FAIRFIELD (CBS13) – The night janitor at a Fairfield continuation school was reportedly duct-taped to a desk as two men stole about 40 iPads from the school.
The robbery happened at Sam Yeto Continuation School at 824 Washington St. The janitor, 50, was approached Wednesday night by two men, one armed with a handgun, Fairfield police said.
The suspects ordered the custodian to lie on the ground and threatened to kill him if he did not cooperate. Then they demanded to know where the school's iPad devices were stored, police said.
The custodian told them the location of the iPads and was ordered to direct the suspects to the location. They reportedly used duct tape to bind the custodian's hands and also used the tape to secure him to a desk. They then stole the school's iPads and fled on foot.
The custodian managed to free his hands enough to call the police and was found by arriving officers shortly before 10 p.m., still partially taped to a desk.
The suspects were described as black men in their 20s, both with medium builds. Both were wearing hooded sweatshirts and gloves.
The custodian was not injured. A check of the area for the suspects was conducted without success.
Police say this is the third time in the last four months the school's iPads have been targeted for theft but the first time armed intruders accosted a school staff member.

Ancient DNA that was discovered in a skeleton is casting doubt on previous theories of ancient humans, evolution and migration.
Skeletal remains of homo heidelbergensis found in the Sima de los Huesos ("Pit of Bones") cave in northern Spain is creating more questions than answers after analysis of its genetic material.

A new study out of Ohio State University shows there is a cyclical relationship between casual sex and mental health - poor mental health contributes do more casual sex, which leads to more mental health problems.
Some previous studies have already shown a correlation between mental health problems and casual sex. (Some studies have shown no correlation.) What was unknown, though, was whether those with poor mental health are more likely to engage in casual sex or if those who engage in casual sex are more likely to experience mental health problems.
The answer is both, according to the study, "Casual Sexual Relationships and Mental Health in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood," published in the October issue of the Journal of Sex Research: Those with mental health problems are more likely to engage in casual sex, and casual sex can contribute to additional mental health problems. more >>

Michael Golden VIP Print Available at Wizard World New Orleans Comic Con
January 26, 2011 by Brian Pate
Filed under Collectibles, Comic Books, Convention News, Louisiana
Press Release:
Laisse les bon temps rouler!
Michael Golden Art Part of VIP Pack for Wizard New Orleans!
New Orleans–The Paris of the South, The Big Easy, The Crescent City! Vampire Central! –New Orleans is known by many names… so let's add host city of Louisiana's biggest comic-con to 'em, as Wizard New Orleans makes a riotous debut in just a few weeks!
To make the event even more festive, renowned artist Michael Golden has been tapped by the folks at Wizard World to provide a limited VIP print for attendees at the show! Limited to 1,000 copies!
Michael first broke onto the comic scene working on such DC Comics titles as Mister Miracle and Batman Family. In 1978, he made a splash with his work on The Micronauts. He drew a number of Marvel series throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including Doctor Strange, She-Hulk, the Howard the Duck black-and-white comics magazine, and the highly lauded, The 'Nam, as well as G.I. Joe, ROM, Nomad, and The Saga of Crystar, Vigilante, Wonder Woman and far too much to mention here!
As a artist/writer/creator Michael Golden, is co-creator of the X-men's Rogue character, Spartan X and Bucky O'Hare" and is known worldwide for his groundbreaking story work, and is counted as one of the best cover designers and storytellers in the business.
"….unless you can actually draw yourself, it is very difficult to understand the exact mind-blowing impossibility of what he does," said writer/artist Larry Hama, of Golden's work.
"Michael blithely puts down on paper exactly what he sees in his head. It's like he's got a cosmic opaque projector that shoots a laser beam from his brain through the kundalini eye in his forehead straight down onto the drawing surface where all he has to do is trace it," continues Hama. "The result is hard-edged and fully realized in every way. No fuzzy impressions here. No using the side of the pencil. No squiggly space-filling lines blocked in on automatic pilot. To paraphrase Neal Adams (who was referring to Golden), there is not a single millimeter of line on the page that is not directed by conscious thought."
