There are 68 possible causes of chest pain
Viewing 1 - 10 of 68 results
What Is Chest Pain?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), chest pain is one of the most common reasons that people ages 15 and older visit the emergency room. In 2008, about nine percent of all ER visits were related to chest pain. (CDC, 2010)
Chest pain varies from person to person. It may feel like a sharp, stabbing pain or a dull ache. While chest pain may be a sign of a serious heart-related problem, it may also have other common, non–life-threatening causes.
What Causes Chest Pain?
When you have chest pain, your first thought may be that you are having a heart attack. While chest pain is a possible sign of a heart problem, many other, less serious conditions can also cause chest pain. Only about 13 percent of all ER visits for chest pain result in a diagnosis of a serious heart-related problem. (CDC, 2010)
Heart-Related Causes of Chest Pain
- heart attack
- angina—chest pain due to blockages in the blood vessels leading to your heart
- pericarditis—inflammation of the sac around the heart
- myocarditis—inflammation of the heart muscle
- cardiomyopathy—heart muscle disease
- aortic dissection—a rare condition involving rupture of the heart's main artery
Gastrointestinal Causes of Chest Pain
- acid reflux (heartburn)
- swallowing problems related to disorders of the esophagus
- gallstones or inflammation of the gallbladder or pancreas
Lung-Related Causes of Chest Pain
- pneumonia
- viral bronchitis
- pneumothorax—a leak of air from your lung into your chest
Muscle/Bone Causes of Chest Pain
- bruised or broken ribs
- sore muscles from exertion or chronic pain syndromes
- compression fracture, causing pressure on a nerve
Other Causes of Chest Pain
- shingles—an infection of the nerves and skin caused by the chicken pox virus
- panic attack – a sudden episode of intense fear when there is no real danger or cause
What Other Symptoms May Accompany Chest Pain?
Chest pain may be accompanied by other symptoms that will help with diagnosis.
Heart-Related Symptoms
While pain is the most common symptom of a heart problem, some people experience other symptoms, with or without accompanying chest pain. Women in particular have reported atypical symptoms that have later been diagnosed as a heart condition.
- pressure or tightness in the chest
- back, jaw, or arm pain
- fatigue
- feeling light-headed, dizzy, or short of breath
- abdominal pain or nausea
- pain after exertion
Other Symptoms
Symptoms that may indicate your chest pain is not heart-related include:
- sour or acidic taste in your mouth
- pain only after you swallow or eat, or difficulty swallowing
- pain that is better or worse depending on your body position
- pain that is worse when you breathe deeply or cough
- tenderness when you push on your chest
- pain accompanied by a rash
- fever, aches, chills, runny nose, or cough
- feelings of panic or anxiety
- hyperventilating
- back pain that radiates to the front of the chest
How Is Chest Pain Diagnosed?
If you think you may be having a heart attack, it's important that you seek emergency treatment immediately, especially if chest pain is new, unexplained, or lasts more than a few moments.
Your doctor will ask a number of questions to help diagnose the cause of your chest pain. Be prepared to discuss any related symptoms and to share information about any medications, treatments, or other medical conditions you may have.
Diagnostic Tests
Your doctor may order tests to help diagnose or eliminate heart-related problems as a cause of your chest pain. These may include:
- electrocardiogram, which records your heart's electrical activity
- blood tests, to measure enzyme levels
- chest X-ray, to examine heart, lungs, and blood vessels
- echocardiogram, which uses sound waves to record moving images of the heart
- computed tomography (CT) scan, to look for blockages in blood vessels
- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which looks for damage to the heart or aorta
- stress tests, to measure your heart function after exertion
- angiogram, to look for blockages in specific arteries
How Is Chest Pain Treated?
Chest pain might be treated with medication, noninvasive procedures, surgery, or a combination of all of the above.
Heart-Related Treatments
- medications, including nitroglycerin and other artery relaxers, clot-busting drugs, and blood thinners
- cardiac catheterization, using balloons and/or stents to open blocked arteries
- surgical repair of arteries
Other Treatments
- lung re-inflation, in case of a collapsed lung
- antacids or certain procedures for acid reflux and heartburn
- anti-anxiety medications for chest pain related to panic attacks
What Is the Outlook for Chest Pain?
Many common causes of chest pain can be easily treated and resolved. However, chest pain can also be a symptom of a life-threatening condition.
If you think you may be experiencing a heart attack or other heart problem, seeking medical treatment immediately can help save your heart muscle and your life. Once you have been diagnosed, your doctor can recommend additional treatments to help manage your condition.

