After 18 months of campaigning, more than $1 billion in spending, and umpteen stories about Ohio, Florida, Iowa, and New Hampshire, election season ends tonight. We think AOL.com will be the best place to follow all the action.
Our experience live blogging the debates taught us a few things. First and foremost, AOL users love live events and the live blog format, wanting up to the second updates. We also learned our audience will use us both as a primary news source and as a second screen with their TV. Finally, we continue to prove (most recently highlighted by our coverage of Hurricane Sandy) that AOL's powerhouse brands, news gathering assets, and technology platform can deliver local, national, and international coverage of breaking news at an unmatched scale and scope.
So, to take advantage of these trends, we're trying something new tonight on the AOL homepage.
Working with our colleagues at HuffPost, Patch, and the rest of AOL, we're putting a live blog directly on the homepage to bring the best of the company in real time to our audience. Working closely with the extraordinary HuffPost news, analysis, and infographics teams, we'll also have real time state by state election results graphics and results. And we'll have on the spot reports from Patches across the company and links to streaming coverage on HuffPost Live.
Visit aol.com after 6pm. We'll be there till it is over (unless of course, there's a recount).

Yellow Jackets Prepare for Fall Drills –
Black Hills State Yellow Jacket Football will begin preparation for their fall season on August 12th with forty new recruits going through a two-day orientation. Fifty returning veterans will report on the 14th with a great deal of optimism carrying over from last seasons Dakota Athletic Conference Championship, and a first ever NAIA Playoff birth. Head Coach John Scott and his staff are entering their fifth season and are looking to build on a solid core of returning players on both sides of the ball.
Offensively the Jackets return eight starters having to replace offensive guard Matt Ullrich, All-DAC receiver Kyle Gerik, and running back Clayton Bryan. On the defensive side of the ball the Jackets return seven starters, but must replace a trio of linebackers who started nearly every game in their four year careers and a four-year starter at cornerback. First team All-DAC linebacker Shad Schneider, inside backers Andy Coyle, and Travis Peetz will leave some big shoes to fill. Seven time all conference performer (cornerback & return specialist) Craig Tschetter will also be difficult to replace. The Jackets must also replace an outstanding kicker in Rocky Stevens, four-year punter Andy Christy.
Entering last fall the quarterback position was one of Scott's biggest concerns. This fall the position is in good hands with All Dakota Athletic Conference quarterback Eric Osborne returning for his senior campaign. Osborne, who had transferred in and was learning the offense on the run finished the season passing for over 1,500 yards and 14 touchdowns. Incoming freshman Jordan Lakatos (Sioux Falls, SD) and Drew Hodgs (Douglas, WY) will be expected to mature quickly and provide back-up responsibilities.
Skill wise the Jackets have some talent and field experience to work with. Junior James Lemke will be back after an injury plagued season a year ago. Also in the mix at the halfback position are former Spearfish High School standout John Soriano, red shirt freshman Ryan Palmer, and incoming freshman Tanner Ehrlich (Fort Collins, CO). At the fullback position the Jackets have a pair of solid backs who gained valuable experience during their freshman seasons. Clint Nicholes and Josh Smith shared duties and will now be counted on to carry more of a load this fall. Nicholes is a throwback fullback who has excellent strength, size, and speed. Smith will have a dual roll at both backfield positions where he can come out of the backfield on pass routes and line up behind Nicholes for a big back look.
At the tight end position Matt Minter returns for his final season having improved his speed and pass catching abilities this winter. He was one of the most consistent blockers a year ago and will now expand his talents to the receiving end this fall. Also returning is sophomore Drew Reuman, who played a major role last fall as a freshman, junior Cliff Bryan, and red shirt freshman Matt Gottlob.
The receiving corps is a young talented group who made their marks last fall. Junior Joe Beehler is a multi-dimensional player whether it is on the receiving end or taking handoffs. He had 35 catches in the fall and accounted for over 500 yards in total offense. Sophomore Corey Wheeler who hauled in 26 receptions and four touchdowns is a tall target with exceptional skills. He will draw the attention of every defense he faces this fall. Sure handed sophomore Ryan Fagerstrom will have the opportunity to step up and contribute on a regular basis. Also returning this fall is outside receiver Justin Kloppel, and inside receivers Josh Redden, and J.J. Elm.
Up front protecting the quarterback and opening holes for the running backs will be a much bigger, stronger, and semi-experienced line than in previous seasons. Two-year starter and All Dakota Athletic center Matt Frankenfield returns for his third season. Frankenfield is one of the teams strongest players who also has gotten quicker in the off-season. Also returning up front are sophomores Josh Breske, Cody Geffre, and Jason Bodine who all started the final eight games a year ago. Red shirt Kale Deminck, who moved over from the defensive line this winter and incoming guards Shane Cole (Oakdale, CA) and Tom Owsiany (Pine, CO) are going to get plenty of reps this fall which should provide the depth needed to sustain a title run.
Defensively the Jackets find themselves in a similar position as the offense with seven returning starters from a defense that ranked among the best in the conference. But the loses were key and might be a little more difficult to fill right away. The Jackets lost three linebackers and one defensive back to graduation that had started every game of their careers.
Up front the defense will be solid with the entire group returning and the depth will only improve with the addition of a couple kids who red shirted last season. The line will be anchored around All-Dakota Athletic Conference nose guard Rodney Wasche who spent most of his time in the opponent's backfield where he garnered seven sacks and eighteen tackles for loss. Senior Andy Seamann, juniors Justin Thorpe, and Talon Tucker make up an active front who should continue the trend of creating chaos in opposing team's backfields this fall. Depth this fall will come from red shirt freshmen Clay Smith, sophomore Wacey Coleman and junior college transfer Kyle King.
The line backing corps can be described as athletic, fast, strong, and with having a nose for the ball. But the big concern is the actual field experience needed to run the aggressive style of defense the Jackets employ. The linebackers won't all be new – senior Nathan Batteen returns for his third season and has all the tools to earn post season honors. Tyler Tetrault had a solid season with seven sacks and two interceptions a year ago and outside backer Sean Sweet will have the opportunity to be a full-time player this fall. Senior Brandin Santi, moves to an inside backer and senior Sid Colglazier will play on the outside after moving from a safety position in the spring. Sophomore Forest Sainsbury has had a very good spring and is expected to compete for a starting position to go along with his outstanding special teams play. Letter winners Cole Richter and Trey Cannon are expected to provide depth and contribute on special teams. Red shirt freshman Tom Tripp is also expected to make contributions this fall as well as junior college transfer Josh Fundis who both showed growth during spring drills.
The defensive backfield returns Dakota Athletic Player of the Year and All-American safety Tanner Tetrault. Tetrault brings leadership, experience, and a wealth of talent to the defensive backfield. Junior Tony Dill returns at one corner position and has improved every year where he is expected to have a big fall this year. Competition will be fierce at the other corner position where it is a wide-open race. Promising sophomore Darrell Neiman played in all ten games last fall and has the physical attributes to be an outstanding corner. Dwayne Brown who played as a freshman, but red shirted last season, is anxious to regain his form. Sophomore Blaine Braake, and incoming freshman Andrew Johnson (Rapid City, SD) will make it a competitive camp. At the safety position senior Garland Sanders played a major role in the Jackets two-safety, and nickel coverage's a year ago. Junior Dustin Dooley played quality minutes last season and red shirt sophomore Clayton Schleusner will provide quality depth.
Special teams will also get plenty of attention during camp. Transfer Craig Tafoya had the opportunity to get a head start on the kicking duties. Tafoya has a strong leg and is athletic enough to handle both the punting and kicking duties this fall, but will have plenty of competition. Incoming freshmen Micah Nielsen (Fort Collins, CO) and Tanner Ehrlich (Fort Collins, CO) both have quality legs.
The coaching staff saw a change after spring drills when defensive backfield coach Jon Vance accepted a position in the Wyoming High School ranks. In coming coach Ryan Gatch (Colstrip, MT) brings a wealth of conference experience to the Yellow Jackets. He played four seasons at Dickinson State as a linebacker before serving as an assistant there for a year. After coaching linebackers and earning his Masters Degree at Chadron State for two seasons he continued his coaching at University of Montana-Northern, and most recently was the defensive line coach at Minot State University. Ryan will coach the linebackers and coordinate special teams this fall. Former Jacket standout Shad Schneider will assist at the line backer position this fall and defensive coordinator Pat Fackrell will move to the secondary.
The number twelve ranked (NAIA pre-season poll) Jackets have a demanding non conference schedule where they open the season September 1st on the road against NAIA number four ranked Carroll College. The Jackets then host NCAA Division III opponent the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire on September 8th at Lyle Hare Stadium.

