The Pitchfork Guide to Upcoming Releases
Records to look forward to in fall 2011
By Pitchfork on September 30, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. EDT
Welcome once again to the Pitchfork Guide to Upcoming Releases, our seasonal guide to upcoming releases! Four times a year, we round up a big ol' list of albums, singles, EPs, and DVDs set to be unleashed over the coming months, hoping to get you pumped about going out and buying records. (You do still do that, right? RIGHT?) This installment covers fall 2011.
Compiling such a list isn't easy in this day and age, with different release dates for digital and physical versions of albums, as well as different release dates for different countries. So we tried to stick with North American physical release dates as much as possible, with exceptions as noted. When an album's North American release date differs from its overseas one, we also made a note of that. Keep in mind that release dates can be as slippery as the 2012 Republican Presidential nomination race, and any one of these is subject to change at any moment.

Makeout Music For The Millennium
SEMISONIC IS IN the midst of a jubilant homecoming set before a packed house at the Fine Line Music Cafe in when singer/guitarist Dan Wilson--who has charmed the crowd all night with one-liners and good-natured banter--suddenly turns serious.
"I don't know if this is appropriate," he begins. "But I'm really sick and tired of all this glorification of the Unabomber. It's like he's some kind of hero now, because Oh, he only killed a few people, and it was on a matter of principle. I mean, people should just realize it's fucking wrong and fucking get over it."
Scattered hoots and cheers. Wilson steals a side glance at his bandmates; bassist John Munson and drummer/keyboardist Jake Schlicter, who's buried behind racks of gear. "I also don't get all this pop culture celebration of self-destructiveness... You know, the idea that it's romantic or something to be Kurt Cobain lying in a shed with his head blown open." Wilson pauses amid applause. "Anyone who's been suicidal knows it's not romantic."
At which point the band tears into "Down in Flames," the first single from Great Divide, Semisonic's lusty major-label debut. It's dark, especially for a single--Wilson wrote it about the suicide of a friend--but onstage it comes off as a powerful tribute, a celebration of life, in contrast to the irony fetish and self-pity syndrome of much current pop. It perfectly embodies the contrasts that make up Great Divide: The trio volleys rootsy grooves one moment, lashes out feedback and electronic FX the next. The songs have big stadium rock & roll endings, and the guys play with fierce male-bonding reverie, yet--and this is the amazing part--they pull it off with utter refusal to be macho rawkers. A new age Minneapolis power pop has arrived.
Dan Wilson's love affair with music has been consuming and unpredictable--and one he tried to avoid for years. After picking up an art degree at Harvard in '83, the St. Louis Park High alum moved to San Francisco with the ambition of being a painter. But music kept compulsively creeping into his life, until he got the call to join Trip Shakespeare, the arty pop band that would achieve regional cult status in the late '80s. Brother Matt's secondary guitar parts on Trip's first LP, Applehead Man, recorded before Dan joined, were the first parts Dan ever learned.
In 1992, as the future of Trip Shakespeare was in question, Dan Wilson, Munson, and longtime friend Jake Schlicter--a multitalented computer programmer with a soft spot for R&B and funk--casually birthed a new band, Pleasure, with a home recording called "If I Run." The new band sprang from Schlicter's basement studio as a freeform, funky alternative to what had become stylistic rigidity in Trip Shakespeare, and Wilson's first forum as a full-time songwriter. But after a couple of years of fun, Pleasure was dropped by its original label, Elektra, and hit a brick wall. The ensuing distress, ironically, was what compelled the band to head in the bold new direction on Great Divide.
A third of the album was completed, but left in financial limbo for need of a new label to buy it out. Frustrated, Wilson made a proposal to the band to begin a new alter ego, a "superexperimental and sonically weird" studio project to be called Semisonic. Wilson coined a manifesto for the new project: "Make-Out Music for the Millenium."
"We got a sampler and started screwing around with it and experimenting a lot because we were going through this agonizing period of not being able to work on our record," says Munson, a towering man with a rep as one of the nicest guys in the local biz. "We were sitting at home wanting to do stuff, trying to feel good about anything and finding it pretty damn hard to feel good about anything at all."
Spirits were lifted by Semisonic's maiden composition, the delicate, woozy "No One Else," which shows Wilson using a whole new template to express his passions. ("You're the movie star/Of my inner space," he whispers to the song's love object.) At first, the trio intended to carry on the Pleasure and Semisonic personalities as separate entities. But by the time they lost the name Pleasure under legal duress, the two ideals merged under one Semisonic. MCA finally rescued Great Divide from Elektra, and reunited the band with faithful producer Paul Fox (Sugarcubes, Tina and the B-Side Movement) to finish the record.
The result is an album that's both nostalgic and visionary in sound and outlook. "Temptation" hearkens to Motown balladry, and "Falling" contains a vocal reference to mid-period Beach Boys (the other Wilson brothers).Yet impish bursts of feedback punctuate party songs like "F.N.T." and "Delicious," while epic sampled noise envelopes "The Prize," a song about a pop culture worshipping false idols. Great Divide would also seem to be a record with a natural mass appeal, and based on the current MTV and radio activity of "Down in Flames," MCA may have a hit on its hands. An even greater hit might be found in "If I Run," a soaring escape anthem in which Wilson proclaims "Keep waitin' 'til the day I die when I'll lose my heavy load/But I wouldn't want to leave you behind," before the tune erupts in an incendiary jam.
That inevitable discovery of the bright side of dark art is a theme for Wilson. "The fact is I'm a really, really moody, sometimes depressive person. But I'm not suicidal, that's just not me," he says. "I can guarantee you, when you're slammin' with the band and all the people are singing along, it's not a self-pitying experience. It's totally the transcendent joy of creation. It's not a very fashionable thing to acknowledge, but that's what it is.

