carotid artery disease
The internal carotid arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the brain. The external carotid arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the face, scalp, and neck.
Carotid artery disease can be very serious because it can cause a stroke, or "brain attack." A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is cut off. If blood flow is cut off for more than a few minutes, the cells in the brain start to die. This impairs the parts of the body that the brain cells control. A stroke can cause lasting brain damage, long-term disability, paralysis (an inability to move), or death.
OverviewWhen plaque builds up in arteries, the condition is called atherosclerosis. Over time, plaque hardens and narrows the arteries. This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your organs and other parts of your body.
Atherosclerosis can affect any artery in the body. For example, when plaque builds up in the coronary arteries, a heart attack can occur. When plaque builds up in the carotid arteries, a stroke can occur.
A stroke also can occur if blood clots form in the carotid arteries. This can happen if, over time, the plaque in an artery cracks or ruptures. Blood cells called platelets stick to the site of the injury and may clump together to form blood clots. Blood clots can partly or fully block a carotid artery.
Also, a piece of plaque or a blood clot can break away from the wall of the carotid artery. It can travel through the bloodstream and get stuck in one of the brain's smaller arteries. This can block blood flow in the artery and cause a stroke.
Carotid artery disease may not cause signs or symptoms until the carotid arteries are severely narrowed or blocked. For some people, a stroke is the first sign of the disease.
OutlookCarotid artery disease causes more than half of the strokes that occur in the United States. Other conditions, such as certain heart problems and bleeding in brain, also can cause strokes.
Lifestyle changes, medicines, and/or medical procedures can help prevent or treat carotid artery disease and may reduce the risk for stroke.
If you think you're having a stroke, you need urgent treatment. Call emergency services right away if you have symptoms of a stroke (don't drive yourself to the hospital). Getting care within 1 hour of having symptoms is important.
You have the best chance for full recovery if treatment to open a blocked artery is given within 6 hours of symptom onset. Ideally, treatment should be given within 3 hours of symptom onset.
What causes carotid artery disease?Carotid artery disease appears to start when damage occurs to the inner layers of the carotid arteries. Major factors that contribute to damage include:
Who is at risk for carotid artery disease?Certain traits, conditions, or habits may raise the risk for carotid artery disease. These conditions are known as risk factors. The more risk factors you have, the more likely you are to get the disease. You can control some, but not all, risk factors.
The major risk factors for carotid artery disease, listed below, also are the major risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart disease.
Steps include following a healthy lifestyle and taking any medicines your doctor prescribes. (For more information, see "How can carotid artery disease be prevented?")
The amount of plaque buildup in the carotid arteries also may suggest plaque buildup in other arteries. Doctors can predict the degree of atherosclerosis in other arteries based on the thickness of the carotid arteries. Thus, people who have carotid artery disease also are more likely to have CAD.
Signs and symptoms of carotid artery diseaseCarotid artery disease may not cause signs or symptoms until it severely narrows or blocks the carotid arteries. Signs and symptoms may include a bruit, a transient ischemic attack (TIA), or a stroke.
BruitDuring a physical exam, your doctor may listen to your carotid arteries with a stethoscope. He or she may hear a whooshing sound called a bruit. This sound may suggest changed or reduced blood flow due to plaque. To find out more, your doctor may order tests.
Not all people who have carotid artery disease have bruits.
Transient ischemic attackFor some people, having a TIA, or "mini-stroke," is the first sign of carotid artery disease. During a mini-stroke, you may have some or all of the symptoms of a stroke. However, the symptoms usually go away on their own within 24 hours.
The symptoms may include:
A mini-stroke is a warning sign that you're at high risk of having a stroke. You shouldn't ignore these symptoms. About one-third of people who have mini-strokes will have strokes if they don't get treatment.
Although a mini-stroke may warn of a stroke, it doesn't predict when a stroke will happen. A stroke may occur days, weeks, or even months after a mini-stroke. In about half of the cases of strokes that follow a TIA, the stroke occurs within 1 year.
StrokeMost people who have carotid artery disease don't have mini-strokes before they have strokes. The symptoms of stroke are the same as those of mini-stroke, but the results are not. A stroke can cause lasting brain damage, long-term disability, paralysis (an inability to move), or even death.
Getting treatment for a stroke right away is very important. You have the best chance for full recovery if treatment to open a blocked artery is given within 6 hours of symptom onset. Ideally, treatment should be given within 3 hours of symptom onset.
Make those close to you aware of stroke symptoms and the need for urgent action. Learning the signs and symptoms of a stroke will allow you to help yourself or someone close to you lower the risk for damage or death from a stroke.
DiagnosisYour doctor will diagnose carotid artery disease based on your medical history and the results from a physical exam and tests.
Medical historyYour doctor will find out whether you have any of the major risk factors for carotid artery disease. He or she also will ask whether you've had any signs or symptoms of a mini-stroke or stroke.
Physical examTo check your carotid arteries, your doctor will listen to them with a stethoscope. He or she will listen for a whooshing sound called a bruit. This sound may indicate changed or reduced blood flow due to plaque. To find out more, your doctor may order tests.
Diagnostic testsThe following tests are common for diagnosing carotid artery disease. If you have symptoms of a mini-stroke or stroke, your doctor may use other tests as well.
Carotid ultrasoundCarotid ultrasound (also called sonography) is the most common test for diagnosing carotid artery disease. It's a painless, harmless test that uses sound waves to create pictures of the insides of your carotid arteries. This test can show whether plaque has narrowed your carotid arteries and how narrow they are.
A standard carotid ultrasound shows the structure of your carotid arteries. A Doppler carotid ultrasound shows how blood moves through your blood vessels.
Carotid angiographyCarotid angiography is a special type of X-ray. This test may be used if the ultrasound results are unclear or don't give your doctor enough information.
For this test, your doctor will inject a special substance (called contrast dye) into a vein, most often in your leg. The dye travels to your carotid arteries and highlights them on X-ray pictures.
Magnetic resonance angiographyMagnetic resonance angiography (MRA) uses a large magnet and radio waves to take pictures of your carotid arteries. Your doctor can see these pictures on a computer screen.
For this test, your doctor may give you contrast dye to highlight your carotid arteries on the pictures.
Computed tomography angiographyComputed tomography, or CT, angiography takes X-ray pictures of the body from many angles. A computer combines the pictures into two- and three-dimensional images.
For this test, your doctor may give you contrast dye to highlight your carotid arteries on the pictures.
TreatmentTreatments for carotid artery disease may include lifestyle changes, medicines, and medical procedures. The goals of treatment are to stop the disease from getting worse and to prevent a stroke.
Your treatment will depend on your symptoms, how severe the disease is, and your age and overall health.
Lifestyle changesMaking lifestyle changes often can help prevent carotid artery disease or keep it from getting worse. For some people, these changes may be the only treatment needed: Follow a healthy eating plan to prevent or lower high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol and to maintain a healthy weight. Increase your physical activity. Check with your doctor first to find out how much and what kinds of activity are safe for you. If you're overweight or obese, lose weight. If you smoke, quit. Avoid exposure to secondhand smoke.
Follow a healthy eating plan
To help keep carotid artery disease from getting worse, follow an eating plan that's low in saturated and trans fats, sodium (salt), and cholesterol. Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) are two examples of healthy eating plans.
