Intellectual Property Rights and Economic Growth
Park, Walter G., Ginarte, Carlos, Contemporary Economic Policy
Intellectual property protection has been an international policy concern. Owners of intellectual property face risks of imitation or piracy not only in domestic markets but also in foreign, particularly in less developed, markets. Recent global negotiations have called for higher levels of intellectual property protection and for the harmonization of standards. Advocates of these measures cite potential economic benefits ranging from greater world innovation to greater trade and direct foreign investment flows (see Butler, 1990, for a survey of issues).
This paper gauges the economic benefits of increased intellectual property protection. Specifically, it examines how patent protection affects long-run economic growth. Existing empirical and theoretical works study the importance of innovation and technology to growth, but few have empirically studied the effects of the institutions that motivate innovation and technological change, such as intellectual property laws. Studying the effects of intellectual property rights (IPRs) requires having a quantitative measure of the strength of intellectual property rights in a country. This paper constructs an index of the strength of patent protection in 60 countries and uses it to determine the role of IPRs in economic growth.
The key finding is that IPRs affect economic growth by stimulating the accumulation of factor inputs like research and development capital and physical capital. The institution of IPRs does not have any direct role in explaining international variations in growth. That is, the existence of intellectual property laws does not appear to affect directly the technical efficiency of production. Instead, the benefits to growth are from encouraging the research sector to invest and take risk.
This implies that countries not conducting innovative research or conducting a limited amount would enjoy few, if any, of the benefits of intellectual property protection because an innovation sector through which IPRs affect economic growth is absent. As an analogy, consider a town with few, if any, motor vehicles. If the town passes a law against lead emissions, the law is likely to have no appreciable effect on lowering pollution levels in the region (pollution arising instead from other sources). Similarly, countries would not experience the growth effects of IPRs unless a significant domestic research base exists or unless foreign multinationals are present that transfer research knowledge into the country. Given the costs of creating an IPR system, the low returns to providing IPRs (owing to a lack of innovation) act as a disincentive to creating such a system.
Thus, countries without an innovative R&D sector (domestic or foreign-based) are likely to attach a low priority to developing an IPR infrastructure even though having an IPR system would help attract foreign research resources and possibly lead to the creation of a domestic research sector. Furthermore, countries without a domestic research base may find it difficult to justify providing IPR protection to foreigners, who seem to be the primary beneficiaries of protection, if in the short run the consequences of IPR protection are higher prices of new technologies and limited diffusion. The growth effects might appear later, but policymakers may, depending on their discount rate, perceive that the expected present discounted value of investing in a legal infrastructure is less than current costs of investing in the system plus the foregone benefits of imitation (assuming the ability to imitate foreign technologies).
While empirical growth studies emphasize the importance of knowledge accumulation (Mankiw et al., 1992; Lichtenberg, 1992; Park, 1995), none studies the importance of assigning proprietary rights to knowledge in the growth process. On the other hand, empirical analyses of intellectual property rights (Ferrantino, 1993; Mansfield, 1986, 1994) do focus on the effects of IPRs on innovation and foreign direct investment but have not linked these effects to long-run growth. …

Mayor Kevin Faulconer wasn't too popular at last night's Ocean Beach Town Council meeting during the "mayoral dialogue".
First, he didn't show.
Second, both his opponents, former-Assemblywoman Lori Saldana, and San Diego Lifeguard leader Ed Harris, trained their sights on Faulconer and not on each other.
And third, this was Ocean Beach – the liberal bastion of the city – which usually votes Democratic; Kevin Faulconer is a Republican.
But still, Faulconer used to represent Ocean Beach – and the rest of District 2 – when he sat on the City Council. And the crowd of the 80 or so good-natured souls in attendance probably would have applauded him if he had showed. But he didn't and neither did his aide, John Ly.
So the two opposing candidates – one Democrat and the other Independent – had a field day in his absence. As Town Council head Gretchen Newsom mediated the dialogue, Saldana and Harris made their opening statements and fielded questions from the Board and from the audience.

