Atrial Fibrillation
What is atrial fibrillation?
Atrial fibrillation (say "AY-tree-uhl fih-bruh-LAY-shun") is the most common type of irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia).
Normally, the heart beats in a strong, steady rhythm. In atrial fibrillation, a problem with the heart's electrical system causes the two upper parts of the heart, the atria, to quiver, or fibrillate.
The quivering upsets the normal rhythm between the atria and the lower parts of the heart, the ventricles. And the ventricles may beat fast and without a regular rhythm.
This is dangerous because if the heartbeat isn't strong and steady, blood can collect, or pool, in the atria. And pooled blood is more likely to form clots. Clots can travel to the brain, block blood flow, and cause a stroke.
Atrial fibrillation can also lead to heart failure.
What causes atrial fibrillation?
Conditions that damage or strain the heart commonly cause atrial fibrillation. These include:
- High blood pressure.
- Coronary artery disease.
- Heart attack.
- Heart valve disease.
Other possible causes include:
- Other medical problems, such as heart failure, lung disease, pneumonia, or a high thyroid level.
- Heart surgery.
- Heavy alcohol use. This includes having more than 3 drinks a day over many years as well as drinking a large amount of alcohol at one time (binge drinking).
- Use of stimulants. These include caffeine, nicotine, medicines such as decongestants, and illegal drugs such as cocaine.
- Use of some prescription medicines, such as albuterol or theophylline.
Sometimes doctors can't find the cause. Doctors call this lone atrial fibrillation.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms may include:
- Feeling dizzy or lightheaded.
- Feeling out of breath.
- Feeling weak and tired.
- Feeling like the heart is fluttering, racing, or pounding (palpitations).
- Feeling like the heart is beating unevenly.
- Having chest pain (angina).
- Fainting.
Sometimes atrial fibrillation doesn't cause obvious symptoms.
If you have symptoms, see your doctor. Finding and treating atrial fibrillation right away can help you avoid serious problems.
How is atrial fibrillation diagnosed?
The doctor will ask questions about your past health, do a physical exam, and order tests.
The best way to find out if you have atrial fibrillation is to have an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG). An EKG is a test that checks for problems with the heart's electrical activity.
You might also have lab tests and an echocardiogram. An echocardiogram can show how well your heart is pumping and whether your heart valves are damaged.
How is it treated?
Your treatment will depend on the cause of your atrial fibrillation, your symptoms, and your risk for stroke.
Medicines are an important part of treatment. They may include:
- Blood thinners or aspirin to help prevent strokes.
- Rate-control medicines to keep your heart from beating too fast during atrial fibrillation.
- Rhythm-control medicines to help bring your heart rhythm back to normal.
Doctors sometimes use a procedure called cardioversion to try to get the heartbeat back to normal. This can be done using either medicine or a low-voltage electrical shock (electrical cardioversion).
If symptoms keep bothering you, ablation may help. It destroys small areas of the heart to create scar tissue. The scar tissue blocks or destroys the areas that are causing the abnormal heart rhythm.
What can you do at home for atrial fibrillation?
Atrial fibrillation is often the result of heart disease or damage. So making changes that improve the condition of your heart may also improve your overall health.
- Don't smoke. Avoid secondhand smoke too.
- Eat a heart-healthy diet with plenty of fish, fruits, vegetables, beans, high-fiber grains and breads, and olive oil.
- Get regular exercise on most, preferably all, days of the week. Your doctor can suggest a safe level of exercise for you.
- Control your cholesterol and blood pressure. If you have diabetes, keep your blood sugar in your target range.
- Manage your stress. Stress can damage your heart.
- Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and stimulants.
- Avoid getting sick from the flu. Get a flu shot every year.