Reviews for Southwest Beef & Rice Skillet
"This was a big hit in my house. I used precooked brown rice (frozen and microwaved before adding), left out the salt and used small red beans in place of the Ranch Style beans. There were no leftovers, so I guess that means it's a winner!"
"Yum! My husband and kids loved this! I switched to regular cheese for the kids."
"Loved it but made a few changes to turn down the heat: used reg. rice, cooked it then added it. couldn't find the beans so used reg. pinto beans & added another 1/2 c. tomato sauce to compensate. Used only 1/2 tsp chili powder & 1/2 an onion. Also used 4 cheese blend Mexican lowfat cheese. It was still terrific."
"Easy and fast meal. The Pepper Jack cheese adds a nice spice. I used brown rice adding it uncooked with an additional 1/2 c. of beef broth and cooked mixture until the rice was done. I served it with corn and tortilla chips. My husband loved it, adding sour cream and lettuce."
"I needed a quick meal for a lot of people using things I had on hand. I doubled this recipe and put in a crock pot. They really liked it!"

Full SubmissionTHEME ON THE ENVIRONMENT, MACROECONOMICS, Trade AND INVESTMENT (TEMTI) Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy (CEESP) IUCN, International Union for the Conservation of Nature CONTRIBUTION FOR INCLUSION IN THE COMPILATION DOCUMENT
Presented by
Alejandro Nadal, Co-Chair, TEMTI
This Contribution is an input for the first Theme of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, Rio+20) on the Green Economy in the context of sustainable development and the eradication of poverty. We find the objectives of this part of the Conference highly important. At the same time, we think there are five crucial problems that are essential for a meaningful discussion on the ?transition to a green economy? that are not included in the agenda. It is essential to incorporate them in the deliberations of the UNCSD and the negotiations therein. The five themes that need to be addressed are the following:
A) Role of Macroeconomic Policies
First, the role of macroeconomic policies needs to be fully incorporated in any discussion concerning sustainable development or the newer concept of green economy. Macroeconomic policies (fiscal, monetary, financial and exchange rate policies, as well as other economy wide policies like prices for food stuffs and incomes? policies) shape the economic forces that can lead to sustainability and shift us away from a wasteful and unjust society. These policies affect every economic agent, from the largest corporation to the smallest subsistence farmers. And their effects have serious implications for their resource management practices and, this, for the environmental stewardship. In spite of this, it remains a fact that in previous conferences on sustainability, as well as in the conferences that led to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), these policies were absent from the discussions.
The UNCSD needs to take macroeconomic policies into account. It must open the discussion on the priorities of macroeconomic policy-making. The priorities of fiscal policy and of monetary policy have typically focused on the need to maintain a balanced budget and price stability. There is a critical debate over these priorities as opposed to full employment and sustainable development. The redefinition of macroeconomic policy priorities is essential for a transition to a green economy or sustainable development or the transition to a green economy. No discussion on poverty eradication is intelligible without covering in a meaningful manner macroeconomic polices, their priorities and instruments. No debate on the allocation of resources for environmental conservation at the macro level will be meaningful if the priorities of fiscal policies are not taken into account (and especially the notion that a primary surplus must be generated year after year). The United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development owes it to the peoples of the world to engage this discussion.
B) Financial Re-Regulation and Capital Controls
The expansion of the financial sector during the past four decades is one of the most important features of the world economy. In many ways the main priorities of economic policy are defined in accordance to the needs of the financial sector. Capital account deregulation during the past decades responded closely to the requirements of financial flows. This aspect of financial liberalization has significant implications for the role of interest and exchange rates in an open economy. Over the past decades, capital flows have shown they can have highly destabilizing effects on host economies.
Likewise, the deregulation of financial activities in securities, stocks and bonds markets led to the excesses that distributed toxic assets all over the world and led to the financial crisis that began in 207. Finally, deregulation in commodities markets led to financial speculation where basic commodities were used as assets in risk management. All of this has had very serious implications in the real economy. As a result of the financial crisis, already millions of people have lost their jobs, are being removed from their homes and their livelihoods have been destroyed. Ways and means to re-regulate the financial sector?s activities must be discussed as part of an agenda for a green economy. Because these financial flows have critical repercussions on the real economy (and therefore on the environment), it is important to re-examine the role of capital controls as a way to prevent balance of payments crises. Finally, in so far as climate change policies are concerned, it is important to understand the relation between carbon trading schemes and financial regulations. Carbon trading leads to the creation of assets (emissions rights) that are traded like financial instruments. They can lead to derivatives, securitization and speculative transactions. Also, emissions rights? prices can be volatile and this will not only lead to greater speculation, but can also delay investments that incorporate a low carbon footprint. A discussion on the transition to a green economy must incorporate a debate on the relation between financial regulations and carbon trading schemes.
C) Inequality (domestic and international)
Inequality is one of the greatest enemies of sustainability. In other terms, sustainability is antithetical with a world in which 50% of the population lives with less than 2.5 US dollars a day. For one thing, inequality involves asymmetric vulnerability as poorer groups in society are exposed to greater environmental risk.
During the past three decades inequality has increased in the advanced capitalist economies, as well as in most developing countries. During the same period, international inequality has also increased. This means that over the past four decades there have been economic and political forces at play that have increased inequality. Clearly, the notion that growth and trickle down effects would eliminate inequality has been proven wrong by recent economic history. Fiscal policies dominated by the need to generate a primary surplus, as well as an international economy driven by export-promotion policies which have led to a race to the bottom in wages are two of the key factors explaining this growing inequality.
An international conference dealing with the question of sustainability will need to address the causes of inequality, its effects and the ways to redress this problem. The notion that fine-tuning of safety nets will be enough to prevent the worst damages of inequality is not a good stance for macroeconomic policies. The redistributive role of fiscal policies must be recovered and taken into account in Rio+20.
In addition, UNCSD must take into account that incomes? policies with explicit redistributive priorities need to be reintroduced into the panoply of macroeconomic policies. One of the reasons behind the levels of unsustainable indebtedness in the US economy after 1980 and that led to the financial crisis of 2007-08 is the stagnation of real wages. Aggregate demand cannot be driven by unsustainable debt. This is a theme that needs to be put squarely on UNCSD?s agenda.
D) The Debt Predicament
The debt of developing countries is a critical obstacle for sustainability. Total public external debt of developing countries increased between 1970 and 2000 from US $70 billion to US $3,360. Total debt service payments by developing countries during the period 1980 ? 2007 amounted to a staggering US $7,150 billion. Furthermore, in 1970 the world?s poorest countries had a total debt of approximately US $25 billion. By 2002 these countries? debt had risen to US $523 billion. In the case of African nations, in 1970 their debt was US 11 billion and thirty years later it had ballooned to more than US $30 billion. By 2008 developing countries had reimbursed the equivalent of 102 times the amount of their debt in 1970. Today sub-Sahara Africa is a net creditor to the rest of the world: its external assets are greater than its external debts. The big difference is that while the assets are private, the debts are public. During the past ten years, sub-Saharan Africa shows a net transfer to the rest of the world of over US $11 billion. This means that Africa has transferred more money to its creditors than it received as loans. In spite of this, the debt burden has continued to grow.
This transfer of resources constitutes one of the most important obstacles to sustainable development. Clearly, initiatives such as the Paris Club and the HIPC and the new Multilateral Debt Relief have not been enough to redress this situation. The UNCSD must take into account this serious problem. The poorest nations need immediate debt relief and concessional funds in order to engage in counter-cyclical policies and invest in long-term sustainability. A new framework for negotiations must be defined, one that puts ethical and sustainability considerations as the paramount priorities.
E) Transnational Corporations and Concentration of Market Power
Another feature of the world economy is that giant corporations with considerable market power have become key actors in international economic affairs. These mega corporations play a very important role in international Trade and investment: more than 66% of world Trade takes place through transnational corporations, and 40% of this takes place within companies (UNIDO 2003). They concentrate enormous market power in sectors that are close to the natural resource base (the crises in energy and food prices in 2007-2008 can be traced to the actions of these corporations). These mega-corporations are doing what they want to the environment far away from adequate supervision and monitoring. There are many examples in the extractive industries, commercial logging, fisheries, agricultural Trade, etc.
There is a big difference between the agents that sign the agreements within the WTO system (i.e., governments) and the agents that actually perform trading operations (i.e., firms and large multinational corporations). Today there is a serious disconnect between the overarching WTO objective of reducing or eliminating market distortions and the presence of intense market power in most branches.
Market distortions are not always related to government subsidies but to market concentration. Perhaps the single most important lacuna of all WTO agreements is this lack of reference to market concentration, oligopolies and anti-trust enforcement measures. Free Trade has become the equivalent of a world in which international market prices are affected by collusion, unfair business practices and market concentration. But the WTO has left this reality untouched. Leaving these problems to the obscure workings of international commerce arbitration boards is not the solution; their scope of competence does not include mandatory anti-trust measures applicable to general cases. Although this problem is screaming for attention, it has not been addressed by the WTO. The UNCSD cannot ignore this.
Vertical and horizontal integration in global commodity markets is another important cause of market distortion. Possible policy responses include an international review mechanism on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) that involve transboundary transactions. At a minimum, transparency requirements should be imposed on transactions between agents that have more than 20% of a regional or global market. Similarly, M&A?s and joint ventures involving cross-licensing and capitalization of patent rights should receive better scrutiny. These operations can be used to engage in serious business malpractices and unfair competition that distort market operations.
Not only has the WTO failed to regulate and look into the unfair business practices of large MNCs in the world?s markets, it has established rules that protect these firms. The Trade-related Investment Measures (TRIMs) agreement of the WTO forbids host governments from imposing any type of performance requirements on these firms. This eliminates one very important tool from the arsenal of industrial and technology policies that were critical in achieving the economic success that is now attributed to free and unregulated markets (Chang 2003). Although the lobbies of MNCs failed to get a multilateral investment agreement by the OECD and WTO in the nineties, they are still protected by an array of bilateral investment agreements that shield them from government intervention. In some notorious cases (for example, NAFTA?s Chapter 11) MNCs are protected from the effects of environmental rules and legislation.

