Support Home > Offshore Navigator (& Lite) & Chart Navigator (Viewer) > Downloads > Garmin USB GPS - Additional Units
Supports: Garmin Edge 305, eTrex Legend C, eTrex Vista C, GPS 18, GPSmap 60C, GPSmap 60CSx, GPSmap 76Cx, GPSmap 76CSx, and GPSmap 276.
New GPS Drivers
Maptech uses a series of "drivers" to ensure compatibility and connectivity with each supported GPS unit. We are pleased to announce that we have completed the work to support the following Garmin GPS units (using the USB interface:)
- Edge 305
- eTrex Legend C
- eTrex Vista C
- GPSmap 60C
- GPSmap 60CSx
- GPSmap 76Cx
- GPSmap 76CSx
- GPSmap 276
All of these units use the USB interface. In many cases, serial interfaces are also available - and those drivers are already included in version 5.08.
Version 5.08 or higher Required
Before installing these drivers, be sure that version 5.08 or higher is installed. You can verify the version of your Maptech navigation software by choosing "About" from the "Help" menu.
Chart Navigator Pro 2.0, featuring Offshore Navigator 6.0
users may use this patch without any additional update.
For Offshore Navigator (included with "Marine Navigator" and "Digtal ChartKit") click here for the 5.08 update.
For Offshore Navigator Lite (included on "Chartbook Companion CDs"), click here for the 5.08 update.
For Chart Navigator Viewer (included on early "Digital ChartKits", "Power Squadron Training CDs", and available for free download), click here for the 5.08 software.
These drivers are NOT compatible with earlier editions of these Maptech products. Failure to update to version 5.08 before downloading these drivers will corrupt your installation.
These drivers are not for use with Maptech's "Chart Navigator Pro v1.1" or "The CAPN."
Beta Software
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PATCH IS "BETA" SOFTWARE WHICH MEANS THAT IT HAS NOT GONE THROUGH THE USUAL RIGOROUS TESTING PROCEDURES THAT MAPTECH USES FOR OFFICIAL RELEASES OF ITS SOFTWARE. We are pleased to make these updated GPS drivers available to our customers, while development and testing continues on the next releases of Offshore Navigator and Chart Navigator. Because of the 'beta' status of these drivers, Maptech can only offer limited technical support on their use and functionality. Likewise, please let us know if you have any difficulties with these drivers, so that they may be corrected.
Beta Software: Known Incompatibilities
It has been determined that these drivers appear very reliable for transferring waypoints, routes, and tracks between the GPS and Offshore Navigator. However, extreme caution should be employed when using these GPS units as live position antennas. In many circumstances, there is a significant delay between the reported position, and the actual position. In other words, in a fast-moving vessel, the position shown in Offshore Navigator may be several seconds old. Therefore, we DO NOT recommend using these drivers for navigational (live tracking) purposes.
A work around for this delay can be to convert the incoming GARMIN data to the NMEA 0183 standard with utilities like Garmin's Spanner (for XP only) - or - Franson's GpsGate Client (for 98, 2000, XP, Vista, & 7).
How To Install
Click the link below. In most instances, your web browser will ask if the file should be Opened, or Saved to your computer. Choose Save, then select a location to Save the downloaded file In. If you are unfamiliar with downloading and applying software patches, we recommend choosing your "Desktop"; select Save In, Desktop and press Save. Once the download completes, double-click the downloaded application that appears on your Desktop. This will apply the download to your Maptech installation. Once that process is completed, you may run your Maptech application and (once working) delete the download from your Desktop.
Please note: Do NOT save this update in the same folder as your existing Maptech application. Doing so may corrupt your installation, requiring a complete re-install to correct.
Using the Drivers: Automatic Configuration with the GPS Setup Wizard
Once the drivers have been downloaded and installed, the fastest and easiest way to get Offshore Navigator properly configured for your GPS is to use the GPS Setup Wizard. The Wizard will automatically detect your GPS, find out its make and model, and determine what COM port it is connected to on your computer. The Wizard will then make all necessary settings so Offshore Navigator can communicate with your GPS unit, and vice versa. If any connection problems are detected, the Wizard will likely tell you exactly how to fix them. All you have to do is click the Vessel/GPS menu, then, Setup, GPS Setup Wizard and follow the simple instructions on the screen.
When the Wizard is finished, Offshore Navigator will be ready to communicate with your GPS unit. To connect to the GPS, choose Vessel Position from GPS from the Vessel/GPS menu. To activate the moving chart display, click Follow Vessel - found in the lower left-hand corner of the chart display window.

