This textbook should be a welcome addition to the libraries of otolaryngologists and pediatricians. The character of otolaryngological practice has changed greatly during the past generation because of the advent of sulfonamides, antibiotics, and antihistaminic drugs, and this has brought with it fresh emphasis on congenital defects, infantile otitis media, defective hearing and speech, the auditory and vocal rehabilitation of deaf children, and infections of the respiratory tract. Within the domains of otology, the relatively new science of audiology has developed. Readers of this book should find the chapters on congenital abnormalities of the ear, nose, face, esophagus, and lower respiratory tract useful and the chapters on deafness in childhood, the training and education of deaf children, defective speech in childhood, and thyroglossal cysts and fistulas informative. This book is highly recommended.

I have heard great and horrible stories about Mirena. Are you planning to breastfeed? You may be lucky and not get your period for 1+years. I was unlucky and mine returned at 9-10 weeks both times. On the bright side, my periods are much lighter with less painful cramping (used to throw-up due to the pain). Between kids we tracked periods and used condoms. I refused to do any hormones since I was breastfeeding. After DS when we both decided we were ready, DH got a vasectomy. No more worries for either of us, YAY.
If you do get the Mirena, just watch yourself closely for mood changes.

Its time to untangle the Christmas lights. Every year, we pull endless strands from the attic, only to find half of them not working.
When I was a kid, my dad just bought packs of giant bulbs, and it was our job to swap out the duds. Now we throw the strands away and buy more. Its such a waste.
Light pollution, however, is wasting energy on unnecessary light. Incandescent bulbs, like the old-fashioned Christmas lights, use only 10 percent of incoming energy to produce light. The rest is wasted on heat. Try to change one when it burns out. But light pollution isnt just about energy waste. Urban sky glow washes out starry skies, light trespasses into neighboring yards, and glare can reduce nighttime visibility. In the Lowcountry, light pollution has a direct impact on sea turtle hatchlings.
The International Dark-Sky Association has established guidelines to reduce light pollution (www.darksky.org). IDA-approved fixtures are hooded to direct light toward the ground to minimize waste and reduce sky glow. Although holiday lighting and low-voltage landscape lighting are exempt from these regulations, a maximum of 1,600 lumens is allowed outdoors on residential properties. Regardless, low-voltage landscape lights output is less than 1,600 lumens.
Were accustomed to wattage when describing bulb illumination because, for the past two centuries, weve used incandescent lights. Even though we know how bright an incandescent 60-watt bulb will be, wattage is a measure of electrical power, not illumination. Lumens is the measure of light relevant to humans.
Halogen bulbs, improved incandescent bulbs, are commonly used in low-voltage lighting. A 10- or 20-watt halogen light will produce a warm spectrum of light suitable for up-lighting most medium-size trees. A 20-watt halogen generates about 350 lumens. A 35-watt halogen would be used to up-light a large tree, and that generates 650 lumens.
Incandescent bulbs are being phased out by the curly designed fluorescent bulbs, otherwise known as compact fluorescent lights (CFL). While they are much more energy-efficient, they contain mercury. If you read the cleanup procedures for a broken CFL, you might get nervous. Fluorescents, though, arent commonly used in low-voltage landscape lighting.
In the past couple of years, light-emitting diodes have emerged in popularity. Many Christmas lights are LEDs. They are extremely energy-efficient, converting 90 percent of input energy into light. A 6- to 8-watt LED will generate about 800 lumens, equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent. In other words, it uses 7.5 times less power to produce the same amount of light. While they are significantly more expensive, the cost can be offset over time.
Solar lights use LEDs precisely because they are energy efficient. Most solar lights, however, operate more like beacons of light and lack the ability to illuminate a tree or sidewalk. The solar panel also requires full sun. That can be difficult if lights are located in shade.
Until recently, halogens have ruled landscape lighting systems. For a halogen lighting system, a 300-watt transformer (power supply) would adequately light many residential properties. In theory, this can power 30 10-watt halogen lights. In actuality, its less than that due to voltage drop and transformer efficiency. While halogens are still popular, LEDs are becoming relevant. Compare a 3-watt LED to a 10-watt halogen that has the equivalent lumen output. Theoretically, 100 3-watt LEDs can be used on the same 300-watt transformer. However, only 30 3-watt LEDs are needed to get the same lumen output; therefore, a less expensive 100-watt transformer can be used. Money also can be saved with LEDs because smaller gauge wire can be used.
One criticism of LEDs is the light quality. While halogens provide warm light, LEDs can be harshly white. But even this has improved as filters have been used to alter LED output quality as good as halogens. And those Christmas lights you pull out of the attic? Probably LEDs.

An appeals court as ruled that pro-life pregnancy centers in Maryland do not have to post disclaimers that they don't provide abortions or birth control.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond ruled in favor of Greater Baltimore Center for Pregnancy Concerns, the Archbishop of Baltimore and a Roman Catholic Church.
The court struck down two ordinances that required pregnancy counseling centers to post signs, indicating they don't provide those services.
"At a time when religious freedom is being challenged on many fronts, this ruling represents a major victory for the First Amendment," Archbishop William Lori said in response to the verdict.
Centro Tepeyac Women's Center also won its challenge to a Montgomery County ordinance, requiring the center to say it doesn't have a medical professional on staff and encouraging women who may be pregnant to seek medical advice.

