Welcome to North Texas Bostons
I have been raising dogs for many years and am so exciting to have a nice group of adults. I have traditional black and whites but am focusing more on the red and whites at this time so that is what you may see the most of. My hopes are to add more non-traditional colors over time. Any boston terrier, colored or traditional, is very unique and I am happy to be able to raise them. No two dogs are alike in looks or personality. I enjoy their spunkiness and puppies will always make you smile.
Enjoy your visit and feel free to leave feedback on the "Contact us" page.

Town Square
Letter: Lack of transparency at Atherton council meeting

a resident of Atherton: Lindenwood

The lack of transparency at Atherton Town hall has led to an anything goes attitude amongst both the City Council and the staff.
The attempt by Marsala to steal money from the Library District to feed a bloated beauracracy, pensions that our residents can neither afford nor do the town employees deserve and to pay lawers at $300 per hour to fend off lawsuits resulting from reckless behavior on the part of Town employees are cases in point.
It is time to throw the bums out and get a fresh start.
a resident of Atherton: Lloyden Park
on May 30, 2009 at 8:01 am
The only time Charles Marsala faced an opponent in an election he lost.
Councilman Marsala is on the City Council because, during his initial run at Council and at the time his seat was up for re election, nobody else was interested in serving.
In my opinion Mr.Marsala is the product of voter apathy, mediocracy at best, incompetence at worst.
With all due respect, it isn\'t a lack of transparency it is a lack of interest amongst the electorate that Atherton suffers from.

TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.12 / 5.00 4,588 ViewsLulz of War is a parody of Epic's Gears of War video game series. This is a project that's been close to my heart for several weeks, and I've worked hard to make sure it was ready in time to celebrate the third game's launch. It's a small contribution to show how much my brother and I (we co-wrote it together) enjoy the series.
This was a lot of fun to make. I hope you guys enjoy it too!
I watched this like 5 times because it is so funny... lol .....trollface....
Not bad
The first one was the funniest and so very true, kudos on the rest as well but on a level of humor that first one definitely rated the highest. Next time try to make them all funny by adding something that the players of GoW can relate to, random things like the locust picking flowers for "the queen" aren't really that funny, it's a little kids joke. Still, I'll be looking forward to a Lulz of War 2 if you plan on making one.
Not bad I likes had a nice shizzle to it
This animation wasn't half bad. A parody that was well played and all, but seeing as you were on this for several months I would of thought you'd make the guns and what a not a bit louder as the samples that you used sound like low-quality wave files. I liked how you made the players well static since practically their huge characters in the game and don't do any kind of rash movement.
Also the effects with the....pardon lack of gears of knowledge....grenade launcher, was mediocre as was the whole whole head shot with the sniper. The explosion could be better since you got lazy and just used a circle shape, gradient shade and transparency. You could of really emphasized that, but a parody is a parody.
with the head shot, blood would of been nice since there is a lot of blood in Gear's of War. Same thing applies to the shot gun shot in the beginning.
all together not bad, I gave it a 4/5 and 7/10 because of the minor effects you put into it, but maybe aim for Lulz War 2 and improve upon what I pointed out. peace out.

The "Truthers" invaded the 2008 harris county convention wearing ron paul liberty t shirts.
That did it for me.
Then they ran around blurting out "libery" in republicans ears out of no where. Just screaming "liberty".
That was when I saw the light and GJTARDFEST capped it all.
I blame them for rons loss. They divided the ron paul revolution at the last minute.

