Health officials are going door-to-door to alert people that a rabid fox attacked one of their neighbors.
Tests came back positive for a fox that attacked a Davis resident Thursday. The health department will distribute fliers in that part of Carteret County advising the neighbors of what precautions they should take.
The health department says there have been other foxes spotted in the same area, so residents are being urged to make sure rabies vaccinations for their pets are up to date.
So far this year there have been at least six rabid raccoons found in Carteret County, while it was discovered in July that two children were playing with a rabid bat.
"You can't always tell if an animal has rabies, so it's best to be cautious around both wild animals and domestic animals that you are not familiar with. An infected animal will eventually show symptoms of rabies: losing their fear of people, becoming aggressive, staggering and even becoming paralyzed. Wild animals that are the main concern are raccoons, fox and bats." says animal control supervisor Carolyn Mason.
The health department says if you're bitten or scratched by an animal, it is vital to wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water, and seek immediate medical care.
If a pet has been in a fight with a wild animal or another domestic animal, authorities say you should wear gloves or use some other type of barrier in handling the animal to avoid coming into contact with saliva.

The way Saint Peter explains it to the Devil who's knocking on Heaven's door to collect his share of souls: there will be no more souls, as God has come to doubt if humans are really meant to achieve salvation. If they aren't then how can they be punished posthumous and sent to Hell? There's only one way to make sure if sinning is the human nature, or is it that they simply don't want to better themselves - Devil himself must go down to Earth, in human form, and if he can achieve salvation then so can a human being... Based on A. H. Tammsaare's classic novel of the same name.

Last night was a great night to be a Cub fan if you're willing to dwell in the land of McFail. Nothing proves this team is on the right track more than Dontrell Willis winning his 21st game. If only the shirt he insists on wearing didn't read Florida. At some point some of these wins must revert to the Cubs otherwise, WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANDY HAVE EVEN BROUGHT IT UP???!!!
I don't see any comments
I don't see any comments about the actual game here, but it looks like they lost from the ambiance. Hard to tell, though. Things are always bitter here.

Speaking of Florida, oddsmakers have just installed them as Wild Card Favorites at 11-10.
Houston is 12-10 (6-5)
But the Cubs have slid as low as they go at 75-1 (the Pirates will only get you 75-1).
HOWEVER, according to my projections, if the Cubs continue to play ball NO WORSE than they have all season, these favorable late season matchups will result in an 82-80 record. In fact Andy McFail, Dim Hendry, and Dusty Faker should be fired if they finish under .500 .
To finish 82-80 Cubs must go 11-7:
Cincy 1-1
St.L 2-2
Mil 2-1
Hou 4-3
Pitt 2-0
14-4 actually gets them back into the race with an 85-77 record. Presently the wild card leaders Florida and Houston are on a pace to go 86-76. However they are in the midst of a four game series with each other and have tough remaining schedules so those winning percentages could easily drop and 85 wins could be all that's needed to enter the post season.
So the Cubs are going to go
So the Cubs are going to go 14-4 (a stretch difficult for a 100-win team to pull off) for 85-77, they'll do something like 5-2 against the Astros to render them helpless in the face of our tear, the (77-67) Marlins will be worse than 9-9, the (76-68) Phillies will be worse than 10-8, and the cow jumped over the moon. If both of those teams somehow miss those marks, then one has to look out for the Nationals going 13-5, because it'd be likely they acquired a bunch of those 13 with their six games against those teams.
Or, to put it another way: if you believe BP and the Marlins are, at heart, little better than .500 and the Cubs are likewise an 86 win-team... then we've still got a half-a-percent chance.
It is, however, cute that so many Cubs fans are oblivious to the reality that this team was a marginal player by mid-August.
Forcing to a record? Think
Forcing to a record? Think about it this way.
Dusty was going to play Macias and Neifi more because that "fans would appreciate it."
Let's see Maddux more because the fans will CERTAINLY appreciate THAT.
From Mike Kiley in the
From Mike Kiley in the Sun-Times:
"Baker strangely denied before Monday's game that he had told reporters Sunday in San Francisco that he would consider giving Maddux an extra start down the stretch if it becomes necessary for him to try and win 15.
''What I said was let's win three in a row and it'll be a moot point,'' Baker said.
Not exactly accurate. While saying that he wanted Maddux to win three in a row, a review of the taped conversation showed that what Baker also said was that he might work in an added start for Maddux if he needed it for a 15th win.
His reply was: ''Yeah, it depends on where we are. Certainly I'd like him to get to 15.''
Hard to misinterpret that."
I don't really have anything to add. I think the quote speaks for itself.
theriot has played mostly
theriot has played mostly 3rd this year?
hmm...I fairly certain he played second and shortstop most of the year.
Matt Craig and Casey Mcgehee played 3rd for the Jaxx most of the season.
It is no big shocker. When
It is no big shocker. When Baker's lies and double standards are exposed he just denies it or acts like it never happened. I have never seen a manager with less integrity than Dusty Baker.
As for Maddux, he probably knows he made a bad decision coming back to the Cubs. He probably thought the organization was finally getting out of it's rut, only to find out they have not learned a damn thing. I would bet money he will just simply retire than go through another season of misery with this crap collection of talent and attitude. Much less endure another season with the village idiot Baker at the helm.
I few weeks ago an article ran somewhere where Maddux was trying to teach some players some things and then a few of them would talk back and Maddux would just say "screw it" and walk off in frustration. No idea who those players are, but if a Hall of Famer is trying to give you tips and you blow him off this team is WAYYYYYYYY to fucking stupid to win baseball games.
"So the Cubs are going to go
"So the Cubs are going to go 14-4 (a stretch difficult for a 100-win team to pull off) for 85-77"
Nobody said they were going to do it Ron. Of course it's a long shot. But you're wrong, it's not impossible. Not at all. The Cubs dismal season is entirely due to their inability to beat the East. It's all about matchups. They don't have to elevate their game much to go 14-4 playing within the Central division. Especially after going 8-2 on the road.
Incidentally, here's a
Incidentally, here's a newsflash: Sergio Mitre is not a reliever. Not that I haven't been saying that for absolutely frigging ages.
Might as swell insert a random crack about Zach Day and Sergio Mitre. For what it's worth, on pitches 1-15 his career ERA is 10.80.
If Baker is really trying to get Maddux 15 wins, do you honestly think he feels the best way to do that is hitting Jose Macias 6th in the lineup.
JJ, regarding Maddux and
JJ, regarding Maddux and Dusty Baker.
Baker was asked directly if he'd like Maddux back next year after Maddux told reporters that he'd return in 2006 if Chicago thought he still had the ability to start for them. So what did Baker say? He said, "It's up to him (Maddux)."
What a weasel.
Then he went on to imply that Maddux was losing his pitching prowess as "pitchers do at the end of their career."
This comment came after a long Dusty diatribe about how the "blame" for this McFailure of a season needs to be spread around and not just dumped on him.
It doesn't sound like he really wants GM back at all.
I fully expect Macias to start pitching side sessions in prep for next year.
"What does that have to do
"What does that have to do with Theriot? He doesn't play SS. And the Cubs have 2 SS on the MLB roster anyway - Nomar and Neifi. And I would guess that Nomar will go back to SS if Ramirez returns."
There thinking was that they needed a SS in case something happend to Nomar or if Ram does not come back. . All I was saying was Hairston could play SS if need be.
Sure, it's not impossible,
Sure, it's not impossible, in the sense that it isn't impossible for the Blue Jays to win their division or that it wasn't impossible for the Devil Rays to win the World Series this year.
It is, and has been for a month, highly if not prohibitively improbable. Personally, I'd like to see more of the media and passive fan base acknowledge that this team will have spent 25% of the season as an also-ran, because before you know it, we'll be having offseason discussions where some will praise the job various elements of the team did in "keeping us in the playoff hunt well into September."
"Matt Craig and Casey
"Matt Craig and Casey Mcgehee played 3rd for the Jaxx most of the season."
yup...my bad...ther's still got an arm, though.

