Best Of :: Music & Nightlife
It's been open since late last summer, but modern beer garden Block Party recently expanded its weekend hours to open at noon, making it the ultimate hangout for early birds looking for cool drinks on warm days. Boozy snow cones, margarita slushies and micheladas topped with paletas are among the hits here. They're also some of the most Instagrammable beverages in town, if you're a do-it-for-the-'gram type of drinker. We suggest skipping the photo session and opting for a friendly game of shuffleboard on the back patio instead. When hunger strikes, ask the bartender to see a menu binder — you can order whatever local eats your heart desires and bring them right back to go with some craft beers. On select evenings, food trucks and pop-up patio dinners make a walk to pick up your food unnecessary.
When New York interloper Michael Swier of Bowery Ballroom fame opened his downtown-adjacent, 600-capacity club in the summer of 2015, it seemed like a dubious venture at best. How could an outsider, even one with local partners like Monty Bar's Joe Baxley and Aquarium Drunkard's Scott Simoneaux, compete for talent in a crowded market against local heavyweights like Spaceland Presents and Goldenvoice? But right from Teragram Ballroom's opening night, which featured Spoon doing a serious underplay, Swier and his partners have established themselves as major players, scoring such impressive bookings (especially for such an intimate venue) as Guided by Voices, Beth Orton, Dinosaur Jr., Lydia Lunch, Queens of the Stone Age, Television and Gary Numan. The main room has great sound and sightlines, and two additional bar areas provide a good beer selection and decent eats. And, not insignificantly, parking doesn't suck — there's an affordable auto-pay lot just a couple blocks away (avoid the pricy valet lot directly across the street, though). It didn't seem as if L.A. needed another midsized music venue, but Teragram is a welcome addition to the concert landscape that will keep the competition on its toes.
The rest of the country only recently caught on, but Los Angeles has long been riding for YG. Listen, and you'll hear him everywhere: That fat-bottomed bass line booming out of the '69 Chevy hittin' switches on Rosecrans belongs to his G-funked–up "Twist My Fingaz." His sparse, Drake and Kamaiyah–featuring mantra "Why You Always Hatin'?" spins hourly on Power 106. Clubs still bang his gleefully raunchy 2008 wham-bam classic, "Toot It and Boot It." He's even become ubiquitous at political rallies; his and Nipsey Hussle's menacing anthem "Fuck Donald Trump" has become the year's de facto protest song. He's so omnipresent that even people who've never set foot south of Staples Center refer to Compton as "Bompton," in deference to the Blood slang he's helped popularize. But YG didn't capture the heart of the city just with great records. Like most natives, he's not "Hollywood." He still kicks it in his 'hood. He dresses, in his words, like a cholo. He prefers a lowrider to a #raplife Rolls-Royce Phantom. In other words, he's one of us. To answer the question posed in one of his biggest singles: Who do we love? YG.
In L.A., the next great undiscovered songwriter can be right under our noses, putting in the legwork for years as a sideperson in other people's bands before finally taking the plunge herself. Such is the case with Steady Holiday, the project helmed by Dre Babinski. Babinski's been playing the violin since she was 10, and has long provided studio and tour support for a range of acts big (Fitz and the Tantrums, .fun) and small (Dusty Rhodes & the River Band, Hunter Hunted). Steady Holiday, though, is Babinski's first attempt at something to call her own, and with a slot at this year's Coachella ahead of the June release of her debut album, Under the Influence, it's safe to say things are going well. Babinski plays violin and guitar on compositions that are often elegant and fully realized, akin to the early work of St. Vincent. Babinski's widely attended June residency at the Satellite unveiled a musician of disparate tastes, incorporating tender, solo guitar ballads with muscular, full-band covers of Paul McCartney and The Flaming Lips. If Babinski waited her whole life to finally own the spotlight, her project is all the better for it. She's ready for the attention, and deserving of it.
Two weeks after The Dead Ships' sold-out release party for Citycide, frontman Devlin McCluskey was slogging through video edits for the title track. "It's a weird rotoscoping process that's taking a ridiculous amount of time," he explained, before cheerfully volunteering that the project "for sure won't pay off the way I'm hoping." But given how 2016 has unfolded, McCluskey should be more confident. After playing Coachella at the invitation of founder Paul Tollett, landing a string of dates with The Cult, playing Milwaukee's massive Summerfest and recording a four-song Daytrotter session, The Dead Ships debuted Citycide to near-universal praise, with single "First Mistakes" leaping to a top-five spot on KROQ's influential Locals Only playlist. "Even the one sort-of negative review still said it was a must-listen album," says the lanky 31-year-old, "so it was like, oh well, I think we did a good job here." For now, McCluskey is enjoying being home, "writing a ton of songs, and feeling really good and hopeful about what's coming up," meaning fans have good reason to be hopeful, too.
It's been a long time since Eddie Van Halen tore into "Eruption" at Sunset Sound in 1977, or Slayer and Megadeth escalated the thrash-metal arms race in the early '80s. But Pasadena's Holy Grail prove L.A. is still a haven for behemoth riffs, breakneck solos and metal shrieks to raise the dead. Their 2016 concept album, Times of Pride and Peril, is a 45-minute thrill ride, combining the pyrotechnics of guitarists Eli Santana and Alex Lee with the piston-pumping rhythms of drummer Tyler Meahl and bassist Blake Mount and James Paul Luna's operatic vocals. While their biggest inspiration is clearly New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, they inject serious doses of rumbling thrash metal and symphonic prog, all of it undergirding massive hooks that are all their own. Like the L.A. metal warriors that came before them, Holy Grail have done their time on the stages at the Roxy and the Whisky, but they're also true road dogs, having already criss-crossed the country multiple times this year alone. Stick around after the show and you might even be treated to a few of Lee's insane yo-yo tricks.
Take out the periods and push together the letters of the name of this local electronic duo and you get ladrones, which means "thieves" in Spanish. That wordplay becomes clearer when L.A. Drones hit stages across the city. The duo, who go by the stage names Kontrol Remoto and Darlingtonia Brackets, perform with faces covered in black cloth, like the comic book images of old-fashioned robbers, and their music is heavily based on stealing — er, sampling — from their synth-pop forebears. They play with synths and the occasional sax, singing lines like, "Give me all your money, give me all your love" (from "Don't You Want to Dance?"). L.A. Drones are for the electro kids, making music that would fit between '80s classics and turn-of-the-century artists like Miss Kittin & The Hacker, served with charm, energy and a good sense of humor.
Tucked away on a downtown block of concrete nothing, just a few strides from the baby Brooklyn vibes of the Arts District, Lot 613 occupies a unique space in the landscape of Los Angeles clubbing. It has the aesthetic of a renegade warehouse –– a stripped-down, industrial cave with few frills –– but is fully licensed and legal, and often stays open until 4 a.m. It is the home base of Prototype, a party series that consistently features the best underground dance bookings in the city — Âme, Nina Kraviz and local legend DJ Harvey have graced 613's unadorned decks in the past few months alone. Its massive outside area, replete with full bar and taco operation, provides needed respite from the booming bass and heaving bodies of Lot 613's shadowy inner den, where you'll find a much wider demographic of Angeleno hip kids getting down than at any Hollywood club. While L.A. nightlife has a somewhat deserved reputation for flashy materialism, Lot 613 is about the music and nothing else.
"You can't understand the blues until you've had your heart broken, and you can't understand my music 'til you've had group sex on ecstasy." DJ Harvey's self-description says it all. He is house music's rock star. Harvey Bassett has been bringing a subversive, punk edge to dance music since the '80s, when he popularized the disco re-edit and was an early resident DJ at London's famed Ministry of Sound. And he's done it all with a scruffy yet debonair air that has made him a cult figure and a style icon. The grizzled, mustachioed veteran shacks up in Venice Beach but still roams the world dropping the marathon, eight-hour sets for which he's famed. Trends come and go, styles change, but DJ Harvey will always be the coolest motherfucker at the party.
Usually when you see someone in an L.A. club wearing a fedora, you know you're in the wrong club. But on Thursday nights at the Virgil, when Funkmosphere is in full swing, the only fedoras in attendance will be plush red ones worn by older gentlemen holding court at the bar, spitting game about playing bass for the funk band Lakeside and hanging out with Wilt Chamberlain. Funkmosphere is the brainchild of modern funk evangelist Dam-Funk, who launched it as a club night devoted to boogie music — sweaty and sweet deep grooves from the late '70s and early '80s, somewhere in between slowed-down disco and smoothed-out funk — and boogie's contemporary incarnation, modern funk. Although Dam himself occasionally makes DJ appearances, resident DJs Billy Goods, Randy Watson, Laroj, Eddy Funkster and Matt Respect, plus great guest DJs, continue Dam's mission of creating a positive and unpretentious night of high-grade funk for your ass to move to.
Resident DJs and hosts Christi Mills and Mr. Bootsauce keep the househeads in Hollywood on Thursday nights with Unity. The weekly party goes down at One666 on a cozy dance floor where the residents are joined by guests culled from the local house scene and tour circuit. Recent guests include genre legend Jesse Saunders and London-based DJ/producer Giom. The party also has a good track record for booking women; in fact, for Mills' birthday recently, the lineup was all-female. Deep house is the sound of choice, and the DJs cater to a crowd with discerning tastes: It's the kind of party where you'll see DJs on the dance floor when they aren't playing, and where even the bouncer can catch a groove. Covers vary depending on the guest bookings but veer toward the low end for Hollywood. Follow Unity on Facebook to keep up on lineups, locations, covers and drink specials.
Since reopening in late 2015 with a deeply etched facelift, the historic Clifton's Cafeteria on Broadway downtown has developed an unlikely cult status as a favored venue for locals and intrepid drinkers alike. The cafeteria downstairs is still heavily frequented by tourists and geriatric day-trippers, but Clifton's four bars can be a totally different story. Centered around a massive, multistory faux redwood tree, the environs can feel like an amusement park log cabin at times, but there's a warm charm and quirky, immersive quality to be found amidst the taxidermied animals and ornate wooden furniture. The drinks menu is both ambitious and creative, but Clifton's manages to be approachable, despite its heavy layers of kitsch. Climb up its many staircases and you'll find three floors of bars, boudoirs and hidden nooks all decked out in fanciful style. Everywhere you turn has some strange novelty to ogle, and Clifton's wealth of environments and arrangements can turn an evening into an adventure. That you're drinking in one of the most historic spots in all of Los Angeles just adds to the magic.

