Submissions must be made online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/res and accompanied by a cover letter including the following separate sections: (1) introductory sentence with manuscript title and author names, (2) paragraph outlining (in less than five sentences) why the work described in the manuscript is important, novel and suitable for publication in Respirology, and (3) a final paragraph outlining any special notes related to word count, ethics approval, patient consent, conflict of interest , relationship with recent research submitted elsewhere for publication and copyright.
Please read the following author guidelines and use our manuscript preparation checklist before submitting your manuscript. Contributions that do not comply with the Journal's requirements will be returned to the authors for correction prior to peer review.
Manuscripts concerning research supported in whole or in part by tobacco companies and associated institutes and organisations will not be considered for publication. Authors are expected to comply with strict ethical standards and for human research, conform to the provisions of the latest update of the WMA Declaration of Helsinki. Consent must be obtained from each patient after full explanation of the purpose, nature and risks of all procedures, and the research protocol must be approved by the Institutional Review Board or a suitably constituted Human Research Ethics Committee at the institution within which the work was undertaken. For retrospective studies using patient medical records, the Institutional Review Board or Ethics Committee must approve access to patient records and patient confidentiality must be maintained. For animal studies, approval from an appropriately constituted Animal Research Ethics Committee should be obtained. Statements regarding written informed consent and ethics approval, including the Ethics or Institutional Review Board approval number, must be included in the Methods section and proof of approval must be produced upon request. If ethics committee approval was not obtained or was not required, it should be stated in the Methods section of the manuscript.
Prior to submitting their manuscript, authors must ensure that the anonymity of every patient is respected by removing any detail that may lead to identification of a patient. If there is any possibility that a patient may be identified from the data presented in the submitted text, tables, figures or supplementary information, authors must obtain consent from the patient using the Journal's Patient Consent Form and submit the completed form with their manuscript. In the circumstance that the patient is unable to provide consent (i.e. under 18, deceased, those who are unable to provide verbal or written consent, etc), authors must obtain consent from the patient's next of kin or legal representative.
Manuscripts should conform to the revised guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), published as ICMJE Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals. These guidelines and the advice of the Editorial Board, Editorial Staff , Publisher and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) will be used if matters of advice, dispute or contention arise in relation to publications and/or authors. In cases of suspected misconduct, Respirology follows COPE's flowcharts and retraction guidelines.
Respirology requires the author to submit exclusively to the journal and will not accept original contributions containing significant portions of material published or submitted for publication elsewhere except for abstracts of no more than 400 words. Any material available through PubMed, Institutional websites, Pre-Print websites or other electronically accessible sources are considered to have been published. The Editors of Respirology reserve the right to refuse such contributions.
Authors are required to declare, in the cover letter, any overlap between the submitted manuscript and any previously published works or manuscripts submitted for publication elsewhere. This includes but is not limited to overlap with abstracts, manuscripts in another language as well as those based on the same data pool. Previously published material must be appropriately acknowledged and copies of related material should be provided upon request.
Respirology employs iThenticate software to detect plagiarism and, by submitting a manuscript to this journal, the authors accept that their manuscript will be screened for overlap with previously published works. We strongly advise authors to check their own work before submission to avoid rejection on those grounds.
For more information on ethical principles of academic publishing, please refer to Wiley's 'Best Practice Guidelines on Publication Ethics: A Publisher's Perspective'.
Respirology requires that all authors disclose any potential or actual conflict of interest (financial or other), or state the absence of such conflict of interest, as part of their manuscript. Respirology requests the corresponding author to take responsibility for the declaration of any conflict of interest and authorship by completing the Journal's Conflict of Interest and Authorship Declaration form. The completed form should be submitted online with the manuscript. In case of difficulty accessing or uploading this form, please contact the Editorial Office (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Authors should also complete the Author Contribution Form and upload it with their manuscript. All persons listed as authors should qualify for authorship as defined by the ICMJE ,i.e. authorship requires- (i) substantial contributions to: the conception or design of the work, the acquisition, analysis or interpretation of data for the work; (ii) drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and (iii) final approval of the version to be published. All persons qualifying for these requirements should be listed as authors. No more than ten authors should be listed for any submission unless approved by the Editor in Chief. In addition, Respirology requires one author to act as guarantor for the study and this person is accountable for all aspects of the work and ensures that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
In exceptional circumstances, the Editor in Chief will accept equal first and last authorship and justification must be provided on the title page. There can only be one corresponding author and this person is solely responsible for (i) communicating with the journal and managing communication between co-authors; (ii) including all qualifying authors in the author list and getting their approval for submission of the manuscript and the order in which the authors are listed (iii) distributing the proofs to all co-authors and returning all proof corrections to the journal office; (iv) responding to any queries regarding the published paper.
Previously published material such as figures, tables, photographs, survey instruments and questionnaires may only be reproduced in Respirology with the specific permission of the copyright holder, which for figures, tables and photographs is usually with the publisher rather than the original author. The relevant figure legend or table caption should identify the source of the material and state that it is used with permission, and the full reference should be provided in the reference list. Please ensure that permission is obtained for both printed and electronic media dissemination.
Authors should be aware that many questionnaires or survey instruments are copyrighted, in order to maintain their integrity. The copyright conditions often require permission to be obtained from the copyright holder prior to any use of the instrument in research, and prohibit changes to the content, language and/or format of the instrument without specific permission from the copyright holder.It is the responsibility of the authors to verify whether a questionnaire or survey instrument is subject to any copyright restrictions, and to obtain written permission for its use prior to commencement of the research. Permission for use of validated instruments in research may be required by copyright holders even if the instrument has previously been published, or is available for use in clinical practice. Authors should be aware that unauthorised versions of well-known questionnaires may often be found online. If there is any doubt, the original author of the instrument should be contacted for clarification, prior to commencement of the research.
Respirology reserves the right to request written evidence that the authors obtained permission to use or reproduce any copyright material. Fees associated with the use of reproduction of copyrighted material are to be covered by the authors.
Respirology requires all clinical trials to be registered. The site of registration and the reference number must be stated at the end of the Abstract and in the Methods section of the manuscript. Respirology accepts registration in any of the primary registries of the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform or in ClinicalTrials.gov . The majority of these registries are free to register.
According to ICMJE Recommendations, clinical trials commenced after 1 July 2005 must be registered in a public trials registry prior to the enrolment of the first participant for the manuscript to be considered for publication. Since 1 July 2008, the ICMJE has adopted the WHO definition of a clinical trial as "any research study that prospectively assigns human participants or groups of humans to one or more health-related interventions to evaluate the effects on health outcomes". Health-related interventions are those used to modify a biomedical or health-related outcome, e.g. drugs, surgical procedures, devices, behavioural treatments, dietary interventions, quality improvement interventions, process-of-care changes. Health outcomes are any biomedical or health-related measures obtained in patients or participants including pharmacokinetic measures and adverse events. Purely observation studies do not require registration.
