Paul, 40, was on a break from filming the seventh installment in the franchise when he died in a tragic car accident two weeks ago. Now, the paper says that Cody (seen above with his dad Paul, Sr.), a stuntman, has been asked to take his older brother's place.
Paul Walker: New Details About Brian O'Conner's Fate in 'Fast & Furious 7'
A source explained, "They can shoot Cody from behind and at distance, and if it's a shot they need Paul's face in close up they can CGI it later on."
The insider continued, "If Cody agrees it's because he wants to honor his brother's memory. There are many details that still need to be worked out, but right now the family and cast and crew are all still grieving."
The 25-year-old lives in Oregon, but has been in L.A. supporting his grieving parents. Walker's remains were reportedly cremated on Thursday ahead of a private family funeral set to take place Saturday.
Walker's ashes will be interred at L.A.'s Forest Lawn Cemetery.
A private, invitation-only memorial will include family, friends, and Paul's "Fast and Furious" co-stars.

Not just any supernova...
First, it's a Type 1a supernova, especially interesting to astronomers because these supernovae were used in the 1990's to determine that the expansion of the universe is accelerating, and are used in the search for dark matter. Unfortunately, more needs to be learned about Type 1a supernovae before they can be used to help better understand accelerating universal expansion and dark matter, and PTF 11kly should provide excellent data.
Type 1a supernovae are believed to be the death throes of white dwarves, stars with masses of about 1.4 times that of our sun. As Nugent explains the supernova process, the white dwarf is "accreting material from its companion, and when it gets massive enough, the temperatures on the inside can ignite the carbon in a runaway thermonuclear explosion."
Images taken of PTF 11kly's location by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2002 show what appear to be two red giants in the vicinity. If that's indeed what Hubble's pixels picture, that'd fit well into the accretion scenario that Nugent paints – one or both of those giants could have provided the meal that led to PTF 11kly's explosion.
This type of supernova is unique. "We know that these [white dwarves] are pretty old stars," Nugent says, "because we see them in both young galaxies and old galaxies, and all the other types of supernovae we only see in very young galaxies."
Another huge reason that PTF 11kly is such great candidate for study is that it's exploding almost next door – only around 21 million light-years away in the Pinwheel Galaxy, more properly known as M101, which can be found in the Big Dipper, more properly known as Ursa Major. It's the closest supernova of its type discovered since 1986 – and that one, Nugent says, was obscured by dust. "Before that, you'd have to go back to 1972, 1937, and 1572 to find more nearby Type 1a supernovae."
Finally, PTF 11kly was discovered mere hours after it first exploded – well, a few hours plus 21 million years, but let's not quibble.
Enter the humans
The baby supernova was picked out of the reams of PTF data by a combination of computer power and human intelligence. The filtering process that Carver uses to trim those one million anomalies down to a few hundred was developed by Josh Bloom, an associate professor of astronomy at the University of California, Berkeley.
To develop the machine-learning algorithm that he created, a large group of experts went through prefiltered anomaly data, and classified each anomaly as to whether it was of interest or not. Bloom then took those observations and developed what Nugent calls a "boosted decision tree" to filter and categorize the millions of nightly anomalies into a manageable number of reasonable possibilities.
After each pass through the PTF data, those few hundred possibilities are distributed to a group of "citizen scientist" supernova seekers – yes, actual humans – known as the Galaxy Zoo team (which describes itself as "very small and very busy"), who eyeball the possibilities to attempt to discover actual supernovae, along with a bot that Bloom developed that also roams through the data.
Nugent is one of those final filterers – and he was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time. "Wednesday at noon, California time, was when I looked and said, 'Okay, database, tell me what the best one we have from last night is', and – boom – it was there," he said. And it hadn't been there in the previous night's readings.
Monday (left), nothing. Tuesday (center), maybe. Wednesday (right), yup – supernova (click to enlarge)
"At first I was completely skeptical. I thought it was an asteroid passing in front of the galaxy, but then I searched the asteroid database and, nope, there was nothing there. Then because it was so faint, I said 'Well, this could be a nova' – which is another type of outburst, but not as interesting to us. And, no, that wasn't quite right."
Nugent then took advantage of a computer far less powerful than Carver. "Fortunately, I happened to be online and chatting with Mark Sullivan in England, and he said, 'Well, the sun is setting in the Canary Islands right now. We can have them take a spectrum of this object and let us know.' And so that happened three hours after I found it – they took a spectrum, and confirmed it was a supernova."
And not just any supernova, but "a very young, Type 1a supernova" as identified by the strong silicon lines that the Liverpool Telescope on the Canary island of LaPalma, Spain, identified in its spectrum.
After the Liverpool Telescope's confirmation, Sullivan emailed that team about its quick response: "Wow, what fun! From an email alert to data in <1 hour."
That "fun" is now being shared worldwide, thanks to the PTF network. Within 12 hours, PTF 11kly's Type 1a designation had been confirmed by California's Lick Observatory and Hawaii's powerful Keck Observatory, and many more telescopes around the world are making observations and gathering data. Thanks to an urgent request to NASA, the Hubble will take a look this weekend, as well.
"When you catch them this early, mixed in with the explosion you can actually see unburned bits from star that exploded!" effused Andrew Howell of UC Santa Barbara, exemplifying the excitement of astronomers worldwide. "Despite looking at thousands of supernovae, I've never seen anything like this before," he said.
It's possible that you may not even need a telescope to see PTF 11kly. "The best time to see this exploding star will be just after evening twilight in the Northern hemisphere in a week or so," says Sullivan. "You'll need dark skies and a good pair of binoculars, although a small telescope would be even better."
Just look for the Big Dipper and track down that Pinwheel with the help of Stargazers Lounge. And if you still can't find it, you might ask your friendly neighborhood supercomputer for assistance. ®

