ABSTRACT: Although several small individual series on stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for facial nerve schwannomas (FNSs) have been published, we aim to systematically aggregate data from the literature as well as from our institution to better understand the safety and efficacy of SRS for FNS. PubMed English language search for keywords "facial nerve schwannoma" AND "radiation therapy" published from January 1995 to 2014. Data from our institution were also included in the analysis. Minimum study inclusion criteria included tumor treatment outcomes yielding 10 studies in the literature. In addition, our institution's data on six patients were included. Data included radiation treatment type, radiation dose, tumor size, tumor control, tumor control definition, FN function, hearing outcome, and duration of follow-up. In total, there were 45 patients with at least 2-year follow-up. Forty-two patients (93.3%) had tumor control. Of those patients with described growth/shrinkage definitions, 50.0% had no growth, 43.3% had shrinkage, and 6.7% had growth. Of those articles that included FN functional outcomes, 26 patients (66.6%) had stable FN function, 8 (20.5%) had improved function, and 5 (12.8%) had worsened FN function after treatment. In total, there were 30 patients whose hearing outcomes were discussed in the literature. Of those with serviceable hearing before SRS (n = 14), nine (64.3%) had stable hearing and five (36.7%) had worsened function after SRS. The mean posttreatment follow-up period was 42.1 months. SRS seems to be effective at either stabilizing or shrinking FNS. However, significant morbidities of FN paralysis hearing loss do exist.Ontology & Neurotology 01/2015; DOI:10.1097/MAO.0000000000000708 · 1.60 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Patients with Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) present complex and challenging management dilemmas. Surgical removal of vestibular schwannomas (VS) often result in total hearing loss. Early diagnosis using gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and refinements in hearing preservation surgery have improved our ability to prevent total hearing loss while achieving complete tumor removal in smaller tumors, but for patients with larger tumors or patients with no useful hearing in that ear, the auditory brainstem implant (ABI) allows restoration of some auditory function when the tumor is removed. Additionally, children with cochlear aplasia and cochlear nerve deficiency have begun to be implanted with auditory brainstem implants, with varied results. This article discusses surgical placement of the ABI.Operative Techniques in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery 12/2014; DOI:10.1016/j.otot.2014.09.004

ABSTRACT: Translabyrinthine resection of intracranial tumors results in single-sided deafness, which can be treated by surgical and nonsurgical means. Here we describe the first series examining complication and device usage rates among patients receiving a surgically implanted bone-anchored hearing device (BAHD) at the time of translabyrinthine tumor removal. Case series with chart review. Private tertiary neurotologic referral center. Patients (N = 154) undergoing concurrent BAHD placement and translabyrinthine tumor resection. Concurrent BAHD placement and translabyrinthine tumor removal. Postoperative complication rates and BAHD usage. Of the 154 patients, 121 (78.6%) had no device-related complications. The most common device-related complications were skin overgrowth (8.4%), acute infection (5.2%), and chronic infection (3.2%). The overall and specific complication rates did not differ from published BAHD complication rates. One patient (0.6%) developed a cerebrospinal leak through the surgical site for the device. At the time of last follow-up (mean, 39.8 months), 151 patients (95.0%) were still using their devices. Patients undergoing concurrent translabyrinthine tumor removal and BAHD placement exhibit similar device-related complication profiles as patients undergoing standard device placement. Based on these outcomes and the high long-term usage rates, BAHD insertion at the time of translabyrinthine intracranial surgery can be considered a safe and useful procedure. © American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery Foundation 2014.Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 11/2014; DOI:10.1177/0194599814558038 · 1.72 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: We present video of gross-total resection of a large cerebellopontine angle tumor consisting of both vestibular and facial schwannoma components via the translabyrinthine route in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 2. The facial nerve is reconstructed using a greater auricular nerve graft, and an auditory brainstem implant is placed. Prior to surgery the patient had no facial nerve function on the operative side and had lost useful hearing. He also had usable vision only on the ipsilateral side and had contralateral vocal cord paralysis.

