Great deceit's unanswered questions
ONE of the greatest ironies about Lance Armstrong's talk-fest is that it has morphed into a discussion about what he did not say.
The shedding of tears in instalment two of a sitting with Oprah Winfrey ticked a previously unchecked box for some.
Far more serious, however, are the gaping holes in a selective confessional that anti-doping chiefs and sports bosses worldwide are impatient for the self-described cheat, liar, bully and narcissist to fill in.
Critical of the largely unhelpful ''convenient truth'' Armstrong shared with the talk-show host after declining several calls to front the likes of the US Anti-Doping Agency, David Howman, boss of the World Anti-Doping Authority, expressed no sympathy for the disgraced cyclist.
International Olympic Committee member and former WADA boss Dick Pound remains suspicious about Armstrong's motives and does not feel he is truly sorry.
''I think this is another attempt to control another narrative,'' he told CNN.
Armstrong, meanwhile, signalled he will fight his lifetime ban from sport, believing he ''deserves'' to compete again and that he has received the ''death penalty'' while other cheats have got off lightly.
In a second televised night of conversation with Winfrey that was more public therapy than revelatory, Armstrong broke down when discussing what doping had done to his home life, detailing his sense of shame when breaking the news recently to his 13-year-old son, Luke, that he was a fraud.
Armstrong promised he would spend the rest of his days trying to make up for his great deceit to supporters he has disgusted, but said that as bad as he felt, nothing compared to the low of receiving a cancer diagnosis: a nightmare he faced at 25 and overcame.
Of far greater interest to sports chiefs are the matters of who supported Armstrong's doping, who he doped with and who helped cover it up.
They want this to be declared under oath, and with cross-examination.For his sudden compulsion to do good, Armstrong has given no such commitment to do the one thing that USADA and WADA would value most.
In fact, all he had for the government agency that nailed him was criticism: USADA's lifetime ban from all Olympic sports was too harsh, and he certainly did not attempt to offer the organisation $250,000 as claimed.
''I got a death penalty and they got six months,'' Armstrong said, comparing his endless punishment with the penalties dealt to riders who testified against him and incurred reduced sanctions as a pay-off.
''I'm not saying that's unfair necessarily, but I'm saying it's different.''
Armstrong has not said it himself, but the multimillion-dollar lawsuits hanging over his head, and the lingering threat of perjury charges, clearly loom large.
His downfall has already cost him dearly – in Saturday's broadcast he referred to the ''$75million day'' recently when, one by one, sponsors dumped him – but there is much more to come and he knows it.
Among the issues are a $US30million whistleblower lawsuit filed by Floyd Landis, formerly a teammate of Armstrong's.
There are also claims by London's The Sunday Times newspaper and Dallas insurer SCA.
''I've certainly lost all future income,'' said the man who is estimated to have a personal wealth of $US125million.
Only one major sporting body of note has come close to celebrating the words that Armstrong has uttered: the one that has the most to lose.
Pat McQuaid, the boss of cycling's besieged world governing body, wasted no time trumpeting his view that Armstrong has now proved there was ''no collusion or conspiracy'' as far as Union Cycliste Internationale and the disgraced rider is concerned.
McQuaid based his statement, which has raised more than a few eyebrows in cycling ranks, on Armstrong's emphatic denial of a claim he donated six-figure sums to the UCI to cover up positive doping tests.
But even Armstrong – adamant he did not dope after his comeback in 2009, though scientific evidence suggests he did – has acknowledged there is no reason for anyone to believe him again.

One thing to be aware of is visas may be a problem for burma at the moment unless you have several months lead time in which to apply for a meditation visa as I know some centres aren't accepting people with a tourist visa.
If you are thinking up to 1 month then thailand is easier, if more then it's probably worth going to burma as once you have a meditation visa I think it's easier to extend it than it would be for a thai tourist visa.

Don't be misled to come to thailand.
I don't understand your post. Perhaps it is an English problem.
Quite a few people here have Thai or Thai-trained teachers, and/or have spent time in Thailand. Clearly there are some excellent teachers in Thailand. I would caution, however, that there is a huge variation in Thailand (presumably this is the case in Burma as well..), and one would want to select a place where it was clear that there were English-speaking teachers and good organisation.
At the risk of straying off topic, Malaysia is also a serious option. Many of the famous Burmese and Thai groups (Mahasi, Pa Auk, etc) have meditation centres there, English is widely spoken, and visas are no problem for most passport holders. I've not been to Malaysia for mediation myself, but I've met a number of excellent Malaysian monks and know people here who go to Malaysia for retreats.

