Born at the wrong time
If we could bring William Shakespeare, Amadeus Mozart and Giuseppe Verdi back from the dead, I wonder if they would take advantage of the liberties enjoyed by present-day playwrights and composers.
They are famous for involving political statements and agendas in their plays and operas. However, they had to be careful. Freedom of speech had yet to be an accepted concept when they were alive.
When we think about the fodder for political satire available today, I am sure that Shakespeare would have a field day.
I can see him looking at the Clinton administration and possibly producing "Bubba," starring Meatloaf and some unknown actress as Monica.
Then he could go back to the Nixon years and write "Richard the Stain" as a sequel to his "Richard III" of long ago.
The comedian Sinbad could play Marion Barry, the former crack-addicted mayor of Washington, D.C. When the police arrested him for drunken driving, they let him go – unpunished. Shakespeare could name the mini drama "Oh Fellow," as a tribute to "Othello." It would be kind of an "Othello" light.
I am sure Mozart would have fun with the George W. Bush administration. He could call his modern opera, "Bush League." The subtitle could be, "The Wasted Years," a testament to Bush's checkered past, as well as his time in the White House.
In modern times, using music and song to make political statements is common practice. The days of penning grand operas and plays to inspire political change are long past.
The authors and composers who were bold enough to write about their political convictions during the Renaissance (1300- 1500) to the Baroque period (1600-1750) and beyond were careful not to offend royalty. The penalties for even mild mockery of the throne could have been severe.
Mozart was the first to boldly venture into the forbidden territory of making fun of the nobility when he wrote his 1787 opera, "Don Giovanni."
The story was about an amorous nobleman who pursued a woman who was betrothed. He ended up murdering her father and escaped with impunity.
Even then, Mozart was careful to create a work of fiction to emphasize the broad liberties afforded the aristocracy.
All of the great tragedies and dramas like Shakespeare's "Macbeth" and "King Lear," as well as "Othello," were fictional.
"Rigoletto," one of Giuseppe Verdi's later masterpieces about treachery within the nobility, undoubtedly tested the patience of the royal class. That opera was first performed in 1851. When it received universal acclaim, Verdi wrote his 1867 work, "Don Carlos," one of his greatest efforts.
Verdi used the Dutch fight for freedom within the "Don Carlos" libretto to inspire Italian nationalism, a courageous political statement at the time.
Although the liberty to directly criticize the highest officials of the free world is available to all, not many modern works have realized success. I suppose "Hair," and perhaps "X," the musical and movie about Malcolm X, enjoyed popularity. "Hair" was not so much of a political statement as it was a societal awakening.
"Evita," the musical about Eva Peron, realized a modicum of success outside of Argentina, the country where Peron ruled. However, Argentineans found the play highly offensive.
The classics like "Macbeth," "Don Giovanni" and "Othello" have survived for centuries. I doubt that "X," "Hair" or "Evita" will be performed 200 years from now.
In Shakespeare's day, even though Macbeth was a work of fiction and bore no relation to actual Scottish history, some felt the play was cursed and would not speak its name. Apparently, Macbeth was the name of a real Scottish monarch who was admired and revered as an able ruler, and Shakespeare chanced portraying him in a poor light.
Those who feared the curse referred to the work as "The Scottish Play."
Many of the playwrights, composers and librettists used mythological characters in their works to remove any doubt that they were not insulting a royal family.
Although the characters were mythological, many were more believable than the real-life world leaders of today.
The treachery of the Nixon administration and the personal vendetta allegedly tied to the Bush terms in office certainly hold their own against the fictional plots of bygone eras.
Perhaps the day-to-day drama in today's political arena is more interesting as real life than it would be in a stage play. Politics are hugely responsible for why we live in a system we can't understand.

It's been a while since I updated my blog – yesterday marked the start of Challenge 3 of my yearly challenge – Make 2014 Your Goal Year. Challenge 2 went the wrong way entirely – I gained 10lbs (partly due to being in holiday mode for a good four weeks!) I did have a great holiday and all the yummy food was worth it, I'm slowly getting rid of the gain but still struggling. Once I came home from my holiday, I was still eating unhealthily. It took me a while until I could get back the motivation to continue one.
I'm back to where I started. But maybe this is a good thing? Maybe I needed to get back to my heaviest to realise how much I actually do want this. My biggest problem is that I know I want this and I want to be slim and have a healthy lifestyle, but I just struggle to stay motivated.
I've been at this for two years nearly now and it's back and forward all the time. At first, I did well but after that it was up and down. It does get frustrating and I can make up a million reasons why this was the case but at the end of the day it is down to me and I have to learn how to balance food and exercise. After I did gain the weight after my holiday, I didn't enjoy looking at myself in the mirror. I was getting annoyed at myself for having no control over food anymore. I don't know if this is a serious problem or just something I really just need to teach myself to do. Either way, I'm back again and trying again…
I went to the gym for the first time since February during the last week. It was definitely a struggle but I really want this – I just want to be happy in my own skin and with my body. And I will have to work for it. I know it will become easier as I go, but I've gone a 3 times during this week (and about to head there in a while before lunch) and it's been tough each time. Naturally, I can understand this. I've been away from the gym for a while now. I'm hoping it will get easier each time.
Onwards and upwards from now on! And that means no looking back. I gained back any weight I had lost and I'm back to square one. I've started Challenge 3 today. My goal is 140lbs – a loss of 12lbs! Hopefully Challenge 3 will be where I can finally commit myself to this and I will see a real change in myself. 12lbs might be a stretch but I have a target in might that I would really like to reach.

