main reason for the high ratings that the Yankees-Red Sox games got over the weekend. He is the villain. He is the heel. He is the guy everyone loves to hate. Most importantly, he provides great theater.
While I don't advocate the use of steroids in sports, I just think it's hard to deny that the topic is pretty entertaining to talk and argue about. In fact, I'd definitely say that PEDs kind of make sports more interesting. Hear me out.

On Tuesday, July 16, the best baseball players in the world will all be taking the field in New York for the 2013 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. While the game is the biggest event, it is just one part of a full weekend of festivities that will take place in and around Citi Field next week. From the All-Star FanFest to the Home Run Derby, there is a lot to look forward to. Which one of the events are you MOST excited about?
No one would blame you if you were looking forward to the game itself the most. The best players all on the field at the same time, playing in perhaps the world's most famous city. It's tough to beat that.
One of the most anticipated events every year is the Home Run Derby thanks to countless, unforgettable moments. Some of those memorable moments include Mark McGwire pounding homers over the green monster at Fenway Park in 1999; Josh Hamilton hitting 28 home runs in a single round at Yankee Stadium in 2008; and Sammy Sosa in 2002 hitting baseballs to places never reached at Miller Park.
Derby captains David Wright and Robinson Cano, as well as their teams, will have to bring it if they want to provide the fans with another one of those moments.

With how frequently dog videos get posted here, I don't think it's much of a secret that we love them. They can't help that they're so adorable and smart and funny! So this week, we pay homage to dogs, with a special dog-themed post. Check out dogs giving their masters a warm welcome, a dog playing the best game of fetch ever, and a commercial that will make you want to run out and get a dog of your own.
Soldiers coming home is enough to make anyone emotional. Capturing that on video for everyone to see adds an extra dose of emotion. Add a reunion with beloved pets and some upbeat music into the mix, and suddenly it's just good feelings all around, forever. This compilation video, which surfaced earlier this week, features dogs of all kinds, but my favorite is the huge doggie at the end who's so happy to see his human that he gives him a big ol' hug.

