Hello everyone, and thank you for your comments on my blog about vaccines. I wish to share with you clarifications on several points. I will be writing about autism in a future blog, as it is such an important topic and deserves my main focus.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Rise Above Health Blog) - In my 35 years as a RN, I
have personally never seen a child who has had an issue with childhood
vaccines other than redness at injection site or mild fever. In fact, while I was nursing in northern
Canada, I witnessed first hand the incredible power of "community immunity". In many of these remote northern areas,
illness often meant death. There is limited access to medical care, and the
dedicated incredible nurses that work in these areas, are caring for the
individuals, the families and the entire community. Vaccination has saved many lives, and families. Child receiving Oral Immunization.
I have a daughter-in-law who is a nurse practitioner in a large pediatric clinic. She told me she has also never seen a child with a severe reaction to vaccinations.
Vaccinations are not injected directly into the blood stream. They are given by several methods, intramuscular (IM) injection, subcutaneous (SC) injection, intradermal (ID) administration, intra nasal spray (IN) and orally (PO).
Informed consent is a law in the United States. This requires the complete disclosure of facts needed to make decision intelligently. For informed consent to take place, the information that is given must be understood. Since the doctor won't know what you don't understand unless you ask about it. The patient, parent or legal guardian must have the chance to consider the information and ask questions. There are times that informed consent can be waived, but vaccination is not one of them.
Thimerasol, is an organomercury compound and is bacteriostatic. It is used in some multi dose vials of vaccine, Single dose units are made without thimerosal, because they are meant to be opened and used once. For example, thimerasol protects against staphylococcus infection that, in one 1928 incident, killed 12 of 21 children inoculated with a diptheria vaccine that lacked a preservative.
U.S. health agencies (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)) have reviewed the published research on thimerosal and found it to be a safe. Three independent organizations [The National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine, Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)] reviewed the published research and also found thimerosal to be a safe.
It is a fact that the MMR vaccines are made on fetal cells obtained in the 1960's. This fact has never been hidden from the public. While those cell lines originated in aborted fetal tissue decades ago, there is no aborted fetal tissue itself in the vaccine. What it contains is attenuated virus cells.
Before the widespread use of a vaccine against measles, its incidence was so high that infection with measles was felt to be inevitable. Today, because of vaccinations, the incidence of measles has fallen dramatically to less than 1% of people under the age of 30 in the United States.
One year after the introduction of the vaccine in 1963, the number of cases fell from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands. While there were sporadic outbreaks of measles in 1971, 1977, and in the early 1980's the number of cases reported each year since 1997 has been less than 200 per year. [8,9,10]
The benefit of the measles vaccination in preventing illness, disability and death is well documented. An estimated 52 million cases of measles was prevented in the first 20 years of the vaccine.
During 1999-2004, a strategy led by the World Health Organization and UNICEF led to improvements in measles vaccination coverage that averted an estimated 1.4 million measles deaths worldwide.[12]
Measles is endemic worldwide. Although it was declared eliminated from the U.S. in 2000, high rates of vaccination and good communication with persons who refuse vaccination is needed to prevent outbreaks. Of the 66 cases of measles reported in the U.S. in 2005, slightly over half were attributable to one unvaccinated individual who acquired measles during a visit to Romania. [14] This individual returned home, and to a community with many unvaccinated children. The resulting outbreak infected 34 people, mostly children and virtually all unvaccinated; 9% were hospitalized. A major epidemic was averted due to high rates of vaccination in the surrounding communities. [13]
Mumps is another viral disease of childhood that was once very common. If a male who is past puberty acquires mumps, a possible complication is bilateral orchitis which can in some cases lead to sterility.
Rubella or German measles fell sharply when immunization was introduced. The major risk of rubella is in pregnancy. If a pregnant woman is infected, her baby may contract congenital rubella, which can cause significant congenital defects.
All three of these diseases are highly contagious.
The MMR vaccine was introduced in order to vaccinate less painfully, more efficiently that three separate injections.
In 2012, the Cochrane Library published a review of scientific studies. Its authors concluded, "Existing evidence on the safety and effectiveness of MMR vaccine supports current policies of mass immunization aimed at global measles eradication and in order to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with measles, mumps and rubella."
Now on to the moral issue of giving this vaccination to our children. We as parents have a moral obligation to protect them and our communities. We also have to make our choices with our moral conscience. I am bringing information and data to help you make an informed decision.
I implore each and every one of you to carefully read, from introduction to conclusion, the June 2005 document from the Vatican 'Moral Reflections on Vaccines Prepared from Cells Derived from Aborted Human Foetuses'. [1]
I have enclosed a link to this article in my references (footnotes). [1]
I personally want all children to be safe and healthy. It is up to us, as parents to safeguard them and our communities. Please make an informed choice regardless of the side of the vaccination fence you live on. Know all the facts on both sides of this huge debate, then decide. Deciding with knowledge, not emotion is imperative.
Once again, this is just one nurses evidence based view.