Beijing: Chinese President Xi Jinping has put himself in charge of a new body to coordinate cybersecurity, in a sign of Beijing's concern over its vulnerability to online attacks and its desire to retain tight control over the Internet. Reports in state media Friday said the central Internet security and information leading group will draft policy for boosting the country's defenses, as well as expanding and improving Internet access.
"Efforts should be made to build our country into a cyberpower," Xi was quoted as saying, calling for more innovation in the industry and improvements to Internet access and connection speeds.
Online opinion must be properly guided, while the Internet should help spread "mainstream values and positive energy," Xi said. With a population of 1.3 billion, China has 618 million Internet users, the most of any country, although much of the rural population remains gravely underserved.
"No Internet safety means no national security," Xi said, adding that without boosting Internet access there can be "no modernization."
No details were given about the group, one of several broad-based coordinating agencies nominally led by Xi and other top leaders. Reports on Thursday's inaugural meeting at which Xi delivered his remarks did not mention any specific new initiatives.
The U.S. accuses China's army and China-based hackers of launching attacks on American industrial and military targets, often to steal secrets or intellectual property. China says it likewise faces a major threat from hackers, and the country's military is believed to be among the biggest targets of the U.S. National Security Agency and the US Cyber Command.
Between January and August of last year, more than 20,000 China-based websites were hacked and more than 8 million servers hijacked by zombie and Trojan programs controlled from overseas, the head of the Cabinet's Information Office, Cai Mingzhao, told a conference in November.
Zombie and Trojan attacks were up 14 percent over the same period in 2012, Cai said. He estimated that China's economy was losing tens of billions of dollars to cyberattacks every year.
Virginia-based Internet security company Mandiant drew attention last year when it issued a detailed report tracing attacks on 141 companies to a hacking unit in Shanghai that experts believe is part of the Chinese Army's cyber command. The Chinese government denied the accusations.
Partly as a response, a US-China joint cybersecurity working group was established and has already met once to foster cooperation against third party threats. China has enthusiastically promoted the idea of international cooperation on cybersecurity, but its proposal for a set of rules governing online behaviour has been rejected by the US as opening the door to greater regulation and censorship.
China's authoritarian communist government heavily polices the Internet for content deemed politically subversive, as well as sites promoting gambling, pornography and other illegal topics. Much foreign content is blocked, including social media sites such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. However, that hasn't prevented China's government and state media outlets such as national broadcaster CCTV from maintaining a lively presence on such blocked sites.

Carrot pulp…. lets talk about carrot pulp. Have you ever made carrot juice and found yourself with a mound of carrot pulp sitting in a bowl?
Chances are it ended up in the trash or compost pile. You can actually use it in many recipes, along with the remains of other juices. The flavor is not as intense as the whole vegetable, but it is still a very useful ingredient. I have used veggie pulp in breads and in crackers.
If I don't have time to deal with the pulp right away, I simply place it in an air tight container and pop it in the fridge or freezer. I haven't tested this recipe with fresh grated carrots and you are more than welcome to try it, but keep in mind that there will be a lot more moisture to deal with, so you may need to cut down on the other liquids.
I have even gone as far as dehydrating my carrot pulp and grinding it into a flour. If you are new to raw breads, keep in mind that the textures are more on the dense side.
I have never come across a bread that I didn't like, except if it had mold on it. :) But I have to say that I always favored a dense, heavy bread. So, once I started creating raw breads I was soooo delighted in their texture and their amazing flavors. I hope you enjoy this recipe. Blessings, amie sue
P.S. I originally posted this recipe on April 17th, 2013. Today, I added some fresh photos and cleaned up my recipe writing. I have gotten so much better of the years. hehe
1 large loaf 9 x 4 x 2 1/2 tall"