Comcast puts VoIP on the Brink's
Comcast Corp. [1] and Brink's Home Security [2] have formed a partnership that aims to iron out a sometimes nagging problem associated with IP-based telephony services - proper support for and integration with tricky, legacy home security systems designed to work with traditional circuit-switched phone offerings.
Thanks in part to cross-training and other coordinated operations involving technicians and customer service representatives, the companies hope to produce more reliable alarm signal transmissions, faster installations and provide for fewer service visits.
In addition, the companies will co-market products to new and existing customers. On top of that, Brink's is offering Comcast voice subs a free "security needs analysis," discounts on installation, and a free second keypad install.
Comcast and Brink's expect to launch the program in as many as eight markets by year-end, starting with Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis and Jacksonville.
Comcast estimates that 25 percent of its Digital Voice customers have home security systems.
"We have been aggressively working to partner with industry-leading home security companies, such as Brink's Home Security, to offer Comcast Digital Voice customers a seamless installation experience, quality service, and knowledgeable technicians that can answer their questions," said Catherine Avgiris, SVP and GM of Comcast Voice Services, in a statement.
The agreement is also important due to the fact that some competing home security system providers tend to question whether VoIP services will work properly with their legacy security systems. ADT [3], for example, offers such customers a Q&A on the subject [4], noting that switching to VoIP/Digital Phone service from a traditional landline could affect the security system.
Acknowledging a "conservative" policy in this regard, ADT "requires VoIP users to keep their traditional phone line or to install a cellular transmission system to help ensure that their security system can communicate with ADT's customer monitoring centers."
ADT suggests that VoIP customers use what it calls a "Safewatch Cellular Backup" system, which lists for $249, plus $12 a month for monitoring. That fee drops to $1 a month if the customer takes the security firm's "Parallel Protection Package."
ADT also notes that it is working with "several VoIP service providers to offer special savings."
However, with some extra attention, cable technicians have been able to install VoIP services and have them work within the confines of systems such as ADT's without requiring that customers retain their circuit-switched phone service or purchase additional equipment or pay extra monthly fees.

The lens helical is half of an old Minolta MC 50mm f2 lens. Due to the size of the rear element assembly of the Schneider lens, I had to open up the internal opening in the actual helical part to 42mm and cut it down a bit.
In doing this I lost the slide which prevents the lens from turning which is why the grey mounting plate has a pin in it. The top plate which the lens mounts on will have a bracket which locates over the pin - a bit like a large Nikon pre-AI metering tab. this wil stop the lens rotating as the barrel is turned and allow the lens to move in and out instead.
Trying the lens out on my speed graphic, it only seems to need 6-7mm of movement to go from infinity focus to about five feet. The helix from the Minolta lens seems about right based on its distance markings. If it's not right, I will stick a new scale on it but being such a wide angle, I think there is a bit of room for error. As long as I get infinity right, I think the rest will fall into place.

Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 3 votes If you change the time on your 3DS, you need to wait 24 hours before time-based events work again. After a day your new times you set will work fine. For example, if you set it to 8pm when it's midday in the real world, you will need to wait until midday tomorrow until the time works in your game. It will still be 8pm in your game at midday real time. answered Jul 3, 2014 by Pokemaster Please log in or register to add a comment.

Abdi-NoorWill somebody help this dead mother bring her dreams to reality? She died when her boat capsized but her son whom she wanted to grow in an environment of peace and better opportunities survived in the tragedy. A human being is needed to step up here to finish the job for that lady by raising her child on behalf of her, taking pride, strength and energy from fulfilling the dream of a deceased mother. Suleiman is 11 years old and was found in the shorelines of Aden after the waves have pushed him to safety. As reported by IRIN this is what Suleiman says: "They told me that they took her body out of the water after it had been there a week. When I asked them how she looked, they told me her body was swollen and fish ate her eyes. Her skin colour changed and she lost her hair too. I am very sad because she died. May God have mercy on her soul. "I hope I will be able to go to school to fulfill her dream. I want to be an engineer. I wish I could hear the news of my family [the Alay clan] in Somalia too." Suleiman's mother (don't know her name) fled from her village when stronger tribes confiscated all their property and killed others in the village. She paid 100 US dollars to human smugglers in Bosasso, Somalia who arranged a boat for her and her son, with the hope that she will reach Aden, Yemen in about two or three days of sea voyage. But the boat capsized midway and killed 148 people. Life had put her in a situation of dilemma in which she had to choose between the sharp teeth of the shark and shrapnel of the rockets being fired by warlords in Somalia. Having Suleiman in this kind of situation is quite horrible but i feel deeply concerned about the dreams of his mother and speak or should loudly to the world in an effort to get a sponsor for Suleiman for the sake of accomplishing the unaccomplished task his mother had left behind. Her people forced her to live in misery and die in tragedy but would you offer her a piece of comfort in her death by raising her child. She must have been crying his name when she was drowning in the salty waters of the red sea. Much like million others in this ill-fated nation of Somalia, Suleiman is a victim of war. He is an orphan of anarchy. Thanks
Alone in an alien land he lives in pain He sheds blood tears from bleeding eyes In a dirty clan war he had lost his father And in a boat tragedy his mom had perished She ran from death but waded into sea of death Though drowned along with others in the sea Her son had made safely to the shores of Aden From here Suleiman knows no where to move He is suffering from psychological wounds Running deep into his mind heart and soul