SIMON BORCHARDT finds out how Ryand Hattingh broke his neck in a schools match after his opponent used an illegal scrumming manoeuvre, and how, in a landmark court ruling, the latter was made liable for damages.
Ryand Hattingh never heard the crack when his neck broke on 30 July 2005. All he remembers, before passing out face-down in the grass, is his brain telling his body to get up, and his body – which felt like it was on fire – ignoring the request.
Moments earlier, Hattingh had scrummed down at hooker for Labori High's 1st XV. His direct opponent from Stellenbosch High, Alex Roux, had called out 'jackknife' before moving his head to the right to block the space where Hattingh's head was supposed to go. As a result, Hattingh's head was forced downwards and the scrum collapsed.
Labori's medic (a teacher from the school) and an on-duty fireman rushed to the 18-year-old. They turned him over, put his neck in a brace and eased him on to a wooden stretcher.
Hattingh woke up in the ambulance before losing consciousness again. He was on his way to Stellenbosch Medi-Clinic when the hospital informed the ambulance driver that it didn't have a Cat scan machine, and referred him to Vergelegen Medi-Clinic in Somerset West. From there a helicopter flew him to the spine unit at the University of Cape Town Private Academic Hospital.
When Hattingh woke up again his father, Ferdi, was there to gently break the news. He told his son that there was something wrong with his neck and he would need to have an operation. Having been in hospital before, Ryand wasn't too concerned, and he asked his girlfriend at the time to put a towel under his head to make him more comfortable on the stretcher. Fortunately, she refused. Unbeknown to them, his neck had been broken at the C5 and C6 vertebrae and if she had moved his head an inch the wrong way he could have been paralysed or killed.
The emergency operation was a success in that Hattingh would be able to walk again, but the nerve damage to the left side of his body meant he would never fulfil his childhood dream of becoming a pilot.
Hattingh, though, refused to feel sorry for himself. When his doctor told him he could write his matric exams the following March instead of that October he insisted on continuing with his studies. His maths teacher visited him regularly in the hospital and he wrote his exams at the school in October.
Hattingh also had a good support structure. His family and girlfriend visited him daily at the hospital, his rugby team came once a week, and he received countless letters from school friends and other pupils who he didn't even know.
Morné du Plessis, the chairman of the Chris Burger-Petro Jackson Fund, which offers financial assistance and emotional support to South African rugby players who suffer serious injury, also paid Ryand a visit. And when the former Bok captain heard how the injury had occurred he told Ferdi they should take legal action.
The Hattingh family considered this, but it was only after they consulted an experienced personal injury attorney, Allan Jones, that the case gained some momentum.
Hattingh's court case began on 19 August 2010 and was based on the fact that by moving his head to the right, Roux had not only broken the laws of the game (front rows are required to interlock at the scrum so that no player's head is next to the head of a team-mate), but that it was also a dangerous manoeuvre that resulted in serious injury. For Hattingh to succeed, his legal team would have to prove that Roux had executed the 'jackknife' manoeuvre which caused the injury, and that Roux's conduct was wrongful and that he acted intentionally or negligently.
Ex-Springbok prop Balie Swart was Hattingh's expert witness, while Roux turned to former Test referee André Watson and ex-Bulls and Scotland prop Matthew Proudfoot.
Having analysed the match video, Swart testified that Roux had blocked the channel into which Hattingh had to place his head, which resulted in Roux applying downward pressure on Hattingh's neck and causing the injury. Swart said Roux had been able to move to his right by loosening the grip of his left hand, which binds on the loosehead prop, and tilting his left shoulder.
Watson and Proudfoot claimed Hattingh's tighthead prop had not bound properly and had gone into the scrum at an angle (to his left, towards Roux and Hattingh), which had forced Roux to move to his right.
The video footage helped the judge to decide who was to blame.
In a shot showing the tunnel of the scrum, the head of the Stellenbosch loosehead is closest to the camera and Hattingh's head is next to his but deeper into the scrum. Importantly, Roux's head is not visible. The judge said that had Roux been in his correct channel, Hattingh's head would have been obscured by Roux's.
Video footage also shows that while Roux bound properly with his loosehead at first, he moved his left hand upwards along the left side of his team-mate. Upon scrum engagement, Roux's hand had loosened and moved significantly towards the middle of the loosehead's back. The judge said that given the positions of the front-row players, it could only have been Roux who pushed Hattingh's head down, and while the Labori tighthead had scrummed at an angle, it had no effect on Roux's position as there had not been enough physical contact between them.
