I know that feeling very well. And it won't stop for a while, I'm afraid. However, once the big stuff gets knocked off the list, you'll find it much more fun.
With all due respect, I think you need to suck it up and get out there. Don't use the excuse that it's going to be windy 3 hours from now to get out of practicing docking. No, you're not going to go for a sail, or even a motor ride. But you'll gain the confidence you need to be comfortable leaving the dock.
I know it's easy for me to say, since I'm several hundred miles away. But, believe me, I've been in almost your exact situation. You're spooked, and you need to prove to yourself and your wife that everything will be OK. The best way to do that is to dock. Over, and over again. Not all of them will go well. So what? As long as you don't do significant damage, each one is a learning exercise, and you WILL get better because of it. Don't let one bad experience stop you from enjoying your new boat.

ATP NY 2009 is almost here - SET TIMES & related NYC SHOWS (including Hopewell w/ a choir & on a boat)
by Black Bubblegum
DOWNLOAD: Hopewell - "Stranger" (MP3)
If you haven't noticed, ATP NY is a little more than a week away, and though there will be a ton of one-off appearances at the festival, one could ATTEMPT to see all of the bands in their NYC appearances. I prefer to kill all of it in one fell swoop, and that's why the ATP set times are below. For those that prefer the former, this post is also for you, as we rounded up some of the NYC shows that surround this mammoth festival.
One show we haven't mentioned thus far is Hopewell, who in addition to their support slot for Dead Meadow on 9/9 on a Rocks Off Cruise, will also play an "ATP warm-up show" at The Cameo Art Gallery show on 9/10 with a full choir (!) and projections. To be more specific, they will actually be performing the Desperation Suite set that they put together for ATP NY.
Want to go to Dead Meadow/Hopewell on the boat? I have TWO PAIRS of tickets to give away. More details on how to enter at the bottom of this post.
Boredoms are scheduled to play Boadrum 9 at Terminal 5 on 9/9 (at 9:09:09?). Tickets are still available.
The Feelies have set aside 9/13 for Brooklyn (namely, Southpaw -tix here) to play TWO sets, that's as many days after they play Crazy Rhythms in it's entirety at ATP.
Circulatory System plays Le Poisson Rouge on 9/9 (tickets).
Deerhoof is scheduled to play Le Poisson Rouge on 9/15. Tickets are on sale.
Melvins are touring NYC with Down, Weedeater, and Evil Army, hitting Nokia on 9/11 (tix). The band headlines ATP Stage Two on 9/12 (Sat).
Super Furry Animals have a pair of NYC-area dates scheduled, including Maxwell's on 9/12 and Highline on 9/11. Tickets for both are here.
Grouper is scheduled to team up with Tim Hecker for a show as part of the Wordless Music Series on 9/11. Tickets are still available.
Dirty Three play Bowery Ballroom on 9/13 (tix), two days after they play Ocean Songs in full at ATP.
The Drones are scheduled to play all of their LP Wait Long By The River at ATP, and will also play The Bell House on 9/9. Tickets are still available. Bridezilla will support The Drones at The Bell House and are also playing The Annex on 9/10.
And last, but certainly not least, Autolux & Sleepy Sun are teaming up at Bowery Ballroom and Music Hall of Williamsburg on 9/14 (tix) and 9/15 (tix) respectively.
Check out the ATP NY Set Times below....

DOWNLOAD: Wildbirds & Peacedrums - There is No Light (MP3)
Improbable recipients of the prestigious Jazz In Sweden 2008 prize, Mariam and Andreas [the two members of Wildbirds & Peacedrums] used their winnings to record at the Soundtrack Of Our Lives-owned Svenska Grammofonstudion in Gothenburg. Vocals and drums were brilliantly recorded live to tape, and the spontaneity of the resulting album captures the intense bond between the couple, while expanding their sonic palette to include steel drum, piano, xylophone, marimba, Rhodes and more. "We tried to deconstruct the roles we have as a drummer/singer, so Mariam plays the same number of instruments as me," Andreas explains.The Swedish group's second album, The Snake, just came out August 25th on Leaf Label. MP3 above. Video below.
Wildbirds & Peacedrums will be playing a trio of NYC gigs this September. The first is a "Wordless Music" show with Deerhoof at LPR on September 15th. The other two are a pair of opening dates for Fanfarlo at the Bowery Ballroom and the Bell House on September 21st and 22nd, respectively.
Speaking of Wordless Music openers, No Age's October 14th show at LPR will be opened by Woods. Tickets are still on sale.
All tour dates with their Black Cab Session and other videos below...

