Cardiac Arrest and "Sudden Cardiac Death": An Overview
Guest: Dr. Michael Gold - Cardiology
Host: Dr. Bill Spencer – Cardiology
Dr. Bill Spencer: I am Dr. Bill Spencer and with me is Dr. Michael Gold who is the professor of Medicine and chief of Cardiology division at the Medical University of South Carolina. Michael is going to speak with us today about an area in which he has a great deal of experience, sudden cardiac death. Michael, I think the best thing to begin with is for you to define sudden cardiac death for me, please.
Dr. Michael Gold: Well, this is a term that we use medically for people who have a cardiac arrest. So, when we hear about people who die suddenly in their sleep, pass away in their sleep, or collapse on the street or somewhere else and go directly into a cardiac arrest, when the ambulance gets called, that is called sudden cardiac death.
Dr. Bill Spencer: So, when somebody dies suddenly, it is always said to be due to the heart, is that true?
Dr. Michael Gold: Most of the time. About 80 to 90 percent of the time, it is due to the heart. Contrary to popular opinion, or beliefs, it is not due to the heart beating too slow or the heart stopping, it is actually due to the heart beating too fast and going into what is called fibrillation.
Dr. Bill Spencer: How common is sudden cardiac death?
Dr. Michael Gold: It is very common. It is actually probably the leading cause of death in the United States. One person a minute has a cardiac arrest in the United States.
Dr. Bill Spencer: How big of an economic problem is this?
Dr. Michael Gold: It is a very large economic problem, where we spend several billions of dollars every month just in treating patients and in lost revenue and wages from people, not to mention that, obviously, tragically, people die every day and virtually every minute from this problem.
Dr. Bill Spencer: Okay, so you say that sudden cardiac death almost always comes from the heart, but what are the causes of sudden cardiac death?
Dr. Michael Gold: Typically we see this in people who have heart damage. The most common cause of heart damage is a previous heart attack. Commonly, people, again, would say that someone has a heart attack when they have a cardiac arrest. But, it is usually not a heart attack at the time, but it is an old or previous heart attack that they had. There are other causes of heart damage that could be due to viruses. It could be due to high blood pressure. It could be due to leaky valves. They can all lead to the problem of sudden death.
Dr. Bill Spencer: Tell us what a heart attack is.
Dr. Michael Gold: A heart attack is when we have a blockage in one of the arteries that supplies the heart so that we are not getting blood going to that heart muscle, and that causes that part of the heart muscle, that is supplied by blood from that blockage, to die and be injured.
Dr. Bill Spencer: It produces a scar?
Dr. Michael Gold: It produces a scar and permanent damage to that heart muscle and that can lead to the dangerous heart abnormalities of sudden death.
Dr. Bill Spencer: Do we have any ways of diagnosing, beforehand, or diagnosing the predisposition or tendency to have sudden cardiac death?
Dr. Michael Gold: Yes. Fortunately, we have found that there are some very simple ways of identifying high-risk patients. First, if they have had a history of any heart damage or any heart disease. The second is we actually measure the heart function with an ultrasound or echo machine and we calculate the percentage of the heart function. When that percentage gets below about 35 percent, it identifies a very high-risk patient. The third factor is heart failure which is the inability of a patient to do their normal activities because of either having fluid problems or because they are short of breath. Those are the three main factors that we use to identify high-risk groups of patients for sudden death.
Dr. Bill Spencer: So, if you identify somebody of being high-risk for sudden death, what can you do about it?
Dr. Michael Gold: Well, typically there is a group of medicines that we know are very good for the heart, to protect it, medicines such as aspirin to prevent heart attacks, statins, or medicines to control hypercholesterolemia, medicines such as beta blockers. So, we have a whole group of medicines. But, in a very high-risk group of patients, we put in what is called a defibrillator, or an ICD, which is a small device that goes under the skin, which simply waits for a sudden death event to occur and then either paces or shocks the heart automatically to get the heart rhythm back to normal.
Dr. Bill Spencer: Well, that is excellent. How reliable are these defibrillators now?
Dr. Michael Gold: Well, someone who has a cardiac arrest outside the hospital has about a one in one hundred chance of surviving. If you have a defibrillator in place, you have about 99 out of 100 chance of surviving. So, they are extremely effective for this therapy.
Dr. Bill Spencer: How about these automated external defibrillators (AEDs) we see in airports now?
Dr. Michael Gold: AEDs are very good so that if someone has a cardiac arrest, we can resuscitate them. For the highest risk patients, we would rather have an implantable device. But, certainly, in public places such as shopping centers, airports, even some school yards where we occasionally see athletes who may be at risk for other reasons for sudden death, AEDs are very useful and it is very good to be trained and learn how to use them.
Dr. Bill Spencer: Does it take a lot of training to learn how to use them?
Dr. Michael Gold: No. They are very simple. It just takes a couple of minutes. Most of them are designed to be automatically user-friendly by communicating. They actually talk to people so they can help you work through using them if you are in a situation where someone has collapsed on a street or on the floor.
Dr. Bill Spencer: So, we have talked about sudden cardiac death and what it is and how you take care of it. Do you see any changes in the number of sudden cardiac deaths that are occurring annually?
Dr. Michael Gold: Unfortunately, we are seeing that this number is not going down. While we have made great strides in preventing heart attacks and preventing a lot of other diseases, we are still seeing very frequent episodes of sudden death. So, it remains a major healthcare problem that we need to pay more and more attention to.
Dr. Bill Spencer: Well, I think we are fortunate to have people like you working on it. Thank you very much.
Dr. Michael Gold: Thank you.