Hand mix in:
One of the greatest joys when creating raw food recipes is experimenting with different ingredients… a practice that I highly encourage. Daily I get questions regarding substitutions. Of course we all might have different dietary needs and tastes which could necessitate altering a recipe. I love to share with you what I create for myself, my husband, friends and family. I spend a lot of time selecting the right ingredients with a particular goal in mind, looking to build a certain flavor and texture.
So as you experiment with substitutions, remember they are what they sound like, they are substitutes for the preferred item. Generally they are not going to behave, taste, or have the same texture as the suggested ingredient. Some may work, and others may not and I can't promise what the results will be unless I've tried them myself. So have fun, don't be afraid, and remember, substituting is how I discovered many of my unique dishes.
Hello Amie Sue,
The carrot bread looks amazing and I have finally accumulated enough pulp to make it.
I will be putting it in overnight for lunches tomorrow. If I do not have liquid or powdered stevia, what might I substitute in its place and how much? I have not had much success with stevia as the brands I have used leaves an unpleasant bitter after taste. I intend to purchase the brand you use, but have not as of yet.
Thank you in advance for what is always your very courteous and considerate response.
Oops, almost forgot. What source(s) do you use for purchasing your raw food staples. I purchase offline at Whole Foods and the health sections of some major chains, but would like to,if possible, cut cost on items such as nuts, raw butters, cocao, coconut nectar and flour, hemp, protein powders,Miso, superfoods (Maca ,Lucuma, Mesquite,spirulina,etc.) and raw oats by purchasing online or larger quantities. I go through these items it seems quite fast as they are frequently used ingredients in many of the raw food recipes I use. Your website is full of information and I that you have put time and effort in acquiring and sharing what you know. I would appreciate any feedback in response to the question and as always thank you for your teaching, and guidance for those on the path to a healthier lifestyle
Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your recipes. I made this bread yesterday and it has come out perfectly. It was very easy to make with your clear and simple instructions. My only question now is, what butter would you recommend to spread on the bread. Thanks again, absolutely love it and I will definately be trying more of your recipes in the very near future.
Hi Amie-Sue,
Just bought my dehydrator and this was the first recipe I tried. LOVED it!!
Was gobbled up in one day. Thanks so much for all your wonderful recipes. I look forward to trying many many more.
Hi Amie Sue, is there a substitute for psyllium power? Why is it used for? I will try this bread with my new Excalibur this week…
I LOVE this bread!!! It has been such a blessing to find your website and try some new recipes. We also love the raw banana bread toast sticks. The caramelized onion bread is next! Haven't had breads in so long…this is so fun. Thank you.
Hi amie-sue. I want to try some of these breads and crackers. Is there a substitute for the "almond-pulp" that I could use?
Hi, Amie-Sue ~'
I have almond meal. How can I make "moist almond pulp" out of that? I have every thing else for this recipe.