ATP NY final 2009 lineup -- Bob Mould (now official), Eugene Mirman, Menomena, Hopewell & more (but not Nick Cave)
All Tomorrow's Parties (ATP) is happy to announce its return to Kutsher's Country Club in Monticello, New York for the 2nd annual ATP New York festival. The event will be held Sept 11-13, 2009. Last year's festival, co-curated by My Bloody Valentine, was a critical and cultural success with rave reviews from media and fans. This year's Fest will be co-curated by The Flaming Lips.ATP has announced the final lineup additions to this year's festival. That includes the comedians who will be joining David Cross on Friday night, and official confirmation that it will in fact be Bob Mould who will be playing Husker Du songs (a whole LP to be exact) with No Age (who also just announced some NYC shows). Every act who plays Sunday will be playing some kind of special set...
Recently added were Crystal Castles, Super Furry Animals, Boris performing Feedbacker, Low Lows and "Oneida presents the Ocropolis" - where Oneida will transport the impetus, spirit and community of their multidisciplinary studio/performance space, The Ocropolis, to ATP for a full day of improvisation, collaboration, and recording, combined with the astounding Mighty Robot Visuals light crew. Other announced acts include Boredoms continuing their BOADRUM series, performing with 9 drummers on stage. Deerhoof will perform with special visuals by Martha Colburn. Caribou will perform as Caribou Vibration Ensemble, with a 4 piece horn section, 4 drummers and a choir and guests that include Kieran Hebden (Four Tet/Fridge/Kieran Hebden & Steve Reid), Koushik (Stones Throw Records), John Schmersal (Enon, Brainiac), Kathryn Bint (One Little Plane), Ahmed Gallab (Sinkane), Marshall Allen (Sun Ra Arkestra) and more.Other brand new additions to Sunday are Menomena, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Birds Of Avalon, and Hopewell.
Circulatory System, was added in the last announcement, and have since revealed an entire tour. Dead Meadow play ATP on Saturday and will perform on a boat in NYC that same week. The Feelies have a Brooklyn show scheduled. Super Furry Animals play NYC and NJ in addition to ATP. The list of related shows goes on...
Unfortunately missing from the ATP NY schedule is Nick Cave - not that he was ever supposed to be there, but in addition to being very involved with ATP in general, he was recently confirmed to be only a short car ride away just one day after the festival ends. Full 2009 lineup below...

Sufjan Stevens w/ Clogs @ BAM in February (more by Kyle Dean Reinford)
We are extremely excited to announce the addition of Sufjan Stevens to the ATP-curated Saturday lineup. Stevens, who will be releasing Run Rabbit Run (a re-arrangement of his 2001 album Enjoy Your Rabbit) in October, has not played a US show in over two years, and this is sure to be a special performance. [ATP NY]Sufjan is one of the most recent additions to ATP NY, running September 11th-13th in Monticello, NY. It'll be his first show in a while, though over the past year Sufjan has made appearances joining St. Vincent at BAM, The Welcome Wagon at St. Paul's Lutheran and the Clogs with My Brightest Diamond (which you can see above) again at BAM .
Sufjan will be joined on the Saturday bill by new additions Shellac, Circulatory System and Grouper (who we previously announced).
On the Sunday, the Flaming Lips-curated bill has added Crystal Castles, who has been touring North America and Europe. They're also on the schedule for All Points West on August 1st.
Other Sunday additions are Super Furry Animals (who are also playing Maxwell's and Highline Ballroom), Boris, Low Lows and Oneida, the latter of which will perform a special set, described below...
"Oneida presents the Ocropolis" - where Oneida will transport the impetus, spirit and community of their multidisciplinary studio/performance space, The Ocropolis, to ATP for a full day of improvisation, collaboration, and recording, combined with the astounding Mighty Robot Visuals light crew.Limited tickets for the fest are still on sale.

Singer/bassist Satomi Matsuzaki wore a furry tiger mask, took it off, did robotic calisthenics, walked around in circles, and sometimes just stood still and played straight.Deerhoof played WA's Sasquatch Fest on Memorial Day.
The band's set was a stop-start joy. Songs were composed-sounding fragments of different ideas stitched together -- chill-out radio jam, head-bobbing staccatto rock, noisy (but not too loud) time signature experiment: all were conveyed with an exuberant sense of discovery. Totally engaging. [Seattle Times on Deerhoof at Sasquatch 2009]
The band is now touring Europe through July, but returns for a pair of West Coast dates at the end of that month. Then their scheduled appearance at All Tomorrows Parties NY on September 13th will be accompanied by a string of East Coast shows. One of those will be September 15th at NYC's (Le) Poisson Rouge. No ticket info yet.
Check out a video, and more pictures from their set at Sasquatch, and all tour dates below....