AB WSO Championship 2011
PHILIPPI, W. Va. – A goal in the fourth minute of the match was enough for Alderson Broaddus to record its first-ever women's soccer WVIAC Championship Sunday afternoon as the Battlers downed Davis & Elkins 1-0.
The Battlers' Olivia Augustine struck with a goal just 3:09 into the first half. Amber Kling flicked the ball from midfield over the Senators' defenders. Kling put just enough onto the ball to be past the defense and allow Augustine to run under it. She lofted the shot past keeper Ashley Winkelspecht for a 1-0 lead.
D&E controlled much of the half, pushing forward and playing in AB's defensive third of the field. However, the Senators were unable to place much on their shots on goal. Kate Laird came up strong in the opening stanza with four saves to keep D&E off the board. In the first half, the Senators posted eight shots to three by the Battlers.
D&E pressed in the second stanza but a couple of deft saves by Laird kept the Senators off the board.
For the match, AB totaled 14 shots to 11 by D&E. The Battlers posted eight shots on frame while the Senators tallied five.
Winkelspecht accounted for seven saves to keep D&E in the match. Laird totaled five in the victory.
The Battlers advance to the NCAA Tournament. The first-round match will be determined Monday evening.

Why Raikkonen has it all to do at Spa-Francorchamps
If Fernando Alonso scores four - even three - more points than Kimi Raikkonen this weekend, the Spaniard could clinch the world championship with three races to go.
He is 27 points ahead. Three would extend his lead to 30, and with 30 points left to score in Brazil, Japan and China, Raikkonen could then only match him if he won all of the remaining races and Alonso failed to finish any of them. If that were to happen, and it is unlikely, the Finn would win on greater number of victories.
I refuse even to talk about this, Renault team principal Flavio Briatore says. Its not over yet. Maybe Fernando can finish second in the championship; thats the best I am prepared to say right now.
For sure the pressure is on Renault, especially as McLaren are closing in the constructors championship. They took their only race win here last year with the MP4-19, and the MP4-20 is much better and can be expected to set the pace. Both teams are at what Ron Dennis once called maximum ramming speed, in an allusion to the old days of Romans ramming other ships. Renault have 144 points; McLaren 136. There are other dramas unfolding here, too, as Montoyas 50 points have brought him within five of Michael Schumacher for third place, while Giancarlo Fisichella has 41 to Jarno Trullis 43 in the fight for fifth.
One thing that may cause an upset is the likelihood that we could have the first wet race of the season. There is a 60 percent chance of rain on Sunday. But just in case that might suggest a Bridgestone walkover, a Ferrari insider admitted that he did not expect Spa to be any better for Ferrari regardless of the weather. If it is dry, we will be worse than Monza, he said after that race. There are more corners at Spa, so of course it will be worse! Michelin, meanwhile, are quietly confident about their rain tyres.
There is another good fight going on in the constructors table, as Toyota hound Ferrari for third place. The German-based Japanese team are currently only eight points behind, 78 to 86 and have scored 13 more points than the Scuderia in the last three races.
Meanwhile, with engine and aero upgrades scheduled for Spa, BAR are hoping to come back from their Italian disappointment and to close up on Red Bull for sixth place in the constructors stakes. They are only two points apart, 27 to 25, and BAR hope to challenge Renault again. Red Bull will yet again run Christian Klien as David Coulthards partner, leaving Vitantonio Liuzzi to Friday test duties.
At Williams it has been confirmed that Antonio Pizzonia will again race in Nick Heidfelds place as the German has been advised not to run following the headaches he complained of in Monza after a test crash the previous week. The Brazilian was very quick at Spa last year and the team come to this years event with some rear-end aero tweaks for the FW27.
Sauber, Jordan and Minardi will all run largely unchanged apart from maximum downforce packages, given the time constraints of back-to-back races. However, Jordan will have both race drivers in the new EJ15B for Spa and the team have recently announced that Anthony Davidson will test and may be in line for a drive next year. The much-talked-about future of Minardi may also become clearer during the course of the weekend.