WIP Wednesday #21
Ongoing projects:
Make Mine Modern swap
So, you might remember that last week I wasn't sure if my MMM item was ridiculously awesome or completely insane. Eventually I decided, on the awesomeness/insanity continuum, my plan was a bit far right of crazy, especially with the deadline I was working under. So I changed things up and put together these scrappy rainbow placemats instead, based on Angela's delicious Pink Lemonade quilt. Each placemat is two colors (in addition to white): One red and orange, one orange and yellow, one yellow and green, one green and blue, and one blue and purple. And I would love to have time to make one more: Purple and red, of course, which would bring the set full circle. But mailing for this swap starts tomorrow, so I'm going to quilt these five first, and then I'll make the final one if I have time. I hope my partner will love these as much as I do!
Supernova Quilt-Along
Aside from the MMM placemats, I've spent the last week trying to stay current with my own quilt-along. I guess I'm the one person who really does need to get my blocks done on time, huh? : ) Not to worry, my blocks are coming along, and tomorrow's post is ready to go. And I can't get over all the amazing Supernovas I see shaping up in the Flickr group! It's not too late to join the fun, if you've been considering it. Whether you catch up with my posts or you take your sweet time, we'd love to have you!
Completed tops awaiting quilting:
Hope Valley (the original Supernova)
Completed quilts awaiting binding:
Modern Meadow
On hold ... yes, still!
Central Park jelly roll quilt
Figgy Pudding quilt
Wonky Log Cabin
This week's stats:
New projects - 0
Completed projects - 0
Currently in progress - 10 (same as last week)
Your turn! Link up any post from the past week featuring a work in progress. Last week I noticed several posts that only included finishes, so this is just a gentle reminder that there must be something unfinished in your post. A little different than most linkies out there, I know, but that's how we roll here at WIP Wednesday—click here to read more about my WIP "philosophy" and why I started this linky. And please comment on at least a few of the other links—share the love, you guys. A good rule of thumb is to comment on the links right before yours. Have a very productive week!

The Saint John's Pottery is a testing ground for the use of indigenous materials in the pottery process as well as a laboratory to test natural resources from throughout the region. Saint John's has received grants from the Central Minnesota Community Foundation and the Central Minnesota Arts Council to enable apprentices to research indigenous materials.
The Saint John's Pottery has received grants from the Natural Resources Research Institute (NRRI) to conduct research into natural materials and to provide professional consulting services. NRRI supports special projects which advocate the sustainable use of natural resources in Minnesota.
The first grant, in 1989, was to test and fire samples from more than 200 clay deposit throughout the state. This testing process resulted in the discovery of many new applications for indigenous materials from rural Minnesota and the Dakotas that present extraordinary economic opportunities for these communities.
In 1996, The Saint John's Pottery received a second grant from NRRI to assist the Cortland Clay Company in developing a line of specialty clay formulations using indigenous Minnesota clay. In addition, Richard Bresnahan and The Saint John's Pottery have provided consulting services to several other clay developers and pottery programs.

Seeing the Other Side
About six weeks ago, I noticed some short bursts of palpitations and lightheadedness. Then during a weight training workout, I felt my pulse racing for about a minute before it would stop. I had only four hours of sleep the night before, it was 5 am at the gym, and I figured it was just due to fatigue.
A week and a half later, it occurred again while lifting. I looked down at my Polar heart rate monitor -- 180 beats per minute. That can't be right. My first instinct was to keep on exercising and hope it would stop, but trying to do squats with a racing heart doesn't work so well. I tried carotid sinus massage, pressing on the neck to try to stop the racing heart rhythm. Then I laid down, and by bearing down I was able to break the endless loop, watching my heart rate monitor flash from 180 suddenly to 73 beats per minute.
Being a cardiologist, I knew that this was likely a supraventricular tachycardia -- in other words, an abnormal circuit in the heart that can cause the heart to race. I obtained a portable heart rate monitor that I could carry with me wherever I went -- on long runs and bike rides, or in my lab coat pocket. If the palpitations recurred, I could capture the electrical impulses so that the rhythm could be diagnosed and appropriately treated.
Two and a half weeks went by without any palpitations. I hoped that meant that I was cured, but that was quite unlikely. Then, after a challenging bike climb, it occurred again. I pulled out my trusty event monitor to record the rhythm and sent in the recording.
My suspicions were correct. I have supraventricular tachycardia, also known as SVT. And the episodes are becoming more frequent, and at times are lasting longer, up to 25 minutes at a time!
There are two ways to treat this. The first option is medication. That would decrease the frequency of the attacks. However, it would cause my heart to be slower all the time and would limit my capacity to swim, bike, or run, and in all likelihood would not cure me. The second option is an invasive procedure called an ablation, which involves feeding a catheter from the large vein in the upper leg up to the heart, localizing the abnormal rhythm, and burning through that abnormal electrical circuit. The cure rate with the latter option is 90-95%.
I'm opting for the latter, more invasive procedure. I need a cure. If I had SVT while running or bicycling, it would be disruptive, and I'd have to stop. Worse yet, if I had SVT while swimming in open water, that could be downright dangerous.
Until my ablation procedure is done, I cannot race. Which absolutely kills me, because I was looking forward to my first race of the season this weekend.
I am nervous -- even though the complication risk is very low, normally I'm the one performing the procedure, and now I will be the patient on the table. I think this will give me a different appreciation for my patients' experiences.

