AMAZING, Mar 28, 2010
|reviewer: Valarie from Connecticut, USA
|American Idiot was amazing ! The choreography, stage design, music vocals and dance were top notch. This is a must see ! It's on par with the original HAIR and Rent. If you loved either of those you will love this and the music is memorable and meaningful. This musical has a message and you are enraptured from the opening

First Preview Performance was Great!, Mar 25, 2010
|reviewer: Kelley from Cumberland, RI
|I'm biased because I am a huge Green Day fan, but I thought the show was fabulous. It was a high energy performance that was enhanced by there being no intermission. The show started out immediately with passion and angst, and it kept it up all the way to the very end. The songs from 21st Century Breakdown were fused well into the story line, and it was a real treat to hear some old Green Day music, as well. Green Day was there to support the show and its talented cast. I could see Billie Jo and Mike throughout the performance, and they seemed to be pleased and proud o the production (as well they should be). I thought the set was perfect, and I really liked how the "orchestra" was on stage. I was releived to see that the audience was not 99% teenagers - I was afraid I would be the only "grown up". That proves that this is a show for anyone of any age who likes an intense and explosive rock opera. Go see it!!

Comment Regarding Bridget From Canada Review, Apr 15, 2010
|reviewer: William from San Diego, CA 92111
|Bridget obviously did not have her thinking cap on. She probably did not understand "Hair", nor "Rent" either. Reviewers like this should be required to reveal their level of education. If you tune out, you won't see the marvel and intense insight flawlessly displayed through the intertwining of music and thought in this unbelievably relevant and thought-provoking show. Everyone should experience this musical.

ruined my entire trip, Aug 10, 2010
|reviewer: Debbie from Arkansas
|Why don't you print the truth on your brochures or billboards before tickets are bought on how vulgar the show is? Deplicting sex, partial nudity, drugs, alcohol, and horrible language turned my stomach. An hour of it was more than we could stand so we left.

Breathtaking, Apr 04, 2010
|reviewer: Keith from Connecticut
|They cut no corners in putting this show up: I was blown away by the set, lighting, singing, choreography, and emotional range. When the Extraordinary Girl comes down from the ceiling, I felt like I was flying myself.

Fantastic!!, Mar 31, 2010
|reviewer: Pamela from USA
|I would have used the title "Amazing" for my review if another person hadn't already. In the most literal sense, I was amazed; I absolutely loved it. The set, the actors, the singing, the choreography, the music was incredible/wild/depressing/uplifting/thought provoking/colorful/loud/inventive.

Not so great......., Apr 09, 2010
|reviewer: Bridget from Western Canada
|Everyone in this show is talented, and the music is good - but that is not enough. There is no story here - and a good show needs that. The characters are losers and its difficult to feel any affection for them. Sorry - see this quickly if you want to see it - I am afraid it won't last long.

Great experience, Apr 11, 2010
|reviewer: Bobby from Saco, Maine
|When I first heard this show was on Broadway, I knew immediately I would be attending my first Broadway show. What a way for me to start my Broadway viewing career. The show was amazing and the cast did an outstanding job of portraying a large portion of today's youth. If you think this type of stuff is not going on with today's youth, then you are truly blind or live in a bubble. I hope this show has a long prosperous run on Broadway.

Great show, rotten seats., Apr 27, 2010
|reviewer: KS from North of the Boarder
|Great show, rotten seats. I asked for front row balcony to have a clear view of the stage. Instead I got seats with an obstructed view. The theatre manager basically said – too bad for you and didn't even offer a refund or tickets for another day. American Idiot is Fab, management – not so much.

Not for the young ones, Jul 03, 2010
|reviewer: Andrea from Ohio
|The musical was great but the ushers were rude! Don't even think about getting your phone out to text or take a picture. They yelled constantly instead of banning phone use(no photos aloud) and had little respect for anyone. The musical had a lot of cussing, simulated sex and drug use. Most of it was needed to make the story come full circle but it was a little too much. The pizza place next door is amazing (John's Pizza). BTW, most of the balcony seats are partial views. You really get what you pay for.

Re Comment from Debbie from Arkansas, Sep 14, 2010
|reviewer: New Yorker from NYC
|"Debbie from Arkansas", how about you do a little bit of research before you buy tickets? The fact that the musical is based on Green Day's album should tell you a bit about the content. Maybe you should opt for Mary Poppins instead.

Blown Away !, Jun 09, 2010
|reviewer: Tony Silva from Astoria, New York
|The show is terrific, vibrant, alive and kicking. The set design is amazing, lighting and sound are all top notch. But it's GREEN DAY's Music and the talented cast's endless energey that brings this show to another level. I cannot say enough about Tony Vincent, Stark Sands and the rest of the amazingly talented cast. But it is John Gallagher Jr who turns in a Star making performance. This man is an endless bundle of talent. He is truly awesome and has a long, long career ahead of him. He was great in SPRING AWAKENING and won the TONY for his terrific performance. But I feel, this time around, he was truly deserving of a TONY nomination. I have seen the show 4 times now, because he draws me back. All I can say is , Go See it! It will ROCK you!!

PERFECTION, Aug 11, 2010
|reviewer: Noelle Grace from Florida
|my mother had to beg me to see this with her and i was dreading it up to the opening song. this show was captivating and i wish i could see it once a week. the story is hard core and the actors are amazing and can sing like crazy. if you can afford it the 3rd or 4th row is the best seat in the house. any closer and you get showered with spit and sweat. but its worth every penny. GO GO GO!

BILLIE JOE BROADWAY DEBUT - Best AI Show ever, Sep 29, 2010
|reviewer: Jess from near Philly, PA
|I bought the Broadway cast album the day it was released, and I hate to say was a little disappointed when I first listened to it, but actually seeing it performed made all the difference. This show is that amazing. And the fact that Billie Joe was now part of the cast made it even better. And because its only for a week, spur of moment is not a bad idea. I'm glad I held out on buying tickets so I could see AI with him as St.Jimmy. Even if it last minute, go see this show like, now.