Living with atrial fibrillation:
Atrial fibrillation is a problem with the heart's electrical system.
When something goes wrong with this system, it's usually because of other health problems that are causing wear and tear on the heart or making it hard for the heart to do its job. Sometimes it's because of lifestyle habits—such as smoking or heavy drinking—that are hard on the heart.
Problems that affect the heart's structure
Atrial fibrillation is often caused by a health problem that directly affects the heart, including:
- High blood pressure .
- Coronary artery disease .
- Heart attack .
- Heart valve disease .
- Cardiomyopathy.
Other health problems
Atrial fibrillation can also be caused by other health problems, including:
- Hyperthyroidism .
- Lung disease, such as COPD.
- Having heart surgery or other open-chest surgery.
- Taking certain prescription medicines, such as albuterol or theophylline.
Atrial fibrillation caused by a condition that is treatable, such as pneumonia or hyperthyroidism, often goes away when that condition is treated.
In some cases, doctors cannot find the cause of atrial fibrillation. These cases are called lone atrial fibrillation. Lone atrial fibrillation occurs more often in people younger than 65. It often stops on its own. But it may need to be treated.
Atrial fibrillation is often discovered during routine medical checkups, because many people don't have symptoms. Others may notice an irregular pulse but don't have other symptoms.
Mild symptoms of atrial fibrillation may occur immediately. More serious problems may occur after the start of atrial fibrillation and over the course of several days. So it is important to identify symptoms and get treatment as soon as possible.
Symptoms include:
- Heart palpitations .
- Irregular pulse.
- Shortness of breath, especially during physical activity or emotional stress.
- Weakness, fatigue.
- Chest pain.
- Dizziness, confusion.
- Lightheadedness or fainting (syncope).
Checking your pulse
Checking your pulse is important, because many people don't have symptoms of atrial fibrillation. Ask your doctor how often you should check your heartbeat. Once a month might be right for you.
If you notice that your heartbeat doesn't have a regular rhythm, talk to your doctor.
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
When atrial fibrillation comes on suddenly, lasts a short time, and goes away on its own, it is called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Typically, over time, episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation come on more often and last longer.
Persistent atrial fibrillation
Over time, episodes of atrial fibrillation typically last longer and often don't go away on their own. If an episode lasts more than 7 days, this is called persistent atrial fibrillation. Treatment with medicine or cardioversion can restore a normal rhythm. This normal rhythm may last for several weeks or longer before atrial fibrillation happens again.
Permanent atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation might start to happen all of the time. If atrial fibrillation has happened all of the time for at least 1 year, this is called permanent atrial fibrillation. Your treatments have not restored a normal rhythm, or you and your doctor have decided to stop trying to restore a normal rhythm.
What Increases Your Risk
A risk factor is anything that increases your chances of getting sick or having a problem. Risk factors for atrial fibrillation include:
- Age older than 60.
- Being white and male.
- Obesity.
- Sleep apnea .
- A family history of atrial fibrillation.
- Certain other health problems can cause atrial fibrillation. For a list of these problems, see Cause.
Lifestyle choices
You may have certain habits that increase your risk for atrial fibrillation because they can cause wear and tear on your heart. These lifestyle choices include:
- Long-term, heavy alcohol use, or drinking a large amount of alcohol at one time (binge drinking).
- Use of illegal drugs, such as cocaine or methamphetamines.
- Too much caffeine.
- Smoking.
When to Call a Doctor
Call 911 or other emergency services immediately if you:
- Have symptoms of a heart attack, such as chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, and nausea.
- Have symptoms of a stroke, such as sudden vision changes; trouble speaking; or numbness, tingling, weakness, or loss of movement in your face or an arm or a leg.
- Feel faint and have an irregular heartbeat.
If you see someone pass out, call 911 or other emergency services immediately.
Call your doctor if you have:
- An irregular heart rate.
- Heart palpitations .
- Periods of unexplained lightheadedness, dizziness, or confusion.
- An episode of fainting or you come close to fainting for no apparent reason.
- Shortness of breath that gets worse with exercise.
If you take a blood thinner
If you take blood-thinning medicine, such as an anticoagulant or aspirin, watch for signs of bleeding.
Call 911 or other emergency services immediately if you:
- You have a sudden, severe headache that is different from past headaches. (It may be a sign of bleeding in the brain.)
Call your doctor right away if you have any unusual bleeding, such as:
- Nosebleeds.
- Vaginal bleeding that is different (heavier, more frequent, at a different time of the month) than what you are used to.
- Bloody or black stools, or rectal bleeding.
- Bloody or pink urine.
Who to see
The following health professionals can detect, diagnose and, in some cases, treat atrial fibrillation:
The following specialists can treat people who have severe symptoms:
Exams and Tests
An electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG) is the best and simplest way to find out whether you have atrial fibrillation. It is usually done along with a medical history and physical exam.
If your doctor suspects that you have atrial fibrillation that comes and goes, he or she may ask you to use a device to record your heart rhythm for a while. This is referred to by several names, including ambulatory electrocardiogram, ambulatory EKG, Holter monitoring, 24-hour EKG, and cardiac event monitoring. Your doctor might also use this device to check how well a medicine is working to control your heart rate.
Other tests
Other tests your doctor may recommend include:
- Electrophysiology (EP) study . This test can help your doctor see if there is a problem with your heartbeat (heart rhythm) and find out how to fix it.
- Exercise electrocardiogram . Also called a stress test, this test will help your doctor see whether you have coronary artery disease.
- Echocardiogram . This test can show whether your heart valves are damaged, how well your heart is pumping, and whether you have heart failure or have had a heart attack.
- A blood test to check for hyperthyroidism.
- Prothrombin time and INR . If you take warfarin (such as Coumadin), you will need to have this type of blood test regularly to check how long it takes for your blood to clot.
Treatment Overview
It's hard to say exactly what your treatment for atrial fibrillation will be, because it depends so much on your symptoms and your risk for other health problems.
Treatments are aimed at helping you feel better and preventing future problems, especially stroke and heart failure. There are three main types of treatment:
- Treatment to control your heart rate.
- Treatment to control your heart rhythm.
- Treatment to prevent stroke.
Treatment to control your heart rate
Rate-control medicines are used if your heart rate is too fast.
They usually do not return your heart to a normal rhythm—in other words, your heartbeat will still be irregular. But these medicines can keep your heart from beating at a dangerously fast rate. These medicines may also relieve symptoms.
Treatment to control your heart rhythm
Treatment to control your heart rhythm is done to try to stop atrial fibrillation and keep it from returning. It may also help your symptoms. Treatments include:
- Rhythm-control medicines, also called antiarrhythmics.
- Electrical cardioversion. This procedure uses a low-voltage electrical shock to return the heart to a normal rhythm.
- Catheter ablation. This might be done if your medicine hasn't brought back a normal heartbeat, or it's too hard to live with the side effects of medicine.
- Maze procedure. This is usually done during open-heart surgery. It creates scar tissue that blocks excess electrical impulses from traveling through your heart.
Treatment to prevent stroke
Atrial fibrillation is dangerous because if the heartbeat isn't strong and steady, blood can collect, or pool, in the atria. And pooled blood is more likely to form clots. Clots can travel through the bloodstream to the brain and other areas such as the legs. If clots travel to the brain, they can block blood flow and cause a stroke.
If you are at an average-to-high risk of having a stroke, your doctor may prescribe long-term use of an anticoagulant medicine, such as warfarin, to lower this risk.
If you are at low risk of having a stroke or you cannot take an anticoagulant, you may choose to take daily aspirin.
For more information, see Medications.
Do all you can to prevent heart disease, which is a cause of atrial fibrillation. Take steps toward a heart-healthy lifestyle.
- Manage your stress.
- Exercise regularly.
- Eat heart-healthy foods.
- Control your blood pressure.
- Lose extra weight.
- Don't smoke.
Living With Atrial Fibrillation
Many people are able to live full and active lives with atrial fibrillation. Most people don't have to change their daily activities.
Because atrial fibrillation is often the result of a heart condition, making changes to improve your heart condition will usually improve your overall health.
Make lifestyle changes
- Don't smoke. If you need help quitting, see the topic Quitting Smoking.
- Eat heart-healthy foods.
- Try an exercise program. Talk to your doctor about what type and level of exercise is safe for you.
- Control your stress. Treatments like yoga, biofeedback, and meditation may help.
- Don't use alcohol, caffeine, or stimulants, such as methamphetamines or cocaine.
- Control your weight. For more information, see the topic Weight Management.
For more information, see:
- Atrial Fibrillation and Daily Life.
- Heart Rhythm Problems: How to Travel Safely.
- Arrhythmias and Sexual Activity.
Prevent other health problems
- If needed, take medicines to control your cholesterol and blood pressure.
- Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medicine. Tell your doctor all of the medicines you take. Some prescription and nonprescription medicine can interact with your heart medicines. Some nonprescription medicines, especially cold and herbal remedies, contain stimulants that can trigger atrial fibrillation.
- Get a flu vaccine every year.
- Know the signs of sleep apnea. Tell your doctor if you have symptoms such as snoring and feeling sleepy during the day. Many people with atrial fibrillation also have this condition.
Take medicines safely
When you take an anticoagulant (also called a blood thinner), you need to take extra steps to avoid bleeding problems, such as preventing falls and injuries. If you take warfarin, you also get regular blood tests and watch how much vitamin K you eat or drink.
If you have atrial fibrillation, you will likely take a medicine to help prevent a stroke. You may also take a medicine that controls your heart rate or your heart rhythm.
Medicine to prevent a stroke
Anticoagulant medicines, also called blood thinners, are recommended for most people with atrial fibrillation who are at average to high risk of stroke.
Anticoagulant choices include:
- Warfarin (Coumadin).
Anticoagulants other than warfarin.
- Apixaban (Eliquis)
- Dabigatran (Pradaxa)
- Rivaroxaban (Xarelto)
If you are age 55 or older and have atrial fibrillation, you can find your risk of having a stroke in the next 5 years using this Interactive Tool: What Is Your Risk for a Stroke if You Have Atrial Fibrillation?
For help deciding about an anticoagulant, see:
Aspirin and other antiplatelet medicines
If you are at low risk of stroke or cannot take anticoagulants, your doctor may recommend that you take aspirin. It doesn't work as well as anticoagulant medicines in preventing clots, but it doesn't have as many side effects.
Your doctor may have you take other antiplatelet medicines, such as clopidogrel (Plavix), along with aspirin or instead of aspirin. When aspirin and clopidogrel are used together, they may reduce the risk for stroke more than aspirin alone. This combination of clopidogrel and aspirin doesn't work as well as an anticoagulant to prevent clots. Also, this combination is more likely to cause bleeding than aspirin alone.
Medicine to control your heart rate
Rate-control medicines are used if your heart rate is too fast. The medicine slows your heart rate. Your heart rate may not need to be very low. A heart rate of 110 beats per minute may be enough to help you.1
These medicines include:
Rate-control medicines may relieve symptoms caused by the fast heart rate. But these medicines may not relieve other symptoms caused by atrial fibrillation.
Medicine to control your heart rhythm
Rhythm-control medicines (also known as antiarrhythmics) help return the heart to its normal rhythm and keep atrial fibrillation from returning. They may help relieve symptoms caused by an irregular heart rate.
Other Treatment
Electrical cardioversion
Electrical cardioversion uses a low-voltage electrical shock to return an irregular heartbeat to a normal rhythm.
Catheter ablation
If medicine doesn't help atrial fibrillation, a procedure called catheter ablation may be done. It destroys the heart tissue that causes atrial fibrillation and that keeps atrial fibrillation going after it starts.
For help deciding whether catheter ablation is a good choice for you, see:
Pacemakers are sometimes needed by people who have atrial fibrillation.