ClassicsOnline Home » RACHMANINOV, S.: Symphony No. 2 (Park Avenue Chamber Symphony, Bernard)
Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943)
Symphony No. 2, in E minor, Op. 27.
Composed: 1906–7. Première: Moscow 1907.
I. Largo, Allegro moderato,
II. Allegro molto,
III. Adagio,
IV. Allegro vivace.
Russia has long appeared enigmatic in many respects to westerners. For Americans, the great windows on Russian culture have been literary—Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Chekhov—and musical—Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Shostakovich (Kurt Weill's song "Tchaikovsky and Other Russians" immortalized by Danny Kaye, lists scores of Russian composers). And it is the Russian Symphony, like the Russian novel, that has become a possession of world culture while still being emblematic of Russian culture. Taking the iconic Russian symphonies chronologically, Rachmaninoff's second occupies an intermediate place between the earlier symphonies of Tchaikovsky and the later symphonies of Shostakovich and Prokofiev. So while one can grab almost any music history book off the shelf and read that "Rachmaninoff was the last" of the Romantic composers, pianists or conductors, he was not the last of the Russian symphonists, and later Russian symphonies would not pack the same punch without Rachmaninoff's symphonies not only to sustain, but to epitomize the tradition.
The success of the Second Symphony as Russian symphonic music par excellence cannot be doubted; expect a visceral sense of recognition from the openings of the second and third movements. Yet the symphony was not composed on Russian soil. Rachmaninoff spent two and half years, from 1906 to 1908 in Dresden with his family, and dedicated himself to composition. There he completed the Second Symphony, First Piano Sonata and symphonic poem, Isle of the Dead. He also heard recent German works such as the opera Salome by Richard Strauss and performances by leading conductors and musicians. The sojourn in Dresden did not seem to dampen Rachmaninoff's performing career. An American tour for which he would compose his Piano Concerto No. 3 in D Minor was in the planning stages. Nor did it detract from his growing success as a composer: the second symphony received the Glinka Award—1000 rubles—which he won for a third time.
Two works have tended to cast a shadow over the second symphony in different ways. One is the first symphony composed in 1897. Rachmaninoff listened to the première while standing on the fire escape, he would not enter the hall: "the audience reaction was hostile; it was the most agonizing hour of my life!" While all agreed the performance was subpar, in 1933 Rachmaninoff did acknowledge that: "its deficiencies were revealed…with a dreadful distinctness even during the first rehearsal." In 1902, the popular success of the Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor would prove to be the great antidote. After the catastrophe of the first symphony, the second symphony appears to be an anomaly: a great symphony by a composer who was not a natural symphonist. The other work is the third piano concerto, which often appeared on the same program as the second symphony, and garnered all the attention. One critic wrote: "The new concerto mirrored the best sides of his creative power." The second symphony did as well!
While consciously adhering to the conventions of symphonic procedure—four movements with a slow introduction to the first sonata allegro movement, then a Scherzo, Adagio and Finale that summarizes all the movements—the aesthetic is not symphonically abstract, but evocative and vocal in conception. Many orchestral solos are featured in this symphony, each providing its unique coloration and mood. Notable precursors exist in which symphonic pieces express a national character or mood, but few do so with such exuberance, exultation and authenticity as Rachmaninoff.
Rachmaninoff was a musician both in and out of sync with his times. As a multi-dimensional artist who was a conductor of symphony and opera at the Bolshoi, a piano soloist, a composer, a concert artist who toured, collaborated, recorded and broadcast, he was very much a figure of his times. But artistically, in an essay published shortly after his death of melanoma in Los Angeles he wrote:
I feel like a ghost wandering in a world grown alien. I cannot cast out the old way of writing and I cannot acquire the new. I have made intense efforts to feel the musical manner of today, but it will not come to me. I cannot cast out my musical gods in a moment and bend the knee to new ones.
Rachmaninoff and Stravinsky as composers were indeed worlds apart aesthetically, but the source and lineage in Russian tradition is the same tree with many branches.
Instrumentation: three flutes (one doubling on piccolo), three oboes (one doubling on English horn), two clarinets, one bass clarinet, two bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, one tuba, timpani, cymbals, bass drum, snare drum, glockenspiel and strings.

