- Added music score- General improvements for the latest iOS version and retina devices
App Description
What happens when the lights go out?This delightful interactive book tells the story of a little kid that goes to sleep and all the night sounds come alive… but things sometimes are not what they seem. Darkness is very powerful for kids and imagination can turn a night sound into a scary animal or a menacing earthquake.
This iPhone book is great for parents that want to talk to their kids when they are afraid of the dark. This will help them deal with their fears.
"When the lights go out" features beautiful animations on every single page, sound effects and much more. The iPhone book has two different modes: READ TO ME featuring narrations in English, Spanish and Italian and I WANT TO READ that plays the sound effects without the voiceovers. Parents can read the book aloud and record their own narrations in any language so this bedtime story will be read by mom or dad.
Children can play and share with the book´s interactive features:
• RECORD a voice to replace the original voiceovers
• SHARE IMAGES allow kids to send book images by email to friends and family
• WALLPAPERS are included to add your favorite book images as iPhone background images
"When the lights go out" is an enchanting reading experience for kids of all ages.

My TomTom screwed up on a recent trip down to the Philadelphia Intl. Airport (PHL). It seems that the airport POI that came pre-installed on my One NE (with a North America map) has the PHL location listed incorrectly.
I was directed to exit off of I-95 S onto Bartram Ave. (exit 14) and then directed to turn right onto Essington Ave.; after going about 100 yards or so on Essington Ave. I was told that I had 'reached my destination'. Big problem...there is no airport there, just new car dealerships and parking lots. It's a rather desolate area too, and at night I would even consider it an area to definitely avoid!
After loading one of the airport POI's from the Factory I found that I should've exited I-95 at the HWY 291/Cargo City exit which takes you directly into the airport.
And I didn't even get to try a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich.
Live and learn!

MEDFORD, Ore. — Utility bills in Medford have a return address outside of the Rogue Valley.
Medford Public Works employees have been receiving calls about it since this summer when they began issuing its own utility billing.
"The council wanted to make some methodology changes to the way we compute bills, and our previous vendor couldn't accommodate those changes, so the city went ahead and started sending out bills on our own," said Cory Crebbin, Public Works Director.
So why is Portland on the return address?
"It's a Portland P.O. box because that was the post office that had a post office box big enough for the volume of mail that we receive. The Medford Post Office couldn't give us a P.O. box that was big enough for the utility billing," Crebbin said.
Crebbin says the city outsourced its billing and receiving work. A company called Bill Trust sends out the payments. Another company, Retail Lock Box, in Seattle, processes the payments and deposits them back to the City of Medford. Crebbin says those companies were chosen because they could handle the load.
"Another question I have had is, why didn't you hire a Medford firm to do that? And the simple answer is we put out a request for qualifications and no Medford firms responded," Crebbin said.
Crebbin says it's a method that will save the city money.
"The total that we'd be over our previous vendor is about $50,000 or $60,000," Crebbin said.
And Crebbin says it frees up public works to focus on work, instead of billing.
Other cities in the Rogue Valley do their own bill processing in house. Grants Pass, Phoenix and Ashland say city employees provide the billing and payment services.

Six players currently inside the world's top 20, including defending champion Andy Murray, have signed up for this year's Aegon Championships at Queen's Club in west London.
Also in the field is 2012 winner Marin Cilic, who came close to retaining the title 12 months ago when he reached the final only to lose in three close sets to Murray.
Cilic, now ranked No 27, is joined in the line up by Tomas Berdych (6), Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (13), Grigor Dimitrov (14), Kevin Anderson (19) and Ernests Gulbis (20).
Murray, as usual, will be the main attraction as the 26-year-old chases a fourth title at the venue in six years.
The tournament, which starts on June 9, marks the debut as a tournament director of Ross Hutchins, who replaces Chris Kermode in the post.
Hutchins said: "The entry list includes current champions such as Andy Murray, established stars like Lleyton Hewitt and exciting young talent in Grigor Dimitrov, Ernests Gulbis and Dominic Thiem, among many others.
"They will compete for a trophy that has been lifted in the Open era by Rod Laver, John McEnroe, Boris Becker and Pete Sampras. We can't wait for the tournament to get under way."

(KMOV.com) – A local restaurant is fighting back after a thief tried to break into an employee's car and tried to target others.
Video Surveillance cameras at Tucker's Place in south St. Louis County caught the incident. Manager Jon Werner put the surveillance photos on Facebook and offered to buy a steak dinner for anybody that could help identify a suspect.
The Chrysler 300 that is seen in the video is the key to identifying the suspect. The rear bumper has a dent on the driver's side, and there is another dent on the passenger side, near the tail light.
"I want them all to know that we're not going to put up with it. We're not going to tolerate it. We want to make sure these people are caught," said Werner.