Roux initially testified that this had been a normal scrum and that he had placed his head into the correct channel between those of Hattingh and the Labori tighthead. But Roux changed his story after seeing the video footage, saying that the Labori tighthead could have caused him to move to his right. The judge dismissed this version as a 'reconstructed afterthought'.
Roux also claimed that he couldn't remember if he had called out 'jackknife' and that the call, when it was used, was only to tell the forwards whether to push fractionally to the left or the right ('jackknife left' or 'jackknife right'). But, as the judge pointed out, if that was the case then simply saying 'jackknife' would not achieve anything.
Roux and his loosehead prop could also not explain why their coach had never heard the word 'jackknife' used by his team, at training or in a match.
The judge therefore decided 'that the more acceptable explanation for the use of the "jackknife" code is to indicate a manoeuvre which causes the scrum to "jackknife", ie, to collapse due to the opposition hooker being forced into a bent or doubled-up position'. (Swart told the court that the 'jackknife' call is used to dominate a team by disrupting – and hurting – their scrum, while Proudfoot said he had only heard of it in 'folklore' and had never seen it with his own eyes.)
Hattingh's case was further strengthened when Labori's reserve hooker testified that Roux had moved to his right in the first scrum that followed the one in which Hattingh was injured. Roux and his coach then argued that performing such a manoeuvre would not benefit their team as Roux himself could have been injured. The judge, though, said that as Roux's left shoulder would have come into contact with Hattingh's neck, the risk to his opponent would have been greater.
On 4 May 2011, Judge Fourie delivered his verdict. He said that the manoeuvre executed by Roux was 'a planned move, deliberately executed, well knowing that injury was a likely result thereof', adding that 'this is not the normal type of risk that a participant in a scrum would have consented to'. He then ordered Roux to pay damages to Hattingh, which could run into hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of rands.
Hattingh's lawyer, Allan Jones, said it was a landmark judgement that could apply to any sport.
'It has established a principle that when a player does something illegal during a game it is considered to be an offence and unlawful.'
However, the courtroom battle may not be over. Roux's legal team has appealed the verdict, and if they fail in that bid, the matter could go to the Supreme Court in Bloemfontein.
Hattingh has come to terms with his injury. The main nerve in his left hand is dead, so while he can close the hand he can't open it again. He has given up trying to strengthen the left side of his body through physiotherapy and gym work as it hasn't helped. The sensory loss makes it difficult for him to tell if it's hot or cold, and he laughs when telling the story about his shorts catching fire when he stood too close to a braai.
While Hattingh dreamt of becoming a pilot, he is also passionate about cars and is now a car mechanic. He struggled initially to find work after his accident – 'no one wanted to hire someone with a handicap' – and started his own car washing business. He then got a job at a car dealership but lost it when they had to cut back on staff. A friend found him work as a forklift driver at a paper company but having to turn around hurt his neck and back, so he had to quit. Hattingh left his next job at a car rental company because he was required to drive long distances and needed to stop regularly to stretch.
'My current job is great because the guys I work with are always willing to help each other and I'm able take short breaks when I need to,' he says. 'I'm a positive person. When people ask me if I wish my injury could be fixed, I say no. I'm used to it, this is who I am now.'
Hattingh says he and Roux have spoken just once since that infamous scrum.
'We were going into court. He shook my hand and said "Sterkte". I don't hold a grudge. If I see him in the street I will shake his hand and talk rugby with him. But that's as far as I'll go.'
I ask Ryand's mother, Christina, if she's forgiven Roux, and she takes a few seconds to respond.
'I have,' she says. 'But when Ryand came home from the hospital and got so frustrated because he couldn't tie his shoes, then … well, then I was furious with him [Roux]. But I'm just grateful that Ryand is alive and can live a normal life.'

Crusaders roll with leadership by committee
More information
Chula Vista Two large banners adorn one end of Mater Dei Catholic High's gym. Each is a long, vertical swath — complete with rosters — recognizing the Southern California and state Division IV championships won by the girls basketball team in 2009.
Mater Dei, formerly known as Marian Catholic and located in south San Diego, is in its fifth year at the Chula Vista campus.
The Crusaders have yet to lose here. That's 32 wins and counting.
Mater Dei coach Dave Monroe said this year's team, ranked third in the San Diego Section, is deeper in talent than the state championship squad, but this team is flawed.
"The big difference is maturity and leadership," said Monroe, in his seventh year as Crusaders coach.
Mater Dei is 12-5 and has yet to lose to a San Diego area team, but Monroe said the group doesn't have anyone willing to take the "bull by the horns and run with it."
