Eighteen9 Reviews
Haunted once again by the nightmares of his childhood, Pete is beginning to fear that these twisted scenes may be more than figments of his imagination, that they may be trying to warn him of somet...
I turn around and boot it down the stairs and out the door, the others right behind.
I stand at the edge of the woods, flashlight in hand, Andy, Joe, and Patrick each running to catch up.
"Rachael!" I cup my hands around my mouth and shout as loud as I can, but there's no reply.
"I gotta find her," I mutter to myself.
"Man, it's three in the fricken morning," Joe says, catching his breath, "How are you gonna find her? It's a big woods and there's only four of us."
"I'll find her," I say, pushing brush out of my way and walking into the forest.
My flashlight beam dances back and forth across the ground in front of me, and across the trees and brush on either side.
The guys follow not far behind, all doing the same as me.
We come into a clearing, the moonlight illuminating anything our flashlights fail to reveal.
The grass is overgrown and the branches of the bushes stick out in all directions.
I take a step into the tall grass and suddenly my skin ices over and I feel the blood drain from my face.
My heart makes a bungee cord jump into my stomach and then up my throat and back again.
"Oh my God," Joe whispers, only loud enough for us to hear.
He whips back around,"Patrick! Check over there!" he points at an overgrowth of bush in the opposite directions.
Patrick just offers a confused look and we all edge closer, not exactly sure of what Joe doesn't want him to see.
And that's when I see her.
She's lying on the ground, the grass flattened down around her as well as several rocks.
Theres a narrow stream of liquid running from her head, pooling itself into a pear-shaped puddle.
I feel myself gasp and shake my head over and over again, swallowing the bile down telling myself that it's not what it is.
But I know it's blood.
That she's dead.
Her eyes stare up at us, wide and disappointed, asking me why we didn't get here sooner.
The cool October air blows around us, playing with the wisps of chocolate-brown hair at the base of her forehead, now stained wine red.
I cover my face with my hands as Joe and Andy do all that they can to keep Patrick from the horrifying scene.
But it doesn't work, eventually he pushes past them and falls to his knees at the sight in front of him.
He's speechless, he can only gape and let the tears fall.
Andy puts a comforting hand on his shoulder and just stands by him, letting him cry.
That's when the darkness folds around me and starts to swirl.
That's when my body hits the ground.
I wake up minutes later, to Joe kicking me in the side.
I stand up and put my hand over the spot where he was kicking me, I'll have a bruise there tomorrow.
Patrick is still crying, and Andy is still right beside him, being a good friend and just standing by him, hand on his shoulder, just being there.
He waves Joe and I on, telling us that they'll be fine.
Joe and I leave the clearing and the smell of earth surrounds me and seems to intensify with each step.
We walk in silence for several minutes, doing our best to stay on a path of sorts, to keep moving in a straight direction.
I concentrate hard on the sounds around me - the crickets chirping, leaves rustling, and twigs snapping under my feet.
But then I hear something else - footsteps, the sound of someone's body moving through the brush, scraping against the branches.
I try to figure out which direction it's coming from, but the ringing in my pocket stops me, and sends a trickle of panic down my spine.
I pull out my sidekick and stop where I am to answer it.
"Not long, now Peter," a voice says and the line goes dead, just like that.
We continue down the path, this time at a quicker pace.
It's quiet behind us now, like the person who was following us stopped or went in a different direction.
A couple minutes pass and I look up into the sky for direction, but I can see dawn starting to break in the horizon, reminding me that I need to hurry.
I take giant steps with my arms outstretched, swiping the brush out from in front of us.
I stop a moment and turn around, sure that someone is moving behind me again.
I take a few quick steps in an effort to create distance between them and Joe and I.
The person following does the same.
I speed up even more, running now, doing my best to weave my way in between the trees and around the brush as Joe struggles slightly behind.
The ground is beginning to turn to sludge beneath my feet.
With each step it gets deeper, slowing me down and tugging at my ratty old Vans.
I take another quick step and my foot sinks, beyond ankle-deep, into the mud.
I tug my foot up hard and take step, doing the same with the other, my sneakers are left behind somewhere deep in the sludge, but I don't have time to care.
Now barefoot, I struggle to trudge my way the sopping muck, to reach sturdier ground.
But then I have to stop.
Pain gnaws at the arch of one foot.
The feeling explodes towards my ankle and all the way up to my knee.
I bend over and grab my leg, groaning in pain.
"You alright, man?" Joe asks, coming to a stop beside me.
I nod my head and grit my teeth, reaching down to feel the spot.
There's a stick poking out through my skin.
I feel myself begin to pant, and the lights behind my eyes go dim.
I want to be sick.
I reach out into the darkness for a branch to help steady myself, but end up slipping, smacking down against the cold wet soil.
"Pete?" whispers a male voice.
"Pete, Joe? That you guys?"
A beam of light finds its way from my bare foot to my face, making me squint.
And then it moves to highlight his.
It's Andrew.
And he's hiding.
He's squatted himself down between two wiry shrubs, his face partially covered by a web of branches.
"Andrew?" I say through gritted teeth.
But Joe, he gets straight to the point,"What in the hell are you doing in the woods, half an hour away from your house, at four o'clock in the morning?"
"Andy called and told me what happened, I figured I'd come help you guys out, since Andy had to stay with poor Patrick," he says, without missing a beat.
Joe shrugs, it's a good enough excuse.
"Are they gone?" he asks,"Did you see them?" his face is pale, and masked in a mix of fear and sweat.
I shake my head and grab at my bear foot, trying to figure out how deep the stick is in my foot.
A good half inch at least.
"What happened?" he asks.
But my breathing is hurried and ragged, sweat dripping from my temples, I can't answer him.
He pulls out a cellphone and starts to dial, pressing the phone against his ear.
"Shit," he mutters.
"What?" Joe asks, as if reading my mind.
"Nine one one. I keep trying to call but I can't get reception out here."
He looks over both his shoulders, parts a web of branches, and moves closer to where Joe and I sit against a fallen tree.
He zooms the flashlight in on my foot,"Here, let me help you there."
He sets the flashlight down to where it beams up at my foot and takes the end of the stick, making it shift slightly.
I grit my teeth even more and groan through the pain.
He nods in understanding and in one swift motion he quickly twists the stick and tears it from my foot as I cry out in pain.
I take off my sock and tie it around the wound to clot the bleeding.
"How's it feel?" Joe asks.
"Just like falling in love," I say sarcastically,"How do you think it feels? But I think I'll live."
"You sure?" Andrew asks.
I nod.
"Come on, we can't stay here," he says, helping me up.
"Hurry, I don't know who's screwing with us, but they'll find us if we don't move."
"Who?" Joe asks, cocking an eyebrow quizzically.
Andrew simply walks forward, utterly ignoring Joe's simple question.
We scurry through the bushes, over rocks, and between trees, his flashlight our only guide.
He constantly looks back, over his shoulders and past me and Joe to see if we're being followed.
We arrive at a clearing and he gives us instructions.
"Andrew, what the fuck is your deal?" Joe asks, once again speaking my mind.
"I just saw something I shouldn't have and want to get the hell out of here alive."
"Wait," I say,"What did you see?" I ask, wondering if he saw what happened to Emma.
"Nothing you need to know about now," he replies,"Trust me on that."
"Well, I've got to do something," I say, remembering why I came out here in the first place,"And I can't keep running."
"I'll tell you what," he shines the flashlight over at a boulder,"You guys go crouch down behind that and I'll make sure they're gone. If they are, then we can all just head back to your house."
I open my mouth to say something but he doesn't give me the time.
"Hold this for me. I'll be right back. Just don't make any noise."
I take the flashlight but I refuse to sit down.
I look up into the sky, which is slowly beginning to get lighter, as the sun starts to come up in the distance.
I aim the flashlight in the direction Andrew just went.
Joe and I take careful steps over the brush and fallen leaves, trying my best to be quiet.
There's sort of a trail through a huge cluster of trees.
We take to it quickly, walking down it silently.
I lift a fork-shaped branch from in front of my eyes and that's when I see it: the building from my nightmare.
It's the same exact shell of a house, lit up by the same exact spotlights.
She's in there.
I'm certain.
I'm limping now, walking on the ball of my foot to avoid the pain, I limp as fast as I can towards the front of the house, fearing yet knowing exactly what I'll find.
There it is, freshly dug, right in front of my very eyes, Rae's name dug freshly dug into the moist soil.
I want to be sick.
I cup my hand over my mouth and Joe puts his hand on my shoulder.
"Are you alright?"
I heave in and out.
This can't be real, it can't be happening.
But it is.
This is the real thing.
I back away from the letters slowly, trying to calm my fears as best I can.
Seeing these intricate details from my dreams play out right in front of me like this is strange and terrifying at the same time.
But if I use them to my advantage I might be able to save her.
I run into the house with relentless speed, my forehead smacking against the spotlight hanging down from the partial roof.
A splattering of colored spots shoots in front of my eyes and nearly blinds me.
But they fade quickly, restoring my vision completely.
It's exactly like my dream, everything is the same, it's like I've been here before.
Ahead of me sits the long hallway with the adjoining rooms on both sides.
I take small steps across the boards, searching for any sign of Rae.
In one of the rooms there is a simple blanket laid out, and a fresh bouquet of lilies sprouts from a crystal vase.
Wind combs through the boards and all around me, chilling me to the very bone.
A black backpack is slouched in the corner.
I hobble over and take a look inside.
There's an empty can of Diet Coke with a kiss of lipstick against the rim.
It's Rae's, I'd bet.
The next item is a half eaten candy bar, with plastic wrap over the bite marks for protection.
And last there are several other unmentionables - probably stolen when he ransacked our house.
My body shakes, and Joe peers into the bag, pawing through the items with disgust.
"Honestly, I really don't understand why a guy would take something like this," he says, holding up a dainty pair of briefs,"All I know is he must be a real piece of work."
The floorboards creak, and I glance in the direction of the other room, seeing that the spotlight has been shut off.
I quickly stuff everything back into the bag and jam the flashlight in my hoodie pocket.
I stand next to Joseph, frozen in fear, hoping that the darkness will hide me.
That I'm all alone.
That no one is coming.
The sound of footsteps moving towards me fills my ears.
I stretch my arms out and spread my fingers to try and find the doorway that will lead me into the main room, the one I came in.