Hawks, Wild ready for Game 2 adjustments
Hawks, Wild ready for Game 2 adjustments
The playoffs are when you need your best players to be your best players.
The Minnesota Wild found that out the hard way in Game 1 of its best-of-seven series against the Blackhawks when their top line of Mikko Koivu, Zack Parise and Charlie Coyle was held without a point and had just 5 shots on goal.
Hawks coach Joel Quenneville used defensemen Duncan Keith and Niklas Hjalmarsson against the Koivu line along with his top line of Jonathan Toews, Marian Hossa and Brandon Saad.
"They (Keith and Hjalmarsson) did a nice job," Quenneville said. "They defended well and their gap was good. A lot of times you've got Johnny out there as well, so you're not always defending.
"They're still going to get chances against you. You just want to make sure they're few and the quality is down."
Toews won 18 of 26 faceoffs, which is where Parise felt the problems started for his line.
"They're the type of team that if you don't win the draw against them, you could be chasing the puck the whole shift," Parise said.
Making the adjustments for Game 2 on Friday will be a key for both teams.
"I was going to look at a little of the film, of our lines and shifts," Parise said. "We had too many what I call one-and-done plays, where we get into the zone and try to make a play and it gets broken up and we're back out of our zone.
"We'll have to see and find things we can do a little better and hold onto the puck a little more. That's been one of our strengths this season, of our line, is getting the puck down low, and I don't think we did a very good job of that."
Toews downplayed his role in shutting down Parise, Koivu and Coyle.
"It didn't matter what line was out there against those guys," Toews said. "We were always conscious of who was on the ice, knowing those guys are very dangerous and can play a lot of minutes.
"You've got to try and make it as tough as you can on those guys."
Hossa said there is no magic formula for shutting down the Wild's top line.
"You cannot give them too much room," Hossa said. "They're strong on their skates and are speedy guys. They're really quick; one little mistake and those guys turn it around. If you give them a little extra room, they'll find a way to score."
In Toews and Hossa, the Hawks have two Selke Trophy candidates on one line.
"Hossa is a top player who complements our team game, how we need to play and how we should play," Quenneville said. "The way he checks and pursues pucks defensively is as good as anybody in the game. He puts a lot of pressure on our opponents to not have a lot of time. It's tough to make plays under that type of pressure."
The matchup Wild coach Mike Yeo wants is defenseman Ryan Suter on the ice against Toews and Hossa.
Suter played more than 41 minutes in the 2-1 overtime win in Game 1.
"I felt like he was out there against everybody," Hossa said. "That's a huge portion of time on the ice. He's a great defenseman and he's going to play against the best lines.
"It seems like it's going to be like that so we have to find a way to get around him or try to make those minutes feel longer for him."

(BPT) – Guys often keep their schedules packed full during the fall and winter months. Between the traditional work meetings, the sports game gatherings and all the holiday season activities, a man should be prepared to look his best at any given moment.
Because the season is so busy, men don't want to spend much time keeping up their appearances, but still want to look great. Here are some easy tips from lifestyle expert and founder of MensStylePro.com, Sabir Peele, to help accomplish your best look – clothing and beyond:
* Find a great scent for the fall. Your style extends beyond how you look, and a great cologne leaves a lasting impression.
* Slim down your wallet and opt for a card case that has a money clip attached. There's nothing less stylish than having to pull out a bulky wallet full of receipts, when you only need a few twenties and your credit card.
* For the frequent traveler, keep a small needle and thread in your travel bag. You'll never know when you'll lose a button.
* If you're going to invest in shoes, go for a pair of plain or cap toe shoes in brown for the fall and winter months.
* Forget hiding behind a beard – a nice, clean-shaven face is the way to go. "I always make sure I save time to shave if I know I'm going to be making an appearance somewhere," Peele says. "Surprisingly, one of the most important steps of shaving takes place after you shave the hair. I always follow up the shave with a moisturizing alcohol-free balm that caters to sensitive skin like NIVEA MEN Sensitive Post Shave Balm. It immediately calms the skin and leaves it looking refreshed and healthy."

Taxes, sewers in spotlight of Ward 8 campaign
Two campaign veterans – one who seeks to return to elective office and the other for whom this is her first bid for office – are vying for the Ward 8 council seat.
Joseph Gallucci is looking to win back a seat he held 18 years ago. He's running as a Democrat. The Republican candidate Lyn Jennings is a self-employed salon owner who spearheaded opposition to Governor Lincoln Chafee's tax plan two years ago and, basically, won.
"It's going fabulous," she said of her campaign. "I'm out walking, meeting everybody – there are so many constituents that have said, 'No one's ever knocked on my door.' It's really refreshing to see the interaction and people are involved and excited about voting in November. The vibe has been really good. I'm really excited."
Gallucci served as Ward 8 councilman from 1977 to 1984 and again from 1990 to 1994, serving as council president for much of the time. In 1984, he ran for mayor, though lost in a primary to former Mayor Frank Flaherty.
This past February, Gallucci retired as the director of elections from the Board of Canvassers after more than 15 years of service.
These days, he said he's been walking the ward, although he's careful to time his sorties.
"I don't go at suppertime and I don't go when there's a Patriots game on," he said. "I don't want to interfere with their privacy. For the most part, people say, 'I'm glad you stopped by.'"
As he has said since he first declared in May, Gallucci plans to focus on public health, safety and welfare if elected, though he was mum on specifics.
He recently visited Sparrow's Point, as well as Shalom Apartments, both elderly housing residences, for breakfasts and lunches to meet with residents. With 47,000 seniors in the city, Gallucci said he's interested in lending them a hand.
Similarly, Jennings has also visited the complexes. Most recently, she said she accompanied Mayor Scott Avedisian to Sparrow's Point a few times for a clam cake and chowder lunch.
In addition to seniors, Jennings said one of her biggest concerns has to do with sewers. According to her, constituents have been complaining about sewers, or lack thereof, extensively.
Also, she views the fact that Gallucci serves on the Kent County Water Authority as a conflict of interest. In a recent article that ran in the Beacon, she was critical of him, questioning his loyalty to taxpayers.
"I've lived in Warwick for 17 years and I never realized how many communities within my ward don't have sewers," said Jennings. "Some of the residents have owned their homes for 30 or 40 years and were promised sewers back when they bought their homes. These communities aren't able to tie into sewers and after doing a little research with the Sewer Authority, there's nothing even planned on the books until 2020. There's a public need for sewers and they should have access."
Gallucci is also interested in expanding sewer services to the western part of the city, including Wards 7, 8, and 9, with a primary focus on Ward 8 because the ward makes up at least 30 percent of Warwick's tax base, he said.
"It's all engineered and ready to go; they just don't have the funds," Gallucci said. "Water lines are in progress and will probably be finished before the winter. We'll do the paving and maybe the sewer lines can be installed so the whole area can be taken care of."
As noted, Gallucci is concerned about public safety and said potholes need to be addressed. Additionally, constituents have let him know that speeding is an issue.
For Jennings, she's noticed some "pretty bad roads" that are "falling apart" during her walks of the ward.
"As far as I know right now, there's no repaving being done because there's no money being put away for infrastructure and to me, that's a big issue," she said. "We pay high property taxes and there should be money for infrastructure. If you can't keep up with that, everything starts to crumble and some of these roads are doing just that."
Other major issues, said Jennings, are car taxes and property taxes. During the summer of 2011, Jennings attended many of the car tax meetings held at City Hall and noted that many citizens "came out in droves" to voice their opinions.
The important factor, said Jennings, is for people to realize that the General Assembly and the state stopped giving each of the cities funding and left it up to the City Council to set the exemptions.
"Warwick, unfortunately, chose to set it at the bare minimum and people came out and expressed themselves," she said. "They were highly irate. I feel that the mayor listened and raised the exemption to $2,000. I personally would like to see it raised to $3,000 next year and I think we really need to look at how the cars are valued. I don't think that the value index that they are using is comparable to what people actually own."
As far as property taxes, she said for all the years she's lived in Warwick, 17 years to be exact, there hasn't been a year without a property tax increase.
"This year, it ended up being about 1 percent of the total budget," Jennings said, who moved to Warwick from Providence. "I honestly feel that that 1 percent could have been found within the budget. The taxpayers needed relief and that didn't happen. I would like to see in the future the budget gone over, line by line, and where savings can be met so we can give the taxpayers some major relief."
For Gallucci, the needs of veterans are paramount. Along with Ward 3 Councilwoman Camille Vella-Wilkinson, Gallucci is trying to better inform veterans about services that will benefit them.
At the top of their list is Homes for the Brave, a program in conjunction with Wells Fargo and Helping Hands Community Partners, a Massachusetts-based non-profit organization that aims to help veterans pre-qualify for loans and match them with refurbished Veteran Administration (VA) approved homes.
Additionally, Wells Fargo, the number one VA lender, has agreed to waive application fees.
"The program is excellent," Gallucci said. "It's an attempt to help veterans and returning veterans. We have about 4,500 veterans in the city who are veterans according to the tax status, and another 4,500 who don't get a break and we're trying to hold out our hands to try to assist them."
Also, Gallucci doesn't want voters to forget his track record. He is reminding them that when he was first elected in 1976, there was an $8.6 million deficit in the city and under the leadership of former Mayor Joe Walsh he helped eliminate that deficit.
Both candidates have completed their fundraising efforts and will continue walking the ward before the election.
"I just want to get out there and meet as many people as I can to get my word out," Jennings said. "I'm excited and ready for Election Day."
Editor's Note: Sparrow's Point, a polling location in Ward 8, is located on Hardig Road but is accessible via an entrance on Cowesett Road.

