If you want to hang out with him then go for it! He may or may not like you.. He may just think you'd be fun to hang out with like you think of him.. You could try hanging out with him in a group so he gets the idea of "friends." but if you hang out alone and he does ask you out.. You may have to do the old "I like you as a friend but nothing more" line. It's harsh but it's the only way to get your message across. Good Luck!
Hope I Helped!

There are options to this situation you could talk to him on the phone,tell him that you see him only as a friend and nothing more.Second option is invent any excuse what so ever to get you off to hanging out with him like you are busy or you're sick anything.Or when you will meet him somewhere always bring in somebody with you so you won't be alone.

If you want to hang out with him, go ahead! I would just call him & say "Maybe we can hang out with a group of friends this weekend" that way he'll understand that you don't want to hang out with him alone. I'm sure he'll understand, but if he seems like he doesn't, just say something like "I'm glad we're hanging out. You're such a great friend". He should get the picture after that. Good luck hun!

You should accept. But when you do say "Yeah we should hang out, we're friends right?" Use the word friend. He will probably get the picture. And after you guys hang out say something like I'm so glad we're friends. He'll then realize you just want to be friends. I hope I helped!

With Rene Meulensteen taking on the new role as First Team Coach, filling the shoes of Mike Phelan who was promoted to Assistant Manager, he believes Sir Alex Ferguson has made the right decision in trusting in stability and continuity when appointing the two men.
"Part of the success at Manchester United over the years is related to the stability and continuity at the club which the manager brings himself," Rene said. "I think Sir Alex had a good look to see how the partnership with myself would work and whether it would be a good idea. When things start to kick in with the league with games etc, I think he saw enough to decide not to bring anyone else in."
I cannot deny the importance in sticking with proven members of staff. I love that we still have people like Sir Bobby Charlton, Brian McClair, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Bryan Robson on our books, and look forward to the day when Sir Alex Ferguson, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville take up other positions at the club.
However, I still find the decision to appoint Phelan questionable. The new assistant should have been someone with the merits backing them to be the next United manager, not a former player who has limited experience in coaching outside of United.
Our former assistant was deemed talented enough to take on the position of Portugal manager, and that is the calibre of man we should have brought in. Rene has reflected on the good work of Carlos Queiroz, stating it is necessary to carry on with the methods he implemented.
"We must realise the good things that Carlos has put in place here," he added. "We need to carry that on but maybe put our own identity on to things to ensure we keep progressing as a club."
Do you think we should have looked outside of coaching staff for the assistant job?
Made in Manchester is available for just £3. Some of the best football writers take a player each, from Sir Bobby Charlton to Ryan Giggs, George Best to David Beckham, Duncan Edwards to Paul Scholes, and many more, with 30 articles in total. All profit goes to Trafford Macmillan so please support this fantastic cause.

At first, I thought this recipe was a joke, too. It lacks sugar...add 1/2 cup sugar. It also needs twice as much milk...use three cups. Then, it is actually a great recipe!
RUN AWAY!! Why, oh why didn't I read the reviews before making this recipe? I was so caught up in finding a stovetop recipe using flour & eggs like my mom used to, that I failed to notice ther...
This recipe has got to be some kind of a joke. Most foul awful thing I have ever tasted...

No matter how many amazing things she does for the world, Taylor Swift can't seem to escape Twitter trolls and media morons.
The 25-year-old "Shake It Off" songstress recently addressed false reports that she and her gal pal Lorde are locked in a fight. Taylor tweeted, "Media, when you say 'Lorde & Taylor are fighting'-by fighting do you mean 'FaceTiming constantly from US to NZ and LOLing at you?' Thnx bye."
Though she currently calls New York City her home, Taylor Swift traveled back to Nashville for some family fun over the Easter holiday weekend.
The "Shake It Off" songstress took on her younger brother Austin in an Easter Egg hunt their parents set up, and they caught it all on video.
Now that they've gone public, Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris are all about publicly displaying their affection for one another.
During Thursday night's (April 2) HAIM concert at The Troubadour in West Hollywood, the "Should've Said No" songstress said yes to sitting on her EDM deejay boyfriend's lap and they even held hands as they made their way back to their ride.
Following weeks of speculation, several sources have confirmed that Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris are definitely more than just friends.
Per an Us Weekly insider, the "Blank Space" songstress is romantically involved with the handsome British EDM artist after hitting it off at the 2015 Brit Awards last month.
She's known for surprising her loyal followers with all kinds of awesome stuff and Taylor Swift gave two of her fans the night of their life on Sunday (March 29).
The "Shake It Off Singer" caught wind that diehard admirer Colleen Sullivan was at the iHeartRadio Music Awards and snatched her up along with one of her gal pals.
They're both major pop stars in their own right and last night (March 29) Taylor Swift and Madonna joined forces to rock the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
The Shrine Auditorium was the place to be on Sunday night (March 29) as the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards brought out the top pop stars.
Though she departed the country music realm with her latest album 1989, Taylor Swift is certainly still a southern girl at heart.
On Thursday (March 26) the "Love Story" songstress showed up at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville for her buddy Kenny Chesney's The Big Revival 2015 Tour kick-off, and she even joined him onstage for a duet!