Instead, he described a shared leadership.
Senior Ocean Escalanti is the only player left from the '09 team, but she sat out her junior year after suffering a torn ACL and isn't all the way back. Cardedra Evans, who transferred to Mater Dei her sophomore year, is the lone senior starter.
Mater Dei is beating opponents by huge margins, but Monroe said that's when the team's shortcomings are most evident.
"Another blowout win," he said after the Crusaders' 60-34 Mesa League win over visiting Olympian on Wednesday night. "Still, we're not playing like we should — a lot of unforced turnovers, which I'm not too happy about."
He said the Crusaders experience mental lapses on defense, especially when sitting on big leads.
"We're playing lazy defense right now," he said. "It's going to be my job to get them out of that because come the playoffs it's not going to be like this all the time."
Among the team's leading scorers are juniors Alexandria Young, who had 15 points against Olympian, and Brittani Lusain, who had 13. Both have played varsity since their freshman years. They acknowledged the lack of leadership but aren't too concerned about it.
"It's gotten us this far," said Lusain, a 5-foot-8 point guard. "We know we have a lot of flaws and we should have one person step up and be a leader. I think that'll help us be better in the long run. I think everybody has a night or game where they step up and lead the team."
Even Monroe said it's not necessarily a bad thing.
"I have five starters and any one of them can go for 20 points in one game," he said. "That's a big bonus for this group. I don't have one that needs the ball all the time. They like to share it."
The girls are motivated to maintain the undefeated streak in their home gym, where Monroe said the Crusaders can draw 300-400 spectators on a Friday night.
"The girls before us never lost," Lusain said. "We take a lot of pride in that. When we have a home game we fight to protect that perfect record."

A 30-year-old man died this morning after colliding with a dump truck on U.S. 42, according to the Delaware post of the State Highway Patrol.
Lt. Kevin Knapp of the Delaware post said that both vehicles drove left of center, but did not know who swerved out of the lane first. The two crashed Monday at 10:15 a.m. on the bridge crossing the Scioto River, near the intersection at Klondike Road.
Capt. Doug Kindell of the Concord Township Fire Department said that the truck driver was a little shaken, but did not require medical attention.
Knapp said the investigation was still pending to determine which driver was at fault.
The State Highway Patrol did not release the identity of the man who died, pending notification of the family.
Traffic was blocked in both directions of U.S. 42 between London Road and Ohio 257. The lanes reopened about four hours after the crash, according to Ohio Department of Transportation.
The collision caused an estimated 15 to 20 gallons of motor oil to spill across the bridge and into the river, according to the Delaware County Emergency Management Agency (EMA).
Clean up crews managing to extract about half of the spilt oil in 45 minutes, according to EMA director Brian Galligher. The oil on the bridge and near the shoreline was collected, although about 10 gallons was lost in the current, Galligher said.
"Sometimes there is nothing you can do," he said. "This was one of those cases."
EMA technician Bob Lavender said that traces of oil were picked up by a Columbus water treatment plant. That water was effectively treated, he said.

Beautiful Details!
When I received the stickers, I was so excited to add that extra touch to my envelopes for my wedding invitations that have the damask theme and these did the trick! The colors were beautiful and bright and the finish was flawless! No one will know I had these personalized! Also, they were so nice to include an extra 25 stickers at no cost!! GREAT product! Would definitely recommend!!
Great seals!
I ordered these to put on my wedding invitations but ended up having to send them out earlier so now they will be used for thank you notes! They are great even though I couldn't use them for my original idea.
Got these to dress up the envelopes for when I mail out my magnets and I'm glad I did. The color I chose matches the magnet perfectly and even though they say small they are actually much bigger than I expected they would be.
Beautiful and affordable Stickers
These were both beautiful and affordable. I used them to seal my invitation folders before finishing with ribbon. The design was a great way to enhance the chandelier theme without overdoing it.
multi purpose seals!
We used pocket invitations so these seals came in handy when we wanted a sleek way to close the invitations. We put them on the point of the invitation and folded them closed so the RSVP enclosure.enclosure card wouldn't come out. Everyone loved them! Quick and easy to use, and you can use them to seal the envelopes as well.