What would you say if you were given 30 seconds to pitch an idea to the Secretary-General of the United Nations that could change the world? By sending in your video to the latest edition of the Citizen Ambassadors video contest you could be in with a chance of meeting the Secretary-General in person to make that pitch.
The United Nations Department of Public Information, in partnership with the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), will run the 3rd annual Citizen Ambassadors video contest from 8 August 2011, to 8 September 2011. The contest is run in observance of World Humanitarian Day 2011 (WHD2011), celebrated annually on 19 August.
World Humanitarian Day is a celebration of people helping people. Every day humanitarian aid workers help millions of people around the world. There is never a year without humanitarian crises. And wherever there are people in need, there are people who help them – men and women coming together to ease suffering and bring hope.
The day recognizes the sacrifices and contributions of humanitarian workers and is about inspiring the spirit of aid work in everyone. This year's website is sharing a series of stories, highlighting the wide range of work humanitarians do and what motivates them. In this one, aid worker Marco Domino shares a special story from Haiti.
Humanitarian photographer Marco Domino talks about working closely with a family in Haiti.

Michael Ward, a noted British scholar on C.S. Lewis, will present the address "C. S. Lewis and the Christian Imagination" on Thursday, Oct. 23, at 4 p.m. in room 135 of the Martha Miller Center for Global Communication at Hope College.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Ward is author of one of the most important books on Lewis, "Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis," published by Oxford University Press in December 2007. In the book, Ward argues that medieval cosmology, a subject which fascinated Lewis throughout his life, provides the imaginative key to the seven Chronicles of Narnia. He has also published many articles and essays on Lewis.
Ward also has lectured widely on C.S. Lewis, in South Korea and Sweden as well as in Britain and numerous places in the United States. He debated Christian fiction with the atheist writer, Philip Pullman, before an audience of 800 people in Oxford in 2002. He is co-editor of two books: "Heresies and How to Avoid Them: Why it Matters What Christians Believe" (2007) and the forthcoming "Cambridge Companion to C.S. Lewis."
Ward studied English at Oxford University and theology at Cambridge University. He received his doctorate in divinity from the University of St Andrews. He was ordained in the Anglican Church in 2004 and served for several years as the Chaplain of Peterhouse, the oldest of the Cambridge colleges.
The Martha Miller Center is located at 257 Columbia Ave., at the corner of Columbia Avenue and 10th Street.

A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) is part independent living, part assisted living and part skilled nursing home. They offer a tiered approach to the aging process, accommodating residents' changing needs. Upon entering, healthy adults can reside independently in single-family homes, apartments or condominiums. When assistance with everyday activities becomes necessary, they can move into assisted living or nursing care facilities. These communities give older adults the option to live in one location for the duration of their life, with much of their future care already figured out. This can provide a great level of comfort to both your parents and you and take much of the stress out of the care giving relationship.
What CCRCs Cost
The most expensive of all long-term-care options; CCRCs require a hefty entrance fee as well as monthly charges. Entrance fees can range from $100,000 to $1 million — an upfront sum to prepay for care as well as to provide the facility money to operate. Monthly charges can range from $3,000 to $5,000, but may increase as needs change. These fees are dependent on a variety of factors including the health of your loved one(s), the type of housing they choose, whether they rent or buy, the number of residents living in the facility and the type of service contract. Additional fees may be incurred for other options including housekeeping, meal service, transportation and social activities.
Types of Contracts
There are three basic types of contracts for CCRCs:
- Life Care or Extended Contract: This is the most expensive option, but offers unlimited assisted living, medical treatment and skilled nursing care without additional charges.
- Modified Contract: This contract offers a set of services provided for a set length of time. When that time is expired, other services can be obtained, but for higher monthly fees.
- Fee-for-Service Contract: The initial enrollment fee may be lower, but assisted living and skilled nursing will be paid for at their market rates.
It is very important to review with your loved one each option as well as the long-term financial plan to support them. Often, charges above and beyond the entrance cost and monthly fees arise. Ensure that everyone understands just how much money will be needed to support this housing option.
Also, make sure the facility they are considering will be financially viable over the long term. Get assurance that 10 to 15 years down the road your loved one's CCRC will still be operating and able to provide them with the care they've already paid for.
Where to Begin
Help your loved ones research CCRCs in their area and offer to accompany them on visits. While there, investigate thoroughly and meet with a representative who can walk them through the different housing options, cost structures, and contract choices.
If your loved one decides to live in a CCRC, suggest that they request a weekend or week-long stay at the facility to ensure it's the right choice for them. Once they are ready to commit, run the contract by an attorney to be sure everything is spelled out as it was agreed upon with the facility.
Other Tips
- If your parents are considering a CCRC as a couple, be sure they understand what will happen if one of them needs a higher level of care or dies, or if their circumstances dramatically change. Investigate whether there are circumstances where they can get a refund or leave any of their entrance fee to their estate should a change be necessary.