Fans from Boston, Feb 05, 2011
|reviewer: Joy Donohue from Hopkinton, Mass. (Start of Boston Marathon!)
|Hard to believe I have seen American Idiot on Broadway with Billie Joe Armstrong -- four times now -- as I am from Boston! I have taken my family, husband, sons and last weekend, January 30 -- right before the "monster snow storm" -- I ventured again to New York City with five friends just to see the show. It is not too often you get to see a world class rock star perform with top Broadway performers up close and personal. And, that is what you get when you go to the St. James Theatre to see the show. It is outstanding. Everyone in the show pours their heart and soul into their performances -- song arrangements, harmonizing etc., band, choreography, modern set design -- all outstanding. I only hope this review can be conveyed to every individual in the cast. THANK YOU for a job well done, a great experience. I hope to see it again sometime soon -- although many trips from Boston to NYC are starting to add up! Well worth it though! Billie Joe Armstrong keep up the genius work.

d'Arnaud recalled by Mets, belts three-run homer
NEW YORK -- Estimating that his previous struggles were "95-percent mental," catcher Travis d'Arnaud returned to the big leagues Tuesday with something significant to prove. He promptly began that process hours later, smashing a three-run homer in a 10-1 Mets win over the A's.
"Like I said when I left, I knew I had work to do," said d'Arnaud, whom the Mets demoted to Triple-A Las Vegas earlier this month after a prolonged early-season slump. "It was unacceptable, so I had a long look in the mirror with myself, had a good conversation with myself and found myself."
The Mets officially recalled d'Arnaud from Las Vegas prior to Tuesday's game against the A's, placing fellow catcher Taylor Teagarden on the disabled list with a left hamstring strain. That move ensured that Anthony Recker would remain on the roster as d'Arnaud's backup.
But if the Mets have their way, all talk of backups and fill-ins will soon cease. White-hot for his entire two-week stay at Vegas, d'Arnaud hit .436 with six home runs in 15 games for the 51s. The main adjustment, he said, was that he stopped thinking about his mechanics and simply tried to clear his mind during every at-bat.
Whether he can continue to do so at the big league level remains to be seen. The Pacific Coast League is widely recognized as one of the best hitting environments in all of professional baseball, and d'Arnaud has thrived there multiple times in the past. He has yet to succeed at all in the big leagues, however, batting .189 with a .546 OPS over 70 career games entering Tuesday -- but his three-run homer represented a significant step in the right direction.
"I always thought he was a confident kid," manager Terry Collins said. "When you talk to him about everything else, he comes off like he truly believes he's going to be a great player, and everybody still believes that.
"I have no idea what goes on between the ears of players. They're told all the right things, in my opinion. They've got to go apply it."

Inside an Israeli Defense Lab
The Air Force flies all the time, not only for real missions, but also for training, public appearances, and engagement with other nations' militaries. Under the proposed budget cuts, the Air Force says it will reduce flying hours by 18 percent. Areas of vital importance, such as nuclear deterrence, flights over Afghanistan, and Air Force One will be spared. However, units at home will have to sacrifice training flights. Air-show enthusiasts, take note: The Thunderbirds aerobatic team would no longer appear at events.
The Air Force already implemented a hiring freeze for all permanent and temporary employees in January. The next step would be to release all temporary employees deemed not mission-critical—about 3200 people. In an unprecedented move, the Air Force could order a furlough of 180,000 civilians for 22 days to cut costs.

U.S. meat consumption is down, and beef consumption in particular has lost ground, according to the 2013 "Power of Meat" study. Price is a key reason for the decline as beef prices have climbed through a period of tight consumer budgets, but other factors also are involved.
The report, published by the American Meat Institute and the Food Marketing Institute with funding from Cryovac, illustrates the challenges and opportunities the beef industry faces in building sales and market share.
According to the survey results, consumers on average prepare 5.1 home-cooked dinners each week, with 3.6 of those including a portion of meat or poultry, down from 4.1 meals last year. Respondents on average eat 0.9 dinners out each week and order out or carry home the remaining dinner. The report does not cover the contents of the restaurant or home-delivery meals.
The number of consumers reporting they include meat in at least one dinner per week, at 93 percent, was down just one percentage point from 2012 and has held steadily at 93 or 94 percent since 2009. However, just 69 percent report including meat in dinners at least three times per week, compared with 74 percent last year, and 18 percent include a meat item six times per week compared with 23 percent in 2012.
Much of the decline occurred in beef, which is not surprising since beef has experienced larger price increases than pork or poultry in recent years. The report shows retail beef prices increased by 7.4 percent over the past year, and pound sales of beef dropped by 6.3 percent. In contrast, pork prices increased by 0.8 percent and pound sales of pork declined by just 0.3 percent. Chicken prices increased by 4.4 percent, but chicken remains the lowest-priced meat available, and pound sales increased by just under 1 percent.
In addition to price, some consumers indicate health and nutritional concerns as reasons for cutting back on beef or meat in general.
Within the beef category, the report notes many consumers are "trading down" to lower-priced products such as ground beef instead of steak or 80 percent lean ground beef instead of 90 percent lean. Some consumers in higher income groups meanwhile, increasingly trade up to higher-priced meat items as their financial outlook improves.
The report points out that meat shoppers are a diverse group, with different priorities depending on age, gender, region and family status, but the biggest influencing factor is income. Shoppers in the low end of the income scale, with household incomes of $15,000 to $25,000 per year, include meat items in an average of 3.4 dinners per week. That number increases with every step up in household income, with those earning more than $150,000 including meat items in 4.3 dinners per week.
The recession temporarily slowed growth in the more expensive "natural" and "organic" categories, but that growth has picked up again, particularly among higher-income groups. The percentage of people who have purchased natural and organic rose to 26 percent in 2013, and nearly one-quarter of current shoppers expect they will purchase more natural and organic meat and poultry. The main reason consumers purchase these products is a perception they have positive long-term health benefits.
The authors point out that the industry and retailers have an opportunity to boost sales by educating consumers about meat and meat preparation. For example, survey results indicate 40 percent of consumers consider themselves "very knowledgeable" on how to prepare beef, pork or lamb, while 49 percent say they manage and 11 percent say they could use help. Thirty-one percent consider themselves very knowledgeable about the USDA grading system while 54 say they get by and 15 acknowledge they could use help. Just 21 percent consider themselves very knowledgeable about the nutritional content of different cuts of meat, while 59 percent get by and 20 say they could use help.
The full report is available for purchase from the Food Marketing Institute.