Boylan's debut a success: Bucks 108 – Suns 99
Category: Recaps
"He was aggressive, but he was looking for his teammates," Jim Boylan said of Brandon Jennings after the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Phoenix Suns in his debut as coach. Jennings ended up with 29 points and nine assists.
"He was just playing the game, which is great for him. Just go out there and play the game. It's kind of a simple statement but, shoot when you're open, pass when you're covered. I thought that's what he tried to do tonight. They were getting up into him, they were getting physical and he responded."
It's fun when Jennings "responds" like this. We all love the Jennings that busts out the monocle, the same way we love the Larry Sanders that blocks a shot and then stares in the distance looking for where they ball he just swatted ended up.
Sure, it was just the Phoenix Suns, but it's always fun when the Bucks pour a little swagger on their win.
|Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, PF 25 MIN | 5-11 FG | 0-0 FT | 4 REB | 0 AST | 11 PTS | 0
He'll be getting more and more time at the small forward slot according to Boylan, due to the number of bigs on the roster, but his game doesn't change much. He did hit a three, which is always fun to see. Depending on the lineups he's out there with, he may have to be on the perimeter a bit more, but it won't be drastic so long as he's out there with a more perimeter oriented Ilyasova.
|Ersan Ilyasova, SF 26 MIN | 5-10 FG | 0-0 FT | 6 REB | 4 AST | 12 PTS | -3
Boylan moved Ilyasova into the starting lineup as an attempt to get the team's early offense going and try and keep Ilyasova consistent. He's improved over the past month and Tuesday night's effort was a sound one. The numbers are still a bit low, but he's been steady providing an outside threat that should compliment Jennings and Ellis well if he can keep it consistent.
|Larry Sanders, C 26 MIN | 5-9 FG | 0-1 FT | 8 REB | 1 AST | 10 PTS | -1
Fired up after some physical play from the Suns big men, Sanders had the crowd roaring after a pair of emphatic blocks, an alley-oop dunk and a tip slam that he touched off with an aggressive swing on the rim and gesture towards the Suns bench in the fourth quarter. He had all the energy the Bucks needed once again, as he so often has this season.
|Monta Ellis, PG 40 MIN | 5-19 FG | 2-2 FT | 3 REB | 3 AST | 13 PTS | +2
Ellis certainly wouldn't have minded a foul call on two or three of his attempts, especially early in the third quarter. He was more aggressive than the 19 shots and two free throws would indicate. But he struggled with his jumper and had some bad luck with the officials. It happens.
|Brandon Jennings, PG 37 MIN | 9-15 FG | 6-6 FT | 3 REB | 9 AST | 29 PTS | +4
The Suns aren't a very good defensive team. They're especially bad at letting teams shoot the three well. Jennings torched them from deep all game. He was very in control and was much more assertive once he started having success rather than letting Ellis take over. But most importantly, he was making shots. That's what makes Jennings a very good player, when he's playing like a very good player – made shots.
|John Henson, PF 19 MIN | 4-7 FG | 4-7 FT | 11 REB | 2 AST | 12 PTS | +14
Still in need of refinement offensively, but Henson continues to rebound at a fantastic rate. His offensive rebound with the Bucks up six with four minutes to go was one of pure length and hustle. He was tall enough to tip it over to Sanders and had the heart to attack. That's the kind of play that's gotten him into the rotation and allowed him to be successful.
|Ekpe Udoh, PF 22 MIN | 0-5 FG | 2-2 FT | 6 REB | 2 AST | 2 PTS | +10
Udoh looks no better when he catches the ball today than when he caught the ball last year. I can assume he hasn't made huge strides here since his rookie season. And if he has … yikes. But he needs to be quicker to go up when he catches near the hoop rather than pump fake. Be aggressive, even in your struggles, young man.
|Jim Boylan
Hey! A win! A strong debut against a good team to turn back into a head coach again. The second half, a sore spot for the Bucks of late, was particularly strong, as Milwaukee outscored the Suns 58-43.
Three Things We Saw
- The most important thing we saw was a hint of the rotation Boylan wants to go with through the rest of the season. And the seven guys who weren't Ellis and Jennings played between 19 and 25 minutes. There will still be grumbles about the playing time of Harris and Dalembert, but if he can keep those minutes consistent for that group, he should have a chance to pull some consistency out of an inconsistent group.
- Take a look at the Suns roster. Maybe only two or three of them could even log minutes for the Bucks. That's a testament to how deep the Bucks roster is, but it's also clear that Phoenix isn't very talented. Milwaukee took care of business in the second half after staggering through the first quarter and beginning to come to life in the second.
- Offensively, the Bucks had the cohesion of the group that finished last season. Boylan said after the game his big emphasis was getting everyone involved in spots where they can contribute offensively."We talked about trying to create more of an atmosphere of … team," Boylan said. "I thought our guards did a good job of being aggressive, but at the same time, trying to be distributors too. It's good to see that combination work."Eight different Bucks players made at least four shots and the team had 25 assists. Mission accomplished, Tuesday.
About the Author (Author Profile)Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball. He founded it in January of 2009 because he hated his job. It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task. He isn't sure if this should be in third person or not. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com if you must use e-mail.