TLC. Your doctor may recommend TLC if you have high cholesterol. TLC is a three-part program that includes a healthy diet, physical activity, and weight management.
With the TLC diet, less than 7 percent of your daily calories should come from saturated fat. This kind of fat is mainly found in meat and poultry, including dairy products. No more than 25 to 35 percent of your daily calories should come from all fats, including saturated, trans, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats.
You also should have less than 200 mg a day of cholesterol. The amounts of cholesterol and the different kinds of fat in prepared foods can be found on the Nutrition Facts label.
Foods high in soluble fiber also are part of a healthy eating plan. They help block the digestive tract from absorbing cholesterol. These foods include: Whole grain cereals such as oatmeal and oat bran Fruits such as apples, bananas, oranges, pears, and prunes. Legumes such as kidney beans, lentils, chick peas, black-eyed peas, and lima beans A diet high in fruits and vegetables can increase important cholesterol-lowering compounds in your diet. These compounds, called plant stanols or sterols, work like soluble fiber.
Fish are an important part of a healthy diet. They're a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower blood cholesterol levels. Try to have about two fish meals every week. Fish high in omega-3 fats are salmon, tuna (canned or fresh), and mackerel.
You also should try to limit the amount of sodium that you eat. This means choosing low-sodium and "no added salt" foods and seasonings at the table or when cooking. The Nutrition Facts label on food packaging shows the amount of sodium in the item.
Try to limit drinks with alcohol. Too much alcohol will raise your blood pressure and triglyceride level. (Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood.) Alcohol also adds extra calories, which will 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.
DASH. Your doctor may recommend the DASH eating plan if you have high blood pressure. The DASH eating plan focuses on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and other foods that are healthy and lower in salt/sodium.
This eating plan is low in fat and cholesterol. It also focuses on fat-free or low-fat milk and dairy products, fish, poultry, and nuts. The DASH eating plan is reduced in red meats (including lean red meat), sweets, added sugars, and sugar-containing beverages. It's rich in nutrients, protein, and fiber.
The DASH eating plan is a good healthy eating plan, even for those who don't have high blood pressure.
Increase physical activity
Regular physical activity can lower many carotid artery disease risk factors, including LDL ("bad") cholesterol, high blood pressure, and excess weight. Physical activity also can lower your risk for diabetes and raise your levels of HDL cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol that helps prevent plaque buildup).
Check with your doctor about how much and what kinds of physical activity are safe for you. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, try to get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity on most or all days of the week. You can do the activity all at once or break it up into shorter periods of at least 10 minutes each.
Moderate-intensity activities include brisk walking, dancing, bowling, bicycling, gardening, and housecleaning. More intense activities, such as jogging, swimming, and various sports, also may be appropriate for shorter periods.
Maintain a healthy weight
Maintaining a healthy weight can decrease risk factors for carotid artery disease and stroke. Even a modest weight gain of a few pounds a year can almost double your chances of having a stroke.
If you're overweight, aim to reduce your weight by 7 to 10 percent during your first year of treatment. This amount of weight loss can lower your risk for carotid artery disease and other health problems.
After the first year, you may have to continue to lose weight so you can lower your body mass index (BMI) to less than 25.
BMI measures your weight in relation to your height. A BMI between 25 and 29 is considered overweight for adults. A BMI of 30 or more is considered obese for adults. A BMI of less than 25 is the goal for preventing and treating carotid artery disease.
Quit smoking
If you smoke or use tobacco, quit. Smoking can damage your arteries and raise your risk for stroke and other health problems.
Talk to your doctor about programs and products that can help you quit.
MedicinesYou may need medicines to treat diseases and conditions that damage the carotid arteries. High blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and diabetes can worsen carotid artery disease.
Some people can control these problems with lifestyle changes. Others also need medicines to achieve and maintain control.
You may need antiplatelet medicines to prevent blood clots from forming in your carotid arteries and causing a stroke. Damage and plaque buildup make blood clots more likely.
Aspirin and clopidogrel are two common antiplatelet medicines. They stop platelets from clumping together to form clots. These medicines are a mainstay of treatment for people who have known carotid artery disease.
Your health care team will help find a treatment plan that's right for you. Sticking to this plan will help avoid further harm to your carotid arteries.
ProceduresYou may need a medical procedure to treat carotid artery disease. Doctors use one of two methods to open narrowed or blocked carotid arteries.
Carotid endarterectomy
This treatment is mainly for people whose carotid arteries are blocked 50 percent or more.
For the procedure, a surgeon will make a cut in your neck to reach the narrowed or blocked carotid artery. He or she will make a cut in the artery and remove the plaque inside. The artery and your neck will then be stitched up.
Carotid artery angioplasty and stenting
Doctors use a procedure called angioplasty to widen the carotid arteries and restore blood flow to the brain.
A thin tube with a balloon on the end is threaded through a blood vessel in your neck to the narrowed or blocked carotid artery. Once in place, the balloon is inflated to push the plaque outward against the wall of the artery.
A stent (a small mesh tube) is then put in the artery to hold the plaque back and keep the artery open.
PreventionTaking action to control your risk factors can help prevent or delay carotid artery disease and stroke. The more risk factors you have, the more likely you are to get carotid artery disease.
Making lifestyle changes and taking prescribed medicines are important steps. For information on healthy eating plans, physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and medicines, see "How is carotid artery disease treated?"
Know your family history of health problems related to carotid artery disease. If you or someone in your family has this disease, be sure to tell your doctor. Also, let your doctor know if you smoke.
Living with carotid artery diseaseIf you have carotid artery disease, you can take steps to stop it from getting worse. Make lifestyle changes, follow your treatment plan, and know the warning signs of stroke.
Lifestyle changes
Treatment planFollowing your treatment plan is important. It may help prevent your carotid artery disease from getting worse. It also can lower your risk for stroke and other health problems.
You may need to take medicines to control certain risk factors and to prevent blood clots that could cause a stroke. Taking prescribed medicines and following a healthy lifestyle can help control carotid artery disease. However, they can't cure the disease. You will likely have to stick with your treatment plan for life.
Ongoing care
If you have carotid artery disease, having ongoing medical care is important.
Most people who have the disease will need to have their blood pressures and blood cholesterol levels tested one or more times a year. If you have diabetes, you'll also need routine blood sugar tests and other tests.
Testing shows whether these conditions are under control, or whether your doctor needs to adjust your treatment for better results.
If you've had a stroke or procedures to restore blood flow in your carotid arteries, you will likely need a yearly carotid Doppler ultrasound test. This test shows how well blood flows through your carotid arteries.
Repeating this test over time will show whether the narrowing or blockage in your carotid arteries is getting worse. Results also can show how well procedures to treat your arteries have worked.
Follow up with your doctor regularly. The sooner your doctor spots problems, the sooner he or she can prescribe treatment.
Stroke warning signsKnow the warning signs of a stroke and what to do if they occur. The signs and symptoms of stroke may include:
Make those close to you aware of stroke symptoms and the need for urgent action. Learning the signs and symptoms of a stroke will allow you to help yourself or someone close to you lower the risk for damage or death from a stroke.

