WASHINGTON -- iTunes users have started receiving emails from Apple offering the chance to get a refund for recent App Store purchases made by children without the permission of a parent.
Users who believe they are due a refund have until April 15 to submit a refund request.
The email is the latest in Apple's attempts to satisfy its agreement with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to ensure that children aren't able to make unauthorized app purchases.
In January, Apple signed an agreement with the FTC to provide full refunds -- totaling $32 million -- to parents whose children made in-app purchases without parental permission.
An in-app purchase occurs when a user downloads an app -- often free -- and then is offered the opportunity to pay additional charges for additional features.
In the past, there was a 15-minute window after a user downloaded any app in which he or she could make in-app purchases without re-entering a password.
That left open the opportunity for a child to make 15 minutes of unauthorized purchases after a parent downloaded an application. Apple removed that option in 2011.
Since then, and until today, after an initial in-app purchase, additional charges can be incurred without re-entering a password for a 15-minute period.
Apple issues heads up to parents
In Apple's most recent iOS update -- 7.1 -- users are being notified of the 15- minute window each time they make an in-app purchase.
"Apple's added a pop-up dialog that warns parents," says computer consultant Jeff Lauterette, of Springfield, Va.-based Mid Atlantic Consulting.
Under its consent decree with the FTC, Apple had until March 31 to notify consumers of the refund policy and make other changes to ensure that children don't make purchases without a parent's knowledge.
"The pop-up is kind of a compromise, because people don't want to enter their password every two seconds they make a little purchase," says Lauterette, but "Apple's trying to make sure parents know that when they enter that password, for 15 minutes their child could make purchases."
Once receiving the dialog, users can change settings to require that a password be entered for every subsequent in-app purchase.
Did your child make unauthorized app purchases?
This is the email received by many iTunes users. In addition, those who have not received the email can review past purchases and use an enclosed link to request a refund:
Dear iTunes account owner,
Apple is committed to providing parents and kids with a great experience on the App Store. We review all app content before allowing it on our store, provide a wide range of age-appropriate content, and include parental controls in iOS to make it easy for parents to restrict or disable access to content.
We've heard from some customers that it was too easy for their kids to make in-app purchases. As a result, we've improved controls for parents so they can better manage their children's purchases, or restrict them entirely. Additionally, we are offering refunds in certain cases.
Our records show that you made some in-app purchases, and if any of these were unauthorized purchases by a minor, you might be eligible for a refund from Apple.
Please follow the steps below to submit a refund request:
Find your in-app purchase records. Check your email for iTunes receipts or use a computer to sign in to your iTunes account and view your Purchase History.
Use this link to submit your refund request to Apple.
Provide the requested information and enter "Refund for In-App Purchases made by a minor" in the Details section.
Apple will review your request and contact you via email about your refund status. All refund requests must be submitted no later than April 15, 2015.
If you have any questions or need further assistance with your refund request, please contact Apple.
To learn more about parental controls in iOS, please see this article.
Thank you.
Under the agreement, Apple is required to pay at least $32.5 million. If customers' refund requests don't equal that figure, the remainder of the money will go to the FTC.

When India front up to Australia in the first Test in Chennai on February 22, it will have been more than two months since England returned home with a perfect Christmas gift.
A standout performance by English spinners Monty Panesar and Graeme Swann, James Anderson's fabulous reverse swing and captain Cook's mountain of runs made the Test series defeat at home a bitter pill for the Indian followers to swallow.
The outcome of the latest chapter in India-Australia rivalry will depend a lot on how well the hosts have learnt from the mistakes committed against England, who won their first series in India since 1985.
That contest had been billed as a 'revenge series' after India's debacle in England earlier, and the same talk is doing the rounds again now that the Aussies are here. 'Revenge' will be easier said than done, though, as India found out against a better-prepared England team marshalled so well by Alastair Cook.
Like Cook, Michael Clarke was in prolific touch in 2012. The fact that he scored 1595 runs in 11 Tests to beat Ricky Ponting's feat of 1544 from 15 matches in 2005 for most runs by an Australian in a calendar year makes it ominous.
Like England, Australia's can-do spirit can be unnerving, more so with the bunch of rookies at Clarke's disposal keen to prove a point. The Aussie ability to keep coming at the opposition with unerring regularity can rattle the best of teams. India's opening combination has been suspect at best in recent times.