5 Excellent Freesat Box & Highly RecommendedSJDeal | 08/12/2008 | See all SJDeal's reviews (2)Top 100 Electronics Reviewer As far as freesat is concerned alot of people don't know what is required and ultimately what you get for your money.Freesat is relatively new, therefore you won't receive as many channel as sky. What you have to remember is that this is changing daily. I've only had the foxsat box for a couple of weeks, and already is has prompted me for an update to find new channels. After installing it quoted me saying 141 channel found, so not a bad start.What i would say is that i have both sky & freesat, by simply adding a quad lnb i've kept sky in my living room, and put the freesat in my bedroom. The easy part is that both sky & freesat use the astra satellite, so if you are simply replacing your sky box then you won't need to adjust your dish. Don't let anyone try to charge you for the £80 installation free, just buy the box from play etc. And away you go.The box is very smart, and comes in a lovely gloss black which should suit most users as my hd tv is also in the same colour. Contents are excellent, and despite some websites saying it doesn't have a hdmi lead, it does! You also get a scart, and video rbg lead. Remember the hd box gives you the hd channels for free, currently bbc, channel 4 etc. If you don't have a hd ready tv, then go for the normal freesat sd box, they start at only £50.Whilst the box looks slick, the remote is a little bit on the cheap side, but to be honest it's fuctional and easy to use. Some comments say the buttons are close together, but i disagree and think it's very well spaced and simple to use.Overall i'm loving freesat & the humax foxsat box is the best looking on the market. I know freesat + is already out, this gives you all of the above but with the ability to record, howver the same box will cost double nearly £300.Worth the money, but will probably never take over sky.
5 Excellent FreeSat HD set-top-boxStooMonster | 22/04/2010 | See all StooMonster's reviews (1)Very good set-top-box for receiving FreeSat channels, problem free operation (the reviewer above who complained about lip-sync issues fails to consider that this could be due to their display rather than this box), and compelling features.Picture quality in extremely good, especially if you select 'Original' as output format which means SD channel's 576i is output as 576i and HD channel's 1080i is output as 1080i which enables the best quality from most displays -- this is in contrast to Sky HD which forces 576i out as 576p and looks poor in comparison. Although you can still force everything to 1080i or 720p if you so wish.Audio quality is good as this set-top-box can present Dolby 5.1 over HDMI, which Sky HD cannot (you need to use optical output for that, it only does stereo over HDMI).Internet TV is fantastic, the BBC iPlayer is now available on this device if it's plugged into a home broadband network. Two resolutions are offered 'Watch Now' and 'Higher Quality', if you have high speed broadband then 'Higher Quality' is approximately same quality as FreeView. It is brilliant, and the best implementation of iPlayer yet.The user interface is really easy to use with clear and friendly graphics, the SD ones are anti-aliased if you output 576i and if great in 1080i -- it looks miles better than Sky's.Setup is dead easy, if you are a Sky HD subscriber you can simply run another cable from the Quad-LNB to this box; although two of my friends have bought these boxes where they have moved into flats/houses where previous occupants had left a satellite dish.The only downside is that there are currently (April 2010) only two HD channels available -- BBC HD and ITV1 HD -- however Channel 4 HD, E4 HD, and other HD channels will be 'free to air' once their deals with Sky expire.
5 Great ItemMyristica | 29/09/2009 | See all Myristica's reviews (1)Bought this to guarantee a picture when touring the UK in our caravan rather than to rely on freeview in the future.Very easy to set up and the picture and sound is fantastic on our 19" Technika LCD especially viewing BBC HD. Box is nice and small. Also has the option to scan for non-freesat channels. (Those not on the Freesat EPG but FTA like Sky news.)
3 Not ImpressedFunny8Guy | 10/08/2009 | See all Funny8Guy's reviews (9)Bought this the other day and I must warn you I wasn't too impressed at all. The box's main feature is that it can get HD channels but thats where he problems start.First off the picture of the HD channels are not great, people are reporting better pictures coming from a BUSH box!! Yes that's right BUSH!!!Secondly the HD channels have very bad lip sync problems. This is where the picture and the sound don't run together and it looks like bad miming!!!I've done all the updates and what not but the problem is still there. The last thing I want to say is that the start up time of this box is dreadful. It almost takes 15 secs from pushing the power button to something being displayed on the screen!!!But one good thing about this box that none of the cheaper one have is that you can take it out of Freesat mode and scan alot of other satellites and you can get loads more free to air channels that are not included in the Freesat list.If anyone is buying a box to replace the old sky box just to get the pheonix chinese channel then there is a way to recieve this channel with this box so it is recommended at least for that.

Weston hopes for big home crowd
Chris Hutchings' in-form Saddlers lie just one point outside the top six after Tuesday's win at Yeovil and are unbeaten in their last five league games, while they have only lost once at the Banks's Stadium in the league all season. Southampton's recent resurgence makes for a tight encounter and when combined with the 1,700-strong away following they are expected to bring at the weekend, Weston is hoping a bumper home crowd can make the crucial difference. "It would be nice to think there will be a big crowd on Saturday," said the defender. "We've been doing really well of late and hopefully our recent performances will put a few more bums on seats. "As players, all we can do is go out there and do our best. I think we have been doing that of late. There are many things that make up a football club but the most important thing is the supporters. I know players often say it but fans really can make a difference. "I was on the bench for the Leeds home game earlier in the season. There were nearly 9,000 fans in the stadium and the noise was crazy. Being greedy, that is what you want every week but we know we won't always get that."