Recent books covering the colorful life and amazing art of Michael Golden include a Manga version of the "Bucky O'Hare" series, created with Hama, as well as the top selling art retrospective "Excess: The Art of Michael Golden," written by Renee Witterstaetter, which sold out and has gone into a second printing, as well as his recent sketchbook "Heroes and Villains," and the just released NEW sketchbook, "MORE Heroes and Villains." In addition, Woodcrest Productions/Eva Ink has also just released a two part candid DVD on Michael and his career, entitled "Creator Chronicles: Michael Golden," featuring an extensive interview and tutorial with the creator.
Michael has served as an Editor at DC Comics as well as Senior Art Director at Marvel Comics, and has worked on scores of movie production projects, some currently in development. His art has been the focus of gallery shows in places as diverse as Gijon, Barcelona, New York, Antwerp and Brussels, while his class on storytelling has been conducted from Spain to Brussels to France to Canada to the United States… and most recently China.
Be looking for future projects as well, including the upcoming "Spartan X Trade paperback!" And Michael's work on "Spawn 200."As well as some secret projects for IDW and DC Comics.
As part of the celebration for Wizard New Orleans, the special 11×17 print by Michael Golden will be available at his table in artist alley both days of the show! Just present your VIP badge. Remember: Limited to only 1,000 copies!! So don't delay getting those VIP passes, ya'll.
Wizard World New Orleans takes place January 29th and 30th at the Ernest M. Morial Convention Center. Guests from the world's of comic, film and television joining the line-up with Michael Golden at the show include: Steve Scott, Mark Texeira, Adam West, Phil Jiminez, Mike Grell, Bill Sienkiewcz, Arthur Suydam, Cameron Stewart, David Mack, Yanick Paquette, Rob Liefeld, Peter Tork, Tommy Castillo, Kevin Stokes, Billy Dee Williams, Renee Witterstaetter, and many more.
So, Laisse les bon temps rouler, and see you at the show!

Editor's Note: While this press release does not directly comment on the print publication Wizard Magazine, it would seemingly confirm today's Bleeding Cool story that Wizard Magazine is ceasing.
Press Release:
New York, NY (January 24, 2011) – Gareb Shamus, recently appointed President and CEO of public company Wizard World, Inc. ("Wizard World") (OTC: GOEE.PK), today announced that the Comic Con Tour, which consists of pop culture conference events that provide high visibility marketing opportunities to pop culture brands and companies in multiple venues throughout the year, is now being produced by public company Wizard World.

The Tour will include sponsors ranging from major movie studios and TV networks to gaming and toy companies to content publishers.
In addition, Wizard World plans to launch in February 2011 an all-new digital magazine called 'Wizard World' that will appeal to pop-culture fans, the same audience to which Mr. Shamus has catered to, for over 20 years. Wizard World digital magazine will provide coverage of the world of comic books, toys and superheroes, and the personalities behind them.
"This is a very exciting day for Wizard World and the industries it serves," said Shamus. "Having the Tour produced by a public company provides additional opportunities to expand and grow the Tour. The new digital magazine Wizard World will give consumers the content they want in a magazine format with which they are familiar, but distributed in a form that is always available at any time on any device. It is a natural evolution for us in this market."

About the book
Everyone knows the only thing more painful than relationships is not having them–or is it the other way around? Whatever, says author and cartoonist Nick Galifianakis. In his first book, If You Loved Me, You'd Think This Was Cute: Uncomfortably True Cartoons About You, he makes the case that either way, the only recourse is to embrace our frailties and laugh.
Taken from Carolyn Hax's nationally syndicated advice column, this compilation spins the pain of dating, mothers-in-law, "beneficial" friends and more into … the pain of self-recognition. The intricately drawn pen-and-ink panels and pointed captions explore some of life's most uncomfortable truths, exposing the humanity in our mistakes, the underbelly of our triumphs and the sheer heroism of trying and trying again.
