Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey's Wildlife Count Along for iPhone and iPad review

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey's Wildlife Count Along is a fun app for kids based off the popular Disney Junior show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. In this app, your child will join Mickey and his friends on a road trip around the globe to get to Mickey Beach. As you travel through different places, you'll learn about wildlife habits while counting groups of animals and taking their pictures. Early math concepts including sequencing, size, and numeral matching are constantly reinforced in the various activities and play-along games.

To begin the journey, you must first help Mickey and his friends pack up their stuff and get in the car. Once they're all loaded up, it's time to head to the beach, but Mickey doesn't follow the signs and ends up in the Desert instead. He makes this mistake over and over again which takes the crew to a lot of different locations. Mickey and his friends stay positive, though, and take advantage of enjoying the wildlife that are native to each habitat, finding groups of animals with a specific number of animals, and taking their pictures.

At each habitat, there are a few different types of animals that the Clubhouse members get to count and take photos of.

Once you've taken photos of groups of animals, you can help Mickey put together a scrapbook by arranging the photos by the number of animals in each picture. For example, on one page you'll be asked to put a photo with 7 animals and on another page you'll need to place a photo with 3 animals.

The good

• Activities aimed at counting and sequencing numbers 1-10
• Hands-on practice with key early math concepts of more than and less than, and group to numeral matching
• Match over 20 different animals to one of five fascinating habitats!
• Character voices from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and exciting sound effects!
• Original artwork and animation as well as fun effects such as Tap, Shake, and Tilt!
• Story extension activities for parents and caregivers
• Great graphics
• Universal for iPhone and iPad

The bad

• No iPad 1 support

The conclusion

If you have a little one who's a fan of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, they are bound to love Mickey's Wildlife Count Along. They get to interact with all their favorite Clubhouse members and learn about counting on the way. My daughter is just a little over 2 years old and thus a little too young to fully understand the goals of the game, but she still has loads of fun identifying animals, repeating numbers, and saying "cheese" when it's time to take a photo. In fact, writing this review became rather difficult when she discovered that I was "playing" with one of her favorite apps.

News flash: Lightning deaths declining

Floods and tornadoes kill more people in the United States than lightning does, a study finds.

In fact, lightning strikes have been the third-leading cause of storm-related deaths since 2006 and may soon drop to fourth place, below hurricanes, said study author William Roeder, a meteorologist in Rockledge, Fla. Only 28 lightning deaths have been reported so far in 2012.

Lightning accounted for 20.1 percent of storm deaths between 1982 and 2011, Roeder found, while hurricanes took another 17.5 percent. Tornadoes were responsible for 27.6 percent of fatalities, and floods killed 34.7 percent of people who died during storms.

The downward trend in lightning deaths began in 1940, with the urbanization of the United States, Roeder told OurAmazingPlanet. About 300 people died from lightning every year before the '40s, most of them working on farms or outdoors. Now, with changes in work patterns and the advent of national safety campaigns, Roeder's study predicts 31.7 deaths this year.

   1. Deadly cave may have inspired Hades myth

      A giant cave that might have helped inspire myths about the ancient Greek underworld known as Hades was once the site of a catastrophic collapse, researchers say.

   2. Family sues CIA over scientist's mysterious death
   3. Scientists crack the genetic code for wheat
   4. First Sicilians didn't much care for seafood

The drop to third place has gone unnoticed because of the way official statistics are tracked, Roeder said. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration keeps a 30-year running average, which predicts 54 people should die by lightning strikes this year. But safety campaigns kicked off in 2001 sharply dropped the number of lightning deaths each year, so that 30-year average consistently overestimates fatalities because it includes data from before the recent decline, Roeder said. "Running averages only work if you assume your data is isn't changing over time, which is good for floods, but not lightning," he said. Even a 10-year estimate doesn't completely eliminate the problem, because one extreme year will skew the result, Roeder said.

Roeder's work revises predictions of lightning deaths by fitting a statistical curve to the historic data instead of averaging over time. "That gives me the value expected for this year and in the future, and I can also put some error bars on it and answer questions like, 'Was 2011 a record low year for lightning deaths?'" Roeder said.

There were 26 reported fatalities in 2011. "That was just inside the error bars of what my curve said it should have been. It was low, but it wasn't statistically significant," he said.