can't wait for the "Dusty has managed only X number of meaningless games comments since whenever" that ESPN loves to spew on us. Ignoring the fact that we've been playing meaningless games since the middle of August, maybe not mathmetically, but certainly in reality.
that would involve ESPN
that would involve ESPN actually talking about something sports related not going on in the north east in the boston-to-newyork corridor.
i just dont see it happening...
I also bet Greg realizes
I also bet Greg realizes what a mistake it was to come back to Chicago, especially this season. He's getting a taste of what he missed all those years when he was playing championship baseball with the Braves. After 2003 when he faced the Cubs in the playoffs, they looked like a team built on pitching that was on the verge of something great... Maddux was fooled like everyone else.
It's really chicken-shit if the Cubs are hoping/looking for Greg to not pick up his option.
Re post #30 First of all, it
Re post #30
First of all, it IS up to Maddux if he is to return. There were articles around the time of his option kicking in about how much Dusty likes Maddux and wants him to come back. Hendry, too.

If you're suggesting that Maddux will retire before seeing out his contract with the Cubs, I will take your money.
I also highly doubt that
I also highly doubt that Maddux sees this as "misery." He's highly paid playing the game he loves, still doing it reasonably well and in a city, and ballpark, he clearly enjoys. I wouldn't assume a fan's views on the Cubs are always going to jibe with how a player feels.
i dont know why people think
i dont know why people think maddux likes anything but his money or playing the game like he was hired to play it no matter who's paying him.
maddux sat around forever 2 offseasons ago waiting for someone to hand him loot. he was offered 1 and 2 year deals from clubs and turned them down flatly cuz no one wanted to give him the money he wanted for the years he wanted to compete.
the dude was throwing 88mph and was getting hit in atl. at the end of his last season there...a season where maddux accepted arbitration and royally screwed atl's money situation causing them to freak out and make trades they didnt want to make and put off signings of FA's. btw, this was atl's fault...
now he's throwin 84/85mph and about to make 9m bucks in 06.
love or hate maddux, he's not known as a patient baseball man who loves this winning more than life.
yes, he respects the game...no, he's not a jerk...yes, he's willing to do what he's asked...but he's just a guy trying to make some scratch and do his job.