Article: Patient Preference and Perception of Care Provided by Advance Nurse Practitioners and Physicians in Outpatient Adult Congenital Clinics: Patient Preference and Perception of Care[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective Nurse practitioners (NPs) have an established role for delivering competent care to patients in the primary care setting. The aim of this study was to compare satisfaction of patients managed by NPs vs. physicians in the outpatient adult congenital heart disease (CHD) clinic.DesignA prospective study conducted in two outpatient adult CHD clinics to assess patient satisfaction through standardized surveys. Demographic data included CHD diagnosis, age, and New York Heart Association functional class. All patients completed a Short-Form-12 to assess health status.ResultsOf the 371 patients recruited (52% men; median age 29 years, severe CHD complexity 31.5%) and seen by NP (n = 187) or physician (n = 184), physician-managed practices had higher perceived: overall experience, courtesy of provider (P < 0.05) and confidence (trust) in provider (P < 0.1). Overall, patients reported satisfaction with an NP providing care (98%), the NP was able to effectively deal with illness/CHD (95%), and an increased chance (94%) or willingness to see an NP at a future visit. Only 73% reported an understanding of NP training and how an NP differed from a registered nurse. There was a stronger perception of how an NP differed from a physician (83%).Conclusion Patient satisfaction was high regardless of whether care was provided by physicians or NPs. However, patients appear to make distinctions in what they believe the type of care each practitioner is best at providing. Patient education regarding competence of the different health care providers may continue to improve patient satisfaction.Congenital Heart Disease 06/2015; 63(12).

Article: Electronic Medical Record Integration with a Database for Adult Congenital Heart Disease: Early Experience and Progress in Automating Multicenter Data Collection[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The adoption of electronic health records (EHR) has created an opportunity for multicenter data collection, yet the feasibility and reliability of this methodology is unknown. The aim of this study was to integrate EHR data into a homogeneous central repository specifically addressing the field of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). Target data variables were proposed and prioritized by consensus of investigators at five target ACHD programs. Database analysts determined which variables were available within their institutions' EHR and stratified their accessibility, and results were compared between centers. Data for patients seen in a single calendar year were extracted to a uniform database and subsequently consolidated. From 415 proposed target variables, only 28 were available in discrete formats at all centers. For variables of highest priority, 16/28 (57%) were available at all four sites, but only 11% for those of high priority. Integration was neither simple nor straightforward. Coding schemes in use for congenital heart diagnoses varied and would require additional user input for accurate mapping. There was considerable variability in procedure reporting formats and medication schemes, often with center-specific modifications. Despite the challenges, the final acquisition included limited data on 2161 patients, and allowed for population analysis of race/ethnicity, defect complexity, and body morphometrics. Large-scale multicenter automated data acquisition from EHRs is feasible yet challenging. Obstacles stem from variability in data formats, coding schemes, and adoption of non-standard lists within each EHR. The success of large-scale multicenter ACHD research will require institution-specific data integration efforts. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

ABSTRACT: Basic knowledge of genetics is essential for understanding genetic testing and counseling. The lack of a written, English language, validated, published measure has limited our ability to evaluate genetic knowledge of patients and families. Here, we begin the psychometric analysis of a true/false genetic knowledge measure. The 18-item measure was completed by parents of children with congenital heart defects (CHD) (n = 465) and adolescents and young adults with CHD (ages 15-25, n = 196) with a mean total correct score of 12.6 (SD=3.5, range 0-18). Utilizing exploratory factor analysis, we determined that one to three correlated factors, or abilities, were captured by our measure. Through confirmatory factor analysis, we determined that the two factor model was the best fit. Although it was necessary to remove two items, the remaining items exhibited adequate psychometric properties in a multidimensional item response theory analysis. Scores for each factor were computed, and a sum-score conversion table was derived. We conclude that this genetic knowledge measure discriminates best at low knowledge levels and is therefore well suited to determine a minimum adequate amount of genetic knowledge. However, further reliability testing and validation in diverse research and clinical settings is needed. This article is protected by copyright.