Implementation of smoke free policies has potentially substantial effects on health by reducing secondhand smoke exposure. However little is known about whether the introduction of anti-smoking legislation translates into decreased secondhand smoke exposure. We examined whether smoking bans impact rates of secondhand smoke exposure in public places and rates of complete workplace smoking restriction.
Canadian Community Health Survey was used to obtain secondhand smoking exposure rates in 15 Ontario municipalities. Data analysis included descriptive summaries and 95% confidence intervals were calculated and compared across groups
Across all studied municipalities, secondhand smoke exposure in public places decreased by 4.7% and workplace exposure decreased by 2.3% between the 2003 and 2005 survey years. The only jurisdiction to implement a full ban from no previous ban was also the only setting that experienced significant decreases in both individual exposure to secondhand smoke in a public place (-17.3%, 95% CI -22.8, -11.8) and workplace exposure (-18.1%, 95% CI -24.9, -11.3). Exposures in vehicles and homes declined in almost all settings over time.
Implementation of a full smoking ban was associated with the largest decreases in secondhand smoke exposure while partial bans and changes in existing bans had inconsistent effects. In addition to decreasing exposure in public places as would be expected from legislation, bans may have additional benefits by decreasing rates of current smokers and decreasing exposures to secondhand smoke in private settings.
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable disease and death worldwide. Secondhand smoke (SHS) is defined as an involuntary exposure to a combination of diluted cigarette side stream smoke and the exhaled smoke from smokers [1]. In the United States, SHS causes over 46,000 deaths due to heart disease and 200,000 episodes of childhood asthma per year [2]. Public health campaigns have been designed to increase awareness of the dangers of SHS and many jurisdictions have enacted legislation to restrict smoking [3].
However, little is known about whether the introduction of anti-smoking legislation translates into decreased SHS exposure. There is also limited information on the degree to which smoking bans discourage smoking and thereby result in lower smoking rates. Fong et al (2006) evaluated the behavioural impact of the introduction of a smoke-free law in a cohort survey in Ireland in 2004. The introduction of the law led to declines in all venues including workplaces, restaurants and bars [4]. In this study, the relationship between smoking bans and self-reported smoking status and exposure to SHS is examined. Our main objective was to determine whether smoking bans and the type of smoking ban implemented directly impact the prevalence of SHS exposure in public places and the prevalence of complete workplace smoking restriction. Secondary objectives included determining whether smoking bans influence the number of current smokers and if they shift smoking from public places towards private settings.
Ontario's population of 12.9 million makes it the most populous Canadian province, accounting for almost 40% of the national population [5]. The 15 largest municipalities based on the 2006 Canadian Census represent 78% of the Ontario population and were chosen for study (Figure 1) [6].
Figure 1. Map of 15 Selected Ontario Municipalities.
In Ontario, smoke-free legislation was a municipal responsibility until the implementation of a province-wide smoking ban in May 2006. Each of the municipalities selected introduced smoke-free legislation from 1994 to 2004. A record of the introduction of municipal smoking bans for the 15 municipalities selected was created. Bans were classified as either partial or full. A ban was considered to be full if all public spaces were smoke-free. A ban was classified as partial if there was any exemption to the ban [7]. Figure 2 displays a historical record of the implementation of bans for the 15 Ontario municipalities selected from 1996 to 2006.
Figure 2. Historical Record of Smoking Ban Legislation by Municipality, Ontario, 1994-2006. Legend available in Table 1.
Table 1. Figure 2 legend
Municipalities within Ontario are structured in different ways [8]. This structure made it difficult in some locations to select one ban for an entire area, as different smoking bans could exist within the larger geographic area. In jurisdictions in which multiple bans existed, the introduction of the smoking ban for the area with the largest population was considered the start of the ban for the entire region.
The Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) is a cross-sectional survey conducted by Statistics Canada that collects information related to health status, health care utilization and health determinants of Canadians aged 12 years and older [9]. The survey is based on a sample of 65,000 respondents. The 2003 (2.1) and 2005 (3.1) public access CCHS were used and responses to questions about self-reported smoking prevalence and exposure to SHS were identified for the 15 municipalities. The 2.1 and 3.1 surveys were conducted through telephone interviews and ran between January and December of 2003 and 2005 respectively [10]. The information was captured at the level of the public health unit, as this level most closely resembles the geographic representation of municipalities. Five questions pertaining to smoking status were available in the 2.1 and 3.1 CCHS public access file [11]. These included questions about complete smoking restriction at home and at work; exposure to SHS at home, in public places, and in vehicles; and current and daily smoking. Additional file 1 includes survey questions that pertain to smoking. The 2006 Canada census was used for population composition and denominators.