Akron/Family played the final song at the Knitting Factory (Josh Haner/The NY Times)
"It was a particularly cacophonous performance of "Auld Lang Syne." But for the Knitting Factory's last night in Manhattan, it was appropriate, as the shaggy avant-folk group Akron/Family led a version of the Scots New Year's hymn on Wednesday night that mutated from a simple singalong to screeching feedback to a meditative one-note drone." [NY TIMES]The NYC club is closed, but that's not the last of "Knitting Factory". In addition to the locations in Hollywood, Boise and Spokane that are still open, Knitting Factory Brooklyn is supposedly opening in March. Knitting Factory is also currently promoting/presenting some shows at The Studio @ Webster Hall - two at least:
- Jan 09 - Bear Hands, Holy Hail, Atarah Valentine & Statehood
- Jan 24 - Oxford Collapse, Suckers & Real Estate

Fun Fun Fun Fest (a music festival this weekend in Austin) successfully mixes punk, indie, singer-songwriter, hardcore, dance, hip-hop, metal, comedy, new and old. For instance, after blowing my mind to the thrash metal stylings of Municipal Waste, I immediately ran over to catch the end of Bishop Allen's family friendly indie rock set. I like that. One of the bad things, like most festivals, is how much overlaps. On Saturday I had to completely give up seeing The National, Z-Trip, Neil Hamburger, Yacht, and Hawnay Troof. Tonight (Sunday, November 9th), I'll probably have to miss all of Clipse, Tim & Eric, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, in favor of seeing Bad Brains. I also have to decide between Bouncing Souls and Minus the Bear.
Highlights from day one (yesterday, Saturday) included Dead Milkmen, Municipal Waste (wall of death), Dead Milkmen, Walter Schreifel's solo set (Rival Schools was good too), Dead Milkmen, Killdozer (killed it), Dead Milkmen, Dan Deacon (camp counselor of the year), Dead Milkmen, and Krumbums (punk is not dead). What I caught of Octopus Project, Trail of Dead and Deerhoof was also great. If I say anymore, I'll be late for Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears and/or Kevin Seconds. For now, here are some more pictures from day one...

President Roosevelt signing the declaration of war against Japan in 1941. Franklin Delano Roosevelt ( 1882-1945) was the 32nd President of the United States (1933-1945) and a central figure in world events during the mid-20th century, leading the United States during a time of worldwide economic crisis and world war.

No answers yet on tax protests
The Tunica County Tax Assessor's Office stands behind its current property assessments.
Tax consultant Bill Bryant defended several assessments or valuations of property for tax purposes during last week's Board of Supervisors meeting.
Tunica County heard protests from four casinos – Fitzgeralds, Resorts, Hollywood and Bally's – and two other businesses.
Two men representing the casino properties collectively challenged the method being used by the county to calculate the assessments.

A Federal Communications Commission requirement that public safety agencies operate radios on narrower bandwidth, combined with expanding residential development, add to dead spot problems faced by 9-1-1 dispatchers in Sandoval County, N.M. Monte Roberts, who runs the Regional Emergency Communications Center, said there are times when officers lose contact with dispatchers. One near-term solution is moving an existing communications tower and putting additional equipment on a private company's cellphone tower.

It is hype. When you read a bunch of topics like this every day is hype.
And it is not even a Vita game, is a PS2 game. thats the sad part.
OOt and persona 4 are not even the same genre, there is no point in comparing them, and it only leads to fanboy wars.

GeminiX7 posted...Akagehisa posted...And yet, Persona 3 is better,,,
Hype comes before you see a game. When you get previews of something, and people blow it up to be something greater than what it actually is. When you have a hype-man in boxing or rapping, he's promoting the fighter's next bout or the musician's next album. If the game comes out and people sing it's praises still, it's not hype. It's thier favorable opinion. Again, you don't like the game, which is completely fine, but you seem to assume your opinion is divine law, or holds more weight than others for whatever reason, so when people show appreciation for the game, it has to be "wrong" in some way. In your case, you just call it hype.
No one is saying it's an original game. No one is saying that it's a replacement for OoT(just that it ranked around the same as OoT in someone else's mind). You are pulling those issues out your arse because you can't accept people genuinely love the game just because you don't.

Have u ever played FFVI or Crono Trigger ?
lol no
It's a good game, but not a great game. It's not even in my top 10 let alone being my favorite megaten title. Hell I easily prefer both P2s and P3 over it. Also the story isn't that great. It's mediocre to average at best. The characters and gameplay is the only thing good about it.