Pallets, straw bales provide alternative gardens
Pallet planting can be done anywhere any season of the year. (Photo courtesy McDonald Garden Center/MCT)
This publicity photo provided by Cool Springs Press shows the cover of the book, "Straw Bale Gardens," by author Joel Karsten. Skip the ground altogether and try planting fruits and vegetables in a bale of straw, suggests Karsten, an author, gardener and the leading evangelist of what's become a hot gardening trend this summer. (AP Photo/Cool Springs Press, Tracy Walsh/Poser Design)
In this publicity photo provided by Cool Springs Press, tomato plants flourish in straw bales lining the garden of Minnesota author, Joel Karsten. He is the leading evangelist of a straw-bale gardening movement that has become one of this summer's hottest gardening trends. (AP Photo/Cool Springs Press, Tracy Walsh/Poser Design)
Here are two easy ones to try, and you don't need a yard to use them:
Pallet planting
Materials you need include a pallet, enough landscape fabric to line the pallet on both sides, vegetable or flower transplants, 1 cubic foot potting soil and fertilizer.
Here's how to plant a pallet, courtesy McDonald Garden Center in southeast Virginia.
Place the landscape fabric-lined pallet on end and fill with potting soil. Be sure not to pack too full so that the landscape fabric is bulging, but tap the soil down so it levels out, making sure to fill it to the top.
Pick out veggies, herbs, or flowers in annual packs to use for planting. Those in cell packs are smaller and easier to work with.
Cut the landscape fabric in the shape of an X to create a small hole or planting pocket and sprinkle in fertilizer.
Plant the edible or flower in the hole and push any excess soil up around the roots.
Space edibles out on each row of the pallet, about 3 inches apart.
Finish planting by adding edibles or flowering plants to the top of the pallet. These should be more vertical plants.
When watering, make sure the pallet is vertical with the open/top side up and slowly water every two to three days during spring or fall and daily during summer when soil dries out quickly.
Sometimes water may need to be added directly to young seedlings. Be sure to allow enough time for the water to seep down through the soil to get to the bottom plants.
Tip: You can either hang the veggie pallet on the wall or lean to display your vertical garden.
Straw bale gardening
The new book "Straw Bale Gardening" details how to grow vegetables anywhere: think patio, deck, porch, courtyard, driveway, parking lot, roof top or in the lawn.
Soilless, straw bales give you benefits to gardening, according to author Joel Karsten, a Minnesota-based garden author and University of Minnesota horticulture graduate, including:
- All the advantages of a raised bed garden, including taller height, less compaction, back-friendly planting and convenient harvesting.
- Fresh, insect- and disease-free growing media each season when you use new straw bales. Older ones can be composted or recycled.
- Earlier planting time because as the new straw decomposes, it releases heat that's good for seedlings and transplants. Poly tent covers are easy to fashion to protect crops from night temperatures that drop too low.
He also shares how to condition the bales over 10 to 12 days, using water and fertilizer so the bale center decomposes to create the ideal environment for seeds and plants.
Planting mixes can be used directly on top of the bales to grow cool-season crops such as peas, beans and lettuces; trellising wire-type structures can also be used to support vining crops.
The 140-page book, which includes plant profiles for the best crops, is $20.

The Rural Revolution Photography Exhibit was conceived and curated by alumna Peg Tassey (RUP 1979-1981). Originally born as an idea to have a small exhibit of 3 or 4 photography friends from her 1970's classes at Goddard with teacher Jeff Weiss, the project grew as she reached out to all of the photography students from the whole decade. After finding people on Goddard's Alumni Facebook page and various email lists, Peg convinced 27 alums to crawl through their attics and find their vintage art work made in C-Basement on campus where the dark room was located throughout the 70's. Goddard's Photography department made up 1/3 of the student body back in the day and was known for its extraordinary faculty and adventurous students. Peg received over 800 photographs, and over the course of three months she wove them together into a two part exhibit.
The first part of The Rural Revolution Photography Exhibit was a physical exhibition of photographs that alums sent from all over the country via snail mail, many which were then matted and framed by Goddard Archivist David Hale´ and then presented in the beautiful and restored Martin Manor...each room having multiple artists' sections displayed in many different ways, true to Goddard tradition. The Opening Reception was attended by over 150 art lovers, many from the community surrounding Goddard.
The second part and a closer look at The Rural Revolution Photography Exhibit is the slide show. Many, many hours in the making, with the technical support of Goddard's Alumni Outreach Coordinator, Dustin Byerly, Peg also wanted to present the work of photography alums who could not send their vintage prints from as far away as Germany and India, but who wanted to participate and sent digital scans. The Rural Revolution Slideshow was presented at the 150th in the packed Haybarn Theater where it was projected on the 20ft x 20ft screen as Peg's husband, Indigo Ruth-Davis performed music he wrote for the event live, on cello, using a delay loop and creating an atmosphere that had many viewers in tears.
