Beats CEO Jimmy Iovine Pitched Steve Jobs on Subscription Music Service
In a new interview with AllThingsD, Beats Electronics CEO Jimmy Iovine reveals that he is preparing a subscription music service. Although he isn't revealing details yet, he does say that he started pitching the service to Steve Jobs in 2003. Quote:
Beats and Apple do have a fairly close relationship already, as Apple retail stores tend to use Beats by Dre headphones to demo iPods and other devices. Article Link: Beats CEO Jimmy Iovine Pitched Steve Jobs on Subscription Music Service |

That would make the service completely useless for me and so many people. I just want to stream all iTunes store's music for a monthly fee. Can it really be so hard? Especially because Apple doesn't see iTunes as a significant revenue source, it is meant to drive sales of hardware, so they do not need high profit margins on such a venture. And before you say "that's un-Apple-like" remember that the iTunes store only just broke even for its first few years - its only now that it has huge revenues. So the streaming service can start the same way, break even, and then as profitability increases, it can make more of a profit without raising fees

To Jimmy and Doug.
Remember in 1999 when you signed my band because we were the biggest thing online? Remember when you asked me what the future of the music business would be and I said 99 cent singles? Remember how you both told me that (as well as subscription) services would never happen in your lifetime? Glad to see you woke up during your lifetime. It's too late now to implement your ideas in a way that would be as profitable as they would have been a decade ago. Good Luck! Ron |

I don't like subscription services, period. I don't need another service for which I pay a monthly fee whether I use it or not.
That is why I like the original itunes models. You like a song, and you buy it, No further obligations. On the other hand, if I were running a business, a subscription service would be great. Nothing like a steady stream of revenue. But IMHO, as a consumer you get screwed unless you are an addict that listens 24/7. |

"Recently, music streaming services like rdio, Pandora and Spotify have become increasingly popular and Apple is rumored to be working on a Pandora-like "iRadio" streaming service."
I read this a lot. But nobody gave any details. Exactly, what is the user base and revenue of rdio, Pandora and Spotify? How do they compare to the iTunes Store (members with credit card on file, sales, revenue, profits)? How much do musicians and composers get per song/album? I personally prefer to buy albums/songs (my purchases are approx. 95% complete albums, the remaining 5% are mainly one-hit acts, ancient hits or simply funny/ridiculous stuff) and give the performers, lyrics writers and composers what they deserve. A great song (or instrumental piece) for 99 cents will be stuck in my brain forever, a $5 coffee in a paper cup turns into piss within a day. |

For a while I was all on board with the "own your music" idea. I bought hundreds of dollars worth of music on iTunes.
But then I tried subscription. A few bucks a month and I'd listen to whatever I wanted to, whenever I wanted to. Streaming on-demand. I could sample whole albums and find new music. Or maybe I want to quickly pull up a song that I don't have in iTunes, instead of having to go through the process of purchasing it. In additon, it meant not having to take up precious space on my iPhone for songs. You may say, "But you can stream with iTunes Match!" Yes, and I have tried it. In addition to its slow, spotty reliability, it's pointless next to Rdio, Spotify or others. Why stream my limited iTunes library via iTunes Match when I could go subscription and stream literally whatever song I want, instantly? I probably haven't bought a song from iTunes in a couple years. I really want to see Apple give people the option for subscription. I'd jump on it in a heartbeat.

Its pretty easy to look in the rear view mirror and see what WAS possible. The reality is that Apple was a failing company in 2002. SJ placed a massive bet on the iPod and totally did the right thing at the time for a somewhat desperate cash stepped company in need of a fresh direction.
To even try and equate this story as some sort of SJ failure is absurd I mean streaming service to what, in 2002/2003?? There wasn't anything to street to! Its now TC's chance to look forward. Does he have the vision? I guess we'll have to wait for another decade to find out |

You may become less important over time after your death, but it sure isn't an instantaneous thing. Steve Jobs is certainly still important today, despite the fact his body failed him (or he failed it,) over a year ago.