IntellivisionRetrogaming History
Tron Deadly Discs è inizialmente un titolo piacevole. Purtoppo l'eccessiva ripetitività e la mancanza di diverse modalità di gioco lo rendono inefficace a lungo termine. Un pregio di questa cartuccia sta nel fatto che riesce a fare un buon utilizzo del controller dell'Intellivision, un sistema di input non proprio facile da usare. Ritengo, comunque, che questa versione sia meglio di quella per Atari 2600 ma è ancora troppo poco per valere un voto con i fiocchi
Atari 2600Game Freaks 365
The graphics and the sound are fairly good for 1982. I have no major complaints in that area. My only major complaint is the fact that there is only the one game mode. The game select switch does nothing. As a result, this game has the possibility of becoming repetitive. Add to that a hero that doesn't move as fast as I would like and you have the makings of a game that can and will cause some minor frustration at times. Between the lack of game modes and the possibility of some frustration, I would say that this particular game isn't for everybody, but it is not a bad game and is certainly worth taking the time to play a little.
Atari 2600Retrogaming History
Un giochino piacevole ma molto ripetitivo. La realizzazione è caratterizzata da buone animazioni e da un sonoro sufficiente che si contrappongono ad un'arena dallo scarso dettaglio grafico. Se volete a tutti i costi questo gioco, provate la versione per Intellivision credo che la troverete migliore
IntellivisionThe Video Game Critic
Tron's crisp sound effects are impressive. When you strike an attacker with your disc, it makes an amazing shattering sound that's so clear you'd think it was real. The low, rumbling sound of the boss making his entrance is notable as well. Despite its cool bells and whistles however, Deadly Discs is not as exciting as you might think. Your disc travels slowly, and you have to wait for it to bounce off a wall and return to you. For some idiotic reason the discs are harmless on their return flight. Too bad - I'm quite certain this game would be twice as fun if you could nail enemies on the rebound. Another issue is the difficulty level. The first few waves are easy, and by the time the challenge kicks in your thumb will be getting sore. Tron Deadly Discs shows flashes of brilliance, but its leisurely pace prevents it from being great.
Atari 2600The Video Game Critic
As a result, this edition feels second-rate. In addition, an astute reader noted that it takes far too long for the serious challenge to kick in. With no variety in the stages, Deadly Disc's gameplay quickly becomes monotonous.

Man who killed aunt sentenced to 65 years
ROCKPORT, Ind. - A Rockport, Ind., man was sentenced to 65 years in prison Monday after a Spencer County, Ind., judge accepted his plea of guilty but mentally ill in the stabbing death of the man's aunt.
Jason Eric Watson, 40, pleaded guilty but mentally ill in May.
Watson was arrested and charged with murder in March 2009 in the death of 54-year-old Terri Ann Smithers. He had recently moved in with Smithers, who was found dead at her Rockport home, according to Indiana State Police investigators.
Spencer County Prosecutor Kelly Johnson said Watson had a full competency hearing in May to determine whether he was competent to stand trial. Spencer Circuit Court Judge Jonathan Dartt ruled Watson was competent but had a history of mental illness.
Now, Johnson said, Watson will receive a full psychiatric evaluation to determine where he should be placed within the Indiana Department of Corrections.
"He will serve his full sentence," Johnson said.
Johnson said several members of Smithers' family attended the sentencing hearing. She said the family agreed with the sentence.
"Many of them felt they had lost two family members because this was her nephew," Johnson said.

as a title said .. i need someone who make me a pro and attractive hosting & designe company template
its urgently and i pay 100$ via envato
im waiting
exmeple of colors : like this
I don't think you understand the work involved in creating a template. First you need to conceptualize the design, which can take a long time depending on how detail oriented you are. Then you need to actually finalize it in a program such as Photoshop or Fireworks. Depending on complications, this can take a long time too.
The next step is usually splicing the image and converting to HTML /CSS, which brings on a whole new level of complications and problems that need to be worked out, and can be the most time-consuming portion of the entire thing.
All in all, it would take at least 1 week to ~2.5 weeks to produce what you are asking for, and only receiving $100 would be a hit.
So might I suggest going through this list from the Site Templates "Hosting" category? http://themeforest.net/category/site-templates/technology/hosting
listen man thank you for your replay
i will see another who like to work .
and i dont need a work of 1 week … juste a good and attractive template .. 2 day its
i can pay also 150$ no more
Jar has summed it all…
i would like to know what you mean by "i pay 100$ via envato"?
And if its not SOO urgent, i'm available for freelance
~ campolar
100$ via envato its that i pay your items .. and i know that you receive 40% .. but you recieve 100$ net
yes its urgently and i have posted the exemple of colore and buttons
What I was trying to tell you is that if you want a quality design from one of the great authors here, you will need to wait much longer than 2 days.
Jar thank you so much
now you want to work ? or what ?
What? No, sorry, I'm not focusing on freelance right now, I'm focusing on my design skills.
good luck
waiting for people who like work

