Two people were taken to the hospital after a two-vehicle crash in the breakdown lane of Interstate 290 tonight, state police said.
Details were sketchy tonight, but the accident occurred after the driver of a 2004 Toyota sedan stopped in the breakdown lane of I-290 westbound, near Exit 18, according to Trooper Kenneth Gaetz.
He said a 1999 Dodge sedan hit the Toyota in the breakdown lane, near the Lincoln Square exit.
Police and firefighters were called to the accident at 8:17 p.m. on a report of a burning vehicle with people trapped inside. When they arrived the occupants were already out of their vehicles, according to police scanner reports.
A mother and daughter were taken to the hospital with unknown injuries, according to Trooper Gaetz. The investigating trooper was still at the hospital late tonight and no further details were immediately available.

To the editor:
Who knew that Peter Reid would choose to continue to beat that dead horse, so long after its demise? In his letter published last week he continues to whale away at several pet peeves with the about-to-be-completed library project: a) that the book store, cafe and meeting room compete with Beach businesses; b) a referendum should have been held; c) that budgets were obfuscated; and, d) most ridiculous of all, 600 critics signed a protest petition.
In reverse order, d) the petition: continually inflated by the core group of protesters, there were a total of 423 purported signers of the rather lame petition, which was addressed NOT to the Library Board but rather to the Town Council. "Richard M. Nixon" signed, as did one woman three times. Nearly half (45%) of the "signatures" were illegible, only 10 percent provided telephone numbers, and nearly one in five (80) supplied no address. So, considerably fewer than half of the alleged 423 signers could be verified as taxpayers in the library district by any reasonable means. At most they could potentially amount to less than two percent of the households in the district. Obfuscation, anyone?
The budgets: c) received "clean" audit reports annually and, at the instigation of the core group of protesters, were reviewed by two separate State agencies and the Lee County Commissioners. Not one of these agencies found any reason to criticize the budgets as adopted. As for b) holding a referendum, Mr. Reid is correct that it was not required and would have cost the taxpayers several thousand dollars and, at the time it was first proposed by his group, significant delays in the construction schedule. Both the Town and the Fire District have undertaken numbers of major projects routinely without holding a referendum. That is how representative government usually works.
Quibble, indeed, it is to object to a) the bookstore, which has existed for many years in Seagrape Plaza as a wholly volunteer effort of the Friends of the Library, or a meeting room for which there is no comparable space anywhere in the district, or for a small cafe providing snacks and beverages for Wi-Fi and other users of the Commons Area. The latter was a very popular item on the wish list for members of the focus groups consulted during the planning process.
Dispassionate comment - not so you'd notice. Although it is a good thing that individuals have finally surfaced after all these years to compete for positions on the Library Board, it would be much better for our community if they could demonstrate their longer-term interest in the mission of the library by a history of volunteer service to that institution. Incumbents Lorrie Wolf and Sallie Seabury have served admirably as volunteers on the board for several terms each and Miffie Greer has volunteered many hours there. All three deserve your support.

The State of Maine Revenue Service has notified the Town of Acton that based on sales analysis of property sold in the last year, the town�s value has dropped again.
The town�s valuation for 2013 is $540,950,000. That�s a decrease from 2012, when the valuation was $579,950,000 � and that as well was a drop from 2011, when the figure stood at $589,080,000.
Nonetheless, even though values have dropped, Acton is still the highest valued �small� town in York County.
The liquor licensing division of the state�s public safety department will hold a public hearing at the Acton Town Hall at 35 H Road on Wednesday, Oct. 17, at 10 a.m.
The focus of the hearing will be William Palladino�s appeal of the Acton Board of Selectmen�s denial of a liquor license for his restaurant, Willy�s Ale House, on July 26.
Palladino is being represented by the law firm Bourque and Clegg, of Sanford.
The Acton Ski Club is open to anyone. Members enjoy skiing and snowboarding at Shawnee Peak Ski Resort in Bridgton on Saturdays throughout the winter.
There are benefits to joining the club. You can ski or snowboard for seven Saturdays and receive a bonus ticket to ski or ride when you wish. Club members save anywhere between one-third to half-off regular ticket prices.
Members can ski or ride from 12:30 to 10 p.m. on these days. You must provide your own transportation, so your time on the mountain is flexible. You are allowed to get a voucher for an all-day lift ticket once per season if you cannot attend one of the ski dates scheduled.