Reasons for Hearing Loss: Drinking Alcohol
Ever notice that when youre at a social gathering, private home or down at the neighborhood watering hole, and you're designated the designated driver (Yes, Ill have a cranberry spritzer. I have to drive this crew home later.), just how loud everyone talks. And as the libations flow freely, the sound just gets louder and louder and LOUDER!
Well, you might think that its the tequila shooters loosening up the party-goers that brings that volume to such high levels and thats part of it. But its not just high spirits that pumps up the volume. Drinking alcohol lessens your ability to hear.
Whatd ya say?
|Bottoms up may cause hearing to bottom out
True story. British researchers at the University College of London Hospitals, lead by Tahwinder Upile, studied a group of 30 healthy adults, tested their hearing levels sober and as they consumed alcohol and discovered that as the subjects drank, their hearing became less acute.
According to Upiles report, he and his associates rounded up healthy adults between 20 and 40 years of age. All test subjects were free of any history of long-term alcohol abuse and the test was administered in a research lab, not the pub down the street (which seems unnecessarily rigid in adherence to the scientific method but science marches on). Oh, and all test subjects were volunteers, though theres no indication in the report just how much convincing was required to get folks to enjoy a few brews under the fluorescent glare of laboratory lights. Sounds like it might be good for giggles.
Testing took place using a breath analyzer and standard hearing testing methodologies. Test subjects consumed alcohol, were tested for alcohol levels in the blood stream and given a hearing test at various stages of well, for lack of a better word, drunkenness. The more intoxicated the imbibers got, the less they could hear. No wonder busy bars are so loud at 1:00AM. Most of the patrons are blitzed on Jgermeister and cant hear themselves talk!
Got the picture? A group of researchers in starched white lab coats, clipboards in hand, track the antics of 30 adults matching each other shot for shot. Interesting. Must have been fun.
Hey, turn up the bass, will ya?
Other results of the study: older volunteers were affected more by the alcohol than younger test subjects.
Another finding? Greater loss of hearing in the lower ranges of sound the thumping base line range of sound. More importantly, hearing these lower frequencies is essential to hearing and understanding vowels in speech. So, the loss of low-frequency hearing caused by drinking alcohol diminishes the drinkers ability to fully understand speech regardless of how loud the band.
It certainly explains the importance of more bass on the dance floor. Revelers cant hear it clearly so they have to feel it viscerally.
Do I have to stop drinking wine at dinner?
If you enjoy a glass of wine with dinner, please continue the practice. Wine particularly red wine, has been found to actually improve health when sipped in moderation. A glass or two. No more.
Fortunately, Upiles report from the University College of London Hospitals showed that the hearing loss was temporary and hearing returned to normal quickly. However, the question remains: why does alcohol affect the ability to hear?
Two schools of thought, here. First, some researchers believe that alcohol actually impairs the complex hearing mechanisms of the inner ear the cochlea and the tiny little hair cells that stimulate the auditory nerve. The other school of thought is that alcohol impairs the brains ability to process sound. As the song says, Your lips move but I cant hear what youre saying. (The Wall, Pink Floyd).
In either case, the condition known in scientific circles as Cocktail Deafness is no longer supported by anecdotal evidence alone. Sure, we all know the party gets louder as the evening wears on.
Now theres a reason why. Bottoms up.