Respirology accepts retrospective registration of clinical trials commenced before 1 July 2005. Retrospective registration of clinical trials commenced after 1 July 2005 is accepted in exceptional circumstances only, and on the condition that (i) the registration process is completed before manuscript submission, and (ii) the Methods section states the registration date and reason for late registration.
Respirology does not consider results posted in the same primary clinical trials registry in which the initial registration resides as prior publication, but requires authors to disclose all posting in registries of results of the same or closely related work.
Respirology endorses the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) statement for reporting of randomized controlled trials. Manuscripts presenting clinical trial results should conform to the CONSORT statement, comply with the CONSORT checklist and include a CONSORT flow diagram as the first figure of the manuscript. Authors should also include a copy of the checklist as part of the submission and indicate which checklist items have been implemented where in the manuscript.
All contributions should be written in English and spelling should conform to the Concise Oxford English Dictionary. The Editors reserve the right to return manuscripts to the author for English language editing prior to external peer review. If necessary, Respirology may only consider the manuscript after it has been professionally edited at the author's expense. Visit http://wileyeditingservices.com to learn about the options. In addition, the Editors and Publisher reserve the right to modify typescripts of accepted manuscripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition and to improve communication between author and reader. In following this practice the scientific content and message will not be changed. In case of extensive alterations, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision and/or approval before publication.
Respirology no longer accepts the use of the eponyms 'Clara cell', 'Clara cell secretory protein' and 'Wegener's granulomatosis' and will replace these terms with 'club cell', 'club cell secretory protein' and 'granulomatosis with polyangiitis' respectively. The old eponyms will be used in parentheses until the end of 2014. Further background information about this change in terminology can be found in the following publications:
*Winkelmann A, Noack T. The Clara cell: a "Third Reich eponym"? Eur Resp J. 2010;36: 722-7.
*Falk RJ, Gross WL, Guillevin L, Hoffman G, Jayne DR, Jennette JC, Kallenberg CG, Luqmani R, Mahr AD, Matteson EL, Merkel PA, Specks U, Watts R. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's): an alternative name for Wegener's granulomatosis. Ann Rheum Dis. 2011;70: 704.
The use of abbreviations is discouraged except for standard abbreviations of units of measure. Abbreviations used must be defined in parentheses on first mention in the abstract and again in the body of the manuscript. If applicable, they must be re-defined in the figure legend or table caption. A list of used abbreviations including their definitions must be provided as part of the manuscript.
Where appropriate, all original articles should state the hypothesis that is being tested and detail the statistical method that was used.
For advice on statistical reporting, Respirology encourages authors to refer to the SAMPL guidelines: Lang T, Altman D. Basic statistical reporting for articles published in clinical medical journals: the SAMPL guidelines. In: Smart P, Maisonneuve H, Polderman A (eds.) Science Editors' Handbook, European Association of Science Editors, 2013.
Respirology uses the services of biostatisticians for the assessment of statistical methodology of selected manuscripts.
Original Articles
Respirology encourages the submission of manuscripts focusing on clinical or laboratory research in areas relevant to the practice of respiratory medicine. Original articles must not be longer than 2500 words, excluding the abstract (maximum 250 words), references (maximum 50), table and figure legends. Longer manuscripts, unless justified in the covering letter, may be returned to the authors for reduction before being considered for peer review.
Editorials and Invited Reviews
Editorials and invited reviews are generally commissioned by the Editor-in-Chief. Author guidelines, including word counts, for editorials and invited reviews will be provided by the Editorial Office at the time of invitation. Invited papers are subject to the same review process as submissions.
Unsolicited Reviews
Unsolicited review articles may occasionally be considered if they cover a relevant and timely topic of strong interest to readers of Respirology. Before submitting an unsolicited review, authors must contact the Editorial Office (email@example.com) and provide the following information for the Editor's consideration: an abstract; outline of the manuscript with subheadings and topics; need for the review; relevance to the readership of Respirology and authors' track record on the topic. Reviews submitted online without the pre-approval from the Editor-in-Chief will be returned to the author. Author guidelines, including word counts, for unsolicited reviews will be provided by the Editorial Office at the time of pre-approval.
Respirology offers authors of review articles the opportunity to submit a case report to the Open Access journal Respirology Case Reports at the same time as submitting their review article to Respirology. The complementary case report should describe a clinical case which translates the content of the review article. If accepted, the case report and review article will be published simultaneously in the respective journals and electronically linked. The case report should comply with the Author Guidelines of Respirology Case Reports and is subject to the article publication charges of Respirology Case Reports.
Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses
Systematic reviews may or may not use statistical methods (meta-analysis) to analyze and summarize the results of the included studies. Respirology has endorsed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) Statement, as described in the PRISMA Explanatory and Elaboration document. It recommends the use of its checklist and flow diagram as a guide to a systematic review with or without a meta-analysis approach (www.prisma-statement.org). Respirology requires authors to include a similar flow chart as part of the manuscript, and a copy of the checklist as part of the submission. Authors must indicate in the copy of the checklist which items have been implemented in the manuscript. Taking the time to ensure the review meets these basic reporting needs will improve the manuscript and potentially enhance its chances for eventual publication.
Authors of meta-analyses of observational studies must follow the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) reporting guidelines and checklist, and include as part of their submission a copy of the checklist indicating the items that have been implemented.
Scientific Letters
Scientific Letters are brief reports that fall within the scope of Respirology and are of particular interest to its readership, containing new but insufficient scientific data to qualify as Original Article. This may include preliminary study outcomes, audits and articles that describe new methodologies or techniques. Respirology accepts and publishes very few Scientific Letters per year, and priority is given only to studies with a very high degree of novelty and interest. Scientific Letters should contain no more than 1200 words, one figure or table, and 15 references. The use of subheadings and supplementary information is not permitted. An unstructured abstract of maximum 75 words should also be included.
Case Reports
Respirology no longer accepts the submission of case reports. Instead, case reports can be submitted to Respirology Case Reports, the official Open Access case reports journal of the Asian Pacific Society of Respirology: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)2051-3380
These are usually letters regarding articles published in Respirology. Letters must be fewer than 500 words. Author(s) of the article commented on may be invited to respond. Respirology reserves the right to accept or reject letters for publication, and may amend or extract text without misrepresenting the writer's views.
Manuscripts are to be typed double-spaced (including references, tables, figure legends and footnotes), in 12-point type, on A4 size paper with 3-cm margins at the top and the left-hand side of the pages and must be in Word (doc or docx) format only (pdf cannot be accepted and will be returned to the author for conversion). All pages should be numbered consecutively beginning with the title page. Manuscripts should contain, in this order, a title page, summary at a glance (original articles only), abstract (see requirements below for each article type), key words, short title, text of the manuscript, acknowledgements, references, tables,and figure legends. Please note that in addition to including this in the manuscript, the title, abstract, names of the authors and their affiliations, short title and key words will have to be entered upon submission of the manuscript in ScholarOne Manuscripts.
Title Page
The title page should include the title and all authors' full names, degrees and affiliations. The contact address, fax number and email for the corresponding author must also be provided. The word count for the abstract and text (without references, tables or figure legends) should also be provided on the title page.
Summary at a Glance
For Original Articles only, authors should provide a 'Summary at a Glance' that briefly states, in less than 50 words, what is being tested and what the presented study adds to the literature.
Original Articles: Concise abstract of no more than 250 words which is structured as follows: Background and objective, Methods, Results and Conclusions. The abstract should not contain references or footnotes.