Despite the growing ache, I place all my weight on the injured foot with each step to avoid making any noise, but just as soon as I'm sure that it's working, my ankle makes a loud popping noise.
I snap my eyes shut, clench my fists, and remain as still as possible, trying not to breathe.
I wait several seconds but there's only silence.
The footsteps start again but then they stop, and I can tell he's only inches away now.
My chin shakes.
Should I say something?
Should I answer?
I clench my fists even tighter.
"Pete?" he says again,"Is that you?"
He clicks on the spotlight over us and it takes several seconds before his image is more than a blur of light mixed with shadows.
And then it hits me.
The way he's looking at me - head slightly cocked to one side, eyebrows arched, lips pressed together, it's him.
The face in my nightmare.
The one I saw, but couldn't remember.
Him showing up right after the break in.
His joking attitude.
His being here tonight.
His backpack.
He stands in the middle of the room, just below the spotlight.
"You scared the shit out of me," he says, "I went back to get you guys and you were gone and are you alright?" he rambles, shifting subjects mid-sentence.
Teeth clenched, jaw stiff, I nod.
"I think it's best you leave now," he says forcefully.
"You don't want to stay here," he tells me,"Trust me, your brother."
Joe stays silent, and scoots over towards the wall.
I find my courage and a bubble of energy explodes in my chest,"Tell me where Rachael is. Now!"
"I don't know what you're talking about, but you had better leave before it's too late."
"Tell me," I growl,"Or I'm not going anywhere."
"No!" he shouts, lunging toward me, his hands at my shoulders, and pins me against the wall.
I launch my knee up into his groin and he stumbles back, letting out a short grunt.
But that's not enough.
He grabs around my neck and presses the back of my head against a wooden plank.
"Andrew," I gasp, trying to swallow, feeling every muscle in my neck work.
His hands lock tighter.
Until I can't breathe at all, until my world falls silent.
I feel my lips part, my tongue fall forward, and my eyelids twitter.
"Time to go home, now!" He releases his grip on my neck and I feel my knees give way.
I fall to the ground and my hands grasp around my neck.
Trying to fill my lungs with breath.
Still gasping, I stand to meet him eye to eye.
I draw back, and with all my might, I put all my weight in front of me and launch my fist forward, punching him hard in the face.
His head snaps back and he yelps and folds to the ground, the flashlight shooting from his hand.
I snatch it and run.
I know it'll only be a matter of time before he gets up and comes looking for me.
I continue to run, wiping at the tears streaming from my eyes due to the cold air.
It feels like theres broken glass under my wounded foot but I run with all I have, through the pain.
And then, right below my rib cage, a sting, a pulling.
I'm going to get sick.
But I can't.
I suck in my breath and run, until a board creaks under my foot, popping up just a little bit, and I hear her whimper.
Joe skids to a stop next to me and gets the message, immediately tugging at the board.
I grab the one next to it and immediately thrust it upwards, silently thanking God for the shitty craftsmanship.
"Rae," I whisper into the small crack I've made.
No response.
I tug harder, digging my feet into the floor and pulling.
It gives way a little more and I whisper again,"Rae, can you hear me?" I pull again, but it's not going to give anymore.
I glance around the room and see it - a crowbar set on the window frame only about twenty feet away.
I dart forward and grab it, digging it into the crack and thrusting upward, seeing the nails come loose just as I hear the floorboards creak in the other room.
He must be coming back into consciousness.
I give the board one more thrust and it pops upward, and I immediately hand it off to Joe, who is still struggling with the other board.
I want to cry.
I want to be sick.
But I can't.
Rae is depending on me.
I grab the plank, picking it up and tossing it to the side.
Joe mimics the motions I just went through and soon both boards have been removed.
There she is.
She lays on the ground in the fetal position, her eyes wide like a cat.
Her hair, tousled and dirty over her face.
Thick pieces of duct tape over her mouth, around her wrists, and ankles.
I grab her wrists and pull her upward, onto the floor.
I can hear her sobbing beneath the tape.
Her head quivers, like she's scared and cold at the same time.
I grab the corner of the tape and pull until her mouth is free, until her sobs are audible.
"Rae, you have to keep quiet," I say, looking around.
No Andrew just yet.
I fumble with the tape around her ankles, but I can't get my fingers to work fast enough.
Rae continues to sob thick, hungry sobs, like she can't get her breath.
She scrunches up her knees and wiggles her ankles, trying to release the tape.
"Rae hold still," I say, finding the end of the tape and unrolling layer after layer of tape around her ankles, as she continues to wriggle them back and forth as I get closer to the end.
"Quit doing that, you're making it harder," I say, looking around.
Still no sign of Andrew.
She wails even louder.
He has to have heard us by now.
I free her ankles, stand up, and grab at her arms to pull her up.
But she refuses to budge, she's just dead weight.
"Rae come on," I plead.
She focuses down and shakes her head furiously, and continues to cry.
"Rae, please. I need you to help me. He's coming, don't you get it? He killed Emma, the three of us could be next," I say as Joe nods in agreement.
She pulls her knees to her chest and snaps her eyes shut tight to block me out.
I take a deep breath in, squat down, put one arm under her knees, the other around her back and pick her up bridal-style.
I wrestle to stand up, putting all the weight in my legs, but the bottom of my foot feels like its tearing open.
I take a step and fall backwards, Rae toppling over me, crying even louder now.
I hear a shifting in the other room and push Rae off of me, and grab her ankles, as Joe grabs her around the waist.
We hoist her off the ground and hurry out into the woods, the three of us moving as one, as fast as possible.
Suddenly Joe stops and his icy blue eyes, just as Rae's, grow wide with fear.
Rae looks back at me and her mouth arches wide in a loud, crazed scream.
A blade presses against my neck and I drop her legs immediately.
"I bet you wish you'd gone home now, don'tcha, Pete?" Andrew snarls.
He holds me in a headlock, the point of the blade needling into my skin.
"No!" Rae shouts.
She struggles out of Joe's grip and lifts her arms towards her head, like she wants to cover her ears, block everything out, but her bound wrists make it impossible.
"Andrew," the ball in my throat bobs up and down beneath his grip,"Rae, she needs help, a doctor."
"You did this. This is your fault!" Andrew releases the headlock and pushes me to the ground.
I land smack on my butt.
"Hands behind your back!" he shouts.
I comply.
He squats down next to Rae, but keeps his eye on me.
He touches the side of her face, the blade ever so gently brushing against her cheek, and lifts her chin so she'll look at him,"It's OK now. Everything's going to be OK."
Rae shakes her head almost violently.
"I had to do this," he rubs her wrists gingerly,"Do you understand? I had to tie you up like this, you said you wanted to leave. I had to make you listen and understand."
There's the long, fork-like branch I saw earlier, laying just out of my reach.
Focusing on Andrew, I sit up tall, lengthening my spine, inching myself towards it.
"I love you, Rae," Andrew continues,"That's why I've done all this."
He smiles, as though this explanation will bring her pleasure.
"I only hid you because I didn't want anyone to find you. Do you know how that would have ruined it all?"
Her breathing is getting worse, the more he talks to her the more ragged it becomes.
"Andrew," Joe says bravely,"I know you want the best for her. But she's freezing. She's having trouble breathing. She needs a doctor.
"No!" he shouts.
He points the blade towards Joe's face and his hand shakes with rage,"Not until she understands!"
He looks back at her but keeps the blade pointed at Joe in midair.
"I'm gonna take care of her. I'm the only one who knows how."
I stretch out my leg, reaching for the branch with my foot.
"I love you, Rachael," He pats the side of her face,"And I know you love me too. I know you used to love our long talks on the phone."
His eyes are desperate for her affirmation but her crying only intensifies.
She huddles further into a crouch and rocks back and forth.
"What's wrong with you?" Andrew shouts,"Why won't you say anything? Why won't she speak to me?!" He glares past the blade at Joe and I.
"You killed Emma," I say.
"She got in my way," he counters.
He changes the direction of the knife so that it's pointed downwards, and stabs it into the ground, over and over again.
I inch myself closer to the branch.
"I had to stop her, Rachael," Andrew persists,"I didn't want to do what I did. You've gotta believe me. I'm not that way, I just couldn't let her ruin this."
He continues to stab at the ground and I continue to inch towards the branch.
She continues to rock back and forth, her eyes blank and distant.
Andrew breathes in deeply and plunges the knife into his knee, penetrating the skin, drawing a gash of blood.
He jerks it out with a slight flinch but continues to stab the ground relentlessly.
He wants her to answer him but she doesn't oblige.
I break my hands from the clasp behind my back and grab the stick, swinging it only for him to intercept it mid-swing.
He grabs my wrist and presses the knife to my cheek,"You think you're clever, don't you, Pete?"
I shake my head.
He draws a line down my cheek and then points the tip into my throat.
"No!" Rachael and Joe scream in unison.
I look over Andrew's shoulder.
Rae is standing, her fingers woven together and Andrew takes a step back to look at her.
"No!" she cries again.
He releases my hand but keeps me pinned with the knife.
I let my arms fall slowly, and grab his hand from near my throat and bit it hard, breaking the skin.
"Rachael now!" I shout, not sure of what she'll do, but praying she'll do something.
Her fists thunder upward and into his groin and he falls to the ground, and Joe kicks his face.
I tear the knife from his grip and turn it on him.
"Sit down," I instruct him forcefully.
He motions to sit but lurches at me, twisting the knife from my grip.
Joe comes from behind him and swings a stone over his head, hitting Andrew hard.
The knife jumps for his grip and Andrew scrambles to stay focused.
I move to grab the knife, but he beats me to it.
"Hold it," but this time it's a different voice.
I look up and there stands the officer, the one who mocked me for claiming I knew this would happen just last week.
He's accompanied by Andy and a solemn-looking Patrick.
His gun is drawn and he lurches towards us,"Drop the knife and step back," he commands.
I do, knowing that we're finally safe.
He wraps a pair of handcuffs around Andrew's wrists and reads him his rights.
Another officer takes off his jacket and drapes it around Rae's shoulders
He unwinds the tape from her wrists.
I just stand there next to Joe, taking it all in, relieved that I don't have to fight anymore.
Andrew gives Rae one last look before he's escorted away.
It's an intense, desperate look, like he really loves her
I walk over and hug her.
"I'm sorry," she whispers.
"Don't worry about it."
I close my eyes and press her into me, feel her fingers touch my back, them press against me to return the hug.
"Thank you," she whispers into my ear.
I kiss her, and pull away, shaking my head, thankful that she's safe, and that the nightmare's ended.