Sonam wants to direct again
She says that her first love is acting, which she would want to do for the rest of her life. However, direction is also something that delights her. She plans to get into directing movies, in just two years. She further adds that she would need some more time to take care of the script and other associated logistics. However, she says that she would at least wait 10 years before she goes back to the camera.
She currently is in Scotland, shooting for the movie Mausam. Sanjay Leela Bhansali had actually thought of casting her in the female lead of Saawariya, even when she was working as an assistant director with him for the critically acclaimed Black.

These roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to better ones; they are for what they are; they exist with God to-day. There is no time in them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence. Before a leaf-bud has burst, its whole life acts; in the full-blown flower there is no more; in the leafless root there is no less. Its nature is satisfied, and it satisfies nature, in all moments alike. But man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present above time.

General Electric Buys Enron Wind, Buoys U.S. Wind Industry
GE Power Systems — a General Electric company — announced last week that it plans to buy Enron Wind from its parent company, the bankrupt Enron Corporation. GE Power Systems will take ownership of the Enron's wind turbine manufacturing and marketing operations, but not the wind facilities owned or operated by Enron. The news was a relief to the U.S. wind energy industry, which feared that one of the largest U.S. wind turbine manufacturers — the seventh largest in the world — would be sold to a company overseas. If approved by bankruptcy court, the deal should be finalized in April. See the press releases from Enron and General Electric on the Enron Wind Web site.
Meanwhile, the progress on U.S. wind power installations has slowed dramatically this year. One of the few recent wind power additions was a single 900-kilowatt wind turbine installed near Valley City, North Dakota, by Minnkota Power Cooperative. Power from the turbine will be sold through the utility's green power program. Commissioned in late January, the turbine holds the honor of being the first utility- scale wind turbine in North Dakota. See the Minnkota press release.
Despite the slowdown, larger wind power installations are still being planned and pursued by several companies. Endless Energy Corporation, for instance, has announced plans to install a 7-turbine wind facility near Manchester, Vermont, and a 29-turbine facility near Stratton, Maine. Combined, the two facilities could generate enough electricity to power 35,000 New England homes. The company hopes to install the Vermont facility this summer. See the Endless Energy Web site.

Norwich Democratic mayoral candidates Deb Hinchey and Charlie Jaskiewicz are visiting precincts across the city today for last-minute campaigning as the primary election is in full swing.
The City Council members both voted just after 6 a.m., and have spent much of the morning holding election signs and talking with residents in school parking lots where voting is taking place.
Moderators have reported mixed turnout numbers. By 1:30 p.m., 265 people have voted at John B. Stanton Elementary, but just 50 have done so at Huntington Elementary.
The polls remain open until 8 p.m. Hinchey will be at Billy Wilson's Ageing Still to monitor returns, while Jaskiewicz hosts a post-election party at Jack's Italian Restaurant.
As of 2 p.m., voter turnout was at 9.6 percent.

Menopause Health Center
Did Men's Yen for Younger Women Cause Menopause?
The scientists found that the development of menopause seems to have done nothing to improve the chances of human survival over time, but rather occurred because women of a certain age weren't finding mates, and thus reproductive ability was unnecessary for them.
Yet Singh pointed out that if women long ago had been the ones choosing younger mates, older men would have been the ones losing their fertility, not women.
The process of natural selection favors the most fit, so women who are most likely to reproduce are protected, explained Singh. Natural selection is the gradual, non-random process through which biological traits become either more or less common, due to the way reproduction occurs, Singh explained.
The researchers used computational models and computer simulations to show how male mating preference for younger females could increase the number of mutations that stopped women's reproductive ability, creating menopause.
Singh said his research suggests that it might be possible for women who delay childbearing to also postpone menopause, allowing them to have a longer window in which to conceive. "We might be able to extend the time period in which you can have children, rather than rush it," he said.
Lynnette Leidy Sievert, a biological anthropologist and a professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, raised questions about the study.
"The study showed that by the age of 50 or 60, 50 percent of the population was still living, but that just doesn't match what we know about human evolution," she said. "By the age of 50, the skeletal evidence shows that only 10 percent of Neanderthals lived beyond 50. Our own homo sapiens [humans] had about 17 percent living past the age of 40."
Sievert, a member of the board of trustees of the North American Menopause Society, also questioned whether the concept of men mating with younger women fully explains menopause.
"Because it's a human and mammalian pattern for men to die younger [than women], you have a younger female with an older male who is going to die," she explained. "I get mixed up about how that pulls a woman's lifespan across menopause."
Singh said he's planning to do more simulations based on a Canadian long-term study of aging that is following 50,000 men and women. He is interested in learning more about the relationship between menopause, reproduction and genetic markers. "I really want to see if you can do something to delay menopause," he explained.

TAUNTON — From the creators of "Fun-de-Mental" comes a sequel production. For two nights only Rogue Theatre Company presents "The Bonds of Marriage," an evening of magic, illusions and the amusement of marriage. Featuring magician Adam Bond, and his wife, actress Victoria Bond, and directed by John Beausoleil, the show will take place on Friday, June 27 and Saturday, June 28 at the Roseland Ballroom function hall, located at 174 Broadway, behind Hong Kong City Restaurant on Rte. 138 in Taunton.
Beginning at 7 p.m. there will be a cash bar and an optional Chinese buffet offered by Hong Kong City for $12 per person. The show will begin at 8 on both evenings. Tickets are $20 general admission and $18 for seniors and students, with table seating cabaret style. Tickets may be purchased with credit cards online at www.roguetheatrecompany.com, or reservations may be made by calling or texting Rogue Box Office at 508-431-3376.
"The Bonds of Marriage" reunites the team who created "Fun-de-Mental," the unique Rogue magic and mentalism production which featured the talents of The Bonds, and was directed by John Beausoleil. This new production will focus on relationships, using the love story between Adam Bond, an attorney who enjoys magic, and his wife Victoria Bond, an accomplished actress, performer and director, who have been partners in life for many years. The show takes the audience on a journey through their relationship, and perhaps will shed light and humor on others. The show uses magic and comedy to tell the story of the not always so calm relationships between couples, including that initial meeting, dating, falling in love, getting engaged and married, and bringing children into the world.
"Come share a few tricks and some laughs at the love relationships we find ourselves in as people in our search for companionship," said a spokesperson.
Sound and lights are provided by W. W. Lighting of Raynham. A silent and a Chinese auction with many items from local donors gathered by auction coordinator Donald DuBois with be available to bid on.