Article: Total Ossiculoplasty: Short- and Long-Term Results Using a Titanium Prosthesis With Footplate Shoe.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Review experience using a titanium TORP with a footplate shoe; compare early and long-term hearing results and complications with those obtained using a TORP alone. Retrospective chart review. Tertiary referral neurotologic private practice. Patients undergoing total ossicular replacement with a titanium prosthesis (total ossicular reconstruction prosthesis [TORP]); 74 with a TORP + footplate shoe and 62 with TORP alone. Ossicular chain reconstruction with a titanium TORP. Short- and long-term air-bone gap (ABG), change in ABG from preoperative to postoperative and from postoperative to last recorded follow-up, sensorineural hearing loss. The shoe group had a smaller mean postoperative ABG (17.7 dB versus 21.6 dB, p ≤ 0.048) and a greater average amount of closure in ABG (21.9 dB versus 13.2 dB, p ≤ 0.004), but there was no significant difference in percentage of patients achieving a postoperative ABG of 20 dB or lesser (57.4% versus 61.6%). There were no differences between groups at long-term follow-up or in amount of change in ABG from postoperative to last audiogram or in amount of change in sensorineural hearing from preoperative to postoperative. Although surgical factors (number of previous surgeries, and presence of a cavity) impacted outcomes, there were no interactions with prosthesis group and no differences in complications between groups. Ossicular reconstruction still presents challenges. A titanium prosthesis with a "shoe" for stabilization may offer advantages. Results in this study consistently favored the TORP + shoe group,although not all differences achieved statistical significance. A larger study might better define possible advantages of the shoe prosthesis for specific subgroups of patients.Otology & neurotology: official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology 11/2013; DOI:10.1097/MAO.0b013e3182a475ac · 1.44 Impact Factor
Article: Evaluation of the Increased Use of Partial Resection of Large Vestibular Schwanommas: Facial Nerve Outcomes and Recurrence/Regrowth Rates.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To determine whether partial tumor removal in large vestibular schwannoma improves facial nerve outcomes while maintaining a low risk of tumor regrowth/recurrence. Retrospective chart review and prospective database. Tertiary neurotologic referral center. Four hundred patients with a vestibular schwannoma of 2.5 cm or greater in maximum diameter undergoing translabyrinthine microsurgical resection from 2001 to 2011. There were 325 gross total resections (GTR), 44 near total resections (NTR), and 31 subtotal resections (STR), with an overall mean tumor size of 3.2 cm (standard deviation, 0.7). Translabyrinthine surgical tumor resection. House-Brackmann (H-B) facial nerve grade postoperatively and at 1 year, tumor regrowth/recurrence (≥2 mm), additional treatment, and complications. Higher rates of H-B facial nerve Grades I and II were achieved at both the postoperative and 1-year follow-ups in the NTR (78%, 97%) and STR (71%, 96%) groups compared with GTR (53%, 77%) (p ≤ 0.001). Eye treatment, medical or surgical, was required more often in GTR (28.0%) than NTR and STR (8% and 21%, respectively, p ≤ 0.04), with no other differences in complications. The NTR and STR groups had a significantly higher rate of regrowth than GTR resection (21% and 22% versus 3%) (p ≤ 0.001) at average follow-up times of 3.7, 3.7, and 5.1 years, respectively, and need for further treatment occurred at a higher rate, although infrequently, in NTR and STR (2% and 10% versus 0%) (p ≤ 0.001). Near total and subtotal removal in large tumors are viable treatment options to maintain facial nerve function. During the follow-up period examined in this study, there was a low risk of need for further treatment. Longer-term follow-up is needed to better assess the need for retreatment in patients treated with NTR and STR.Otology & neurotology: official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology 08/2013; DOI:10.1097/MAO.0b013e3182976552 · 1.44 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Objective To review the cumulative experience of surgical management of endolymphatic sac tumors (ELSTs) in the literature. To review the experience with ELST management at a tertiary referral-based otology-neurotology practice and present our approach to management. Study Design Retrospective patient review at a referral-based otology-neurotology practice. Methods A review of all available records from the House Clinic of patients with ELSTs was performed. Presentation, diagnostic workup, microsurgical approach, and outcomes were reviewed. Literature review using MEDLINE of studies reporting surgical outcomes of patients with ELSTs was also performed. Results Retrospective chart review revealed 18 patients with ELSTs who underwent surgical management. Grouping of these patients provides surgical outcomes on the largest group of mostly non-von Hippel-Lindau patients with ELSTs in the literature. Patients most commonly presented with sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness. A majority of patients presented with large tumors exhibiting significant destruction of surrounding structures including the cochlea, vestibule, and internal auditory canal. Patients underwent microsurgical resection with the intent of complete resection. Conclusions Although the extensive nature of ELSTs at time of diagnosis often precludes hearing preservation, complete microsurgical resection can be achieved safely with preservation of facial function in the majority of cases.02/2013; 74(1):12-9.

ABSTRACT: Vestibular schwannomas (VS) or acoustic neuromas are benign tumors arising from Schwann cells of the vestibular branch of the eighth cranial nerve. The tumor was first described 1910 by Henschen, who provided evidence that it originates from the Schwann cells. Nevertheless, the term acoustic neuroma was commonly used. The National Institute of Health decided in 1992 in a Consensus Development Conference: "The term vestibular schannoma is preferred over acoustic neuroma as these tumors are composed of Schwann cells and typically involve the vestibular rather than the acoustic division of the eighth cranial nerve." Therefore, we will use the term of VS, although acoustic neuroma is still more common in the literature.Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America 04/2012; 45(2):xiii-xv.

ABSTRACT: Auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) can provide highly beneficial hearing sensations to individuals deafened by bilateral vestibular schwannomas (neurofibromatosis type 2). Relatively little is known about the status of stimulated neurons after long-term ABI use. Direct examination of the cochlear nuclear complex (CN) of one 5-year ABI user indicated no deleterious effect. Recently, we examined the brainstem of a patient who used his ABI daily for 15 years with excellent performance. There was good preservation of CN cell size, morphology, and packing density, a very favorable sign considering that a number of infants are now receiving ABIs.The Laryngoscope 03/2012; 122(3):645-8.