KUWAIT CITY, May 15: Majority of the parliamentary members voted on the acceptance of the resignation of five MPs — Riyadh Al-Adsani, Abdulkareem Al-Kandari, Hussein Quwaian, Safat Al-Hashim and Ali Al-Rashid in a special session Thursday. National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim said that according to Article 18 of the Parliament Charter and Article 84 of the Constitution, the seats of these five MPs are now vacant; hence, the need for a by-election within two months from date of the declaration of vacancies.
He clarified the government will specify the date for the by-election. Al-Ghanim disclosed his office will send the resignation letters to the government on Sunday; hoping the by-election will be held before Ramadan, which falls in July this year, to fill the vacant seats. He added the legislature also agreed that the Parliament Office should study and respond to the MPs' reasons for resignation.
On the date of the last legislative session for the current term, Al-Ghanim explained it will not be determined before the conclusion of the by-election and oath-taking of the five new parliamentarians.
Before debating on the resignation, the speaker confirmed having a talk with some of the resigned MPs to convince them to rescind their resignation, but they all insisted on standing by their decision. MP Adel Al-Kharafi, who was assigned by the speaker to talk to MPs Hussein Quwaian and Safa Al-Hashim, revealed that Al-Hashim did not respond to his calls and messages; while Quwaian made it clear that his decision was final.
A total of 35 members voted on the acceptance of Al- Adsani's resignation and there were eight votes against it. For the resignation of Al-Kandari, 43 in favor and seven against; only 15 members out of total 49 voted against the resignation of Quwaian; 19 out of 49 against that of Al-Rashid and 11 out 48 against that of Al- Hashim.
The five resigned MPs, including the only woman in the Parliament, were not present during the session. It can be recalled that opposition MPs — Al-Adsani, Al- Kandari and Quwaian — announced their resignation two weeks ago when the Parliament rejected their request to grill HH the Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al- Mubarak over the allegation that he gave cash to some lawmakers.
Situation Four days later, Al-Rashed, who previously served as speaker of the Parliament, and Al-Hashem also resigned; claiming the situation in the country had reached a "deadlock". Other reasons cited were the violation of Article 50 of the Constitution which stipulates separation of powers between the executive and legislative authorities, inability of MPs to play their supervisory role on the government, failure to accomplish important projects, covering up corruption and corrupt persons, and the Parliament speaker's misuse of power.
This is the first mass resignation by Kuwaiti MPs since 1967 when several lawmakers quit in protest at allegations of election rigging. Kuwait is the first country in the Gulf Arab region to have a constitution and elected parliament. Before the latest row, the oilrich State had seen relative political calm for 10 months following several years of bitter disputes between the Parliament and the ruling family- controlled government.
Between mid-2006 and last year, the Parliament was dissolved six times and more than a dozen governments were formed. The opposition boycotted the last two elections in protest against the amendment of the Electoral Law.
Meanwhile, prior the voting for or against the resignation, the state minister for Cabinet Affairs was given the floor to present the official statement of the government regarding the resignation of the five MPs. He asserted the government disagrees with all the reasons mentioned in the resignation letters, such as the alleged attempt by the executive authority to prevent the use of interpellation. He pointed out that since the beginning of the Parliament, 89 interpellation requests have been submitted and 12 of which were presented during the current legislative term. He argued this is enough to disprove the aforementioned allegation.
On the purported refusal of the government to cooperate in terms of responding to parliamentary queries, the minister quoted the Parliament Office as saying that 1,020 queries were submitted this term and 833 have been answered while 54 have been postponed. In the meantime, the lawmakers had mixed reactions to the resignation of their colleagues. Some expressed their disappointment over insistence of the MPs to resign and called the government to give them more time to rethink their decision.
Others called for respecting the decision of their colleagues since the latter had insisted on resigning, so their resignation should be accepted to pave the way for the by-election. Despite these differences, majority of the lawmakers expressed disappointment over reasons for the resignation due to false accusations against other MPs and the speaker. MPAbdullah Al-Turaiji said the fourth point in the resignation letter was a clear accusation hurled at the committee tasked to investigate the multimillion deposit scandal, particularly the claim that the panel has been hiding the truth. He stressed the panel works with full transparency and he presented documents to prove this, indicating Al-Adsani was a member of the committee and he cannot deny the fact that all decisions are taken through voting.
MP Sadoun Al-Azmi alleged some of the resigned MPs were hoping for the rejection of their resignation as they still submitted letters of excuse for their absence in the parliamentary sessions. He said this only shows that these lawmakers do not want an absence in their slate which should not have been issue since they already submitted their resignation. Al-Turaiji then requested the Parliament Office to verify the allegation and the latter revealed that only two of the five resigned MPs had submitted excuse letters. MP Abdulhamid Dashti argued their colleagues have all the right to resign regardless of the reasons. He said the decision of the resigned MPs clearly indicates that they have disregarded the trust bestowed upon them by the citizens who stood in line to vote for them despite the heat and fasting during Ramadan. He disclosed he has done his part in convincing his colleagues to change their minds but his efforts were in vain.
Disagreement MP Faisal Al-Kandari wanted to remind the Kuwaiti public about the disorder and tension since the start of the current legislative term. He said the government has been bombarded with interpellations by the resigned MPs who also instigated disagreements during discussions on the GCC Security Agreement. He added these MPs cited "safeguarding corruption" as one of their reasons for resignation and he considers this an insult to the Assembly. He lamented a lot of people have been claiming to be in possession of documents proving the involvement of government figures in corruption but none of them had presented these documents to the Public Prosecution or the Assembly. Since none of these people has come forward, "this only indicates there is an agenda to dissolve the Parliament from the outside," the MP asserted. He went on to urge everyone, who claims to be in possession of such documents, to approach the Assembly and present these documents ; then watch whether or not justice will be served, for the MPs are honest men who desire nothing more than the development of the country and to end corruption.
Agreeing with the MP, the minister of foreign affairs called on anyone in possession of documents to prove allegations against members of the ruling family, except HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al- Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and HH the Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf, to submit the documents to the Public Prosecution. "If we want to safeguard the country of institutions, we must bear in mind that no one is above the law, which include the ruling family members; otherwise, we have to stop these false claims that only lead to more tension and disorder," he concluded. MP Yakoub Al-Sanei wondered why people were quiet when an interpellation was postponed indefinitely in the previous Parliament. He believes this happened because the Parliament takes a decision in such cases; not the rule of law. MP Saleh Ashour said the Parliament has no right force the MPs to participate or stay away from it. He argued that if 10 percent of the members of the Parliament are absent, this will affect its work and that of the committees. Politically speaking, a lawmaker represents his constituents; not himself, so the resigned MPs should have addressed their constituents before submitting their resignation letters, he added. Moreover, the Parliament was supposed to discuss the government's plan to diversify its sources of revenues and the national economy but it approved the request of MPs to postpone deliberations until May 20, 2014 by allocating three hours of the session to tackle these issues. The Assembly agreed to advance the date of the sessions slated for May 27 and 28 to next Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss the abovementioned issues and other items in the agenda.