By James Slater: First things first: its good news that talented, undefeated hard working 140-pound champion Timothy Bradley has ironed out his legal issues, is now signed with Top Rank and is set to make his ring return on November 12th. The 28-year-old with the 27-0(11) pro record will face former super-featherweight and lightweight ruler Joel Casmayor on the under-card of the huge Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez III card in Las Vegas.
Bradley, who will defend his WBO 140-pound belt, is excited to be back and the Palm Springs man says he is looking to land himself some bigger fights at 140, before a move up to welterweight and a hoped for shot at Pac-Man.
Now, how will the fans react to Bradley against Casamayor? The Cuban southpaw is 40-years-old and he has lost two of his last four fights. El Cepillos best days certainly came down at 130 and 135-pounds, and we have no idea how much he has to offer today, up at 140. Still, as a comeback fight for Bradley (who last fought in January of this year), is Casmayor such a bad opponent? Still quick, still ambitious and having all the experience in the word as he has, the Cuban might just be able to test Bradley in the 12-rounder.
It would be a reasonably big statement by Bradley if he were to halt Casamayor; who has been stopped just once in his long, 38-5-1(22) career. Bradley will then move on to bigger, more meaningful fights (he told Ringtv.com that 140-pound names such Marcos Maidana and Erik Morales interest him).
The critics have come out and attacked Bradleys fight with the ageing, faded Casamayor, though. One such critic is WBA/IBF light-welterweight boss Amir Khan. As fans know, Khan has accused Bradley of avoiding him, due to a talked of fight between the two failing to come to fruition recently (when Bradley, by his own admission, fell under the radar due to his legal issues).
Now, via his Twitter page, Khan has torn into Bradleys decision to face Casamayor.
Wow, Tim Bradley Vs Joel Casamayor?? The guy is 40-years-old and ranked 30th. Im sorry but he aint no Bernard Hopkins, I dont know how Bradley gets away with fights like this, maybe because nobody cares about him lol. I guess the chicken crossed the road to fight Casamayor.
A stinging attack by Khan, no doubt. But is Khan being too harsh on Bradley? Bradley has fought stiff competition his whole career, and this fight, taken after the longest layoff of his pro career, is one exception to the rule. And even if Casamayor is no Bernard Hopkins, he isnt a shot, ruined fighter either. Yes, wed all prefer to see Bradley fight Khan, but Bradley is at least aiming as high as a fight with Pacquiao.
On a ratings scale, Bradley-Casamayor probably deserves a C, but coming after consecutive fights with Junior Witter, Edner Cherry, Kendall Holt, Nate Campbell, Lamont Peterson (who Khan faces next), Luis Abregu and Devon Alexander - and with Bradley coming back after a long layoff - isnt Bradleys upcoming fight deserving of a break by the fans and the critics?

If a person from Brooklyn whose family has not been in Palestine in nineteen hundred years has the right to return, why doesn't a person who was born there?

Israel cannot afford to boycott its supporters at the state it is in, Opposition Leader Tzipi Livni said on Thursday following a meeting with a U.S. congressional delegation which was boycotted by Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon.
Tension between the Foreign Ministry and left-leaning Jewish advocacy group J Street, who was behind the congressional visit, was believed to be behind the diplomatic rift between Israel and the U.S. Congress.
"We are all concerned about Israel's future and want what is good for it. Even if there are difference of opinion, and there are, that is not the way to treat Israel's friends who want what is good for it," Livni told reporters after the meeting with the five visiting U.S. congressman.
The opposition leader and Kadima chairperson added that "when there are so many who threaten us, we can not afford to lose those who consider themselves Israel's friends, and even when there is criticism, it is our job as leaders to persuade others we are right instead of giving up the right to do so."
On the subject of Iran, Livni said that Israel "must bolster the U.S. administration's efforts to impose harsher sanctions on Iran."
"The Iranians are playing with the world and trying to earn time, and therefore it is time for severe and harsh sanctions against any attempt by them to further their nuclear program," the opposition leader said, adding that "Iran is not an Israeli problem but the problem of the whole free world.?
On Wednesday, Rep. William Delahunt (D-Massachusetts), who heads the delegation, said at a news conference that it "was with real surprise and disappointment that we read a headline in this morning's newspaper saying 'Foreign Ministry boycotts members of Congress."
J Street director Jeremy Ben-Ami said at the news conference that he was confused by Ayalon's calling the lobby anti-Israel. "Our relations with Israel's embassy in Washington are on the mend...I hope this is no more than his personal opinion," he said.
A senior Jerusalem source said the man who advised Ayalon and President Shimon Peres not to meet the delegation was Baruch Binah, deputy director general for North America in the ministry. Binah advised against the meeting because the delegation includes J Street members and a representative of Churches for Middle East Peace, which the Foreign Ministry sees as anti-Israeli.
"We were puzzled that the deputy foreign minister has apparently attempted to block our meetings with senior officials in the Prime Minister's Office and Foreign Ministry - questioning either our own support of Israel or that we would even consider traveling to the region with groups that the deputy foreign minister has so inaccurately described as 'anti-Israel,'" Delahunt continued.

FWIW, my take on this subject is that no matter what you own: motorcycles, cars, vintage tractors, baseball cards etc., it would be ideal to have everything clearly laid out and decided upon in one's will well in advance, so there's absolutely no question on who gets what. We've all seen, and likey experienced, families being torn apart by arguments over who gets one thing or another. It's not pretty and more often then not, turns downright ugly.
The phenomenom isn't limited to bikes but spans to cars. Seems a lot of younger people in developed nations are loosing their love for owning a car. It isn't the status symbol it once was. many are not gettting their license until they are much older. Now in nations that are just coming into their own the demand is growing as is the interest.
TwinDuro called it though - have a good solid plan and have it written and notorized. May also consider letting some of them go to their new homes before you ride off into the sunset. Likely give you great joy to see them enjoyed anew and would settle any issue of ownership after your passing.