Lindsey Vonn reportedly flies to Vail in Tiger Woods' jet after injury
SALZBURG, Austria — Tiger Woods provided his private jet to injured skier Lindsey Vonn so she could fly out of Austria after her devastating crash earlier this week, according to a report.
TMZ was the first to report that Vonn, who's rumored to be Tiger's new girlfriend, boarded a jet bound for Vail in Salzburg Friday morning.
Vonn, whose divorce from ex-husband Thomas Vonn was finalized last month, has claimed she and Tiger are "just friends."
Vonn was competing at the Alpine World Championships in Schladming on Tuesday when she lost her balance and skidded into a gate at top speed. Following the accident, Vonn was airlifted to a nearby hospital where she was treated for injuries to her knee and shinbone.

Jamarish J. Heard, 32, and Nicole M. Robinson, 35, tried to walk out of the store near the intersection of Bay and Tittabawassee on the afternoon of Sunday, Feb. 17, with two iPads and a laptop, but several employees surrounded them near the doorway and took back the items, police said.
"Surveillance video showed the suspects walking through the building and attempted to leave and the staff gathered around them," Saginaw Township Police Department Lt. Gary Grauf said.
The altercation moved outside where one of the suspects pushed a loss prevention employee to the ground, causing minor injuries, before running to a car parked outside and fleeing the scene, Grauf said.
Buena Vista Township police spotted the suspect vehicle, a dark colored Ford, southbound on Interstate 75 shortly after the incident and arrested both suspects after pulling the car over, police said.
Heard and Robinson were arraigned by Saginaw County District Judge Terry L. Clark, who set $25,000 bonds for each of them. Both remain jailed.
They're charged with unarmed robbery and possessing burglar tools. The robbery charge carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.
Robinson's address in court records is in Kentwood, while Heard's is in Grand Rapids but was in Kentwood.
They're scheduled for a March 6 preliminary hearing before Chief District Judge M. Randall Jurrens.
Grauf said the incident was elevated from a retail theft to a robbery (or strong-arm robbery) when one of the suspects pushed the employee.
Best Buy employees told police that the woman had an iPad mini and another iPad inside of her purse when she tried to leave and the male had a laptop hidden under his coat, Grauf said. The items were recovered before the suspects left the store.
A Best Buy spokesperson said it is against the company's policy to release security camera footage to the media.

Pat Cuneo: Harkins' budget instincts correct
State Rep. Pat Harkins was right. Several months ago, Harkins urged his colleagues in the state Legislature to take the troubled state budget to the people in a series of public meetings.
The idea was simple: Given a massive deficit, why not get people's opinions on programs, cuts and spending priorities. Others in the House wouldn't buy it, nor attempts to adopt a six-month budget amid legitimate fears the state could run out of money by January. Partisan politics prevailed.
The budget process, which should have started in early March, Harkins said, was so dysfunctional that it wasn't discussed seriously until late June, and Democrats were shut out of the talks.
"We didn't even get a printout until 20 minutes before the vote," Harkins said.
Legislators are to return to Harrisburg for a three-day session starting Aug. 4, and it won't be pretty. Gov. Tom Corbett, down 22 percentage points to Democratic nominee Tom Wolf in the latest statewide poll in the race for governor, has angered his own party. So how many will step forward to help him as the campaign heats up?
- Watching the talented racehorses of nationally acclaimed trainer H. Graham Motion this summer has been a wonderful treat in races at Presque Isle Downs & Casino.
Motion's skills were never so evident as Sunday night when his horses won two of the bigger stakes races of the year, the $75,000 Northern Fling Stakes (Star Pearl) and the $75,000 LeMatt Stakes (Edge of Reality), and a third horse (I'll Call) won a $32,000 allowance race.
In a recent visit to Erie, Motion said he was impressed with the tapeta racing surface at Presque Isle Downs, where he has several horses stabled. He also praised the groomed condition of the track.
"That's why I'm here," Motion said, referring to the surface that is also used at his home track in Maryland, Laurel Park Racecourse.
Motion, 50, is noted most for his 2011 Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom, and is among several excellent trainers at Presque Isle Downs.
He doesn't make it to Erie often, but he mingled easily with many in the crowd on his recent trip, like Jeff Hedlund, the first to spot him.
"It's not easy flying into Erie," Motion said, "and it's expensive."
- Presque Isle Downs did a remarkable turnaround to feature larger fields in its horse races for about a month before reverting to a number of very small races last Wednesday and Thursday. The relapse disappointed and confused many fans.
- The death of Bob Sharples came as a blow to those of us who worked with him at the paper for many years.
As the composing room foreman for the old Morning News for many years, Bob knew the printing business inside and out. He ran a tight ship with often impossible deadlines, but he helped us again and again when we launched new publications, especially Showcase and SportsWeek.
Many of us also had a lot of laughs with Bob over the years, whether we were playing softball, a round of golf or battling in the old Morning News bowling league, which had a season that lasted roughly 15 months a year, or so it seemed.
Bob gave of his time generously and showed great courage while suffering from serious illnesses these past several years.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Bob's wife, Kathy, and their terrific children, Lisa Sorensen and Rob Sharples.