HP Unveils TouchPad Tablet With Palm WebOS
Hewlett-Packard Co. unveiled a TouchPad tablet computer on Wednesday as its initial entry into a fast-growing market dominated by Apple Inc.'s iPad and devices running Google Inc.'s software.
The company said the 9.7-inch "TouchPad" will be released this summer, and will be powered by Palm's well-regarded webOS operating system.
HP is betting that there remains enough room in the lucrative tablet computing market for yet another mobile software platform.
However, it's a risky move, underscored by the fact Nokia may abandon its own software in favor of Google's or Microsoft Corp's.
Jon Rubinstein, HP's senior vice president, unveiled the new TouchPad to widespread praise in a pavilion in San Francisco.
"TouchPad is more than just a pretty face," said Rubinstein, who was part of the Apple team that launched the iPod.
"The TouchPad is all about you; how you work, play, and connect with the things you value most," he said.
TouchPad will be the first tablet in a portfolio of products running Palm's webOS software platform.
HP acquired Palm last year in a $1.2-billion deal. Rubenstein was chief executive of Palm at the time.
"No one has come close to replicating our webOS experience," said Rubinstein.
The new TouchPad includes 9.7-inch display and weighs about 1.5 pounds — the same weight and screen size as the iPad.
Rubenstein did not disclose the price, but said the TouchPad includes a Qualcomm processor that is "screaming fast".
The TouchPad software allows for easy multi-tasking, and supports Adobe Flash software typically used in online video.
The device also features a camera for video calling, in contrast to the iPad, which does not run Flash or have a camera.
The TouchPad will likely be very popular among application developers due to the ease in which they can convert software created for iPads. Furthermore, HP will allow freedom when it comes to making money from "apps," said Forrester Research analyst Sarah Rotman Epps during an interview with the AFP news agency.
However, "consumers will consider the TouchPad, and then buy an iPad," she said.
"This product has a chance to beat RIM and any individual Android tablet, but not Apple."
Digital magazine publishers such as Time Inc. and electronic book giant Amazon.com are among TouchPad's launch partners, the AFP reported.
"We are making this a great platform for reading books by partnering with Amazon on Kindle software," Rubinstein said.
WebOS strengths include multi-tasking abilities such as allowing users to pause while reading an e-book to take a video call, conduct an Internet search and print wirelessly to an HP printer.
The Palo Alto, California-based computer giant did not elaborate on whether its personal computers would be running on webOS, which would be a direct challenge to Windows-based machines. Microsoft has been a longtime HP partner.
However, Todd Bradley, executive vice president of HP's personal systems group, said the company is investing "meaningful talent and significant resources" into webOS.
Shares of HP's stock rose 1.66 percent on Wednesday.

September 30, 2012 12:00:00 AM
Fiji's Foreign Minister, Ratu Inoke Kubuabola yesterday pledged to the United Nations General Assembly in New York yesterday to uphold the rights of the nation's workers.
Speaking on behalf of Prime Minister, Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama, in the face of union action in the United States next week that could jeopardise the jobs of 15,000 Fijians, Ratu Inoke launched a strong defence of the Government's labour reforms in a wide-ranging speech.
"We expect the new constitution to help us to continue to build an environment that promotes safe working conditions, protects workers from arbitrary actions and allows workers to form unions."
"As part of Fiji's return to democracy, the Government was reviewing the country's labour laws to ensure that they complied with 34 conventions of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) that Fiji had ratified."
"The tripartite Employment Relations Advisory Board was a key participant in this process. In this year alone, Fiji has ratified or adopted eight ILO instruments, as recommended by the tripartite board, including the Maritime Labour Convention 2006", he said.
"The Bainimarama Government is committed to protecting workers who are fortunate enough to have jobs and to ensuring that all workers receive fair wages. We are equally committed to creating employment opportunities for the young and less affluent."
A Fijian Government delegation is heading for Washington next week to defend an attempt by the Fiji Trades Union Congress to stop Fiji from benefiting from the US Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) Scheme, which, since 1976, has given certain Fijian exporters duty free access to the United States.