In case you forgot about her (and who wouldn't want to forget about her) Democrat Representative Nancy Pelosi is still out there lying with the best–or worst–of them. This time Pelosi is claiming that 500,000 Americans signed up for Obamacare when even Obama's own numbers state that only 100,000 did so.
Pelosi was once the Speaker of the House of Representatives, now, thankfully, she is a minority leader with little power or influence. But she is still spinning left-wing lies and this one is a whopper.
Pelosi–or as some wags call her "Pelousey"–took to Twitter to trumpet the many hundreds of thousands of new enrollees in Obamacare.
FACT: Despite website glitches, ≈1m have applied and are eligible to #getcovered on #ACA marketplaces. 500,000 have already secured coverage
But, even the Department of Health and Human services from Obama's own administration is sayingthat only 100,000 were able to sign up and get new insurance.
HHS says that only 106,185 people were able to pick a new plan from Obamacre as of November 2. THat is a far cry from the 500,000 Pelosi said signed up.

Looking for some players or a group to join for Edge of the Empire. I have one other that would be willing to join so far. We have only gone through the beginner box game, and some of the Long Arm of the Hutt. But we are looking to expand further with other modules and what not.
Best time for both of us so far is on the weekends. We have been using Game Depot in Tempe to meet up.
Feel free to message me or check out our community page. Thanks.

