If you've been diagnosed with a heart condition or are just generally concerned about your future heart health, you're probably wondering what you can do to avoid having a heart attack. A healthy diet and regular exercise are essential, but there are several tests your doctor can perform to catch potential problems in their early stages.
We recently sat down with Arthur Agatston, MD, a renowned preventive cardiologist and Everyday Health's heart health expert, to learn more about the different tests currently available and what they can — and can't — reveal about the state of your heart.
Everyday Health: Can a sudden heart attack be prevented?
Arthur Agatston, MD: I am constantly discouraged by much of the commentary in the popular press about the inevitability and unpredictability of heart attacks, including sudden death from one. The fact is the vast majority of heart attacks can be prevented. With much more aggressive diagnosis and treatment of early heart disease, we can save tens of thousands of lives every year.
Everyday Health: You always hear stories about people who've recently had a normal stress test and then they die suddenly of a heart attack just a few weeks later. How can this happen?
Dr. Agatston: A stress test is only good at identifying those individuals who have significant blockages in their heart vessels that limit blood flow to their heart muscle at the time of the stress test. It cannot predict an acute plaque rupture, which abruptly blocks blood flow to the heart muscle and can potentially cause a life-threatening heart rhythm that leads to sudden death. Stress tests cannot identify individuals with vulnerable, or "soft," plaques in their vessel walls that are not limiting blood flow at rest or during exertion.
So, having a normal stress test does not mean you're out of the woods. In fact, it's all too common that an asymptomatic individual with a recent, normal stress test dies suddenly from heart attack. Their first symptom is, unfortunately, their last.
Everyday Health: How do soft plaques actually cause a heart attack?
Dr. Agatston: The soft plaques that cause a heart attack begin and grow like little pimples embedded just under the inner lining of the blood vessel walls. But instead of pus, these soft plaques are filled with cholesterol and other fats. I like to refer to these plaques as "ticking time bombs," because when they explode or rupture they cause injury to the vessel wall. After the rupture, the healing process begins when a blood clot forms at the site of the injury (just as it would if you cut your hand). If the blood clot is large enough, it can suddenly and completely block blood flow to the heart muscle, causing a heart attack that can also lead to sudden death.
What most people don't realize, however, is that the majority of these plaque explosions don't cause heart attacks and in fact don't cause chest pains or other obvious symptoms. Instead, the injury from the rupture heals over silently as the body dispatches calcium and other substances to form a scar that eventually becomes calcified.
Everyday Health: Can these calcifications cause problems? Is there any test that shows how much calcification you have?
Dr. Agatston: Yes. The single best test for identifying these "healed" plaque ruptures, often years before a heart attack, is a heart scan that yields what is called a "calcium score." The higher your score [the scanned image of your heart is converted to a number ranging from 0 to several thousand] compared to others of your age and sex, the more calcified plaque you have in your arteries and the greater your risk for a future heart attack. Calcium buildup, or this calcification and scarring, is part of the disease process — and it is why atherosclerosis is sometimes called "hardening" of the arteries.
A CT heart scan with a calcium score is a quick, easy, accurate, noninvasive, and painless procedure. This test should not, however, be confused with the more expensive and time-consuming CT angiogram. The CT angiogram involves an intravenous dye injection and more radiation than the calcium scan. Though a CT angiogram can be useful in identifying soft, non-calcified plaques, it has unfortunately been used inappropriately at times to find asymptomatic blockages, which can then lead to unnecessary invasive procedures, including bypass surgery.
What's ironic is that even though the CT calcium scan is less expensive than other screening tests, such as the conventional mammogram or colonoscopy, it has not been generally reimbursed by insurance companies, even though research shows it can be very helpful for prevention purposes.
Everyday Health: What is the evidence that a CT calcium scan is a useful test?
Dr. Agatston: More than 1,000 studies, including the large National Institutes of Health-sponsored MESA Study (Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis), have created a mountain of evidence indicating that the coronary calcium score is the best single predictor of a future heart attack. If you are a person prone to building up plaque, we can detect and quantify it early on with this test and begin to halt and even reverse the progression of atherosclerotic blockages.
Everyday Health: Who should have a heart scan?
Dr. Agatston: I support the SHAPE (Society for Heart Attack Prevention and Eradication) Task Force recommendations that advise all asymptomatic men 45 to 75 years old and women 55 to 75 years old (except for those at very low risk) undergo a CT calcium scan for hidden coronary artery disease, with the treatment determined by the actual amount of disease individuals have, rather than by risk factors alone.
It is important to know that calcium scores accurately reflect the amount of atherosclerosis present in heart vessels. As I noted earlier, the greater an individual's calcium score, the greater his or her risk of having a heart attack. And the sooner a person knows this, the better, particularly if there is a family history of heart disease or other risk factors.
Tim Russert's case is a prominent example of heart attack that might have been prevented. Russert, who died in 2008 at the age of 58, had a calcium score of 210 when he was 48 years old. This meant he had more calcified plaque than 95 percent of men his age and was indeed at very high risk for a future heart attack. Had he only had a score of 5, his risk would have been far less. Moreover, if he had had follow-ups scans, it would have been evident that his heart disease was not being treated adequately.
Everyday Health: There is some controversy about the usefulness of the calcium score. Why?
Dr. Agatston: The naysayers complain that there is no evidence from randomized clinical trials that noninvasive screening for hidden disease will ultimately reduce the number of heart attacks. This criticism ignores the fact that to perform such a clinical trial would mean withholding preventive treatment to many participating patients who were found to have high calcium scores. Doing so would simply be unethical, given the totality of evidence demonstrating the risk of having accumulated significant coronary calcium. In fact, no informed patient would give their consent to enroll in such a study.
Everyday Health: What if you find disease on a heart scan? What then?
Dr. Agatston: Once heart disease is identified, advanced blood tests that go beyond conventional cholesterol testing can determine the causes of the plaque buildup and the best treatments to halt its progression. Such tests include the hs-CRP test, which measures C-reactive protein, a particle that when elevated signifies inflammation, as well as genetic testing. With this information, treatment can be cost-effectively tailored to each individual and would typically include lifestyle changes (such as diet, exercise, and stress reduction), medications, or all of these. In addition, if a person has signs of calcium buildup, a follow-up scan should be done every 2 to 5 years, depending on other risk factors. One of the best-kept secrets in this country is that doctors who are employing the prevention strategy of advanced testing and aggressive treatment have been seeing heart attacks all but disappear from our practices.
Everyday Health: What can we do to minimize our chance of sudden death from heart attack?
Dr. Agatston: Besides getting the correct tests and taking medications, such as statins and/or insulin sensitizers [for diabetes], as prescribed, the most important step people can take to minimize their risk of heart attack and sudden death is to engage in a healthy lifestyle. First, that means shedding any extra pounds. We now know that extra weight itself is a major risk factor for heart disease and heart attack. For those with prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome [typically indicated by increased waist circumference, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, low HDL, and a mildly elevated blood sugar], it is especially important to make lifestyle changes — particularly with diet and exercise — to reduce the risk of heart attack.
Everyday Health: Do you have anything else to add?
Dr. Agatston: Well, the sad fact is that more than 300,000 Americans die suddenly each year — and the vast majority of these deaths are due to silent coronary artery disease. This unfortunate loss of life is not due to our inability to either diagnose or prevent this killer disease. Rather, it results from the outdated approach that still defines the standard of cardiac care in this country. The current approach entails relying on conventional risk factors [such as blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and smoking and exercise stress tests to determine who is at risk of a heart attack. But using these assessment methods alone fails to identify many high-risk individuals.
The bottom line is that, as a country, we must change our approach to diagnosing heart disease. The status quo is unacceptable. The CT calcium score is a test that is noninvasive, painless, and relatively inexpensive that can accurately identify early disease. To delay the use of this test on a more widespread basis while waiting for more evidence is to sentence millions more people to early deaths from America's number one killer. I hope under the new administration prevention will have a much higher priority.

