How many of you remember Skecher's Shape-ups? Those are one of the four "toning shoes" that Skechers USA heavily advertised to make individuals believe they could lose weight and get into shape by simply wearing the shoes. Joe Montana, Brooke Burke, and Kim Kardashian are among the celebrities who helped advocate the idea that these shoes actually helped consumers lose weight. Only a few people I know can actually look amazing and stay fit without breaking a sweat at the gym… and it's not those people who wear Shape ups!
Skechers USA's Unfounded Claims Regarding their "Toning" Shoes:
It has come to light that Skechers USA's claims that "its toning shoes would help people lose weight, build muscle and get in shape" were unfounded. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) called Skechers out on their bogus claims, and charged Skechers for misleading consumers.
Skechers Settles FTC's charges against them:
According to news sources, Skechers USA has agreed to pay $40 million in a settlement with the FTC. This penalty will help "provide refunds to people who bought Skechers toning shoes."
Line of Skechers Shoes that Are Included in the Skechers Settlement Refund:
- Shape-ups
- Resistance Runner
- Toners
- Tone-ups
Additional Information:
According to the Federal Trade Commission, consumers who bought the shoes are eligible for a refund.
For additional information, consumers may contact FTC's Skechers Hotline at 866-325-4186.

Have any of you purchased these "toning" shoes? What was your experience with them?

Having a lifelong interest in health and wellbeing and through his success as a publisher, J.I. Rodale's message popularised the organic movement in America.
During the depression, the Rodale family moved their manufacturing business from New York City to Pennsylvania. Here, the opportunity arose to establish the Rodale Press.
During World War II, the shortage of nitrogen exposed the nutrient poverty of the nation's soil. In 1940, J.I. Rodale and his wife Anna purchased a 60-acre farm. The primary goal was to develop and demonstrate practical methods of rebuilding natural soil fertility.
By 1942, he published the magazine Organic Gardening. Thereafter, in 1950, Prevention was published to encourage people to avoid illness by being proactive and using preventative measures to lead a healthy life.

>Hi All,
>I have a question with some X stuff doesn't work after pthread_cancel.
>First question: are those Xlib functions cancellation point? My guess

>So the solution is to guard those Xlib/Xt function calls against

>an example traceback (on Solaris 8 w/ X11R6):
Library calls must not be cancelled asynchronously. In your example,
you have a mutex that is not freed as the outward indication. You
might be able to figure out how to free it, but that would still leave
the data that it is protecting in an indeterminant state.
You might be able to avoid this by holding all three X locks
(XLockDisplay, XtAppLock, XtProcessLock) when you do the cancel, but a
far better solution is to re-engineer the code to not attempt the
asynchronous cancellation.
This is not just a problem with X -- you will have similar failures
with libc and others, even if they are advertised as thread safe.

- If you are planning on visiting the museum please call ahead to confirm the Complex is open. The Curator may unexpectedly be called away from the Complex.
The Museum and Research Center are dedicated to the preservation of the stories and artifacts of those who were part of the Orphan Train Movement from 1854-1929.
The mission of the National Orphan Train Complex is to collect, preserve, interpret, and disseminate knowledge about the orphan trains, and the children and agents who rode them. The museum's collections, exhibitions, programming and research will engage riders, researchers, and the general public and create an awareness of the Orphan Train Movement.
Congratulations to Colleen Bradford Krantz and Clark Kidder on their 2015 Upper Midwest Emmy Award!
The film, West by Orphan Train, is based on Kidder's book titled Emily's Story: The Brave Journey of an Orphan Train Rider, which chronicles the life of his paternal grandmother, Emily (Reese) Kidder, who was placed on an orphan train in New York City that was bound for the Midwest in 1906. She was one of an estimated 250,000 American children relocated by the Orphan Train Movement (1854-1929). Emily married Earl Kidder of Edgerton, WI, and they farmed in the area during their seventy-four years of marriage. The film's official website is at www.westbyorphantrain.com.
Clark Kidder is a member of our Speaker's Bureau and will be the Keynote Speaker at the 2016 Orphan Train Celebration.

Court-appointed attorneys Renee Manes and Richard Wolf confirmed in phone interviews that they are again representing David "Joey" Pedersen.
Pedersen, 32, and Holly Ann Grigsby, 28, are awaiting trial on federal charges of kidnapping, carjacking and murder. They are accused of killing a man on the Oregon coast and another in Northern California.
Pedersen previously pleaded guilty to murder in the slaying of his father and stepmother in Everett, Wash.
Prosecutors say the 2011 killing spree was part of a white supremacist campaign to purify and preserve the white race. Pedersen has a tattoo of a swastika on his chest and an image of Adolph Hitler on his stomach. The blue initials "SWP," for Supreme White Power, are on his neck.
U.S. District Judge Ancer Haggerty agreed in January to let Pedersen serve as his own lawyer. It is unknown why Pedersen rejected the attorneys and what led to his change of heart.
Wolf said he and Manes—despite their on-again, off-again status as Pedersen's lawyers—have not sought a delay in the trial scheduled for July 7.
Grigsby's legal team, however, asked Haggerty to postpone the joint trial until late September or early October.
Kathleen M. Correll said in court papers filed Friday that she and Grigsby's other lawyer need time to digest a large set of discovery material that's only now being released by Oregon State Police. Moreover, U.S. Attorney Amanda Marshall alerted them that additional significant discovery may also be forthcoming from the FBI.
Grigsby and Pedersen were arrested in October 2011 outside Yuba City, Calif. Attorney General Eric Holder decided last month not to seek the death penalty.

Political Prophylactics
It was an ominous warning affixed to the plastic-covered condom, which was glued on a rust-colored postcard with pictures of dirty mattresses: "Practice Safe Politics."
Below, a glaring surgeon general-like admonition: "Warning: This condom will not protect you from the real intentions of the Christian right wing. Abstinence from strange bedfellows is advised."
The guerrilla campaign is sponsored by www.jewishwomenwatching.com, an organization that "aims to rouse the public to challenge and change the sexist and other discriminatory practices in the American Jewish community," according to their Web site. "We use biting satire and real-life facts to criticize our community's narrow-minded priorities. Jewish Women Watching remains anonymous to focus attention on the issues -- not ourselves."
Under the headline "Strange Bedfellows," the flip side of the postcard asks, "Why is the Jewish community in bed with Pat Roberston ... Jerry Falwell ... Ralph Reed?" At the same time it outs the Zionist Organization of America, the Israeli Embassy and the Anti-Defamation League for "sleeping" with them.
The clandestine group has enacted other campaigns, primarily on Purim and during the High Holidays. In September 2001, they placed a deceptively familiar ad in The New York Times meant to mimic Chabad Lubavitch's ads regarding lighting candles. "Jewish Women and Girls," began the ad, using the same Chabad words, "Hold your community accountable. Sexism is a Sin. Jewish Women Watching," read the rest of the ad.
"We will continue to protest the patronizing, sexist attitudes we encounter in the Jewish community every day," the anonymous Jewish Women Watching leader wrote to The Jewish Week in an interview last year.