Baths and Bathing in Late Antiquity
A PhD project funded by Cardiff University and the School of History, Archaeology and Religion and co-supervised by Dr. Shaun Tougher and Prof. Josef Lössl
Project student: Michal Zytka
Note: This project has been successfully completed in August 2013.
The aim of this project was to explore different roles played by Roman baths and bathing in Late Antiquity including cultural and therapeutic functions as described in a broad range of literary sources.
The project started with the question what baths actually were, their general functions and internal layout, their technical infrastructure, their sizes and locations within cities, towns or military camps (or indeed outside them) and similarities and differences in their functions and roles. The focus was on authors such as Vitruvius, Suetonius and Procopius and on baths at chosen locations (Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, Pompeii, Bath, and military outposts in general).
This was followed by an analysis of hygienic and therapeutical aspects of baths based on medical writings (types of baths; properties of water in general; different types of water, natural springs and their therapeutic benefits; and predominantly, cures involving bathing). The range of authors included Hippocrates, Galen, Oribasius, Aetius of Amida and Paul of Aegina (author of the most widely read compendium of medical knowledge, the Epitomae medicae libri VII, esp. books I-IV).
The project also considered cultural and religious aspects of baths and bathing, the bath as a centre for local and general culture; types of cultural activity encountered on the premises; links between baths and pagan cults; the place of baths in Christian society; the role of baths in the Church Fathers' writings; and consideration of various other activities that took place in bathing establishments.
Finally, an attempt was also made to draw some comparison between ancient and modern functions and aspects of baths, and possibly a comparison between Roman baths and baths in other times and cultures (e. g. Slavic, Viking, Turkish baths). Here the focus was mostly on cultural and medical aspects.
The project was successfully completed in August 2013 with the award of a PhD to Michal Zytka. Publications will follow in due course.

MRO Approaches Mars
On Friday, March 10, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) will reach Mars, having traveled 300 million miles since its launch on August 12, 2005. The next portion of its journey – Mars Orbit Insertion – will be difficult, says Doug McCuistion, NASA Mars Exploration Program Director. The orbiter will loop around the planet, firing onboard rockets to slow its speed enough to be gravitationally captured by Mars. If the attempt fails, the spacecraft could crash after dipping too low into the atmosphere, or fly right past the planet it was meant to investigate.

"Orbiters seem like they might be the easiest thing to do," says McCuistion. "But in reality, (NASA) only has about a 65 percent success rate of getting orbiters into orbit. Whereas landers, we have about an 80 percent success rate of getting them on the surface." He adds that, if you factor in the attempts made by other countries, the success rate for Mars orbiters is even lower, about 40 percent.
MRO will approach the southern pole of Mars and then fire its thrusters at 1:25 Pacific Standard Time Friday, March 10. After 21 minutes, MRO will go behind the planet and mission scientists will lose contact with the spacecraft for 30 minutes. Six minutes after this loss of contact, the rockets should stop firing automatically, having decreased the speed of the spacecraft by 18 percent.
The spacecraft should swing back around Mars and re-establish Earth contact at 2:16 pm PST. Mission scientists will need an additional 30 minutes to determine whether the spacecraft has been captured by Mars gravity.

"We're getting into the dangerous portion of the mission," says Jim Graf, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project Manager from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "Now we're starting to enter into the realm where we've lost two spacecraft in the last 15 years."
If MRO does begin to orbit Mars as planned, it will take six months for the spacecraft to decrease its 35-hour, highly elongated orbit to a more circular, 2-hour one. The spacecraft will use an aerobraking technique to get into this final orbit, dragging its body against the martian atmosphere so that the resulting friction slows the spacecraft down.
If successful, MRO will join the three other spacecraft currently orbiting the Red Planet: NASA's Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) and Mars Odyssey, and the European Space Agency's Mars Express.
MRO's 10-foot diameter dish antenna can transmit data to Earth at approximately 10 times the rate of any previous Mars mission. Ultimately, MRO is expected to send 34 terabits of data to Earth. In addition to its communications system, MRO has six science instruments. The HiRISE camera will provide extremely detailed images of the martian surface.

"If you had HiRISE in New York, you could look over at Washington and count the number of people visiting the Mall," says Michael Meyer, Mars Lead Scientist at NASA Headquarters.
MRO also has a radar sounder to peek beneath the surface and look for water ice or even liquid water. Scouting out hidden water reservoirs will help us better understand if Mars could ever have harbored life.
"Since Mariner 4, we've learned that Mars was once warmer and wetter," says Meyer, "but when and for how long remains to be the central question in understanding the biological potential of Mars."
MRO will provide information about the polar landing site for the Phoenix lander, which is scheduled to head to Mars next year. In addition, MRO will help look for the best possible sites for the next mars rover: the Mars Science Laboratory, scheduled for launch in 2009.
Besides the radar and high-resolution camera, the other science instruments onboard MRO include a spectrometer to identify minerals and water-related deposits, a weather camera, and an infrared sounder to monitor atmospheric temperatures and the movement of water vapor.
"MRO will be multi-tasking," says Meyer. "It's going to be a weather satellite, it's going to be a surveyor – able to identify geological features, minerals, the subsurface structure – it's going to be a communications relay, and a guide to the next decade of exploration."

The two little rovers Spirit and Opportunity are still exploring Mars today, and MRO potentially can help transmit some of their data. MRO also could help the rovers figure out where to go next by providing detailed maps. The HiRISE camera on MRO could not only help the rovers navigate unfamiliar terrain, it may even be able to snap photos of the rovers themselves.
MRO will start operating its scientific instruments in November, and will gather science data for two years. After that, the spacecraft will be used primarily as a communications relay to support other missions. It has enough fuel in the tank to orbit Mars for nearly ten years.