Hello to all! I wanted to say thank you for the compliments on my photos. I am having some trouble viewing photos...even my own. When I click on the photo to enlarge it.. the connection to the site crashes. I have tried this several times today. Is anyone else having this problem? I am using Internet Explorer. Should I be using Firefox maybe??
Hi Kate,
Things seem to be OK this end on both internet explorer and firefox. What should happen when you click on the actual picture is that the next one appears. To view the large version of the pick there is a link underneath which says 'view full size'. WHat happens when you try either of these options Kate?
Also anyone else having problems?

I was pregnant with my thrird child after being told not to have any morePosted On Thursday, August 08, 2002 by Shana |
I was pregnant with my thrird child after being told not to have any more kids. My doctor said that it might happen, my preeclampsia would come back. With my past two pregnancies I was border-line. And lucky my other two weren't born early enough to cause any problems. I was in my 26th week of pregnancy when I discovered that my high blood pressure was back. I went to the hospital anbd the only thing that was wrong was my high blood pressure. No protein or headaches or blurred vision nothing. I was given medication and instructions to relax for three days and go back to the hospital for another check up. When I went back to the hospital I was told that I was now spilling protein in my urine and the medication did not help with the high blood pressure. I had numerous ultrasounds done to be sure my baby girl was still alive. Thank God that she was. I was admitted immediately. It was confirmed that my baby's lungs where not fully developed and the doctors where worried that she might not make it if she was born now. So, I was put on bed rest, in the hospital, for a week. I was given uncountless tests and I was put on a foley (catheter)and my urine was packed in ice to be tested every few hours. I was given lots of different medication to help lower my blood pressure. Few seemed to work very well. After 4 days of watching and waiting they decided to give my a steriod to help develope my daughters premature lungs in case I had to deliver. In a few more days my kidney function started to deteriorate. My kidneys where dying and so was I. I was so weak and out of it. I couldn't even stay awake for more than a few minutes before passing out again. On November 13, 2001, it was decided that I was to far gone to have a sudden turn around and the doctors had accomplished what they set out to do. They prepped me for an emergency c-section, and we gave our baby a name right before I was wheeled into the operating room, Kaitlyn Rose, my angel from God, and an hour later I had a 1 pound 14 ounce baby girl. I had never been so scared in my entire life. I could even see my baby right after she was born. I was so knocked out with drugs I couln't even stay awake. Plus, she needed immediate intubation and was sent straight to the NICU where she spent her first month and a half of life. She was on the respirator on and off for about 3 weeks. She neede surgery on her heart when she was only a two weeks old. Her first helicopter ride to Fresno. She pulled through like a champ though. She came back to Bakersfield 2 days after the surgery. From there it was a big roller coaster ride of emotions the whole time. Some good days and alot of bad days. After jaundice and lung disease and poor weight gain and feeding problems she was finally ready to come home. Kaitly was alittle over 6 pounds when she came home. Boy was that all difficult! Sometimes I wonder why it happen to me, why my baby, why my family? But sometimes you can't have control over everything. There was a reason why this had to happen. Preeclampsia is not fun and its not funny or something to take lightly. Its very serious and you can die from it. Just because you feel fine doesn't mean that everything is fine. Good prenatal care is absolute. There is nothing more sacred than the experience of giving life. Take care of yourself and you baby. |