TUCSON - The investigation continues into the disturbance following Saturday night's incident at Main Gate Square after the Wildcats loss to Wisconsin in the Elite 8. 15 students were arrested and charged with unlawful assembly and disorderly conduct.
However, this isn't the first time there have been riots at Main Gate Square. According to University of Arizona archives in January of 1971, 143 were arrested after a three day riot.
Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik was one of the commanders for Tucson police at the time. He recalls the rioting was over the Vietnam War. "They would gather and start throwing rocks at everybody. The cops would come in and there would be a confrontation."
Newspaper accounts say bottles, rocks, and oranges were thrown at officers. More than 350 officers were needed to clear the area. Sheriff Dupnik adds, "This would last most of the night, and they would go hide and come back at dark the next night and we would fight all over again."
He says those arrested were charged with unlawful assembly, assault, trespassing and rioting. "When you are confronted with law enforcement in an unlawful situation and then you repeatedly refuse to follow directions you're risking the chance of getting arrested."
Sheriff Dupnik says it ended, when he had officers dress in U of A attire, jeans, and cowboy shirts . They stood behind the rock wall at the main gate. When rioters started throwing rocks, the officers began throwing rocks back at the rioters. "Eventually there was a confrontation and that ended the riots."
Prior to the 1971 riot, Dupnik attended riot training put on by the military in Ft. Benning, Ga. He says some of those tactics are still in place today and were used last Saturday.
"The Tucson Police Department acted exactly as they are trained to act and as they should have acted. We're very lucky that nothing serious happened and I praise the department for protecting the public and the property," says Dupnik.
He also tells News 4 Tucson, it's upsetting to him how some of the community is reacting to TPD's actions. He says if TPD hadn't been prepared, and the students got out of hand like they did in 1997, and 2001 the department would've been criticized for not doing enough.

Man Attempts to Take Turtle on a Plane By Hiding it in a KFC Burger
People are caught trying to smuggle illegal items onto planes all the time, but one flyer may have found a new first. Instead of drugs or food or your more typical items, one man tried to take his "beloved" pet turtle on a trip to Beijing with him by hiding the animal inside a KCF hamburger. According to the South China Morning Post, a man with the last name Li sent a KFC bag through an X-ray screening machine at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in China. Staff thought the resulting X-ray strangely resembled turtle limbs and despite Li insisting, "There's no turtle in there, just a hamburger," airport security still found the man's pet. After some deliberation Li decided to have a friend take care of his turtle while he was away.

quote:In interviews, the two women said they met Menendez around Easter at Casa de Campo, an expensive 7,000 acre resort in the Dominican Republic. They claimed Menendez agreed to pay them $500 for sex acts, but in the end they each received only $100. The women spoke through a translator in the company of their attorney, Melanio Figueroa. Both asked that their identities remain obscured for fear of reprisals in the Dominican Republic. When shown a photograph of Sen. Menendez, the women said they recognized him as the man with whom they'd had sexual relations at Casa de Campo this spring. Both said they were brought to the resort with the understanding they would be paid for sex. Neither knew the identity of the man at the time. Both claimed to recognize him later as Sen. Menendez. "He called him[self] 'Bob,'" said one. One woman said Menendez wooed her with compliments like "beautiful" before they slept together. The other woman recounted, with apparent bitterness, receiving from an intermediary only $100 of the $500 she had been promised. It is known that Sen. Menendez has been a regular visitor to the Dominican Republic. On at least one occasion, according to a news account, Menendez has been a guest at the Casa de Campo home of a friend and campaign donor named Salomon Melgen, an ophthalmologist and owner of an eye clinic in Florida. Menendez, who is 58 and divorced, has represented New Jersey in the U.S. Senate as a Democrat since being appointed to fill a vacancy in 2005. He is up for re-election on Nov. 6. Asked about the allegations, Menendez spokeswoman Tricia Enright refused to answer any questions on the subject. "We're not going to respond to a completely false accusation," she wrote by email.

Unity of Command
Nifty Wargame Comes to the Mac
The good folks over at 2×2 recently had an Easter weekend sale on their first release, Unity of Command. At $20, and as one of the few robust wargames available for Mac, I couldn't pass it up.
Don't let the images fool you. Despite the icony graphic this is a pretty sophisticated game. The AI is tough, and the supply chain modeling is very important. Almost too important as fighting for supply results in some pretty gamey moments.
The game is modeled at the corps and regiment level with 20km hexes. It is set in the 1942/43 German campaign including Stalingrad. It features multiple unit types and campaign level assets like air power and bridgebuilding.
Reinforcements and replacements are part of the game as is the previously mentioned supply system. Games are judged on a scoring system targeted on map objectives. Capture the objective and score points. Throughout the campaign mode, players gain prestige points which can then be used to purchase reinforcements. However, this lowers your score.
Units can be suppressed or disbanded to provide reinforcements for other units.
The interface is very clean and easy to navigate. Intuitively, nearly all actions can be completed with the point and click of a mouse. While it has the hallmarks of traditional wargames, hexes for example, movement comes across as a bit comical with units zipping around the map. I think this is more due to the animation choices though.
Campaigns & Multiplayer
I've started one campaign and have had a rough go of it. But that hasn't kept me from wanting to play more. There is a server based multiplayer option too. This let's players play head-t0-head live or logging into the server to get the latest turn from your opponent. Multiplayer works well, but the game comes with only one truly balanced scenario. All the single player scenarios are playable HTH style, but usually one player is pretty much on the defensive the entire time.
In the end, this is a pretty solid purchase at $20. It has a lot going for it for sure. There a few criticisms though; Hats off for the supply system, but it does lead to some gamey moments with Calvary units breaking through to the back line to cut off supply. The game is also build as modable, but the devs even admit that it is very difficult to do. There isn't much of a community for this game so finding players is a bit of a challenge and even then, multiplayer is only ok.
I recommend this game for sure at $20 and probably even at its regular price of $30 especially for Mac users who don;t have many other options. However, I know I'd pay twice as much for something similar that was more robust and fuller-featured.