Online Article not yet published in an issue
An online article that has not yet been published in an issue (therefore has no volume, issue or page numbers) can be cited by its Digital Object Identifier (DOI). The DOI will remain valid and allow an article to be tracked even after its allocation to an issue.
5 Walker J, Kelly PT, Beckert L. Airline policy for passengers requiring supplemental in-flight oxygen. Respirology 2009 doi 10.1111/j.1440-1843.2009.01521.x
Unpublished observations and personal communications should not be listed as references, but may be incorporated in the text and stated as such in parentheses. References to articles in a language other than English that do not have an English abstract should not be used.
Tables should be included in the main manuscript document (Word format), at the end of the document, with one table per page and each table accompanied by a descriptive caption at the top. Each table should be referred to in the text and numbered in the order of mention. Explanatory material should be placed in footnotes below the Table and not included in the heading. All non-standard abbreviations should be defined in the footnotes. Footnotes should be indicated by *, †, ‡, §. Statistical terms such as SD or SEM should be identified in headings. Use of the word-processing 'Table' function for creating tables is encouraged; otherwise, use only one Tab (not spaces) to separate each column in a table. Tables inserted as objects in the manuscript will not be accepted.
The number of tables should be kept to a minimum and tables presenting large collections of data should be avoided. We encourage authors to make use of online supporting information where possible.
Figure Legends
Legends should be supplied on a separate page in the manuscript file and should not appear as part of the figure files.
Each figure should be referred to in the text and numbered in the order of mention. Symbols, arrows and numbers or letters used to identify parts of illustrations should be identified and explained in the legend. The description in the legend should be sufficient for the reader to interpret the figure without reference to the text.
Figures and Electronic Art
Manuscript submissions containing figures that do not adhere to the requirements and specifications outlined in this section will be returned to the authors for corrections prior to peer review.
Each figure must be submitted as a separate file and should not be embedded in the manuscript text file. All figures must be saved in EPS or TIFF format with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. Figures should be presented at actual size to fit a single column (81 mm width), double column (169 mm width) or intermediate column (118 mm width). Each figure and figure file is to be identified clearly with the figure number.
Figures should be sharp and authors should refer to http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp for further details. Letters, numbers and symbols must be clear and legible and their size should be in scale with the figure. Use a sans serif font (preferably Arial), avoid using bold type, and use a consistent font type and size throughout all figures in the manuscript. Titles, keys and detailed explanations should be confined to legends and not included in the figures. All photomicrographs must have internal scale markers and legends must include the magnification and stain used. Photographs of persons must be retouched to make the subject unidentifiable, or be accompanied by written permission from the subject to use the photograph (see 'Patient Consent and Confidentiality' section for more information and Patient Consent Form).
Research images must not be retouched or altered in any way that may misrepresent information present in the original image. The following four basic guidelines for handling image data have been developed by The Rockefeller University Press and are available on the website of the Council of Science Editors: (1) No specific feature within an image may be enhanced, obscured, moved, removed, or introduced; (2) Adjustments of brightness, contrast, or colour balance are acceptable if they are applied to the whole image and as long as they do not obscure, eliminate, or misrepresent any information present in the original; (3) The grouping of images from different parts of the same gel, or from different gels, fields, or exposures must be made explicit by the arrangement of the figure (e.g. dividing lines) and in the text of the figure legend; (4) If the original data cannot be produced by an author, acceptance of the manuscript may be revoked. Respirology randomly checks submitted and published papers for image manipulation. The original gel or blot images, from which parts have been used in arrangements, should be uploaded as supporting documents to allow composite image assessment.
The number of figures should be kept to a minimum and figures with more than four panels should be avoided. We encourage authors to make use of the supplementary information where possible.
There is no charge for publishing colour figures.
Images for the Journal Cover
Each electronic issue of Respirology features cover images selected from the papers published in the same issue. Authors are encouraged to submit suitable high-quality illustrations for consideration for cover illustration even if they do not appear in the actual article. The illustrations should be accompanied by a short explanatory legend, be submitted as supporting documents and have the word "cover" in the name of the files. Colour illustrations will be included on the cover free of charge for the author. Illustrations for the cover should comply with the requirement for figures as described above.
Supplementary Information
Supplementary information (e.g. non-critical methods, figures, tables and video material) can be submitted provided it is pertinent to the manuscript. If the manuscript is accepted for publication, supplementary material can be made available as a link to the published article. Supplementary information should be labelled sequentially Figure S1, Table S1, and so on and should be referred to in the text as "Supplementary Figure S1, Supplementary Table S1, etc". Supplementary information should comply with Respirology's 'Manuscript structure and formatting' guidelines outlined above. Please note that supplementary information will be refereed but will not be copyedited, or proofread by the Journal staff or the Publisher. It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure the accuracy of the contents. Information on submission of supplementary information is available at http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/suppmat.asp.
All submitted manuscripts, both unsolicited and invited, are reviewed before publication by multiple independent (i.e. independent from the author) qualified experts:
- Original Articles, Scientific Letters and Systematic Reviews are pre-screened upon submission by a Deputy Editor who assesses whether the manuscript falls within the scope of Respirology and is suitable to send to external referees. A decision to reject a submitted manuscript without external review requires a confirmation by a second Deputy Editor. Approximately 30% of submitted manuscripts get rejected at this pre-screening stage. The other 70% are assigned to an expert Associate Editor who sends the manuscript to at least two external referees. Authors are encouraged to suggest preferred reviewers upon submission and the option to request non-preferred reviewers is also available. Respirology accepts approx. 20% of submitted Original Articles. Accepted articles require final approval from a Senior Editor before proceeding to publication.
- Unsolicited Reviews are initially assessed by the Editor in Chief and, if considered within the scope of Respirology, are subsequently assigned to an appropriate Associate Editor for assessment by two external referees.
- Invited Reviews are commissioned by the Editor in Chief and are assessed by at least one Associate Editor who can choose to involve one or more external referees.
- Editorials and Correspondences are generally reviewed by the Editor in Chief only, who can involve external referees as required.
Respirology endorses the COPE Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers.
Authors wishing to appeal a decision on their manuscript should contact the Editor in Chief (firstname.lastname@example.com) with a letter outlining the reasons for their appeal. The Editor in Chief will respond to all appeals in a timely manner with a final decision.
The Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board reserve the right to refuse any material for publication, and to accept manuscripts conditional upon changes in its contents and category of publication. Any final decision rests with the Editorial Board. The Publisher, Asian Pacific Society of Respirology, the Editorial Board and the Editors cannot be held responsible for errors or any consequences arising from the use of information contained in the Journal.
Early View
Respirology offers rapid speed to publication using Wiley's Early View service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in an electronic issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After electronic issue publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article. More information about DOIs can be found at: http://www.doi.org/faq.html.
Author Services
Author Services allows the corresponding author to track the article—after its acceptance—online through the production process to publication in an electronic issue. The author will receive an email, instructions and a unique ID from the journal once their accepted article has been sent for production. After registration with the tracking service, authors can check the status of their article online or be alerted to all or selected stages of production. Authors can also nominate 10 colleagues to be alerted when their article is published online and to get free access to their article.
COPYRIGHT, LICENSING and ONLINE OPEN
Accepted papers will be passed to Wiley's production team for publication. The author identified as the formal corresponding author for the paper will receive an email prompting them to login into Wiley's Author Services, where via the Wiley Author Licensing Service (WALS) they will be asked to complete an electronic license agreement on behalf of all authors on the paper.
FAQs about the terms and conditions of the standard copyright transfer agreements (CTA) in place for the journal, including terms regarding archiving of the accepted version of the paper, are available at: CTA Terms and Conditions FAQs
OnlineOpen – 'Gold road' Open Access
OnlineOpen is available to authors of articles who wish to make their article freely available to all on Wiley Online Library under a Creative Commons licence. In addition, authors of OnlineOpen articles are permitted to post the final, published PDF of their article on a website, institutional repository or other free public server, immediately on publication. With OnlineOpen the author, the author's funding agency, or the author's institution pays a fee to ensure that the article is made open access, known as 'gold road' open access.