The Final Say
Reducing costs with an integrated automation system
By Greg Dixson
Most of us in the automation industry have recovered from the economic crisis of the last few years, but many factories have not yet hired new personnel to meet the growing demands. Efficiency matters more than ever, and plant managers are seeking ways to streamline their manufacturing processes.
Thanks to lower cost control systems and advances in software, I/O, and Ethernet infrastructure, control engineers can better use industrial automation for its core purpose—to increase production flexibility and reduce the cost of ownership in a manufacturing or process facility.
The programmable controller is the heart of a control system. Whether it is a simple nano programmable logic controller (PLC) or a full-scale industrial PC, today's control platforms are much more affordable than similar models were just a few years ago. It is also easier than ever to closely match the control platform's processing performance to the machine's requirements. There is no need to purchase more controller capability than the system requires.
In the past, smaller machines were a particular problem. It was difficult to find a cost-effective controller with built-in Ethernet connectivity. However, inexpensive nano class PLCs can now control small to midsize machines with few I/O points.
High-end PC control systems are at the other end of the spectrum. Plant managers require easy-to-program software with fast and comprehensive debugging and seamless integration into a human machine interface (HMI) package. The PC also needs to support common Ethernet networks, including Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, or Profinet.
In an ideal world, a single vendor can supply a turnkey hardware/software solution. Benefits of a "one-stop-shop" include faster programming and machine start-up, a simpler machine design, less troubleshooting, and a reduced risk of downtime and lost production. Realistically, though, a single-vendor solution is not always possible, especially in a larger, more complex automation system.
Thanks to standardization of fieldbus protocols, it is now possible to "mix and match" fieldbus products from different vendors within a machine or system. In addition, the automation industry has standardized on Ethernet as the physical layer for reading and writing data to devices.
This increasing standardization has simplified life; no matter what communication protocols the system uses, the base I/O structure stays the same.
Rather than redesigning an entire system, the designer can adapt a modular I/O structure as needed. A modular I/O system with a wide variety of analog, digital, or special function inputs and outputs, as well as options for IP20 and IP67 locations, will provide the most flexibility.
While commercial-grade Ethernet components might cost less initially, they cannot withstand the extreme conditions typical on the plant floor and in the field. Choosing industrial-grade Ethernet switches, Power over Ethernet, and wireless products will save money in the long run.
For small, isolated networks, unmanaged switches are the more cost-effective choice. They require no configuration and transmit the required data to the intended receiving port.
More complex networks require a managed switch. With a managed switch, you can add network configuration capability, remote monitoring and diagnostics, and essential IT-compatible network redundancy.
Managed switches have IT-friendly features such as Simple Network Management Protocol and web-based management via a standard web browser. If the application needs fast, self-healing connections between the corporate network and the factory floor, look for a managed switch with higher level functions such as Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol or Fast Ring high-speed redundancy, IGMP Snooping and Query, VLAN, and port security.
In recent years, wireless technology has become more reliable and secure, making it an attractive option in cases where physical cabling is cost-prohibitive or even impossible. In many cases, wireless can even rescue stranded data that was previously inaccessible.
By integrating modern controllers with innovations in software, Ethernet infrastructure, and I/O, control engineers can build a more flexible, powerful, and affordable automation system.

The U.S. has fine-tuned its methods to promote responsible use of space and strengthen international partnerships, Ambassador Gregory L. Schulte, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for space policy, said during the 2012 Women in Aerospace Conference June 1. In his keynote address at the conference, Schulte outlined the plan to protect U.S. advantages and sustainability in space as directed by the National Security Strategy for Space issued by Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta and national intelligence officials.
"Space is no longer a pristine environment," Schulte (pictured) said. "We have to think differently about how we cooperate with others in space." Schulte explained that burgeoning interest in space by a number of nations is both an asset and a liability. "Allied capabilities can augment ours, add resilience and increase our ability to operate in a contested space environment when adversaries may be trying to take away our space capabilities," he said. "As there are more and more actors in space, it becomes more important that we bring a certain amount of order to that domain, that we encourage countries to act responsibly." As such, Schulte said, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and U.S. Strategic Command, based at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., have weighed in this year to take deliberate steps in negotiating space situational awareness agreements with countries across the globe. The discussions have united the "European Union and other space-faring countries to develop an international voluntary code of conduct meant to encourage countries to act responsibly and call out those who act irresponsibly," Schulte said. The norms, Schulte asserts, aim to help U.S. and coalition countries share information on an emergency basis, encourage best practices to buffer the uptick of mishaps and control the creation of additional debris in space. "(STRATCOM) tracks over 20,000 pieces of debris -- and that's just what they can see," Schulte said. "NASA estimates there are probably hundreds of thousands of pieces of debris up there." Harnessing international partnerships also includes a plan to expand the Joint Space Operations Center at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., into a coalition asset by integrating Canada's first operational military space-based telescope system, Sapphire. A larger constellation of satellites supplied by international partner nations provides greater coverage and bandwidth, Schulte said, and also creates an international space alliance that can act as a deterrent to threats against the U.S. and its allies.

