Originally from England, Robin T. Cotton, MD, has built the world's premiere center for the diagnosis and treatment of airway abnormalities. He was instrumental in developing the Airway Management Unit, which has evolved into the Aerodigestive Center. The Aerodigestive Center is now the forefront of the multidisciplinary approach management for children with complex airway disorders.
Dr. Cotton was the director of the Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology -- Head and Neck Surgery at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center from 1973 to 2012. The Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology has become the busiest surgical subspecialties at Cincinnati Children's, with more than 36,000 visits and 15,000 surgeries each year. The Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology -- Head and Neck Surgery was the first to utilize Cincinnati Children's outpatient facilities.
Dr. Cotton has been an invited speaker to many national and international functions each year. Because of his reputation, 70 percent of his patients requiring airway surgery are from outside the Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky area.
Together, Dr. Cotton and his colleagues have developed a world-renowned program to treat primary and specialized ear, nose and throat problems, including swallowing disorders, speech disorders and cochlear implants.
Named one of the "Best Doctors in the United States" in 1998, Dr. Cotton and his staff have built an international reputation for the treatment of hearing and aerodigestive conditions in children.

Biliary atresia
As a pediatric surgeon and a transplant surgeon, Dr. Tiao is involved in the care of children afflicted with biliary atresia from the time of presentation and diagnosis to the initial Kasai portoenterostomy to the liver transplant, when necessary. He sees the many challenges children and their families experience when diagnosed with this life threatening disease process. From that perspective, defining the basis of this disease process such that therapeutic strategies can be developed eliminating these complex interventions is his career goal. His short term goal is to develop an independent research laboratory investigating the pathogenesis of virus induced biliary atresia specifically seeking to determine the mechanistic basis of this disease so that new treatment strategies can be developed to salvage the native liver.
Dr. Tiao's overarching hypothesis is that biliary atresia results from the infection of cholangiocytes by a virus triggering immune-mediated biliary obstruction. His focus is to determine the mechanisms used by RRV to infect cholangiocytes, how RRV undergoes replication within the cholangiocyte, and how infected cholangiocytes modify the microenvironment, activating the immune system resulting in biliary obstruction. Determination of the mechanistic basis of these inter-related events is essential to understanding the pathogenesis of virus induced BA. By focusing on the basis for the viral insult in the initiation of biliary atresia, he has defined an area of independence from Dr Jorge Bezerra, his primary research mentor.

Close to Home: Nobody's Valentine
It's a lesson in rejection.
We should accept it gracefully. Perhaps it just wasn't our year.
Sitting here on the rack, just beneath the big red banner with roses on it that says "Happy Valentine's Day, February 14."
Days later, we are still hanging out. We were never picked.
Row after row of empty envelopes surround us, from small ones that fit in the hand to some big enough for someone to just hop inside and give himself to his beloved.
Just a week ago, these racks were filled with our comrades.
For Mother. For Daughter. For Granddaughter. For Aunt. For Sister. For Anyone.
The sappy guys came in early and grabbed up the pretty cards, the ones with the velvet and lace and roses on the front.
Next to go were the romantic cards, with phrases like "All my life I was waiting for you" and "Being with you makes me smile inside."
Now, there's nothing left but this group of cards that didn't make the cut. What was so bad about us?
What's wrong with a little humor? Did the flatulence jokes go a little too far? Don't people enjoy seeing a pair of monkeys kissing?
How about the one a few rows over, with the hairy man in his boxer shorts on the cover? Come to think of it, it makes sense that he's still here.
It's too late now.
A lady just walked up with a box of new greeting cards.
In a few hours, we'll be history.
She'll yank us out of our spaces and replace us with St. Patrick's Day and Easter greetings.
Good luck, new guys.
Nothing is sadder than a leftover bunny.

OGDENSBURG The Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority has a colorful new attention-getting device.
A $52,000, 121-square-foot digital sign has been erected in the median at the U.S. approach to the Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge.
The authority will use the sign to promote property in its port and commerce park, said John A. Rishe, director of commercial and industrial development.
It raises the OBPAs profile for the thousands of potential customers that cross our bridge on a monthly basis, Mr. Rishe said.
The sign was manufactured by Fiberdyne Labs of Frankfort.