Throughout this character study of men and women (and the dogs who love them), Galifianakis mines our hopes and insecurities for a unifying truth: If we can't laugh at ourselves, he'll do it for us.
"Nick snuck me into my first comedy club when I was only a back-acned teenager. The back acne went away but the comedy stuck. I know that last sentence sounds like a lyric from a Joan Baez song, but trust me, it's original." –Zach Galifianakis, from the foreword
"Nick's cartoons are funny, witty, and smart. But what makes them so special are how universal and true they are, making the laughs they bring all the more poignant. Relationships, in all their glory, have never been captured quite so succinctly and with such charm." –Amy B. Harris, writer/producer for Sex and the City
"Nick Galifianakis understands relationships unbelievably well, for a guy. My guess is he actually menstruates." –Gene Weingarten, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, Washington Post humor columnist

Though not officially on the agenda, the topic of parking took up a significant portion of the evening at as some two dozen folks signed up to speak on the issue during the public comment section of the evening.
One by one, West End business owners, residents and area supporters took to the podium to ask council to address the concerns regarding the .
While many commenters raised similar complaints about the new parking measures – the $1.50-an-hour parking fees and the $28 tickets – others mentioned overly-aggressive enforcement and limited times as issues of concern.
The new meters were installed along the four blocks that make up the business district of West Marshall Street in February of this year and council through a municipal ordinance. Some West End business owners have said they agreed to meters being used along West Marshall to aid with parking turnover, but never agreed to such exorbitant rates. (Similar communities like Ambler and Manayunk charge fifty cents an hour.) Council maintains that no one objected to the rates as they were being decided on and enacted in public meetings.
"These meters are absolutely killing the street," said business owner Dave Sereny. "The meters' prices are way too high."
Sereny, who had taken it upon himself to organize other local business owners when the meters first became an issue, pointed out that if the goal of parking regulations are meant to maintain an 85% occupancy rate and a 15% vacancy, then by his estimation Norristown has it backwards on the West End.
"I'm starting to see like 15% occupancy and 85% vacancy" said Sereny. "This past Friday at noon, at lunchtime on the 400 block, there was literally one car."
Pierre Long, owner of Hairzone on the 300 block of West Marshall, came to Tuesday's meeting to follow up a meeting he and other business owners had with several council members on the issue and while reiterating the concern over rates added he'd also like to see some changes made in the Poley Park lot nearby.
"I'm wondering if we can get something done as far as turning Poley Park into a four hour [parking lot]," said Long.
Long and several of his barbers mentioned that the meters have adversely affected their business, which they note often requires their customers to spend several hours in the shop.
Almost halfway through the comments, Municipal Council President Gary Simpson attempted to speed things along by submitting that council had heard these complaints and needed time to evaluate it's next move. Simpson asked that they be allowed to move on past the comment section, but many objected and insisted everyone be heard.
Commenters continued to take to the microphone and air their frustrations about the parking situation, but Mike Stevens, a King of Prussia resident who owns several properties in Norristown seemed to sum up the crowds wishes best.
"Do the right thing by these merchants," said Stevens. "Do the right thing by their customers. Do the right thing by the residents of Norristown so we can prosper... and get things going in the right direction."

A rising act in the world of Alternative Rock, Kongos have formed a distinct style with influences ranging from all different grounds. The band is composed of four brothers including Johnny, Jesse, Dylan and Daniel Kongos. Having endured life shaping steps moving from London to South Africa, and now to Arizona, the band is cultured from various different roots. With a collective South African inspired sound and a funky accordion beat, their songs have been rising to top the charts in the past weeks. They recently sat down with The Vera Project at Sasquatch! Music Festival 2014 to talk about their experiences on tour and at the fest.
Danyka: Tonight's your last night on tour, how long has the journey been?
Kongos: We've been touring since the middle of April, and we've got a few days off after Sasquatch. After that we've got a show in Tucson, then it's back on the road again until November. It's not our first US tour, but a very extensive one.
D: Have you guys played South Africa a couple of times? Has it been a stop on one of your tours?