Musicians with Oklahoma ties vie for Grammys
With Kings of Leon, Carrie Underwood, Charlie Wilson and more among the nominees, Oklahoma will be represented in categories crossing several musical genres at Sunday night's Grammy ceremonies. The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards will air live from 7 to 10:30 p.m. from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on CBS. Rockers Kings of Leon boast four Grammy nominations, including nods in the cross-genre record and song of the year categories for its hit "Use Somebody." The band also is nominated for best rock song and best rock vocal performance with vocals for "Use Somebody." Kings of Leon includes three brothers —Caleb (vocals, guitar), Nathan (drums) and Jared (bass) Followill — and their first cousin Matthew Followill (lead guitar). Matthew and Nathan were born in Oklahoma City, and the Followills grew up traversing the Bible Belt between Memphis, Tenn., and Oklahoma City with the brothers' Pentecostal preacher father. Alice in Chains, which includes Jerry Cantrell, who has an Atoka ranch, is nominated for best hard rock performance for "Check My Brain," from the band's album "Black Gives Way to Blue." Several Oklahoma stars will vie for awards in the country music categories. Checotah native Carrie Underwood is nominated for best female country vocal performance for her chart-topper "Just a Dream." She will compete in the best country collaboration with vocals category for her rendition of "I Told You So" with Randy Travis. In addition, Underwood will join fellow previous Grammy winners Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson and Usher in a special 3-D tribute to the late Michael Jackson during the show. Along with Underwood, Tishomingo resident Miranda Lambert also is nominated for best female country vocal performance for her brokenhearted ballad "Dead Flowers." Duo Brooks & Dunn, which includes former Tulsan Ronnie Dunn, is nominated for best country performance by a duo or group with vocals for the tearjerker "Cowgirls Don't Cry." It could be the last nomination for the duo, since Dunn and Kix Brooks plan to end their musical partnership this year. Trio Rascal Flatts, which includes Joe Don Rooney, who grew up in Picher, also has a nomination for best country performance by a duo or group with vocals for the heartrending "Here Comes Goodbye." Tulsa native and GAP band founder Charlie Wilson boasts two nominations, for best R&B album for "Uncle Charlie" and best male R&B vocal performance for "There Goes My Baby." In the classical categories, Norman-born harpist Yolanda Kondonassis shares her first Grammy nomination with flutist Joshua Smith and violist Cynthia Phelps for best chamber music performance. The nod is for their performance of late Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu's "And Then I Knew 'Twas Wind," from their album "Air." Tom Paxton, a Bristow High School and University of Oklahoma graduate, has his rendition of "I Remember Loving You" featured on the compilation "Singing Through the Hard Times: A Tribute to Utah Phillips," which is nominated for best traditional folk album. Tulsa-born actress Alfre Woodard is nominated for co-producing "Nelson Mandela's Favorite African Folktale," a nominee for best spoken word album for children. Mason Williams, who grew up in Oklahoma City, is nominated for best historical album for "Woodstock — 40 Years On: Back to Yasgur's Farm." "My Dusty Road," a box set chronicling the career of Okemah-born songwriting icon the late Woody Guthrie, is nominated in the best historical album and best album notes categories. Among the performers, Tulsa Sound legend Leon Russell is planning to take the Grammys stage Sunday night, about after two weeks after undergoing surgery for a brain-fluid leak. The Lawton-born singer/musician is set to perform with country group Zac Brown Band, which is nominated for best new artist, best country album and best country performance by a duo or group with vocals. Going into Sunday's show, pop diva Beyonce carries a leading 10 nominations, among them, album of the year for her double CD, "I Am … Sasha Fierce," song of the year for her hit anthem "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and record of the year for "Halo." Contemporary country star Taylor Swift has eight nominations, including nods for album of the year for her sophomore CD "Fearless" and record and song of the year for "You Belong With Me."

Busy scouting for locations in the city for his next movie "Detective Byomkesh Bakshi", Dibakar Banerjee Tuesday stated that the film will be the toughest venture of his life.
"There is a plethora of challenges... it will be tremendously challenging to recreate the Calcutta of 1942, and I know it will be the toughest film of my life," Banerjee told mediapersons here.
"This will be the greatest challenge and after filming this I won't be able to take up another challenge for quite some time," he said.
The film is based on one of the 33 crime thrillers penned by famed Bengali writer Sharadindu Bandopadhyay with Byomkesh Bakshi as the protagonist between 1932 and 1970. However, the director declined to reveal the name of the specific novel on which the film is based.
Featuring Sushant Singh Rajput">Sushant Singh Rajput of "Kai Po Che!" fame as the popular detective, the movie will be set in war-torn Kolkata (then Calcutta) of 1942.
It will follow one of the first cases solved by a twenty-something Byomkesh, fresh out of college, and "an adventurous, young, and thrill-loving youth who wants to be a detective".
Banerjee clarified that the movie, unlike his previous films "Shanghai" and "Khosla Ka Ghosla" will have no message to convey to the audience.
"This will be a long-standing dream come true. This time I am just telling a story... it has no message," he said.

