Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy By Professional Advisory Board Member Katherine Nickels, MD When the diagnosis of epilepsy is given, there are many questions that are asked. "How long is medication going to be needed?" "Will the seizures go away?" "How will this affect work, school, or family life?" However, there is one question that is often thought, but not always discussed, "can a person die from epilepsy?" Overall, people with epilepsy are expected to get an education, work, have families and pursue other goals just like those without epilepsy. We do need to be aware that seizures can cause injuries such as cuts, bruises and broken bones. Seizures in a pool or bathtub can cause accidental drowning. Seizures while driving can lead to car accidents. Fortunately, severe injury due to a seizure is uncommon and some can be prevented. For example, people with epilepsy are cautioned to never swim alone and to shower rather than bathe. We also need to be aware that people with epilepsy are at increased risk for premature death. How big is this risk? In adults and children the mortality rate is 2-3.5 times that of the general population1. Why does this happen? Continued on page 4 www.efmn.org Epilepsy Minnesota | 3 How Common is the Nightmare? Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (Continued from page 3) Most often, the cause of death is not directly related to seizures. In the majority of children, it's the underlying neurologic disease that leads to early death. In fact, the mortality rate in children with normal learning and a normal neurologic exam is essentially the same as the general population . In adults, the most common causes of death 2 What can I do to decrease SUDEP risk? It is most important to have good control over seizures by having excellent medication compliance. If seizures are not well controlled, work with your physician to ensure all available therapy options have been discussed. Avoid seizure triggers like sleep deprivation and excessive alcohol consumption. Discuss SUDEP risks with your physician. Make sure those around you know what to do if you have a seizure. Shower rather than bathe and never swim alone. Currently, there are several devices on the market that aim to improve safety for people with epilepsy. These include seizure detection devices, anti-suffocation pillows, and monitoring for seizures at night. However, none are FDA approved medical devices and none have been shown to reduce the risk of SUDEP. More scientific evidence is needed. are the same as the general population - cancer, heart disease, stroke . Unfortunately, seizure related deaths can 3 also happen due to prolonged seizures (status epilepticus), seizure-related accidents (such as drowning) and SUDEP. What is SUDEP? Sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the sudden death of a person with epilepsy without any clear cause. The death is not due to a seizure-related accident or a prolonged life-threatening seizure (status epilepticus). We do not know why SUDEP occurs. Often, there is evidence of a seizure, but the seizure is no more severe than previous seizures. There are multiple theories being investigated, such as a possible heart rhythm disturbance, stopping breathing (apnea) or brain stem dysfunction. How often does SUDEP occur and who is at greatest risk? SUDEP occurs in approximately one in 1,000 people with epilepsy per year. There are no definite ways to predict who is at highest risk for SUDEP, but those with more frequent and poorly controlled seizures, especially generalized tonicclonic (grand mal) seizures do appear to be at greater risk. Other potential risk factors include not taking medications as prescribed, young adult (age 20-40 years) age, longer epilepsy duration and intellectual disability. Overall, SUDEP is 4 Where can I get more information? • SUDEP Institute www.efa.org • Making Sense of SUDEP www.makingsenseofsudep.org • North American SUDEP Registry www.sudep-registry.org • Partners Against Mortality in Epilepsy www.aesnet.org/pame/ • SUDEP Aware www.sudepaware.org 1 References the cause of death in up to 17% of people with epilepsy of all age, but the risk of SUDEP in children is very low. How can SUDEP be prevented? Even if all of these potential risks are avoided, SUDEP can still happen. It is important for care givers to understand that the epilepsy related death could not have been prevented. This point cannot be over emphasized to families and friends of victims of SUDEP. A.

I was so confused, I had so many questions. I kept hearing the word seizure. I thought. Why did I have one? Will I be okay? Will I have more? Little did I know this day was only the beginning of my battle with epilepsy. I was eleven years old when I was diagnosed with epilepsy and I had no idea what it was. I remember going to Mayo in Rochester, MN for blood work and testing on a regular basis. I had numerous electroencephalograms (EEG's) done. An EEG is a noninvasive test that observes the electrical signals happening in the brain, it detects seizures, and they (EEG's) scared me. I did not like getting those things attached to my head, it was uncomfortable. I had to sleep with those electrodes on, then I was woken up about after an hour and I had to look at a bright flashing light. I didn't like that either. After several EEG's and multiple blood samples, I was diagnosed with epilepsy and had to start taking medication. Once I started school, my teachers and peers were made aware that I had epilepsy. I was different and I felt ashamed; so I stopped taking my medication. Little did I know that was a bad idea... after being seizure-free for awhile, I had a grand mal seizure during a marching band competition. After that, I was having seizures more often, and I could not tell when I was going to have one. I remember having a seizure when I went swimming once, at my own birthday party, with my boyfriend, and multiple seizures at home. Because of my decision to stop my medication, without telling anyone, I had the consequence of having more seizures, more testing and more medication (not too mention my parents and family being upset with me). I started feeling bad for myself and I wanted people to pity me. I was ashamed of having this disease and I didn't like to talk about it. "I'll always have this disease no – one can help me and no one understands". I continued to live with that attitude, until I realized one day that feeling bad for myself was not going to cure my epilepsy. Wanting sympathy would not get me anywhere either. The only person that could prevent the seizures was me, so that is exactly what I did. I started taking my medication daily. If I had a seizure I would just get back up and start again. I decided to take control. I am now twenty three years old, a homeowner, married and have had from epilepsy for twelve years. I'm no longer ashamed, instead I like to focus on what I can do to help others. My mom once told me, when I was first diagnosed, that God wouldn't have given me epilepsy if I was not strong enough to control it. That is what I have to remember. Do not let epilepsy bring you down... something important that I realized was that epilepsy does not have a hold on me; I have a hold on it.