The Amarillo Bulls are known as a third-period team, often waiting until the final 20 minutes to get it together and win.
On Friday, the Bulls waited until the final 4.4 seconds.
The timely Bulls cut it close again as forward Tyler Deresky scored late, giving Amarillo a thrilling 3-2 win over the Corpus Christi IceRays before a crowd of 1,914 at Cal Farley Coliseum.
With a North American Hockey League South Division title and home-ice advantage already wrapped up, perhaps the Bulls were a little complacent against Corpus Christi, which would be understandable unless you are Bulls head coach Dennis Williams.
"I'm always concerned about that. It gets tough at this age. You've got players where you have to figure out — what is their pride," said Williams, whose team has outscored opponents, 99-36, in the third period. "Some guys have locked up scholarships. You hope internally that they can put aside their own ego and do what's right.
"Before they know it, they're going to be playing college hockey and they're going to miss that junior experience. Being able to leave here as a winner is something we want to make sure they are able to do."
The Bulls left a winner Friday thanks to Deresky's 14th goal, a shot set up from a face-off past IceRays goaltender Anthony Stolarz, who played well despite the loss, stopping 48 of 51 shots.
"(Bulls forward Mike) Erickson drove wide and fed me back post, and I just had a hard stick on the ice," said Deresky. "We are a third period team, and that is kind of unfortunate because we have the potential to play 60 full minutes. When we choose to play we're a good team. It took four seconds left in the game to show it."
A loss would have been Amarillo's first against the IceRays this season.
Amarillo improved to 5-0-2 against the IceRays, a team they could meet in the opening round of the playoffs.
"Four seconds left — that is a little too tight for me," Williams said. "The guys found a way. I told them they did a great job on the draw. Our wingers got engaged and went in there hard on it. We scored a goal because we went to that back post. Those are the dirty, tough goals. We finally go hard to the net, and good things happened.
"This time of the year, we'll take the wins and move on."
Bulls 3, IceRays 2
Corpus Christi 0 1 1 — 2
Amarillo 1 0 2 — 3
First period — 1, Amarillo, Greg Gibson (John Gustafsson, Brandon Lubin) 0:13.
Second period — 2, Corpus Christi, Chris Taff (Beau Walker, Zach Tatrn) 1:31.
Third period — 3, Amarillo, Greg Gibson (Joe Kozlak, Brandon Lubin) 3:45; 4, Corpus Christi, Jonathan Grebosky (pp) (Beau Walker, Frank Misuraca) 9:38; 5, Amarillo, Tyler Deresky (Mike Erickson, Clint Carlisle) 19:56.
Shots — Corpus Christi 5-9-5 — 19. Amarillo 15-16-20 — 51. Penalties/minutes — Corpus Christi 3 for 6. Amarillo 3 for 6. Powerplays/opportunities — Corpus Christi 1 for 3. Amarillo 0 for 3. Goaltenders — Corpus Christi, Anthony Stolarz (22-18-4) 51 shots-48 saves. Amarillo, Mike Taffe (19-3-3) 19 shots-17 saves. A — 1,914.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- The future of the Tropicana Casino and Resort is more uncertain than ever.
On Wednesday, New Jersey regulators froze the sale process of the troubled casino for at least two weeks while parties including the state Supreme Court, a Delaware bankruptcy court, the former owners and bond holders all tussle over what should be done with the property.
Gary Stein, the retired state Supreme Court justice overseeing the Tropicana as trustee until it can be sold, would have had until Thursday to sell the casino.
But the state Casino Control Commission put everything on hold until the situation becomes clearer, mainly because the New Jersey Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal by the former owners, Tropicana Entertainment LLC, claiming the commission wrongly revoked their casino license last December.
The commission prohibited Stein from selling the casino to anyone -- or even continuing the process of lining up a sale -- until the commission's next meeting on Oct. 29.
Stein has tapped Baltimore developer The Cordish Company as a potential buyer for the Tropicana in a bankruptcy court auction for $700 million. Other parties could still submit higher bids.
Commission Chairwoman Linda Kassekert said the commission will argue before the Supreme Court that it acted properly in revoking the Tropicana's license due to 11 months of poor performance by subsidiaries of Kentucky-based Columbia Sussex Corp. The company laid off nearly 1,000 workers, leaving the casino and hotel dirty and understaffed, and didn't follow some state gambling regulations.
No timetable for a decision by the high court was given, making it likely that the Tropicana might not be sold until well into 2009.
The battle for the Tropicana is being fought on many fronts, including the Delaware bankruptcy court, where Tropicana Entertainment LLC ended up after losing their New Jersey casino.
The company also plans to ask the casino commission to return control of the casino to it, arguing it has purged elements that commission found unsuitable to be licensed. The company says owner William Yung III has signed away his right to control or influence the company, and new managers and a new board of directors has been appointed.