As a contestant on the reality show Oprah's Big Give, Olusegun "Sheg" Aranmolate was one of 10 contestants who had the opportunity to travel the country, give back and change people's lives. The Peetes talk with Sheg, who was recently eliminated from the competition, about his lifelong commitment to charitable giving and what he would have done with the prize money had he won.
Growing up in Nigeria, Sheg says he witnessed extreme poverty firsthand, which made being a part of Oprah's Big Give especially meaningful. "I sort of felt like a superhero," he says. As a young boy, Sheg says his mother and father instilled in him the value of giving back to others, no matter what your position is in life. "The power of giving doesn't really have to do with how much money you have but how much you can personally connect to a person and change their lives," Sheg says. He says his father, a plastic surgeon who trained in the U.K., has always served as a role model to him. Sheg says he admired his father's decision to return to his native Nigeria to practice reconstructive surgery, even though he could have made more money practicing cosmetic surgery in the West. If he had gone on to win the $1 million prize, Sheg says he would have used the money to build a new facility for the Nigerian-based foundation he co-founded with his father, The Aranmolate Foundation for Deformed Children, and to encourage more grassroots involvement back at home. "I would take that money and use that to try and not only change the image of Nigerians and Africans but also try and empower more Africans to give," Sheg says. |

Don't Code for Linux
The days of developing applications for a single platform are history. Why? Because every platform offers at least one key benefit that cannot be attained on any other; Windows, Linux/UNIX, Mac OS X, embedded Linux and others each offer unique advantages. But given changing market conditions, it's impossible to predict which platform will give you the competitive edge you need.
Our anwser is: why pick? We feel that developers can and should leverage all the best qualities of each platform by embracing multiplatform development. This is true not only on the desktop, but also on the server, the network, mobile devices and every other tool that connects us. Our increasingly mobile working style demands portable data and portable applications to match today's distributed networks and global organizations.
Organizations that want to compete and survive must recognize a fragmented OS environment as a given, and they must respond by developing applications that run quickly, cleanly and natively on the greatest number of platforms possible. Applications written in this way take advantage of the best features each platform has to offer, without having to be written and rewritten for every instance. This process limits your company and represents a colossal waste of time. Forward-looking companies already recognize that single-platform development is destined to fail, and they have embraced a better way. Here's why we think this report on the death of single-platform development is not exaggerated.
If you wish to develop for more than one platform, thus expanding your target market, your costs rise dramatically. You need a full team to develop for each platform. Perhaps more importantly, you need a full team to maintain and support each platform. This represents a linear increase in cost for each platform—an extremely inefficient way to do business.
Developing applications for one platform increases your risk because you have to choose among markets before their potential is clear. Who's to say you'll be right? Software companies have been made or broken by this choice. In the recent past, people said Windows (with its momentum and market dominance) was the obvious choice—but wait! Linux has proven itself as a serious competitor in the server space and is picking up serious momentum on the desktop and in the embedded space. World-class consumer and enterprise companies are embracing its power, flexibility, security and low cost. So, what used to be an obvious platform decision isn't so obvious anymore. Do you know when (or where) this kind of rapid transformation will happen again? I don't.
Perhaps most importantly, if you limit development to a single desktop or server platform, you immediately restrict your access to the fastest-growing software market in the world: mobile systems. If, for example, you write an application for Microsoft Windows NT/2000, you automatically eliminate any cost-effective way to run your application on a mobile device, because you have to rewrite the source. Given that it's nearly essential to make applications mobile, developing applications on a single desktop/server platform can be a death sentence for that application even before it's finished.
The software industry has struggled for some time to develop commercially viable strategies for multiplatform development, and its history is littered with companies that have tried to do this, and failed. Why?
One difficulty has been a lack of complete functionality. Many toolkits deliver only subsets of functionality on multiple platforms, not the whole set. Another problem has been reliance on emulation or virtual machines. Both of these impose a significant and usually unacceptable performance penalty, especially for mobile devices that need high performance the most.
It's a well-recognized fact that differences between virtual machines lead to implementation workarounds and tweaks, as well as increased maintenance. This is another expense, and it makes the developers who have to do this work miserable.
Today, though, proven ways exist to write an application once, compile and run it anywhere. Companies who do multiplatform development create an environment in which development innovation will once again be the order of the day—not the exception.
Haavard Nord, cofounder and CEO of Trolltech, started his programming career trying to find acceptable multiplatform toolkits for database development. He now drives Trolltech's efforts in single-source, multiplatform software development. The company's products encourage innovation by letting developers write single-source applications that run natively on Windows, Linux, UNIX, Mac OS X and embedded Linux.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