Giving Back In 1988, David Wasson made the decision to impact the lives of people with epilepsy in Minnesota and made a legacy gift to EFMN through his estate. Twenty-four years later on December 25, 2012, David passed away, but his legacy continues through his generosity. David built his home in Chanhassen in 1991 and was an ever-present fixture in his community, becoming close with his neighbors (who supported David when he had seizures). David was an eternal student, and here is an example of how his love of learning and his generosity combined to change a life: • This fall, a woman who was having difficulties passing her GED test contacted EFMN's Information & Referral service, which helped her get an accommodation for extra time to retake the test. She recently passed her GED test! EFMN is grateful for the generosity and legacy of David Wasson, and to ALL of our 2013 individual, corporate and foundation donors. Your generosity brings us closer to a world where people with seizures realize their full potential.

Meet the Ailing Animal's Best Friend
By Anne Neville
Their patients can't tell them what hurts, so veterinarians must develop perceptive observation abilities to diagnose the ills of their four-legged, winged or finned clients.
The 2008 version of the popular Mini-Vet School, sponsored by the Niagara Frontier Veterinary Society and the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, will give animal lovers a glimpse into the techniques of 10 practicing local veterinarians who work with everything from greyhounds to giraffes, from fish to feral cats.
The Mini-Vet School, an outgrowth of UB's Mini-Medical School, has been offered since 1997.
"This is really meant for anybody who is interested in animals, the good health of their pets, or trying to understand the human- animal bond and the relationships between people and animals," said Nancy A. Fredrickson, who is administrator for the Niagara Frontier Veterinary Society.
"I have attended every session [of the Mini-Vet School], and I plan to attend this year, too," said Pamela M. Rose, Web services and library promotions coordinator for the UB Health Sciences Library, who is also on the advisory board for the Mini-Medical School.
The classes draw everyone from young people to seniors, and include people who work or volunteer with animals or just want to understand their own pets.
"These classes are popular with people who volunteer for rescue organizations, but if you have a cat or a dog, you might go for your own information," said Rose. "They've always had a pretty packed house."
The topics change annually, said Fredrickson, except for the session on zoo animal medicine, which is held every year because it's "a real crowd-pleaser."
"There are so many topics available that it's difficult to get it down to something that is well-balanced," she said. "We may repeat a topic every three or four years, but we try to keep it fresh too."
For example, she said, "This is the first year we're having a class on horses. A lot of people have been asking for that, and we never realized there was such a big demand for that. Dentistry is always a fairly hot topic too."
All sessions of the school cost $50, but this year students will be allowed to sign up for a single class for $20.
"This is the first year we've offered that option," said Fredrickson. "Requests have been coming in from people who say they're just interested in what's happening at the zoo or want to learn about their cat or another single topic."
Rose said the class allows local veterinarians to share their expertise.
"Here you are, coming to a first-class university, the cost is cheap, you're getting area vets who specialize in this," Rose said. "And all the people who do this volunteer their time — they're not paid."
e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
>Class schedule
The Mini-Vet School meets from 7 to 9 p.m. on five consecutive Thursday evenings starting this Thursday in Butler Auditorium, Farber Hall, on UB's Main Street campus.
All sessions of the school cost $50; a single class costs $20. To register, call 829-2196 or visit www.smbs.buffalo.edu/minimed.
Those who attend all the classes will receive a certificate noting that they have completed 10 hours of veterinary science studies.
The classes are:
Thursday: "Holistic Medicine: The Whole Picture" by Dr. Cynthia Lankenau and "Wild and Wonderful Felines: Feral Cat Issues" by Dr. Kathy Makolinski.
Oct. 9: "Dentistry: The Perfect Smile" by Dr. David E. Hansen and "Equine Medicine: Horsing Around" by Dr. Jeanne Best.
Oct. 16: "Surgery: Under the Knife" by Dr. Jim Fingeroth and "Anesthesia: Comfortably Sleeping Through It" by Dr. Robert M. Stein.
Oct. 23: "Becoming a Veterinary Professional: Dreaming of a Career With Animals" by Dr. Stephanie Westerman and "Emergency Care: Quick, My Pet Needs Help" by Dr. Liane O'Hora.
Oct. 30: "Aquatic Medicine: Nemo's Health — It's in the Water" by Dr. Ed Latson and "Zoo Medicine: From Anteaters to Zebras" by Dr. Kurt Volle.

Crimson Trace Laser Grips were designed with self defense in mind. Under duress, even skilled shooters will have a diminished capacity for accuracy, which makes them less effective at protecting themselves, and may cause them to be more dangerous to innocent bystanders. Take the guess work out of your shooting by adding a laser sight by Crimson Trace to your pistol, revolver or long gun! You need every advantage over an attacker. As many crimes happen at night, those carrying a pistol for self defense are forced to shoot in low light conditions. It can be very difficult to accurately aim a pistol in such situations. The added accuracy, higher target acquisition speed and extreme ease of use from a laser sight will keep you firing on target. Crimson Trace Laser Grips are on sale and we offer free shipping with each order over $49. If you have any questions about which laser sight will fit your firearm be sure to get in contact with us and one of our product specialists will ensure you select the right item.
Crimson Trace Lasers are easy to install. In most cases the gun owner can use a screwdriver and quickly add the sight to their side arm. While a laser sight certainly improves your performance, it also adds to your intimidation factor, making would be attackers think twice before messing with you. It's one thing to have someone point a gun in your general direction. It's a whole other thing to see a red dot in the middle of your chest, right where the shot will go. Crimson Trace Laser Grips are super easy to use - many models have a simple pressure switch on the handle, so that when you hold the gun the laser turns on, but if it's holstered the laser turns off to prolong battery life.