The club can cancel any scheduled ski dates due to inclement weather. In these cases, an alternative Saturday will be scheduled.
If you have any questions or would like to join, please contact Gail Boisvert at email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com or 1-207-432-0955.
The Acton Congregational Church will hold a special meeting immediately after its Sunday-morning worship on Oct. 14. The Church Council will recommend hiring Melissa Marquis as Director of Christian Nurture for 10 hours a week at a salary of $10,000 a year.
Marquis� duties would include pastoral care, youth group, assisting the pastor twice a month as liturgist, adult Bible study, hospice, and military resource support contact. If you are a member, you are urged to attend on Sunday and vote.
Brad Bohon, of York County Community Action Corporation, will be the guest speaker at tonight�s selectmen meeting at the Acton Town Hall. He will talk about what changes YCCAC has made this past year.
Also on the selectmen�s agenda is a public hearing to make changes in the General Assistance Ordinance housing allowance.
Georgia Flanagan passed away on Sept. 25. Georgia was the well known and much loved owner of the Acton Trading Post for years. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her.
Property valuations drop again
The State of Maine Revenue Service has notified the Town of Acton that based on sales analysis of property sold in the last year, the town�s value has dropped again.

A Very Atlassian Journey Through SOX Compliance
Rich Woodson
Sr. Program Manager, Atlassian
In 2014, Atlassian's Finance team was suffering from stale finance documentation, disjointed remediation efforts, and an overall lack of accountability. That's when Rich Woodson joined as a compliance manager and began to create a SOX compliance program. The first iteration used Microsoft Office and resulted in out of date information, which lead to control failures. Plus, it didn't reflect how Atlassian had evolved. They needed to find a better tool that would improve accountability and reflect the dynamic nature of the business.
Before long, the team realized the tool they needed had been right under their noses all along: Jira! This is the story of what they built and how they built it.

HR On-Boarding Made Easy: How Fair Manages Hypergrowth with Jira
Nathan Oni
Support Engineer, Fair
Not too long ago, Fair was conducting on-boarding using email, chat messages, in person meetings and spreadsheets. The process was disjointed and disorganized, which was made harder by the fact that the number of new hires had tripled in size in just 9 months. Using a Jira Software Kanban board and Confluence in tandem, an intricate system has been created to manage 13 types of new hires and 55 checklist items needed to complete an individual's HR on-boarding. In this talk, you'll get a step by step overview of Fair's on-boarding process using Jira and Confluence. Attendees will leave with an actionable use case for their HR team.

Building a Culture of Trust and Transparency Through Confluence
Katie Burke
Chief People Officer, HubSpot
The natural inclination for most global public companies is to hide things, yet transparency has always been core to HubSpot's culture. But, a culture of transparency doesn't just happen -- you have to build it. One of the primary ways HubSpot has built a transparent culture is through "the wiki," powered by Confluence. At HubSpot, all 2,500 employees are encouraged to think like stakeholders or CEOs. Everyone has access to the wiki where everything is shared - from financials to strategy - with everyone in the organization. Why? Because sharing builds transparency, trust and alignment. The "wiki" removes the incentive for teams and leaders to solve for themselves over the organization, and instead encourages conversations, collaboration, and innovation for a common mission.
In this talk, Katie Burke, HubSpot's Chief People Officer, will share the story of how Confluence became a pillar of HubSpot's award-winning culture, as well as highlight specific use cases you'll be able to implement at your own company.

Lindenwood University has been named a "military friendly" school for 2014 by G.I. Jobs Magazine, an honor the magazine states is given to only 15 percent of colleges, universities, and trade schools nationwide. This is the fifth consecutive year Lindenwood has received the designation.
The designation, which is based on research, surveys, and other data, recognizes policies and practices to recruit and retain students who are members of the U.S. military or are veterans of the military.
"Lindenwood University is a liaison between the VA and the service members, their spouses, and their dependents and is an advocate for them as they pursue their academic goals," said Donna Simms, director of the university's Veterans Affairs Center. "To me, 'military friendly' means being of service to those who have given their service to our country."