The XML Schema type xsd:anyType is the root type for all XML Schema types. All of the primitives are derivatives of this type, as are all user defined complex types. As a result, elements defined as being of xsd:anyType can contain data in the form of any of the XML Schema primitives as well as any complex type defined in a schema document.
In Java the closest matching type is the Object

objects. Example 13.6 shows the mapping of Example 13.5 to a Java class.
Example 13.6. Java Representation of a Wild Card Element
public class WildStar { @XmlElement(required = true) protected String name; @XmlElement(required = true) protected Object ship; public String getName() { return name; } public void setName(String value) { this.name = value; } public Object getShip() { return ship; } public void setShip(Object value) { this.ship = value; } }
This mapping allows you to place any data into the property representing the wild card element. The Fuse Services Framework runtime handles the marshaling and unmarshaling of the data into usable Java representation.
When Fuse Services Framework marshals XML data into Java types, it attempts to marshal anyType elements into known
JAXB objects. To determine if it is possible to marshal an anyType element into a JAXB generated object, the runtime
inspects the element's xsi:type
attribute to determine the actual type used to construct the data in the
element. If the xsi:type
attribute is not present, the runtime attempts to identify the element's actual
data type by introspection. If the element's actual data type is determined to be one of the types known by the application's JAXB
context, the element is marshaled into a JAXB object of the proper type.
If the runtime cannot determine the actual data type of the element, or the actual data type of the element is not a known type,
the runtime marshals the content into a org.w3c.dom.Element
object. You will then need to work with the
element's content using the DOM APis.
An application's runtime usually knows about all of the types generated from the schema's included in its contract. This
includes the types defined in the contract's wsdl:types
element, any data types added to the
contract through inclusion, and any types added to the contract through importing other schema documents. You can also make the
runtime aware of additional types using the @XmlSeeAlso
annotation which is described in
Adding Classes to the Runtime Marshaller.
When Fuse Services Framework unmarshals Java types into XML data, it uses an internal map between Java data types and the XML Schema
constructs they represent to determine the XML structure to write to the wire. If the runtime knows the class and can map the class to
an XML Schema construct, it writes out the data and inserts an xsi:type
attribute to identify the type of
data the element contains. If the data is stored in a org.w3c.dom.Element
object, the runtime writes
the XML structure represented by the object but it does not include an xsi:type
If the runtime cannot map the Java object to a known XML Schema construct, it throws a marshaling exception. You can add
types to the runtime's map using the @XmlSeeAlso
annotation which is described in
Adding Classes to the Runtime Marshaller.

I am required to use a french version of autocad P&ID 2013 and need to rename the class name descriptions in the project manager.
I am able to do this manually for each item , but it is taking a long time.
Is there a file that I can edit to change these items instead of having to go to each class.
That I know of at the moment, there is no easy way for doing this besides individually. Similar if you want your equipment to come in a different color.
Unfortunately I cannot help with the renaming.
To change the color of all the equipment at once, you can try going to the projSymbolStyle drawing and changing the equipment layer color via the layer menu, this will affect anything on that particular layer in your project.
I have the same problem, is there a solution in 2013 version ?. Which is the easiest way to change the class name and the Graphic Style in a line thats already drawn ?