Scientists look to ultrasound for control of blue-green algae
By Ben Coxworth
July 12, 2010
Blooms of blue green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, are not something you want occurring in your water system. When ingested, the microorganisms can cause rather unpopular reactions such as headaches, stomach aches, fever, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Oh yes, and they can also kill people, not to mention livestock and wildlife that unsuspectingly drink from affected lakes and rivers. Fortunately, researchers at Australia's University of Adelaide may be on the way to a green (as opposed to blue-green) method of controlling the problem: low-frequency ultrasound.
Blue-green algae is currently eliminated with chemicals such as copper sulphate, which most of us would prefer not having pumped into our waterways, if at all possible. Laboratory tests, however, have shown that ultrasound is also effective. "We know it works but we don't yet know the best frequencies, amplitudes and duration for the most effective, economic and efficient process," said chief investigator Dr. Carl Howard.
Whatever those optimum frequencies are, they will apparently be low ones. While high-frequency ultrasound is currently used to treat raw sewage, if used on cyanobacteria it breaks down their cell walls, thus releasing their toxins into the water. "The novel part of our solution is that we will be using ultrasound at low amplitudes where it immobilizes the blue-green algae without releasing its toxins into the water and with lower energy input," Dr Howard explained.
The U of A team have just started their research, which will take the form of a three-year collaboration with various Australian water industry organizations. Ultimately, they envision ultrasound generators mounted inside large underwater columns, which would treat the water as it flows past.
I find this information confusing because I used to pay good money for, and regularly take, blue-green algae capsules! They are said to better for people than even the most touted of vegetables-broccoli! And since I have never liked green, leafy vegetables, the supplement was a Godsend to me. I never got sick, or had any wierd side effects from them. Unfortunately, I can no longer afford such luxuries, and that is very sad, a I still cannot stomach most vegetables!Facebook User

Article Summary
While modern in car satnav systems can draw on real-time traffic congestion data and suggest alternative routes for drivers to avoid high traffic areas, Honda has taken a different approach to try and minimize the potential for traffic jams. The company has developed new technology designed to detect whether a person's driving is likely to create traffic jams and encourage them to drive in such a way as to keep traffic flowing.

From Barnes & NobleThe Barnes & Noble Review
Londoner Ali Kingston, wife and mother of three, is tired -- tired of bashing out chicken nuggets and frozen lasagna for the family every night, and tired of humoring her boss, a second-rate interior designer. No wonder she responds to a compliment from a handsome young street artist and takes a day off with him. But when Ed, Ali's husband, finds out about her momentary lapse of reason, he blows the whole thing out of proportion and kicks her out of the house. The events of Ali and Ed's new lives -- hers with a 23-year-old and his mates, his with two younger women in the picture -- and their eventual return to their senses make up the heart of this novel about midlife temptation. Carole Matthews, whose previous novel For Better, for Worse was a "Reading with Ripa" book club selection, serves up another funny, assured romantic comedy with A Minor Indiscretion. Ginger Curwen


text:
There is perhaps no extended universe with more depth, expanded mythology and plotlines than that of Star Wars (and yes, I am including the Star Trek books Shatner co-authored in order to bring Kirk back to life for some reason). So now that Disney has its mouse paws gripped firmly around the galaxy far, far away, it's not that strange a guess to assume that they may look into the countless novels, series and comic books to search out an appropriate plotline to serve for the proposed sequel trilogy which will begin with Episode 7 in 2015.
There are many considerations and directions Disney could take for this new installment. They could go the direct sequel route, with events taking place in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor and the destruction of the second Death Star. If that were the case it would require re-casting the roles of Luke, Leia and Han Solo. Is that entirely a bad thing? I could kind of care less about who plays the others, but come on, Harrison Ford is Han Solo. Would you ever want to see someone else playing that role?
But the most famous Star Wars EU storyline has come from Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy, beginning with 'Heir to the Empire.' While the main thrust of the story is bureaucratic in nature (Oh, hello worst part of the prequels), with the last of the Empire being thwarted and the beginnings of the New Republic starting to form, it also introduces Mara Jade as the future Mrs. Luke Skywalker and Grand Admiral Thrawn, one of the most well-received villains of the post-Jedi stories. It's also a little light on the Jedi training and force stuff, which might be a welcome meal after all the 'younglings' nonsense of the prequels. Again though, this would require recasting some of the most famous roles in film history and I'm not sure I'm ready for Gerard Butler to play Han just quite yet.
'The Hand of Thrawn' is another possibility. Attack of the Clones was one of the most flubbed love stories in movie history. The relationship of Anakin and
Padme, I mean Queen Amidala, I mean Senator Amidala was so forced and ill conceived that it reminded me of when I used to take my sister's Ken and Barbie dolls and just smush their formless genitals up against one another. So if Disney wanted to try their hands at a Star Wars love story again, 'Hand of Thrawn' could be the story to use, letting romance blossom between (again, re-cast) Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade.
Then there's 'The Jedi Academy' series, detailing Luke Skywalker's early attempts at establishing a new Jedi Order. This series takes place almost a decade after Jedi which could mean that re-casting Luke Skywalker might be acceptable as he would've aged a bit from Episode 6 and as he would be seen in a different incarnation, it might not be so blasphemous. If the re-establishment and training of the Jedi is the story Disney wants to tell, then they can also adapt 'I, Jedi', which occurs during the same time period as the former, but casts a new student with his own story and personal agenda as the forefront of the plot and Luke Skywalker is featured, but more in the background.
More likely though, the inevitability will be that Disney chooses to go with adapting a form of 'The Legacy of the Force' series, with Han and Leia's children Jacen, Jaina and Anakin, as well as Luke and Mara-Jade's son Ben. This is clearly the Twilight version of Star Wars, with plenty of roles for sulking emo actors with Robert Pattinson's haircut and Kristen Stewart's sour puss. But there's also plenty of lightsaber battles, family betrayal and a climactic fight between brother and sister. It also takes place decades after Jedi which would mean that Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher could potentially reprise their roles as they'd be age appropriate.
Or of course Disney could very well just start from scratch with a truly original story featuring characters we've never seen before or new stories featuring fan favorites. But with a 2015 release date penciled in, it probably won't be too long before the first tidbits of plot begin to fall.