Nonito Donaire: One might be tempted to dismiss Donaire's performance against Jeffrey Mathebula on Saturday as so-so because he struggled to find his target much of the fight and failed to put him away. The fact is Donaire (29-1, 18 knockouts) did an excellent job in difficult circumstances. The 5-foot-11 Mathebula is a nightmare of an opponent, one with in impossibly long jab – designed to keep his foe at bay – and more all-around ability than might be obvious at first glance. Donaire had to work extremely hard – bobbing, weaving, leaping – to get inside Mathebula's defense and do damage. That he succeeded more than enough to win a one-sided decision and unify the WBO and IBF junior featherweight titles was an impressive accomplishment. Donaire is more than ready for anyone in or near his weight class.
Jeffrey Mathebula: The South African did better than the scores would indicate, scoring regularly with his long jab and at times with his power hand and making himself difficult target to hit. Once again, we shouldn't attach too much significance to CompuBox stats but they have some meaning. Consider: Mathebula (26-4-2, 14 KOs) threw more than 400 punches than Donaire (919-515) and landed 80 more (231-151). And the power punches were comparable: 91 of 308 for Mathebula and 102 of 261 for Donaire. I believe Donaire won the fight because his power punches were more powerful and eye-catching but Mathebula was a riddle who wasn't easily solved. He also proved that he's tough, rising from a nasty knockdown to remain competitive. He deserved more credit than he received after the fight.
Kelly Pavlik's victory: Pavlik (40-2, 34 KOs) got the job done against capable Will Rosinsky (16-2, 9 KOs) on the Donaire-Mathebula undercard Saturday, winning a one-sided decision in a 10-round super middleweight fight. It was his third consecutive victory since returning the ring full time. The former middleweight champion did little to suggest he is ready for the top 168-pounders, though. He fought aggressively and was fairly busy – landing 227 of 661 punches – but landed precious few punches that stood out, the exception being a short right that put Rosinsky down in the second. Pavlik also took more solid shots than one might've expected, although Rosinsky probably is somewhat underrated. Afterward, Pavlik said he wants to face the likes of Lucian Bute, Carl Froch, Mikkel Kessler and Andre Ward. Nothing we saw on Saturday would suggest he's ready for such a challenge.
Wladimir Klitschko: Same old story. Klitschko, who stopped Tony Thompson in six rounds Saturday in Switzerland, now has made 12 consecutive successful title defenses. That's third all time among heavyweights behind Joe Louis (25) and Larry Holmes (20). Klitschko (58-3, 51 KOs) also made five successful defenses during his first run as a titleholder, giving him 17 overall. Those are remarkable numbers. The big Ukrainian is about as unbeatable as a fighter can be, particularly in light of the relatively weak state of the division. Klitschko will be remembered as a very good heavyweight and reach the International Boxing Hall of Fame on the first ballot but he'll always be dogged by the fact that he never even faced a Hall of Fame-caliber heavyweight. Still, he is the most-accomplished big man of his era. And that's saying something.
Tony Thompson: Thompson (36-3, 24 KOs) looked like a 40-year-old who hadn't been in the ring in more than year, which was the case on Saturday. The Washington, D.C., fighter, who had gone 10-plus rounds with Klitschko in 2008, showed some defensive ability but fought tentatively and offered very little in the way of offense. In other words, he ended up like the rest of Klitschko's recent opponents: ill-equipped to cope with the world champion's imposing ability and firepower. Of course, no one outside of Thompson's camp expected him to win. However, Thompson came in with a decent performance in their first fight, has considerable experience and is almost as tall as Klitschko. Thus, we had some hope – however minimal – that he might put up some resistance. Alas, nothing.
Brook vs. Jones: Carson Jones (34-9-2, 24 KOs) should never have been seen as a pushover going into his fight against Kell Brook on Saturday in England. Still, in light of Brook's rapid ascent, we expected a clear victory for the Briton. Instead, we got a war from which Brook was lucky to escape with a stunning majority-decision nod. Brook, who apparently had trouble making weight, acknowedged afterward that he needs to push himself harder in training. That could explain why he seemed to fade after a strong start. The good news is that Brook (28-0, 18 KOs) survived a test of his mettle, which included a broken nose in the seventh or eighth round, to pull out a victory. The bad news is that he probably shouldn't been in that position in the first place. Is Brook ready for the best 147-pounders? Maybe … and maybe not.
Javier Fortuna: One could understand on Friday why so many people are excited about the junior lightweight from the Dominican Republic. Fortuna (20-0, 15 KOs) blasted out Cristobal Cruz (39-14-3, 23 KOs) in two rounds in Las Vegas, putting the Mexican down twice in the process. We knew about Fortuna's fire and explosiveness, as well as his punching power. The most impressive aspect of his performance was the caliber of his victim, a tough, clever veteran who hadn't been stopped in 10 years. That includes two fights against Orlando Salido and other top-tier opponents who couldn't put Cruz away. It's too early to label Fortuna a star; he's only beginning to make his mark against recognizable opponents at 22. However, all the variables seem to be in place. This guy is definitely one to watch.
Kell Brook, to ESPN.co.uk: "It was a tough fight but I came through it and got the result after 12 hard rounds. I think the nose is broken and it affected me. I was tired halfway through. I think I got the diet right but I need to get top men involved so I can sustain it through the whole fight. Things need to be addressed. I'll come back stronger."