Recipe by Sarah
"This is a recipe for people who like banana bread and muffins. These are great breakfast muffins! You may substitute coconut for some or all of the walnuts if you wish."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
I tried this recipe as is and found it a tad too sweet, and a bit bland as far as flavour goes. It was very moist however so I tried again, using 3/4 cup of sugar instead. I also added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and a pinch of cinnamon. They came out perfect! Yummy:)
These are not bad but not great. My kids loved them. I still prefer to make a banana bread loaf and with the few more ingredients in it: it's worth the extra effort

Excellent!!! Even my husband who is not a banana muffin eater love them!!!! I did shorten the cooking time to 25 minutes. One tip...Freeze old bananas. Just peel and put in a zip lock bag for future use. Thanks! Karen
Really delicious banana bread in muffin form. Just a tad too sweet--maybe I'll use less sugar next time--but very tasty. I'll probably make this more than once.
This is an absolute delicious recipe. Very, very easy to make. I put a few nuts on top before baking for added presentation. I baked mines in a regular muffin pan (not the nonstick) and it only took 20 minutes. I will make this many more times! Thanks for such a great recipe!--sk
Great recipe. I cut down the sugar to 1/2 cup and they turned out perfectly. Better than banana bread.
These muffins were pretty good. Instead of adding 1 cup of sugar, I used 1/2 a cup and it was still good
I used whole wheat flour, added a tsp. of baking powder and a tsp. vanilla, and cut the sugar in half. I substituted half homemade organic applesauce for half the oil. We don't like walnuts so I used pecans. I think because I used whole wheat flour it was a little dry, so I had to add a half cup of buttermilk. I got twelve big muffins out of this recipe. This was a quick and simple recipe, which I appreciated at five am this morning.

One of the most infamous days in the NFL calendar year is dubbed "Black Monday," the day following the end of the regular season when multiple coaches are annually fired.
The Cleveland Browns got a jump on the action by firing Rob Chudzinski on Sunday night following just one season. Not long after business hours began on the East Coast, the Minnesota Vikings' Leslie Frazier, the Washington Redskins' Mike Shanahan, the Detroit Lions' Jim Schwartz and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Greg Schiano joined the unemployement line.
The status of Joe Philbin with the Miami Dolphins and Mike Munchak with the Tennessee Titans remains up in the air.
The Sports Xchange tracks all the breaking news in its Coaching Carousel.
Cleveland Browns: Rob Chudzinski was fired Sunday and the Browns will begin searching for the eighth coach in 16 years.
"We appreciate Chud's passion for the Browns, and we have great respect for him both personally and professionally," the team said in a statement late Sunday. "We needed to see progress with this football team. We needed to see development and improvement as the season evolved and, unfortunately, we took a concerning step backward in the second half of the year.
"Our fans deserve to see a consistently competitive team. We have high standards, and there's an urgency for success. When we believed we were not positioned to achieve significant progress in 2014, we knew we had to admit that a change was needed, and move forward.
"Browns fans are the most loyal and passionate supporters in the NFL. We're fully committed to bringing them the winning football team they deserve."
Multiple outlets reported Chudzinski was in dire straits before FOX's Jay Glazer said Sunday night that the coach demanded a Monday meeting with team decision-makers be moved up to Sunday night. Ninety minutes later, the team had made the move official.
Tampa Bay: Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano and general manager Mark Dominik were fired Monday.
The Buccaneers were 4-12, including an 0-8 start to the 2013 season and lost four of their last five, all by at least 10 points. In 2012, the Buccaneers lost five of their final six games, giving Schiano a 5-18 record since Nov. 25, 2012. He was 11-22 in two seasons.
Dominik was promoted to general manager in 2009, when Jon Gruden was fired and replaced by Raheem Morris. The team had a 28-52 record on Dominik's watch.
Schiano was hired as Morris' replacement and inherited first-round pick Josh Freeman as the starting quarterback. But Freeman's development came to a screeching halt under the disciplinarian and he was benched and ultimately released just two seasons removed from a 4,000-yard season.
Detroit Lions: Head coach Jim Schwartz was fired by the Detroit Lions after a 2013 season that saw the team go from a 6-3 start to losing six of the final seven games to finish 7-9.
Detroit led in the fourth quarter in all seven of those games, including the season-ending loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
A decision on the fate of general manager Martin Mayhew was made Sunday, and he was informed he was staying with the Lions.
Schwartz, 29-51 in five seasons, met with the team Monday and informed players he was fired. He is owed $12 million for the remainder of his contract.
Houston Texans: Penn State's Bill O'Brien emerged as the favorite to replace Gary Kubiak, but owner Bob McNair is moving forward with multiple interviews with other candidates this week, a source told The Sports Xchange on Saturday night.
In O'Brien's case, money is an issue. Although Penn State reduced his buyout from $19.33 million to about $6.48 million, the coach and the NFL team are seeking common ground on salary, according to the source, who added that a deal may be close.
John McClain of the Houston Chronicle first reported Saturday that interviews with other candidates are scheduled next week.
"The process continues," McNair told McClain. "We have other interviews scheduled next week. It isn't over."
The Texans have already interviewed former Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith and current interim head coach Wade Phillips. McNair said on Dec. 19 that the Texans were not interested in Shanahan, who worked as the boss of Rick Smith in Denver. Smith is the current general manager in Houston.
After ESPN reported that O'Brien was close to signing, he told his Penn State recruits that he was still on board there, which is what coaches in that situation always say.
Miami Dolphins: Owner Stephen Ross declined to give a show of support for Joe Philbin when asked about the head coach's job following the Dolphins' second consecutive loss to end the season and miss the playoffs.
"I'm making no comment on that," Ross said, per the Miami Herald. "We're going to look at everything."
In perhaps even more jeopardy is general manager Jeff Ireland.
"I'm going to look at everything," Ross said. "When you're disappointed you don't make decisions based on the fly. You have to give it a lot of thought and go look at everything."
Minnesota Vikings: Leslie Frazier was fired Monday. After leading the Vikings to the playoffs following the 2012 season, Frazier's contract was not extended beyond this season, during which Minnesota posted a 5-10-1 record.
General manager Rick Spielman said the inability to advance the team's young talent and develop a deep roster worked against Frazier.
New York Jets: Owner Woody Johnson said Rex Ryan will return for the 2014 season. The Jets finished 8-8 despite erratic play from rookie quarterback Geno Smith. Ryan will be entering the final year of his current contract, although the New York Daily News reported there is an understanding an extension will be worked out.
"We're going to keep Rex Ryan, and he's going to be our coach next year," Johnson said. "I couldn't be any prouder of this team."
Tennessee Titans: Head coach Mike Munchak said he would meet with team president Tommy Smith in the coming days.
"There's a lot of things we're going to talk about," Munchak said. "We would have liked to have been better this year. We have to figure out how we can get better and then go from there."
Smith declined to comment on Munchak's status following Sunday's game, according to The Tennessean.
Washington Redskins: Mike Shanahan was fired Monday after four seasons as head coach of the Washington Redskins.
Owner Daniel Snyder is in the market for a head coach for the eighth time since 2000.
"Redskins fans deserve a better result," Snyder said in a press release. "We thank Mike for his efforts on behalf of the Redskins. We will focus on what it takes to build a winning team, and my pledge to this organization and to this community is to continue to commit the resources and talent necessary to put this team back in the playoffs."
Shanahan, 24-40 as head coach in Washington, limped to the finish line with a 3-13 season and franchise-worst eight-game losing streak.