Letters: 'fiscal cliff'
As you know better than I, this situation is untenable and will send us down the road Greece and other European countries have taken.
Since he has no more elections to lose, Obama seems to be brimming with arrogance and fears no political repercussions. He uses the Fiscal Cliff as a weapon and assumes, because all Congressional members must stand for re-election, they are afraid to challenge him.
I say to hell with the Fiscal Cliff! Falling off may be no worse than following the path of Obama's tax and spending spree and it just might bring the whole political system to a point where some reasonable economic decisions can be made.
I beseech you and other elected representatives to stand up to the Obama philosophy. You can be sure millions of us will support your courage, wherever that takes us. If our founding fathers could sacrifice their lives, liberty and sacred honor to build this country, surly we can fight to keep it from going under. – Carl K. Sycks, Carlsbad
Obama is driving the car of state. It is his to avoid going over the "cliff." What kind of leader who controls the Senate and the executive branch would let Republicans in the House of Representatives derail the economy and punish the middle class when this might be what they want him to do?
Blaming Republicans later for the consequences of him driving off the "cliff" will not hurt Republican elections for four years but will have devastating consequences for America in the interim. – Cliff Lindroth, San Diego
President Obama's presidency is the final liberal straw.
Liberal-progressive presidents are responsible for the rise in government growth, contrary to the dictates of the Constitution. Indeed, government growth and abuse of power began with the presidencies of Theodore Roosevelt, continued with Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, then Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, both of whom are directly responsible for the housing crash and financial meltdown.
Then comes President Barack Obama with a liberal-progressive vengeance in his first term with a Democrat Congress that threw fiscal borrowing and spending restraint to the wind with a wasted trillion-dollar stimulus bill, and yearly trillion-dollar deficits that sent the national debt soaring from $10 trillion to over $16 trillion – stemmed only by spontaneous tea party voter revolt resulting in Republican control of the House of Representatives.
But not before President Obama and his Democrats rammed through the enormous, costly and needless "Unaffordable Healthcareless Act," and the Dodd-Frank financial disaster laws – as if their culpability in the housing crash wasn't enough. Then, of course, Mr. Obama' monarchal edicts are elevated with over 6,000 more regulations and continuing his war against affordable energy and energy independence.
Surely, the "fiscal cliff" is meaningless to President Obama and Democrats, who extended the Bush tax cuts rather than making them permanent and intend to raise taxes beyond merely letting the tax cuts expire January 2013, which, coupled with the coming costs of "Obamacare" will decimate businesses, jobs and the middle class.
Alas, America has already been deceived, betrayed and pushed off the "fiscal cliff." Hard landing, dead ahead. – Daniel B. Jeffs, Carlsbad

Party veterans urge central leadership to plug loopholes immediately
NEW DELHI: The Congress's woes are far from over. Come Friday, and their plight is expected to get worse as results of the Himachal Pradesh election start coming. Nobody of any consequence in the party is giving it even a ghost of a chance to retain power in the state.
For a party still reeling from the effects of the rout in Gujarat, the loss of power in Himachal is bound to add to its troubles. Morale is at a low, the AICC leadership appears dispirited and senior Congress leaders are worried that if remedial measures are not taken soon enough, the party could be headed for serious trouble.
Congress heavyweights external affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee and human resource department minister Arjun Singh are reported to have hinted as much at Monday's introspection meeting called by party chief Sonia Gandhi. At the meeting, Mukherjee is said to have expressed concern at the party's inability to come up with a strategy to counter the stridency of Modi. Singh felt that the party would have do some hard thinking and come with an effective strategy.
True to Congress tradition, nobody in the party is willing to speak about the subject on record, but privately several people point to the fact that little has been done by the leadership to work on the inadequacies in the organisation. "Our organisational weakness is nothing new.
Even the top leaders know it. But why was nothing done about it. We just wasted the past three years that we have been in power," said a Congress veteran.
Even in the context of Gujarat, questions are being raised about why the AICC dithered in appointing a PCC chief for the past three years. "Modi was planning for this election for the past five years. We started only a year ago," said a Gujarat based leader.
There is a major section in the party, which feels that if the party hopes to do well in the general elections — due a year from now — the central leadership needs to act fast to plug the loopholes. "We can no longer wish away our problems. Unless we recognise our weaknesses and apply the correctives we will continue to suffer," said an AICC veteran.

Juliet Stevenson to star in BBC's Greek myths drama Atlantis
Wednesday 27 March 2013
Mark Addy and Juliet Stevenson are to head the cast of BBC1's family fantasy series Atlantis, which is to be screened later this year.
The show - which also features former Cutting It actress Sarah Parish - is expected to be screened as a new Saturday night attraction in the wake of popular series Merlin ending.
The 13-part drama series will be set around the great lost city and will re-imagine the wealth of Greek myths and legends.
Addy, who starred in The Full Monty and played Fred Flintstone in a Hollywood version of the children's cartoon series The Flintstones, said: "The scripts bring to life ancient myths with such a vibrancy and sense of humour - I knew I wanted to be a part of it."
Stage and screen star Stevenson said: "This genre is new to me, so I am looking forward to a great adventure."
Also appearing in the series are Jemima Rooper - known to viewers for TV's Hex and Lost In Austen - as well as Robert Emms, Aiysha Hart and Jack Donnelly.
The programme team is constructing the set for the city at sites in Wales and Morocco, and filming is due to begin next month.
BBC drama boss Ben Stephenson said: "Some of the UK's best loved actors are joining our newest talent to take the BBC1 audience to a rich and wonderful world where any adventure is possible."

