Home > Dial Don't Drive > Heart Attack Symptoms
By recognizing the symptoms of a heart attack and getting help quickly, your chances of surviving and minimizing muscle damage increase dramatically.
Heart attack symptoms may be sudden or unfold slowly. The discomfort may be constant or it may come and go. But you should never ignore any of these signs:
If you or anyone around you is experiencing any of these symptoms, don't drive to the hospital. Call 911. It's the quickest road to survival.
Many people don't realize that women account for nearly 50% of all heart attack deaths. Part of the reason is that women are less likely to act on heart attack symptoms. And while the most common symptom is chest pain, women are more likely to experience the other heart attack signs such as shortness of breath, nausea and back or jaw pain.

Because a is defined in the global scope and can't be reached from within your function. If you want the function to use that variable you need to pass it as a parameter, like so
Code javascript:
var a = 10; a = sayHi(a); function sayHi(a) { var a += 10; alert(a); return a; } alert(a); alert(sayHi(a)+10);
Basically you now have two different a variables; one lives within the global scope while to other lives only within the function sayHi. This is probably easier to understand if the function uses a different variable name:
Code javascript:
var a = 10; a = sayHi(a); function sayHi(b) { var b += 10; alert(b); return b; } alert(a); alert(sayHi(a)+10);
This is exactly the same as the above but I now use a different variable within the function; semantically they're the same thing.
You may want to read up on variable scopes in javascript. For example http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2...ascript-scope/Rémon - Hosting Advisor

Authorities are investigating a homicide that happened Saturday in Colbert County.
Police responded around 10:30 p.m. to a home on 18th Court in Sheffield.
Authorities said Thomas Grant Campbell, 27, of Muscle Shoals, and James Christopher Martin got into an altercation at the home. According to witness statements, Campbell then held a woman at knife point in front of two children. One of the children asked Campbell to let their mother go and when he did, that's when witnesses said Martin shot him.
Campbell was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
"We haven't had this proved yet, but we've been told one of the children actually begged for its mother's life, and then just a few seconds later a person has been shot in front of her. You know that's something you're not ever going to forget. It's going to stay with you forever. That's tragic in itself, not to mention the death of this young man. Nothing good is going to come from this at all," said Police Chief Greg Ray.
According to Facebook, Grant Campbell served as a Marine for five years. His service included three deployments including Iraq, Afghanistan and the coast of Libya.
Police said the investigation is ongoing, and they are relying heavily on the evidence in this case to tell the victim's side of the story.
"Hopefully we're going to do that through some forensic evidence. We do have some more people we still have to talk to. Another sad thing about this is these two families were well-acquainted with each other, they were friends," said Chief Ray.
Martin is in custody for questioning and has not been formally charged.

While some projects die on the vine and enter the hallowed "what if" halls of legendary projects that never got made, some eventually come creaking back to life. The latest lucky one to defy the odds is "Shantaram," a former Johnny Depp-led project that Warner Bros. is reviving. And while Depp has stepped back in the producers chair for his Inifinitum Nihil production shingle, he has handpicked a new lead: Aussie Joel Edgerton, whose stock in Hollywood just keeps rising and rising.
Here's what we wrote about "Shantaram" in a 2010 piece about Ten Dead Projects We'd Like To See Resurrected:
An extraordinary true story, "Shantaram" followed a drug addict bank robber who took on multiple identities to evade cops in several countries, eventually settling in Mumbai where he practiced medicine for the locals. The script by Eric Roth ("Forrest Gump") was much buzzed-about, and Peter Weirbecame attached, but the studio could never agree on the budget for what was definitely R-rated material. As the studio dithered, Depp quickly attached himself to a host of other projects, though "Shantaram" was always a possibility, even if Weir gave way to Mira Nair ("Vanity Fair"). It wasn't until Disney's plans to shoot two 'Pirates' sequels back-to-back that "Shantaram" breathed its last breath at a studio.
According to Deadline, Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan was once set to co-star alongside Depp in the movie, but Depp is apparently now courting Edgerton to take the role. Edgerton's developed a lot of heat since appearing in 2009's Aussie hit "Animal Kingdom" and 2011's "Warrior." Those films paved the way for roles in "Zero Dark Thirty" and "The Great Gatsby." Depp's fondness for Edgerton may not be such a surprise for those paying attention: the Aussie actor may star alongside Depp in "Black Mass," a film about notorious Boston gangster Whitey Bulger. That is, if they can get that project back to life.
Idgy | September 6, 2013 5:13 PM
Amitabh was suggested for a different role in Shantaram, not the Lindsay character, so maybe he's still under consideration to star alongside Joel.
Interesting tidbit at the end about Black Mass possibly being revived (good thing they waited since the story's still evolving; Depp said in June that it was important to wait until everything was ready to film & also that he really wanted to work with director Barry Levinson). Or could be that Depp knows Black Mass is dead & he's helping Edgerton get another good role.
CB | September 6, 2013 7:54 AM
Joel Edgerton is the real deal. Happy for his success. He deserves it. Such a unique, versatile talent.
Nancy_Casteel | September 6, 2013 12:25 AM
my roomate's half-sister is REALLY into Joel Edgerton.
Chris L. | September 5, 2013 8:49 PM
Let's hope this paves the way to get Weir back on board, or at least gauge his interest.