TONY BLAIR'S PROBLEMS will not end with the unseating of Saddam Hussein. Nor will they end when he crushes the revolt of the loony left in his party. He will still have to face the fact that his foreign policy--indeed, his view of the world in the 21st century--is in tatters.
Some time ago I upset Britain's prime minister by suggesting that his notion of becoming a bridge between the United States and Europe is a fantasy and that Britain would some day soon have to choose between America and a Europe dominated by a Franco-German axis. He took to a national television program to say that I was only helping the "bad guys" by creating a rift between the "good guys."
That was before Iraq, in the balmy days when the prime minister and the French agreed to the Nice Treaty, calling for the establishment of a European defense force, one the French saw as a rival to and eventual replacement for a U.S.-dominated NATO, but Blair hoped would merely supplement the 50-year alliance. Embarrassed by Europe's military impotence in Kosovo, Blair had a vision: a united and militarily potent Europe would march hand in hand with America into the future, Europe carrying its own weight, and Great Britain positioned as the balancing force between France and Germany, and as a bridge between a united Europe and the United States. Better still, more and more decisions would be moved to the United Nations, where Britain's veto on the Security Council confers on it a role more commensurate with its one-time rank as a world power than with its current more humble standing in the international ranking of nations.
In short, in this view of the world, Britain did not have to choose between its special relationship with America and placing itself at the heart of Europe: it could have both its ice cream and apple pie, and its brie and Chablis.
NOW WE HAVE IRAQ, and Jacques Chirac's alliance with a Germany wallowing in anti-Americanism. Chirac's stirring up of "the European street" to derail Anglo-American efforts to strip weapons of mass destruction from one of the cruelest regimes in the world should have surprised no one. But it certainly came as surprise to the British prime minister, who, since taking office, has made it his policy to woo France and Germany by ceding larger and larger chunks of his country's sovereignty to the European Union.
It seems clear that the bridge that Blair was so painfully constructing between Europe and America has collapsed. France wants to lead an anti-American coalition, while U.S. administration officials have begun to re-examine America's historic support for the European integration. The thinkers who influence the Bush administration's foreign policy now realize that further unification of Europe is not in America's interest.
Rather than deal with what Donald Rumsfeld calls "Old Europe," America has found it in its interests to deal directly with Britain and a prime minister who has proved himself one of the great international statesmen of his age; and to pay attention to the "New Europe" of countries that know first-hand what it is like to live under a tyrant, supplemented by any other countries that prefer to link their futures to America rather than to the Franco-German axis.
But that puts Blair between a rock and a hard place. The prime minister is deep in negotiations with Valéry Giscard d'Estaing--a clapped out French pol described as a man "whose credentials seem to be that he used to be someone important"--over the shape of the new European constitution that is emerging from an unelected assembly of European bureaucrats, failed politicians, and time-serving ministers.
Should Blair sign this document--he has already said that he will not submit it to the British electorate in a referendum--he will commit Britain to a common European defense and foreign policy, one certain to be dominated by the Franco-German axis. In that circumstance, there will be no inclination and very little reason for the Bushes to receive the Blairs at the Crawford ranch or at Camp David. "W" and "Tone" may continue to use the same brand of toothpaste. But America's need and wish to consult No.10 Downing Street on matters of importance will be gone. Power will have shifted from No.10 Downing Street to a Brussels foreign and defense team subservient to Chirac (the French run the E.U. bureaucracy) and Schröder (Germany is the E.U.'s paymaster).
It is, of course, for Blair and Britain to decide whether the costs of deeper integration are exceeded by the benefits. But it is for America to say how it will deal with Britain under the alternative scenarios available to the United Kingdom. As an American who appreciates Great Britain's bravery in holding off Hitler while we dithered about joining the fight against fascism, and as an admirer of Tony Blair's willingness to pay a steep political price for adherence to his moral principles, I can only hope that Blair, who once saw only one path open to Britain--now may realize that he can no longer have Brussels and Washington, too. In the words of that old song, "It's got to be this or that."

The skies above Tao village flashed as streaks of lightning wreaked their havoc across the night's black heavens. There was no moon, and not a star to been seen on a night as savage as this. The sky looked down on him, a black and empty void resounding with the vicious rumbles of thunder. The pelting rain was just as merciless. Aided by the wind, it poured with a vengeance; turning the humble town of Tao Village into a swamp. Around him, dirt paths turned to mud as the soil drowned under the torrent of heavy rain.