In other cracker news, here's the first of what The Bitch promises will be a series of cheap shots made at the expense of the contingent of Coconut Grove gentry determined to quash plans for a Home Depot in the 'hood. Despite the determined efforts of the kick activist squad of thegrovefirst.com (letter-writing campaigns, leaflets, orange-apron clad-lawn jockeys, directives from lawyer/city-commissioner-in-waiting Marc Sarnoff), the best rise in the media these lifestyle preservationists has been able generate (until now) have been a couple of reports in the SunPost and the Miami Herald's "Neighbors" section.
Developer Andy Parrish told SunPost reporter Mitch Pellecchia that if Milam's grocery store closed, Grovers would be forced to shop at Publix in Coral Gables or Winn Dixie in Key Biscayne. God, not that! (You surely wouldn't expect them to take Metrobus 48, the route housekeepers take back and forth between Hialeah Gardens and Key Biscayne.)
Terror Level Alert: Orange/High
During the crush of pre-Christmas travel, The Bitch had the good fortune to encounter one of her favorite head-busting scullers, Miami Police Chief John Timoney, at Miami International Airport. Timoney didn't try to badge his way past the cadre of highly motivated, supremely honest screeners, but after he dutifully slipped off his loafers and put his carry-ons on the conveyor belt with the rest of the hoi polloi, TSA workers pulled his bags and rummaged through them for a good ten minutes. Timoney stood off to the side, watching the slow-motion search, his face gradually assuming an unhealthy vermillion hue.
"They're not going to find anything, are they, chief?" prodded The Bitch.
"I don't fucking.... It's just.... Unbelievable. UN-believable," sputtered the gruff cop.
Timoney eventually flung himself in a chair, arms crossed high on his chest like Jaime Pressly being Punk'd, his face cycling through various shades of scarlet. When he noticed three or four people taking in the scene, he composed himself. By the time he got his bags back he had regained his sense of humor as well. "I'm just glad they didn't strip-search me," Timoney said.
Deleted from the DiLido
Edison Farrow, the promoter who runs the Website sobesocialclub.com, complains to The Bitch that his Surreal Sundays parties at the Ritz-Carlton's DiLido Beach Club were given the boot because the event was attracting a predominantly gay crowd. Farrow says he can't get a straight answer from the South Beach hotel about why its only regularly scheduled party, which began in November and immediately brought out hundreds of flash-with-cash men, was dumped this past December.
Ritz-Carlton workers, though slippery, insist the reality about Surreal Sundays is that it had to stop to allow the DiLido a makeover. A December 2 letter to Farrow from hotel manager Liam Doyle refers to the approval of "an outstanding contract our resort had with an outside vendor for the DiLido Beach Club," adding: "Upon completion of the space we will then look at all parties and events and see if they are still viable."
Michelle Payer, the chain's regional director of communications, says, "First and foremost, Ritz-Carlton welcomes all guests. We certainly look forward to welcoming all the Surreal Sunday guests at this new venue when it is finished." Payer wouldn't exactly say if the DiLido will close completely during the renovation, or whatever this project is: "I believe there will be some reconcepting done with new décor and light remodeling of the space."
English? Patience
The Bitch often visits the Sagamore's art library -- a little jewel box of a room open to the Miami Beach-going public. During such an excursion The Bitch heard the hotel's long-awaited restaurant will open this month as a high-powered tapas place. The bigger bit is the identity of the chef: Todd English. English's Massachusetts restaurant Olives is acclaimed. He also runs a few Figs, has written three cookbooks, was named Best Restaurateur by Bon Appetit, and was recognized as one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People." English will work hands-on in the kitchen during the restaurant's salad days.
Vasari 2005
Not to be outmaneuvered in Miami's newest journalistic subgenre, "sucking up to the Rubell and Margulies families," the winter issue of Lincoln Road Magazine offers profiles of the art collectors plus some pointers for beginners. "The Ins and Outs of Starting Your Own Art Collection" article offers sage advice, such as learning about art by visiting museums, which is where you'll find the painting that accompanies the story. Identified by LRM as "The Maids of Honour," the canvas is known to the rest of the word as Las Meninas (a Portuguese term that refers to the attendants of the Infanta Margarita, shown at her side in the painting, which depicts, on one level, life in the Spanish court of King Philip IV). Created in 1656 by Diego Velázquez, it is considered by many art historians to be the greatest painting in the world.