Traveling coast to coast by train is no easy trip today. But back in 1874, just 5 years after the first transcontinental rail linkup, the journey was a downright arduous expedition especially when tending 35,000 shad fry. For Dr. Livingston Stone of the U.S. Fish Commission (a forerunner of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), the trip was also a unique challenge. His job was to get the fish fry to California safe and sound for planting in the Sacramento River and other Pacific coastal streams. (Click on the booklet cover to view the entire PDF).

WILLIAMSTOWN - The Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport will have a new manager with the new year following the hiring of a board member for the position.
Vienna resident Jeff McDougle, 57, accepted the position on Friday after he was chosen by a joint committee comprised of members from both the marketing arm (Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport Authority) and managing arm (Wood County Airport Authority).
He will officially take the job when manager Terry Moore retires in January.
"I was not really surprised when they offered (the position) to me," McDougle said. "Terry and I had talked when he first brought up retiring and I put a lot of thought into my decision to apply and I think I will do a good job for the airport and the community."
McDougle joined both airport boards - he previously served as president of the MOV board and currently serves as treasurer of the Wood County Airport Authority - in 2009 when he moved back to the area following years of living in the Chicago area working for transportation corporations.
Although his last job was working for now defunct school bus corporation Laidlaw International as the treasurer, McDougle previously held top positions with three major airlines.
Fact Box
At a glance
- The Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport will have a new manager in the new year after a joint committee of both boards chose the replacement for the current manager.
- Vienna resident Jeff McDougle has been a member of both the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport and Wood County authorities since 2009.
- McDougle voiced his interest in the position as soon as manager Terry Moore announced his planned retirement earlier this year.
- McDougle will spend the next two months shadowing Moore to learn more about the facility's day-to-day operations before he officially fills the position on Jan. 2, 2014.
"Most of my work was in finance, but I also was in charge of fuel purchasing with one position," he said. "With fuel sales being the main source of income for the airport, it helps for me to know how that works."
For eight years, McDougle worked for United Airlines before he spent four years with Northwest Airlines and moved on to be the vice president of finance and treasurer for US Airways for six years.
"With my history and knowledge of the airline industry as well as finance, I believe I have a strong foundation to serve the airport well," he said.
Moore said he plans to work closely with McDougle in the next two months to make sure he is as prepared as possible for his new job.
"My plans are to make Jeff as familiar with the airport and as many things and projects that we have going on as possible," Moore said. "I would like him to not be surprised by anything when I walk out the door."
Because McDougle has been part of the airport for several years, Moore said he and the boards' members are pleased he accepted the position.
"I am certainly happy with Jeff. He has been sitting on the airport board for a few years and because of his knowledge, you knew he would not be surprised by anything going on," Moore said.
McDougle and four other candidates were interviewed on Oct. 10 by members of the personnel committee and he was approved following a closed-door meeting by his fellow Wood County Airport Authority members Bill Richardson, John Pfalzgraf and Tim Flinn.
McDougle removed himself from discussions regarding the job when Moore announced his retirement plans in August 2012. Wood County Commission representative Wayne Dunn is not a voting member of the authority.
Moore said the board received nine application packets with eight of those candidates being from the area.
"We were very impressed by the level of talent we have here," he said. "They all had strengths in different areas, which made the decision a little more difficult for the board."
When he takes over the manager's office on Jan. 2, 2014, McDougle said he wants to build the momentum of the growing commercial air service as well as look further into the possibility of attracting a leisure travel airline, such as Allegiant Air, to better serve those in the community.
"Because the airport is so important to attracting businesses to the airport, I want to help grow the airport to build the Mid-Ohio Valley," McDougle said. "At the end of the day, it's about the community and building to make things better."

DistributionAptostichus hedinorum is known from Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in San Diego County within the Colorado Desert (Map 21). Male specimens have been collected during October. Female burrows can often be found in sandy banks and washes during the winter months when individuals excavate and presumably extend their burrows, creating a telltale mound at the burrow entrance.

Carole Samaha is back on her feet again
"Finally on my Feet again after 3 months of suffering..thank u Doctor Amer Abdallah & phisiotherapist Michel Jeanian," Carole Samaha Tweeted, along with pictoral proof that she is finally able walk on her own two feet again.
The songstress' big fall plans had to be put on hold after a hip infection forced her to take it easy until she fully recovered. She was put on bed rest for awhile, after which she was only able to move around with the aid of a walker.
Her lack of mobility didn't stop her from still being awarded for her accomplishments. The World Music Awards nominated her for "Best Female Artist" next to competitors Elissa, Haifa Wehbe, Maya Diab, Myriam Fares, Nancy Ajram, Samira Said, Sherine and Yara, and Assala.
Now that she's fully in motion, we can only expect she'll soon be unleashing all the creativity and musical prowress that's been stifled due to her sickness these past months!
"Thankx God im back to my normal Life, yet im still doing my daily physiotherapy sessions, getting myself ready for the coming weeks :))))," she also Tweeted.

