Alexey Gridnev real name and surname of the artist. Alex was born in Siberia, in not the big city of Bratsk, where frost, snow drifts and the lack of culture drum & bass music. Alex engaged in their own development, in terms of creativity. In dreams of this guy, always had a desire to leave his hometown, in more suitable for the culture.
the Chiller got carried away with music since high school. It's been hot the 90th. At that time he has been revered idols: the Prodigy, Junkie XL, the Crystal Method, Chemical(Dust) Brothers, Orbital, Massive Attack, Moloko, Fat Boy Slim, Paul Oakenfold etc.
Later, having entered the Lyceum, he found on store shelves, audio media, called "Ganja Bass". Clicking the play button on audio tape, he joined in this madness, and I realized that here it is - his music.
Immediately fit the spirit Neuro sounds dirty mid line and bass line literally penetrated into the blood. This does not explain. After that, the Chiller began to look a corresponding software. Soon after accidentally became acquainted with Anton Mighty, he graciously shared with the Chiller, the program Reason 2.0. Together they created a joint Projects, and it was only a familiarity with the product.
In 2004, the first steps to study the program and Producing. Between 2006 and late 2007, the Chiller engaged Trip Hop music, but a change of scenery, the purchase of more studio-quality equipment level, to communicate with people on the forums and all the resources of this sub genre, once again directs it to Neurofunk sound.
At this point allocates to itself as idols: Phace, Noisia, Misanthrop, Nphect, Break, Nickbee, Nphonix, Enei, Konflict, Skeptic, Ed Rush, Optical, Chase & Status, EZ Rollers, Teebee, Koma+Bones, Mayhem etc.
Creativity of the Chiller is the dark side, eerie atmosphere and cool the structure. It can be felt when listening to his creations. Neurofunk, Techstep is perhaps his favorite lines ...

You shoot monsters
We're definitely seeing a trend of developers bringing their mobile phone games onto the 3DS eShop. That's set to continue, with Gamelion offering up Monster Shooter (not to be confused with Monster Hunter!).
Monster Shooter has been popular on smartphones, with over 5 million downloads to date. The game features Dum Dum, a creature on the lower rungs of the intelligence ladder, who sets off on an alien killing spree to save his pet cat. Here's a trailer:
Any takers?
danfango said:
It looks alright. The general trend worries me, though. If developers don't put added effort into porting these phone games over, we will end up with mediocrity flooding the eshop.

PlayStation All-Stars final boss is mathematical
PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale is polished off and ready to ship, and Sony Santa Monica marks this glorious occasion with a video of the complete opening cinematic, which teases the game's final boss. Brace yourselves – it's Polygon Man.
Polygon Man was Sony's mascot for the PlayStation in mid-90s North America, but was replaced before the actual console launch. With that in mind, he probably holds a fair bit of resentment for the PlayStation franchises popular enough to make it into Battle Royale.
Check out the complete opening cinematic above, with Polygon Man looming over everything right at the end. Battle Royale launches on November 20.

Its the way Toyota handled it. It was the comment back in October pointing to dumb American drivers. It was the floor mats. It was the dealership that installed the wrong floor mats. It was the supplier. Its a company that has utilized superior marketing to dupe Americans into a false sense of security, while consistently hiding flaws in un-superior product and lavishing awards by such organizations as CR. Back to the supplier, do you think throwing a supplier under the bus is the answer? CTS built the parts to Toyota specifications, and Toyota is in charge of quality control for those parts, a step they failed to follow up on. In the press release they should have never mentioned the parts supplier. However in true Toyota dismay they implicated the supplier and probably just guaranteed a pending liquidation of the company, that which I might add employs Canadians and Americans. What about those folks? "Risk Management" does not absolve any product manufacturer from liability when death or serious injury results from a deliberately-ignored design flaw in the product and Toyota is about to learn that lesson in a big way. Further, I still believe this is yet another attempt of smoke and mirrors to buy time for the Toyota legal department to attempt laying blame on anyone and everyone. The issue will be found in the software of the drive by wire.
In contrast, look at the way Honda just handled their recall. No excuses, just open and valid points.We have a problem and now we have a recall. Case closed- soon to be forgotten.
It was the Ford Pinto I see people bringing up the pinto all of a sudden. In that day and time, all subcompact were built the same i.e. without the bladder. Corollas, Pacers, Vegas, Civics. Golfs etc and they all had the same problems. Yet I would imagine 80% of American havent the slightest clue.
This just starts the conversation, but let me tell you this. Toyota made this problem, Toyota will feel this problem, and Toyota will pay for this problem dearly. AS far as Im concerned, kick them when their down. Enjoy it, amplify it and magnify it, market it. Toyota is the Audi of the new millennium.