A last minute entreaty by President Obama wasn't enough to convince senators to strip the oil and gas industry of billions in tax incentives.
The president said today that Americans are getting fleeced by an oil industry awash in profits – pinched at the pump by rising prices and forking over billions in taxpayer cash and he put his weight behind a senate bill that would repeal
"Think about that. It's like hitting the American people twice," Obama said in a Rose Garden press conference, just before senators considered a bill that would roll back many such tax incentives for oil companies.
"They can either vote to spend billions of dollars more in oil subsidies that keep us trapped in the past. Or they can vote to end these taxpayer subsidies that aren't needed to boost oil production so that we can invest in the future," Obama said. "It's that simple."
Less than an hour later, Republican senators were joined by a handful of Democrats in the senate to reject a bill that would do just that. They argue it would raise gas prices even more. The "Repeal Big Oil Tax Subsidies" bill failed to advance by a vote of 51-47. It needed 60 votes to overcome a procedural hurdle.
The bill would have killed several tax breaks taken by the five largest oil companies and use some of the proceeds to extend expiring energy tax provisions, such as tax breaks for renewable energy, electric cars and energy efficient homes.
Senate Democrats, mostly from oil-rich states, were not supportive of the legislation. They includeded Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., Ben Nelson, D-Neb., and Jim Webb, D-Va. Voting with the Democrats was Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Me.
President Obama had argued the tax breaks were more than Americans could afford.
"Last year the three biggest U.S. oil companies took home more than $80 billion in profits. Exxon pocketed nearly $4.7 million every hour. And when the price of oil goes up, prices at the pump go up, and so do these companies' profits," he said, adding, "In fact, one analysis shows that every time gas goes up by a penny, these companies usually pocket another $200 million in quarterly profits."
Obama said the tax incentives for energy companies – which allow them to pay a lower effective tax rate than other companies – are outdated and prime examples of a systemic unfairness that compounds frustration among consumers.
"It's not as if these companies can't stand on their own. American oil is booming," Obama said. "With high oil prices around the world, they've got more than enough incentive to produce even more oil."
But Republicans say Obama is calling for an effective tax hike on oil companies that would in turn be passed on to consumers in the form of even higher gas prices. Current nationwide averages are hovering near $4.00 per gallon.
"The legislation before this chamber proposed to raise taxes on American energy producers. This won't change supply and demand," Sen. Boozman, R-Ark., said today, "once again hardworking Americans will be left with the bill as a result if this bill were passed."
"Is this really the best we can do?," Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell, R-KY., said on the Senate floor moments before the vote, "we should do more for the American people at a time when they're paying $4 dollar a gallon for gasoline than raise taxes on energy manufacturers and block a pipeline from Canada, then you should vote against cloture."
House Speaker John Boehner's office cites a March 2012 report from the non-partisan Congressional Research Service report which says changes to the tax code could "raise the cost of exploration and production, with the possible result of higher consumer prices and more slowly increasing domestic production."
Obama has made ending tax subsidies for oil companies a key part of his populist re-election message, using the issue to draw a sharp contrast with Republicans and GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney, who oppose repeal.
"We've got a very clear division here on this issue," Obama campaign pollster Joel Benenson told reporters Thursday morning. "I think that this isn't going to go away if they're paying four bucks or four bucks, 20 cents at the pump… They're going to want a real answer. They're not going to want some glib, gimmick approach that's going to promise them something they know they're not going to get which is long term stability on what they pay for gas."

The Firehouse Five Plus Two's humor sometimes came dangerously close to corn although their musicianship was usually quite strong with soprano saxophonist George Probert being a first-class soloist. Comprised mostly of members of the creative staff of Walt Disney, these part-time musicians always seemed to enjoy themselves and had a wide audience during the 1950s. This CD reissue is straightforward Dixieland featuring a crisp lead by cornetist Danny Alguire and even two siren breaks from trombonist/leader Ward Kimball. Fun music.~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

I saw this post from Kevin and have read the replies. I think that Jeroen's idea is excellent. (guess I need to learn SVN - and I was doing so good with CVS!) I would also like to add one small suggestion to the unstable branch (if that is the right term). Add a section on testing and maybe comparitive analysis. If you are in unstable territory and want to do testing, it would be a good place to bring all that info together. That way all hackers can do comparitive analysis and post results to help out.