Maybe there is application here. When I started I tried every disc I could find. For the first few years I threw backhand because my teachers and everybody who was good threw backhand. I switched to forehand due to injury and moved to Pro. When a disc called the X-Clone came out it was clearly superior to any other disc for forehand (at least for me) and I started throwing it for everything outside of putting range (in differing degrees of broken in). My game vastly improved. I was the ultimate disc minimalist. I carried X-Clones (lots of X-Clones like 13 to 17 of them) and Magnets, nothing else.
When Candy plastic came out I switched to CE Firebirds. But candy plastic takes forever to break in. I tried to beat in Firebirds to get some to go straight or flip and continue in the minimalist way. No luck. So I had to find different molds and transitioned to CE TLs and CE Leopards. So where before I only had one driver, the X-Clone, now I expanded to 3 and stayed that way for a few years. My game continued to improve. New discs kept coming out and I continued to try them, adding them to my bag when they were effective.
I figured out how to throw a midrange forehand and added those, mostly Buzzzes and Rocs. Crushes and Flashes came out. They were great! Z Trackers came out and immediately became my anhyzers drivers. My game continued to get better to the extent I was invited to join Team Discraft. Now I could try out every mold they made in any plastic (for free! Hot Damn!) and tested lots of new discs and prototypes for them. I was exposed to a continual array of different opportunities. My bag lost all homogeneity and became an amalgam of whatever I liked best at the moment. Was there any harm from this Anti-Minimalist approach? Heck no. I won more than ever.
Perhaps there is a natural progression in disc minimalism. It may useful to start as a Minimalist as a new player until a certain degree of competence is achieved after which expanding to more molds becomes the advantage. Break it down to build it up.
This is only my experience so perhaps it has little wider application. I'm not sure. I know that when the Crank came out I had no hesitation to add it to the bag, where it has earned a beloved spot.
As an experienced player having more molds is an advantage. I learn individual discs and how to manipulate them. For example for anhyzer shots I currently carry 5 drivers. 2 are Rogues, 2 are Z Trackers. One of each is fresh and strong, the other is well worn. The last is a beat ESP Nuke. I carry 3 molds because the Nuke glides farther than a Rogue and a Rogue glides farther than a Tracker. So for short tunnels I throw Trackers. You know how hard it is to flip a disc and control it's glide! Once it flips it glides like crazy. It is just as bad to go 50' long as it is to go 50' short.
Sure I could go back to one mold if I wanted to. Why would I do that? Different molds fly differently at different speeds. I can either choose the disc best suited to the line and distance needed for a shot or I can try to force a round peg into a square hole. When you try to force a disc to do something which is unnatural for it you shrink the margin of error. Why make a shot harder than it has to be? For example you can throw a very understable disc into a screaming headwind. Good luck baby.
Now I don't mean to by any means to disregard your expertise, but it seems you are reducing the idea of disc minimalism to a hyperbolic state. What Blake says is to use the least amount of disc molds possible, he doesn't say however to attempt to use a new nuke and try to turn it over on an anhyzer. I carry a max of three different molds in each type of disc, but I like to keep it to two. Understable, stable and overstable.
Look at rocs, I can take dx rocs and beat them in to get stable and Understable and have a kc roc for overstable. One mold but I used different plastic characteristics and stages of wear to get the different discs I need, and I get to stay with a mold I'm extremely comfortable with. Comfort and confidence goes hand in hand.

Not many people can say that they've put in four decades of work in the Lowriding scene, but Santa Ana resident Cruz Alvarez can. For 42 years, Alvarez' heart for Lowriders has been beating strong, and he shows no signs of slowing up now. His first foray into cruising the boulevard was with a 1966 Chevy Malibu, and to give you some perspective, the car had only been out of the factory for four years when he purchased it! Cruz had the Malibu painted in a Metal Flake spray job, lowered and he added chrome wheels to it, giving him the perfect cruiser with which to join his first car club; the Latin Gents. Eventually, he left the Latin Gents and joined a car club from his hometown of Santa Ana, California called Classics Car Club.
Things progressed for Cruz, and in 1974 Cruz married his high school sweetheart, Dolores, and sold the sixty six Malibu. Taking on the responsibilities of starting a family, Cruz felt it best he step away from Classics Car Club to focus on his new life. Through it all, Lowriding never left his heart and after twenty years had gone by, Cruz found a 1952 Chevy Deluxe and brought it home. His brother-in-law, Art Ramirez, was president of Orange County's Old Style Car Club, so Cruz joined the club with his fifty two and once again had a nice car to cruise on the streets of Santa Ana.
Alvarez kept on Lowriding, finding a '56 Ford Truck in 2001, which he instantly purchased and began to tinker with. He liked the overall vibe of the truck, so he didn't go all out on the build; opting instead to keep it simple by lowering it a little and giving it a nice, custom, Purple paint job. What Cruz did next was a rare move by many Lowriders, but a necessary one for all. Realizing how big his fleet of cars was getting, he decided to build a garage big enough to house the vehicles.
The project officially began in 2002, and after much planning, Cruz erected a 40' x 30' structure in his backyard. He decided this would be more than just a space for his dream cars; he wanted it to reflect the history he had in cruising the boulevards so he began to decorate it. Cruz started filling his dream garage with automotive art and Lowriding memorabilia that he had collected throughout the years. Before long, the space had completely been transformed and what was once a garage now resembled a '50s diner!
Of course now that he had a '50s diner, he decided he needed one last decoration. What better to put in a '50s-themed garage than a 1957 Chevy Bel Air! Cruz told his wife, Dolores, that he wanted to find a 1957 Chevy Bel Air convertible. She knew it was his dream car, but she also knew the cost of a restored one was well over $50,000 dollars and since he had just built a garage, she was hesitant to encourage him. She told him, "You have your '52 & '56; you don't need any more cars."
Undeterred, despite what Dolores had told him, Cruz put the word out that he was looking for a restored fifty seven. Every car that came his way was out of state, but he wanted to buy one locally so that he could examine the car thoroughly before making the move to purchase it. One Saturday morning, the phone rang at the Alvarez home. It was a friend of Cruz' calling; his son had found a Bel Air in Los Angeles that was restored and for sale. While he was already prepared for the backlash that his beloved wife would send his way, he nevertheless convinced Dolores to drive with him to see the car later that day. His friend rode down there with him and as they waited for the seller in a McDonald's parking lot; Cruz was fraught with anticipation, hoping it was the car he'd always wanted. Sure enough as the car approached, a stunned Cruz said, "Wow! I want it!" and Dolores said, "Me too!"
The car was beautiful; it was restored and all-original, looking fresh out of the factory. A deal was made and three days later it was sitting in Cruz's dream garage where it fit right in with the decorum.
While she was initially happy he bought the car, ever since Cruz brought the car home, Dolores has had to fight with it for Cruz's attention. Thus, the fifty seven has rightfully been christened as "The Other Woman." While the Chevy may be "The Other Woman;" it will never replace Dolores, who lovingly gave Cruz the green light to bring her home. If you ask Cruz who the car belongs to, he'll tell you that it belongs to both him and his wife. What a smart man. After all, a happy wife equals a happy life!
Tech Specs
"The Other Woman"
Owner: Cruz Alvarez
Vehicle: 1957 Chevy Bel Air Convertible
Car Club: Old Style C.C., Orange County
City/State: Santa Ana, California
Paint: The Bel Air was painted the factory Tropical Turquoise as part of the restoration. Cruz added the one-piece bumpers and the continental kit to the Bel Air after he bought it. Clemente Rodriguez from New Year Chrome Plating in Santa Ana, California took care of all of the chrome plating.
Interior: The interior was refreshed to factory specifications as part of the restoration. Cruz installed the in-car entertainment powered by a remote controlled DVD head unit housed in a custom under dash enclosure that was paint matched to the car. Cruz added the custom painted ice chest in the trunk for use at the shows.
Suspension: The suspension and frame were restored to factory specifications before Cruz had Richie Rodriguez of Garden Grove, California install a custom airbag set up that allows the fifty- seven to lay low, dip the rear end, and lock up the front end. Because the car was a restoration, Cruz did not want to cut up the car for a hydraulic system.
Engine: The 283 was rebuilt and painted to factory specs and Cruz upgraded the battery and added a few chrome and gold pieces to the engine bay.
Wheels: 14-inch Dayton Wire Wheels.
Tires: Premium Sportways 5.20s.