The KHL appears ready to dig in their heels over Jiri Hudler.
On Thursday, the Russian league officially registered Hudler's contract with HC Dynamo Moscow. The 25-year-old Czech Republic native signed a two-year, $10 million offer to play in the Kontinental Hockey League on July 8 after reportedly rejecting a five-year deal worth $3 million to remain with the Detroit Red Wings.
The NHL is contesting the contract and has approached both the IIHF and KHL seeking intervention.
According to the NHL, Hudler remains property of the Red Wings after the restricted free agent filed for arbitration earlier in the month. That hearing is scheduled for later in the day in Toronto.
The KHL stated that they registered the contract due to the absence of a transfer agreement between the KHL and NHL, as well as the absence of a valid contract for Hudler with any NHL club.
"This could and should and would be all resolved if there was a transfer agreement. As the KHL continues to prove to be a viable option for players by a competitive and financial standpoint, you can only expect there to be more situations, not less of players looking abroad," KHL spokesman Shawn McBride told The Canadian Press.
The Russian league also stated the move was necessary to confirm that they were ready to start negotiations with the NHL on the status of restricted free agents and on any other aspects of general agreement on transfers of players between the KHL and NHL.
"I think they're trying to justify what is clearly an interference with contract by raising non-analogous situations," deputy NHL commissioner Bill Daly told the Canadian Press.
Hudler enjoyed a breakout season with Detroit last year, setting career highs in goals with 23 and assists with 34. He also helped the Wings capture the Stanley Cup in 2008.
"My hope is that he goes to Russia and he wants to come back and he's a better player," General manager Ken Holland explained to The Canadian Press. "The cap maybe goes up a little bit and we're sitting at a real good situation."
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

"In December 2005, while working as a contractor in Iraq, the vehicle I was driving was hit with a roadside bomb. Both of my feet were severely wounded as a result.
"When my insurance company asked me where I wanted to go for medical care in the U.S., Duke was my first choice. It's excellent reputation was well known, and they did not disappoint.
"My experience with Duke ortho trauma was outstanding. Every single faculty member that I dealt with, from the nurses in my room to my surgeon, was absolutely professional.
"They were all very attentive and concerned about any questions that my family and I had. The surgeons always found time to visit with me.
"The people at the Duke ortho trauma center exemplify exactly what a hospital staff should be. I would definitely recommend Duke for all who find themselves in a similar situation."

One of our drafters has a realistic visual style, however the visual style shows an edgemode fore items directly underneath an other (as if x-rayed through) our drafter obviously doesn't want that. We've both switched a few things on and off but nothing seams to change it.
Dose anybody know how?
I have this very same issue. I desire to create quote drawings for structures using a Realistic+Black Edges visual style. Everything looks fine when I zoom in, but as I zoom out to create a view of a large 40' x 16' assembly, supposedly-occluded edges begin to bleed through relatively thin objects (0.250" & 0.040" thickness). I experience the same problem on two fairly different systems, detailed below:
System 1:
AutoCAD 2011
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (stock clock)
ATI FirePro v4800 (old drivers, latest drivers, & Autodesk recommended drivers)
System 2:
AutoCAD 2012
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500K (OC to 4.2GHz)
ATI Radeon HD 5870 2GB (latest drivers)
Both systems give identical results. I'm curious if anyone with an Nvidia GPU experiences this issue or if anyone has identified & corrected it. I used to use FLATSHOT to generate lines/arcs to output ISO views on my prints, but am trying to streamline my process so that model updates are directly reflected within my print layouts. Shaded w/ Edges is about the only way I'll be able to accomplish this...but the bleed through is quite confusing for my sales team & customers.
Thanks in advance!

cyanide146 weeks agoThe type is too plain, the concept is cute, but I think it shouldn't just be a picture of the tardis. Maybe a design or such in the background highlighting the tardis would be cool.
klarimore146 weeks agoI like the idea, but I wonder about maybe just using the TARDIS picture and the word "Sexy."
Arcana146 weeks agoOr you could either show the Tardis closer, so the front is more the focus, and stick a "My Name is" sticker on it, with the name Sexy. Or put the Tardis in a pair of shorts with the word Sexy on the back.
I'll be expecting a tee if any of these ideas get used. ;) -