Business students honored by Governor's Office
|Liberty's Enactus Team meets with Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs/Provost Dr. Ron Godwin and Vice President for Academic Affairs/Vice Provost Dr. Ron Hawkins after the team won Rookie of the Year at a regional Enactus competition in March.
A business plan to import coffee and sell it locally has earned Liberty University business students Honorable Mention for Best Social Enterprise in this year's Governor's Business Plan Challenge.
The competition, hosted by Work It, Richmond, recognizes Virginia's strong entrepreneurial spirit. In all, 21 teams from colleges throughout Virginia pitched their business plans and competed for a top prize of $10,000. Entrepreneurs and business leaders from across the state served as judges and panelists.
Liberty sent its Enactus Team to the competition (Enactus is an international organization of student, academic, and business leaders that focuses on using entrepreneurial action to better society. There are more than 500 teams and 21,000 students involved in the organization in the United States.) Liberty's team members for the Governor's Business Plan Challenge were Joshua Williams, Tim Abbott, Sam Rouse, Robert Gallup, Tat Kieu Nguyen, Becca Streets, Tom Cirbus, Ricky Allen, Eleni Belay, Nana Abena Manu, and Daniel Kregenow.
Their project, "Cup of Hope," is a plan to import coffee from the Dominican Republic and sell it locally, with most of the profits going toward building and funding an orphanage there. It would also provide a feasible, sustainable income for women and subsistence farmers in the community.
The team entered the competition with a win already under its belt. It was named Rookie of the Year in the Enactus 2013 Charlotte Regional in March.
Although the Governor's Challenge was not an Enactus-sponsored event, it proved to be a great opportunity for Liberty's team.
"We were recognized with the top schools in the state," said Dr. George Young, associate professor at Liberty's School of Business and the team's faculty advisor. "It is great to see that what we are teaching here in the School of Business is being validated by a group of distinguished panelists and judges, because what they were talking about (at the event) is what we are teaching."
Young said Enactus appeals to the top business students in the country because of its networking opportunities and the chance for them to put entrepreneurial skills into practice.
"They are seeing how to take an idea and bring it to fruition," Young said. "They are learning how you develop, how you find out if the idea is feasible, and how you develop a working business plan to take to investors and then launch the project."
Liberty has had a team for the last four years, though it was formerly called SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) before the organization rebranded. The current team was assembled last fall and began to prepare its presentation in February.
As for "Cup of Hope," the project is already taking shape. Plans for exporting have been solidified and an investor has committed the necessary funds. Enactus is working to secure clients, including some local churches, and on branding and marketing.
"The students are using what they are learning in the classroom to fulfill demand that is out there," Young said. "But they are using those proceeds to help better society. The sustainability on this project is phenomenal."