Dorothy Mae Kelley was taken home in the loving arms of our Lord Jesus Christ on Jan.17, 2012.
Dorothy was born to Neil and Grace Bridgman of Sunnyside Wash., on May 24, 1923 in Yakima, Wash. She was raised on her parents' ranch in Sunnyside.
She married James W. Kelley on Aug. 5, 1944. They raised four children, Jim Kelley, of Corvallis Ore., Lynette Olsson, of Silver Spring, Md., Tim Kelley of Chattaroy and Tami Meador of Deer Park. She also had 14 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, and two more great-grandchildren on the way.
She was preceded in death by an infant daughter, Debra; her husband, James; and her granddaughter Kerin.
Dorothy enjoyed working. She worked in the banking and agricultural businesses in Sunnyside, worked as the assistant to the city manager in Corvallis, Ore., and worked in the real estate business in Corvallis.
She also loved cooking, sewing, painting, and taking care of her family. Dorothy was a wonderful mother, friend, and a devoted Christian.
Jim and Dorothy retired and lived in Sunnyside, Albany, Ore., and the Elk and Deer Park areas of Washington. They also made trips to snowbird in Arizona.
Memorial services will be held at the Country Church of The Open Bible, located at 40015 N. Collins Road (the corner of N. Collins Road and Elk to Hwy Road) in Elk on Jan. 28 at 3 p.m.
The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Horizon Hospice, 123 Cascade Way, Spokane, WA 99208.

KSLA News 12 has obtained exclusive dash cam video of a high speed chase taken from a Miller County, Arkansas deputy's car.
The driver leads deputies on a car chase into Texarkana, Texas Monday night.
Deputies say around 10:30 p.m. they attempted to make a traffic stop but the driver sped off nearly hitting them. Deputies say the car chase ended on Woodbury Street in Texarkana after they put out spikes busting the car's two front tires.
Deputies say the driver ran into the woods when the car stopped and they haven't been able to find him. Deputies did say they do have a good idea of who the driver is.
No word on what charges he'll face or why he ran from deputies.
We'll keep you updated on air and online.

The public is being asked to help the Florida Highway Patrol find a truck and the driver that were involved in a fatal hit and run on Saturday night.
The FHP is seeking a white 2010 to 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 or 3500 pickup that has damage to the left front headlight/foglight and missing a mirror. Accident investigators say there will also be other damage to the left side of the hood and fender area.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
• Aug. 18, Daniel Lee Bennett, 25, Floral City, grand theft. Bond $50,000.
• Aug. 21, Shannon April Brown, 36, Old Town, petit theft. Bond $500.
• Aug. 23, Joshua Zachary Clemons, 21, Trenton, VOP.
• Aug. 19, Richard Cooke, 19, Tampa, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia. Bond $1,000.
• Aug. 18, Bobby Duffy Jr., 33, Chiefland, non support of children or spouse.

A man and woman staying at the Manatee Springs Motel were arrested by Chiefland police Wednesday when, according to police, the two were found to be making methamphetamine.
"I got two anonymous calls," a manager at the hotel said Friday. The first call was unintelligible, she said. "I says, 'When you calm down, call me back.'"
Then the woman called back and said, "What I'm trying to tell you is they're making dope!"
"I said, 'Oh, really? I guess we have to have that checked in to.' "
The Levy County Department of Public Safety hosts monthly in-service training. The invitation is extended out to all departments with first responders that serve the county.
This month the training consisted of pediatric airway management. On June 17, 18 and 19, all on-duty LCDPS members were required to attend the training. Members from Chiefland Fire Rescue also participated.
This regular multi-agency training promotes teamwork among the emergency response departments serving the citizens and visitors of Levy County.
Law enforcement officers arrested 42-year-old Wesley B. Goold, of Chiefland, Aug. 14 in connection with a May burglary and theft.
In May, deputies responded to a burglary at a part-time residence on S.E. Highway 19 where they learned that the suspect(s) stole several tools, antique boat motors and an old homemade boat that the victim's deceased father had made.
Months later, while investigating another complaint at an abandoned residence, sheriff's investigators noticed some of these stolen items hidden behind the residence.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office announced the following arrests:
• Aug. 11, Justin Beau Barrs, 32, Old Town, FTA. Bond $2,000.
• Aug. 12, Brian Anthony Brown, 41, Bronson, battery. Bond $25,000.
• Aug. 11, David Glen Carter Cooper, 29, Archer, FTA. Bond $10,000.
• Aug. 13, Chris Allen Cox, 23, Bronson, possession of marijuana, DWLSR. Bond $2, 000.
• Aug. 17, Antre Demetris Davis, 22, Chiefland, aggravated battery.
An off-duty Alachua County Sheriff's deputy helped put out a vehicle fire and rescue a seriously injured woman after three cars collided by the Bronson Speedway on State Road 24 on Tuesday, Aug. 19, shortly before 3 p.m.
All three motorists involved in the wreck were taken to UFHealth Shands Hospital for treatment — two with minor injuries and the third with serious injuries, according to the Florida Highway Patrol report by Trooper M. Corrao.
A driver who hit a man who had been ejected from his vehicle onto U.S. Highway 19 just south of Northwest 147th Place after another accident on Saturday, Aug. 16, at 2:50 a.m. is being sought by the Florida Highway Patrol and the public is being asked to help.
An FHP report by Trooper M.A. Kennard said a witness described the vehicle as a white car, possibly a Ford Taurus.
Anyone with information on the accident is encouraged to contact Trooper Daphne Yuncker ay 352-732-1260 ext. 235 or the FHP Troop Watch Supervisor at 800-395-8248.