Among the 5,000 books available for the Libronix Digital Library System there are a few that make people wonder, "Why did they produce that one?"
Years ago, someone gave our family a copy of The Works of Eugene Field. In high school I read a few volumes with mild interest before getting to the final volume, The Love Affairs of a Bibliomaniac, with which I fell promptly in love.
I was in my seventh year then, and I had learned to read I know not when. The back and current numbers of the "Well-Spring" had fallen prey to my insatiable appetite for literature. With the story of the small boy who stole a pin, repented of and confessed that crime, and then became a good and great man, I was as familiar as if I myself had invented that ingenious and instructive tale; I could lisp the moral numbers of Watts and the didactic hymns of Wesley, and the annual reports of the American Tract Society had already revealed to me the sphere of usefulness in which my grandmother hoped I would ultimately figure with discretion and zeal. And yet my heart was free; wholly untouched of that gentle yet deathless passion which was to become my delight, my inspiration, and my solace, it awaited the coming of its first love.
Eugene Field was a poet and journalist in the late 19th century (most famous now for Little Boy Blue and Wynken, Blynken, and Nod). His fanciful memoir of an old bibliomaniac delighted me; I found within it the name of my book obsession and license to revel in the malady.
I memorized the first chapter for recitation at a drama competition, and for years afterwards I pressed copies into the hands of fellow book lovers.
One of these fellow bibliomaniacs worked at Logos in our text production department. He took it upon himself to type the entire book and then presented it, fait accompli, in Logos format. And so it went into our collection as an unlock, with about five to ten copies sold each year.
So, is it useful for Bible study? No, but it is a delightful read if you are enchanted by chapter titles like "The Luxury of Reading in Bed," "On the Odors Which My Books Exhale," and "Our Debt to Monkish Men." And now it is free.

These guys know how to gin up a controversy.
Paul Schwartz, a columnist for the New York Post, devoted an entire column today to lamenting the fact that the New York Giants have few externalities ginning them up for the game this Sunday. The Giants, he argued, need that kind of motivation to play at their best; they need a chip on their shoulder. The article was headlined: "No Chance in Hell." The subhead: "Hey, Blue, Pin That on Your Bulletin Board."
Schwartz wrote:
THE PACKERS probably won't do it, won't comply in sucker Cowboys fashion, won't set a dumb trap for themselves by opening their mouths or escaping Green Bay to head to a warmer spot (Nome, Alaska, perhaps?) with their celebrity babes for a few days of R&R. They won't rile up perpetually-riled Brandon Jacobs or give Plaxico Burress the desire to once again redecorate his locker or utter as much as a peep, which is all Antonio Pierce needs to sound the alarm (or air horn).
None of this works for the Giants. Mere underdog status isn't enough. Their coach is being hailed as The Great Communicator and their quarterback is now The Younger Brother Who Could. No one is assailing their character, commitment or confidence. For a team that admittedly thrives on beat-downs and put-downs, there's simply not enough here to whip them into an "I told you so" frenzy…
The best way to jump-start the Giants is to disrespect them, tell them, "No you can't" when they think "Yes we can." It's for their own good.
What was that about no one assailing their character? If there's no villain, make one up.
Our friend Greg Bedard had a perfectly reasonable article this morning noting that the New York Giants have a reputation for dirty play. That's hardly a controversial thing to say. Anybody who watched the Week 2 games must remember Plaxico Burress's late hit on A.J. Hawk, one of the more egregious late shots I saw all season. And the Sean O'Hara hit on Aaron Kampman that serves as the basis for much of Greg's article was just as bad. The Giants did this all year long. And Bedard started his article by pointing out that Kampman didn't want to talk smack. "Aaron Kampman didn't want to talk about it Wednesday. He took the rather diplomatic approach of not providing the New York Giants with anything that could be deemed bulletin-board material." The article quoted three other Packers saying that they were aware that the Giants like to take their shots and pledging not to be baited into fighting back.
It was a good, straightforward story, but otherwise unremarkable. In typical New York fashion, if the Giants need a controversy to get fired up, count on the media to do that. By day's end, they had.
So then came this article in the New York Post. It was splashed across the front of the New York Post website under a banner "breaking news." And the headline "Sean Says 'We're Not Dirty.'"
Once again, an opponent sent disparaging words hurtling toward the unsuspecting Giants. Last week, it was mouthy Cowboys receiver Patrick Crayton who conjured up Giants trash talking (that no one quite recalled) as proof they were either scared or not confident in their ability to win at Texas Stadium. The Giants took great delight in reminding Crayton of his boastful words after their 21-17 victory bounced the Cowboys from the playoffs.
The Giants sounded slightly amused that the Packers, three days before the game to determine which team gets to Super Bowl XLII, were worried about late hits and rough stuff.
Suddenly, in a quick turn that is hard to do if you're anywhere other than New York, it wasn't the Giants that are a dirty team, it was the Packers who were talking smack. Huh?
"If they want to talk, let 'em talk," said left tackle David Diehl. Umm, who was talking?
We'll give former Packer Grey Ruegamer the last (very tasteless) word. "Any D-linemen calling offensive linemen dirty, that's retarded. They take their shots, we take our shots. I'm not going to go home and get whiny about it."
Good riddance.
UPDATE: Be sure to check out some of the reactions to Greg's piece from Giants fan. He posted the publishable ones on the JS Online Packer blog. Hilarious.
UPDATE II: Tim Canavan, an AP sports writer, quotes Grey Ruegamer a little differently in this article. Did he change the quote to make it less offensive? If so, that's offensive.