CBS - The 21-year-old singer's May 2 date in Amsterdam and May 4 appearance in Antwerp, Belgium, on her Bangerz tour have been pushed back to June.
"Cyrus is continuing to recover from the severe allergic reaction she suffered on April 15. After a period of improvement, Cyrus' symptoms have returned and doctors will not permit her to travel," a news release said Wednesday. "This type of extreme reaction can last up to 27 days and Cyrus must remain under a doctor's care at this time."
Cyrus was forced to postpone her U.S. tour until August after treatment for a sinus infection went awry, but expected to be able to keep her European tour on track. The news release says Cyrus still expects to make her London appearance on May 6 as planned. The Antwerp show has been rescheduled for June 20 and the Amsterdam concert will be held June 22.

This image was taken of a forlorn mother with her child on the weekly market day in Bac Ha, Vietnam. The look on their faces and the child's tattered clothing tell a powerful story. I was lucky enough to watch her make a sale of turnips later on in the day, and thankfully her worry turned to elation as she could then feed her children.

Nadal defends his crown
Roger was not able to defeat Rafael Nadal in the Monte Carlo Masters final, losing a tough fight 2-6 7-6 (7-2) 3-6 6-7 (5-7).
The Spanish second seed took the first set after racing to a 5-1 lead, but Roger found his form in the second. Nadal still broke him to love in the seventh game before his nerve wobbled, allowing the Swiss star to break back for 5-5 and then win the tiebreaker. But Nadal showed why he is the world's best on clay in the third set, then edged a tense fourth to seal victory.
Roger looked to have extended an epic final into a fifth set when he took a 3-0 lead in the second tiebreaker. But the 19-year-old Spaniard fought back as the shadows lengthened on court at the Monte Carlo Country Club. A forehand winner on his first match point finally sealed victory and his 14th career title after three hours and 49 minutes of thrilling tennis.
"It was a very unbelievable day for me," said Nadal. "It's special to begin the clay season like this.
Beating Roger in the final is even more special, it's great."
Roger, who had never progressed past the quarter-finals in Monaco before this year, admitted: "Rafael played a great match, it was tough to lose." Nadal had also inflicted the world number one's only other defeat of 2006, beating him in the final of the hardcourt Dubai Open on 4 March.
Roger also lost to Nadal in the semi-finals of last year's French Open, the only grand slam tournament he has yet to win. "I played a smarter match today than last year's Paris semi-final," Roger added. "I have moved closer to him on clay and that's very important."
Nadal now has a 4-1 record against the Swiss world number one, and has chalked up a remarkable 42 successive wins on clay. The left-hander is third on the all-time list behind Guillermo Vilas (53) and Bjorn Borg (46).
Best wishes! I hope see you soon play! This inspires
Regarding beating Nadal on clay courts, it is irrelevant to watch Blake vs Nadal matches because Blake has never played against Nadal on clay court.
There is really no easy way to beat Nadal on clay courts.
I only watched you playing in Monte Carlo final for the first three sets.
And this is the first time I watched you playing against Nadal.
Since I am one of your fans, it is too much for me to see you losing.
Therefore I went to sleep.
its sad to see roger got beaten again.But we know nadal is a kind of ambidextrous(who has almost same power in both hands) person.Its always difficult to beat them,since they r mentally tougher than monodextrous person(because they have con
In two matches, Nadal has taken o
I am sure you can do it...even is not in the next game but i know you will one day raise up the French
I read one story today that said something along the lines of, with 5 matches against him, and all the tape in the world to look at, if F