White Pill 244, Phenylpropanolamine 50mg Tablet???Updated
Conversation Starter
Reshonda Bourgeois Says:
I found a round white tablet with the imprint 244 on it. I believe it may be a Phenylpropanolamine 50mg tablet, but I can not seem to find an image of it any where to be certain. I have tried many different pill identification websites, with no help. The only information that I have been able to find is on this website, but it stated that this was a chewable tablet. The pill that I found is not a chewable tablet. I know that this medication comes in both chewable and regular tablet versions. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. If possible, I would love a reference to an image for this medication so that I can compare it to the pill that I have found.
Showing Replies 1 - 4 of 4
1David Says:
With the imprint being only "244" on a white pill, the closest possible match I've come across is Carvedilol (6.25 mg). This pill however is Elliptical / Oval shaped as opposed to "round", so it may not be what you're describing.
Carvedilol is used in the treatment of high blood pressure and other heart conditions, if that helps at all. Additionally, the Phenylpropanolamine photos I found are of different colors (none being white), and with no other results on my end I can only assume if Carvedilol isn't a match, that this is possibly a foreign pill (manufactured outside of the U.S.).
Did you possibly obtain this pill outside of the U.S.?

2Reshonda Bourgeois Says:
No the pill was definitley manufactured in the U.S. I'm almost positive that it is a 50mg Phenylpropanolamine, but the medication is currently on back order everywhere so I am unable to get any more at the moment to compare it to.
3MSG Says:
I was searching for the same info - I have round, slightly off-white, scored in half tablets with 244 on each half that I also believe are Proin 50mg tabs. You thinking the same thing makes me quite sure but it would be nice if it was confirmed somewhere.
4Anachem Says:
I have the same pill and I am fairly certain it's 50 mg phenylpropanolamine.

The island of Kona in Hawaii is one of the prominent holiday destinations in the Pacific Ocean. It is not only popular for its unmatched beauty but also for producing world-class coffee. The isle has many attractions to entice travelers and is a haven for all with inclination towards historically and archaeologically important sites. Consider traveling to Kona in fall, as the city comes alive with a number of festivals during this time. The months of October and November are particularly great to visit. The Ironman World Championship is held in October. This is a unique championship for all the sports lovers. It offers them opportunity to take part in a grueling, yet amazing competition, comprising of 26.2-mile marathon run, 112-mile bike race and a 2.4-mile swimming. In November, you will get opportunity to attend the month-long Kona Coffee Festival.
Kona can be visited year-round because of its temperate weather. The three national parks in the city are prime attractions. There is a national park with live as well as active volcanic eruptions. Tourists come in hordes at this park to see the Halemaumau Crater. The Hapuna Beach State Park is also great to visit. It is home to a crescent-shaped beach encircled by coco palms and pure white sands. It looks quite amazing. Punalu'u, a black-sand beach, should also be visited. Here you will find endangered sea turtles species coming for rest. Take the help of our Kona City Guide to see some of the other places on interest. These include Hulihee Palace, Mokuaikaua Church, Old Kona Airport State Recreation Area, Hualalai, Honokohau Settlement and Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park, Keauhou Holua Slide and Hale Halawai O Holualoa.
The best time to hit the island is during winter months that extend between November and March. The weather is pleasant and offers an amicable environ to relish the breeze, seas, shore and other attractions in the city. The clear skies during this period provide the tourists a great opportunity to view constellations. It's an amazing experience here. Home to a consortium of observatories, Hawaii Islands is considered to be among the premium locations in the world for viewing stars.
Amongst the top eating joints in the city, the most popular ones include Kona Brewing Company, Da Poke Shack, Big Island Grill, Splashers Grill, Bongo Ben's Island Cafe, Basik Acai, Krua Thai Cuisine, Killer Tacos, Huggo's, You Make the Roll, and Queen K Tesoro. However, whatever you eat at these restaurants, your dining will never be complete unless you have a cup of Kona coffee. It's a must for every visitor and surely a perfect way to finish your awesome meals.
United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Hawaiian Airlines connect the island of Kona with mainland United States. American Airlines, Lufthansa, and Alitalia offer flights to several European cities from the island of Kona.
Travelers can easily find cheap hotels in Kona. Some of the neighborhoods that offer discounted accommodation include Palani Road, Alii Drive, Ehukai Street, and Kaupulehu Drive.