ABSTRACT: Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a tumor suppressor syndrome characterized by bilateral vestibular schwannomas (VS) which often result in deafness despite aggressive management. Meningiomas, ependymomas, and other cranial nerve and peripheral schwannomas are also commonly found in NF2 and collectively lead to major neurologic morbidity and mortality. Traditionally, the overall survival rate in patients with NF2 is estimated to be 38% at 20 years from diagnosis. Hence, there is a desperate need for new, effective therapies. Recent progress in understanding the molecular basis of NF2 related tumors has aided in the identification of potential therapeutic targets and emerging clinical therapies. In June 2010, representatives of the international NF2 research and clinical community convened under the leadership of Drs. D. Gareth Evans (University of Manchester) and Marco Giovannini (House Research Institute) to review the state of NF2 treatment and clinical trials. This manuscript summarizes the expert opinions about current treatments for NF2 associated tumors and recommendations for advancing therapies emerging from that meeting. The development of effective therapies for NF2 associated tumors has the potential for significant clinical advancement not only for patients with NF2 but for thousands of neuro-oncology patients afflicted with these tumors. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A 12/2011; DOI:10.1002/ajmg.a.34359 · 2.30 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: To examine hearing preservation rates, facial nerve outcomes, and tumor recurrence rates in patients with neurofibromatosis Type 2 undergoing a primary middle cranial fossa approach for vestibular schwannoma removal. Retrospective chart review. Private practice tertiary neurotology referral center. All patients with neurofibromatosis Type 2 undergoing attempted hearing preservation via a middle cranial fossa approach for removal of vestibular schwannoma from January 1, 2000, to June 1, 2010. Primary middle cranial fossa approach for removal of vestibular schwannoma. Preoperative, postoperative, and change in hearing thresholds, word recognition scores, and American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery hearing class, House-Brackmann facial nerve grade, and tumor recurrence. Class A or B hearing according to the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery was maintained in 50% of cases, whereas 63.6% had Class A, B, or C hearing, with an average word recognition score of 93.8% at an average follow-up period of 32.5 months. Facial nerve outcomes were excellent; 75% of cases maintained House-Brackmann Grade 1, whereas 94.3% had Grade 1 or 2 at an average of 25 months after surgery. Tumor growth within the surgical field was observed radiographically in 59% of cases. In patients with neurofibromatosis Type 2, proactive treatment of smaller tumors provides a chance to maintain serviceable hearing and obtain tumor control for extended periods. When examining hearing outcomes, it is important to use word recognition scores, in addition to American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery hearing class, to better assess functionality. Although facial nerve outcomes tend to be favorable, the growth of new tumors, including facial schwannomas, may occur within the surgical field. Continued surveillance with serial magnetic resonance scans after surgery is mandatory.Otology & neurotology: official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology 12/2011; 32(9):1530-7.

ABSTRACT: To design a treatment algorithm based on experience with facial nerve schwannomas (FNS) over a 30-year period. Retrospective chart review. Seventy-nine patients with facial nerve schwannomas seen from 1979 through 2009 at a tertiary referral private otologic practice were categorized by treatment modality. Interventions included surgical resection with grafting, bony decompression, observation, or stereotactic radiation. Outcome measures included House-Brackmann facial nerve grade before and after intervention as well as change in facial nerve grade, tumor size, involved segments of nerve, time to intervention. Thirty-seven patients (46.8%) ultimately underwent surgical excision with grafting or primary anastomosis, 21 (26.6%) underwent bony decompression alone, 15 (19.0%) were managed with observation only, and 6 (7.6%) had stereotactic radiation. Through 1995, 85% of cases had surgical resection and none had observation only. Of the 52 patients seen after 1995, 27% had surgical resection and grafting, 33% had bony decompression, 29% were managed with observation alone, and 11% had radiotherapy. Facial nerve grade was maintained or improved over the follow-up period (mean time = 3.9 years) in 78.9% of the decompression group and 100% of the observation and radiation groups compared to 54.8% of the resection group (P ≤ .012). Surgical resection and grafting, once widely accepted and practiced, has in many cases given way to observation, bony decompression, or stereotactic radiation. A wide armamentarium of options is available to the neurotologist treating facial nerve schwannomas with the ability to preserve facial function for a longer period of time.The Laryngoscope 09/2011; 121(10):2065-74.

ABSTRACT: Determine whether more conservative management for surgical salvage after failed radiation leads to better facial nerve outcomes. "Retrospective" review using prospectively planned database. Private practice, tertiary neurotology/neurosurgery referral center. A series of 73 patients with vestibular schwannoma, who underwent primary radiosurgery with no other intervention and then surgical salvage tumor removal using the translabyrinthine approach. Translabyrinthine craniotomy for vestibular schwannoma salvage surgery after failed radiation, with either gross total or partial tumor removal. Long-term (1 yr) House-Brackmann (H-B) facial nerve grade and change in facial nerve grade from before to after surgery. Of the 73 patients, 79.5% had gross total removal, 5.5% had planned partial resection (subtotal or near total), and 15.1% had intraoperatively elected partial removal with most of these being near total removal. At 1 year of follow-up, good facial nerve function (H-B I/II) was found in 50% of patients with gross total removal and 85.7% of those with partial removal (p ≤ 0.03). The H-B grade was maintained postoperatively in 45.8% and 78.6% of the 2 groups, respectively (p ≤ 0.037), with 21.7% of the total removal group having unsatisfactory outcomes (H-B V or VI) compared with 7.1% of patients with partial removal. To date, no patient has required additional treatment. Failed radiosurgery is an increasing indication for salvage surgery in patients with posterior fossa tumors. A conservative approach with a willingness to perform partial and near-total tumor removals leads to better facial nerve outcomes with no current evidence of treatment compromise.Otology & neurotology: official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology 09/2011; 32(8):1322-8.