K: Not this year, but 2012 was the last time that we played there. I'm not sure when we're going back, but definitely we're going back. But, we haven't played there since 2012.
D: How did you guys find your musical roots in Phoenix?
K: It is sort of isolated, you're out there on your own in the desert. We were able to sort of get into the studio and do our own thing, not be too influenced by what was going on in any particular scene in LA or New York, any of the music hubs of the world.
D: How has your Sasquatch experience been like? Has it been a different experience?
K: The crowd was great, festival crowds are always great because they're here to just see music and nothing else. It's different because you're reaching to a whole bunch of people, not just preaching to the choir. You're getting new fans, and people that are kind of open minded. I like playing festivals, although we had some technical issues. But, the crowd makes up for it.
D: What are some of your favorite bands right now? What was the last show you saw here?
K: Queens of The Stone Age. I'm bummed we're not going to be able to see them.
We just listened to the new Michael Jackson album. It's pretty good and I like it. Also, a band called Darkside that I just started listening to.
I listened to some old school Prince, Stevie Wonder, also Michael Jackson as well. I'm into those kinda grooves right now. Drum wise, there are some gospel drummers that I really like and are just killin' it.
D: What was it like moving from South Africa to Arizona?
K: We've been in the states for 17 years and we were all kids, so it was a parental choice. It wasn't much of a choice, and a bit of a culture shock. I think that most of world grows up more exposed to American culture rather than the other way around. So, you kind of know what to expect. We've seen all the teen movies.
D: What's your favorite teen movie?
K: I don't know about favorites, but I watched that movie "Kids" before I moved here. I don't know if you've seen "Kids", it's a f****ed up movie and I thought high school was going to be like that, and it wasn't.
D: They always sugar-coat it, high school.
K: No, this wasn't sugar-coated. It was the exact opposite of sugar-coating. Check it out, it's disturbing. Yeah, we all came prepared with letterman jackets and it just didn't work out.
D: Who's the favorite child? Who's the least favorite?
K: Depends on the day, whoever cooks that day. It's the same.
D: We're an all ages music venue, there's not many in Arizona. Why do you think all ages music is important?
K: Well, I'll tell you the difference between when you have younger kids at shows. They are generally more amped up and excited and because they aren't "too cool" yet to stand there. In South Africa, the drinking age is 18. So, you've 18 to 21 year-olds that you don't have at most shows in the states. I think that really helps it out. I don't know how all ages venues work in Seattle, but in Phoenix they are so segregated they're off on the other side of the bar and it just messes up shows. When they make it simple and give everyone wrist bands and everyone can stand together it makes for such a better vibe. Because, when you've got half the crowd in one part of the venue, no one can connect properly with the music. Half the people are drunk and half the people are stone cold sober.
D: What's been your favorite memory of this tour so far?
K: Indian food.
D: Where at? Good or bad?
K: Every city, every time we get a chance we go and get Indian food. Cause, a lot of times the venue will have catering or we'll just eat something quickly. But, when we have a day off and we can go find a restaurant, we really like it.
D: What city has had the best Indian food?
K: Nashville had great Indian food. St. Louis? No, we had Ethiopian food in St. Louis and Detroit, maybe. All I can say is, thank goodness for Indian food when you're traveling the Midwest.
The Vera Project is excited to announce the 12th annual drinking fundraiser A Drink for the Kids! Happening just in time to gear up for the best week of the summer, when the sun shines the longest and the cocktails are the most refreshing, we invite Seattle's 21+ music and arts loving community to support programs for all ages at the Vera Project just by drinking at their favorite neighborhood bars!
Vera is excited to welcome Tito's Vodka and local distillery 3 Howls as A Drink for the Kids' liquor sponsors, and welcomes back Eugene, Oregon's Ninkasi Brewery as beer sponsor.