I really enjoyed some of the fusiony instrumentals Chet Atkins did toward the end of his life. They were mellow, even perhaps 'middle of the road' stylistically, but they were impeccably performed with a nice sensibility about them.

My thought is that there is nothing such as prog or prog rock, but there is progressive music.
Being progressive is not equal to being progressive sometimes, when you think with the genres. Because there are some bands that makes progressive music not in all but some albums even if they are so famous so known as prog rock or progressive rock. Such as Yes, King Crimson, Rush, Genesis, Marillion, etc. Can you tell the differences between 1970's King Crimson and 2000's King Crimson? yeah I can, there are really some differences both in the name of being progressive and in general idea of making music.
Also not only rock or metal music but also other music genres can be progressive, even hip-hop(although it seems kinda funny to me) for example saying prog pop, prog folk or prog electronic music is senseless. Prog is a term that is specialised for progressive rock bands if you look at it's origin. (these are my opinions even if they may seem absurd for someone)

Funny thing this. I have an old friend (from Finland), that is old enought to have bought Cream and Hendrix albums when they was first was released.
Still, he was a teenager in the 60's and 70's, and he was involved in the leftist movement, listening to avant-garde and free jazz and psychedelic rock, but didn't have a clue about what "progressive rock" was.
Of course he knew psychedelic rock, but he couldn't quite grasp prog. He listened to ELP and Mahavishnu Orchestra, but labeled those band as psychedelic and Jazz Fusion. He had a concept of prog, but that was from the music from Sweden called "progg" with two G's. That style was more a kind of leftist protest music, more in the vein of the US folk movement of the 60's, and maybe lyrically a precursor to punk, with biting lyrics of social criticism, but hardly viritous playing and complex arrangements that I mean by prog.
He has been on concert with the finnish bands Wigwam and Tasavallan Presidentti in the 70's, but still did not connect those bands with "prog".
So to the OP, I have some understading of your dilemma :)

I just keep thinking bout "Robbery, Assault, and Battery'' at about the two-minute mark where they just splice up the meter like 5 times, I'll never understand. But that's prog and I like it.

I actually don't care at all what exactly prog is. some bands which I consider to be prog (the Deep Freeze Mice, for example) will be scoffed at by others at best. in our record collection we don't distinguish between musical styles at all; it is all sorted by artist names (in case of classical composers not the artist playing the composition but the composer).

I love music. Music that challenges the mind, music that challenges the heart, music that challenges the soul. Piazzolla, Brel, Vaughn Williams, Ekome, gamelan, Chopin, Bruford, CeeLo Green, Stevie Wonder, Eno, Coltrane, Steve Reich, Palestrina, Bacharach, The Beatles, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Anthony Phillips. They have all moved me, amazed me, and challenged me; they are all progressive to me. (Forget the rock. Let it be music.)