Sadly, aside from the 3 of you and maybe 2 others on other sites, these guys are getting next to nothing in feedback (good or constructive) on any of the customizing sites, maybe I should just quit trying to be unique and imaginative and just start cranking out Clones like everyone else
These are fantastic Preditors Spectre! I like the backstory and how you painted these. Very professional looking. I like the net stockings they wear and the dreadlock hair. Very movie accurate and well weathered. How much actuation do they have?
As for clones only getting feedback, I feel you pain. That is one of the reasons I left RS. We here at JD are alot more open to new stuff. Sorry for the lateness of my replay. I've been really busy at work recently to catch all of the threads. Keep them coming man!
Sorry Spec, on behalf of those of us who "crank out clones" at the rate of 1 or 2 a month, and have little time or money to spend on much else hobby-wise, I sincerely apologize for the following:A - Not being knowledgeable enough in other lines of toys to offer a decent opinion. I know nothing about Predator action figures and therefore have no basis to offer constructive criticism, since you could've taken it right out of the package, posted a pic and said "Voila!" without us ignorant, unimaginative clone-crankers knowing any better. Sure I could do a little googling and find out what you did to make the character better and more unique, but I have frozen burritos to cook, which require a careful, tending hand.B - Many clone-crankers are fairly new to the hobby, and choose to hone our skills butchering easily fixable, faceless clones. I myself have about 1 of every ROTS and AOTC Jedi and other non-clone figure, and about 50 clones total ranging the line. So before I attempt to better (and most likely butcher) what I believe are very fine Jedi and other character sculpts, which I have in lower quantity due to budgetary restraints, I'll keep "cranking out" clones.C - I like clones more than Tarkins, Veers's, and most Jedi. So sue me.D - This is all my own opinion, but the vast majority of cross-line part swaps end up looking out of proportion, with heads that don't fit the body, and limbs that just "don't look right," for lack of a better description. Biceps that are twice as long as the forearm, that extend to the waistline look strange to me (general example, not citing or impugning your work in particular).E - All opinion here as well: If someone ports a head, limb, or accessory over to the SW-themed "universe," with a feable or nonexistent attempt to make it "Star Warsy," I don't think that much creativity or imagination was required. While the work involved in doing so may have taken much time to do, the "creativity factor" is greatly diminished, since you just lopped off something and glued it onto something else. You and many others here feel the same way about clone customs: Little creativity and imagination = a lesser quality custom. That's your opinion and I can respect that, but don't bitch and moan if someone who might hold a low opinion of your work refuses to give a false and disingenuous appraisal just so you can have a warm fuzzy.F - That's about it. You get just over an average of 1 reply per 12 views, which is nothing to complain about, and slightly better than my unimaginative clone-laden clone-cranker thread gets. If you'd like to receive a million one-word replies to the tune of "Cool!" then this is the wrong place to be. If you want more feedback on obscure, non-SW figures on a SW-themed board, you're barking up the wrong tree. Since I pattern my entire life after the lessons learned from the movie Bambi, I think the following applies: "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all."Sincerely and with much loving and adoration,B

Wiley appointed district judge
December 18, 2008
An attorney long involved in the Leavenworth community is Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' pick to be the newest 1st Judicial District judge.
Sebelius on Friday named Dan Wiley to the bench in the 1st Judicial District serving Leavenworth and Atchison Counties.
"Dan's extensive experience in civil and criminal cases, both as an attorney and as a municipal judge, prepares him well for this new position," Sebelius said.
Wiley, Leavenworth, graduated from the College of Great Falls in Montana before earning his law degree from the University of Kansas.
Wiley has been with Murray, Tillotson and Wiley since 1993, primarily practicing domestic relations, employment, corporate, real estate, banking, and personal injury law. He has argued cases before the Kansas Court of Appeals, Kansas Supreme Court and Kansas Federal District Court.
Wiley also serves the Leavenworth area as a municipal judge for the City of Leavenworth and as a district judge pro-tem for the Leavenworth County District Court. He has more than 11 years of judicial experience in Leavenworth County.
Wiley has served as a school board member for USD 453 and also served on the board of directors and as president of the Leavenworth/Lansing Area Chamber of Commerce.
Wiley is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force. He is a member of the Leavenworth County Veteran's Day Parade Committee and this year served as the parade master of ceremonies.
He will fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Frederick Stewart.
Wiley and his wife, Sonia, are parents to two children, Austin, 13, and Christina, 11.