The 2016 AXPONA show is over. On Sunday afternoon, the organizers stopped by to ask if AIX Records would like to reserve the Lakeshore B ballroom for the 2017 show. It's a hard…and expensive…decision. On the plus side, it's great to be able to demonstrate what real high-resolution music sounds like through a real high-resolution audio system (the only one that I was aware of at the show!). The comments were uniformly positive with many people coming back time and again to sit and enjoy my recording through a terrific system. There was one gentleman that sat in the sweet spot for over an hour. When I asked him why he stayed so long, he said, "Mark, there is nothing in any of the other rooms that's half as good as what you're doing here." That was a very nice compliment.
Of course, a great deal of the credit goes to my friends and partners Oppo Digital (customized BDT-101CI), Dolby Labs, Benchmark Media (DACs and Amplifiers), DH Labs (Cables), Revel Salon II (speakers), and Kenwood JVC (RS-600 4K projector). The sound in the Lakeshore B ballroom was second to none and the content we played blows away usual demonstration content…analog or digital.
But there's a downside too. Vendors spend a great deal of money to secure a room (especially a big room), move their equipment to and from the show, house and feed their representatives, and pay for plane tickets. For a small company like my own, it's way too much money to make sense. But we've managed to pull off a spectacular room at AXPONA since its inception back in Jacksonville, Florida. Our location in the hotel is less than ideal, too. Attendees don't find us as easily as the big rooms at the other end of the hotel. We're near the marketplace and people are in purchasing mode when the get in the neighborhood.
But I've decided that AIX Records and our partners will be back next year…in spite of the lower than expected sales, the lack of press coverage, not being invited to be part of the conference sessions (there was a time when I gave the keynote address at the AXPONA show), and the increasing cost of participating. We'll see what comes together next April…but we won't compromise on the experience visitors have come to expect.
The most unfortunate thing about expending all of the time and resources to pull together a truly state-of-the-art system is the lack of press coverage. There were a few online reports (Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity) but other coverage was completely missing. The major and minor audiophile sites and magazines ignored the room. How can a reviewer write a piece about the "best sound room at the show" and not have visited at least the major ballrooms? To ignore the only high-resolution capable, surround opportunity at the show strikes me as irresponsible…especially when these same publications have written glowing reports in the past and even awarded us "best sound" kudos.
I've read a number of the show reports. It seems the rooms with the largest equipment array, best dramatic lighting, loudest demo material, most ridiculous cables, and most expensive price tag come out ahead. I heard those rooms and was not impressed…they were nice but not great. By contrast the AIX Records and partners room had a single table with an Oppo BD player and three single rack unit high/half width Benchmark DX DACs. That was it! The DH Labs cables connected the outputs of the DACs to the Benchmark AHB2 Power Amps (which are also very small, don't have glowing tubes). The 5 Revel Salon II speakers were large freestanding towers but certainly weren't the largest speakers at the show. I guess size and cost do matter in audio things.
For those many attendees that sought us out, they were blown away…again. I played acoustic tracks, vocal tracks, jazz, and classical music from a new Blu-ray sampler disc. It was magical. You don't need volume to show off a great audio system. It's sad that the people that visit and write about these shows don't bother to check out one of the best rooms at the show.

Hey Mark,
Glad to see that Robert from Secrets was able to visit your room and listen to the setup. I've never had the pleasure to attend AXPONA but one of these days I hope to.
Now, while the system you had there was not the most complex and expensive at the show it wold be probably more than what an average home listener might want to deal with. I'm curios to know what kind of affordable or accessible system you think a home lister should have in order to get the best result when listening to your disks?
Hi Mark,
I am shure that AIX had the best room at Axpona. I have also some of yours acoustical recordings that sounds the best even in my low-middle system. I regret that these shows are too far from my country (about 8000km) but i am looking forward to receive the demo audio pieces and the pdf format audio book from you.
Best regards and keep doing what you do!!

Google notes today in its search engine home page the 100th anniversary of the birthday of Claude Shannon one of the most important contributors to the mathematical development and understanding of communications systems. He along with others like Nyquist developed the concepts that virtually all serious scientists and engineers around the world have relied on to develop the modern world of telecommunications and information technology as we know it. At Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill where his work was done, there has been a two day celebration attended by a lot of very important people in that industry, the real heavy hitters.
There is only one tiny group in one niche market I know of that rejects this understanding and insists it is inadequate and that is the so called high resolution audio advocates. I think they've got you guys surrounded. None of them could take you seriously. Whatever advantages your systems have over others, they are doubtless attributable to factors other than exceeding the requirements defined by Shannon and Nyquist.