Cross River Reservoir, New York (Photo courtesy of @JoshDickPhoto.com, via http://www.foodsystemsnyc.org/node/2193)
The term watershed is used (especially in North America and Europe) to indicate an area of land from which all water falling as rain or snow would flow toward a single point. This includes both surface water flow, such as rivers, streams and creeks, and the underground movement of water. The boundaries and the area of such a watershed are determined by first specifying geographic point on land. A line is then drawn which connects all of the points of highest elevation immediately adjacent to that point. The watershed area would be the land area within those boundaries. The watershed of the Amazon River would include all of the tributaries that flow into it so it would actually contain several hundred smaller watersheds. The watershed is thus defined hydrologically, that is, by the specific river or stream. Watershed and drainage basin or catchment are used synonymously and all of them refer to the area of land drained by a river system. Three hydrological types of watershed can be distinguished:
- Exorheic watershed, which empty to the sea and represent the major part of the drainage of all of the continents except Australia.
- Endorheic watershed, which discharge inland, into closed lake basins, and are mainly (but not exclusively) restricted to the arid and semi-arid regions.
- [Arheic] regions, which is the region within which no rivers arise (the lower part of the Nile, Oranje and Niger, all in Africa, are a good examples of this category of basin).
Watershed identification is now a primary tool for environmental planning. Called watershed management areas, these geographic units are utilized to gain an understanding of what happens to the surface or groundwater in the upper elevations of a watershed because that is imperative for the interpretation of local phenomenon. In some locales, the term "watershed" actually refers to the height of land between two catchment areas.