Rhubarb ripple cheesecake
I've been playing with the idea of a rhubarb cheesecake for a few years now, and finally settled for this simple rhubarb ripple cheesecake (or should I call it "Marbled rhubarb cheesecake"?). I use the base from my lingonberry cheesecake (but feel free to use the regular Digestive-base), the filling from my Manhattan cheesecake and a simple addition of poached rhubarb (with some candied ginger added for a zing). We loved it. The creamy simple cheese filling, the tart rhubarb and moreish base work together like a dream..
Rhubarb ripple cheesecake
(Siiruviiruline rabarbri-toorjuustukook)
Serves 8
Beautiful poached rhubarb
100 g unsalted butter, softened
85 g caster sugar (about 100 ml)
1 large egg
180 g plain flour (300 ml)
0.5 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
Poached rhubarb:
250 to 300 g slender pink rhubarb stalks
2 Tbsp demerara sugar
3 Tbsp candied ginger pieces
Cream cheese topping:
600 g full-fat cream cheese, softened
125 g caster sugar (150 ml)
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla sugar or extract
First, poach the rhubarb. Wash the rhubarb stalks and cut into 1 cm chunks (I never peel the young rhubarb stalks, as the colour is mostly in the skin). Place into a small saucepan with sugar and 2 Tbsp of water. Simmer on a medium heat for 5-10 minutes, until rhubarb is completely soft. Stir in the candied ginger and put aside.
For the base, cream the butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, thoroughly beating each time. Add the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Press the mixture onto the base and sides of a 26 cm springform tin lined with parchment paper. Place into the fridge to wait while you prepare the cheesecake mixture.
For the cheesecake topping, mix all ingredients thoroughly (you may use a whisk for a fluffier result).
To assemble the cake, pour the cream cheese mixture over the cake base. Spoon the rhubarb mixture here and there over the top, then use a knife to stir the rhubarb mixture into the cheese mixture, to get a marbled effect.
Bake in a preheated 180 C oven for 40-45 minutes, until the filling is set and the cake base cooked.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.

Hi Pille
I've now tried this recipe a few times, with different fillings, but I'm always struggling with the base.
It takes me good 20-30 mins to press it against the tin. As it's so soft, it's so difficult to handle, especially the borders. The consistency is like plasticine right?

Study Shows Family History Is a Stronger Predictor of Heart Attack Than Stroke
By Kathleen Doheny
WebMD Health News
Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD
July 26, 2011 -- A family history of heart attack boosts the risk of having a heart attack much more than a family history of stroke increases the risk of having a stroke, new research suggests.
"We teased out the relative effects of family history of stroke and family history of heart attack in the same population, so that we can directly compare the effects," says researcher Amitava Banerjee, PhD, MPH, a clinical lecturer at the University of Birmingham, U.K.
"Heart attacks are more heritable than stroke," he says. "That means a history of heart attack in your family is more strongly associated with your [risk of] heart attack than a family history of stroke [is associated with your risk of stroke]."
The findings are based on 1,921 patients. They had suffered either a stroke or other brain-related problem or a heart attack.
The study is published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics.
Family History of Heart Attacks vs. Strokes
Researchers have tended to lump together stroke and heart attacks when studying family history, Banerjee tells WebMD.
He wanted to look at them separately to better understand how genetics might predict risk of each. Other research had suggested genetic differences in heart attack and stroke risk.
The researchers had found previously that the genetics of high blood pressure, for instance, is tied to stroke risk more than heart attack risk.
The men and women in the study were part of the ongoing Oxford Vascular Study. It began in 2002 to study strokes, heart attacks, and other vascular problems.
It includes more than 91,000 people in the U.K., served by a single hospital.
For this study, Banerjee's group evaluated 906 men and women who had heart attacks or other heart problems and 1,015 men and women who had strokes or 'mini' strokes, called transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).
The average age of the heart patients was 70; the average age of the stroke patients was 73.
Banerjee looked at the medical information to see if the parents of the patients had had strokes or heart attacks. They looked to see if the patients' brothers or sisters had strokes or heart attacks.
In both cases, family history more strongly predicted heart attack than stroke in the siblings.
"People with heart attacks who had one parent with heart attack were 1.5 times more likely to have a sibling with heart attack than a heart attack patient who had no family history," Banerjee tells WebMD.
"Heart attack patients who had both parents with a heart attack history were nearly six times as likely to have a sibling with a heart attack as heart attack patients without a family history," he says.
"Family history of stroke didn't work in this way," he says.
However, he says, family history of stroke increases the risk of stroke, but the link is not as strong as for heart attack.
He also found a ''clustering" effect for heart attack risk. "The more patients and siblings [within a family] are affected, the greater the risk," he says. That did not hold for stroke risk.
Exactly why a family history of heart attack seems to carry more risk is not known for sure, Banerjee says.
He speculates that it could be due to genetic influences. It could also be due to the interaction of genes and environment or early life environmental factors.
Advice Remains Same: Exercise, Eat Right, Don't Smoke
The findings are intriguing, says Ralph Sacco, MD, chair of neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and immediate past president of the American Heart Association. He reviewed the findings for WebMD.
However, the overall population from the Oxford study is 94% white. So he says it is unclear whether the findings would apply to U.S. Hispanics and African-Americans.
The findings seem to confirm what some have thought all along, he says, ''that heart disease may be a little bit more linked to heredity than stroke."
Sacco suspects this may be because stroke can originate from a variety of causes. For instance, some are triggered by hardening of the arteries. The irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation can also lead to stroke.
The finding does not change lifestyle advice, Sacco says.
It is also important, he says, to remember that genetics is not the whole story. "Both stroke and heart attack are still under a lot of environmental and behavioral control," he says.
"The majority of strokes and heart attacks are still associated with [eating] a poor diet, being overweight, smoking, and not being physically active," he says.