Article: Middle fossa decompression for hearing preservation: a review of institutional results and indications.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To assess the duration of hearing preservation from time of vestibular schwannoma middle fossa decompression with short-term and 1-year hearing preservation rates. Retrospective case review. Tertiary referral center. Patients with and without neurofibromatosis type 2 who underwent middle fossa decompression. We excluded patients without tumor size or audiograms at initial diagnosis or follow-up less than 3 months. Middle cranial fossa decompression, audiometry, and magnetic resonance imaging. Period of hearing maintenance (from surgery to longest time point that preoperative American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery [AAO-HNS] hearing class maintained or improved), short-term hearing preservation (within 3 mo of surgery), and 1-year hearing preservation. A total of 49 patients underwent middle fossa decompression of vestibular schwannoma. Approximately 90% of patients had documented hearing loss before surgery, and more than 50% of patients exhibited significant tumor growth before surgery. Of these surgeries, more than 90% were performed in patients with hearing loss in an only hearing ear, and more than 90% were patients with neurofibromatosis type 2. The mean period of hearing maintenance was 2.1 years. The short-term hearing preservation rate as measured by the change from preoperative AAO-HNS hearing class was approximately 90%. The 1-year hearing preservation rate as measured by change from preoperative AAO-HNS hearing class was 63%. Middle fossa decompression for vestibular schwannoma can prolong hearing in patients with hearing changes in an only hearing ear. Understanding the duration of hearing preservation can enable more effective counseling of patients considering middle cranial fossa decompression for vestibular schwannoma.Otology & neurotology: official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology 06/2011; 32(6):1017-24.

F. W. Murnau's landmark vampire film Nosferatu isn't merely a variation on Bram Stoker's Dracula: it's a direct steal, so much so that Stoker's widow went to court, demanding in vain that the Murnau film be suppressed and destroyed. The character names have been changed to protect the guilty (in the original German prints, at least), but devotees of Stoker will have little trouble recognizing their Dracula counterparts. The film begins in the Carpathian mountains, where real estate agent Hutter (Gustav von Wagenheim) has arrived to close a sale with the reclusive Herr Orlok (Max Schreck). Despite the feverish warnings of the local peasants, Hutter insists upon completing his journey to Orlok's sinister castle. While enjoying his host's hospitality, Hutter accidently cuts his finger-whereupon Orlok tips his hand by staring intently at the bloody digit, licking his lips. Hutter catches on that Orlok is no ordinary mortal when he witnesses the vampiric nobleman loading himself into a coffin in preparation for his journey to Bremen. By the time the ship bearing Orlok arrives at its destination, the captain and crew have all been killed-and partially devoured. There follows a wave of mysterious deaths in Bremen, which the local authorities attribute to a plague of some sort. But Ellen, Hutter's wife, knows better. Armed with the knowledge that a vampire will perish upon exposure to the rays of the sun, Ellen offers herself to Orlok, deliberately keeping him "entertained" until sunrise. At the cost of her own life, Ellen ends Orlok's reign of terror once and for all. Rumors still persist that Max Schreck, the actor playing Nosferatu, was actually another, better-known performer in disguise. Whatever the case, Schreck's natural countenance was buried under one of the most repulsive facial makeups in cinema history-one that was copied to even greater effect by Klaus Kinski in Werner Herzog's 1979 remake - Nosferatu the Vampyre. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

On June 28, 2012, the Supreme Court decided to back President Obama's signature health care law.
CNN.com takes a look at health care in the United States by the numbers, including the populations that could be most affected by the decision.
Presidential candidate Ted Cruz tells CNN that he will sign up for health care coverage through the Affordable Care Act -- a law he has been on a crusade to kill.

The Affordable Care Act's price tag continues to fall. The president's landmark health reform law will cost $506 billion for the coming five fiscal years, according to updated projections from the Congressional Budget Office, released Monday.
The IRS is delaying the refunds of tens of thousands of Obamacare enrollees, said Nina Olson, the National Taxpayer Advocate.

