Skip to comments.Pig race plan leads to dirty argument
Posted on 12/02/2006 10:01:25 AM PST by LOC1
KATY All snout and tail, the pink and brown pigs contentedly rooting in the wire pen behind Craig Baker's stone shop seem piggishly comic. They're racing pigs, after all, and that's got to be funny.
But few in the sprawling subdivisions along Baker Road are laughing.
These pigs are subtle weapons, here to show the new neighbors the Katy Islamic Association they aren't entirely welcome. Tension has been growing in this west Harris County community since September when the Muslim group announced it had purchased 11 acres south of Interstate 10 to build a mosque, school, community center and athletic facilities.
Hard feelings started when Baker met association officials, who, he said, advised him he should move his stone shop.
"They told me it was time for my family to pack up," said Baker, whose family has occupied its land since the early 1800s. "They said a mosque and a marble shop didn't go too good together."
Angered by the perceived insult and aware of Islamic dietary laws banning pork consumption, Baker responded by announcing he would stage weekly pig races on his Muslim neighbors' holiest day of prayer.
Since then, the conflict has escalated as residents called a town hall meeting to discuss the planned complex and an anti-mosque page featuring a cartoon pig and a running tally of terrorism victims was posted on the Internet. Numerous complaint calls have been made to county officials.
Claims and counterclaims have flown. Critics raise concerns about traffic congestion, flooding, possible adverse impact on property values and the "unknown."

I live near this new mosque. I've seen the home now being used as a place of worship, and I've seen the pig pen.
Some points of interest:
Craig Baker's family has deep roots in Texas that go back before the Texas Revolution from Mexico. There are over 450 mentions of the Baker name in the Handbook of Texas, some of them fairly famous. It is not clear who in that long list is directly related to Craig Baker, but certainly some of them are. In any event, the Baker family were one of the pioneer settlers in this area.
To be strong armed to leave the family property by new neighbors, who have only owned their property for a week, is a bit ridiculous. Craig Baker has offered to pay for a polygraph test for himself and the two owners of the mosque to determine who is telling the truth about that strong arm tactic. So far, no takers.
To develop the land the way the mosque has indicated in the press will require something like 25 acres. The mosque currently owns 11 acres. Coincidentally, Craig Baker owns about 14 acres.
The owners of the mosque have been offered a million dollars for their land, which they purchased for substantially less than that amount. Until today, they have refused to even discuss that offer. Today they told a reporter that the offer was way too low for them to purchase an alternative site.
The mosque has rebuffed requests from several surrounding home owners associations to discuss their plans. The mosque has been, and continues to be, very opaque about their plans. Further, they have begun construction of a parking lot without appropriate County approval. That has been stopped by local citizens and the mosque is now going through the approval process.
Local residents also protested when a Baptist Church was developed in the area, because the church destroyed a large number of trees and installed intrusive parking lights. Eventually, agreement was reached on using about 1/10th the number of lights, to lessen the impact on the neighbors. The point of this is that the community has a history of resisting intrusions that impact the quality of life as perceived by the residents, no matter what the religion. The opposition to the mosque really is not a religious thing at all.
Islam as a culture has become viewed with suspicion throughout out the world, by people who are not members of that culture. The reasons are obvious. Locally, two aspiring Muslim jihadists were arrested within the past few days and charged with conspiracy to aid the Taliban. The arrests followed their observed firearms training in a facility north of Houston owned by the Islamic Society of Greater Houston.
Part of the basis for suspicion is the stated philosophy that lying and deceiving outsiders is an acceptable tactic within Islam, if it furthers that group's aims.
Because of the existing well founded suspicion of Islamic culture, it is incumbent of the developers of the local mosque to be particularly open and transparent with their plans and intentions. Otherwise, the surrounding community justifiably views their intentions with concern and dismay.
MORE PIGS PLEASE!!! What a GREAT idea!! B-B-Q RIBS EVERYWHERE!!
Yum. I can't think of a more delightful aroma than that on a Friday night.