February 18, 2009, Washington, DC – The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) issued a statement today in response to the court of appeals reversal of D.C. District Court Judge Ricardo Urbina's October 2008 decision ordering the U.S. government to release 17 wrongly-imprisoned Guantánamo detainees into the United States. The men, Uighurs from China, have been imprisoned without charge for over seven years. The U.S. government has acknowledged it neither has the authority to detain them nor can it release them to China because of a risk of torture. Yet, in the decision today, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals held that the indefinite detention of the men could continue.
"The court has acknowledged that the detention of these men is illegal but has refused to do anything about it. This is indefensible," said Emi MacLean, staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights. "The new administration must act quickly to remedy the failings of the old. If President Obama is committed to closing Guantánamo, he must allow these stranded Uighurs into the United States. We are not in a position to ask for the support of other countries in accepting detainees from Guantánamo if we cannot share the burden ourselves. Freedom for these men is long overdue."
For a copy of the decision or to learn more about CCR's work with the Uighurs, visit the Kiyemba v. Obama case page.
CCR has led the legal battle over Guantanamo for the last six years – sending the first ever habeas attorney to the base and sending the first attorney to meet with a former CIA "ghost detainee" there. CCR has been responsible for organizing and coordinating more than 500 pro bono lawyers across the country in order to represent the men at Guantanamo, ensuring that nearly all have the option of legal representation. In addition, CCR has been working to resettle the approximately 60 men who remain at Guantánamo because they cannot return to their country of origin for fear of persecution and torture.
The Center for Constitutional Rights is dedicated to advancing and protecting the rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Founded in 1966 by attorneys who represented civil rights movements in the South, CCR is a non-profit legal and educational organization committed to the creative use of law as a positive force for social change.

NICOR: National Institute for Cardiovascular Outcomes Research
Congenital Heart Disease Website
Font Size
Welcome to The Congenital Heart Disease Website.
Update: 11/12/2013
The data on this website has been updated with unvalidated data for the 2013-2014 period. 1 year follow up information is not yet available for this period.
Update: 25/09/2014
Analysis of 2010/13 NCHDA data is now available
Today, the NCHDA audit publishes findings from the audit period April 1st 2010 to March 31st 2013. The analysis is based on 22,979 congenital heart disease surgery and interventional procedures submitted by 34 centres, including 14 specialist centres.
Key finding
· Overall survival at 30-days following a heart operation in all specialist children heart units is above the pre-specified limit.
· Survival at 30-days after each of the 57 surgical and transcatheter cardiovascular interventions most frequently undertaken to treat congenital heart disease in children, young people and adults continues to be above the pre-specified limit.
· Leeds General Infirmary (LGI) was below the warning limit for the aggregate analysis of all pediatric surgical procedures.NICOR has validated LGI's 2013/14 data and undertaken preliminary analysis. This shows that in this more recent period, the predicted 30 day survival rates are now within the pre-specified limit. A supplementary report of this additional analysis is available here.
· LGI and Bristol Royal Hospital for Children were below the warning limit (98% control limit; green line) for a single procedure. Both hospitals have been contacted by NICOR and the relevant professional societies in accordance with Department of Health guidance.
Responses from both hospitals are available here.
· In 2012/13, over 40% of infants who required a procedure to treat a congenital heart malformation were diagnosed through antenatal screening, compared to less than a quarter of cases in 2003/4. This shows that antenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease has improved over the past 7 years.
A more detailed account of these findings are provided in the NCHDA 2010-13 report available here.
The full analysis of the specific procedures is available on this portal via the 2010-13 Analysis link.
The centre level aggregate analysis for paediatric cardiac surgical procedures for 2010-13 are available here. A reanalysis of 2009-12 data is available here.
Update: 24/06/2014
There is a new navigation tab "Research and Analysis" that links to a table of research and analysis files.
Update: 15/04/2014
The Health and Social Care Information Centre and Office for National Statistics acknowledge that the statutory process for the registration of death across England and Wales does not in all cases guarantee completeness at any specified date. In the case of a death referred to the coroner, in most cases, it cannot be registered until the coroner's enquiries have been completed and a death certificate issued and provided to the Registrar of Births and Deaths. For research studies looking at cause of death this may mean a delay in the reporting process of these deaths, which could affect some analysis. While every effort is made to discuss this issue with customers at the time of their request both the HSCIC and ONS wish to make this clear to all users of death registration data provided through the two organisations. Please see the ONS website for further details.
Please be aware of the Terms and Conditions with respect to reproducing items from this website.
The National Congenital Heart Disease Audit (NCHDA) is managed by the National Institute for Cardiovascular Outcomes Research (NICOR), is the largest and most comprehensive national audit of its kind in the world and is now in its 14th year. The audit collects data from all centres undertaking congenital cardiac surgery and interventional procedures in the UK.
Among the information provided on the portal are profiles of every congenital heart disease centre in the UK, including the number and range of procedures they carry out and survival rates for the most common types of treatment.
Patients, parents and carers are encouraged to regard the facts and figures in the site as a useful source of information. This knowledge can then be used together with the information they receive from their family doctor and heart specialist in making any decisions on treatment options.
The audit is commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership as part of the National Clinical Audit Programme* and clinically led by the British Congenital Cardiac Association and The Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery in Great Britain and Ireland.