Newburyport —
Newburyport Department of Public Services in conjunction with Emergency Management has extended the parking ban until Monday, Feb. 7 at 8 AM. DPS crews and private contractors will be working through the night and weekend to widen streets and minimize snow banks on the corners of intersections. This is necessary to ensure that the City's emergency equipment will be able to respond to calls for service.
Furthermore, downtown businesses and residents are urged to move their vehicles from the Green Street parking lot to the NRA lots. This will allow DPS to clear snow from the Green Street lot efficiently and effectively. DPS is asking that vehicles be moved from the Green Street lot by 11 PM, Thursday, Feb. 3.
Residents and visitors who will head downtown to shop during the parking ban are asked to take caution not to impede traffic flow and/or plowing operations. Vehicles that obstruct either will be subject to ticketing and towing.

CATEGORIES Action, Foreign Language, Independent, Thrillers, Cinematical Indie, CinematicalEver since the elegant caper flick Once a Thief in 1991, Terence Chang has worked with director John Woo, either as producer, co-producer, or executive producer. They both moved to the United States after completing the great Hard-Boiled in 1992; Chang has produced non-Woo projects since then (notably several starring Chow Yun-Fat), but his association with Woo has been his one constant. Yet Chang told the International Herald Tribune (IHT) that he ended up in a hospital due to tension with his friend about the upcoming epic Red Cliff.
The conflict arose after Chang read the script. To tell the story properly, he realized that the running time would approach four hours and far exceed the $50 million budget that had been allocated. Woo was not happy when Chang suggested cutting a big battle scene. Eventually they worked things out and agreed that the film should be released in two parts. Chang got to work raising more money. Filming began earlier this year and should be completed this fall, in time for the first installment to open in China before the Beijing Olympics next summer.
Woo and Chang's latest project, Blood Brothers, has met with mixed response in Asia, but for Chang, who's not made a movie in Asia for 15 years, the challenges started with assembling the ensemble cast. "In Hollywood when you make a film, you lock in the actors for however long. Here, they will give you 20 days this month, 10 days another month ... when you have an ensemble film, oh my God!," he told IHT. "Some actors are doing several things at the same time: another movie, a music video. Ahhhhh! They ask you for very specific dates - but what if it rains?" One cast member suddenly quit during filming when the producers of a television show made him a better offer, which understandably shocked Chang. While the veteran producer has spent most of the past three years putting together Red Cliff, he has other irons in the fire, according to IMDb, such as a live-action version of Mulan, serial killer thriller Second Sight and Tom Tykwer's thriller The International.

Backpacker Magazine – October 2011
America's leading advocate of wilderness silence shows the way to Mt. Rainier National Park's quietest corner. Plus: 9 more campsites with life-list listening.
Guadalupe Mountains (going in the back side, NOT Pine Spring campground where there are actually boom boxes in play!) in west Texas is full of solitude, but there's a jet overhead about every 30 minutes. Very discouraging. You can get away from humans, but not their noise.
Want silence go to Craters of the Moon and overnight(s) a few miles into the Monument quiet and the Milky Way.
City of Rocks is a wonderful place to climb, hike & camp. But I wouldn't call it quiet- especially on weekends. Good luck trying to find a campsite, be sure and use the reservation system.
Just did the Escalante Route in the Grand Canyon. In the morning about every 45 minutes, 3 or 4 choppers cross the canyon hugging the no-fly zone. Didn't ruin an awesome hike, but I will admit I was annoyed. Did the trail on a Saturday, so maybe weekdays are less noisy.
Surprised that the Eastern Sierras didn't make this list. Once you get in past the foothills, it is almost completely free of humans, and the lower mountains (8,000-11,000 feet) block any noise from Highway 395. Once every hour or so, I notice a jet flying at 35,000 feet overhead, but never hear a peep from them.
Of course around Mt Whitney and Mammoth Mountain, this doesn't apply...
Great information about flight rules in Grand Canyon. I am glad you clarified this I have hiked in and crossed the canyon many times and I only saw one helicopter in all of those trips. So I was wondering if the author was referring to some other Grand Canyon.
Thank You Jonathan,
Very useful information.
This reminds me of the words of an old favorite song. Ken Burns used the music in his documentary on the National Parks. There is a line that goes, "This is my Father's world and to my listening ears all nature sings, around me rings the music of the spheres.
Don't forget Haleakala National Park on Maui. Total silence, no wind, no trees rustling, no water running, complete silence all the time. Amazing place.
Having lived for a year and a half in the Grand Canyon working for one of the concessionaires, I'd like to clarify that 'tourist flyovers' over the Grand Canyon are prohibited over National Park lands. Tour flights and copters have to follow a path around the touristy sections of the Canyon (basically Desert View to the North Rim to a little past Hermits Rest) and they have to stay at a certain level above the Canyon. Tours typically fly over Hualapai land. NPS copters will fly into the Canyon at designated times for supplies to Phantom Ranch, not including search and rescues or medevacs. The spanse of the Canyon that stretches between Hermits to Desert View have many backcountry sites available for only $10/night/person that have NO visitors. And for a true spiritual experience, try out the Navajo lands not controlled by the NPS, available at http://www.navajonationparks.org. You'd be giving to a nation that desperately needs your funding.