How's it going fellas? I currently throw Video Game Tournaments for Madden and am looking to branch out and do other games such as SF4. I am located in the Philadelphia area. I am looking forward to getting it started up here in Philadelphia. Now the tournaments are not for me, so tell me what you guys are looking for in a tournament? For my Madden tournaments, I average a payout of $1000 to the winner. I know SF4 is bigger than Madden, so I am hoping to give you guys much more money than that. How many guys here are from the Philadelphia area or surrounding areas? Unlike most tournament directors, I DO NOT put a cap on how much money can be won.

Why Does it Rain?
Why Does it Rain?
The warm air moves the water from rivers, oceans, and lakes into up above the sky as water vapor. The water vapor rises up into the air and form dense clouds. The clouds consist of water droplets or crystals of ice. The clouds move high up in the air. As it goes on rising in the air the surrounding air to the cloud becomes cooler. Gradually the water droplets held up in the clouds start becoming denser and at one stage become too much heavy. The dense cloud tends to fall down as rain.
Not every cloud will result in rain. The tiny water droplets that are not heavy enough will get moved away by the heavy air currents or they stay in the air floating. If it has to rain the cloud should possess denser water droplets. To become denser many small drops will combine to become larger droplets. The other way of formation of large drops would be direct condensation of water vapor in the air. In this way the size of the drop grows larger rapidly. As they keep growing, several large droplets do not remain as such in the cloud for long time and tend to fall down as rain.
When the air is cooled it will lose the capacity to bear water vapor and hence get converted into water drops. So in order to create rain basically air has to get cooled very much. To cool the air and create rain there are three ways for it to happen. According to the process of rising up of warm air as mentioned above convectional rains occur mostly in summer. The other type of rainfall is frontal rain which happens when warm air and cool air come in contact and condense later to help in rainfall. Other type is called relief rain which is caused due to obstructions like mountains. As the warm air touches the hills it gets cooler and form clouds which can result in rainfall. In any of the three ways, clouds condense to give rain.

I am looking for a shiny hardwired, electric towel warmer powerful enough to provide some heat in the room, that is relatively wide and squat. It's been two days now that I have been scraping the corners of the web and it seems like they are all tall ... I've looked at Runtal, Myson, and others with no luck. Ideally it would be 19 inches or less tall and 50-60 inches wide (I have more flexibility with the length). The window is 32 inches above the floor, but once you count baseboard and sill, I have 19 inches to play with.... argh. I was hoping to stay away from floor mounted. Anyone have any suggestions? |

I suspect it's hard to find because, once you mount the towel warmer on the wall, it's only 12" off the floor which isn't much space to hang a towel. Mine is the size of a bath towel folded in half, so when I hang the towel, it gets the whole thing warm. In my mother's old bathroom she had a wall hung electric heater and her regular towel bar was over it...it kept any towels she hung on the bar nice and toasty. |
This company has some pretty small ones. I thought perhaps the swivel ones might work, if you could mount beside the window (the mounting piece is larger than your space) but the warmer bars then swivel into place under the window. But they also have custom made ones. |

HP: Down, But Prepping For A Comeback
HP is still the world leader in terms of server revenue at $2.9 billion despite a 14.8 percent drop in sales over last year, IDC said.
The drop in server sales stemmed from weak demand for HP's Gen8 servers as well as continued weakness in its Itanium-based server business. That Itanium weakness was a big factor in the overall drop in Unix servers.
However, HP is still the leading vendor of x86-based servers and blade servers.
In addition, HP CEO Meg Whitman has committed her company to win against Dell in the server market.

10 hours 55 min ago | As a sort of tangent, these |
As a sort of tangent, these 5th year transfers are one of the reasons why I am not as bothered by the burning of redshirts as some other people are. I mean I understand that some of the recent redshirts were burned for little in return and those may not have been wise. Some folks like many OL should redshirt. But with the 5th year transfer rule, you're also potentially risking losing whatever first year production you get from a player by banking it for that 5th year when the player can easily choose not be around. Not just in terms of contributing during games, but as far as leadership or being another practice player too. Redshirts still have value but it is less than it used to be now that 5th years are no longer under "team control". |

Accountability is mentioned and yet the email itself has very little of it.