More copies of this ISBNA Sound Like Someone Trying Not to Make a Soundby John Irving
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:When a young boy wakes up in the middle of the night, an unfamiliar sound conjures frightening images in his mind.
Children everywhere can now enjoy John Irving's story about nighttime uncertainties, A Sound Like Someone Trying Not to Make a Sound. Originally found within Irving's ninth novel, A Widow for One Year, this atmospheric tale has been brought to life by Tatjana Hauptmann's beautifully muted illustrations. Includes an introduction by the author. Review:"Irving's first book for children, an atmospheric story originally included as part of his adult novel A Widow for One Year, introduces wide-eyed Tom, pictured in adorably rumpled pajamas. The boy wakes up in the night to a mysterious sound. 'It was a sound like, in the closet, if one of Mommy's dresses came alive and it tried to climb off the hanger,' he explains to his unseen father. Tom then pads around the house, solo, in search of the source. Irving credibly captures the imagined fears of a child jolted out of sleep: 'It seemed to Tom that the sound was definitely the sound of an armless, legless monster dragging its thick, wet fur.' Using broad pencil strokes and watercolor wash, Hauptmann (A Day in the Life of Petronella Pig) creates a world of moonlit blue shadows where innocent objects — a coat in a closet, a crumpled sweater — take on eerie aspects. The book's large format and empty-feeling spreads enhance the creepiness quotient. Yet the artist tempers the mood by picturing the wide-eyed boy always accompanied by his animated teddy bear under the full moon's light. The visuals may cause a few shivers, but the story ends on a reassuring note: 'A mouse crawling in the walls!... That's all it was!' says Tom. In showing young readers that the things that go bump in the night are, in reality, not so scary, Irving succeeds in helping them confront their fears. Ages 4-up. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Review:"Hazy pencil drawings in muted blues, grays, and greens surround pajama-clad Tom in shadows, wordlessly intensifying the mood of nocturnal fear. Perfect for anyone who fears things that go bump in the night." Kirkus Reviews
Review:"[T]he story the artwork tells seems to be a different one from that of the text....The text itself is a bit too complex for the intended audience, and the emphasis on frightening details detracts from the comfort of the father's simple explanation." School Library Journal
Synopsis:The bestselling author of The World According to Garp and The Cider House Rules presents this tale that appears in his ninth novel, A Widow for One Year, illustrated with beautifully muted drawings by Hauptmann. Also includes an Introduction by Irving.
About the AuthorJohn Irving is the author of numerous novels for adults, including A Widow for One Year, The Cider House Rules, A Prayer for Owen Meany, and The World According to Garp. He lives in Vermont and Toronto.