1989 Chicago Cubs $275,000
1990 Chicago Cubs $437,500

Career (may be incomplete) $115,845,000
So, he has his ring and he's had his fat contracts, so I have to believe he's still pitching cause he wants to and thinks he can.
The $ can't be the motavating factor at this stage.
yeah, the man expects to be
yeah, the man expects to be paid to do it, too.
he was very clear he wanted to be paid fair and wanted a multi-year deal.
he waited a very long time to get the deal he was looking while shoving aside other deals including 1-year deals.
he's not selfish, but he's not known for being a rah-rah guy...he's a guy who expects fair pay for a fair season's work and wants to do it on his terms.
he's gonna make 9m next year and he earned it via the contract stipulations built in as injury protection for the club. i doubt very seriously he wants to walk away from that now.
he could have been a yankee a couple years ago for christ's sake...if you really care about winning, you go to the 200million team who buys their way to the postseason by strangling the competition with money.
maddux plays the game right and he fullfilled his contract without bitching about it...what more can you ask for?
"Sounds to me like Dusty
"Sounds to me like Dusty wants Maddux back, but I guess it makes better fodder to say otherwise"
GEEZ!! go read all the articles available. They're all reporting the same interview with Baker. Those headlines are extremely misleading.
What does Faker mean, he "hopes" Maddux comes back. If you really want a pitcher back who just automatically vested a 2006 contract at $9 million, you don't imply that Maddux might be so upset at the deterioration of his pitching skills that he might not return.
a big big big problem with a
a big big big problem with a lotta quotes is the lack of the question that prompted it and the lack of emotion that can be conveyed in text.
a lotta dusty press conferences he's just laughing off questions giving light-commented answers.
some of this is turned into shoe-banging statements of total seriousness.
yeah, it looks bad on him sometimes, but honestly, dusty has shown he really dont give a damn what any media thinks of him as long as his players know what's up.
when other sportswriters read comments taken out of context to the question or jest of answer and repeat it to the player things can get a bit weird.
it sometimes becomes a stupid circle where a question not being answered in total seriousness becomes absolute statements of fact and serious answers to some questions become lost in the context of what question lead to the answer.
this is also why some people dont take sportswriters seriously or even care to take press events seriously.
GEEZ! The original poster
GEEZ! The original poster took the "It's up to him" part out of context, not even bothering to post the positive quotes. I did not have time to find every single article on the subject to your satisfaction. But I think "Iíd love to have him back" is a pretty clear indication that he wants him back.

If houston can get 3 from florida I believe the cubs can get in with a 14-4 record. Both the phillies and Florida have 6 games each against ATL. If atl wins 4 out of 6 Florida has to go 6-6 in the other games and Philly has to go 7-5. Florida's other games are against Philly NYM and Washington. Philly's are Florida, Cin NYM and Was. I'll make a prediction:
IF We finish 14-4 taking 5 out of 7 from Houston we will at least tie for the wild card. Unless Florida sweeps houston.

Amen Brick. What's the point of following early-season games if you can't over-react to them? What, we should be reading books now?
"Weren't the National considered a near lock last year?"
No, I think you're thinking of Radiohead, The 1975, or Bowie's last album.
Although The National's Greatful Dead tribute is pretty cool.
I don't think they're any kind of lock, though I do expect they'll make the playoffs.
It's not like I'm glad they've gone 4-8. I just don't think it's time to be all that worried -- just like I didn't think they were going to keep playing .730 ball.
vegas isn't a fan of the game because of how erratic and unpredictable it is.
SF has recently won 3 world series many thought they weren't supposed to win...BOS won a world series recently that they weren't even supposed to be in the playoffs for...favored teams with huge wins have seen 1st round exists...fun times.
I think they'll be ok too. But having watched this team since the mid-60s, I never think it's time to conclude, well, thank god the drought is over. I've seen/heard way too many people who follow the Cubs say glad we're finally going to win the Series this year. Please. Weren't the National considered a near lock last year?
Best record in baseball and largest division lead.
I'm jumping right now!
Can we please stop pointing out how ridiculous it is to panic and start panicking in earnest?
,571 winning percentage in May.
I think they're gonna be OK.
RAISIN: All I know is that Oscar de la Cruz is still shut down, and I don't know what his prognosis is, or what the plan is going forward.
Remember just two weeks ago, when "all" they had to do was play .500 ball the rest of the season and coast into the playoffs?
Well I guess if pitchers can keep working the edges of the plate to perfection it will be a long season. But that doesn't seem likely. Rizzo finally, fully, snapping out of it would help.
If I didn't believe in coincidences (or science), I would apologize to Gordon Downie--one of my favorites. Sad news about a great talent.
Hi Arizona Phil,
Has there been any news on Oscar de la Cruz' health?
O&B: Cease was apparently working on his off-speed pitches in his first & thrd innings, because in his second inning of work he just blew the D'backs away with high-velocity gas (that's when he hit 99-100 and struck out the side).