Is the News Really All That Bad in the Supreme Court's Decision Concerning Mixed-Motive Evidence in Employment Cases?
April, 2003
Circumstantial evidence alone is enough to win. Recently the United States Supreme Court so held, finding that plaintiff employees in "mixed-motive" employment discrimination cases do not have to present "direct evidence." Instead, the Court ruled that employees can prove their case through inferences drawn from the totality of the employer's conduct (i.e. circumstantial evidence). Desert Palace, Inc. v. Catharina Costa, 123 S. Ct. 2148 (U.S.)
"Mixed-motive" cases are where, for example, the employee says discipline, demotion or termination occurred because of discrimination and the employer says it was because of poor performance. "Direct evidence" consists of first hand witness testimony, documents or conduct by the employer which prove specific discriminatory hostility (animus). Following is a review of Desert Palace, commentary and practice tips for future application.
Plaintiff Catharina Costa was the only female warehouse worker and heavy equipment operator at Caesar's Palace Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. She also was the only female in her local Teamster's Bargaining Unit. She had had a number of problems with management and co-workers that led to escalating disciplinary actions against her including informal corrections, denial of privileges, and suspension. Ultimately, she was terminated as a result of an altercation with a male co-worker on an elevator. The male worker was given a 5-day suspension; he had a clean disciplinary record before the incident. Thereafter, Costa filed a federal complaint for sex discrimination and sexual harassment. The district court dismissed the sexual harassment claim, but allowed the sex discrimination claim to go to the jury.
At trial, Costa presented evidence that (1) she was singled out for "intense 'stalking'" by one of her supervisors; (2) she received harsher discipline than men for the same conduct; (3) she was treated less favorably than men in the assignment of overtime; and (4) supervisors repeatedly "stack[ed]" her disciplinary record and "frequently used or tolerated" sex-based slurs against her. Costa's employer contended that she was no stranger to poor performance and had been disciplined on a number of previous occasions (presenting a classic mixed-motive case).
The district court instructed the jury that if it found discrimination by a preponderance of the evidence, damages could be awarded unless the employer has also shown, by a preponderance of evidence, that it would have terminated Costa anyway for non-discriminatory reasons. The employer objected to the instruction because the plaintiff allegedly had not submitted any "direct evidence" of discrimination to the jury. A full panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals en banc upheld the challenged jury instruction, and the employer appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
In a relatively short, but perhaps far reaching opinion, the United States Supreme Court noted that this was its first opportunity to interpret the 1991 amendments to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 on the issue of what evidence a plaintiff would have to present in order to be successful on a mixed-motive discrimination claim. Previously, there had been a split among the Federal Circuit courts. The First, Fourth, Eighth and Eleventh Circuit had held that a plaintiff in a mixed-motive discrimination claim must present "direct evidence" of discrimination. As stated, the Ninth Circuit had concluded that circumstantial evidence was sufficient.
The Supreme Court's analysis began with the 1991 Amendments to the Civil Rights Act. The 1991 Amendments set the standard for proof in "mixed-motive" cases. The Court observed that the 1991 Amendments simply state that the plaintiff must "demonstrat[e]" discrimination. They do not indicate that the plaintiff has to do so by using direct evidence. The Court reasoned that if Congress had wanted to raise the bar on the level of evidence necessary, it would have done so specifically. The Court also pointed to other statutes where Congress specifically had spelled out that the standard of proof was higher. Thus, absent unequivocal instruction from Congress, the Court concluded that a plaintiff in a mixed-motive discrimination claim can successfully prove his or her case through the use of circumstantial evidence.
Some commentators have stated that the Court's decision will make it easier for plaintiffs to win by lowering the bar on the level of evidence necessary. They also believe that plaintiffs will be more inclined to file mixed-motive cases. However, General Counsel for the Washington based Equal Employment Opportunity Advisory Council has stated that while perhaps it may be easier for an employee to prove their claim of discrimination, jurors will have an opportunity to "split the baby," i.e. find discrimination for the plaintiff, but then not award damages against the employer where the employer shows that it would have terminated the employee anyway. That observation stays true to the statutory language. Under the 1991 Amendments, in a mixed-motive case, if an employee establishes that he or she has suffered an adverse employment action due to discrimination, the employer can raise as an affirmative defense that the employee would have been terminated anyway because of non-discriminatory reasons, such as bad performance or discipline problems. If the employer successfully establishes this alternative reason by a preponderance of the evidence, the statute provides that a jury may award only declaratory and injunctive relief and attorney's fees, and shall not award monetary damages such as pay nor grant reinstatement. Further, there is nothing in the Supreme Court's decision which creates a future bar to employer success on summary judgment before trial. Courts that are open to summary judgment very likely will continue to be so, while courts that are disinclined to grant summary judgment may find more support for their disinclination in this decision.
It is much too early to ring the death knell on employers in mixed-motive cases for another reason as well. Plaintiffs still will have to meet their burden of a preponderance of the evidence. Jurors scrutinize circumstantial evidence for credibility as much as they do direct evidence. Circumstantial evidence must make sense and sound true to a jury. The Supreme Court's decision only puts mixed-motive discrimination cases on the same level as other civil litigation.
Back to the ultimate question, will the Court's decision cause plaintiffs to bring mixed-motive cases? Perhaps not. Remember that in mixed-motive cases, if the employer proves a lawful reason for the termination, the employee does not get monetary damages.
Practice Pointers:
If there is a word of caution for employers here, it is to go back to basics. Once again:
- When there is a performance or disciplinary problem, act on it. That is, take the proper disciplinary action immediately. It may leave less of an inference to jurors that subsequent action was for a discriminatory reason.
- Have the corrective action witnessed by another individual.
- Remind supervisors and managers to document performance and discipline problems, contemporaneously.

This Town Has A Serious Problem
Murdertone is a town with a problem. They're not overly concerned with the zombie apocalypse or the state of the economy. They worry about the important things like popularity
hehe… a nice comic you have here! congratz!
the daily zombie art is just that… art, especially liked the self portrait! keep up the good work
I like his slogan. Although, what would make Mudertone a tourist attraction is if they had a respawn system like in video games.
They ought to try Eric the Red's style of marketing and change the name to something pleasant like Sunnydale.
From what I understood from Buffy, that was pretty much what happened there.
All they need to do is get Hollywood to make a slasher there. The tourist industry would boom! …The only problem is, keeping the crew and cast alive long enough to make the film.
If you need help with English, please let me know.
I've found some minor flaws that make the difference between a great comic and an "Okay" comic.
Example: Panel 2… "Oh we do. We also sale masks and fake I.D.'s"
Perfect English: "Oh, but we do: we also SELL masks and fake ID's"
Really? Really? You hater! Why don't you take your curs-ed englitch and sale it to someone witht he time to care. Were in Murdertone here people, stop corectin' how I spelt stuff and RUNNN!
Is it bad that the word Englitch is the first time in that that I deliberatly miss spelt something?

Welcome to the Slavic Village Historical Society
About Us . . .
After 10 years of operation, The Slavic Village Historical Society has vacated its former home in the historic Brilla House at Mill Creek Falls.
Through the cooperation of the Slavic Village Development Corporation, we have secured office space in their building at 5620 Broadway Avenue, Suite 200. All displays and historical materials have been moved there for storage until such time as a new home may be found. Please contact us for an appointment.
Certified by the State of Ohio as a public non-profit organization on July 12, 1995, we will continue to serve Cleveland's Slavic Village and Broadway-East 55th neighborhoods.
Our mission is "to instill and increase the historical knowledge of the area known as Slavic Village and its adjacent communities." To carry out this mission, the SVHS has conducted neighborhood tours and given presentations to area organizations. A major goal is to preserve the history of Newburgh Township with an emphasis on those areas of Cleveland which once comprised its old 14th and 18th wards.
The Slavic Village neighborhood continues to lose historic buildings as a result of the recent economic downturn. As an organization devoted to preserving history, we document as much of this historic loss as possible. Our website now features YouTube video links to several recent domolitions, accessible from the Photo Gallery link in the left pane. More will be added in coming weeks. Please contact us if you wish to share any of your personal video documentation of the loss of our historic past.
Our Arcadia book, Cleveland's Slavic Village, published in 2009, is available in bookstores and online through Amazon.com.