(ROCHESTER, NY…) The Rochester Rattlers announced that seven of their 2011 MLL Collegiate Draft picks have signed with Major League Lacrosse today.
Joel White (Rattlers First Round Pick – Second Overall) was a three time All-American defensive midfielder for the Syracuse University Orange. He was a first team USILA All-American and Tewaaraton Trophy finalist after his junior year when he collected 78 ground balls and caused 31 turnovers while scoring 6 goals and adding 4 assists for 10 points. White became the first defensive specialist to win the Lt. Donald C. MacLaughlin, Jr. award as the nation's top midfielder. As a senior White scooped 79 ground balls and caused 30 turn overs while adding 4 goals and 2 assists for 6 points. He was again recognized as a USILA First Team All-American and Tewaaraton Trophy finalist. White won two national championships with the Orange, and was an integral part of a defense that posted a goals-against average under 8.00 each of his four seasons on campus. He finished his career at Syracuse with 18 goals and 10 assists for 28 points while collecting 283 ground balls.
Jovan Miller (Second Round Pick – Eighth Overall) was a two-time All-American and a two-time National Champion with the Syracuse University Orange. He scored 15 goals and added 6 assists while scooping 48 ground balls as a junior short stick defensive midfielder on an Orange team that led the nation in scoring defense. As a senior he started in 17 games and scored 14 goals with 11 assists for 25 points while collecting 24 ground balls. Miller finished his career with 35 goals and 29 assists for 64 points while collecting 117 ground balls.
Jordan McBride (Third Round Pick – 14th Overall) was a four-time All-American at Stony Brook University where he scored forty or more goals each season for four straight seasons. As a freshman, McBride had a record setting season with 44 goals and 11 assists for 55 points. He added 41 goals as a sophomore and 48 goals as a junior before netting 41 goals this spring. McBride finished his career tenth on the NCAA scoring list with 175 goals and 209 points. He had 42 multi-goal games and 31 hat tricks.
John Galloway (Fourth Round Pick – 20th Overall) was a two-time first team All-American as a four-year starter in goal for Syracuse University. In 2008 he became only the fifth true freshmen to lead his team to an NCAA championship. In 2009 he became the only goalie in NCAA history to win the national championship as a freshmen and a sophomore. As a junior Galloway set a school record and led the nation in goals-against average (7.16) before he broke his own school record with a 6.70 goals-against average as a senior. He was the two-time Big East Goalie of the Year. Galloway is the only goalie in Syracuse history to win the Ensign C. Markland Kelly, Jr. Award as the nation's top goalie. He won the award in 2010 and 2011.
Grant Catalino (Outlaws Fourth Round Pick - Acquired via trade with Denver) was a three-time All-American at Maryland where he compiled a 45-22 record and led the Terps to their first ACC Championship since 2005 and their first NCAA title game since 1998. Catalino finished his career tenth in Maryland Men's Lacrosse history in points (185) and seventh in goals (119). He scored 4 goals in the ACC tournament and recorded 7 goals and 3 assists in Maryland's Cinderella run to the NCAA finals. In 2007,Catalino was named the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle All-Greater Rochester Player of the Year after leading Webster Schroeder (Rochester, NY) to a 19-1 record with 65 goals and 35 assists for 100 points.
Brian Caufield (Sixth Round Draft Pick – 32nd Overall) finished his career fourth on the University of Albany's career list with 92 assists. He was on the Tewaaraton Trophy Watch List as a junior with 10 goals and 22 assists before missing the last five games of the season with a broken jaw. Caufield's career started with back to back forty point seasons when he scored 27 goals and added 21 assists for 48 points as a freshmen. He was named an honorable mention USILA All-American after recording 24 goals and 27 assists as the nation's second highest scoring sophomore. Caufield had 9 goals and 22 assists this spring. He finished his career with 162 points.
Matt Chadderdon (Eighth Round Draft Pick – 44th Overall) was a four-year midfielder with NCAA Division II powerhouse LeMoyne College. Chadderdon leaves with a 58-7 career record with the Dolphins, three appearances in the national championship game, four NE-10 regular season championships and one NE-10 tournament championship. Chadderdon was a three-time All-American who was named a first-team USILA All-American the past two seasons. He was a first team All-Conference nominee for the second straight year, and finished the season third in goals (24) and fourth in points (33). Chadderdon was the 2010 Northeast-10 Conference and USILA Player of the Year.
"We're really excited about the draft picks that we are bringing in this year. It's a great group with what we feel are the best players in the country at their positions. John Galloway and Joel White are two of the five finalists for the Tewaaraton Trophy tomorrow night, so they really are some of the best players in the country in 2011. It's also notable how many of these players have local roots in Western New York." Rattlers Coach BJ O'Hara said.
The Rattlers will be practicing in Rochester twice this weekend. On Saturday the Rattlers will be at Total Sports Experience (880 Elmgrove Road Rochester, NY 14624) from 4PM to 6PM. On Sunday the Rattlers will be practicing 9:30AM to 11:30AM at Sahlen's Stadium. Both practice sessions are open to the public.
The Rattlers return to action in Major League Lacrosse on Friday June 10th, 2011 at 7:30PM in Sahlen's Stadium when they take on the Hamilton Nationals.

Definition: Proof
A term used in bread making that means to dissolve yeast in a warm liquid. You then set it aside for five to ten minutes while the yeast does its magic and becomes bubbly.
You do this to prove that the yeast you're using is actually alive, active and able to work in a bread or baked good recipe (hence the name "proofing").

APTOS -- Cabrillo College held an annual event Sunday that helps students seeking financial aid for college, in advance of a Saturday deadline for priority consideration.
Sunday, advisers at the college's Computer Technology Center were helping students with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. It is used for financial aid and scholarships, organizers said.
The process can be intimidating, but it is becoming simpler, said Tama Bolton, the college's director of enrollment services.
Last year, the U.S. Department of Education and the IRS worked together so that tax information can be "populated" into the aid application, she said.
Those considering college can list 10 institutions they are considering and add or change that list later, she said.
"It's good to get it done, no matter where you are going," she said. "Different colleges process them differently. Cabrillo College wants you to apply first."
And it should be free, she said, though some websites will charge application fees as high as $80, after applicants complete the form and are poised to submit it. (Use www.fafsa.gov, she stressed.)
The application takes about 30 minutes to complete, she said.
Sunday's outreach program was done through Cash 4 College, a federally funded program that helps students with that process, said Antonio Alarcón, a Cabrillo College adviser and program outreach coordinator.
Alarcón, who recently joined the financial aid team at Cabrillo, said they will assist anyone needing help with the application, and not just for those going to Cabrillo.
And they help pinpoint local scholarships as well, he said.
"The whole idea is to get as many people to apply as possible," he said. "It's an under-utilized process the federal government and schools have created."
The March 2 deadline is really to help states get their funding out, while federal deadlines are later, he said.
"Always apply, and follow-up with the school you want to go to," he said. "Apply even if it's just an option."
He recommends that high school students start looking at specific colleges in their junior year of high school, with an eye toward aid and scholarship possibilities.
George Titsworth V, a Harbor High senior, came to the event Sunday. He said he wants to study Information Technology and plans to start at Cabrillo. Titsworth recently moved to Santa Cruz from Kansas City and would love to go to UC Santa Cruz, he said.
"I'm glad I came," he said. "I needed to get the ball rolling for financial aid."
Another Cash 4 College event will be 10 a.m. to noon Friday at Cabrillo's Watsonville campus.