Kung kinakailangan ko maghintay para bumalik tayo sa dati gagawin ko pero sana wag mo akong sisihin kapag dumating yung panahon na mapagod na ako sa pambabalewala mo.
When I hear someone say she has a crush on my crush >:)
Kapag todo kwento yung kaibigan mo ng mga bagay na wala ka namang opinyon
Happy Birthday Bes! :)
Before I had 2 girl best friends but they both left me. They replaced me with a new one. Since then I told myself that I will never have a best friend again! It's been years since I had one. But then one day someone told me that he could be my best friend. I thought that I should give it a try this time since I haven't experienced having a guy as my best friend.
At first nothing seemed to be different between him and my other friends. So I thought that maybe it was just a title. Just to say that I have a "best friend." But as years pass by I felt that it was not just a title anymore. I've been more open to him and that we almost talk about even the weirdest things in life. I became more and more comfortable having him by my side. He never made me feel that I'm alone. He is always there whenever I need someone to talk to. Even if I have non sense problems and stories. Hahaha!
Now that we already have different worlds, we still manage to communicate at times. Whenever I have problems and worries I can still run to him and he would do everything just to make me feel better. :)
With him I became more open-minded about how guys feel and react to things and situations especially when it comes to girls and our dramas. He helped me to understand why guys act in those ways. I am so thankful because he is my best friend. Now I fully understand why it never worked out with girls as my BFFs. :)
Happy Birthday Bes! You will never see this because you don't have an account here. Hahaha! I just want the people here to know how blessed and thankful I am to have you. Okay enough with all these dramas. :)
=> Friendship is not measured by being together often, it is measured by being there for that person whenever he/she needs you. <=