Forget Fish Fries....B-B-Q only now!!
Here is an instructive tale for any other "houses of worship" in
the area to steer wide and clear of the Islamics.
Give the Muslims an inch...they'll take a mile (or much more).
And maybe effectively take your church's parking lot.
(you'll have to scroll about half-way down for the passage reproduced below)
After 9/11, Dar al-Hijrah tried to strike up an interfaith dialogue with
area churches. The neighboring Church of Christ, for one, was willing
to participate -- that is, until the mosque wanted its pastor and
flock to accept Islam. The church, along with a neighboring
church, nonetheless have agreed to allow the growing mosque to
use their parking lots during Friday prayer services, which draws
some 3,000 Muslims from around the Washington area. But for their
generosity, the 9/11 mosque would be out of business.
Wherever a Muslim foot has trod, that land forevermore shall be subject to Islamic rule.
Nothing bashful about those fellows, is there? The ratchet is only supposed to work one way.
Here's to more pigs everywhere, and remind these Muslims, that a lot of the place they step here in the North American continent, there have been pigs here long before they were, and pigs have dropped a considerable amount of poop.
So somewhere, they won't know beforehand, they are going to walk exactly where some pig has passed excreted material onto their paths.
And some few among us Americans really like the taste of pork, in several different forms. "High on the hog" means something here, in terms of social standing.
Incidentally, does the Koran even actually MAKE any references to consumption of the flesh of swine? Only that they believe that the Jews are simply apes and swine made over into human form, but there is no reference as to how this situation came about. Just that the pigs and monkeys are unclean and not "halal".
Eating pork is some form of cannibalism?
I would be in favor of setting up a bratwurst stand across from every mosque in this country.
Propose to build a mall on the location, tout the massive tax revenues generated by such a mall, and then use eminent domain to get the property. A recent Supreme Court decision said that is OK!
Massive hog roasts all over America. Serve hog in front of every mosque!
Gee. It would be a shame if Baker were to open a kennel, too, considering how Muslims feel about dogs...
2,000,000 of fried porkrines ground to a fine powder. The gently sprinkled over the whole country. Leave not an acre untouched
"the Muslim group announced it had purchased 11 acres south of Interstate 10 to build a mosque, school, community center and athletic facilities."
What athletic facilities? Stoning fields and honor killing courts.
They can inhale them and really send Allah on a toot!
"Massive hog roasts all over America. Serve hog in front of every mosque!"
Gotta be on Friday and gotta get a street permit. We have thousands of traveling barbecuers with grills in tow in this nation. Perhaps it's time to round them up to help us fight these mass murderers planting themselves on our soil.
If Islam were a true religion of peace, I would never be for the above action. But because Islam is a "religion" of hate and murder, perhaps we should consider the Baker example to let these mass murderers we will not tolerate them nor their murdering "religion."
I would. Love those smoked ribs and ham. Ha ha What true harm can a hog roast do to anyone. Well...er..maybe cholesterol. Seems like a jovial way to civil disobedience.
Just a way for Americans to say we are sick of them and their ways. They don't like it? Go to their native soil. I love freedom, wish everyone could enjoy it.
This has all got to stop. Any religion advocating violence and supporting (directly or indirectly) beheading of anyone for religious reasons has go to go. It can NOT be allowed to practice in this country. Anyone who can see this as being a fundamental truth is insane.

I agree. If for some reason the vintage line was going to do one more wave and be done with, I'd be happy with that wave. It fills the last "ultimate" Han need, gets another key Luke, one of the originals (Walrusman), finishes our "ultimate" bounty hunters (aside from maybe a new Dengar), and has two great army builders (Gamorrean/Hoth Soldier). I'd be happy to see this lineup in 2009, if/when the VTSC comes back.