Pear Tree Greetings just launched a new Baby Collection. How fitting! It coincides with my Double Blessing baby shower that will be coming up at the end of the month. I made my son's baby announcements, but sadly never sent them out beyond close family. With the twins, I will definitely be ordering some!
I have to say that some of these items are SO cute! You will surely be able to find a cute way to announce your precious little one.
Not only do they categorize the announcements by gender, but they also have a multiples category. Since we are having twins, I found a few that I really liked (the great thing about these is you can pick the background color you want!):
This is my favorite! I really like the pink and green, which would work well for the girls. It has a picture on the front and you just view the names at first, fold up the photo and you can place 2 more additional photos and post your information. These are $1.66 a piece or as little as $1.16, but oh so cute to me, regardless of the price!
I would say this is my second favorite. I love the style of the announcement in the middle. These are very affordable at $1 each or as little as 65 cents!
If you're looking to keep a multiple announcement separate, but 'together', this is a unique way to make that happen. These invitations are between the cost of the other two, but are still very affordable at $1.31 or as little as 80 cents.
Of course, not only does Pear Tree Greetings offer baby announcements, but there is a large variety of Baby Shower Invitations, Baptism & Christening Invitations, Baby Thank You Cards or Baby Shower Thank You Cards, Baby Address Labels and more! What better than to get everything you need in one place!
If you need help taking the perfect photo of baby for your announcements, the Pear Tree Greetings blog has great tips and tricks!
Special Offers:

Historical Traveler Reviews Crowne Plaza Los Angeles International Airport Hotel
Stay next door
Its $11 to park the car...and the whole process of getting in and out of the parking garage is crazy. For a hotel of this size, there is not enough people working the desk. The carpet in the room was in bad shape, and the lady ahead of me was complaining about the carpet in her room as well. On the other hand, it is quiet for having the planes fly right by your window. And it is convenient. But there are several other hotels on Century Blvd. that I would stay at next time. Its not up to par with other Crowne Plazas I have stayed at in the past.
The best pre-flight stop we have had
We stayed here on 9 March 2004 before our flight back to London next day. It has to be the best value for money hotel stay we have ever had. We have absolutlely no criticism of any aspect of the hotels facilities which we used . Our room was spacious and comfortable. The bistro type dining on the ground floor suited our needs for light, pre-flight eating perfectly. We were able to extend our check-out time by 3 hours without charge for a later departure. Free Courtesy Shuttle to the Terminal. All for $69/?39 . We wonder sadly why we can't get deals like this in the UK and the rest of Europe.
Rooms seemed old and need updating
I stayed at this hotel in January and was quite unimpressed with the room. It seemed like it needed a major overhall especially the bathrooms. The walls are paper thin and we could hear planes and EVERYTHING that was going on in the room next door. We stayed 2 years ago at the LAX Radisson and were very satisfied with their hotel which has been totally redone.
Much to my surprise, I recommend it...
I needed to go to LA on the cheap and got a great package on Hotwire including a stay at the Crowne Plaza by the airport. I fully expected to get what I paid for. I've never stayed at an airport hotel and was dreading the experience. However, the Crowne Plaza was actually really nice. It was quiet, the staff was pleasant, and it had a surprisingly nice decor. (The rooms didn't have any 80s teal or mauve textiles -- I lost the bet on that one.) Best things? Watching the planes going RIGHT by our window (like I said, you can't hear them, so it's very surreal and fun) and ordering pizza from room service (they have an EXCELLENT pizza place in the hotel). If you need to stay by the airport (or want to save some money), this is a really nice hotel. I'd highly recommend it.
Terrible Stay
I had booked the hotel through Hotwire and cost me about 50 bucks. I only had to stay there for a few hours because of my flight schedule.
When I checked in, I told the hotel rep that I was checking out early.
He told me that I had to pay an early check out fee of 50 bucks. Who ever heard of such a thing??!! To make a long story short, the time I could've used to rest before my flight was wasted on waiting for a manager to complain about the fee. When I finally got to talk to the manager, he said that the hotel rep was wrong to charge the fee. The fee pertained to a cancellation fee. So, that was the mixup. For compensation, the manager offered a free movie. You have got to be kidding me. I was already checking out, and he offers a movie. Nice gesture but ridiculous.
Excellent staff, best place to stay by airport
I have stayed at the crowne plaza at least five times in the last couple years, and have enjoyed my stay each time. The rooms updated, very clean, and the service and staff has always been excellent. If you can get a great rate, take it! Best value, even if you have to drive to go to attractions!
Excellent hotel
excellent hotels i got a great deal on hotwire for 50 a nightlove it its funny i book it for one night and my stay in los angeles was five i was planning to move from hotel to hotel i still here for three day that how much i enjoy my stay the bar and restaurant was good the beds were comfortable and room were very large l;ove the spa and pool was ok the jacuzzi was nice overall i enjoy my stay i will be in los angeles again and this is the hotel i will be staying in again
Stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning and end of our honeymoon.
Prompt shuttle bus service, lovely lobby and restaurant. The rooms are excellent and the beds are MASSIVE!!. The only negative is that there isnt anything really around apart from other hotels and a burger king.
But if it's just for the airport then this is a great place to stay
Crowne Plaza-LAX
My wife and I stayed at this hotel twice within the year and consider it a very nice place to stay. The room was quiet and we slept peacefully with no exterior noise or disturbance. The hotel staff that processed our reservation was very friendly, helpful, and serious in making us feel comfortable. At the end of our stay when we were checking out, she inquired about our stay and asked how was the room.
We answered her and she was very happy to learn that we were happy. She said she was concerned and wanted us to have a nice and quiet room.
During our stay, she provided helpful information for us to get around the city. I would seriously consider returning to stay in this hotel whenever we are down there again in Los Angeles; however, there is just one negative remark here. The parking fee is a bit expensive at $8.00.
I Love this Hotel !
I have stayed at this Hotel for years. The rooms smell clean, and the Breakfast Buffet excellent. The hot tub is great and the pool is big and nice. You can usually go swmming till 10 pm at night. If you ask for a quiet room, you'll get it and sleep like a baby, you won't even hear the airplanes taking off.