Love Dean's words on this!
This is a view, again just as Dean states, that is very different from most. Mine has a very academic background, and a very intense music appreciation course, that stats with music 1,000 years ago, all the way to the most modern of folks -- something that I continued after those composers -- from the way I look at it. For example, my dad's collection ended in electronics by Stockhausen and Heinemann ... and I immediately blew him apart with Beaver and Krause, Terry Riley, Walter Carlos, Tomita and others ... and then one day, the great one saw a Kubrick film, and all of a sudden ... that's cool ... that's good ... and everyone went out and bought it, and all of a sudden electronic music of any kind is ok with everyone ... and rock music did not waste any time ... it was already doing it anyway!
Rock music, for me, was an extension of that story ... and the progression of that music ... if it weren't for the electricity, it probably would never have been heard, understood, or appreciated ... as it became! I really believe that electricity is the single biggest change in the history of music -- in the 20th century ... because it took away what was once not possible ... !!!
Like Dean states, everyone's view is different and changes through time ... and I have to agree whole heartedly and with passion, because that is true. However, I do not discuss, or review, any work, by its history ... as my only point of reference is my reaction to that moment, and I (obviously) could not react to that moment that takes place today, and not yesterday ... even with all the psychic abilities in place to help! My reaction was ... THEN ... not now, and this I have learned with my film reviews over 25 years and 500 of them! Along with a few errors now and then, of course!
But, I have done a couple of things that helped me define what I do ... I went back and watched a couple of films and re-read my reviews ... and you know what? ... I still feel the same now about what I said then, even if I use a few different words ... and now, you have an issue ... how do you define things?
I can't.
Is it progressive? For me, my experience with film "might" be progressive, but only as an element that I had no choice but use subtitles on foreign films in America, in order to learn English, because there was no grammar in this country in school to help me learn the language and spelling and pronounciation is different in at least 5 different parts of the US of A. The music itself, was more my own expression and feelings at the time. I still relate to "Close to the Edge" and "Tales" from an internal/spiritual point of view ... both of these works are not "empty" and neither are they vapid and ignorant ... they are very honest attempts to say something and tell you something, some of which many of us might not like from a spirit realm area ... because some of us would rather read another book! ... but is that reason to fault Jon Anderson and say he's screwed up? ... NO!
There is one film ... that is EXACTLY ... what you, I, all of us, here on this board ... are about ... plain and simple ... no ifs and butts about it. That film was special for me then, because I saw many of those folks, and I also fought and stood up for the many things they stood up for ... some of which were buried -- in time -- by drugs, sex, and rock'n'roll that became less and less important and vapid ... the meaning kinda lost its balance.
I always appreciated the ferocity, the strength, the excitement, and the DESIRE, above all, of Alvin Lee's "Going Home", in that film ... but it made a lot of the music in the rest of the film less important, but he was right ... at the end of the day, yeah, I would wanna go home and spend the rest of the time celebrating it in bed with my loved one ... I was not the only one to dream and ENJOY that dream, btw ... however, it made me think one thing ... so nothing else mattered? I went home, had sex and forgot about it? ... and all I could tell myself was ... nope ... I won't ... it means too much to me ... and I had my head bashed in ... and I was frisked and frisked for a whole week ... and insulted by the ROTC folks doing it ... during Kent State ... and just recently seeing that film with Neil Young helped validate a lot of my feelings ... I was NOT the only one!
To me, the music is not "progressive" since all music is a form of propression or another from the previous generation ... there are a thousand ways that jazz is a progression of a lot of classical music ... none of which folks are willing to put yap about. Likewise there is just as much great music, that is done electrically that can easily be considered "classical" ... as I state, by folks my age, that took their music to be more important and serious, than a simple hit song on the radio or the internet! ...
Lastly ... please be mindful to one set of words that Dean had here ... there was something happening in that music that made it important ... it had a 3rd dimention that most music did not have, and does not have, and this is the factor that creates "art scenes" in history of ANY of the arts ... and you can go read Robert Jensen's History of Art, or an equivalent book on Music and Literature ... with one problem ... most folks here do not have the appreciation for it all at all ... and can only discuss and ask questions that pertain to the hit, or the song's trivialities that will disappear faster than anything else.
As such, having an importance that supersedes many individuals, it deserves a "title" or"name" and I accept the "progressive" term, although as I mentioned before, almost all the arts have always been a progression of what was there before, but it makes it visible, within 10 wonderful years ... what most cultures never did in their lifetimes and I find it a treat to be a part of the folks that talk about it, and are not afraid to discuss it, and take it to the next level. It will get there, anyway, because you can't stop time, and its strength and beauty ... and none of us will ever get tired of Jimi, Janis, Jim, for example, who, for me, were the parents that helped define and bring about a lot of this music and work.
One major note here ... both film, literature and the visual arts were far ahead of music in this "progressive" stage, and a lot of that might have to do with the commercialization of popular music ... and the ability to pull all of these forces together is probably the most difficult thing to understand, even though there might be a lot of common themes, like the VietNam war and such. But it was not the only thing. Probably even bigger and more important is that this also coincides with the age that Television went into every room and people were seeing things, that were unbelievable ... and incredible ... and to me ... this is when "Guernica" hit home ... and I really believe that a lot of those arts, music included, became the symbol for that new way, the new world, the new life, the new everything ... with all the good, the bad and the ugly ... and you know you saw that in film!
Many of us also saw that in music.
Many other of us saw that in art.
It's a part of our lives, and we can tell you, not just Dean, that it was more important to many of us, then, as it is now, that we discuss it. So, in the end, are we progressive? ... yeah ... a lot more than most ever were! And we have the history and the insight to show for it!
And yes ... a major thanks to Dean for helping put words on so much of it ... so progressive, it's not funny!
... none of the hits, none of the time ... now you know what the art is all about!

If it is not 1-4-5, vi-ii-V-I, swing, boogie, country, hip hop, or a straight waltz... it could be prog!
Perhaps hip hop could become prog. I would listen to some hardcore freestlye in 7/8.

This reminds me of a discussion in which somebody quoted a prominent jazz musician saying "I don't know what jazz is" to argue that anything goes in jazz. To which I said, so...how about I call Slayer jazz henceforth.
Music categorisation is not a value judgment, but too many listeners seem to take it as such, not realising that they are really attached to an artist's work rather than the genre.

Ok...so prog is infact a figment of our imagination?
Anyway, I say Prog is a definative genre. I say that as I was brought up with all forms of Classic Rock.
See in my house I knew there were differences...
'Cheesy but nice enough' meant A.O.R.
'The one's that your father refers to as 'sickening' so I never get to play them' meant Glam Metal.
'The one's your mother tells me to turn down when I'm drunk, unless she's drunk and wants a dance' meant Heavy Metal.
'The one's I hear everyday at least once, no wait... twice, no wait...' meant as an exceptional case, Led Zeppelin, who were in fact quickly becoming a seperate genre all by themselves.
'The weird one's your mother likes...except Rush, Rush is fine...' meant Prog.
'The one's you like, that's bloody good, what is it they're called again?' meant Grunge.
'The rest' meant Hard Rock.
And finally, 'that one up there, the dusty one, what the hell is that anyway?', was infact the Vangelis Greatest Hits vinyl which I eventually discovered at the age of 14.
So, yes, there is a difference.