A final act for a 'winner': Christiana Bakolas brings Bentley women to SNHUBy JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 18. 2014 9:25PM
Southern New Hampshire University men's basketball coach Stan Spirou was right on the mark when he called his niece, Christiana Bakolas, "a winner in every sense of the word."
Bakolas, a native of Manchester, said she's looking forward to leading her undefeated Bentley University squad, 23-0 and ranked No. 1 in the USA TODAY Sports/WBCA Division II poll, against the Penmen in a 5:30 p.m. contest today. It will be Bakolas' last game at the SNHU Fieldhouse.
"It's going to be bittersweet,' said the former Manchester Central standout. "Ever since high school, my family has only missed me play five times, three times at Central and twice with Bentley. I'm so blessed and lucky to have my family and friends, you know, that support system behind me. Playing at SNHU in Manchester has always been one of my favorite games. To see all the people I grew up with in the stands is special. It's definitely going to hit home that this is my last trip there."
Spirou, whose men's team will face the Falcons at 7:30 p.m., said he couldn't be prouder of his niece. "She's had an outstanding career," said Spriou. "She's a captain of the top-ranked Division II team in the country right now. She's never been about stats or points. She's a team player who always tries to make her teammates better. From AAU to Central and now at Bentley, she's always been a winner."
Bakolas has appeared in 115 career games with Bentley and during her four-year span with the Falcons, her program has produced a 112-11 record under head coach Barbara Stevens. Last month, Stevens became the sixth women's basketball coach in NCAA history to reach the 900-win plateau.
"It's been surreal," said Bakolas. "I'm both lucky and proud to say I'm playing for a legendary program under a legendary head coach. I'm surrounded by great teammates and great coaches who have made my experience at Bentley a very special one."
Bakolas and Bentley are traveling down a familiar road this season. Last year, the Falcons won their first 24 games before losing their first and only regular-season game at Stonehill. They won their Northeast-10 championship and eventually reached the NCAA East Regional Championship, losing to Dowling 53-51 on a basket with three seconds left in Waltham, Mass.
Bentley finished their season 30-2 overall last year.
"It was a tough loss, a tough way to end last season," said Bakolas. "But last year we gained so much experience and it has proven to be invaluable for us this season. Yes we're undefeated right now, but we don't dwell on it. Instead we're more focused on trying to get better each day. We watch tape every day and if we see we made a bad play, we look to correct it in practice. Coach tells us every day we can control things like effort, communication and defense and we work on that every day."
This year, Bentley has won all 23 games by an average of 23.6 points. They've won 13 games by 20 or more points and their closest margin of victory was 11 points against Adelphi. Bakolas is averaging 6.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game.
"Believe me we don't dwell on our record or worry about staying undefeated right now," said Bakalos. "I think we have more of an appreciation of the bigger picture ahead."
Bakolas, a 2010 graduate of Manchester Central, led Central to four Division I "Final Four" appearances including the 2008 state finals. The Little Green finished runner-up to Winnacunnet of Hampton in the 2008 state finals. Amassing 1,234 career points at Central, Baklolas was selected twice as a first-team All-Stater by the New Hampshire Basketball Coaches Association and the New Hampshire Union Leader. She also led Central to four straight QCIBT tournament titles and twice was named MVP.
Now with three regular-season games left before the post-season begins, Bakolas is hoping her Bentley squad can draw everything it can from last year's experience and use it for a potential longer run toward a national championship.
"That's the goal," she said. "To get there, we need to focus on our next opponent and play to our potential."
Tonight it's the Penmen in her last game in Manchester. Now that's worth a trip to the Fieldhouse.