Article: Lifetime Prevalence of Sexual Intercourse and Contraception Use at Last Sex Among Adolescents and Young Adults With Congenital Heart Disease[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Because of the increased risks associated with unplanned pregnancy for males and females with congenital heart disease (CHD), we investigated sexual intercourse and contraception use in these adolescents and young adults (AYA) and compared the same with national and state population data. We recruited 337 AYA with structural CHD aged 15-25 years (Mage = 19 years, standard deviation = 3.1; 53% male, 84% white) from an outpatient cardiology clinic to participate in a larger study assessing genetic knowledge and health behaviors. Cumulative lifetime prevalence of adolescent (aged 15-18 years) sexual intercourse was compared with the 2011 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System and the 2007 Ohio Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Cumulative lifetime prevalence of young adult (aged 19-25 years) sexual intercourse and contraception use at last sex were compared with the 2006-2008 National Survey of Family Growth. Reported rates of ever having sexual intercourse, 26% of adolescents and 74% of young adults with CHD, were significantly lower than general population rates (47% and 86% respectively; p < .001). Similar to the general population, 77% of previously sexually active young adults with CHD reported using at least one effective method of contraception at last intercourse, whereas 25% used dual effective methods and 23% used no effective method. Lower rates of ever having sexual intercourse in this population suggest that the psychosexual development of AYA with CHD may lag behind their peers. As nearly one in four participants reported using no effective method of contraception, health care providers should increase discussions of contraception with males and females with CHD.

ABSTRACT: Aberrant cellular oxygen sensing (pseudo-hypoxia) is a leading theory for development of pheochromocytoma (PHEO) and paraganglioma (PGL). To test the hypothesis that chronic hypoxia in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD, CHD) increases the risk for PHEO-PGL. We investigated the association between CCHD and PHEO-PGL with 2 complementary studies: Study 1) An international consortium was established to identify patients with PHEO-PGL diagnosis confirmed by pathology, or biochemistry and imaging. Study 2) The 2000-2009 Nationwide Inpatient Survey, a nationally representative discharge database, was used to determine population-based cross-sectional PHEO-PGL frequency in hospitalized CCHD patients compared with non-cyanotic CHD and those without CHD using multivariable logistic regression adjusted for age, sex, and genetic PHEO-PGL syndromes. Study 1) We identified 20 PHEO-PGL cases, of which 18 had CCHD. Most presented with cardiovascular or psychiatric symptoms. Median cyanosis duration for the CCHD PHEO-PGL cases was 20y (range 1-57y). Cases were young at diagnosis (median 31.5y, range 15-57) and 7/18 had multiple tumors (2 bilateral PHEO; 6 multi-focal or recurrent PGL) while 11 had single tumors (7 PHEO; 4 PGL). PGL were abdominal (13/17) or head/neck (4/17). Cases displayed a noradrenergic biochemical phenotype similar to reported hypoxia-related PHEO-PGL genetic syndromes, but without clinical signs of such syndromes. Study 2) Hospitalized CCHD patients had increased likelihood of PHEO-PGL (adjusted OR=6.0, 95%CI [2.6-13.7], p<0.0001) compared with those without CHD; patients with non-cyanotic CHD had no increased risk (OR=0.9, p=0.48). There is a strong link between CCHD and PHEO-PGL. Whether these rare diseases co-associate due to hypoxic stress, common genetic or developmental factors, or some combination, requires further investigation.The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism 01/2015; DOI:10.1210/jc.2014-3863 · 6.31 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The univentricular heart includes a spectrum of complex cardiac defects that are managed by staged palliative surgical procedures, ultimately resulting in a Fontan procedure. Since 1971, when it was first developed, the procedure has undergone several variations. These patients require lifelong management, including a thorough knowledge of their anatomic substrate, hemodynamic status, management of rhythm and ventricular function, together with multi-organ evaluation. As these patients enter middle age, there is increasing awareness of long-term complications and mortality. This review highlights the concept behind the staged surgical palliations, the unique single ventricle physiology and the long-term complications in this complex cohort of patients.Circulation Journal 10/2013; DOI:10.1253/circj.CJ-13-1105 · 3.69 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Background Adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) clinicians are hampered by the paucity of data to inform clinical decision-making. The objective of this study was to identify priorities for clinical research in ACHD. Methods A list of 45 research questions was developed by the Alliance for Adult Research in Congenital Cardiology (AARCC), compiled into a survey, and administered to ACHD providers. Patient input was sought via the Adult Congenital Heart Association at community meetings and online forums. The 25 top questions were sent to ACHD providers worldwide via an online survey. Each question was ranked based on perceived priority and weighted based on time spent in ACHD care. The top 10 topics identified are presented and discussed. Results The final online survey yielded 139 responses. Top priority questions related to tetralogy of Fallot (timing of pulmonary valve replacement and criteria for primary prevention ICDs), patients with systemic right ventricles (determining the optimal echocardiographic techniques for measuring right ventricular function, and indications for tricuspid valve replacement and primary prevention ICDs), and single ventricle/Fontan patients (role of pulmonary vasodilators, optimal anticoagulation, medical therapy for preservation of ventricular function, treatment for protein losing enteropathy). In addition, establishing criteria to refer ACHD patients for cardiac transplantation was deemed a priority. Conclusions The ACHD field is in need of prospective research to address fundamental clinical questions. It is hoped that this methodical consultation process will inform researchers and funding organizations about clinical research topics deemed to be of high priority.International journal of cardiology 01/2013; 171(3).