I changed the design of Leon's book a bit and Vagus is holding his mother's journal. I'm going to make my own story within PMDE. It will not follow the meta-plot everyone is following, but think about it as another parallel world. We already have a lot of things planned and I just have to get things nailed down and we will be off to go~
Also, it's my dear 's Birthday soon (on 20th of Jan), please go and wish him a good one~

XFX Radeon 5770 - Blurry
Everything looks a bit blurry, especially the text. HDMI, DVI, and VGA connections all look bad. VGA looks a little better, but not as clear as HDMI wiith my Windows XP machine, and I also want to output sound.
A few notes:
* Running the the most recent ATI drivers (10.6)
* Pixel ratio set to 1:1 on the TV
* Using native resolution (1080p/60hz, also tried 59hz without improvement)
* Overscan set to 0%
* ClearType text has been adjusted
* Tried older drivers: 10.5, 10.4, 9.8, and 9.1 without success
My 5 year old Windows XP Dell, with a $40 Radeon 4350 card, has no problem producing crisp text via HDMI on this same HDTV. I tried the same 4350 card in my new Windows 7 computer and experienced the same problem as with the 5770.

Problem with Graphic Cards and Philips TVs
Everything seems to work fine except 1 thing and that is that the screen blinks (black screen) for 1 second and then goes back to normal sometimes.
I thought that it might be a problem with the graphics card (gtx 260) but yesterday I bought a new graphics card, just for this bloody issue (HD Radeon 5770) and I still have the same issue.
Apparently something having to do with the "EDID" thing and there is a "solution" which I dont understand at all presented for nVidia cards and Im wondering if anyone with knowledge knows how to solve this very annoying issue for Radeon (5770) or come with some suggestions?
Need your opinion on video card upgrades
(XFX Radeon HD 5770 850MHZ 1GB 4.8GHZ GDDR5 2XDVI HDMI Display Port DIRECTX11 PCI-E Video CARD, HD577AZNFC In Canada.)
and me being not so tech savy, I'd like some second opinions. I'm not looking to spend more then 400$ CAD however, so if you can recommend me something that falls within my budget, even better.
I'm on Windows 7 Pro 64x Intel Q6600 @ 2.40Ghz , I have a 650w power supply, 22inch monitor running at 1680x1050 and I primarily game.
Integrated Radeon HD 5770
This is pretty awesome, but I wonder how much performance the 5770 would lose being integrated.
Serious problem when switching Graphics Card
Since Im in much need for the HDMI and some other reasons and he's not, I switched our graphics cards.
Everything seemed to work fine at first, I installed the drivers on his computer and the gtx 260 was working fine there. On other hand, when I tried to install the drivers (the screen was huge) on my computer with the Radeon 5770, the computer suddenly froze (it has never done this before).
When I turned it back on I heard a "peep peep peep" sound from the computer after a few seconds and there was no screen on the display. I could hear the harddrive working etc but no graphics.
I then switched places on the HD 5770 card (There were 2 blue contacts that looked the same) and the computer turned on. This time it worked for aprox 20 minutes (with new drivers installed) until the computer suddenly froze again. When I tried turning it back on, I got the beeping sound again and nothing showed up.
Both of the cards seem to work just fine on my brothers computer and I dont think I have any hardware issues on my either since its a pretty good computer that has never caused me any troubles.
Upgraded graphics from 8800 GT to Radeon 5770
Which I got to thinking.. is there a system out there that reports 7.9 in all categories?
5770 or GTX 260 - I think I know the answer
Am I better off going with a 5770? I hear the drivers are not up to Nvidia's standards. I have LOVED Nvidia drivers over the years. Am I going to regret buying this card. (thinking about a Sapphire 5770, but it looks like they are all 1GB GDDR5 cards)
Xfx radeon 5770 hd video card problems
XFX 5770 or BFG GTX 260?
Graphic Cards - ATI Radeon HD 5000 - ATI Radeon? HD 5770
BFG Tech - BFG NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 OC 896MB PCIe 2.0
now i hear that the 5 series ATI cards have issues at the momment, with driver crashes and the CCC randomly acting up, i never has an graphics card before (my first built pc im doing, allways been in the MB). So i dont know if to risk getting the 5770 because of the problems at the momment.
But to be honest i would rather get the 5770 because im building a sysstem with an AMD 965 so ATI card will go well, and it has DX11.

Reservoir engineers are specialists in locating - and helping petroleum companies effectively use - underground reservoirs of fossil fuels. Using geological expertise, knowledge of fluid mechanics, and various forms of technology, the reservoir engineer determines the location of underground fuel reservoirs and their reserve capacities, as well as whether their long-term viability makes them suitable for investment. The reservoir engineer works with geologists to monitor the reserves as fuels are extracted and makes adjustments to extraction processes as geological changes occur with the depletion of the fuel. As easier-to-reach fuel reservoirs are depleted internationally, reservoir engineering increasingly explores new techniques to locate viable drilling spots, and developing and modifying machinery to tap into these spots.Read More...
Employers typically require at least a bachelor's degree in an accredited engineering program for entry-level positions, and state licensing is a requirement for all public-sector reservoir engineering jobs. Often, specialized coursework is desired for certain industries such as drilling mechanics, reservoir rock properties, and petroleum economics.
Most reservoir engineering jobs are in the petroleum industry, though there are opportunities available as consultants and in academic positions. A reservoir engineer employed in the petroleum industry divides their time among offices, laboratories, and in the field, locating and maintaining drilling sites (which may require extensive, worldwide travel). Engineers are typically full-time employees who work in shifts of varying length. Often, they work three days and then take three days off.
Many Reservoir Engineers can be found at Chevron Corporation, British Petroleum (BP), Occidental Petroleum Corporation, Schlumberger, and ExxonMobil Corporation, firms that are at the top of the field. Reservoir Engineers seeking a sizable paycheck can earn the most at Occidental Petroleum Corporation, where the average salary comes to $149K.
Reservoir Engineers report using a pretty varied skill set on the job. Most notably, skills in Business Development, Mergers and Acquisitions, Strategic Planning, and Well Production Engineering are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Microsoft Office. Most people familiar with Reservoir Engineering also know Well Production Engineering.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Reservoir Engineers working in Houston make slightly more than the national average, but overall, geography does not significantly influence pay in this role. Reservoir Engineers will also find cushy salaries in Bakersfield (+4 percent). Small cities Salt Lake City, Oklahoma City, and Denver are less-than-lucrative areas for Reservoir Engineers, where pay is not only lower than the national average but also represents the three lowest-paid areas in the country, suggesting that markets with fewer than a million residents are not ideal for those in this field. Below-median salaries also turn up in Oklahoma City and Denver (12 percent lower and 2 percent lower, respectively).

