A new memory assessment technique could pave the way for earlier diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, the underlying cause of around 60% of dementia cases. The approach uses electroencephalography (EEG) to measure brain activity while participants watch flashing images on a computer screen. Current diagnostic tests for Alzheimer’s disease are not effective during its early stages, meaning that Alzheimer’s is typically only diagnosed late in the disease process.

If you heard about or even saw with your own eyes the Golden Ray cargo ship that capsized just south of Savannah almost two years ago, you probably know what a catastrophe it has been. While there were no lives lost, the impact the accident is having on the coastal waters of Georgia is not yet visible. The shipwreck lay on a sandbar in the water month after month while bureaucrats debated about what to do.

Yesterday , I introduced the CEQA lawsuits over UC Berkeley’s expanding enrollment and its potential impacts on the surrounding neighbor. Today, in my second post, I want to explore the implications of applying environmental review statutes such as CEQA to individual, small-scale decisions like university enrollment. The legal question at issue in the case was whether a university’s enrollment decisions – separate from any decisions about physical plant – are subject to CEQA.

Senate Bill 832 (Yaw-R-Lycoming) that would allocate $250 million from the federal American Rescue Plan Act to establish a Clean Streams Fund for Pennsylvania seems like a good bill. It will be considered by the Senate Environmental Committee on September 28. Read more here. But you have to look deeper. This bill includes a sneaky attempt to adopt a one-size-fits-all, bureaucratic state-run nutrient credit procurement program that has been promoted in one version or another by one company-- Bion