Product Type: Trebor Food
Newest Review: ... actual initial taste of the gum is pretty much what you would expect from Trebor, it's a strong mint flavor with a burning sensation ... more
Minty fresh
Extra Strong Trebor Gum
Member Name: heynonnynonny
Extra Strong Trebor Gum
Date: 06/01/10
Advantages: Slightly cheaper, and nicer than Wrigleys
Disadvantages: Sorbitol can cause effects if consumed too heavily
My friend at work offered me a piece of this chewing gum, and I have to say I enjoy it far more than Wrigleys equivalents. They are owned and made by Cadbury who also produce the Trident range of chewing gums. THe success of Extra Strong Mints by Trebor, or ROBERT if you spell it backwards, has led to the launch of these into the chewing gum sector!
Price =
About 35p, and have as yet not seen it in that many places so maybe is it a new product, cos I have never tried it before a few weeks ago!! I have seen it in B and M bargain madness, but not really looked out for it anywhere else. No doubt it is available within supermarkets and confectioners and the like.
The wrapping is paper foil style with an easy open end which stays secure so they do not all fall out in your bag or pocket, I hate it when they get loose and escape all over your bag!!
There is a warning on the back of the packet stating that excessive consumption may produce laxative effects, probably this is due to the containing of the Sorbitol ingredient. Sorbitol is a sugar substitute. It may be listed under the inactive ingredients listed for some foods and products. Sorbitol is referred to as a nutritive sweetener because it provides dietary energy: 2.6 kilocalories (11 kilojoules) per gram versus the average 4 kilocalories (17 kilojoules) for carbohydrates. It often is used in diet foods (including diet drinks and ice cream), mints, cough syrups, and sugar-free chewing gum. (Last part taken from Wikipedia for information purposes).
Each packet contains 10 pieces of sugar free chewing gum. They are in the little white pellet format rather than the long strips such as Wrigleys do.
2 flavours are available, spearmint and peppermint. As yet I have only had the spearmint but I will be looking out for peppermint.
The little white pellets have a crunchy white coating. One small pellet is quite enough for chewing.
Taste pretty sweet but lovely and spearminty, and the flavour is long lasting and I think heavily rivals Wrigleys, they have come up with a really decent gum here and one I will certainly be purchasing more from now on.
The sweetness does fade but I think this is a good thing and you are left with the mint, I am a huge fan of spearmint anyway, but now I may seek the peppermint ones as I enjoy the spearmints so much.
In summary, pick these up as a change from Wrigleys, they are lovely!!
Summary: 10 out of 10, they are wonderful!

Shirt made with Burda pattern 8471, a really easy pattern to work with. I had to make it longer because my husband's so tall, but it worked out really good. I must say that I think he looks great in it :)
Feb 22, 2009, 08.54 AMby snash
I have been using this pattern for a couple of years now and still haven't found another with a better fit. I always use this as a base pattern, then add darts for a slimming fit, change the collar, pockets, & add french cuffs to switch it out for different looks. This is the best pattern I've found so far. If anyone has any other good pattern recommendations, I would love to hear them… Thanks!

in response to Mick_-Sheldon:
I believe you missed something , who says when the government is going the right way ? You ? Me ? You were asked to provide an example , and you gave a "belief" of how you see it working .
But an example of it working would be better . I can give many examples of your "belief" being attemted but not working .
The pro government apologists for the collective often use the one policy approach because government often is limited to the one policy approach , which is why it is often ineffective in many matters and also constantly walking over people who do not fit into its mold.
You seem to desire equality at the cost of liberty.
the point is, conflating government with "markets"...stating one is good, the other "bad"...conflating "free markets" with government...
You are certainly aware that we have a political "party" who
proposes anti-government dogma-RUNS against government-they do so by rationalizing "free markets", which are NOT...deregulation simply turns decisions over to those who have destroyed the U.S. $6.5 trillion per year economy for 4 years already...government=taxpayers pick up the tab.
This is in NO way a doctrinaire statement, nor can it be debated-it's FACT:
"Bashing of government (oversight) can be seen in Karen Horn's article for Standpoint, one of many examples of the rear guard action being mounted against criticisms of the ideology of the market state. Horn announces that the "anti-capitalists are coming out of the closet", eliding, as ever, democracy and markets. Underlying her critique is the neat use of dichotomies, bad government, good markets. Markets have pricing. Governments don't:
This circular bashing of the state is typical of the quasi logic of pro-market apologists. The market is defined as inherently better because it prices supply and demand, whereas the state is defined as inherently inefficient because it doesn't.
But the choice is between good government and bad government. In the final analysis, as we are graphically seeing, governments have to set the rules. Traders rely on the basic legal structures that underpin transactions. IF MARKETS ARE ALLOWED TO SET THEIR OWN RULES, MARKETS COLLAPSE; WHO HAS TO PICK UP THE PIECES? GOVERNMENTS."
(which means, just as today, taxpayers)

Keeping up with new startups is almost impossible. While we sleep tonight, there are thousands of caffeine-infused individuals hammering away on keyboards creating the next great thing. With a polished slide deck, a few thousand loyal alpha users, and a code repository secret sauce, anyone can take his or her idea from stealth mode to global success overnight. And while some of the companies mentioned in this article will go on to success, others will fall by the wayside, burning through cash and users similar to a summer camp bonfire. The interesting threads to follow through these few successes and myriad failures are the trends that add value to the end user.

Mobile and Cloud computing is changing the way IT thinks about security, according to IBM senior security executive Jack Danahy.
Danahy recently spoke with V3 about the emerging trends and challenges facing enterprises, including the paradigm shift facing companies thanks to advanced mobile and cloud computing.
"Our job has gone from being the people responsible for saying 'no', to moving to a place of seeing where we can go," Danahy said.
As the consumerisation of IT continues to grow and change the landscape of how enterprise does business, Danahy says the way companies think about security also needs to change.
Danahy said IT chiefs needs to start thinking about security challenges that can arise from the onset and that enterprise needs to start by thinking that what can go wrong and then figure out what to do to prevent it.
"The right people can break into anything," Danahy added.
Danahy uses the example of a company first deciding what sort of information is truly necessary on a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) smartphone as the sort of forward thinking necessary for the evolving security world.
Mobile device management (MDM) help, he said, but that true security needs to be done with forward thinking and education.
"Security is boring for people who don't do it for a living. So we need to make it interesting," said Danahy.
A recent Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC) report tends to lends credence to Danahy's point.
The PWC study showed that 82 percent of data breaches stem from employee error. PwC study shows that most hackers are gaining illicit access because of a lack of formal mobile security measures or employee awareness programmes.
IBM's Danahy also pointed out that the new tools available to enterprise are making firms more aware of security. Danahy specifically points to the cloud as a key area of growing concern for businesses.
Danhy says that as data moves outside of a company's control it starts to worry more about security.
"As human beings we are control freaks," he mused. "If it is inside their walls, people think its safe."
The nature of trusting another company to handle your data has given some firms pause recently. A recent Mimecast study, done in conjunction with the V3 Security Summit, found that 45 percent of surveyed companies thought security is the biggest concern to adopting any cloud computing services.