1 week 5 days ago | Yep, the 2003 team was great |
Yep, the 2003 team was great and very talented. Better than the 2004 team IMO. 2003 outscored opponents by 255 points in regular season (+21 ppg) while 2004 won a lot of close games and only outscored opponents by 92 points (+8 ppg) during the regular season. That's two TDs/game better, pretty big difference. Atrocious special teams and occasional turnovers were the cause of losses against Oregon and Iowa that we definitely should have won. USC outclassed us but USC was clearly the best team that year and was robbed by not getting to play an LSU team that they would have killed. The 2001 team was much different. Defense was quite good and the offense was just meh. Although they lost close games in a similar way to 2003, the level of competition was much worse as the B1G inferior to that of 2003. OSU was crappy in their first year until Tressel, PSU sucked and fricking Illinois won the confernce. And we just did not have the level of QB play as well as the playmakers at skill positions in 2001. Senior Navarre was so much better than sophomore Navarre. Love Marquise Walker but him + Ronald Bellamy + BJ Askew <<<< Braylon + Breaston + Avant + Chris Perry. |
1 week 5 days ago | It remains to be seen whether |
It remains to be seen whether or not they turn into a dynasty. That's premature. Sure, maybe a little bit over the top but it is also a reflection of people being enthusiastic about their team and hoping that the success can be sustained. Professional sports fans are starved for success around here. And while I am somewhat skeptical that anyone can have a dynasty given the parity in the NFL, the Seahawks are relatively young and have a lot of players under reasonable contracts. It will get tricky when they have to pay Wilson but they are still well positioned for the long-term. Especially in a league where the best quarterbacks of their generation are aging: Brees is 35, Brady is 37, Manning is 38. I guess to each his own. I don't see anything resembling the Red Sox fans and outside of Seattle you don't see people biting on the Seahawks the way that they do the Red Sox/Yankees/Cowboys etc. The 12th fan I suppose may seem cheesy from the outside but the fans take pride in being the loudest stadium in the NFL and the high level of fan support. Not the worst thing in the world. Some of it is bandwagony, but it's that way everywhere. And it's an on-going thing that has been around a long time. They retired the 12 jersey in 1984 and it's been A Thing since well before the Hawks were good. It just wasn't noticed nationally because the team was not as prominent. |

Yeah, that's really annoying. I mean, it's ridiculous that a town be really excited about a team that won the Super Bowl. Especially a town that has a baseball team that hasn't made the World Series in its 40 years of existence, had a basketball team get sold and moved, and a football team that was was really bad for the first 25 years of its existence finally wins its first Super Bowl. So obnoxious. No other city's fans would ever be insufferable after winning a championship! |

3 weeks 5 days ago | Re: talent |
The roster distribution is really messed up right now. Early departures are the primary cause but Beilein has also tried to compensate with a quantitative solution of throwing bodies at the problem and hoping that some of these Plan C guys stick, because the qualitative response of bringing in high level freshman did not pan out in 14 and 15 classes. Hence those last minute fliers on guys like MAAR, Dawkins and Robinson. As it stands right now, you have 7 or 8 guys who will be sophomores next year, depending on Wilson. And Wilson probably won't get a 5th year anyway as project big men who are minor contributors dont tend to get offered a 5th year. Robinson effectively has the same eligibility as those '14 recruits since he'll be a sophomore next year. There's just no way that you can keep all 8 of those guys all the way through 17-18 season. You can't have 8 of 13 guys in the same eligibility class, especially when none of them are particularly talented (Robinson may be a good shooter but if he were really talented he wouldn't have been in D3). Not saying that they'll be pushed out the door but the program will need some of those guys to leave and free up scholarships. Not worth worrying about too much, these things tend to work themselves out. A few guys will transfer because of playing time or whatever and there are always injuries or guys who decide they don't want to continue with basketball. |
3 weeks 6 days ago | Re: uhh |
Part of the problem is that they are young and trying to find their way. The even bigger problem is that they are just not that talented. Even worse, they are not talented and not big or long. This is a team of role players, or guys who can develop into role players. Not guys with a high ceiling. Nice kids I would assume and they'll develop into decent or even solid players with time. But after striking out on most of our primary recruiting targets in 14 and 15, and not getting a quality big in 13 (sorry Donnal), you have to be seriously concerned for the future. We have what amounts to an 8 man 2014 class once you throw in Donnal and Robinson since they will have the same eligibility. And there really is not too much skill or athleticism amongst those 8. Beilein can coach and I have no doubt he can turn these guys into an 9 seed at 21-12/10-8 or something like that by next year. But talent matters too, especially if we are gonna talk about conference championships or Final Fours, it's gonna take some better players. Don't see much out of this 14 group and the 15 recruiting looks like it is headed for a flameout too. It's an absolute necessity that we bring in some serious talent in 16 class. |

Yep. Additional background: http://www.csnphilly.com/football-philadelphia-eagles/eagles-front-offic... http://www.nj.com/eagles/index.ssf/2014/12/firing_of_tom_gamble_a_win_fo... The 49ers are certainly the most attractive job open if Kelly were to get out of Philly, which is a bit ironic since this situation sounds fairly similar to what happened there with a front office schism. |
4 weeks 4 days ago | CA/MI |
CA does have a higher state income tax but the numbers aren't even close to that. Marginal rate above ~ half a million is 12.3% so about 3x that of Michigan. Still, 8% of $8MM is only $640 so if you gross that up $750M or so you wind up at about the same after tax number. Of course, there may be ways around those taxes...but that's another topic. Even at $9 million in CA your after tax income is above $8 millon in MI. Where the Bay Area is much worse is the cost of housing. It varies a bit by where you are but if you want a baller mansion, especially in SF you would pay way more than you would in Ann Arbor. I mean even general housing in SF is what, maybe 4 times the price of what it would be in Ann Arbor. I mean you can go East Bay or somewhere way out or whatever but you'll pay in one form or another. |