Serving up all the latest food news, cool foodie products, gossip, and good deals that are fit to print!
It's a Deal but Don't Call It "Early Bird"
The early bird special. It conjures up images of retirees doting over less expensive meals in restaurants a good two to three hours before anyone else would even think of eating dinner. That, however, is changing. Scrambling for ways to preserve their customer base, and always looking for new customers, many restaurants including national chains are offering early dinner and bar-food specials to pull them in.
Of course, its exactly that image of retirees stretching pensions that has prompted restaurants to rebrand the concept, according to New York Times. Twilight dining, early dining, and the completely safe prix fixe are being bandied about to draw younger people who have been particularly hard hit by the recession.
The term early bird may be a little dated from a lexicon standpoint, like doggy bag, Hudson Riehle, a senior vice president for research at the National Restaurant Association told the Times. But the concept has been and will continue to be an extremely effective marketing tool for certain restaurants in certain markets.
Not to be left out, P.F. Changs China Bistro has begun promoting happy hour specials in 27 states offering drinks between $3 and $6 from 3 to 6 p.m. Ruby Tuesday and T.G.I. Fridays have been offering similar deals to pull them in.
Of course, it doesnt really matter what you call them. A deals a deal. Care to meet me for dinner? My treat. How about 5 p.m.?

In you don't already know, this month is due to close with a very volatile full moon in Aries this Saturday. The relative position of other planets in the sky will combine with this moon to create what will feel like an astrological lightning storm for all of us from now until around the 4th of October.
There is quite a buzz online about this moon and for good reason. We are all in for an unpredictable time of surprises, awakenings and breakthroughs. Events and relationships in our lives will feel as explosive as nitroglycerine in this charged and intense time.
Some astrologers are literally warning people to hide out until the storm is over. This isn't necessarily bad advice as it is true that there will be real potential for high drama in the heat of the moment. However there won't be anything you can't deal with. Just remember to breathe.
All things are always working for our highest and best good. Aries is all about breaking down the old and clearing the way for the new. While this time may feel quite raw and extreme, I believe we can use this energy for transformation, like a purifying fire to burn away the old and make way for the new, melt things down and remake them.
The energy of breakthrough this Aries moon brings is symbolised in Tarot by the Judgement Card. This card shows up when we need to blow the whistle and call time on what hasn't been been working in our lives. It symbolises change and renewal for the better.
See this is the perfect time to reflect and find the courage to finally realise what positive changes you need to make in your life and what you need to let go of now. What has been holding you back? Be brave and let the energy of this time give you the courage to be the new you.
Love, Caroline Anna
Thank you for this great post. I would love your help in finding answers to my questions in life. Thanks.