Alternative Names
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a procedure to create new connections between two blood vessels in your liver. You may need this procedure if you have severe liver problems.
This is not a surgical procedure. It is done by a radiologist using
You will be asked to lie on your back. You will be connected to monitors that will check your heart rate and blood pressure.
You will probably receive local anesthesia and medicine to relax you. This will make you pain-free and sleepy. Or, you may have
Your radiologist will insert a catheter (a flexible tube) through your skin into a vein in your neck.
- On the end of the catheter is a balloon and a metal mesh stent (tube).
- Using x-ray equipment, your radiologist will guide the catheter into a vein in your liver.
- The balloon will be blown up to place the stent. You may feel a little pain when this happens.
- Your radiologist will use the stent to connect your portal vein to one of your hepatic veins.
- At the end of the procedure, your portal vein pressure will be measured to make sure it has gone down.
- After the procedure, a small bandage is placed over the neck area. There are usually no stitches.
- The procedure takes about 60 - 90 minutes to complete.
This new pathway will allow blood to flow better. It will ease pressure on the veins of your stomach, esophagus, intestines, and liver.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Normally, blood coming from your esophagus, stomach, and intestines first flows through the liver. When your liver has a lot of damage and there are blockages, blood cannot flow through it very easily. This is called portal hypertension (increased pressure and backupof the portal vein). The veins can then break open (rupture), causing serious bleeding.
Common causes of portal hypertension are:
- Alcohol abuse
- Blood clots in a vein that flows from the liver to the heart
- Too much iron in the liver (
- Viral hepatitis (
hepatitis Bor hepatitis C)
When portal hypertension occurs, you may have:
- Bleeding from veins of the stomach, esophagus, or intestines (
variceal bleeding)
- Buildup of fluid in the belly (
- Buildup of fluid in the chest (hydrothorax)
This procedure allows your blood to flow better in your liver, stomach, esophagus, and intestines, and then back to your heart.
Possible riskswith this procedure are:
- Damage to blood vessels
- Fever
Hepatic encephalopathy(a disorder that affects concentration, mental function, and memory, and may lead to coma)
- Infection, bruising, or
- Reactions to medicines or the contrast dye
- Stiffness, bruising, or soreness in the neck
Rare risks are:
- Bleeding in the belly
- Blockage in the stent
- Cutting of blood vessels in the liver
- Heart problems or abnormal heart rhythms
- Infection of the stent
Before the Procedure
Your doctor may ask you to have these tests:
- Blood tests (
complete blood count, electrolytes, and kidney tests) Chest x-rayor EKG
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
- If you are or could be pregnant
- Any drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription (your doctor may ask you to stop taking blood thinners like aspirin, heparin, or warfarin a few days before the procedure)
On the day of your procedure:
- Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before the procedure.
- Ask your doctor which medications you should still take on the day of the procedure. Take these drugs with a small sip of water.
- Take a shower the night before or the morning of the procedure.
- Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
- You should plan to stay overnight at the hospital.
After the Procedure
After the procedure, you will recover in your hospital room. You will be monitored for bleeding. You will have to keep your head raised.
There is usually no pain after the procedure.
You will be able to go home when you feel better. This may be the day after the procedure.
Many people get back to their everyday activities in 7 to 10 days.
Your doctor will probably do an ultrasound afterthe procedureto make sure the stent is working correctly.
You will be asked to have a repeat ultrasound in a few weeks to make sure that the TIPS procedure is working.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Your radiologist can tell you right away how well the procedure worked. Most patients recover well.
TIPS works in about 80% - 90% of portal hypertension cases.
The procedure is much safer than surgery and does not involve any cutting or stitches.

In the United Kingdom, there is a new example of that country's sometimes surprising limitations on free speech.
The UK Attorney General is warning people that they might be held in criminal contempt for using social media to discuss the 1989 Hillsborough soccer tragedy. That disaster resulted in 96 deaths when people were crushed in an overcrowded stadium to watch a match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
The notice reads:
Editors, publishers and social media users should note that the inquest proceedings are currently active for the purpose of the Contempt of Court Act 1981.
The Attorney General wishes to draw attention to the risk of publishing material, including online, which could create a substantial risk that the course of justice in the inquests may be seriously impeded or prejudiced, particularly as this inquest involves a jury.
This risk could arise by commentary which may prejudge issues that witnesses may give evidence about, or matters that the jury will need to consider in reaching their verdict. The inquests could also be prejudiced by publishing details of material (whatever its source) which may not form part of the evidence at the inquest.
The Attorney General's Office will be monitoring the coverage of these proceedings.
This spring marks the 25th anniversary of the disaster, so naturally people want to talk about it. But just at this moment, the British government squelched discussion with heavy-handed criminal laws. That seems extremely regrettable to me.
An ESPN documentary on the tragedy is currently banned from being distributed in the UK. The director told Sports Illustrated:
Because the new inquest has started just two weeks ago, it can't be shown in the UK until the jury delivers its verdict. Which is a year from now. I really want it to be shown now. You want it to have the impact now, but you can't. It's as simple as that.
Of course, the conversation a year from now will be a different one than could be had now. So it's not just delaying speech, it is destroying speech.
Previously I've discussed how in the UK using social media can quite easily subject someone to possible jail time or draconian civil liability.
And here's another example of the UK banning speech related to soccer:

OpenXava 4.2.3 released
NaviOX 2012v2 released
September 25, 2012
NaviOX is the add-on for adding security and navigation to your OpenXava applications. A new version of NaviOX has been released recently. This version includes an all new look & feel, a new LITE free edition, a year of support for the Professional edition and a free royalty license.
Go to the NaviOX page to try the on-line demo or to download and try it in your own OpenXava applications.
The new look & feel
The first NaviOX version used the Liferay 5.1 style, but given that NaviOX is a container for OpenXava applications (just like Liferay but lighter), it deserves its own look & feel. NaviOX now looks like NaviOX and not like Liferay.
The new NaviOX style uses CSS3, so it has beautiful shadows and rounded corners without using images or javascript. The new style is very lightweight. The earlier style (from Liferay 5.1) used a 3,000 lines CSS file and a 10,000 lines javascript file, while the new style is a single 500 lines CSS file. The new NaviOX looks nice and fast in the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, iPad and even Internet Explorer, though in IE9 the look is not so great, but good enough.
Now, we'll show you some screenshots. First, the list of modules:
The list mode:
A detail mode with sections and groups:
A dialog:
You should try the on-line demo (user: test, password: test) to see the new NaviOX style by yourself.
A free edition, a royalty free license and more
Though we have offered NaviOX for free until now, because it was beta, really there was not a FREE edition, the Standard edition costs €99. For this new version of NaviOX we have renamed NaviOX Standard as NaviOX LITE and we have made it free.
Additionally, now the Professional edition includes a year support, so far the support was included in the Enterprise edition only.
The more important thing is that NaviOX now has a formal license (that you can read in naviox-license.txt from the NaviOX bundle). This license allows you to use NaviOX to develop unlimited applications, for unlimited users in unlimited deployments, that is, it's a royalty free license. You only have to pay for each developer that uses NaviOX. This license applies to LITE edition too, therefore you can use include it in your commercial applications for free. However, you cannot decompile or modify NaviOX in LITE and Professional edition, but you can modify Enterprise edition that includes the complete source code.