Latin, Jazz Sounds Merge in Hands of Mambo King
By DEBORAH RAMIREZ
By Deborah Ramirez
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Nine-time Grammy winner Eddie Palmieri has reigned as a true mambo king for 50 years, absorbing the sounds of Puerto Rico and New York into his particular fusion of salsa and jazz.
Yet Palmieri rarely uses the word "salsa" – a misnomer, in his opinion – to describe what he does.
"Unfortunately, the term was created to generalize all these great dance rhythms that have their own proper names – mambo, chachacha, rumba, guaguanco, yambu, guaracha, danzon," said Palmieri, 72, from his home in Queens, N.Y. "All lumped into one word, salsa, to make it easier to commercialize."
Palmieri, who performs Saturday at the Norfolk Latino Music Festival, has helped commercialize and revolutionize Latin dance music.
A pianist, composer, arranger and bandleader, Palmieri drew inspiration from the mambo kings who came before him: Machito, Mario Bauz, Tito Rodrguez and Beny More, to name a few. Together with his older brother Charlie (also a pianist), Eddie took Afro-Cuban rhythms, already influenced by big-band American jazz, to a higher level.
The Palmieri brothers, who were born in Spanish Harlem a few years after their parents migrated from Puerto Rico, helped pioneer a new Latin urban sound, which included the trombone and jazz piano solos, and gave birth to the salsa revival of the 1970s.
After Charlie died in 1988 and the salsa craze faded, Palmieri settled into the role of respected Latin jazz master. In 2007, he earned his ninth Grammy for the recording "The Brian Lynch/Eddie Palmieri Project: Simpatico."
But he's still a rumbero at heart, carrying on a legacy that began with African slaves beating their tambores, or drums, on Caribbean plantations.
"The drum was never allowed in the United States "But the drum was brought into the Caribbean, where it evolved and developed, particularly in Cuba. Cuba influenced the rest of the Caribbean and the world. And then the orchestras in New York helped make this the most popular music in the world to dance."
Palmieri isn't disturbed that reggaeton is driving more young Latinos to the dance floor these days.
"People said the same thing about boogaloo," a 1960s fusion of Latin music and American doo-wop. "The kids always have their favorite music that is popular at a certain time, but our genre of dance music certainly has the ability to withstand anything at any time.
"As long as someone is playing the drums, Latin dance music will continue."
And in Palmieri's case, as long as he's playing the piano.

GTA is one of the worst things to happen to video games to date. I won't blame video games for the worlds problems, but there should be some kind of moral line. That game does nothing but breed violence and distain for humanity as a whole. I just feel that anyone who enjoys spending hours driving around shooting people, picking up hookers f^ing them, killing them and robbing them afterwards has some issues and should focus that energy internally, learn to love themselves, and others. All it does is desensify* people to the things that should disgust a healthy heart and mind.
I vote two thumbs down to GTA .
JWG go back to your.. "How to raise a pony" game
GTA is a religion, infidels!
yea I thought the same
oh come on JWG you can`t believe that, its just mindless fun. Video games and reality are two separate things, you don`t need to carry the same morality to a video game as you do in real life!
JWG .. would be better IF we all get on the streets and do it in real?
thats the thing, you can do what you want and nobody is worry about
I go now and play a round vice city on my old dusty xbox
I can't wait Age of Conan – Hyborian Adventures
I played every version of GTA from the beginning, and it's only fun, nothing immoral in that. I didn't killed anybody (yet).
ya yesterday , i crossed the street over and over because i played frogger…
its awesome, not had chance to check out the online side of things but single player is awesome
JWG .. would be better IF we all get on the streets and do it in real?
thats the thing, you can do what you want and nobody is worry aboutI go now and play a round vice city on my old dusty xbox
"do what you want", thats the problem. People should not "want" to do these things.
I said, not everyone is effected the same. But all in all, there is nothing positive that comes out of it.