The energy of the 1970's was caught on film by these young students and faculty who were at Goddardduring a period of great change....and there is nothing that looks or feels the same. We hope you will enjoy this slideshow.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mazzie Love the style and size of this coin purse! Exactly what I needed to fit inside of my TB bag. In fact the color blends perfectly without matching exactly (which can be kinda overkill!). I'm very pleased with the ease in ordering online, the fast delivery and as always...the quality is spectacular! Thanks for everything! Also, the earrings (in same order) are great too. My daughter LOVES them. She hasn't taken them off since Christmas morning! How do I keep the earings from not tarnishing? Note: Although when I clicked to review item, it said "Page unavailable to open". January 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by mwinkelm Great small wallet The Amanda small zip case makes a really great small wallet; it's super cute in the tan with the bright shiny logo. I can fit my change, bills, credit cards and still have room for little extras you might need (sm. nail file etc.). I also bought one for my teen daughter for Christmas and she loved it! My only complaint is that I wish the key fob sat a little lower so you could zip it fully closed (instead of almost) with the key hanging out...not a deal breaker though as we are very happy with it overall.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JDB525 Love this item!! So functional! Bought this to replace a similar coin case I have that was much smaller. This is perfect and exactly what I was looking for. I use the key holder for my car key. You can fit all your cards, cash and coins. Love this item!! December 25, 2014

|Innovative Care: MRI Without Sedation
When it comes to ordering tests and procedures for the tiny patients in All Children's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), there is careful consideration of the potential benefit and harm. The NICU team's dedication to patient safety led them to develop an innovative way to perform an MRI of the brain while avoiding the potential risks associated with sedation.
This ingenuity was recognized by the Florida Hospital Association at its annual meeting in Orlando, with team leader Cindy Driscoll, RN, BSN, MSHCA, accepting the award for Innovation in Health Care.
Physicians and staff had wondered if it might be possible for these fragile patients to undergo MRI of the brain (the most frequently ordered MRI for NICU patients) without anesthesia. Driscoll, the director of All Children's 97-bed NICU, convened a team to design and implement a pilot study. Members included pediatric radiologist Evan Harris, M.D., neonatologist Anthony Napolitano, M.D., pediatric anesthesiologist George Alvarez, M.D., medical informatics director Dipti Amin, M.D., radiology director Mary Ann Bruton, Karen Theobald, ARNP, and Karen Schmitt, RN.
Aside from the MRI scanner, the key piece of equipment they needed was surprisingly simple and affordable: a vacuum bag immobilizer with a rigid frame that swaddles the infant tightly once air is pumped out of the immobilizer.
"We worked from the premise that infants fall asleep after eating, and that they like to be held securely and bundled," Driscoll explains. "MRIs were scheduled to occur after an infant's scheduled feeding. The baby would be bundled in the immobilizer and quickly fall asleep, and continue to sleep soundly throughout the scan."
At less than $800, the immobilizer may be the least expensive piece of medical equipment I've purchased, and it eliminates considerably higher charges that would have been needed for sedation with each scan.
Infants in the study were at least 36 weeks postconceptual age and less than six months postnatal age. They were breathing on their own without mechanical ventilator support and without an episode of apnea or bradycardia (slow heart rate) recorded in the 72 hours before the scan. They also were receiving at least half their total fluid volume through oral feeding. Eligible MRI procedures were those that did not require contrast and were not deemed urgent.
The percentage of infant brain MRIs performed without sedation and contrast went from 42.9 percent at the start of the study to 66.3% by the end of 2012 and has since exceeded 85 percent. Each time the immobilizer was used, the MRI was successfully performed without sedation.
"This effort resulted in increased access to MRI, decreased costs for the procedure and, most of all, it led to improved patient safety for the NICU population," said Dr. Harris, medical director for pediatric radiology.
Because the project proved so successful with NICU patients, the same technique is now used with patients up to the age of two from all of the hospital's inpatient units as well as for those having MRI as ambulatory or Emergency Center patients. Reducing the use of sedation also provides time for additional scans, increasing access for outpatient MRI studies.
"Our MRI without sedation project highlights the impact of collaboration," notes Dr. Napolitano. "Thanks to multiple teams working together, we've improved the quality of patient care by decreasing the risks associated with the procedure. That's an outstanding result."

I want some inflation protection but I'm convinced I will never be able to fully understand TIPS.
So, as we have been considering moving to a warmer climate, I am seriously considering taking the capital I had reserved for a TIPS allocation and using it instead to cover the purchase of a condo in Florida along with the ongoing cost of condo fees.