Italian Flash in a Gem-set Citrine Ring
Italy is known for its style sense of what is on the cusp of contemporary jewelry as well as having impeccable taste in design. Here a modern ring of 18k yellow gold offers evidence and support of both those statements. Created around a huge triangular fancy cut faceted citrine of a radiant honey amber color, this Italian beauty is in a class all of its own.
Embraced with thirty (30) round tsavorite garnets in a v-shaped configuration, the vibrant green gems compliment and intensify the warmth of the citrine. At the top one arm of the "V" actually extends beyond the front matrix and wraps around into the open lattice-like under gallery as the other is incorporated into one of the bands of the of the split shank.
The lower quarter of the matrix is boldly accented with a series of twenty-eight (28) round brilliant diamonds set in 18k yellow gold. As with the tsavorites, one end of the diamond row winds into the diamond-set bifurcated shank and the other shares a split shank with a series of eight (8) additional round brilliants for a total estimated diamond weight of .25 carats.
From ancient classic Roman architecture to edgy chic, Italian design reigns.
Measurements: 13/16 of an inch (2 cm) in length north to south on the hand by 3/4 of an inch (1.9 cm) at the widest and rises 5/16 of an inch (0.8 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 13.4 grams (8.6 dwt).
Ring Size: US 6-3/4 (UK M-1/2; Euro 17.25, 54.25 mm) and can be easily sized. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: "GADI"; 750 for 18k.
Condition: Mint.
Date & Origin: Modern and is Italian in origin.
Note: All diamond weights are approximate as the stones have not been removed in order to preserve the integrity of the setting.

I am happy to hear you are feeling better. I'm sure you know there are other ways to help control your cholesterol levels without statins. Just work closely with a medical professional you are comfortable with to find a better treatment option for you. If you don't think a doctor is taking you serious, go find another. There are plenty of choices of doctors with plenty of specialties. Thanks for sharing your story!
I think its more than 1% that experience muscle weakness and memory decline. Although the exact number is not known and a subject of debate. Some physicians report as many as 20% of their patients experiencing statin side effects from one degree to another.
Thanks for sharing.
All this is from statins as i am only 47 but started to feel like im 80 ,now i have come off the statins but taking a herb called policosanol with coq10 ,which should have been prescribed to me while i was on statins .
policosanol with coq10 has not had any side effects with i have been taking them 4 months and looking good
What does that tell us? There is no Internet or polling data for those who have had a positive experience with these drugs. We don't use data from sites like this when we compile data as there is no blind polling of statin users so results are overstated. The satisfaction rate would imply that users are more satisfied than the comments would be perceived.
We all need to look a little deeper.
But that only 22% experienced any side effects.
Wonder how it is possible for more people to have serious side effects than those that have any side effect.
iride, even away from internet poll sites, several physicians are commenting roughly 20% of their patients on statins are experiencing side effects.
At my Doctors office I asked the Nurse if the Doctor prescribes statins. Her reply? "If they can tolerate them."
However, by logic, anyone that reports a major side effect also has a side effect. Therefore those having major side effects can't be higher than those having all side effects.
My guess is that the terms are simply not defined nor is there any kind of checking in their data entry.
But end results are the same, the numbers are meaningless.
There will always be a difference between trial results and real world results.
In the end it comes down to the data in controlled long term trials and what your own experience is.