Undercover Cop Poses As A High School Student For 8 Months And Busts 12 Students!
An undercover police officer who posed as a California high school student for eight months has led to the arrest of 12 students on drug related charges. The students aged 15 to 19 of Exeter Union High School were arrested after the 22-year-old officer who went by the name of 'Johnny Ramirez' infiltrated their alleged drug ring. The school was put on a 90-minute lockdown Wednesday afternoon while the arrests were made to 11 of the accused students. 'We made the campus safer today. And for those who think they got away with something, I hope they rethink their behaviour,' Exeter Police Chief Cliff Bush told the Visalia Times-Delta. The first arrest that morning was at the home of Eli Perkins, 18, whom students accuse as being the ringleader for the drug sales. His parents were also detained for questioning.

Some days, you just have to ride. This past weekend, Performance employees David, Chris and Devlin outfitted their Scattante XRL Cross and Scattante Titanium Cross bikes with metal-studded tires (why not) and hit the trails for their "Worst Day of the Year" ride.
OK, so we have to admit that we are pretty spoiled with the weather here in North Carolina–just when you start to get tired of winter, spring is just around the corner and the flowers are starting to bloom.
But that doesn't mean that we don't get our annual dose of Old Man Winter every year (and yes, we realize that it's all relative). So when the latest winter storm blew through the area, David, Chris and Devlin threw winter tires on their cyclocross mounts and hit the trails. . . for a little winter cross.
A good time was had by all, and the only casualty was a snapped seatpost bolt, which made for an interesting ride home. Maybe it's just the novelty factor (for around these parts), but riding in the snow was a blast, and a great workout. But we're still looking forward to spring.

Performing short-circuit calculations requires an understanding of various system components and their interaction.
It's very important to understand the meaning of the term "short-circuit fault." Basically, a short-circuit fault in a power system is an abnormal condition that involves one or more phases unintentionally coming in contact with ground or each other. Thus, short-circuit protection is necessary to protect personnel and apparatus from the destructive effects of the resulting excessive current flow, which is caused by the relatively low impedance of the short-circuit fault connection.
To provide the required protection, we must determine the extent of short-circuit current at various points of our power distribution system. This determination requires a calculation.
In Part one of this three-part series, we'll discuss specific parameters needed to perform short-circuit calculations of industrial and commercial power systems according to the ANSI/IEEE 141 standard, Recommended Practice for Electric Power Distribution for Industrial Plants (Red Book).
Sources of fault current
Where does fault current come from? Basically, it comes from rotating electric machinery, usually in the form of synchronous generators, synchronous motors and condensers, induction machines, and electric utility systems. The magnitude of fault current from these sources is limited by the impedance of the machine itself as well as the impedance between the machine and the fault itself.
Because a synchronous generator has a prime mover and an externally excited field, its fault current will continue unless interrupted by some switching means.
Synchronous motors and condensers supply current to a fault in much the same way as synchronous generators; however, their fault current diminishes as their magnetic fields decay. Induction motor fault current is generated by inertia that is driving the motor in the presence of a field flux, which is produced by induction from the motor's stator.
The basics
A balanced 3-phase fault implies that all three phases of the power system are simultaneously short-circuited to each other through a direct or "bolted" connection. Although the probability of this happening is small, relative to the probability of other types of unbalanced faults occurring (e.g., phase-to-ground and phase-to-phase faults), we nevertheless use a balanced 3-phase fault for a short-circuit study for the following reasons.
* Often, a 3-phase fault produces the largest short-circuit current magnitude; thus, this worst-case result is then used as the basis to select the short-circuit capabilities of switchgear from manufacturers' tables.
* Short-circuit calculations are simplest for a balanced 3-phase fault because symmetry of the fault connection permits us to consider only one of the three phases.
The other types of unbalanced short-circuit faults are important in selecting the time-current characteristics and settings of phase-overcurrent and ground-fault protective devices to provide selective coordination. This coordination assures service continuity and minimizes damage to switchgear and load equipment. However, unbalanced fault calculations are more difficult to perform for industrial and commercial power systems and require a knowledge of the method of symmetrical components.
Symmetrical RMS current versus short-circuit duty
In Fig. 1, we see a 3-phase synchronous generator, previously unloaded, that has been subjected to a balanced, 3-phase fault across its accessible terminals. In general, an asymmetrical short-circuit current waveform is produced by a balanced, 3-phase fault.
Fig. 2 shows a typical asymmetrical short-circuit waveform (bottom) for one phase of the 3-phase synchronous generator. The diagram also shows that this waveform is a combination of two components: a unidirectional (DC) component (upper left waveform) and a symmetrical (AC) component (upper right waveform). The DC component approximately decays exponentially with a time constant equal to [X.sub.EQ]/[R.sub.EQ], where [X.sub.EQ] and [R.sub.EQ] are the equivalent inductive reactance and resistance at the fault location, respectively. The DC component eventually decays to zero, and the amplitude of the symmetrical AC component eventually decays to a constant amplitude in the steady-state. The sum of these two components at any time instant is equal to the total asymmetrical short-circuit current at that instant.
The root mean-square (rms) value of the asymmetrical short-circuit current waveform is the basis for the selection of the short-circuit capabilities of circuit breakers and fuses. Calculation of the precise rms value of an asymmetrical current at any time after the inception of a short-circuit may be very involved. Accurate decrement factors to account for the DC component at any time are required, as well as factors for the rate of change of the apparent reactance of the generators. This precise method may be used, if desired; however, simplified methods have evolved whereby the DC component is accounted for by simple multiplying factors. These multiplying factors convert the rms value of the symmetrical AC component (symmetrical rms current) into rms current of the asymmetrical waveform, including the DC component (asymmetrical rms current or short-circuit current duty).
Types of networks to calculate symmetrical rms current
In order to utilize AC circuit theory in calculating symmetrical rms current, three types of networks are used to represent the power system over three time intervals of the fault-on time period.
* First-cycle (momentary) network.
* Contact-parting (interrupting) network.
* Approximately 30 cycle network.
These networks only differ from one another by the assignments of constant reactances for the machines.
First-cycle (momentary) network. This network is used to calculate the first-cycle (momentary) symmetrical rms current. Here, the rotating machine sources of short-circuit current are represented, for the most part, by their subtransient reactances, according to the entries in the first column of Tables 4-1 and 4-2 of the 1993 edition of the IEEE Red Book (or Tables 24 and 25 of the 1986 edition).
Contact-parting (interrupting) network. This network is used to calculate the contact-parting (interrupting) symmetrical rms current for circuit breaker minimum contact-parting times of 1.5 to 4 cycles after the inception of the short-circuit fault. Here, the rotating machine sources of short-circuit current are represented by different constant reactances than the first-cycle (momentary) network, according to the entries in the second column of Tables 4-1 and 4-2 of the 1993 edition of the IEEE Red Book (or Tables 24 and 25 of the 1986 edition).
Approximately 30 cycle network. This network is often a minimum-source representation to investigate whether minimum short-circuit currents are sufficient to operate current-actuated relays. Minimum-source networks might apply at night or when production lines are down for any reason. Some of the source circuit breakers may be open and all motor circuits may be off. In-plant generators are represented with transient reactance or a larger reactance that is related to the magnitude of decaying generator short-circuit current at the desired calculation time.
In Part 2 (December 1995 issue), we'll use a simple example that shows the necessary steps needed to determine the appropriate reactances and resistances of the power system apparatus for the first-cycle (momentary) and contact-parting (interrupting) networks.
In Part 3 (April 1996 issue), we'll explain how to construct the networks, impose the fault connection, and use basic AC circuit theory to reduce the networks to equivalent reactance and resistance values. These equivalent reactance and resistance values can then be used to calculate symmetrical rms short-circuit currents and equivalent short-circuit [X.sub.EQ]/[R.sub.EQ] ratios.
Asymmetrical short-circuit current: A fault current whose waveform is asymmetrical to the zero axis. The peak positive current at any of the waveform loops will be greater than 1.414 times the rms symmetrical current.
Symmetrical short-circuit current: A fault-current whose waveform is symmetrical about the zero axis. In other words, the positive peak current has the same value as the negative peak current. These peak (maxium) currents are always equal to 1.414 times the rms symmetrical current.
rms current: Current which, while flowing through a given ohms resistance, will produce heat at the same rate as a DC ampere.
Reactance: An opposition to the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It is usually expressed in ohms and consists of inductive and capacitive parts.
Sub-transient reactance: The value of reactance that determines the amount of short-circuit current during the first half cycle after the fault occurs.