Continue to do what you do best, offer common sense about true unaltered sound reproduction. You are one of very few that back up opinions with logic and fact. I made it a point to attend Axpona on a Sunday, less distraction from multiple conversations going on in the listening areas.
I heard that Elon Musk does not display the Tesla models in car shows (except in Montréal). From a marketing point of view, it is a bold move. But it seems to work. Surround high fidelity is still a novelty for most people. Like from the major car builders regarding electric cars, high-res surround music seems to be rejected from the traditional stereo journalists. Perhaps, your production should be exhibited more in an innovation show, than regular audio shows.
Despite the number of mfr's who have "It's all about the music' or some variant as their pitch, it isn't anymore. It's about equal parts conspicuous consumption and neurosis. Reviewers report on $50-80K loudspeakers and $2K power cords as if that's actually defensible. The commercial reviews seem based, consciously or not, on giving exposure to their advertisers. It's all about voodoo and/or "look-how-expensive-my-system-is" these days. Most of the gear I see, I wouldn't buy even if I won the powerball.
Please just keep on doing what you are doing. I've learned so much. Thanks Mark.
only short journey with you but the most enlightening one. Been a fanatic since the 60s and first time i have found someone that can explain differentiators in understandable language with no bs added. Congratulations with the show, would have loved to be there.
I have downloaded some of your test tracks and best i have found. We can't get HD tracks in Africa, so can't comment, but certain will struggle to match.
Imho to increase feet and bums is marketing and advertising. You seem to get the right partners and sure they will assist in such a budget. Increase in traffic bring some new challenges, bigger disparate audience with different preference in music, wanting to take something away.
Run education talks, will be more demand on you and team's time. Expect special pricing for product at the show.
Pleased to hear you will be doing again, your introduction and education to exceptional sound reproduction for man in the street will be relative to spreading the word. No harm in talking to innovative marketing firm that understand the space and customers you want to attract.
Keep up the good work
Maybe short different sessions during the days with focusing on specific music, Classical, Jazz, Big Band, Country, Blues, Rock, etc. That increases probability of return audience.
Offer bargain special multi-day packages including accommodation for supporters from faraway places like Africa.
I have been in your room the past four years. It always sounds terrific. I would gladly help offset the cost of your attending AXPONA next year. Do a funding campaign with one of the available sources like you have done before. I suggest $100 donation and a choice of two AIX cd's. See you in 2017. Tom
I concur…great show, great sound. I bought a few items from the booth…and would have bought more, but there were not many new releases.
I like the suggestion above to have short sessions highlighting HR reproduction of different types of music.
Just watched the youtube clip from Axpona, shot by AVShowrooms. Amazing one can hear the difference between good and bad sound via youtube. Your sound is definitely in the good category! Your 96/24 music sounded great but does the system sound great with CD, as I mainly have CD's? Cheers
Just happened to stumble onto a you tube vid. of a radio host speaking with you regarding high res music. How is the music delivered? On Blue Ray, DVD, downloaded, other? I find all this new jargon very confusing, since at my age I was not bathed in the mystic waters of bits and bytes. Would I need to download your high res music or is it available on something like Blue Ray, which I have hoped would one day be the standard for Audio recording, but which I was assured would never happen. Don't know why, something to do with piracy, I hear. Come to think of it, I just realized I have a double sided DVD "Soular Energy" Which I play on a cheap DVD player through a pretty good system, and this is the best sound I have got out of that system, (Bryston Amp, Ref 3A speakers,) I would love to be able to buy music of this quality even if I already owned the CD or Vinyl.
Just saw your video partially explaining the Yarra 3D technology. Didn't Polk speakers come out with this idea some years back, I believe in the 70s? Of course, I don't think Polks speakers employed DSP technology. It was an intriguing concept then, but never seemed to catch on. I hope there is more interest in it now.

Out of the Silence
How two alums dealt with devastating trauma.
By Keith Davis
Our voices are more than air vibrating against our vocal cords. Our voices broadcast who we are. So what happens when someone loses her voice?
"You become a stranger in a strange land," says Barbara Newborn '73, whose speaking ability was temporarily taken away by a stroke at age 21. "It's catastrophic," says Michaela Bushey '11, who was deprived of her star-quality singing voice by a diving accident at age 19.