Manager had no way of knowing about allergens. He did his best employees had no clue about gluten allergies.
Have a dedicated fryer for the fries, order burger with no bun. Ask for a manager if you have questions other staff are under informed
2040 NASA Parkway, Houston, TX 77058
Fries are fried with other gluten peoducts. Staff cant get the GF bun correct. Very disappointed.
6759 Northwest Loop 410, San Antonio, TX 78238
Staff was completely ignorant of menu items and there was no allergen information available. The only thing they knew is they had GF hamburger buns. They were clueless about ingredients in anything else. I ordered a GF burger with sweet potato fries and the fries are battered in presumably flour. I even spoke to the manager and they knew nothing. Would not return if you have any allergies; only okay for casual GF eaters who want a GF hamburger bun and don't mind cross contamination or other gluten containing ingredients.
6759 Northwest Loop 410, San Antonio, TX 78238
Gf bun seemed fresh. I called ahead and the man I spoke with was very helpful and nice.
2290 Buckthorne Place, The Woodlands, TX 77380
Great gluten free bun. They cover it to avoid cross contamination, and prep the kitchen for it. The fries and burger were Fudrucker quality, and having ate there plenty of times in my youth, was very pleased with the taste.
8602 Bolts Ln, San Antonio, TX 78209
The bread they use for their buns is absolutely delicious!!!! Upcharge is a little pricey compared to red robin but the bun they use is so worth it!
10825 East 71st Street, Tulsa, OK 74133
Great service. Knowlegable staff. Great Burger! Just ask for a gluten free bun.
2290 Buckthorne Place, The Woodlands, TX 77380
They have gluten free buns! So, you can order ANY burger and ask for a gf bun!! Tasty too!
7250 Highway 6 North, Houston, TX 77095
Very good gluten free bun. Could not eat the fries but I was happy to have a burger :). Not sure about cross contamination but they were very aware of gluten free.
5501 Slide Road, Lubbock, TX 79414
I've always loved fuddruckers! The hamburgers and fries are to die for! And they are willing to accommodate and give you no bun and you can wrap it in lettuce!
11950 Kurland Drive, Houston, TX 77034
Gluten Free Buns, specific area for gluten free items, very helpful staff.
5601 Southwest Loop 820, Fort Worth, TX 76132
Finally a fast food burger place with gluten free buns!!! I feel like a normal human being eating here and enjoying a nice greasy cheeseburger. Honestly I have NO clue how they prepare the food in the back but I haven't gotten sick from eating their burgers. The only major downside is there is no separate fryer for the fries. You'd think a place with GF buns would have GF fries?
10680 Northwest 19th Street, Miami, FL 33126
There is not a gluten free menu, but the meats are seasoned with salt pepper and I didn't react to it. I ordered the buffalo burger without the bun and just added the salad from the salad bar. Staff is not aware of gluten allergy and so you are pretty much on your own. Need to ask and stay away from fried items. Meats are fine.
5500 Greenville Avenue #505, Dallas, TX 75206
Love the burgers - wish they had dedicated fryer for fries
4360 Kingwood Drive, Kingwood, TX 77339
they just got gf buns!!!! they have a special area for cooking.