Sorry to hear about this.
I remember when I was a med student one of the pulm crit care docs said to him it seems like physicians wind up getting conditions they treat. He gave an example of a pt we had who was a pediatric neurologist who was suffering from some rare neurologic disease and then asked me what I was going into. When I told him EM, he told me I would probably be shot. So, look on the bright side...had you been a gastroenterologist you may have wound up with a huge GI bleed or a rectal prolapse...
Hope all goes well.
Oh, dang! I'm so sorry. But I'm glad you have a clear diagnosis and a 90% shot at a cure. -victoria
- Pacer Sharon said...
Wow -- Amazing that this would happen to such a dedicated athlete, and that you could diagnose it and weigh the best treatment. Hang in there,
My son is also a triathlete and he had this ablation procedure done some years ago, for the same reason. It worked like a miracle. Amazing. I hope that you have the same success that he did.
- The Girl said...
Good luck with the procedure! I have been on staff for a lot of these, too (although it is nothing like being the cardiologist - you must have nerves of steel) and can understand how scary it would be to be the patient.
I also thought I would add that your blog is great. As a vegan, it is fantastic to have somebody around who I can look to when I wonder whether I really am mad or not for eating this way, in spite of the support of all of the evidence base. :)
- Christie said...
I'm sorry to hear about this. I hope everything works out with the procedure.
- VeganLinda said...
I'm so sorry to hear this, but glad there is a possibility for a cure. I am amazed at how complex our hearts are. How wonderful that you knew to pay attention to the signs and what to do about them. My son has a Congenital Heart Defect and it makes me much for conscious about listening to things that don't "feel right". I hope all goes well with the procedure. I can imagine it is tough being on the patient side. When will you be able to be back up and racing after the surgery?
Hello there... I'm so sorry you have to go through this, but I'm hoping once you're back on your feet, you'll view it as a great gift from the Universe.
As a young heart patient (I had an MI at 37 -- no cardiac disease and no risk factors -- and ended up with a triple-bypass), I often reflect on my week in the cardiac care unit as the worst days of my life. Why? Not just because of the pain, shock and fear, but also because of the lack of compassion from many of the staff (doctors and nurses included). I never questioned their competence, and I had no doubts about their medical expertise -- but none of them seemed equipped to relate to the deep despair and helplessness I felt as a previously healthy woman struck down in her prime and finding herself in a hospital bed unexpectedly the week before Christmas. Even 2 years later, it's hard to really put those feelings into words, so I often just refer to that week in the hospital as "my Auschwitz." And a large part of it has to do with the callous way I was treated by the medical staff. (As you can tell, I'm still angry.)
So, I think being able to see the other side gives you a tremendous advantage -- a perfect complement to your skills as a physician. There's no gift greater than being able to walk in the shoes of your patients. It may enable you to participate in the total healing process -- the MIND as well as the body.
BTW, you seem like a cool person and a great doctor, and I really enjoy your blog. Best of luck to you, and best wishes for a speedy recovery!
- Katie M. said...
Good luck today, Heather! Hope it goes well and you are back on your bike soon :)
- HugeMD said...
Glad the ablation went well, and you're doing fine. I'm also secretly a little glad to see a cardiologist blew off her first epidsode, too. Now I don't feel so dumb. Thankfully, I've only had two, but I don't know if kicking the coffee addiction is worth it. Maybe I'll have to rethink that ablation...

That is very scary to think about. There are a lot of heart problems in my family and being overweight contributes to them. But it seems totally out of the norm for someone in shape to be faced with cardiac problems as well. I'm sure you stay within the recommended daily sodium intake and eat a diet low in fat.
I hope the procedure works for you. I have a brother that suffers form " left ventrical non compaction" which kept him from playing football. Is there any medical procedure to cure that as of yet?
- Mike said...
I am an avid cyclist and experiencing what I believe to be my first SVT early in the riding season last year. Since then, they have continued getting worse to the point where my HR is over 200 for nearly the entire ride (which sucks). So, I am mostly off the bike and waiting for an appointment next month. Hopefully an ablation is an option in my case as I would prefer not to treat this with meds. In any case, your story was great and I hope my results turn out as good as yours...
- Deb Hadden said...
I really appreciated your blog post. An interesting story. I started having SVT's in July, just when I am walking briskly or running up and down the stairs. My second to last SVT prompted an adenosine push in and ambulance and a follow up appt. with my cardiologist. My husband went with me and mentioned he had chest pains, and my doctor ordered a CTA angiography for him. He wound up finding out he had two 99% blocked arteries. Needless to say, I appreciate what interventional cardiologists do, as he is a vital man now thanks to his two stents. We have also become low-fat plant based vegans and appreciate the fact that our cardiologist is also and supports our lifestyle. Your post on your own experience with SVT's is a comfort to me. Thank you for sharing your story and for dedicating your life's career to saving others like my husband. I've chronicled our journey and many of our recipes on my blog http://www.coronarychronicle.blogspot.com

Hello. I'm also a triathlete, former athlete with similar condition like yours. My tachycardia kicks in after recovery and not during exercise. I can ride bike normally for hours and after I fully recover I get sometimes some rapid heart rate up to 160 lasting for few seconds to few minutes. My resting HR is in low 40s. I just need to be careful not to ride/run if having an episode. Not hard to miss it because I can fell heart racing. Nothing else, no pain, no sickness... If I start exercise when having an episode I get over 200HR in very moderate tempo.
I discovered this 3 years ago (my episodes in this time lasted for hours after exercise). Had holster monitor for 24 hours, was diagnosed with PSVT. Was put on beta-blockers which only lowered my HR, no fewer tachycardia's. Another holster for 24 hours and then I had ablation done but they could not found source of miss firing nerves. Re-scheduled for check up in a year and doubled my beta-blockers dosage. After consulting with my general doctor I stopped with beta-blockers (they lowered my HR to 35 - sitting and doing work by computer).
In time after this I changed my diet. Lost a few pounds, stopped drinking coffee and alcohol. Increased magnesium and potassium intake with food and ZIPVIT V0 Electrolyte Tablets during exercise.
What irritates me is that I cant zoom in on source of a problem. Sometimes I get episode and sometimes I don't. And if I do warmup run (up to 130HR) and then some distances I can get episode after warm up. Usually I can en an episode with valsalva maneuvers, but sometimes it wont end for few minutes and I have to sit down and hold my breath.
So did your ablation totally removed your problems? Any tips how should I proceed further?