Korra, Korra, Korra… Alright I'm just going to admit it, I have a shockingly uncharacteristic anime crush on that woman, I mean just…damn, but as M I must put that aside to review season one of Avatar the Legend of Korra and review it just as harshly as I would anything else. So let's, my vice friends, move past my rather embarrassing feelings for the fictional character she and get this started.
Let me make this clear, Avatar: The Legend of Korra is a sequel to Avatar: The Last Air bender and for this to be enjoyed to its fullest it is to be seen as such and expects you the viewer to have seen the Last air bender. Which as you can read here is actually fantastic so if you haven't seen it first don't start with Korra, you're doing yourself a huge disservice, but to those that don't know it follow the adventures of Korra the new avatar over 70 years after aang as she masters air bending in the 1910s themed republic city all while under the threat of Amon an anti-bender.
A while ago I wrote a blog post to speak to my feelings on the first few episodes of Korra before the series ended, the heart of it all was that I was very worried about if and when the series was going to go anywhere and in short it's ironic to say that it did literally the episode past my impressions, almost jarringly so shit gets very real very fast in very little time and only gets realer and realer. Legend of Korra, if you have not read my blog, bests its predecessor in a few very noticeable ways, the most noticeable one is with Korra herself, she is by her nature a much better and more interesting character then Aang, she is arguably the best character in the show which is almost never true with a main protagonist, more so the show succeeds in its maturity, Avatar the last airbender has a sort of fame for acknowledging death and then having death within the show, Avatar the legend of Korra goes further with politics concepts of law and equality, moral grey with your enemy and even suicide. Korra was made for us the teenagers that watched avatar, the world and the characters are all older to reflect this. These seem like the most logical improvements one can make to Avatar as a whole, even minor things like natural conversation and a more mature take on humor show a growth, as a whole the parts of Korra are superior then Aangs story so much so it's worth noticing. Oh and visually its cleaner and more well produced having a easily larger budget then the first season of avatar the last air bender.
I think it's important to note the difference in story Legend of Korra and the Last air bender. The Legend of Korra is like a single novel with a set beginning and end and as such performs a story excellently. The last air bender was a three book long Epic (literal sense) and as such has a lot more time to flush out the world and the story, the stakes are simply higher in a 100 year war built up over three seasons then a conflict that can be started and ended in one. I do feel that simply nothing (mild spoiler for last air bender) can match the intensity as the final match between Zuko and Azula or Aang and the Firelord. The simple build up just makes for a more meaningful show in the end, however comparatively I feel stronger about Korra then any one season of Last Air bender. This does not however make Korra without flaw. The nature of it forces a rush that's a bit undeserved the characters change their feelings and build relationships in a almost jarringly forced way that makes you so aware that Korra was assumed to only have one season (now new seasons will be made) The 1910s theme is poor in my taste as is the terrible recreation of New York in republic city, the setting of New York is overused and bored to begin with. The cultural homogenization as well as the bending homogenization is meant to symbolize the unity of the four peoples but really just robs them of their uniqueness, and while the old benders do not most of the new ones just use I kid you not boxing over the unique and culturally link martial arts that was painstakingly real and well choreographed. Most distasteful of all bending has for the most part been made near moot point so much so lightning bending the ultimate one hit kill for anyone in the series is now no more powerful the a solid punch to the chest, no joke a character gets hit with it and gets up and walks away like not 30 seconds later with no healing involved.
Korra as a single entity I feel confident in saying is better than Last airbender if by nothing else because of Korra herself. I look forward to what else is to come and hopefully I can say that with more time and a tone change this is exactly the Avatar I wanted. Well all said and done I can give with comfort Avatar: The Legend of Korra 4.5 Polar-Bear Dogs out of 5.

