Community activity is part of 'civic responsibility'. It's about doing things in our community because we want to or feel we should, rather than because we have to by law.
You can take civic responsibility and be active in your community by:
Your child might be interested in online civic or community activities – for example, an online campaign to save a local area of parkland. Online community involvement can motivate teenagers to get involved in face-to-face community activities.
It doesn't matter what teenagers do. Any involvement is good! When you get involved in community activities, you get a lot of personal rewards and feelings of achievement
Role models
By getting involved with community activities, teenagers can come into contact with like-minded peers and positive adult role models other than their parents. Interacting and cooperating with other adults encourages teenagers to see the world in different ways. It puts their own family experiences and values into a wider context.
For example, your family might have certain religious or spiritual beliefs – or none at all – but when your child comes into contact with others who believe different things, perhaps through some charity work, he might see some new ways of putting beliefs into action for the good of others.
Identity and connection
Young people are busy working out who they are and where they fit in the world. They try out different identities, experiment with different styles of dress and might try out a range of different activities and hobbies.
Being involved in community activities can give your child a positive way of understanding who she is. As a result, she might come to see herself as helpful, generous, political or just a 'good' person in general. Being involved in community activities can also help create a sense of being connected to her local community and the wider world.
Community activities give teenagers the chance to apply the skills they already have. For example, your child could use the cooking skills he's learned at home at a community sausage sizzle or at a soup kitchen.
Voluntary work and community activities are also great opportunities to show initiative and develop skills to get a job.
For example, the sausage sizzle could give your child experience in speaking to customers and handling cash. Volunteering for Meals on Wheels might help your child prepare for getting a part-time job as a waiter. For a child interested in being a vet, helping out at an animal shelter or washing and walking local dogs is a good way to demonstrate commitment and get a reference.
Being able to manage free time while balancing leisure, work and study is an important life skill. Being part of community activities could motivate your child to get more organised and start to manage her own time.
Self-confidence, mental health and wellbeing
Community activities can boost teenagers' self-confidence. Your child can learn to deal with challenges, communicate with different people and build up his life skills and abilities in a supportive environment. This is also good for your child's self-esteem.
It's also a great foundation for general and mental health and wellbeing.
It can be very positive psychologically for young people to have something that gets them involved, where others expect them to turn up and take part, and where they're supported to achieve something as part of a group. These positive feelings can help protect young people from sadness and depression.
Being involved in some kind of community activity can also reduce the likelihood of substance abuse, mental illness and criminal activity.
Start earlyThere are lots of ways for your child to be involved from early on.
Children can also be more naturally involved when they see their parents doing it – perhaps being on the preschool committee, spending weekends at local festivals or swapping favours with other local families. Finding the time to develop these early childhood networks with other families and local groups is a great way to encourage later involvement.
Children are also more likely to get involved if their friends are. As children enter adolescence, peers become more influential in their lives. One way of encouraging community involvement might be to suggest that your child undertake an activity with a friend who might already be involved in the community.
Take your child's personality into accountIs your child a quiet, slow-to-warm-up character, who might like to observe the first few times? Perhaps bringing a close friend along to a 'clean up the park day' would be a good start. Or does your child love leading and being in the limelight? Then mentoring a group of primary school kids doing a school performance might appeal.
For more ideas, you could also think about the kind of books your child reads or websites she visits. These can give you a good idea of what she's interested in.
Model civic responsibilityTake your child with you if you drop off a meal to a new parent or help someone move furniture. You can explain that it feels good to do things for others. You could also try taking him to a rally or political event so he can see other young people engaged in broader community activities and issues.
Help your child get startedIf your child wants to get involved but is a bit worried about it, a family approach might help. You might try joining a local sailing, football, soccer or photography club as a family. Or you and your child could join an art group together or community theatre where you work behind the scenes.
Your child might need your help to make the first contact with a group. Cold-calling can be challenging, so if you help your child do the groundwork, you might be able to increase her
chances of success.
Some organisations have a minimum age for volunteers, so it's worth finding this out early on.
Build on what your child is already doing
If your child isn't that interested in community activities, one option is to accept this and just keep an eye out for future opportunities. But if you feel a push in the right direction is needed, you could try to build on things he's already doing.
For example, if your child is in the debating team at school, she might enjoy a junior toastmasters group or an opportunity to speak up on a youth issue. If she enjoys team sports, she could help out with some junior coaching. If she's done some fundraising at school, she might like to put this experience into practice raising interest and funds for a new skate park.
You could also encourage your child to look around the family and local area to see if there's someone he could help. Being community-minded doesn't have to happen in the wider community. It can also be helping a new mum with the washing, spending time gardening for grandparents or helping a neighbour with homework.
It's normal to be concerned about your child's safety if she's going off independently for a day or even longer, or to a group that you know very little about. It can help to do some preparation.
For example, depending on your child's age, you might decide to meet any adults your child is going to work with, or ensure the adult volunteers or workers have a Working with Children check. You could also agree on ground rules with your child about where he's allowed to do his community work – for example, you might agree that a public facility or space is OK, but a private home isn't.
Young people with special needs can get just as much out of being involved in community activities as typically developing children.
It's also really important for them to be represented in all kinds of community projects. This doesn't necessarily mean placing disability at the forefront. If your child is interested, she could link up with a group that understands her particular needs – for example, an organisation such as Hearing Impaired Youth.
Your child might prefer mainstream opportunities. His views as a young person will be valued in these activities, and his involvement will benefit other young people. You might want to consider hands-on experiences, things with tangible results and projects with a commitment to diversity.
From a practical point of view, it can help to consider your child's needs in relation to medications, bathroom routines, eating and so on. You could also think about how to make it easy for your child to fit in.