Sri Lanka banks on cricket to cleanse bloody image
Sri Lanka is banking on cricket to repair the damage to its blood-stained image after the brutal end to a 37-year ethnic war as it stages the biggest tournament in the nation's post-independence history.india Updated: Sep 17, 2012 11:07 IST
Sri Lanka is banking on cricket to repair the damage to its blood-stained image after the brutal end to a 37-year ethnic war as it stages the biggest tournament in the nation's post-independence history.
Since declaring an end in 2009 to a conflict that claimed up to 100,000 lives, President Mahinda Rajapakse's government has had to battle accusations that its troops killed thousands of civilians as they crushed Tamil rebels in the finale.
But as hosts of the World Twenty20, which begins Tuesday in Rajapakse's hometown of Hambantota, Sri Lanka is looking to rebrand itself as an island of sun-kissed beaches and ancient Buddhist temples rather than as a hotbed of conflict.
"The T20 World Cup programme will provide an excellent platform to endorse the new Sri Lanka brand during the next three weeks," said Nivard Cabraal, the central bank governor and a key figure in promoting Sri Lanka as a sporting destination.
"I am confident that this trend will continue in the future, and those so-called international calls for (war crimes) investigation will fade away," he told AFP.
Teams from 12 nations, including those from Australia and England -- two nations which have been highly critical of Sri Lanka's government -- are taking part in the World Twenty20, which will culminate in the final in Colombo on October 7.
It is the first time Sri Lanka has been the sole host of such a major tournament and underlines its progress since the height of the conflict between government troops and the Tamil Tigers, a group notorious for audacious suicide bombings.
In 1996, when Sri Lanka co-hosted the 50-over World Cup with India and Pakistan, Australia and the West Indies stayed away from their qualifying games on the island for fear of attacks. Sri Lanka went on to win the trophy.
It once again co-hosted last year's 50-over World Cup with India and Bangladesh, but lost the final to India in Mumbai.
Sri Lankan authorities have often turned to the cricket team as an example of ethnic unity in the face of allegations that Tamils were discriminated against by the majority Sinhalese community.
The country's most famous player, record-breaking spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, is a Tamil -- albeit often the only one in the team before he retired last year.
Tiger rebels fought for outright independence for Tamils concentrated in the island's northern and eastern regions, but they were eventually defeated in a no-holds-barred onslaught in May 2009.
The United States led a resolution against Sri Lanka at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva earlier this year and Colombo had been given another year to come up with a road map to address accountability issues.
Cabraal says economic progress in the former conflict zones are testimony to reconciliation in a country that recorded growth rates of 8.0 percent for two years running after the end of fighting.
"An enormous amount of development activity is taking place in the former conflict areas," Cabraal said.
"If there were war crimes... this type of reconciliation and progress would have never taken place."
But moderate Tamil legislator Suresh Premachandran said Sri Lanka's emerging sporting credentials did not address the grievances of his minority community.
"Some Tamil youngsters may be happy about cricket and the Twenty20 tournament, but it won't do anything to address the core issues," he told AFP, referring to Tamil demands for greater political autonomy.
Last year, Sri Lanka also narrowly lost to Australia in its bid to host the 2018 Commonwealth Games, but it is pitching for several other Asian tournaments as part of its drive to become a major sporting destination.
Charu Lata Hogg, a Sri Lanka expert at the London-based think-tank Chatham House, believes the government will struggle to turn the spotlight off its tainted record.
"Hosting an international sporting event will not deflect international attention on its core human rights responsibilities," she told AFP.
"Attention on the issue of war crimes investigations, is unlikely to cease until there is a genuine effort by the Sri Lankan state to establish accountability."
Her remarks were underscored by a top US diplomat who declared on Friday that there were "questions" about Sri Lanka's commitment to probe serious violations of human rights during the final offensive and thereafter.
"There are lot of questions now about how quickly Sri Lanka is really committed to moving ahead on these things," Assistant Secretary of State Robert Blake told reporters in Colombo.
Blake, the top US diplomat for South and Central Asia and a former ambassador to Colombo, said he had asked for "accelerated progress" in reconciliation and urged de-militarisation of former war zones as well as power sharing with the Tamils.