17 weeks 2 days ago | Re: Hoke |
Why shouldn't the Regents fire a head coach? Particularly in a situation in which the A.D. has just been relieved of his duties? Certainly, firing him for his shortcomings as a football coach is a matter that should be handled by the A.D. through normal performance review processes. But compromising the integrity and the reputation of the school/program and endangering player safety are plenty of cause to intervene. I'd argue the failure to act would be a breach of their duty if you believe that Hoke has compromised the school's integrity. Also, the head coach falls under the A.D. in some org chart but for practical purposes he is one of the leading public figures at Michigan and when his conduct is so poor that he and the University are under intense scrutiny by mainstream media then the situation has risen to a Board level issue. |
17 weeks 5 days ago | Brandon |
This one is pretty much entirely on Hoke. Hoke is toast and for all of his flaws, Brandon is aware of how this plays out for Hoke. I wouldn't expect Brandon to do anything except to try to save his own ass at this point. That means talking to the $ men/regents/presidents and finding out if it is viable to let Hoke finish the season before letting him go. Brandon will be reactive rather than proactive and make his decision based on what the other stakeholders force him to do. Brandon is nothing if not a man of practicality rather than principal. His play is probably to let Hoke stand up and take the heat, tell Hoke to apologize for making a mistake, have Hoke talk about how much he cares about his players and continue his pathetic claim of ignorance that Morris had a head injury. Hoke will claim he was aware of Morris' leg injury but did not see the concussion symptoms. It's not a credible position; but the alternative is to admit that he knowingly threw Morris back in the came after sustaining and that admission would have to result in a firing (or indefinite suspension that ends in a firing). So Hoke stills to his incompetence over negligence excuse. Brandon will also announce new policies regarding concussion processes and player protection and instigate an investigation. The results of the investigation will be released at some indistinct later date after the furor has died down. It will be done by press release rather than a press conference. Or...if you want to be more cynical...Brandon throws Hoke under the bus. This makes Brandon look, to outsiders, like he is taking a strong ethical stand on player safety. It also allows him to put in motion the search for a permanent replacement immediately while he is still employed as the athletic director. Thereby making it a bit more difficult for the Regents to fire him. Harder to fire the guy who "protected the players." and makes it more difficult to have a schedule that would require going through an AD search process prior to conducting the coaching search process. Thereby he retains decision making power over who the next coach is to the greatest extent possible. Maybe. He might still get shit canned too. But it's less likely than it would be if he sticks with Hoke. It's at least one way to play it. Every man for himself as this ship sinks quickly. |
18 weeks 6 days ago | Re: Hoke |
The part about coming to us in our hour of need and taking the job without taking about the money is a pretty generous way to describe it. Sorry, the guy did not bring us puppies and hugs after grandma died or even help us move a couch. He took a job that was a vastly superior position in his profession to the one he held previously. His new job paid millions of dollars more per year than his old one. I don't doubt that it is his dream job or that he is a decent enough person but his choice to take the choice was hardly some charitable or magnanimous act. It was a no-brainer career decision. He was the head coach at fricking San Diego State. I mean, come on. As far as the money, he was always gonna get paid a shit ton of money at Michigan and a hell of a lot more than he made at San Diego State. He is making $4.1 million this year. I mean, even if we assume that "aw shucks I didn't agree to the salary before taking the job" story is true, everyone involved knew at the least that he was gonna make a lot more bank than the $700k/year that San Diego State was paying him. So yeah, maybe he took the job without knowing whether he was gonna make 4 times what he made before or 5 time or 6 times. But everyone knew it was a raise that was gonna mean at least an extra million per year. I don't really think it sucks all that much for him. He got to have his dream job for four years. He had tons of resources at his disposal to have an opportunity to succeed. He got paid, enough to never work again if he chooses. He'll be fired and that's that but overall getting his shot and $$$ is really not such a bad outcome. I am vastly more sympathetic to the players who have to go through more turmoil and to the current students who are increasly disconnected from the football program due to the emphasis on $ over loyalty and the lack of on-field success. Whatever. Hopefully they get the next hire right and that it doesnt drag out like The Process. |
20 weeks 5 days ago | Not sure that one bad year |
Not sure that one bad year actually constitutes a failure. Carroll was fired because his team finished the season poorly after starting 6-5. OK. But one season is a pretty short leash and limited data. Also, when you consider that that was a mediocre roster that went 4-28 over the next two years after Carroll, I'm not sure that one 6-10 season looks so bad. |

1 year 38 weeks ago | Stonum |
You give a guy a second chance, not because you necessarily expect him to take advantage of it, but because helping college age men grow into productive adults who are responsible, learn from their mistakes, and don't have problems with drugs/alcohol is important. It's too bad that Stonum didn't take advantage but it was still a worthwhile risk to take even if it didn't work out. There are limits to what you can do, of course, but giving up on a person too soon can also be a missed opportunity to help someone. I thought Hoke handled that one just fine. Ditto Hagerup. Opportunities to come back but a severe season long punishment sounds right to me. |
1 year 38 weeks ago | Recruiting |
As a side note, this leaves us with one less scholarship for this class since Hagerup effectively becomes a redshirt junior for 2013 rather than a senior and will now be on the 2014 roster. Assuming that he does not screw up again and that he is retaining his scholarship status. |
1 year 38 weeks ago | Phones |
I understand it is crazy to text/call during an interview. But I'm not about to leave my $500 phone with all sorts of info and data on it in my car when there are hundreds of thousands (or millions?) of phones being stolen every year in this country. Employers expect you to protect their property, proprietary and sensitive info and in fact my employer has policies about phones and laptops. For example, if I leave my hotel room to go eat dinner I am supposed to have my laptop attached by a security cable or in a safe to protect it. In turn, I am going to protect my property and data and keep my phone in my pocket where it is more secure than it is in my car. Of course it will be turned off and unused during an interview. |