By Shaun Mejia
Eugene Mirman has had an unconventional rise in the past few years. After moving from Russia to Massachusetts, he graduated from Hampshire College with a Bachelor of Arts in Comedy (the college offered a "choose your own major" program). From performing festivals and opening for bands like The Shins and Modest Mouse to starting his own comedy festival as a joke, Mirman has paved his own path in a career that spans over 20 years. While polishing his stand up, he landed small roles like Bret and Jemaine's landlord Eugene on Flight of the Conchords and Russian mobster Yvgeny Mirminsky in Delocated. Currently, he voices the character Gene on Fox's series Bob's Burgers, a kid who loves music as much as he loves farts. He is also involved with Cosmos host Neil Degrasse Tyson on a podcast called Star Talk. The Vera Project got a chance to talk to him at the Sasquatch Festival about why people at the Gorge have it together, possible alien life, and yelling jokes at an audience.
The Vera Project: Who are your biggest influences?
Eugene Mirman: I feel like I had people that I really loved growing up both comic and musicians. I really loved the comic Emo Phillips & the music of Robert Hitchcock and continue to enjoy both of them. Also, Steve Martin and Bobcat Goldthwait. There's also Lou Reed. I liked a lot of music that had sincerity and sarcasm and similarly comedy that was earnest and funny or silly and weird. There's a comedy duo called Coyle and Sharpe that did a lot of weird street pranks that were amazing. Yeah, that's a handful of artists.
TVP: Any advice for up and coming comedians?
EM: My advice to any comedians is to do it for a long time. A lot of it is tenacity and there's nothing that replaces trial and error meaning you get on stage and you try it and if something works you keep it and it if it fails you get rid of it and fix it. You do that for 10-15 years. For some artists, that's the process. There are very few acts that you go watch and make you laugh for half hour to an hour that people won't hire to do that. It's not like someone sees someone for a half hour, laughs a lot, and is like, "Too bad because I don't want to see that again." A lot of is tenacity, focus, and trial and error.
TVP: Are there any benefits to performing at a festival?
EM: The advantages are that people might happen upon you who normally wouldn't necessarily, but, in terms of an ideal environment, a club that is air conditioned and everyone is tightly packed in is probably preferable to a giant tent. The thing that was interesting about yesterday [his set at Sasquatch] is that the people were totally into it and there wasn't music that was too loud and everyone could hear me in the tent. As far as festival shows go actually, it was very pleasant for me and the audience. But when you do a festival you're always at the risk of noise pollution. I mean I'm yelling interviewing answers right now. The fun thing about festivals for me is I get to see comic friends I haven't seen in a while and we get to see a bunch of bands. I've done music festivals where I'm literally yelling stand up as a really loud band is playing. It's very easy to do an interview now, but if you were actually trying to be like, "SO I WAS IN A CAR DRIVING," you seem insane especially for an art form that is meant to be conversational. There's always that risk, but I think festivals are aware of that and coordinate that so everyone has a nice time. And Sasquatch seems to do that well.
TVP: What was your favorite festival you performed at?
EM: It's funny, one answer is partially Bumbershoot because it is a festival but you perform inside a theater with air conditioning and seats and there's zero noise pollution. That's also a festival in a city and you don't camp – not that I'm camping - and go to a hotel like SXSW. In general, it's all kind of the same. It's fun to see old friends and bands you like and nonprofit stuff like The Vera Project. It's funny because here it seems like people are not (laughs) fucked up. I've been to festivals where you're like, "Oh Jesus, you're dancing and there's nothing happening and your hands are covered in glowing paint and I hope you're safe." But here, it's like people clearly have had a lot of lime beer but seem pretty together and safe.
TVP: Your first few albums were released on popular Seattle labels Suicide Squeeze and Sub Pop. How did you get involved with them and do you hang out in Seattle a lot?
EM: I do somewhat. I'm recording my next record for Sub Pop in a few weeks in Seattle. My booking agent, Robin, who books a lot music and who I met over 10 years ago, hooked me up with David from Suicide Squeeze. That was a wonderful experience. Then Sub Pop put out my record after that. I met some people through Robin and David Cross so I knew about them for several years. I love working with them. They are a combination of the sweetest people and very up for fun interesting projects. In general, all the stuff I work on, from TV to standup, I mostly tour with friends and work on TV show with friends. It's important to work with people I like collaborating with or just being in business with.