ABSTRACT: AimsThere is a fivefold increase in the frequency of intracranial aneurysm (IA) in adults with coarctation of the aorta (CoA). Current guidelines for management of adults with CoA recommend computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance imaging of the intracranial vessels. However, this recommendation has not been universally accepted. The purpose of our study was to prospectively perform CTA of the intracranial vessels in adults with CoA to evaluate the prevalence and identify high-risk features of this complication. Methods and ResultsFrom January 2008 to February 2011, adults 18 years of age with CoA were prospectively enrolled in a screening program with CTA of the intracranial vessels. Analyses of prognostic variables were performed with both Fisher's exact and two sample t-test. Forty-three patients (58% female, 33.55 10.21 years) with CoA completed CTA of the intracranial vessels. Five patients (11%) were found to have IA. Patients with IA were older than those without (45.6 +/- 8.17 vs. 30.89 +/- 7.89, P = 0.0003). There were no statistically significant differences detected between measurements of fasting lipid profiles, C-reactive protein, brain natriuretic peptide, and homocysteine levels among CoA patients with and without IA (P = not significant). Conclusion Prospective screening of adults with CoA confirmed the increased prevalence of IA but also identified increased age as the sole risk factor. These data suggested that screening is justified particularly in the fourth and fifth decades of life. Further studies are required that focus on the development, natural history, and treatment of IA.Congenital Heart Disease 12/2012; 8(4). DOI:10.1111/chd.12024 · 1.20 Impact Factor
Article: QRS Duration and Mechanical Dyssynchrony Correlations with Right Ventricular Function after Fontan Procedure[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: In studies of adult patients, increased QRS duration and mechanical dyssynchrony have been associated with decreased ventricular function. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that similar findings would be present in a population of patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) after the Fontan procedure. METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted. All patients with HLHS after the Fontan procedure were eligible. QRS duration was measured using 12-lead electrocardiography. Echocardiographic measurements of mechanical dyssynchrony included Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) QRS to onset of s' wave difference between the left ventricle and the right ventricle, time to peak strain, time to peak systolic strain rate (SRs), the standard deviation of time to peak strain rate (modified Yu strain), and the standard deviation of time to peak SRs (modified Yu SRs). Right ventricular (RV) functional measurements included DTI s' wave, DTI RV myocardial performance index, global strain, global SRs, and RV fractional area change. Pearson's correlations were performed between the variables. RESULTS: Thirty-one echocardiographic studies were performed on 26 patients. The median age was 5.3 years (range, 2.5-15.4 years). QRS duration was correlated significantly with global SRs (r = 0.42). Time to peak SRs was correlated significantly with DTI s' wave (r = -0.48) and global SRs (r = 0.37). Modified Yu SRs was correlated significantly with global strain (r = 0.35) and RV fractional area change (r = -0.35). CONCLUSIONS: Both QRS duration and mechanical dyssynchrony were correlated with RV function, albeit weakly. The clinical significance of these findings is intriguing, but only larger studies will determine if these measurements are reliable in guiding treatment options for this complex patient population.Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography: official publication of the American Society of Echocardiography 12/2012; 26(2).

Article: From balloon angioplasty to covered stents in the management of coarctation of the aorta in adults with congenital heart disease[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) occurs in 0.04% of the population and accounts for approximately 10% of lesions in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD). It can occur as an isolated lesion or as a part of a complex defect and is associated with multiple complications, both with and without treatment. Since the first surgical repair in 1944, significant refinement in surgical techniques has expanded the available treatment options. While transcatheter therapy for both native and especially recurrent CoA has become the standard of care for young patients, the use of bare metal stent has been associated with significant complications in adults. Perhaps one of the most important advances in the management of CoA, has been the development of covered stent technology. Covered stents offer the advantage of excluding any stretch-induced wall trauma from the endoluminal aspect of the aorta, particularly in the catastrophic event of aortic rupture which has been reported. Here we describe the indications for and the limitations in the use of covered stents in the treatment of CoA. These may be used as the therapy of choice in patients with native CoA, complications after prior CoA repair, patients with severe and complex CoA lesions, or patients with advanced age.Progress in Pediatric Cardiology 12/2012; 34(2):97–103.