It's pretty clear that regardless of whether the Mastrov/Ranadine group or the Hansen group winds up owning the team it is going to be sold. Neither the Maloofs nor their front office is going to have anything to do with that team for much longer so that is not a concern at all. But yeah, the players on the team are not an ideal group to be around for Trey. |
1 year 39 weeks ago | OSU |
I'm not sure how they are going to score at an efficient clip. I mean they will be a good team and maybe a great defensive team but without Thomas they don't really have too many guys who can score much on their own. We'll see. Maybe Ross steps it up. Or perhaps Scott or Thompson. I think most folks will have MSU, U of M and Indiana predicted ahead of them anyway. Iowa is debateable I guess but I like them a lot for next year. They return basically everybody and they lost a lot of close games this year, 7 games by 4 points or less so they may have been better than their record indicated. Kenpom even has them finishing as #23 with their NIT run. |

I would imagine the preseason polls will have the B1G order as something like: MSU Michigan Indiana Iowa Ohio State Wisconsin Purdue Minnesota Illinois PSU Nebraska NW |
1 year 39 weeks ago | Frequency... |
That's not really true. If you play 8 games with a 14 team league then you play 6 division and 2 non-division games every year. Which means that you do play every single team every 3.5 years so with a 4 year player's career they would see every other school. The only way you don't see all of the other teams in 4 years if you repeat home and away with schools over 3 years rather than just playing one or the other and then playing different schools the next year. It is true that you would not travel to other schools during each players career you wind up only playing 4 road games against those 7 teams in 4 years so they never get to visit 3 of those other 7 schools. Though I can't think of a reason that not visiting another campus really matters as they don't do much more than play and hang out at the hotel on road trips. |
1 year 39 weeks ago | Each team... |
That doesn't quite add up. We play 3 games a year against the other division so 63 games in 21 years. You have us only playing 61 games. Let's see, from the Purdue perspective they play only 2 games each year against the other 6 teams in the other division [since 1 of their 3 non-division games is tied to Indiana]. So 1 in 3 years we will be playing against Purdue so 7 in 21 years. But there are two leftover games. I believe that just means that we will play 9 against 4 of those teams in a 21 year cycle and 10 against 2 of those teams. I think the way it will work is that they schedule out Purdue and Indiana in 3 year cycles and then repeat with the home games flipped away. Then you start filling in the other teams randomly or whatever but because of the Purdue Indiana thing you will start to repeat 2 of the 3 teams that you played in Year 1 in Year 3 but will not see the 4th team that you played in Year 1 until Year 4. I think. Might have to fire up Excel to verify but expansion will change it again anyway. The actual frequency of playing each of the other 6 teams should be 4/9ths of every years. Take 6 teams * (4/9) = 24/9 + (3/9)ths for Purdue = 27/9 = 3 games a year. So it is like a 9 year cycle. Or really an 18 year cycle if you count home and away in even quantities. I think. We play Purdue 6 times in 18 years and play the other 6 teams 8 times in 18 years. That adds up. So a home game against Purdue every 6 years and a home game against Nebraska (or the other teams) every 4.5 years. |

The Card
Having a look at the card itself, it's clear that MSI have really mixed it up. We've got a cooler that carries with it two fans and a really nice aluminum face that not only looks great, but feels of great quality as well.
If we look carefully we can see the heat pipes that come out the bottom of the cooler and work through a number of heatsinks that are also seen behind the fans. As fancy as the cooler looks, though, it will be interesting to see what kind of performance it offers. Before we find out the numbers, though, let's have a closer look at the card.
Looking around the card, there isn't anything too out of the ordinary. At the back of the card we have two 6-pin PCI-E connectors along with a little white one that's used in conjunction with the S/PDIF loopback cable to get sound through the HDMI port. Closer to the front of the card we have two SLI connectors which gives us the ability to run up to three of these cards together.
In the I/O department we can see that the company has mixed it up a bit. Across the top we have the MSI logo which looks pretty cool, while below that we have a standard Dual-Link DVI connector. We also see there is a VGA port to the right and a native HDMI port to the left.
As we've already mentioned, MSI has taken the time to overclock the card out of the box. And if you're not interested in hooking up the touch panel, you'll be glad to know that you'll still get some decent MHz out of the card.
We can see that the core has been bumped to 655MHz from the stock 576MHz. This has in turn bumped the shader up to 1404MHz from the stock 1242MHz. The 1792MB of GDDR3 memory which is double the standard amount has been left at 1998MHz. If you hit the game mode on the AirForce panel, clocks start heading north with the core jumping to 680MHz and the memory to 2100MHz DDR.

Consumer Affairs Office Teams With Notaries To Further Combat Identity Theft
Director Lindstrom Urges Professionals to Prevent & Detect Costly Crime
"Whether large or small, personal or commercial, these transactions require the review of assets, credit lines and bank statements. The National Notary Association recognizes that its membership safeguards the public interest and needs the tools to play a key role in monitoring this particular avenue for fraud and identity theft," said Director Lindstrom.
At the NNA's Identity Theft Symposium in Boston on April 1, Lindstrom will discuss joint efforts with the Registry of Motor Vehicles to urge consumers to protect themselves from identity theft by renewing driver's licenses with randomly assigned numbers instead of using social security numbers.
"Last August, only 46% of our drivers had converted their licenses to a randomly assigned number. Since then, close to 250-thousand more drivers have made the switch. We know the social security number is the master key for identity thieves and we're encouraged that more and more of our drivers are closing-down access to it through the most commonly used form of identification," Lindstrom said.
Director Lindstrom noted that inquiries to the Consumer Affairs Hotline regarding identity theft continue to rise substantially as more sophisticated methods for stealing personal data and instances of corporate database hacking are on the rise and generating concern nationally.
"At both the federal and state levels, we need to better safeguard our consumers' privacy and identities from points of purchase on up to database storage and information trading," added Lindstrom.