Virender Sehwag has been on a downward spiral ever since the Ahmedabad Test, and incidentally so has been India's lot. The Delhi opener's dash at the used to set matches up beautifully and deflate the opposition, and was a key factor in India's rise to the numero uno status in Tests.
A good opening partnership does not expose the middle order to the new ball and partnerships built on that give the bowlers a good total to bowl at. All of that was conspicuous by its absence in the series against England, who after losing the first Test in Ahmedabad got wiser and won in Mumbai and Kolkata, with Panesar and Swann ruthlessly exposing the frailties of the Indian middle order.
Sehwag will have a different partner to open with - it's a toss-up between M Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan with the former likely to get the nod - and India will be hoping they deny Australia an early opening.
Only Yuvraj Singh is missing from the middle order that did duty against England. Nathan Lyon, Xavier Doherty, Ashton Agar, Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith and Clarke compare poorly to Swann and Panesar. But with summer advancing, rough surfaces offer more grip and the bite makes life difficult for batsmen on rank turners. Patience will be a virtue for the batsmen.
David Warner is doubtful for the Chennai Test but even without the 'Pocket Rocket,' Australia are likely to have at least two left-handers in their line-up. But if off-spinners R Ashwin and Harbhajan Singh are licking their lips in anticipation, they better think again. Especially after the manner in which Cook ground the attack to dust, helped in no small measure by Ashwin's penchant to try too many things.
The Aussies are likely to miss the nerve and poise of Ricky Ponting and Mike Hussey, though. Barring Shane Watson and Ed Cowan to an extent, the tour games in the leadup to the Test series have seen the Australians falter against spin. Time will tell if it's an acclimatisation process or an effort to lull the Indians into complacency.
Harbhajan, the 99-Test veteran, will have to be at his vintage best against an opposition not known to give an inch. Left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha also has his task cut out.
That is where the pacers will be tested. Anderson made the difference for England and obliged his skipper whenever a partnership loomed. The presence of Peter Siddle, Mitchell Johnson, James Pattinson, Jackson Bird, Mitchell Starc and Moises Henriques means the Aussies are well-equipped in the pace department. Reverse swing will be a major factor.
In Zaheer Khan and Umesh Yadav's absence, Ishant Sharma has to shoulder the burden and also guide Ashok Dinda and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Getting it right...
Team India will have to be spot on in their selection. Gautam Gambhir's exclusion means there will be a different opening combination. But it's the crucial No. 6 position, and how many spinners to play, that will make for an interesting predicament...
The selectors have named three openers in the squad for the first two Tests. And seasoned campaigner Gautam Gambhir failed to make the cut. Murali Vijay has not done badly in the limited chances he got but the inclusion of Shikhar Dhawan makes the choice of an opening partner for Virender Sehwag interesting. While the Nawab of Najafgarh has struggled in recent times, Vijay and Dhawan have runs under their belt in domestic cricket. Playing Dhawan would mean a right-left combination of two attacking Delhi players. But there is considerable excitement in Chennai that two of their players will be in action come February 22. Vijay and Ashwin are the two names doing the rounds.
The middle order picks itself. Cheteshwar Pujara, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli are straightforward choices but if there's one spot that needs a proven performer, it's the No.6 slot. Pujara has taken over Dravid's spot at No.3 with some success. But there is no clear statement of intent yet for the position where VVS Laxman acquitted himself so well when it came to saving or winning Test matches in the company of tailenders. Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina have had their chances and it's an added burden that MS Dhoni will have to shoulder. That the likes of Ashwin and Harbhajan follow should be of some solace to the Indian skipper, depending on how many spinners he wants to field in the XI.
Skipper Dhoni has made no secret of his desire to play to India's strength: spin. India played four spinners in the Nagpur Test against England but failed in their mission to draw the series. Offie R Ashwin and left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha were found wanting on surfaces where Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar revelled. Harbhajan Singh, dropped after the Mumbai Test, returns to the fold. Fielding the first three means the hosts can play only one quick: Ishant Sharma. In the event of no quick breakthroughs, pressure is bound to build on the spinners. Fielding two spinners and two quicks mean either Dinda or Bhuvneshwar Kumar may get a look-in, with Jadeja to chip in with his left-arm spin.