Killer of 2 NY firemen bragged in note he liked 'killing people,' death toll rises to 3
WEBSTER, N.Y. (AP) -- An ex-con killed two firefighters with the same caliber and make military-style rifle used in the Connecticut school massacre after typing a note pledging to burn down his neighborhood and "do what I like doing best, killing people," police said Tuesday as another body, believed to be the gunman's missing sister, was found.
William Spengler, 62, who served 17 years in prison for manslaughter in the 1980 hammer slaying of his grandmother, set his house afire before dawn Christmas Eve before taking a revolver, a shotgun and a semiautomatic rifle to a sniper position outside, Police Chief Gerald Pickering said.
The death toll rose to three as police revealed that a body believed to be the killer's 67-year-old sister, Cheryl Spengler, was found in his fire-ravaged home.
Authorities say he sprayed bullets at the first responders, killing two firefighters and injuring two others who remained hospitalized Tuesday in stable condition, awake and alert and expected to survive. He then killed himself as seven houses burned on a sliver of land along Lake Ontario.
Police recovered a military-style .223-caliber semiautomatic Bushmaster rifle with flash suppression, the same make and caliber weapon used in the elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., that killed 26, including 20 young children, Pickering said.
Syrian rebels capture town, attack air base in new gains in north
BEIRUT (AP) -- Syrian rebels fully captured a northern town near the Turkish border on Tuesday after weeks of heavy fighting and attacked a regime air base in a neighboring province, activists said.
The air base is in Aleppo province, where opposition fighters have already captured three other large military bases in recent months. Rebels have also laid siege to the international airport in the city of Aleppo, Syria's commercial capital, and launched an offensive on the police academy near the city.
With steady rebel gains across the north, President Bashar Assad's regime is having increasing difficulty sending supplies by land to Aleppo province, especially after rebels cut a major thoroughfare from Damascus. It is just another sign that the opposition is consolidating its grip across large swathes of territory in northern Syria near the Turkish border.
In his traditional Christmas address, Pope Benedict XVI decried the slaughter of the "defenseless" in Syria, where anti-regime activists estimate more than 40,000 have died in fighting since the uprising against President Bashar Assad's rule began in March 2011.
In another blow to the regime, activists said that Mohammed Adnan Arabo, a member of Syria's parliament has left the country and joined the opposition. Ahmad Ramadan, an executive council member of the opposition Syrian National Council group, and other activists said Arabo arrived in Turkey on Tuesday.
With storms and 'fiscal cliff' worry, US holiday shopping up just 0.7 pct, weakest since 2008
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. holiday retail sales this year grew at the weakest pace since 2008, when the nation was in a deep recession. In 2012, the shopping season was disrupted by bad weather and consumers' rising uncertainty about the economy.
A report that tracks spending on popular holiday goods, the MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse, said Tuesday that sales in the two months before Christmas increased 0.7 percent, compared with last year. Many analysts had expected holiday sales to grow 3 to 4 percent.
In 2008, sales declined by between 2 percent and 4 percent as the financial crisis that crested that fall dragged the economy into recession. Last year, by contrast, retail sales in November and December rose between 4 percent and 5 percent, according to ShopperTrak, a separate market research firm. A 4 percent increase is considered a healthy season.
Shoppers were buffeted this year by a string of events that made them less likely to spend: Superstorm Sandy and other bad weather, the distraction of the presidential election and grief about the massacre of schoolchildren in Newtown, Conn. The numbers also show how Washington's current budget impasse is trickling down to Main Street and unsettling consumers. If Americans remain reluctant to spend, analysts say, economic growth could falter next year.
In the end, even steep last-minute discounts weren't enough to get people into stores, said Marshal Cohen, chief research analyst at the market research firm NPD Inc.
Nasty storms, tornadoes cross South; blizzard conditions in midsection; 3 deaths, travel tough
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) -- Twisters hopscotched across the Deep South, and, along with brutal, straight-line winds, knocked down countless trees, blew the roofs off homes and left many Christmas celebrations in the dark. Holiday travelers in the nation's much colder midsection battled treacherous driving conditions from freezing rain and blizzard conditions from the same fast-moving storms.
As predicted, conditions were volatile throughout the day and into the night with tornado warnings still out for some parts of Alabama, Florida and Georgia. The storms were blamed for three deaths, several injuries, and left homes from Louisiana to Alabama damaged.
In Mobile, Ala., a tornado or high winds damaged homes, a high school and church, and knocked down power lines and large tree limbs in an area just west of downtown around nightfall. WALA-TV's tower camera captured the image of a large funnel cloud headed toward downtown.
Rick Cauley, his wife, Ashley, and two children were hosting members of both of their families. When the sirens went off, the family headed down block to take shelter at the athletic field house at Mobile's Murphy High School.
"As luck would have it, that's where the tornado hit," Cauley said. "The pressure dropped and the ears started popping and it got crazy for a second." They were all fine, though the school was damaged. Hours after the storm hit, officials reported no serious injuries in the southwestern Alabama city.
Pope's Christmas message calls for peace in Mideast, more religious freedoms in China
VATICAN CITY (AP) -- In his Christmas message to the world Tuesday, Pope Benedict XVI called for an end to the slaughter in Syria and for more meaningful negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, while encouraging more religious freedom under China's new leaders.
Delivering the traditional speech from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, Benedict also encouraged Arab spring nations, especially Egypt, to build just and respectful societies.
The pope prayed that China's new leadership may "esteem the contribution of the religions, in respect for each other" to help build a "fraternal society for the benefit of that noble people."
It was a clear reference to the Chinese government's often harsh treatment of Catholics loyal to the pontiff instead of to the state-sanctioned church. Earlier this month, the Vatican refused to accept the decision by Chinese authorities to revoke the title of a Shanghai bishop, who had been appointed in a rare show of consensus between the Holy See and China.
As the 85-year-old pontiff, bundled up in an ermine-trimmed red cape, gingerly stepped foot on the balcony, the pilgrims, tourists and Romans below backing St. Peter's Square erupted in cheers.