Portland, OR (Sports Network) - The Portland Timbers announced that the club has acquired U.S. youth international Mobi Fehr through a weighted lottery held at MLS headquarters on Tuesday.
Portland was one of three clubs in the running to land the highly-touted defender/midfielder, beating out Seattle Sounders FC and the San Jose Earthquakes for the player's rights.
"Mobi is a young, versatile player with a great deal of ability," said Gavin Wilkinson, Timbers general manager. "After having the opportunity to see him in training with the club this past season, we know him to be a quality player and look forward to seeing his continued development."
Fehr, 18, has been a member of the U.S. U-17, U-18 and U-20 national team player pools. He joined Swiss club FC Basel in 2012 and also spent three weeks training with the Timbers late last season.

Hall makes title charge at Fran Am Finals
Friday morning found Charles Hall (GRB) 57 points behind front-runner Andrew Ranger (CAN); a nearly insurmountable lead with only three Championship races remaining given Ranger's consistent nature. After winning Round 12 of the 2003 FRAN AM 2000 North American Pro Championship Series at Arizona Motorsports Park, Hall is only 28 points out with two races to go.
Hall, driving for GTI Motorsports, benefited when Ranger was forced to retire after a spin on lap 16. Ranger's 16th place finish earned him only 5 points; leaving him with 298 points after 12 Rounds. Hall's victory and pole position gave him 34 points on the day and a total of 270.
Team FirstAir's Robert Bell (GRB) had his Title hopes extinguished as first turn contact forced him from the race and out of contention for the Championship Title. Along with Bell, Quantum's Sean McIntosh (CAN), Condor's Dominic Cicero (USA) and Series newcomer Julian Flamarique (ARG) were all forced from the race in the incident that resulted in 5 laps of full-course yellow.
Hall managed to lead the entire race despite constant pressure from Bell's FirstAir teammate Dan McMullen (CAN). McMullen managed the fast lap of the race on lap 15 with a 1:31.828 (91.828 mph) on the 2.25 mile, 16 turn road course on the west side of Phoenix. In the end, Hall crossed the finish line 0.532 sec ahead of McMullen.
AIM Autosport's Mark Wilkins (CAN) claimed the final podium position.
Round 13 will be held today and the season finale will be run Sunday at Arizona Motorsports Park.

It's the old playground rule: When you've been beaten up over and over again, at some point you need to hit back. That's what Mayor Kasim Reed did last week when, during the Atlanta City Council's marathon meeting to approve airport vendor contracts, he took the microphone to blast Common Cause Georgia.
"Common Cause does not have clean hands," the mayor said of the government watchdog group.
If you aren't already convinced that his administration rigged the bidding process to steer contracts to cronies — and no direct evidence has surfaced at this writing that it did — then Reed's frustration is understandable. For weeks, Common Cause had criticized the transparency of the vendor selection process, calling for the release of the names of members of the committee tasked with evaluating the bids and selecting the winners. Earlier this past summer, the group challenged the city to enact "pay-to-play" legislation to curtail campaign contributions to city officials by would-be contractors — the unavoidable implication being that such donations are influencing the awarding of contracts.
"I've watched my name get dragged through the mud," Reed protested to the Council, and it was clear from the nodding that several of them felt similarly besmirched.
Unfortunately, the answer is not to try to discredit a long-standing and well-regarded watchdog organization. Reed had prepared a set of posterboards to show, in his best litigator style, that Common Cause was hypocritical because some of its board members who'd previously run for office had accepted campaign contributions higher than the limit the group proposed for Atlanta. Thankfully, he didn't end up delivering his full presentation.
Common Cause was correct in pointing out that aspects of the airport bidding aroused suspicion, specifically the city's decision to restart the entire process in September after almost half the vendors bungled their applications. Later, when the freshly released list of winning vendors was revealed to include a number of Reed associates and campaign donors, more questions arose.
Let's face it, there will always be questions when tens of millions of dollars are at stake — especially at an airport that has long proven irresistible to corrupt businessmen and the politically well-connected. Asking those questions is Common Cause's job.
But the mayor is also correct in pointing out that campaign contributions of the kind he and Council members received are both legal and commonplace across the street at the Gold Dome. That doesn't make the practice more palatable, but it does argue for a holistic, statewide approach. And we agree that the city had good reason to withhold the names of the evaluators to prevent more unseemly arm-twisting.
If Reed had held a press conference weeks ago to address concerns and to clarify the city's rationale in throwing out the bids and withholding names of evaluators, it might have helped defuse what became a tense situation. The mayor instead waited until the final vote to attack his critics so as not to appear weak. The problem is he looked defensive and thin-skinned, which is arguably worse.
In the end, the Council approved the contracts overwhelmingly, with some usually skeptical members and an outside auditor touting the integrity of the process. The real show of strength would've been to weather the innuendo, accept the victory, and move on.

Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, Naches, Wash., Oct. 7, 2007–The commercial pilot and nine passengers died when the Caravan crashed in the mountains near Naches, at 7:59 p.m. No flight plan was filed for the flight from Star, Idaho, to Shelton, Wash., and the pilot did not obtain a weather briefing. There was an airmet for icing, low-level turbulence and mountain obscuration.
The sagging demand for turboprop airplanes cost 450 Bombardier workers their jobs last month, as the Canadian company handed out layoff notices to 310 production employees and 140 support personnel at its de Havilland plant in Toronto. The cuts affected some 9 percent of de Havilland's 5,000-strong workforce.
Cessna 208B Caravan, Cross City, Fla., Sept. 5, 2007–The Paragon Air Express Caravan lost power and made a forced landing in trees. While the Caravan was at cruise at 11,000 feet, the engine suddenly failed and the engine gauges went to zero. The commercial pilot declared an emergency; ATC told him that Cross City, 29 miles away, was the closest airport.
A second incident involving the collapse of a right main landing gear shortly after touchdown on a Bombardier Q400 operated by SAS has prompted an OEM recommendation.
SAS said last month that Bombardier would owe it at least SKr500 million ($77 million) in compensation for the grounding of its Q400 turboprop fleet. Two separate incidents of collapsed landing gear on SAS Q400s prompted Bombardier and Transport Canada on September 12 to call for the grounding of some 85 airplanes worldwide.
The NTSB last month made an "urgent" recommendation to the FAA in response to the December 2005 fatal runway overrun at Chicago Midway Airport, calling for the agency to require operators to conduct arrival landing-distance assessments before every landing based on existing performance data and actual conditions, and to incorporate a safety margin of at least 15 percent.
SAS has again grounded all 27 of its Bombardier Q400s after the right main landing gear on one of its airplanes failed to fully extend upon landing in Copenhagen on Saturday. Flight SK2867 from Bergen, Norway, carried 40 passengers and four crewmembers, none of whom suffered injuries from the incident.
UK-based Britten-Norman, which is set to resume manufacturing its piston-powered Trislander regional/utility airplane, production of which was suspended in 1980, also disclosed that it is offering new customers of its Islander piston twins the option of choosing diesel engines. The airframer is evaluating the new 300-hp SR305 diesel under development by France's SMA and believes the powerplant could be available by year-end.
In the aftermath of July's well publicized engine-out ditching of a Pilatus PC-12 in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Russia, industry observers are asking how this and other recent accidents have affected the statistical reliability of single-engine turboprops and if sales of these aircraft are suffering.
The empty hangars at Oberpfaffenhofen airfield outside Munich reflect a stark impression of the decline Germany's aerospace industry has experienced over the past decade. But if one were to look hard enough, signs of renewal have begun to emerge at this extensive industrial site, where Dornier GmbH built scores of aircraft for more than 60 years.

Reading Rock Festival?
Reading Festival
Member Name: Napally
Reading Festival
Date: 03/09/09
Advantages: Awesome fun, easy to get to, worth the money if you like a lot of bands playing
Disadvantages: Becoming very expensive, quality of bands going down, badly managed campsite
Every year, during the August Bank Holiday, thousands of like-minded people descend on the town of Reading for one reason only; Reading Festival. Attracting around eighty thousand fans each year, this festival is famous and continues to attract many huge acts year after year. The festival, as we know it now, has been around since the 1970s (excluding a few years during which it hit a slump and people stopped attending and the dissolution of sponsorship from Carling).
Cost: This is probably the downer of the whole festival scenario. Unfortunately tickets don't come cheap anymore, especially when the festival is as popular as Reading, but if we break it down then we can begin to see that maybe it isn't as overpriced as it initially looks. With your weekend ticket, you get access to the camp site and a wristband that lets you see all the bands that are playing from Friday afternoon to Sunday night; if the average price of a gig is £20 and you see 5 bands a day, it would ordinarily cost you £300 (if we keep it at 5 bands a day). However, for around the £180 mark, you are able to camp from Thursday to the Monday morning and get access to unlimited music. Quite a bargain if we look at it that way!
Purchasing Tickets: Because of the massive level of hype surrounding the festival, tickets can be sold out within a matter of hours following on from the General Release. If you are quick then tickets are sold for the following years festival immediately after the current festival ends and you will also get it at the current price (possibly positive if the ticket prices inflate). However, the downside to this is that you may be paying to see bands that you detest and things can change over the course of the year. So, onto the General Release tickets. These are usually sold in March/April, and for the few years I've attended, they have gone on sale at 7.30pm on a weekday evening. In the lead-up to buying the tickets, Radio 1 do announcements so you will know when to buy tickets. There are various ways to buy your tickets:
· Online retails- I've got my tickets from online ticket retails 3 times before and I have never had a problem with them. However, the major websites will inevitably crash as the bandwidth is swamped and scams are also commonplace so I must stress to go for a big retailer such as Seetickets or Ticket Master. If you purchase a ticket via Ebay then there is the possibility that it could be a scam, and the sellers tend to grossly over-inflate the ticket prices as the hype grows.
· Over the phone- I've never purchased a ticket through this method so can't talk about it in too much detail. However, the phone lines are generally swamped on release night.
· Retailers- Selected HMV stores in the UK do sell tickets but I've found that this only seems to happen in the large UK cities. However, if you get there early enough (usually on the morning after the release) then it is possible to buy a ticket without the stress of crashing web pages. Smaller retailers do occasionally sell tickets as well, as I found out one year to my surprise. Just shop around!
Your ticket won't be delivered until the August, even if you purchase it immediately so don't worry when it doesn't instantly arrive!
Getting to Reading: Your location in the country determines how you are able to get to the festival. The most convenient option (I've personally found) is the train via London; it is quick and cheap if booked in advance. From the train station, the festival ground is only around a 10/15 minute walk which is quite reasonable. However, there is a cheap and efficient coach service with National Express that is in place specifically for festival goers, and there are on-site car parking facilities if you wish to drive yourself. Please note that you do need to buy a car parking pass in advance and these often sell out quite quickly.
Festival Facilities: On the festival site, there are numerous facilities in place to make your experience as enjoyable as possible (oh ho!), including the infamous toilets. There are a LOT of toilets on both the camp site and in the arena so you often won't be far away from them. However, they are undeniably smelly, dirty so go in wearing strong perfume on your wrist (my tip!) to mask some of the smell. And take your own toilet roll in with you- there is no guarantee that there'll be any in there. There are also showering facilities in the camping site just in case you want to attempt to cleanse yourself.
In the arena, there are four stages you can go to in order to see the various acts that are playing throughout the duration of the Bank Holiday:
· Main Stage
· Radio 1 Tent
· Lock-up/Dance Arena
· Alternative Arena (comedy, spoken word etc)
All of these tents are in easy walking distance of each other so you can always keep check on who you want to see, and how long you'll have to wait before dashing off to another stage.
There is also a signing tent in which you can meet various bands, get photos with them and get them to sign various parts of your body if you wish ;) This is a free service but queues are expected and there is no guarantee you'll get to meet your favourite act so get there early!
Food is important at a festival and you are definitely not in short supply of eating facilities at Reading. For a burger, you can be expected to pay around the £3.00 mark; food is often overpriced and isn't delicious but there are a few rare treats amongst the rubbish (such as a fresh milkshake stall- love it!). However, the more exotic or fresh the food, the more you'll probably have to pay. There is always the option of taking some food with you so you spend less at the festival but if you're travelling light, there are foods of every type available to buy.
Finally, there is now a fairground on the campsite for festival goers. This is expensive but if you're looking for some more thrills to add to your festival then this is a neat little addition.
Opinion: I used to love Reading Festival but unfortunately it seems to have already have hit a high note, and now the deterioration has started. The ticket prices are always increasing, despite having pretty much the same facilities available each year, and I feel that the music just isn't cutting it anymore. The last time I went (2008), the headliners were Rage Against The Machine, The Killers and Metallica, and unfortunately this year it has hit a bum note. The music seems to have been altered to suit the mainstream "pop rock" crowd (not in every instance, I might add, but often) and as someone who is into hard-rock and more obscure bands, I feel disappointed at the sudden drop in standard.
The vibe of the campsite, and the way the security is managed, is also something that needs to be changed. It seems more and more common to set fire to tents, and generally just ruin the laid back feeling that a festival should create, and the security they hire take a hard-hitting stance to even small issues of injuries etc.
Until certain factors change, I won't go back to Reading. It's disappointing but I refuse to spend around £300 for a weekend of being pushed around by bullies in uniforms and watching bands that are easy enough to see on tour in many venues. Bring back that special vibe that made me love Reading and you'll regain a die-hard festival goer but until then, bon voyage Reading Festival.
Summary: Bring back the Reading experience of previous years!