I'm Janet, mom to Sam and Rachel, who are 11-year-old twins. They will be in 6th grade next year. I'm married and we live in suburban Phila. I'm currently an unemployed software engineer. I plan on enjoying the summer off before looking for a new job in the fall. Rachel enjoys sports, and Sam enjoys TV and GameCube. They may be twins, but they are very different ;-)
Glad you're joining us, Sherrie!
|Thu, 06-26-2003 - 11:08pm
I was just thinking that I've come back to this bd so I should re-introduce myself. I'll take Janet's cue.
My name is Stacy. I WOH full time. DH and I live in Northeast NJ. We have 6.5yo b/g twins and a 11yo DS named Jonathan. Jonathan is basically a good kid but he does some stuff that makes me and DH crazy. Especially since he is so good we wish he'd act it more often, LOL. His biggest issue is an old time favorite; "He isn't living up to his potential in school." I also have to remind him way too often that he is Leah and Scott's big brother and NOT their dad. Hmm, maybe he just thinks he is their dictator! LOL

Thanks for the warm welcome and I agree about the great co-cl. Yeesh, sounds like you and I have a lot in common with our sons. We're familiar with the brother/not parent conflict and the "not living up to potential". Sean is a good kid with limited memory and common sense -at times LOL. We're in the middle of the Yu-Gi-Oh craze, you too? Sean can quote chapter and verse on the stengths and weaknesses of his various cards (and he has well over 100) but he can't remember that I told him 5 times in the last week to make sure he replaces the toilet paper roll in the bathroom when he uses the last of it.
I look forward to comparing notes!!
Best Always,

I'm Sherrie; Robert and I have been married for over 19 years and live in Washington State. I WOH full-time but get off work early enough that the children don't have to be in daycare, very nice for us. Sean is 10 (11 in November) and is patiently waiting *wink* for 5th grade to start in the fall. He enjoys school well enough, but is very happy to have the summer off. He would live in front of the TV and the PS2 if allowed, just taking bathroom breaks as nature called (he would definitely want meals delivered to him LOL). Scott is 2½ and firmly enmeshed in the terrific two's. My boys adore each other, though Scott doesn't understand that Sean doesn't always want to play with him. We'll be seeing more and more of that as time goes on, I'm sure.
I look forward to getting to know everyone so much better now.
Best Always,

My name is Denise and I WOH full time but am firtunate enough to ave my Mom watch my kids until DH gets home from work. I am Mom to DD10 (11 on 10/19) and DS6 (7 on 8/29). I also live in suburban Philadelphia, NE of the city. My kids are both very involved in sports and activities so that takes up my free time.
Welcome Sherrie and good luck being a CL!!!

Glad you decided to delurk. That's great that your mom watches the children, daycare is so expensive. Working full-time and having a full schedule of extra curricular activities with the children, is there any free time left in the day ;-)?
I look forward to getting to know you!!

This report explores whether U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is capable of fully complying with the law and managing its sprawling detention system, and provides a roadmap for meeting the data needs essential for making humane, cost-effective, and legally sound decisions related to those in custody.
This report assesses the performance of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over the course of the agency's first six years, examines the effectiveness of the three core immigration agencies within DHS—U.S Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
This report argues that U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement's National Fugitive Operations Program is not operating in accordance with its legislative purpose of improving national security by apprehending dangerous individuals with existing removal orders.
This report closely examines the rapid growth of government appropriations directly targeted to immigration enforcement activities since the passage of the Immigration Control and Reform Act of 1986 (IRCA). Focusing primarily on data between 1985 and 2002, authors highlight trends in the overall immigration enforcement spending as well as in specific activities.
Although federal statute affords "the privilege of being represented," to immigrants in removal proceedings, appointed counsel must be "at no expense to the government." This report analyzes the "no expense" restriction and its effect on case outcomes. It then outlines a number of ways in which legal representation could be increased without significant federal funding.
This report examines the transfer of immigration functions from the former Immigration and Naturalization Service to the newly established Department of Homeland Security and offers an analysis of the Department's progress in its first year of existence toward accomplishing the two purposes for which it was created: (1) to ensure that immigration regulation and control enhances national security; and (2) to improve the performance of both the service and enforcement sides of the immigration system by allocating their respective functions to separate units within DHS.