About the C-Pulse® Heart Assist System
The C-Pulse Heart Assist System, or C-Pulse System, an investigational device in the United States, Canada and countries that do not recognize the CE mark approval, utilizes the scientific principles of intra-aortic balloon counter-pulsation applied in an extra-aortic approach to assist the left ventricle by reducing the workload required to pump blood throughout the body, while increasing blood flow to the coronary arteries. Operating outside the patient's bloodstream, the extra-aortic approach of the C-Pulse technology offers greater flexibility, allowing patients to safely disconnect to have intervals of freedom to perform certain activities such as showering. The C-Pulse System may help maintain the patient's current condition and, in some cases, reverse the heart failure process, thereby potentially preventing the need for later stage heart failure therapies, such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), artificial hearts or transplants.
Caution: Investigational device, limited by Federal (or United States) Law to Investigational use.
About Sunshine® Heart
Sunshine Heart, Inc. (NASDAQ: SSH) (ASX: SHC) is an early-stage global medical device company committed to the commercialization of the C-Pulse Heart Assist System, an implantable, non-blood contacting, heart assist therapy for the treatment of moderate to severe heart failure. The C-Pulse System can be implanted using a minimally invasive procedure and is designed to relieve the symptoms of heart failure through the use of counter-pulsation technology, which enables an increase in cardiac output, an increase in coronary blood flow and a reduction in the heart's pumping load. Sunshine Heart has completed an approved U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) feasibility clinical trial of the C-Pulse System and presented the results in November 2011. In March, 2012, the FDA notified the company that it could move forward with an investigational device exemption (IDE) application. Sunshine Heart received conditional approval from the FDA in September 2012 to initiate its pivotal trial. In July 2012 Sunshine Heart received CE Mark for its C-Pulse System in Europe. Sunshine Heart is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Minneapolis with a subsidiary presence in Australia. The company has been listed on the ASX since September 2004 and on the NASDAQ since February 2012. For more information, please visit www.sunshineheart.com.