Part of my rational is that a personal residence is at least providing a real value regardless of what happens with inflation or interest rates.
If we bought a condo in Florida, I'm told the condo fees alone could run $500 a month.

We have just released Groovy-Eclipse 2.0.2. This release includes a number of exciting new features, Groovy 1.7.3, and fixes for over 80 jira issues. For this release, we have two streams available: an Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) stream and an Eclipse 3.6 (Helios) stream. To install 2.0.2, you can add one of the following release URLs to your Eclipse update manager:
Refactoring support
For this release, we have done some work on refactoring.
Extract Method Refactoring
(re-enabled) Describe limitations
Extract Constant Refactoring
Extract Local Variable Refactoring
Expand and contract selection
Code Formatting and Indentation
Quite a bit of work was done for this release on formatter related issues. The main focus has been on fixing issues that directly affect a user's experience while they are working with the editor doing day-to-day work: typing, copying and pasting. While typing, copying and pasting the Groovy editor performs a lot of "smart" editing transformations behind the scenes. Unfortunately, most of these features in the previous implementation where inherited from the Java editor. These implementations worked to some degree, but tended to be quite unreliable because of differences between the Java and Groovy syntax. In this release we are providing a brand new groovy-specific implementations for three "smart editor" features:
- smart paste: attempt to preserve relative indentation of code pasted into a Groovy editor.
- smart newline: try to put the cursor in a sensible place after the user presses newline.
- smart tab: correct the indentation of the current line when pressing tab at start of a line.
Like their Java counterparts, these implementation relay on heuristics rather than a full parser, so they should work even when the document in the editor is not syntactically correct. These implementations are brand new and we are looking forward to getting your feedback on how to make them work better and polish them up.
Besides these "on-line" algorithms that get invoked while typing and pasting. The Groovy editor also provides an "of-line" formatter that can be invoked explicitly by pressing CTRL-I or CTRL-SHIFT-F. Numerous bugfixes and small improvements have been made to the of-line Groovy formatter and indentor as well.
Better AST Transform support
Disabling AST Transforms in editor
(come up with a better way to describe this)
Reconciling of common AST transforms
(how much working already?)
What's next?
You can find more details on the Groovy-Eclipse Roadmap, where you can comment on proposed features and see our release schedule. More specifically, we are scheduled to release Groovy-Eclipse 2.1.0 in mid-September.
We appreciate all the community support and feedback we have had through the version 2.0.2 development cycle. If you wish to join the discussion about Groovy-Eclipse then please sign up for the mailing list. For any issues you have (or enhancements you'd like to see), please raise them in our issue tracker.

Lawmakers question DHS' awards under the EAGLE II contract
Monday - 11/11/2013, 3:56am EST
The Homeland Security Department's multi-billion dollar EAGLE II technology services contract is coming under fire by senior lawmakers.
Rep. Mike McCaul (R-Texas), chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, and Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.), chairman of the subcommittee on Oversight and Management Efficiency, wrote a letter to DHS Chief Procurement Officer Nick Nayak earlier this week questioning the agency's entire solicitation process.
"DHS took too long to make the awards, failed to ask vendor companies to update their pricing with a best and final officer, neglected to consider successful past performance at DHS and made awards to some companies with questionable track records," McCaul and Duncan wrote. "DHS took three years to award a contract that excludes many companies who have been working at DHS in favor of untested companies."
DHS awarded 15 large companies a spot on the seven-year $22 billion Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading Edge Solutions II (EAGLE II) program Sept. 30. DHS decided not to award many of the top companies under the current contract, including Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics.
DHS spent more than $11 billion under the first EAGLE contract since 2006, including more than $982 million in fiscal 2011, the most recent data shows.
DHS already is facing the first of what many expect to be several protests under EAGLE II.
STG Inc. filed a protest with the Court of Federal Claims Nov. 1 saying DHS unfairly excluded the company from having a post-award briefing.
"Specifically, STG seeks a declaration by this court that the agency's refusal to provide a debriefing to STG is arbitrary and unreasonable and an injunction requiring the agency to provide a debriefing to STG and suspend performance of any contracts awarded under the solicitation until it provides STG with such debriefing," court documents stated. "Under the present circumstances, it is arbitrary, unreasonable and an abuse of discretion to deny STG a debriefing. The contracts in question have been suspended due to bid protests filed at the Government Accountability Office by three unsuccessful offerors, and there are likely to be additional protests as the agency concludes its debriefings of other unsuccessful offerors. Providing a debriefing to STG, therefore, will not delay the procurement or cause undue administrative burden to the agency. By contrast, STG would be substantially and irreparably harmed by the lack of a debriefing because STG, an incumbent contractor, would have no idea why it was not selected for award and would have no meaningful ability to file its own bid protest, should it conclude that sufficient grounds for protest exist."