Some shapes just end up turning into a mess on fabric when you overlap them randomly (see Cat Hairball Filler). Eventually I found that if you take out some of the randomness overlapping starts to look good. Case in point is this Loose Weave:
Have you ever had a weekend or whole week (or even worse a whole month) were you pick out more stitches than you quilt?
I had one of those weekends.
Lots and lots of seam ripping as my inner nit picky seamstress criticized every wobbly line or demented feather on my quilted jacket.
But I prevailed and finished more than half the back! Let's hope the rest goes a bit faster and with less ripping!
Difficulty Level - Beginner. This design is really a lot of fun to quilt because all it involves is long, slightly curving lines stitched horizontally and vertically across your quilting space.
There is a bit of travel stitching involved to get from one "thread" of the loose weave to another so just take your time and mark a few lines to get the hang of it.
Design Family - Overlapping. I don't have a lot of these designs, but what we do have is very interesting. All of these designs will work great to cover large surfaces, but probably not the best for the small, complex areas of a quilt.
Directional Texture - 2 Directions. Loose Weave has a neat horizontal and vertical texture. If you quilted this densely it would have a texture a lot like Matrix - very flat and directionless. On a bigger scale though, it will always add a nice soft line to your quilts.
Suggestions for Use - There are so many pieced blocks out there with sharp lines and angles. Why not try to soften them up a bit and cover your quilt with this large scale, gently flowing weave? It will add a beautiful texture to the surface and quickly finish a bed quilt with the perfect amount of quilting.

I made a separate FAQ for hint day, since some people don't realize it's connected to the weekly challenge
What is hinting?
There are a few days lag time between when the entries are finished being judged, and when the results are displayed and names are put on entries. During this time we play a hinting game. The challenge coordinator Deb Porter (breathfreshair) will begin a thread in the challenge forum, around Monday evening, declaring that the judging has been finished and we are now free to begin hinting.
Then each person who has entered in that week's challenge is free to leave a hint as to the title and level of their story. Then we play a sort of scavenger hunt to find our message board friends' stories and read and comment on them.
If there was a story in the Advanced level that was titled Mud Puddles, the hint might be something like:
Advanced: Something a child would play in after a rain.

Protesters have turned out by the millions throughout Egypt to demand the resignation of President Mohamed Morsi this week, gathering at places including Tahrir Square in Cairo, where just over two years ago protesters brought down the regime of Hosni Mubarak.
Their gathering would eventually lead to Morsi's ouster as well on July 3, 2013. In his place, Adly Mansour, chairman of the Supreme Constitutional Court—a judge appointed to Egypt's constitutional court by Hosni Mubarak—was sworn in as interim president.
Pictured here, Egyptian opposition protesters march, chant and wave flags during a demonstration in Tahrir Square. Click ahead to glimpse more images of protests shaking up Egypt.

Adam Rubin of ESPN New York writes:
In desperate need of clearing several spots, the Mets have put out word to other teams that they are interested in moving non-core prospects on the 40-man roster.
Among those available via trade: Gonzalez Germen, Darin Gorski, Reese Havens, Juan Lagares, Cesar Puello, Elvin Ramirez and Hansel Robles.
That is based on the assumption that Omar Quintanilla, Aaron Laffey, Marlon Byrd, LaTroy Hawkins and Scott Atchison have all made the team, and nobody at this point believes they haven't.
Any prospects cut from the 40-man roster will have to pass through waivers and there could be some casualties.
Also, regarding Puello, Andy Martino reminds us:
Cesar Puello is among Mets possibly at risk to be taken off 40.If that happens, no longer protected by union re: Biogenesis.

Well, we all knew this was coming after all those minor league deals we signed this offseason…

25 years on, no fading of Tiananmen wounds, ideals
BEIJING (AP) — Some went missing. Some lost their freedom. Some can't escape the images inside their head, or the guilt they feel for surviving.
The June 4, 1989, military crackdown to end weeks-long student protests is a key moment in the history of Communist-ruled China for the outside world. Within China, it is all but erased. Even personal acts of memory are considered subversive.
While China's economy, society and cities have transformed in the last 25 years, the demonstrators and their supporters are keen to remind the world that other things haven't changed — that China's political masters are still suppressing dissent and freedom of expression. They call for the Communist Party to stop hiding what happened on that bloody night in which an untold number of people were killed. Some cling to their democratic fight.
"I am the captain of a sunk ship," Wu'er Kaixi, who was a 21-year-old protest leader, said in an interview conducted in English. "I will always question of myself, 'Why didn't I die?' I believe, for the rest of my life. ... I will try my best to remember the guilt and try to realize the dreams of those who died that night."
In 1989, as a hunger striker, Wu'er rose to prominence when in hospital clothing he harangued then-Premier Li Peng during a televised meeting with protesters. Just over two weeks later he witnessed "the atrocity, the killing" that he still finds difficult to talk about today.
After the crackdown, he escaped. His last glimpse of China was a fading shore from a boat that smuggled him out of the country on a cloudy summer's night.
Now 46, Wu'er has spent longer in exile in the United States and on the self-governing island of Taiwan than in his homeland China. He is an investment banker in Taipei, husband to a Taiwanese and father of two sons, aged 19 and 16.
"I still consider myself as a democracy activist, an active dissident. It just unfortunately doesn't pay so I have to find another way to support the family," said Wu'er, one of the most-wanted student protest leaders, by Internet video phone from his Taipei home.
He wore a T-shirt emblazoned with "Free LXB" — a reference to Liu Xiaobo, the activist and Nobel Peace laureate who is serving an 11-year sentence in China on subversion charges.
Wu'er's most despairing time in the years after 1989 came on the 20th anniversary of the military crackdown. China had won admiration for the Beijing Olympics the previous year. It was gearing up for its first global fair — the Shanghai Expo — and many were touting it as the economic engine to help pull the world out of the global financial crisis.
"I felt like the world was betraying the idea of democracy ... giving in to China," he said. "But we the Chinese democracy activists want to carry on our own mission, to finish the unfinished business."
In the last five years, he has tried four times to go home to see his ailing parents, kneel before them and beg for their forgiveness for their suffering — even if he must do it within the walls of a prison. But like many other dissidents, he is not only wanted for arrest, but prevented from returning. His parents have been denied permission to visit him.
"Not being able to see the parents, being able to step back on the country that you care so much about, that is painful and that is harsh and unjust," he said. "But my parents that I haven't seen so much have also brought me up to be a person who does the right thing. And I know what I have done in 1989 was the right thing, the right thing to do."
While some have spent the past quarter-century in exile, others have been consigned to a life under surveillance. The reform-minded Communist Party general secretary Zhao Ziyang, who expressed sympathy for some student demands during the protests, was accused of splitting the party and spent the last 16 years of his life under house arrest.
His aide, Bao Tong, was imprisoned for seven years. Since his release in 1996, he has lived under house arrest, his moves observed, his visitors screened by security services who sit at a desk in the lobby of his high-rise apartment building. A reporter from The Associated Press was followed into an elevator and stopped from going up to Bao's floor, but another managed to go up in a second elevator in the meantime.
In his apartment in western Beijing, with photos of Zhao on the shelves and walls, Bao spoke of his disappointment as how, despite the passing of 25 years, "It is as if time has stopped for China."
"Back then, they feared the students, and deployed tanks and guns against these students," he said. "Today, they don't dare to tell this to the public. They don't dare to tell the truth to the Chinese people, tell the whole world what really happened."
Bao says at least 99 percent of the responsibility for deploying the army in 1989 lies with China's then-leader Deng Xiaoping, who died in 1997.
"I think Deng took this decision because he wanted to safeguard one-party rule, and its governing of China," said Bao. "He feared the people would become the masters of this country, and would leave the party out, and then the party would not be able to continue being the master of China.
"He has already passed away, and his successors, his heirs in the party still do not dare to point out and say: 'Deng Xiaoping made a mistake,'" he said.
Wang Nan, 19, was about to finish high school. Out of curiosity, he took his camera and joined groups of people who had occupied the square in the heart of Beijing.
His mother, Zhang Xianling, spent days looking for him, only to be told through unofficial channels that Wang had been shot in the forehead by troops enforcing martial law. Medical students had tried to help him but couldn't get him to a hospital because the area was sealed off. Zhang was told her son died at 3:30 a.m. on June 4 near the Great Hall of the People, the seat of China's ceremonial legislature.
She keeps his letters, photos, student card and library card in a box in her living room, along with his death certificate and a photo, taken by one of the medical students, of his half-buried, plastic-wrapped body. She has never looked at the photo.
Now she is a member of the Tiananmen Mothers, a group that campaigns for the truth about the event to be revealed and for criminal and historical accountability, and acts as a support network when a member falls ill.
Every year, Zhang's freedom is restricted from the first weekend in April to the end of the June 4 anniversary to stop her from speaking out about the event. Sometimes, police drive her to the cemetery to visit her son's grave to make sure no journalists or sympathizers accompany her.
"The scars will be in my heart forever," said Zhang at her Beijing home.
"Perhaps the way we commemorate this tragedy has changed. Before, I used to cry and cry. Now I have no more tears. I have become stronger, but my determination has not faded, and I will continue with my peaceful and rational quest to condemn the brutality of using violence to suppress the people. We Chinese people have suffered too much already."
A teenage soldier in the People's Liberation Army, Chen Guang was assigned to clean up the protest site the morning after. He later left the army to become an artist, but his memories of ashes, hair and burning have influenced his oil paintings, some of which are as realistic as photographs.
He depicts items that he saw there — bikes, books, an athletic shoe — or recreates scenes from photographs contained within two rolls of film that he took and kept, including one of soldiers from his unit posing in front of Tiananmen Square. He collects hair and ashes, and uses cut locks to create paintings, such as one of a shaven-headed man with his bare back draped with pieces of hair.
Chen has urged unfettered discussion of the crackdown, and was detained in early May ahead of the anniversary. Witnesses saw police carry away some of his paintings. A few days earlier, he had commemorated the 25th anniversary with an art performance in a borrowed studio with a dozen friends.
In the dark, they watched as a girl walked slowly around the studio, shining a torch on the walls and the painted numerals of years from 1989 onwards. The light was suddenly switched on and Chen started slapping white paint over them, including a prominent "1989."
"The history is like a blank," he says. "It has been wiped out."

