In-flight fires caused by gadgets are back in the news after a recent piece in the New York Times warned of yet another risk: fires caused by the rechargable lithium batteries in handheld credit-card machines used by flight attendants to ring up purchases. The Federal Aviation Administration considers the batteries hazardous, and requires special training for flight attendants on airlines who carry spare batteries (some airlines, like Delta and JetBlue, don't carry spare batteries at all).
No fires from the readers have been reported, but according to the same article, in the last two years, a portable DVD has caught fire on a plane, a flashlight placed in a storage compartment exploded, turning into a projectile, and eight people were injured when a battery fell against a metal seat frame and exploded.

The HTC Snap has been in stores since the beginning of June, but I wanted to wait until I got my hands on one to give you a run down on its features. At first glance, the HTC Snap has a BlackBerry look to it, more so a BlackBerry Bold than a BlackBerry Curve . .

Sling Procedure Versus Burch Colposuspension
The sling procedure is better than Burch colposuspension in treating stress incontinence but may cause more post-operative urinary complications, according to results from an important 2007 New England Journal of Medicine study. In the first large-scale clinical trial to directly compare these two types of surgery, 47% of women who underwent the sling procedure had no urinary incontinence 2 years after surgery, compared with 38% of women who received the Burch procedure. However, 63% of women who had the sling procedure (and 47% of women who underwent the Burch procedure) experienced urinary tract infections following surgery.

FDA Warns about Dietary Supplements
In 2006 and 2007, the FDA issued numerous warnings about “natural” dietary supplements promoted for erectile dysfunction and sexual enhancement. These products -- marketed under names such as “True Man,” “Energy Max,” “Rhino Max”-- contain illegal substances that can interact with prescription drugs and dangerously lower blood pressure. The interaction risks are greatest for men with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease who take prescription drugs that contain nitrates.

I use three computers. I have a desktop with all my old data, a laptop for home use and a work computer. Over the last couple of years my music library has spread across all three machines.

Self-Management for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Men who receive training in lifestyle and behavioral approaches may be able to successfully manage BPH without drugs or surgery, suggests a 2007 study in the British Medical Journal. Men in the study were trained to self-manage their lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), a condition that often accompanies BPH. Self-management approaches included limiting daily fluid intake, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, and urinating at least once every 3 hours.