With President Obama's re-election earlier this week, all eyes have now focused on the looming expiration of the current tax rates at year end.
The fear is that with Obama continuing in office there will be a significant, maybe even dramatic rise in the tax rate on dividends, and that dividend paying stocks will lose their appeal and suffer in the market.
For much of this year, we have extolled the benefits of having a portion of your assets in mature, lower volatility, higher dividend paying stocks. While a modest negative, the prospect of a higher tax on dividends does not shake our conviction as to the attractiveness of this investment class.
We believe the knee-jerk reaction to abandon dividend paying stocks is a wrong step. Here are a few reasons why:
1. First and most importantly, the worst case scenario for dividend taxation is not likely to play out. The default tax rates contained in the legislation mandating required higher rates in the event of no agreement to the contrary, were deliberately set punitively high precisely to force the players to come to a realistic compromise. Will rates increase? Very likely, but a rise to 20% to 25% is far more likely. Plus, higher dividend taxes might be progressive such that lower bracket tax payers end up paying little or no higher taxes.
2. In addition, while a higher tax rate will affect the mindset of taxable investors, the ownership of many, probably most, dividend paying stocks includes IRA, private and public pension plans, and other tax exempt entities. Therefore even if rates were higher than expected, high dividend paying stocks would still have a great appeal to a large investor base.
3. Most stocks pay a dividend. Dividend paying stocks are no longer a discrete sphere within the market, but increasingly the norm. Therefore, disparaging dividend stocks is in effect making a broad-based negative call on the market itself. An incremental increase in taxing dividends should not warrant such a wholesale anti-market reaction.
4. Even at higher tax rates, dividends still look very attractive compared with fixed income alternatives. The explosion of interest in dividends tracks the collapse of bond yields. Even taxed at higher rates, dividends would still be very competitive when stacked up against many fixed alternatives.
5. Companies generally raise their dividends over time. One of the great relative attractions of dividend stocks to fixed income investments is that many dividend paying companies regularly boost their dividend payout, providing a rising cash stream to investors. This should also help maintain the attractiveness of dividend stocks in a higher tax rate environment.
6. Strong, high quality dividend paying companies will remain attractive notwithstanding higher tax rates. The great, reliable dividend payers are valued in the market for a great many attributes beside their dividend yields. Competitive advantage, financial strength and consistency of earnings growth define many attractive dividend paying companies. Those attributes will not change in the wake of any legislation.
7. Higher dividend stocks have a self-correcting mechanism that helps to insulate them against dramatic declines. As a stock's price declines, its dividend yield rises. For investors who will continue to search for attractive income, a higher dividend yield becomes a lure to buy. Such buying ultimately helps prop up the price of a stock, and can provide a floor to its price.
Finally, let's remember some other important reasons why dividend stocks are attractive: they often tend to be more stable, less volatile stocks, a benefit that has been greatly sought after as markets lurch from macro-obsessions to bottom-up analyses.
So, while the upcoming tax changes creates near term uncertainty, there are a great many reasons to continue to like dividend paying stocks, even if the government gets a bigger piece of that pie.

Wii U Features All-New Attractions in Nintendo Land
Nintendo Land is a fun and lively theme park filled with 12 different attractions, each with its own take on a Nintendo franchise. Each attraction features unique and innovative game-play experiences made possible by the Wii U GamePad controller. Depending on the attraction, players can compete solo or against other players, or even team up to play cooperatively. Up to five players can participate in dynamic multiplayer modes in select attractions.* The experiences change every time, depending on whether players are using the GamePad, holding a Wii Remote or just watching others play on the TV screen.
Nintendo Land Features:
Donkey Kong's Crash Course: Using the GamePad's motion control, players tilt the controller to guide a fragile rolling cart through an obstacle course that resembles the original Donkey Kong arcade game. This single-player game lets other spectators watch the action on the TV and offer advice about how to pass the next obstacle.
Luigi's Ghost Mansion: The player with the GamePad is a ghost (invisible to others) who is trying to capture up to four humans armed with flashlights. The ghost must sneak around the environment by staying in the shadows and try to catch them one by one. The humans can work together to revive fallen comrades before the ghost catches everyone. If all four humans are caught before they are revived, the ghost wins. But if they are successful at shining their flashlights on the ghost long enough to reduce its hit points to zero, the humans win.
Animal Crossing™: Sweet Day: The player holding the Wii U GamePad controls two guards who are in charge of safeguarding a candy orchard from a group of candy-loving animals. Up to four other players, using the Wii Remote controllers to control these animals, must work together to outwit – and outrun – the guards. The game ends when a combined total of 50 pieces of candy are collected, or when the guards catch any one of the animals three times.
The Legend of Zelda™: Battle Quest: The player with the GamePad is an archer who can aim and shoot arrows using the screen as a view finder. That player is joined by up to three others who wield Wii Remote Plus controllers like swords. Players work together to take on a variety of enemies in a world that looks like a cloth version of a game from The Legend of Zelda series.
Takamaru's Ninja Castle: Based on an early Famicom game available only in Japan, this single-player game turns the GamePad into a launcher for ninja stars. Players swipe the controller's touch screen to take out an ever-growing army of ninja attackers, earning more points for consecutive hits. Moving the GamePad around at different angles enables the player to take aim in an intuitive fashion.

West, Smolinski provide instant impact
ARLINGTON -- The Rangers could use an immediate impact from some of their younger players. Outfielder Jake Smolinski and pitcher Matt West have done that.
Smolinski has had multiple hits in all three of his starts with the Rangers and is the first Ranger ever to record eight hits through his first four big league games. George Wright had seven in 1982.
Smolinksi left Friday's game with a left elbow contusion after getting hit by a pitch in the second inning. X-rays were negative.
Smolinski, who stays away from social media in an effort to keep his head down, said his agent broke the news to him Thursday night.
"I'm not really going to get caught up in the numbers," Smolinski said. "I feel like my mentality's good. I feel like I'm ready to compete at every bat ... and to hit every pitch."
West retired all six of the batters he faced Thursday night in his debut, becoming just the second Ranger in history to have a debut where he retired all of at least six batters faced. The first was Neftali Feliz in 2009.
"I'm trying to come in, get outs and throw strikes," West said. "Honestly it's kind of everything and more than you think it could be. You're trying to control your emotions when you get out there, but it's definitely a different feeling."