Dear Editor,It was a hard decision to remove the Streetscape bond from the November ballot, but I believe the right one. Hard because of the years of dialogue, design, hope and outreach for a shared vision of a vibrant downtown, a community hub, a persistent idea that seeks a form and time in which to birth. And right because our Council underestimated the degree of opposition from local businesses for this particular bond. Because as Mayor Clark said, "They are a life blood of our community," as integral and valuable as our children, schools, parks and creative arts. In fact, one of the byproducts of their work, the "sales tax," makes up a big portion of our town's revenues. Shops and residents are interdependent. We cannot create a buzzing hub without them. They are us.
Dear Editor,The recent mass killings of prairie dogs, poisoned to death in their natural habitat, and the killing of the two mountain lion siblings in Ouray, have prompted this letter. The young lions were guilty of nothing except trying to survive in a world where humans drive too fast on the highway, and where people need to take extra precautions to keep their livestock safe from the natural predators in the area. The prairie dogs are also innocent. If we are going to take the risk of living here, we must also be prepared to endure the consequences of it.Mountain lions were regarded as sacred by most Native American tribes; so was this land. Instead of reacting out of fear, everyone who lives in this area ought to be grateful for the amazing access to wildlife and the privilege (not a right) that we have of being able to share this space with the animals that reside here.
Dear Editor,I'm writing to express my concerns regarding the current debate spurred by the Downtown Streetscape ballot initiative. It troubles me greatly that this issue has torn a rift in our community and caused the fear and anger I've heard in both the discussion on the street as well as recent letters to the editor. Clearly, feelings are at a fever pitch, on both sides of the debate.I would like to suggest that we, as a community, take a collective deep breath and make an effort to return to the thoughtful, respectful dialog that we're used to in Ridgway. This is a complicated issue, one that has obviously struck a nerve. No matter which side of the debate you're on, I urge you to remain involved in the ongoing discussion, but with an open mind and a considerate ear for the opinions of those on the other side. I've always believed that what makes democracy work is a willingness to listen to all sides, then find common ground upon which to build consensus.
Dear Editor,Friends of Patty, Dale, Ryan and Ian: It has been almost a year since Patty passed away. September 16, 2012. worst day of our lives. How could anyone have so many wonderful freinds? Everyone pitching in to do whatever they could, that we all may say, "We shall not cry because it is passed, we shall raise our hearts because it happened." The kindness everyone showed. The condolences all expressed. The love that was everywhere. All this was so appreciated by Dale, Ryan, Ian, Patty's Mom and Dad, her Sister and Brother. She certainly had some wonderful friends.
Robert and Margie AmmonVersailles, Ky.
Dear Editor,A few individuals opposing the Streetscape initiative decided not to trust the democratic process of voting. Apparently they feared they would lose. So they resorted instead to threats, rage and a promise to tear the community apart if they didn't get their way. The Town Council, in order to avoid such a damaging scenario, agreed to take Streetscape off the ballot.That means Ridgway will not get the needed infrastructure improvements, we will not bring new jobs and businesses to town with an improved Clinton Street, and—most importantly—the people will not be allowed to vote on this initiative.The Streetscape committee spent over a year and hundreds of hours of volunteer time educating ourselves about this project, then held several public meetings airing every point of view—often heatedly, took surveys and talked one-on-one to scores of citizens (particularly business owners) to explain the project and to ascertain public opinion.
Dear Editor,
Dear Editor,I am opposed to any increase to the current Ouray County sales tax—especially without a sunset provision. Such increases should be addressed by a new vote every two to four years, just as our elected officials face. As a business owner in the City of Ouray, I feel such an increase will have a negative impact on the retail businesses in Ouray County. We already encounter a bit of "sticker shock" from some of our customers when they realize the tax rate on their purchases. Also, some of our fellow business owners make an attempt to assist the community by being open year round and provide local shopping for full-time residents of Ouray County. By increasing the sales tax rate, this would be another reason for the locals to shop outside the county.
Dear Editor,I live with chronic pain. I have for many years. I have tried quite possibly every prescription pain medicine on the market, which by the way, all of them have some side effects, from fairly minor to rather damaging. I have tried pain management clinics, physical therapy, yoga, dry needling, massage and so on.I have three grown children, two grown stepchildren and five grandchildren. I am extremely active in their lives. The last thing I want is to be high on marijuana, or any prescription drug. But I have no choice. If I want to have an active life, I need something to reduce the amount of pain I am in every day.