Coming Out Intersex
Officer Darlene Harris, of the Atlanta Police Department, is intersex.
Intersex people are born with chromosomal anomalies or ambiguous genitalia. The medical term "hermaphrodite" has been used, but is not accepted by many intersex people. Medical professionals commonly assign a male or female gender to the individual and proceed to perform gender assignment surgeries beginning in infancy and often continuing into adolescence, before a child is able to give informed consent. Read more about intersexuality here. And read Officer Harris' story in The Atlanta Constitution-Journal.
For Officer Harris, discovering her intersexuality was the lifting of a great burden of misunderstanding about herself. "It was like, 'OK, I'm not crazy,' All of these things came together full circle at that moment. I now understood the reason why I am the way I am... It's freedom, total freedom. It's like I can fly."
For further research and resource for and about the intersex community, be sure to check out the Intersex Society of North America.

Explain how in the world can you come out intersex. Intersex is not a lifestyle like the transgender people. Intersex is a medical condition and you people are mixing up lifestyles with medical conditions. You people are conflating the two and mixing them up can be very dangerous.

Nicky coming out as intersexed is much worse than just being gay, no it's not a lifestyle but telling people who different we are is much worse, after living this dirty secret being classed as a friek telling even people who know you is the worse thing ever. When you say you people does that mean your not intersexed if that is true you have no idea how it is to live in our shoes.

Midsouth Bancorp Stock Downgraded (MSL)
TheStreet) -- Midsouth Bancorp (AMEX: MSL) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, compelling growth in net income and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the stock has had a generally disappointing performance in the past year. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
-- Written by a member of TheStreet Ratings Staff
TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model.
- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 29.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 30.8%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Commercial Banks industry. The net income increased by 289.5% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $0.74 million to $2.89 million.
- MIDSOUTH BANCORP INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, MIDSOUTH BANCORP INC reported lower earnings of $0.27 versus $0.47 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.96 versus $0.27).
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Commercial Banks industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, MIDSOUTH BANCORP INC underperformed against that of the industry average and is significantly less than that of the S&P 500.
- MSL is off 7.29% from its price level of one year ago, reflecting the general market trend and ignoring their higher earnings per share compared to the year-earlier quarter. Looking ahead, we do not see anything in this company's numbers that would change the one-year trend. It was down over the last twelve months; and it could be down again in the next twelve. Naturally, a bull or bear market could sway the movement of this stock.

It was slightly different in that those nicknames / monikers tended to come about naturally e.g. Swinton Lions after the lions pub or the need to differentiate themselves from other sides like Rochdale FC / RFC (don't know which). They weren't created with the thought of flogging T-shirts or creating mascots. City Reds has that feel even if it was adopted in 1998.
I'm not against the SL style nicknames but most of them have little thought behind them, it is just a case of looking up a synonym for "soldier" or the name of a large animal. The best ones were those that came via fan polls.
No idea how Fev ended up as Rovers but I like it.
Taken from the Hornets' Centenary Booklet:-
The first meeting of the Hornets' Football Club was held on 20 April 1871 at the Roebuck Hotel, when the title was fixed upon.
There was much discussion as to a name for the club at the 1871 meeting. Rochdale Wasps, Rochdale Butterflies, Rochdale Grasshoppers were first suggested, but "at last some enlightened individual proposed a name that took their fancy more, Rochdale Hornets, and Hornets it has been ever since."
So, as artificial a name as any of the more modern ones created by a club's board of directors; it just seems traditional because of the length of time it's been around. And, in a late 19th and early 20th century context, it will have been used in marketing.