Jennings sure is a good player when he's making shots. Goran Dragic is a good player even when he's not making shots.
You must not watch much Goran Dragic
I watch quite a bit of Goran Dragic.
Perhaps you need your eyes checked then
Perhaps you dont have NBA league pass and are unable to watch him work with that God awful roster. Hell of a passer, great in transition, good with shot selection, and decent on D. He's not going to put up many 30 point games but he's also not going to shoot you out of games. he's a good pure pg and would be great on a roster with some stars to distribute to.
Goran Dragic is good on a regular basis, Brandon Jennings is either fantastic or dreadful and occasionally something in between.
And actually if you check the statistics Dragic is better in pretty most relevant categories despite playing with a pretty poor supporting cast: PER, TS%, Assist ratio….
A bit of a shaky start, but a very entertaining game for the home fans. Larry hanging from the basket was a bit over the top, but Scola was rubbing his big hand on Larry's face on that play. Glad he got away with it, but probably shouldn't try that move again.
Larry & BJ came out with the swag last night. You think these two want to be the future of the Bucks? Fun to see.
Go Bucks!
ive noticed that udoh literally never passes when he gets the ball anywhere near the paint its annoying to watch
Same for LRM. Neither of them seem to be aware of anything but the hoop when in the paint and often force awkward shots. Result: a rather mediocre shooting % for both. Very annoying. Henson to the rescue, please.
that possession where luc was supposed to pass to a guard towards the end of game and kept dribbling back and forth for a solid 10 seconds than threw up the shot and got lucky was defiantly a face palm moment
It's funny, but it's like i knew that all along, but didn't realize it until the moment I read your post. Frustrating. I play with some guys that are the same way.

Breast Cancer Awareness: Advice From Survivors
ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) - This year, more than 200,000 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. Once diagnosed, their lives will change forever. However, some breast cancer survivors are willing to share their secrets in order to minimize the fear and isolation of cancer.
The fear, the dread, the panic, all of the emotions that follow a diagnosis of breast cancer can overwhelm the toughest of women.
"I was fine," Lisa Crites told Ivanhoe.
"I thought, 'this is it, I'm probably going to die now,'" Sherry Palmer told Ivanhoe.
"I'll be okay. I was like as long as it's me and not my mom and dad," Jennifer Batchellor told Ivanhoe.
It's not just the emotions; there are the doctors' appointments, the treatment options, and the side-effect, all of which can be a lot to digest.
"The physicians are so busy keeping you alive; they miss the pragmatic pieces of advice," Lisa said.
So, in order to get the pragmatic advice they needed, breast cancer survivors Lisa Crites, Sherry Palmer, and Jennifer Batchellor joined a support group called breast friends.
Their first piece of advice, "I did a lot of physical therapy where you literally walk your hands up and down the wall," Lisa said.
For Lisa, doing that for a couple weeks built up her strength. Sherry Palmer says surgeons will tell you to sleep in the recliner after surgery.
"You sleep in the recliner. When you're sick, you want to be in your own bed," Sherry explained.
So instead, use a wedge pillow.
"It helps with healing. It helps with swelling. It helps with drainage," Sherry said.
Jennifer Batchellor said that she learned to go out and enjoy the few good days she did have.
"Really take the time to get up, leave the house, go to the mall with your mom, or see a movie with a friend," Jennifer said.
However, most important thing these ladies say to remember, "people, patients, have got to be psychologically accepting of the choices they make," Lisa said.
Although cancer patients have long benefited from support groups, they may still have trouble talking about their experiences. Online intervention tools may be a different option.
In a study from the University of California at Los Angeles, researchers found that women with breast cancer who created websites as a way to cope with the disease, reported feeling less depressed, more positive, and having a greater appreciation for life.
BREAST CANCER: The most common cancer and second most common cancer leading to death is breast cancer. This typically aggressive cancer usually develops in women who have a family history of breast cancer or who carry the BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 gene. Women over the age of 50 are the most common to develop breast cancer, but some women have developed the cancer between ages 39-49. (Source: www.WebMD.com)
SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT: Some of the more common symptoms can include:
- a lump in the breast or armpit
- pain in breast
- discharge from nipple
- changes in size
Most treatments are done with surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and biological therapy to destroy the cancer and prevent it from returning. (Source: www.WebMD.com)
SUPPORT: With all of the stress and anxiety that breast cancer patients undergo, it is vital that they receive support not only from family and friends, but from outside resources as well. Support groups offer relief to those who are starting to feel the effects from depression and they bring hope to patients. A support group's focus may vary from informational to emotional, but they have the same goal: to lend a hand and make women and men feel comfortable about their current situation. There are 24/7 hotlines and even online support groups where men and women can log into their account and chat with survivors, doctors, and other patients. (Source:www.Komen.org)
BREAST FRIENDS: Breast Friends is one support group that helps women with breast cancer. It is a nonprofit organization that teaches friends and family specific ways to offer support and help them understand what their loved one is going through. In 2004, Breast Friends received its first grant from Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. Komen partnered with Breast Friends in 2005, inviting them to chair their Co-Survivor Initiative in Oregon at Race for the Cure, a position Breast Friends held for over five years. It was founded in 2000 in Oregon and now has two other affiliates, one in Florida and one in Pennsylvania. (Source:http://www.breastfriends.org/about-us/)

