Stable angina is chest pain or discomfort that most often occurs with activity or stress. Angina is due to poor blood flow through the blood vessels in the heart.
Angina - stable; Angina - chronic; Angina pectoris
Your heart muscle needs a constant supply of oxygen. The coronary arteries carry blood containing oxygen to the heart.
When the heart muscle has to work harder, it needs more oxygen. Symptoms of angina occur when the coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked by atherosclerosis or by a blood clot.
The most common cause of angina is coronary artery disease. Angina pectoris is the medical term for this type of chest pain.
Stable angina is less serious than unstable angina, but it can be very painful or uncomfortable.
There are many risk factors for coronary artery disease. Some include:
Anything that makes the heart muscle need more oxygen or reduces the amount of oxygen it receives can cause an angina attack in someone with heart disease, including:
Other causes of angina include:
Symptoms of stable angina are most often predictable. This means that the same amount of exercise or activity may cause your angina to occur. Your angina should improve or go away when you stop or slow down the exercise.
The most common symptom is chest pain that occurs behind the breastbone or slightly to the left of it. The pain of stable angina usually begins slowly and gets worse over the next few minutes before going away.
Typically, the chest pain feel like tightness, heavy pressure, squeezing, or a crushing feeling. It may spread to the:
Some people say the pain feels like gas or indigestion.
Less common symptoms of angina may include:
Pain from stable angina:
Angina attacks can occur at any time during the day. Most occur between 6 a.m. and noon.
Treatment for angina can include:
If you have angina, you and your doctor will develop a daily treatment plan. This plan should include:
You may need to take one or more medicines to treat blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol levels. Follow your doctor's directions closely to help prevent your angina from getting worse.
Nitroglycerin pills or spray may be used to stop chest pain.
Anti-clotting drugs such as aspirin and clopidogrel (Plavix) or prasugrel (Effient) can help prevent blood clots from forming in your arteries, and reduce the risk of heart attack. Ask your doctor if you should be taking these medicines.
Your doctor may give you one or more medicines to help prevent you from having angina. These include
NEVER STOP TAKING ANY OF THESE DRUGS ON YOUR OWN. Always talk to your doctor first. Stopping these drugs suddenly can make your angina worse or cause a heart attack. This is especially true of anti-clotting drugs (aspirin, clopidogrel, and prasugrel).
Your doctor may recommend a cardiac rehabilitation program to help improve your heart's fitness.
Some people will be able to control angina with medicines and not need surgery. Others will need a procedure called angioplasty and stent placement (also called percutaneous coronary intervention) to open blocked or narrowed arteries that supply blood to the heart.
Blockages that cannot be treated with angioplasty may need heart bypass surgery to replace the damaged blood vessels.
A risk factor is something about you that increases your chance of getting a disease or having a certain health condition.
Some risk factors for heart disease you cannot change, but some you can. Changing the risk factors that you can control will help you live a longer, healthier life.

♦ The public mood in Egypt is hardening against Islamists since President Mohamed Morsi was deposed – a result of fatigue with the turmoil caused by Brotherhood marches, and hostile local media that refrain from covering the bloody crackdown on Islamist protest camps.
♦ On the flip side, the crackdown on Islamist camps caused the most violent wave of Islamist violence against Christians in modern history, with attacks on 30 churches and at least four Christian deaths.
♦ In the hours before Egyptian security forces launched a crackdown on camps of pro-Morsi supporters, American diplomats were pushing for agreements between the two groups to avoid violence – all of which failed, as generals in Cairo ignored Americans "in a cold-eyed calculation that they would not pay a significant cost."
♦ An event that brought together India's prime minister with past, present and future bosses of the central bank yielded some insight into what the future might hold for the volatile economy, including bringing incoming RBI governor Raghuram Rajan on earlier, not adding new capital controls, and narrowing the trade deficit.
♦ Being an American among Brits sometimes "feels like being a guest who shows up at a memorial service wearing a Hawaiian shirt and traumatizes the mourners with intrusive personal questions," writes Sarah Lyall of her 18 years as the New York Times' UK correspondent.
♦ The partner of Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian journalist who revealed surveillance programs by the NSA using documents passed to him by whistleblower Edward Snowden, was detained for almost nine hours by UK authorities in Heathrow airport to be questioned under the Terrorism Act 2000.
♦ After almost 60 years, the US intelligence community has openly acknowledged that it was behind the controversial overthrow of Iran's former prime minister Mohammed Mossadegh in 1953.
♦ Turkey's greatest writer Orhan Pamuk converses with Simon Schama about recent developments in his country, including the "wonderful" uprising in Taksim square and the twilight of prime minister Tayyip Erdogan, and allows him to step into his home that has been transformed into a "Museum of Innocence."

A MAJOR overhaul for Malvern Link's railway station has now been completed with a new coat of paint for the footbridge.
Two completely new station buildings were opened earlier this year, providing new waiting rooms on both platforms. plus a new ticket office, in a style matching the station's Victorian heritage.
And the job has now been finished with a new paint job for the footbridge linking the two platforms.
The completion of the $3500,000 project has been welcomed by MP Harriett Baldwin, who formally opened the new buildings in March.
Mrs Baldwin said: "The new-look train station is very impressive, but when I formally opened facility, the bridge looked a little sad and unloved. The coat of paint makes a big difference and the station now looks fantastic.
"Our long-term economic plan is helping job growth and 7,900 more people in West Worcestershire are now working compared to 2010. The new station will help attract both inward investors, tourists and commuters."