Simon Poulter edits What Would David Bowie Do and is more than a little unhappy with event at The Bridge
I can't verify this, but it is possible that the under-communicative oligarch Roman Abramovich is currently still enjoying the good life on St. Barts. For it is there that the Chelsea Football Club owner has been – and may well still be – enjoying an extended New Year's holiday with his pregnant girlfriend, Dasha Zhukova. And good luck to him. Everyone needs to take time out to spend with their nearest and dearest every once in a while.
Unfortunately, while Roman has been sunning himself on his Nimitz-class yacht, his football asset – managed by a hapless Rene-from-'Allo 'Allo lookalike – has acquired the sort of toxicity that turned Erin Brokovich from struggling single mother living in the Californian desert into the subject of a blockbuster movie.
Your season – it is behind you
It is, though, still the pantomime season in Britain, which means that seasonal booing and hissing is a national ritual at this time of year. So, as matinee audiences of Cub Scouts and church outings boo soap stars and game show hosts playing Baron Hardup in provincial theatres, Chelsea fans are booing anything not nailed down at Stamford Bridge.
First, there is Rafa Benitez, the ruddy-cheeked, portly Spanish restaurateur who, despite being as popular as a fart in a spacesuit before he was appointed "interim first team manager", has succeeded in galvanising his unpopularity via a variety of methods: 1) getting out of bed in the morning; 2) turning up for matches; 3) picking star striker Fernando Torres; 4) not picking club legend Frank Lampard; 5) winning some games handsomely while drawing or losing quite disastrously others.
Is it all Rafa's fault? Oh no it isn't
It's not all Rafa's fault, of course. The club's reward for Lampard and Ashley Cole continuing to be, respectively, a prolific goal scoring central midfielder and the world's still-finest left back, is to show them the door at the end of the season and not extend their contracts. Meanwhile Torres, who these days permanently carries the demeanour of a sulking 15-year-old girl, is not even responding to diagrams of cow's backsides and instructions on how to hit one with a banjo. Demba Ba, the crock-kneed Senegalese brought in from Newcastle for a fraction of the Spaniard's money is, however, scoring goals everytime he smell a goalkeeper's boot polish.
Into this background is the club's extraordinary approach to fan engagement – i.e. to not have one. This is a club that would rather do its business in private, with the owner "advised" by a coterie of people whom, it would appear, are no more qualified to advise about running a Premier League football club as I would be about running a hospital. Unless you regard Michael Emenalo, the former Nigerian defender and now Chelsea's technical director as being of distinguished experience in the game.
Thus, the rare on-pitch appearance of club chairman, Bruce Buck, making a pre-match presentation to goalkeeper Petr Čech, results in the sort of sustained and vitriolic booing chancellor George Osborne earned when turning up at the Olympics last summer to give out medals. Booing the chairman may sound like impudence bordering on frustration, but the fact that the fans were bothering to boo a club executive they'd never actually bothered about at all previously says a lot about where fan sentiment at Stamford Bridge is at the moment.
There are those – including club executives – who will continue to dismiss the religious singing of Roberto Di Matteo's name on 16 minutes each game as rambunctious fandom, even considering it morale-boosting collective sprit. It's not. Most of us do genuinely regard the sacking of Di Matteo as counter-productive, and the appointment of Benitez as poisonous as opening a Spurs club shop opposite the Emirates Stadium.
The singing for Di Matteo, even the singing for Jose Mourinho, is not just a rallying call. Chelsea – and for that we must assume Abramovich – have miscalculated too often the depth of stakeholder sentiment. It is, of course, a valid argument that Abramovich's decision to sack managers has often produced the results he'd hoped for – an improvement in form and silverware – but it would appear that with this latest act of petulance, there won't be a happy ending.
Despite a few impressive results, like the pre-Christmas mauling of a pathetic Aston Villa, who barely seemed to have turned up, Benitez is still struggling to make impact. Torres is a waste of space, although Ba has become a bright spot, but the defensive frailties that Di Matteo was suffering with are still there, if Wednesday night's embarrassing 2-0 lead turning into a 2-2 home draw to Southampton was anything to go by.