They don't actually drain out of the bag they are open from the center pocket into the side pockets.
I never noticed them on my S19, but my S25 has them as well.
Synapse 25 (Steel Dyneema/UV), Organizer Pouches ( Dyneema, Cordura, Cork - various size & colors), FoJ Pouch, FoT Pouch, 2011 TB Mystery gift(Cork pouch), 2012 Mystery Gift (Forest/ Steel) Pocket Pouch, Sm Yarn Stuff Sack (UV), Small Shop Bag (Steel), Large Shop Bag (UV), Various Color Key Straps, Side Effect (Steel Dyneema/Wasabi)
I think the 'holes' are ports to pass through tubing for a water reservoir/bladder that would be housed in the bottle pocket.
Mine has two tiny holes, too. At first I thought it was a flaw, but they seem too symmetrical to be so. I am curious as to their function!
Apparently my Synapse 19 has them too. hmm
Last edited by Rocks; 07-11-2013 at 03:34 PM. Reason: upon further review
Glad you brought this up. Those small gaps you both noticed in the side pockets are actually necessitated by the constructions process. Because the pockets of the Synapse 25 have some pretty radical curves, it's nearly impossible to sew them-- those small gaps in the extreme corners of the vertical pocket dividers are a small compromise with the real-world of manufacturing things. They're neither flaws in the design nor the construction.
To be brief: they're supposed to be there. :)

Thanks Beau! That's cool information to know. I feel like an insider!
Though I'm a little disappointed they're not wormholes or rifts in the space/time continuum.
Last edited by Rocks; 07-11-2013 at 05:00 PM.
Thank you for the explanation. The symmetry of the holes suggested this was by design, but it certainly feels better to get confirmation of my suspicion.
Hi Beau,
Other than the gaps that's part of the design, I spotted a couple more holes beside it. About the size of the tip of the pen. What's it for? Some sort of marker?

There are many, many reasons why we feel we can't do something. We know two that come from inside: fear of changing who we are and fear of failure. What's one of the big ones? Come on, you know this. Money. Right now you're probably thinking you can't afford to do the thing that will make you truly deeply satisfied. Not only that, you can't afford to be able to afford it. You can't take time away from this, you can't save on that. Think about what you're saying, you can't afford to be able to afford the thing you most crave and need?
I don't believe it. I think you can't afford not to. You can't afford to spend your life going from sleep to work to home to sleep to work to home over and over again. Isn't there something in your life that you don't need to afford? Seriously, did you have to afford that new suit you saw last week? Did you have to afford that new cell phone that everybody thinks is so cool? Your balance sheet needs to take into account a longer term than just the end of the month. If you want to live an utmost life, you can't afford not to learn new things. You can't afford not to do new things, to be new things. You'll never make a better investment.
My first experience at finding money to satisfy a hunger came after chasing an ice cream vendor on a hot summer day. As soon as my friends heard the music of the truck, they shouted, "Ice cream, let's go!" I pedaled my bike as fast as the rest of them, even though I wasn't sure where we were going or what all the excitement was about.
When I saw those rainbow-colored Popsicles, chocolate fudge bars, and ice cream sandwiches painted on the side of the truck, my eyes grew as big as silver dollars. But then I realized I was going to need a dollar to buy one of the frozen treats my friends were already slurping. I didn't have a dollar. I watched as each of my friends reached in his pocket for the coins he needed to pay the ice cream man. Suddenly, all eyes were on me. "What are you going to have, Tim?"
I fumbled for an excuse. "I … I'm going to eat soon, so I'm not going to get anything right now." Everyone believed me-or, come to think of it, I suppose no one really cared why I wasn't having any-but that day changed my life. Acting casual, I asked a few questions and I learned that my friends all had money in their pockets because of something I had never heard of-an allowance. One of my friends said, "Yeah, I have to do things around the house every day, but then my parents give me spending money for the week."
All this time I'd been ignorant, but now I knew that I was on to something that could be a very good deal for me. Since then, I have learned that money is never the problem-the only problem comes when you don't think there is a way to get it. Believe that you can do it. Use your imagination, focus, and courage, and you will get it. Soon you will know it will come.
There are ways to earn money, ways to save money, and ways to get money. I can't tell you how many millionaires borrowed money to start the thing that made them rich, famous, or just fulfilled. Money can be a real obstacle, not just an excuse, but it is an obstacle that can always be overcome.

Ohio State University says it would offer additional financial aid and emergency loans to students and their families dealing with increased economic hardships.
During the past week many democrats have switched sides in support of the presumptive democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. Senator Sherrod Brown, who remained neutral throughout the primary season, has made his endorsement.
Many Central Ohio commuters are turning to public transportation to ease the pain of rising gas prices. So far this year, the Central Ohio Transit Authority reports a 7.6 percent passenger increase compared to last year. And in the last couple months, COTA ridership has jumped by double digits.
Higher fuel prices are driving more people to choose vehicles that get higher gas mileage. And car makers – including Honda in Marysville – are scrambling to keep up. The factory shut down production Thrusday and Friday to adjust inventory levels.
As vacation season approaches, many travelers may be factoring high gas prices into their plans. That could be good news for Ohio's 38 billion dollar tourism industry. Ohio hotel operators and state officials expect the gas prices to keep some Ohioans closer to home this summer.
Graduation is approaching for many college seniors and these students are learning the challenges of joining the job market. Many students in this situation may be familiar with career fairs. It's when big company recruiters talk with graduating seniors. But Otterbein College hosted a different kind of career fair Thursday. The big business executives were replaced by leaders of not-for-profit organizations.
The Columbus Symphony has canceled its popular summer series and will suspend operations June 1. While the symphony is legally obligated to pay the musicians until the end August, officials say there is not enough money.
Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman says he wants to bring international bio-technology companies into the city. Coleman recently returned from a trade trip in Israel and he spoke downtown about he plans to bring Israeli companies into the Central Ohio economy.
A state audit says the district cannot properly account for nearly a million dollars in grant money. The report also shows that Columbus City Schools has failed to correct past financial problems.