Along with their voices went their plans. Instead of teaching English and speech, Newborn spent the months after graduation trying to find the words she needed to ask her mother for ice cream. A vocal performance major, Bushey spent the summer of what was to be her senior year focusing on breathing without a ventilator, not finalizing graduation plans.
Newborn's journey back from her land of isolation began in 1973. She now teaches yoga full time in Tampa. Bushey, in a wheelchair since her accident in 2010, is considering teaching music, studying to be a rehabilitation counselor, becoming a language interpreter, or maybe one day singing again.
What propels the two women forward is a voice only they can hear. Newborn calls it "the quiet place within yourself." Bushey names it "attitude and determination." The voices these two alums heed are beyond words; their stories, which follow, aren't.
"How does a brain-damaged person learn to speak, read, write, and listen?"
Barbara Newborn's Story
In June 1973, three weeks after graduating from IC with a degree in speech, Barbara Newborn, a recently engaged 21-year-old who was getting ready to embark on a teaching career, bent over in her Ithaca apartment to pull off her left sandal. Suddenly, she says she felt herself spinning, in slow motion, toward the bottom of a well. She heard her head hit the floor.
Newborn chronicled what happened in the following hours, weeks, and months in her 1997 book, Return to Ithaca. For starters, a neurologist at Elmira's Arnot Ogden Medical Center confirmed what Ithaca EMTs and emergency room physicians suspected: a clot in Newborn's carotid artery had blocked the blood flow to her brain. The freshly minted college graduate had suffered a stroke. Soon Newborn found herself being interviewed by "the people in white."
"The world became smaller and frightening," she said. "The medical people wanted words out of me, and every time I tried to speak, nonsense sounds slurred in my mouth. The doctors and nurses stared at me in disbelief. People didn't understand me anymore."
Equally as devastating: Newborn didn't understand herself.
"I'm right-handed, and the stroke totally paralyzed my right side," she said. "I couldn't hold a pencil or turn on the shower, let alone dance or play the piano. In the mirror was a stranger with one side of her face frozen, like a theater mask. But I wasn't just cut off from myself physically. The stroke emptied me of words and thoughts. I couldn't think in sentences and could barely hold simple images in my mind before they faded away."
Newborn returned to her parents' home in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The months of physical, occupational, and speech therapy that followed were worse than starting all over as a two-year-old. Not only could her damaged body not summon the reflexes to unscrew the cap on a toothpaste tube, Newborn's damaged brain couldn't process the instructions for that procedure. Even watching television was beyond her because to understand punch lines, she had to remember the set-up lines, and she couldn't.
"I could live with a feeble walk or a paralyzed limb," she said. "But it was hard for me to exist without communication. How does a brain-damaged person learn to speak, read, write, and listen?"
Working It Out
Newborn describes the mental gymnastics she had to go through just to vocalize a simple statement. First, she had to sort out the sensory stimuli, then she had to form the ideas with the proper sequencing, and then she had to search for the correct phrase to describe the idea before finally choosing the precise words and pronouncing them correctly.
"My aphasia was more than a physical problem," she wrote in her book. "It involved my whole social and emotional being... Society chose not to understand me any longer and was too impatient to even try. I had to tolerate constant interruptions, and people not understanding what I was saying, or just ignoring me. With my past forgotten, I had to take this uncharted journey alone, redefining myself through the chaos of aphasia."
After five months of repeated therapies — and the breakup of her engagement — Newborn's occupational therapist poured talcum powder on a tabletop, two inches from Newborn's right arm, and told her to move the inert limb toward the powder. On that day, like all the others, the arm wouldn't budge.
"My body got tense, as always, but that time I decided to find a way to calm down. Instinctively, I took one long breath and shut my eyes. I'd never studied meditation, but concentrating totally on the task, I found myself focused on the electric current running through my flaccid arm. My mind connected with my arm's energy, and my arm started to move."
Expanding Horizons
With the spell of paralysis broken, Newborn's horizons began to reopen.
"The doctors, therapists, and my loving parents were my rescuers, but they were also my imprisoners," Newborn said. "The stroke had emptied me of my identity, and I was becoming part of whatever environment I was in. I needed to take responsibility for my own wellness."
The place to do that was the only place she'd lived as an adult: Ithaca.
"It was a huge risk, and my parents were against it," she said. "'How will you find good therapists?'
'How will you support yourself?' Very good questions, but if I didn't take the risk I knew I should, I'd never heal all the way."