TVP: Was there any connection with Flight of the Conchords, who also released albums through Sub Pop?
EM: I was on Sub Pop before Flight of the Conchords. I met them a long time ago in New York in Edinburgh. They used to play on my weekly show so I knew them before their show. They had written in people they knew that were American comics and casted me playing a weirdo version of myself.
TVP: Who are you excited to see at The Gorge?
EM: There's a comic Bridget Everett who's amazing. I'm excited to see Violent Femmes, Neko Case, Demetri Martin – oh wait, I'm not gonna see him but I get to hang out him so that's fine. We used to live in New York together then he moved to LA so it's fun to hang out. There's a bunch of others, but offhand without looking at the schedule, not bad.
TVP: What drew you into Bob's Burgers?
EM: Brendan Small and I were roommates when he got Home Movies and sort of knew Loren Bouchard [co-creator of Home Movies with Small, creator of Bob's Burgers] from Boston. When Bouchard did Lucy: The Daughter of the Devil, he cast me and John Benjamin so he cast everyone for Bob's Burgers. In terms of Gene, we recorded for 2 years this 8 minute demo and we kept tweaking and improvising it. And, to our surprise, Loren told us it got picked up. A lot of cartoons, you go into a studio and do your lines and leave, but this was very different for a cartoon. It's rare for an entire cast of a cartoon to record altogether but we do. So we spend a day together doing all the scenes together and get to improvise scenes. Sometimes we go back in and tweak more lines and the writers rewrite a little bit, but we do the essential meat of the script all together. It's so fun to work with Jon, Larry, Dan, Kristen and people always drop in. It is obviously a dream job of sorts.
TVP: How did you get involved with Neil Degrasse Tyson and Star Talk?
EM: We went to high school together. That isn't true, that would be fun to say (laughs). I taught him everything he knew about math! His producer came to a show that I used to do in New York and asked if I was interested in this thing Star Talk with Neil. A year later they reached out and asked if I wanted to meet with Neil. I thought it'd be like 20 mins but it turned into a 2-3 hours meeting and at the end of it, he was like, "Let's get a microphone and practice" and I was like "Okay!" So we recorded this thing in his office in front of four people and a few months later they called me and asked if I wanted to do it in a studio. Then at some point, I thought we should do this live. It'd be a fun live show and we did it a festival that me and my friends do as a joke called Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival. Neil's amazing and it's such a delight to work with him. And also when he's busy with Cosmos, Bill Nye the Science Guy fills in for him sometimes and Bill's a joy. Both are so passionate about science. It's a combination of education and comedy and it's one of the most joyous things I get to do.
TVP: Any cool space facts?
EM: Yeah I don't think it's live yet, but it was from one with Bill Nye in San Francisco Sketchfest. One thing that was real interesting is this guy from SETI, the institute that actually searches for alien life, says that in the next 25-30 years, he believes that we will get a signal from another civilization that is about as advanced as us. We're constantly aiming rays at space at things that we think are earthlike planets and based on something called the Drake Equation, which is the statistical look at the chances of a particular level of alien life, he believes in 25-30 years we'll get a signal from a world, which is kind of amazing. It's not that long from now. It would be almost impossible to reach that place and for them to reach us. The technology needed to reach a place like that would involve folding space and the energy of all the stars and it'd be insane. But to send a signal and receive a signal, not that crazy. That's maybe the most mind blowing thing - that there is a person whose real job is to look for alien life and believes a really reasonable thing based on a very specific algorithm. What's neat about Star Talk when you hear about weird conspiracy theories like Area 51, there's actually a science of how you travel through space or how you would go to another civilization. To travel light years is insane. So that is really fun.
TVP: Any upcoming shows to promote?
EM: I have a show in New York on June 5th with Neil Degrasse Tyson. I am recording an album in Seattle over three nights at Columbia Theatre on the 6th, 7th, and 8th. I think tickets are sold out for the first two, but there are some for the 8th. I think that's all for my shows. I am very excited to return to Seattle!