The Premier is a 4-door sedan featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. In GTA San Andreas, it is the civilian version of the Taxi and the Police Car, it also appears to be a "cousin" of the bulkier Elegant.
GTA San Andreas
The Premier strongly resembles a 1991-1994 Chevrolet Caprice, but it might be the 1991 or 1992 because they fit in with the game's setting; the taillights, which are rectangular in shape as opposed to the Caprice's rounder taillights, might have some influence from 1992-1994 Ford Crown Victoria's. Its very boxy greenhouse looks closer to the Australian Holden VK Commodore but this may be to conserve graphics, this may in fact be the likely cause since a beta Police Car had a more detailed resemblance to a Caprice.[1]
The Premier is the base car for San Andreas' Taxi and the San Fierro Police Department and Los Santos Police Department's Police Cars.
GTA IV and GTA V
In GTA IV, the Declasse-manufactured Premier is designed as a compact, four-door sedan that is based on a Chevrolet Cobalt sedan with some details that resembles a 2005-2011 T250 Chevrolet Aveo Sedan (obviously for its four-door design but also for its taillight design). The front of the car appears similar to Chevrolet Cobalt sedan and the Pinnacle. The taillights appear similar to the 2005-2011 Chevrolet Aveo tailights, and are reminiscent of the taillights of the 2006-2009 Ford Fusion. The Premier is powered by a 4.0L V6 engine with 5 gears and RWD. The car also comes with a Hybrid option.
The Premier appears in brief in the first GTA V trailer, with its design retained in the GTA IV rendition.
GTA San Andreas
In GTA San Andreas, its acceleration, speed, and handling are all quite impressive, while the sturdiness and bulk of the chassis render the Premier capable of withstanding heavy damage, making this front-engine, rear-drive beast simply one of the best passenger vehicles in the game. The strong engine, responsive handling, and sturdy frame also make the Premier an ideal car for performing the PIT maneuver and for ramming other vehicles, hence its use as a police car. You also use the Police Car version, to learn how to do the PIT maneuver in Driving School. The Premier is likely to be powered by a large V8. Premier's Drag Multiplier is 1.8, which is more aerodynamic than any other top end supercar, except for the Infernus where the Drag Multiplier is 1. It is officially the third most aerodynamic car in the game.
Police and taxi variants
One interesting note is that performance aspects for the Premier come in in three variations in GTA San Andreas: mediocre, impressive, and fantastic. The version of the Premier with the worst performance is the Taxi, with modest acceleration and speed, and a heavy, lumbering frame. Next is the civilian version, with its outstanding performance and lighter chassis. Last is the Police version, which is the civilian Premier with a slightly more powerful engine and increased durability, and truly one of the best vehicles in the game.
Other variations include the fact that the Taxi is the only front-wheel drive version of the Premier, partly explaining its comparatively poor performance. Furthermore, the San Fierro police car enjoys improved suspension over that of the police car in Los Santos (most likely due to San Fierro's hilly streets).
The Premier in GTA IV has a 4.0L V6 coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in a rear-wheel drive layout. The engine itself is responsive, propelling the vehicle off the line quickly, and giving it an outstanding top speed of 179 mph for an everyday sedan, but its gear ratio kills acceleration, since the gears are apparently very far apart. Handling is rather good for a car in the mid-sized 4 door class, keeping the Premier stable in most turns, though some oversteer can be felt. The suspension is rather soft however, giving way to body roll. Braking is adequate, though not as good as other sedans. Crash deformation is below average, with the Premier stalling after only a few collisions.

Grand Theft Auto V
- The Premier plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- CSR 103.9 in GTA San Andreas.
- Electro-Choc or Radio Broker in GTA IV.
- The Premier features the "Door Ajar" Chime, which can be heard with the driver's door open in quiet areas.
- The Premier in GTA IV features dual exhaust tips, however, there is a glitch, that the left pipe spews out fumes, while the right one doesn't.
- The modding community often refers to civilian versions of the police car and taxi in GTA 3 and Vice City, as the "Premier", since the name of the model they are based on in those games is unknown.
- It is seen in the first GTA V trailer, hinting it may return in the game.
- "Premier" means "first" in French.
- It's the only car in the GTA III era that has a police and taxi variant.
- There is a special colour set on the Premier rarely seen. It's with the colour of Gracie Ancelotti's Feltzer with a shade of red.

A small fire caused a little commotion at a Greenville hotel Wednesday night. The fire was at a poolhouse just before 7:00 p.m Wednesday at the Best Western at 2310 Greenville Boulevard NE. No one was in or near it at the time. Thanks to the quick response of Greenville Fire/ Rescue, the fire was put out quickly. A fire official tells WITN a plug overheated in an outlet and sparked the fire.

