    We recently acquired the domain www.ProfessorMac.net and Stephen can be found on Twitter under the user name "Professor Mac." He has been working on two books covering his experiences in drumming and the brain, and his pursuits in the neurosciences, hydrocephalus, and patient advocacy possible title of the DiaCeph Story. Listen to Stephen speak on YouTube in a recent local interview on group drumming and the rhythms of your brain.

    Come and enjoy our in depth Power Point Slide Show on group drumming. Please "be patient" as the Slide Shows take 10 to 20 seconds to load.

    We have now added a search page to our web site that we identify as "Professor Mac's Search Tool."

    We hold drum circle workshops and keynotes for corporate, sports, teamwork, and personal development applications with a focus on team-building and non-verbal communications. In addition, Stephen delivers keynotes on his research with the rhythms of the brain and speaks to how group drumming can be an excellent music outreach tool for at risk teens via his philanthropy proposal and "Play Rhythm be Smart" program. We partner locally in Southern California with Love2Drum and La Vida Laguna, and keep a calendar of public performance dates and community drum circles on our My Space music site.

    Listen/download Stephen's healing music song, "Evening Solstice," plus listen to him on stage and live on radio at the Mark and Brian Radio Show with his son Nicholas for KLOS Christmas Show's the "Dropping of the Ule Log." He hopes to re-record "Evening Solstice" in 2010 with saxophone and lead guitar.

    We are supporting a new bill before Congress, HR 1084 (Anna Eshoo, D, CA), that if passed, this 2008 House bill would end the practice of raising your TV's volume during television commercials, known to trigger neurological sequela and behavioral problems in persons with neurological and sensory integration disorders. In 2002, we undertook and published a very telling and related 2002 study on sound and sensory integration, that incorporated a "metronome" to evaluate the brain's response to various types of audio rhythmic patterns.

     We are working on an initiative with mobile phones & AI to improve standardization and adoption of smart phone "assistive technology" applications to aid seniors, persons with neurological disorders, and the technically challenged. We also hope this will further the availability of health applications software on mobile phones, including, our own DiaCeph Test.

    Come and view our finalized paper, "Shunt Selection Model," with brain scan images, analysis, and discussion of outcomes using our DiaCeph monitoring. This paper describes our tandem single ICP tap/DiaCeph Test protocol for monitoring of shunted and ETV-treated hydrocephalus. We have similarly updated our hydrocephalus and DiaCeph Test pages.

    We continue to update our web section on the neurological disorder, hydrocephalus, and Stephen is currently seeking funding and developers to create software code to enable the DiaCeph Test home test to run on a mobile phone platform.

    In March 2007, we submitted the DiaCeph Test to the American Electronics Association (AeA) 2007 High Tech Awards Contest.

    A new music download is available for the healing instrumental song, "Evening Solstice."

    We are hosting a free file download of the 2003 book, "William Lodge: The 19th Century Entrepreneur," written by the late W. L Dolle, Jr., the long time CEO of the Lodge & Shipley Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio.