As I like the flavor of butternut squash I was disappointed when the other spices were so strong that they covered up the squash flavor. Won't make again, sorry.

This is my favorite soup in the world. I make it with 3 teaspoons of curry and low sodium vegetable broth. I also add a teaspoon of cardamon and a teaspoon of cumin. YUMMY!
This was delicious! It's very hearty, and the yogurt gives it a great tanginess. The only thing I'll do differently next time is to use a little more curry powder.
I added more curry to the recipe but wish I wouldn't have. The curry overwhelmed the other flavors in the dish. It would have been better as is for our tastes. I like the toasted almonds. My pic...

Huh, this appears to be a knock off recipe from Jiko's restaurant at Animal Kingdom lodge in WDW. They use a golden squash though.
Only one word required.... YUM!! (except I nixed the yogurt cuz I can't have dairy anymore, I'm guessing it would be twice as good if I could put in the yogurt)
I have never written a review before and I use this site all the time. All I have to say is WOW! I did add a little more curry and cut back on the broth to make a little thicker. Will make a...

Physical stressors during neonatal transport: Helicopter compared with ground ambulance
Volume 30, Issue 3, May 2011, Pages 134-139
Jean Christophe Bouchut | Eric Van Lancker | Vincent Chritin | Pierre Yves Gueugniaud
Objectives: This study was undertaken to assess concurrent mechanical stresses from shock, vibration, and noise to which a critically ill neonate is exposed during emergency transfer. Methods: For neonates transported by a French specialized emergency medical service, we measured and analyzed 27 physical parameters recorded during typical transport by ambulance and by helicopter. The noninvasive sensors were placed to allow better representation of the exposure of the newborn to the physical constraints. Results: Based on 10 hours of transport by ambulance and 2 hours by helicopter, noise, whole body vibration, rate of turn, acceleration, and pitch were extracted as the five most representative dynamic harshness indicators. A helicopter produces a higher-level but more stable (lower relative dispersion) whole body dynamic exposure than an ambulance, with a mean noise level of 86 ± 1 dBA versus 67 ± 3 dBA, mean whole body vibration of 1 ± 0.1 meter per second squared (m/s 2) versus 0.4 6 0.2 m/s 2, and acceleration of 1 6 0.05 m/s 2 versus 0.4 6 0.1 m/s 2. A ground ambulance has many more dynamic effects in terms of braking, shock, and impulsive noise than a helicopter (1 impulsive event per 2 minutes vs. 1 per 11 minutes). Conclusions: Our results show significant exposure of the sick neonate to both stationary and impulsive dynamic physical stressors during transportation, particularly in a ground ambulance. The study suggests opportunities to reduce physical stressors during neonatal transport. © 2011 Air Medical Journal Associates.
Auscultation in flight: Comparison of conventional and electronic stethoscopes
Volume 30, Issue 3, May 2011, Pages 158-160
J. P. Tourtier | N. Libert | P. Clapson | K. Tazarourte | M. Borne | L. Grasser | B. Debien | Y. Auroy
Objectives: The ability to auscultate during air medical transport is compromised by high ambient-noise levels. The aim of this study was to assess the capabilities of a traditional and an electronic stethoscope (which is expected to amplify sounds and reduce ambient noise) to assess heart and breath sounds during medical transport in a Boeing C135. Methods: We tested one model of a traditional stethoscope (3MTM Littmann Cardiology IIITM) and one model of an electronic stethoscope (3MTM Littmann Stethoscope Model 3000). We studied heart and lung auscultation during real medical evacuations aboard a medically configured C135. For each device, the quality of auscultation was described using a visual rating scale (ranging from 0 to 100 mm, 0 corresponding to "I hear nothing," 100 to "I hear perfectly"). Comparisons were accomplished using a t-test for paired values. Results: A total of 36 comparative evaluations were performed. For cardiac auscultation, the value of the visual rating scale was 53 ± 24 and 85 ± 11 mm, respectively, for the traditional and electronic stethoscope (paired t-test: P = .0024). For lung sounds, quality of auscultation was estimated at 27 ± 17 mm for traditional stethoscope and 68 ± 13 for electronic stethoscope (paired t-test: P = .0003). The electronic stethoscope was considered to be better than the standard model for hearing heart and lung sounds. Conclusion: Flight practitioners involved in air medical evacuation in the C135 aircraft are better able to practice auscultation with this electronic stethoscope than with a traditional one. © 2011 Air Medical Journal Associates.

