DALLAS, TX, September 20, 2012 (Press-News.org) New, first-time grandmother Cheryl Carter desired a way to share her collection of beloved lullabies with others. Then it came to her: Create an app that sets family bonding to music.
Carter's recently released app, Audio Granny, includes 15 classic lullabies, each arranged to piano accompaniment. As a song plays, the lyrics are highlighted on screen, prompting each line--word by word. Once you've mastered the song, simply turn down the voice volume and sing along with the piano melody; or mute the device and sing a capella as the words scroll. Each song includes a lyrics sheet as well as a vocal track.
The 99-cent app runs on both the iPhone and the iPad (you buy it once and enjoy it on all of your iOS devices) and features such classics as "Hey Diddle Diddle" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider" as well as lesser-known tunes worth adding into your lullaby rotation.
Adding to the experience, Audio Granny En Español ($.99, sold separately) includes a collection of 13 timeless children's tunes presented in Spanish.
The clever grand-mompreneur designed the app with text size control for those users with "grandmother's eyes," which enables one to enlarge the lyrics even while the lullaby is playing. Another highlight of the app includes a continuous play function, which comes in handy when, say, when you're putting baby to bed. Just click the Infinity button, and the app plays streaming lullabies.
"When my two kids were born, my mother-in-law and her mother introduced me to some unique lullabies. I learned them and sang them to my babies every day. I really cherished that time with them," remembers Carter.
Carter envisions her new app as a fast, easy way for users to create memorable quality time with their little ones.

Texas A&M Defending 12th Man Trademark Again
Texas A&M students, alums and fans overwhelmingly recognize the term "12th Man" as the descriptor of the Aggies' football team's fan base -- fans so devoted and excited that they rock the stadium during home games. The school went so far to trademark the term in 1990. The school has had to defend its trademark from infringement in the past, and the school is facing another legal battle over the use of 12th Man by a Minor League Soccer team.

Environmental Provisions in a Commercial Lease
Both landlords and tenants can benefit from "green" provisions in a commercial lease. An owner with environmentally friendly commercial space is more likely to attract high-value tenants and receive federal, state or utility company aid or incentives. A tenant can benefit by better worker health and productivity, as well as showing environmentally responsible practices to customers, clients and investors. Both owners and tenants can benefit from lower utility bills. The numerous reasons to invest in a green commercial ...

White Collar Crime in Indiana on the Rise
Law enforcement agencies in Indiana and across the U.S. have found themselves investigating more suspected white collar crime than in the past. Police are putting more resources toward sifting through boxes of documents looking for evidence of embezzlement, mortgage fraud, insurance fraud, health care fraud, bankruptcy fraud and other financial crimes instead of patrolling the streets. People cite a variety of reasons for the rise in white collar crime, and these crimes are often difficult for law enforcement to handle.

Proposed Drug Tax in Connecticut May Increase Drug Busts
Earlier this spring, a public hearing was held in Connecticut regarding a little-known state tax that affects anyone arrested in a drug bust.
In 1991, Connecticut passed the Marijuana and Controlled Substances Tax, which taxes marijuana at a $3.50 per every gram obtained in a drug bust, and $200 per gram cocaine and heroin. The state can collect the tax immediately upon arrest and the money is put into the state General Fund.
However, the state has not regularly been collecting this tax against the alleged ...

Penalties for a Texas DWI
Texas law presumes that drivers operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more are too intoxicated to drive. Anyone pulled over with a BAC above this amount will be arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated, or DWI.
In addition, drivers who are impaired due to alcohol or drug use may be subject to DWI charges even if a driver's BAC is lower than 0.08. Texas law broadly defines intoxication as "not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol, a controlled ...