President Barack Obama on Wednesday acknowledged that the Affordable Care Act website was too slow and too many people "have gotten stuck" in it, adding "I'm not happy about it."
Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is no stranger to on-street interviews where he finds out just how much everyday Americans know about everyday issues, current events or politics.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Three good reasons to select our apartment, and enjoy your next vacation:
1). A lovely apartment, nice, clean and safe condo, excellent location, close to the top hotels, restaurants and beach. Good service at the best price.
2). The apartment has been totally rebuilt. Includes 1 bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, balcony, free parking. Its equipped with everything necessary for the enjoyment of our guests.
3). Enjoy morning of a beautiful sea view from the bedroom, lying in bed, or from the balcony. At night, sit on the balcony to admire the lighting of the city, San Juan Hotel Resort & Casino, restaurants, people walking in the area, or just take the elevator down to enjoy the social life offered by the Isla Verde area.
This condo is in an ideal location. Close to everything and a car is not needed but useful depending on your plans. The unit has all the basics and is very clean. Juan is an excellent host and will help in any way he can. I highly recommend Juan's place and when you consider the price it's an great bargain. We will certainly return.
we stayed at this condo for 8 nights. the condo was as advertised, clean ,safe ,and located perfectly for access to 2 beautiful beaches as well as an unlimited array of restaurants and bars. we used to pool a couple of times and it was also clean. it also had a shower area where we could wash sand from the beach chairs provided with the condo. another bonus feature. Juan and his assistant were a pleasure to deal with, the booking , check-in and checkout was a breeze. we did not rent a car this trip, but having a secure parking space would be a big plus if you did rent one. The cost of the rental was great and we look forward to returning. thanks Juan for all you help yours tony and eileen
My husband and I are newly married. We stayed at Juan's apartment 2 years ago and absolutely had to come back. The apartment is very clean and organized. When I tell you that you won't find a better deal then this, I'm not kidding. I am very familiar with the island as I am Puerto Rican. Isla Verde is a beautiful area but hotels are so expensive. Juan's apartment has a full kitchen, balcony, huge closets, FREE parking, free wifi, cable, beach chairs, beach towels and a cooler. Drinks, chairs and umbrellas at the beach are ALL so overpriced. Everyone is trying to make a buck off of tourists. We went food shoping (the supermarket is just a 5 minute walk away) and bought breakfast food and beach snacks. Saved us TONS of money.
We took the bus everywhere. 75 cents each way, exact change only. The T45 takes you to Pinones which is where you can find authentic puerto rican fried food and seafood for cheap. Both the T5 and 53 bus take you to Old San Juan. If you want fine dining, Old San Juan has dozens of amazing places as well. And of course there are great restaurants within walking distance of the apartment. There's a Walgreens just 3 minutes walking distance if you forget suncreen or just want to pick up some last minute things. The reviews speak for themselves. Juan is amazing and we know that we will be lifelong clients of his!
We stayed here in Dec 2014 for 8 days. This is the perfect location to get to everything you need. We didn't even rent a car, we took the bus which was .75 each way to Old San Juan (u need exact change for the bus). We went thru Castillo Tours to the Rain Forest and and Laquillo beach. Everyone in PR is so helpful and the friendliest people we've ever met.
The condo was perfectly clean, well stocked and gorgeous. Great view from the balcony too. Juan was amazing and extremely helpful, he explained everything once we got there abt the condo like WiFi, things to see and do and answered any questions we had. Very friendly and extremely eager to make sure we were pleased with everything. He even checked in on us via text to see how we were and making sure we were having a good time.
Our favorite restaurant that is very nice and priced reasonably was Metropol. Another restaurant that's even closer that has the best value with $8-$9 specials and the meals are spectacular is Basilias (went there 3 times).
We will definitely be coming back to PR and will definitely stay at this condo again.
We've stayed in this apartment twice. It's location is perfect for anyone looking for great fun or just a romantic get away. Among others things it features 24 hour security, free parking, included beach chairs, and a large pool. The place is just furnished and equipped with everything you may need...full kitchen, 2 spacious closets, a medium sized balcony with a spectacular ocean view and a nice bedroom with a comfortable bed from which you can view the Caribbean Sea. There's also free Wi-Fi and Direct TV. If you won't travel far and do not rent a car, you could just hail a cab or catch a bus or a trolley right in front of the building's gate. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back again soon as Isla Verde has become our most cherished beach in the Caribbean.
Jimmy & Mema
Great place on a budget. Easy location to find and clean and remodeled. It's in between the ESJ and Lupis restaurant parking lot can be easily missed. If you want a great place for dinner/Roof top Lounge check out the Zest restaurant located at the WaterBeach hotel located on 2 Tartak Street • Isla Verde, San Juan, Carolina, Puerto Rico 00979. I can't wait to return to Puerto Rico!
During the night walk along Avenida Isla Verde, a cosmopolitan, very fashionable. You will find the famous hotels: San Juan Resort & Casino, Ritz Carlton, Intercontinental, Marriott Courtyard, Hampton Inn & Suites, Embassy Suites, ect. You can visit the renowned restaurants of the area: The Metropol, Outback, Ruth Chris Steakhouse, Yamato, Chili's, Mi Casita, among others. Socialize visiting nightclubs, bars, clubs, try your luck in different casinos in the hotels.
During the day, go to enjoy the beautiful beach of Isla Verde, take a bath, or sunbathing, or playing your favorite sport.
Take a stroll along the beach The Alembic, found close acquaintances variety of fast food restaurants, additional supermarkets and pharmacies 24/7, selling ice cream, souvenir shops, gym, bike rental, taxi, buses and much more.
Our Island has many places of tourist interest such as: * The Old San Juan * The islands of Vieques and Culebra * Rio Camuy Cave Park * Radio Telescope / Observatory * Yunque Rainforest * The beaches of Rincon * Cabo Rojo Lighthouse * Guancha and Pump Park in Ponce * Plaza las Americas (the largest mall in the Caribbean with more than 300 stores) * Prime Outlet mall