Glad I found this site. My husband just went in today for ablation procedure for PSVT. Unfortunately, specialist just called me and unable to perform the ablation as there are 3 areas in the heart affected. Heart itself is fine; however, he now has to take, in addition to beta blocker (lopressor), a drug called flecanide. I read the side effects and not happy!!
I've been a whole foods, plant based eater since 2006 and have been teaching for PCRM, Dr. Neal Barnard's organization since '08. My husband ate plant based for 4 years, from 2007 - 2011. Those were his healthiest 4 years!! For reasons, I'm yet to understand, he reverted back to the SAD (Standard American Diet) in 2011, and here he is - 20 lbs heavier, pre-Type 2 diabetic, had radiation for early stage prostate cancer, and now this. I don't believe embracing plant based would immediately positively impact PSVT, but I know, for sure, that it would improve his overall health. Any other feedback would be appreciated. Hope you fare well with your procedure. Joanne Irwin

EVGA GeForce GTX 680 Classified with EVBOT review -
The GeForce GTX 680 series has been quite a success story ever since launch. Though there have been some controversial stutter issues reported, it seems that the bigger part of that problem got sorted out, leaving a really enticing product series. The reference products are really good, but the board partners continuously try to push the envelope to push out more and more SKUs, preferably factory overclocked or overclockable.
Kepler my fellow gurus, is the codename for the architecture behind the GeForce series 600 graphics cards and now in the Olympic Summer 2012 we have spotted many highly tweakable models from all partners. ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte and EVGA outted cards that can do surprising stuff. NVIDIA however put severe breaks on software based voltage tweaking, right now all cards will get into the 1200 MHz region, but that's it really as NVIDIA requires the cards to all have a maximum voltage plafond of 1.175V through NVAPI.
The next step for extreme tweakers will be hardwiring voltage lines to push more volts into the product. It's in these lines that we'll test the EVGA GeForce GTX 680 Classified today. A product that is 100% customized from PCB to cooling. Software voltage regulation works, but obviously as well is limited to that 1.175V. EVGA however does have an alternative for the Classified model as tested today, you can hook up a small piece of hardware to it called EVBot, which controls the voltages directly at hardware level, and thus bypassing the NVAPI software limitation.
With that in mind we'll be reviewing the product as is, the reality is that the Classified already is tweaked and overclocked for you. But for the performance mongers amongst us we'll check out the EVBot as well in our overclock segment of the article, hey we have thriving thirst to reach 1.4 GHz on that Kepler GPU core.
But even without EVBot, the GTX 680 Classified is an impressive beast, the customized GTX 680 has a good single design cooler applied to it. The card's base clock frequency is set higher at default for you, at 1111 MHz with a dynamic turbo that clocks up-to 1176 MHz.
The memory though runs at a reference stock clock frequency of 6008 MHz (effective datarate) but you do get 4 GB of it! Obviously we have a thing or two to show you, so let's startup the article shall we ?
In this review we test the EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti SC SuperClocked ACX review, armed with that 450W cooler and our FLIR camera we'll see if it really is good cooling. Oh and hey, SC means a factory o...
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Classified review
We review the EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Classified, this graphics card is equipped with NVIDIA's second to best flagship GPU. Combined with an all custom PCB design and a lot of tweaking features this product will be enticing for a lot of you guys.
EVGA GeForce GTX 760 SC ACX review
In this article we review the EVGA GeForce GTX 760 SC ACX edition, this particular model comes with a dual-slot two fan ACX cooling solution. That boils down to a more silent product versus and great cooling performance. EVA offers the card factory overclocked at some pretty impressive clock frequencies. Join us in this review and let's see if the 269 USD ACX model will be worth it for you.
EVGA GeForce GTX 770 SC review
In this review we peek at the EVGA GeForce GTX 770 SC (SuperClocked) edition. This model graphics card comes with a factory overclock and the new ACX cooler. Overall the card is sitting in-between the GeForce GTX 680 and GeForce GTX 780 , with its 1111 MHz core clock frequency. We take the latest games and do some FCAT testing as well.

"For the first time, three religious charity umbrella groups in New York are joining forces to study government policies and programs designed to help people living in poverty in the hopes of finding better solutions to the problem and helping really change lives," reports Theresa Agovino in Crain's New York yesterday May 15, 2014.
Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York, the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies, and the UJA Federation of New York have worked on jointly providing services over the years, but their latest endeavor is taking a new turn. Two months ago, the trio tapped the Urban Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based social and economic and policy research group, to review various government poverty programs, with an emphasis on city programs, to learn more about what is effective. They paid $125,000 for the study and hope to have results in two months. The executive said that it was still too soon to say how they would use the results of the study because they aren't sure what it will uncover.
Together the groups have a network of more than 400 nonprofits that offer a wide range of services including providing food, housing and job training to a total of nearly six million people. Many of those nonprofits receive city funding and work with government agencies on various programs.
'We may have different theologies, but we each share the tradition of feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and housing the homeless,' said John Ruskay, executive vice president and chief executive officer of the UJA.
Despite all of the good works these groups and others provide, poverty in the city remains stubbornly high. The poverty rate in New York City was essentially unchanged at 21% from 2010 to 2012, but that's up from 19% in 2008, according to the New York City's Center for Economic Opportunity, which works to fight poverty.
'We want to see how we can change the outcomes,' said Monsignor Kevin Sullivan, executive director of Catholic Charities. 'Maybe certain programs need to be scaled up or offered together. How can we do better?'
Jennifer Jones Austin, chief executive officer and executive director of the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies, said she heard about a similar study being conducted in Wisconsin and thought it would be a good idea to create one for the city to help inform public policy. She opted to reach out to her counterparts to amplify her voice.
'We are all distinguished and respected in our own rights,' said Ms. Jones Austin, who served as co-chair of Mayor Bill de Blasio's transition team along with Carl Weisbrod. 'I believe that with the three of us people will be really listening at city hall.'
It is unacceptable in our wealthy city and nation that one out of five New Yorkers now lives below the poverty line, scrambling to feed and house their hungry children.
"Poverty and its effects afflicts too many of our neighbors in New York," Msgr. Sullivan said as he discussed this interfaith initiative.
"I look forward to reporting back to you on the Urban Institute's findings. This study will hopefully serve to enhance our work and our impact on those most in need."
Follow us here on Facebook and Twitter to stay abreast of the latest findings.