Introduction Major hemorrhage remains a leading cause of death in both military and civilian trauma. We report the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) as part of a trauma exanguination/massive transfusion protocol in the management of hemorrhagic shock in a civilian primary and secondary air medical evacuation (AME) helicopter EMS program. Methods TXA was introduced into our CCP flight paramedic program in June 2011. Indications for use include age > 16 years, major trauma (defined a priori based on mechanism of injury or findings on primary survey), and heart rate (HR) > 110 beats per minute (bpm) or systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 90 mmHg. Our protocol, which includes 24-hour online medical oversight, emphasizes rapid initiation of transport, permissive hypotension in select patients, early use of blood products (secondary AME only), and infusion of TXA while en route to a major trauma center. Results Over a 4-month period, our CCP flight crews used TXA a total of 13 times. Patients had an average HR of 111 bpm [95% CI 90.71-131.90], SBP of 91 mmHg [95% CI 64.48-118.60], and Glascow Coma Score of 7 [95% CI 4.65-9.96]. For primary AME, average response time was 33 minutes [95% CI 19.03-47.72], scene time 22 minutes [95% CI 20.23-24.27], and time to TXA administration 32 minutes [95% CI 25.76-38.99] from first patient contact. There were no reported complications with the administration of TXA in any patient. Conclusion We report the successful integration of TXA into a primary and secondary AME program in the setting of major trauma with confirmed or suspected hemorrhagic shock. Further studies are needed to assess the effect of such a protocol in this patient population. © 2013 Air Medical Journal Associates.
Fixed-wing medical transport crashes: Characteristics associated with fatal outcomes
Volume 30, Issue 3, May 2011, Pages 149-152
Daniel A. Handel | Thomas R. Yackel
Introduction: Previous studies within the aeromedical literature have looked at factors associated with fatal outcomes in helicopter medical transport, but no analysis has been conducted on fixed-wing aeromedical flights. The purpose of this study was to look at fatality rates in fixed-wing aeromedical transport and compare them with general aviation and helicopter aeromedical flights. Methods: This study looked at factors associated with fatal outcomes in fixed-wing aeromedical flights, using the National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Incident Database from 1984 to 2009. Results: Fatal outcomes were significantly higher in medical flights (35.6 vs. 19.7%), with more aircraft fires (20.3 vs. 10.5%) and on-ground collisions (5.1 vs. 2.0%) compared with commercial flights. Aircraft fires occurred in 12 of the 21 fatal crashes (57.1%), compared with only 2 of the 38 nonfatal crashes (5.3%) (P < .001). In the multiple logistic regression model, the only factor with increased odds of a fatal outcome was the presence of a fire (56.89; 95% CI, 4.28-808.23). Conclusions: Similar to published studies in helicopter medical transport, postcrash fires are the primary factor associated with fatal outcomes in fixed-wing aeromedical flights. © 2011 Air Medical Journal Associates.
Does wearing a surgical facemask or N95-respirator impair radio communication?
Volume 30, Issue 2, March 2011, Pages 97-102
Frank Thomas | Craig Allen | William Butts | Carol Rhoades | Cynthia Brandon | Diana L. Handrahan
This study evaluated the impact wearing a surgical facemask or N95 air purifying respirator (N95) has on radio reception. We compared the ability of a flight crewmember and a layperson sitting in a Bell 407 crew compartment and a dispatcher sitting in a communication center to accurately record 20 randomized aviation terms transmitted over the radio by a helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) pilot wearing a surgical facemask and six different N95s with and without the aircraft engine operating. With the aircraft engine off, all terms (100 accuracy) were correctly identified, regardless of the absence or presence of the surgical facemask or N95 studied. With the aircraft engine on, the surgical facemask (3M-1826) and two N95 respirators (3M-1860, Safe Life Corp-150) maintained 100 accuracy. Remaining N95 accuracy was as follows: 3M-8511 and Kimberly-Clark PFR95 (98), Inoyel-3212 (97), and 3M-1870 (93). In general, despite wearing a facemask, radio reception accuracy is high (>90). However, aircraft engine noise and N95 type do appear to adversely affect the accuracy of radio reception. All HEMS pilots and crewmembers should be aware of these radio reception findings when using an N95 respirator during transport. A brief review of the surgical facemask and N95 effectiveness to prevent viral respiratory infections is provided. © 2011 Air Medical Journal Associates.
Major incident patient evacuation: Full-scale field exercise feasibility study
Volume 30, Issue 3, May 2011, Pages 153-157
Marius Rehn | Trond Vigerust | Jan E. Andersen | Andreas J. Krüger | Hans M. Lossius
Introduction: Major incident management relies on efficient patient transportation. In the absence of a standardized, field-friendly approach to multiple casualty management, the Norwegian Air Ambulance Foundation developed Optimal Patient Evacuation Norway (OPEN). OPEN aims to save time, improve patient handling, prevent hypothermia, and simplify scene management. We evaluated the feasibility of the OPEN concept in full-scale major incident field exercises. Methods: Emergency service personnel participated in two standardized bus crash field exercises, without and with access to OPEN. The instructors timed completion of patient evacuation, and the students participated in a self-report before and after study. Each question was scored on a 7-point Likert scale, with points labeled "Did not work" (1) through "Worked excellently" (7). Results: Among the 93 study participants, 31% confirmed that stretchers could be available at the scene within 30 minutes in their catchment area. The students reported improved interdisciplinary cooperation for patient evacuation after the course (mean, 5.8, with 95% CI 5.7-6.0 after vs. 5.4 with 95% CI 5.2-5.6 before, P < .001). Conclusion: OPEN is a feasible and time-efficient way to standardize patient transport and may serve as a candidate for a future national standard for major incident patient evacuation. © 2011 Air Medical Journal Associates.
Airway management in the air medical setting
Volume 30, Issue 3, May 2011, Pages 140-148
Lawrence H. Brown | Michael W. Hubble | Denise A. Wilfong | Attila Hertelendy | Randall W. Benner
Background: Airway management is a key component of air medical care for seriously ill and injured patients. This meta-analysis of the prehospital airway management literature explored the pooled air-medical placement success rates for oral endotracheal intubation (OETI), including rapid sequence intubation (RSI) and drug-facilitated intubation (DFI), nasotracheal intubation (NTI), blind insertion airway devices (BIAD), and surgical cricothyrotomy (SCRIC). Methods: We performed a systematic literature search for all English language articles reporting success rates for airway procedures performed in the prehospital setting. After identifying articles specific to the air-medical environment, pooled estimates of success rates for each airway technique were calculated using a random effects meta-analysis model. Results: Thirty-six unique studies, encompassing 4,574 procedures, reported airway management success rates in the air medical environment. The pooled estimates (95% CI) for intervention success across all clinicians and patients were: OETI (without RSI/DFI): 86.4% (81.2%-90.3%); DFI: 95.1% (84.1%-98.6%); RSI: 96.7% (94.8%-97.9%); NTI: 76.1% (71.9%-79.9%); BIAD: 94.0% (85.8%-97.6%); and SCRIC: 90.8% (80.6%-95.9%). Conclusion: We provide pooled estimates for airway management procedural success rates in the air medical setting. These data can be used by program managers and medical directors in determining the most appropriate airway management procedures to incorporate into their services and for benchmarking in quality improvement activities. © 2011 Air Medical Journal Associates.
Commercial air travel after pneumothorax: A review of the literature
Volume 32, Issue 5, January 2013, Pages 268-274
Andy Bunch | François Xavier Duchateau | Laurent Verner | Jonathon Truwit | Robert O'Connor | William Brady
Because of the physiological stresses of commercial air travel, the presence of a pneumothorax has long been felt to be an absolute contraindication to flight. Additionally, most medical societies recommend that patients wait at least 2 weeks after radiographic resolution of the pneumothorax before they attempt to travel in a nonurgent fashion via commercial air transport. This review sought to survey the current body of literature on this topic to determine if a medical consensus exists; furthermore, this review considered the scientific support, if any, supporting these recommendations. In this review, we found a paucity of data on the issue and noted only a handful of prospective and retrospective studies; thus, true evidence-based recommendations are difficult to develop at this time. We have made recommendations, when possible, addressing the nonurgent commercial air travel for the patient with a recent pneumothorax. However, more scientific research is necessary in order to reach an evidence-based conclusion on pneumothoraces and flying. © 2013 Air Medical Journal Associates.