Phil Zimmerman Launching Secure "Blackphone" 156
from the except-for-the-baseband-processor dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Even if the phone is as secure as claimed, one of the biggest violations of privacy is the collection of location data. And no security feature on the device will prevent Verizon/AT&T/etc from knowing what tower it has contacted, or providing that to any agency it wishes to.
if someone can hack your phone to turn the camera on, they can also turn the LED off
This is not necessarily true if you design this feature into the board. For instance, you can have the LED hard-wired to the camera's power supply - anytime the camera has power, the LED will be on. When the firmware wants to save power by turning the camera off, it must well and truly be off (i.e., no power applied), and not just a sleep mode.
Alternately, depending on the communications bus between the camera chip and the SoC, you can have an LED tied to one of the communications lines through some sort of buffer circuit - chip select, camera Tx, etc.
One would think that this was the way it was always done - some unambiguous way to know when the camera is active that was baked in at the board level - but apparently not.
Is your job running? You'd better go catch it!

CHICAGO (Reuters) - The company that owns the Applebee's restaurant chain said on Monday it was immediately retraining its workers nationwide after a server at a suburban Detroit location accidentally served alcohol to a toddler.
The company, California-based DineEquity Inc, said it would also change the way it serves juice to youngsters to eliminate the chance of any mixups that could result in any more tipsy toddlers.
On Friday, Taylor Dill-Reese went to an Applebee's in Madison Heights, Michigan, where -- among other things -- she ordered her 15-month-old son Dominick an apple juice.
What the little boy apparently got instead was a margarita. His mom told WDIV-TV that she only realized something was wrong when Dominick "kind of laid his head on the table and dozed off a little bit and woke up and got real happy."
The little boy reportedly began hailing strangers, too.
Applebee's released a statement on Monday saying it was relieved that Dominick was "not seriously injured as a result of accidentally receiving the wrong beverage" and apologizing to his family "for the stress and worry this caused them."
It said it would begin to serve apple juice to children only from single-serve containers at the table and would "retrain all severs on our beverage pouring policy, emphasizing that non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages must be stored in completely separate and identified containers."

Francine's Friends Mobile Mammography unit travels to various community and business sites to bring mammography screening to women at locations more convenient to their home or work.
Weather-related info:
Francine's Friends mobile mammography coach follows the same closure as Fort Wayne Community Schools for snow days - if schools are closed, the coach does not go out. Schedulers will call you to reschedule your appointment.
The mobile unit, a 40-foot long motor coach, is staffed by radiologic technologists who specialize in mammography from the Breast Diagnostic Center (BDC). The digital unit is furnished with the same FDA and Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA)-approved equipment as the three stationary sites of the BDC. Francine's Friends Mobile Mammography offers convenience and privacy for this screening test, which takes about 15 minutes.
Board-certified breast-imaging radiologists from FW Radiology interpret the exams.
Francine's Friends Mobile Mammography is a partnership between Francine's Friends, Parkview Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Breast Diagnostic Center.
A group of local businesswomen and community leaders, Francine's Friends have come together and developed a mission to make early detection of breast cancer available to every woman in Fort Wayne and the surrounding area. Our vision is to increase cancer screenings in northeast Indiana by providing a highly accessible and visible community resource.
The American Cancer Society recommends that every woman receive her first mammogram at age 40 and then each year afterward.
Screening mammography through this mobile service is for women who:
* Are age 35 and older and have not had a mammogram in the past 12 months
* Have no prior or current history of breast cancer or problems with their breasts
* Are insured or uninsured
Many insurance plans are accepted, and funding is available to cover expenses for women who do not have sufficient financial resources.
To schedule a visit of the mobile mammography coach at your site, contact Debi Kennedy, the community outreach coordinator, at (260) 266-9180 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Appointments preferably should be scheduled prior to the date. Walk-in openings are available depending on schedule.