This study employed a repeated cross-sectional design. Absolute and relative prevalence differences were calculated for questions on SHS exposure in public places and prevalence of complete workplace smoking restriction. To determine whether significant differences occurred for these two variables, 95% confidence intervals were calculated and compared across groups using the test statistic proposed by Carriere et al. This method is a nonparametric estimation and hypothesis-testing procedure for standardized rates of events. This test is applicable to both binary and non-binary events and recurrent or non-recurrent events. This procedure does not require any unrealistic or non-confirmable assumptions, such as a parametric distribution or an identical distribution for all observations. The variances are obtained using a simple measure of dispersion that applies to any type of event with no specific assumption as to the distribution; this measure is shown to be the usual estimator when the distribution is binomial, negative binomial, or normal [12]. Absolute prevalence differences between survey years were also calculated for the prevalence of SHS exposure at home and in vehicles, complete smoking restriction at home, and current number of smokers. Ethics approval was not required as public access files of the survey were used and no individual level information was available.
Table 2 describes the demographic information about the municipalities. The gender and age structure of these populations are similar.
Table 2. Demographic Characteristics of Municipalities in Relation to Smoking Bans Between 2003 and 2005*
Figure 3 shows the self-reported rates of exposure to SHS in a public place and complete workplace restriction rates for the 15 municipalities and Ontario from the 2003 and 2005 surveys. Overall, in 2005, 10.4-19.7% of the population reported SHS exposure in public places (13.0% for Ontario). This was a significant decrease (p < 0.0001) from the 2003 prevalence where 11.6-27.7% of the population reported being exposed in public (17.7% for Ontario). In 2005, 56.7-76.6% of respondents reported a complete smoking restriction at work (67.5% for Ontario). This was statistically significant (p = 0.0002) compared to 2003 percentages. Cities with the lowest SHS exposure in public places in 2005 were Waterloo, Thunder Bay, and Sudbury, all of which had full smoking bans.
Figure 3 also shows that areas in which anti-smoking legislation was introduced between the two survey years experienced the largest changes.
Thunder Bay, the only jurisdiction to implement a full ban from no previous ban between the 2003 and 2005 survey years, experienced a significant decrease in individual exposure to SHS in a public place of -17.3% (95% CI -22.8, -11.8, p < 0.0001). Durham Region, the only region that went from no ban to a partial ban also experienced a significant decline in SHS exposure of -9.2% (95% CI -13.0, -5.4, p < 0.0001). Of the four municipalities in which a change in partial bans occurred between survey years, two (Toronto (p < 0.0001) and Hamilton (p = 0.0052)) experienced a significant decline in SHS exposure (Figure 4).
Figure 4. Pooled Analysis by Type of Ban Modification. Ban Type Full Ban from No Ban: Thunder Bay. Partial Ban From No Ban: Durham Region. Full Ban from Partial: Sudbury. Strengthening of Partial Ban: Hamilton, Peel Region, York Region, Toronto. No Change to Existing Full Ban: London, Guelph, Waterloo, Ottawa. No Change to Existing Partial Ban: Simcoe, Windsor, Niagara, Halton.
Figure 3 provides a graphical representation of the corollary to SHS complete workplace restriction - the ability to smoke at work or SHS exposure. Thunder Bay at -18.1% (95% CI -24.9, -11.3, p < 0.0001) and Waterloo at -7.6% (95% CI -13.5, -1.7, p = 0.0117) were the only two areas to experience a significant decrease in workers' ability to smoke between the 2003 and 2005 surveys. No area attained 100% smoke-free work environments despite all fifteen municipalities introducing smoke-free legislation prior to the 2005 survey.
Figure 4 shows a pooled analysis of SHS exposure and workplace restriction by the type of ban modification introduced. Municipalities that implemented any ban from no previous restrictions had larger changes in prevalence of exposure in public places and work environments then municipalities that strengthened existing legislation.
The secondary impact of anti smoking legislation can be determined by assessing whether the introduction of bans in public and workplaces leads people to shift the location of their smoking to private places. Overall, less than 15% of respondents in each area reported being exposed to SHS in vehicles and at home in the two survey years. Only Thunder Bay and Halton had small non -significant increases (p > 0.14) in both exposures to SHS in a vehicle and at home. Respondents in nine municipalities reported decreased exposure to SHS in vehicles between the two survey years. In addition, respondents in all municipalities reported an increase in prevalence of home smoke restriction of 2 to 10 between the two survey years, (Results not shown)
Figure 5 displays the rates of current daily smokers.
Figure 5. Percentage Current Smokers, 2003, 2005.
Overall, smoking prevalence ranged from 16.0 to 26.6% across the 15 municipalities in the 2005 survey (20.7% for Ontario). Rates of self-identified current or occasional smokers decreased by up to 4% across municipalities from the 2003 to 2005 surveys. Sudbury, Durham, and Thunder Bay, the last three municipalities to introduce anti-smoking legislation had the highest percentage of smokers in 2003.
Study results suggest that anti-smoking legislation appears to play an important role in decreasing SHS exposure. Overall, smoking bans appear most effective in decreasing exposure to SHS in public places. They also appear to increase the prevalence of complete smoking restrictions at work. But they appear to have additional benefits by decreasing the percentage of current smokers and decreasing exposures to SHS in private settings (cars and homes). Overall, municipalities with full smoking bans had lower reported SHS exposure in public places and a greater prevalence of complete smoking restriction at work than in areas with partial bans. SHS exposure is related to the level of restrictions municipalities place on banning smoking in different locations. Our results are consistent with other cross-sectional surveys conducted before and after the implementation of smoking bans. Two cross-sectional studies conducted in Scotland before and after the introduction of a statewide smoking ban are in agreement with our results even though they measured salivary continine [4], [13], [14]).