Gramofon looks to be your cloud music jukebox for $50
Posted by Ariel Levin-Waldman Categories: Music, Wireless / WiFi
Gramofon might be named after the 19th century sound system, but it's as modern as it gets. It's a wireless jukebox that streams music from cloud services like Spotify.
It's the latest brainchild of Fon, the crowdsourced W-iFi network. You connect the Gramofon to your speakers and your Wi-Fi network, and it acts as a Wi-Fi booster and gives off a signal that mobile devices can connect to. Those devices can be used to manipulate playlists.
Now, if you are thinking "so how is this any different than plugging speakers into my iPhone?", well, with the Gramofon you can make music more social, as anyone on your network is able to use it. You and your friends can share music, create and modify playlists and otherwise get your groove on.
At first, Gramofon will stream from Spotify and Rhapsody. However, the company plans to add other services like Rdio, Grooveshark, SoundCloud, Pandora, Google Play, Songza, and more. If you're interested, check it out on Kickstarter. Fon has stated that the first batch of Gramofons are ready to ship in July. You can get yourself one by backing it for $50. Check out video of the project after the jump.

OUYA, the Android-based home game console that took Kickstarter by storm, is now available for pre-order on Amazon for those who missed out on the campaign.

The Transporter is a private data sharing and storage device from the folks at Connected Data, a team comprised of many of the same folks who worked on the Drobo. It's able to communicate with every other Transporter device, anywhere in the world, elimination the need for a third-party cloud storage solution for any files stored. Even more impressive? The Transporter is a Kickstarter project that is actually shipping on time - just 20 days after the end of its massively successful campaign. Compare that to other Kickstarter hardware projects, and you'll see just how impressive this is. You can pick up a Transporter with no drive for $199, a model with a 1 TB drive for $299, or a 2 TB version for $399. Hit the break for a video explaining how it all works.

Weekend Reading: Spacehawk, The Dandy, Kirby and Howard Cruse
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Interviews, Movies, Reviews, Dark Horse Comics, DC Comics, Marvel Comics
I'm stuffed with the turkey of Thanksgiving, but there's always time to unstuff some of the internets. Let's take a look at things to read between naps.
This has gotten a lot of play, but it's too funny to not link to: Tom Spurgeon at The Comics Reporter has compiled his list of the 10 Least Powerful People In Comics. Number five made me laugh out loud.
And Spurgeon does it again: I think Howard Cruse is one of the great cartoonists to have emerged from the Underground Comix movement. Spurgeon's interview with him is an excellent read.
The Dandy, the long-running British comic book for kids, is getting cancelled in December and the line-up for the last issue is spectacular - 75 stories in a 100 page issue. I want one. Oh yes I do! Lew Stringer shares some details.

You know who's got a new project up on Kickstarter?
Mike Kunkel, the creator of Herobear whose work I also loved on DC Comics' Billy Batson and The Magic Of Shazam!
Timmy And The Moonpiece is a little bit different - it's not a comic book, it's a 40-page children's picture book. Here's Mike, doing the explaining:

Stabil-i iPhone case promises to eliminate camera shake
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Apple, Cell Phones
After reading through the Stabil-i Case Kickstarter page and viewing the videos, we've gotta say, we're pretty excited about the prospects of a product that promises to make videos you shoot with your iPhone look much more fantastic by virtually eliminating the shakiness. You know what we mean. Your smartphones is typically the camera you have with you at all times, right? If you wanna capture a moment on video, it's likely that you'll bust out your phone rather than a camcorder. The Stabil-i case gets rid of the "shaky cam" look, bringing a level of smoothness to your iPhone videos. A version for the next-generation iPhone 5 is even in the works. The project is currently raising funds on Kickstarter, and has raised $23,140 out of the $80,000 goal, and there are just 4 days left. Check out the video after the break, and if it's something you think you'd like, head on over to the Kickstarter page and pre-order one.

Weekend Reading: Batman, Doonesbury, Killraven and Kickstarter
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Movies, Reviews, DC Comics, Marvel Comics
So the Olympics are finally over, and that means it's time to talk about real heroes, right? Y'know, the ones in capes!
For most of us, we have the belief that Bill Finger is the true creator of everything that made Batman great. Here's why.
Jake Hinkson looks at The Dark Knight Rises and the other two parts of Christopher Nolan's trilogy: "Unlike the set-bound comic-gothic theatrics of Tim Burton's Batman films or the plastic sex-toy quality of Joel Schumacher's films, Batman Begins is a full on epic."