What is it supposed to include?
- a dictaphone (i.e. voicenotes)
- disk mode storage (like all the ipods -- should have been there from the beginning)
- The normal array of anti modder updates setting everyone back for a week and just cause a headache.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!! I accidently upgraded to 1.1.3 and my software is now running vista. Can someone help..........oh wait I got ahead of myself, but I can't wait for the posts to start piling in!
there is a reason i called this thread rumor wagon rolls out . . . .
We'll be fine! Updates will be available for years. Apple's good at that. Just the other day there was an update for my iPod video.
Not a premonition - I believe there is a thread from GeoHot saying they need the next baseband to unlock the current one. Hopefully 1.1.3 includes a new baseband for those that need to unlock.
ho hum...a whole lot more of nuthin' again it seems
Sounds cool but all these threads are going to be popping up saying "help accidentaly upgraded to 1.1.3"
Yes disk storage!! wooo!
There goes the app Mobile Voice notes.
lol. I think Apple are starting to use the 3rd party apps as the bases for new phone features.
I wish they'd update the iphone with better updates tho.
Can't wait for Video...it better come to the iphone, or i'll cry.
Maybe some nice digital zoom.
hahaha halarious last bullet hahaha
Good news, hopefully copy/paste is just around the corner.
seriously what about MMS and VIDEO those are the two things I've seen most oj this forum
Sorry noob here. What would disk mode storage do? Everyone is salivating over it and I want to also
How about x64 windows support? Is it that hard? iChat, MMS, or just copy/paste, ability to send out sms to multiple recipients and sms phone numbers from contacts? i.e. basic mobile phone features. I like my iPhone, but apples support just makes me mad.
Voice notes? Who cares...
please can someone explain the disk mode storage in a simple definition? Help much appreciates
And when you click "My Computer" in the window you will have an Extra Drive called "Apple Iphone"
Then you can drag and drop any file you like onto the iphone and use the iphone as a storage disk.
Pretty Handy =)

William H. Macy bashes One Direction
William H. Macy is a beloved thespian, husband to Felicity Huffman and generally seems like a Hollywood mensch. However, he's also the father to two tween daughters, and his good nature has its limits: Like dads everywhere, One Direction drives him up the freaking wall.
The "Shameless" star visited "Live with Kelly and Michael," where he revealed his distaste for the boy band. "[My 13-year-old] Sophia is crazy about One Direction, and she has this life-sized cutout of Harry Styles in her room," he said. "It scares the crap out of me."
A recent concert did little to change his opinion. "I've been in showbiz all my life," he said, "So, let me just say, those guys can sing. They're very talented. They couldn't put on a good show with a gun to their head."
He didn't care for their choreography (marching back and forth), their costumes (several different sets of jeans and T-shirts) or their showmanship (Styles ate a sandwich onstage.)
"I mean, call me old-fashioned, but when I'm downstage singing my heart out, you better not eat a sandwich behind me," Macy said.
Pah! I'd like to see William H. Macy do better. No, really, I would very much like to see that. If I could watch a boy band consisting of five William H. Macys, I'm not sure I would need anything else from life.
And by the way, WHM, count your blessings that you were at a show where the audience saw a sandwich going into Harry Styles, not coming out.