Currently, no medicines can cure heart valve disease. However, lifestyle changes and medicines often can treat symptoms successfully and delay problems for many years. Eventually, though, you may need surgery to repair or replace a faulty heart valve.
The goals of treating heart valve disease might include:
- Medicines
- Repairing or replacing faulty valves
- Lifestyle changes to treat other related heart conditions
In addition to heart-healthy lifestyle changes, your doctor may prescribe medicines to:
- Lower high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol.
- Prevent arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats).
- Thin the blood and prevent clots (if you have a man-made replacement valve). Doctors also prescribe these medicines for mitral stenosis or other valve defects that raise the risk of blood clots.
- Treat coronary heart disease. Medicines for coronary heart disease can reduce your heart's workload and relieve symptoms.
- Treat heart failure. Heart failure medicines widen blood vessels and rid the body of excess fluid.
Repairing or Replacing Heart Valves
Your doctor may recommend repairing or replacing your heart valve(s), even if your heart valve disease isn't causing symptoms. Repairing or replacing a valve can prevent lasting damage to your heart and sudden death.
The decision to repair or replace heart valves depends on many factors, including:
- The severity of your valve disease
- Whether you need heart surgery for other conditions, such as bypass surgery to treat coronary heart disease. Bypass surgery and valve surgery can be performed at the same time.
- Your age and general health
When possible, heart valve repair is preferred over heart valve replacement. Valve repair preserves the strength and function of the heart muscle. People who have valve repair also have a lower risk of infective endocarditis after the surgery, and they don't need to take blood-thinning medicines for the rest of their lives.
However, heart valve repair surgery is harder to do than valve replacement. Also, not all valves can be repaired. Mitral valves often can be repaired. Aortic and pulmonary valves often have to be replaced.
Repairing Heart Valves
Heart surgeons can repair heart valves by:
- Adding tissue to patch holes or tears or to increase the support at the base of the valve
- Removing or reshaping tissue so the valve can close tighter
- Separating fused valve flaps
Sometimes cardiologists repair heart valves using cardiac catheterization. Although catheter procedures are less invasive than surgery, they may not work as well for some patients. Work with your doctor to decide whether repair is appropriate. If so, your doctor can advise you on the best procedure.
Heart valves that cannot open fully (stenosis) can be repaired with surgery or with a less invasive catheter procedure called balloon valvuloplasty. This procedure also is called balloon valvotomy.
During the procedure, a catheter (thin tube) with a balloon at its tip is threaded through a blood vessel to the faulty valve in your heart. The balloon is inflated to help widen the opening of the valve. Your doctor then deflates the balloon and removes both it and the tube. You're awake during the procedure, which usually requires an overnight stay in a hospital.
Balloon valvuloplasty relieves many symptoms of heart valve disease, but may not cure it. The condition can worsen over time. You still may need medicines to treat symptoms or surgery to repair or replace the faulty valve. Balloon valvuloplasty has a shorter recovery time than surgery. The procedure may work as well as surgery for some patients who have mitral valve stenosis. For these people, balloon valvuloplasty often is preferred over surgical repair or replacement.
Balloon valvuloplasty doesn't work as well as surgery for adults who have aortic valve stenosis. Doctors often use balloon valvuloplasty to repair valve stenosis in infants and children.
Replacing Heart Valves
Sometimes heart valves can't be repaired and must be replaced. This surgery involves removing the faulty valve and replacing it with a man-made or biological valve.
Biological valves are made from pig, cow, or human heart tissue and may have man-made parts as well. These valves are specially treated, so you won't need medicines to stop your body from rejecting the valve.
Man-made valves last longer than biological valves and usually don't have to be replaced. Biological valves usually have to be replaced after about 10 years, although newer ones may last 15 years or longer. Unlike biological valves, however, man-made valves require you to take blood-thinning medicines for the rest of your life. These medicines prevent blood clots from forming on the valve. Blood clots can cause a heart attack or stroke. Man-made valves also raise your risk of infective endocarditis.
You and your doctor will decide together whether you should have a man-made or biological replacement valve.
If you're a woman of childbearing age or if you're athletic, you may prefer a biological valve so you don't have to take blood-thinning medicines. If you're elderly, you also may prefer a biological valve, as it will likely last for the rest of your life.
Ross Procedure
Doctors also can treat faulty aortic valves with the Ross procedure. During this surgery, your doctor removes your faulty aortic valve and replaces it with your pulmonary valve. Your pulmonary valve is then replaced with a pulmonary valve from a deceased human donor.
This is more involved surgery than typical valve replacement, and it has a greater risk of complications. The Ross procedure may be especially useful for children because the surgically replaced valves continue to grow with the child. Also, lifelong treatment with blood-thinning medicines isn't required. But in some patients, one or both valves fail to work well within a few years of the surgery. Researchers continue to study the use of this procedure.
Other Approaches for Repairing and Replacing Heart Valves
Some forms of heart valve repair and replacement surgery are less invasive than traditional surgery. These procedures use smaller incisions (cuts) to reach the heart valves. Hospital stays for these newer types of surgery usually are 3 to 5 days, compared with a 5-day stay for traditional heart valve surgery.
New surgeries tend to cause less pain and have a lower risk of infection. Recovery time also tends to be shorter—2 to 4 weeks versus 6 to 8 weeks for traditional surgery.
Transcatheter Valve Therapy
Interventional cardiologists perform procedures that involve threading clips or other devices to repair faulty heart valves using a catheter (tube) inserted through a large blood vessel. The clips or devices are used to reshape the valves and stop the backflow of blood. People who receive these clips recover more easily than people who have surgery. However, the clips may not treat backflow as well as surgery.
Doctors also may use a catheter to replace faulty aortic valves. This procedure is called transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). For this procedure, the catheter usually is inserted into an artery in the groin (upper thigh) and threaded to the heart. A deflated balloon with a folded replacement valve around it is at the end of the catheter.
Once the replacement valve is placed properly, the balloon is used to expand the new valve so it fits securely within the old valve. The balloon is then deflated, and the balloon and catheter are removed.
A replacement valve also can be inserted in an existing replacement valve that is failing. This is called a valve-in-valve procedure.
Lifestyle Changes to Treat Other Related Heart
To help treat heart conditions related to heart valve disease, your doctor may advise you to make heart-healthy lifestyle changes, such as:
- Heart-healthy eating
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Managing stress
- Physical activity
- Quitting smoking
Heart-Healthy Eating
Your doctor may recommend heart-healthy eating, which should include:
- Fat-free or low-fat dairy products, such as skim milk
- Fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, tuna, and trout, about twice a week
- Fruits, such as apples, bananas, oranges, pears, and prunes
- Legumes, such as kidney beans, lentils, chickpeas, black-eyed peas, and lima beans
- Vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, and carrots
- Whole grains, such as oatmeal, brown rice, and corn tortillas
When following a heart-healthy diet, you should avoid eating:
- A lot of red meat
- Palm and coconut oils
- Sugary foods and beverages
Two nutrients in your diet make blood cholesterol levels rise:
- Saturated fat—found mostly in foods that come from animals
- Trans fat (trans fatty acids)—found in foods made with hydrogenated oils and fats, such as stick margarine; baked goods, such as cookies, cakes, and pies; crackers; frostings; and coffee creamers. Some trans fats also occur naturally in animal fats and meats.
Saturated fat raises your blood cholesterol more than anything else in your diet. When you follow a heart-healthy eating plan, only 5 percent to 6 percent of your daily calories should come from saturated fat. Food labels list the amounts of saturated fat. To help you stay on track, here are some examples:
|If you eat:
|Try to eat no more than:
|1,200 calories a day
|8 grams of saturated fat a day
|1,500 calories a day
|10 grams of saturated fat a day
|1,800 calories a day
|12 grams of saturated fat a day
|2,000 calories a day
|13 grams of saturated fat a day
|2,500 calories a day
|17 grams of saturated fat a day
AvocadosNot all fats are bad. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats actually help lower blood cholesterol levels. Some sources of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are:
- Corn, sunflower, and soybean oils
- Nuts and seeds, such as walnuts
- Olive, canola, peanut, safflower, and sesame oils
- Peanut butter
- Salmon and trout
- Tofu
You should try to limit the amount of sodium that you eat. This means choosing and preparing foods that are lower in salt and sodium. Try to use low-sodium and "no added salt" foods and seasonings at the table or while cooking. Food labels tell you what you need to know about choosing foods that are lower in sodium. Try to eat no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day. If you have high blood pressure, you may need to restrict your sodium intake even more.
Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension
Your doctor may recommend the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan if you have high blood pressure. The DASH eating plan focuses on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and other foods that are heart healthy and low in fat, cholesterol, and sodium and salt.
The DASH eating plan is a good heart-healthy eating plan, even for those who don't have high blood pressure. Read more about DASH.
Try to limit alcohol intake. Too much alcohol can raise your blood pressure and triglyceride levels, a type of fat found in the blood. Alcohol also adds extra calories, which may cause weight gain.
Men should have no more than two drinks containing alcohol a day. Women should have no more than one drink containing alcohol a day. One drink is:
- 12 ounces of beer
- 5 ounces of wine
- 1½ ounces of liquor
Maintaining a Healthy Weight
Maintaining a healthy weight is important for overall health and can lower your risk for heart valve disease. Aim for a Healthy Weight by following a heart-healthy eating plan and keeping physically active.
Knowing your body mass index (BMI) helps you find out if you're a healthy weight in relation to your height and gives an estimate of your total body fat. To figure out your BMI, check out the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's online BMI calculator or talk to your doctor. A BMI:
- Below 18.5 is a sign that you are underweight.
- Between 18.5 and 24.9 is in the normal range.
- Between 25.0 and 29.9 is considered overweight.
- Of 30.0 or higher is considered obese.
A general goal to aim for is a BMI of less than 25. Your doctor or health care provider can help you set an appropriate BMI goal.
Measuring waist circumference helps screen for possible health risks. If most of your fat is around your waist rather than at your hips, you're at a higher risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes. This risk may be higher with a waist size that is greater than 35 inches for women or greater than 40 inches for men. To learn how to measure your waist, visit Assessing Your Weight and Health Risk.
If you're overweight or obese, try to lose weight. A loss of just 3 percent to 5 percent of your current weight can lower your triglycerides, blood glucose, and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Greater amounts of weight loss can improve blood pressure readings, lower LDL cholesterol, and increase HDL cholesterol.
Managing Stress
Learning how to manage stress, relax, and cope with problems can improve your emotional and physical health. Consider healthy stress-reducing activities, such as:
- A stress management program
- Meditation
- Physical activity
- Relaxation therapy
- Talking things out with friends or family
Physical Activity
Regular physical activity can lower many heart valve disease risk factors.
Everyone should try to participate in moderate-intensity aerobic exercise at least 2 hours and 30 minutes per week or vigorous aerobic exercise for 1 hour and 15 minutes per week. Aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, is any exercise in which your heart beats faster and you use more oxygen than usual. The more active you are, the more you will benefit. Participate in aerobic exercise for at least 10 minutes at a time spread throughout the week.
Talk with your doctor before you start a new exercise plan. Ask your doctor how much and what kinds of physical activity are safe for you.
Read more about physical activity at:
- Physical Activity and Your Heart
- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans
Quitting Smoking
If you smoke or use tobacco, quit. Smoking can damage and tighten blood vessels and raise your risk for atherosclerosis and other health problems. Talk with your doctor about programs and products that can help you quit. Also, try to avoid secondhand smoke. If you have trouble quitting smoking on your own, consider joining a support group. Many hospitals, workplaces, and community groups offer classes to help people quit smoking.