Same here. Just called. It matters when your billing cycle is ending to how much value you can get. Mine ends sep 20th, so I may cancel after that to get at least another three weeks before the deal dies.
And NO, there was no room for negotiation with the Premium Credit Check people.
I'm cancelling too unless there is some deal where I can keep unlimited pulls.
I was STUNNED to get this message from the fine folks at Experian today about changes to the USAA Creditcheck Monitoring Premium program:
Thank you for trusting Experian to provide you with industry-leading credit monitoring services. In order to continue to provide USAA members with competitive features and rates, CreditCheck Monitoring Premium will be undergoing a few changes on 10/9/2012.
Based on member feedback and usage, we determined that members actually need fewer full credit reports but more frequent updates on changes. With that in mind, here's what's changing:
Credit Reports will be available once per month, instead of on an unlimited basis. This frequency meets the needs of the vast majority of members. For those seeking unlimited credit reports please contact Experian at...
New! Score Alerts will be monitored and delivered to you twice per month, instead of only once per month. This helps you know when your credit score has changed.
Note, this is all for the same money we once paid for unlimited access to all three reports. Some observations:
1) This change makes the program completely worthless. The value of this deal is in the ability to access information on all three credit reports at any time. Those engaged in credit repair need the ability to see their reports more often than once per month. Most people in the program, meanwhile, probably do not access their credit reports often. But that doesn't suggest that sending one report a month "meets the needs" of these consumers. Indeed, I pay for knowing that I can access all my reports at any time. There is security in that. That is what I pay for.
2) Sending me score changes twice per month is beyond useless. First and foremost, under the old program, I can check my score everyday if I wanted to. Second, the are FAKO scores and hold no value. Most importantly, you show me a score change, what's the first thing I want to do? Pull a report. Which I now have to pay extra for if I've already gotten my one monthly report.
I'll be ditching this service, which, I have to say, I very much liked,because it let me see what was on all three reports at any time. I never paid attention to the scores, they are FAKO, but the security of knowing I could see what was going on at any point was excellent. And, the bald pretentiousness of the message--that giving me a dramatically scaled-back product for my money because research shows that's all I need--enrages me. You want to raise the price, hey, take shot. I'll listen. But to change the game completely and pitch it as a change that benefits me is shady.
I just ditched Creditkeeper for them on 8/17, and I am not blessed with an amex to have their services
I just got the same email and logged on to post it. I say we all unite in protest and cancel our CMS accounts. I will call and cancel both my wife's and mine today.
Anybody care to recommend a CMS that allows daily pulls?
Here's the one that I think Ilecs uses: http://www.eliminateidtheft.com/ There is info on it on the CMS sticky, but couldn't cut and paste with my iPad for some reason.
It's $12.95 a month and has daily pulls -
Looks like I'm going to be switching.
I just called to cancel my plan last week, as I no longer need the pulls myself, so they reduced me to $6/mo unl. pulls from the 3 CRA until Sept. 2013.
So this time next year, I'll make the determination as to whether or not I'll cancel them for good.

- Triple Bureau Credit Report - Get unlimited access to your credit report from all three national credit bureaus in one consolidated report. Because the three bureaus do not share data, experts say it's important to check all three at once.
Looks like I'm going to be switching.
Does this one give you unlimited pulls (reports/score) from all 3?
I believe so, according to the info on the CMS sticky that I couldnt paste.

Right now, I have the EX unlimited report/pulls for $12.95/month
Got an email stating USAA CMS is changing their reporting system. Instead of unlimited CR pulls, they are making it 1 pull a month. This does not help me when I like the unlimited access to pulls whwen I am disputing my credit issues. This starts 10/9...Any suggestions on other CMS that allow unlimted for all 3?

PET Scans Following CRC Treatment
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My father (60 year old male, reasonably healthy, diabetic) underwent a colon resection and removed a tumor from the rectosigmoid junction. His cancer is graded Stage IIIB and he got chemotherapy after. His follow up is with CT scans- Is this reliable? Would a PET scan be more sensitive? His doctors have indicated a PET scan is not necessary
James M. Metz, MD, Editor-in-Chief of OncoLink and Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
When following a patient after treatment, your fathers� physicians will use a variety of factors to determine response to therapy. This includes regular history and physical examinations, blood tests, radiologic studies, and colonoscopies. None of these things alone give all the information needed to determine response to treatment. When radiologic studies are ordered, typically CT scans are utilized. This is usually sufficient for most patients and can be very reliable when combined with the other things outlined above. PET scans are not accurate immediately after radiation, surgery, or infectious processes and can be falsely positive. If there is a question of an abnormality on a CT scan, at times a PET scan is ordered in follow up to define the biologic activity. Although PET scans can be sensitive in picking up a cancer, they are not always specific and pick up other things that have nothing to do with cancer. Thus PET scans are not the first choice in following patients after a diagnosis of colon cancer.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series, Colorectal cancer Webchat. View the entire transcript here.