Egypt's constitution passes, now economic crisis looms
CAIRO (AP) -- The official approval of Egypt's disputed, Islamist-backed constitution Tuesday held out little hope of stabilizing the country after two years of turmoil and Islamist President Mohammed Morsi may now face a more immediate crisis with the economy falling deeper into distress.
In a clear sign of anxiety over the economy, the turbulence of the past month and expected austerity measures ahead have some Egyptians hoarding dollars for fear the currency is about to take a significant turn for the weaker.
The battle over the constitution left Egypt deeply polarized at a time when the government is increasingly cash-strapped. Supporters of the charter campaigned for it on the grounds that it will lead to stability, improve the grip of Morsi and his allies on state institutions, restore investor confidence and bring back tourists.
"In times of change, politics are the driver of the economy and not the other way around," said Mourad Aly, a media adviser for the political arm of the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, the backbone of Morsi's presidency and the main group that backed the constitution.
But there are already multiple fights on the horizon.
UC Davis Veterinarian: Hero dog that lost snout saving 2 girls appears to have beaten cancer
DAVIS, Calif. (AP) -- A veterinarian at the University of California, Davis, has some good news about a dog from the Philippines who became an international hero after sacrificing her snout to save two young girls.
After completing six weekly intravenous chemotherapy infusions, Kabang appears to have beaten the cancer she was suffering from, Gina Davis, the primary care veterinarian at the William R. Pritchard Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital in Davis, told the San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/Ti87pl).
The dog, however, is still facing treatment for heartworms in her arteries before she can have the gaping wound on her face closed. Full treatment of that condition was put on hold during cancer therapy.
Kabang -- a female mongrel -- had the first of three arsenic-based heartworm shots on Dec. 4 and is expected to receive the other two in the second week of January, Davis said.
"It will be one to two months for her to recover from that before she goes in and has the surgery," Davis said.
Bryant scores 34 points to help Lakers beat Knicks 100-94 and return to .500
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The pieces of the puzzle that have been the Lakers' confounding season so far are starting to fall into place.
Kobe Bryant engineered a second-half comeback, the defense stepped up, and Los Angeles beat the New York Knicks 100-94 on Tuesday, extending its winning streak to five games.
"We're .500," a smiling Dwight Howard said. "We did it on Christmas, too. I knew this day would come."
Bryant scored 34 points in his NBA-record 15th Christmas Day game and Metta World Peace added 20 points and seven rebounds while defending Carmelo Anthony, whose 34 points led the Knicks. Anthony said he hyperextended his left knee, but expects to play on Wednesday in Phoenix.
Bryant, the league's leading scorer, has topped 30 or more points in nine straight games.
Rajon Rondo scores 19, Celtics beat Nets 93-76 in Christmas opener
NEW YORK (AP) -- Rajon Rondo lost his cool, and any chance at history, in the second quarter when Boston last met Brooklyn.
This time, the second period featured some of the best basketball the Celtics have played this season.
Rondo scored 19 points in his first full game against the Nets this season, and the Celtics won 93-76 on Tuesday in another game with some heated moments between the division rivals.
Rondo, sidelined in the first meeting and thrown out of the second after shoving Nets forward Kris Humphries into the courtside seats, outplayed counterpart Deron Williams and helped the Celtics take control early.
"We moved the ball; we rebounded the ball," Rondo said. "They beat us pretty bad on the glass, so tonight we did an exceptional job on the glass, taking care of the defensive rebounds, and we got stops."