The events that unfolded in the U.S. on September 11 generated a renewed sense of urgency over border management. Bilateral Smart Border agreements were reached between the U.S. and Canada as well as the U.S. and Mexico in December 2001 and March 2002. This report tracks the implementation of these border accords and seeks to evaluate their effectiveness.
On November 25, 2002, Congress passed the Homeland Security Act, which effectively overhauled the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and called for a massive reorganization of immigration functions under the newly formed Department of Homeland Security (DHS).This report outlines key changes incurred, highlights points of concern and offers policy recommendations aimed at remedying some of these concerns.

Sonia Sotomayor, the US judge nominated by President Barack Obama to be the country's first Hispanic supreme court judge, is facing a senate confirmation hearing.
The senate judiciary committee convened on Monday at 10am (14:00 GMT), with politicians and 31 invited witnesses expected to speak on whether Sotomayor should be granted the lifetime appointment.
Patrick Leahy, a Democrat and the chairman of the committee, urged the panel to focus solely on Sotomayor's career record as the first day of the four-day hearing got under way.
"Let no-one demean this extraordinary woman, her success," and her acheivements, he said.
"She understands that there is not one law for one race or another. There is not one law for one colour or another. There is not one law for rich and a different one for poor. There is only one law." Republican scepticism
If confirmed, the 55-year-old appeals court judge would replace retiring Justice David Souter on the nine-member court, which is the final arbiter of the US constitution.
But Jeff Sessions, the leading Republican senator on the committee, said that Sotomayor still had to convince him that she would be impartial in her interpretation of the law.
"The strategy is to be as thorough as we can in examining her record, what she has said, and to conduct the hearings in a fair, impartial, and thorough way"
Jon Kyl, Republican senator
"In this world, a judge is free to push his or her own political or social agenda."
Sotomayor is due to address the committee later on Monday, and will only face questions from the panel on Tuesday.
Louis Freeh, a former FBI director who mentored Sotomayor, and Linda Chavez, a conservative activist, will also address the committee over the course of the hearing.
Rosalind Jordan, Al Jazeera's US correspondent, said that panel Republicans who are sceptical of Sotomayor's record will have to move carefully, given that she is vying to become the supreme court's first latina judge.
"Congressional elections are about 18 months away and the Republican party, which has been leading much of the criticism about Sotomayor, are facing a lot of difficulties with Latino residents in the United States," she said.
"They took a real beating for fighting immigration reform during the last presidency and they are very concerned that they might lose more congressional seats if they go after Sotomayor in any substantial way."Experts say the Democrats have the 60 senate votes needed to prevent any Republican effort to use delaying tactics to block Sotomayor's nomination.'Equal justice'
Republicans have given one of their 14 witness slots to one of the white firefighters whose claim of racial discrimination in an job application Sotomayor rejected.
The supreme court reversed her ruling in late June.
Senator Jon Kyl, reported to be leading the Republican strategy for the confirmation hearings, told the ABC news channel that Sotomayor would get a fair hearing.
"The strategy is to be as thorough as we can in examining her record, what she has said and to conduct the hearings in a fair, impartial and thorough way - and then make our decisions."
Sotomayor's rise from a poor childhood in the Bronx in New York to the height of US justice mirrors Obama's own ascent to power.
Upon announcing her nomination, Obama declared that Sotomayor could boast a "brilliant legal career" and "the wisdom accumulated from an inspiring life's journey".
If appointed, Sotomayor, would be the second woman currently on the court, alongside Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The PSA Test: How Does It
Who Should Have It Done?
How Accurate Is It?
For over ten years, medical researchers have known about Prostate Specific
Antigen -- PSA -- as a "marker" for prostate cancer. It has only
been in the last several years, however, that testing for this substance
in men's blood has been used to help assess a man's risk for the disease.
According to William
J. Catalona, M.D., Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis,
in a report published recently by the Journal
of the American Medical Association, "An elevated PSA does not mean
the presence of cancer, but rather indicates the presence of prostatic
disease and the need for further evaluation. Cancers smaller than 1 cm
usually do not elevate PSA levels. More than 90 percent of cancers
detected through PSA-based screening have the potential to become clinically
important, judged by their size and grade. The goal of PSA screening,"
he stressed, "should be to detect the cancer before the PSA level rises
above 10 ng/L."