Introduction Bedside thoracic ultrasound has been shown to be a valuable diagnostic tool in the emergency department. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of bedside thoracic ultrasound in the prehospital HEMS setting. Setting Air ambulance helicopters during patient transportation. Methods This was a prospective pilot study. 71 consecutive, nonpregnant patients over 18 years old were enrolled. While in flight, providers completed limited bedside thoracic ultrasounds with the patient supine and recorded their interpretation of the presence or absence of the ultrasonographic sliding lung sign on a closed data-set instrument. Results 41 (58%) of the eligible patients had a recorded thoracic ultrasound acquired in flight. The level of agreement in image interpretation between the flight crew and expert reviewer was substantial (Kappa 0.67, CI 0.44-0.90). The reviewer rated 54% of all images as "good" in quality. The most common reason cited for not completing the ultrasound was lack of enough provider time or space limitations within the aircraft cabin. Conclusion The results of this study suggest that, with limited training, bedside thoracic ultrasound image acquisition and interpretation for the sliding lung sign in the HEMS setting is feasible. © 2013 Air Medical Journal Associates.
Benefit of mechanical chest compression devices in Mountain HEMS: Lessons learned from 1 year of experience and evaluation
Volume 33, Issue 6, January 2014, Pages 299-301
Urs Pietsch | Volker Lischke | Christine Pietsch
© 2014 Air Medical Journal Associates. Introduction Pre-hospital care of cardiac arrest patients in the mountain environment is one of the most challenging problems for helicopter medical emergency services (HEMS) teams. To provide high-quality chest compression with minimal hand s-off-time is very demanding in the alpine area. Methods We used and evaluated mechanical chest compression devices (Lucas and AutoPulse) and investigated if these are good and useful tools in the alpine HEMS. Over a period of 12 months we performed 7 CPRs in remote alpine terrain. Conclusion On the strength of our past experience, CPR under special circumstances like deep hypothermia, in which a prolonged CPR is essential, the use of the Lucas and/or AutoPulse was an easy and sufficient tool even in difficult alpine terrain which requires special rescue missions like winch or MERS evacuation.
Air ambulance nurses as expert supplement to local emergency services
Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2014, Pages 40-43
Torben Wisborg | Bjørn Bjerkan
Objective Flight nurses in the Norwegian National Air Ambulance Service are specialist nurse anesthetists or intensive care nursing specialists. For air ambulance bases far from hospitals, these nurses present otherwise unavailable competencies. This study reports a 6-year experience with flight nurse participation in local emergencies beyond the transportation phase. Methods The fixed-wing air ambulance base in Alta, Northern Norway (20,000 inhabitants), with 2 aircraft and 2 on-call teams is 150 km by road from the nearest hospital. We did a prospective registration of all emergency nonflight missions near the air ambulance base from January 1, 2005, to December 31, 2010. Results The 217 completed missions corresponded to 3 missions per month, half during daytime. Twenty-three percent of patients were under age 18, injury rate was high (36%), 63% had potentially or manifest life-threatening conditions, and 11% died during treatment. One third of all missions (67/217) resulted in an air ambulance flight to the hospital. Conclusion Mission frequency did not significantly reduce flight availability, and precision in case selection for this special service was good. The use of flight nurses in the local community promotes equal access to advanced medical services for populations far from hospitals. © 2014 Air Medical Journal Associates.