I have had a rocky September already. I feel like the monster moon hit on the10th when my boyfriend of 2 years ended our relationship. Every thing you say about this upcoming full moon sounds like what I have already been experiencing. Kind of overwhelmed with what may be coming in the next few days. I miss my guy, but know he won't come back. So I am trying to let go in my heart. Trying. Some days are better than others.

Hello, would just like to say...this whole year...in fact past couple years have stressful and trying enough!! Sure hope this abusive full moon doesn't additionally impact my life, although if it is to bring ending to a lot negative things in my life...it could be a blessing! I just hope and pray for the possibility of anything to come brings positive and happy things for once...

Thank you Caroline Anna, my husband and I could really use some ...normal...happy events in life for once...it's been a while. And it has been tough to stay positive in these trying times... But by helping each other, I think that's what keeps us sane and striving for a more positive life. Thanks again for your helpful reply!!

Hi, I also have had problems in my (now over) relationship since 2009 (the birth of our first child) their father and I do love each other deep down but everytime we would conquer one problem, another few would arrive untill it all got too much for us. I saw above that you said Saturn will move into Scorpio in October, what energies will this bring compared to Saturn in Libra? Or where can I find information on it? I am new to astrology and how it works, thanks.

Is it really true that after Oct. 6th things will change for better, for people who have been suffering for the last 3 years? I've been sufferring much in the professional front. I have been losing jobs for no reason and with no indication. And I am not getting any interview calls either. Really bothered about my future existence in this world

Hi all! As for this "Aries Moon", in Chinese culture we celebrate our Moon Festival on September 30. We light incense, eat moon cakes with our family, pray and make wishes. We consider it to be a wonderful and positive time. It's a neat little celebration!