Continues to advance on plan, signing customer and partners
TORONTO, CANADA--(Marketwire - Feb. 11, 2013) - Ortsbo, Inc. (a subsidiary of Intertainment Media Inc. (TSX VENTURE:INT)(OTCQX:ITMTF)(FRANKFURT:I4T)) continues to advance on the corporate strategy and business plan announced in November of 2012. To date, Ortsbo has executed contracts and has begun rolling out programs with major brands in the gaming, customer care, corporate communications and social network business lines, with more contracts in execution stage. Each contract is revenue focused in line with the plan communicated at the Intertainment Annual General and Shareholder Meeting ("AGM") on November 28, 2012.
"I know people are anxious for news," says Ortsbo President and CEO, Patrick Bultema. "The challenge has been we are signing deals with very large brands and companies. That's the great news. However, it's been a bit more challenging to get releases out because we are working with such large brands that generally schedule releases far in advance. What I can disclose at this point is we have multiple deals signed that are already generating revenue to plan. What's more, we are seeing growing traction and signing deals across all of the business lines. I had hoped to have more specific announcements out before now, but candidly working through the communications organizations and processes of these large brands is simply taking longer than expected."
Reiterating the corporate strategy, Ortsbo is monetizing the business along three lines: Global Commercial Communications; Gamification; and Cross-Language Social Networks. The Global Commercial Communications line is about enabling businesses to communicate with their customers across languages for valued business objectives. One such area is multi-lingual customer care, today a $200 billion plus market. Ortsbo Global Customer Care makes it possible for an agent in a low cost geography, to provide customer care to customers around the globe across a range of languages. Or similarly, Ortsbo Global Market Communication makes it possible for global companies to communicate with customers for product launches, social marketing, more effectively and at lower cost, and this represents an almost $700B spend worldwide. Ortsbo Gamification provides cross-language functionality for online games, a huge theme for the increasingly online and global player phenomenon. In fact, online gaming is a $40B a year industry and growing. And the Ortsbo Social Network line focuses on social networks where cross-language capability is a key feature and need.
In some business lines, Ortsbo is going to market with partners. In others it is more of a direct market approach. In all cases, we have customers and partners signed pending eminent news.
Unless otherwise indicated, the Company reports revenues quarterly in arrears as per the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange and other regulatory bodies.
Intertainment continues to move forward with its US initiatives for spinning out assets as it maintains its "incubator model". The Company is working with counsel and strategic advisors focusing on opportunities to maximize long-term value, including relocation of key assets from Canada to the US . Intertainment has received interest from a number of US investment banks to support this process and the Company will continue to update stakeholders and expects to further report within the timeframe of the estimated 90 to 120 days as it set out at the AGM.