Article: Correlation of Serum Biomarkers in Adults with Single Ventricles with Strain and Strain Rate Using 2D Speckle Tracking.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: With advances in cardiac care, patients with congenital heart disease, including single ventricle (SV) physiology, now survive into adulthood. These patients often suffer from congestive heart failure (CHF) with overexpression of serum biomarkers. Strain and strain rate (SR) may better describe the myocardial mechanics of a failing SV. Our objective was to determine the correlation between strain/SR and biomarkers in adult patients with SV and CHF. METHODS: Adult patients (age ≥8 years) with a SV were enrolled. Strain/SR in a 16-segment model of a SV was measured using 2D speckle echocardiography. Serum levels of interleukin 6, interleukin 8, matrix metalloproteinase 9, procollagen I C-terminal peptide (PCIP), cross-linked carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP), pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, nitrotryrosine, tissue growth factor beta (TGF-β), tumor necrosis factor alpha, vascular endothelial growth factor, and creatinine (Cr) were measured. Patients underwent a complete 6 Minute Walk Test (MWT). Pearson correlation coefficient was used. P <.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: Ten patients with SV (LV = 7, RV = 3) were enrolled. Mean age was 35.5 years (25-42 years). Mean single ventricular ejection fraction (SVEF) was 47%. ICTP correlated with the basal, mid, and apical anterolateral SR, as well as apical anterior and inferior SR. PCIP correlated with mid anterolateral, basal anteroseptal, and mid inferolateral SR. TGF-β correlated with apical inferior SR. Cr correlated with mid inferior-septal and apical lateral SR. 6 MWT negatively correlated with the apical anterior septum SR. CONCLUSIONS: ICTP, Cr, and PCIP correlated best with segmental SR values. Our results provide a preliminary platform for future studies to follow the results of treatment modalities using strain/SR and biomarkers for CHF in this population.Congenital Heart Disease 10/2012; DOI:10.1111/chd.12006 · 1.20 Impact Factor

Conference Paper: LEFT VENTRICULAR SYSTOLIC FUNCTION IMPROVES AFTER PULMONARY VALVE REPLACEMENT FOR ADULTS WITH CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Currently >85% of children in the US with congenital heart disease (CHD) survive to adulthood. Patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and critical pulmonary stenosis (PS) frequently present with late sequelae including pulmonary insufficiency, right ventricular (RV) enlargement and systolic dysfunction. These patients may have left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction for no apparent cause. Prior studies have demonstrated improvement in RV size and function after pulmonary valve replacement (PVR); however changes in LV function post-PVR have rarely been described. We sought to determine the mid term results on LV function after PVR using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Methods: Retrospective review of pts (≥16 years) from 1/1/06 to 7/1/11 was performed. Demographics, clinical variables, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and post-op medication use were reviewed. Pre and post-PVR CMR scans were analyzed for LV and RV volumes and ejection fraction (EF). Paired t-test was used to compare pre and post-PVR volumes and EF. Pearson linear correlation and multivariate analysis evaluated the effect of variables on LVEF. Results: There were 40 pts who met inclusion criteria (TOF=29, PS=11). Mean age was 29±9 yrs (range:16-53). Each pt had a CMR before (173 days±103) and after PVR (446 days±264). For the entire cohort, the mean LVEF increased from 54±8% to 57±6% (p = 0.023). Pre-PVR, 9 pts had depressed LVEF (44±5%, range 36-49%). In this group, the LVEF significantly increased post-PVR by 10±7% (p=.004). By multivariate analysis to assess CMR predictors for improved LVEF post-PVR, the only variable to emerge was low EF pre-PVR (regression coefficient:-.7,R2=.59, p<0.0001). Demographics, clinical variables, medications, prior pregnancies and CPB time had no effect on LVEF post-PVR. Conclusion: This is the largest CMR study to describe the mid-term results of LV function after PVR in adults with CHD. Patients with depressed LVEF pre-PVR had significant improvement in LV function post-PVR. Larger studies are needed to further evaluate predictors and pathophysiologic mechanisms associated with improved LVEF.American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions, 2012; 03/2012