PSA is a protein excreted only by the prostate, a gland located at the
neck of the bladder that surrounds the urethra, the tube through which
urine and sperm exit. The prostate is one of the male sex glands
that works in response to hormones to secrete fluids that help transport
sperm during ejaculation. A healthy prostate is approximately the
size of a walnut and weighs about an ounce.
For most of a man's life, this gland does its job without notice.
Then, somewhere around age 50, the gland suddenly has a growth spurt.
It can become enlarged enough to squeeze the urethra, playing havoc with
a man's ability to urinate.
In most cases, this is caused by a condition called Benign Prostatic
Hyperplasia (BPH) rather than cancer. But, it is during this same
time frame when a man's risk for developing prostate cancer begins increasing.
The disease rarely exhibits any symptoms in its early stages so, by the
time symptoms do appear, the cancer is likely to have already spread into
other parts of the body.
Measuring a man's PSA level involves a simple blood test.
Generally, the higher the level of PSA in the blood, the more likely it
is that prostate cancer will be found. Cancerous prostate tissue
secretes about 10 times as much PSA as normal tissue does. It is
measured in nanograms -- billionths of a gram -- per milliliter of blood.
Levels below 4 ng/mL are considered the upper range of normal. (If
the test turns up more than 10 ng/mL, there is a 67 percent chance that
the man has prostate cancer.)
There are several things other than cancer that can drive the levels
up: prostate enlargement, some medications, infection, or a recent biopsy.
Despite earlier warnings, a digital exam does not provoke additional secretion
of the protein. The drug finasteride (ProscarTM ) -- prescribed for
an enlarged prostate -- can also skew a PSA test by reducing the level.
The change in PSA levels has also turned out to be an important diagnostic
tool to detect the new -- curable -- prostate cancers. Tracking year-to-year
changes in the PSA level can alert the physician that additional tests
may be appropriate.
As pointed out earlier, no single test is absolutely fail-safe in the
detection of prostate cancer. In recent studies, one fourth of men
with mild PSA level elevations (4 to 10 ng/mL) were found to have cancer,
although it sometimes took 2, 3 or even 4 biopsy sessions to diagnose the
cancer through a biopsy; most of them were confined to the prostate.
The other three quarters were false-positive results. There were
also some false-negative cases -- men with cancer that did not elevate
the PSA.
Rates of false-positive PSA screening test results increase with age
since about 10 to 12 percent of all men over the age of 50 have elevated
PSA levels. The test also fails to detect 20 to 40 percent of the
smaller cancers that occur near the rectal surface of the prostate and
can be detected by DRE.
While the results of a number of studies to determine the overall value
of prostate cancer screening are still years away, the American
Cancer Society and the American Urological
Association now recommend PSA testing -- along with a digital rectal
exam -- beginning at age 50, and at age 40 for men in the high risk categories
and those with a strong family history of the disease.
Preliminary studies -- reported in both the New
England Journal of Medicine and the Journal
of the American Medical Association -- found that measuring PSA levels,
when done along with a DRE, increases the chances of detecting PC by about
70 percent, compared to using the DRE alone, and more than doubles the
percentage of cancers that are confined to the prostate at the time of

Heart attackMyocardial infarction; MI; Acute MI; ST-elevation myocardial infarction; Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Most heart attacks are caused by a blood clot that blocks one of the coronary arteries. The coronary arteries bring blood and oxygen to the heart. If the blood flow is blocked, the heart is starved of oxygen and heart cells die.
The medical term for this is myocardial infarction.
A substance called plaque can build up in the walls of your coronary arteries. This plaque is made up of cholesterol and other cells.
A heart attack may occur when:
- A tear in the plaque occurs. This triggers blood platelets and other substances to form a blood a clot at the site that blocks blood from flowing to the heart. This is the most common cause of heart attack.
- A slow buildup of plaque may narrow one of the coronary arteries so that it is almost blocked.
The cause of heart attack is not always known.
Heart attack may occur:
- When you are resting or asleep
- After a sudden increase in physical activity
- When you are active outside in cold weather
- After sudden, severe emotional or physical stress, including an illness
Many risk factors may lead to the development of plaque buildup and a heart attack.