Jolly Roger Logo
Hey everyone, I'm lookin for some help with the logo of my new site The Jolly Roger
This is the temporoary logo I'm using right now, Since I'm not the greatest with painting software, I was wondering if any of the skilled painters on here could whip something up for me, your welcome to but your name in the corner and I will be sure to give you credit for it on the site... I just started it so its a little small right now, but hopefully it will continue to grow! The only things I would like is some reference to the pirates flag since the name of the site is the jolly roger. Also I would prefer to not use the official pirates logo as i know some sites have been shut down due to using copyrighted logos Thanks for the help Dan |

Mercurial Bats & Beyond
Mercury is now in the shadowzone of the next retrograde…meaning it's reached the degree it will retro back to.
BUT the need-to-know is this: it's officially retro-bats from November 24 until December 14. Put that in your diary. Ideally, don't sign contracts then. You know the deal.
It's all going to be in the sign of Saggo so cue the Rad Candor, wander-lust, Freudian Slips and inability to handle, you know, constrictions.
But guess what?
It's going to be at odds with the Mars in Virgo Desk Warrior/Fitness Regime/Spreadsheet Nirvana vibe.
Oh and it's Eclipse Season starting as well.
Remember, i said a little while ago that Sept-Oct-Nov was like this heavenly hiatus of astro-calm, smooth skies etc?
But that then we were fully into some cathartic, growth-passage type astro-weirding?
This is the sort of thing i was thinking about. Obviously, i am taking the Eclipses, Zap Zone (Uranus sq Pluto), Mercury-Mars bingle etc into account in the Horoscopes. Hence the intensified tone that you may have noticed of late.
Back to Mercury Retro-Bats: the candid atmosphere in and of itself is a good thing – I'm loving the lucidity. Mercury is going to remain in Sagg till basically mid-Jan so we may as well get used to it. And then my plan for calibrating the Mercury in Sagg with Mars in Virgo is to get health-digestion obsessive. Well, at least it's a plan, right?
Mercury-Mars-Eclipse-Uranus Direct in December etc will make for a very interesting December, geopolitics wise.
For how best to manifest it for you? See your horoscopes and please remember to read your Rising Sign + Sun Sign. If you don't know it, email me and i tell you how to work it out.

On April 24-27, 2012, the Cultural Property Advisory Committee at the U.S. Department of State will meet to review a proposal to renew the bilateral agreement with Guatemala that has been in place since 1997 and that is set to expire in September 2012.
We urge everyone who cares about this issue, and particularly people who can speak from experience, to attend the hearing and present testimony or send a letter in support of the renewal of the bilateral agreement. Whether you're a student, a volunteer on an archaeological dig, a professional archaeologist, we urge you to get involved and write to CPAC addressing the four determinations (found under Section 303(a) of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act) summarized here. Submit your statement no later than April 3, 2012, 11:59 p.m. (EDT) using the instructions found at this link.
Guatemala and the US's collaboration to stem the looting problem began in 1991. Facing a flood of looted and smuggled Guatemalan artifacts, the U.S. took emergency action to restrict the flow of illegally excavated archaeological items. In September of 1997, Guatemala and the U.S. went one important step further, and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that restricted imports of pre-Columbian archaeological artifacts from throughout Guatemala. The MOU was renewed in 2002 and again in 2007.
Read more about bilateral agreements here and read a letter supporting renewal of the Agreement from Clemency Coggins here.
Here's why…

Thought i'd sign up as i did when i had my (stupid) Vauxhall corsa, which in all fairness was my first car. Lately i have been searching around for my 2nd car as i'm now 18 and want a bit more power. In the past few months i have started to take a fancy to Fiesta's, i've been deciding on the Mk7 S1600 which i really do like, but being 18 the insurance was like 3,000.