Apparently the current Executives at INTC have not read the Harvard Business Professor's books on why large companies fail. Seems strange since the Professor was once a consultant at INTC. Per the Quarter Transcript these poor Executives are in total denial. Their world has changed before their very eyes, but they are still pursuing their compression strategy of the past 30 years--HELLO--Anybody Home? Gadgets have become throwaways--their economic life lasts as long as the next upgrade. The chip companies that are doing well only have to produce "just good enough" chips that are relatively low cost. The era of purchasing a computer for three or four years is history. Very few are looking for leading edge chips. Inexpensive and "good enough" is the new mantra. In the age of App Pages, the idea you spend huge amounts of R&D and Capex on plants and equipment to run various versions of Windows is really out of touch with reality. The Current and former CEO have spent tens of billions over the past 12 years pursuing a dead end strategy. Hopefully a new CEO will be somebody with a "vision" that includes a understanding of why large companies fail and how to avoid that fate!
Intel is taking a risk in building additional high end chip fabrication capacity in anticipation of demand for its chips in tablets and smartphones. As of today, this demand is zero, and as you correctly point out, Intel faces cut-throat competition in this space from well established players. Therefore, its unclear whether demand for Intel chips in tablets and smartphones will ever become significant. If it doesn't, their fabs will idle. I think this is the scenario the street fears most.
In the long term the market will consilidate to 2 semi companies. Intel and one other (Samsung maybe).. No one else can afford to play the game.
Heard anything about TSMC's 20nm lately.
the additional high end chip fabrication capacity is for current and future demand. Your assumptions don't hold water nor would have any idea what the street 'fears' or nor. you just pull things our of your b@@
Intel had 12 Billion in profits and CEO is being replaced by new blood who contributed a lot to Intel's bottom line. His only misjudgment, imo, is buying MacCafee, yet profitable, instead of buying ARMH.
Intel sees the changing landscape, but there is little they can do about it in the near term. They are a chip company, and semiconductors are becoming commodities. The move to 450nm will help, but its gonna take a while.