Michelle Phan - Quick Tips: Foundation Application
This is a great video showing the results of different ways of applying foundation. She uses a lemon as an example, since the pores of a lemon and our face's pores are very similar. She comes to the conclusion that the best way to apply is with a brush.
I use BB cream or tinted moisturizer everyday, but I always use my fingers. I used a brush today instead (because of this video) and didn't see much of a difference, although it's probably because BB creams and the such tend to be more forgiving than liquid foundation.
An important thing to take away from this video is that, even though Michelle is showing a great reason to use a brush for foundation, it's important that you put on and wear make up in a way that's comfortable for you! Regardless of what kind of advice make up gurus give, remember that it's just advice and there's nothing wrong with doing it your own way.

Certainly there are quite a few positions represented in the student body, but I've noticed a general pattern in the beliefs of my peers, a popular belief system that comes up again and again. Though St. Olaf is a "college of the Church," the pervasive view isn't Christian, or even very religious. Instead it's a sort of optimized amalgam: a one-size-fits-all combination of modern relativism and plain old fashioned "niceness," with a dash of Lutheranism for flavor.
Ive come to have a deep appreciation of this worldview. It is finely crafted and provides an ideal, low-effort belief system for those who adhere to it. On one hand, it takes a strong relativistic stance on morals: what is wrong or right is a matter of personal decision. Sexual behavior is a perfect example of a topic strictly guarded from any moral imposition. People are free from external moral standards in taking actions and any attempt to interject such standards is coldly met.
But, on the other hand sits the clear conviction that certain things are bad and others good.
A combination of inbred Minnesota niceness and leftover bits of Lutheran ethos provide the basis for an extensive system of these goods and bads. Mother Theresa is, to Lutherans, so obviously good that it is never questioned; and, in the same way, Nazi atrocities and slavery are considered unquestionably bad even evil. Perhaps at some point there was more to all this than just a general sense of the nice, but why hold onto anachronisms like that when they may get in the way?
The true brilliance of this view lies in the combining of two seemingly contradictory positions. One ensures moral protection for ones own actions: how could you tell a person they are in the wrong when wrong and right are subjective? The other protects against the logical outcome of the first, making certain that bigotry and genocide dont become relative personal decisions as well.
The result is a system in which you are protected from any ethical judgment on yourself and yet can still pass such on others a very convenient doctrine. It is the ideal union of two diametric opposites, a way to have the best of both worlds ... and the costs of neither: mores without morals relativism without unpleasantness.
In fact, these opposing ideas has been carried out so well that it is comfortably invisible to many people. This is good, since the tension of contradiction would certainly detract from the otherwise attractive makeup of this dogma. But, as things stand, even if some disagreeable person tries to draw out the natural contradiction of these two tenets, they are so inextricably melded in the minds of many that the questioner is frustrated in his or her attempt and often earns some animosity for himself or herself in the process (Who likes a person so absorbed with logic that he or she cannot properly respect belief?).
In the end then, the students who have taken this stance must be lauded for choosing to believe as they do. What could be better than a system so constructed that it is both unfailingly nice, personally unrestrictive and immune from the perils of overzealous reasoning?
This system is unparalleled in many ways. Former generations may have been too hidebound by structured thought or too loyal to closely held theologies to accept such a system; but for us, the enlightened children of this modern era, it is a fitting doctrine.

Westbound lanes of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway have been reopened, but traffic is being directed into construction lanes and is moving slowly as state troopers investigate two crashes that injured seven people Tuesday.
The crashes, both involving semi trucks, happened on the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) between about 11:36 a.m. and 11:40 a.m. between Harmony Road and the Marengo Toll Plaza.
Hampshire Fire Protection District Deputy Chief Trevor said the first crash involved three semi trucks and a utility truck. He said one person was trapped in the wreckage of one of the semis for 48 minutes before being extricated and taken to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center in Rockford. His or her condition was not available.
Three other people were treated for injuries at the scene, Herrmann said.
The other crash occurred just minutes later three-quarters of a mile to the east as traffic backed up from the first crash, and it involved a semi and two cars. Two people were taken to Presence Saint Joseph Hospital in Elgin with what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries while a third was treated at the scene, Herrmann said.
Both crash locations are construction zones as workers expand I-90 in that area from four lanes to six lanes.
Hampshire ambulance crews were assisted by ambulances from the Burlington, Pingree Grove and Boone County fire districts.