According to a Ski Magazine reader survey, Park City's Canyons Resort was ranked as one of the top resorts in North America. Moving six spots from the previous year, Canyons Resort took the 10th spot on the list. The annual list, which will be released later this month, uses thousands of reader surveys to compile the rankings.
"Over the last couple of years, we've made our way in rapid fashion up the list," said Mike Goar, General Manager of Canyons Resort. "Making it into the Top 10 was a benchmark that our employees, that everyone here, is quite proud of, and the employees really deserve the credit. We received very high marks on our customer service."
When Talisker bought the resort in 2007, the property's score hovered in the mid-to-low 20's. Last year, the resort moved up the list, ranked 16th in North American in a competition against resorts in the United States and Canada.
"(Talisker) has put a lot of money in to the resort since they bought it in 2008," said Ski Magazine Travel Editor Samantha Berman, "so it's not surprising at all. Skiers are seeing the results of that money. From on-mountain dining to the terrain to ski school, they've touched everything across board."
"The resort has a different feel to it," she added. "Skiers notice these kinds of things."
Canyons Resort made upgrades to the Resort Village and its on-mountain dining, as well as adding 300 acres of intermediate and advanced trails. The resort also boasts new lodging and dining properties this year and upgrades to its terrain parks.
"There are further terrain enhancement, whether it's tree glade-ing or improving existing terrain, we're making improvements."
"We've have an ongoing program, something that has always been a priority, to continually improve the terrain," he added.
The surveys allow responders to rank up to six resorts and pull from 20 different criteria on the survey. Ski Magazine sent out 20,000 print surveys as well as another 20,000 through email. Roughly 25 percent of the surveys sent out are answered, Berman said.
The magazine plans to release the full list shortly before the print edition hits stands on Oct. 16.

For anyone from the UK, the BBC site is the place for you!
For anyone else, here ya go!
That was fantastic! Nice and creepy :-)
And a clever way to reveal a bit more footage of TND at the end ;-)
That was fun - although, we all know John Barrowman can sing much better than that. So why didn't he? Just because the point of the video wasn't to showcase his singing skills doesn't mean he can't throw them in on a whim.

TUCSON, Ariz. – University of Arizona Wildcat football head coach Rich Rodriguez and select players met with media members at a weekly press conference on Monday. Below is a brief transcript.
Head Coach Rich Rodriguez
Opening statement:
"Well, another season is upon us. We're pretty excited about playing in games. I know the fans are. Playing on Friday nights will be like high school for them. We've had pretty good focus in the last three weeks or so and now the bigger challenge is keeping focus with classes starting and the game upon us. We've stayed relatively injury free which was expected because we've done less hitting. That makes me a little nervous going into the first game with our blocking and tackling. We've had to do less from a standpoint of our depth and keeping our guys healthy going into the first game."
On the starting quarterback:
"B.J. Denker was a front-runner coming in. In the beginning of camp it was a mix, and in the last week or so B.J. has gotten better. He's still the front-runner but we've got a few more practices before the week is over. We don't treat the quarterback position different than any other position. You could be starting on Tuesday and not on Wednesday. With the inexperience we have, it's an ongoing competition. We treat this position like the rest of them; rolling guys in and getting them a lot of reps. Whoever the best one is at game time gets the start."
On the number of quarterbacks who could play:
"We could play three or four. Four is probably the most. Four guys have been getting the majority of the reps and that's been hard to do. Coach [Rod] Smith has done a good job of getting the reps around."
On freshman quarterback Anu Solomon:
"He's getting reps because we want to keep him honed up but it's hardest for him because he's a true freshman coming in. We like everything we've seen from him but he's behind the rest of the guys because he wasn't here for spring practice."
On quarterback play:
"The guys we have now are capable. Are they as good as Matt Scott was? Probably not but I don't think there were many quarterbacks in the country as good as Matt Scott throwing the football last year. I think they've all improved to some point. We put pressure on them to see how they respond in practice and they've responded pretty well. They don't go in the tank when they have a bad play."
On freshman receiver Nate Phillips:
"Nate has good ball skills, he has good speed and he's a confident guy when he's back there catching kicks or punts. I'm not sure if he's the first punt or kick returner but he'll be out there Friday night."
On Northern Arizona:
"NAU is a good football team; they have most of their team coming back, and they're going to be fired up and jacked up to come play Arizona. We try to focus a lot on us with how we play and how we prepare. Later in the week is when we focus on schemes."
On receiver DaVonte' Neal:
"He's had a great attitude and he's prepared either way. He has done a lot of scout team work but we've given him reps to understand our offense."
On junior quarterback Jesse Scroggins:
"Missing the practices in the spring and a few in the fall has set him back a little bit. He's trying to get caught up. Jesse's still getting reps."
On competition at every position:
"If you want to elevate the performance of the guys, bring in competition. We don't have enough yet. We need two or three guys at every position competing for playing time."
On playing man coverage:
"We're going to try to play a little more. We have more experienced cornerbacks and we've stayed healthy so far. More than anything, we have a better understanding of what we need to do defensively. This year, veteran guys know why we do certain coverages or blitzes."
On depth on the defense:
"This year we have more depth. We have three or four freshmen linebackers that are going to play. That's given us some competition and some depth."
On sophomore linebacker Keoni Bush-Loo:
"He's a year older. I think last year he played before he was ready. He understands what we're doing better, and he had a really good fall camp. I think his play has been elevated because we have Scooby Wright and Derrick Turituri right there behind him."
On freshman linebacker Scooby Wright:
"He's just a good football player. I think he would like to play both ways. Anything you ask him to do, whether its rush the passer, blitz, cover someone; he'd be a fullback if you asked him. He's a true football player. He's learned pretty well. Sometimes we have to sit back and realize he's a true freshman."
On kicking and punting:
"The kicker is either going to be Jake Smith or Casey Skowron. They both looked good in camp. Jake has probably taken a little lead but Casey is still there. Drew Riggleman has punted pretty solidly, and Jake is the backup there."
On preparing freshmen for the first game:
"Everybody gets ready for games in different ways. Coaches need to have a feel for their players. They work all year for 12 or 13 opportunities so it's more keeping them relaxed and enjoying the moment."
Senior Receiver Terrence Miller
On not having a quarterback announced:
"It doesn't really matter to me. Only one can be on the field at a time so whoever Coach Rodriguez chooses to be out there is fine with me. I would say that I'm very comfortable with all of our quarterbacks that are in the competition so whoever gets the job I'm sure will do fine."
On preparations for NAU:
"After being in camp and only playing against each other, it gets boring at times so now that we're preparing to play other people I think the excitement at practice has risen a bit. Last night's practice was like that, and I think today will be like that, too. Everybody will be really enthusiastic about going up against NAU. I have watched film on them, and they're a great team. They have a great defense and an experienced secondary mostly made up of upper classmen. We really have our job cut out for us this weekend. We have to focus in this week to make sure we're doing everything right and not making any mistakes."
On coming together as a team:
"With the speed that we've been going at, especially on offense, everybody has to be on one page. It's more than just on the practice field. We have to spend time off the field to get a feel for each other, so we know that when the game is on the line, we're all on one page."
On Coach Rodriguez making the team uncomfortable:
"Coach Rodriguez likes to throw me in a lot of different positions at all times and play out plays that we might not have gone over. Knowing that I know my roles and how he likes to scheme the offense at times, he likes to challenge me at times in various positions to challenge myself. Sometimes it's without warning so I know he has confidence in me to get the job done."
On the young receivers:
"I would describe them as young but explosive. Whenever the light clicks on for those guys, it could be this game even, but you never know because this is their first game. All of those guys have tools that are different and just because they're not as big as some of the other receivers who have been here in the past, they are explosive players and can go up at any time."
On the feeling playing in a renovated stadium:
"I really appreciate everything everybody has done in terms of our stadium and our new facility but at the end of the day, the game doesn't change. We still have to play football so in my mind I'm not really worried about the extras when the lights come on. All these things are nice, I've never seen anything like it in my life and I almost missed this opportunity so it's definitely a blessing but once we spot the ball none of that stuff matters."
Senior Defensive Lineman Tevin Hood
On what they key is to getting pressure on the quarterback:
"We just have to stay more active on the rush. I feel like we're more confident in our scheme coming back this year, so because of that we'll be able to, I guess, bend the rules a little more to get more pressure."
On having more capable players:
"I like to think that we're all capable. I think just the fact that we have been in this scheme for a year now and the fact that we're more experienced, we all feel more comfortable. If that makes people more capable then yeah, I'd say so."
On the lack of contact during fall camp:
"It's difficult. I know the offense was glad. I was mad. You go full speed but you have to tone it down because you don't want to hurt people. With no contact, you can't really play defensive or offensive line, so that was just something we had to get used to. I think it It kept a lot more people healthy."
On the defensive line's confidence:
"We're much more confident. It's a whole new era almost. Just the fact that we have the entire basis of it is real strong and we can tweak it more and get different packages out of it that we weren't able to last year because we weren't necessarily as comfortable with it."
On the new facility:
"It's going to be nice to have a new locker room facility and everything before the game and halftime but between the whistles, we're still out there on the turf so for me I'm going to work regardless of where I have to sit at halftime. I appreciate everything that has been put in place here but we still have to go out there and handle business."
Senior Running Back Daniel Jenkins
On his new role as running back/wide receiver:
"I think it's been going well. I'm just trying to take on the new responsibilities with the best of my ability. It's a lot to learn and I think I've done pretty well so far this camp. I'm just trying to stay focused and help the team as best I can."
On what it means when Coach Rodriguez says, "I like to make them uncomfortable":
"Well, offensively, when he says he wants to make us uncomfortable, he's trying to put as much pressure on us as he can in practice so when we get to the games, we won't fold under the lights. It will be a little more smooth for us. I think the staff, as a whole, is doing that for us, offensively and defensively."
On less hitting in fall camp:
"I think it was great and that it was a smart coaching move on Coach Rodriguez's part. It kept a lot of guys healthy and we had a tremendous decrease in injuries. We have little nicks but it wasn't the beating up we get in a usual fall camp. We also got a lot of good work in and became a better team."
On what he will be thinking going into Friday's game after new stadium renovations and facility upgrades:
"For me, it's a blessing to be back here (at the University of Arizona). To be in this brand new facility, it's probably going to be emotional for me to be back in Tucson and playing in front of this crowd. I'm looking to have an amazing game."
The Wildcats will take to Arizona Stadium on Fri., Aug. 30 to host Northern Arizona. The 7 p.m. contest will air on Pac-12 Networks.
Tickets for the 2013 football season including in the north end zone and club level of the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility, are available and can be purchased by visiting the McKale Center Ticket Office, calling 520-621-CATS or by visiting ArizonaWildcats.com/footballtickets.