Ronald Werft, president and CEO of Santa Barbara-based Cottage Health System, has been elected 2011 chairman of the California Hospital Association Board of Trustees.
"It's truly an honor to lead an association as respected as CHA," Werft said. "CHA has a well-earned reputation for effectively advocating on behalf of hospitals and the patients and communities we serve. This is especially important for California's community hospitals in these very challenging times."
Werft noted that the state's dire budget crisis and the uncertainties surrounding the implementation of national health-care reform make 2011 an especially critical year for hospitals and other health-care providers in the state.
"It's important to acknowledge that the governor and the Legislature face a monumental challenge in getting the state's fiscal house in order," Werft said. "And, although reasonable people can disagree on the details of national health-care reform, nearly everyone agrees with the goal of improving coverage and care in our communities. We must be vigilant in our advocacy efforts to ensure that hospitals are able to meet the growing expectations of our patients while making health care more affordable and accessible to all."
A graduate of UC San Diego, Werft earned his master's degree in hospital and health care administration from the University of Minnesota. He joined Cottage Health System in 1987, rising to the role of president/CEO in 2000.
The nonprofit, three-hospital system cares more for more than 20,000 inpatients and 64,000 emergency department visitors each year. Cottage also offers residency programs in internal medicine, general surgery and radiology, and is the largest private employer in Santa Barbara County.
In addition to his professional duties, Werft also serves on numerous boards of community and charitable organizations, including United Way of Santa Barbara County, Santa Barbara Partners in Education, the Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Fighting Back Steering Committee and Santa Barbara Middle School.

COLUMBIA, Mo. – South Carolina's miracle man has brought the impossible to life before.
Quarterback Connor Shaw's toughness is unquestioned. The senior has returned from severe injuries with lightning speed, never counted out, never willing to sit idly on the sideline. That toughness, more than anything, has become his legacy.
At Missouri, Shaw outdid himself.
Shaw sparked a miraculous, historic comeback for the No. 20 Gamecocks, leading them to a 27-24 win in double overtime before a sellout crowd of 67,124 at Memorial Stadium. Elliot Fry kicked a 40-yard field goal in the second overtime. The victory was sealed when No. 5 Missouri kicker Andrew Bagget boinked a 24-yard field goal high off the left upright in the second overtime, unleashing USC players as they stormed Faurot Field.
It was the opposite scene as last week, when Tennessee upset the Gamecocks with a game-winning field goal on the final play, then stormed the field.
"It was a game, I thought we were dead. At least three-quarters of the game, anyway," USC coach Steve Spurrier said. "But we made some points there in the fourth quarter, Connor Shaw brought us back, guys made some catches, defense stopped them. Somehow, our guy, Elliot Fry made a field goal and their guy missed.
"It just worked out tonight. That's all you can say. It was meant to be."
Focus on those five words. They're easy to miss.
On Saturday night, Connor Shaw brought USC back.
Shaw gave a superhuman effort, completing 20-of-29 passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns. He didn't practice during game week, nursing a sprained knee so gruesome trainers initially expected him to miss at least one week. Backup Dylan Thompson got the start, and Shaw was only available in case of emergency.
In the third quarter, USC had one.
The Gamecocks trailed 17-0 entering the final 15 minutes. They had a miserable first half, highlighted with two fumbles from star halfback Mike Davis and capped on a 96-yard touchdown pass from Missouri quarterback Maty Mauk to receiver L'Damian Washington.
By the third quarter, Spurrier said he thought his team simply needed to do something different. He made the right adjustment.
Shaw was inserted midway through the third quarter, and the offense instantly got new life. He completed 14-of-18 passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns in the fourth quarter alone, directing the comeback.
"First of all, Connor wasn't even supposed to be out there playing. I wasn't supposed to play either," said defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles, who battled a sprained knee Saturday to finish with a team-high six tackles, including two sacks and three tackles for loss. "So for him to come out and do what he did, that's amazing. I love that man to death. I wouldn't take no NFL, hall of famer, no other quarterback over him. I love that man to death, and I'm proud of what he did.
"We knew in the back of our mind, we – I know this is something you shouldn't say – but we some dogs. A wounded dog always fights harder when he's hurt. We knew we had to come out and fight hard, so that's what we did."
Shaw's 2-yard touchdown to Nick Jones with 42 seconds left in regulation forced only the third overtime in USC history. It was the Gamecocks' first overtime win in school history, and Spurrier's first overtime win as a head coach. Spurrier was previously 0-3 in overtime games.
Shaw said he never panicked throughout the comeback. USC had moved the football throughout the night, finishing with 498 yards against one of the SEC's top defenses. The Gamecocks had 225 yards in the first half, but three turnovers kept points off the scoreboard.
"Just stay calm," Shaw said, describing his mindset as he entered the game. "We're not going to win the game in a series. We've just got to take it play by play."
Perhaps the game's biggest play came in the first overtime. With USC facing fourth-and-goal from the 15-yard line, Shaw found junior receiver Bruce Ellington in the right corner of the end zone for a game-saving touchdown.
"It was called for me to get open," Ellington said, "and Connor made a great throw."
Ellington finished with 10 catches for 136 yards and two touchdowns, his first putting USC on the board early in the fourth quarter. He was one of many stars, including the tailback that began the game as USC's goat.
Davis recovered from his two first-half fumbles, finishing with 51 rushing yards on 19 carries. More important, he had a career-high 10 catches for 99 yards. His 15-yard reception off a third-down screen pass put USC on Missouri's 1-yard line, setting up its touchdown to force overtime.
"We yelled at him a little bit, but the kid's the leading rusher in the conference," Spurrier said. "We're not going to yell at him too much. We got him back in there."
The victory pulled USC within one game of Missouri in the SEC East standings. The Gamecocks own the head-to-head tiebreaker over Missouri. The Tigers still have games at Ole Miss and home against Texas A&M this season.
"It's great to be down 17 in the fourth quarter, and to come together as a group – as a family – and just get a win," Ellington said. "It's the SEC, and we had to win this game. We're just coming together and fighting for each other."