Last week I decided to spoil myself a little and grab a tablet to use for editing with. Not a Wacom, sadly – while money isn't a huge issue, I can't justify spending $400 on a gadget that's for a hobby. But a few weeks ago, I came across a review for a third-party knockoff tablet for only $50. I decided to give it a shot.
The main appeal for me was the greater control of the cursor. As a left-handed person who grew up in a family of right-handeds, I had to teach myself to use the mouse with my right. After leaving for college, I tried to switch back to left-hand mousing, but it was just as awkward. It was too late for me to change. So, on I continued to use the mouse with my right, and when I started picking up photography editing, I found that I lacked the fine control that was needed. My efforts seemed clumsy, brutish and crude sometimes if I tried to delve past the basic editing.
Dodge and burn was out because I could never get even-looking results. Forget cloning hair – unless I click a million times.
Then, a few years ago I heard about a gadget where you use a stylus like a mouse. And ever since, I've been lusting after these tablets. I knew that using a stylus with my left would afford me greater control and be more comfortable to use.
Monoprice, if you're not familiar with it, is a site where you can acquire some electronics and accessories for very reasonable prices. If you're in need of HDMI cables and don't want to pay the outrageous $50 for three feet, check Monoprice.
Having never worked with a tablet before, I didn't really know what to expect.
For one, I thought the tablet would be a lot smaller because the dimensions on this was described as 10″ x 6″, and I thought that measurement included the plastic frame around the work surface, like for phones. Much to my surprise, this tablet is nearly the size of my laptop.
I also worried a little that there might be some compatibility issues with the driver because this laptop runs on Win 8, and the driver is for Win 7 and older OS, but everything seems okay so far.
Yesterday, I plugged it in, installed the driver, and fired up Photoshop. I pulled up an old picture to play with because I'd never been really happy with it (I have lots of pictures I want to re-edit). Here's the mostly unedited picture (I did a few minor tweaks in RAW).
And this is the edited one I did a couple years ago; I've posted this one here on the blog before.
It didn't take me long to figure out that you had to lightly hover the pen above the surface to move the cursor. Neat! And when you to click and drag, just lightly press the pen to the surface. Keen!
After a few passes, I realized I had a problem – the stylus didn't seem to be making any drastic changes even though I had the opacity set to 100%. It took me a few passes to get the left side dark enough to be faintly visible.
What gives!? I got all pissed. Why wasn't this thing working!? Did I get a faulty tablet?
Fiddling with the stylus, I realized the tip wasn't rigid, it moved up and down a bit. So I pressed down harder, and (gee this is sounding a little dirty) and lo and behold, the marks got darker and more dense with more pressure. And that was my lightbulb moment. No need to fiddle with the opacity; the varying degree of pressure would change the opacity. Very neat.
Also, I worried about my ability to figure out where the cursor was on the tablet versus the screen. As it turns out, the tablet is set up (I don't know if this is unique to this particular tablet or not) to mirror your monitor. If you put the stylus in the lower left corner of the tablet, the cursor on the monitor will move there. Upper-center, ditto. And so on. Peachy.
Having figured all that out, I turned my attention back to the image and took care of some the issues that had been bothering me.
Side note: the edited version is slightly darker/more contrasty because I was fiddling with an adjustment, and forgot to disable it before making this jpg.
Side by side look, original on right:
Spot the differences!
Subtle subtle changes.
And now I'm at the point where I'm much happier with this image. It looks cleaner and more polished. I would rate this image as halfway done now; next, I need to decide what to do to finish this image. Should I post process it like I did the original edited version, or do something different? Choices choices.
To be continued…because that's where I stopped last night.
Anyway, I'm thrilled with the tablet. I can't offer a solid comparison because I've never used other tablets, but I can say that I like it so far. It, aside from a 5-minute learning curve, is really easy to use, and editing is a breeze. With the mouse, cloning the errant hair out would've taken me an hour or two. This? About 20-30 minutes. So far, I am loving it.
So, that's my experience. If anyone is interested in portrait photography, either as a hobby or as a pro or aspiring pro, consider grabbing this tablet to see if it's for you.