Introduction: The safety, cost efficacy, and time-to-treatment benefit of air transport of stroke patients have been acknowledged. We describe stroke patients transported to our facility by helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) from a large rural area and compare 2 consecutive 3-year periods. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted of all patients transferred by HEMS to our facility over 6 years. Data collected included patient demographics, pretransport imaging interpretation, final diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. Trends between period 1 (January 1, 2003'December 31, 2005) and period 2 (January 1, 2006'December 31, 2008) were examined. Results: A total of 347 acute stroke patients were transported by HEMS to our facility. The final diagnosis was intracerebral hemorrhage in 44%, subarachnoid hemorrhage in 24%, subdural hematoma in 14%, ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack in 9%, and a nonstroke diagnosis in 7% of patients. Conventional cerebral angiography was performed in 28% of patients, and neurosurgical intervention, hematoma evacuation, or aneurysm clipping was performed in 32%. A final diagnosis of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack increased 3 times (4% vs. 12%, P <.05) from period 1 to 2. There was also a significant increase in the number of patients receiving intravenous tissue plasminogen activator before transport (0% vs. 3%, P <.01). Conclusions: The majority of our patients transported by HEMS for the management of acute stroke undergo urgent specialized diagnostics or interventions. This supports the role of interhospital HEMS transport in extending access to care in rural communities. © 2013 Air Medical Journal Associates.

Carbon monoxide poisoning in a 55-year-old man after a suicide attempt
Volume 30, Issue 3, May 2011, Pages 112-115
Peter Tilney
A flight team was activated for a scene call in rural Vermont for a patient with apparent carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Per ground emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, this 55-year-old man with a history of coronary artery disease (CAD) was found unresponsive in his parked vehicle in his garage. "Dryer hose" tubing ran from the tailpipe into the rear window of his sedan. EMS providers also stated that a variety of unidentified pills were found on the floormat. There were no pill bottles in the vehicle or in the home to identify the medications. Whether the pills had been consumed was unclear. Ground EMS removed the patient from the vehicle and immediately placed the patient on high-flow oxygen. The duration of the exposure was unknown. © 2011 Air Medical Journal Associates.

The airtraq optical laryngoscope in helicopter emergency medical services: A pilot trial
Volume 32, Issue 2, March 2013, Pages 88-92
Christopher S. Russi | Lucas A. Myers | Logan J. Kolb | Bruce W. Goodman | Kathleen S. Berns
Objective: To determine the degree of success helicopter emergency medical services personnel have in placing an endotracheal tube using a relatively new device for endotracheal intubation (ETI) known as the Airtraq (AT) Optical Laryngoscope (King Systems Corp, Noblesville, IN), and to determine the frequency with which flight crews had to resort to other means for advanced airway management. Methods: This prospective, observational pilot trial evaluated the critical care flight team's ability to perform ETI using the AT as a first-line device in the prehospital setting. Flight crews were instructed to use the AT for any patient needing ETI. Teams completed a 30-minute training session followed by mannequin practice. They documented situations and outcomes: reason for ETI, success in placing the AT, reason for unsuccessful placement, end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration in expired air (ETCO2), and where patients were when they underwent intubation (field, ambulance, aircraft, hospital). Data were abstracted and analyzed using JMP software version 7.0 (SAS Institute, Inc, Cary, NC). Results: Fifty cases involving use of the AT were analyzed. Median patient age was 51.5 years (range, 15-90; interquartile range, 36-64.5). Most patients were male (n = 37 [74%]). The primary reasons for intubation were unresponsiveness and altered loss of consciousness (n = 23 [46%]), respiratory distress or apnea (n = 8 [16%]), cardiac arrest (n = 10 [20%]), and combative behavior (n = 7 [14%]). AT was successful (n = 31[62%]) in 1 to 2 attempts. The primary reason for AT failure was blood or vomit in the airway (n = 8 [42.1%]); 48.1% (n = 25) of patients required a different management mode. Conclusions: HEMS crews had difficulty placing successful ET tubes with this device after minimal education with a single regular-sized device. Difficulty was pronounced when blood or vomit was present and obstructing the optical view. Further study is needed to evaluate the implementation time, training time required, and possible design advantages of the AT compared with those of traditional emergent airway management techniques. © 2013 Air Medical Journal Associates.
A 10-year analysis of 214 HEMS backcountry hoist rescues
Volume 32, Issue 2, March 2013, Pages 98-101
Judi Carpenter | Frank Thomas
Background: Few published studies on civilian helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) hoist programs exist. This study provides a demographic analysis of hoist rescue operations performed by the only FAA Part 135 hoist-approved civilian HEMS operator in the United States. Methods: All persons hoisted between May 29, 2001, and May 28, 2011, were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Over a 10-year period, 212 of 214 victims were hoisted. The most common indications were fall injuries (38%) and being stranded (21%). Victim demographics showed an average age of 35 ± 17years, predominantly male (79%), often associated with trauma (66%), with a majority (68%) of all victims requiring subsequent transport to a hospital by ground ambulance (24%) or flown by Life Flight (44%). Hoists occurred most often in the afternoon (14:07 ± 3:47 hours), during the weekend (53%), in the months of May-September (71%), at an altitude of 7,488 ± 1487 feet, with the seat harness (39%) being the most common mode of victim extraction. Hoist insertion of search and rescue (SAR) personnel occurred infrequently (5%). Conclusion: The results from this demographic study on hoist operations can provide important demographic information for HEMS contemplating backcountry hoist operations and programs that interface with SAR agencies. © 2013 Air Medical Journal Associates.

