Research and clinical work go hand in hand at the Division of Neonatology, which is part of UBMD Pediatrics at Oishei Children's Hospital. The advances made through research in the Division bring about direct improvements in the care of the hospital's youngest, and perhaps most vulnerable patients.
The focus of the Division's research is three-fold: to study how best to deliver critical care to babies with respiratory depression at birth and reduce oxygen toxicity; to discover the optimum management of newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN); and to further the treatment of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a gastrointestinal disease that disproportionately affects pre-term infants.
Facilitating a Child's Best Start in Life
To date, physicians from the Division in Buffalo, (Drs. Kumar, Mathew, and Lakshminrusimha) have received four grants from the American Academy of Pediatrics to study neonatal resuscitation.
An asphyxiated infant enters this world limp, apneic, and cyanotic, and requires immediate resuscitation. Yet the effects of resuscitation with varying levels of oxygen on pulmonary hemodynamics at birth are not well known. It is understood, however, that hyperoxic ventilation can cause oxidant injury and contribute to the worsening of pulmonary hypertension in newborns.
At present, investigators at the Division are conducting research focused on neonatal resuscitation and finding the optimum oxygen concentration to be used during resuscitation. These studies are far from theoretical, as timely and appropriate resuscitation at birth can mean the difference between death, survival with neurologic impairment, and in fact, survival.
Finding better ways to manage PPHN
During fetal life the lungs are not required for gas exchange, so pulmonary blood flow is low and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is high. When the fetus adjusts to its new world at birth, its pulmonary circulation undergoes a striking transition, characterized by an 8- to 10-fold rise in pulmonary blood flow and a similarly significant decrease in PVR. When this transition does not occur spontaneously, the result can be persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), a condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
Traditional treatment for intractable PPHN that does not respond to mechanical ventilation and inhaled nitric oxide is Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation, or ECMO, in which an oxygenator acts as an artificial heart and lungs. While it is a life-saving technique, ECMO is also highly invasive.
Currently under evaluation by the Division is the role of anti-oxidants and antenatal/postnatal steroids on fetal lung fluid, pulmonary hemodynamics and surfactant release. Another alternative treatment being studied that shows early promise is that of Sildenafil. The Division is presently involved in a five-center trial, the end goal of which is to evaluate the use of this medication in the treatment of PPHN.
Studies into NEC
Necrotizing enterocolitis, which can cause destruction of the intestines, is extremely rare in healthy newborns. Among pre-term hospitalized infants, however, it is the most common and serious gastrointestinal disorder diagnosed. In collaboration with the Department of Pediatric Surgery, the Division of Neonatology is currently investigating the role of mesenteric vasculature in the pathogenesis of necrotizing enterocolitis.
World-class research facility
Researchers at the Division are well placed to undertake their research. Working at a facility that is almost unique in this country, investigators are able to create various disease models in pre-term lambs. The center is one of two in the United States that can accommodate long-term ventilation of lambs with PPHN. Established for over 20 years, its purpose has remained constant: to discover new treatments for the disease. Working in conjunction with Northwestern University, the Division has received a grant to study anti-oxidants such as superoxide dismutase in the treatment of PPHN.
The Division is also the recipient of a PROP (Prematurity and Respiratory Outcomes Program) grant and a TOLSURF (Trial Of Late SURFactant) grant aimed at the prevention of Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Recently, the Division along with the Division of Neonatology at Rochester, has joined the Neonatal Research Network established by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).
Impacting treatment
Comprised of a team of neonatologists along with nursing and other clinical staff specializing in the critical care of newborns, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit serves Buffalo and Western New York and the surrounding regions. The 64-bed mostly private room NICU admits over 850 babies each year and has an average daily census of 52 babies.
Approximately one-third of admissions are transported from outlying hospitals by the active Neonatal Transport Team, led by Dr. Vivien Carrion. This team consists of neonatal nurse practitioners and specially trained neonatal respiratory therapists, who are always ready to stabilize and transport any infant in the region to Oishei Children's Hospital.