McCaul and Duncan are concerned that DHS is cutting out many of the key companies that have supported them for the last decade.
"A contributing factor to these questionable awards appears to be that requirements in the procurement were at such a high level and so poorly written that DHS put itself in a position where nearly every vendor company could meet the requirements," the letter stated. "This makes it virtually impossible to distinguish the true capabilities among companies, and allowed untested companies to receive awards. Inexplicably, one of the awards went to a company that was previously suspended from federal contracting after wrongdoing in a FirstSource contract at DHS. The company submitted their EAGLE II proposal less than three months after they signed their Small Business Administration agreement allowing them to perform federal work again. This does not make any sense."
The company McCaul and Duncan are referring to is GTSI, which SBA suspended in October 2010 and lifted it about a month later.
McCaul and Duncan asked DHS to answer 10 questions about how EAGLE II awards were made.
Among the questions are:
- Why did it take DHS three years to award this contract?
- Since it took so long to award, why did DHS not give vendors an opportunity to
update their pricing with a beset and final offer?
- It appears DHS discarded past performance and went with lowest cost providers.
Please explain why this is a good long-term acquisition strategy for DHS.
- The outcome of the source selection appeared to disproportionately negatively
affect larger aerospace and defense companies. How does DHS believe that the
companies awarded under EAGLE II can match the breadth, depth and performance on
contracts of similar size, scope and complexity for IT work that many of these
companies perform? What will DHS do to ensure taxpayers are getting the most for
their money on these IT services?
- DHS has directed its component agencies to use EAGLE II for IT support services, however given the list of companies and their potential lack of ability to deliver mission-critical services, what is the incentive for a component agency to sue EAGLE II?
McCaul and Duncan also asked DHS to quantify how much money has DHS spent on preparing EAGLE II and how much DHS plans to spend through the contract in 2014.
"DHS will respond to the members of Congress directly," said a agency spokeswoman by email. "Contract awards have been made in all nine EAGLE II award categories in an open and transparent process in accordance with best practices under the Federal Acquisition Regulation."

Product Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by LizW from Love it! If you're tired of having to watch to ensure your "business" isn't left behind, buy this toilet! We bought 2 for our new house and I just bought another one for our office. Yes it's got a powerful sounding flush, but there's a reason for that: It works! My husband rolled his eyes when I told him I was going to buy these, now he talks about them all the time to his construction colleagues. Buy it and don't worry about guests or clients being embarrassed!

Rated 5 out of 5 by RustyTheDog from Highly Recommend Excellent product, high quality, and built to last. We are having our house completely renovated and we just had two of these toilets installed about a month ago. We are very impressed with how well they function. In fact, friends and family members have inquired about where we purchased them.

Please be advised that the following information refers to a production from the Met's 2013-14
season. Explore our 2015-16 Metropolitan Opera Season to view the current repertory.
Marina Poplavskaya and Peter Mattei take on the roles of the lovestruck Tatiana and the imperious Onegin in Deborah Warner's new production of Tchaikovsky's fateful romance, which opened the Met season in September, directed by Fiona Shaw. Rolando Villazón is Lenski, Onegin's friend-turned-rival, in his first performances on the Met stage since 2009. Russian maestro Alexander Vedernikov makes his company debut on the podium.
"The charismatic baritone Peter Mattei sounded lustrous as the title character, vividly conveying Onegin's transformation from the aloof, coldhearted bachelor who patronizingly rejects Tatiana to the heartbroken man who realizes, too late, that he loves her."
Marina Poplavskaya offered an "arresting portrayal" of Tatiana. "[S]he brought an intense vulnerability to the role...rendering her awkwardness and torment in the first act particularly acute."
Rolando Villazón as Lenski "sang with confidence and poise... His impassioned delivery and heartfelt demeanor rendered his portrayal of the love-struck young poet entirely convincing."
"Stefan Kocan sang with dignity and powerful low notes as Gremin, Tatiana's husband. The supple-voiced mezzo-soprano Elena Maximova made a winning house debut as a flirtatious, lively Olga."
Conductor Alexander Vedernikov led "a supple and passionate rendition of Tchaikovsky¹s gorgeous score."
—New York Times
Eugene Onegin is a co-production of the Metropolitan Opera and English National Opera.
Production a gift of Ambassador and Mrs. Nicholas F. Taubman