Roeder is a lighting safety advocate who conceived national slogans including "Don't be fried, go inside," and "When thunder roars, go indoors."

"Those of us in the lightning safety community like to joke that we're putting ourselves out of business, and that's a good thing," he said.

Roeder said he would like to see even fewer lightning deaths, to "find a brand new way to bend that curve even lower."

"Lightning kills only about 10 percent of people it strikes. About 90 percent survive, but many suffer life-long debilitating injuries," Roeder said. Since 1995, more than 80 percent of victims have been men, according to NOAA statistics.

"Lightning is more frequent and a bigger threat than most people usually know."

The research was detailed at the National Weather Association's annual meeting in October.

With Some Geeky Tweaking, China's Web Users Can Easily Leap ...

While it?s worth remembering that most Chinese web users don?t bother to circumvent the Great Firewall internet restrictions (as folks have ample homegrown social and entertainment services), the WSJ reckons that more people than ever are actually leaping the wall to check out YouTube or Twitter thanks to some fairly simple geeky tweaking.

All it takes is for the ?hosts? file inside a Windows or Mac computer ? or an Android phone ? to be modified with a list of alternative IP addresses for a blocked site you might want to access. This can be done for free. Increasingly, more and more tech-savvy Chinese web users are helping out by maintaining updated lists of which hosts tweaks still work, and then making these lists available online. Right now, these can be found all over the web in Chinese, even on Baidu?s Wenku e-books platform, as pictured here:

Crowdsourced lists of ?host? file tweaks help Chinese web users access blocked sites such as YouTube. Click to enlarge.

One such individual helping his fellow netizens leap the Great Firewall is Felix Hsu, whom the WSJ talked to. He says, ?Lots of netizens are eager to get to know what?s happening behind the wall, but it?s not easy for them.? Felix helps run a site (sadly, no link is given) that collates these workarounds. He explains that the free service they?re providing (which was started in October 2011) saw a massive spike in traffic recently as China?s leadership changeover was met with deliberate throttling and slowing of many Chinese internet services. For one 24-hour period at the start of this month, every single Google service was blocked in China ? before some of them (obviously not the long-blocked ones like G+ or YouTube) became accessible again.

I get the feeling that most Chinese people who do this are only interested in finding fun things that most of do to pass the time on the web, such as watching kitten videos on YouTube. Nonetheless, Chinese authorities keep a close eye on overseas sites and often block those that are deemed to be carrying news that?s too controversial. That?s why the New York Times is the latest high-profile site to be blocked in the country.

Deaths more common on popular heart drug: study

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People with a common type of abnormal heart rhythm were more likely to die within several years if they had been prescribed digoxin, a drug used to help control abnormal heart rates, in a new analysis.

The research involved 4,060 people with atrial fibrillation, in which the heart's upper chambers quiver chaotically instead of contracting normally. More than two-thirds of the participants were treated with digoxin at some point either shortly before or during the 3.5-year study.

Dr. Samy Claude Elayi, from the University of Kentucky in Lexington, said digoxin - which is widely available in generic form - may benefit some people who have heart failure in addition to a heart arrhythmia.

"But in patients that have no heart failure and (have) atrial fibrillation, I think there is no reason to use this drug as a first line," added Elayi, who worked on the study.

Another cardiology researcher, however, said the new study isn't robust enough to warrant changing treatment strategies, and that earlier studies have shown digoxin is safe.

Elayi and his colleagues re-analyzed data from a past trial of people with atrial fibrillation and a high risk of stroke that were treated with a variety of drug combinations, including beta blockers and calcium channel blockers.

Over the study period, 666 people died, according to results published in the European Heart Journal.

People who had taken digoxin in the previous six months, the study team found, were 41 percent more likely to die of any cause and 61 percent more likely to die from a heart rhythm problem, in particular.

That increased risk of death was seen in people with and without heart failure, and in both men and women.

DIZZINESS, FAINTING

Digoxin works by helping to stabilize the upper heart chambers affected by atrial fibrillation, Elayi said - but it can also cause problems by creating a bad rhythm in the heart's lower chambers. That can lead to dizziness, fainting and heart palpitations.

The researchers noted that they didn't have data on what dose of digoxin people were prescribed - or how closely they stuck to those prescriptions.

Because the trial wasn't originally intended to measure the negative effects of digoxin, and people weren't assigned randomly to one arm or the other, the analysis also can't prove that digoxin caused the extra deaths.