Action-Observation for Stroke Patients
New research shows that merely observing others perform physical tasks can activate the damaged regions of stroke patients' brains. Through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), researchers at the University of Southern California found that the activity was strongest when stroke patients viewed activities they had the most difficulty performing. The activation suggests that the brain is working to compensate for damage caused by stroke, which holds promise for stroke rehabilitation and the development of new therapeutic techniques.
The goal of therapy is to activate motor areas of the affected hemisphere. Watching others carry out tasks is like "priming the pump," said Carolee Winstein, director of the Motor Behavior and Neurorehabilitation Laboratory at USC. "You're getting these circuits engaged through the action-observation before they [patients] even attempt to move."
The virtual exercise could prepare the brain for actual exercise. "If we can help drive plasticity in these brain regions, we may be able to help individuals with stroke recover more of the ability to move their arm and hand," said Kathleen Garrison, who was part of the research team at USC. One of the researchers suggested that as homework, patients could watch videos of what they will do in therapy.
The simple visual exercise of action-observation has exciting implications for the future of stroke rehabilitation. For more information, read the full article here on Medical News Today.
Optimal Staffing Strategies
Long-Term Living Magazine recently highlighted the importance of using proven staffing practices for better business results and employee satisfaction. During a Long-Term Living webinar in March, experts offered the following strategies for optimal staffing:
- Be consistent and fair when creating schedules. Adjust appropriately for high-acuity cases. High-acuity cases should not be left to a few of the same nurses.
- Invite staff to give feedback about scheduling, and listen thoughtfully.
- Avoid wasteful overtime. "Set a policy of no overtime built into the schedule without administrative approval," said Mark Woodka, CEO of OnShift, a provider of nurse scheduling software and management systems. "If you're properly staffed, you shouldn't have overtime."
- Stay on top of part-timers' hours. Organizations that go over the hour limits for part-time employees will incur sizeable fines.
A well-run department requires a plan and constant attention to the daily operation of the team. As noted in RehabCare's white paper, "Optimizing the Performance of a Hospital Outpatient Rehabilitation Department," when it comes to staffing, program directors should ask themselves: Do we have the appropriate number and skill mix of therapists? Do we have the right combination of therapists, assistants and techs? Have I defined standards of productivity for employees? Answering these questions can help assess where your facility could make staffing improvements.

Overcoming Aphasia
A recent study in Canada found that an alarming number of people are not aware of one of stroke's most common and challenging consequences: aphasia, a communication disorder affecting speech, reading, writing and comprehension. June is National Aphasia Awareness Month, a time to shed light on this debilitating but little-understood disorder.
About one-third of stroke victims suffer some degree of aphasia, which occurs when there is damage to the left side of the brain, its communications hub. The Canadian researchers found that only two percent of those surveyed in public places in a major city could correctly identify what aphasia is, and, the researchers conjecture, this lack of understanding could be detrimental to the recovery of stroke patients who suffer with this condition. (1)
Without social and familial support stroke patients suffering with aphasia often isolate themselves which fuels the fire of depression, according to Sonia Beltran, Rehabilitation Program Director at Kindred Transitional Care and Rehabilitation – Eagle Creek, located in Indianapolis, Indiana.
A 2012 British study looked at the use of speech and language therapy for aphasia following stroke and pulled data from various trials that had been done comparing speech and language therapy (SLT) with: no SLT; social support or stimulation or other SLT interventions that varied in duration, intensity, frequency, intervention methodology or theoretical approach. This study, which pulled data from a wealth of published, unpublished and ongoing research, concluded that SLT can be effective in patients with aphasia following stroke in terms of improved functional communication, receptive and expressive language, but no single type of SLT appeared superior to others. (2)
One of the most important components to stroke recovery is getting to patients early, Ms. Beltran said.
"If we can catch the patients in the first three to six months post-stroke, we really try to maximize on that period of spontaneous recovery to get the patients as close to their prior level of function as possible," she said.
However, a recent study from the University Geriatrics Institute of Montreal showed that while the post-recovery window is important, language therapy can have a positive impact on patients with long-term aphasia even years after a trauma or stroke.
At Eagle Creek and at other similar Kindred skilled nursing facilities, speech therapy is an important component of the Stroke Recovery Program. The program is designed to be an interdisciplinary approach to stroke rehabilitation that includes physical, occupational and speech therapy. Specifically, this entails use of specialized, on-site equipment and technology; patient and family education; healthy lifestyle programs; a progressive exercise regimen tailored to fit each patient's needs and abilities; individualized plans of care to meet patients' specific needs and on-site case management.
"Our challenge is to re-build the neural connections for the affected areas," Ms. Beltran said. "We have patients with expressive, or spoken language, deficits and others with receptive, or comprehension, deficits which impede their ability to communicate their wants and needs to their caregivers."
This can lead to a great deal of frustration.
Speech therapists do many exercises with patients, including counting; going through the days of the week and the months of the year; naming tasks; and showing pictures and asking patients to name the item and its function. The therapy is undertaken five to six days a week for 40 minute sessions.
"We're most concerned with carryover," said Ms. Beltran. "How is this going to make the patient more functional? Will they be able to communicate that they are in pain or tired?"
Finally, family support is also key to good recovery.
"In my experience, the patients that do the best are those who have excellent family support," said Ms. Beltran.