Portland: Romantic Hotels with Jacuzzi in Room
Portland, Oregon is a mecca for nature lovers. This lively city in the Pacific Northwest is known for its mild temperatures, many gardens and youthful vibe. The walker's paradise features the largest urban wilderness in the United States, Forest Park, and the 30-mile Wildwood Trail. In fact, Forest Park is over 5,000 acres of protected woodlands right in the middle of downtown Portland. If you like wildlife, be sure to stop by the Oregon Zoo. Located in popular Washington Park, it is known for its Asian elephant breeding program and, while not large, makes for an enjoyable afternoon.

RELEASE: CAP Proposes Universal Access to High-Quality Preschool and Expanded Access to Child Care for Infants
Contact: Katie Peters
Phone: 202.741.6285
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Washington, D.C. — A new report released today by the Center for American Progress entitled "Investing in Our Children" puts forward two major policy recommendations: a proposal that would enable every child in the United States to attend two years of high-quality public preschool; and a plan to double access to affordable, quality child care for infants and toddlers.
Although nationwide preschool enrollment has increased to 74 percent among 4-year-old children and 51 percent among 3-year-old children, the lowest-income and most disadvantaged children are the least likely to participate in preschool programs. And currently only 22 percent of low-income families have access to federally subsidized child care. The policies included in the CAP report would help parents balance the demands of work and family, and help address our growing economic inequality and diminishing rates of upward mobility. By educating children during a critical period in their development, we can provide them with a foundation for lifelong learning and achievement and thereby strengthen America's human capital.
"There's one set of policies that addresses the needs of women and working families, reduces inequality, and ensures children enter school ready to learn: universal pre-K and high quality child care," said Neera Tanden, President and CEO of the Center for American Progress. "In a time of limited resources, we know the return on investment in these initiatives is high. To ensure our children can compete in the global economy, we have to ensure they get a good start in the race."
CAP's preschool-to-third-grade proposal would enable every child to attend two years of high-quality public preschool and strengthens the alignment between preschool and early elementary education. Under CAP's plan, the federal government would, on average, match state preschool expenditures up to $10,000 per child per year. This funding would allow families with children ages 3 and 4 to voluntarily send their children to a full-day (nine-hour) public preschool program or to choose a shorter-day alternative. Preschool would be free for children from families at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty line. Children from families above 200 percent of the poverty line would be charged a sliding tuition co-pay, ranging from about 30 percent of the cost to 95 percent of the cost (for families above 400 percent of the poverty line).
In addition to making high-quality preschool universally accessible to all 3- and 4-year-old children, CAP proposes increasing access to affordable child care for infants and toddlers. Investing in child care is not only critical for children but will also generate large benefits for parents and employers and will help spur economic growth. The CAP proposal therefore calls for an overhaul of the existing federal child care funding system in order to:
- Expand access to subsidized child care for low-income parents. CAP's plan would double access to federally subsidized child care for low-income families, from 22 percent to 44 percent.
- Increase the federal child care subsidy to make child care more affordable. CAP's plan would raise the child care subsidy amount by roughly 25 percent to an average of $7,200 per child.
- Improve the quality of child care by requiring states to adopt child care standards that are developmentally appropriate, cover all essential areas, and promote early learning gains.
- Double enrollment in Early Head Start, an extremely effective education program for young children.

The trees in the area next to my yard have been overrun by vines, and the ground is covered with evergreen undergrowth. The vines still have some orange berries from fall; the lower plants were topped with white flowerheads last spring. What can I do to save my woods?
J.F., Worcester, MA
Invasive plant species are dominating natural areas more and more. Fortunately, the two you describe are relatively easy to manage. The vine is Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus); the groundcover is garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata). Both plants thrive in shady areas, spread rapidly, and choke out desirable plants. From late fall through early spring, these two "bad guys" are easy to identify because they stand out from other plants. Winter is an ideal time to control them.
Pull the bittersweet vines off the trees and follow them to the ground where they're rooted. If the soil isn't frozen, pull up the roots, following the orange pieces until they're lifted from the ground.
If the earth is frozen, snip the stem low and carefully apply a poison ivy or brush control formulation (ask at your local garden center) to each cut stem. Then watch for any seedlings that may germinate each year and pull them up while they're small.
Garlic mustard is a biennial, growing foliage the first year, producing flowers and seeds the next. In early winter, its first-year evergreen foliage is easy to spot against the otherwise-bare landscape. To control it most effectively, you'll need a targeted chemical-management program combined with physical removal.
In early winter, apply a Roundup-type contact herbicide, coating all the leaves. Over the winter, the plants will absorb the chemical and die; next spring, you'll have to pull up only the growth the spray missed.
Make sure you remove every surviving plant early in the season, before they can produce flowers and seeds. (Each plant can generate hundreds of new seedlings.) Seeds already in the soil are viable for several years, so plan on repeating this process each winter until you see no more germination.
Generally, I like to rely on natural, low-input lawn and garden maintenance around my home — but invasive plants present unusual challenges. You'll actually manage many such species more successfully, and often with less damage to the environment, with chemicals, if you use them properly.
Remember to do your homework beforehand: Understand the target you want to control, consult expert sources for possible alternatives, learn how the chemical product works, and evaluate the risks and benefits.