ASTM A370, EN10002-1 Tension Testing of Structural Steel
For many structural shapes, such as W and S shapes, flat or dogbone coupons may be cut from the shape's web or flange and tensile tests may be performed in accordance with general specifications, such as ASTM A370 or EN 10002-1. However, despite the simplicity of a normal flat geometry, these specimens can be large, heavy, and require significantly more loading capacity than specimens cut from sheet due to the thickness of the shape's web, flange, or stem. Because of these high forces, we selected a hydraulically powered univeral testing system. The custom Industrial Series frame is a horizontal style system, which provided the capacity we needed and several nice options for loading heavy steel samples. Alternatively, hydraulic universal testing systems are also available in vertical styles with standard capacities ranging from 150 - 3,500 kN (33,750 lbf - 800,000 lbf).
To load a specimen we used our overhead crane and simply lowered the structural steel specimen directly into the open front wedge grips. For companies testing heavy samples, we recommend this horizonal set up because it reduces operator fatigue and risk of injury.
For this dogbone style specimen, we used wedge grips with flat faces. However, we also manufacture jaws for testing full-section angle and round specimens in a wide range of sizes. A wide range of extensometers are available with industrial sized gauge lengths up to 300 mm (11.81 in).

You know, scooters are a kick in the pants to ride. They just are, no matter what you might think of them. And I was again reminded of this after spending the day cruising the SoCal beaches and city streets of Orange County aboard one of Honda's latest around-towners, the PCX150.
Gold Wing has always been sportier than most people realized. Conceived as a superbike when it debuted in 1975, the Gold Wing has expanded to a bike powered by an automotive-size 1832cc.
2010 VFR1200F, the long-awaited follow-up to the previous Interceptor.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that the 150i is manufactured in that boot-shaped country, apparently satisfying the style-conscious Italian consumers with its sleek lines and good performance.
Like the eight other motorcycles tested here, the CRF230L would make a great first bike. Likewise, they're all natural commuters; our "fleet average" was 69 mpg, and none got less than 50 mpg. And unlike the poor, practical Prius, they all peg the Fun-o-Meter, maybe none more so than the CRF.

What's the Real Story About Why We Flip Someone the Middle Finger?
We're not talking about giving someone a parakeet for his or her birthday. We're talking about flipping someone the bird, or the middle finger — a time-honored insult that has been around for thousands of years.
Here's a little more information about how this very telling gesture got started, in all its variations.
The Greeks and their middle fingers
It seems that the middle finger is a 'civilized' substitute for the male phallus. In the wild, primates often use some kind of phallic display to show dominance over other members of their species. Greek philosophers and playwrights, such as Aristophanes, first made use of the middle finger to mock and belittle their rivals and counterparts. Behavior like that really put the 'class' into the Classical Age.
The Romans and a certain digit
The Romans imported Greek culture en masse. The rudeness of an extended middle finger was no exception. The Roman Emperor Caligula was so fond of taunting certain subjects with his middle finger that he often made them kiss it. A man by the name of Cassius, who the emperor humiliated with this gesture on more than one occasion, ended up killing Caligula for making him submit to such a demeaning sign.
The English bowmen keep on plucking
In England, holding up the middle finger is a very offensive gesture, as is holding up the middle and index fingers together. The French, during many years of conflict with the English in the 15th century, had the bright idea of cutting off the middle fingers of English bowmen, so that they would no longer be able to pluck the strings on their bows.
The English Yew tree
English longbows were made out of Yew wood. Sending an arrow through the air was referred to as 'plucking the yew.' When the French lost a battle and failed to capture a significant number of English archers, the English decided to mock their foes. They would hold up their middle finger (or fingers) for the French to see, and shout out that they could still "pluck yew."
Eventually the 'p' sound in 'pluck' was substituted with the easier to pronounce 'f', and the gesture and the accompanying insult became part of a storied history. The feathers on the arrows that the archers would let loose led to the expression 'giving someone the bird.'
Stuck in traffic
Think about this colorful history the next time someone cuts you off in traffic and you flip him or her the bird. Are you expressing your primate dominance over the other person? Or are you simply venting your anger from the relative safety of your car with a very ancient gesture? If it was good enough for the Greeks, it should be good enough for you.

I explored the duality in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland to present Alice's child-like bewilderment at the bizarre world she enters. At the same time I have drawn on the suggestion that Alice's adventure is a nightmare world within which there is a darkness and immorality.
Charles Blackman's work led me to look further into Alice's adventure. William Kentridge influenced my charcoal drawings, and the 1980s Czech film Alice provided a postmodern exploration of the story.
The viewer will comprehend these conflicting qualities of Alice's adventure, at the same [time] seeing the beautiful world of the imagination.