Yesterday was the end of our 10-day visit with Gramma (my mom), or Granny as I'd call her when she was lagging behind. 😉 She flew in on Monday, March 24 to spend time with us and meet her newest grandson, Oliver. It was a fun visit and although we didn't do all the things I think she wanted, we did do a few things. And as I was lamenting the things we didn't get to do, I remembered my mom's words:
"When there's a baby involved, you don't have a lot of control over your schedule."
Despite how fast the 10 days went, we got to spend a lot of time together and managed to do some fun things.
On Friday, we went to the Los Angeles Zoo. When Mom suggested it, I replied, "I'm not sure Oliver is old enough to appreciate the zoo," to which she replied, "I didn't want to go for Oliver; I've never been there and would like to see it!"
Well, alrighty then. So off to the Los Angeles Zoo it was.
(Note to self: Don't let Mom navigate!😉 )
Of particular interest to Mom was the Gorilla Exhibit, which was really amazing. Unfortunately the gorillas were very far away (which was good because they were HUGE!), so there weren't any good photo opportunities.
We did get to see this cute guy hanging around.
We got to see the sea lions (I think they were sea lions, but they may have been seals) do tricks after the trainers entered their compound. It was really neat to see them doing jumps and other tricks.
This poor guy (or girl) looked so bored (he/she was pacing back and forth) and hot (it was a very warm day).
Anyone remember that game Hungry, Hungry Hippos?
I was thinking about picking up a flamingo for the front lawn, but the smell was horrendous!😉
Saturday we went to our friends in the Hollywood Hills for a late lunch. Then Sunday was spent enjoying a wonder lunch prepared by a dear friend in her beautiful apartment on the beach in Santa Monica.
Tuesday we visited Nelly, the mom of my dear friend Vanesa, who is going to be babysitting Oliver while we're at work. She and Oliver hit it off, as did Oliver and Jasmine, the 16-month-old she also cares for.
I don't remember what else we did while she was here, but we did get in some good food (well, I thought it was good. Mom complained that her system was acting up from all the 'strange' food. Harumph!). While she was here she got to try Greek, Persian, Thai, and Indian!
Wednesday was spent taking Oliver for his 4 month check-up. Poor little guy got his immunizations (and still has the hard lumps on his thighs to prove it!) as well as having some blood drawn for a couple of tests.
I'm not sure who cried harder during that ordeal: Oliver, me, or Mom! And of course the poor nurse didn't have any luck when she tried the left vein in his elbow, so we ended up having to change arms. Man, what an awful experience!
During the 10 days that she was here, Mom and Oliver really hit it off and I could tell that she was very proud and fond of her newest grandson.

I could easily get used to owning the following:
1) I actually just ordered this concealer from Sephora (along with my favorite blush in the entire world). The ingredients in both products aren't the absolute best, but they certainly aren't the worst. Also, I'm not one to cover blemishes with concealer (clogging pores to cover blemishes seems counterproductive), but I cannot wait to say goodbye to my morning time sleepy undereyes. Spending sixty dollars never felt so good.
2) These totes are adorable, and we can always use more grocery-getting bags!
3) I've seen this little guy countless times while checking out at Walmart and am always drawn in by the cute and interesting shape. I plan on buying a Smooth Sphere in sweet mint when I run out of my current chapstick.
4) Danielle already has a KitchenAid Stand Mixer, and this citrus juicer attachment would make juicing grapefruits, oranges, lemons, and limes a much easier task. No more balancing the handheld juicer on a coffee cup!
5) I'd love nothing more than to fill my bathroom cabinet with these beautiful organic cotton towels.

Westmont Polo National Champs teach reporter to play 'The Sport of Kings'
Westmont Polo team wins title, first for West Coast school since 1986
Polo is called "The Sport of Kings" and Westmont College players are the kings of the college ranks.
Westmont won the Polo NCAA National Championship earlier this year, which is is a rare feat for a west coast school.
"The last time was 1986 when a West Coast team actually won and it just feels awesome to bring it to Westmont," team captain Patrick Uretz said.
The champs invited NewsChannel 3 reporter Joe Buttitta to the polo grounds for a lesson. Westmont players showed a very nervous reporter how to get on the animal and then a little polo.
"I had never been on a horse before so I was a little worried," Joe said. "But after a couple minutes and a very calm horse we ended up having a blast!"

Hello everyone. This is my first post on IxDA. :) I've been
developing web applications for a few years now, and usability has
always been a priority, but I have only really started obessesing
about usability in the last year or so.
A colleague and I had a discussion about the maximum number of
elements that should be used in a (select) dropdown menu on a web
He thinks that fifteen is the maximum. Me? I'm not quite sure what
to think.
Hi there
Can anyone point me in the direction of sample security questions that could
be used to verify a user's identity if they don't have an email address and
have forgotten a password? EG Mother's maiden name, first school etc etc.
I think best practice would be to let a users set the question themselves,
but in this case we need to offer a set of questions for the user to choose
Thanks for the tips,

I had group b strep with my last 2 boys,they say they dont need too test you after you have had it in 1 pregnancy as you will automatically be treated again if you have a normal birth,this time im having a section so was told i dont need anti`s as the baby will not be coming out the normal way so wont be infected as the infection stays down below.
Just make sure the hospital know you have had group b strep and that you need the antibiotics whilst in labour or straight after the birth.
Everything should be fine hun,goodluck.