I'm really looking forward to Christmas preparations this year. Emma is getting super excited at any glimpse of tinsel and has already requested a pony!! I'm hoping by making gifts and treats together she can start learning that Christmas is not just about opening presents, but about generosity and giving. We had a fun time making these Santa shaped cookies, and she did lots of the actual making herself.
There was a mini debate at home over nomenclature. Are they cookies or biscuits? Well it depends where you are from, but no matter what you call them, they're super cute, tasty and fun to make.

There will be no real "shareholder spring" until influential investors like the Gates Foundation, endowment funds like Harvard and Yale, and the world's biggest index funds begin engaging with investees on governance issues, according to Bob Monks, one of world's best known corporate governance advocates. Monks was speaking during last Thursday's ESG Europe 2012 conference in Amsterdam that was organised by Responsible Investor (RI).
In an interview with Hugh Wheelan, Managing Editor at RI, Monks said: "If we represent the whole spectrum of ownership, we can require that our agenda be listened to. But as long as there are serious omissions, it will be very difficult to gain the legitimacy to require companies to change." Regarding the omissions, Monks said they were corporate pension funds that did not "fulfil their legal obligation as trustees" as well as mutual funds and foundations whose names were associated with leadership and respect, but who were doing little or nothing on corporate governance: "The Gates Foundation is spending billions of dollars trying to solve problems. Why can't they join us and be doubly effective?" he said. Asked if he had an explanation, Monks said: "The fact of the matter is that many people in fine places don't like confrontation. They got it made and they don't want to make waves."
Monks also called for an end to non-binding shareholder votes. He said: "We become very proud of ourselves when resolutions are passed to separate the chairman from the board as was done at Exxon, or a majority vote against unjustified executive pay as happened at Citigroup. But these votes are only in advisory in nature. We have to move from a world where we ask for things to a world where we actually change things (with the votes)."
At the conference, Monks said more engagement among institutional investors would ensure better stock performance and, hence, restore "the credibility of common stock as a competitive investment." He noted, for example, that because shareholders had not held firms to account in the last 15 years, a US government bond had outperformed the S&P 500. In the early 1980s, Monks founded the proxy voting firm Institutional Investor Services (ISS). In 1991, he co-founded Lens Asset Management that sought to improve the performance of the firms it invested in through engagement on governance issues. He currently sits on the board of GMI Ratings, the ESG and financial research company.

Airway Disorders Center
For Referring Providers
To Refer A Patient Please Call:
Dr. Marshall Smith
Dr. Mark Elstad
We look forward to providing you with an array of airway services and working closely with your practice. For additional questions or further consultation please call: 801-587-3549.
About our clinic:
The Airways Disorders Center at University of Utah Hospital offers a novel multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation and treatment of airway diseases. Comprehensive care for patients with benign and malignant diseases of the central airways from the pharynx and larynx through the large airways within the chest is offered, including a complete range of open and endoscopic surgical approaches in the management of airway obstruction. The center resulted from a longstanding informal collaboration between two airway management specialists, Marshall Smith, MD, associate professor of otolaryngology/head and neck surgery, and Mark Elstad, MD, professor of internal medicine, pulmonary division. The complementary skills of a laryngologist and an interventional pulmonologist are ideally suited to the management of complex airway disorders. Other specialists that participate in the care of these patients include: cardiothoracic surgery, hematology/oncology, radiology oncology, radiology, rheumatology, sleep medicine, gastroenterology, pulmonary rehabilitation, and speech pathology.
Spectrum of diseases we treat.
Patients with all forms of malignant and benign central airway diseases are treated at the center. The central airways include the larynx, trachea, and intrathoracic airways that are accessible via the bronchoscope. Primary and metastatic malignancies are treated with both curative and palliative modalities. Benign stenoses include those caused by trauma (intubation, tracheotomy), systemic diseases (Wegener's granulomatosis, amyloidosis, papillomatosis), and thermal injury. Idiopathic subglottic stenosis and other disorders of unknown cause are seen. Patients with tracheotomy and difficult airway problems are commonly seen, as efforts are made to decannulate the tracheotomy.
The team approach to evaluation and management allows for flexibility in treatment, ranging from endoscopic to open procedures. Center visits usually involve the patient undergoing flexible laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy to examine the airway lesion. A technique used by Smith and Elstad allows for larynx, trachea, and bronchi to be examined with the patient awake and unsedated, using only topical anesthesia.
Open surgical approaches include operations such as laryngotracheoplasty, tracheal and cricotracheal resection, tracheotomy (temporary or permanent), and a variety of operations to improve laryngeal function. Endoscopic surgeries are performed using suspension laryngoscopy and rigid or flexible broncoscopy. These are routinely combined with dilatation, laser resection, stenting, intraluminal radiation (brachytherapy), photodynamic therapy, and other interventions. Typically, more than one approach may be used for theses diseases. The patient's general health, lifestyle, and personal preferences are carefully considered in recommendations regarding surgical approaches. Non-surgical approaches to the management of central airway disorders, such as pulmonary rehabilitation and voice therapy, play an important role in improving the quality of life for such patients.
The University of Utah physicians have active research projects, both in the center and in the basic science laboratory. Clinical studies in the Airway Disorder Center are ongoing to determine the effect of topical mitomycin c on recurrence of airway stenosis, to determine the mechanisms for dyspnea in patients with airway obstruction, and to objectively compare the outcome of different surgical approaches. Thus, the center represents the clinical arm of a bench-to-bedside program. Theses physicians are dedicated to the development of new therapies and improvement in application to old ones.