The pivotal, two-year, phase III FREEDOMS study included 1,272 patients with relapsing-remitting MS and examined the safety and efficacy of Gilenya (1.25 mg and 0.5 mg) compared to placebo. Gilenya 0.5 mg demonstrated a statistically significant 54% reduction in annualized relapse rate (ARR) compared to placebo at two years. The new post-hoc analysis assessed the efficacy of Gilenya compared to placebo among patients who had received previous treatment with disease modifying therapies (DMTs) and showed that Gilenya 0.5 mg reduced the ARR compared to placebo in all cases.
Among the patients who discontinued their prior treatment due to inadequate efficacy, Gilenya 0.5 mg reduced the ARR by 69% compared to placebo (Gilenya 0.5 mg, n=41, ARR=0.291; placebo, n=38, ARR=0.931). For patients who stopped their prior treatment due to side effects, Gilenya 0.5 mg reduced the ARR by 36% compared to placebo (Gilenya 0.5 mg, n=73, ARR=0.329; placebo, n=79, ARR=0.517). Patients also demonstrated reductions in relapses compared to placebo regardless of duration of prior DMT treatment. Gilenya 0.5 mg also reduced annualized relapse rate compared to placebo for patients who had never previously received DMTs for their MS [placebo 0.456, Gilenya 0.166, P<0.0001.]
"Treatment side effects or suboptimal response often leads to switching disease modifying therapy (DMT) for patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis," said Barry Singer, MD, Director of The MS Center for Innovations in Care at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. "These data add to the growing body of evidence that supports the role of Gilenya as an efficacious treatment option for patients previously treated with other DMTs."
Novartis is also presenting an analysis of five studies assessing Gilenya (0.5 mg, 1.25 mg and 5.0 mg) in more than 4,000 patients with relapsing-remitting MS across diverse geographies, including the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan. Patients treated with Gilenya 0.5 mg for duration of six months to two years showed a reduction in ARR by nearly 50% vs placebo and interferon beta-1a IM [FREEDOMS: 54% p<0.05; FREEDOMS II: 48% p<0.05; TRANSFORMS: 52% p<0.05]. Gilenya 0.5 mg also increased the proportion of patients who remained free from relapse during the study period when compared to placebo [FREEDOMS: 70.4% to 45.6%] and to interferon beta-1a IM [TRANSFORMS: 82.6% to 69.3%]. The proportion of patients who were relapse-free at two years in the FREEDOMS II study has not yet been reported.
About Gilenya™ (fingolimod)
Gilenya, licensed from Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, is the first in a new class of drugs called sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor (S1PR) modulators. Gilenya works by targeting S1P receptors that exist in the cardiovascular, central nervous and immune systems. In targeting the S1P receptor, initiation of treatment with Gilenya is known to be associated with bradycardia (slowing of the heart rate) and atrioventricular (AV) block (a problem with electrical impulse conduction in the heart).
Gilenya is an effective prescription medicine proven to decrease the number of MS flare-ups (relapses) and slow down the physical problems MS causes. In a two-year study, Gilenya reduced annualized MS relapses by 54% (0.18 vs. 0.40; p<0.001) and 52% (0.16 vs. 0.33; p<0.001) at one year, when compared with placebo and interferon beta-1a IM, respectively. Additionally, Gilenya showed a 30% reduction in the risk of 3-month confirmed disability (p<0.05; key secondary endpoint) compared to placebo.
GILENYA is a prescription medicine used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) in adults. GILENYA can decrease the number of MS flare-ups (relapses). GILENYA does not cure MS, but it can help slow down the physical problems that MS causes.
Important Safety Information
You should not take GILENYA if in the last 6 months you experienced heart attack, unstable angina, stroke or warning stroke, or certain types of heart failure. Do not take GILENYA if you have an irregular or abnormal heartbeat (arrhythmia) or if you take medicines that change your heart rhythm.
GILENYA may cause serious side effects such as:
- Slow heart rate, especially after your first dose. A test to check the electrical activity of your heart (ECG) will be performed before and six hours after your first dose. Your pulse and blood pressure should be checked every hour while you stay in a medical facility during this time. If your heart rate slows down too much, you might feel dizzy or tired, or feel like your heart is beating slowly or skipping beats. Symptoms can happen up to 24 hours after your first dose. After 6 hours, if your ECG shows any heart problems or if your heart rate is still too low or continues to decrease, you will continue to be watched by a health care professional. If you have any serious side effects after your first dose, especially those that require treatment with other drugs, you will stay in a medical facility to be watched overnight and for at least 6 hours after your second dose of GILENYA the next day. If you experience slow heart rate, it will usually return to normal within 1 month. Call your doctor or go to the nearest emergency room right away if you have any symptoms of a slow heart rate. If you stop taking GILENYA for more than 14 days, you will need to repeat this observation.
- Increased risk of serious infections. GILENYA lowers the number of white blood cells (lymphocytes) in your blood. This will usually go back to normal within 2 months of stopping GILENYA. Your doctor may do a blood test before you start GILENYA. Increased risk of infection was seen with doses higher than the approved dose (0.5 mg). Two patients died who took higher-dose GILENYA (1.25 mg) combined with high-dose steroids. Call your doctor right away if you have fever, tiredness, body aches, chills, nausea, or vomiting.
- Macular edema, a vision problem that can cause some of the same vision symptoms as an MS attack (optic neuritis), or no symptoms. Macular edema usually starts in the first 3 to 4 months after starting GILENYA. Your doctor should test your vision before you start GILENYA; 3 to 4 months after you start GILENYA; and any time you notice vision changes. Vision problems may continue after macular edema has gone away. Your risk of macular edema may be higher if you have diabetes or have had an inflammation of your eye (uveitis). Call your doctor right away if you have blurriness, shadows, or a blind spot in the center of your vision; sensitivity to light; or unusually colored vision.
- Breathing problems. Some patients have shortness of breath. Call your doctor right away if you have trouble breathing.
- Liver problems. Your doctor should do blood tests to check your liver before you start GILENYA. Call your doctor right away if you have nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, loss of appetite, tiredness, dark urine, or if your skin or the whites of your eyes turn yellow.
- Increases in blood pressure (BP). BP should be monitored during treatment.
GILENYA may harm your unborn baby. Talk to your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Women who can become pregnant should use effective birth control while on GILENYA, and for at least 2 months after stopping. If you become pregnant while taking GILENYA, or within 2 months after stopping, tell your doctor right away. Women who take GILENYA should not breastfeed, as it is not known if GILENYA passes into breast milk. A pregnancy registry is available for women who become pregnant during GILENYA treatment. Call 1-877-598-7237 or visit www.gilenyapregnancyregistry.com for more information.
Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you had or now have an irregular or abnormal heartbeat; history of stroke or warning stroke; heart problems; a history of fainting; a fever or infection, or if you are unable to fight infections; eye problems; diabetes; breathing or liver problems; or high blood pressure. Also tell your doctor if you have had chicken pox or have received the vaccine for chicken pox. Your doctor may do a test for the chicken pox virus, and you may need to get the vaccine for chicken pox and wait 1 month before starting GILENYA.
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including medicines for heart problems or high blood pressure or other medicines that may lower your heart rate or change your heart rhythm; medicines that could increase your chance of infections, such as medicines to treat cancer or control your immune system; or ketoconazole (an antifungal) by mouth. If taken with GILENYA, serious side effects may occur. You should not get certain vaccines while taking GILENYA, and for at least 2 months after stopping.
The most common side effects with GILENYA were headache, flu, diarrhea, back pain, abnormal liver tests, and cough.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

With black unemployment on the rise across the country, local politicians would do better to worry more about allowing businesses to thrive in minority communities rather than taxing those businesses for serving sodas. Unfortunately, it looks like blue California is learning all the wrong lessons from blue New York.
The 2012 presidential election has brought the coalition of white "progressives" and African American and Hispanic groups together into a powerful force that may well re-elect President Obama. But that coalition is more fragile than it looks; many liberal white "progressives" scoff at the economic growth agenda that minority communities desperately need. Win or lose tomorrow, GOP operatives and policy wonks should think deeply about what is happening in Richmond; the biggest long term divide in America may be between those who think we need more growth and those who think our economy is too big and too vulgar already.