So, with a brain she described as "a leaky sieve," Newborn returned to Ithaca, found an apartment and a part-time job, retook her driver's test, and audited graduate courses at Cornell — an adventure because she had trouble remembering where the letters were on a keyboard. Instead of typing her papers, she wrote them longhand, often 10 to 15 times, each subsequent draft having fewer spelling and grammar errors and fewer foggy concepts
"It was like writing something on a blackboard 200 times," she said. "Slowly, slowly, things start to sink in."
Promoting Well-Being
Also in Ithaca, Newborn introduced herself to yoga.
"Being partially paralyzed kept me from dancing," she said. "But it didn't keep me from doing yoga. I was the worst one in the class, so the instructor gave me private lessons. She taught me how to move in ways I hadn't thought possible. She also taught me how to breathe."
Learning to control her breath reminded Newborn of that contemplative moment when she'd first moved her paralyzed arm.
"Yoga and meditation led me to quiet places within myself, and there I found recovery. For a disabled person, it can be defeating trying to be 'your old self.' My rational mind had been damaged, but that opened the door to my heart."
Newborn also came to the epiphany that her voice did not define who she was.
"We think we are our words, defending our arguments no matter what the cost," she wrote in her book. "But nothing is further from the truth. If we were born into a world where silence prevailed, we would discover that our spiritual journey is connecting our minds with our hearts."
After leaving Ithaca in 1974, Newborn earned two master's degrees, founded a camp for head trauma victims, pioneered programs for young adults with traumatic brain injuries, and served as spokesperson for Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center's National Stroke Medical Education Institute. During it all, she practiced yoga and began teaching it part-time. Twelve years ago she and her husband moved to Tampa and established Gardens of Yoga, where they teach full time.
Knowing What's Important
"Growing up, I was the girl who had everything — loving family, good looks, athletic gifts, and popularity," Newborn said. "Now, 40 years later, even with a hand that's slightly paralyzed and speech that sometimes slurs, I still have everything, but now my focus isn't only on the outside person.
Almost 70 percent of my yoga students have physical challenges, and by helping them move and meditate and focus on their breath, I'm showing them how to integrate the self within with the self without. I would have loved to have taught English and speech, but we're more than just our words and our language. We have to balance our rational minds with intuition and compassion and give ourselves in service. Right now, I'm doing what's right for me. I have absolutely no regrets."
Michaela Bushey's Story
"I was completely dependent on everybody for everything."
By the summer before her senior year at IC, 19-year-old Michaela Bushey had built a long list of accomplishments. Three years earlier, in 2007, she'd graduated from high school as class salutatorian, then made dean's list every semester at IC, and was inducted into the academic honor society Phi Kappa Phi. Majoring in vocal performance and music education, she'd sung lead roles in high school and Ithaca College Theatre productions, and played piano and sang at Brooktondale Baptist Church in Ithaca and the Independent Baptist Church near her home in AuSable, New York. In the winter of what was to have been her senior year, she added to that list by wiggling her right toe.
"I was thrilled," said Angela, Michaela Bushey's mother. "It was a huge step."
Nine months earlier, July 4, 2010, Bushey, a former lifeguard, dove into an above-ground swimming pool in her boyfriend Kyle Devins's backyard. She hit her head on the bottom. When she floated to the surface, she could blink and breathe, but everything below her neck was numb.
"I'd done a million shallow-water dives," she said. "What was different about that one, I'll never know."
She also didn't know why her arms and legs wouldn't move. It would take Kyle '11, an athletic training major at IC, to stabilize his high school sweetheart; an ambulance ride to an acute care hospital in Plattsburgh, New York; and surgery at the university medical center in Burlington, Vermont, to be certain that Bushey had indeed fractured two vertebrae in her neck. With that diagnosis, she became one of the quarter million Americans suffering from a spinal cord injury.
"One moment I was a normal college student whose biggest worry was getting a D on an exam," Bushey said. "A split second later, I was someone completely dependent on everybody for everything. It took my family and Kyle and me months to understand what was going on and how we were going to live with it."
The Aftermath
Two weeks after the accident, Bushey was airlifted to Atlanta's Shepherd Center for rehabilitation.
"That summer was the absolute low point," she said. "That's when it was dawning that there's no quick fix for spinal cord injuries. What comes back comes back slowly, if at all. It was catastrophic."