Everyday Extension
When you purchase a bottle of soda or juice, do you look to see how many servings it has before consuming the entire bottle? When you grab a bag of chips do you look to see how much sodium it has before you have it for a snack? Sometimes even food products that appear to be healthy can be deceiving.
If you are interested in health, all the information you need to make wise choices is on the food label. Nutrition Facts labels have been on food products since 1994. During February, American Heart Month, pause and read Nutrition Facts labels as you make choices.
Try this activity to better understand food labels. It's even a great way to teach your children how to make healthy purchases. You will need a food package and a plate, bowl or measuring cup:
1. Find the Nutrition Facts panel on the package. You'll see the serving size in household measures (such as cups) and weight in grams. You also will note the number of servings per container. Sometimes the serving size is less than you may think. For example, 1 ounce (28 grams) of crackers (six crackers) is a common serving size. Measure or count out a serving of your food. Everything else on the label refers to that amount of food.
2. Determine the number of calories. The amount indicated is not the amount for the entire container. The serving in front of you has that many calories. Note the calories from fat. In my cracker example, 40 of the 120 calories per six crackers come from fat.
3. Notice the first group of nutrients, which are fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol and sodium. Try to limit these nutrients. Too much of these can increase your risk for heart disease, cancer and/or high blood pressure.
4. Note the column heading "Percent Daily Value" (abbreviated %DV). If the food in front of you has 20 percent or more of any particular nutrient, it is considered "high" in that nutrient. If it has five percent or less, it is considered "low" in that nutrient.
5. Compare the amount of dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, and the minerals, calcium and iron. We need to get enough of these nutrients, but, unfortunately, many Americans shortchange themselves. These nutrients also carry a "percent daily value." Try to reach 100 percent of what you need.
6. Notice the "footnote" at the bottom of the label. This gives the goal amounts determined by public health experts.
Here's a tasty snack with heart-healthy soluble fiber from beans. Read the labels on the ingredients when you choose them at the store.
Chili Bean Dip
1 16-ounce can pinto
beans, drained and rinsed
2 Tbsp. chopped onion
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 c. finely shredded cheddar cheese
Mash beans in a bowl or use a food processor. Add onion, chili powder and the cheese, reserving a bit of cheese to sprinkle on top. Place in a microwave-safe container. Warm the mixture in a microwave oven for 30-second intervals until cheese is melted. Serve with raw vegetables, whole-grain crackers or baked tortilla chips.
Makes about eight servings. Each serving has 80 calories, 3 grams (g) of fat, 10 g of carbohydrate and 2 g of fiber.
Please contact me with any questions at 254-4811 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hey dotTechies,
I have gone through roughly three mice in the past three years. Each time the issue is the same: after roughly a year of use, the mouse starts doing double-clicks when I click on something instead of the normal single-click. All three mice have been those cheap $10 ones (because I've never been one to spend $50 on a mouse that I don't need) and I've always wondered why people spend so much money on mice. Now I know why.
My question is: does anyone know of a cheap but good and durable mouse, preferably one that doesn't start double-clicking after a few months of use? When I say "cheap", I mean relative to durability. I am more than willing to spend $20-30 on a mouse that doesn't break after a few months of use. So, please, share your thoughts in the comments below regarding mice suggestions.
Thank you!
-Mr. Boss