KHQ.COM - The FBI rescued more than a hundred children Monday in a nationwide sting against child sex trafficking. More than 150 alleged traffickers are behind bars. The Child Exploitation Task Force (CETF) carried out Operation Cross Country in 76 cities, including the Seattle area.
The FBI says young adults and even three child victims were rescued on the west side of the state. CETF arrested nine people in the Seattle area that they believe forced victims into prostitution.
Young people in the Inland Northwest have also fallen victim to human trafficking. In May of 2012, four people were arrested when a woman accused them of holding her captive. She claimed they sold her for sex and forced her to make methamphetamine.
CETF says at risk youth are especially vulnerable to human trafficking. It says children between 13 and 16 years old are especially susceptible. They are often foster children or runaways with no concerned family members looking for them.
CETF says traffickers use manipulation and threats to control their victims, even forced drug use.
Polaris Project is dedicated to stopping human trafficking. It lists resources and help hotlines on it's website. To look at resources in Washington state click here: http://www.polarisproject.org/state-map/washington

|This article may be confusing or unclear to readers. In particular, This article is part overview of all forms of vascular dementia, and part overview of multi-infarct dementia.. (March 2012)
|Vascular dementia
|Classification and external resources
|med/3150 neuro/227
Vascular dementia or "multi-infarct dementia" is dementia caused by problems in the supply of blood to the brain, typically by a series of minor strokes. Vascular dementia is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer's disease (AD) in older adults.[1][2] Multi-infarct dementia (MID) is thought to be an irreversible form of dementia, and its onset is caused by a number of small strokes or, sometimes, one large stroke preceded or followed by other smaller strokes.[3] The term refers to a group of syndromes caused by different mechanisms all resulting in vascular lesions in the brain. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are important, as vascular dementia is at least partially preventable.
The main subtypes of this disease are: mild cognitive impairment, multi-infarct dementia, vascular dementia due to a strategic single infarct (affecting the thalamus, the anterior cerebral artery, the parietal lobes or the cingulate gyrus), vascular dementia due to hemorrhagic lesions, and mixed Alzheimer's and vascular dementia.
Vascular lesions can be the result of diffuse cerebrovascular disease, such as small vessel disease, or focal lesions; usually both. Mixed dementia is diagnosed when patients have evidence of AD and cerebrovascular disease, either clinically or based on neuroimaging evidence of ischemic lesions. In fact vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease often coexist, especially in older patients with dementia.
MID is sometimes triggered by cerebral amyloid angiopathy, which involves accumulation of beta amyloid plaques in the walls of the cerebral arteries, leading to breakdown and rupture of the vessels. Since amyloid plaques are a characteristic feature of AD, vascular dementia may occur as a side effect of it. However, cerebral amyloid angiopathy can also appear in people with no prior dementia condition and a small amount of beta amyloid plaques are often present in cognitively normal older persons.
Multi-infarct dementia and Alzheimer's disease, despite the fact that the two organic disorders have different causes, can be almost impossible to tell apart clinically and are often misdiagnosed.[4] Patients suffering from vascular dementia present with cognitive impairment, acutely or subacutely, after an acute cerebrovascular event. After the onset a stepwise progression is typical.
In small vessel disease the incidence peaks between the 4th and the 7th decades of life and 80% will have a history of hypertension. Patients develop progressive cognitive, motor and behavioral signs and symptoms. A significant proportion of them also develop affective symptoms. These changes occur over a period of 5–10 years. If the frontal lobes are affected, which is often the case, patients may present as apathetic or abulic. This is often accompanied by problems with attention, orientation and urinary incontinence.
As already stated, small vessel disease and focal lesions often overlap, so these two patterns may be evident in the same individual concurrently. Although atheroma of the major cerebral arteries is typical in MID, the condition mainly affects smaller vessels and arterioles.
Rare genetic disorders which result in vascular lesions in the brain have other patterns of presentation. As a rule of thumb they tend to present earlier in life and have a more aggressive course. In addition, infectious disorders such as syphilis lead to artery damage and strokes along with bacterial inflammation of the brain.
Several specific diagnostic criteria can be used to diagnose vascular dementia,[5] including the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) criteria, the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Edition (ICD-10) criteria, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke- Association Internationale pour la Recherche et l'Enseignement en Neurosciences (NINDS-AIREN) criteria,[6] the Alzheimer's Disease Diagnostic and Treatment Center criteria, and the Hachinski ischemic score.[7]
Lateralizing signs such as hemiparesis, bradykinesia, hyperreflexia, extensor plantar reflexes, ataxia, pseudobulbar palsy, and gait and swallowing difficulties may be observed.