And so, as Chelsea go into a weekend when they face Arsenal at Stamford Bridge – a fixture rich in both turbulent entertainment and sour disappointment over the years – there is a creeping deflation amongst supporters of the West London club.
Most Chelsea fans have never had a problem with the club being unpopular with other fans. We don't really care. We've been perfectly happy with our club long enough – whether courting 1960s celebrities, being seen as a bunch of Fancy Dans in the 1970s, being pretty rubbish in the 80s and almost bankrupt, or being regarded as a home for ageing internationals in the pre-Abramovich, latter Ken Bates era. We have worn the "shit club, no history" goading with good grace. But whereas "shit club, no class" used to wound – but perhaps they have a point.
The constant upheaval, the inability to retain managers, the lack of consistency in player policy ("Will we not buy this summer due to lack of funds and then buy some expensive trinket of a player in the January window as a panic acquisition?"), on youth development and even stadium development.
Every football fan will find fault with their club of choice. That's why we love football. Football IS chaos! It is still our excuse – and I'll admit, an almost exclusively male preserve – to have a moan about something. Even if our team is running away with a telephone number-nil win, we'll find something to niggle.
However, the complaints against Chelsea are piling up and, yes, much has to be directed at Abramovich. Elephant in the room, and all that, but the man who has ploughed an insane amount of personal fortune into the club is also directly responsible for creating the toxicity around it.
It comes from a lack of communication. Yes, we get plenty of communication from whomever is in charge of the team from one week to the next, but do we have any idea about what is really going on at the club? No.
The back end of the horse
We assume Lampard and Cole are being treated shabbily because that is how the press is reporting it, how Lampard and Cole's people are telling it, and our instincts are receiving it. But we could be wrong. Perhaps a little explanation of the strategy would go a long way. Perhaps Abramovich himself would break cover and speak. After all, it's hard to really read a man when we only ever see that half grin of his as he stands at the back of his executive box in the Stamford Bridge West Stand, the grin occasionally evolving into high-fives with his sidekick Eugene Tennenbaum, before returning to its bemused state.
Like the wizened old crone that I am, I'd foreseen much of this disease spreading at Chelsea in November when the club's annual Halloween nightmare rendered Roberto Di Matteo redundant and Benitez installed. I even suggested that Pep Guardiola, the manager coveted by Abramovich more than any other, might be wise to give Chelsea a miss when he chose to come back to football management.
And thus it proved to be so, as arguably the greatest football coach of his generation chose Bayern Munich over anyone else. In so doing, he chose a club with history, with class, with money, with German efficiency, in a league that is quietly becoming Europe's most exciting. As opposed to a club with history, money and a boatload of dysfunction. Well, maybe an expensive super yacht-load of dysfunction.

We agree man, it' s just about how we express it. The team looks stale and unable to keep up with the big fish. Most everyone agrees that they aren't as good as they once were. Where we might disagree is that I don't think the team is capable of catching lightning in a bottle (even with Henrik, Tanev, and Santorelli) and kocking off Anahiem, San Jose or Chicago. We also might disagree on the impact mediocre managment has had on the steep decline. As you may note, many of the top teams from 2011 remain at or near the top of the league.dbr wrote:Come on man.

The truth is pretty clearly somewhere in between but if you're seriously trying to claim this team is not slumping then I'd suggest that you either don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about, or that you've sided so firmly with the RoyalDude/Pauser set that you're saying things you don't really believe (I'd guess the latter because I don't take you for a moron)..
No doubt this team is bad compared to what we've seen in the last five years but they are missing 2 of their top 3 centres right now on top of that and if you don't think it's skewing the results I just.. I don't even know what to say.
This team reminds me of the fading WCE seasons(i.e. 2006-2008). Except this time, the Twins aren't coming up to replace the top line. A team built around Kassian, Horvat and Nik Jensen isn't likely to keep Patrick Kane up at night. Remember,we have years of Kane and Toews to think about, kind of like the years of Sakic and Forsber we once dealt with.