FARGO, N.D. - Mom, how are you holding up? my 17-year-old son asked.
I'm feeling a little better, I replied. I was finishing a bowl of chicken soup my husband brought me.
A little while later, my 14-year-old daughter came into the sick room where I was parked on the couch.
Mom, do you need anything? she asked.
A cool washcloth would be good. I could use a blanket, too, because I'm cold, I replied. Even though I was miserable, I was enjoying this attention.
Mom, how are you doing? my 9-year-old daughter asked later that day.
I could use some pain reliever, I replied, and then I described where to find it. Soon she returned with a bottle of medication and a glass of water.
Don't drink from my cup. Trust me, you don't want to catch this bug, I said as she reached for my cup.
Oh, yeah, she said.
I had several people taking care of me, which I appreciated. Even our three dogs hopped up on the couch and checked on me, but that got a little crowded and too warm.
I'm sure that my kids found it odd that I was lying on the couch continually for 12 hours, but I barely could move. I had awakened dizzy, nauseated, feverish and generally achy.
I think I had caught the bug that some of my co-workers had survived. I didn't feel sick enough to go to a clinic and, fortunately, I felt much better the next day.
Cold and flu season will be upon us soon. I hope you will not find yourself planted on a couch or tucked in bed being sick.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people with the flu may have a fever (often with chills), cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, headache and fatigue. Children with the flu also might have vomiting and diarrhea.
For some people, especially adults 65 and older, pregnant women and children under the age of 5, getting the flu can be life-threatening. People with diabetes, kidney disorders, lung diseases, asthma and several other chronic diseases also are at high risk for serious consequences. Pneumonia, bronchitis and sinus or ear infections might follow a bout with the flu.
No one enjoys feeling under the weather, so what can you do to help prevent colds and the flu?
· According to CDC, step one is to have a flu vaccine every year.
· Be sure to wash your hands regularly. Lather up for at least 20 seconds. Consider using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer when a sink is not nearby. Germs easily spread when someone touches a contaminated surface, such as a door handle, and then touches his/her eyes or mouth.
· Stay home when you are sick to help prevent others from being exposed. Create a sick room in your house, and be sure to practice good hygiene and wash dishware/glasses with hot, soapy water. Be sure to cover your coughs with a tissue, and don't leave them in places where others have to pick them up.
· Stay well-nourished every day with a varied, nutritious diet.

The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In this life we get nothing save by effort.

The inside of Blue Ash Strength & Conditioning looks like a jungle gym for adults. Here, people hang from bars of different heights, jump up to gymnastics rings, or flip giant tires through the space. This is a typical CrossFit class, led by experienced trainers who change up the workout routine every day to ensure muscles don't plateau. Their exercises are designed to create well-rounded athletes, and everything that's done can be scaled to accommodate guests of all fitness levels. A typical day at Blue Ash can bring any number of unforeseen challenges, from running around outside to hurling medicine balls.
Squatting, lifting, and running are everyday occurrences for people going about their busy lives, but Calibrated CrossFit's trainers shed a new light on the functional movements. Their CrossFit classes weave high-intensity versions of the moves into daily-changing routines, which work the body differently every day to avoid fitness plateaus. Augmented by nutritional guidelines, the classes sculpt muscles quickly and efficiently.