Opera, which first lodged the complaint to the EU in December 2007, in which the bowser maker asked the EU to force Microsoft to unbundle its IE web browser from Windows, as well as include other browsers with Windows. In addition, Opera wanted the EU to force Microsoft to better support web standards.
Not surprisingly, Von Tetzchner applauds the recent move by the EU. According to the CEO, it was time Microsoft "started competing on the merits in the browser market and letting consumers have a real choice of internet browsers." "The Commission has confirmed that it will do what it can to make sure consumers are able to continue to freely enjoy one of the most important innovations in the history of humanity: the internet," he wrote in a statement.
The statement further reads: "The Court of First Instance's judgement was clear that Microsoft illegally tied Media Player to Windows. We are not surprised that the Commission has issued a Statement of Objections based on the principles in that judgement." Opera also says that the browser is "the most important application on the PC."
It's of course not surprising that Opera is full of glee with the recent news. Opera has a hard time competing with open source browsers like Firefox and Chrome, the first of which is far more popular than Opera's product. It remains to be seen whether or not a ruling in Opera's favour would actually translate into more Opera installations.
I personally think it would only result in more success for Firefox. They have the brand, the momentum, the media attention. Opera doesn't.

Boy shot in head with BB gun dies
10-year-old shot outside home
Boy shot in head with BB gun dies
10-year-old shot outside home
FROSTPROOF, Fla. —
Deputies said a 10-year-old boy has died after he was shot in the head with a BB gun.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office said the incident last week outside the boys' home in Frostproof. He was rushed to a hospital with critical injuries.
Deputies said the child's 13-year-old brother, Taylor Richardson, pointed a gun at his brother, Skyler Richardson, and Skyler was struck in the head at close range. The teen told his mother, who was cooking dinner, and she called 911.
Skyler was airlifted to St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa, where he died Wednesday – one week later.
The sheriff's office said the shooting appears to be accidental. An investigation is continuing.

Most manufacturers' new ranges of TVs seem like simply a gentle progression from what they've produced before. But on the evidence of the LC-42XD1E, there's a full-blown revolution taking place at Sharp HQ.
Firstly, it looks completely different from previous Sharp efforts, with its sultry curves and designer flourishes.
Step it up
It also steps up to the HD age by providing two HDMI inputs capable of handling 1080p and it carries a native pixel count of 1920 x 1080 pixels complete with an 'Underscan' option for ditching the overscan TVs generally apply to pictures, so 1080 HD sources can be mapped 1:1 to the screen's pixels.
It's a pity, though, that the absence of a component video input means that you have to use a provided adaptor to get component video into the LC-42XD1E via its PC port. This makes it impossible to simultaneously leave PC and component sources connected.
The LC-42XD1E's long features list includes a digital tuner, a hefty claimed contrast ratio of 6,000:1 achieved via a dynamic backlight system. There's also a 'truD' proprietary image processing engine designed to reduce judder in the picture while simultaneously improving the TV's contrast range and fine detail presentation.
This Sharp's handling of our Blu-ray disc of Pirates of the Caribbean really is terrific. Perhaps the single most significant advance over previous Sharp efforts comes in the area of black level. Pick any one of the night battles, and you'll find the action taking place in a pitch black setting and see an overall picture that's much more full of subtle shadow detailing than you'd normally find on a standard HD Ready LCD TV.
Colours are hugely improved too, as some outlandish pirate fashions (step forward Mr Depp) look superbly vibrant; the gentler hues of the Keira Knightley's costumes are portrayed with immense finesse; and skin tones are shown with a naturalness far beyond anything Sharp has managed before.
This great TV ekes out every last pixel of detail in stunningly sharp HD shots, and handles fast motion of swishing cutlasses with impressive clarity and smoothness. But it's not just an HD machine; it also portrays standard definition sources with great aplomb.
Edited highlights
Occasionally, colours can appear a touch cartoonish, and MPEG artefacts in weak standard definition digital broadcasts can be slightly emphasised. But these minor glitches only really serve to highlight just how good everything else about the LC-42XD1E's picture is.
Couple those stunning pictures the sleek looks, fine features and impressive audio accompaniment, you've got an LCD TV that's well worth £1,300 of anyone's money.

Erste Group Bank EBS, +1.40% tumbled 16% to 19.48 euros ($26.49) after it said it expects to post a net loss of €1.4 billion to €1.6 billion for 2014 as a result of higher provisions for its units in Hungary and Romania. Annual risk costs will be pushed up to €2.4 billion from the previously expected €1.7 billion, said Erste.
In Hungary, the government is aiming to cut charges by banks on foreign currency mortgages to aid homeowners struggling in the wake of a weakening in the Hungarian forint. Meanwhile, the Romanian National Bank is working to reduce nonperforming loans before an asset-quality review by the European Central Bank.
Barclays cut its rating on Erste to underweight from equalweight. With Erste the most heavily weighed on Austria's ATX, the stock index was pulled down by 3% to 2,460.31.
Erste was also the biggest decliner on the Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, +0.10% which shed 0.3% at 347.95. The index had finished the past three sessions with gains.
Trading volume was lower than usual in Europe on Friday as Wall Street closed for the July 4th holiday. The S&P 500 index SPX, -0.06% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.03% ended Thursday at record highs, with the Dow industrials closing above the 17,000 level in the wake of a stronger-than-expected U.S. June jobs reports.
In Paris on Friday, the CAC 40 equity index PX1, -0.02% fell 0.5% to 4,468.98, and Germany's DAX 30 DAX, +0.78% gave up 0.2% to 10,009.08.
But seeing gains Friday were shares of EasyJet PLC EZJ, -1.04% higher by 1% after the British budget airline said the number of passengers it carried in June rose 10.1% to 6.1 million, compared with the year-ago period.
EasyJet nearly topped advancers on the U.K.'s FTSE 100 UKX, +0.48% The index overall edged up less than 1 point to close at 6,866.05.
Meanwhile, British government-services provider Serco Group PLC SRP, +0.05% said Friday it lost a rebid to operate the Docklands Light Railway in London. Its shares declined 0.3%. Serco will continue to service the line through Dec. 7. The DLR franchise generated revenue of about 90 million pounds ($ 154.3 million), or 2% of Serco's overall revenue, at a margin that was well below the average Serco logs on its contracts, it said.
Elsewhere in Europe, shares of Let's Gowex SA ES:GOW remained suspended for a second day in Madrid. The shares tumbled more than 70% on Tuesday and Wednesday combined after short seller Gotham City Research LLC said it believes that more than 90% of revenue reported by the free public Wi-Fi provider "does not exist." Gotham City "does not trust Gowex's reported revenues, and believes Gowex is too good to be true," it said, adding that it estimates actual revenue to be less than €10 million.
Gotham City's claims are "unfounded and defamatory," Gowex said in a Thursday statement, and said it's preparing a report of relevant facts to clarify the company's position.