Entrepreneur Justin Tan's business idea was sparked by a very serious situation. On a flight from New York to Paris, his father, a respected physician, suffered a stroke that paralyzed the right side of his body.
Tan believed that technology could help in the rehabilitation efforts, and after researching the issue came up with the idea for Jintronix.
Started in Montreal two years ago, the company is now relocating to Seattle where it has scored an undisclosed amount of funding from Madrona Venture Group and other angel investors. The company should feel at home in Seattle.
After all, it was one of the inaugural members of the Kinect Accelerator incubator program that Microsoft hosted earlier this year. Using the Kinect, Jintronix looks to help get patients suffering from brain injuries back on the recovery path.
Here's a description of how it works:
The software creates a feedback loop between a patient performing rehabilitation exercises remotely and a physical therapist. The physical therapist can monitor the patient's performance data collected via the camera, and based on that data, prescribe subsequent "gamified" exercises that are tailored to the patient's individual recovery needs.
Here's an overview of the company:

Let me hear you all say HBV
No, not a sexually transmitted disease, but Honour Based Violence. It is important that this vile type of crime is given its proper name, in case of offending people's religious sensibilities. Whilst HBV is horrific, it would be far worse if people felt they could not hold extreme murderous views loosely based on religion without attracting criticism.
Cases as drastic as that of Tulay Goren are pretty rare, but cases stopping just short of it are not. For a father to disapprove of his 15-year-old daughter's 30-year-old boyfriend probably makes him a good father. If he deals with it by murdering her,* you have to wonder just exactly who he was protecting by disapproving to start with.
With the modern-day awareness of this kind of crime, you might imagine that the Criminal Justice System is well-equipped to deal with it. You might imagine immediate and thorough police protection for victims, swift procedures for dealing with perpetrators, and powerful deterrent sentences for those found guilty.
You would be right. Blandshire Constabulary has no less than a FOUR PAGE form JUST for cases of HBV. This is on top of the yearly-expanding six page form for all domestic incidents. When attending an incident of HBV, the attending officer fills out these ten pages, making sure to duplicate the information enough times to reflect the seriousness of this kind of offence. Any action taken by the officer to safeguard the victim should be highlighted in red and underlined two or three times, just to make sure that the later Inquiry picks it out. The form should then be placed in a suitably brightly-coloured folder and signed by two or three different sergeants. If all goes to plan, no one will be fired when the victim is found dead, without the need for anyone to work any overtime whatsoever.
All joking aside, it has long been accepted that the more pages filled out by the front-line PC, the safer victims will be. Indeed, it might be possible to phase out the need for specialist departments altogether, if only uniformed response officers were willing to fill out longer forms.
Whatever you make of the above, I think we are all agreed that at no point should the police or anyone speak out condeming the extreme views held within divisions of certain religious or ethnic groups. That might upset somebody, and THAT would be a real tragedy.
* Pending the outcome of the trial, I did say 'IF'.

2. Commit to CLEANSING YOUR LIFE and your home - think Purification. Avoid drugs and excesses. Protect your liver. Take a break from alcohol and avoid chemical exposures wherever possible. What type of Spring Cleansing is right for you?a juice cleanse, a detox diet, two weeks off sugar and caffeine, conquering your nicotine habit? Nutritional medicine can help you reduce your cravings and habits, and this enhances your potential for life, vitality, and creativity.
3. Update or begin an EXERCISE program. First, stretch out; awaken your body. Yoga stretching and Chi-gong are great for maintaining your youthfulness and flexibility. Then, tone up with some weights, and do some aerobic activity for heart strength and for building endurance. The entire program helps to relax and revitalize you, as well as providing a rush of those feel good brain endorphins. Most people experience a great increase in their energy level, which grows as they exercise regularly. (Certain illnesses and viral problems don?t allow people to regenerate their energies properly with physical activity.) Walk outside and breathe the trees, the breeze, and the seas (or the water energy like rivers or lakes near you), and the many birds singing. Notice the differences in Nature and the greater harmony of which we are all an important part.
4. Enjoy NATURE'S BOUNTY - fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables at their organic best. Spring greens are also wonderful; look for miner's lettuce, chickweed, some cleavers and dandelion greens, and put some on these in your mixed lettuce salad. Fresh organic spinach is tasty in salads with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar (added feta or other goat cheese as a treat). Gather your greens and other veggies as they grow. Fruits that come into Spring meals include oranges and lemons, strawberries (organic please), and dates, plus avocado, which I really put into the nut family because of their high oil content (but these are good oils).
5. Spring is the season of the LIVER and GALL BLADDER. If you have any weakness in these organs, they may be stressed in this season. Take care of your liver by avoiding chemicals in your diet and environment. Also, avoid junky fats; these include fried oils, hydrogenated fats, and the low-quality oils commonly used in most restaurants. Our bodies need the good oils to keep us lubricated and loose. The liver oversees the ligaments, tendons, and joints, which do not want to get rusty and old. We need to stay flexible and well-oiled, and we do this by consuming the right fats. The ideal oils to use are cold-pressed organic, virgin olive oil and the natural essential fatty acids (essential means your body needs them) found in nuts and seeds. It is also important to consume fresh, raw, organic nuts and seed. A handful or two of these Nature foods daily is helpful and healthful for just about everyone, but don't overdo it. That?s a good message for Spring: "A little is good, but watch our for excesses; or if a little is good, a lot is not necessarily better."