Wow that's an amazing story. I would figure that would be one of the last uses of horses in military service. Seeing Korea as mountainous, jeeps wouldn't do well.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. - Sir Winston Churchill Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. - General George S. Patton Sr.
Last use of horses, huh? Did you miss the statue that was dedicated in NYC to these folks? US Army, Special Forces, Northern Alliance, Afghanistan.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
I'm always amazed by the animals we live with. Horses have been used throughout the ages for battles of all kinds. They are instinctively brave character is truly unbeleivable. The way this horse served in battle is worth all the honor it deserves. Thanks for posting!
Remember the battle of Athens, TN! "Work as if you were to live 100 Years, Pray as if you were to die To-morrow." --Benjamin Franklin
wht is really amazing is horses are prey animals with millions of years of being hunted yet they go to war with us.
This might be a good time to remind everyone of the Steven Spielburg movie entitled, "War Horse" from a couple of years ago. I went to see it & thoroughly enjoyed it......wish it were out on home video, as I'd buy a DVD. Great testament to how horses have served us thru the centuries. And don't forget "Secretariat". THAT is a thrill to watch as well!. jd45

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Secretary of State Gwadosky Announces Outcome of AUGUSTA , MAINE Secretary of State Dan A. Gwadosky has announced that the recount of House District 53's Republican Primary Election between Billie G. Willard and Heather B. Beasley was completed Wednesday afternoon at the Maine State Police Crime Lab in Augusta . As a result of the recount, which was conducted under the supervision of staff from the Department of the Secretary of State, Billie Willard remained the winner. Her recount vote total was 410. Her vote total on Election Day was 413. Heather Beasley's recount vote total was 370. Her Election Day vote total was 382. Both candidates signed off on the outcome of Wednesday's recount. Recounts are vital to the health and vitality of our democracy. They depend on the involvement and effort of many individuals. I want to thank the candidates and their representatives, as well as election officials and the Maine State Police, for the role they play in conducting thorough and professional recounts, Secretary Gwadosky commented. As required by Maine law, all ballots are sealed in special security containers in each community on election night. The State Police then collects all ballot boxes from each community involved in a recount. They are stored in a secure State Police facility until the time of the recount, which is conducted at the Maine State Police Crime Lab in Augusta . During a recount, representatives for each candidate and staff members of the state's Elections Division manually review each ballot to determine if the initial tabulation in the election was correct. The candidates may revise the election results based on the recount and by their mutual agreement. A candidate who requests and receives a recount may withdraw from the recount, thus ending the process, at any time while the recount shows that candidate did not win the election. If, however, the candidate requesting the recount overtakes and passes the candidate who initially appeared to win the election, the candidate requesting the recount may not withdraw the request. If a recount produces enough disputed ballots to affect the outcome of the election, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court shall review the disputed ballots. The last of six scheduled recounts will take place Thursday, June 24 th , beginning at 10:00 a.m. at the Maine State Police Crime Lab in Augusta . Uncontested Democratic Primary write-in candidate Kim M. Bagley requested a recount of ballots in Senate District 29. Her vote total on Election Day was 173; a minimum of 200 votes was required for placement on the General Election ballot in November. |

Giant robots on a tiny screen? How unthinkably farcical!
From Software managed to see beyond this astute observation earlier this year when it ported Armored Core 3, a six-year-old PS2 title, to the PSP in Japan. It looks like America will also be exposed to this amusing juxtaposition, as the ESRB recently rated a U.S. version of Armored Core 3 Portable. From Software has yet to officially reveal a stateside version of the mega-mech sim, but we predict we'll be hearing just such an announcement soon. Hopefully, it'll be accompanied by a English-language version of the above trailer. (Such drama! It's like a robot-centric soap opera!)

Yahoo tips Google off Web traffic throne: How Marissa Mayer did it
Yahoo was the Web's top destination in July, a ranking the company has not achieved since May 2011. Knocking Google out of first place is a feather in the cap of Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, who took charge last summer.
Robert Galbraith/Reuters/File
Yahoo has clawed its way back in the competition to be the Internet's leading destination, edging out Google in US visitors in July.
For a company that's been viewed as a flailing dinosaur from the Web's 1990s boom, this is welcome news – and it puts a badge of success on the firm's high-profile CEO, Marissa Mayer.
She was recruited from Google to bring some fresh-blood leadership. In the process, she became an instant test case of what a have-it-all woman (she's juggling a demanding career with being mom to a baby boy) can achieve.
The latest news, delivered this week by the Web-tracking firm ComScore, is this: Sites owned by Yahoo! Inc. racked up 196.6 million unique visitors from US homes, workplaces, and universities. Google came in second at 192.3 million, with Microsoft, Facebook, AOL, and Amazon taking the next slots in the ranking.
A range of news and video-entertainment firms fill out much of the list after that. (In all, by the way, ComScore counted 225 million unique Web visitors, up by a million from June.)

Potato kielbasa chowder and yogurt biscuit bites
Page 2 of 2
Cut the cream cheese into eight even cubes, increase the heat to medium high and stir in cubes of cream cheese, one at a time, stirring until each one is melted before adding the next. At times the soup may look curdled, but it will melt evenly with gentle stirring. Don't knock it around too much or the potatoes will disintegrate. Stir in the grated Gouda a handful at a time until it is melted.
Serve immediately, with a little chopped dill and grated Gouda sprinkled on top.
Yogurt biscuit bites
Makes 9 biscuit bites
During the winter soup season, it's always nice to have a little bread-y bite next to your bowl. And I don't think there can be an easy recipe than this one. Just a few ingredients and a thousand possible combinations and you have a nice, tangy little treat.
I generally make these plain, then roll them in seasoned butter, but you can add seasonings or even a little bit of grated cheese to the dough. Suit the seasoning to the soup you're serving them with.
1-1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup plain yogurt (not Greek)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, divided
Seasoning of your choice: 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning with 1/4 teaspoon paprika or garlic salt. A 1/4 teaspoon Creole seasoning or Old Bay. 1/2 teaspoon herbes de provence.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl with a fork. Stir in the yogurt and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until thoroughly combined and you have a dough you can roll into balls with your hands.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a shallow bowl. If you'd like, add some seasoning to the butter and stir well. Roll the dough into golf ball size biscuits, then roll each biscuit in the butter and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the biscuits are cooked through.