In New York State, health care spending has steadily increased over the past 25 years, and is expected to continue increasing through 2020; this spending growth has translated directly to increases in health insurance premiums that can make health care unaffordable for consumers and adversely affect wages, employment, and economic growth. As policymakers work to ensure that the health care market functions in a way that maintains access to health care for New Yorkers and supports a competitive market for the industry, they may benefit from a better understanding of the various factors that influence these health care costs. To help inform policymakers and other stakeholders in New York, this study offers an in-depth examination of hospital contracting practices, reimbursement methodologies, and hospital prices in New York. Using information collected from private commercial health insurers and other sources, the study sheds light on how prices vary across hospitals and highlights certain practices that can inhibit healthy market competition. The report also suggests approaches to addressing some of these market dysfunctions. As the first study of its kind in New York, it introduces a range of opportunities for assisting policymakers and other stakeholders in understanding health care costs and developing strategies to slow cost growth.

Hot pursuit of armed fugitive in hockey mask locks down Keene State campus for 5 hours
By Meghan Pierce
Union Leader Correspondent
Man arrested following incident that put Keene State on lockdown
KEENE – The search for a man with a handgun fleeing from a Winchester Street home lead to a five hour lock down of Keene State College campus early Saturday morning.
Police responded around 1:06 a.m. to 85 Winchester Street for a report of criminal threatening.
The reported altercation inside the home involved a man displaying a black handgun, police said Saturday morning.
The suspect then fled on foot onto Keene State College Campus.
The man is described as white, blond hair, wearing blue jeans, no shirt. He also was wearing a Boston Bruins 'Old style goaltenders mask.'
Police notified Campus Safety and the campus immediately went into lockdown mode, which also called for a safety alert sent out via cell phones and email to the student body.
Police said a second incident occurred on campus just a few minutes after the first altercation but the incident was not reported to the police for approximately two hours.
According to the report, a Keene State student was walking with friends between the college student center and dining hall when the suspect approached the group of people "drew the pistol and demanded the student's sweatshirt. Once the suspect retrieved the sweatshirt, he then fled on foot further onto campus," police said.
No one was injured during either incidents.
A Keene PD K-9 attempted a track the suspect and then conducted an area search of the college campus failed.
Several police officers were assigned to stay on campus for the remainder of the night.
The campus remained in lockdown for five hours until it was lifted at 5:30 a.m.
Campus Safety plans to have heightened levels of patrols until further notice.
New Hampshire State Police, Swanzey and Chesterfield Police Departments assisted Keene police Saturday morning.
The case remains under investigation. Keene police are asking anyone with information to call them at 603-357-9813 and ask for Det. Michael O'Donnell or Officer Kyle Macie.
The public also can anonymously contact police via email on the police website:

Fall 2010 Issue
When in RomeDr. Alan Mason addresses students in his 'Listening to Music' class.
Dr. Alan Mason, associate professor of music, has the extraordinary honor of being invited to perform at the Vatican for a special concert on November 16. Mason is one of only two accompanists who will play at the concert of Jewish music, which also features 20 cantors from North America. Mason and the cantors will perform before Pope Benedict XVI and other Vatican leaders.
"This is a rare opportunity for the finest of sacred Jewish music to be heard by an audience who might never have this chance in their lifetimes. Jewish prayer is sung, shared through melody, and there is no better vehicle than music to bring people of diverse cultures together."
The concert, which is part of the American Conference of Cantors, will be filmed and included as part of a documentary titled "Across the Holy Lands." It is being held at the Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri. The conference itself focuses on Catholic-Jewish relations.
A gifted musician, Mason has been teaching piano, music history and accompanying the choir at Barry since 1996. His performance at the Vatican is only the latest invitation he has received to perform before a world leader. In 2007, Mason was invited to perform at the White House for President George W. Bush.

Apache Ignite Native Persistence
Ignite native persistence is a distributed ACID and SQL-compliant disk store that transparently integrates with Ignite's durable memory. Ignite persistence is optional and can be turned on and off. When turned off Ignite becomes a pure in-memory store.
With the native persistence enabled, Ignite always stores a superset of data on disk, and as much as it can in RAM based on the capacity of the latter. For example, if there are 100 entries and RAM has the capacity to store only 20, then all 100 will be stored on disk and only 20 will be cached in RAM for better performance.
Also, it is worth mentioning that as with a pure in-memory use case, when the persistence is turned on, every individual cluster node persists only a subset of the data, only including partitions for which the node is either primary or backup. Collectively, the whole cluster contains the full data set.
The native persistence has the following characteristics making it different from 3rd party databases that can be used as an alternative persistence layer in Ignite:
To enable the native persistence, pass an instance of to a cluster node configuration:
When persistence is enabled, data and indexes are stored both in memory and on disk across all the cluster nodes. The picture below depicts the structure of Ignite persistence at the file system level of an individual cluster node:
Ignite allows enabling persistence per concrete data region and, thus, per cache. Refer to