London gets ready for Queen's Diamond Jubilee weekend of celebrations
09:10 01 June 2012
Final preparations are under way for the massive weekend of Diamond Jubilee celebrations to mark the Queen's 60-year reign.
Up to a million people are expected to line the banks of the River Thames and nearby open spaces to watch a majestic 1,000-strong flotilla sail through London on Sunday.
And stars including Stevie Wonder, Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John will perform at a concert at Buckingham Palace on Monday in honour of the longest reigning monarch since Queen Victoria.
Almost six million Britons plan to throw a Jubilee party this weekend, according to a study.
A St Paul's Cathedral service of thanksgiving will be the highlight of Tuesday, ending with the Queen appearing on Buckingham Palace's balcony to acknowledge the tens of thousands expected to fill The Mall.
The celebrations begin on tomorrow with the Queen enjoying her traditional outing to the Epsom Derby. A family festival takes place in Hyde Park.
With London expected to be packed to see Sunday's river pageant, the event could be accompanied by showers and cold conditions.
While Monday - the first of two Jubilee bank holidays - could be drier and brighter, bank holiday Tuesday could see another weather front arriving from the west, bringing more rain.
Transport for London advises motorists to avoid central London for all but essential journeys over the weekend.
London transport commissioner Peter Hendy said: "Central London will be very busy throughout the weekend and everyone intending to be in central London should use public transport, plan their journeys ahead and check before they travel."
Traffic information company Inrix said severe congestion is likely in London on Sunday, with the river pageant closing seven Thames bridges.
At dawn today hundreds of soldiers rode on horseback through the deserted streets of London to rehearse the state procession for the Jubilee.
Members of the Armed Forces performed a full dress rehearsal ahead of the spectacle on Tuesday.
The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment rode from the Palace of Westminster along Whitehall to Trafalgar Square, then through Admiralty Arch and along the Mall to Buckingham Palace.
The route was lined with personnel from the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, Foot Guards and Massed Bands of the Household Division, the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment and the Queen's Colour Squadron of the Royal Air Force.
The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery simulated firing a 60-gun salute on Horse Guards Parade as some 2,000 servicemen and women took part in the rehearsal.
The 1902 state landau carriage, which will transport the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh from a service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral on Tuesday and was used by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on their wedding day, followed behind the mounted regiment, but remained empty.
Warrant Officer 1 Paul Barker, state ceremonial training officer for the Royal Navy, said he was delighted by how well it had gone.
"It went very well this morning. We are at the right stage that we need to be at, we don't want to peak too early but it's everything I expected them to achieve.
"On Tuesday there will be a mixture of nerves and pride; this is a one-off event, it's not going to happen again in our lifetime and it will give us lots and lots of memories for the future.
"We have lots of pep talks with our sailors and it's nice to see young sailors in naval uniform on the streets of the capital."

With spring trends popping up left and right, I took the liberty of weeding out one must-have item for everyone – and I mean everyone. From the of-the-moment men's shoe to the dress to be seen in on the playground, this is what the stylish will be rocking this season.
For Men: The Smoking Slipper
Laces were so last year. For 2013, step into spring with these oh-so-dapper slip-ons (and skip the socks).
For Women: Graphic Prints
Warning: This trend is not for the faint of heart, so go big or go home – and keep those accessories minimal.
For Girls: The Shirtdress
This trend has already spread like wildfire for us grown-ups, and now it's all over the playgrounds, too.
For Home: Houndstooth
A menswear classic, let this traditional pattern (in new color combos) sharpen up your space in the form of shower curtains, throws, and decorative pillows.
Our Big. Rue. Sale. Boutique opens Thursday, March 14, at 11AM ET.

Comments On Jun 26, 2014:If you ride even moderately hard and enjoy a jump or two, STAY AWAY. The ball joints on these things are straight trash and the A-arms have WAY too much flex in them. I have gone through 2 sets of ball joints now and its ridiculous. Right now I have tie downs holding the ball joints into the hub because any time I jump, it strips them out and my hug would fall off.
If you are buying these to save money realize you wont be saving anything. You will end up buying something different latter on.
Good luck

Comments On Mar 18, 2014:well this is my second review as I had to share this with other riders considering buying these a arms. I bought these a arms about 6-7 yrs ago and have been on my quad since performing very well and still do after all this.
story goes is I was out riding with some friends on some private property we were allowed to ride at. we all were experience riders of many years and we tend to ride a little fast through the woods. well I was first in line and we were cruising pretty good on a windy turny trail. well this particular day some one unknown to us and wasn't supposed to be on the property parked his quad right in the middle of the trail on a turn. I came around the corner ripping in 3rd gear and bam! plowed right into the right side of the parked quad sending me flying and busting both our quads up. I bent the tie rods, folded a rim over, bent the handlebars, twisted my dg bumper, busted one of the ball joints, snapped the end cap of my hmf exhaust off and not to mention I was sore for weeks. well after I got my quad apart, and thoroughly checked and measured my frame for straightness (thank god is wasn't bent or twisted at all and I don't know how) I figured my a arms were toast but after mounting them on a spare frame I had that was perfectly straight I was completely surprised! they hadn't bent a mm!!! did a ton of measuring and nothing was out of whack! other than a busted ball joint they came out of the accident untouched! not even a crack around any welds!
long story short they are by far some top notch a arms In my book and I would highly recommend them

Comments On Feb 12, 2008:I have been running the +2 chromolly a-arms for about 8 months now with a set of Pro-G 4 Series WORKS Performance shocks. I run a lot of XC style riding, and these take a lot of abuse. Yet these things still look great. The powder coating is really strong. These make a huge improvement over stock. I have been on a lot of other bikes with aftermarket a-arms, but for this kind of ride and the price you pay you just can't beat these! Buy a set of these you won't be disappointed. These are completely serviceable every last piece and have a great warranty.

WASHINGTON—Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says thousands of National Park Service workers would be furloughed, and thousands more seasonal workers would not be hired under automatic spending cuts set to take effect Friday.