By now you've read about Microsoft's announcement that Ray Ozzie is headed out the door. Bill Gates' designated second hitter in the software design department, Ray has been a driving force -- arguably the driving force -- in Microsoft's long, labored march to the cloud.
Looked at from the outside, Ray's departure might appear sudden or unexpected. But those of us who have watched his frustration build over the years can't help but wonder what took him this long.
I wrote yesterday about the role of the designer at Apple and how the veneration afforded designers -- who sit on the right hand of Steve -- may well be the primary force driving Apple's ongoing success.
Now comes word that Microsoft's head designer Ray Ozzie -- officially Chief Software Architect, de facto the highest-level designer in the company, with a purview outside the tired Windows/Office megalith -- has decided to take a break.
Nobody knows exactly why he's going, maybe not even Ozzie, but looking at Microsoft's slothlike progress in cloud computing and newly rediscovered faith in Windows and Office, it's easy to see a few contributing factors.
Ray Ozzie first appeared on my radar screen when I heard about this amazing guy who designed Lotus Notes. If you never used Notes, count yourself lucky. I've rarely seen anything that so aptly fills the description, "Designed by geniuses. Implemented by idiots." The Notes architecture completely revolutionized the way businesses communicated. But the Notes product had so many enormously frustrating gaps and gaffes that people in the trenches hated it. IBM bought Lotus primarily for Notes -- and look where it's gone.
Ozzie went on to form Groove. Microsoft bought it -- and him -- in 2005, and Ozzie took on Bill's software design mantle in 2006. Groove was slapped onto the side of Office, and ultimately morphed into SharePoint Services, which hasn't really emerged from the Office shadow.
Ozzie's biggest contribution to Microsoft's future direction has to be the Oct. 28, 2006, memo titled "The Internet Services Disruption." An insightful blueprint for the future, Microsoft stood up, took notice, but hasn't followed through very well.
He took on several new projects at Microsoft, but the most visible was Azure. In 2008, at the Professional Developer's Conference, he described Azure as a cloud-based operating system complete with its own application programming interface. A year later, Azure was a tiny shadow of its former self. At the end of December 2009, Microsoft went through another reorg, pulling the Azure project out from under Ozzie's purview. A product called Azure has been released, but the feature set doesn't even begin to match the lofty initial design.
There's that word again.
Ozzie was also directly involved in designing and rolling out Live Mesh, a handful of groundbreaking technologies that help weave applications and data together in the cloud. When it finally hit the ground, Windows Live Sync, er, Mesh, lost several key features from its earlier implementation. I talked about Live Mesh's less-than-stellar incarnation as Windows Live Mesh last month.
Then there was Live Labs. In January 2006, with much fanfare, Microsoft launched Live Labs for "rapidly developing and deploying Internet technologies" in direct competition with Google. It was one of Ozzie's pet projects, taking on Google mano a mano in the cloud. Two weeks ago, Microsoft disbanded Live Labs, it moved the team over to the Bing group, and the leader of Live Labs left.
A year ago Ozzie founded Future Social Experiences (Fuse) Labs. Tasked with "releasing new applications and services that address the rich, real-time, and social nature of our everyday lives," Fuse Labs is now best known for the privacy-challenged application called docs.com that runs on Facebook. How the mighty have fallen.
Then there's the personality thing. Ozzie is anything but a Ballmer toadie. I was -- and still am -- amazed at the difference in perception and vision displayed at the D8 conference in June. Watch the full interview and you'll see: Ozzie "gets" the cloud, no question. Ballmer's grasp leaves something to be desired. (Ozzie's correcting Ballmer on stage rates as a nonpareil career-limiting move, even at his level, but I digress.)
Ozzie isn't the only frustrated genius at Microsoft. The Redmond campus is packed with 'em. But his departure marks a real turning point in Microsoft's devolution, er, evolution.
Some people see Ozzie's departure as a triumph of the old Windows/Office school over the cloud-enamored young Turks. I think there's some truth in that. But I also see it as a situation where a brilliant designer just didn't have traction in the company to bring his visions to reality. Even at Ray Ozzie's vaunted level, as a direct descendant of Bill, he couldn't pull together the teams or the resources to make his ideas real.

Nearly 60 percent of computers sold in 2011 were notebooks of one kind or another — desktop PCs, by contrast, accounted for less than 30 percent. Over the years, laptops have become generally slimmer, lighter and less power-hungry, and they will remain the staple tool of business workforces worldwide for the foreseeable future.

Building a musical ark for all of us
07/11/2012 22:06
Groundation's Harrison Stafford explains his blend of Jewish heritage and a love of Rastafarian culture.