No speaker
No native Mac support - Boot Camp & Emulation work
Twitter app, Facebook, PGRacing, AudioSurf not until NovemSummary: Remember back when your 56K dial-up ISP went from a very limited timed internet usage per month to unlimited all you can eat usage? Remember when your cellphone provider made your text messaging plan and voice calls to other people on the network unlimited for a flat rate? Unlimited access fundamentally changes the way you use devices and the amount of time and enjoyment you get out of them. Zune Pass does this for MP3 players allowing you to take any song you like. Hear a brand new song or a classic favorite on the Zune's FM radio that you really like? No reason to hesitate. Click the purchase button on the radio screen and next time you connect to the internet it will download the song to your Zune. Heck take the whole album while you're at it, Zune Pass is all you can eat. By the end of the month you can choose 10 songs to keep forever so you'll automatically own 120 songs by the end of the year. That is Zune Pass and it's wonderful as I've just described it but it gets even better...
The Zune 4.0 software, which is the best, fastest, and most eye-pleasing music/marketplace I've ever used now has a feature called "Smart DJ." This feature doesn't just create playlists for you out of your own collection of MP3's, if you choose it can pull songs off of the Zune marketplace that you don't own and suggests them to you based upon your song preferences. Now once you combine Zune Pass with this new feature you have something really special. Like an iTunes Genius on steroids you can start grabbing music you like off of Zune marketplace by the handfuls as you discover new artists and albums. And then there are the hundreds of premade "playlists" you can download from the Zune marketplace conveniently ranked in order of popularity. These playlists include things like the 100 most popular songs from any year in the last 30 years. Want the best songs from 1985? A couple of clicks and they're all on your Zune in a playlist. How about all the songs that won a Grammy this year or all the songs that were nominated for a VMA? They're all yours with Zune Pass. You can also subscribe to channels like the Billboard top 40 and have the top music in the country automatically synced to your Zune every week. You see people write off Zune Pass as little more than "renting music" when it's so much more than that. It's more like having a personal chef live in your home with a menu of hundreds of dishes he can instantly prepare for you. Having an MP3 player without a Zune Pass is like having an Xbox without Xbox Live. Zune Pass opens up a whole new experience with music like you've never had on an iPod or in iTunes.
And lets talk about the experience of using the new Zune 4.0 software for the PC. It's phenomenal. Whether you get a Zune HD or not, you must go to the Zune website right now and download this software. I guarantee you will fall in love with Zune 4.0 the instant you discover the artist view visualizer in the Now Playing section. When the Zune software starts pulling down the images of your favorite artists from the songs you are playing and displaying their bio info and data on how many people have played their songs on the Zune network you will start to fall in love. This is the future of album art and liner notes. The people who made this software truly love music as much as you do and they treat the experience of playing and discovering new music with reverence. The Zune software is super speedy, visually pleasing, and well integrated into Windows 7 with jump lists to your favorite artists, and a mini taskbar player that is perfect. Give the Zune software a try and you will probably never want to play your music in iTunes ever again. Even if you don't spring for the Zune Pass the ability to have the software dynamically create playlists out of the standard 30 second previews is nice. Hey maybe you just want to listen to a 30 second per song rundown of all the top songs on the billboard charts or play a playlist of the top 100 songs from 1991 without having to listen to each song in it's entirety; in that case Zune Pass not needed.
There are also a ton of community features built into Zune as well. If you have Xbox Live you will immediately be familiar with the Zune cards which show your friends and what songs and albums they've been listening to. You can send these people songs, check out what they listen to and download anything they've listened to if you have a Zune Pass. The Zune software automatically shows you all the people on your Xbox Live friends list and what they've been listening to on Zune.
There's so much more to say, I haven't even talked about video. The Marketplace lets you rent and purchase standard definition and high definition movies and TV shows. The Zune HD w/ it's proper 16:9 OLED display will display videos w/out letterboxing. In November Xbox 360 will connect to the Zune video store and anything you purchase on PC/Zune/360 will be free to download on all devices linked to your account.

Summary: Most scientists live in a ''publish or perish'' environment, but few would describe themselves as brilliant (or enthusiastic) writers. Coming to the aid of all those wishing to improve the quality of their scientific writing -- established researchers and aspiring students alike -- three experienced authors/scientists from differing backgrounds and cultures have compiled this classic guide.
This new edition has been completely revised to reflect dramatic changes in communication over the ...show morepast 15 years. The primary emphasis is on writing techniques, accurate expression, adherence to accepted standards, and above all clarity, but the authors also venture into communication technology and organizational as well as ethical aspects of science. Numerous appendices and a particularly comprehensive index complete this highly useful book.
''The authors have a passion, not only for clarity and economy of style, but also for precision and consistency.''
''A wealth of information contained in a single book of manageable proportions. Students reporting on a simple laboratory experiment and their teachers preparing a paper or lecture will both find this book a constant companion.''
(European Science Editing)
''The book under review claims, 'we know of no book as broad in its coverage, as critical in its analysis of existing trends, and as international in its scope'. This claim is immodest but accurate.''