Whitney Houston remembered on Grammys red carpet
LOS ANGELES One of the last people to share a stage with Whitney Houston was R&B singer Kelly Price, who stopped on the Grammy Awards show's red carpet Sunday night to reminisce.
While others have said the singer appeared disheveled when she showed up Thursday to rehearse for music mogul Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party, Price said that wasn't the case when she saw her later that night at a party where the two sang together.
"She stood on her feet for over three hours, she cheered on every singer that hit the stage," said Price, who sang a duet with Houston on "Yes, Jesus Loves Me."
Houston died Saturday.
When she wasn't singing, Price said, Houston was dancing, either by herself or with others, including her 18-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown.
"We had a wonderful time," Price said. "She celebrated me. She told me she was proud of me, she told me she loved me,"
The pair's friendship dates to 1998 when Houston heard Price on the radio and invited her to sing with her on "Heartbreak Hotel."
Tony Bennett, who kicked his own cocaine habit 30 years ago, made a pitch for the legalization of all drugs as he reflected on the death of Whitney Houston, whose drug problems have been well documented.
"In Amsterdam they legalized drugs and it calmed everybody down," Bennett said Sunday on the Grammy Awards red carpet.
"It stopped a lot of gangsters who sneak around and get people to take drugs. Everybody gets wounded that way. By legalizing it, you won't have that problem."
The 85-year-old crooner acknowledged his call for legalization is controversial. But he said he stands by it.
"It's called the elimination of ignorance," he said. "If you do something that makes things better, why not do it immediately, whatever it is."
One of the Grammy show's most poignant moments was one that TV viewers didn't see.
When Tony Bennett received the Grammy for best pop performance by a duo or group for his duet with Amy Winehouse, he invited the late singer's parents to join him on stage during the awards ceremony's pre-show segment.
"We shouldn't be here. Our darling daughter should be here," Winehouse's father, Mitch, said after he and the singer's mother, Janis, had embraced Bennett.
His daughter was thrilled, Winehouse said, to have recorded the Grammy-winning song "Body and Soul" with Bennett shortly before she died last year of accidental alcohol poisoning.
Mitch Winehouse also noted Whitney Houston's death Saturday and the recent passing of Etta James.
"What can I say? There's a beautiful girl band up in heaven," he said.
They've had their share of bad vibrations over the years, but only goodwill abounded when the Beach Boys put aside years of feuding and got back together for the Grammy Awards show.
"It was kind of a different experience," head Beach Boy Brian Wilson said backstage after he and his old bandmates performed "Good Vibrations."
"The guys are brilliantly performing their vocals," Wilson added. "I'm very proud of the guys."

If he could fight like hell for those two dirt bags, he obviously has no such restrictions about whom he takes on, right? WRONG! I asked Ron the question. Who do you turn down? And he said he will not represent anyone who has committed a crime based on racial or ethnic motivations.
Jeralyn Merritt of Denver was one of the trial attorneys representing Oklahoma City bomber, Timothy McVeigh. She fought hard to save his life during and after the trial. McVeigh, having never showed an iota of remorse, was found responsible for the deaths of all those unfortunate souls in the Federal Building in Oklahoma City including 28 small children in the daycare facility, which he knew was in operation when he blew the building up. Jeralyn worked closely with McVeigh and worked tireless for him. But she won't represent someone who is accused of abusing the elderly.
We all have our lines in the sand. They don't necessarily make a lot of sense to the rest of the world, but they seem to work for us.
Bob Bello of Connecticut is one of the best criminal defense lawyers I know. He has represented many people for murder, robbery, rape, etc. He also is the first one to step up to the plate when a friend or coworker in the system needs help. Without asking for a fee, a thank you or any recognition at all, Bob has been there to take care of the court reporter, bailiff, clerk or lawyer when they wound up as a defendant. What cases will he not take? He will not represent parents who sexually molest their children. He will represent strangers who sexually molest children, but not parents.
Gerald Shargel is high up on the short list of New York City criminal Lawyers who are the absolute "go-to" guys if you are in deep doodoo. He won an acquittal for John Gotti who had been accused of ordering the murder of a union labor official. He has represented mob guys, white collar people as well as the street guys. His response to my question:
"I don't exclude any category of offense. Depends on the client and the factual basis for the chare. For example, I just represented a female school principal who was charged with rape of 13 year old boys. Would I have represented a 40 year old many who raped an eight year old girl? Probably, not unless I was convinced of innocence (that holds true throughout). So, its not he crime, it's the facts."
David Chesnoff of Las Vegas represented a defendant in the largest controlled substance seizure in American History. He is nationally regarded as a brilliant trial lawyer who has taken on impossible cases and clients. As of this writing, he is representing Las Vegas headliner David Copperfield. His response:

These wild, whopper wenches take full advantage of their sense of humor and extraordinary girlish girth as they engulf food and men with equal non-anorexic ease. A few of them (especially Eartha Quake) have the potential to nearly cause their lovers to vanish in their folds of flesh. In fact, when Mora Cummings and Lydia Splits do a dude, he is sometimes hard to find. Six foot subs and food jokes abound. I hope these guys received "hazard pay."