The film critic and writer Peter Biskind has observed that every bygone age is lit by a retrospective glow of nostalgia; for American filmmakers like Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese and Paul Schrader, the New Hollywood of the seventies was a golden age, "the last great time." So it is with those who witnessed the arrival of the first movies made by Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut and their colleagues from the French nouvelle vague in the early sixties. David Thomson, in a column whose headline–"Sit Down, Child, and I'll Tell You About Jean-Luc Godard"–indicates how distant we are from that time, reflected, "If you are 35 or less, even if you've heard of Jean-Luc Godard, you won't appreciate the aura he had in the early 1960s."
When Hollywood set its attack hounds on the French film industry during the last GATT round, we were reminded of this distance. Rallying filmmakers like Scorsese and Steven Spielberg to the call of "artistic freedom," Jack Valenti's Motion Picture Association of America, with the help of the Commerce Department, tried to bully France into removing the French film industry's remaining protectionist mechanisms. Hollywood's actions helped clarify a tribute paid to Truffaut, in the wake of his untimely death from a brain tumor in 1984, by Jean-Luc Godard, who declared: "Now we have lost our protection." How prophetic. Big Hollywood would have undoubtedly behaved similarly if Truffaut were alive; it is questionable, however, whether the MPAA would have been able to engage Scorsese and Spielberg. The New Wave had an electrifying effect on these young filmmakers. Moreover, it was Truffaut, as the New Wave's international diplomat, who did the most to cultivate and befriend this community, to the extent that Spielberg cast him in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Though France prevailed during the GATT quarrel, the consensus was that Hollywood was winning the war. Irrespective of a tariff here or there, Tinseltown held dominion over the international film industry with an 80 percent market share. And both critics and supporters have pointed to a malaise in French cinema that the GATT round illuminated: an industry heavily subsidized, losing market share to Hollywood and becoming internationally insignificant. Moreover, a range of voices in France and the United States accuse the French New Wave of nurturing the forces that corrupted French cinema.
The auteur theory, first popularized in the fifties by Godard and Truffaut while employed as film critics for Cahiers du cinéma, proposed that true films of distinction bear the mark of their director. The theory is blamed for enthroning a director-as-king ideology in which everything else, including audience, is secondary. The epithet nombriliste–navel-gazing–has been flung at French art cinema by many in France. David Puttnam, the English producer of Chariots of Fire and The Mission, devotes two rather shrill chapters in his recent book Movies and Money to charging that the New Wave's legacy was "dangerous artistically as it was damaging commercially." Even from the left, the upstart Danish filmmaker's collective Dogme 95 has called the New Wave a political failure, hopelessly compromised from the start, "a ripple that washed ashore and turned to muck," its slogans of freedom and individualism, and the auteur concept itself, "bourgeois romanticism."

The JKM Library is one of the seminary's most valuable educational resources. The collection is a merger of the collections of the libraries of McCormick Theological Seminary, Lane Theological Seminary, and the library which resulted from the merger of several seminaries to form the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. The collection has been further enhanced by ecumenical collaboration from 1970 until 1981 the Jesuit School of Theology at Chicago. Students and faculty benefit from the strength of this cooperative library which contains more than 433,000 items, access to over 4,700 on-line full-text databases and over 460 domestic and foreign periodicals, making it one of the largest free-standing theological collections in the United States. 85% of the collection is accessible via its on-line catalog accessible via the internet at www.jkmlibrary.org.
However, the most important resource of the JKM library is its staff: six professional, two paraprofessional, and several dedicated student (often Ph.D.) workers. JKM emphasizes the instructional role of libraries, providing classroom and workshop instruction as well as the more traditional one-on-one reference service. We encourage your questions and requests.
The wide range of patron services provided by JKM includes wireless internet service, available patron pc's and "check-outable" laptops, online database searching, interlibrary loan, research instruction, access to JKM's many on-line databases (including ATLAS and many Ebsco offerings) both on and off campus, and instruction in conjunction with the LRWC (Language Resource and Writing Center).
Other Libraries
Through direct borrowing or by using a courier system, students and faculty may borrow materials from all of the member libraries of Association of Chicago Theological Schools (ACTS). The shared library resources of ACTS total approximately 2 million volumes and 12,000 current periodical titles.
In addition, Hyde Park is a remarkable place to study because of the many libraries within walking distance of the seminary. These include the Joseph Regenstein Library and the John Crerar Library of the University of Chicago, where seminary faculty and students have borrowing privileges, as well as the libraries. Of the Catholic theological Union, Chicago Theological Seminary and Meadville/Lombard. Students and faculty are also encouraged to make use of the large number of libraries in Chicago that grant reader or borrowing privileges, such as the Newberry Library (with whom JKM has a special partnership, as McCormick's rare materials are housed there on irrevocable loan and associated Newberry membership), the Asher Library of the Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies, and the Chicago Public Library.
Rare Book and Manuscript Collections
In 2008 McCormick entered into an innovative partnership with the world-renowned Newberry Library: approximately 2035 rare books (650 of which came from Lane Theological Seminary) moved to the Newberry on irrevocable deposit, joining that library's 1.5 million rare books, 5 million manuscript pages, and 500,000 maps. Researchers may access any of McCormick's rare volumes, or any from Newberry's larger collection, by simply presenting themselves at the Newberry Library. In addition, the JKM Library houses several significant LSTC-owned collections. Among them are materials pertaining to biblical archeology, papyri from Oxyrhyncus (Egypt), manuscript codices from the 10th through the 13th centuries (including an entire New Testament, individual gospels, and gospel lectionaries), early printed materials, Luther manuscript letters and printed works, Swedish and German hymnals, several original editions of Luther's German Bible and many 16-century treatises and pamphlets. Scholars may use these collections by making arrangements with Ralph Klein, LSTC Rare Books Curator. Also housed at JKM is the Institute for Syriac Manuscript Studies (The Arthur Vööbus Collection on Film), photographs of thousands of valuable manuscripts from the Syriac tradition. In 2005 LSTC entered into an agreement with the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago in which the Institute took on the administrative responsibilities related to this archive including plans to digitize and complete the cataloging of the collection. All inquiries should be directed to Stuart Creason, Research Associate, the Oriental Institute at email@example.com .
Library Website
All of JKM's policies and procedures, services, hours, links to its databases, and other online resources can be found on the library's website at www.jkmlibrary.org which library staff update daily. The website also allows online reservation and renewal of materials, and facilities communication with reference librarians from off campus (the "Ask a Librarian" feature, especially handy in the evenings and on weekends). The website is the library's "one stop shopping" place for on and off-campus

But although they have their differences, the organizations are commonly known by acronyms — ACM and CMA — that can lead to confusion.