When she left Atlanta for home in late September, she'd regained some movement in her right bicep. Everything else, including her vocal cords and the abdominal and rib muscles required for breath control and voice projection, remained paralyzed. For an accomplished singer and pianist, the situation was indeed "catastrophic."
"I felt completely defeated," she said. "My life was over. I'm just going to live in my wheelchair and that's that."
Promising Moves
But in January she started another rehab program, this one at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore.
"They turned everything around for me," Bushey said. "At some places, the message is, what you don't get back in the first six months, you're never going to get back, and you'll just have to adapt. But at Kennedy Krieger, they tell you that you can always recover sensation and function and independence. Always. At Kenney Krieger, they give you hope."
In addition to moving her toe at Kennedy Krieger, Bushey also regained trace movements in her fingers. She was a long way from playing the piano, but she'd tallied those two accomplishments. She wanted more.
"I really wanted to get back to Ithaca and get my degree," she said. "It seemed like a million-to-one shot because I needed 24-hour care. I knew I couldn't complete the major in performance, but I still wanted to get a teaching degree. I only needed 14 credits."
Impossible Made Possible
In mid-February, some 20 IC administrators and faculty gathered to discuss the situation. As a result, walls were knocked down — literally. Rooms in a residence hall were converted into an accessible living space for Bushey and her mother. Parking, dining, enrollment, and financial arrangements were also worked out. When her classmates returned after spring break 2011, so did Bushey.
"A lot of IC people did a lot of things to make that happen," she said. "I can't begin to express my gratitude to all the people at the College for opening the way for me to come back and finish my degree. I'm especially grateful to Keith Kaiser [interim associate dean of the School of Music] for playing such a key role in that effort. I never in a million years thought coming back to school would be possible."
Able to move her arms but not her hands or legs, Bushey continued physical and occupational therapy. She also took four courses, sang in the choir at the Commencement Eve Concert, and completed a seven-week student-teaching stint this fall. She's on course to receive her K–12 teaching certificate this December.
Bushey hesitates to mention the people who have supported her for fear of leaving someone out, but she and her family are grateful for the benefit concert by Mu Phi Epsilon, a service-oriented music fraternity; the "lift-a-thon" fund-raiser sponsored by Kyle and his fellow IC track team members; the people in her local community who established a trust fund to cover medical expenses; and the fellow parishioners of her local church who rebuilt the Busheys' front porch so it could support the weight of a power wheelchair.
Future Plans
"My plan right now is to have a good experience student teaching," Bushey said this fall. "After that, I'm not really sure. I could be a music teacher — I've gotten a lot of faculty support for that. I might go to grad school to be a rehabilitation counselor and help other injured people find their way back. Or, I've always had a knack for languages. Maybe I could be an interpreter."
"And maybe she could get her voice back," said Kaiser. "Some experts said she wouldn't get this far."
"My faith in God has been a huge part of my emotional and physical healing," Bushey said. "My faith is what has allowed me to come this far. It's the most powerful thing I've got."
Rehabilitation: A Winding, Uphill Grind
How do you get to Carnegie Hall? The same way you travel the road to recovery: practice, practice, practice.
"Our brains are [like] plastic, meaning the function and structure of our brains can change depending on our experiences with our environment. That means brains have the potential to recover from even severely traumatic injuries," said Yvonne Rogalski, assistant professor of speech-language pathology and audiology at IC, whose specialty is working with adults who have experienced strokes or similar neurogenic disorders. "People may not recover to the level at which they were operating before the event, but they are capable of coming back and doing some remarkable things."
And that goes for language, too, Rogalski says. People who have lost their reading, writing, or speaking abilities through stroke or some other trauma can make some amazing progress toward regaining grammar, comprehension, and word-finding abilities.
"That's the power of neuroplasticity," she says.
Unfortunately, the human brain and its network of 100 billion neurons don't rebound automatically.
"Rehabilitation is about repetition, practice and perseverance in a task that may be difficult, and it's frustrating," Rogalski said. "Your muscles don't go where you want them to. The word you're looking for just can't be found, or if it can, it comes out sounding different from what you expected. There's this human tendency to give up when we're frustrated, but rehab is about breaking through that frustration and persisting in doing the things you want most to avoid."
The way to keep trying, said Rogalski, is to have attainable goals.