Conference Paper: Electrical and Mechanical Dyssynchrony Correlations with Right Ventricular Function After Fontan Procedure[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Purpose: Patients with systemic right ventricle (RV) after Fontan procedure are at increased risk for heart failure. In adult studies, increased mechanical and/or electrical dyssynchrony have been associated with decreased ventricular function. The goal of this study was to determine if similar correlations exist in a population of single RV patients status post Fontan. Methods: All patients with a single RV following Fontan were eligible. Retrospective cross sectional analysis of echocardiograms and electrocardiograms (EKGs) was performed. Electrical dyssynchrony was defined as QRS duration which was measured on a 12 lead EKG. Echocardiographic measurements of mechanical dyssynchrony included TDI QRS to onset of S wave difference between left ventricle (LV) and RV, time to peak strain, time to peak strain rate, modified Yu strain, and modified Yu strain rate. RV function measurements included TDI s wave, TDI RV MPI, global strain, global strain rate and RV fractional area change. Pearson's correlations were performed between the variables. A p value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Thirty echocardiograms were performed on 27 patients. Twenty one patients had hypoplastic left heart syndrome, four had double-outlet right ventricle, two had unbalanced atrioventricular septal defect. Mean age was 6.7 +/- 4.3 yrs. Mean QRS duration was 97 +/- 21 msec. Mean TDI QRS to onset of S wave difference between LV and RV was 19.1 +/- 15.1 msec, time to peak strain was 357 +/- 51 msec, time to peak strain rate was 190 +/- 41 msec, modified Yu strain was 51.2 +/- 14.9, and modified Yu strain rate was 130.8 +/- 63.1. Mean TDI s wave was 0.05 +/- 0.01 m/s, TDI RV MPI was 0.4 +/- 0.1, global strain rate was -1.03 +/- 0.23 1/s, global strain was -17.3 +/- 3.4% and RV fractional area change was 29.1 +/- 5.8%. QRS duration correlated significantly with global strain (r = 0.41) and global strain rate (r = 0.61). Time to peak strain and strain rate correlated significantly with TDI s wave (r = -0.39, r = -0.54, respectively). Modified Yu strain rate correlated significantly with global strain (r = 0.48), global strain rate (r = 0.54) and RV fractional area change (r = -0.43). Conclusion: Both electrical and mechanical dyssynchrony correlated with RV function. Electrical dyssynchrony had a slightly greater correlation than mechanical dyssynchrony with RV function. Future studies are needed to determine if correcting one or both of these parameters will improve function in single RV patients.2011 American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference and Exhibition; 10/2011

Here and now
"Eyes open"
This is a great book to use as a refresher for the power of now or as a introduction. If this is your first Eckhart Tolle book then I think it is a great book to see if your ready for his teachings. You will either feel the desire to know more or you will not. If you want to jump in head first then read, the power of now first and use this as a refresher.
"One book to read in different times of life"
As any good book on self knowledge, this one has short passages of tremendous depth. Repetition is essential to capture these core concepts due to a important fact described by the book: rarely we can listen without any kind of internal noise or mental process. In my case I listen one chapter several times and always find "new" passages.
There are quite a few. One interest thing is to discover that you have not really listened to it and everytime you revisit a chapter there are parts that seem brand new.
It's about the media, the channel. Eckhart's voice and tone leads to a more concentrated listening. Some sentences are subtlely emphasized and the understanding varies with that.
We are always attracted to mental projections and live most of our time in toxic states. An educated mind opens way to the now.
I love learning thru books, about life, people and ways to be better. My best listen so far? The Power of Now, have a good listen!
"good but a bit of a repetition"
I love Eckhart Tolle's books, but having read the Power of now and A New Earth I found some of this things wore pure repetition of earlier books, but still his words and the way he says them bring me a big sense of calmness and peace
Alan Zulch
"Cogent book goes right to the essence of our task"
Tolle's insights are crisply articulated in this book. It is full of valuable practices to suit many different situations, moods, etc.
Tolle is the clearest and most accessible person speaking about - and perhaps ever to speak about - the importance of presence, for individuals but also the world.
I wept a few times, as I was completely taken by the profundity of what he is sharing.
"Belief In Any Power"
An awareness that a power greater than ourselves is bring up the sun in the morning and the moon at night. Showing this power who ever you believe in our daily lives. How to draw this power in our lives more often and live happier life.
"Somthing I will recommend!!"
A good book everyone should read, really helped me understand the first book "power of now" more deeply
"Good book"
It summarizes the actual book perfectly. Though I have read it multiple times, I still enjoy it.
"life changing"
I listed to it every night as I sleep hoping the principles will become ingrained in my subconscious ! I love it
"Life changing, even for very positive already successful people!"
This book must be listened to at least 4 times.
I found this book life changing.
"Reassuring, life changing!"
I came across this book in a moment that I already suspected most of us were not awake. This timeless knowledge confirms that the only way to be successful - and most importantly know who you are- is by practicing stillness, meditation, being entirely with yourself; not letting the mind control you.
Eckhart's voice is particular, but after a few minutes you should get used to it. His slow and deep tone will actually help you to connect with this sacred space - the now.

Is your sales comp plan working for you? (Requires 45 seconds to read)
While there is continuing debate about the role of money in motivating today's sales teams, compensation remains one of the largest factors in determining whether your sales team will perform to expectations (presupposing, of course, that you have the right people on the team in the first place). Many organizations regularly modify their sales compensation plans in an attempt to drive the right results which is stressful on an organization and points to an inability to find a plan that works. If you are wondering if your sales comp plan is the right plan, ask yourself these questions:
Performance – Are the majority of reps hitting their sales targets? This is a sign that the compensation and incentive plan is working, particularly when combined with other signs below.
Behaviors – Do your reps consistently demonstrate the behaviours that will make them and the sales team successful? Some comp plans have the unintended consequences of triggering self serving actions from the reps. Look beyond your top line results to see how the comp plan contributes to the right behaviours.
Margins – Is the cost of the sales function in line with the revenue? A high cost of sale will result from low sales, but can also arise when reps commission plans are too high relative to performance.
Employer of Choice – Are you able to attract the best in your business? When reps are set up to succeed and are paid well for performance, word gets out and the best talent in sector are interested in getting on board.
Manageability – Do you need someone working full time to administer your comp plan? If the answer is yes, that is likely a sign your plan is not working. Effective sales comp plans are simple to understand and easy to manage.
Devise the right sales comp plan and put it to work.
To your success!