Introduction: We sought to study the operational and medical aspects of helicopter rescue missions involving the use of a winch. Setting: A single helicopter-based medical service of a pre-alpine region of Switzerland. Methods: We prospectively studied consecutive primary rescue interventions involving winching of a physician, from October 1, 1998 to October 1, 2002. Demographic, medical and operational aspects as well as outcome at 48 hours were analyzed. Results: We included 133 patients. Most (74) were male, with traumatic injuries (77). The median scene time of the nine severely injured patients (Injury Severity Scale [ISS] > 15) was significantly longer compared with the other patients (54 vs 37 minutes; P <.05). The main medical procedures performed were orotracheal intubation (n = 5), fracture reductions (n = 5), major analgesia with sedation (n = 4), and intravenous fluid administration of more than 1,500 mL (n = 4). Fourteen (10) patients suffering from minor injuries were triaged by the physician and not airlifted to the hospital. All 133 patients were alive at 48 hours. Sixty-nine (52) were still hospitalized. No secondary interhospital transfer was required. Conclusion: Our study provides a better knowledge of injury profile, medical aspects, and outcomes of patients rescued necessitating a winching procedure. © 2012 Air Medical Journal Associates.

Commercial aircraft repatriation of patients with pneumothorax
Volume 32, Issue 4, July 2013, Pages 200-202
Francois Xavier Duchateau | Jean Michel Legrand | Laurent Verner | William J. Brady
The transfer of patients with a pneumothorax via a commercial airline involves many medical, aeronautic, and regulatory considerations. In an attempt to further investigate these issues, we reviewed the medical records of 32 patient cases with a pneumothorax who were repatriated on commercial aircrafts. Sixteen patients were transferred with the thoracostomy tube in place and were escorted by medical personnel at an average of 5 days (interquartile range [IQR], 4-7 days) from diagnosis. Five patients without initial intercostal drainage (who either showed very limited air collection or underwent immediate surgical treatment) were all escorted by a physician at an average of 24 days (IQR, 18-25 days) of diagnosis. Eleven patients were transferred without medical escort aboard a commercial flight after removal of the chest tube at an average of 15 days (IQR, 9-17 days) of the diagnosis. This case review suggests that physicians recommend and follow markedly different management plans for the patient with a pneumothorax who is being transferred nonurgently by a commercial airliner. This differing practice management also is noted in the various existing specialty and industry guidelines, which are not evidence based; our review shows that poor agreement exists not only in these various guidelines but also among medical practitioners. © 2013 Air Medical Journal Associates.

Devon Gordon allegedly stole student's phone at McD's, but student took it back by force
After Gordon allegedly tried to steal a student's phone, he was on the receiving end of some vigilante justice.
A student was cracking his books at an Apple Valley McDonald's on November 7 when he was approached by Devon Gordon. According to a police report, Gordon asked the student if he could borrow his phone to make a call.
-- Hamburglar lives! Bag of McDonald's swiped from unsuspecting customer
-- Vikings' Jerome Felton, arrested for DWI in McDonald's drive-thru, was lovin' it too much
The student reluctantly said yes under the condition that Gordon stay near his table while using it. But after handing the phone over, Gordon headed for the exit and turned to say: "Thanks for the phone!"
The student, however, wasn't about to take that lying down. From Apple Valley Patch:
The victim chased Gordon, caught up to him on the median on County Road 42 and tried to convince him to return the phone, but Gordon refused. At one point, the complaint says, Gordon told the victim that he was a "wrestler and a boxer" and that the victim shouldn't "mess with him."
When Gordon tried to put the phone in his pocket, the victim swatted his hand away, and Gordon punched the victim, according to the complaint. Gordon tried to hit the victim four or five times, but the victim blocked his blows, grabbed him around his shoulders and forced him down into mulch on the ground.
The victim wrested his phone away from Gordon and ran back into McDonald's to call 911. Gordon fled the area, but police located him a short distance away, wearing a different shirt than the one that the victim described.
Gordon, for his part, told police it was just a misunderstanding -- he said he was simply outside using the phone when the student somehow got the idea he was trying to steal it, came outside, and assaulted him.
Gordon now faces a felony theft charge that could land him in prison for five years.