Can a Tariff Wall Restore America's Industrial Glory?
Did America become a great industrial power in the 19th century because of its high trade barriers? This is not just an academic question. Modern‐day critics of trade, such as Pat Buchanan and Ian Fletcher, argue that the same tariff wall that made American great more than a century ago can bring back those days of industrial glory.
I did my best to debunk this flawed historical argument in Chapter 7 of Mad about Trade, but I'm delighted to see my free‐trade buddy Don Boudreaux of George Mason University weigh in with an article in the new issue of The Freeman.
Under the title, "Tariffs and Freedom," Don neatly dispels a number of myths surrounding that period in American economic history.

USA FIT Salt Lake members are just like you. Most get involved because they know it's time to finally get in shape, and for many, that means doing something really different in their lives. They know they have to challenge themselves to step beyond the status quo, because without some accountability and guidance, their efforts might fall flat. Some of our participants are new to running, while others have been doing this for quite some time. But no matter what the individual stories, all share one goal: to get fit and have fun doing it.
Running Programs (Yellow, Red, Blue/Green, and Half Marathon groups):
USA FIT Salt Lake runners form the backbone of our membership. Whether preparing for the 5k, 10k, full or the half marathon distance, runners all receive weekly educational seminars, a schedule specifically designed for their ability level, an online support forum, and more.
At the start of each season, trainees will participate in time trials to determine the placement that best matches their ability. All participants will run two miles the first week, and we'll advance up to 21 miles by the 24th week of training. All long runs (and occasional speed work) will be done alongside members of your pace group, so no one trains alone.
The program's general format is as follows:
- Before each Saturday run, members will come together for the week's announcements and to hear an educational seminar on key training topics designed to prepare runners for the rigors of this endurance sport.
- Members participate in an organized training run each Saturday morning with runners of similar training paces. Each pace group is designated by a color: Blue/Green, Yellow, Red, or Half Marathon.
- Weekend runs will be followed by a brief discussion about the day's workout and instructions for the coming week.
- Members adhere to a schedule of mid-week training runs. Those runs are built with busy lifestyles in mind, so they keep members moving toward their goals while requiring only a moderate amount of time on the road.
- Weekly speed training sessions may be available once the group has built a sufficient training base to handle it safely and comfortably.
Walking Program (Purple group)
Walkers comprise an enthusiastic and growing segment of USA FIT Salt Lake. This group is specifically designed for people walking a 13:45 or greater pace, but the goal is the same: to help you push your personal boundaries and achieve your performance and speed goals in an encouraging, safe environment.
Walkers receive all the same benefits as runners. All athletes meet on Saturday, and as with the runners, walkers start at two miles and progress through an increasingly rigorous schedule each week until the season's ending taper. Everyone receives the same excellent ability-based coaching, weekly educational seminars, mid-week support, and more.

A one-car wreck sent a male driver to Onslow Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries Thursday afternoon.
A one-car wreck sent a male driver to Onslow Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries Thursday afternoon.
When first responders arrived at the scene, they closed down the outside lane of N.C. 24 West.
The Toyota Corolla was traveling west on N.C. 24 at 3:17 p.m., according to Hubert Volunteer Fire Department Assistant Fire Chief Wayne Forsythe when the vehicle drove off the right side of the highway striking a culvert in front of 3307 Freedom Way in Hubert before coming to rest 100 feet from the ditch facing east.
Frank Carter, the resident at the house where the car's tumble ended, came outside after hearing the wreck and called 911 before going to help the driver.
Carter helped extract the man from the car, he said.
Onslow County Emergency Medical Services transported the driver to Onslow Memorial.
Onslow County EMS, N.C. State Highway Patrol, Hubert Volunteer Fire Department and Swansboro FIre Department responded to the scene.
Bear Creek VFD also responded.
N.C. Highway Patrol is investigating the wreck.
The car was totaled, officials said.
Otherwise, there was little property damage aside from dug-up grass and the culvert's walls of Carter's driveway.
Spared were a mailbox, parked vehicle and a utility box as the Toyota careened through the yard.
A witness said that after the car struck the culvert, the car became airborne and nearly touched the utility lines above the roadside.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) A racehorse died Thursday at Churchill Downs after a freak fall that the trainer blamed on the sound of a starting gate bell blaring on the track's new sound system.The 5 year old mare Never Tell Lynda was walking toward the paddock on the dirt track when she reared, twisted and fell, hitting her head, said her trainer, Kenneth Wirth. She died before the first race of the day at the track that's home to the Kentucky Derby.A heartbroken Wirth later said the horse was spooked by what Wirth thinks was the sound of a starting gate bell coming from a commercial on Churchill's massive new video board. The system includes 750 speakers."We teach horses to break from that," he said. "And you've got it on a loud speaker that everybody in a two city block can hear. Well, what's she going to do? She thinks she's supposed to take off. And that's what she did. And when she did, she lunged and she lost her balance and went down."The fall was not witnessed by any of the track veterinarians, but staff rushed to her aide, said Will Farmer, chief racing veterinarian for the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission."It was quickly evident that this horse was in the process of expiring," he said. "To ease her suffering, one of our veterinarians euthanized her."A necropsy will be performed on the horse, but the clinical signs matched the trainer's description, Farmer said.Wirth said the mare was being schooled, meaning she was not entered in the race but was doing a walk through to prepare her for future races.A Churchill Downs spokesman said the "extremely rare" schooling accident was heartbreaking."Our thoughts and prayers are with her connections," said track spokesman Darren Rogers.