text: Hi all, Working with the Tcl update and trying to go ahead and simplify the instructions and use the 'make install-private-headers' target. For some background, visit http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/1897 Here's some notes. There are things that need to be discussed, hashed out and a decision needs to be reached. The headers are what we need to get straight. Anyway, here's a review of the proposed changes. Much of it is from Bruce's suggestions, though I had to change some of it. 1. The 3 exported variables can be removed. $VERSION is an entity we already have defined. $V can be a new defined entity (and it will only change rarely, like when Tcl moves to 8.5.x and then 8.6.x). $DIR is the same as $PWD, why create another? 2. The sed that fixed configure isn't required. It has been fixed upstream and is in this new version (8.4.13). 3. This ugly sed will change from this: sed -i -e "s:${DIR}/unix:/usr/lib:" \ -e "s:${DIR}:/usr/include/tcl${V}:" \ -e "s:^TCL_LIB_FILE='libtcl${V}..TCL_DBGX..so':\ TCL_LIB_FILE=\"libtcl${V}\$\{TCL_DBGX\}.so\":" tclConfig.sh to this: sed -i -e "s:${PWD}:/usr/lib:" \ -e "s:$(dirname ${PWD}):/usr/include/tcl&tclver;:" \ -e "/TCL_LIB_FILE/ s:':\":g" \ tclConfig.sh 4. It was mentioned in the ticket that perhaps we don't even need to do the sed. I'm not sure about that. I think we need it for as long as we continue to remove the source tree. I just can't see how tclConfig.sh would work without the changes. Now, as we'll see later in this message, that sed above (both do the exact thing) *will need to be changed* if we use a different method to install the headers. I'll touch on this at the end of the message. Now on to the installation commands: 5. We have 5 lines working with the headers. It should actually be only 4 as there are two different lines creating directories where consolidating them would only require changing a 'unix' to a '{unix,generic}'. So, we'll consider it 4 with them being the one to create the two directories, 2 to install headers into those directories, and 1 command removes some redundant headers so they don't exist in two places. So, let's call it 4 lines. Some say we should use the 'make install-private-headers' Makefile target instead. This would require 2 lines: the make line being one and because one necessary header isn't installed, we have to do that one manually. So, two commands. FYI: the missed header defines things for thread support. I suppose since we pass --enable-threads to configure and the install-header target doesn't install the header we'll have to do it manually. So, 2 commands. Half as many, but only *two* commands we are eliminating. 6. This is really a continuation of 5, but in 5 I wanted to stress 4 commands versus 2. Not only is there a difference in the commands, but there is a difference *in what gets installed*. And I don't know enough about Tcl to determine if the difference in the installation will affect things. I tend to think it is to close to a release, without enough time to properly test all the packages that create Tcl bindings and ensure they build and work properly. Here is the list of differences. First, here is what is installed using the two-command 'make install-private-headers' method: rml at rmlinux: ~/build > ls -l /home/rml/tcl total 16 drwxr-xr-x 2 rml install 4096 Apr 28 16:23 bin drwxr-xr-x 2 rml install 4096 Apr 28 16:26 include drwxr-xr-x 3 rml install 4096 Apr 28 16:23 lib drwxr-xr-x 5 rml install 4096 Apr 28 16:23 man rml at rmlinux: ~/build > find /home/rml/tcl/include /home/rml/tcl/include /home/rml/tcl/include/tcl.h /home/rml/tcl/include/tclDecls.h /home/rml/tcl/include/tclPlatDecls.h /home/rml/tcl/include/tclInt.h /home/rml/tcl/include/tclIntDecls.h /home/rml/tcl/include/tclIntPlatDecls.h /home/rml/tcl/include/tclUnixPort.h /home/rml/tcl/include/tclMath.h /home/rml/tcl/include/tclPort.h Here is what gets installed using our existing four-command method: rml at rmlinux: ~/build > ls -C1 /usr/include/tcl*.h /usr/include/tcl.h /usr/include/tclDecls.h /usr/include/tclPlatDecls.h /usr/include/tcldbg.h rml at rmlinux: ~/build > ls -C1 /usr/include/tcl8.4 generic unix rml at rmlinux: ~/build > ls -C1 /usr/include/tcl8.4/unix tclUnixPort.h tclUnixThrd.h rml at rmlinux: ~/build > ls -C1 /usr/include/tcl8.4/generic regcustom.h regerrs.h regex.h regguts.h tclCompile.h tclIO.h tclInitScript.h tclInt.h tclIntDecls.h tclIntPlatDecls.h tclMath.h tclPort.h tclRegexp.h Now (you're at the end of the message finally) we need to compare the difference in the *number* of files and the *location* of the headers. Our existing instructions installs more headers and into a different directory structure. The two-command method installs less headers *all into /usr/include*. I'm sure I can make a change to the sedding of tclConfig.sh so that all the headers would be found if they are all in /usr/include. But do the headers that are not installed matter? Keep in mind, the 'make install-private-headers' method already leaves out an important header which defines things for thread support. Are any more being left out that are needed? Let the discussion ensue. P.S. I won't make any changes until at least Wednesday, so that folks that don't do LFS on weekends will have a chance to contribute to the discussion. That is, unless something definitive is determined before then. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 22.214.171.124 i686] 16:34:00 up 34 days, 4:11, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

Law enforcement around theSubmitted by portcity (not verified) on Tue, 01/07/2014 - 4:08pm.
Law enforcement around the country is losing its faith anf trust in the Law Abiding Citizens of America. These sensless killing of inocent people has got to stop and happens too often, Then the officers are not punished as severly as they should be. Eventually the communities will turn against the LEO and then who will protect the officers. Seems like there are way too many bad apples to stop the rest from spoiling. Law Enforcement is trained to treat the civilians as the enemy. They do not protect and serve they command and conquer. There are many more civilians than police officers and eventually you will realize you are outnumbered by then it would probably be too late. How could a grown man not stop a very small 18 year old holding a screw driver??? Better yet three grown men!!!! If this was my son, the officer and myself would have had to accept the same fate because he would not have walked out of my house! »