Signs may include cognitive decline from a previously higher level of functioning; impairment of memory and two or more other cognitive areas; sufficient severity as to interfere with activities of daily living; cerebrovascular disease is present, defined by the presence of focal neurologic signs (e.g., hemiparesis, sensory deficit, hemianopsia, Babinski sign, etc.); evidence of relevant features consistent with cerebrovascular disease on brain imaging (CT or MRI).[8]
In terms of cognitive testing patients have patchy deficits. They tend to have better free recall and fewer recall intrusions compared with patients with Alzheimer's disease. As small vessel disease often affects the frontal lobes, apathy early in the disease is more suggestive of vascular dementia because it usually occurs in the later stages of Alzheimer's. Consequently patients with vascular dementia perform worse than their Alzheimer's disease counterparts in frontal lobe tasks such as verbal fluency. They also tend to exhibit more perseverative behavior. They may also present with general slowing of processing ability, difficulty shifting sets and impairment in abstract thinking. In the more severe patients, or those patients affected by strategic infarcts in the Wernicke or Broca areas, dysarthrias and aphasias may be present.
The recommended investigations for cognitive impairment should be carried out, including a dementia screening blood test, chest X-Ray, ECG, and some type of neuroimaging, preferably a scan with a functional or metabolic sensitivity beyond simple CT or MRI. When available as a diagnostic tool, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) neuroimaging may be used to confirm a diagnosis of multi-infarct dementia in conjunction with evaluations involving mental status examination.[9] In a person already having dementia, SPECT appears to be superior in differentiating multi-infarct dementia from Alzheimer's disease, as compared with the usual attempts to differentiate the dementing processes by employing mental testing and medical history analysis.[10] Advances have led to the proposal of new diagnostic criteria.[11][12]
The screening blood test would typically include full blood count, liver function tests, thyroid function tests, lipid profile, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C reactive protein, syphilis serology, calcium serum level, fasting glucose, urea and electrolytes, vitamin B-12, folate. In selected patients HIV serology and autoantibody testing may be done.
Gross examination of the brain may reveal noticeable lesions and artery damage. Accumulation of various substances such as lipid deposits and clotted blood appear on microscopic views. The white matter is most affected, with noticeable atrophy and tissue loss, in addition to calcification of the arteries. Microinfarcts may also be present in the gray matter (cerebral cortex), sometimes in large numbers. On rare occasion, infarcts in the hippocampus or thalamus are the cause of dementia.[13]
Risk factors for vascular dementia include age, hypertension, smoking, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease.
Other risk factors include geographic origin, genetic predisposition, and prior strokes. Further strokes must be prevented through surgical or medical therapy to lessen the chance of developing Multi-Infarct Dementia.[14]
The goal of the management is the prevention of further cerebrovascular lesions. This includes administering antiplatelet drugs and controlling major vascular risk factors such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, smoking and diabetes mellitus.
The general management of dementia includes referral to community services, judgment and decision-making regarding legal and ethical issues (e.g., driving, capacity, advance directives), and consideration of caregiver stress.
Cholinesterase inhibitors such as galantamine have shown to be helpful in various randomized controlled trials. However their use is not licensed yet for this indication.
Behavioral and affective symptoms are particularly important in this patient group and deserve special consideration. These problems, if they develop, tend to be resistant to conventional psychopharmacological treatment and in many cases lead to hospital admission and placement in permanent care.
The 5-year survival rate is 39% for patients with vascular dementia compared with 75% for age-matched controls. Unlike Alzheimer's Disease, which merely weakens the victim to the point where he succumbs to bacterial infections like pneumonia, vascular dementia is a direct cause of death due to the possibility of a fatal interruption in the brain's blood supply.
The prognosis for MID is usually not very promising. Symptoms may begin suddenly with the onset of the disease and steadily become more prevalent with each progressive small stroke. Even though it may seem that people with MID improve over time, their condition often steadily declines after ensuing silent strokes. A rapidly deteriorating condition may lead to death from a stroke, heart disease, or infection.[15]
Vascular dementia is the second most common type of dementia in the United States and Europe in the elderly, but it is the most common form in some parts of Asia. The prevalence of the illness is 1.5% in Western countries and approximately 2.2% in Japan. It accounts for 50% of all dementias in Japan, 20% to 40% in Europe and 15% in Latin America. The incidence of dementia is 9 times higher in patients who have had a stroke than in controls. 25% of stroke patients develop new-onset dementia within 1 year of their stroke. The relative risk of incident dementia is 5.5% within 4 years of suffering a stroke.
One study found that in the United States specifically, the prevalence of vascular dementia in all individuals over the age of 71 is 2.43%, and another found that the prevalence of the dementias doubles with every 5.1 years of age.[16][17]