Approximately one-third of respondents in 2005 still reported smoking exposure at home. This number is higher than percentages of people exposed in the European Union and the United States [15], [16]. Studies have also shown that smoking employees are also affected by these bans by decreasing cigarette consumption, increasing smokers' desire to stop. Our results are consistent with a systematic review in which smoke-free workplaces were associated with a decrease in smoking prevalence of 4% [17].
The prevalence of current smokers is similar to that reported in other jurisdictions [15], [16], [18]. This study highlights that SHS is still occurring in environments legislated to be smoke-free. By 2005, 20% of the population was still exposed to SHS in public settings, and approximately 25% of workers were still exposed to smoking at work.
It is a concern that anti-smoking legislation could shift smoking exposure from public to private places such as in vehicles as smokers have fewer locations in which they can smoke [19]. Shifting smoking to private settings could have a significant impact on vulnerable populations. The main exposure for children occurs at home [20] and it has been established that SHS in homes can reach levels seen in bars [21]. SHS in vehicles is considered to be even more hazardous because of the small-enclosed space [22]. We found that exposures in both vehicles and at home decreased following the introduction of bans. These results are consistent with the results of a cross-sectional survey in Scotland, which found no increase in secondhand exposure among children after the implementation of a smoking ban [14].
Although a causal relationship cannot be proven with ecological observational data, the application of the Bradford-Hill criteria can be applied in support [23]. First, the introduction of anti-smoking legislation was followed by declines in exposures in multiples environments across all municipalities. These results meet the consistency criterion. Second, a dose-response is seen in that municipalities with full bans had larger reported declines in SHS than partial ban locations and municipalities with no bans had the smallest declines. Third, temporality can be observed in areas in which municipalities introduced anti-smoking legislation at a later time had both higher rates of active smokers and SHS exposures and lower rates of workplace restriction. Municipalities with the earliest introduction of full smoking bans had the lowest rates of SHS exposure in a public place. Fourth, the association between anti-smoking legislation and exposure is coherent with our current understanding and the results are theoretically plausible as one would expect a decline in exposures after the implementation of a measure designed to lower exposure. We are, however, unable to meet the criteria for specificity as other variables may have influenced our results such as increased cigarette taxation.
There are some limitations to consider. Previous studies have faced methodological criticisms including the lack of individual patient-level information such as exposure to passive smoking. Ideally, a study concerned with the impact of SHS should assess individual SHS exposure. One should show that exposures to SHS have decreased following the introduction of smoking bans. To assess exposure we used two iterations of a large Canadian survey of SHS exposure in multiple environments. Using a well-validated population survey data provided us with a timely estimate of exposures over a four-year period. However, survey results were self-reported and consequently respondents may have given answers considered socially acceptable but that did not reflect actual behaviour. Questions were also limited to the population over age 12 and thus do not reflect children's smoking exposures, a population at greater physiological risk of SHS. However, it could be argued that rates of SHS exposure in vehicles and at home provide a good estimate of children's exposure. Finally, this study could only use questions from the 2003 and 2005 survey as the 2000-2001 survey contained one question about SHS exposure. This question is not directly comparable with questions in subsequent surveys. Exposure rates from all three years would have allowed relationships between smoking bans and exposures to be better delineated and trends to be determined. Between 2003 and 2005, only three municipalities (Sudbury, Durham, and Thunder Bay) had major changes to smoking regulations. These municipalities had large changes in exposure rates. For other municipalities, it is harder to determine the late effects of the introduction of anti-smoking legislation from underlying trends. Our results may overestimate the impact of anti-smoking legislation, as there has been a decreasing trend in exposure to passive smoking and the prevalence of smokers in most industrialized countries prior to the introduction of anti-smoking by-laws. Nevertheless, other research has shown a significant reduction in hospital admissions following the introduction of these laws [24].
In summary, this study shows that smoking bans appear to play an important role in decreasing exposure to SHS and appear to be effective in decreasing exposure in workplaces and public places. Unfortunately, this study highlights that SHS is still occurring in environments legislated to be smoke-free. The large variation among areas illustrates that smoking bans are necessary but alone are insufficient to completely eliminate exposure. Our study helps establish the relationship between the implementation of public smoking bans and exposure rates and smoking prevalence. In addition to decreasing exposure in public places as would be expected from anti-smoking legislation, bans also appear to have additional benefits by decreasing rates of current smokers and decreasing exposures to SHS in private settings. Consequently, the introduction of bans may help publicize the health impact of active and passive smoking on health and discourage smoking by restricting locations in which one can smoke. In this way, smoking bans may be another valuable tool available for encouraging individuals to stop smoking as well as providing a legislative means to decrease exposure to SHS in both private and public settings. Smoking bans and other smoke-free strategies could have immense public impact as it is estimated that one billion people are expected to die during the 21st century as a result of tobacco-related disease [25].