"Vampire Diaries" Alum Confirmed to Play Savitar on "The Flash" S3
Comic Books, TV
The debut of Frank Miller's cover for the minicomic accompanying Dark Knight III: The Master Race #1 was greeted Monday with a mixture of confusion and criticism, as many fans tried to figure out what happened to the legendary artist. "DC Lets Frank Miller Draw Superman's Penis For Dark Knight III," reads the headline on io9.com.
But as the jokes flew on social media, Astro City writer Kurt Busiek stepped up with an alternate view: that Miller, revered for his work on Daredevil, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One, knows precisely what he's doing.
Ahead of the debut of the Man of Steel's new power and costume in Wednesday's Superman #38, DC Comics has released a graphic charting the history of his abilities, from super-speed to flight to, now, super flare.
The conclusion of the "Men of Tomorrow" storyline by Geoff Johns, John Romita Jr. and Klaus Janson, the new issue apparently climaxes with the unleashing of what the writer calls "the most destructive power Superman has."
For their first issue of Superman, writer Geoff Johns, penciler John Romita Jr. and inker Klaus Janson (with colorist Laura Martin and letterer Sal Cipriani) have served up an intriguing blend of action and introspection. There are the requisite nods to semi-obscure (Titano!) and really obscure (J. Wilbur Wolfingham?) Superman minutiae, and one subplot seems destined to undo a New 52 development. However, while Issue 32 of Superman Vol. 3 is concerned with managing the Man of Steel's status quo, a good bit of it revolves around the new character(s) that will apparently drive this story arc.
Accordingly, the issue doesn't feel quite so much like the start of a bold new era (although it could well be); instead, the new creative team uses the issue to ease into its story, such that the action serves the character work. Considering that almost half of the issue involves fight scenes, that seems like an odd observation, but it's kind of an odd issue overall.
The question then becomes whether those characters — Superman included — are compelling enough to follow month in and month out. Last month, Johns told Comic Book Resources that readers should "[j]ust give us one issue and that's all. I think we'll earn your trust and your time and your investment in one issue because I really believe in this first issue and I really believe in what we're doing."
Whether Superman #32 meets that standard is therefore somewhat unclear. It lays out the characters and their concerns pretty broadly, and (somewhat like Johns' and Ivan Reis' Aquaman) it depends to a certain extent on answering reader frustrations. Still, on balance, it works. This is a very good issue of the New 52 Superman, with all that implies.
Read on for more, and as always …
"I do admit that I am surprised that the series has such a high profile still but, make no mistake, I'm very happy to be a part of it. I can't speak for Frank [Miller], but neither I nor anyone else in the DC office realized the impact of the books at that time. It would have been crazy to predict way back then. It's not unheard of to have a particular project garner a lot of attention in the moment, but it is unusual for a project to cast such a long shadow, to hold up so many years later. Dark Knight Returns was a hurricane. It was a force of nature that swept everyone up in its path, and I learned a lot from that experience. I'd love to work with Frank at least once more, whether it's for the 30th anniversary or something else, so this is my way of starting to put the offer out there. Let's go, Frank — it would be great fun!"
– inker Klaus Janson, reflecting on the legacy of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, which marks its 30th anniversary in 2016
Putting Geoff Johns (writer), John Romita Jr. (penciller), and Klaus Janson (inker) on Superman sends a strong message to the cape-comics marketplace. At its core, that message seems to be "we're not fooling around with the Man of Steel."
Whether clad in T-shirt or Kryptonian armor, Superman has been the face of the New 52, in good ways and bad, since the 2011 relaunch. A Johns-written, Jim Lee-drawn Superman was part of the first New 52 comic published, namely the first issue of Justice League. Therefore, it's eminently appropriate for one of DC's highest-profile writers to take on its flagship character in his eponymous series. Likewise, art by longtime Marvel stalwart JRJr and veteran inker Janson is also appropriate to Superman's central position in DC's superhero line.
However, Johns also comes to Superman with a certain set of expectations, starting with his anticipated tenure. Writer/artist George Pérez and finisher Jésus Merino kicked off the current series, but they didn't stay long; and for several months Superman struggled to find a consistent creative team. Incumbent writer Scott Lobdell came aboard with issue #13 and is scheduled to stay at least through April's issue #30. That's a year and a half, give or take a Villains Month, and it's allowed Lobdell to leave his mark on Superman's adventures. Moreover, Lobdell arrived about two-thirds of the way through Grant Morrison's run as Action Comics writer, so for about a year, Lobdell has at least offered some consistency while Action tried to lock in a creative team. Johns has just come off two years writing Aquaman — not to mention multi-year runs on Green Lantern, Action, Flash, JSA, and Teen Titans — so it's not unreasonable to think he's got at least a couple of years' worth of Superman in him.
Saga, Adventure Time, Jaime Hernandez and Parker: The Score were among the winners of the 2013 Harvey Awards, which were presented tonight in conjunction with the Baltimore Comic-Con. Saga was the night's big winner with six awards, as Fiona Staples took home awards for best artist and best colorist, and Brian K. Vaughan took home the award for best writer.
Also taking home an award tonight was this very blog, as Robot 6 won for best biographic, historical or journalistic presentation. Our fearless leader Kevin Melrose will likely have a few words to say about that in the days ahead, but for now I'll just say congratulations to the rest of the Robot 6 team — it's an honor to work with you guys.
Named in honor of the late Harvey Kurtzman, the cartoonist and founding editor of MAD magazine, the awards are selected entirely by creators. The full list of nominees can be found below, with the winners in bold and italics. Congratulations to all the winners:

Rick Remender has the unenviable task of following Ed Brubaker on Captain America, a book that Brubaker took to new heights during his seven-year run on the character. Based on the review so far, though, it seems that Remender is not only up to the task, he's taking Cap in a completely different direction, with a different tone and focus that most folks seem to be responding well to. Along with artists John Romita Jr. and Klaus Janson, Remender has sent Cap off to Dimension Z, for some "high adventure/science fiction" fun.
"It's a departure from the standard operating procedure of Captain America, definitely," said Romita. "We are in a different ballgame here. This is as far away from what I expected for Cap as you can get and I'm really enjoying this."
Here are a few reviews to let you know how different the ballgame is now, and how well the new team's doing in their first inning:
Ryan K. Lindsay, Comic Book Resources: "Captain America #1 from Rick Remender and John Romita Jr. with Klaus Janson doesn't so much walk away from Ed Brubaker's defining run on the character over the past seven years as it does leap frog it. There was obviously no point in trying to ape Brubaker at his A game, so instead Remender swerves Cap back toward his pulpier roots. This issue begins a strange tale that sees the Sentinel of Liberty fight the Green Skull and get embroiled with Arnim Zola in Dimension Z."

Brian Michael Bendis has debuted the first look at Bill Sienkiewicz's interior art from Daredevil: End of Days, the long-awaited Marvel miniseries that teams the writer and artist with David Mack and Klaus Janson to tell the final story of the Man Without Fear.
Announced more than five years ago, the tale is set in the not-too-distant future, and begins with Daredevil's murder. "It goes a little further than most of 'The End' stories," Bendis told Comic Book Resources in 2007. "And we make it canon. This is in-continuity, not too dissimilar to how Dark Knight Returns became continuity through sheer force of will. So we put it out there and everybody jumped."
Ahead of Comic-Con International, Marvel at last set an October debut for the miniseries, with Bendis explaining, ""Everyone who works on this book is working on several major comic book situations for Marvel and for other companies. So we decided to go this route. What we would like to see is this Daredevil all-star team, but to do that, you have to sit back and wait for everyone to [come together]."
Judging from that Sienkiewicz art, it'll definitely be worth the wait.