Some hostility toward Israel is just anti-Semitic. Some hostility toward Israel is Palestinian nationalism. Some is sympathy for the Palestinians generated by an enormously successful PR campaign. And some is self-inflicted. But all of us should be concerned. The policies of the Israeli government don't represent me – nor should they. But they affect me.
From New York to Europe, Jews have faced discrimination in recent months.
In today's Congressional Corner, New York representative Nita Lowey tells WAMC's Alan Chartock that anti-Semitism is a persistent problem.
Simon and Garfunkel sang about "the sounds of silence," that moment when you want to shriek in the face of conspicuous silence. Alas, we are experiencing this condition as the West intentionally reverses its gaze from the horrors committed in the name of Allah and cannot summon the voice to say "no." We are reliving the late 1930's – 1940's when the world refused to acknowledge the bloodshed foisted by every step of jack-booted Nazis.
Did anti-Semitism play any role in the recent events in Ukraine, and Russia's annexation of the Crimea region?
The flame of anti-Zionism burns brightly at Northeastern University in Boston. On the first day of Israel Apartheid Week, Students for Justice in Palestine, a group currently on probation for violating campus policies for acts of anti-Semitism and vandalism, dispersed "evacuation" notices to students residing in the dormitories.
In the Hudson Valley, the Pine Bush Central School District and its board continue to deal with multiple issues stemming from alleged incidents of anti-Semitism.
A 2-year-old lawsuit's allegations of anti-Semitism in Pine Bush have drawn national attention.
A New York congressman and state attorney general are pledging to push for coordinated federal and state response to allegations of religious discrimination and bullying in a school district in the Hudson Valley.
At long last an attempt is being made to curtail blatant anti-Semitic commentary at American universities. The Israel Law Center warns that universities "may be liable for massive damage" if they fail to prevent anti-Semitism on campus.
The center sent hundreds of letters to university presidents drawing a line in the sand. This Israel civil rights center is carrying out this campaign in response to an alarming number of incidents against Jewish and Israeli students at U.S. universities.

Palpitation-Inducing Intimates
The Best in Lingerie
We imagine that when Dorothy Parker, the queen of witty bon mots, stated that "Brevity is the soul of lingerie," the latter (dominated as it was by lots of big girl cotton bloomers) was still in need of some "brevity." These days, we've got the world's smallest G-string, bottomless panties and the occasional starlet going full-on commando. We wouldn't recommend doing away with underwear altogether. After all, one of the joys of being a woman is dressing and dressing up, starting a well-put-together outfit with a luxe thong and sexy bra. Lingerie makes us feel seductive and powerful, whether we dress for ourselves or undress for a lover. But there's a difference between sexy and vulgar. Our list of Top 10 Sexy Lingerie brands in the world are most definitely the former. We hope you enjoy our panty raid!
Flu season is upon us! Get proactive about your health with these all-natural immune system boosters from around the world.

Niagara Falls
"Do They Make Men Like This Anymore???"
This addition to the series was Duke's story. Duke is the sheriff of the town and the last of the Grayson brothers to get married. He meets Faith when she moves into town with her aunts, little brother, and daughter. Their love develops but Faith's past begins to overshadow their future together.
This story (as well as the whole series) has so many poignant moments between the couples and the family members. They are rich stories filled with good old fashioned romances....nothing fancy.....just wonderfully written stories of love, honor, passion, laughter, justice and forgiveness. These rugged Grayson men are not afraid to meet a challenge and definitely aren't afraid to admit when they are wrong. This whole series takes takes you back to when men were gentlemen and chivalry was alive.
This series is a winner.....5 stars!
"I Bloody Well Enjoyed It"
If you are looking for a Highland story that is filled with fierce Highland warriors and damsels in distress then pass on this one because this book goes in a totally different direction.
At first I thought "Dear God, what did I get into" because I was not expecting a story that was silly, funny, and, at times, a little off the wall. As story progresses, you see our heroine, Hope, who is mischievous beyond belief and our hero, Leonce, who has to have the patience of a Saint to handle Hope's antics and her past that was filled with murder, deceit, and abuse. This is the kind of story that is cute, funny, and endearing.....yet sad at the same time.
This definitely was an unexpected change of pace for me and I bloody well enjoyed the silly fun. 4.5 Stars. Narration was great too.
"Didn't Want The Series To End!"
Many series books tend to be disappointing because the first book is great and the remaining books fall short. This series, however, delivers great stories, history, and memorable characters.
After listening to all 3 books in this series, I think I enjoyed the third book "Ride The Fire" the best. I'm not exactly sure why....I think maybe because the ending sums up everyone's life and I really didn't want it to end. Plus, I love Kaleo Griffith's narration.
If you love Historical romances - this series is a winner. ;-)
"Great Series!"
This second book in the series continues with the Blakewell/Kenleigh Family and features Jamie and Brighid. This book is filled with Irish, English, and American History that surrounds an unforgettable story filled with courage, suspense, loyalty, romance, and love.
If you love historical romances with a great story then give this series a try. I highly recommend any book by Pamela Clare.
"Wonderful Story and Narration"
How did I miss this Pamela Clare Trilogy? I don't know but I'm better late than never!
Pamela Clare's writing always has detailed history, emotional story, tender romances, and memorable characters. Kaleo Griffith's narration adds so much dimension to her stories. He manages to give each character a unique voice and his inflections are spot on. Love this author/narration combination.
I will be listening to the others in this trilogy because PC's books get better as the series progresses. I've never been disappointed with her books. :-)
"Consistently Good Writer!"
I have listened to many of Kathryn Le Veque's books and she always writes interesting stories that are emotionally charged. You can always count on her books to be filled with true to life dialog with believable challenges along the way. This book also has light humor to keep you smiling. The narration of Brad Wills adds emotion and excitement to this Medieval tale.
I recommend this story to those who enjoy a good story along with a sweet romance. ;-)
"Seems Like Laura Kinsale Had A Bad Day."
For those of you who read my reviews - you know I love Laura Kinsale's Books. Whenever one of her books comes to Audible I have to listen. I was anticipating her usual greatness for this book but I have to agree with Cam and say its not my cup of tea either.
It wasn't a total loss though. I'm convinced that LK,, even in her worst day, couldn't ever write a total dud. This book did have a good character development, story, mystery, and Nicholas Boulton narrating. I've always said he could make an okay book even better and this is proof.
If this one goes on sale give it a try. My advise for now: Listen to LK's other books and enjoy!
"Captured My Heart"
This first book in the Douglas Legacy series is a dramatic, well paced Scottish historical romance. It delivers a true "Scottish era" tale of Alison and David. Alison is a gutsy young woman who was married at 13 to a dishonorable man. Enter David, a determined Laird, who captures her castle, lands, and her heart. This story has just enough passion, danger, courage, and vengeance to keep any historical romance enthusiast entertained.
I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. ;-)
"Heartfelt Highlander"
I almost passed on this second book in the 'Clan Grant' series because the ratings were all over the scale, but I'm glad I took a chance.
This book is different than many Highlander stories in that it concentrates more on issues within the clan rather than Highland battles between clans. Its a touching story with many heartwarming scenes that, unless your heart is made of stone, are sure to bring a tear to your eye.
Quade is Laird to his clan and deeply loves his family. Brenna is a revered and dedicated healer who doesn't back down from a challenge. Their romance is sweet and progresses into a deep and tender love. The secondary characters add charm, wit, and many poignant moments to this emotional story.
This one is worth a try if you enjoy tender—heartwarming stories. ;-)
"Highland Chemistry 101"
Vonda Sinclair delivers a delightful first book in the Highland Adventure Series. I appreciate Ms Sinclair's descriptive writing style. This is a book that is written not only with words but with feeling.
This is the story of a widower, Alasdair, a strong and compassionate Highland Laird, and Gwyneth, a determined and passionate English Lady who happens to be a healer. Their relationship is built on indebtedness and progresses to a love full of sensuality and chemistry. This couple is very compatible…..in more ways than one!
If you enjoy Highland historical love stories then you will enjoy this one. I'm looking forward to the remainder in this series.
"Love Transcends Time"
This is a charming, uncomplicated time travel romance set in South Carolina during "present day" and the American "Civil War" eras. The romance between Keldon and Arianna not only has to overcome "everyday" relationship situations, but also has to deal with the limitations of a different Century, along with trust, betrayal, and doubt issues. It is a lovely "Southern" story and has just enough history (the good and bad of the civil war) to delight history lovers.
So, sit back with some sweet tea or lemonade and enjoy the travel back in time.