Subject: | Sex Offenders State Legislation Chemical Castration Constitutionality Medical Ethics State Statutes |
Abstract: | Recently, several states have passed legislation allowing or directing state officials to impose treatment, sometimes referred to as chemical castration, on particular classes of sex offenders. Several other states have attempted to pass similar legislation. Such legislation raises multiple intricate issues including the efficacy of the treatment, the responsibilities of medical professionals implementing the provisions of the statutes, and the constitutionality of the statutes. This comment addresses several of the legal and ethical issues surrounding state legislation that requires chemical treatment of sex offenders as a condition of their release from incarceration. The first section will set out basic information on chemical treatment of sexual deviance, the general efficacy of this treatment, and the efficacy of the treatment as it will likely be applied by the statutes in force. Some medical ethical issues implicated by the efficacy of the treatment will also be explored. The second section will address two related issues of consent. Legal and ethical requirements for informed consent may raise several ethical and policy issues for medical professionals implementing statutory provisions. Consent may also affect a sex offender's ability to assert constitutional claims regarding chemical treatment. While many constitutional questions are implicated by these statutes, this comment will focus on the impact of consent on claims based on substantive due process and cruel and unusual punishment. Finally, this comment will explore general policy issues surrounding legislation authorizing chemical treatment for sex offenders. |

Glass half empty and glass half full,
Everyday I feel the pull,
And so I ask, where did you go?
Please oh please, just let me know,
I never thought I'd see you leave,
But as it happened, we all grieved.
An Autumn leaf fallen to the dirt,
Now to become one with the earth,
Like the stars shining in the night,
In my heart, you twinkle bright,
A glass vase, I was shattered,
In an instant, you were all that mattered.
As I carry on, you'll stay with me,
I hope you know what you meant to me,
My childhood you helped to define,
Now everything is out of line,
A million tears shed for you,
Oh, I will never forget you.

Error rate
cost = treetest(t,'resubstitution')
cost = treetest(t,'test',X,y)
cost = treetest(t,'crossvalidate',X,y)
[cost,secost,ntnodes,bestlevel] = treetest(...)
[...] = treetest(...,param1,val1,param2,val2,...)
Note: treetest will be removed in a future release. Use classregtree.test instead. |
Note: This function is superseded by the test method of the classregtree class and is maintained only for backwards compatibility. It accepts objects t created with the classregtree constructor. |
cost = treetest(t,'resubstitution') computes the cost of the tree t using a resubstitution method. t is a decision tree as created by the treefit function. The cost of the tree is the sum over all terminal nodes of the estimated probability of that node times the node's cost. If t is a classification tree, the cost of a node is the sum of the misclassification costs of the observations in that node. If t is a regression tree, the cost of a node is the average squared error over the observations in that node. cost is a vector of cost values for each subtree in the optimal pruning sequence for t. The resubstitution cost is based on the same sample that was used to create the original tree, so it underestimates the likely cost of applying the tree to new data.
cost = treetest(t,'test',X,y) uses the predictor matrix X and response y as a test sample, applies the decision tree t to that sample, and returns a vector cost of cost values computed for the test sample. X and y should not be the same as the learning sample, which is the sample that was used to fit the tree t.
cost = treetest(t,'crossvalidate',X,y) uses 10-fold cross-validation to compute the cost vector. X and y should be the learning sample, which is the sample that was used to fit the tree t. The function partitions the sample into 10 subsamples, chosen randomly but with roughly equal size. For classification trees, the subsamples also have roughly the same class proportions. For each subsample, treetest fits a tree to the remaining data and uses it to predict the subsample. It pools the information from all subsamples to compute the cost for the whole sample.
[cost,secost,ntnodes,bestlevel] = treetest(...) also returns the vector secost containing the standard error of each cost value, the vector ntnodes containing number of terminal nodes for each subtree, and the scalar bestlevel containing the estimated best level of pruning. bestlevel = 0 means no pruning, i.e., the full unpruned tree. The best level is the one that produces the smallest tree that is within one standard error of the minimum-cost subtree.
[...] = treetest(...,param1,val1,param2,val2,...) specifies optional parameter name-value pairs chosen from the following table.
Parameter | Value |
'nsamples' | The number of cross-validations samples (default is 10). |
'treesize' | Either 'se' (default) to choose the smallest tree whose cost is within one standard error of the minimum cost, or 'min' to choose the minimal cost tree. |
Find the best tree for Fisher's iris data using cross-validation. The solid line shows the estimated cost for each tree size, the dashed line marks one standard error above the minimum, and the square marks the smallest tree under the dashed line.
% Start with a large tree. load fisheriris; t = treefit(meas,species','splitmin',5); % Find the minimum-cost tree. [c,s,n,best] = treetest(t,'cross',meas,species); tmin = treeprune(t,'level',best); % Plot smallest tree within 1 std of minimum cost tree. [mincost,minloc] = min(c); plot(n,c,'b-o',... n(best+1),c(best+1),'bs',... n,(mincost+s(minloc))*ones(size(n)),'k--'); xlabel('Tree size (number of terminal nodes)') ylabel('Cost')