Go geocaching! It's great fun, and all you need to do it is Internet access and a GPS-enabled device (ah, the wonders of the smartphone!). But wait, I hear you say: What the heck is geocaching? Easy: It's a scavenger hunt. A real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game, geocaching involves participants navigating to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempting to find the geocache—usually a small container—hidden at that location. Inside the container, you'll usually find a number of items left by the people who found it before you. They could be anything from a lucky penny to one of those plastic spider rings you get out of grocery store vending machines. If you take an item, be sure to leave one of equal value in its place. There's also often a list of the people who have found it and a small pencil so you can add your own name to the list. Head over to Geocaching.com to get started and find the coordinates for a geocache or two near you—then head out with your honey and tell us what you find!

FAIRFIELD, Ohio (AP) -- Police in this northern Cincinnati suburb said Tuesday they arrested three people and were seeking a fourth suspect in an apparent home-invasion robbery that left a southwest Ohio youth dead.
Fairfield police said that two 19-year-old women and a 26-year-old man were jailed. No attorney information was available, pending court appearances on aggravated murder charges. Police were looking for 26-year-old Joseph Goodin, and said he should be considered armed and dangerous.
Nineteen-year-old Julian Slaven was fatally shot Saturday night in his Fairfield home. Police have said they suspect the shooting wasn't random, and officer Doug Day said the shooting appeared to be part of "a drug deal gone bad."
He said Misty Williams and Christia Frymire were arrested during a traffic stop Tuesday. Jerry Eacholes of Middletown was arrested separately.

Distinguished Service Cross Citation
25 October 1918 — Verdun, France
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Captain (Infantry) Harry B. Doremus, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company "C", 114th Infantry Regiment, 29th Division, A.E.F., near Verdun, 25 October 1918. Having been ordered to establish liaison between his company and the support unit on the right, Captain Doremus led his detail to its objective under heavy machine-gun fire. The successful completion of his work saved a most serious situation, but in the performance of his duty he was killed.

Aqua 54 — By Capt. Patrick Sciacca —
June 2004
Riding the Edge
|This Italian-built express cruiser is made for high-speed handling.
My college friend, Phil, owned a 1966 Chevelle SS that he tricked out with all the bells and whistles, including a worked-over 427-cid block, a nitrous-oxide tank, and a pumped-up transmission. One day after class he offered me a ride home. I got in the seat, and Phil aimed his vintage rocket ship down Kissena Boulevard in Queens, New York. At the drop of the foot, the car took off in neck-snapping fashion. My head was pinned against the headrest. It was a helluva ride.
So what does this have to do with boats, you ask? It just so happens a recent boat test brought me right back to that high-speed memory.
No, Chevy has not started building go-fast boats, but the Italian high-performance boatbuilder Baia has a 54-footer named the Aqua that offers the same get-up-and-go performance as Phil's souped-up street car. My test boat hit 53.3 mph at 2350 rpm, with a cruise speed of 44 mph at 2000 rpm. Not exactly a quarter-miler like the Chevelle, but equally fun.
The big difference is that my test boat was skipping over a good two- to three-foot chop on the Atlantic off South Florida. In addition, the Aqua jumped nearly 20 mph in speed between 1500 and 1750 rpm. I soon discovered it wasn't just her optional 1,015-hp Caterpillar C18 diesels that made this boat's performance impressive.
First, she's also armed with Arneson ASD11 Surface Drives coupled to five-blade 31.5x44 Rolla surface-piercing propellers. (Baia has been using surface drives for more than 20 years.) The articulated drives and highly cambered props get the boat on plane at a leisurely 14 knots (between 1250 and 1300 rpm) with the help of some tab. Since the Arneson drives allow you to alter the amount of prop in the water, trim tabs are used mostly to assist with low-speed planing, to adjust for unequal loading, and when traveling in big seas; the drives are used for almost all other trim applications. The ASD11s also offer reduced drag and a shallow draft (3'0") for nook-and-cranny or Bahamas cruisers, both of which enhance the Aqua's high-performance capabilities. And, of course, the drives' trademark rooster tail provides some flair and showmanship.
Adding to her performance from the build side is the boat's relatively light weight. Constructed of pre-pregnated Kevlar, which provides a light but durable hull, the Aqua comes in at 39,000 pounds (dry). The laminate comes off a large roll already wet and is simply laid in and smoothed out. Baia has been using Kevlar in this fashion for about two decades. Maybe that explains why some of the similar-size express cruisers I've seen that are constructed of solid fiberglass are 12,000 pounds or so heavier than the Baia Aqua 54.
After marveling at her speed and that rooster tail, I put down my radar gun and slid behind the two-person helm seat located to starboard on the bridge deck. It was time to see how she performed firsthand. I asked Baia's Capt. Paolo Mataloni for a primer on the Aqua's handling aspects before letting her out of the gate. He explained that once you have the boat up to cruise speed and higher, you want to keep the props trimmed to about midline on the trim gauge, which is easily viewable just forward of the wheel. At slower speeds, the gauge should read about one-quarter below midline. The propeller-trim joysticks are easily positioned just to port of the wheel with trim tabs and optional bow thruster controls also here. Large icons next to each control make them readily identifiable on the fly.