Just face it.
Nowadays most mouses will broke up in a year or a couple (if you're lucky). It's called Planned Obsolescence.From 90's to 2009 I've only had 2 mouses. And I've bought the second one because my (by then) new motherboard didn't recognize my old SERIAL connector mouse back in 2001. The second one was a cheap DEXXA OPTICAL MOUSE ( http://es-img1.ciao.com/ies/images/products/normal/594/product-344594.jpg ) that I've found in a store discount for just 7 EUR ($9), and that mouse worked perfectly until 2009, with the double-click problem .
Since then I had one mouse per year :\ .. And I bought all types of mouses. Cheap, expensive, gaming, office,,.. all of them rise the double click problem after a year.
I surrender. I just assume that every year I had to change my mouse. -_-
I believe you may have found the only bad LogiTech mouse. Congratulations is in order, I think.
I have three USB/Logitech mouse(s) … Two are different style trackballs. I have used each of them for many many years – the one I use most, and sitting here beside me, over ten years, and is a four-button (and another is a five) with nifty programming available (I usually have one button set to send CTRL-Z)
I do not ever, ever recall one doing a double-click when I was not asking that.
I believe that I answered some months ago, a dottechie question about double clicking: this is a "normal" situation for all switches(like buttons). Most electronic devices where timing is critical have built in "debounce" circuitry. I have seen utilities somewhere or another which accomplish this "debounce" (eg.:""Ignore any signals on/off from this device if it changes state in under 20 microseconds"") for mouse applications. I suspect that my logitech drivers have that built in. It would be a worthwhile item for you to root around for and obtain if you are having bounce problems.
I prefer a large mouse, that form a good backstop against the palm of the hand, and no movement forwards and backwards between palm and finger. This has let me to ignore many a mouse that otherwise seems good.
The following fits the bill :
For wired mouse : Genius Wired Optical / Laser (Sorry, forget the model name, but it's distinctive looking, with the left side raised quite a bit, eliminating hand cramp).
As for wireless mouse : Here the search takes longer, since obviously the range available not as large as with wired mice, but nevertheless : I've only found one brand (relatively cheap) with a large enough size , and the right shape (actually they come in 3 shapes, I take the largest) :
Prestigio Wireless Laser
I've had it for more than 3 years, best mouse I've ever used.
[@Mags] Again a PS to my above comment. (Ashraf, I really need the edit function back.)
As for batteries, I've never had an issue with batteries draining quickly. Doesn't matter whether they are the cheap ones or expensive ones.
BTW, I don't always remember to turn off the batteries when not in use, and I've found that it really doesn't make much of a difference in battery life when using a mouse.
[@mukhi] I have to agree with you on this. Ashraf needs to stop the hatred for those bad mouses/mice (LOL.)
Anyway, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. A cheap mouse just ain't gonna cut it!
As for your wireless problem. There was a time when I didn't want a wireless mouse as they really didn't work that well. However, that is in the past and the technology has improved. A wireless mouse these days is far superior than what they were in the past.
Just give someone else's wireless mouse a try before you buy.
And again look for the sales/bargains. But for heavens sake don't buy a refurbished one. You never know what was wrong in the first place and was it properly fixed. I've heard far to many complaints from others who have purchased refurbished technology and regretted it big time.
[@Ashraf] you need to stop hatred for wireless mouse as well as no-excitement for logitech since i am telling you a great solution. buy something like M510 (as Teejerman suggested), buy rechargeable eneloop (huge standby time) batteries, and keep the mouse turned off when not in use; and you are good to go. i have kicked myself enough for not doing this so far (planned before i purchased the hell of a sony BT mouse).
Been using a Logitech M510 wireless (laser) mouse for over 2 years without a single problem. It works on virtually any surface and can be paired with several devices. Firmware updates available, and although normally priced between $34.99 – $39.99 from most retailers (online or not), it's available online at Amazon and BestBuy for $24.99. Uses 2 AA batteries that can be changed in less than 60 seconds (sliding cover) and need to be changed once to twice a year as long as the sliding power switch (on the bottom) is turned off when not in use. Really great mouse/features IMHO.
I think you already have your answer, I only use Logitech or Microsoft mouses since ever. They are very very durable. And the most important thing : MUST BE WIRELESS, with those small dongles that I never take out of my Laptop's USB port, and must have an on/off button to save batteries when not in use. -
i have spent $90 for a damn sony BT mouse, and it disconnects in win7pro64 time to time, the same story goes for $10 BT mouse; will never buy BT mouse again. medium expensive wireless USB mouses are the best, IMO.
Joe Hone
$13 Gear Head wireless mouse at Big Lots. I've been using mine for hours every day for over a year, no issues. I bought one for a family member in September, no issues with that one either.
Seamus McSeamus
I have large hands, and the most comfortable mouse I've found is the MS Wireless 5000. It fits my hand perfectly, and although a bit pricey (around $70 when I bought it several years ago) I would buy another one as a replacement.
As for inexpensive, there are some nice Logitechs for under $30. Before I found the MS mouse I use now, I only used Logitech.
oh and one more thing, i'm always on the lookout for a good mice, so I'll email you ashraf if I see one in the near future
Wow! I'm blown away by all of the Logitech fans! Well, add me to it: For the past two years, I've been using a Logitech M-BZ96C (810-000207) optical mouse. Still works great!
Further to my comments #3 & 4, I didn't mention, like the others, what model mine is. It is an LX7, Logitech doesn't even make it anymore,.
Henry Wood
I've been using an A4 Tech OP-620D mouse for the last four years and it's never let me down nor shown any signs of weakness. Perhaps this is because it has the A4 Tech "Double Click" button situated alongside the mousewheel and perhaps this saves somewhat on left button clicks? (It also helps with old, arthritic fingers and thumbs.)
Logitech Performance Mouse MX
Logitech Marathon Mouse M705
like mentioned above, hold out if you can. Maybe buy a really cheap mouse as a temp. filler or something. This was maybe last year, but I got my marathon mouse for ~$10-15 at staples… I also got a bunch of logitech notebook mice (like m525) for pennies but that's another story
Logitech M510 Wireless Laser Mouse
you can get these for ~$18 bucks on ebay i think -
I use a mouse of Medion since 2005 (the PC of Medion too), but :
– i probably don't click as much as you;
– i don't know if this brand is known in your country;
– I don't put it in my mouth when I'm pissed (lol). -
My first optical mouse was a Microsoft, was quite large but lasted me about 8 years and cost about £24/$36. My second and the one I still use is again Microsoft optical but much smaller and that was only around £6/$10 both from Amazon. The second one I've had for about 2 years and is still very good. I use it a lot to play games and am very pleased with it. Give it a try…
I use a Logitech trackball at home and at work. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/trackman-marble?crid=399&osid=14&bit=64
Response is great, cleaning it is easy and it doesn't require a lot of space. Better for my wrist, too. -
I've been very happy with the Logitech wireless keyboard + mouse combination too. I've had two sets of them over the past 10 years and they are rugged. There are lots of sales on these type of products too.
Rob (Down Under)
Logitech now sell wireless keyboard + mouse combination.
In Australia they are priced between $23 to $28
I have 3 sets for different PCs (Avoids me having to move the USB dongle).
I love them. -
I have always been a fan of Logitech. From serial mice to PS/2 to USB. Even the basic mice had a very good comfort level. The buttons however seems to gum up or wear out faster than other mice.
Lately I've been getting more MS mice. M100 I believe. A very basic mouse. Quite comfortable. Seems to be more durable than Logitech. The buttons are definitely more durable and the optical sensor seems to track better than Logitech mice.
I should point out all my mice are wired because I use KVM switchers.
At work, I have a Logitech M500 which I'm very happy with.
At home, I use a Logitech G500 which has more buttons, but is also more expensive.
[@Mags] P.S. to my above comment. I think the original price was somewhere around $40 to $50.
My suggestion…. watch for sales and get a more expensive mouse. I bought a Logitech wireless mouse over 6 yrs ago and it is still going strong.
I don't remember what the original price was but I bought it on sale for $10.
That was through Staples, don't know if you will find a comparable deal now, but check out your local tech shop flyers for deals. You can find most flyers on line.
I have been working for 3 years with the Dell RP962 Mouse and this mouse is very stable. A real work horse. Seach for it on amazon to find some more reviews.