It's not just that how we work is changing, it's that where we work is changing too. The environment around us is shifting – towards open offices, huddle rooms, and team work spaces – in fact, in three years, half the global workforce will be mobile. It's an exciting time to be in the devices business, because the creation of new form factors and software experiences will not only lead us to work in new ways, but also in new spaces designed for collaboration.in fact, in three years, half the global workforce will be mobile.
There is a need for a device built for teams and designed for these new environments. To help people collaborate whether they are in the office, at home, or travelling the world. To move beyond just passing along information, to a world where they are collaborating real-time, in an efficient, and intuitive way.
Surface Hub 2 was designed from the ground up to be used by teams – to get people out of their seats, to connect and ideate, regardless of location. The new Surface Hub 2 is sleeker, more agile and more affordable to fit any workspace or work style. The gorgeous 4K+ 50.5" multi-touch display creates an inviting canvas to co-create, harnessing the power of Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Whiteboard, Office 365, Windows 10 and the intelligent cloud. The 4K cameras that rotate with the device, integrated speakers and far field mic arrays allow everyone in the meeting to feel as if they are right in the room with the rest of the group, while our standard Surface 3×2 aspect ratio means everyone has more usable space to create and collaborate.
Many conditions, stable or acute, can be treated in different ways, including PCI or surgical revascularization. The advances in technology imply that most coronary lesions are technically amenable to PCI; however, technical feasibility is only one element of the decision-making process, which should incorporate clinical presentation, severity of angina, extent of ischaemia, response to medical therapy, and extent of anatomical disease by angiography. Both revascularization methods carry procedure-related risks that are different to some extent in nature, rate, and time domain. Thus patients and physicians need to 'balance short-term convenience of the less invasive PCI procedure against the durability of the more invasive surgical approach' [ 1 ].
Formulation of the best possible revascularization approach, taking into consideration the social and cultural context also, will often require interaction between cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, referring physicians or other specialists as desirable. Patients need help in taking informed decisions about their treatment, and the most valuable advice will likely be provided to them by the Heart Team. Recognizing the importance of the interaction between (interventional) cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, the leadership of both the ESC and EACTS has given this Joint Task Force, their respective Guideline Committee, and the reviewers of this document the mission to draft balanced, patient-centred, evidence-driven practice guidelines on myocardial revascularization.
Myocardial revascularization is appropriate when the expected benefits, in terms of survival or health outcomes (symptoms, functional status, and/or quality of life), exceed the expected negative consequences of the procedure. Therefore, risk assessment is an important aspect of contemporary clinical practice, being of value to clinicians and patients. Over the long term, it allows quality control and the assessment of health economics, while also serving as a means for individual operators, institutions and regulatory bodies to assess and compare performance. Numerous different models have been developed for risk stratification, and those in current clinical use are summarized in Table 3 . Comparative analyses of these models are limited because available studies have largely evaluated individual risk models in different patient populations with different outcome measures reported at various time points. These limitations restrict the ability to recommend one specific risk model; however:
Recommended risk stratification scores to be used in candidates for percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting
Recommended risk stratification scores to be used in candidates for percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting
The EuroSCORE validated to predict surgical mortality was recently shown to be an independent predictor of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in studies with both percutaneous and surgical treatment arms [ 2 , 3 ]. Therefore, it can be used to determine the risk of revascularization irrespective of, and even before, the selection of treatment strategy. It has little role, however, in determining optimal treatment.

These alternative forms of exercise benefit the running wounded and healthy runners alike.
There's no worse feeling in the world than being unable to train due to injury, especially when you've been told by a medical professional to simply "stop running" until the injury heals. However, taking total rest is one of the worst things you can do when trying to rehabilitate an injury. If you can't run and you've got your sites set on speeding up the recovery process and staying fit until you're back on your feet again, then it's best to stop sulking and get your banged-up body moving again as soon as possible.
Let's take a look at three of the most effective cross-training options for runners looking to maintain fitness while overcoming an injury, or better yet, to avoid injury altogether.

Awesome polish find this weekend. Anyone who knows me knows that I love me some Old Navy. My boyfriend accompanied me this weekend and I got a pair of fleece gloves (yay!) some flannel pajama pants with reindeer on them (yay!) and an awesome polish (YAY!). I think their polishes are normally $3.50, but with all the sales going on mine was something like $2.45. Their polish brand is called Tip Toe, which is absolutely adorable. I guess they're a little bigger than minis, at .45 fl oz. The cap itself is really small, which could get annoying, and the brush on mine was really mop-like. I only chose one polish, an olive-ish, brass-ish, shimmer called Gold Rush. When I actually looked at the bottle in the sunlight I realized that it's a duochrome. It looks purple at some angles. Let's look at some pictures, shall we?
Bottle. I think I used flash. It was the easiest way to display the duochrome.
After one coat of polish. Lookin' good...
Another bottle shot. The neck looks really purple.
By a natural light source after three coats of polish, one coat Seche Vite.
And sun.
Pretty good for like $2.50, right? The application wasn't a problem even though the brush was moppy. I think this is pretty unique, overall. Even when you can't see the duochrome it's still beautiful. I think it would look impossibly cool matte, but I want to wear it sparkly for a day or two. What do you guys think? I have such a thing for olive-colored polishes, which is funny because I'm not crazy about green like most polish fanatics seem to be. Wagon Trail, L'Oreal Dry Martini and OPI At Your Quebec and Call are among my favorite polishes, and I think Gold Rush might be joining that group.
Also, a note on OPI Dazzled By Gold, the polish I raved about in my previous post: awesome. It wore like iron. No tip wear, no chips, nothing. I took it off this morning only because I was so anxious to put on Gold Rush. I think I'll be wearing it often. Even my mom said she likes it!
Okay, I couldn't help myself. I put a coat of Matte About You over Gold Rush.
Reminds me of antique brass. Gorgeous.