Amazing guide! Well done for putting this up!
I have something I'd like to add that I've noticed from playing this game. Well it's actually a couple of things, one isn't of too much consequence, but the other is a GREAT help for an achievement.
First thing, I've found the Deadly Nadder has an attack with a longer range than the standard Y attack. The standard X attack has a slightly longer range, I noticed that as the opponents were just out of range for the Y attack I could just press X once without moving and the attack would connect. I wouldn't recommend switching just to the X attack though as the time between doing the attacks is longer than the Y attacks. But if your opponent is using the hanging back trick to escape your swing, try hitting them with X first, might help out.
Secondly, there is a way to make the Memory Torch on Expert insanely easy. All you need is quick reflexes and a phone or notepad open. Basically position your hand on the controller so your finger is over the pause button for an instant press. The second the first torch flashes PAUSE the game, write down the button that corresponds to the torch and then unpause. You should have one second or so before the next torch flashes. When it does, repeat. Then when it says "Your Turn", pause again and look at your note to get the sequence firmly in your head. Unpause it and hammer in the sequence. Perfect every time.
I will also say that I too have experienced the time issue. On my first playthrough I had unlocked all the achievements, including all the Arcade mode ones, the only two I had left were finish the story with Hiccup, and the 20 hours one. When the 100 Arcade wins popped I saved the game to discover my total playtime was 16 hours and 19 minutes. I kept my xbox on with a wired controller plugged in while having Astrid stand outside the House in Story Mode for 4 hours. The guide is very efficient, perhaps too efficient, either that or this game is far too simple to beat in over 20 hours.

text: Hey guys, come on, there might be someone who must know about bee hives that comes at each level of Zynga Bubble safari. I really wanted to get rid of them, they irritates me the most. People say that they find this game bit difficult due to so and so reason but for me this game is just a piece of cake but only if the bee hives are eliminated from all the levels. Every time whenever I play certain level I feel that this might be the end of bee adventure but no I am always proved wrong. After the end of that particular level when the next level starts these bees are bound to come without fail. Even if I managed to destroy the hives at some of the levels but that do not make any sense as they however come in the next level without fail. Anyone who has any idea about these frustrating bees hives?

Pesticide deaths: Authorities re-educate pest controllers
Dubai: Authorities have held a training session to re-educate pest control contractors following recent deaths from pesticide poisoning.
"As we are aware, pests can cause a real threat to residential and commercial premises which may affect the health of people and damage property. A training [session] was designed with a view to provide companies with essential knowledge and information on pest management," said Hesham Abdul Rahman Yahya, Head of the Pest Control Section at Dubai Municipality.
Gulf News earlier reported that in the past three weeks, a three-year-old girl and her eight-month-old sister died in Ajman, as well as a 35-year-old Filipina in Fujairah, after pesticide poisoning.
According to the forensic laboratory report of Ajman Police, the department of public health and environment at Ajman Municipality was able to confirm that the deaths occurred after the family's neighbour bought pesticide from an unlicensed street vendor, and sprayed it in his home without the aid of a specialised technician.
Pest control experts explained that each emirate has its own set of rules about how pest control companies should carry out their services, but the chemicals available in the market have to first pass through the Ministry of Environment and Water.
The most commonly found pests in the emirate include mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, bedbugs, ants, non-biting midges, fleas, ticks, redback spiders and rodents.
"Waste produced by households and commercial outlets like hotels, shopping malls, hospitals and restaurants, which contain wet materials that are also liable to decay are potential food sources and harbourages for insects and rodents," said Yahya.
The training course, which had 104 participants from Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the northern emirates, focused on pests found both indoors and in rural environments.
Pest control strategy experts who carried out the training session emphasised that the objective was to provide an effective and economically efficient approach to pest control, without jeopardising public safety.
"Knowing how to properly handle the chemicals is very important and education is a key factor in order to avoid any [pesticide-related] accidents from happening. A number of techniques were discussed on how to use pesticide, as well as the biological information of chemicals," added AKM Motahar Hussain, pest management specialist at Dubai Municipality.

SEATTLE (AP) — Bail has been set at $1 million for a 67-year-old felon who has been ordered held in connection with a weekend shooting outside a West Seattle bar. The 36-year-old male victim later died of his injuries.
The Seattle Times reports that Lovett James Chambers was booked into the King County Jail early Sunday for investigation of assault and unlawful possession of a firearm. Jail records show the assault count was upgraded to investigation of homicide after victim Michael Hood died.
Court papers filed Monday say the two were patrons Saturday night at the Feedback Lounge. When Hood left , prosecutors say Chambers followed him and approached him aggressively. Witnesses say Hood picked up a shovel to defend himself. Chambers is accused of shooting Hood four times in the chest.
Witnesses wrote down Chambers' license plate number.
Court papers say Chambers has prior convictions for kidnapping, rape and armed robbery.