Allen County Council on Thursday is expected to consider incentives that would save Parco about $12,000 in taxes should it occupy a 55,000-square-foot building at 9100 Front St. The company would qualify for the two-year abatement through its reuse of an empty building. The structure has been vacant since 2012 until it was purchased at a sheriff's sale in December by Moon River, a real estate holding company working with Parco.
Founded more than 50 years ago, Parco specializes in extruded aluminum products and currently employs 18 people at its 16335 Lima Road plant with total salaries of $635,000. The new jobs would pay a total of $218,000. The company had sales of about $3 million last year.

Why include UNIVERSAL in the diagram?
Its presence doesn't clarify anything. The only thing it does is make the graph more difficult to read.
UNIVERSAL is included because I didn't deliberately exclude it. Not sure it makes the graph harder to read, though, as it ties things together nicely. Your mileage may vary

Back to active major leaguers - Cole Hamels
Still, listen to Dubee, and Manuel, and Hamels, and you can't help but give credence to their optimism. According to all parties, the now-26-year-old lefty reported to Clearwater in the best pitching shape of his career, the result of a new offseason throwing program designed to avoid the rust that plagued him last spring.
"I definitely feel more comfortable," Hamels said. "I don't think I'm going to have those aches and pains I had through spring training and not being able to start off the year the way I wanted to. I think this is going to be a really good year. With the teammates we have and the acquisition of Roy, it's pretty set up for some high success."

What I Love About Me: Manhattan
"Whether natural, pearlized, or matte, nails speak their own language," declares Tyen, creative director of makeup at Christian Dior, a couture house that embraced nail art very, very early on. Back in 1962, Dior debuted Nail Vernis, a collection of four lacquers in red (Monsieur Dior's signature shade) and nude. Fast-forward half a century and the polishes are still holding court, albeit via a motley mix.
To toast Vernis' 50th anniversary, Dior hosted a color-centric bash (think decadent cakes topped with kaleidoscopic sauces and a rainbow of fresh flowers) at The Hole gallery in NYC, tapping artist Holton Rower to create a custom piece inspired by five legendary Vernis shades. His medium? Acrylic paint doctored with opalescent pigments to mimic nail polish—which he live-poured, one coffee cupful at a time (85 total), into an 8-foot flowing masterpiece. Hole Creative Director Fabiola Beracasa feted the occasion in a more understated way: with a Rower-tribute mani. Bring on the finger paints!

Poker HandProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
Which set contains proportionately more flushes than the set of all possible poker hands?
(1) Hands whose first card is an ace
(2) Hands whose first card is the ace of spades
(3) Hands with at least one ace
(4) Hands with the ace of spades
AnswerAn arbitrary hand can have two aces but a flush hand can't. The average number of aces that appear in flush hands is the same as the average number of aces in arbitrary hands, but the aces are spread out more evenly for the flush hands, so set #3 contains a higher fraction of flushes.
Aces of spades, on the other hand, are spread out the same way over possible hands as they are over flush hands, since there is only one of them in the deck. Whether or not a hand is flush is based solely on a comparison between different cards in the hand, so looking at just one card is necessarily uninformative. So the other sets contain the same fraction of flushes as the set of all possible hands.

This is an attempt of mine not explore but to find. Years ago I met someone from mainland China who was Buddhist. We quickly very quickly met and established a friendship we did developed a bond. Years later I look back at this person with great fondness. I miss that affinity we had which gives me this search.
She was a Buddhists in thought and practice. Now here is the tricky part. Is there a sect of Buddhism that is also mystical? If so please tell me . For years I have had a ever increasing desire to learn more of her by knowing more of her faith. I have explored a Tibetan Buddhism near my home at least in what I found there is not the warmth that she reflected of her faith. No shame or discredit to them just was not the same.
Or just tell me to move on this is not the place for those kinds of shenanigans.

One of the bigger headaches of building a Lowrider is providing yourself with enough space to tear down and assemble it. Sure, there is always the driveway and garage of your home, but if you're not getting visits from your local code enforcement officer because you have a car in "disrepair" on your property, then you are probably getting grief from your family, as your project's body, spare parts, accessories or in-use tools are taking up every available space on your property. Many of the members of the San Gabriel Valley chapter of Old Memories Car Club found themselves with this common problem, and became frustrated without a decent place to work on their projects. Without a proper place to work, builds were taking too long, and this cancer was delaying the members' rides from hitting the streets and representing the club.
Chapter President Ray Vargas decided that he needed to come up with a solution for the problem, and took it upon himself to spring into action. The family home that Ray owned sat on a large piece of property in the San Gabriel Valley, and with plenty of space available, Ray came up with a plan. First, Ray had to run the plan by his family and get the okay to turn the family's property into a shop and meeting place for the club. Ray and his wife Maggie sat down and talked about Ray's plan to expand the family's home. He promised to add a set of garages that would be used to not only store his car collection, but to provide a place for the club to work on their projects as well. Despite the fact that there would be a lot of money spent, quality time lost and possible disruption to the family's activities while the expansion was taking place, Ray not only got the go ahead from his wife, his children were all for it as well.
Ray did not have to look far for an architect or general contractor for the project; one of his Old Memories club members is an architect and another one is a general contractor in the chapter. With the combined talents of these two members, the design phase began. After the plans were laid out and the city had given the green light, the build was underway. The transformation was completed inside of two short years.
After the dust settled, Ray had expanded his primary residence by adding additional rooms, a second story, and a large den area for the club to hold their meetings. Ray also added three 2-car garages and poured yards of concrete on the property, in order to provide plenty of parking spaces for the club members' rides. This space instantly brought an organization to the club's projects that made life better for all the members. The club has a white board on the wall of one of the garages that lists the projects that are in the works, and outlines what tasks need to be completed for each of the projects. There are chests full of tools and plenty of space to work on the club's latest builds. Ray also set aside an area of the property to store members' projects that have not been started yet.
On the day we visited, the build team was working on one of the club's latest projects. Busy members were installing glass, brakes and assembling engine components to yet another soon-to-be-classic ride. On any given day of the week and time of day, there is someone working on something at the Vargas residence. Because of the availability of the work spaces, there is no reason for a project to drag on, so members pitch in to help get the rides out of the shop and on the street as soon as possible to represent Old Memories.
The dedication Ray has to the San Gabriel Valley Chapter of Old Memories is evident by the money, blood, sweat, and tears he has poured into this expansion project. He has truly opened his home to his club, and a gesture like Ray's does not go unnoticed, nor unappreciated. The members expressed appreciation to Ray and his family for a place to work on their rides, and likewise, we appreciate the opportunity to see what few have seen outside of the club. Thanks to Ray Vargas, his family, and the San Gabriel Valley Chapter of Old Memories Car Club.