And 14 years and seven albums in, the guitarist and singer's sprawling California-based jazz-infused roots reggae band Groundation is still bringing home the message of togetherness, spurred on by equal measures of Old Testament fervor and Rastafarian rapture.
That synthesis – borne out of Stafford's Jewish upbringing and a later Rastafarian awakening – is most vividly felt on the nine-piece group's latest album Building the Ark, which he described as their "greatest work to date."
"For me, the ark, whether it's the ark of the covenant or Noah's Ark, is a place of safety, a place where you put something that you want to keep and protect," said Harrison this week from Italy, where Groundation is in the middle of a European tour which arrives in Israel for a show at the Barbie Club in Tel Aviv on July 14.
"And on this album, we're trying to spread the message that good people come from all walks of life, cultures, nationalities and colors. And we shouldn't be satisfied until everybody is brought into the ark."
Stafford is what used to be called a rabble- rouser, but he's a benevolent one, using music as his weapon of choice, and building his own personal ark with his varied group of musicians onstage every night. As like a possessed prophet of old, he passionately describes his efforts to spread the love.
"We have these great people in the audience and we always say to them, 'look around, these are your brothers and sisters, these are the people who are going to be there for you in your time need. So remember each other, and have love for each other and keep those positive vibrations burning,'" said Stafford.
"We can't let money, greed and vanity dominate our thinking, we have to let love in, and that's what the album is about, trying to wake people up."
Stafford and Groundation – derived from "grounation," a Rastafarian ceremony aimed at reaching a common vibration through the positive power of prayer and music – have been raising consciousnesses since 1998 when Stafford and two fellow students in the jazz program at California's Sonoma State University – keyboardist Marcus Urani and bassist Ryan Newman – discovered mutual alchemy and a shared love of reggae and expansive improvisation.
Over the ensuing years and widely varied and ambitious albums, the band grew to is current nine members, including a jazz horn section and female Jamaican singers Kim Pommell and Kerry- Ann Morgan. According to Stafford, Building the Ark is the first time all the members have been able to fully express themselves, a development he attributes to their roles constantly evolving.
"After all this time together, you better be evolving," he laughed. "You better be learning more about each other and each other's skills and how to highlight the musical ability to its peak," he said. "That's why you have so many female lead vocals from Kim and Kerry-Ann, and that's not all. Everybody shines on this album, and we're learning what it means to really make good arrangements and compositions."
STAFFORD LEARNED his musical chops and his encompassing philosophy on life from his father, a jazz pianist, whose non-conformist lifestyle included traveling many times with the family to Jamaica where he discovered reggae and Rastafarian culture.
Wearing a knit head covering suspiciously close to an oversized kippa, Stafford said he incorporates the principles of both Judaism and Rastafarianism in his daily life, in respect to loving one's neighbor and striving for equal rights and justice.
"Like it says in the Torah, when one person is suffering, the whole house of Israel is suffering," he said.
"Growing up and going to Hebrew school and attending temple is a part of who I am, just like my jazz training is," said Stafford. "It's in the consciousness, it's part of my tool box. So whether writing about Masada or Moses or Abraham, there have always been a lot of biblical themes in our music.
"But with Building the Ark, even though it refers to the Torah, there's more of a universal theme being expressed – it's not a remembrance of an old event but a conversation about the future."
Groundation have performed a number of times in Israel in the past few years, and Stafford has become enamored with certain aspects of the country, calling his first visit five years ago "a homecoming."
"I never experienced something like that in my life, and I'm sure most Jews around the Diaspora experience the same things, of being in awe at the street signs and store signs in Hebrew," he said.
"It's the kind of place for Jews to be who they are, which is essential because we've been treated poorly for so many years."
Maybe that's why Stafford said that the band's musical experiences in Israel have been among their most memorable, with their material taking on another level of meaning being performed in his spiritual homeland.
"It's almost like the music of Groundation made the most sense in Israel, it was like a whole new experience," he said. "The level of the songs and performances just jumped at that first show we did five years ago, and it was felt not only by me, but all the musicians."
At the same time, on his most recent visit in 2010, he visited with Palestinians in Kalkilya and Ramallah and called the journey "an eye opener."
"I don't have any definitive statement to make, but the experience didn't necessarily bolster my Jewish identity," he said.
"But it did make me reflect on the present day occupation and what is needed to create a harmonious society between Muslims and Jews. We're part of the same family really, and how to bring that family together is part of a new challenge I experienced."
Another challenge Groundation is experiencing is transferring the vibrancy and vitality of live, organically-played improvisational music to a younger generation raised on playbacks, iPods and samples. The options afforded Stafford as a youth of being exposed to jazz and reggae is much more of a long shot today when many attention spans don't last beyond the first verse of a rap song.
"We're living in an age right now of delicate balance, where we're getting a lot of knowledge from technology but at the same time, we can't lean on it too much," he said.
"We see this manifested in music because music is our life. As we tour around and play festivals around the world, we find very few bands that perform without some form of mechanical robot thing – whether it's a click track in the drummer's ear, or the whole band's ears, a backing track they play along to or even a DJ just bringing his laptop on tour.
"It's a danger, that people are going to lose their musical skills. And part of what we're doing is hoping to steer the ship in a different direction."
With Stafford at the helm, you know it's going to be smooth sailing.

SWINDON TOWN: Frustration for Roberts
6:00am Monday 7th January 2013 in Football By Andy Warren, Deputy sports editor, email@example.com, @AndyWarren_
WINGER Gary Roberts was a frustrated man despite Town's dominant 4-0 victory over Carlisle on Saturday.
Roberts was handed a start in place of Raffa De Vita on the left of the Town midfield, and impressed on his return to the side as he combined superbly with Andy Williams and James Collins to help Town cruise to victory.
The 28-year-old had a number of chances to score including two efforts at the back post from tight angles, and also saw a shot saved which eventually allowed De Vita to tap home Town's fourth.
But while the former Huddersfield man was pleased to have earned a place in Paolo Di Canio's starting line-up, he was frustrated not to find the net himself.
"I had a few chances to score, and to be honest if I was still on the pitch now I probably still wouldn't have scored," he said.
"But it is good to be back in the team, and I was more than happy to get a start and hopefully I have done enough to stay in the team.
"But it is a squad game, and we have a big squad and we saw Raffa come on and get another goal, so that shows how tough it is."
Both Roberts and De Vita have shown flashes of brilliance during the first half of the season, and Roberts is hoping his display has given Di Canio a tough decision to make for next week's trip to Bournemouth.
"It is a great problem for the gaffer to have, because even though he didn't start Raffa came on and did well, and he is a quality player, and Matt Ritchie is on the other side too,"
"Having so much quality is only good for the team, and we all want each other to do well. But we all want to play too, so the competition is a great thing for us to have."