- Damien Cox of the Toronto Star: Cox doesn't think Phil Kessel fits with the Maple Leafs. Despite his ability to score 30 goals,
"He's no leader on a team still developing internal leadership. He's not combative or a fierce adversary. He doesn't bring size to the equation or pluck or two-way excellence."
Cox thinks the Leafs should look at trading Kessel. He has a $5.4 million cap hit, and will get a $5.1 million salary next year and $5.4 million in the last year of his deal.
- Josh Yohe of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Sidney Crosby will see time on the 1st power play unit with Evgeni Malkin. Crosby will play the point on some of the PP. Kris Letang is also expected back tonight.
- Helene St. James via twitter: Red Wings Nicklas Lidstrom suffered a bit of a setback. At yesterdays' morning skate,
"I was more sore today when I skated, so that's why I was out there for just a few minutes. It was more sore today." He has a deep bone bruise and there is still some swelling, no fracture.
On shutting things down for a bit:
"We've talked about it," he said. "I'm sure they'll talk more to the coaching staff and see what the next step will be, but it's still day-to-day. It's discouraging that I haven't started feeling better, as it's going on two weeks now."
- Dmitry Chesnokov via twitter: In a TV interview, Capitals prospect Evgeni Kuznetsov said he's staying in the KHL next season.
- John Vogl via twitter: Sabres Nathan Gerbe was scratched from last night's game with upper-body injury.
- Jim Matheson via twitter: A veteran pro scout on Blue Jackets Rick Nash, he loves his skill but "Does he make other people around him better?"
- Derek van Diest of the Toronto Sun: Blue Jackets Rick Nash won't talk about his trade request and why he wanted out of Columbus.Defenseman James Wisniewski on how it is has been in the dressing room after Nash's request came out last month,
"Our job is to go out there and play hockey," said Blue Jackets defenceman James Wisniewski. "We go out there to try and win hockey games. What happened behind the scene is his personal business and we support him as a person and as a player."
- Jeff Miller of the OC Register: Jari Kurri thinks that Teemu Selanne should keep playing,
"Everybody's really happy with what he's doing," Jari Kurri said. "Keep going. Why stop now?"
"I'm hoping he keeps playing," Kurri said. "Why stop? I know he wants to win. He wants to do well and he's playing well. I don't see any reason for him to stop."
- Dave Stubbs of the Montreal Gazette: Canadiens forward Scott Gomez will miss some time with a concussion. Gomez suffered the injury when he was hit by Sabres Tyler Myers, who was suspended for 3 games.
- Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune: (written on Tuesday) Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville on Jonathan Toews:
"it's part of the process. Some days are better than others, but he knows his body and we'll see how he is. Hopefully, we'll get him back on the ice (Wednesday) and things progress."
"Jonathan was excited when he was skating," Quenneville said. "He's still looking forward to getting back. Hopefully, it's going to be soon.

About Deep Brain Stimulation
This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.
What is Deep Brain Stimulation?
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure in which a brain pacemaker, known as a neurostimulator is implanted. The brain pacemaker delivers constant electrical impulses to particular areas of the brain.
The deep brain stimulation system comprises the following:
An electrode, which is a long, thin insulated wire placed in the brain
A neurostimulator, which is commonly implanted near the collarbone
An insulated wire that connects the electrode to the neurostimulator
A rigid frame is used to ensure that the electrode is correctly placed in the specific area of the brain. The patient may need to remain awake in the initial stage of the surgery to report any sensorial changes.
After it is connected, the neurostimulator sends electrical impulses through the extension wires to the electrode and into the brain. This helps in reducing certain symptoms of movement disorder and tremors.
What diseases are treated with DBS?
Deep brain stimulation is used to treat Parkinson's disease, Tremor and Dystonia.
It may not fully cure Parkinson's disease, but it decreases the severity of the symptoms.
How is a DBS Surgery Performed?