Getting off prescription drugs might be an unrealistic goal for some people but there are many ways to manage pain naturally.
Alexa Moffat has had chronic migraines for several years. In addition, she deals with inflammation from hip surgery. She recently started paying more attention to home remedies and naturopathic supplements.
"I've actually gotten off all of my prescription medications and have just gone natural," says Moffat.
Moffat started working at West Seattle Natural Medicine and has since become a patient.
"I've figured out that some dairy products can trigger my headaches and also some peanut butter," says Moffat. "It's really interesting to see what you're eating is actually affecting your body."
Food is where naturopathic doctors say the foundations of health begin. Medical doctors also agree that general guidelines for health start with healthy living.
"That can be things like, 'are you sleeping, are you exercising, what are you eating, are you drinking water, what do you do for fun?'" says Emily Livengood, naturopathic doctor at West Seattle Natural Medicine. "And the next step is usually food as medicine and home remedies can fall into that area."
A home remedy for an upset stomach might be bone broth. Livengood suggests getting some bones from your butcher and making a broth at home.
"There's really value in chicken noodle soup," says Livengood. She also says a basic guide to health is eating fruits and vegetables, proteins and avoiding sugar. She adds staying hydrated is one of the basic fundamentals to healthy living since so many people are dehydrated.
Staying away from some over the counter drugs might be beneficial says Elizabeth Meade, assistant chief of pediatrics at Swedish Hospitals. If you take ibuprofen or Tylenol more than two times a week, you could get rebound headaches.
"It sounds funny but actually putting a pen or a pencil between your teeth--not biting down on it hard but just having it there and create some space between your two levels of teeth--can relax your jaw muscles and that can actually do a lot to decrease that immediate discomfort from your headache," says Meade. Also, rubbing your temples for 10 or 15 seconds helps. Lavender, peppermint, taking a warm bath or getting a massage could also help because it relaxes the muscles.
"I've definitely seen a difference in my pain management," says Moffat. "It's really changed my mind and I try to help all my family and friends go all naturally."
Whatever you decide, make sure you talk with your doctor. Naturopathic and medical doctors can work in tandem to provide your healthcare as well.