Visiting hours at all 398 national parks are likely to be cut and sensitive areas would be blocked off to the public under what Salazar termed "draconian" cuts required by a budget-cutting law. Salazar said the park service's $112 million in cuts are especially grim, since they hit just as parks are preparing for an influx of spring and summer visitors.
Salazar and National Park Service director Jon Jarvis said visitors will encounter fewer rangers, locked restrooms and see trashcans emptied less often if Congress does not reach a deal to avoid 5 percent across-the-board cuts.

|This article or section needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of GTA Wiki
High Dive is a mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony. It is given by Yusuf Amir to Luis Lopez.
In Yusuf's apartment, Yusuf will be on the phone with a business associate. Then his father calls, and Luis realizes that all of the money, wealth and material possessions around him aren't really his, but his father's. Undeterred, Yusuf needs Luis to come along with him to somehow legitimize it. Yusuf and Luis head outside and drive to Rotterdam Tower for a meeting. Upon arriving, Yusuf asks Luis to go up and scope things out. Luis then arrives at the observation decks and sees Tahir Saeed and Ahmed Khalil. Both act suspiciously and repeatedly question where Yusuf is. Suspecting something's up, Luis threatens Tahir to let him what's going on. When he refuses to talk, but hints that Luis just walked into a bad situation, Luis throws him off of the building. Tahir lands on a taxi, badly damaging it, and dies. while Ahmed flees. NOOSE agents starting closing in.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to Rotterdam Tower
- Take the elevator to the top of the tower
- Go and meet Ahmed
- Chase Ahmed up the Tower
- You have the parachute, now jump off the building
100% Objectives
Complete the mission in 4:10
Take less than 50% damage
Kill six enemies via headshots
Have 70% accuracy
Destroy four helicopters
Free fall for a short length of time.
Chase Ahmed, while shooting both officers and NOOSE Annihilators. The Explosive Shotgun is best for this part of the mission. It should take at one shot to kill an officer close up, and least two at range, and three to four to down the Annihilators. Ahmed is heading up, so follow him up the ramp, stairs and three short ladders, wiping out any NOOSE who get in your way. Eventually you should get to the spire, with a ladder in the middle. Start climbing. It takes about thirty seconds to get to the top, and it only leads to another, shorter, ladder. Again, start climbing after Ahmed until he reaches the very top. Finally, you have Ahmed cornered on the spire, who reveals that he and Tahir wanted to get Yusuf on a wire for NOOSE. He also shows the Parachute he was planning to make his escape with. Luis takes the parachute and lunges at Ahmed, who steps back, falling off the spire to his death.
Ahmed is dead, but you still have a four-star wanted level. So use your parachute to jump off the building to freedom. Free fall for a couple of seconds, then pull the cord to deploy the chute. Landing outside of the search radius is unnecessary, as once you reach the ground, the wanted level is lost. Mission passed.
Video Walkthrough
- Tahir Saeed - Killed by Luis for tipping off the cops to get Yusuf "out of the picture".
- Ahmed Khalil - Killed by Luis for tipping off the cops to get Yusuf "out of the picture".
- Many NOOSE agents - Killed by Luis during an ambush.
- On rare occasions, Tahir will miss the taxi when he falls to his death, though the taxi driver still reacts to Tahir falling in front of him.
- Sometimes, two Annihilators will crash into each other, destroying both helicopters. The Annihilators may also crash into the tower.
- This is one of the missions that a vehicle is destroyed by someones body, the other is Deconstruction for Beginners in GTA IV, where a lookout falls into a Cavalcade, destroying it.
- This is the first appearance and use of the parachute in TBOGT.
- If you get out of the car when you head to the tower, sometimes Yusuf Amir will hit you with the car when he drives away.