What causes a heart attack?
A. Too much cholesterol that can clog your arteries
B. A blood clot that blocks blood flow to the heart
C. A spasm in an artery that supplies blood to the heart (coronary artery)
D. All of the above
What are risk factors for heart disease and heart attack that you can control?
A. Smoking
B. High blood pressure
C. High cholesterol
D. Not exercising
E. Being overweight or obese
F. Diabetes
G. All of the above
What are the risk factors you can't control?
A. Age
B. Gender
C. Family history
D. Race
E. All of the above
Stress can add to your risk of heart disease.
A. True
B. False
Drinking red wine is a good way to lower my risk for heart disease.
A. True
B. False
You can't miss signs of a heart attack.
A. True
B. False
What are the warning signs of a heart attack?
A. Chest pain or discomfort such as pressure, squeezing, or fullness
B. Discomfort or pain in one or both arms, the jaw, neck, back, or stomach
C. Shortness of breath
D. Cold sweats, nausea, or feeling light-headed
E. All of the above
Women have different heart attack symptoms than men.
A. True
B. False
If you think you are having a heart attack, you should:
A. Drive yourself to the nearest hospital
B. Wait until the pain goes away, then call your doctor
C. Call 9-1-1 right away
D. Take an aspirin and see if it helps
You can prevent a heart attack.
A. Drive yourself to the nearest hospital
B. Wait until the pain goes away, then call your doctor
A heart attack is a medical emergency. If you have symptoms of a heart attack, call 911 or your local emergency number right away.
- DO NOT try to drive yourself to the hospital.
- DO NOT WAIT. You are at greatest risk of sudden death in the early hours of a heart attack.
Chest pain is the most common symptom of a heart attack.
- You may feel the pain in only one part of your body OR
- Pain may move from your chest to your arms, shoulder, neck, teeth, jaw, belly area, or back
The pain can be severe or mild. It can feel like:
- A tight band around the chest
- Bad indigestion
- Something heavy sitting on your chest
- Squeezing or heavy pressure
The pain most often lasts longer than 20 minutes. Rest and a medicine to relax the blood vessels (called nitroglycerin) may not completely relieve the pain of a heart attack. Symptoms may also go away and come back.
Other symptoms of a heart attack can include:
- Anxiety
- Cough
- Fainting
- Light-headedness, dizziness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Palpitations (feeling like your heart is beating too fast or irregularly)
- Shortness of breath
- Sweating, which may be very heavy
Some people (the elderly, people with diabetes, and women) may have little or no chest pain. Or, they may have unusual symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and weakness. A "silent heart attack" is a heart attack with no symptoms.
Exams and Tests
A doctor, nurse or other health care provider will perform a physical exam and listen to your chest using a stethoscope.
- The health professional may hear abnormal sounds in your lungs (called crackles), a heart murmur, or other abnormal sounds.
- You may have a fast or uneven pulse.
- Your blood pressure may be normal, high, or low.
You will have an electrocardiogram (ECG) to look for heart damage. A blood test can show if you have heart tissue damage. This test can confirm that you are having a heart attack.
Coronary angiography may be done right away or when you are more stable.
- This test uses a special dye and x-rays to see how blood flows through your heart.
- It can help your doctor decide which treatments you need next.
Other tests to look at your heart that may be done while you are in the hospital:
- Echocardiography with or with stress testing
- Exercise stress test
- Nuclear stress test
- You will be hooked up to a heart monitor, so the health care team can look at how your heart is beating.
- You will receive oxygen so that your heart doesn't have to work as hard.
- An intravenous line (IV) will be placed into one of your veins. Medicines and fluids pass through this IV.
- You may get nitroglycerin and morphine to help reduce chest pain.
- You may receive aspirin, unless it would not be safe for you. In that case, you will be given another medicine that prevents blood clots.
- Dangerous abnormal heartbeats (arrhythmias) may be treated with medicine or electric shocks.
Angioplasty is a procedure to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels that supply blood to the heart.
- Angioplasty is often the first choice of treatment. It should be done within 90 minutes after you get to the hospital, and usually no later than 12 hours after a heart attack.