This weekend, pull out your water bottle and lace up your shoes for the annual Climb4Life Utah program presented by the HERA Women's Cancer Foundation.
A fun-filled weekend of rock climbing, hiking and outdoor photography hosted by Black Diamond, the goal of the event is to raise funds and awareness about ovarian cancer by bringing together families, ovarian cancer survivors, outdoors fans and the community.
Eleven years running, Climb4Life continues to aid scientific research, community grants, education and awareness initiatives for ovarian cancer through HERA, which commits 88 percent of its fundraiser earnings to those areas.
This weekend's fundraiser participants will have the opportunity to climb and hike with professional guides from Utah Mountain Adventure and SPLORE in various locations across the Wasatch. A new option for participants this year will also be photography, instructed by professional photographers, videographers and trainers.
Meg Steitz, executive director for the HERA Foundation, explains the purpose behind the program as being not only beneficial for those affected by ovarian cancer, but for every one: "Climb4Life is about more than climbing, hiking or the outdoors. It's about problem solving, risk taking and confidence—skills that can be applied to many of life's challenges, including fighting cancer."
This is surely the vision HERA Founder Sean Patrick had when she created the Climb4Life series while recovering from her seventh ovarian cancer surgery. The event has now expanded into a multi-city program involving hundreds of partners across the country from Boston to Boulder.
The kick off this weekend will be at 6 p.m. on Friday night. Registration will happen at that time and all hiking and other activities will start at 9 a.m. the following day, Saturday Sept. 15.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Junebug77 Not as pictured These are cute, a little more rustic/crude than expected, but still nice and I'm sure they'll work well. I haven't used them yet. I received the package today, but was disappointed to find I received 2 of the same style servers. The picture shows 2 different style servers selling as a "set", which is what I expected and hoped for to match my eclectic flatware. I received 2 of the same design, and if I had to choose, I would've preferred the style that I was NOT sent. They are each wrapped individually and labeled with a price tag of $9.99...so I wonder why they are sold online as a set of 2 when clearly they are tagged to sell separately? Am I the only buyer who expected a set of 2 as shown and is bugged by receiving a matching "pair". If they are tagged individually why aren't they sold individually? And can I return just the one? Either one - they are the same ;) I feel duped and I'm not sure what bugs me more - receiving 2 of the same item when 2 different styles are shown as a set, or seeing them priced to sell individually!? Packaging was great, I received other items as well and am happy with those - which is great as they are gifts for others. These were a gift to myself. Bah Humbug. December 11, 2014