Say the name "Scarlet Spider" to a longtime Marvel reader and you're bound to get a range of reactions. But come the new year, Marvel is hoping all the reactions will be positive and numerous when the new Scarlet Spider series launches on January11. As recently confirmed in Marvel's Point One one-shot, the new Scarlet Spider is none other than Kaine, the Peter Parker clone recently cured during the Spider Island event. Unlike many of Marvel's series set in New York, Scarlet Spider will enjoy the unique cityscape of Houston, Texas — one of many factors that has me looking forward to reading it. Before the series gets started though, series artist Ryan Stegman stepped away from his drawing table to take part in this Q&A. In addition to this interview, CBR also is offering a preview of the first issue. After reading this (and enjoying the preview), be sure to check out the recent installment of Comic Book Resources' "Axel-in-Charge," where Alonso interviewed Stegman.
Tim O'Shea: How did Marvel approach you about joining the Scarlet Spider creative team? Was getting to work with [series writer] Chris Yost a deciding factor in joining the project?
Ryan Stegman: I had been working on an issue of Amazing Spider-Man and I made it clear as I could to editorial that this is the type of stuff I wanted to be doing. I practically begged. And Steve Wacker said that he would love to have me back and but that ASM was booked up artist-wise for the foreseeable future. I couldn't argue this, because the artists that they have are fantastic. So one day, out of the blue he called me up and told me about this idea and I was sold. No offense to Chris, but that wasn't a selling point because I think I was hired before him! Chris turned out to be the icing on the cake.

In the USA and the UK these inequalities have now reached an extent not seen for over a century. Most peoples' health is much better now than then, but the gaps in life expectancy between regions, cities, and between neighbourhoods within cities now surpass the worst measures over the last hundred years. In almost all other affluent countries, inequalities in health are lower and people live longer.
In Unequal Health: The Scandal of Our Times, Danny Dorling describes the current extent of inequalities in health as the scandal of our times and calls for immediate action to reduce them in the near future.

Warriors is a game with a pedigree similar to San Juan or the Settlers of Catan Card Game. Where each of the other two are derivative of a popular board game (San Juan being the little brother of Puerto Rico), Warriors tackled one of the most popular board games in the world: Risk. For more than 25 years there have been suggestions/rumors that there was to be a Risk card game but it never materialized. In 1997, Richard Borg (Battle Cry, Memoir '44) contracted with Hasbro to design the game (along with the Stratego Card Game which later was released as Hera and Zeus). Apparently designer Alan R. Moon ( Ticket to Ride, Union Pacific, etc.) had been working on the concept also. Eventually the two partnered on the design and the result is Warriors. (Note: These two designers had published a joint effort previously, Wongar; an excellent game with the silliest themes ever devised).
Designing a Risk card game is a difficult task on several levels. Few board games port (translate) well to a card version; there is simply too much lost when changing mediums. In addition to that, Risk being a very popular game of strategy and conflict, has a tremendously loyal following around the world, a very demanding and vocal group; this is a tough group to please. Finally, the growing popularity of the Eurogame market cannot be ignored and Eurogamers are notorious for abhorring any game with dice; Risk without dice is not Risk. Borg and Moon faced a formidable task.
To date there have been six versions of Risk; the familiar classic game, Castle Risk, Risk Napoleon, Risk 2210, Risk Lord of the Rings and Risk Godstorm. Though not a Hasbro publication, this would be the seventh version with the Risk Star Wars falling in eighth place. With the exception of Castle Risk, all of the versions were well received. With this history, the release of Warriors suggests several questions. Is this Risk? Does it have the feel, the strategy, the beer and pretzels howling; did they manage to capture Risk in a card game format? Will the Risk faithful enjoy the game? Does this game offer anything to the growing Eurogame community?
Though I had doubts with the first few plays, I eventually began to appreciate the underlying mechanics and strategies. Warriors succeeds; it is a card version of Risk and is a welcome addition to the Risk family. What is most surprising is that the game succeeds on several levels; it is not only a card version of Risk, it is a great stand alone game. I have addressed the game from two different approaches below; first for the Risk loyalist and then for the non-Risk fan, in particular, the Eurogamers.
Risk Loyalists
Combat is the core of the game and Warriors lifts the combat system intact from the basic game. The battles are over control of Nations of Trolls, Elves, etc. Each of these Nations will score bonus points (similar to controlling a continent in classic Risk) at the end of the game. Of course the Nations are not equal and score varying amounts. The individual territories have been replaced with army cards (infantry, archers and cavalry) with each opponent's card taken (killed) worth 2 points at the end of the game. It does feel and play like Risk. The only area it fails in is the lack of developing any long term strategy but then this is a card game and that, more than anything, limits the possibility. The expansion (Dragon Hordes) adds additional cards and another Nation, the Dragons. The Dragons play by slightly different rules but are a fine addition. Though the game can be played without the expansion, the expansion enhances the game in many areas especially offering different opportunities for strategic decisions. (The expansion adds to the game in a manner similar to that of the commanders in 2210 - 2210 could be played without commanders but their inclusion improves the game.) The game plays in 20-30 minutes and is all the beer and pretzels, bangs and whistles that a Risk player could ask for in a card game. Note: the base game is for 2-4 players; the expansion adds enough cards for a fifth and sixth player.
Eurogamers et al
Though I am a fan of Risk, I do enjoy Euro games (I realize that some may be surprised that the two are not mutually exclusive). So the real question is: Would Warriors appeal to a Eurogamer? I believe that Borg and Moon have succeeded in developing a game that crosses over, appeals to both groups. Approaching Warriors from the non-Risk point of view, I would compare the game to Knizia's Blue Moon. (Note: I find Blue Moon to be one of Knizia's better games and enjoy it more every time I play. For those who haven't tried it, Blue Moon is to Lost Cities what a computer is to an abacus.) With Blue Moon, two players battle for control of three dragons. It is a game of numbers with all of the associated 'luck of the draw' expected in a card game. The interaction of the various races and their associated cards is what makes the game so interesting. Fantasy Flight / Kosmos have released several expansion races that increases the variety and complexity of the game resulting in a fantastic experience.
Warriors offers the same type of experience with two differences. The determination of combat supremacy in Warriors is determined by die rolling rather than the numbers on the cards and the interaction of the various Nations is not as complex as with the races of Blue Moon. In short, it is slightly easier to grasp the strategies. As with the Blue Moon expansion, the Dragon Horde expansion for Warriors increases everything good in the game and expands the options for the players. The advantage to Warriors over Blue Moon is that Warriors will play up to 4 players (6 with the expansion) and is easier to teach. Both games play in equivalent amounts of time. Warriors is lighter, more beer and pretzels than Blue Moon. The price of the Warriors expansion is only slightly more than the cost of a Blue Moon expansion, however the Blue Moon expansions are 30 cards while the Warriors expansion is 65 (card for card a better deal). Both games are good.
Final tally: Warriors succeeds.
Well, it hasn't been released yet, but owing to a couple connections I have in the biz, occasionally I get to play pre-release copies of games, and this is one of those occasions. What suprises me is how little info there is about this game thus far, so a full review is in order. I may be cloudy on one or two points of the game (it was late, and I was tired) but the gist of it is here.
Legend has it that this game system of 'Warriors' was originally designed to be a Risk card game, but Hasbro rejected the idea (the scoundrels!) and it languished for some time. But Larry Whelan at Face 2 Face Games picked it up with a retheme and some mechanical tweaking and will have this game out quite soon. It definitely takes the dice from Risk, but after that becomes it's own little game, and a decent one at that.
For your money, you get a deck of cards and 5 dice (at least, I hope they include the dice -- that's an assumption I am making, since the game isn't out yet). The deck contains attack cards, two types of actions cards (wizards and catapults), and 6 different fantasy themed races (dwarves, elves, barbarians, goblins, and...uh...two others that I...uh...promised that I couldn't, uh, say anything about! -- Yeah, that's it! I am not allowed to tell you the last two races... that come in 3 different types within the races (archers, fighters, calvary). The cards are nicely illustrated and remind me very much of the artwork from Dragon's Gold, but a bit cloudier.
Each player is dealt an initial holding of cards, and groups them together by race face-up in front of him. Obviously, the more of a type of warrior, the larger the army and the stronger you are in that race. There are also wizard cards that can be placed on top of an army in order to prevent them from being attacked, and catapult cards that can be used to preemptively remove one card from the board, either a wizard (so that the army the wizard had protected can now be attcked) or a card from an army.
There are also attack cards with varying numbers on them. Every player chooses an attack card and reveals it simultaneously. Lowest number goes first and will declare an attack. The attack cards have two different types of modifiers: most attack cards only allow you to attack with once race, but some allow you to build a force of your choosing, with a card limit printed on the attack card. The attack cards also conatin extra icons depicting attackers, archers, or calvary, which add to the icons depicted in the force itself. When players attack, they may attack either race to race (goblins to goblins), or race to arch enemy, where every race has one arch-enemy race. The only exception to this is the 'wildcard' armies, which are smaller forces, but who may also attack anyone they choose.
Now the attacking player takes one of his forces and points to the force he wants to attack (race to race, or race to arch-enemy, or wildcard army to anything). Once an attack is announced, players compare icons in the forces. Whomever has the most of each icon gets a bonus, ties get nothing: the most archers will get a bonus +1 added to their highest die roll, the number of swords is how many dice you get (to a maximum of 3 dice offense, 2 dice defense), and most calvary gets a bonus as welll (though for the life of me, I can't recall what it is -- I think they get to remove one card from their opponent before the battle begins.)
Then the battle gets going. Like Risk, the dice are rolled, and compared, highest vs. highest, etc. Whoever has the most archers adds a pip to their highest roll, and ties go to the defender. The casualties are figured out, then cards must be removed, the defender decides which cards to get rid of, and they are given to the opposing player, with each card worth a VP. Now the attacker can decide to keep attacking or withdraw. If he attacks again, the icons are again compared and bonuses given, dice rolled, casualties ascertained, VP given.
Each player gets one attack per round; there are 3 rounds in the game; and bonus VPs are awarded for most LIVING cards of each race still in front of the players, with the values of each race different from one another.
This game plays very quick, and though it says 2-4 players, like Kramer's 'Saga' I just don't think 2 players would be any fun at all. This is a 3-4 player game at heart, and plays in a very respectable 30 minutes. I liked my first playing, and think this would be an especially great game to play with Risk fans to open them up to other German games. Sure, it's only the dice that are really familiar, but the short playing time will appeal to almost anyone, and there aren't a lot of themed dice games that are enjoyable to play, but this is definitely one of them.