En Gypsy Couture 019: Status Quo from the Isle of Strega
It's been incredibly busy here at the secret strega house. So I thought I'd show you a little of what's been going on. I started painting the wardrobe trunk! Finally all my bohemian dreams are coming true.
First in progress shot.
And where it's up to now.
I designed this business card for Anya Kless.
Went to the Biennial opening at the Whitney with Brooklyn Hellbetty. We also hit up the Guggenheim opening for "Being Singular Plural". Photos by Gillian (Brooklyn Hellbetty).
I drew a little sketch of Eleggua at the Biennial.
I wore this to the Guggenheim opening. Getting some witchy Frida Kahlo on.
Melissa Dowell and I at New Museum's "Ungovernables" opening.
The New Museum sent me this gift card for Joe Fresh. Of course my hair got in the way of the great design of the shirt but I like it anyway.
Photo by Amanda Nadal editing by moi.
Silent James sent me this wonderful package including his book Three and both this gorgewous print and wonderful painting of me as Lucrezia Guerierri in Speakeasy Dollhouse.
Other highlights: Veronika von Volkova came for a visit. Literary Death Match had their 6th birthday here in NYC. It was great to have Todd Zuniga back in town. Dean Haspiel one of my favorite people around won. All around we were surrounded by good people. Beneath the Half Moon started up with circles again now that Sherene is back from India. It's a busy time in the life of La Gitana but totally worth every moment. More updates soon.

Contrary to contemporary beliefs that the spooky holiday originated with vampires and werewolves -- or even more sinister, candy and costume companies -- CU associate professor of history Scott Bruce notes that Halloween's origins lie in ancient Pagan harvest festivals practiced by the Celts, and Christian traditions.
Bruce explained that Salann, a celebratory Celtic festival during the Roman period, took place at the end of harvest season and before the cold weeks of winter began. However, the Romans cast Celtic food preparations, which included practices such as animal slaughter, in a very negative light.
The Romans had "no interest in portraying barbarian peoples in a positive way," explained Bruce, an expert in medieval history, "so, we have to understand that a lot of our understanding of the Pagan ritual is mediated through a hostile source."
Not all conceptions of Halloween, however, are quite so insidious. The timing of the autumnal holiday comes when days shorten and nightfall arrives sooner.
Another influence on the holiday's present day identity comes from Christian celebrations, the Feast of All Saints and the Feast of All Souls.
"The poor people at the time of All Saints and All Souls would go from house to house to house and there they could expect to receive an offering of food and this was called souling," said Bruce. "In popular tradition, the giving of the soul cake" -- which Bruce explains is a wafer-like sweet that was handed out to those house-to-house travelers -- "was good for the soul of the giver." The consumption of a soul cake, Bruce explains, represents a soul that will be released from purgatory.
Public misbehavior in the late 19th century also plays a part in the holiday's mordern practices.
"Young people, especially young boys, began to perform pranks and to engage in minor acts of vandalism," said Bruce. Many individuals opposed this behavior and in response, attempted to "sanitize the rowdiness of individuals who in the late 19th century took it as an opportunity to go a little wild." These sanitation attempts led to the commercialization of the holiday.
Bruce concluded that though there are not concrete connections between the Pagan and Christian traditions, there are legends that have persisted across time.
"What pre-modern people may have shared is this sensibility that as the days got shorter and as the night encroached upon their lives, the membrane between the world of the living and the dead was thinner," said Bruce. This explains our modern fascination with haunting and fantastical entertainment during the days leading up to Halloween.
By the 1920's, the holiday began to resemble the Halloween we celebrate today. Trick-or-treaters visiting the doorsteps of neighboring houses today still receive sweets -- even if the meaning of the tradition has changed -- and movies and haunted houses continue to feature plots with lost souls and interactions between the living and the dead.
Today, the festive holiday generates more than $3 billion every year -- one of the highest grossing holidays, second only to Christmas.

Although Hurricane Sandy's potential landfall in northwest Connecticut is still only a possibility, emergency management personnel and chief elected officials are taking precautions to ensure public safety and minimize incidents within their power.
Last year's October nor'easter left thousands of state residents without power for up to a week in some parts of the state, causing governmental officials to become short with utility companies and executives -- Connecticut Light & Power saw the resignation of its chief executive -- and many miscommunications between local emergency personnel and state directors. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy this summer attempted to better prepare townships with emergency situations by mandating a two-day "play storm" exercise, which received praise by local emergency directors and dissent by municipal politicians.
With all of it in the past, the decision-makers are hoping their preparations will benefit the overall community.
"We always prepare for the worst and hope for the best," said Torrington Emergency Management Director Rick Dalla Valle.
City officials encourage residents to abide by the "three-day rule" -- preparing for three days without power by stocking and rationing water, batteries, flashlights, blankets, battery-powered radios and food -- and mention, "If you don't have to go anywhere, don't," Dalla Valle said.
Torrington began its conference calls and planning Friday morning, and by Sunday, city officials will have a better grasp on the weather preparations. Each department head is "up to par" on their responsibilities, according to Dalla Valle, and if need be, "the call" will be made for shelters and possible food aid from the state.
"We're trying to be proactive rather than reactive," Dalla Valle said.
The October nor'easter and August's Tropical Storm Irene proved a tough 2011 for emergency management personnel and disaster staff, but it also provided experience, according to officials.
"I think the state and the towns are a lot better prepared now than they were a year ago," Barkhamsted First Selectman Donald Stein said. "People are more aware and there are plans in place to accommodate people in need. There has been a lot of work done by the volunteers to get ready."
Stein said Barkhamsted residents should be expecting an e-mail from him, making sure the residents are aware of what they need to do to get ready for the storm and to provide necessary contact information, if needed.
Litchfield Emergency Management Director Thomas O'Hare said the town is "much better prepared than last year" and the "training in the summer helped that." Litchfield officials met Friday to go over their checklists and management plans -- from the public works department to the fire departments -- and will meet again on Sunday or Monday.
O'Hare encourages residents to take precautions they might not have thought of: cleaning gutters, tying down anything that could be picked up by wind, and even removing political lawn signs. "Those things become flying objects; they're dangerous," he said.
Harwinton residents will be receiving updates through the town's reverse phone system, and First Selectman Michael Criss encourages anyone needing a ride to call him at 860-485-3791. The Senior Center will be set aside for anyone with special needs.
Colebrook First Selectman Tom McKeon echoed similar alerts, telling residents to expect e-mail updates regarding shelters and what town buildings might be open. Colebrook's fire department and senior center are set aside for shelters.
Next door, in Norfolk, First Selectman Susan Dyer said her residents "have been through this before" and they "will know to have a generator and food and water.
"We've done as much as we can for the flooding and hope it won't be as bad as they're predicting," she added.
"We don't know what Sandy may ultimately bring to us, but there could be flooding or wind damage that would disrupt power and potentially force people to leave their homes," American Red Cross spokesman Paul Shipman said. "We want people to be ready to spend a few days without power or to be able to leave their homes quickly, if ordered."
Litchfield First Selectman Leo Paul said they had a preparatory meeting on Friday night with the staff that serves the emergency operation center. They plan to lay out what plans are depending on when the storm comes to the region and what the determining factors are.
They have spoken to the emergency shelters to make sure the equipment is in place and have ordered sand bags. They have people working through the day including public works and the town's emergency operation director.
Watertown Master Sgt. David Bromley who is also the town's emergency management director said they had a meeting on Friday to get everything finalized and are continuing to monitor the storm.
The highway department was out on Friday cleaning up catch basins and topping off fuel tanks for all the generators in town buildings and emergency management center.
Mr. Bromley said they will be notifying residents through the town's emergency notification system once they start opening up the shelters they will let residents know.
In Thomaston, First Selectman Ed Mone said discussions have begun with the town's police chief and a preliminary meeting has been set for Saturday at 4 p.m. with all the necessary people in the town's emergency management including the police chief, fire chief, the president of the ambulance corps, the highway and public works department to get plans in place with another meeting on Monday.
An emergency operations center will be activated on Monday. Immediate action includes having the public works and highway crew take care of catch basins making sure they are clear and that drainage courses are open.
"You do what you can do in advance," said Mr. Mone. Mr. Mone said they are closing up any road work that is going on at the moment to prevent any major incidents during the storm.
For more information, contact the town at 860-283-4421.
In Morris, First Selectman Barbara Bongiolatti said the crew was out on Friday pushing leaves and cleaning up catch basins all of the necessary trucks are out.
The town has had a tree company in for a week cutting branches and cutting back of the electrical lines.
Mrs. Bongiolatti said the town's emergency management director is on notice and the fire department is prepared.
"I am getting up to the minute updates from the emergency regional director's office," said Mrs. Bongiolatti. "Everybody is on board this time."
For information, contact town hall at 860-567-7431 or the Fire Department at 860-567-7441.
Woodbury First Selectman Gerald Stomski said the town of Woodbury is encouraging residents to prepare for the storm. They are asking that everyone sign up for Code-Red notifications. Everyone is encouraged to go to the Web site and click on the Code Red Web link on the bottom of the page to sign up, according to a release sent by Mr. Stomski. Keep in mind if you sign up on your land line and the phone are down you may not get the messages. Sign up for as many ways to be ensured of getting important emergency messages.
If there are any questions you can call the Emergency Management Director Randy Ashmore at 203-695-3037.
"The town of Woodbury encourages all of its citizens to prepare for the pending storm, prepared for prolonged heavy winds, driving rain, potential snow and possible extended and prolonged power outages," said Mr. Stomski in a release.
They also encourage that people use their e-mail contacts as a contact to inform friends and family members especially their elderly family members. They had their first emergency management meeting at 10 a.m. on Friday going over a brief of the storm and meeting again on Sunday at 2 p.m. along with putting updates on the Web site at www.woodburyct.org.
According to Mr. Stomski, there will be further updates about how to prepare for the storm, shelters, emergency contact information, and other related storm information. Please monitor the towns' website for additional updates.
New Milford Mayor Pat Murphy said they are reviewing all their equipment and reminding the public to maintain their emergency kits. Monday they will have all of their four-wheel drive vehicles are ready.
Ms. Murphy said they have restricted time-off for police next week.
"We do so much training around here just making aware we may need them," said Ms. Murphy.
Ms. Murphy said they do a fair amount of training in town including evacuation training, house emergency training and any kind of flood emergency training. Detour scenarios are outlined.
"We have our shelter teams notified in case of a long power outage," said Ms. Murphy.
The town has been working with CL&P and supporting CL&P with regard to a tree trimming program. New Milford, according to Ms. Murphy, spends over $100,000 a year just trimming trees.
"We're just tightening everything down, restricting traveling next week and alerting everyone," said Ms. Murphy.
If it is needed the town will open an Emergency Operation Center in the ambulance facility.