Television actress Madhura
Naik who is mostly seen portraying grey characters on screen is once again
playing a grey character in Life OK's Tumhari Paakhi. Though her roles are not
liked by the audience this girl sportingly accepts the offers for such roles
and is very comfortable acting with those.
We got in touch with Madhura to know more about her role and whether is she comfortable playing such negative characters or not, her bonding with her co-stars and children and much more in this conversation.
How much do you enjoy playing the role of Tanya in Tumhari Paakhi?
I enjoy playing the character of Tanya in the show Tumhari Paakhi, because she doesn't have to wear salwar kameez or saaree neither she has to put bindi, wear mangalsutra or dress up like a typical bahu. Tanya's character is modern and fashionable. So while playing the character of Tanya I can dress up in my way like in a way Madhura likes to dress up. And yes it's an interesting character.
I have played various kinds of roles along with negative roles. But I feel that playing negative role is very challenging and I am very much comfortable playing such kind of roles.
How difficult is it to play the negative character in the show?
For me I don't think so that I have found any difficulty in playing the negative character because every human being has a good side and a bad side. So while playing a negative character you need to bring out your bad side on the screen.
Do Tanya and Madhura possess similar qualities in real life?
Except the negativity I
would say all the qualities are similar between Madhura and Tanya in terms of
life style, dressing sense etc. Tanya is a very polished person with high
standard of living, high thinking and today's girl just like Madhura.
What other roles are you willing to play?
I want to play roles which are very challenging like I want to play roles where I can deglamorize myself and appear as a simple person. But that doesn't mean that I want to play the role of those saas bahu types. I am really looking forward to play some challenging and convincing roles.
How is your relation with the other co-stars on the sets of Tumhari Paakhi?
We all have a very good relation with each other on the set. I mostly enjoy and hangout with Sachin Shroff. Honestly speaking we don't get any leisure time but during our lunch break we all co-stars sit together to have lunch.
How is your equation with the kids in real life?
I love kids; I really like to pamper them I love to play with them. It's fun to be with kids, they are always adorable. So I share a friendly and a good time with children.
Tumhari Paakhi and the film Biwi No. 1 seem to have a similar story, do you agree?
Yes, I completely agree with this
that Tumhari Paakhi is somewhat similar to the film Biwi No.1 but films are of
3 hours which has a specific story and also ends within 3 hours but in daily
soaps the scenario is different.
As it has been shown that Tanya is leaving no stone unturned to get her love back, so if such situation occurs in real life then what suggestion will you give to deal with such a situation?
Firstly, I will suggest that never fall for a married man and if you are already into to a relationship with a married person try get out of it as soon as possible because it will spoil three lives. Tanya's character has a grey shade but she is doing all the negative activity only to get her love Anshuman back in her life as she was in his life even before Paakhi entered in his life.
Tumhari Paakhi has managed to grab top position in the TRP chart, so how are you feeling?
Well it's an amazing feeling and I would like to take all the credit because my character has added the much needed drama in the show (Laughs). But seriously I am very happy and I feel that the current track is liked by our audience and so we have grabbed the top position. We have recently got an extension as well and Tumhari Paakhi is doing great.
We like your character too Madhura. Keep up the good work!

Could an Implanted Microchip Let You Feel Your Partner's Pain and Pleasure?
Byline: PAUL KENDALL
HOW many times do we say to someone: 'I know exactly how you feel'?
Now, it could become literally true - thanks to a microchip implant designed to allow two people to sense each other's pleasure and pain.
If it works, the [pounds sterling]250,000 device might improve the love life of couples by ensuring them greater emotional empathy. But it could also transmit phobias - such as the fear of spiders - from one to the other, says its inventor.
Robotics expert Professor Kevin Warwick plans to test it on himself and his wife Irena in a two-week experiment.
In an hour-long operation, the couple will have the chips, about the size of a mint wafer, implanted into their arms and connected to various nerves.
Electrical signals from the brain - which are naturally carried along the nerves - will be converted into radio waves via the chips and beamed to an ordinary computer.
The computer, fitted with special software, transmits the signals between the two implants. When a signal is received by a chip wearer, he or she should experience a similar physical effect to that being felt by the sender.
As well as sharing each other's excitement, pleasure and pain, the linked couple should also feel the sensation of movement.
Eventually, the chip could allow one person to move the limbs of another.
When he was planning the experiment last year, Professor Warwick speculated that the signals might even be temporarily held in the computer to produce a delayed reaction. 'If I move a finger, the computer will be able to store that signal,' the 45-year-old father of two explained. …

few people realise that the meaning of a photograph can be changed completely by the accompanying caption, by its juxtaposition with other photographs, or by the manner in which people and events are photographed.
(Gisèle Freund, 1980:149)
THE post-production aspects of photographic communication are concerned with things that can be done to the photograph once it has been taken and processed to change or enhance its meaning. As mentioned in earlier chapters, photographs are taken in a particular context and there is a strong dependency on the knowledge of this context which determines how the final image is understood by the viewer. In the case of the documentary photograph we find ourselves looking at a visual display from which we are able to make inferences regarding the subject-matter. We make assumptions about the events that we see in the photograph and draw (hopefully the appropriate) conclusions from the image. We assume that our conclusions, derived from our retrospection and anticipations which have been engendered by the photograph, in some way concur with the factual circumstances that brought about the moment of the photograph. We place faith in the image itself and its subsequent editorial context that it conforms to the natural or original course of events. And this is what we described in the last chapter as the implied history of the photograph.
This implication of the photograph can be shifted by the context in which the image is displayed. However, we might consider that good practice in photo-journalism requires the editorial skill to place the photograph in such a context that the viewer makes the appropriate assumptions regarding the context of the event itself—the casual antecedents of the event. This is the essence of Cartier-Bresson's notion of the decisive moment—that it directs the viewer's drawing of conclusions or invoking the intended sentiment. But this belief is not without its problems. As we saw in the William Klein example (pp. 8-9, this volume), the photographer may be acting with the best of intentions but be unable to predict or determine the viewer's response. His or her concerns, responses and understanding may be entirely different:
why should our understanding of…photographs be prefaced by knowing the intentions of the photographer? No reading of a picture can be unambiguous, or