. "We're a health care organization and this is a health care issue, so we believe we should support our staff by offering this service at no cost." The free vaccinations are available from October 1 through March 31 each year.
According to Silliman, staff is the most likely source for bringing the flu virus from the community to the Kindred facilities. "Our patients are at high risk," she says. "Many of them are immunosuppressed. Many have comorbidities. It's easy for them to catch the flu. If a staff member's child comes home with the flu and the staff member hasn't been vaccinated, that staff member can catch it and spread those germs to our patients before they realize they are sick. Staff members who aren't vaccinated can also catch the flu from patients or other non-vaccinated employees and take it home to their families. By getting as many people vaccinated as possible, we're decreasing the risk of more people spreading the flu and getting sick."
On November 29, TEDMED, a multidisciplinary community of innovators and leaders dedicated to creating a better future in health and medicine, held a panel discussion via webcast titled The Caregiver Crisis. Members of the panel included upper-level management from the Center for Long Term Care Research & Policy, the National Family Caregivers Association, the Case Management Society of America, the Families and Health Care Project, and CarePlanners. This thought-provoking discussion raised many points:
Kindred's leadership has been discussing these and related issues in other forums as well. Said Sean Muldoon, MD, MPH, FCCP, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer for the Kindred Healthcare Hospital Division: "We have talked about caregivers taking increasingly greater roles in care in the last few days prior to discharge from post-acute care."
Good hand hygiene is critical in preventing the spread of influenza. All employees should perform hand hygiene before patient contact; after patient contact; after contact with blood, body fluids, or contaminated surfaces (even if gloves are worn); before invasive procedures; and after removing gloves. "All of our hospitals have alcohol-based gel in the hallways and in the patient rooms to make it easy for staff, patients and visitors to practice good hand hygiene," says Sheila Fletcher, Infection Prevention and Control Clinical Specialist in Kindred's Hospital Division.
Most Kindred facilities use "Secret Shoppers" to make sure employees are following hand hygiene protocols. "Secret Shoppers are volunteers who monitor physician and staff hand hygiene practices," says Fletcher. "They are encouraged to step in and speak up if they see someone who fails to perform hand hygiene or is not doing it appropriately."
Providing 24-hour care to a loved one is a difficult job, and caregivers are often so focused on taking care of their family member that they don't take time out for themselves. November is National Family Caregiver Month, which is a good time to remind family caregivers that they need an occasional break. Kindred provides short-term respite for caregivers who need a few days, or even a few weeks, off. "Patients who are brought to our facilities for respite care are given a private or semi-private room in our rehab suite," says Zachary Ballard, Admissions Coordinator for Kindred Nursing and Rehabilitation -Bashford. "We provide nursing care, along with comfort and support, to the patient until he or she is able to transfer back to the home environment."
November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a time to recognize those who care for our patients at the end of life's journey. Kindred's hospice program utilizes a team approach that includes nurses who provide case management and hands-on care, home health aides who help patients with activities of daily living, social workers who help with community resource needs and social support, and spiritual care coordinators who support the patient and family through prayer and other types of spiritual support. "We also have volunteers who visit with patients and sometimes provide respite for family members," says Kristina Basicker, Director of Operations, PeopleFirst Home Care & Hospice.
Invited speaker Seth Kahan, author of the book "Getting Change Right: How Leaders Transform Organizations from the Inside Out," challenged Clinical Impact Symposium participants to take the experience of the last two days back to their own facilities and use it to effect positive change.
Mr. Kahan described four stages of transformation, beginning with what he labeled "the call." This could be something like a sudden promotion, a new opportunity, the illness of oneself or a family member, or, in this case, the decision to attend the symposium. The threshold stage, said Mr. Kahan, is the point when a person crosses from the normal reality to the reality of the ritual – arriving at the hotel, checking in, the adjustment of the mind to the process. "Time out of time." The transition to a place where we have permission to have long conversations about topics we care about, and think deeply about things we normally might not have time to think about, Mr. Kahan said.
Timeliness. Legibility. Objective terminology. Those are just some of the features of SmartTX mobile technology, which made its debut in the RehabCare Division in September, 2012. The patient care tracking application can be used on Apple iPads, iPhones and iPods, which are provided to employees using the technology. SmartTX was demonstrated on the iPad mini at Kindred's fourth Clinical Impact Symposium – Care Across the Continuum.
SmartTX has already proven to be invaluable at the point of care and beyond. The application, now in use at all nursing facility locations and most hospitals, optimizes patient care and scheduling. Built-in information filters in the program ensure that treatment plans are compatible with the patient's diagnosis information and health care coverage.
Palliative care was the subject of a presentation this morning at Kindred's Clinical Impact Symposium – Care Across the Continuum. The speakers, Mark Rothman, MD, Chief Medical Officer for Kindred's Nursing Center Division, and Bonnie Austin, Senior Director of Compliance and Interim Senior Director of Clinical Services at PeopleFirst Homecare and Hospice, described some of the barriers that clinicians, patients and families face in accessing palliative care, and they addressed the importance of appropriate utilization of palliative care.
The presence of not one, not two, but three Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) makes the Dallas-Fort Worth market a truly unique place with distinctive challenges, according to two leaders who know it well, Audra Early, Executive Director for Kindred's Hospital Division in the Dallas-Fort Worth Market, and Julie Anderson, District Director of Sales and Business Development for the Nursing Center Division in the Rocky Mountain/ Texas District.
"We have three ACOs in Dallas-Fort Worth and they are all operating differently," Early said.
Plus ACO is a 50/50 partnership between Texas Health Resources (THR) and North Texas Specialty Physicians, a group of 900 doctors, Early said. THR came to the partnership with a group of 500 physicians, so the ACO now features a total of 1,400 physicians. It is a pioneer ACO and they are taking an innovative approach, she said. Plus currently covers 20,000 lives and is adding 50,000 more, making it a dynamic force in the market.
The Las Vegas healthcare market has shifted almost as quickly as the action on a casino table.
There are 13 hospitals and three healthcare systems there. The area has a population of roughly 2 million, with about 83 percent in managed care.
Two years ago, there were 420 individual on-staff doctors. But a year ago, internal medicine physicians consolidated into five "super groups." Now most of the hospital systems in Las Vegas use contracts with hospitalist groups rather than employing physicians. Physicians generally direct referrals to those that cover post-acute settings, and patients are placed when and where the care is appropriate.
Four years ago, the patient mix shifted from 65 percent Medicaid patients to mostly patients covered by commercial plans and Medicare Advantage.

Minimum sentence for Evansville man who used Facebook to solicit sex from minors
Warrick County Circuit Court Judge David Kelley on Monday sentenced an Evansville man to six years in prison after he pleaded guilty to an attempted child molesting for solicting sex with a minor on Facebook.
Carl Lee Rogers, 34, pleaded guilty after the Warrick County Prosecutor's Office reduced the charge from a Class A to a Class Be felony. Six years is the minimum sentence for Class B felonies.
He was arrested in July 2012 after a joint investigation by the Warrick County Sheriff's Office and the Chandler and Boonville police departments.
A presentencing report said that Rogers was a high risk to reoffend, according to court records. However, Kelley noted that Rogers had no criminal history and that even though Rogers attempted it, no actual sexual conduct occurred with the minor.
Kelley ordered that Rogers serve his sentence in minimum security if possible and that he complete the Indiana Sex Offender Management and Monitoring Program.
Rogers told investigators that he used public computers in the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library system to access the Internet because police had previously confiscated his home computer while looking into communications he was having with a child in another state, according to his arrest affidavit.
He was arrested after he went to Chandler Raceway believing he was going to meet a 13-year-old boy he had been having a sexually explicit conversation with on Facebook, according to the affidavit. The boy was a Warrick County sheriff's deputy.
In the online conversation, Rogers described what he wanted to do with the minor and how he could be recognized when they met, the affidavit said.
The investigation began when Boonville and Chandler police officers separately contacted the sheriff's department about investigations involving Rogers.
One of the officers said that he had received a tip about Rogers using Facebook to solicit sexual contact with a juvenile, the affidavit said. The officer said that he opened an undercover Facebook account and friended Rogers, who soon began asking him sexual questions.
The other officer said he had been contacted by a boy's mother about sexual messages her son received from Rogers, according to the affidavit.
The sheriff's deputy said that Rogers admitted to communicating with the Boonville officer, who he had believed was a boy, according to the affidavit. Rogers also said that he was involved in a separate Boonville police investigation in which he had offered a minor money to tell him sexual information.