When I was growing up here in Washington state there were certain things we knew of about history and our surrounding area. One of them was that the famous 'surrender' ship USS Missouri was berthed here in Bremerton, inside (as it was then known) Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. You could see it from Navy Yard Highway as you came into town, and seeing it, you were impressed by its enormous size.
USS Missouri – (BB 63) 1987
I have a couple photos we took back in the mid 1980's when Jim's dad was here for a visit. He is a WWII veteran (see [intlink id="371″ type="post"]Low Moor, Iowa Honors WWII Vets[/intlink] ) and was anxious to take the tour of the old battleship. His ship, the Cape Esperance was a Casablanca class escort carrier. As with everyone of his generation, he knew well the name of the USS Missouri.
Also in our party as we toured the ship was Loren's daughter Lorrie and her son Brent, as well as our son Greg. I doubt that the two young boys had as much interest in the ship at the time as their grandfather because they had no point of reference then.
As an added bonus to this post, here is an additional photo, this one of the USS New Jersey as it looked in 1983. If my memory serves, it was stationed in California at the time at Long Beach. This Day in History – July1, 1985 the New Jersey was undergoing upkeep in Long Beach.
Sadly, the Missouri left the Bremerton area for good in 1985, but that wasn't the last time she would see service in war time. She was reactivated in the early 1990's to be used in the Gulf War. During one period of use her 16 inch guns fired over 800 projectiles. She was finally decommissioned in March of 1992. Her permanent berth is now adjacent to the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The New Jersey is located in Camden, New Jersey