CANTON - Mauri E. Maroney has wrapped up a 25-year career with the U.S. Postal Service that included postal jobs in several St. Lawrence County communities.
The 54-year-old retired Jan. 31 from her role as Canton postmaster after accepting a voluntary early retirement. She has held the postmaster job since May 2002.
Its always been a great place to work, Ms. Maroney said. We come under a lot of scrutiny, but I think we give a heck of a service to the public.
Until a new postmaster is hired, those duties will be handled by Christopher Snyder, supervisor of customer service. When Ms. Maroney started her postal career in 1987, all first-class mail was sorted by hand and a postage stamp cost 22 cents. Now mail is sorted in Syracuse through an automated system and the price of a stamp has jumped to 49 cents.
As a result of email and electronic billing, the volume of first-class mail has declined significantly over the past two decades. However, parcel package deliveries handled by the postal service have increased markedly as more people order products over the Internet.
The business has shifted to packages and the tracking of packages, Ms. Maroney said.
The Canton native was the second Maroney to serve as Canton postmaster. Her father, R. Michael Maroney, spent 35 years with the postal service and worked as Canton postmaster from 1982 to 1987.
Her brother, Howard Maroney, retired in 2011 from his job as Norwood postmaster and her sister, Valli M. Ganditzki, is a rural carrier in Spencerport outside Rochester.
My father encouraged anyone who would listen to take the Civil Service exam because he thought it was a great job, Ms. Maroney recollected.
After graduating from St. Lawrence University with a degree in physical education, Ms. Maroney spent five years working for the state Department of Transportation.
In 1987, she became a rural carrier in Russell and was later promoted to administrative roles in Raymondville, Parishville and Star Lake.
After serving as postmaster in Star Lake, she was appointed acting supervisor in Massena. She later transferred to the Canton Post Office, where she served as supervisor of customer service and later as officer in charge. She was selected for the Canton postmaster job in May 2002.
During her tenure, the post office received a major renovation that focused on handicapped accessibility.
Unlike many postal workers, Ms. Maroney said she was never bit by a dog during her years on the job.
Most get bit one time or another, but I never have, she said.
Although she doesnt have any retirement plans, Ms. Maroney said shes looking forward to the next phase of her life.
I dont have any specific plans to do anything. Im open to anything that might come along, Ms. Maroney said.

Although the hurricane is hundreds of miles away, a National Weather Service wind advisory is in effect for Michigan until 8 tonight. Winds are expected to blow between 20 and 30 mph today, with gusts to 55 mph.
Waves on parts of Lake Michigan are expected to build to 33 feet today before subsiding to less than 20 feet Wednesday night. Along Grand Haven's shore, waves of 10-15 feet are forecast.
Scattered power outages are possible from the high winds. Loose objects could be caught in the wind — and driving, especially for high-profile vehicles on east-west roads, could become difficult.
Although water levels are low, Sgt. Glenn Bo of the Grand Haven Department of Public Safety said they will take precautions and close City Beach, if necessary, and notify establishments and residents in the area large waves could be generated.
"We're going to continue to monitor it," he said Monday.
Wayne Hoepner, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids, explained that the hurricane's impact relates to two systems running into each other. He said a wicked wind between the two systems is the result, which could lead to downed power lines or branches in roadways.
"If you're out and driving, you need to watch the road," Hoepner advised.
A warm coat will be necessary for trick-or-treaters on Wednesday night.
Hoepner said Wednesday's forecast calls for highs in the upper 40s and lows in the upper 30s, with a chance of rain and snow during the day.
"It's going to be unpleasant," he said.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will monitor the Grand Haven pier during the storm, said Tom O'Bryan, area engineer of Lake Michigan office.
Another issue O'Bryan said they would keep an eye on is shoaling, where sand is carried by waves into deeper water levels. He said they expect shoaling might obstruct navigation channels, and they would have to inform shippers.
"That will be a big concern," O'Bryan said.
Grand Haven State Park Supervisor Joyce Rhodes said park officials had already begun winterizing the park, which will also help protect the buildings from the winds. She said park officials have already installed the snow fences and the flushing toilets have been closed for the season.
"We're rushing to get our shutters up and buildings buckled down to get the outside work done," Rhodes said Monday.
Since the state park officially closed Sunday, people hoping to see the anticipated large waves will have an obstructed view, Rhodes said. She doesn't recommend getting out of your car at the shore because you might get blasted by blowing sand, and waves will be dangerously crashing over the pier and channel seawall.
"Anybody going on the pier is putting their life in the hands of Mother Nature," Rhodes said.
People parked along Grand Haven's shore on Monday afternoon to see the beginning of Lake Michigan's fury. Muskegon residents Mike and Tammy Huck enjoyed lunch from inside their van as they watched the waves from the City Beach parking lot.
"It's impressive to come down and see what that lake can do," Mike Huck said.
In anticipation of wind-related outages, Consumers Energy service centers are being staffed around the clock early this week, company spokesman Roger Morgenstern said.
While contractors are being released to help out the eastern seaboard states, the majority of Consumers Energy's forestry and line crews will remain on alert in West Michigan, Morgenstern added. Thirty forestry crews and 20 distribution line workers — all contractors — have been released for this storm, he said.
Consumers Energy is sending 14 engineering support personnel to assist First Energy in Maryland, Morgenstern said.
"These people will help assess the damage after the storms go through," he explained. "They will help prioritize where the work will be done."
Renee Molyneux, spokeswoman for the Grand Haven Board of Light & Power, said the local utility's crews might go out of state once in a while, but it isn't a common practice. She said they don't plan to do it with this storm.
Tribune reporter Becky Vargo contributed to this story.