Success seems to breed success at Rifle High School. That, at least, is the consensus thought of some of the coaches at the school this spring."We've had a really good year," said first-year track coach John Scraebeck, noting the accomplishments of the football and basketball teams earlier in the school year. "It's nice to be a Rifle Bear right now."There was plenty of success for the spring sports teams a year ago to motivate the Bears as they head into the 2013 season. Rifle's boys track and field team was the runner-up at the Class 3A state meet, Rifle's girls golf team won a regional title and finished seventh at state, and Rifle's baseball teams had one of its best seasons on record.This year, each one of the teams playing in the spring is shooting for an even better performance.Following are looks at the spring sports teams at Rifle High School. All information included was provided by the team's coaches.BASEBALLCoach: Troy Phillips (17th season).Last Year: 17-3 overall, first place Class 3A Western Slope League (Lost to Weld Central, 6-0, in first round of Class 3A state playoffs).Key returnees: Danny Bartels, Sr., P/IF; Triston Quigley, Sr., IF/P; Baily Hoffmeister, Jr., UT; Tanner Quick, Jr., OF; Teig Hauer, Jr., 2B; Wyatt Robinson, Jr., C; Mitch Ray, Jr., OF.Others to watch: Mitch Ray, Jr., OF; Dalton Bornholdt, Jr., 1B; Layton Stutsman, Soph, OF; Angel Diaz, Soph., IF/P.Look ahead: The jump to Class 4A won't be a monumental one for Rifle. The Bears won the 3A WSL title a year ago and have a winning record against each 4A WSL team in Phillips' 17 years at the helm. ... Bartels returns as an all-state pitcher from a year ago, setting school records in innings pitched (71), strikeouts (100) and wins (10) with a team-best .386 batting average at the plate. ... Quigley was the league's defensive player of the year in 2012 and tied Bartels for the team lead in batting average. Rifle opened the season on March 8 and 9, losing a 4-2 decision to Thomas Jefferson on the road.TRACK AND FIELDCoach: John Scrabeck (First season)Last year: Boys team won Class 3A Western Slope League regional, second place in 3A state meet; girls team placed third at 3A state meet.Key Athletes: Ryan Moeller, Sr., relays and sprints; Aaron Wagler, Sr., middle distance and relays; Braden Smith, Jr., throws; Kellin Leigh, Jr., pole vault and relays; Cody Rice, Jr., middle distance and relays; Joey Kuheim, Sr., throws; Carsyn Copeland, Sr., high jump and sprints; Brittany Neuroth, Jr., throws; Tori Pressler, Soph., middle distance and distance; Abby Orgill, Sr., throws.Look ahead: Scrabeck has been a part of the coaching staff at Rifle for the past four years, but he took on the head coaching duties when Josh Keppler left after last season. ... The Bears will move up to 4A this season after the boys managed a second-place finish in the 3A meet a year ago, but that doesn't worry them. Rifle has numbers this year, as 82 athletes have signed up for track and 70 are practicing with the team on a full-time basis. The others are also competing in other sports.GIRLS SOCCERCoach: Richard Carter (third season)Last year: 3-11-1 overall, 2-7-0 in 3A Western Slope League play (eighth place).Key Returnees: Julia Navarro, Sr., MF; Katie Harmon, Jr., MF; Selina Renova, Sr., Def.; Sarah McCutchen, Jr., MF/F; Karen Garcia, Jr., Def.; Madison Carter, Jr., F; Isa Rios, Sr., MF; Darliene Otero, Sr., F; Liz Vasquez, Sr., Def.Others to watch: Sophia Bustillos, Fr., GK; Michelle Ruiz, Fr., GK; Cidney Gardner, Fr., GK; Katelyn Shanahan, Jr., Def.; Melissa Rodriguez, Jr., MF.Look ahead: Carter likes the way his team looks, touting its aggressiveness and its overall defensive tenacity, but admits that the Bears have a lot to improve on. "We're definitely looking to improve on last season's record," he said. ... Depth has been a problem for Rifle in the past, but not this year. All total, 42 girls have come out, almost giving Rifle enough to field two junior varsity programs. ... Navarro and Harmon are slated to anchor the Bears' defense at midfield, which will help a squad with three freshmen vying for the starting goalkeeper position.GIRLS GOLFCoach: Britt Choate (Fourth season).Last year: Regional champions at the 3A level, placed seventh in 3A state meet.Key Returnees: Taylor Walters, Sr., Alyx Carter, Jr.Others to watch: Manisa Balasundaram, Jr., Monika Spaulding, Fr., Emily Neuroth, Fr.Look ahead: Rifle did more than just meet its goals for the season last year. The Bears exceeded them, especially with their regional title and finish at the 3A state meet. Choate feels confident that both Walters and Carter will build on their success from last season, but also feels some of that success will trickle down to the team's new players. "It should be a lot of fun to watch these young ladies play golf this year," Choate said.

- "Liability? Liability for what? Now, there's three of us and I'm getting 20%. What type of math is that? That's fool's math, playa! You and Mike. I'd sell my soul to you guys, and that's what it's going to come down to, huh? Screwing me out of my 13%."
- — Jizzy's math calculations.
T-Bone Mendez is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given by the Loco Syndicate to protagonist Carl Johnson. Collect this mission outside Jizzy's Pleasure Domes in Battery Point, San Fierro.
Mission Brief
Jizzy is unhappy with T-Bone. There are 3 people involved with the deal (namely Jizzy, T-Bone and Mike Toreno), and Jizzy is only getting 20%, insisting he should get 33%. T-Bone then receives a phone call, and apparently some shipments have been ambushed from a Boxville by bikers.
Head for the ambushed van under the highway leading to Garver Bridge. The thieves escape on bikes. There are 4 altogether. Grab the bike that is there, and give them a chase. The four bikes will scatter and head to different parts of the city; they will keep moving, so using the map to locate their general area and the radar to pinpoint where they are is essential. When you are close to the enemy, quickly snatch the package. Collect all 4 packages and take them back to Jizzy's Pleasure Domes. Be careful as the thieves will continue to chase and attack you, so you might want to kill them after snatching the package from them.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get to the ambushed van
- Chase down the bikers and collect all the packages
- Get the packages back to the Pleasure Domes
The reward for this is $5,000 and increased respect.
- The song featured in the mission cutscene is "Cold Blooded" by Rick James, it could also be heard at Bounce FM.
- To make things much easier, Carl can snipe a robber from a building. Doing so will alert the remaining robbers. Interestingly, after you snipe out a robber, Carl will immediately spawn near the bikes allowing you to chase the other bikers easily.
- Even if you snatch a package from the enemy's motorcycle and escape with them, they will still try to chase you down and kill you.