Children's heart unit will stay open after court ruling
NHS decision to close renowned Brompton Hospital is described as being 'unfair'

He thinks the harm medicine does is under-appreciated, the harm it prevents over-rated, and that cycling works better than most drugs. He was named Specialist Journalist of the Year in the 2011 British Press Awards.
Tuesday 08 November 2011
A nationwide plan to concentrate children's heart surgery in fewer hospitals for safety reasons was temporarily derailed yesterday after a London hospital won a High Court action to prevent the closure of its paediatric cardiac surgery unit.
NHS officials pledged yesterday that the plan would go ahead, despite the victory of the Royal Brompton Hospital in Chelsea, west London, which had described the proposed closure of its unit as "an act of bureaucratic vandalism". They warned that the bitterly fought case highlighted the difficulty of closing NHS services to ensure the remainder provided the highest standard 21st century care.
There are 31 surgeons across 11 paediatric heart surgery units in England and experts agree that children will be safer if the surgery is concentrated in fewer, larger units. A review was launched in 2008 following the scandal at Bristol Royal Infirmary in the 1990s in which children died because of substandard care.
However the plans put forward by the Safe and Sustainable NHS review, run by a joint committee representing NHS primary care trusts (JCPCT), outraged the Royal Brompton, which was the only one of the three units in London earmarked for closure. The review said its unit should be merged into those at Great Ormond Street and Guy's and St Thomas's.
The hospital sued the JCPCT, the first time one NHS body has taken action against another, claiming the decision was "irrational" and the result of a "classic backroom stitch-up". The judge rejected those claims but upheld one point that the consultation had been unfair to the Trust because of a "flawed" assessment of its research and innovation.
Sir Neil McKay, chair of the JCPCT said it would appeal the "disappointing" decision but gave an "absolute reassurance" that, whatever the outcome, the committee would make a final decision on which units would close in the spring. In a sign of how the court battle has strained relations, which will make future working relationships difficult, Sir Neil accused Bob Bell, chief executive of the Royal Brompton, of making "serious allegations of impropriety" against members of the review and called on him to apologise.
Mr Bell said the struggle had been "unpleasant and deeply stressful", adding: "We could not sit back and watch as flawed plans to dismantle our specialist children's services were drawn up by bureaucrats."
Leslie Hamilton, a member of the steering group for the review and a former president of the Society of Cardiothoracic Surgeons, said local tensions had emerged across the country over threatened units which would take "time to heal". But the national recommendations were backed by patients and professionals. "This time we are going to see it through," he said.
Mr Hamilton said the bruising experience raised urgent questions about the reconfiguration of NHS services. "I have been staggered by the number of hurdles we have had to cross. Everyone agrees services must close but no one wants it to be them. We have to come up with a more streamlined process."