Overall Experience
A Pleasant Surprise
May 24, 2015
Since almost every other place we called was full, we were skeptical when this hotel had vacancies. Guess we were lucky. It is clean, the rooms are spacious and the kitchen would have been useful had we needed it. The prices on the food in the Cupboard were very reasonable- about the same as Target and there was a good variety of food and beverage. It was a very pleasant surprise. Wish more hotels had such a "cupboard"
For a brief stay the room was fine. If I were really staying for an extended period, the room would have been too confining. For our purposes it was fine.
Good place to stop
May 18, 2015
Had a great knowledgeable staff on hand, and the rooms were in great condition. No complaints except the lack of blinds to make the room dark.
Second Best, NO WAY
May 11, 2015
I thought I wanted a place with a more well-known name, and I settled on the Candlewood Clarksville. It should have been my FIRST choice. Room, Staff, Comfort, Convenience, and especially the VALUE were absolutely FIRST RATE. This gem is like a gift from above! Thank you Candlewood Louisville North.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
The Gwinnett Republican Party will have a new leader after this weekend's convention.Delegates will choose between Steve Ramey and Chuck Efstration during a 10 a.m. session at Collins Hill High School. Efstration, a 25-year-old assistant district attorney, was the leader of the Georgia Association of College Republicans and has served on the local party's executive board for the past year. He was a paid staffer on Gov. Sonny Perdue's 2002 campaign and worked on Sen. Brian Kemp's 2004 race. He grew up in Lilburn and now lives in Dacula. "I am running for chairman of the Gwinnett GOP because I want to see a renewed focus on grassroots organization within the party," he wrote in an e-mail. "If elected, I will bring energy and political experience to a party that must improve membership outreach, increase fundraising, and begin to have a presence at more community events." Ramey, a Buford native who now lives in Lilburn, is a local businessman, a war veteran and former world bench-press champion who held state, national and world records. He won the party's "Goldwater Award for 2008." This weekend, Gwinnett's Democrats will hear from Gen. David Poythress, who is running for governor in 2010. The breakfast is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. at the Georgia Diner on Pleasant Hill Road. Party leaders ask that attendees bring canned food to donate to the Salvation Army. Unterman praises budget work Sen. Renee Unterman had words of praise for legislators, who passed a balanced state budget this week, during tough economic times. The budget included $2 billion in cuts. "We accomplished this (budget) without raising taxes. We prioritized the needs of Georgians and cut wasteful spending," she said in a statement. "While Washington D.C. saddles us with over $1 trillion dollars in debt, the Assembly worked together and passed this budget without a single 'pork barrel' project." The Buford senator pointed out that the budget protects the $428 million Homeowners' Tax Relief Grant, cuts state legislative office budgets by 8 percent, restores mental health funds, addresses consumer protection by providing for four new food safety inspectors, and achieves $10.5 million in savings from lower interest rates after selling state bonds. She lauded the fact that Georgia has maintained the state's triple-A bond rating, which helps the state's economy because it keeps interest rates low.

Reviewed by Emmanuel Lund / Aug 28, 2012
Taumi - Disc Challenge is an arcade game which gameplay is similar to Air Hockey
It's true, gameplay is similar, however scenery is completely different. That's it, there aren't either air hockey "pucks" or "sticks". In Taumi, the players are two robots and the "puck" is a frisbee or disc. Arenas are also different, there are up to 4 arenas to choose among. All of them with specific handicaps like vortex, magnetic fields or bouncy walls.
There are two game modes, Player vs CPU or Player vs Player (Hot-seat, single device). The latter is specially fun. Before starting the game the player cna set the rules: choose arena, set time, set points to win and the side (only vs CPU).
The game is set in cute 3D graphics, overhead view. Controls make the game even more interesting: there isn't a screenpad, the guy is controlled by tapping the screen. Hold, drag and release for aiming and shooting. Double tap for shooting with special effects. Tap and double tap for making the robot slide through the disc.
In a few words, cute graphics and highly playable. Great game.Developer's original description available here
It's a flying disc game which is a fun blend of Air Hockey and Ping Pong games.