It's always important to put yourself in a solid financial position, and one good way to do that is to dig out of credit card debt.
A structured, disciplined approach can help you get out of credit card debt whether your balance is $3,000 or $30,000. Follow these eight tips to get out of the red as quickly as possible.
Before you start reducing your credit card debt, know where you stand, says Cate Williams, vice president of financial literacy for Money Management International, a large, national credit counseling firm. "A lot of people will say they've got a certain amount of debt -- $9,000, let's say -- when in reality, it's $11,000 or $14,000." You'll never hit your target if you don't know where it is, so be brutally honest with yourself.
Action plan: Write down the debt -- and the interest rate -- on every card you have.
The quickest way to save big on your credit card bills is to negotiate a lower interest rate. If you can shave off even a percentage point or two, you can save hundreds as you pay off your debt. A simple phone call and a polite request may be all it takes. While your credit score will play a large role in whether or not you get a rate cut, it's not the only factor. Every lender has its own approach to this issue. It never hurts to give it a shot.
Action plan: Call up each credit card company and request lower interest rates. Want to try? We have tips. If you're successful, write down your new interest rates. If you are interested in lower interest rates, check out the best 0% APR and low interest credit cards.
Write down all your regular, committed expenses (mortgage, utilities, insurance, car payments, minimum credit card payments, phone, gym, cable, etc.), and track other variable expenses such as restaurant meals, entertainment and travel. This will serve as the foundation to your budget.
Action plan: Study up to a year's worth of credit card bills and bank statements to get an accurate sense of your monthly spending, and keep tracking your expenses with a notebook or financial software.
It's time to take an ax to some of those expenses. The key is to be realistic: You'll have to make some sacrifices, but you don't need to live on bread and water. "Cutting back can be more effective than cutting out," says Gail Cunningham, former spokeswoman for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, a leading accrediting agency for credit counseling firms. "It's hard to adjust your lifestyle too dramatically, and often, little adjustments can add up to big savings." Cutting out a single pizza dinner each week, ratcheting down your gold-plated cable plan and changing your thermostat by a few degrees can give you the jump start you need. Be sure to give yourself a bit of breathing room in your budget in case an unexpected expense pops up.
Action plan: Write down three ways you can cut back immediately, and cancel or downgrade some services. Divide your monthly discretionary budget into weekly allotments so you'll have a better handle on whether you're staying on track.
There are two common credit card payoff strategies. The first is to plow all your extra cash into the highest-interest card while paying the minimums on the others -- which is the fastest way, overall, to lower your debt. Once the first card is paid off, you have even more extra cash, and should apply it to the card with the next-highest rate, and so on, creating a debt payoff snowball effect. A second strategy is to pay off your card with the lowest balance first while continuing to pay the minimums on the others. Though this is not the most cost-effective way to banish your debt, it's the fastest way to eliminate debt on a single card, and it can be a psychological boost to eliminate a bill for good.
Action Plan: Choose your strategy, then rank cards in the order you'll pay them off.
In 2000, MIT researchers took two groups of students and dangled scarce Boston Celtic tickets in front of them. One group was required to pay cash; the other was asked to pay by credit card. The credit card crowd was willing to pay more than twice as much, their research found. "I've seen people save 20 percent when they begin paying with cash," Cunningham says. "They become more contemplative of their purchases."
Action plan: Store your credit cards where you won't have easy access to them -- but don't cancel them. Plan to pay in cash whenever possible.
Create concrete goals to stay focused. Maybe getting rid of debt will allow you to save for a down payment on a house, go on a dream vacation or stop worrying about every bill that hits your mailbox. Find a community to swap stories, successes, and challenges. A forum where you can feel supported -- where you can say "I'm so tired of trying to save money." There are hundreds of personal finance bloggers and forums where you pull up a virtual chair.
Action plan: Write down your goals and keep them in your wallet or purse. If you get tempted to overspend, take a look at them to remind yourself of the bigger picture.
While you don't want to spend every day fretting over your bills, keep an eye on your spending. "Revisit your progress every few months," recommends Williams. "You don't want this to consume your life. It took you awhile to get into debt, and it's going to take you awhile to get out of it."
Action plan: Put reminders in your calendar to check up on your finances. Keep the page with your starting balances, and compare them to check your progress.

I've been involved in the cartoon world more or less since 1995. As I've stated before, I think lessons learned there can often translate into the tech world.
This gag is from a comic feature called Argyle Sweater, which was recently picked up for syndication by Universal Press. Not to dismiss the creator Scott Hilburn and his work, but the comic panel is an obvious derivative of Gary Larson's The Far Side. (Btw, the gag shown here clearly needs editing…this was created before the UPS contract.)
Here's the thing about comic strips and panels: you must be first at captivating the public with a winning concept or you'll always be an also-ran, a "poor man's Bugs Bunny," a "no-hoper"– EVEN IF YOUR PRODUCT IS BETTER!
Another good example of this is Scott Adam's Dilbert. After Dilbert became a blockbuster in 1996, many a comic feature about cubicle-dwelling tech guys made it to the ponder piles of syndicates and newspapers, but none of them was ever picked up, even the one or two that were better than Dilbert has become.
The only reason Argyle Sweater in now able to be syndicated at all is because it's been over 14 years since The Far Side ended, so there is a new generation of readers. And even at that, Argyle can never hope to come close to the success of its predecessor.
The point here is obvious. FriendFeed isn't going to come close to Twitter's success, even though it's a better product. Lot's of people have been saying that Michael Arrington is arrogant (what else is new?! J ) for writing FriendFeed is in Danger of Becoming the Coolest App No One Uses, but Arrington is right.
Robert Scoble good-naturedly jabbed Arrington for saying that "no one is using FriendFeed," but that misses the point that no matter how many people use FriendFeed at this point, the window is closed. It's too late. FF and Twitter could have competed head to head if this new UI had been released a year ago, but Twitter has sense become a blockbuster. It's Dilbert. It's The Far Side.
Twitter is the product that has won the public's imagination. It's too late for FriendFeed.
And for all those who say "But FriendFeed isn't a competitor! FriendFeed is different!" Yeah right. Just the way Argyle Sweater is different. Just the way all those cloned Calvin and Hobbes strips submitted to my online cartoon syndicate were different. "But it's a bear, not a tiger!"
SIGH I have known cartoonists who have wasted YEARS arguing that their comic is different.
Use FriendFeed and enjoy it! I do. And read Argyle Sweater if you like it. (I don't, sorry.) But let's not delude ourselves. The only way FriendFeed has a shot is to do something spectacularly bold and different, such as using the technology to become something else entirely. My advice to the FriendFeed team (yeah, right…as if they'd listen, but what the hey): Take your skills and start over with a new product in a daring way. That could work, and there are still original ideas to develop, just like there are original cartoon concepts. It's just harder now.
This new UI, as good as it is, isn't going to cut it. And I hate to see talented people waste their time. Start fresh. Go back to the drawing board. Take your tremendous skills and try again. Don't be yet another frustrated creator stubbornly stuck on a no-win concept.