What: Jim Noir, by Jim Noir
When: Tuesday afternoon, and ever six hours since.
Where: Right here (desk)
Why: I found this gem in a bin in music ed Brian Barr's office while hunting for almonds. I settled for the record.
Hear the (Barsuk) Record: When it drops on April 8
Free MP3: Don't You Worry
Download: "All Right," "Welcome CJ"
Go to the store for: "Good Old Vinyl"
Notes: Oh, hell, there's nothing to hate about the smug Jim Noir. He's just so damn poppy and lovable. He opens the record with a one-minute barrage of noise, "Welcome Commander Jameson," which leads right into "All Right," a 21st Century tribute to Brian Wilson.
This self-titled ditty is the second time I've heard from this Barsuk busker. The first was "Tower of Love," featuring "Eanie Meany" and "My Patch," licensed to Adidas and Target, respectively. In fact, I have a hunch that the former was one of the most heard songs across the globe in 2006, considering the fact that it the Adidas ad was spun so heavily during earth's most popular televised event(s): World Cup.
More radio, er, TV-ready material here. If "What You Gonna Do," with the "What you gonna do when I find you?" chorus hasn't already been snatched up by eBay, Ask.com, or Amazon, I'll eat my hat.

Preventive health care is important at any age, but never more so than as we get older. Many of the major cancers that can be screened for – such as breast and colorectal cancer – are typically diagnosed at about age 70.
After age 55, people have a 90 percent chance of developing high blood pressure, putting them at higher risk for heart disease and stroke.
"The payoff in terms of prevention in geriatrics is more upfront and more immediate," says geriatrician Peter Hollmann, chairman of the public policy committee for the American Geriatrics Society.
Starting in January, the new health-care law will make it easier and cheaper for seniors to get preventive care. Medicare beneficiaries will be able to receive for free all preventive services and screenings that receive an A or B recommendation for seniors from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
That includes mammograms and colorectal cancer screening, bone mass measurement and nutritional counseling for people at risk for diet-related chronic diseases such as diabetes.
Medicare beneficiaries will also get a free annual wellness visit under the new law. The visit will cover a number of services, including a health risk assessment and a review of the person's functional and cognitive abilities.
The goal is to identify and to address declines in physical or mental capacity early on, say experts – before someone takes a fall, for example, or starts to forget to pay his bills.
Currently, seniors in traditional Medicare pay 20 percent of the cost for most covered preventive services. The new requirements for free preventive coverage don't apply to enrollees in Medicare Advantage plans, although many of those plans already offer free preventive services.
Cost can be a big stumbling block to getting preventive care.
A co-payment of just $12 for a mammogram in Medicare's managed-care plans resulted in screening rates that were 8 to 11 percentage points lower than those for women in plans that didn't require a co-payment, according to a 2008 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Another study found that an increase of $10 in a co-payment for physician office visits led to a 20 percent decline in appointments among elderly patients.
"A lot of these screenings aren't something somebody wakes up and says, 'Wow, I'm going to have a flexible sigmoidoscopy today,' " says Cheryl Matheis, senior vice president for health strategy at AARP.
To encourage seniors to get that test, one of a number of approved screenings for colorectal cancer, and other important preventive services, "we have to educate people about the value and then eliminate the cost and make it convenient," she says.
The new law envisions the free annual wellness visit as an opportunity for seniors to develop a "personalized prevention plan" with their physician and plot out appropriate services and screenings for the next five to 10 years.
There hasn't been much research on people in their 80s or older, so it's hard to calculate the risk/benefit ratio of preventive tests and screenings in this group, say experts.
"It gets a little murky when people get older," says Hollmann. Among other things, "you have to consider their practical life expectancy."
Many people who work with seniors hope the annual wellness visit will provide an opening to also discuss preventive activities not covered by Medicare.
Many of the major cancers that can be screened for – such as breast and colorectal cancer – are typically diagnosed at about age 70.
Many of the major cancers that can be screened for – such as breast and colorectal cancer – are typically diagnosed at about age 70.
Some insurance plans offer their own programs that encourage "healthy aging." Eight years ago, Tom Cajski joined the Kaiser Permanente Senior Summit program at a clinic near his home in Kailua, on the island of Oahu in Hawaii.
Among other things, the program aims to stay in touch with seniors who are relatively healthy and don't visit clinics often to make sure they're getting the preventive care they need, says Sandi Brekke, who runs the program.
Every month, members attend lectures or demonstrations on health topics from foot care to acupuncture. Twice a year they get physical evaluations to test their strength, flexibility and balance, among other things.
Cajski, 73, says he thinks the program helps him take better care of his health.
"I'm surrounded by people who give me health hints and keep me thinking about something that would otherwise recede," he says.
Advocates for seniors say the new law's provisions make it clear that prevention is important at any age. And about time, too.
"It's awfully nice to see Medicare catch up to where the rest of the world has been for some time," says Hollmann.