To Honor & Inspire
A rural Nebraska town gets an unexpected visit from the Texas Flying Legends
Ellington Field, in the greater Houston area, is home to the Texas Flying Legends Museum (www.texasflyinglegends.org). With an immaculate collection of flying warbirds, the museum is dedicated to honoring war veterans and inspiring the next generation of pilots. To share this sentiment with as many as possible, each spring the fleet journeys to Minot, N.D. The Dakota Territory Air Museum showcases the collection until it heads to EAA AirVenture, taking center stage on the warbird ramp. Late summer, some of the aircraft will continue to Wiscasset, Maine, to perform at local air shows.
This year, a special stop was planned in Colorado Springs for the USAF Academy graduation. To support the class of 2013, the Texas Flying Legends would do a fly-by during the ceremonies, in place of the Thunderbirds, who were grounded for sequestration. The formation of eight warbirds would cross overhead at the exact moment of the graduates' hat toss.
I met the group on the ramp at KCOS for the leg to Rapid City, S.D. Through the waist gunner's window in Betty's Dream, I could see a crowd had gathered to watch our departure. They snapped photos and waved enthusiastically. This became a theme throughout the trip as it seemed fans and onlookers would materialize everywhere the warbird entourage went—even the most unexpected of places.
Nine mighty engines roared in harmony as we lifted off and headed north. We leveled at 9,500 feet as the late May skies darkened with the threat of stormy weather. The B-25 offers unusual vantage points for air-to-air photography, and in spite of the bumps and foul conditions, the all-star team of talented pilots enabled us to capture the fleet en route. Chief pilot Warren Pietsch positioned the Zero directly below the bomber, flown by Alan Miller, and we shot it through the Plexiglas on the fuselage floor. Later, I wriggled over a huge pile of baggage and gear to twist my body into the tailgunner seat. From the very rear of the bomber, I could shoot directly back as our wingmen took turns flying at our six o'clock position.

HT Enterprises Polar Therm Extreme Tip-Up is an "underwater" tip-up designed with features that put it in a class by itself. Its patented trip mechanism is freeze-proof so you'll never have to worry about below-zero temperatures affecting your success again. Its convenient design allows the entire tip-up to fit in a five gallon pail. The Polar Therm Extreme's design promotes a tangle-free feature with the foam hook holder at the bottom of the spool. The thermal action keeps your ice hole free of ice by trapping the thermal action of the open water. This natural phenomena keeps the ice hole open in sub zero temps!
You can set the "adjustable tension" light for panfish, medium for walleye, and heavy in deep water for lake trout and northerns. The Polar Therm Extreme is ruggedly built out of space age plastic to take punishment while it stays lightweight and warm to the touch. For your convenience, the Polar Therm Extreme has a built-in tackle box for easy set-up at the hole location.
Operation of HT Enterprises Polar Therm Extreme Tip-Up could not be easier. Simply pull the center mechanism into a perpendicular position, set line at your selected depth, place the flag trip wire under the trip bar, and place the tip-up over the hole with the spool under the water.
Features of the HT Enterprises Polar Therm Extreme Tip-Up include:

RCA Airnergy claims to charge gadgets using ambient WiFi signals
By Alan Brandon
January 12, 2010
Move over solar chargers. Step aside kinetic chargers. If RCA is to be believed, there's a new way to scavenge power from the environment using an energy source that's all around us: WiFi. If you are reading this article, the chances are very good that you are in range of at least one wireless network. RCA says its Airnergy Charger scavenges stray WiFi signals and converts them to DC battery power that you can use to charge your cell phone, music player, or other electronic devices. Read More