Major Lazer's Walshy Fire Advises "Dress for the Mess" at Mad Decent Block Party
Florida has been getting a bad rap lately. And though it may seem at times like we're a lost cause, that assessment isn't entirely fair. We're actually a global cultural force that spawned Major Lazer, one of dance music's most inspiring and original outfits. Members Diplo and Walshy Fire are home-grown goods, the latter coming straight from Miami-Dade County. Along with their buddy Jillionaire, these guys travel the world bringing Caribbean-style beats, peace, and love to the masses.Photo by: Ian Witlen
And of course, their favorite thing to do is to bring that lovin' right back to the place where it all started.
Major Lazer played both weekends of Ultra Music Festival in March, and for Miami's Walshy Fire, it was a new high. National media outlets helped spur interest in the group's highly entertaining live show, reminding partiers that Walshy -- born Leighton Paul Walsh in Kingston -- was one of the only Miami-raised performers at the fest.
"The second one was definitely the greatest moment of my life," Walshy confesses. "It felt so good to represent Miami globally and go everywhere -- and represent the Caribbean also everywhere I go -- and then come home and see all those flags. All those people that were like, 'Yo, you're from Miami? We had no clue.' It was the highlight of my life, no question."
Major Lazer is successful because of its full package. Its live performances are literal hype machines. It's a colorful, quirky experience full of island dancing, confetti, stage-diving, hamster-ball-walking -- you kind of have to see it to believe it.
"We are, at its foundation, a representation of the Caribbean, and if you are Caribbean yourself or if you know anything about Caribbean culture, you'd know that it's so interactive," Walshy points out. "If we didn't add those elements to the show, it just would not be true to the foundation that we're mixing EDM with."
But it's not just Caribbean culture they integrate into their music and shows. Walshy prides himself and his crew on bringing in a little bit of everything, thus becoming a reflection of everyone.
"People have called me 'the ambassador of culture' just because I'm so good with languages and so good with different cultures, and I know so many things about so many different people," he admits. "I want you to walk away and feel so proud that you are what you are and so proud that we're onstage representing for you, no matter where you come from in the world."
Unfortunately, in modern dance music, this makes Major Lazer the exception, not the rule.
"Looking at other people's EDM shows and just realizing that their show is probably 95 percent just lights, and I don't know how long you can do that," he said. "How long can you watch that before you figure it out?"
It's true; EDM has gotten stale.
"For some reason, it kind of is the big elephant in the room," Walshy reflects. "How can we not acknowledge that dance music has definitely slowed down and stalled?"
Of course, the only reasonable response is to become the antithesis of status-quo mediocrity.
"I'm so thankful to be a part of a team full of people who are constantly seeking out new sounds and new ways to distort sounds and new ways to inject new vibes into EDM," he says. "If I wasn't, man, I'd die already. I would have killed myself. I would have jumped off of the last Holy Ship. I would have said, 'Hey, everybody at Ultra, this is my last show,' and I would have just retired, because I can't continue to do the same thing over and over again and still be satisfied."
What would be a death warrant for Walshy Fire reigns supreme in the dance music world, but for how long?

Military chaplains: a Presbyterian pastor patrols with his flock of soldiers in Iraq
Army Capt. Ron Eastes carries a big responsibility - but no weapon - in his 'ministry of presence' with the 82nd Airborne.
Vendors and shopkeepers are gearing up for business along a market street in the northeastern neighborhood of Adhamiya, when a platoon of American soldiers disgorges from Humvees. The soldiers fan out up and down the street. Even on a low-key patrol to make their presence known and gather intel, the soldiers have to stay on the qui vive. Eyes dart up to rooftops and down side alleys; while one soldier smiles and nods greetings to a vendor, another peers to the back of the store.
From a distance the soldiers are indistinguishable: domed helmets, dark glasses, and tight-fitting armored vests in camouflage grays and greens. But closer inspection reveals differences. From the back of one soldier, a radio antenna quivers: platoon leader. Across the chest of another, only gloved hands – no rifle, no side arm strapped to thigh: chaplain. In orbit around him, another soldier, rifle ready: chaplain's assistant and bodyguard. Should fighting break out, he'll shove his charge behind a wall, to the ground, under a vehicle.
Chaplain Ron Eastes is on this patrol with members of his 82nd Airborne Army unit not because he is helping with the platoon's mission, but because the platoon itself is his mission.
"I've heard it said that a shepherd needs to smell like his sheep," he explains, "and if I'm going to care for these guys, I need to be where they are."
And being where they are can mean joining soldiers in a ritual of cigars and banter as a distant mullah chants the call to prayer and the sky darkens beyond the concertina wire at their combat outpost (COP) in north Baghdad. Or playing cards with troops visiting from a smaller outpost. Or walking, outside "the wire," among stalls selling housewares and food in a Baghdad bazaar.
The smell of sheep, Chaplain Eastes knows, comes with more than a whiff of risk.

Pros and Cons of GMO Labeling
Most of our food that comes frozen, like vegetables, or in a box, like cereal, contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In the US, a handful of crops, corn and soybeans chief among them, have had their genomes altered by biotechnicians. The aim: to produce higher-yielding harvests, and to create more food while spraying fewer pesticides. But many people distrust GMO foods and wish to avoid them. They can't.
Aside from buying USDA organic, a label that can only be awarded to foods without GMO ingredients, there's no way to know if you're eating a food made from GMOs. The FDA, the agency in charge of food labeling, does not require foods with GMO ingredients to be specially marked. According to the FDA, "The use or absence of use of bioengineering in the production of a good or ingredient does not, in and of itself, mean that there is a material difference in the food." Its stance is that because genetically modified (GM) and conventional crops are the same, there's no reason to label the foods with GMO ingredients as being different.
A host of consumers disagrees with the FDA. The strongest arguments for GMO labeling stand on the grounds that, first, the science on GMOs is young and unproven, and second, we live in a democratic country and have the right to know what we're eating.
Agriculture experts tend to agree that more study needs to be done on GMOs before we can shun or adopt them. "Are GMOs dangerous?" asks Charles Benbrook, Professor in Washington State's Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources, "We don't know enough to reach any definitive judgments." Another professor, David Zilberman, who specializes in Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California, Berkeley, feels more confident about the potential of GMOs. He says, "Agricultural biotechnology is in its infancy and the sky is the limit."
Each expert sees the present debate on GMOs as a charged moment. "This is the beginning of a new era," says Zilberman. "If we stop GMOs, we kill a new era." Zilberman does note that GMOs present risks, but he believes that with GMOs we will be "taking small risks to address big problems." Benbrook takes a more reserved approach to GMOs. "We are diving headlong into a brave new world of agriculture," he says. "Everybody ought to be interested in what's in their food."
Two weeks ago, news broke that Californians, who have historically been very interested food safety, will be voting on GMO labeling in November. If enough people vote in favor of The California Right To Know Genetically Engineered Food Act, the labeling of GMO foods will begin in California. Experts will be watching the vote's ripple effect. A vote for labeling may curb food producers' interest in bioengineering. A vote against labeling may encourage biotechnicians to stay their course: to develop, test, and get to market new genetically modified crops.
Do you think foods with GMOs should be labeled? Let us know in the comments section below. While you're thinking about food policy, you'll still need to cook dinner. Head over to our recipes page for ideas.

