TauRx Therapeutics-- New treatment halts progress of Alzheimer's disease

clipped from alzheimersreadingroom.blogspot.com The results of the Phase 2 study of TauRx's new treatment strongly suggest that it is possible to halt progression in mild and moderate Alzheimer's. TauRx is continuing to refine its treatment and hopes that restoration may be possible at least at the earlier stages with improved versions of its drug. Tangles are already destroying nerve cells in parts of the brain critical for memory in people in their fifties and upwards. The ultimate goal is to develop a product that is convenient for patients that could be widely used at the very earliest stages of the disease, long before patients experience the first symptoms of Alzheimer's.

Oprah Crashes Her Own Web Site

clipped from blogs.wsj.com Add Oprah to the list of celebrities who don’t read the Business Technology Blog. If she did, the TV star would have known to check with her tech department before posting an online video that crashed her Web site. On Monday night, Oprah and Eckhart Tolle, author of “A New Earth,” hit cyberspace in a heavily promoted event intended to help fans transcend their egos and reach new states of spiritual happiness. Cyberspace hit back: More than 500,000 people tried to watch the Webcast, overwhelming the equipment that runs Oprah’s site. Viewers’ screens froze; some saw a message explaining the site was experiencing technical difficulties. Oprah’s production company put out a press release calling the Webcast “one of the largest single online events in the history of the Internet” and apologizing for not being prepared.

Assisted living costs for Alzheimer's patient is tax deductible

clipped from www.usatoday.com Q: My mother just went into an assisted living facility due to Alzheimer's. It costs over $4500 per month. Are any portion of these expenses tax deductible? Answer from AICPA member Kenneth J. Strauss: Sorry about your mother but the good news is that the entire $4,500 is fully tax deductible as a medical expense. The rules can get pretty complicated but it is clear that Alzheimer's disease is a severe cognitive impairment which is the threshold for determining if the taxpayer is entitled to a full medical deduction. Like all medical deductions the total amount of medical deductions is an itemized deduction. The medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of her adjusted gross income are deductible. Depending on how high her income is will determine the full tax benefit. This might be a year to take some extra money from her retirement account. If your mother does not have the resources and you or another family member is paying then you should see if your mom can qualify as a dependent.

Do Parts of Ohio and Texas Not Count?

Follow the link to the complete text of this interesting article.

clipped from blogs.wsj.com In Texas and Ohio, where the latest polls suggest close races between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton today, 334 pledged delegates are at stake. But by the reckoning of some political analysts, voters selecting 142 of these delegates are rendered irrelevant by the Democrats’ primary rules, because they’re likely to be split down the middle among the two candidates. That’s because these delegates will come from the 19 districts in Texas and the 12 in Ohio that have an even number of delegates up for grabs. Slate’s Christopher Beam wrote to California Democrats before their primary that “there’s a good chance your district won’t count.” Adds Michael Barone, in U.S. News & World Report, “Nobody seems to have thought through the consequences of having allocated so many districts an even number of delegates

John McCain, has lobbyists as top aides and "many of them have been running their business on the campaign bus while they've been helping him."

Foreclosures

clipped from blogs.wsj.com Alan Blinder and Lawrence Summers both wrote about the problems the economy faces from foreclosures and the possible solutions Blinder looks at the possibility of reviving the New Deal-era Home Owners’ Loan Corporation. “The HOLC was established in June 1933 to help distressed families avert foreclosures by replacing mortgages that were in or near default with new ones that homeowners could afford. It did so by buying old mortgages from banks — most of which were delighted to trade them in for safe government bonds — and then issuing new loans to homeowners. in the Financial Times Summers proposes bankruptcy overhauls and more voluntary restructurings “Bankruptcy reform alone could, on some estimates, avert 500,000 foreclosures Proper support for voluntary restructurings involving interests in future appreciation should realize still greater benefits.”