Review by: Greg J. Schloesser
NOTE: This review was first published in Knucklebones magazine
Man's dominance of earth is in danger. Powerful armies of wizards, dwarves, elves, trolls, goblins and even the undead are assembling to challenge man's rule. The struggle will ultimately pit race against race in a brutal struggle for power.
Such is the theme of Warriors, a fantasy-themed card game from award-winning designers Alan Moon and Richard Borg. The cards depict the various races vying for power, with attractive artwork and easy to understand icons. Icons indicate the type of unit – infantry, archer or cavalry – as well as the arch-enemy of that race. Additional cards depict "attack" and "mercenary" cards, as well as protective wizards and powerful catapults.
The game begins with each player receiving 11 cards, which they divide into forces by race and type. Catapults are not assigned to any particular race, but may be used to participate in any conflict. Wizards are assigned to a particular group, and offer protection by preventing that group from attacking or being attacked.
The game is played over the course of three rounds. Each round, players are dealt a fresh batch of seven cards, keeping four of those (5 in the final round). These cards are assigned as above, but attack and mercenary cards are set aside face-up. These cards are numbered, and allow players to launch attacks against their opponents. Attacks are conducted in ascending order, based upon the value on the cards. A player may not attack if he does not possess an attack or mercenary card, which can be quite discouraging.
Combat is the central mechanism of Warriors, and it is conducted in a fashion very similar to that found in the classic board game Risk. The active player chooses a force he wishes to use in the attack, and a defender. The defender must be either the same race, or its arch-enemy. Players then roll a number of dice based on the number of infantry they have involved in the conflict. As in Risk, the attacker can roll a maximum of three dice, while the defender's limit is two dice. The player possessing the most archers in the battle receives a +1 bonus to the highest result he rolls. Individual dice are then compared, and losses are taken. If a force is not completely destroyed, the attacker may continue to press the attack, or withdraw.
An attack card is valid for one battle, unless the player has a surviving cavalry unit in the attacking force. Cavalry allows the player to continue to attack with that force, choosing new defenders for each assault. This can be quite useful when attacking with a large, formidable force.
Mercenary cards act as attack cards, but allow the player to assemble a force with troops from different races. These cards can be quite powerful, as they permit multi-ethnic forces and allow the player to attack whatever opposing force he desires.
After all attack cards have been used, all catapults and wizards are discarded, and seven new cards are dealt to the players. Three rounds are played, and the victor is determined. Cards eliminated in conflict are placed in the conqueror's victory point stack. At game's end, each vanquished card is worth two victory points. Finally, points are awarded for the largest surviving army in EACH race, which places an importance on preserving one's armies. These points range from 5 points for the lowly "undead" army to a whopping 11 points for the powerful barbarians. The player with the greatest number of points has conquered his opponents and rises to be ruler of the earth.
Warriors is clearly not a deep strategy game, and is not without its flaws. Too few cards are available each round, and players have little control over which cards they receive. Also, the ability to launch an attack is dependent upon receiving attack cards, and it is quite possible to not receive any. This is a significant disadvantage. Of course, the heavy emphasis on dice-rolling does substantially increase the luck factor, with the best laid plans easily dashed by the toss of the dice.
Still, deep strategy gamers are clearly NOT the target market for Warriors, which appears to be aimed primarily at younger folks. Fans of Risk and other light, attack-heavy games should find much to like here. Those attracted to fantasy themes should also be intrigued. Another plus is that the game plays in 30 – 40 minutes, so an entire evening is not necessary to satisfy one's lust for conquest. Viewed with these factors in mind, Warriors certainly fills this niche quite well.
I had extremely high hopes for Warriors (Face 2 Face Games, 2004 -- Alan Moon and Richard Borg.) Not only was the game designed by two of my favorite game designers, but the theme was promising. However, I dislike the game to the point of near hatred. I was so convinced that there must be something I was missing that I played the game five times and detested it all five. Even when I added the expansion, the game still didn't work for me, and yet I wanted to like the game so much!
Normally I enjoy some games less than others, but Warriors just really bombed for me. The gameplay is almost like Risk in a card format (something already a bad idea in my book), but the mixture of fighting and set collecting just did not work for me. The sheer overwhelming randomness of the design, plus the erratic combat, just made my game time wretched. Add to this the fact that occasionally a player can do nothing on their turn and simply must sit there, really makes the game something I never want to play again.
A deck of cards is shuffled, consisting of army units for six different races. Each race (undead, goblins, trolls, barbarians, elves, and dwarves) has three different army types: infantry, archers, and cavalry. There are also three wizards, nine catapults, and fourteen attack cards in the deck. The deck is shuffled, and eleven cards are dealt to each player (attack cards are discarded and players receive replacement cards). Players take their cards and place them face up in front of them. Each race is placed together, in the same "nation", with catapults placed to the side, and wizards assigned to any nation the player prefers. Five dice are placed in the middle of the table, and the deck is reshuffled for the first round of play (out of three).
In each round, a player is dealt seven cards. They pick four of these cards to keep and discard the other three. Once all the players have chosen, the cards are revealed while the army, wizard, and catapult cards are placed just like the initial setup. Battle cards are placed in front of the armies. The battles then begin.
Each attack card has a different number (which range from 2 to 38) and is either a Battle Card or a Mercenary Card. A mercenary attack consists of the player taking the number of troops shown on the card (3 or 4) from any nation, and making an attack with them. A battle card attack consists of an entire nation attacking. A mercenary army can attack any other player's nation, while a nation can only attack the same type of race, or their "natural enemy" (shown on their card).
In an attack, the attacker and defender both roll one die for each infantry symbol in the battle (including those on the attack card). The attacker rolls a maximum of three dice, and the defender rolls a minimum of one die and a maximum of two. The player who has the most archer symbols on their side adds one to their highest roll. The highest roll of each player is compared, and the player with the lower roll (defender wins ties) must give one card from their force to the opponent, who places it face down in their "Victory" pile. If the defender rolled two dice, then the second highest dice of each player is compared with a casualty occurring from that also.
After the initial roll, the attacker can either continue the battle or quit. The battle can also end if one side is completely destroyed. Once the attack is over, the battle card is discarded, unless the attacking player won and has a cavalry symbol on their side. If so, they may make an additional attack, but must turn one card in their attacking force face down).
Wizards protect the nations they are with, which can neither attack or be attacked. They can only be killed by catapults. Players may use their catapults during a battle to target any card in the game, which pauses the battle while that attack takes place. The player using the catapult rolls a die and scores a hit (adding the card to their victory pile) on a 4-6. Either way, the catapult is discarded. After all attacks have been resolved, all wizards and catapults are discarded.
After the first round ends, the second round begins, with seven cards dealt to each player, and each player keeping four. In the third round, players get to keep five cards, instead of four! After the third round ends, the game is over, and players total their points. The player who has the biggest nation of each race gets points (Barbarians = 12, Goblins = 10, Elves = 8, Trolls = 7, Dwarves = 6, and Undead = 5), with ties giving all tied players the same number of points. Also, each card in a player's Victory pile nets him two points. The player with the most points is the winner!
Some comments on the game...
- Components: No one can fault Face 2 Face games for their components, as the cards included with the game are very high quality and have beautiful illustrations. Each race is distinguished not only by a different color but by very different artwork. In a small circle at the bottom of each card is a picture of each race's hated enemy, which is nice but is a bit small, so some players confuse them occasionally. The game also comes with three red dice for the attacker, and two black dice for the defender. The five dice are really nice, with gold pips, and the two different colors help distinguish them (especially with crazy dice-chuckers at the table.) Everything fits in a small box (the expansion also fits in easily) that is sturdy and covered with more of the very nice artwork.
- Rules: The eleven pages of the rulebook (which comes in several languages) fold out (which is kind of annoying, actually) and are filled with examples and a few full-color illustrations. The game is fairly easy to explain to people (especially if they have a Risk background), although the lack of attacking may confuse some of them. I had no problem teaching the game to teenagers, and adults also picked it up fairly fast. The biggest snafu was players trying to remember which races were worth how many points. A reference card would have been great for this purpose, as even I couldn't remember after five games and was constantly looking it up.
- Combat: I've never liked the Risk combat system, but at least in Warriors, it's modified slightly better. I like how the archers give a +1 to the player who has the most, and I enjoy how the attack cards add symbols to a player's army. What I didn't like was how the cavalry was almost worthless, as players rarely had enough forces left after a battle to successfully make another attack. I also didn't like the limitations on the attacks. Sure, I know that this was to add some strategy to the game; but if I have attack cards and a large Goblin army, and my opponent has a one-warrior Dwarf army (the Goblin's enemy) and NO Goblin army, what am I supposed to attack that will make it worth my while? And if they have a big army, the odds are too even for me to even attempt it! It's just not the same as Risk. In Risk, you attack because the more you attack, the more territories you gain, which in turn provides you with more armies. In this game, you don't get much when you attack small armies; they only provide you with a few victory points.
- Battle Cards: But by far, the most annoying factor about combat for me was that you might not even have it! With only fourteen attack cards in the deck, it's very possible that a player get only one or even NO attack cards. When you get no attack cards, all you basically do is just sit there, twiddling your thumbs and waiting for someone to come after you. For some people this is satisfactory, as they simply sit there and build up their armies. But I would submit that those type of people would be totally put off by the combat system. And this is where Warriors fails. Players who enjoy combat systems like Risk will hate it when they cannot attack or can only attack once or twice the entire game. Players who like set collecting games will despise the total randomness of the combat. I don't think that there are many people who would be fond of both and certainly not in the same game.
- Fun Factor: Well, it's apparent from my review that I had no fun playing the game at all. I played it several times, each time with a different group, and I just couldn't stomach it. I solicited people for their opinions; and while a few said that it wasn't as bad as I thought, none of them had much pleasure playing the game.
- Time and Luck: The game is over fairly rapidly, especially if there aren't several attacks. In fact, luck plays a large function in this; because if few attack cards are played, then the game ends quickly (and ends rather unsatisfactorily, I might add).
- Choices: Knowing which army to attack sounds like a strategic option, but in reality, it's simply too obvious. Adding the right cards to your army -- again obvious moves. I just didn't find many options that I had during the game to make my time worthwhile.
- Expansion: There is an expansion for the game, called Dragon Hordes. I've written a review on that game also, but suffice it to say that it adds a bit of attack to the game, while also increasing chaos. In other words, it doesn't salvage the game.
- Risk: The combat system is like Risk, and that's about the extent of it. One draw of Risk is that you can continue to attack, and attack, and attack. You can only do that if you have cavalry in Warriors (which is rare) and then only if your army is large enough to sustain multiple attacks (even more rare) and then only if there are enough available, viable targets (forget it!). Risk: the card game sounds neat, but I don't think Risk fans will enjoy Warriors. Not enough fighting for them, and not the same drive for world dominance.
I've been fairly harsh towards Warriors, and I feel rather badly about it. For one, I really like both designers, as they are true gentlemen and have designed some of the best board games of all times. And also, the theme and idea really intrigued me. Could you take a game like Risk and make it into a fun card game? For Warriors, the answer was "no." This design simply didn't work for me, and I didn't find that I had enough interest from others to cause me to ever bring it to the table again. Risk as a card game may interest some people (it's not a selling point for many), but this game isn't Risk. It's a combination of Risk and a Eurogame, and the mutant produced is rather deformed -- very few will enjoy the playing of it.