One of my favourite places to stay in Amsterdam. Location is brilliant, very central and easy to find and only a short walk from the railway station. The building is a beautifully converted old warehouse with a superb, tasteful modern interior. It's very comfortable with all needs catered for and Angelo is a fantastic host being very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is buffet style with lots to choose from so you can have as little or as much as you wish. Coffee is Nespresso - always a bonus for me being something of a coffee addict. There is a very small terrace on the top floor where you can smoke if you wish. Beware the steep staircase - as ever with old properties throughout Amsterdam.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Brand new Stylish and Luxurious Bed & Breakfast in the heart of Amsterdam. Our specious, tastefully furnished and decorated rooms will make your stay in Amsterdam a real treat. You can count on a perfect location and always helpful and friendly stuff. So don't hesitate and book your room today. ... more less

Mixing solid wood and hollow doors
adh673May 14, 2010
Hi, I am doing a renovation of my 1988 house. My question is, there are some rooms that I would like to be a little more soundproof- like the powder room off the kitchen. Most interior doors in my house are those cheapo 6 panel doors. Would it be totally weird to put solid doors on say the bathroom and maybe the bedrooms (its hard to slee in) and leave the hollow doors on the closets etc?
It is possible to design a solid paneled door to be effectively equal to to a flush solid-core door since most of the sound travels under the bottom anyway. A carved 1 3/4" MDF paneled door can have as much as 3/4" thickness to the flat panels. Unless you use edge and bottom seals no door is very sound proof.

My sex scenes make my wife laugh out loud: John Grisham
Author John Grisham realised that he can never write erotic fiction after his wife once burst into laughter after reading a steamy raunchy scene that he wrote for one of his novels.
"I once wrote a sex scene and gave it to her to read," the Telegraph quoted him as saying.
"I thought it was a really steamy, raunchy scene but when I sneaked into the room to try to gauge her reaction she was screaming with laughter. I mean hysterical laughter.
"'You can't write sex scenes,' she said to me. 'What do you know about sex?' So people shouldn't expect any erotic fiction from me," he said.
Grisham recommends 'Fifty shades'
In a recent interview in New York Times, Grisham, who has long been a backer of Democratic politicians, was asked: "If you could require the President Obama to read one book, what would it be?"
Grisham recommended "Fifty Shades of Grey," the racy, sex-tinged novel that has taken the book world by storm.
"Why should he miss all the fun? Plus, it might loosen him up a bit."
Meanwhile, for the second consecutive week, John Grisham's "The Racketeer" topped Publishers Weekly's bestseller list.