An arrhythmia is a disorder of the heart rate (pulse) or heart rhythm. The heart can beat too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or irregularly.
Abnormal heart rhythms; Bradycardia; Tachycardia
Normally, your heart works as a pump that brings blood to the lungs and the rest of the body.
To help this happen, your heart has an electrical system that makes sure it contracts (squeezes) in an orderly way.
Arrhythmias are caused by problems with the heart's electrical conduction system.
Some common causes of abnormal heartbeats are:
Arrhythmias may also be caused by some substances or drugs, including:
Sometimes medicines used to treat one type of arrhythmia will cause another type of abnormal heart rhythm.
Some of the more common abnormal heart rhythms are:
When you have an arrhythmia, your heartbeat may be:
An arrhythmia may be present all of the time or it may come and go. You may or may not feel symptoms when the arrhythmia is present. Or, you may only notice symptoms when you are more active.
Symptoms can be very mild, or they may be severe or even life-threatening.
Common symptoms that may occur when the arrhythmia is present include:
The doctor will listen to your heart with a stethoscope and feel your pulse. Your blood pressure may be low or normal.
Heart monitoring devices are often used to identify the rhythm problem, such as a:
Other tests may be done to look at heart function:
A special test, called an electrophysiology study (EPS), is done to take a closer look at the heart's electrical system.
When an arrhythmia is serious, you may need urgent treatment to restore a normal rhythm. This may include:
Sometimes, better treatment for your angina or heart failure will lower your chance of having an arrhythmia.
Medicines called anti-arrhythmic drugs may be used:
Some of these medicines can have side effects. Take them as prescribed by your health care provider. Do not stop taking the medicine or change the dose without first talking to your health care provider.
Other treatments to prevent or treat abnormal heart rhythms include:
The outcome depends on several factors:
Call your health care provider if:
Taking steps to prevent coronary artery disease may reduce your chance of developing an arrhythmia.

Marlins bolster pitching, call up DeSclafani
MIAMI -- At some point in the second half, the Marlins were expecting to recall pitching prospect Anthony DeSclafani. Ideally, they were hoping it would be at a later date.
But because the bullpen is thin after just two games since the All-Star break, the Marlins on Sunday recalled DeSclafani from Triple-A New Orleans, and optioned infielder Ed Lucas to New Orleans.
Miami now is carrying 13 pitchers and just 12 position players, meaning manager Mike Redmond will be working with a short bench for at least a couple of games.
"We needed a guy who can pitch multiple innings," Redmond said. "We've had to use all those guys the first two games of the series, which we weren't anticipating."
The bullpen has been called into service because Miami's starters worked a total of 6 2/3 innings in the first two games of the series with the Giants at Marlins Park. On Friday, Nathan Eovaldi was lifted after four-plus innings, because he was tagged for eight runs.
Henderson Alvarez on Saturday was lifted after 2 2/3 innings due to a left shin injury. Alvarez was struck just above the ankle by a comeback shot off the bat of Joe Panik in the third inning.
Sam Dyson, the primary long reliever on the squad, threw 70 pitches in 3 1/3 innings. He won't be available for a few games.
Lucas, who had been seeing starting time at second base, became the choice to send down to New Orleans. Jordany Valdespin was called up Saturday, and he has made two straight starts at second.
"It's not perfect. It's not ideal," Redmond said. "Obviously, we lose a position player, so we're going to play short a position player, which is not a perfect scenario. But we need the pitching."
DeSclafani made five starts in the first half for Miami, posting a 1-2 record and a 7.40 ERA.
"We know he has quality stuff. He knows that," Redmond said. "When he gets in there, we need him to throw strikes and eat up innings."

New man's name emerges in Andrea Sneiderman case
DeKalb prosecutors want to talk with a man they say may be living with Andrea Sneiderman. Defense attorneys describe Joseph Dell as a close friend who has given invaluable support to Sneiderman since her husband's murder.
Dell's name emerged on the record on Friday during a court hearing.
Prosecutors told a judge Joseph Dell's name has come up as they continue to investigate the 2010 killing of Sneiderman's husband Rusty.
A jury found Hemy Neuman guilty but mentally ill of fatally shooting Rusty outside a Dunwoody daycare center in November 2010.
Prosecutors say they now want to call Dell to the stand.
"We believe it credible that Mr. Dell left his wife six months pregnant, about six and a half months after the murder of Rusty, and at that time openly took up a relationship with the defendant," said DeKalb County prosecutor Don Geary. "I believe they live in the same residence."
Defense attorneys say Sneiderman and Dell are close friends. They even conceded that Dell picks up Andrea' young children from school since she is confined to the house. But defense attorneys say talk of anything more is nonsense.
"The civil attorney in this case have set forth a theory which is, I would categorize as somewhat fanciful, about how Ms. Sneiderman has craftily manipulated one person into killing her husband, with the expectation not that she would wind up with that individual, but that she would wind up yet with another individual," said defense attorney Tom Clegg.
But prosecutors say Neuman may have been used.
"Given that Mr. Neuman claimed, not that he didn't commit the murder -- that was clear -- but he did so being manipulated by this defendant…and evidence is starting to come up that might show that it was not for Mr. Neuman to be with the defendant, but for someone else. Mr. Dell might be that someone else," said Geary.
If Dell becomes a witness in this case, Andrea Sneiderman would be barred from contact with him. The defense made it clear on Friday that they don't want that to happen. A judge said that a ruling will be made very soon.