Karate Floor Mats
The moves are best felt and delivered when one practices on the right karate floor mats. While some mats are generic to most martial arts there are certain kinds that work very well for karate. The most popular variety is one that comes with extra thick interlocking foam that can withstand heavy moves and can absorb shock really well. Typically these are made from high quality foam called the EVA foam which is known for its incredible water proof and stain resistant qualities. They also offer excellent insulation against sound, heat and moisture which makes them perfect for long workout sessions.
These very durable floor mats for karate needs from MMASTOP are also very easy to clean and maintain. They last for a really long time which means that buyers can get best value for their money here. Some also come in the form of interlocking puzzle tiles in a texture that is scuff resistant. They can be used for various purposes like various athletic needs of the user, for martial arts dojos and most particularly for kids' karate practices. The top thatch of the mats is cushioned in the thickness so even the heaviest of scuffles will leave behind no marks at all.
The various kinds of karate floor mats available at MMASTOP are all soft and safe flooring material that come with the guarantee of longevity as well as affordability. They can withstand intense martial arts training sessions over the years without any damage to their quality or even looks. Along with EVA foam these also have tough vinyl fabric that simply adds to their strength and durability. They offer the best friction for the user's foot which aids them to grapple and overpower their opponents easily. This is why these mats are often known as grappling mats as well.