There is no shame in admitting this group isn't the group that is going to win the Cup and starting to move assets for prospects and/or looking to change the core on the fly. Of course, our GM gave everyone a new contract and NTC.
In the mean time, there is no shame in pointing out that the team isn't good enough to compete, as evidenced by the fact that they may drop out of the playoffs in the near future.
I mean you have to look at the players who are getting outclassed on a nightly basis. This isn't down to splitting hairs about Booth, Weise, Raymond, Lapierre, or Sestito. This is a team with stars (Kesler, Sedin, Sedin, Edler, Burrows) who are not performing and have been "slumping" for 10-20 games each. But also who have not looked the same since early in the 2011-2012 season.
Time is starting to pass the team by, yet there seems to be a group of climate change deniers on these boards.
The defence is pretty good. The goalies are pretty good. But the fowards are bottom 10 in the league.
That's yer problem right there...until they regain full health and Gillis tries to improve the team. I expect that the results will continue to speak for themselves.

MARSHALL, Texas — Three people have been wounded in a hatchet attack at a Wal-Mart in east Texas and police arrested a transient on assault charges.
Marshall police Monday said two female workers and a male shopper were hurt. One employee remains hospitalized.
Detective Sonya Johnson said police are seeking a motive in Sunday morning's attack. Johnson said Christopher Hamilton of Crawford, Ark., had the hatchet with him when entering the store and he doesn't know the victims. Their names and details on their conditions weren't released.
Harris County jail records show Hamilton was being held Monday on three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Bond is $225,000 for Hamilton, who was caught in some nearby woods. No attorney was listed for him.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. didn't immediately comment.

It's hard to find any major league player who went through a 2012 season quite like Bryan LaHair did with the Cubs.
After being installed as the first baseman in spring training, LaHair got his first real shot at proving himself in the majors at 29. A hot start helped LaHair get voted onto the National League All-Star squad by his peers, even though he already had moved from first base to right field to accommodate Anthony Rizzo.
Then came the downfall, an over-the-cliff type of finish that only Wile E. Coyote could appreciate.
After the break, LaHair started for a while in right before the Cubs brought up Brett Jackson in early August, forcing David DeJesus to right...

I'm looking to move somewhere in Central or South America from Nov - March. It could be split between 2-4 places depending on the travel distances.
I have seen lots of really cool locations in the Caribbean but they all seem to be geared towards 1 week vacationers. I want to find somewhere to live, party and kitesurf.
I spent my summer in Portugal outside Lisbon kitesurfing and though it was fun the main drawback was you needed a car for everything and there was no partying in the area near the beach. Since we lived near the beach if you wanted to do anything but kite you had to drive.
The partying is a big part of what I was missing in this summer. Though I would take weekend trips to go off and party I would really like to have an area which is visited by backpackers or international people so there is always a party going on. I traveled South East Asia for 5 months and if there is a place like Kuta, in Bali for surfers but for kiteboarders somewhere in Central/South America that sounds awesome. You can drive a scooter to the spot, party the nights away and do it all over again. Or Koh Tao but instead of for diving for kiting.
I know Utila is supposed to be great for backpackers and divers but I dont know about kitesurfing there?
My main requirements are:
- 3~4 days a week to be able to kite with 15+ knots
- Flat water over waves
- Cheapish accommodation and living expenses / access to the internet for work
- Influx of international people (backpackers would be perfect)
- Party / Beach vibe location ... a place where it doesnt matter the night there is always something to do
Idea of party places: Koh Phi Phi, Kuta Bali, Lagos... places where there is always awesome parties and international crowds.
Please let me know your thoughts as I am very interested in peoples opinions.
Thanks in advance

|This article describes a concept which could impact a variety of companies, countries or industries. To see what companies and articles reference this concept page, click here.