This color is a pure, cool, non-shimmery red that works on my cheeks and lips to provide a flush-from-within look. The texture is dense and somewhat dry, so the pigment adheres to lips well and doesn't look heavy when patted on.
The only downside with this product is that if you apply it to your cheeks over foundation, it can take a bit of rubbing and blending, which means some of your foundation may get smeared about. This doesn't bother me because the results look fine, but this method may make rosacea or acne look more evident.
The packaging is lovely. Compact and complete with a little mirror. However, I also have Peony, and the clasp came loose on that compact, so I'm not sure how sturdy the CCs are in general.

Stila Poppy Convertible Color is the only cosmetic I can think of that I have used to the end and have bought more than once. It's great for women who prefer a minimal makeup as the product can be used on both the lips and cheeks. Occasionally, I'll apply a touch to the area under my brows, but it's not specifically made for application to the eyes so people with sensitivities should not try that. It is odorless, which for me is very important in my evaluation of cosmetics.
Poppy is a rich color that works well with my complexion, which is four or five shades darker than olive. (MakeupAlley Editors: The "Dark" category is far too narrow. Do you have any idea how many shades there are beyond olive?). The product is creamy and easy to apply with my fingers. A little goes a long way. I apply it on the run all the time.
I usually designate one half of the cake for my lips and the other for my cheeks for sanitary reasons.
It comes in a pressed metal compact that has an Art Nouveau feel. There's a mirror inside.

I am a fan of these Stila Convertible Color blushes. I have oily skin and cream blushes really aren't suitable for oily skin because they're usually too creamy and generally don't last too long. The texture of the convertible colors are a bit drier ( and a little harder to blend) so they are actually perfect for oily skinned gals. Just be sure not to use too much and make sure to blend blend blend. And because the color range of these blushes are matte, I highly suggest you go over the blush with a illumminator/highlight( I highly suggest smashbox soft lights in shimmer), applied using a skunk brush. By doing this you will soften the harder edges of the blush and make the blush look like its coming within, as well as adding some glow. The color poppy is an amazing red that looks like it would be universal. Amazing on pale skin and tan skin(me NC40). Def try this out, it gives you a 'I'm cold,hold me kind of blush'=] This product will last a looong time too... unless you lose it. And do I even have to mention how cute the packaging is for all the convertible colors?? Each of the compacts are colored by the blush inside. Nice mirror too, I carry out with me for touch ups in general bc its so adorable!

This is my fave makeup of all. Have been using it happily for a few years. I have got a very good skin so I really don't need to wear anything other than a good healthy looking cheek and lip colour. I use this both on my lips and cheeks. At work I need a little bit of it to get a healthy flush. When I go out I layer so that I get the most mysterious and velvety red in a lipstick. It is incredible. I have never seen anything quite like it. I do find it fun to buy make up but this really is the only one I use every day. Just love love it. I have CC in fuschia, rose and petunia and they are good too. But Poppy is by far the best and the most feminine one. I just simply can't live without it.

Love it! I was afraid to try cream blush for so long because I thought it would break me out. I bought this on a whim with a gift card at Sephora, and I'm hooked! It hasn't upset my skin at all-- in fact, I think my skin likes it better than powder blush because it isn't drying. I use it on my cheeks every day. It's kind of pricey, but as others have noted, you barely need to use any, so I think my compact will last a long time.
I love how versatile it is. It's so easy to blend and layer, it's really like several different blushes. It just looks great, like my skin is glowing from within, not layered with pigment. I'm so impressed, I'll definitely be trying other Stila products.

This is such a great product. If there is one thing I would bring when traveling, then it would be Stila Convertible in Poppy because it is so handy. It gives my cheek a nice flush and my lips a nice color. It compliments my NC35 skin. The price is just right for this product since you only need to put a little and just blend it out.

I bought this product a few days ago and have tried a few different ways of wearing it. Applying this after chapstick with my finger to my lips gives a great stain that isn't drying at all. The color is a very wearable coral-red...a color I thought I could never wear but it looks awesome! It does wear off after a few hours but no big deal, it doesn't dry my lips and reapplies well so I don't mind. As for using it as a blush, it's tricky. The best way I found is to put it on your lips and then dot the excess onto your cheekbones. It can go on clown bright if you rub it all over so you have to be very careful to apply it lightly and only to the apples of your cheeks. It gives a nice bright pop of color that looks very fresh so I like it a lot! The container is a bit tough to open but at least it won't pop open and rub bright color all around my purse. I'm glad I bought this since I don't have another color even close to this already. Great!

I find it a little hard to blend this products just with my hands so I'd suggest a sponge. It gives my cheeks a flushed look like I just worked out, so I really like that. It looks great on lips as well, looks very natural.

I really wanted to love this! Gorgeous in the pan, but not quite right on me. I'm pretty fair, so even the tiniest bit too much and I ended up looking ridiculous. When I got the right amount on my lips and got it looking good... I found that this was too drying. :(
I love this color - it gives me a nice bright pink flush to my cheeks. I go pretty heavy with the blush sometimes since I love a 1920s look and this is perfect for that. I do have a hard time finding a balance between looking like a kewpie doll and looking like I'm not wearing blush at all with this, though.
It's super easy to apply, but the container is kind of hard to open and I often get my thumbs all in it when I open it. It stays on most of the day for me, which is nice! I like to pair it with a pale pink Stila powder blush (or it could be a highlighter - I forget) to set it.