We live in a small 1 bedrm house. DS is in the tiny office turned nursery. Our bedroom and the nursery are on different floors of the house. When I was out on maternity leave I slept in a twin bed in the nursery - DS was in a crib. I did this because DH was working and I didn't want him to be woken up all the time at night. I was breastfeeding so there was nothing DH could really do anyway. I am back to work now and I just started sleeping back in our bedroom. I had gotten a baby monitor for deaf people that vibrates. I haven't used it though because if it vibrated during the night I would have no idea if DS was coughing in his sleep or mumbling or screaming his head off. I would have to get up each time it vibrated and go upstairs to check on him. So I got a regular baby monitor and I turn the volume up all the way so I can hear it. But now my DH complains that he can hear every little sound from the nursery and it's keeping him awake. I just got a video monitor that I ordered online and plan to set it up this weekend.
What do deaf parents do for a baby monitor? I need something that will alert me but won't disturb my DH too much.
Is there anything else that will come up down the road that I should be aware of?
I already have trouble understanding/hearing little kids when they talk and I am afraid that I won'tunderstand my DS when he starts talking :-(
I would love to make contact with any deaf or hard of hearing parents on here that I can ask questions of when things like this come up.

This group is for the model photography enthusiast in the Bay Area; beginner and advanced, looking to expand their portfolio. Why I started this group: I do location and themed shoots on my own. However, things can get costly. So perhaps to help solve this issue, I decided to announce my upcoming shoots here. If you likes the current concept or theme and want to chip in, you can RSVP and join me. You can also suggest a theme for the next shoot.
We'll stick with the group shoot format we're familiar with, but with a much fewer number of participants, just enough to lower the costs. Costs, of course, will depend on the type of shoot.

Peppers, Kiedis celebrate with energetic show
Anthony Kiedis is living proof that 50 is the new 20.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman turned a half-century-old in Milwaukee Thursday, celebrating the occasion with his band and a primarily full BMO Harris Bradley Center. Initially wearing a formal black jacket with tails, it wasn't long before he was shirtless. And very rarely, if at all Thursday, was he still - whether he was spinning around like a karate master caught in a cyclone or busting out his own interpretation of PSY's "Gangnam Style" galloping horse shuffle - and those moves were during just one song, "Around The World." (Fans brought their own special moves as well, at least in section 407 where I sat; at one point, I found myself completely smashed between two full-body dancers with no concept of personal space.) »Read Full Article(6)