Dr. Ali Ahmed, who has studied digoxin at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, called that a major limitation of the new study.

He said an earlier randomized controlled trial - considered the gold standard of medical research - did not find more deaths among people with heart failure taking digoxin. Other research, Ahmed added, has suggested that low doses of the drug can actually lower the risk of death among some patients.

An analysis like this one can't fully account for the likelihood that sicker patients are prescribed certain drugs more often, he said.

"When you do non-randomized studies, you always wonder, was it really digoxin or was it the other confounders" such as patients' chronic diseases, that led to more deaths.

"This should be taken with extreme caution, because of the potential for confounding and bias from a variety of sources," Ahmed, who wasn't involved in the new research, told Reuters Health.

"The fundamental thing is you cannot overrule the findings of a randomized controlled trial with non-randomized data."

'NOT A KILLER'

Digoxin can be bought for about $10 for a month's supply. It's been used worldwide for decades to help control heart rate, the researchers said.

Elayi said the findings don't mean that people with heart failure and atrial fibrillation shouldn't be taking the drug.

But based on his team's study, he said he would recommend other heart medications before digoxin for people without heart failure. However, if an atrial fibrillation patient also has very low blood pressure - which makes drugs such as beta blockers and calcium blockers unsafe - digoxin might be a reasonable second choice, he added.

In that case, doctors should prescribe digoxin at low doses and keep a close watch on the amount of the drug in patients' blood, Elayi told Reuters Health.

In addition, he said, "From the patient perspective, if doctors put them on the drug they should check their rationale for that."

But according to Ahmed, patients and doctors shouldn't worry about taking or prescribing the drug because of this study. Digoxin, he said, "is not a killer."

Wal-Mart distances itself from Bangladesh factory fire

112 people died when a garment factory caught fire in Bangladesh on Saturday. The workers had been making clothes for Wal-Mart, though the retail giant said it was unaware of the contract.

By Farid Hossain and Julhas Alam,?Associated Press / November 26, 2012

Bangladeshi firefighters and workers try to douse a garment-factory fire in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Monday, two days after a similar incident killed more than 110 people. No casualty was reported in Monday's fire. On Monday Bangladeshis blocked the streets near Dhaka, throwing stones at factories and smashing vehicles, demanding justice for those killed in Saturday's fire.

The garment factory in Bangladesh where a weekend fire killed at least 112 people had been making clothes for Wal-Mart without the giant US retailer's knowledge, Wal-Mart said.

Wal-Mart said the Tazreen Fashions Ltd. factory was no longer authorized to produce merchandise for Wal-Mart but that a supplier subcontracted work to it "in direct violation of our policies."

"Today, we have terminated the relationship with that supplier," America's biggest retailer said in its statement Monday. "The fact that this occurred is extremely troubling to us, and we will continue to work across the apparel industry to improve fire safety education and training in Bangladesh."

The blaze on Saturday was one of the deadliest fires at a garment factory in Bangladesh and highlighted how its garment factories often ignore safety in the rush to supply major retailers in the US and Europe. More than 300 people have died over the past six years in garment factory fires in the South Asian country.

Survivors of the weekend fire said an exit door was locked, fire extinguishers didn't work and apparently were there just to impress inspectors, and that when the fire alarm went off, bosses told workers to return to their sewing machines. Victims were trapped or jumped to their deaths from the eight-story building, which had no emergency exits.

On Monday, about 15,000 Bangladeshi workers protested blocks from the gutted building in the Dhaka suburb of Savar, demanding justice for the victims and improved safety. Some 200 factories were closed for the day after the protest erupted. Demonstrators blocked a major highway, threw stones at factories and smashed vehicles.

Labor leaders hope outrage over the latest disaster will prompt change. Tahmina Rahman, general secretary of the Bangladesh Garment Workers Federation, said government needs to do more to punish factories for safety lapses.

"The owners go unpunished and so they don't care about installing enough security facilities," she said. "The owners should be held responsible and sent to jail."

Wal-Mart did not say why it dropped the Tazreen factory. But in its 2012 Global Responsibility report, Wal-Mart said it stopped working with 49 factories in Bangladesh in 2011 because of fire safety issues. And online records appear to indicate the Tazreen factory was given a "high risk" safety rating after an inspection in May 2011 and a "medium risk" rating in August 2011.