Cool baby names today may reference celebrities, sure, but more and more parents are looking to fictional characters for inspiration when naming their children.
Based on nearly two million visits to Nameberry's individual name pages over the past three months, we see these character names — from classic literature and futuristic fantasy, Old Hollywood films and modern animation — attracting big jumps in interest.
This is one cool baby names trend that makes sense. Fictional characters embody positive, uplifting qualities that their mortal counterparts often fall short on. And in the ever-broadening search for names with personal meaning, parents may find referencing a favorite book or film to be a perfect way to make an important style statement and give their child a namesake to look up to.
Here, the hottest character names on Nameberry right now:

It appears the water needs for the proposed Monterey Downs development are no longer the Marina Coast Water District's problem.
Board members decided Tuesday not to revote on the district's water-assessment study, setting in motion the next step: an environmental impact study by Seaside.
Director Howard Gustafson said the district's actions would put the ball in Seaside's court and it would likely be a drawn-out process anyway.
"It's not my concern how they use their water," he said of Seaside. "... Let me tell you, initial phase, there's going to be a lawsuit."
Opponents of the project have argued the amount of water allotted for the first phase of the project, 852 acre-feet per year, is more than Seaside has to give.
Tuesday's special meeting was called by board President Dan Burns for discussion of labor negotiations, engineering services and desalination plans, General Manager Jim Heitzman said.
Director Ken Nishi had asked to reconsider the Downs vote and three others, according to the district's interim legal counsel, Roger K. Masuda.
No directors motioned to overturn any vote Nishi asked to reconsider. He declined to answer questions from a Herald reporter after the meeting.
Another issue, the one-year contract extension of General Manager Jim Heitzman, also was not reconsidered.
Heitzman said after the meeting his salary, which was approved at a previous meeting, remains at $240,000 a year.
The board did take some action. Directors voted to begin negotiations with Marina Water Alliance — a group made up of construction, architectural and desalination companies — for their proposed desalination plant.
Heitzman said they must still figure out the timeline, terms of the contract and total compensation before the board approves a final contract.

Risky Business
Part 2: "It has to do with individual risk. Obtaining insurance depends on the past experience of the boat owner."
By Mike Smith — July 2004
Owners planning a transatlantic trip should know that insurance is much less expensive if they ship their yacht rather than send her over on her own bottom. "But you must buy cargo insurance," warns Lincoln. "Once the yacht is aboard a ship, it becomes cargo and is no longer covered by a yacht policy." He adds that insurance for a float-on/float-off yacht transporter costs less than half that for deck cargo. "The damage usually comes when the yacht's being on- and off-loaded, and float-on carriage is much less risky," he explains.
Marine insurance brokers I spoke with in other parts of the country echoed Lloyd's assessment. "The [insurance] problem never got to powerboats run by crews. Even in windstorm areas, underwriters felt that the crew would be able to move the boat to a safe area," says Lee Judd, president of Hinckley Marine Insurance in Southwest Harbor, Maine. (Hinckley Marine Insurance is a division of Marsh U.S.A., the largest insurance broker in the world.) Nor should owners of smaller trawler yachts be concerned about obtaining cruising coverage: "Trawlers aren't really a problem, because the owners tend to stay aboard," Judd continues. "It's when an owner from Montana, say, keeps his boat in a marina in Florida unattended for half the year that there's a problem."
On the West Coast, Gary Clausen of Twin Rivers Marine Insurance Agency in Antioch, California, says, "It's not about the boat, but the individual. It has to do with individual risk. Obtaining insurance depends on the past experience of the boat owner." He adds that he can find insurance even for inexperienced skippers, although the insurance company might require they take a pro with them at first to teach them the ropes and/or get some kind of training up-front. "Some companies will write any policy, but in the past five, six, or seven years it's gotten a lot harder," he adds. "The best advice is, find a good broker, then let the broker work the deal. Insurance is more than just writing the policy."
Clausen points out that geographical limits on insurance policies are handled differently on the West Coast than on the East. While some insurers will write policies good for everywhere on the East and Gulf Coasts, from northern Maine to Brownsville, Texas (often with some limitations added during hurricane season), on the West Coast limits are more restrictive because conditions change dramatically as you travel north and south. "What the limits are depends on the company writing the policy. One company will give you the whole U.S. West Coast to southern Alaska, but not Mexico; another will cover you into Mexico even during Chubasco season [summer]. Some East Coast companies will write all-West-Coast policies without knowing the conditions." Most insurers want at least three crew members on passages involving legs of more than 12 hours, he adds.
When it comes to yacht insurance, Clausen concludes, "It's not like, ...I've got a '63 Chevy and I need insurance.' All policies are not the same, especially when it comes to how partial losses are paid. A policy that gives all-West-Coast coverage might have different partial-loss payout rules than another with limited geographic coverage. It's important to discuss this with your agent beforehand. The content of the policy is everything."
Based on what these experts say, I'd advise boaters to stop worrying about losing their insurance and start thinking about how to afford their next boat. Unless you have an arm-long history of claims or are planning to set sail for Tahiti in a '68 rustbucket with only your significant other as crew, buying insurance shouldn't be high on your list of worries.