@last post: I hope he did cause it was years before your post :P
I have a package coming from Miami ISC to Canada.
here are the current details:
Processed Through Sort Facility - February 14, 2013, 10:01 am - ISC MIAMI FL (USPS) - International Parcels
Arrived at Sort Facility - February 14, 2013, 9:58 am - ISC MIAMI FL (USPS)
Depart USPS Sort Facility - February 12, 2013 - MACON, GA 31204
Processed through USPS Sort Facility - February 11, 2013, 10:36 pm - MACON, GA 31204
Dispatched to Sort Facility - February 11, 2013, 6:40 pm - STATESBORO, GA 30458
Acceptance - February 11, 2013, 5:41 pm - STATESBORO, GA 30458
Electronic Shipping Info Received - February 07, 2013
So, it doesn't help that the vendor didn't send the package for 4 days after they marked as shipped (which was 4 days after I ordered and called CS), but that has nothing to do with USPS.
It took 3 days to move to an ISC and depart the US. Its been in transit for a day, so I will let you know when I see action on Canada Post's side. currently it says that they have been notified and are awaiting receipt.
As far as USPS is concerned, their job is done when it's in CND Post's hands and I will consider that the delivered date. The shipping method was quoted at 4-8 days (and that is international priority) so maybe they have learned to extend their estimated delivery times. This one is looking like it will be right in the middle of the estimate.
Now just have to hope that Canada post doesn't fudge it up, not that they have for me before (even have consistently gotten me my packages 1 day faster than UPS).

I like usps pri, I think the mail is very reliable, much more so than 5 years ago. Truth is the ne is a mess right now, I'm seeing all sorts of crazies at my local PO coming in complaining that snowplows took down their mailboxes. Line was out the door today!

I don't have much problem with the shipping service but I have a major problem with the service by the counter personnel in several offices around the Twin Cities. Those rude, lazy slow moving slugs behind the counter I've had experience with need tossed out on their arse...or better yet have some salt tossed on them instead. Let 'em foam.
I've had kinder, attentive service at the Chinese embassy in Chicago and at the Immigration office in Des Moines. Ok, I need another scotch.
|Feb 20, 2013, 03:17 AM
I've had mixed results. Sometimes, everything goes as planned. Sometimes, nothing does. It's almost a coin toss when dealing with them. But at least in my experience, that's a far sight better than FedEx; they're on a naught for 6 streak for my packages.

ProLindac Showing High DACH Platinum Activity; Drug Well Tolerated With No Signs of Acute Neurotoxicity
DALLAS, June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ACCESS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. (http://www.accesspharma.com) (OTC Bulletin Board: ACCP), provided an update today on the progress in the Company's clinical development plan for ProLindac, a novel DACH platinum drug that has shown to be active in many solid tumor types in human clinical studies. Access recently announced positive safety and efficacy results from its Phase 2 monotherapy clinical study of ProLindac(TM) in late-stage, heavily pretreated ovarian cancer patients. In this study, 66% of patients who received the highest dose achieved clinically meaningful disease stabilization according to RECIST criteria. No patient in any dose group exhibited any signs of acute neurotoxicity, which is a major adverse side-effect of the approved DACH platinum, Eloxatin, and ProLindac was well tolerated overall. The Company has scaled up manufacturing in order to begin the next phase of clinical development. Access plans to conduct several combination trials in different solid tumor types both as Company-sponsored trials and in conjunction with its two previously ann

"My save the dates came out so beautiful!! I honestly was not sure what to expect but we LOVED them! I have gotten so many compliments after we sent them out. They were delivered much faster than the delivery date on the website."
"Great paper quality and value! Such a stylish pick and you are able to customize the color of the wording with whatever color you would like. I picked "mango" for a Halloween wedding! I would definitely recommend!!!"
"Love this idea for a save the date! Printing was quick and customer service was helpful and easy to work with! I was so excited to get these, and they exceeded my expectations!"
"Absolutely loved our save the dates! In terms of the product itself, everything from the printing, the color, the paper, etc. was great. Even the envelopes were nice and sturdy and seemed like very high quality. I was also very pleased with the customer service. My initial order did not go through...possibly due to my mistake, but the customer service rep took full responsibility on their side and assisted in completing the order by phone. I even received a handwritten note from the representative, thanking me for letting him help me! I definitely recommend having the designer review the order, as well. It's worth the extra couple days if you have it. I used all of their suggestions and thought the result was much better in the end."

amazing product for a great price. they are a good size and i was able to personalize a lot of the calender.
Magnet Street always does a great job for us in printing the calendars for our Christmas mailing. This year we changed size and type, and were not disappointed. Can't wait to include them with our Christmas cards. A lovely token to enjoy throughout the year.
Awesome calendars
My clients love the calendars and look forward to the new design each year.
The magnet calendars far exceeded my expectation. The design staff was very helpful and reviewing the proofs was also a big help.
Keeping Your Face Out There
Fits neatly on the fridge, design is not over-powering nor gaudy. and is on durable, laminated card stock so has staying power for the year. Already had a client use the quote on her facebook, and seen on a client's fridge!