Topic Contents
Topic Overview
What is pericarditis?
Pericarditis is swelling and irritation of the pericardium, which is the sac that surrounds your heart.
Pericarditis usually doesn't cause serious problems. Most people get better in 7 to 10 days. When there are problems, they may include:
- A buildup of fluid in the pericardial sac (pericardial effusion).
- Sudden pressure on the heart and sudden difficulty pumping enough blood (called cardiac tamponade). This can be caused by the weight and pressure of the fluid buildup if it happens quickly.
- Constrictive pericarditis, which can occur when pericarditis comes back or becomes a longer-term problem. The sac around the heart gets thick and stiff. This makes it harder for the heart to pump blood.
What causes pericarditis?
Many things can cause pericarditis, including:
- Viral infection. This is the most common cause.
- Heart attack.
- Chest injury.
- Recent heart surgery.
- Certain diseases, such as HIV, lupus, hypothyroidism, kidney disease, or tuberculosis.
- Medicine side effects, including cancer treatments.
In many cases the cause the is not known.
What are the symptoms?
The main symptom is a sharp pain in the center or left side of your chest. The pain may spread to the shoulder blade. For some people, this pain is dull instead of sharp. It may be worse when you lie down or take a deep breath.
The pain lasts for hours or days and doesn't get better when you rest. It's different from a type of chest pain called angina, which only lasts a short time and usually gets better with rest.
Other symptoms may include a mild fever, weakness, feeling very tired, coughing, hiccups, and muscle aches.
Pericarditis usually isn't dangerous, but your chest pain could be caused by something more serious, like a heart attack. And getting diagnosed and treated early can help keep pericarditis from leading to other problems. That's why you should call a doctor right away if you have any kind of sudden chest pain.
How is pericarditis diagnosed?
Your doctor will listen to your heart during a physical exam. He or she will also ask questions about your medical history, such as whether you've had a recent illness, radiation treatment for cancer, or tuberculosis.
Your doctor may want you to have some tests, including an electrocardiogram, a chest X-ray, and blood tests.
If the chest X-ray shows any fluid buildup, or if you have new or worse symptoms, such as shortness of breath, your doctor may want you to have a test called an echocardiogram.
How is it treated?
If there are no other problems, pericarditis usually goes away on its own in a few weeks. During this time:
- Try aspirin, ibuprofen, or another nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) to reduce pain. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe stronger medicine.
- Get plenty of rest. Avoid all strenuous activity that has not been approved by your doctor.
- Follow your doctor's advice about what problems to watch for, such as shortness of breath or other signs of complications.
Be sure to keep all follow-up appointments with your doctor. If you have complications or the illness gets worse, you may need further treatment. This could include medicines or a procedure to relieve the fluid and pressure around your heart (pericardiocentesis).

How to quickly see previews of links on the Web
If you spend a lot of time perusing sites like eBay or Craigslist, you know what a pain it is to open each individual link for a sale to take a look at the pictures and information. Whether you open the link in your current tab and press Back often, or are a multi-browser-tab master, there has to be a better way to do this, right? Google found a better way by incorporating previews into its search results, so why not use that same idea across the entire Web? That's where the ezLinkPreview extension for Chrome comes in handy. … Read more

More names have been added to a lawsuit over alleged targeting of political groups by the IRS.
Filing the lawsuit is 'True the Vote,' a self-proclaimed, non-partisan charity from Texas who says its mission is to observe and promote better compliance with election laws and procedures.
The lawsuit was originally filed in June and originally named four Cincinnati workers. True the Vote has now added IRS Chief Counsel William Wilkins and five other ranking officials, including Cincinnati workers Holly Paz and Cindy Thomas.
True the Vote claims IRS employees deliberately delayed the road to tax exempt status.

Nothing, it's what happens on this site unfortuntely.
This site is called Millionaire Match, not "Really Nice Guy Match." When you come here, you are not being 'deep'. (Yes, I this site has an alias, but the MM brand is the main one and you should know it by now.)
People are people - whether they are male or female. As such both genders are shallow. And I have not seen any evidence that women are less so.
Men want thin, pretty women.
Women want tall, wealthy men.
But before you get all upset on the men, it takes less than $50 grand to get plastic surgery that will make you both thin and pretty. But a guy with $50 grand can not make himsel tall, and isn't considered rich.
Life isn't fair. If it was, professional athletes and musicians would all be complaining about how they can't get laid.

A medley of organic vegetables gives this wholesome stew loads of nutrients and a hearty broth. Chipotle peppers and flavorful Mexican seasonings add spice, while whole green beans and chunks of corn and squash make for a pleasing, colorful presentation.
Summer green beans are here! Perhaps other beans, too, so substitute any of the three beans with what you can get on sale or from your garden...or the neighbors'.
Next time you have the grill warmed up, throw on some extra corn on the cob to make this easy summer side dish. It's a great complement to any outdoor party.
This gratin will convert those wary-of-green-vegetable eaters to greens lovers. A simple white sauce lightly coats Swiss chard leaves, and a topping of cheese and crisp breadcrumbs seals the deal.
This dish will soon be a family favorite for casual suppers in the late summer and early fall. Use shiitake mushrooms in place of the cremini mushrooms, if you like.
This Honduran staple, known as pan de coco, is like a plump dinner roll. It's delicious served alongside a meal of rice, beans and fried plantains. Or enjoy it with your morning cup of coffee.
A simple mixture of nuts, raisins and spices makes a delicious topping for Honeycrisp apples.
Inspired by the dish red-red from Ghana, this simple stew of tomatoes and black-eyed peas is traditionally served with fried plantains.
Canned salmon provides a flavor twist and an omega-3 boost to traditional Maryland crab cakes. Serve with lemon wedges, tartar sauce and plenty of grilled corn or veggies.
Mint and fresh lime juice are the surprise ingredients in this incredibly refreshing morning smoothie, made with mango and spinach.
These little frittatas, filled with mini shrimp, sautéed bell peppers and spicy Cajun seasoning, are terrific for brunch. Or top with finely chopped red cabbage for a Mardi Gras party!
Slightly crunchy and wildly addictive, this sesame-studded take on traditional chocolate chip cookies is nutty and rich. Make larger or smaller cookies to suit your needs.
Serve these crunchy cheese bites, topped with homemade spicy mango and pineapple jam, at parties or brunches.
Quick to put together, this weeknight supper of roasted fish, sweet bell peppers, crunchy cucumbers and fresh herbs is tossed with brown rice noodles and spicy Korean BBQ sauce. Use Whole Catch® Tuna or Swordfish in place of the cod.
Homemade Eggs Benedict is easily within your reach. An elegant composed salad crowned with a poached egg? No problem! You have scrambled, fried and sunny-side up down pat, so now's the time to round out your skills. Learn the no-fuss tricks for perfectly poached...
These sweet-and-spicy Indian-style turnovers make a terrific snack or starter. Made with prepared biscuit dough, they're extra quick to pull together. Try serving them with tamarind or mint chutney and extra diced mangoes.
Sweet and savory, these mangoes are perfectly pickled in a brine of cider vinegar, honey and mustard seeds. Layer them on sandwiches, serve alongside a cheese plate or enjoy as a snack.
Try this fresh, lightly sweet salsa as a topping for grilled or broiled fish, chicken or tofu. We recommend leaving the seeds in the jalapeño for more kick, but you can remove them before mincing the pepper for milder flavor.