Jim DeVita paints portrait of Rothko in Forward Theater's 'Red'
Madison — Before becoming one of the last century's great artists, Mark Rothko thought hard about a career as an actor, and he habitually referred to his pictures as "dramas." In his Tony-winning "Red," John Logan brings that drama on stage.
Madison's Forward Theater has now brought "Red" to Wisconsin, where it opened Friday night under Laura Gordon's direction, in an 85-minute, intermission-free production featuring Jim DeVita as Rothko and Nate Burger as Ken, Rothko's young, fictionalized assistant. »Read Full Article(1)

The move is expected next week. It will allow the cafe to expand deli seating by about 20, up from the current five, so more guests can linger over coffee and laptops if they don't wish to sit in the full-service dining room. It also will expand its lineup of prepared foods for takeout. »Read Full Blog Post

|Patent application number
|MANUFACTURING PROCESS FOR SURGE ARRESTER MODULE USING PRE-IMPREGNATED COMPOSITE - An electrical module assembly used in a surge arrester is manufactured by wrapping an electrical module assembly including at least one metal oxide varistor (MOV) disk to which a reinforcing structure including a pre-impregnated epoxy/glass-fiber composite has been applied with shrink film and compacting the wrapped electrical module assembly by heating the shrink film such that the shrink film shrinks and applies a radially compressive force to the electrical module assembly. The wrapped electrical module assembly then is cured at a temperature at which the shrink film no longer applies a compressive force.

Paramedics respond quickly
October 18, 2013
WHEELER ARMY AIRFIELD, Hawaii (Oct. 18, 2013) -- Quick action by a pair of Wheeler Federal Fire Department professionals has been recognized for heroic work that saved a man's life.
Firefighter/paramedics Anthony Young and Jonathan Rodriguez were awarded the Federal Fire Life Saving Award by Col. Daniel Whitney, commander, U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii, as a result of their actions, Aug. 12.
The pair happened upon an unresponsive man in a minor traffic accident, while returning to quarters from an ambulance transport in downtown Wahiawa, in August.
The 51-year old man was locked in his car, with the engine running, doors locked and gearshift engaged.
"It was pretty obvious he was not doing well," said Rodriguez, a five-year veteran of the force.
Rodriguez and Young immediately recognized the situation and went into action. They donned their professional gear from their Medic 14 (M-14) advance life support transport ambulance and forced their way into the unconscious man's vehicle. They gained access by breaking the driver's side rear window.
After quickly extricating the patient, they administered advanced cardio life support measures with the M-14. Moments later, on-scene support arrived from Engine 114 and Wheeler Federal Fire.
The man, who had contacted relatives and was enroute to Wahiawa General Hospital when he went into cardiac arrest earlier, had driven his car to the highway curb before he was successfully resuscitated and delivered to the awaiting hospital.
Wheeler Federal Fire officials estimate the accident, car access, resuscitation and hospital delivery all occurred within less than 20 minutes.
"Time was critical," said Lt. John Makua, Wheeler Fire Station, Federal Fire Department. "Everyone did their part."

Hello Everybody,
My 14 month old doesn't walk still and am getting worried now. Genaral timeline is around 12 - 15 m and he still doesn't show any signs of doing it. He started cruising from his 11 months onwards and he is still not taking his steps. His speech also didn't improve much from his 11th month. He stiil has the same 4 to 5 words. But I admit that his receptive language is improving day by day. He is very social, plays appropriately with his toys, points and understands few commands and a very happy baby. But the delay with walking and talking is really worrying me. His pediatrician is not worried as of now and said some kids are late bloomers and lets wait till he hits his 18th month. But my concern is he had been hitting his milestones till his 11th month fine. And we never expected this much delay in walking. Also during his 12m check up ped saw him doing a w sitting and he asked us to correct it whenever we see him doing so. we definitely don't see any red flags considering autism. But If he is not concentrating on walking and talking then what is he concentrating on?
Sometimes these milestones really bother me alot and being a first time mom i am not able to conclude if it is a problem or a delay.
Anybody there facing with similar sort of issues?