"There is still a belief that whatever you haven't recovered after a certain period of time will never be recovered, but I would never tell a client that. For me, it's all about understanding that our brains have the potential to adapt. They may not change as much as we'd like, but people who have suffered serious trauma can improve and make gains."
The location and extent of the neural damage and the person's age do factor into the healing process, but all other things being equal, motivation is the key.
"As the therapist, I'm the outward force trying to break though that barrier of frustration," Rogalski said. "I individualize the therapy to fit the client's goals. I provide the structure and educate my clients about their brains' remarkable ability to adapt, but I can't do the work. The force within the client accomplishes that. That's why I find Barbara's and Michaela's stories so remarkable. They are highly motivated, and they haven't given up."

DiscoTalk about music - songs/albums that you love, and the ones that you don't.
20 posts • Page 1 of 1
I am giggling today, cuz it's destined to come back!
And today someone posted this sample! The album called "Dirty Disco"
http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/dirty- ... d487337818
it's not really great, but it's got the Disco name!
Re: Disco
OMG! I just discovered that Donna Summers has died.
This is a sad day for music.
So let's dedicate some disco to the Queen.
my earth is shaking
Re: Disco
Well .....my dad was a singer in the 70's and steered me away from Disco......and promoted Rock and Roll... But now........I appreciate both! Each for a different purpose and mood!
Re: Disco
well, we killed Disco here! But I always loved it!
Here you go, someone new, playing Disco!
Adeline Michele "Another Night"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huLKbncF ... 913B975969
a perfect match for Jamiroquai!
Re: Disco
So, why don't you give me your favorite Disco tunes so I can add to a great cd mix.
Here's what I have so far:
Last Night a Dj saved my life (In deep)
Ring my Bell (Anita Ward)
Everybody (Madonna)
Le Freak (Chic)
We are Family (Sister Sledge)
Good Times (Chic)
Boogie Oogie Oogie (Taste of Honey )
and Little L JMQ
Re: Disco
You can add these ones for me....
Lets Groove (Earth Wind and Fire)
You dropped a Bomb on me (Gap Band)
Give me the Night (George Benson)
Good Times (Chic)
Boogie Wonderland (Earth Wind and Fire)
Re: Disco
Cool idea Giba!
I Feel Love - Donna Summer
Get Up and Boogie - Silver Convention
Shake Your Groove Thing - Peaches & Herb
Disco Nights - Gq (The version I have goes for 8 minutes!)
and I think You Give Me Something and Canned Heat will fit right in with a disco mix too!
Re: Disco
Thanks -all great suggestions!
CoxmicLea!! I just heard that Donna Summer song on the radio 2 days ago and forgot to add it!
Curse_t -I do have Chic on it, and recently bought Benson's "Give me the Night", put it on my dance disc. Also put "She's a Fast Persuader".
But maybe I should put "YouGMS" on the Disco one!
I don't know the "Disco Nights" song!
Re: Disco
O yah...forgot this one...Daddy cool (Boney M)
Re: Disco
It's funny that you question if they are lip-syncing Giba - cuz there was a bit of a scandal about it! It was uncovered in the 80s that only 2 of the girls in Boney M actually sang vocals! Unfortunately Bobby Farrell was lip-syncing and it wasn't even his real voice! Did you ever hear of Milli Vanilli from the late 80s/early 90s? They were founded by the same guy, Frank Farian, who founded Boney M and were only hired for their looks - they mimed to someone else's voices as well! Can't believe this Frank Farian tried the same shifty tricks twice!
On another note in regard to Boney M, you know how Jay Kay sang "Sunny" on the Jools Holland show? Well I only knew that song because of Boney M's disco version that I remembered from when I was a kid!
(Bobby really was a great dancer!)
Re: Disco
Okay ..here is a song by Moses Mayes...seems suitable!
Re: Disco
"Give me the Night" is such a great tune, and it plays very long.
Maybe Mr. Harris is keeping up with us here!
Funny, I just read through the thread -CosmicLea -I do remember Milli Vanilli! What a spoof!
Obviously, Boney M. was hired for his funky grooves!
Re: Disco
So, I guess George Benson played London yesterday?!
But here is a funky Disco House mix: Jamiroquai vs. Daft Punk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VLYZtf ... re=related
I really still don't know Daft Punk's stuff!
Re: Disco
I did watch this one a while back.....but I can't view your link now....