Now that the kiddie holiday is behind us (nothing against you, Santa!) it's time to focus on the grown up one…bring on that New Year's Eve party spread!
We love treating ourselves to the most special seafood on New Years and have the following available in the Market:
-Whole live oysters, perfect with a squeeze of lemon or dressed up with a simple mignonette
-Fresh Maine lobsters that come to us live, and our chefs have boiled in a court bouillon so they're ready to serve
-Two kinds of sustainable American caviar from California Caviar Company: Paddlefish caviar ($35/oz) and California White Sturgeon ($75/oz)
Our full New Years Menu is available for pickup in the store or pre-order with 48 hours' notice; make it easy on yourself and serve our chefs' Creamy Prawn Bisque with Meyer Lemon and Fresh Tarragon, Quinoa with Butternut Squash and Roasted Mushrooms, Pecan-Apricot Bread Stuffing, and more.
Nothing says "End of 2012" like a good sparkly toast, and for that we have you well covered. Here are three of our favorite bottles of sparkly for New Year's Eve
NV Terres Dorées Cremant de Bourgogne – $22.99
Jean-Paul Brun is one of our favorite Beaujolais producers who also makes a killer bottle of bubbly! This is a Blanc de Blancs, (literally 'white of whites') meaning it's made entirely of Chardonnay, one of the three primary grapes in Champagne. And while this a Cremant, as in a sparkling wine made outside of the designated Champagne area of France, it certainly makes a great stand-in for true Champagne at a much more affordable price point. Jean-Paul Brun is one of those producers committed to organic farming, using only native yeasts and minimal additions of sulfur. This wine is sure to impress with aromas of lemon and biscuits, with a lush, minerally, dry finish.
NV Voirin-Jumel Grand Cru Champagne – $39.99
Domaine Voirin-Jumel is located in the village of Cramant (not to be confused with the term Cremant), which is one of the 17 villages in Champagne with Grand Cru status. Cramant literally means 'mound of chalk' and refers to the snowy looking chalk soils of this area that play an important role in both contributing minerality to the grapes as well as regulating temperature by reflecting light and heat in this generally cooler area. This Grand Cru bottling is a great value with lush aromas of apricot, white flowers, and lemon. A soft stone fruit component and long minerally finish make this the perfect wine to toast 2013 (at half the price of Veuve-Cliquot)!
NV Marie Courtin Résonance Champagne – $54.99
Like Cedric Bouchard, Dominique Moreau is one of those up-and-coming wine makers in the southern region of Champagne known as the Aube. She named her Domaine after her great-grandmother Marie Courtin, who often helped her work the vines. She's a rogue producer, going against everything typical in big 'house Champagne' by bottling biodynamically-grown, single-vineyard, single-varietal, single-vintage Champagnes with no dosage, and use of native yeasts. And the results are remarkable: her Résonance is 100% Pinot Noir, fermented in stainless steel, and has complex aromas of peaches, quince, and almonds. A lush and full texture with a bone-dry finish make this the perfect pairing with a decadent New Year's dinner!

In an NHL trade market without much to offer, Capitals center Mike Ribeiro could be one of the more intriguing names available—if the Capitals decide to sell.
Ribeiro, a pending free agent, told the Washington Times he would like to remain with the Capitals.
"If we can agree to a long-term [contract], then I'll be more than happy to stay here," Ribeiro told the newspaper.
Ribeiro went on to tell the paper what he thinks a long-term deal is.
"Five years for me is long term. Two, three years, I don't think it's long term. It's short term," Ribeiro added.
The veteran center also told the newspaper that the team approached him and his agent about a possible extension last month, but he didn't think it was the right time to talk about it. With the trade deadline now just over a week away (April 3), Ribeiro says "there will be big decisions next week to be made."
Ribeiro, 33, leads the Capitals in points with 34 and has been a key offensive performer for a team that entered Monday's action just two points behind the eighth-place New York Rangers.

Disqus Comments
Posted 25 September 2011 - 12:28 PM
I've decided to give them a try on some parts of my site. So far I am impressed. I mostly like the fact that I can now add commenting to even the static (i.e. non-Wordpress) pages in my site.
My main concern is what would happen if disqus ever decided to call it quits. Do I lose all of my comments?
I see that a good number of the SEO related blogs that I follow are implementing disqus so this is what motivated me to give it a try.
What do you think?
Posted 25 September 2011 - 12:54 PM
I think that your concern about the longevity of the company is valid.
The history of the internet is a story of small service providers popping up and offering a service only to fail and disappear. I know a guy who had a PR7 site built on the aol "hometown" subdomain... when they closed that he lost his site an a massive amount of traffic with no opportunity to redirect.
Have you considered Facebook Connect?
Posted 25 September 2011 - 12:57 PM
However, I can't for the life of me see anywhere where I can moderate these comments. Plus, they are not searchable by search engines. (I have read of a way to override this but haven't put any time into fixing it yet.)
Disqus seems to add more benefits on top of Facebook as well. If an article gets shared on Twitter then this person's avatar is added to my page. The moderation of comments is very intuitive. Plus, people can comment using a number of different personas such as Twitter, FB, Wordpress and more.
Posted 25 September 2011 - 01:28 PM
Disqus seems indeed to be better for SEO.
Posted 25 September 2011 - 01:38 PM
This is very cool as before I wouldn't have thought to Tweet the page. The other cool thing is that when I log into disqus it shows me what pages I've "liked". So, I can use it as a sort of bookmarking as well.
LOL...now I'm sounding like a disqus commercial.

Basically you would need to:
See also:
1. Set up a datastore so you can store comments locally.
2. Synchronize comments from Disqus to your datastore.
3. Fetch and render comments on pages.

For some reason I thought that the comments were automatically indexable. I didn't realize you had to use the API - will look into that now.
Does anyone know if you can use disqus for pages with dynamic urls? I suppose it wouldn't be hard for me to test. But I have a few thousand pages on my site that are the same url with ?id=xxxx added to the url. I'd love to be able to have comments on these pages that I can moderate!

I don't have an opinion on whether Disqus will help you connect with more users or not. I would say its advantages exist mostly on the administrative side of things.
Posted 29 September 2011 - 04:06 PM
To elaborate on what iamlost mentioned earlier in this thread, our WordPress plugin already renders comments server-side so manually rendering comments server-side -- e.g., by following our Data synchronization guide -- is redundant/unnecessary. Our MovableType, Drupal, and Blogger integrations/plugins also offer an option to sync comments from Disqus back to the respective platform so they can be rendered server-side with a little extra love as well.
If you're not using one of those platforms, rendering comments server-side is the process you'd perform so comments can be seen by search engines. The easiest way is by using above-linked guide.
Hope that helps clarify things a bit. Feel free to continue the conversation here or shoot us a message at http://disqus.com/support or http://twitter.com/disqus if we ever lend a hand with anything, SEO-related or otherwise.