Reorganization plan sent to President
Thursday - 6/9/2011, 8:10pm EDT
By Jason Miller
Executive Editor
Federal News Radio
The Office of Management and Budget sent recommendations today to President Obama on how to reorganize the agencies that focus on trade, exports and competitiveness.
Moira Mack, an OMB spokeswoman, said the President will review the findings and options, which "will take some time given that any changes to the structure of the federal government will be inherently complex and necessitate careful consideration. When the President concludes his review, we will talk with all stakeholders, including Congress, and make his decision public."
Obama called for the first major reorganization of government since 2003 when Congress created the Homeland Security Department in his 2011 State of the Union address. OMB deputy director for management Jeff Zients and Lisa Brown, a senior policy advisor, led the effort.
"Over the last few months, the team has been hard at work gathering ideas, input, and advice from owners of small and large businesses, federal employees, outside experts, current and former agency heads and members of Congress and their staffs to make government more efficient, streamline key functions and make it work better for the American people and the economy," Mack said in an e-mailed statement. "They've been asking what works and what doesn't and identifying where duplication and fragmentation exist "
Zients wrote in a recent blog that the focus of the reorganization effort is "ensuring that the structure of the federal government is best serving our nation's entrepreneurs who are looking to expand their businesses and create jobs here at home by selling their goods and services overseas."
He said federal employees submitted 5,000 ideas and cast 90,000 votes on those ideas.
"Submissions ranged from innovative ways to inform small businesses of export promoting services to large-scale reforms that would change the mission of some government agencies," Zients wrote. "We also received ideas about how to cut waste and change the way Washington does business in other terrains--and we'll be looking at those as part of our broader efforts to make the government work better for America's families. We could not be more grateful for this input."
Zients added he expects the reorganization effort to be difficult, but it is necessary to improve service to citizens and save money.

SOBI sponsored Classes & Study Groups. SOBI is sponsoring and scheduling some of the classes in the training program. The classes are primarily in conference call format and are taught by various Registered Ortho-Bionomy Instructors. Study groups include Ethics Study Group/Tutorial as well as a variety of other topics. Classes include Ethics/Emotions, Elements of a Successful Practice (Business). For more detail click here Study Group/Class descriptions
This class is designed to encourage students to consider all of the benefits of OB Self Care, to themselves and their clients. There are many aspects of self care to think about. Listed below are some thoughts I have on the value of practicing our own self care and teaching our clients in a session and to use it outside of a session.
Practicing our own OB Self Care
1. Helps us to understand our clients needs
2. Helps us to understand how we can relate to our clients during sessions
3. Helps us to know how to guide our client to a way of taking care of themselves that will best work for them.
Teaching our clients to practice OB Self Care
1. Allows our clients to become involved in their own healing process
2. Helps them to understand what things they might be doing in their own lives that trigger their own dysfunctional patterns 3. Allows them to experience and ongoing sense of well being in their lives
Each student will write and submit before class, a brief paper on what they consider as the benefit of teaching clients and practicing OB Self Care themselves. Students may also send in questions regarding self care ahead of time to prepare for the study group in advance.
Prerequisite: None - There is prework to complete prior to call
2-hour tele-study group discussion.
Once registered, you will receive directions on where, when and how to call into the conference call for the Tele-Study Group. Space is Limited. Register Now for May 11, 2015 study group!

08 October 2013 21:02 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--GDP growth in most of Latin America and the Caribbean was weaker than had been expected earlier because of infrastructure bottlenecks, lower commodity prices and policy tightening, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Tuesday in its world economic outlook.
Overall growth for Latin America and the Caribbean is expected at 2.7%, down from 2.9% in 2012, the IMF said.
In Mexico, GDP growth is projected at 1.2% for 2013, down from 3.6% in 2012, because of lower government spending, a decline in construction and weak demand from the US, the IMF said.
In Brazil, GDP growth is projected at 2.5% for 2013, compared with 0.9% in 2012. Growth was as fast as 7.5% in 2010.
While the recent depreciation of the Brazilian real will increase competitiveness in global markets, higher inflation could hurt internal consumption, according to the IMF.
Growth in Argentina has recovered to 3.5% from 1.9% last year because of a strong harvest, but foreign exchange and other administrative controls continue to constrain activity.
In Chile, Colombia, Peru and Uruguay growth is expected to moderate to more sustainable levels. Growth rates for 2013 are projected at 5.4% for Peru, 4.4% for Chile, 3.7% for Colombia and 3.5% for Uruguay, while Venezuela is expected to grow by 1.0%, the IMF said.

"Read on Arizona" initiative launches to improve literacy
PHOENIX -- The "Move on When Reading" statute takes effect for the 2013-14 school year. It mandates that third- grade students who don't have satisfactory grades on AIMS reading tests may not move on to the fourth grade, as Arizona will begin following Common Core standards.
For that reason, Helios Education Foundation is launching a new statewide initiative called "Read on Arizona." The initiative has also named the state's first literacy director, Terri Clark, to help address the problem.
"There's a lot of work that needs to be done," said Ian Smith with the foundation. "The numbers tell us that it's not as bright as we would like it to be. We believe through this initiative and collaborative effort we can get there."
The foundation will work with the Arizona Department of Education, First Things First, Head Start State Collaboration Office and other partners to support implementation of Read On Arizona.
It's estimated that only a quarter of fourth-graders are proficient at grade-level reading.