Sunny and hot, with only slight chance of showers
Published: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 6:10 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 21, 2014 at 3:52 p.m.
A familiar-sounding forecast? Tuesday will be sunny and hot with a chance of isolated afternoon showers in Volusia and Flagler counties.
But it's only a slight chance. Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Melbourne predict a 20 percent chance for rain. The high temperatures will creep into the low 90s even along the coast, with a southwest wind of 5 to 10 mph.
The chance for rain persists until the early morning hours of Wednesday, with an overnight low of about 73 degrees.
High temperatures will hover around 90 with a 40 percent chance of rain through the rest of the work week.
The Florida Highway Patrol reported no accidents affecting traffic by 6 a.m. in Volusia and Flagler counties.

The San Mateo, Calif., company saw its shares soar 40%, to $18.20, on Friday after pricing at $13, at the top of its range of $11 to $13.
CEO Vladimir Shmunis told me on Friday, as he watched the ticker climb feverishly, that the company has been doing business for a decade, but in some senses was before its time.
Given that RingCentral lost $24 million on revenue of $73 million in the first six months of this year, had an accumulated deficit of $107 million, and promised in its filing negative cash flow for at least another year, I asked Shmunis if he had a time frame as to when the company might reach break-even on a cash-flow basis. The company is investing to capture an enormous market opportunity, he told me, which is more or less equivalent to, "Don't ask."

That early "B-to-B" commerce effort didn't pan out—another idea ahead of its time. The company was bought by computer software maker Compuware (CPWR) in 2004 and Compuware still owns 80% of the stock. But the fact that it's now a "cloud" company may explain why it closed up a healthy 26% on Wednesday's debut from its price of $10.

The company's loss of $5.6 million on sales of $91 million in the year ended in March was not as bad as some other outfits. CEO Dave McGuffie tells me the company has a timeline in which it can get to break-even on a cash basis, though he won't share what that time frame is.
ONE CONSISTENT CRITIC of the sky-high valuations of the new darlings is Paul Wick, who has been managing the Columbia Seligman Communications and Information fund (SLMCX) since 1989. He questions how FireEye will fare in a market of established security technology vendors with its outsize valuation. "Exciting technology," he says, "but Check Point CHKP -0.5005362888809438% Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.

"If I were the CEO [of FireEye], I'd be counting the days until the IPO lock-up expiration," meaning, when insiders are allowed to sell shares.
Of Textura, Wick offers with a wry chortle that the stock fetches "only" 19 times next year's projected revenue, a discount to Workday's valuation. "Time to load up!" he cracks.
Wick reserves his greatest scorn for FleetMatics FLTX -0.5790108564535585% FleetMatics Group PLC U.S.: NYSE USD41.21 -0.24 -0.5790108564535585% /Date(1425074553880-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 760444 AFTER HOURS USD41.2049 -0.00509999999999877 -0.012375636981315215% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 12866 P/E Ratio 55.689189189189186 Market Cap 1555553903.35358 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 351413 More quote details and news » (FLTX), which uses cloud-based software to help companies track fleets of trucks. A week ago it did its third offering since its IPO last October. The shares actually sold off following the offering, falling from $46 to $38, following a report by a firm known as Prescience Point that claims accounting "shenanigans."
However: "Even if the accounting is legitimate, the stock is still significantly overvalued," Wick says.
Shares trade at 36 times next year's projected earnings and six times revenue.
As Wick implies, there is something of a bubble in many—if not all—of these cloud companies. Right now euphoria and novelty are lifting them sky-high, but the skies could darken soon, and investors should be wary of a downpour.