- A stent is a small, metal mesh tube that opens up (expands) inside a coronary artery. A stent is often placed after or during angioplasty. It helps prevent the artery from closing up again.
You may be given drugs to break up the clot. It is best if these drugs are given within 3 hours of when you first felt the chest pain. This is called thrombolytic therapy.
Some patients may also have heart bypass surgery to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. This procedure is also called open heart surgery.
After several days, you will be discharged from the hospital.
You will likely need to take medicines, some for the rest of your life. Always talk to your health care provider before stopping or changing how you take any medicines. Stopping certain medications can be deadly.
While under the care of your health care team, you will learn:
- How to take medicines to treat your heart problem and prevent more heart attacks
- How to eat a heart-healthy diet
- How to be active and exercise safely
- What to do when you have chest pain
- How to stop smoking
Strong emotions are common after a heart attack.
- You may feel sad
- You may feel anxious and worry about being careful about everything you do
All of these feelings are normal. They go away for most people after 2 or 3 weeks.
You may also feel tired when you leave the hospital to go home.
Most people who have had a heart attack take part in a cardiac rehabilitation program.
Support Groups
Many people benefit from taking part in support groups for people with heart disease.
Outlook (Prognosis)
After a heart attack, you have a higher chance of having another heart attack.
How well you do after a heart attack depends on several factors such as:
- The damage to your heart muscle and heart valves
- Where that damage is located
- Your medical care after the heart attack
If your heart can no longer pump blood out to your body as well as it used to, you may develop heart failure. Abnormal heart rhythms can occur, and they can be life-threatening.
Most people can slowly go back to normal activities after a heart attack. This includes sexual activity. Talk to your health care provider about how much activity is good for you.

25 August 2010, United Nations, New York – In a meeting today of the United Nations Security Council, the Philippines reiterated its call for greater global cooperation in the fight against piracy off the coast of Somalia and welcomed the report of United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon containing proposals that seek to address this issue.
Citing the particular fact that many Filipino seafarers have suffered at the hands of Somali pirates, Deputy Permanent Representative and Charge d'Affaires Carlos D. Sorreta said "to fight piracy, we believe that broader cooperation is key and it is in this context that we welcome the report of the Secretary-General."
"The security, protection and welfare of Filipino seafarers have always been the primary concerns of the Philippine Government -- concerns which I am sure are shared by others with nationals serving on these ships," Mr. Sorreta told the members of the Security Council.
In calling for greater global action, Mr. Sorreta cited the importance of giving due regard to the victims, saying "beyond ships and cargoes, there is the crew."
"In all, 46 ships with Filipinos as crew have been taken by pirates. Almost five hundred Filipino seafarers have been held hostage," Mr. Sorreta said, adding "Many suffer prolonged captivity, some as long as ten months. It is a testimony to their courage, clear thinking and fortitude that they survive. It is a tribute to their resilience and that of their families that many are able to return to the sea."
Mr. Sorreta also recognized that the root causes of piracy can be found in the current political and security situation in Somalia. "Piracy is a grave threat to international security and we join others in citing the importance of addressing its roots causes through a comprehensive approach. We are grateful to the many countries involved and committed to this task," Mr. Sorreta pointed out.
In his statement, Mr. Sorreta shared the actions being taken by the Philippines, including working with other states, ship owners and manning agencies to ensure the safety of Filipino seafarers.
In closing, Mr. Sorreta said that 81 Filipino seafarers remain in the clutches of Somali pirates and that "we pray for their safe release, and hope that our actions here today will somehow help lead to their freedom and to preventing others from suffering the same fate."
At the same meeting, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and UN Legal Counsel Patricia O'Brian also delivered statements. END.

At 1 a.m. Sunday, Benjamin Fritz, 21, somehow managed to drive his 2010 Nissan Titan across three sets of railroad tracks along Front Street.
Police said Fritz drove north off Oak (five blocks west of Willow) through the chain link fence at the edge of the tracks and directly across three sets of tracks.
The truck somehow crossed the tracks until it reached the fourth set. The front end came apart and when the front hit the track, the truck flipped into the air and landed on its top between the tracks, according to the police report.
The front and side air bags deployed but Fritz was injured and taken to the hospital. The $18,000 truck was totaled. Alcohol is suspected to be a factor, police said.