How Do the Profound Meditation Programs Work?
PMP 3.0 uses iAwake's unique Biofield Entrainment Technology, which integrates proven brainwave entrainment principles with digital encoding of the newest insights from the fields of energy medicine and brain research.
iAwake audio technology goes beyond conventional binaural sound techniques by incorporating multiple layers of exclusive entrainment technologies, psychoacoustic techniques, customized dynamic brainwave patterns, and energetic biofield principles to support a more natural meditation experience.
Immerse yourself in a rich and soothing soundscape of sonic textures while layers of audible and inaudible tones, frequencies, and energies work synergistically with your brain and biofield, opening up new neural pathways, nudging existing ones, and facilitating coherence in your biofield and energetic system. Your brain receives a gentle workout, leaving you invigorated and refreshed, providing coherence in the outer—so you can master the inner.
What You Will Receive in the Starter Kit— More Than Two Hours of Audio. Includes 6 tracks, plus a 20-minute bonus track.
- Primary Meditation Tier 1. The foundation for a transformative daily meditation practice. Just like great musicians and athletes have core exercises or routines that they always return to, you'll want to come back to these tracks again and again—even if you consider yourself experienced or advanced. (3 tracks, 60 minutes)
- Releasing Meditation. Innovative tracks that allow your brain and body to integrate and rest between periods of more intensive meditation. These tracks evoke the brainwave patterns scientifically correlated with deep emotional release. Use them on days when you feel the need to recover or to release emotional blocks and tensions. (3 tracks, 60 minutes)
- Bonus! Flow State. Included with your PMP 3.0 Starter Kit option, this session entrains your mind to a set of precise frequencies arranged to facilitate effortless focus, accelerated learning, engaged cognitive functioning, and peak performance. (1 track, 20 minutes)
"iAwake technologies have continued their pioneering research into brain/mind sound technology with their latest release of Profound Meditation 3.0. I've been a fan of their products from the beginning, and I can say that they just keep getting better. So if you've never tried binaural beat technology—and especially if you have!—by all means check out their latest. I think you won't be disappointed."
—Ken Wilber, The Integral Vision
Evolve and deepen your spiritual life. Establish a daily practice that sticks. The most important thing about meditation is actually doing it. Profound Meditation makes it easy to love your practice, so you're more likely to meditate regularly—and reap the benefits.
Enhance your focus, flow, and performance. Meditation is not just about sitting still. It's about showing up in the world with capacity, integrity, and strength. When you can be with your own mind, you can handle anything.
Experience deep and more restful sleep. Do you wake up groggy? Are you tired of being tired? Discover how your quality of sleep improves when your brain learns how to relax deeply on a regular basis.
Recover quickly from stress. Relieve stress, anxiety, and depression, fortifying your brainwave and biofield patterns to respond with greater confidence to whatever life throws at you.
Discover how easy it is to meditate. You don't need to be a monk or recite secret mantras to experience the profound benefits of meditation. Simply put on your headphones, press play, sit quietly, breathe, and listen.
Enter the zone more easily. Find increased vigor, power, and engagement in work, play, and all your practices—sports, yoga, weight training, etc.
Clear your mind. Stop the feeling of constant distraction. Cultivate laser-like focus in your projects and deep presence in your life.
Three ways the Profound Meditation Starter Kit can transform your meditation—and your life:
- Realize deeper states of clarity, freedom, and insight—more consistently. If you've struggled with traditional meditation or starting a meditation practice—or if you already have a practice but feel you've been stuck on one level for too long—Profound Meditation can make your meditation sessions more powerful, more blissful, more … there. The more you feel it working, the more motivated you feel to meditate. And the more you meditate, the more the benefits ripple throughout your life.
- Dissolve difficult emotions and improve psychological resilience. As the Buddha said, "Life involves suffering." Everyone experiences stress, anxiety, frustration, fear, pain, and sadness at times. But how we deal with suffering is up to us. The more we practice meditation, the easier it becomes to face stressful situations and process difficult emotions. Profound Meditation is designed to help us release negativity and live with greater lightness, flexibility, resilience, and joy.
- Accelerate personal growth and realize your higher potentials. We all have unique capacities and gifts just waiting to bloom. Perhaps for you that's a writing, musical, or visually artistic talent. Or a gift for empathy and healing. Or it might include intuition, lucid dreaming, or mystical union. Profound Meditation supports self-actualization by cultivating brainwave and biofield states found in advanced meditators, peak performers, and creative geniuses.
Profound Meditation and Traditional Meditation
Profound Meditation is not a replacement for traditional meditation. Rather, it enhances your meditation practice. The wise and balanced use of technology can improve lives, and iAwake recommends using Profound Meditation in conjunction with your preferred meditation technique, which could involve breath awareness, witnessing, visualization, mantra, or any other form. The iAwake user guide provides simple meditation instructions that anyone can follow.

- Review for PMP 3.0 - Starter Kit Review by Mary Jo D
I hate to say it but I was a little disappointed I this product. I suppose it's difficult to review very well because of the nature of the product. It is totally experiential. But I can't say I have noticed any significant benefit.

- Review for PMP 3.0 - Starter Kit Review by Linda T.
I have used other brainwave entrainment technologies but this one seems to work best for me. When my mind doesn't want to settle down, the technology may take almost a full 20 minutes to "entrain" but eventually I'm in a deep state. Often, I will pull the plug for the headphones out of my Ipod, then I can stay in that deep state for as long as I wish.

FAIRMONT, W.Va. — A suspect in the 1974 slayings of three people in Fairmont won't be prosecuted.
Marion County prosecutor Pat Wilson tells media outlets that he plans to ask the circuit court to dismiss first-degree murder and conspiracy charges against Phillip Reese Bush.
The decision follows a recent West Virginia Supreme Court ruling that reinstated two unrelated first-degree murder convictions against Bush. Wilson said Bush is serving two life sentences without the possibility of parole for those convictions.
Wilson also said dismissing the charges in the 1974 case will save the county tens of thousands of dollars in prosecution costs.
Bush and Eddie Jack Washington were charged with killing 20-year-old Lester Phillips, 19-year-old Wanda Jane Phillips and 27-year-old Billy Ray Cobb. Washington entered pleas to conspiracy charges last year.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo reached an agreement late Friday with federal authorities to reopen the Statue of Liberty amid the ongoing federal government shutdown, his office and the National Park Service said.
The state will pay the daily cost of $61,600 to keep Liberty Island National Park open to visitors, according to the agreement. The island—home to the Statue of Liberty–will reopen this weekend, the governor's office said.
The agreement, under which the state will donate funds to the National Park Service for the exclusive purpose of reopening the monument, gives money to the park for six days starting Saturday at the total amount of $369,300. State officials said they plan to fund the operations indefinitely as long as the shutdown continues. The money would fund wages, ferries and other operations at the park.
The island and the national monument had been closed since Oct. 1 because of the federal government shutdown. A Cuomo administration official said the governor recently initiated talks with the National Park Service, which maintains the Statue of Liberty, to reopen it despite the dispute in Washington.
The Statue of Liberty's "closure these last 12 days has had a terrible impact on the local economy and tourism industry," Mr. Cuomo said in a news release. "Every day that Liberty Island is closed means we are losing visitors who would otherwise be spending at our local businesses–not to mention the employees who maintain the park and have been forced out of work."
Liberty Island has been closed on several occasions in recent years, including in the aftermath of superstorm Sandy. The statue was reopened on July 4. The entire island was closed for several months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and the statue was inaccessible to visitors for nearly three years. The crown of the statue didn't reopen until 2009.
"This is a practical and temporary solution that will lessen the pain for some businesses and communities in New York during this shutdown," said U.S Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell in a news release.

The study team aims to conduct a double-blind, placebo-controlled, pilot study to assess the effect of prophylactic antipyretics on the immune responses and rates of fever after inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) in children 12 through 35 months of age. In this pilot, 40 healthy children, 12 through 35 months of age, including some children at risk of febrile seizure, will be randomized to receive prophylactic acetaminophen or oral placebo immediately following and every 4 to 6 hours in the 24 hours after receipt of a dose of IIV. Data derived from the pilot study will be used to assess the feasibility of conducting a larger scale study. Feasibility will include assessments of the speed and ease of study recruitment and adherence to and completion of study assessments. Children will be followed for the occurrence of fever, fussiness, changes in appetite and sleep patterns, and use of medical services on the day of and day following vaccination. Antibody to influenza antigens contained in the 2013-2014 vaccine as measured by hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) antibody will be assessed at baseline and four weeks following vaccination. The proportions of children experiencing fever, having solicited reactions, using medical services, demonstrating a serologic response corresponding to seroprotection and seroconversion to each of the IIV antigens will be determined for groups of children receiving acetaminophen and placebo. Likewise geometric mean HAI titers (GMT) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals for each IIV antigen will be calculated for both vaccine groups.