text: Don't expect to see many robins eating at your bird feeder in spring (although they do like suet). They prefer a diet of worms, grasshoppers, termites, and grubs, and will be looking for them in lawns and leaf litter. In autumn and winter they like fruit and berries. In early spring, robins usually build their nests in evergreen trees. Later, they nest in deciduous trees. The females build the nests from mud and grass. The American robin was (mis)named by early English settlers, probably because it has the orange-breast of the robin of England. Although both are members of the thrush family (you can see the resemblance in the speckled-breasted youngsters), they're not closely related. In the wild, robins can live well into their teens-if they can avoid cats, their main predator.

When you have elevated homocysteine levels; sometimes when a close relative has MTHFR gene mutations or has developed CVD or thrombosis at an early age
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene oversees the production of the MTHFR enzyme. This enzyme changes one form of folate into another and is part of the process that converts homocysteine into methionine, an important building block for many proteins.
MTHFR testing detects two relatively common DNA sequence variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs) in the MTHFR gene, C677T and A1298C. These SNPs result in changes in the DNA (or mutations) and are associated with increased homocysteine levels in the blood, which may increase the risk of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD), thrombosis, and stroke. Approximately 10-12% of the North American population is homozygous for C677T. There is some ethnic variability in the frequency, with the highest being in those of Mediterranean ancestry and the lowest in those of African ancestry.
The C677T variant results in a less active form of the MTHFR enzyme. When a person has two copies of the MTHFR C677T gene mutation (homozygous) or one copy of MTHFR C677T and one copy of A1298C (compound heterozygous), decreased MTHFR enzyme activity slows down the homocysteine-to-methionine conversion process and can lead to a buildup of homocysteine in the blood.
The increase in homocysteine is often mild to moderate but will vary from person to person depending upon the amount MTHFR enzyme activity. Homocysteine buildup is worsened when the affected person is folate-deficient.
Results of some studies suggest that high levels of homocysteine in the blood may contribute to risk of CVD by damaging blood vessel walls and promoting formation of plaque (atherosclerosis) and inappropriate blood clots (thrombosis). However, a direct link between homocysteine levels and CVD or thrombotic risk has not been proven. For more on this, see the article on Homocysteine.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Adam Lanza Bullied at Sandy Hook Elementary School; Mom Considered Lawsuit
by Free Britney at .Adam Lanza's mother considered suing Sandy Hook Elementary School, according to a new report, due to the intense bullying her son endured there.
Nancy Lanza reportedly believed teachers at the Newtown, Conn., school turned a blind eye to beatings and taunts Adam suffered from his classmates.
A relative, speaking to the N.Y. Daily News, claimed that mass murderer Lanza was ridiculed and attacked by fellow students at his boyhood alma mater.
"Nancy felt fiercely protective of him," the relative said. "She was convinced the school wasn't doing enough to protect Adam. It made her irate."
She was gunned down by 20-year-old Adam Lanza on December 14, 2012. He then drove her car to Sandy Hook Elementary and killed 26 people.
Obviously a disturbed individual, Adam had been socially withdrawn for years. It's hard to pinpoint why or when it started, or if it could've been prevented.
Still, Nancy struggled with people bullying her son often, family members say, and even went to school in an effort to catch his classmates in the act.
"Adam would come home with bruises all over him," the relative said. "His mom would ask what was wrong, and he wouldn't say. He would just sit there.
"She was trying to get proof. She wanted to know where the bruises came from."
Nancy considered a lawsuit against the school, though it's not clear if she pursued that. What is clear is that this was a troubled youth from an early age.
Relatives said Adam Lanza never seemed emotionally right after his time in Sandy Hook. Nancy Lanza switched him to another school after sixth grade.
"He was a sick boy," the relative told the Daily News.
Mother and son shared a Newtown home where they were heavily armed with rifles, knives, Samurai swords, a 7-foot spear and 1,600 rounds of ammunition.
Investigators found a Sandy Hook report card inside the house, along with a holiday gift card from mother to son with a check for him to buy a new gun.
The tragedy has sparked nationwide gun control discussion, with Connecticut recently passing the nation's toughest laws; federally, the debate rages on.

