Washington, Dec 17 : Hollywood actor Dennis Quaid and wife have settled for 750,000 dollars with a Los Angeles hospital that gave their newborn twins an overdose of blood thinner last year.

A petition filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday shows that Cedars-Sinai hospital is not admitting wrongdoing as part of the settlement. It has to be approved by a Los Angeles judge.

Two weeks after twins Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace were born (via a surrogate) in November 2007, the hospital mistakenly gave a massive overdose of the blood thinner Heparin, which nearly killed them.

Cedars-Sinai, which was fined 25,000 dollars by the California Department of Public Health, has since apologized.

Washington, Dec 17 : Data collected during several recent flybys of Titan by NASA''s Cassini spacecraft has revealed new evidence for existence of cryovolcaones on the Saturnian moon that spew a super-chilled liquid into its atmosphere.

Rather than erupting molten rock, it is theorized that the cryovolcanoes of Titan would erupt volatiles such as water, ammonia and methane.

"Cryovolcanoes are some of the most intriguing features in the solar system," said Rosaly Lopes, a Cassini radar team investigation scientist from NASA''s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

"To put them in perspective - if Mount Vesuvius had been a cryovolcano, its lava would have frozen the residents of Pompeii," Lopes explained.