Music and Racism! All in One Blog
By ZombiePie 3 Comments
Something caught my attention when I finally sat down and watched Ubisoft's entire press conference. What caught my attention was that the CG trailer for Assassin's Creed: Revelations uses a song by Yoann Lemoine. I guess the Frenchies stick together especially when you consider that the CG trailer for Brotherhood used a Justice (yes they are French also) song. Anyways Lemoine is a well known well known music video director of all things having directed the music videos for Katy Perry's song "Teenage Dream" and Taylor Swift's song "Back to December." The song that Ubisoft used for Revelations was actually from his debut solo album Iron. The song title is, simply enough, Iron. This is the music video that he directed for his own song:
Oh what about the racism part of my blog title? Well as twittered by Rorie and written about by The Huffington Post here is what I would call the most racist, sexist, and most disgusting political ad I have seen since probably Elihu Harris. And no I'm not going to actually post it in my blog.

I wish only to remember the forgotten in the abandoned cemeteries that I list and to memorialize all those who have passed away. I wish no disrespect to anyone. If you are a family member or close friend please ask me nicely and I will transfer memorials.
Please do not transfer a memorial to me unless I have requested it. I add information to memorials that I am in no way related to.
If you should find a mistake or duplicate, please let me know.
Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Matthew 11:28-30
28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Psalm 46:1
1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Nahum 1:7
7 The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him,
Psalms 91:1-4
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
Hebrews 9:28
So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:6-8

Book 11: The Nublis Chronicles: The Wages of Deception
by Kate Saundby
My first experience at a naturist beach. Most assuredly the first of many. The graphic I am using is THE beach referred to in the poem.
Speak to me oh Mother of mine
Whisper my name in the waves
Allow me to come home
To begin again intentionally
Your labor of love surrounds me
This journey of reclamation
Painless as I shed the last
Bastion of societal restraint
To fully surrender myself
As you guide and nurture my spirit
In the flight of the bird overhead
I am reminded that in life we
Soar above life�s trials
As the turtle crawls from land to sea
I am reminded that we are grounded to each other
In the waves that kiss my body
I am reminded that passion comes and goes
In the pregnant white clouds far off in the distance
I am reminded that even as we are filled with hope
And awe, we are to be mindful to pause and give thanks
In the sand that peppers my skin and under girds me
I am reminded that no one-grain of sand makes a beach
Just as no one human makes humanity
As I watch people in pursuit of the same re-birth
I rejoice as their childhood returns to them
Playful and free once again
!Libertad Mother, Libertad!