Latest News
Welcome to the Irish Draught Horse Society
The Irish Draught is the only native breed of horse in Ireland. It is versatile, athletic and intelligent with a wonderful temperament. Traditionally, it was the horse of the countryside. Because of its attractive qualities, the Irish Draught is well-known and much sought-after.
The Irish Draught has made the Irish horse famous throughout the world. It is a foundation breed. When crossed with the Thoroughbred, the Irish Draught produces a high-class performance sport horse that combines the best of both breeds.
Do you own an Irish Draught Horse?
Would you like to own an Irish Draught Horse in the future?
Do you simply admire the Irish Draught breed?
If you can answer 'yes' to any of the above questions, you are one of a special group of people dedicated to protecting and preserving the living heritage of Ireland.
All of the family of all ages can enjoy the Irish Draught, which is widely admired for its ability and versatility. It is an ideal horse for an amateur rider who wants to have fun in a wide range of disciplines ranging through Showjumping, Working Hunter, Dressage, Eventing, Driving, Trec and many others. Irish Draught horses can perform at a high level nationally and internationally.
If you are lucky enough to own an Irish Draught, you already know that your horse is a loyal and reliable companion.
Would you like to meet other Irish Draught Horse enthusiasts?
Would you like to work with the breed society?
The Irish Draught Horse Society Limited was founded in 1976 and is the registered breed society that represents
Irish Draught Horse owners, breeders and enthusiasts. It is a breed preservation society, dedicated to maintaining the traditional characteristics of the Irish Draught Horse for future generations.
The Irish Draught Horse Society Ltd places the utmost importance on the preservation of traditional characteristics in the Irish Draught breed. Accelerated dilution of breed characteristics and loss of genetic diversity in the herd in recent decades puts in doubt the sustainability and future survival of the Irish Draught as a distinct breed of horse.
The lrish Draught Horse Studbook has been maintained by Horse Sport Ireland since 2008 and was held prior to that by the Irish Horse Board.
The Irish Draught Horse Society Ltd asserts its right to maintain the Traditional Irish Draught Horse Studbook and has applied for the licence to the Department of Agriculture. Following a review in 2010, the Oireachtas (parliament) Joint Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Food unanimously recommended "that the Irish Draught Horse Studbook should be allocated to the Irish Draught Horse Society Ltd, on the basis that the Society is best placed to support the preservation of the breed."
In view of this recommendation and the continuing loss of traditional breed characteristics and bloodlines, it is alarming that the licence for the Traditional Irish Draught Horse Studbook has not yet been allocated to the Irish Draught Horse Society Ltd. The IDHS continues to vigorously pursue this studbook on behalf of its members who are the custodians of the breed.
The Irish Draught Horse Society Limited is a co-operative with charitable status. It is run under the rules of the Irish Co-operative Organisation Society (ICOS) and has a democratic structure where each Member is a shareholder.
The Society organises an annual national breed show. It runs promotions at local shows and equestrian events throughout the country. Local activities are usually organised by branches.
We hope that you will learn more from this website. It contains lots of information and photographs of the Irish Draught Horse, as well as details on how to become a Member or Patron of the Society.
We wish you all many years of enjoyment from the Irish Draught Horse.
Working together to preserve the traditional characteristics of the Irish Draught Horse.

There are lots of rookies who will make a name for themselves this coming NFL season.
Dontari Poe,Harrison Smith, Bruce Irvin and A.J Jenkins were all shock picks in the 2012 NFL Draft. This was because people had only became aware of their talents a few months before they were selected. Every year, there are solid prospects who were overlooked for whatever reason and yet still manage to rise up draft boards.
Here are a few players who I feel could do the same in 2013.

Featured in Big, Remo Saraceni's Walking Piano Plays Its Sweetest Music at the Cash Register
It was—you should pardon the expression—a key scene in the movie, fine-tuning the friendship between employee and employer. It was also music to the ears of Remo Saraceni, the inventor of the Walking Piano. Since the movie opened, it has brought Big business to his design-manufacturing company, Techno Futures Inc. As Techno's president, Saraceni had sold only about 100 of the colossal keyboards since he created them five years ago. By this Christmas, he expects to sell 3,200.
A divorced, Italian-born vegetarian, Saraceni lives in a converted Philadelphia bank-building loft that serves as home, office and design studio—not unlike Hanks's toy-heaven apartment in Big. Many of his self-created furnishings reflect his interest in "interactive technologies," such as the red, heart-shaped sofa that thumps out a heartbeat whenever anyone sits down. "It has to do with biorhythms," says the expansive Saraceni, 52. "It's calming and friendly." The same philosophy went into the creation of the Walking Piano, an instrument that "allows us to be in harmony with all the cosmic energies," says Saraceni, sounding much like a New Age Mr. Rogers.
Unfortunately, his original Walking Piano—first spotted by the Big filmmakers at F.A.O. Schwarz—was 6½ feet long and played only one octave. "But the script was written that Tom and Robert would play 'Heart and Soul' on the piano," says the movie's director, Penny Marshall. "The one that existed at Schwarz was too small to play the notes I needed." So the obliging Saraceni made a 16-foot-long, full three-octave piano wide enough to accommodate the crazy dancing feet of Hanks and Loggia.
Both sizes are now being marketed, although their price tags are as jumbo-size as the keyboards. The short version sells for $3,500; the large one goes to the tune of $15,000. Not quite what you'd call bargain basement, although Saraceni believes the cost is just a prelude to a transcendent payoff. "When people make music on my piano," he notes, "the sounds create a joyful social energy."

