A new diagnostic procedure was discussed at the international Alzheimer's conference in Hawaii. First time in twenty-five years it would be updated. A write up on the decision is here. It's worth a read. Researchers are suggesting that Alzheimer's could start years before dementia sets in. Still a lot to learn about this troubling disease.

0 Haiti — update
Even though it's not in the news everyday, Haiti is still struggling to recover from the devastating earthquake. The Associated Press just did a very comprehensive piece on the problems that still plague the country and it's people. They write that "only 2-percent" of the rubble in the capital has been cleared making it all but impassable. And the number of Haitians in relief camps has "nearly doubled" to "1.6 million". Aid is still coming in but we can't forget the devastation and the efforts to rebuild the country. Please take a minute to read through this Associated Press story -- it will give you some insight as to how bad things still are. Thank you

Want to wish you and your family a happy fourth of July weekend. Hope you get some R&R with friends and family. And also want to say a sincere thanks to our Veterans, our troops and their families who sacrifice so much for our freedoms.
1 Make It Right — New Orleans
A while ago I posted about this TV show contractor, Mike Holmes, on one of my other blogs. He's the guy behind the show Holmes on Homes where he and his crew come in and fix renovations gone wrong for desperate homeowners. He says his mission is to make it right. Those are good words to live by. Well it turns out he's also involved in several charities through a foundation he started as well as helping in the recovery efforts in New Orleans. In particular in the lower 9th ward. He's certainly doing his part. Worth taking some time to review.
0 Memorial Day Rememberance
Teresa and I wanted to take a moment to offer our heartfelt wishes and appreciation to all the men and women serving in our armed forces today as well the Veterans and the soldiers that died protecting our freedom. All of whom deserve our thanks and gratitude on this solemn day of remembrance. Thank you all.