Hi-Tech Heart Surgeons Spare Jack, 17, From Another Ordeal
TEENAGER Jack Burd was only five months old when he underwent his first heart operation and has since endured open heart surgery a remarkable three times.
But now he has become the first patient in Yorkshire to have a new heart valve fitted using a state-of-the-art procedure which threads the valve into his leg and then through an artery to his heart.
The technique is highly complex but offers significant benefits to patients who would otherwise face the risks of major surgery and the long recovery afterwards.
Specialists believe it offers significant advantages for patients amid speculation it could one day overtake open heart surgery, which was first carried out in the 1950s.
Jack, now 17, from Barnsley, was born with a heart defect diagnosed when he was a baby.
He had his first operation aged five months at the former Killingbeck Hospital in Leeds and open heart surgery followed when he was three, seven and 14. He has also had two pacemakers fitted.
Doctors monitoring him at Leeds General Infirmary told him his heart valve was becoming worn out and he needed a new one to regulate the flow of blood from the heart to the lungs.
This would normally be stitched in by surgeons after opening up his chest but instead he was offered a chance to undergo the new operation, which was pioneered worldwide on the NHS by top doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London in 2000. It has been refined in the years since, although it has been performed at only a handful of specialist centres in the UK.
His mother Victoria said previously surgery took all day. Jack needed initial treatment in intensive care and was in hospital for more than a week, with weeks more to recover and time away from his studies.
But using the new keyhole technique he had returned home the following day.
John Thomson, consultant in congenital cardiology at the Infirmary, who carried out the procedure, said the valve was threaded from Jack's thigh through an artery to his heart.
Using a monitor, he was able to manoeuvre it into position in an operation lasting two-and-a-half hours, which he described as "pretty tricky".
Without surgery, patients became progressively more tired and lacking in energy as their heart failed to function properly.
"It's a big advance for some people and he is the first to have it done in Yorkshire," he said.
"The difference is 10 days in hospital with a lot of pain versus something which can be done as keyhole surgery and which allows the patient to be home the next day."
Jack, who is studying business at college, said: "I was just happy to have it done.
"I didn't want to go through another open heart operation with all the risks.
"After this one I've been able to do a lot more than I could before and be more active with my friends and just feel much better than I did.
"All the nurses were very kind and the doctors have been very good.
"I'm kind of used to operations and wasn't too nervous – it wasn't as bad as when I went in for open heart surgery."
His mother added: "We thought the next stage was going to be open heart surgery but when they put this to us it sounded a lot better.
"He has been through a lot really but he's happy-go-lucky; he's not really complained and just gets on with it, although it hasn't got any easier for him."
Dr Thomson said a similar procedure was being developed for elderly patients with aortic heart valve failure.
He added: "This technology is going to explode over the next few years or so – it's going to get bigger and bigger."

Now the install goes fine and says its successfully installed. But it's not success. No service is running and it doesn't want any restart.

Style-conscious country on pace to overtake Japan as second-largest market
Another business opportunity lies in the Brazilian infatuation with smelling good. Although Brazil represents less than 3 percent of the world's population, it makes up 12 percent of deodorant consumption, with the highest use in the world. Brazilians also spend more money on perfume than any other nation.
"Other countries have more people or more resources, but don't have the habits we have," said Joao Carlos Basilio, president of the Brazilian Association of Personal Care, Perfume and Cosmetics Industry. "For us, having any kind of body odor is frightful, a lack of civility. For someone introducing a product here, it's essential to remember that."
Brazil has seen at least one of its own beauty brands take off as well: Natura has become a national beauty phenomenon with its tropical scents and flavors. Its reported profits in Brazil grew by 10 percent in 2012 to reach $2.8 billion. And now it's expanding abroad, where it already had $367 million in revenue last year.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is delighted for former goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler over his call-up to the Germany squad.
Zieler, who spent almost five years at Old Trafford before signing for Bundesliga side Hannover 96 in July 2010, played 90 minutes for the national team in an entertaining 3-3 draw in Ukraine.
"Did he really?" Sir Alex asked. "That's fantastic. I must send him a message.
"He got an injury here in the Reserves and was out for about eight months," the Reds manager told manutd.com. "Unfortunately, when he came back, Ben Amos had jumped ahead of him in the pecking order. I'm really pleased to hear this news, though. I'm glad he's doing well.
"We helped Ron-Robert orchestrate his move to Hannover. We had a scout over there at the time and I gave him a call. He then came across, spoke to Ron and got the Hannover coach across to Manchester to watch him train.
"They were happy to take him and we were delighted to organise that move for him. He's since come on leaps and bounds and is obviously doing fantastically. He always worked hard and he's a very nice lad."

Light Armor
Light Armors are one of the three armor types in ESO along with Medium and Heavy Armor. Light Armor is preferred by magic using characters due to its benefits to Magicka regenration and light weight therefore increasing manuverability. The Light Armor skill tree has passive abilities that increase spellcasting such as ones that decreases the cost of spells or magicka regeneration while wearing Light Armor.