I just had a visit from the people at AVAIRE. I wish to retract my previous comment. AVAIRE stands by their product!! The representative used KRUDKUTTER on my floor and was able to clean the residue!! Just make sure you let the solution soak for a minute or two and it will work!!
AVAIRE FLOORING is a great product - it looks fantastic!!
I will recommend this product to all our friends!!

I'm not sure how we've gotten to this point. If I am not mistaken, you are located right here in Omaha. Please contact us and we'll send someone out to investigate. Our goal is to delight each and every customer, and you are clearly not a delighted customer. The office number is 402-505-7627.
A couple of points to consider:
1) Products like Magic Eraser are abrasive in nature. From Wikipedia: "Melamine foam is a made of a foam-like material consisting of a formaldehyde-melamine-sodium bisulfite copolymer. In the early 21st century it was discovered that melamine foam was an effective abrasive cleaner. The open cell foam is microporous and its polymeric substance is extremely hard, so that when used for cleaning it works like extremely fine sandpaper, getting into tiny grooves and pits in the object being cleaned." The ones we've found all instruct the consumer to "try in an inconspicuous area" to confirm the surface is not damaged.
2) There are hundreds of cleaning products available on the market, and we cannot possibly evaluate each to make compatibility recommendations. We have verified that Krud-Kutter works well to remove grout haze, and other citrus based cleaners are fine to use with Avaire tile. There are clearly some cleaning products that should not be used with Avaire tile and any other tile including products such as steel wool or any other product that uses abrasion to perform the cleaning action. If in doubt, please test the cleaner in a well lit, inconspicuous area.
3) I suspect the issue could be the grout haze (which is very glossy in nature) is being removed by the Magic Eraser leaving the natural glaze finish which, depending upon specific tile can be anywhere from a matte finish to glossy.
Once again, we welcome the opportunity to resolve this issue, but we will need to inspect the floor to determine the nature and root cause of the problem. Vickie - please call us at 402-505-7627 to schedule an inspection.

I see Avaire is not standing behind their product - there is NO resolution to the residue problem - they simply said that THEY do not recommend using MAGIC ERASER so .... they are NOT at fault -
I paid ALOT of money for a crappy looking floor!!
I am sure this posting will not make it to their website...
I guess I should contact BBB.

Didn't have time to test on the jobsite today so when I got home I had the kids color on the porcelain tile in the entry, it's the same type tile that Avaire uses.And yes my wife wasn't home! I followed the simple instructions on the package and checked to see if there were any warnings about using on tile, there were none. It cleaned the crayons very quickly so I rinsed the area and waited for it to dry. It left a dull chalky area, so I rinsed it again and it didn't come off. So needless to say don't use magic erasers on Avaire tile. I'll let you know what I end up doing because the rug in the entry won't cover it.Wish me luck. Thanks

After grouting, did the residue disappear?

Most of the time just the grouting process will clean any of the residue from the paper. If not i've used mineral spirts and had good luck. Hope this helps

cleaning sticker residue from top of tile
Author: Becky
Date: 3/9/2009 9:13 pm EDT
I noticed that as I pulled the tiles from their boxes, quite a few had paper/ sticker residue on top from the tile that was packed above it. I cleaned the sticky off w/ goo gone but when the tile is damp, I can make out words from the paper that was resting on it. How can I clean these tiles? I'm ready to grout, but don't want to risk the tiles looking like this when I'm finished.