Spinal Fluid Test May Diagnose Alzheimer's
Aug. 9, 2010 -- Researchers have identified a protein "signature" in the spinal fluid of patients with Alzheimer's disease, which could represent an important advance in its diagnosis.
The signature was found in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 90% of people with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and 72% of people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) -- a disorder that often progresses to Alzheimer's.
Researchers measured concentrations of three proteins previously identified as potential biological indicators, or biomarkers, for Alzheimer's and MCI: amyloid-beta, tau, and phospho-tau.
Low levels of the amyloid protein amyloid-beta 1-42, along with high levels of total tau and elevated phospho tau 181 (P-tau 181), identified Alzheimer's disease in three independent study groups, Hugo Vanderstichele, PhD, of the Belgian biotech company Innogenetics, tells WebMD.
In one study, this protein signature was also seen in spinal fluid samples from all patients with mild cognitive impairment who progressed to Alzheimer's disease within five years.
"Using this approach, which was totally independent of diagnosis, we were able to identify patients with Alzheimer's disease," Vanderstichele says.
A Better Test for Alzheimer's?
Along with colleagues from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, which paid for the research, Vanderstichele developed the protein profile and tested it on spinal fluid taken from roughly 100 older people with no evidence of memory loss, as well as 200 people with MCI and 100 with Alzheimer's disease.
The researchers tested the samples without knowing the clinical status of the patients who supplied them.
The Alzheimer's signature was identified in nine out of 10 samples from patients with Alzheimer's disease and in just over two-thirds of patients with MCI. Thirty-six percent of people with no known cognitive impairment also exhibited the signature.
These results were validated in CSF samples from two other studies. In one, the protein signature indicative of Alzheimer's was seen in 64 of 68 autopsy-confirmed cases of the disease. In another, all 57 patients with MCI followed for five years exhibited the protein profile.
It is not clear why more than a third of people without memory declines had the Alzheimer's biomarkers. It could be that the biomarker changes occur long before symptoms of Alzheimer's do, says neurologist John H. Growdon, MD, of Massachusetts General Hospital.
"These may be people who are able to tolerate a high burden of these toxic (proteins) without developing symptoms," he says.
Will Patients Agree to Spinal Tap?
In an editorial accompanying the study, Growdon wrote that measuring amyloid-beta and tau protein levels in spinal fluid is a useful advance in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
But he says it remains to be seen if doctors and patients will embrace a diagnostic test that requires drawing fluid from the spinal region.
The study and editorial appear in the August issue of Archives of Neurology.

The NFL has released some intimate audio and video from the sidelines of Super Bowl XLVII, and one of the most interesting exchanges was filmed on the Ravens sideline before the final play of Baltimore's 34-31 win.
As Sam Koch prepared to boot a free kick to San Francisco 49ers return Ted Ginn Jr., quarterback Joe Flacco told his teammates to run onto the field and tackle Ginn if it looked like he was going to score. This, of course, is illegal and could have resulted in an automatic touchdown, but Flacco wasn't sure about the rule.
Here is the transcription of the audio courtesy of Yahoo Sports's excellent NFL blog Shutdown Corner:
- Baltimore Ravens after the 2013 Super Bowl [Pictures]
- Ravens linebackers coach Ted Monachino staying put
- Jacoby Jones wants to finish his career with the Ravens
- Ravens 23, Cleveland Browns 21 [Pictures]
- Mike Preston grades the Ravens' 23-21 win over the Browns in Week 3

"If he starts to break it, go tackle him," Flacco said to Dennis Pitta.
"Really?" the tight end responded.
"I don't know ... I mean ... what else can they ... they might be able to give them a touchdown on that? I don't know," Flacco told Pitta.
Flacco then approached the offensive linemen with his new tactic.
"Hey! If he breaks this ... if he busts it for some reason? Tackle him! Go tackle him," Flacco said to guard Marshal Yanda and center Matt Birk. "I don't know what the rule is on that, but..."
"Why don't you?" Yanda asked.
"I'm going to!" Flacco said.
Flacco wanted to win a Lombardi Trophy so badly, he actually might have been serious. Thankfully for the Ravens and their fans, linebacker Josh Bynes tackled Ginn before Flacco did it himself.

Director of Research, Cincinnati Wildlife Research Federation, Cincinnati, Ohio
As a prelude to this discussion of the ex situ technology that is or could be available to maintain biological diversity in conservation programs, we must first explore why we should be interested in this technology at all. The greatest threat to the preservation of genetic diversity of wild animals comes from the destruction and degradation of their habitats (Croner, 1984). Some experts are estimating that if today's pace of habitat destruction continues, 1 million species of plants and animals may become extinct by the end of this century (AAZPA, 1983). Continued destruction of tropical rain forests, the most species-rich land environment on Earth, may result in mass extinctions that would permanently impoverish the planet (see Part 3 of this book: Diversity at Risk: Tropical Forests).
Other threats to species come from the destruction of animals and plants for food and trade. The Global 2000 Report to the President of the United States (Barney, 1982) states that the extinctions projected for the coming decades will be largely generated by humans and on a scale that renders the gradual process of natural extinction trivial by comparison. Extinction is a catastrophe, not only aesthetically or because of the effect it has on the ecological balance, but also because it deprives mankind of part of Nature's potential. Each species forms a genetic reservoir (genome) that may be of value in agriculture, medicine, or industry (Daniel, 1981). Forty percent of our present-day medicines are derived from wild plants and animals (Wolkomir, 1983; see also Farnsworth, Chapter 9 of this volume). It is impossible to know what other additional resources lay waiting to be tapped.
Animal and plant germplasm should not be preserved merely for altruistic reasons

Very yummy and I didn't think that the prep time was that bad as someone else posted but then I was preparing other dishes at the same time so I didn't really notice. I couldn't find organic Yukon or red potatoes so I used organic russet, which seemed fine. I only had enough onion for 2 1/2 cups but it didn't seem to affect the flavor at all. Would definitely make again.

An SUV driven by a bank employee ends up 40 feet in the lobby of the Chase Bank on Silber near the Katy Freeway. HPD Officer Ron Brooks tells News 92 FM that the employee usually opens every day and backs into a parking space. But Wednesday morning, the Honda Pilot barreled right through glass front doors and more than halfway inside the building.
The good news is that there was no one inside because accident happened before the bank was scheduled to open. The driver was not hurt. There is considerable damage to the structure. The front doors of the bank were knocked to the ground, glass litters the entry way and cubicle walls sit on the carpet. Yellow caution tape now skirts the entrance. No word as to when the bank will reopen.