What are movie critics good for, anyway?
They don't actually make anything. Worse, they judge what other people make, which sounds like the easiest and most parasitic job in the world until you sit down and try to do it responsibly — by which I mean knowledgeably and fairly, honest about your own biases as well as the objects you're seeing through them.

Often in times of emergency or during a hospital stay, family and friends cannot always be physically present at the hospital bedside to comfort their loved one. We know that the patient feels better if family and friends are accessible and in touch. Virtual Visiting is a free service designed to fulfill this need.
The Virtual Visiting program at Holy Cross Hospital uses today's technology to provide live "virtual visits." This allows patients to be in contact with family and friends who are unable to visit or may be separated by distance - keeping friends and families linked across miles and generations.
Virtual Visiting provides real-time viewing of the patient and allows the ability to speak simultaneously over the internet. Friends and family members only need a computer and internet connection.
This is a complimentary service offered free to senior patients at Holy Cross Hospital. A virtual visit can be requested by the patient, a loved one or a member of the care team.
Virtual visitors can communicate with their loved ones who are patients at Holy Cross Hospital. Patients can share the progress being made and provide updates on treatment. Virtual Visiting gives patients and their loved ones peace of mind by improving communication within the family circle and helping to coordinate efforts to improve outcomes.
All virtual visits are confidential and thus compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
How it Works Virtual Visiting is simple to implement, needing only a computer and internet access. Relatives and friends of the patient are sent a password to securely access the virtual visit from the go-to-meeting website. After logging on, images are captured by a digital web camera in real-time and communication begins.

What does it mean when my 17-year-old daughter and the 85-year-old star of a reality TV show independently come up with the same idea? Is it a sign of the apocalypse, or an important alignment of cultural values that presages hope for the future? If nothing else, it suggests government foolishness is the last great trans-generational unifier. For it's clear to young and old — but not to Washington — that the penny's time has come.
For months my daughter Grace had been muttering about her grand plan to melt down pennies minted before 1982. Today's pennies are mostly zinc; the older ones are almost pure copper, and at today's market prices they're worth more as scrap metal. There's even a website that calculates an up-to-date value of an older penny as spot markets fluctuate. It's about 2.2 cents today. Unfortunately, between calculus homework and afterschool activities Grace hadn't yet tracked down a contract smelter to participate in the scheme.

Anxiety is the Spice of Life
"I feel like I ate the sun!" These are Cameron's words in "Starry Night" as he tries to spice Gloria under the table by ordering her favorite fiery entr�e. This only amplifies his uneasiness at the restaurant. Cam says, "I was nervous. I mean, there was a lot of different food on the menu…and on the floor…and on the wall." Sounds like a nice place.