Turcotte, who is paralyzed, said he couldn't get a parking spot during his last Derby Day visit, and then couldn't even get into the track to watch last year's race. The track said any snub was the result of a "communication breakdown."Then, Steve Coburn, co owner of this year's Derby and Preakness winner, California Chrome, lashed out at Churchill Downs after the Preakness, which is held at the Pimlico Race Course in Maryland."Churchill Downs needs to call Maryland to get a lesson in hospitality," Coburn said.

The Truth About Culinary 226 website provides information on Culinary Workers Union Local 226 ("Culinary Union"), an affiliate of UNITE HERE, ongoing campaign of harassment against the Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®) and its partners, under the guise of concern about the conduct of some UFC fighters. However, the Culinary Union's actual agenda has nothing to do with such conduct. This website's purpose is to set the record straight regarding the true motivations of the Culinary Union's smear campaign.
Why is the Culinary Union attacking the UFC?
The Culinary Union represents workers in the hotel, food service and gaming industries. For more than a decade, the Culinary Union has attempted to unionize the employees of Station Casinos, a gaming and entertainment company in Las Vegas, Nevada that is majority-owned by Frank Fertitta III and Lorenzo Fertitta, who are also majority owners of the UFC.
Founded over three decades ago, Station Casinos prides itself on its treatment of its 12,000 employees. Station Casinos was named one of the "100 Best Companies to Work For" four years in a row – an honor no other gaming company has ever received.
The Culinary Union has targeted Station Casinos because the company refuses to agree to a "card check" process whereby the Culinary Union may become the representative of its employees without being elected as such through a secret ballot election. Rather than simply following the secret ballot election process that U.S. federal law provides, the Culinary Union's management has instead waged a dishonest campaign to pressure Station Casinos to capitulate to its demands. As part of that campaign, the Culinary Union has been engaging in harassment tactics that target all of the business interests of the Fertittas, including Station Casinos and the UFC.
What about the Culinary Union's claims concerning UFC fighter conduct?
With a diverse group of over 400 athletes from 35 different countries, the UFC holds the highest of standards for the conduct of its fighters. The UFC's Code of Conduct condemns any inappropriate behavior that runs counter to its values and culture, and outlines disciplinary procedures for those who violate its terms. Further, fighters are contractually prohibited from engaging in inappropriate conduct. The UFC regularly hosts fighter summits to tackle issues of conduct and make clear the high expectations of the UFC.
Furthermore, the UFC appointed former UFC Champion Matt Hughes as Vice President of Athlete Development and Government Relations. In that role, Matt communicates regularly with UFC athletes, providing guidance and information on appropriate conduct of professional athletes, playing a role not unlike those played by respected veterans who transition from their playing careers to directors of player development in other professional sports.
The UFC Code of Conduct is available for download here.
The UFC Code of Conduct is available for download here.
What is the UFC's position on social and community issues?
The UFC has a proud tradition of supporting philanthropic programs in the community and strives to have a positive impact across a range of social and community issues.
The UFC has a proven track record of supporting important social causes including the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada, Boys and Girls Clubs, March of Dimes, Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, and Boys Town among others. As strong supporters of armed forces, the UFC has raised over $12 million for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, on which Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta serve as Board Members.

The Central Connecticut baseball team won its second straight game on the road on Thursday, topping Fairleigh Dickinson 6-5 in Northeast Conference action in New Jersey. The win pushes the Blue Devil record to 12-12 on the season and 4-5 in NEC play. FDU drops to 7-20 overall and 1-8 in league action.
The Blue Devils wasted little time getting on the board thanks to senior J.P. Sportman. Batting leadoff for just the second time this season Sportman belted his first home run of the year for the 1-0 lead. The Knights took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the first on a two-run, two-out double from Zach Tondi.
The Knights tacked on a third run in the second inning on an RBI single from Shane Siebler. They made it 4-1 in the fifth inning on an RBI double from Ryan Brennan.
Freshman Pat Sirois drove home the second run of the game for the Blue Devils with a bases loaded single in the top of the sixth inning, making it 4-2. With the bases loaded Sportman doubled to score two more and tie the game 4-4. The lead reached 6-4 after an error by the Knights and then a sacrifice fly from junior Dominic Severino.
The Knights cut the CCSU lead to 6-5 one a solo home run by Riley Moonan in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Freshman Brett Susi earned the start for CCSU and went 4.1 innings allowing four runs on five hits while striking out three and walking two.
Freshman Austin Salnitis earned the victory by throwing 1.2 innings of scoreless relief. The victory is the first of Salnitis' career. Senior Anthony Mannuccia pitched the seventh and eighth innings and surrendered just one run on one hit. Senior Josh Ingham worked a scoreless ninth to earn his sixth save of the season.
Sportman finished the day four-of-five at the plate. He also drove in three of CCSU's six runs.
Ryan McGrath took the loss for the Knights. He falls to 2-1 on the season.
The Blue Devils and Knights will continue the weekend series with a doubleheader on Friday beginning at 1 p.m. The series concludes on Saturday with a single game at 1 p.m.