CRS Jet Spares has increased its overall line item inventory level by 33 percent this year, despite the economy, according to founder and CEO Armando Leighton Jr. "The downturn in the economy has provided us with opportunities to increase our inventory and prepare for the future.
Gulf Stream
At a Bank of America/Merrill Lynch Global Industrial Conference last month, General Dynamics chief Jay Johnson said that his company's aerospace division–namely Gulfstream and Jet Aviation–hit their troughs last year. He said the prospects for both companies this year are good, and he expects next year to be a strong growth year, especially for Gulfstream.
Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato and officials from the county airport authority last month confirmed that they have begun talks with Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Gulfstream International Airlines to restore nonstop air service from Pittsburgh International Airport to several regional communities.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the partnership of MedAire (Booth No. 775) and Gulfstream Aerospace (Booth No. 275), through which the Phoenix-based MedAire has been providing Gulfstream operators with medical equipment, medical training and 24/7 access to MedAire's hospital-based MedLink Global Response Center. Gulfstream includes the MedAire package with the purchase of each new Gulfstream aircraft.
Gulfstream Aerospace achieved significant milestones for not one but two new models–the G650 and G250–just weeks before the NBAA Convention opened, with both models taxiing toward assembled crowds under their own power for their respective public rollout ceremonies. Both jets are expected to make their first flights later this year and will be certified under new type certificates.
Gulfstream Aerospace recently received an expansion of its Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) to include final-phase manufacturing and service-center work at its headquarters in Savannah as well as its facilities in Appleton, Wis.; Brunswick, Ga.; Dallas; and Long Beach, Calif.
Gulfstream Aerospace last week marked the service entry of the 500th Gulfstream outfitted with the manufacturer's enhanced vision system (EVS). This milestone was reached eight years after the Savannah, Ga.-based company began offering the flight-deck safety technology to large-cabin Gulfstream operators.
The FAA has approved the Gulfstream Aerospace Long Beach, Calif. facility to perform engine and APU maintenance on the Gulfstream G150. It was previously approved to perform only airframe maintenance. "Being able to service the entire Gulfstream fleet at Long Beach is important," said Mark Burns, Gulfstream president for product support.
The first wide-cabin Gulfstream G650 is quickly taking shape at the business jet manufacturer's Savannah, Ga. facility, the company said. "The speed and ease with which the wing join, engine mount and fuselage components, including the empennage, came together is a tribute to the people who designed and manufactured these major parts," said Gulfstream senior vice president of programs, engineering and test Pres Henne.
Gulfstream Aerospace has reintroduced its "Meet the Quote" spare parts price-matching program. Originally launched in 2004, the program this time will be in effect through the end of this month.
The program includes the most popular exchange parts, says Gulfstream, including valves, alternators, regulator and brake assemblies, actuators and display units, for the entire line of Gulfstream jets.

It actualy wasnt that hard when our guild did it, we downed it an hour and a half after our first try. one of the wipes sadly was because we acadently initiated hard mode becuase we left too many vapors out, but the fight is all about conservation. Healers need to know to not over heal and what abilitys will be more mana efficent (4 flash of light or 1 holy light), tanks have to be ready with there trinkets for surge and any other way to reduce damage to keep healers from waisting mana and the dps have to be weary of not to burst with everything they have on a few abilitys that dont have a good out come. its ment to be a slow fight that is focused on conservation and control, also when a healer is OOM and u kill a cload, u will be pissed when u are then targeted by mark of teh faceless and cant get mana.

The training staff at X-Treme Nutrition includes Steve Zaracki, who has persevered through his own paralysis in order to help others get fit. Whether with Steve or with another certified trainer, clients enlist in a training session that fits their schedule, joining up to seven other exercisers. Groups work out under the supervision of a single coach, with each member sweating through a routine personalized to their fitness goals by a kettlebell that has evolved a mouth. Staffers prescribe a healthy diet plan during a nutrition consultation, and they establish a baseline against which to measure progress during a body-measurement session. The three parts of the one-month program combine to boost strength, flexibility, and endurance, which aids clients who get jobs as human ottomans.
Despite the breaking of clocks and the plotting of super villains, the world continues to turn, days and then years pass, and skin gathers wrinkles and begins to sag. At Lynn Klein Massage & Skincare, skilled aesthetician Janet (Lynn) Klein fights these signs of aging with cutting-edge facials that incorporate galvanic currents, Nu Skin products, and microdermabrasion, aiming to firm up slack skin and banish wrinkles left from frowning at disappointingly slow-growing house plants. Klein also draws on her 19 years of experience in the massage and skincare industry while incorporating massage techniques to soothe away stress. The spa also evicts excess wax and hidden telegraph messages from ears with candling.
At On The Spot Massage Therapy, five massage therapists work to pamper clients with 10 styles and an array of treatment add-ons. Stuffed-up sinuses can find relief as therapists utilize cold, handcrafted marble stones to gently ease away inflammation and pressure caused by migraine headaches. Massages range from traditional Swedish and pregnancy modalities to a Sticks & Stones massage that uses warm bamboo and smooth basalt rocks.
At Breakthrough Medical Weight Loss, genes can no longer be used as the scapegoat for failed attempts at weight loss. Bloodwork analyses help the staff customize a diet plan based on patients? genetics, helping them to finally decipher why some foods cause them to gain weight and why others inspire them to perform the hokey pokey after eating. Other routes to health include a prescription-based program and the hCG weight-loss program, during which patients receive injections of a fat-burning hormone that depletes unwanted lipid stores. The staff also specializes in post-pregnancy weight-loss programs, bridal weight-loss programs, and bio-identical-hormone treatments.
Featured on The Dr. Oz Show as an alternative to liposuction, high-tech i-Lipo treatments slim circumferences by using lasers instead of incisions. The FDA-approved system can target the hips, waist, or thighs and imitates the body's natural fat-burning process to break down fat deposits. A sequence of 8–10 treatments—each followed by a brisk walk, a gym visit, or an energetic roll up a hill—typically maximizes results. The clinic facilitates weight loss with alternate methods as well, crafting custom nutrition plans, administering lipotropic B12 injections, and, when advisable, prescribing weight-loss medication.
Dr. Nagi Ayoub is a board-certified surgeon and plastic surgeon who works to bring patients closer to the faces and bodies they desire. A clinical associate professor at Creighton University medical school's Department of Surgery, Dr. Ayoub has published papers in medical journals, and he applies this knowledge when performing tummy tucks and face-lifts. After less-invasive aesthetic treatments including photofacials and laser hair removal, patrons can slip out the door past leather couches beneath abstract paintings and illustrations of historic cloud battles.

by Melanie Fischer, posted on SoloinColo

Filtering the Noise: Social Media Time Management Tools
by Jacob Sapochnick, posted on Enchanting Lawyer
By now you know the importance of social media marketing, but how to get it all done may still be a bit of a mystery. Writing a blog post, making a few Facebook posts, working on your email marketing and sending out a handful of tweets can take up half your day if you let it. That doesn't even take it to account engaging with followers and building a community, which is where the good stuff really happens. Read more.
Should Lawyers Look to Online Dispute Resolution To Resolve Disputes With Clients?
by Carolyn Elefant, posted on MyShingle
Online dispute resolution is rapidly gaining traction. Modria, a leading online dispute resolution (ODR) platform, boasts that its service is used to settle more than 60 million cases annually. Yet even though ABA task forces have studied, and appear to endorse ODR, I've not found much mention of the potential uses of ODR to resolve disputes between lawyers and clients. Read more.