Last month a NJ Appellate Division panel held in three consolidated appeals that a NJ hospital's state law claims that a health care plan must pay full price for medical services the hospital provided to plan participants are preempted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"). St. Peter's University Hospital v. New Jersey Building Laborers Statewide Welfare Fund et al.; St. Peter's University Hospital v. Local 594 — Building Laborers Welfare Fund et al.; and St. Peter's University Hospital v. Local 94 Health and Welfare Fund.
St. Peter's Hospital agreed to provide medical services at reduced rates to a PPO's members, one of which was the N.J. Building Laborers Statewide Welfare Fund ("Fund"), provided that the Hospital's bill was paid within 30 days, but otherwise the Hospital would charge its customary rates. The Fund is an ERISA employee welfare benefit plan, was a defendant in the consolidated cases, and entered into subscriber agreements with the PPO that included similar rate-reduction terms.
When the Fund failed to pay the Hospital's reduced rate within 30 days, the Hospital sued the Fund for breach of contract and unjust enrichment in state court, to recover the difference between the discounted rates and the customary rates. The trial court granted summary judgment against the Hospital holding that the claims were preempted by ERISA Section 514(a) which preempts "any and all State laws insofar as they may now or hereafter relate to any employee benefit plan . . ."
The Appellate Division affirmed and determined that the Hospital's state law claims were preempted. The Court reasoned that the Hospital's claims would not have existed but for the presence of an ERISA plan that provided coverage to the members and the Court was "required to examine and consult the terms of the ERISA plan to determine whether the Fund was liable under either state law cause of action."

ROSWELL, Ga.—May 9, 2012—Palmer Dodge Chrysler Jeep RAM patrons will have the opportunity to meet History Channel's Top Shot talent, Dylan Fletcher on Saturday, May 19th from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sharp Shooters will be offering discounted gift cards and food will be provided by Dreamland BBQ. The event will take place at the Palmer Dodge dealership located at 11460 Alpharetta Hwy Roswell, GA.

As a skilled knife thrower and pistol and rifle shooter, his talents were displayed throughout his ten-week run on season four of History Channel's Top Shot series.
Guests attending the event will have the opportunity to meet Fletcher and test drive vehicles to receive a discount on gift cards to Roswell's Sharp Shooters shooting range. Dreamland BBQ will cater the event.

I teach a Sunday-school class at our church, and we are currently studying the book of Proverbs.

When Dan and Bernadette Bashinski left Cynthiana to go back to Wisconsin, no one could have even imagined the course that this would put their young daughter Sarah on in order to fulfill her destiny.
Oldest brother Brian, who is 10 years Sarah's senior, was a cross country and track athlete for the Thorobreds and Sarah watched his races and greatly admired her brother's skill and determination.
Brian went on to Marquette University, but didn't compete for the Warriors due to classroom requirements, but still ran for enjoyment.
Breds swarm Bluejackets 15-0 Thursday in Carlisle
The Harrison County Thorobreds lit up three Nicholas County pitchers for 16 hits and 15 runs Thursday en route to a 15-0 district win in Carlisle.
Coach Mac Whitaker used five pitchers to try to keep everyone as sharp as he can during this rainy part of the schedule. The Breds were to play three games in Elizabethtown over the weekend and again Monday night at home versus Bracken County. Unfortunately, all of these games were cancelled or postponed due to the weather.
The Harrison County Thorobreds improved to 7-5 on the season with a 13-9 win over the Pendleton County Wildcats Tuesday night in Falmouth.
While winning the game, the Thorobreds put on an awesome power display hitting seven home runs and three doubles in their 17-hit total.
The power display started in the first as the Breds had back-to-back-to-back home runs with Hunter Hill, Shane Fowler and John King leaving the park.
The wins are hard to get so far this season, but Fillies coach Christine Garnett likes her team's moxey.
"We get down but keep fighting back, but success has been hard to come by this year," she noted after Tuesday's game. "Maybe this inning will set the stage for the rest of the season."
The inning she was referring to was the 10-run sixth in the 14-4 win over Campbell County.
Montgomery County and George Rogers Clark are two of the favorites in the region this year, and almost every year, which made it difficult for Harrison County to face them on successive days.
The Harrison County netters traveled to Mt. Sterling and were soundly defeated on Wednesday as both the girls' team and the boys' lost by 0-5 scores.
Like many of you, I have been reading about what the University of Kentucky wants to do about either building a new basketball arena, renovating Rupp Arena or letting well enough alone.
Rupp Arena is among the best venues for college basketball in the country as it is today. Some are speculating that the new arena is wanted, due in large part to jealousy over the University of Louisville and the Yum Center. Only the individual knows why they are for or against something, but it is a fine arena (the Yum Center) and many UK fans don't like Louisville.
The Bryan Station Defenders ran away with the boys' portion of the Harrison County All Comers Track Meet Thursday and edged the Harrison County Fillies by 10 points in the girls' competition to sweep the event.
The Fillies took first place in seven events and second in six others as they tallied 144 points to 154 for the Lexington squad.
Bracken County and Paris tied for third 76 points behind the Fillies. Then came Nicholas County, Montgomery County, Pendleton County and Holmes to round out the scoring.
After one successful season at Harrison County High School, Fillies basketball coach Piper Akin has accepted the head job at region rival Mason County beginning next season.
The Fillies sported a 17-14 record in Akin's one year at the helm, winning the district championship over rival Pendleton County. Harrison County lost to eventual region champ Montgomery County in the regional.