KALAMAZOO—Western Michigan University is inviting the greater community to join a Friday, Sept. 28, celebration formally marking the completion of three major projects at the heart of West Campus—Sangren Hall, the new pedestrian mall and the renovated Lee Honors College.
The event, titled "Excellence Renewed," begins at 6 p.m. on the mall and will feature remarks by President John M. Dunn, Board of Trustees Chairman Bill Johnston and other officials. Following those remarks, those attending will be welcomed inside Sangren Hall for a closer look.
The free event will include a performance by the Bronco Marching Band, a reception and self-guided walking tours, with knowledgeable guides stationed at each stopping point.
Sangren Hall
The $60 million, four-story, 230,000-square-foot building was ready in time for fall classes. Funded by the state of Michigan and WMU, the University began the construction project two years ago. The new Sangren replaces a building that was nearly 50 years old. Only the northern wing of the original still stands; it is set to be demolished this semester.
Sangren is headquarters of the College of Education and Human Development and home of the Department of Sociology. It is also one of the University's most heavily used classroom facilities.
Sustainably designed and built with the goal of achieving LEED gold certification, Sangren Hall's architect was SHW Group of Berkley, Mich. while Miller-Davis Co. of Kalamazoo constructed it. Together they created a facility that has more than four dozen classrooms, thousands of instructional seats, a large grants and research center as well as clinical and office space for several programs.
Designed to be both functional and attractive, the new Sangren has terrazzo floors and other sustainable materials inside, such as bamboo wood veneer on doors and cork flooring.
The beauty of the new Sangren is echoed just outside of the building by an expansive pedestrian mall with walkways and benches created from reclaimed granite, set off by lush grasses. One of the mall's other striking elements is a cascading water feature.
Situated just northwest of these the mall is another milestone project that was completed in time for the new school year.
Lee Honors College
The Lee Honors College has been expanded and enhanced. The $1.7 million project doubled the building's number of classrooms and infused it with cutting-edge classroom technology, including in a new seminar room. This seminar room has a tiled screen, for instance, with Skype capabilities that supports distance-learning sessions.
The project's major donors are Carl E. and Winifred Lee, who provided $1.1 million in funding for the expansion.

STOCKTON - Without the pretentiousness and Boston setting of "Cheers," the El Rancho Inn is a place where everybody knows your name.
STOCKTON - Without the pretentiousness and Boston setting of "Cheers," the El Rancho Inn is a place where everybody knows your name.
And your family history. And what you did yesterday. And what you want to order before you ask.
Owner Ray Laconeguy's steakhouse in southeast Stockton is built on long-term relationships and a menu that has a singular purpose: delivering the best steaks in San Joaquin County.
At least one of the regulars, Robert Highsmith, vice president of corporate sales for Dorfman Pacific, takes the compliment a step further.
"I travel coast to coast for my job, and the filet mignon here is the best - anywhere," Highsmith said. "Better than Peter Luger Steakhouse in Brooklyn or Charley's Steakhouse in Florida."
On a recent Thursday, the lunchtime crowd started showing up as soon as the doors opened at 11 a.m. By noon, every booth, table and barstool was filled. The parking lot was packed.
More than 100 people were enjoying the midday meal just a few blocks east of the county fairgrounds. "The crowd doubles during the fair," Laconeguy said.
Laconeguy, born in Stockton and raised in Tracy, greeted almost everyone by name.
Jean Etcheverry, 69, was there for lunch with his 93-year-old father, Raymond. "This is the best steak restaurant in the county," the son said.
The two hungry men connected immediately with Laconeguy. "Hey, we're both Basque," the El Rancho owner said. "And we're fishing buddies."
Laconeguy's staff is as loyal as his customers. Two of the employees - Mo and Janice - have been with Laconeguy since he bought the El Rancho in 1987.
Mo is 58-year-old Maureen Brinkley, a lifelong Manteca resident who has "tended bar, waited tables, cleaned toilets, whatever it takes" and is now the El Rancho's manager.
Janice is 50-year-old Janice Fitzgerald, a Tully C. Knoles School librarian by day and a waitress by night. "I just like waiting on people, serving people. It's fun to work here; everybody gets along."
Menu prices are steep at the El Rancho, but Laconeguy quickly justifies that. "Hey, who else in San Joaquin County can charge $11.95 for a chili dog - and get away with it?"
He says his team of employees is the key to success.
"I say, 'I'm the old broad' around here, and I'm proud of it," Brinkley said. "I love it. I've been here so long that I'm starting to serve the third generation of farmers. I'm serving drinks to kids that I remember being born."
A warm, rich experience begins at the front door. The first thing you see is an open kitchen and grill. Turn around, and there's a wall of framed photos of old friends and a few celebrities.
"We had our best year in history last year," the 64-year-old Laconeguy said, serving up salads, cutting bread, directing the grill, greeting every customer as an old friend.
"If I died tomorrow, I could say I did it all."

When you think of a disease that may result in death in women, one of these probably came to mind:
However, coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in the United States. It is responsible for 1 in every 3 female deaths. The older a woman gets, the more likely she is to develop heart and vascular disease and to die from that disease.
Heart disease – also known as "cardiovascular disease" - can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Men and women may experience these differently. The most well-known symptoms of a heart attack include:
Women often have few, different, or no symptoms. Or they may experience vague symptoms such as:
Women are less likely than men to survive a heart attack, perhaps because they:
Do not ignore symptoms that you may think are not important if they feel unusual to you.
Treatment should start within one hour of the onset of symptoms for the best outcome.
Live a Heart Healthy Life
Women over age 55 and those with a close family member with heart disease are at the greatest risk. However, it is never too early to practice heart-healthy habits. A wide range of factors can contribute to the development of heart disease. Fortunately, many can be controlled or monitored. You can reduce your risk of developing heart disease by taking these preventive steps:
Birth Control and Heart Health
Taking birth control pills can increase the risk of heart disease among some women, particularly those with other risk factors such as:
Check with your doctor to see if you personally might be at greater risk for a heart attack if you take birth control pills.
Aspirin and Heart Health
Aspirin may help prevent heart attacks and may be of particular help to women at high risk, such as those who have already had a heart attack. Aspirin can have side effects and also may not be compatible with many other medications. Only take a daily aspirin after consulting with your doctor to be sure it is safe for you.