Update on G-Code Requirements
The Middle Class Tax Relief and Jobs Creation Act of 2012 contained several provisions specifically focusing on outpatient rehabilitative therapies, including the Medical Manual Review trigger at $3,700 and the establishment of new "G Codes."
The law specifically directed the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to implement a "claims-based data collection strategy that is designed to assist in reforming the Medicare payment system for outpatient therapy services" and to begin testing such a model in early 2013. The goal of the data collection is to "better understand patient condition and outcomes." This led to the development of 42 new non-payable functional of G-codes for physical and occupational therapy and speech pathology services also referred to as functional limitation reporting.
Beginning on July 1, 2013, providers will be required to include G-codes and severity/complexity modifiers to indicate the patient's functional status at:
- The outset of the therapy episode of care,
- Specified points during treatment (progress reports to be furnished on or before every 10th treatment day), and
- Time of discharge.
Applicable claims without the G-codes will be rejected.
In conjunction with using the appropriate G-code, claims require one of seven modifiers that identify the range of a patient's functional impairment. For example, modifier "CM" would be applied to identify that the patient is "at least 80 percent but less than 100 percent impaired, limited or restricted."
This coding change aligns with RehabCare's long-term practice of tracking and reporting the functional outcomes of our patients.
We worked closely with our technology partners to ensure that our hand-held systems were fully tested and prepared for the July 1 implementation date, and we are confident in RehabCare's ability to appropriately meet the new requirements for therapy patients across the care continuum.
Dangers of Prolonged Sitting
Are you sitting down for this? It turns out that sitting may be shortening your life.
Whether you sit down to work, relax or as a result of your physical health or status, many recent research studies suggest that the ill effects of being sedentary, specifically of prolonged sitting, cannot be offset by blocks of physical activity or exercise. Too much sitting is distinct from too little exercise. Being healthy is not just about increasing physical activity, but also about decreasing inactivity.
So what's so bad about sitting? In addition to being shown to shorten lives by approximately two years and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, prolonged sitting is associated with negative consequences related to the body's blood sugar, the "healthy" cholesterol (HDL), metabolism, mental health, and muscle weakness. Specifically, one study found that sitting for more than three hours per day and watching TV for more than two hours per day may contribute to the development of chronic diseases.2 Another study found that cancer was associated with those employed in sedentary jobs, and this association was independent of recreational physical activity and was observed even among the most recreationally active participants. 3
Fortunately, no matter the reason for a sedentary lifestyle, the ills of extended sitting can be counteracted by adding in more movement throughout the day. Always stand when you can. If you find yourself spending too much leisure time sitting, explore ways to get off the couch while watching television. If you work at a computer or a seated job, take opportunities to stand. Pace or stand while on a call, and walk to a colleague's office on occasion instead of emailing or calling. Use your lunch time for physical activity. For those recovering from illness or injury, ensure that you follow your health care provider's recommendations and that you are provided with activities to assist you with safely reducing sedentary time.
The dangers associated with prolonged sitting continue into late adulthood, and we must keep performing small-impact movements to ward off the hazards of remaining seated. It is important to learn age-appropriate ways to stay active throughout the day. We know it can be a challenge to keep up the same level of activity as we get older, which is one reason RehabCare developed the Smart Moves wellness program to empower older adults to incorporate as much physical movement as possible into their daily lives.