Coward of the Week: Sean Hannity. Offers to be Waterboarded for Charity... Then Pretends He Didn't. You're a Fucking Coward Hannity.
NEW YORK — The debate over torture is getting personal for two of cable TV's prime-time hosts. After Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity made a seemingly impromptu offer last week to undergo waterboarding as a benefit for charity, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann leapt at it. He offered $1,000 to the families of U.S. troops for every second Hannity withstood the technique.
Olbermann repeated the offer on Monday's show and said in an interview Tuesday that he's heard no response. He said he'll continue to pursue it.
"I don't think he has the courage to even respond to this _ let alone do it," Olbermann said.
Fox News Channel representatives did not respond to requests for comment.
The two men are on opposite poles of a debate that has preoccupied the worlds of talk TV and radio. Hannity says waterboarding is a fair and necessary interrogation technique for suspected terrorists; Olbermann calls it torture, says it's ineffective and should not be done by Americans.
Charles Grodin was challenging Hannity on the issue on Fox last week, and asked whether he would consent to be waterboarded.
"Sure," Hannity said. "I'll do it for charity ... I'll do it for the troops' families."
It wasn't exactly clear how serious the conversation was, since Grodin joked, "Are you busy on Sunday?" and Hannity laughed.
"I'll let you do it," Hannity said.
"I wouldn't do it," Grodin said. "I'll hand you a towel when you come out of the shower."
Olbermann's offer was quick. Besides the $1,000 per second, Olbermann said he'd double it if Hannity acknowledges he feared for his life and admits that waterboarding is torture.
"The idea of putting somebody in a position they have volunteered for, for charity, to respond to their own unsupportable claims, is in many ways priceless," Olbermann said.
Olbermann, who hasn't missed any chance to criticize his ideological enemies at Fox, concedes TV competition plays a part in his offer. But he said it was sincere, because he believes Hannity has had a damaging role in the debate.
"If you expose people to reality, even with someone who is denying reality, that can have a powerful and important impact," he said.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- Cory Schneider made 22 saves for his first shutout with New Jersey, and the Devils become the last NHL team to win a game this season, posting a 4-0 victory over the New York Rangers on Saturday night.
Andrei Loktionov, Adam Henrique, Michael Ryder and Dainius Zubrus scored for the Devils (1-4-3), who ended their worst start to a season with a laugher against the injury-depleted Rangers. New York (2-5) has only two wins on its season-opening, nine-game road trip.
Jaromir Jagr and Marek Zidlicky added two assists apiece as New Jersey took some of the mounting pressure off coach Pete DeBoer by matching its season high for goals.
Henrik Lundqvist made 15 saves for the Rangers.
DeBoer has been searching for a winning lineup, and this one fell into his lap as Patrik Elias (flu) and Damien Brunner (upper body soreness) were sidelined unexpectedly.
Loktionov and Rostislav Olesz took their places in the lineup and played big roles as the Devils took a 2-0 lead in the first period.
Loktionov opened the scoring at 7:22, scoring on a rebound after Lundqvist left a big rebound on a point shot by defenseman Anton Volchenkov.
Olesz set up Henrique's second goal of the season a little more than five minutes later, chipping a puck off the side boards to send his linemate on a break into the Rangers' zone. Henrique beat Lundqvist with a shot over his shoulder from the left circle.
The goal came a little more than 20 seconds after Schneider stopped Benoit Pouliot in close. The goalie was a little lucky early in the second period when Taylor Pyatt's shot from the right circle hit the post, and the rebound slid through the crease.
The shutout was the 10th of Schneider's NHL career. He was acquired from Vancouver for a first-round draft pick in June and had been 0-2-1 in his first three starts.
New Jersey took command six minutes into the second period when Michael Ryder finished off passes by Jagr and Zidlicky with a power-play goal on a shot from two strides inside the blue line.
Zubrus closed out the scoring, backhanding the rebound of Bryce Salvador's shot past a defenseless Lundqvist.
It was surprising that Salvador was back in the game. He had crashed into the boards late in the first period after being checked by Pouliot, and had difficulty getting to his feet despite several attempts.
The Rangers played without Rick Nash (concussion), Ryan Callahan (broken thumb) and Carl Hagelin, who has been out all season after shoulder surgery. Callahan was hurt late in the Rangers' 2-0 win over Washington on Wednesday.
NOTES: Olesz earned his first point since he scored a goal while playing for Florida in February 2011. He spent most of last season in the minors. ... The Rangers have two more games on the road before their home opener on Oct. 28. ... Veteran Darroll Powe was called up from Hartford of the AHL to replace Callahan. ... The Devils have three power-play goals in eight games.