WHEN you think of Hollywood, you probably don't think of Oxfordshire.
But the county is starting to gather pace on Tinsel Town.
And one of the key players has been film producer Damian Jones, who is from the West Oxfordshire village of Church Hanborough.
- Gugu Mbatha-Raw, centre, talks to Caroline Organ-Jennings, left, and Eleonore Organ-Jennings outside the Cineworld cinema in Witney ahead of a special screening of Belle in June
By chance Gugu Mbatha-Raw, the actress who brought his film Belle to life, was born and grew up in Witney.
Many see something Jane Austen-esque about Belle, about a mixed-race woman in 1780s England. The film couldn't have had a more British conception.
A painting featured on BBC's Antiques Roadshow that intrigued his wife, set Mr Jones on the six-year movie-making project.
There was clearly quite a story behind the unsigned painting depicting two attractive, beautifully outfitted young women, perfectly relaxed together, one white and one black.
Both peer at the viewer, the dark girl smiling impishly with a finger to her cheek, while the other – resting from her book – absent-mindedly takes her companion's arm.
What made it so fascinating to Mr Jones, was that this painting was created in 1799, in a Georgian Society where black women in society were pretty well unknown.
He said: "The painting happened to be situated at Kenwood House in north London and at around the same time I came across it during a visit.
"The women are stunning but the picture is completely ambiguous. You cannot tell whether they are friends, perhaps one a servant and the other a visitor. The clothing is exotic and they are touching. I think it is fair to say most portraits of the period do not feature black people, unless they are slaves or servants."
When he began delving into the story of behind the picture, it emerged that the two girls were in fact sisters, both adopted, and raised by the aristocratic great-uncle Lord Mansfield – and Mr Jones immediately knew that he had found the subject of his next film, the period drama Belle, which opened at UK cinemas last month.
Discovering Dido Belle, the illegitimate mixed-race daughter of a Royal Navy Admiral, was a welcome stroke of good fortune for Mr Jones, Bafta-winning producer of The Iron Lady and The History Boys.
But during the shoot for Belle, Mr Jones' mother Liz Gasiorowska said he was dealt the devastating blow of the death of his twin sister.
Selina Jones, a film scriptwriter, died two years ago, aged 47, at the Michael Sobell Hospice, Oxford.
Mrs Gasiorowska said that Ms Jones had been diagnosed aged seven with the degenerative disease Friedreich's Ataxia. Mr Jones has dedicated Belle to her.
But after battling on through to finish a spectacular film, Mr Jones has even more projects, still with Oxfordshire links, on the cards.
The film producer, who will be 50 later this year, is now busy on two eagerly awaited films. His version of Dad's Army, based on the classic British TV sitcom about the Home Guard, will star Toby Jones, the actor from Charlbury, who will play the pompous, diminutive Captain Mainwaring, with Bill Nighy as the taciturn Sergeant Wilson.
Mr Jones said the "universal appeal" of Dad's Army had convinced him the time was right for Captain Mainwaring and Co to invade the big screen.
He is also making Lady in the Van, written by Alan Bennett, and starring Dame Maggie Smith.
Mr Jones originally fell into the film business seemingly by accident.
Having gone to France to work in a bar to improve his language skills, after finishing his politics and history degree at Warwick University, he took the opportunity to work as a "runner" on the set of Frantic, the Harrison Ford thriller set in Paris.
"I was getting the tea, coffee, doing reception work," he said. But crucially he experienced what went on on a film set.
With Frantic on his CV, Mr Jones was able get his foot in the door at Working Title Films, the British production company behind Four Weddings and a Funeral and Shaun of the Dead.
He worked his way up the ladder as a production assistant. But at an early stage he recognised there were three jobs that really counted: lead actor, director and producer.
Mr Jones said: "Well, I quickly realised that I couldn't act, did not have a clue what directing was but I was good at spotting interesting and talented people as well as organisation and making things happen."
He set himself the task of making a short film, The Candy Shop, with a friend. "I spent two years raising the money for a film that took two weeks to shoot. I went to anyone I knew who was wealthy, as well as the traditional film sources. I even turned to my granny. You have to expect 99 'nos' but you only need one 'yes'." The film won the 1990 BAFTA Award for Best Short Film and on the strength of this he moved to Hollywood.
Over the next few years he produced films ranging from Michael Winterbottom's Welcome to Sarajevo, which was nominated for the Golden Palm at Cannes, to Gridlock'd, which starred Tim Roth and Tupac Shakur.
After 10 years he returned home and the subjects of two of his best known films could hardly have been more English: Sex & Drugs and Rock & Roll, telling the story of rocker Ian Dury, and The Iron Lady, featuring Meryl Streep's Oscar-winning performance as Margaret Thatcher.
- Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady
- DAMIAN'S family set up home in the West Oxfordshire village of Church Hanborough 30 years ago
- His mum Liz Gasiorowska still lives in the village
- He took a degree in politics and history at Warwick and ended up in the movie business by accident, after travelling to Paris to work in a bar
- His first job involved making the tea on the set of the Roman Polanski film Frantic, which starred Harrison Ford
- He won an award for his first short film The Candy Shop – it took just a fortnight to make
- The list of films he has produced include The Iron Lady, The History Boys, Millions, Adulthood, Fast Girls and Sex & Drugs and Rock & Roll s He is currently making a film version of the TV classic Dad's Army.
- Sam Mendes, right, with Judi Dench and crew on the set of Skyfall
- DAMIAN Jones is one of an impressive array of Oxonians to have made a career in the movies, both in front of and behind the camera.
- Sam Mendes, who directed the Oscar-winning American Beauty and the James Bond film Skyfall, went to school in the city.
- Stars from Oxford include Tom Hollander and Harry Potter actor Emma Watson, while Toby Jones, who appears in the new Dad's Army film, comes from Charlbury.
- Actors who went to Oxford University include Kate Beckinsale, Hugh Grant, Robert Hardy, Rosamund Pike and Michael York.
- John Thaw as a well-read Inspector Morse
- SCENES from Belle were filmed in Catte Street, Oxford, and in the Bodleian Library's Clarendon Quadrangle.
- The city has long been a favourite setting for film makers.
- Oxford has been used as a backdrop for some of the Harry Potter films, The Oxford Murders in 2007, and a movie version of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited.
- Cameras came to the city to record scenes for A Fish Called Wanda, The Madness of King George, Heaven's Gate, The Golden Compass and the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies.
- And on the small screen, Oxford was the setting for Inspector Morse, starring the late John Thaw, its follow-up Lewis, with Kevin Whately in the title role, and the prequel series Endeavour, featuring Shaun Evans as a young Morse.
- A little further afield, Bampton is home to the outdoor scenes of ITV's hit period drama, Downton Abbey.