A while back, Pagani proudly trumpeted that its Zonda R whizzed around the Nurburgring in 6m47s.
An astonishing feat, you will agree, and no doubt a time likely to stoke the ire of Ferrari, which just happens to make something called a 599XX.
See more pics of the Zonda R at the 'Ring
You will hear lots of 'lap records' and 'smashing times' and such, but as there is no official Nurburgring Overseer keeping records, times - essentially - mean nothing.
And Pagani - in a most Spartan-like fashion - hasn't mentioned anything about beating Ferrari. Or setting records.
Want to see how they did it? Well, here is six minutes of steel testes action as a Pagani driver nails the £1.3 million, 739bhp Zonda R around the world's most infamous automotive battleground.

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|Arrangers: Lombardo; Gus Levene.
|Here it is, one of the best Christmas albums ever compiled onto a single disc. Of the 30-plus compilations of the same generic title released over the decades, Christmas Classics is one of the very few that actually warrants its billing, challenging Rhino's well-rounded 1990 comp and Capitol's perennial Bing Crosby collection for the distinction of being the outright best "Christmas Classics" disc ever put on the market as of its 2004 release. And yes, this one just may indeed be the best, a 16-track scouring of the Capitol catalog of the '40s, '50s, and '60s. As such, it's comprised of the style of traditional pop championed by the label during those golden years. There's a masterfully sequenced mix of vocal pop (Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, the Nat King Cole Trio), vocal jazz (June Christy, Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald), and instrumental jazz-pop (Les Brown & His Band of Renown, Ferrante & Teicher, Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians). Every song here is a highlight, whether it's the timelessness of Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song," the sheer beauty of Nancy Wilson's "The Christmas Waltz," or the torchy longing of Julie Christie's "I'd Like You for Christmas." If these songs don't put you in the holiday mood, nothing will! And even if traditional pop isn't your bag, this music still has a certain antiquated appeal today in the 21st century that seems totally appropriate for such a traditional time as the holidays, when antiquity is most alluring. In addition to compiling a darn near perfect Christmas collection of Capitol's finest holiday recordings, the label furthermore took the time to design appealing packaging for the disc, making it all the more first-rate as far as this sort of collection goes. ~ Jason Birchmeier

Producer, Texas at odds on 'Waco' film
A producer says he'll still make a film about the 1993 Branch Davidian firefight even though Texas officials denied his request for help with production costs.
The Texas Film Commission rejected producer Emilio Ferrari's application for a state rebate for in-state production costs because, as commission Director Bob Hudgins said, the project doesn't "accurately portray Texans, the Houston Chronicle reported Sunday.
Ferrari's movie,
Waco, is positioned as the first feature film based on the 51-day siege at David Koresh's religious cult compound, which resulted in the death of four U.S. agents and more than 80 of Koresh's followers.
Ferrari — whose credits include
Baby on Board and
I Know What You Did Last Winter — said the incident at Waco was the biggest tragedy in the United States
after 9-11, the newspaper reported.
It's been completely swept under the rug, he said.
I think people have a right to know what happened.
Hudgins said the script for
Waco compresses and simplifies the facts.
Ferrari insisted the script is historically accurate and does not reflect poorly on Texas.
Thousands of hours of research went into this project, he said.
Every expert on Waco worked for me.
Ferrari told the Chronicle he would seek a new location but
the movie should be filmed in Texas, where it actually happened.

LONDON and SAN FRANCISCO, September 22, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
- Phase II Study Published in the New England Journal of Medicine
AstraZeneca's (LSE: AZN) new oral syk inhibitor, fostamatinib (R788), recently in-licensed from Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: RIGL), significantly improved outcomes of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who responded inadequately to ongoing treatment with methotrexate (MTX), according to phase II study data published in The New England Journal of Medicine today.
In the six-month phase IIb study completed by Rigel, known as TASKi2, 67% of patients taking fostamatinib 100mg twice daily achieved the primary efficacy endpoint (ACR 20)* at six months, which was significantly higher than placebo. Thirty-six percent of patients achieved an ACR 20 response after just one week. Speed of onset may be an important factor in RA because permanent joint damage can occur when the disease is active. The most common adverse events included diarrhea and upper respiratory infection.
"In this study, we saw a significant clinical benefit in this rheumatoid arthritis population and a manageable safety profile," said Mark C. Genovese, Division of Rheumatology, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA. "Based on the data, further study of fostamatinib as an oral agent for the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis is certainly warranted."
Patients in the study had active RA despite treatment with MTX alone, and were given either fostamatinib 100mg twice daily (bid), fostamatinib 150mg once daily (qd), or placebo.