WSRP Really Works! (Part 2 of 2) By Matt Silver 2/15/2008 Abstract A standard from OASIS called Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) is used to allow portlets to be decoupled from a portal. In the previous article, we introduced the relevant standards ans specifications and then demonstrated WSRP's capabilities by consuming a WebSphere Portal portlet within WebLogic Portal. In this second article, we explore the reverse scenario by illustrating WebSphere Portal acting as the portlet consumer and WebLogic operating as the portlet producer. Scenario 2: WebSphere Portal Acts as a Consumer and WebLogic Portal Acts as a Producer In order for WebSphere Portal to consume a WebLogic Portal portlet, several things need to happen: WebLogic Portal o Functions as a producer o Offers (shares) the portlet WebSphere Portal o Functions as a consumer o Adds a remote producer o Creates a remote portlet o Adds the remote portlet to a page Once again, WebSphere Portal and WebLogic Portal both function as consumers and producers without requiring any special setup. However, the other steps still need to be performed. WebLogic Portal – Offer a Portlet WebLogic Portal automatically allows portlets created using WebLogic for Workshop to be shared. There is a property called Offer as Remote which is set to true by default. Unfortunately, this property is not visible in the WebLogic Portal Administration Console. However, below is a figure illustrating the property in WebLogic for Workshop. Consequently, there's nothing you need to do to share the portlet. This is different from the way WebSphere Portal behaves, where you have to explicitly share the portlet using the administration console. Now it's on to configuring the consumer. WebSphere Portal - Add a Producer Log onto WebSphere Portal (e.g., http://portalpc:10038/wps/portal). Click the Launch button and select Administration to navigate to the WebSphere Portal Administration Console. Click the Web Services node underneath Portlet Management in the navigation bar. Click the New Producer button in the Web Service Configuration administration portlet. Unlike in WebLogic Portal, there is only one step involved in adding a producer. Enter a Title for the producer, which serves as a label. In this case, input BEA WebLogic Portal Server v9.2. Next, input the URL to WSDL service definitions. This URL points to the WSDL document that contains information about the producer and how to connect to its services. Specifically, it contains the URLs of the WSRP interfaces supported by the provider. In the case of WebLogic Portal, the standard format for this URL is: http://host:port/webAppName/producer?wsdl In our case, this URL translates to: http://portalpc:7001/BEAPortalWeb/producer?wsdl. Enter this URL. You'll notice that there is a Registration handle text area inside the New Producer page. Even though the WebSphere Portal Producer does not support registration, the WebSphere Portal Consumer can accommodate other producers that do support the registration interface. However, leave the field blank. You'll see why in a moment. Click OK to create the producer. If WebSphere Portal is able to connect to WebLogic Portal, obtain its service description, and register, a success message will be displayed at the top of the Web Service Configuration portlet. Click on the pencil (Edit this Producer) icon to the right of BEA WebLogic Portal v9.2. Notice that the Registration handle, which we had previously left blank, is now filled in with some value (e.g., 2005). The registration handle was created by WebLogic Portal and passed back to WebSphere Portal during the registration process. Going forward, WebSphere Portal needs to supply the registration handle whenever it interacts with any WebLogic Portal, producer offered portlet (i.e., BEA Java Portlet). One of the advantages of the registration handle is that if WebSphere Portal gets deregistered, WebLogic Portal can delete any instances of the portlets allocated to WebSphere Portal, thereby leading to better memory management. WebSphere Portal - Create a Remote Portlet Now it's time to create a remote (proxy) portlet. The process is a bit different from WebLogic's. To do so, click the Web Modules node under Portlet Management in the navigation bar. Click the Consume button in the Manage Web Modules administrative portlet. In step 1, you must select which producer you want to consume a portlet from. Click the BEA WebLogic Portal v9.2 producer we just added. In step 2, you must choose which portlet to consume. Check BEA Java Portlet. Click OK. A message indicating the web module has been consumed should appear at the top of the Manage Web Modules portlet. If you want to see the corresponding web module that was just consumed, select File name contains in the Search by drop-down menu. Type BEA in the Search field and click the Search button. The module WSRP Producer (BEA WebLogic Portal v9.2) Web Module will be listed, which indicates that the web module is a producer web module associated with the BEA WebLogic Portal v9.2 producer we configured earlier. If you want to see that a remote portlet was created, click on the Portlets node under Portlet Management in the navigation bar. Select All remote portlets from the Search by drop-down menu and click Search. Notice that BEA Java Portlet is listed and that the Remote portlet column is checked. WebSphere Portal - Add the Remote Portlet to a Page Adding a remote portlet is just like adding a local portlet to a page. If you're unfamiliar with how to do so, refer to the WebSphere Portal 6.0 Information Center (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wpdoc/v6r0/index.jsp). In our case, we've added the local portlet to the left column and the remote portlet to the right column. Test the Portlets Navigate to the home page for the portal by clicking on the Launch button and selecting Home. Click the Page 1 tab to navigate to the page containing our two portlets. Notice that the remote portlet, BEA Java Portlet, has the same look and feel as the local portlet, IBM Java Portlet. The look and feel for a remote portlet can be modified the same way as the look and feel for a local portlet. Now try out the two portlets. In the IBM Java Portlet (local portlet), notice that the address that you added earlier, using the WebLogic Portal desktop, is listed. Click on the Details link next to the address to see the details. In the BEA Java Portlet (local portlet), input a message in the text box. Click the Update Message button. The message should be echoed back inside the portlet. Notice that the remote portlet behaves as we'd expect. This is what we want. It should be transparent to the end user that the BEA Java Portlet is not hosted by the consumer. Conclusion In this article, we saw how to use WSRP 1.0 to create portals consisting of both local portlets and remote portlets. We examined the reverse scenario from our pervious article, with WebSphere Portal serving as a consumer and WebLogic Portal serving as a producer. We used each vendor's portal administration console to configure a producer, create a remote portlet, and add the remote portlet to a page. In the case of WebSphere Portal, we also needed to explicitly share the portlet. WebLogic Portal shares all portlets created using WebLogic for Workshop by default. We also tested the resulting portal pages and saw that the remote portlets looked and acted like local portlets. This article series demonstrates an important capability for many enterprises. The ability to leverage information and capabilities via portal products in a diverse, multi-vendor environment is increasingly important. With rapid growth, mergers and acquisitions, and even just collaboration between business units, there is increasingly demand for master information management. WSRP enables enterprises to move one step closer to robust and seamless knowledge management.