Fresh fears over the global economy could unravel the benefit of cheaper oil prices and keep a lid on financial forecasts for the airline industry when its leaders gather in China this weekend for their annual summit.
An eight percent drop in oil prices this year has delivered a quick fix to an industry severely damaged by record fuel costs – but the main reasons for the drop, Europe's debt crisis and a slowdown in China's economy, cast a shadow over its recovery.
"The reduction in fuel prices is a great thing for the airline industry but they are coming down because of concerns over world economic activity," said Tony Tyler, director general of the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
"If the world enters an economic slump, that will be even worse for the industry than the higher fuel price was on its own," said Tyler as heads of most of the world's airlines flew into Beijing for a three-day annual meeting starting on Sunday.
IATA, whose 240 members account for 84 percent of world air traffic, is expected to leave its overall industry profit forecast broadly unchanged.
But a breakdown of the widely watched forecast is likely to reflect widening regional disparities as Europe's debt crisis shows no signs of abating and trade shifts to the Middle East.
Global airline industry profits halved in 2011 to USD$7.9 billion and are expected to halve again this year.
In March, IATA predicted global airlines would make a profit of USD$3 billion in 2012, based on an average Brent crude price of USD$115. The benchmark North Sea price is now below USD$100.
Tyler said the latest update would balance euro zone and oil price risks against the positive effect of robust traffic, which rose 7.1 percent in the first four months of the year. A recent slump in cargo markets has meanwhile bottomed out.
Airline traffic traditionally tracks the wider economy.
A surprise interest rate cut by host nation China on Thursday — its first since the global financial crisis of late 2008 — highlighted the meeting's uncertain economic backdrop.
Spain's mounting bank crisis and poor euro zone demand meanwhile hit Europe's shares and single currency on Friday.
"As China slows, that affects everybody. Europe is in a dire state and although traffic there has held up, I think we are coming to an end of that," said Peter Harbison, executive chairman of the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation.
China is the world's fastest-growing aviation market. Traffic at Beijing Capital airport has trebled in the past decade and now ranks second in the world.
The IATA event, which includes dinner for delegates in the Great Hall of the People, brings together the haves and have-nots of an industry that has seen a marked shift of power towards Gulf carriers.
IATA says Middle East carriers have taken up 80 percent of a recent pick-up in cargo demand, while on the passenger side many traditional airlines are struggling to protect premium traffic and make money from their international operations.
Australia's Qantas Airways warned this week of its first annual net loss since 1995, blaming international weakness, poor demand and high fuel costs.
"There is a very substantial diversion of traffic through the Middle East that is hurting other regions," Harbison said.
Gulf carriers led by Dubai's Emirates have invested massively in wide-body aircraft in the past decade to establish the region as a long-distance hub.
Beneath passengers' feet, that has also resulted in big increases in capacity for cargo in the bellies of the same jets.
Analysts say US carriers are emerging from years of restructuring and bankruptcy filings comparatively healthy, if a lot leaner, as they continue to drive down capacity so that they can fly their planes fuller and simultaneously hold up fares.
Airlines may use the meeting to keep up attacks on European Union plans to curb emissions by forcing them to take part in a carbon trading scheme, though behind the scenes experts say that still very tentative efforts are under way to find a compromise.
The EU says the scheme is necessary to meet pollution targets in the absence of a better global framework.
China and others insist the plan infringes their sovereignty because it applies to airspace outside the EU. Some airlines have been ordered by their own governments to ignore the EU law.
"The situation is deteriorating into a difficult one," Tyler said.