To say we're kind of into sports here would be like saying Larry Bird was kind of good at basketball. You can't go far in Massachusetts without spying someone sporting a Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, or Patriots logo. We live for singing Sweet Caroline at Fenway Park, Pats playoff games in the snow, and losing our voices at the Garden. This is where the curse was reversed, where the Big Three dominated the courts, and where a 600-lb statue of Bobby Orr reminds us what legends are made of (apparently bronze). Our obsession with sports goes beyond the pros, with the amateur (but totally not amateur) Cape Cod Baseball League; the Head of the Charles, the country's largest regatta; and the epic feats of athleticism and human spirit that brings the world together, the Boston Marathon.

Carneros Estate
Pinot Noir
rtesa's Estate Chardonnay vineyards hang on the hillsides around the winery on the foothills of Mount Veeder. This wine comes from some of the highest elevation vineyards in Carneros. The great drainage of our blocks ensures intensely flavored small berries and low yields. Temperatures are moderated by the adjoining San Pablo Bay, cool afternoon breezes and persistent morning fog. The sun burns off this fog late in the morning causing the temperature to immediately jump 15 degrees. This climate yields grapes that have both enough cool hang time and sunshine to develop great depth of flavor with natural acid.
Gently hand harvested, the grapes were whole cluster pressed using the most gentle of sparkling wine pressing methods. Most lots were inoculated with one of several yeast strains; some lots went through uninoculated fermentations. This wine was barrel fermented with sur lees stirring and aging. 80% of this wine has undergone a secondary malolactic fermentation to enhance its buttery creaminess. Each barrel is personally selected for the blend by our winemaker. The final blend consists of 50% new oak.
Tasting Notes
Aromatically and by mouth this wine is full of pear, green apple, vanilla dusted creme brulee and a hint of pineapple. Balanced, seamless, multi-layered and elegant; this wine has a triple creme brie texture that melts into a lingering lemon tart, baked pear, toasted vanilla bean and butterscotch finish. Excellent balance enables the fruit to dance on the tongue through the entire taste and provides the structure to age gracefully.

We've heard about the Wii U sales but now we're hearing of the Microsoft Xbox 360 doing really good over the past Thanksgiving weekend. Why, 750,000 Xbox 360 bundles were sold between November 18 and 23, boosted by the Halo 4 release.
The Xbox 360 is still on top of the list of bestselling gaming consoles. In fact, it's been on top for 22 months but that might change with the arrival of the Wii U but honestly, I doubt that will change anytime soon. But then there's the Vita and Playstation 3 to watch out for. We'll see.

Share your story here
During my first 2 pregnancies, there weren't even any questions on my mind, really. I'd be in the hospital, on my back, with an epidural and an OB delivering my babies. After those first 2, I started to learn more about my options in labor and for my 3rd pregnancy I found a midwife with an excellent reputation who still delivered in a hospital. I wasn't quite ready to opt for a homebirth, though I was definitely curious. I ended up laboring at home with my husband and my doula until I hit transition, then endured the worst car ride ever to the hospital where I delivered my perfect 3rd baby unmedicated 30 minutes after checking in. The fact that I'd done it unmedicated and that the car ride was so awful started me thinking I might be able to handle a homebirth on my next baby. Laboring at home was ideal - kneeling beside my bed with my husband breathing with me, feeding me peanuts and Gatorade between contractions, in a dark room, totally supported and at peace. Then, to seal the deal, I started hearing amazing, reassuring stories about a local homebirth midwife, and when I got pregnant with my 4th (currently 18 weeks pregnant!), I made an appointment with her. My experience so far has been amazing and nothing at all like a typical OB appointment. The office is in a beautiful old home. The appointments happen on a big comfy couch and I am never rushed. We laugh and share crunchy hippy remedies for various issues while my 3 kids play on the floor. No concern of mine is ever dismissed and I always feel heard and respected. It's exactly the way prenatal care should be! We should feel nurtured, cared for and loved throughout our pregnancies, and midwives are perfectly suited for this job! I wish everyone could experience this kind of prenatal care :)