Grifols SA (GRF), Europe's largest maker of blood-plasma products, rose the most in more than a year in Madrid trading after first-quarter sales and net income beat analyst estimates.
Grifols jumped as much as 8.5 percent, the biggest intraday gain since February 2011, and traded up 7 percent at 17.75 euros as of 11:50 a.m., valuing the Barcelona-based company at 5.25 billion euros ($6.9 billion). It was the best performer on the benchmark IBEX 35 Index today.
First-quarter sales jumped to 666.7 million euros from 261.4 million euros a year earlier after the acquisition of Talecris Biotherapeutics Holdings Corp., Grifols said today in a statement. Net income was 67.5 million euros. Analysts predicted revenue of 616 million euros and profit of 51.8 million euros, based on the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization increased to 202.6 million euros from 64.8 million euros, taking into account expenses related to the acquisition of Talecris and other non-recurring costs. Grifols bought U.S.- based Talecris for about $4 billion.
"Earnings were very good and in our opinion the goal of reaching 700 million euros in Ebitda this year is very conservative," Luis de Blas, a Madrid-based analyst at Banesto Bolsa, wrote in a report to investors today.

2013's free agent Wide Receivers/Tight Ends and potential cap casualties
2/9/13 in NFL | Matthew_Shovlin | 735 respect
For a look at the free agent quarterbacks of 2013, click here.
For running backs, click here.
For offensive linemen, click here.
For defensive linemen, click here.
The biggest receiver name on the market this year is probably Mike Wallace, who the Steelers are not expected to even attempt to re-sign. The Steelers were fed up with Wallace due to a holdout last summer that was followed by a disappointing season (64 catches for 836 yards with a career-low 13.1 yards per catch). He still possesses game-changing speed, however, and is likely to get a lucrative offer from a receiver-needy team.
Dwayne Bowe might be the most talented of the free agent receivers, as he's managed to put up some great numbers on bad offenses during his years with the Chiefs. Though some people believe that Bowe's chances of re-signing with the Chiefs have improved with the hiring of Andy Reid, there's still a solid chance we see Bowe in a new uniform with a fat wallet next season.
The Packers have no plans to re-sign Greg Jennings, who has put his house on the market and openly "prepared my family for change." A great player when on the field, Jennings has struggled with injuries and will turn 30 years old towards the beginning of next season. Regardless, some team will take a chance on him. The Dolphins - whose head coach Joe Philbin was Jennings' offensive coordinator in Green Bay - are a possibility.
For some reason, the Patriots only gave Wes Welker a one-year deal last summer. Despite playing in his age-31 season, Welker showed no sign of decline, hauling in 118 passes for 1354 yards. The Patriots would like to have him back, but he is likely to test the market due to their questionable undervaluing of him.
Danny Amendola would like to re-sign with the Rams, and the Rams would love to have him back, but Amendola's spotty injury history have complicated contract talks. A similar player to Welker, Amendola would draw plenty of interest if he were to hit the open market.
After a breakout year with 74 catches for 1083 yards, Brian Hartline will be sought after by plenty of teams if the Dolphins don't re-sign him. Though the Dolphins would like to have him back, they view him as a clear No. 2 receiver and will prioritize finding a top receiving option.
Austin Collie will likely get incentive based offers due to his impressive play but awful injury history... Terrell Owens and Randy Moss are both probably willing to play, if anyone actually wants them... Josh Cribbs is probably done as a Brown, but the devaluing of the kick return game will limit teams' interest in him...

Awesomely sung Sowmya. All nuances in tact in your sharp baritone rendition. You have delivered the thakadhina parts qutie well without getting your tongue in a massive twist which was a pleasant surprise to me!.
The charanams were a bit off-kilter with the beat but nevertheless joined up in the end … should be tighter in every line IMO. Other than this it was awesome and enjoyed it thoroughly. I am humbled that you got inspired by my rendition! The credit goes to the song MSV/SPB totally!.

Hats off to you for picking this song and delivering it. The lower registers where so clear.
The only issue was the timing was off in the charanams(was it a karoke issue?), other then that everything was top notch.

Even though an 11-year-old Lee's Summit girl was named runner-up in the Jackson County Spelling Bee, Ellen DeGeneres wanted to give her a second chance.
Sophia Hoffman and Kush Sharma made international headlines after battling for a total of 95 rounds. Kush will be representing Jackson County in the national competition.
But DeGeneres didn't forget about Sophia's efforts.
Sophia taped an appearance on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which will air Wednesday at 3 p.m. on KCTV5. DeGeneres put Sophia's skills to the test, as she was quizzed against the show's executive producer, Andy Lassner.
The Highland Park Elementary School fifth-grader was part of a marathon spelling bee that had to be scheduled for a second day after they exhausted the initial word list last month.
Spelling bee officials had to extend the contest 29 additional rounds. Sophia, a Lee's Summit School District student, stumbled over the word "stifling."
For more than an hour, Sophia and Kush, a seventh-grader, went toe-to-toe in the continuation of the Jackson County Spelling Bee, which began two weeks ago but had to be extended after the two breezed through the word list provided by the Scripps National Spelling Bee, then 20 more words were picked out of the dictionary.
However, that did not stop her from gaining a new crown on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Sophia spelled all the words correctly, while Lassner did not. DeGeneres gave Sophia a sash that read, "I'm Smarter Than Andy," as well as an iPad.
The end of the Jackson County Spelling Bee brought to a close a whirlwind two weeks for Sophia and Kush, a student at Frontier School of Innovation in Kansas City.
Three days after they finished in a tie on Feb. 22, both of their families were flown to New York to make appearances on CNN and Good Morning America. The two said they had become close friends because of the experience.
"I was pretty sad when she got that word incorrect," said Kush, who now moves on to the National Spelling Bee in Washington, DC, in May. "That's the game, you know? It's going to come down to one person, whether you're friends or not."
Sophia said she was excited that she made it so far in the bee and that she planned to compete again next year. Kush said he, too, would be back, and he wouldn't be surprised if the two dueled even longer next year.
Mark Hoffman, Sophia's father, called his daughter a tough kid who gained a lot from the competition despite the emotionally upsetting conclusion.
"I think it is part of the growth of the kids to learn how to work through disappointment and come out stronger," he said.