A SOLDIER who plotted to poison his girlfriend so she would have a miscarriage has been freed from jail after top judges described him as a "considerable asset" to the army.
Matthew Fletcher, 35, of the Royal Artillery, planned to feed his partner, Helen Fry, pills he had disguised as innocuous pregnancy supplements as he was "not ready for a family".
Fletcher, who was stationed at Hereford, was jailed for two years at Worcester Crown Court, in May, after he admitted procuring poison with intent to cause a miscarriage.
But three senior judges at London's Appeal Court this week upheld a sentence challenge by the "highly-trained" serviceman.
They freed him by suspending his jail term for a year, as "an act of mercy".
Sir Richard Henriques said Fletcher, an 18-year army veteran, began a relationship with his victim in 2013 and, after a temporary split, he told her he was not ready to have children.
However, she discovered that she was pregnant in January, this year and Fletcher initially said he was unhappy about the news.
He later performed an about-face and said he would support the woman no matter what.
She decided to keep the baby and began taking Pregnacare supplements to help ensure the unborn child was healthy.
But she discovered that packages Fletcher had delivered to her home from India later that month were from pharmaceutical firms which supplied abortion drugs.
When she showed the tablets to a doctor, who confirmed she had not been poisoned, the woman was told to report the matter to police.
The pills were analysed and found to contain substances designed to induce miscarriage. Fletcher's barracks were searched.
Officers found some of the woman's harmless pregnancy tablets, which had been partially drilled out, a tool used for the job and red paint, which matched the colour of the innocuous supplements.
Fletcher, of Holmer, Hereford, was arrested and initially said the matter was "just a row", however, he later confessed to the charge under an act which dates back to 1861.
On appeal, his barrister, Ramin Pakrooh, said the sentence was excessively harsh and "truly career-ending" and argued that, given Fletcher's excellent record and his value to the army, his jail term should have been suspended.
The Appeal Court heard from superior officers who lauded Fletcher's "valued service". They explained that, if Fletcher were allowed to walk free, his military career might be saved.
Sir Richard, sitting with Lady Justice Sharp and Mr Justice Spencer, said: "Fletcher is highly trained and potentially a considerable asset. We make no criticism whatsoever of the sentence imposed at the Crown Court in allowing this appeal.
"Accordingly we suspend the sentence of two years' imprisonment for a period of 12 months. To that extent, this appeal is allowed."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Two growing movements are threatening to throw a wrench into Black Thursday shopping just two days before the doors are set to open.
Both Walmart and Target plan on opening early Thanksgiving night. But the question is, will it be with added backlash?
Walmart employees are planning to picket, complaining of low wages and poor health care benefits.
At Target, a petition with 350,000 signatures is circulating from employees who want time off on the holidays.
"I think it's greed capitalism," said Terry Buckenmeyer, of the IWW Union. "It's just putting profits before people."
Buckenmeyer is talking about a growing grumble from employees of big-box retailers who plan on using the Black Friday shopping season against the place that they work.
Buckenmeyer said Walmart employees plan to picket the superstore on Black Friday, complaining of inadequate health care and low wages.
The picket coincides with the timing of Target employees Black Thursday gripe. They want to spend time with their families.
"I think it's ridiculous," shopper Cheryl Rosenberger said. "I think shopping on Thursday, absolutely ridiculous."
"I talked with Walmart employees in Orlando," Buckenmeyer said. "They're kind of coordinating these and a lot of them have been called to work to stock shelves because the first Walmart sale is Thursday at 8 p.m. Thanksgiving night, interrupting plans with their family.
Buckenmeyer said more and more workers are pushing back against corporate America.
For Target employees, it's in the form of a petition with now more than 350,000 signatures. Addressed to the CEO, it says, "Opening at 9 p.m. disgusts me and symbolizes everything that is wrong with this country. Give Thanksgiving back to the families."
"I think honestly that's insane," shopper Bethany Morehouse said. "I'm not big into crowds. It's honestly insane."
Target fired back saying, "We reached out to all our store leaders and asked them to find volunteers to work. Employees will receive time-and-a-half pay and there is no corporate policy mandating that they work."

For a while, i took japanese and spanish learning seriously. Then I got sidetracked, and all I had time for was a little bit of learning here and there. Which has had me venturing into a little bit of Arabic, Hebrew, French, German (took that seriously for a little while), Latin, Akkadian, Sumerian, Farsi, Hittite, Chinese, Russian, Hurrian, and the list continues. And those are just the ones I know phrases here and there in (well, I know some Russian and Farsi grammar, and am decent in Sumerian grammar).
Once again, I'm reviving my langing hobby. And ever annoying my "English TM Only" friends.
Starting to take this serious again