Deep brain stimulation surgery is usually done in two stages. In the first stage, the patient is usually awake under local anesthesia. The patient's head is placed in a rigid frame. Screws are used to fix the head to the frame. A small hole is drilled in the skull and the electrode is placed in the particular part of the brain. If the surgery needs to be performed on both parts of the brain, two holes are made on both sides of the skull and two electrodes are inserted. Small amounts of electrical impulses are sent over the electrode to ensure that it is properly connected to the specific area of the brain that is causing the patient's symptoms. Various neurological tests may be performed.
In the second stage of the surgery, general anesthesia is administered on the patient and the patient remains unconscious throughout the surgery. A small incision is made below the collarbone. The neurostimulator is implanted under the skin. In some cases the neurostimulator is placed in the lower chest area. Another incision is made behind the patient's ear. An extension wire is passed under the skin from the head, neck and shoulder. This extension wire connects the electrode to the neurostimulator. The incision is closed and the wires and the device are concealed inside the body.
What are the Pre-surgical Preparations for Deep Brain Stimulation?
The patient will have a physical examination.
The patient needs to do a CT scan and MRI scan to locate the specific region of the brain that causes tremors and symptoms of movement disorder.
The patient should inform the doctor about:
The patient's health conditions, such as pregnancy
Any medication that the patient is taking
Alcohol that the patient may be consuming
Some medications that the patient is taking may be stopped a number of days before the surgery.
The patient should avoid smoking.
The doctor may ask the patient's hair to be washed with a special shampoo on the night before the surgery.
Duration of procedure/surgery:
The duration of the surgery depends on the steps involved, which may vary. If two electrodes are inserted, then the duration is longer. Some surgeries could take approximately 5 hours or more.
Days admitted:
Approximately 3 days
- The first stage of the surgery is done under local anesthesia.
- The second stage of the surgery is done under general anesthesia.
- If the surgery is performed on children, both the stages
- The patient may be required to take antibiotics to prevent infection.
- The patient may need to visit the neurologist several times after the surgery to adjust the stimulation with the help of programming.
- The medications of the patient are adjusted after the surgery.
- The stitches or staples are removed in 7 to 10 days after the surgery.
There are several risks of deep brain stimulation. However, if it is performed on properly selected patients, it is safe and effective. The risks of deep brain stimulation are as follows:
- Allergic reaction to the implanted devices
- Concentrating problems
- Infection
- Cerebrospinal fluid leakage leading to meningitis
- Dizziness and balance loss
- Movement disability
- Vision and speech defect or disability
- Swelling of the surgical site where the devices are implanted
- Breakage or dysfunction of the implanted devices and wires
- Coma
- Brain swelling
- Stroke
- Seizures
After care:
- The incision area should be kept dry and covered, and should be changed according to the requirements.
- The patient's head can be washed using a damp cloth carefully avoiding the surgical region.
- The day after the stitches or staples are removed, the patient's hair can be washed gently.
- The patient should avoid scratching the surgical wound.
- Light activities, such as housework and sexual activity, should be avoided for 2 weeks after the surgery.
- Heavy physical activities, such as jogging and swimming, should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery.
- The patient should avoid lifting heavy objects for 2 to 4 weeks after the surgery.
- If the doctor permits, the patient may return to work in 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery.
- Some places may contain devices such as theft detectors, which may affect the neurostimulator that causes an uncomfortable sensation. The patient should always carry a medical identification card to request assistance to avoid such devices.
- A magnet will be provided to activate or deactivate the neurostimulator. This magnet may harm other devices like TV or credit cards. So the magnet should be kept away from these devices.
- The batteries of the pulse generator need to be replaced in 3 to 5 years. This can be done in an outpatient procedure.
If the following symptoms are experienced, the doctor should be contacted immediately:
- Fever
- Severe headaches
- Bleeding from the surgical area
- Infection or irritation in the incision area
- Vision impairment
- Nausea and vomiting
- Speech difficulty
- Weakness
- Numbness or a tingling sensation on a part of the body