Federer beaten in Italian Open after boys' birth
ROME (AP) — Roger Federer's focus appeared to drift away from the Foro Italico.
And that was understandable.
After all, the 17-time Grand Slam winner was playing for the first time since the birth of his second set of twins last week.
Federer let a lead to slip away and was beaten 1-6, 6-3, 7-6 (6) Wednesday in the second round of the Italian Open by 47th-ranked Jeremy Chardy of France.
When Federer's boys, Leo and Lenny, were born, the fourth-ranked Swiss player withdrew from last week's Madrid Open. He only decided to come to Rome a few days ago.
"This one is totally OK if it doesn't hurt," Federer said. "I tried everything. I can't do more than that on the court."
Federer had a match point in the tiebreaker but Chardy saved it with an improbable cross-court forehand on the run when it looked like Federer was about to close the match out.
"That passing shot is a tough one for me to take, because he's not going to make that very often," Federer said. "But it happens and credit to him to fight his way back into the match and get it."
Later, top-ranked Rafael Nadal also faced stiff resistance from his French opponent before ultimately wearing down 30th-ranked Gilles Simon for a 7-6 (1), 6-7 (4), 6-2 win that lasted 3 hours, 18 minutes — opening his bid for an eighth Rome title.
Nadal hit 32 winners but just three with his backhand, which has become a point of concern recently.
Also, Wimbledon champion Andy Murray eliminated Marcel Granollers of Spain 6-2, 7-5.
Women's title-holder Serena Williams showed no problems — and no taping — from a left thigh injury that forced her to withdraw from Madrid. The top-ranked American beat 28th-ranked Andrea Petkovic 6-2, 6-2.
"I'm not 100 percent but I'm getting there," Williams said, adding that the conditions at the U.S. Open prepared her for the heavy wind gusts at the Foro Italico. "If I can play in New York, I can play anywhere."
Maria Sharapova, the 2011 and 2012 Rome champion, had to rally in the second set to get by Puerto Rican qualifier Monica Puig 6-3, 7-5.
After cruising through the first set, Federer began to commit unforced errors at an alarming rate and Chardy quickly took advantage.
"I wasn't able to stretch the lead when I had it," Federer said.
Federer committed 43 unforced errors — 20 in the second set alone — to Chardy's 28. Federer also struggled to dictate play with his first serve.
"But at the end, it was shot here or there that decided the match," Federer said.
Chardy hadn't beaten a top-10 player since defeating Juan Martin del Potro in the third round of last year's Australian Open.
Federer and wife Mirka also have twin girls, Myla Rose and Charlene Riva, who turn 5 in July. But even with all the family distractions, Federer didn't appear worried about his preparations for the French Open, which starts in 11 days.

Passport Issuance:
Current Situation Results in Thousands of Passports Issued to Registered Sex Offenders
GAO-10-643: Published: Jun 15, 2010. Publicly Released: Jul 14, 2010.

A U.S. passport allows the owner to travel freely both in and out of the country. Although passport recipients typically travel internationally for business or leisure, some passport recipients are using their passports to commit nefarious illegal activities outside this country. Specifically, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has documented cases of U.S. passport holders engaging in sex acts with children in foreign countries. Federal statutes authorize the Secretary of State to deny issuance of a passport in certain circumstances, such as for a conviction for international drug trafficking or arrearages in child support. GAO was asked to (1) determine, to the extent possible, the number of passport recipients who are registered sex offenders and (2) develop case study examples of passport recipients who are registered sex offenders. To do so, GAO compared fiscal year 2008 passport data from the Department of State (State) to data in DOJ's National Sex Offender Registry (NSOR). GAO also interviewed State officials. GAO selected 30 sex offenders, primarily based on geography, and performed investigations. In response to a draft of this report, DOJ had no comments. State expressed concerns about the presentation of some findings. State's comments are addressed within the report.
State issued U.S. passports to thousands of registered sex offenders during fiscal year 2008. Currently, State has no statutory authority to deny passports to registered sex offenders, except those convicted of sex tourism. GAO's analysis of data provided by State and DOJ indicates that of over 16 million U.S. passports issued in 2008, about 4,500 were issued to registered sex offenders. This estimate is likely to be understated because of data limitations in the passport and NSOR databases. From analysis of the NSOR, GAO also found that about 50 of these registered sex offenders either lived outside of the United States or the offender's whereabouts were not known. GAO also found that at least 30 of these registered sex offenders were federal employees during fiscal year 2008. GAO judgmentally selected 30 sex offenders for investigation. At the time of the criminal offense, many of these offenders held positions of public trust, such as health care provider, school teacher, religious layman, law enforcement official, National Aeronautics and Space Administration engineer, and owner of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Section 8 program single-family houses. GAO's investigation also found that State issued passports to individuals who were residing in prison or delinquent in child support or whose whereabouts were unknown according to the NSOR. Finally, GAO's investigation found that one individual has illegally failed to register with the police department as a sex offender for several years.

28 year old man | San Diego, CA, USA | Seeking women 20-32 within 30 miles
HEY! Yes, you! Click me! !
I knew you couldn't resist clicking. I've always been an interesting and adventurous guy, so online dating seems like the natural choice for me. So far I've met a few people, some interesting, some not, and I've run across those who I suspected were catfish but that's the fun of things, isn't it? So since you were daring enough to click on my profile, be equally as dating and send me a message. I promise I'm just a nice guy who likes to meet people and make new friends. So just keep smiling and writing, and I hope to hear from you soon!