Early explorers included Willem Barents, Olivier Brunel, and Henry Hudson. In 1778 Capt. James Cook saw both sides of the Bering Strait and demonstrated that Asia and North America are two separate continents. The passage was first traversed by Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld in 1878–79.

text: The New Orleans Police Department says officers quickly nabbed two suspect in an afternoon shooting near Canal Street and South Rampart. Spokeswoman Remi Braden says they were able "to chase down a gunman and his brother in connection with a shooting that happened in the Central Business District." She explained that the shooting started as a narcotics transaction. "Detectives say 24-year-old Terry Carter and his brother, 22-year-old Terrance Carter, were conducting what appeared to be a drug deal with an unidentified man at around 3:30pm in the 100-block of South Rampart Street. At one point, investigators say Terry Carter pulled out a semi-automatic pistol and shot the man once in the abdomen," according to Braden. The victim was hospitalized in critical condition. "Officers had both men in custody less than five minutes after one of them opened fire, wounding a man in his stomach," she said in a news release. "Officer Jeremy Simoneaux was in the immediate area and made it to the scene just in time to see both of the suspects fleeing on foot. He quickly broadcast a description of the suspects on his radio, and applied pressure to the victim's wound until EMS arrived." She explained how officers who heard the description, spotted the suspects and arrested them. Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas said, "I can sum up the efforts of Officers Simoneaux, Frank and Bissell today with one word: heroic. While Officer Simoneaux was doing what he could to keep a man alive, Officers Frank and Bissell chased after a gunman- who was so brazen- that he shot a man in broad daylight on a busy street.... This event could not have been handled better. This was law enforcement at its best. I want to thank all of the officers who assisted in getting these suspects apprehended, positively identified and booked. Your selfless work has made New Orleans a safer city."