GapKids Running 'I Want Candy' Ad Campaign in the USA
GapKids is ready for the holiday season with its 'I Want Candy' campaign that launched in the US last week.
Photo: Girls starring in the 'I Want Candy' campaign, by Gap
It debuted on Gap's Facebook page and YouTube channel with a music video starring viral music sensation, Maria Aragon, who performs the old time favorite song 'I Want Candy,' by The Strangeloves. Eleven year-old Maria who comes from Canada has become a web music star due to her cover of Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way,' earlier this year.
Maria sings and dances in a candy shop surrounded by five bubbly girls who dance, laugh and sing along while twirling around a candy shop. They are dressed in GapKids 'most wanted' holiday looks that include tutus, tulle skirts and layered dresses, as well as sequin cardigans and glitter accessories—all in pink that is, as the official press release states, every little girl's favorite color.
"The 'I Want Candy' collection evokes the feeling of what it's like to be young again during the holidays—it's fun, optimistic and captures the magic of the season," said Seth Farbman, Gap's Chief Marketing Officer. "We wanted to bring that feeling to life through a music video that captures a moment of uninhibited joy and excitement. It's something every generation can relate to and we hope families will enjoy it together."
The music video can be seen in movie theaters nationwide and on sites like Disney.com. Some of the videos offer $5 off or 50 percent off one regularly priced item. This is available for those fans who share it with their friends. The campaign will is also appear in print in December issues of monthly magazines such as InStyle, Lucky Kids, Martha Stewart Living, O, The Oprah Magazine, Parents, Parenting and Real Simple.
The 'I Want Candy' collection for boys and girls features tweed overcoats, wool sweaters, classic plaid shirts and tiered tulle dresses. While girl's clothing is mostly pink, items for boys include blue green and ruby red colors.
Textured Trench Coat ($78), Warmest Parka ($88), Tulle Layered Cake Dress ($39.95), Multi-Ruffle Tutu ($34.95), Sequin Cardigan ($39.95), Fur Trapper Hat ($19.95), and Sparkle Bow Ballet Shoe ($29.95) are positioned as must-haves for girls. Boys are offered Chambray Puffer ($68), Warmest Vest ($39.95), Performance Jeans ($49.95), Five-pocket Cord ($29.95), Skull Argyle Sweater ($29.95), Striped Sweater ($29.95), and Desert Boot ($34.95).
Earlier this year, Gap has announced that Diane von Furstenberg will develop an exclusive collection for GapKids and babyGap that will be available in spring 2012.

ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich., June 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- IMPAXX™, the impact-absorbing foam credited with enabling NASCAR drivers to walk away from disastrous crashes, has earned Coastal Automotive Corporation recognition as a General Motors Supplier of the Year.
Coastal Automotive is among six interior suppliers to most recently receive this honor, and one of 68 suppliers recognized overall, putting Coastal Automotive in a class of less than one percent of GM's 19,000+ global suppliers.
"We are equal parts thrilled and honored to be named Supplier of the Year by GM," said Clarence Martin, Coastal Automotive President. "It is a highly respected confirmation of how valued our product and company are to one of our largest customers, and a rare achievement for a seven-year-old company supplying the automaker for only three years."
IMPAXX™ is highly engineered, extruded polystyrene foam manufactured to maximize efficiency and minimize weight, and is up to 50 percent lighter than other foam materials. Lower densities of the foam achieve the same performance as thicker amounts of comparable foams, allowing for design flexibility and increased passenger comfort, performing in less space.
IMPAXX™ is used in automotive parts including headliner and pillar trims, front and rear doors, steering columns and lower instrument panels, under carpet, in bumper systems, and in headrests. The product supports better safety ratings and requirement compliance, and is precision cut into simple shapes, eliminating the need for tooling.
"Our suppliers play an important role in helping GM deliver compelling vehicles to our customers," said Grace Lieblein, GM vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain. "Supplier of the Year winners have outstanding track records for consistently meeting our business needs while also supporting our cultural priorities."
Coastal Automotive has been supplying IMPAXX™ to GM since 2010. The Rochester Hills-based company currently has 90-employees.

Proof that starving a fever works
STARVING a fever, the cure recommended in old wives' tale, is now backed by science.
Boffins believe that food can accelerate the spread of infections.
They found well-fed water fleas were more contagious than those given less to eat.
The Edinburgh University study, published in the journal Biology Letters, found that some of the well-fed fleas also lived longer, giving them more time to multiply and spread infection.
Nutrition may also play an important role in the spread of disease.
The findings may lead to new ways to monitor the spread of infections in large populations.
Dr Pedro Vale, of Edinburgh's School of Biological Sciences, who led the study, said: "If we have an idea of which individuals transmit a lot of disease, we will be better able to stop its spread.
"We know that contact between individuals is important; but now we know that, for some animals at least, nutrition may also play an important role in the spread of disease."

PHOENIX -- U.S. Sen. John McCain says he's reluctant to tell the owner of the Washington Redskins to change the team's nickname even though some say the word is offensive.
"Redskins, to many Native Americans, which matters more than John McCain's view, is offensive," said the Arizona senator. "I don't presume to tell the owner of the Redskins what he should or should not do."
Meanwhile, Daniel Snyder, the team's owner, has not indicated that he has any plans to change the name of his team.