DAVE MCNEELY: Texas purple idea spreads to Washington?
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Texas legislators from time to time memorialize Congress to do this or that. Since it bears no force of law, the result is sort of like pouring a beer over the side of the Grand Canyon and listening for it to hit.
But a freshman Texas House member several weeks ago had a good idea to boost camaraderie and considerate behavior in the Legislature. It is already having an effect in the Texas Capitol, and perhaps by mental telepathy may be spreading to Washington. More on that later.
The freshman is Ron Simmons, a Republican from Carrollton. What he did was go to his freshmen colleagues — 41, including him, and one of the largest beginning classes in 40 years — and say, why not send a message that we want to get along with each other?
The result is "Purple Thursdays" — a day each week when the freshmen wear purple — a tie or jacket or shirt or scarf. It's to show that they are not just Republican red or Democratic blue, but want to work together for bipartisan solutions. And, even if they don't achieve solutions, respect each other in the process.
Simmons' initiative, which has caught on not just with the freshmen but spread to some of the upperclassmen, is refreshing. That's because the other 109 veteran legislators have suffered through some rather rancorous times in the last few years.
It's one reason there were enough legislative seats up to produce such a large freshman class: Some members were just worn out by the in-your-face squabbling.
It's a reason that some freshmen got to Austin by unseating other House members, who had bought off on the divisive attitude, underlined in the rancorous anti-Obama 2010 election.
Some of these freshmen heard from constituents during the 2012 election that they want lawmakers not to fight, but to seek common ground.
We need some deal-making lawmakers, they said, who realize compromises don't give everyone everything they want, but are better than being frozen in place.
The practice in the Texas House is to refrain from considering bills during the first 60 days, except those the governor deems emergencies.
That 60 days may seem wasted to some people. But, used properly, it is the meet-and-greet time for 150 members, and particularly the 41 new ones, to get to know each other — and maybe make some new friends.
Rep. Mark Strama, D-Austin, said that time is valuable to establish some good will that he said can help ease tensions when tough subjects come up later.
"There's value in building equity in these relationships while things are relatively easy, so when the friction inevitably develops, you can draw on some of that equity," Strama told the Austin American-Statesman.
Legislators were spared some rancor in this session because the governor didn't lay out any fight-inducing subjects as emergencies as he did in 2011. Among them were requiring sonograms for women getting abortions, banning sanctuary cities, requiring photo IDs to vote and other controversial topics.
The Legislature also is facing fatter fiscal times than the shortfall it saw in 2011. Legislators, under Perry's no-tax-increase watchful eye, cut $5.4 billion from public schools rather than raise taxes or dip into the Rainy Day Fund.
And the Republican supermajority of 101 to 49 Democrats in 2011 has been knocked back to 95-55, which makes across-the-aisle bargaining more necessary.
Suddenly in Washington, maybe it's just that spring is coming, but that getting-to-know-you value may have gotten pollinated in the nation's capital.
In recent days, President Obama, a Democrat, hosted a dozen Republican senators at a dinner, ostensibly just to talk things over.
Then the next day, he had House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan — the 2012 Republican vice presidential candidate — over to the White House for lunch.
In both instances, the Republicans breaking bread with the president seemed in better humor as a result.
It's certainly tougher to get to know the members of Congress, with 435 House members and 100 senators, than in Texas, with 150 House members and 31 senators — as George W. Bush learned in 2001.
But one thing that helped Lyndon Johnson achieve as much as he did after moving up from the vice presidency following John F. Kennedy's assassination was that, after more than two decades in the U.S. House and Senate, LBJ already knew a lot of those folks.
So maybe the efforts of people like Rep. Simmons, and belatedly, Obama, may bear fruit, and help return cooperation, and maybe even camaraderie, to our lawmaking process.
Maybe some day there can be an easy positive answer to the plaintive question posed a session or two back by Senate Dean John Whitmire, almost like a prayer:
"Can't we all just get along?"
Right on, Purple Gang.

Bill is a neoliberal elite that promoted NAFTA and the WTO and the Libertarian views of Milton Freedman economics through Robert Rubin and Larry Summers. He didn't come in the that way but left that way, eventually with 300,000 jobs lost to Mexico, and eventually too China.

Bill is losing it in his elder years. There is a reason Halter caught fire, which is that Lincoln has acted as a "tool" for corporate interests & is essentially a GOP lapdog. Washington doesn't need more Senators who vote with health insurers against the dire need of working Americans to be guaranteed coverage, Bill. Wake up -