Mike Modano's North Dallas home is on the market
Dallas Stars legend Mike Modano is selling his North Dallas spread.
The 6-bedroom, 7,250-square-foot house is on the market for just under $2.5 million.
Built in 1999, the house is just north of Walnut Hill Lane.
Dallas real estate agent David Nichols with Allie Beth Allman is marketing the property.
Realtor.com blogger Neal Leitereg said the Dallas hockey pro plans to "cut ties with the Dallas-Fort Worth area."
But Modono's business manager, Tom Fireoved, says that's just not so.
"Nothing could be further from the truth - he is just looking for a different house in the same area," Fireoved said in an email.

MARIETTA - An extra stop was added to the Washington-Morgan Community Action Bus Line during election season but drivers for the line say no voters have taken advantage of it.
No riders have used the service to vote at the new site of the Washington County Board of Elections office on Davis Avenue since early voting began Oct. 1, the drivers said Tuesday.
"We haven't had anyone ride who's voting early so far," said CABL driver Carl Davis. "But if we did drop someone off there they would have to wait an hour before we could pick them up to take them back downtown."
He added that the wait could be as much as two hours for riders when the driver takes his hour lunch break at 11 a.m.
From Oct. 1 through Nov. 5 CABL service is being routed past the 204 Davis Ave. location of the board of elections so that folks who would like to take advantage of early voting and need transportation to the elections office can do so.
During last week's Marietta City Council meeting Councilman Tom Vukovic, D-4th Ward, said he had been told the CABL buses were dropping voters off below the elections office on Davis Avenue because the bus drivers could not turn around in the parking lot near the board of elections office entrance.
Davis said Tuesday the turnaround can be tight, especially if there are a lot of cars parked in that lot, but the buses have always been able to make the turn.
Vukovic said he was glad to know the buses were able to deliver voters to the office entrance.
"But voters who ride the bus would still have to wait at least an hour to be picked back up again, and if they know that they may just be deciding not to vote at the election board office," he said.
Vukovic has expressed concern that the relocation of the board of elections office from the county courthouse to the Davis Avenue site earlier this year would have an impact on the early voting process because the office is the sole location where voters can cast an early ballot during each election.
Community Action Director David Brightbill said he's received no complaints about the bus service to the Davis Avenue location from riders or drivers.
"And we're continuing to run our normal schedule in that area, except in the early morning and mid afternoons when high school traffic is heavy on Davis Avenue," he said.
Personnel at the board of elections office said they've had no complaints about the bus service, but as far as they know there have been no early voters using the CABL to access the new office location.
Board of Elections Director Tara Hupp said as of Tuesday afternoon 1,314 early ballots had been cast-most of those by mail.
"We've had 325 people who have come in to vote," she said. "In 2009 there was a total of 3,431 early ballots, and 1,551 of those voted in the office."
Hupp noted this is an off-year election with no statewide or county-wide issues, so voter turnout is expected to be light. She added that there were at least three statewide issues on the ballot in 2009, which would have helped beef up the turnout that year.
"The number of voters often just depends on the type of election," she said. "And we've been pretty busy with early voting here this year. Many people have complimented us on the availability of parking and more room for early voting booths at this site."
Early voting at the election board office ends at 2 p.m. Nov. 4.