The wild finishes to Week 4 would almost assuredly guarantee upsets.
And while we had a few - Lions, 49ers, Bengals, Titans and Chiefs - the rest of the league's favorites won their Week 4 matchups.
Of the five upsets, only one of the lines (49ers +10) was more than three points.
Even with all the crazy endings, the NFL wasn't monumentally shaken in Week 4.
Week 5 is the first set of bye weeks for the season. The Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins, Washington Redskins and Baltimore Ravens all have the week off.
This leaves us with three less games to pick from in Week 5, but a number of matchups already jump off the page.
Can the Chiefs actually put together a two-game winning streak with a win over the Colts in Indianapolis?
Is there any way in the world the Vikings can lose a fifth-straight game with the Cardinals coming to town?
Will the Eagles legitimately fall to 1-4 while visiting the Bills?
Are the Jets destined to fall behind in the AFC East with a trip to Foxborough?
Do the Falcons have enough fire power to beat the Packers at home?
And is a home win over the Bears enough for us to consider the Lions a threat to Packers in the NFC North?
These are just some of the things we get to think about for the next week.
Of the 13 games on tap, 10 already have spreads up. We saw a ton of late line movement this week as kickoff drew near and should expect more of the same with only 13 games to play. Monitor the line movements this week as things are sure to get crazy with less opportunities to play.
Be sure to check back often for all the latest on picks, points, spreads, locks, covers and trends.
And, as always, remember the secret to making great picks: "clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose."

Nurse Practitioners Look to Ease Supervision Rules
Rose Okoro, a nurse practitioner who specializes in family medicine, opened the Daystar Family Clinic in Katy last October. Seven months later, she has only enough patients to work there part time.
It is not because of demand but because of a law that ties the work of nurse practitioners to doctors, said Okoro, who has a doctorate in nursing practice. State regulations do not allow her to be reimbursed by insurance companies unless the physician who supervises her has a contract with those companies.
"Any approval the collaborating physician does not have, I cannot get — even if I'm ...

SOUTH BRUNSWICK - Police are looking for information and alerting residents about two recent burglaries.
Detectives believe the two burglaries which occurred in the past two weeks may be connected. Both burglaries occurred in the Brunswick Acres Development, on weekday evenings, and the suspects targeted master bedrooms. The cases involved homes on Matthew Avenue and Virginia Street. In the most recent case, the suspects forced open a rear slider to gain entry to the home. The suspects primarily steal jewelry.
A canvass of the area found witnesses who described a white van driving slowly in the area. They described it as a "painters van," closer in size to a mini-van. The crimes have taken place between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.
Detectives are looking for anyone who may have seen the van or anything suspicious in the Brunswick Acres neighborhood last Wednesday evening to call Detective Mike Pellino or Detective Dennis Yuhasz at (732) 329-4000 ext 7496.
"We have increased patrols in the community and are looking for the publics assistance with information," Chief Raymond Hayducka said. "Our aggressive approach to these two burglaries will hopefully identify the suspects responsible and prevent further crimes."
In addition to the increased patrols, police have placed a message board in the neighborhood which has generated tips.

Since 2001, the Northeast Modern Language Association (NEMLA) convention has included a series of panels on AIDS-related topics e.g., "AIDS and Women," "AIDS and Race" and "Cultural Responses to AIDS." The proposed panel for 2004 is "AIDS in/and Film."
In 1981, the year the syndrome was made public, there were no films about AIDS. In 2003, few films about AIDS are released, mainstream or independent. This is not to imply that there has been a dearth during the intervening twenty-plus years. Quite the contrary, the scope of AIDS films ranges widely, from Pedro Almodovar's critically-lauded "All About My Mother" to Robin Wright Penn's "hidden" portrayal of a Person with AIDS in "Forrest Gump" to the frequently-proposed albeit never-filmed adaptation of Larry Kramer's "The Normal Heart."
There has always been something fetching, something wondrously magical, about the silver screen. How then might AIDS be (re)presented in film, a disease that is still infecting people and people are still dying from in a medium of media often associated with fantasy and escape? How do we reconcile when PWAs are played by non-HIV-positive people (e.g., Ed Harris in "The Hours")? Why do we revere straight men playing gay PWAs, winning Academy Awards for the portrayals (Tom Hanks in "Philadelphia")? How do we account for and/or address these and other related slippages?
AIDS activists are valiantly striving to get people to "remember AIDS," to understand that the crisis is far from over. In the midst of reasserting ourselves and finding new steps of change in fighting complacency, we must take into account as many areas of visibility as possible. This proposed panel on AIDS in/and Film seeks to do just that. Papers might address:
Submit abstracts, full-length papers and/or questions (e-submissions preferred) by September 1, 2003.
Panelists must be registered members of NEMLA by October 15, 2003 in order to present. For more information about membership, registration or the conference, please visit our website.