SPTA Student Completes Joint Mobility Educational Presentations at Kindred Hospital – Indianapolis
Students who complete clinical internships with RehabCare are encouraged to conduct research or complete an educational training in-service to the rest of the team at the end of their rotation. Completing research and giving presentations enhances the internship experience, and sharing the latest clinical information benefits seasoned therapists.
Kristina Pekovic, SPTA, recently presented her in-service on joint mobilization to her group at Kindred Hospital – Indianapolis. Her presentation was a two hour in-service spread out over the course of two lunch breaks. On the first day, Kristina gave a classroom-type presentation. The second day was more hands on and included demonstrations, allowing Kristina and the therapists to put into practice what they had learned. Kristina was very hard working and met the challenges head on, impressing her colleagues at every turn. Kristina, pictured at the center of the photo, reflected on her clinical:
"I was very blessed at my clinical experience at Kindred Hospital – Indianapolis. My instructor embraced the student-teacher relationship that fostered my learning and encouraged me toward my goals. Everyone on the RehabCare team was very helpful by taking the time to instruct and assist me as a student. They frequently advocated for patients as if they were a member of the patient's family. Furthermore, the rehab aides created an enjoyable environment by frequently making the patients smile and feel valued. I had an excellent learning experience and would recommend this facility to other students who would like to gain knowledge in geriatrics and long-term care."
Mentoring a student was fulfilling for Jeff Paris, PTA at Kindred Hospital – Indianapolis. "Having a student was challenging but rewarding," said Paris. "The opportunity to spend time with a student allowed me to pass on my years of experience to help her with the start of her journey into health care and PT specifically."
After working with Kristina, Jeff felt encouraged to host a student again. "As my first time having a student here, I gained some valuable experience and feel prepared to handle student clinicals in the future," said Paris. "Overall, this was a great experience."
Barbara Wallace is RehabCare's Director of Student Programs. For more updates on Student Programs and for information about completing a clinical internship with RehabCare, visit The Campus Blog and www.rehabcare.com.
May is Better Hearing and Speech month, a time set aside to honor our speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and focus on their specialties and achievements. Evaluation and treatment of swallowing problems are a large part of an SLP's job. But in a recent article published in Advance for Long-Term Care Management, Mary Barker, senior clinical supervisor for Speech Therapy Group of Beverly, Mass., and an SLP at Kindred Nursing and Rehabilitation – DenMar, warns SLPs are not the only staff members who should be on the lookout for swallowing issues in residents.
Barker stressed that all employees must be watchful for swallowing problems. Nurses, CNAs, dining room staff, and volunteers also play a critical role in making sure that residents are safely getting the nutrition they need. Unidentified swallowing problems can lead to choking, weight loss, malnutrition, or even aspiration pneumonia – a potentially life-threatening condition. This month, we'd like to remind all staff members to be vigilant about safety issues related to swallowing.
Signs of swallowing problems include:
- Chewing for a long time
- Drooling
- Food pockets in the cheeks or around the gums
- Spitting out food (or food falling out of the mouth)
- Food or liquid getting stuck in the mouth

- Coughing (or excessive throat clearing) during or right after meals
- Reports of food sticking in the throat or chest
- Swallowing multiple times to get food to go down
- Weight loss
- Dehydration
- Recurring pneumonia or chest congestion after eating
In addition to watching for swallowing problems, it is important for staff to recognize personal preferences or reactions to food and accommodate them. When evaluating swallowing, the visual and olfactory senses should not be overlooked, said Barker. "Some people will not eat foods that touch other foods," she said. "Some people are nauseated by seeing foods mixed together on their plate." Too much food on the plate or foods with strong smells (i.e., broccoli or liver) may also be unappetizing for residents.
Be alert to these potential swallowing issues, and report signs of swallowing problems. We can best ensure our patients' safety by remembering to be attentive to issues that might fall outside our own area of expertise.

Ken Slavin is a popular and seasoned jazz crooner, equally at home in intimate jazz clubs, piano bars, concert halls and country clubs. He is one of the most respected entertainers in Texas with a vast repertoire of classic jazz, pop and Spanish-language standards. He has a gift for touching the hearts and souls of listeners of all ages.
"I'll Take Romance" is his first new CD in more than six years, featuring world-class jazz musicians, symphonic arrangements and other polished touches. It is the kind of album you will want to listen to with a special someone -- and share with friends and family.
Recently voted âBest Vocalist of 2007â by readers of The San Antonio Current, Slavin started relatively late in the music business, not stepping on the stage to pursue his lifelong dream until shortly before his 29th birthday.
Now in his mid-40s (heâll turn 46 on the night of the release), Slavin is more determined than ever to make his mark beyond San Antonio on the jazz and cabaret circuits in the United States and abroad. He is actively seeking gigs in New York, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, on cruise ships and overseas resorts, and at noted American and European jazz festivals.
"When it comes to crooning in the classic jazz/pop style, Ken Slavin has no peers." -- JIM BEAL, SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS.

High Techs Southern Shift
High Techs Southern Shift
Eric Lundquist
Posted 2005-02-28
California vendors head south as PC market transitions.
Is Southern California the new Northern California? I had a lot of time last week to think about the shift of Californias high-tech industry southward. During a week of rain, as mudslides moved the ground from Los Angeles South, I had a chance to talk to a number of companies about the tech shift South.
The PC industry has moved south for sure. Hewlett-Packard (which always seems to have the adjective "troubled" in front of it in news stories lately) handed off its PC business to Vyomesh Joshi, who lives and maintains an office in San Diego. Joshi won all the accolades for the successful printer businesswhich probably qualifies as the most profitable tech company in Californiaand now has all the problems associated with competing against Dell.
In addition to HP, there are three other big PC vendors in Southern California. Toshiba last week was reported in Tokyo to have promoted the head of its PC division, Atsutoshi Nishida, to be its next president. That promotion is good news for the Irvine, Calif., notebook division. Gateway acquired eMachines last year, and computer veteran Wayne Inouye is now the president and CEO of Gateway, working to get the company refocused on PCs and on a profitable track. The other company Id put in the PC category is Linspire, in San Diego. Linspire is the company that is furthest along in building out a Linux ecosystem for PCs, from operating systems to applications to support. The companys CEO, Michael Robertson, also does a great job at being vocal about Linuxs advantages over Windows. With the PC business in transition and turmoil as another round of corporate laptop replacement is starting, this is a good time for the PC vendors to reassert themselves. So Southern California is the current stop for companies trying to challenge Dell and Microsoft. How does that make the area a tech up-and-comer? Northern California has Google, eBay and more biotech companies than you can count. And the Northern California region has always had a tight tie-in among established companies, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs, which the tech companies to the south seemed to lack.
Of course, Southern California has always had the glamor of Hollywood and the style consciousness of Orange County, both of which bypassed anything north of San Jose. (Southern California also usually has real nice weather, but I could attest to the contrary last week.)
Click to read the article:
Dell Decides Against Building AMD-Based Computers
Id also argue that Southern California vendors are ahead of the curve in the new technologies of digital communications and Web-based applications and the ability to market their products. Broadcom, in Irvine, and QualComm, in San Diego, are two key telecom drivers. Quest Software is big in trying to create a large integrated development tools business; Major League Baseball bought Tickets.com (in Costa Mesa); and WebSideStory, in San Diego, is a leading company in Web analytics. A company that is essentially a database and marketing operation, ditech.com, is changing how mortgages are marketed and financed throughout the country. And then there are the television shows. "We have The OC," said Quest Softwares communications manager, Eileen Algaze, when I asked her why tech is on the rebound in Southern California. "The OC" and the "Laguna Beach" show on MTV have created a buzz about Southern California that the folks in the Northern part of the state cant hope to achieve, she said.
Check out eWEEK.coms for the latest news, reviews and analysis about productivity and business solutions. Algaze also noted the lessening of reliance on the big military and aerospace companies and an increase in startups as a reason why "tech is on the upswing." She felt the best high-tech companies in the region meld the "California outdoor feeling with a seriousness about business" that is new and appealing to employees. And then there is the weather, which is often very nice but last week was not. I will say that the continuous downpour created a seriousness about driving that was welcome to see in an area where talking on the phone while whipping along at about 80 mph always seems like part of the lifestyle.