Highly overpriced!!! I payed 49$ for a room with shared bathroom, situated in-between kitchen and stuff room, so it was constantly noisy. Plus, there is a restaurant attached to the hotel, so my bathroom was shared with all the visitors which means that I had to wait a bit to take the shower. I had better accommodation in Bolivia for much less money! I changed it after the first night. Plus is -included is breakfast and one meal (very good one). still in Bolivia 2 meals cannot coast 30$ or so!
So sorry you were not pleased! However, you booked in on a holiday and we always raise our prices (as do most hotels). You received the only room open for that day, one with shared bath as noted on your reservation, You reserved late,only two days before. We urge all foreign tourists to check and see if they are booking their stay on a national holiday and book farther in advance. (Samaipata is full of Bolivians on holidays seeking a long family getaway)We offer free stays for unhappy guests.

The hotel (not a hostel - too expensive for that, and no dorms) is located within a 10 minute walk of town. It's functional not exceptional. The breakfast is OK (you pay more to have more). The internet goes off at night when the router is put away and is not activated until around 0630. The gate is locked (preventing early walks) until the staff wake up. There are more hotels (cheaper too) in the town but they are not on the net hence not indicated on search engines.
1. It takes you 10 minutes to walk downhill 2 blocks to the main plaza? 2. The staff will leave the router plugged in for you until you are ready for us to turn it off. (It is located outside to give better coverage to our large property.) Did you bother to ask the administrator? 3. You paid for a room with an all you can eat breakfast.Why didn't you just ask for more? 4. Your room key comes with a key to the lock at the front gate so that you can come and go as you please.5. Yes we are a hotel.

Drinking red wine might help "friendly" bacteria thrive in the colon, making it a newcomer to the category of health-promoting substances called prebiotics.
Red wine is rich in polyphenols—plant-derived compounds that act as antioxidants in the body, counteracting the damage caused by unstable molecules called free radicals. Polyphenols may play a role in preventing many chronic diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. A large percentage of dietary polyphenols survive most of the digestive process, making it to the large intestine (colon) virtually unchanged. Here, they are believed interact with the local "gut bugs."
According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, to see if red wine polyphenols influenced the types of bacteria in the colon, a team of Spanish researchers compared the effects of red wine, dealcoholized red wine, and gin on the composition of intestinal bacteria found in ten healthy men (average age 48).
The study consisted of three, 20-day periods, during which the men drank 272 ml of red wine, 272 ml of dealcoholized red wine, or 100 ml of gin per day.
Before beginning, and again after each study period, the men's stool was tested for the presence of several different bacterial strains. Their blood pressure was also measured throughout the study, and tests were run to look at levels of blood fats and inflammatory markers after each test period.
"Although further research is required, the results of this study suggest the possible prebiotic benefits associated with the inclusion of red wine polyphenols in the diet," the team concluded.
Optimal digestion is one of the cornerstones of health and immunity. Here are some tips for keeping your insides in tip-top shape:

Heart Disease Health Center
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy - Topic Overview
What is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (say "hy-per-TROH-fik kar-dee-oh-my-AWP-uh-thee") happens when the heart muscle grows too thick, so the heart gets bigger and its chambers get smaller. Many people have no symptoms and live a normal life with few problems. But in some people with this condition:
- The heart doesn't get enough blood and oxygen, which can cause chest pain.
- A fast, slow, or uneven heartbeat (arrhythmia) develops. In rare cases, this can cause sudden death.
- The heart doesn't pump blood well, or it doesn't relax between beats as it should. In rare cases, this can lead to heart failure.
People who exercise often and hard may have changes in their heart muscle that can be confused with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This condition is called athlete's heart syndrome. It is harmless. When an athlete stops training, the heart will return to a normal size.
What causes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Certain genes cause the heart to grow more than it should.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common genetic disease of the heart. This means it runs in families. About 1 in 500 adults has this condition.1
You are at risk for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy if either of your parents or a brother or sister has it or died suddenly at a young age. Talk to your doctor about getting tested.
What are the symptoms?
You may not have any symptoms. Or you might:
- Feel tired and short of breath when you are active.
- Have chest pain. You may have a heavy, tight feeling in your chest. Chest pain is often brought on by exercise, when the heart has to work harder.
- Feel dizzy or faint, often after you have been active.
- Feel like your heart is pounding, racing, or beating unevenly (palpitations).
A rapid or irregular heartbeat or fainting spells are signs of an arrhythmia, which makes sudden death more likely.
How is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy diagnosed?
Your doctor will do a physical exam and ask you about any health problems you've had and about any family history of heart disease or early and sudden death. You may need tests such as:
- Echocardiogram.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG).
- Chest X-ray.
Your doctor may refer you to a doctor who specializes in heart problems (cardiologist). Based on your symptoms, past health, and family history, the specialist can assess your risk for sudden death. People who are at high risk will need regular checkups. If you are at low risk for sudden death, you may not need to see your doctor often. But you will need a checkup anytime your symptoms change or get worse.

If you want to take down somebody else's argument, a certain familiarity with the nature of intellectual or philosophical (as opposed to playground) argument is required, so that you can construct your own counter-argument. In an intellectual argument, the person putting forth an argument sets out a number of premises (statements of facts), which, when you add them together, at best makes it impossible for their conclusion to be false (deductive argument), or at least makes it much more likely that their conclusion is true (inductive argument).

The author, commissioned by the International Institute of Statistics, has undertaken an extensive survey on the incidence of cancer in the large cities of the world, usually those of more than 500,000 inhabitants. It includes the United States and Canada, Argentina, Chile, Peru, British India, Japan, Egypt, the South African Union, Australia, New Zealand, and all the European countries except Yugoslavia, Turkey and Russia. The statistics cover the general incidence of cancer in five year age groups, separated according to sex. Only cancer of the oral cavity, the respiratory tract, the intestinal tract, the breast and the uterus are discussed separately. It is interesting to note the uniform age distribution of cancer in such heterogeneous populations as those in the United States and Japan. Also a comparison of the cancer deaths of the same population in different years shows a striking uniformity. The comparison of the death rate in the