The UCL Portering Service is able to carry out light removals and deliveries, small scale office moves and the setting up of rooms for functions and events. It is not able to undertake the movement of personal possessions.
To assist you and to help us deliver the services you need we have provided answers to a few Frequently Asked Questions that we hope you will find useful.
How do I request a portering job?
Requests for portering services should be made to the Customer
Services Centre using the Service Request Form available on the UCL Estates website.
When requesting assistance, it would be helpful if you could provide the following information:
If the items are particularly heavy or the job involves a large amount to be moved i.e. you cannot lift them yourself, please make this clear in your request. Where there are fixtures to be dismantled, please arrange this with the maintenance team prior to your move date through the Service Request Form.
When is the service available?
The normal service is available at the Bloomsbury Campus from 0800 - 1600, Monday - Friday. Support at other times and to other UCL sites may be possible but is subject to workloads and availability of resources.
Do I have to pay for any of this service?
Although there is no charge to Departments for the majority of work needed, where a job is particularly large or complex or requires the use of additional resources including personnel, equipment or vehicles, the additional costs incurred will be recharged to the client Department; alternatively, you may deal direct with UCL's moves contractor.
Damage to UCL equipment or property, caused during an event, will be recharged to the event organisers. Please note poster boards should not be placed outside and sign stands should not be left in the open overnight.
How long will it take for the job to be done?
If you are able to provide us with at least 4 working days notice of your requirement, we would normally be able to complete your request by the date you require. Inevitably there will be times when a conflict of priorities arises or an emergency requires us to make an unscheduled response elsewhere but in such cases we will endeavour to reschedule your work to minimise disruption and inconvenience.
Please note that there are particular times in the Academic Year including the exams period, when the portering teams are tasked to support a number of large UCL events and at these times service requests may take longer to complete. Should this happen, you will be contacted by a member of the UCL Estates team to try and arrange a suitable alternative time.
Given the varying types of request and the different nature of the UCL Estate, where a job may be particularly complicated or there are access issues, then a team leader may visit the area to perform a risk assessment prior to the moves taking place. Please bear this in mind when requesting a specific completion date. This may also result in the use of external resources
I am using centrally bookable meeting space. Do I also need to make a separate request for portering assistance to set-up the Room?
When you make your room booking, any furniture set-up requested will automatically be passed to the Portering Team where four working days notice has been provided.
I am part of UCL and am holding an event at a non-College site. Can I request and use UCL furniture?
The furniture provided in centrally bookable areas on the Bloomsbury Campus is provided for use specifically in those particular areas and is not normally available to be taken off-site. Where furniture or equipment is required to support an off-site event, this should be arranged through the external venue, or directly with one of the approved suppliers. Similarly, if you using a UCL area and have borrowed or collected items from other Departments, please remember to make arrangements for them to be returned.
How can I get items moved which are valuable or delicate?
It is recommended that Departments use specialist providers to undertake the packing and moving of items such as historic artefacts, art works etc; please seek advice from UCL's specialist contractor, HRH Transport Ltd.
How do I arrange to move laboratory equipment?
For specialist laboratory moves, please seek advice from UCL's specialist contractor, HRH Transport Ltd.
How do I dispose of any waste materials?
Any waste materials can be disposed of separately through the Facilities Waste Disposal Service. Please use the Service Request Form to request this particular service, listing the items to be removed.

If you have additional questions and concerns that are not covered here, please contact the Customer Services Centre on 020 7679 0000 or 30000.