NFL Draft 2013: Tyrann Mathieu no-showed with Texans, Seahawks per report

04:16 PM ET 04.26 | Tyrann Mathieu has had a hard time generating anything resembling positive publicity in the weeks and days leading up to the 2013 NFL Draft. Even with the draft underway, he can't seem to stay out of headlines for dubious reasons. On Friday, reports surfaced that Mathieu was a no-show for scheduled meetings with the Houston Texans and Seattle Seahawks last week.

I predict someone will draft him, he'll show flashes of brilliance and then he'll quickly burn through his chances and be out of football. He makes **** decisions and hasn't shown that he knows how to do things any other way. Why would anyone go through all the trouble he's going to be for a guy who will probably only be a nickel package player?
Someone will draft this piece of crap because very few professional owners have high standards or morals anymore when it comes to players!
Texans don't mess with idiots like this...
Honey Badger to the Cowboys would be perfect! Jerrah already has "babysitters" in place for Dez 24/7. Michael Irvin and Deion Sanders are available as advisers to counsel him on the local hot spots. Honey Badger can be part of Dez posse and Dez will keep him on the "straight and narrow". Isn't that what joints are? Straight and narrow???
HE don't give a ****
He will when his agent explains how much $$$ he left on the table by being an a**hole! Then again, maybe not. Weed does change one's perspective.

Updated: Jun 5, 2013 2:24 PM
PETA is urging the Gallatin County Attorney Marty Lambert to bring charges against Animals of Montana for a bear mauling at the facility last year that left a 24-year-old man dead.
This morning, PETA sent a letter to Lambert, urging him to file negligent manslaughter and criminal endangerment charges against the owner of the wildlife casting agency north of Bozeman.
"By allowing employees to have direct contact with powerful and dangerous grizzlies, it was only a matter of time before someone was killed," says PETA Foundation Director of Captive Law Enforcement Delcianna Winders. "We believe that a crime was committed, that a life could have been saved, and that Hyde should be prosecuted for manslaughter."
Lambert responded to a request for comment on this matter in an email to KBZK, saying there was "no need" for him to make a statement about the request from PETA.
"There is no request for prosecution of the exhibitor from the sheriff or any other state law enforcement agency. Until such a request is made, I have nothing to act upon," Lambert said in his email.
On Nov. 5, 2012, Benjamin Cloutier, 24, of Bozeman and formerly of Yorkhaven, Pennsylvania, was mauled and killed by the captive-bred brown bear at the Animals of Montana facility. Cloutier was reportedly cleaning the bear's enclosure when the attack occurred.
Back in November, a man in charge at the time Cloutier died said it was not an attack because there were no defensive wounds on the victim and no one heard any kind of noise that sounded like an attack or someone calling for help. The victim had bear spray and it was not engaged, the employee said during an earlier interview.
We are attempting to contact Lambert for comment.
The following is the letter PETA sent to Lambert:
Dear Mr. Lambert:
I am writing on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and its more than 3 million members and supporters, including thousands in Montana, to request that you file negligent homicide and criminal endangerment charges against Troy Hyde, in light of the gruesome and wholly preventable death of his employee, Benjamin Cloutier, who was mauled to death by a grizzly bear at Hyde's Animals of Montana facility on November 5, 2012.
According to the Gallatin County coroner, the young Mr. Cloutier died of bite and claw wounds that hit major arteries and caused massive blood loss. The Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently concluded its investigation into the mauling and proposed the highest possible penalty after finding that direct contact with bears, as was the general practice at Hyde's Animals of Montana, is a "recognized hazard that is likely to cause death or serious physical injury" (emphasis added). This statement echoes Montana's criminal negligence standard, which provides that a person is criminally negligent if he "consciously disregards a risk that the result will occur or that the circumstance exists or when he disregards a risk of which the person should be aware that the result will occur or that the circumstance exists."
More specifically, Montana law provides that a person commits the offense of negligent homicide if he "negligently causes the death of another human being" and commits criminal endangerment if he "knowingly engages in conduct that creates a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury to another." As detailed in the attached appendix, Hyde willfully subjected Mr. Cloutier and other employees to life-threatening conditions on a daily basis by having them handle dangerous wild animals in a "free-contact" system, wherein there are no barriers between humans and animals capable of killing them easily. Free contact is well-recognized in the industry-and by Hyde himself-as posing serious risks of death and injury. As OSHA has recognized, Mr. Cloutier's death could easily have been prevented had Hyde used a "protected-contact," rather than a "free-contact," management system. Indeed, it is precisely for this reason that protected contact is the standard practice in captive-bear husbandry. Yet Hyde willfully refused to implement the safer practice, and that refusal directly resulted in the wholly preventable death of Mr. Cloutier. For these reasons, PETA urges you to pursue the maximum criminal penalty available for Hyde's serious and willful violations of Montana criminal law. We hope to hear that you will institute negligent homicide and criminal endangerment charges against Hyde without delay.
Very truly yours,
Delcianna Winders, Esq.
Director of Captive Animal Law Enforcement