For more than a day after the fire, Wal-Mart said it could not confirm whether it was still doing business with Tazreen, which was making T-shirts and polo shirts. The uncertainty illustrated how major retailers in the US and Europe rely on a highly complex chain of foreign manufacturers and middlemen to keep their shelves stocked.

Gaza conflict offers Egypt's new leader a defining 'moment,' but it's brief

The Gaza crisis has put Egypt's President Morsi in a tight spot, caught between his sympathy for Hamas and his country's reliance on the US. If he chooses to play the role of mediator, he may have little time.

The hostilities threatening to escalate into all-out war between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza concern the two antagonists first and foremost, but the course the fighting takes is likely to be equally consequential for Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi ? and for his relations with the United States.

Egypt?s Islamist president finds himself pulled in competing directions by the head and the heart. The fighting this week ? the result of heavy Israeli retaliation for escalating rocket fire from Gaza into southern Israel ? has the Islamist Mr. Morsi in a tight spot: caught between his co-religionists across the border in Gaza, on one side, and Washington, upon which a struggling Egypt relies for economic and military assistance, on the other.

For some Middle East analysts, this could be a moment for Morsi to emerge and establish himself as a leader to be reckoned with in the unstable and leaderless post-Awakening Arab world. But successfully maneuvering this moment will take time. And with Israeli soldiers amassing on Gaza?s border, the analysts add, it?s unclear whether Morsi will have the chance to even take the leadership test the situation presents.

?Morsi is definitely between the proverbial rock and hard place, but if he can pull together the elements to convince Hamas to stop the rockets ? and he can defuse this situation, then I think he can emerge as a leader in the region,? says Aaron David Miller, a Middle East scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center in Washington. ?But he needs time and space to try to do it, and I?m not sure the Israelis are going to allow him that time.?

The sudden flare-up involving Gaza and its Islamist leaders is also testing US influence in a region where the Arab Awakening has deposed a number of autocratic leaders more disposed to upholding a US-led system of security and stability ? including former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak ? in favor of Islamist-led governments.??

Morsi hails from the Muslim Brotherhood, as does Hamas, the militant Palestinian organization that governs Gaza. The rockets crashing into southern Israel have been lobbed by a collection of militant Islamist groups operating in Gaza, including some aligned with Iran. But after the Israelis launched retaliatory air strikes, including a strike that killed the Hamas military leader, Ahmed Jabari, Hamas has continued the barrage of rocket fire into Israel and the fighting has largely boiled down to a battle between Israel and Hamas.

Energy drinks tied to dozens of adverse reactions in Canada

Health Canada has received 86 reports of adverse reactions to energy drinks, at a time when U.S. regulators are investigating 13 deaths possibly related to energy "shots" in that country.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has received 92 reports that cite illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths after people consumed 5-Hour Energy.

"There are two 5-Hour Energy products that are permitted for sale in Canada," Sean Upton, senior media relations officer for Health Canada, said in an email to CBC News. "They are 5-hour Energy Extra Strength (en-140564) and 5-hour Energy Regular Strength (EN-140566)."

Michigan-based Living Essentials, LLC, says 5-Hour Energy is a compact-sized energy shot intended for busy adults. (CBC)

Both products need to be labelled with information including each medicinal ingredient, he added.

Health Canada's database of adverse reactions started in 1965 but the energy products have only been on the market in recent years.

Doctors in Nova Scotia are recommending a ban on the sale of energy drinks to anyone under age 19.

Earlier, the FDA also received reports that cited the highly caffeinated Monster Energy Drink in five deaths and one non-fatal heart attack.

No deaths linked to products

Health Canada recommends adults have no more than 400 mg of caffeine per day, equal to roughly two of the 5-Hour Energy drinks.

"If someone is thinking about taking one of these products, they should consult with their health-care provider to ensure that there are no underlying or undiagnosed medical conditions that could worsen as a result of using them," FDA spokeswoman Shelly Burgess said.

Elaine Lutz, spokeswoman for Michigan-based Living Essentials, LLC, advises consumers to drink no more than two bottles of 5-Hour Energy shots a day, spaced several hours apart, and for new consumers to drink half a bottle to start.

Lutz said in a statement that the company is not aware of any deaths proven to have been caused by their product.

Last month, Monster Energy said in a statement that it stands by its products.