text: Americans with diabetes almost doubled their spending on medications for the disease in just the past 6 years, with last year's bill soaring to $12.5 billion. It's Diabetes Awareness Month. I think this year we should focus on the simple, cost-conscious dietary and lifestyle choices that can help the nearly 24 million children and adults in the United States who cope with this potentially life-threatening disease. Most people with type 2 diabetes take several different medications to control cholesterol and blood sugar, and even more patients are getting multiple prescriptions as new drugs come on the market. But as a dietitian, I know that a healthy vegan diet can help people manage their type 2 diabetes and can even reduce or eliminate the need for a multi-drug regimen. Studies have shown that a low-fat vegan diet works better than the standard diabetes diet to lower blood sugar and cholesterol, cause weight loss, and decrease the risk of diabetes complications, Most people would prefer changing what they eat to taking expensive drugs if it would improve their health. With a low-fat, vegan diet, people can take control of their health - and their wallets. Susan Levin is a staff dietitian with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

Andy Griffith Dies: Brad Paisley, Scotty McCreery + More React on Twitter
The death of Andy Griffith did not go without notice in Nashville. Over a dozen of country music's top stars tweeted a prayer on behalf of 'The Andy Griffith Show' actor's family, or simply took a moment to reflect on his influence. Griffith embodied the strong character that country fans strive for, and artists like Rodney Atkins, Chris Young, Darryl Worley, the Band Perry and Scotty McCreery were moved to pay him respect.
Perhaps no one in country music had a closer relationship to Griffith in recent years than Brad Paisley. The much-loved entertainer starred in Paisley's 2008 video for 'Waitin' on a Woman,' giving the two an opportunity to become friends. The country singer leads off this short list of moving tweets.
Andy Griffith entertained the world. He improved our lives, and I was so proud to work with him call him a friend. Love you Andy. Go rest.

Not only are paper chains fun to make but there's a lot of great math in them, too! And the
best part is, making them is super easy. All you need is colored construction paper cut into
one inch strips, clear tape, and a pen.
PreK-K Activities
Patterning: Math is made up of patterns which are often introduced in the early years through
repeating patterns activities. To create a simple repeating pattern in your paper chain,
choose two colors to work with and alternate the colors as you string the loops together.
Have your child lay out the strips in the pattern before adding them to the chain. Ask her to
predict which color to lay down next and tell you why she chose that color.
Time concepts: Young children have a hard time waiting for special events like their
birthday or an upcoming holiday. And that makes sense because time is a very abstract
concept. Paper chains are a great way to give them some concrete experiences with the
passage of time.
Have your child create a paper chain made up of the same number of loops as days to the
special event. Hang it someplace where he can easily see and touch it. Each morning, have
him remove one loop until, finally, he gets to remove the last loop on the special day.
Tying in numbers: An easy way to expose young children to numbers is to label each one of
the loops with the number '1' at the top of the loop. Each day, count the loops with your child
before having her remove that day's loop. This will help her learn the number sequence...and
get some beginning subtraction practice!
K-1 Activities
Skip counting: For kindergartners, consider making the paper chain in multiples of 10.
This will help them learn the decade names and reinforces the single-digit sequence through
counting on. For example, make the numbers 1-10 one color, 11-20 a second color, etc.
As you count the number of days left, they will learn that the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
and 9 repeat after each decade. If counting to 34 it would sound like: 10, 20, 30, 31, 32, 33,
34. (The teen numbers do not follow this pattern and are often confusing to young children.
Plenty of counting opportunities will help them solidify the "teens".)
First graders can alternate colors in groups of five. Then they can skip count by fives
when figuring out how many days remain before the big event. It, too, provides kids with
opportunities to count on. For example, if there are 17 days left, point to the numbers on the
chain as you count: five, ten, fifteen then count on by ones...sixteen, seventeen.
Even and Odd Numbers: Write numbers on a two-color repeating pattern paper chain. All
the even numbers will be one color and the odd numbers the other color. Help your child skip
count by evens then odds.

Gypsy Moths
MADISON, Wis. (AP) – State wildlife officials are planning an open house on plans to kill gypsy moth caterpillars in Governor Dodge State Park this spring. The Department of Natural Resources plans to spray the caterpillars with an insecticide from a low-flying airplane sometime between mid-May and early June. The spraying will encompass 230 acres, including beach and picnic areas. The DNR will hold an open house meeting to share information on the plan at the agency's Dodgeville service center on Thursday morning.

Edit Gruenberger
Born: June 27, 1923
Kosice, Czechoslovakia
Edit was the second of three children born to Hungarian-speaking Jewish parents in the city of Kosice in the southeastern part of Czechoslovakia known as Slovakia. She grew up a Czechoslovak citizen. As a young girl, she attended a Jewish elementary school. Her father was a tailor whose workshop was in the Gruenbergers' apartment.
1933-39: After I finished elementary school, I entered secondary school. The language of instruction was Slovak and Jews faced no discrimination until November 1938 when Hungarian troops marched into southern Slovakia. With Germany's blessing, Kosice became part of Hungary and our new Hungarian rulers introduced anti-Jewish laws. When I finished my schooling in 1939, I began working as a dressmaker with my aunt.
1940-44: I worked for my aunt until 1941 when the Hungarians interned me and my family because we were considered "aliens." In 1942 I was released and returned to work. A month after the Germans occupied Hungary in 1944, our family was ordered to assemble in a nearby brick factory. We were kept there until May when we were deported to Auschwitz along with most of the Jews of Kosice. When we arrived in Auschwitz, my mother and younger sister were sent to the gas chambers and I was selected for slave labor.
After her transfer to the Muehldorf subcamp of Dachau, Edit was liberated in Tutzing by U.S. troops on May 1, 1945 and quickly returned home. She immigrated to West Germany in 1968.