A 12-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy were stabbed multiple times in the attack.

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
All-Star Battle Royale is a strange one. Clearly, it's a clone of Nintendo's deftly crafted Super Smash Bros, which in itself presents a formula for excellence most publishers would simply struggle to replicate given the star-studded roster of characters Nintendo has to hand.
Enter Sony and its newly formed studio, SuperBot Entertainment, a development house comprised of game designers skilled in crafting titles that hang on digital dust-ups, including former Capcom community guru and Evolution Championship Series founder, Seth Killian. With Killian on board as a lead designer and a sizeable line up of fairly balanced characters from first and third parties including inFamous' Cole McGrath, God of War's Kratos and Bioshock's Big Daddy, Sony's brawler offers the best of both play styles. It can easily be picked up and enjoyed by the casual core with its intuitive base combo systems, but if you take the time to master a character's move set, you'll make short work of the button-hammering drones on PlayStation Network. This all sounds great, right? Not quite.
The problem here is the lack of gameplay modes and a rather lacklustre interface. For a game that pops with so many colourful characters and stellar gameplay mechanics, it's a little too bland on the surface. Still, it does make up for this with an abundance of customisation options and unlocks, and it's also worth noting that if you buy the PS3 edition you're automatically entitled to a download code for the Vita version. Not quite King of the Ring but absolutely worth a look-in.

Adam Lambert Gets His Dance On With Trespassing
- Wednesday, May 23, 2012
Artist: Adam Lambert
Title: Trespassing
Label: RCA
Given his larger-than-life vocals and equally bombastic sense of style (glitter and guyliner, anyone?), one couldn't help thinking that "American Idol" alum Adam Lambert was playing it a little safe on his 2009 major-label debut, For Your Consideration.
While his voice, which is often reminiscent of the late, great Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, had plenty of pizzazz per usual, the songs were decidedly more run of the mill, which often left listeners with a less-than-satisfying result.
Perhaps determined not to make the same mistake again, Lambert's sophomore effort, Trespassing bears little—if any—resemblance to his previous work. If anything, Trespassing is the album that everyone expected from Lambert all along.
Teaming up with all-star cast of songwriters and dance-pop producers too numerous to list here, Trespassing is chock full of catchy anthems just begging to be danced to. Making the most of Lambert's considerable musical assets, especially his vocal showmanship, tracks including "Chokehold" and "Pop That Lock" are perfect vehicles for his particular brand of artistry (i.e. theatrical pop/rock large enough to fill an expansive arena).
While a lesser artist might struggle in the wake of such a dramatic musical transformation, Lambert clearly has no trouble leaving his former Top-40 sounds behind.
Lyrically speaking, however, Trespassing is a far less impressive bag of tricks with pretty unimaginative reflections on life and love. Only the sleazy strains of "Shady" provide a little insight into what makes Lambert tick as it addresses the more scandalous, tabloid-fueled aspects of his public persona. Aside from that, we probably learn the most about Lambert by simply listening to him sell these generic musings with gusto.
If anything's clear from listening to Trespassing, it's that Lambert loves to sing, and he does so with aplomb. Those hoping for more than a rock star's idea of a good time, though, will probably want to look elsewhere.

Oh My God !
I am very shy. Although I look sexy, I have not been with many men yet, I only started working on the street one week ago. So when you pucked your penis in my mouth, I was not sure what to do and I almost threw up, but thanks for teaching me how to give good head and to swallow cum. My pussy is still a bit tight but should loosen up after a few more fucks. I hope your members like my pictures.

Pittsburg State officials say, 7,000students are expected to attend the university this year. According to thePittsburg Police Chief 911 calls to the dispatch center will increase.
"We do enjoy the students comingback, because it makes our community very vibrant and that's something wereally appreciate here in Pittsburg, but on the other hand our calls forservice do go up," Pittsburg Police Chief Mendy Hulvey.
Chief Hulvey says for the number of callsthey receive, 2 more police officers are needed.
"We struggle but we make ithappen we cut corners other places but we make sure we have plenty on thestreets to respond to those calls for service and we do rely on thosepartnerships with the county and of course PSU," said Hulvey.
PSU has a written memorandum with thecity that allows campus officers jurisdiction outside the campus limits, meaning campus police officers have theauthority to act as city officers.
"It allows us outside of campus properand into surrounding neighborhoods where there is high student population andthings like that," said Pittsburg State University Police Chief MikeMcCracken.
In September a special election willbe held for a proposed half-cent sales tax, the tax will go towards hiring morepolice officers, plus technology for the police department.
"The half-cent sales tax is critical to us I trulybelieve it would change the landscape for what we're doing here, and allow usto respond to those social and crime programs in a new way," said Hulvey.

A married couple was shot at their home in Wilton early Monday morning.
Police were called to the home on Gruman Avenue around 8 a.m. and upon arrival, officers found Charles Garcia, 47, and Michelle Garcia, 39, suffering from gunshot wounds.
Both were transported to Norwalk Hospital. Charles Garcia has life-threatening injuries, while Michelle Garcia is expected to recover from her injuries, according to police.
The Garcias are married and were living together at the time of the shooting, according to their landlord. The couple, which has two high-school aged children, has been renting the residence on Gruman Avenue for the past two years.
According to police, Michelle Garcia was shot and ran to a neighbor's house where she called 911. Charles Garcia was found in the home after being shot.
The couple's two children were already at school when it happened. The children were told about what happened by the school resource officer.
The shooting is under investigation. No charges have been filed at this time.
"We're doing a search warrant to be able to go back into the home and do evidence collection at this point," said Wilton Police Chief Michael Lombardi.
Police are not saying what exactly occurred at the residence. Police told Eyewitness they are not looking for any suspects and are calling the shooting domestic.
The couple's landlord told Eyewitness News he's never heard of any problems with them.
According to records, there was an illegal firing of a gun at the Garcias' former residence.
A rifle was recovered from the home and is believed to be the weapon that was used in the shooting.
The neighborhood where Monday's shooting happened was caught off guard by something like this.
"I would say I am shocked," said one resident, who wished not to be identified. "This neighborhood is really quiet."