I think the mom and son were both a little (or more) nuts. According to friends and relatives, Adam was never quite right. That his mom sent him to a mainstream school where he was abused and that she continued to send him there to be abused instead of pulling him out and sending him to an alternative school or getting him mental help doesn't seem like the acts of a mother with a good handle on things herself or like a mother who truly cared about her kid, like she kept sending him to that school to show others he was mentally or psychologically normal when he wasn't.
That's what I was trying to say. Adam's mother should have removed him from mainstream school and found him alternative schooling where he'd be safe, and hopefully happier. Instead, she just kept sending him to a place where he was being abused. How reasonable or rational is that!!!
When I read something like this; little wonder that anyone (let alone someone with Aspergers) would snap at some stage. Rather than focusing on gun debates; why don't we look at the inherent bullying that goes on in schools, & try to address this issue. We can't, as a society; shun, isolate & physically bully those that are a little bit different from the rest of us; without expecting fallout. I feel profoundly sad that this young man endured this sort of abuse in his very short life. It's just a tragedy all round.

In addition to outfitting aquatic adventurers with necessary equipment, Buffalo River Canoe and Kayak Outfitters sends groups of paddlers splashing downstream during guided explorations seven days a week. Headlining an assortment of trips, the Buffalo River Urban Trails tour unveils some of the city's historic waterfront sights, highlighted by industrial-area businesses and grain elevators that stand as towering links to an agrarian past or prophesies to an apocalyptic future where morsels of homogenized chicken byproduct no longer exist. The Outfitters' other point-to-point adventures—ranging from 2.5 to 6 miles apiece—also provide varying launch points, such as Red Jacket River Front Park and Seneca Bluffs.
An all-in-one recreation facility, Skateland Family Fun Center entertains families for hours with rounds of 18-hole outdoor mini golf, laps around the wooden roller rink, and futuristic laser-tag battles. Kids can challenge parents for a high score in the arcade or perfect their air-running form as they ricochet off the walls of giant bounce houses. Adults and kids frequent the rink for hockey leagues and skating lessons, as well.
Paintballs and BBs whiz through the air across Buffalo Battleground's 13,000-square-foot indoor area, where opponents snipe enemies from behind obstacles or engage them head-on with wide-open barrages. Although the action can get intense, the staff takes every precaution to keep guests safe. Before arming them with their choice of shotgun, pistol, or assault rifle, the staff outfits guests with full-face protection and limits the velocity of ammo to 351 feet-per-second.
Sail Buffalo Sailing School's nationally accredited instructors captain a fleet of boats, teaching novices the art of wind wrangling while fostering community for seasoned aqua explorers. During the two-hour picnic sail and lesson, a crew of up to four launch onto Lake Erie for hands-on wind lassoing. Instructors lecture on general ship-savvy and negotiating with 18th-century pirates, before coaching each student through a turn at the helm. As first-timers confront wind gusts, instructors keep the atmosphere relaxed and positive, helping students recover and learn from mistakes. Meanwhile, crewmates soak in secondhand sail know-how and build camaraderie while crunching through BYO picnic fare and determining the best way to build a secret underwater fort.
Enveloped in cool lake winds and showers of sunlight, Bait Master Charters' boats have sailed the waters of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario since 1992. Each of the company's two fishing boats boasts cabins, private bathrooms, and decks, along with professional downriggers, outriggers, planer boards, and dipsy divers. Onboard, experienced fishermen guide customers on private fishing charters, scouring Lake Erie for walleye or combing Lake Ontario for salmon, steelhead, brown trout, lake trout, and gold coins. Upon the trip's closure, the staff cleans and packages all catches so that customers can bring them home to cook.
The dedicated teaching professionals at Village Glen Tennis Club oversee a wide variety of programs for adults and juniors of all skill levels, earning the club recognition as a Top 50 Tennis Welcome Center of 2007 from the U.S. Tennis Association. This honor followed on the heels of a major renovation of the club's facilities in 2006 by a new management team, who modernized the six hard and eight clay courts and brought in new nets instead of pealing white picket fences. Today, players can take up the game through a series of classes that help them progress alongside players with similar abilities or hone specific strokes through drills designed to isolate and improve their technique. Players excited to show off a shiny new forehand or a pitch-perfect grunt can do so through the club's adult leagues or socials.