Medicaid is the U.S. health care program for people with limited resources, and it serves low income parents, children, people with disabilities, and low income seniors. It is jointly funded by the states and the federal government and managed by the states. Medicaid is distinctly different from Medicare, which is an entitlement program funded entirely at the federal level and provides health insurance to people aged 65 and older. Medicaid is not an entitlement program, but is instead a needs-based social welfare program in which eligibility is determined by income. It covers a wider range of health services than Medicare and is funded by states as well as the federal government. It is possible to be eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare, and approximately 8.8 million Americans are enrolled in both programs.[1]
The Pharmaceutical Industry depends on Medicare and Medicaid funding for a significant percentage of its revenues. Of the two, however, Medicare's impact on the business of Health Care in America is much greater. The senior citizens of all income levels served by Medicare make up the major target population for most of the pharma industry's drugs. This is not the case for the low income, younger patients enrolled in Medicaid. Certain drugs and treatments, however, do have their revenues tied closely to Medicaid spending - notably HIV and AIDS, where more than half of people living with AIDS are estimated to receive Medicaid payments.

Staraya Russa
Earth : Europe : Russia : Northwestern Russia : Novgorod Oblast : Staraya Russa
Staraya Russa (Russian: Ста́рая Ру́сса, STAH-rah-yuh ROOH-suh) [6] is a small, historic town in the center of Novgorod Oblast, long famous domestically for its balneological mineral waters resort, but much more famous among international travelers as Dostoevsky's summer retreat, and the basis for the fictional town of Skotoprigonievsk in The Brothers Karamazov.
Staraya Russa is one of the oldest cities in Russia, founded in the tenth century as one of the principal cities of the once powerful and wealthy trading nation of the Novgorod Republic. It gained greatly in prestige with the establishment of the Monastery of the Transfiguration in the twelfth century. Its salt works made it the regional leader in salt and brine production, driving its economy, and leading to the growth of the town to nearly 5,000 inhabitants by the fifteenth century, when it was incorporated along with Novgorod into the Princedom of Muscovy.
Owing to its northwestern location, Staraya Russa has seen many battles. Well after its wooden walls had been burnt down and later replaced by stone fortifications, the town fought bloody battles against Swedish invaders for centuries, but the most devastating years of its history would come after the reign of Ivan the Terrible, during the Russian Time of Troubles of the early seventeenth century. Until the establishment of the Romanov Dynasty, the surrounding area was under the control of armed gangs and brigands, and the once-important city dwindled to a mere 38 people. Over time Staraya Russa recovered, but its fate as a town on the invasion route would come back to haunt it one last time in the twentieth century, when Hitler's forces invaded during WWII and virtually leveled the historic town.
Despite the destruction throughout the years, though, many old wooden houses (including the Dostoevsky residence) and several important churches remain intact, and other institutions, like the balneological resort, have been rebuilt. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the town's population is shrinking (along with the rest of rural Russia), and feels a sleepy backwater—actually, a great change of pace for travelers who have been spending most of their time in Saint Petersburg or Moscow. The residential areas near the rivers are quite peaceful, the locals are friendly and laid-back, and there is a lot to see with all the Dostoevsky sights. Better still, despite the Dostoevsky connection, the place is pretty much devoid of any international travelers outside of the high tourist season in summer, so you'll have the place to yourself.
Get in
By rail
From Moscow (or Pskov) you can take the Moscow–Pskov route, although this service is generally limited to one train per day, with trains running overnight.
By bus
Buses run six times daily from Novgorod, with the trip taking about 90 minutes. Even if coming from Moscow, this is a good way to avoid the hassle of limited train service and to see another incredible historical destination on the same trip.
By car
From Novgorod, follow the A116 to Shimska, then P51 to Staraya Russa (96 km).
From Moscow, follow the M9 to Rzheva and take the turn for Selizharovo. Continue on the small roads through the countryside to Ostashkov, then Demyansk, and then to Staraya Russa (~700 km).
Get around
While not a tiny town, it's still possible to get around everywhere via walking. Hailing a "cab" is a good way to speed things up if, say, you want to get back quickly to the bus back to Novgorod. A taxi from Dostoevsky's House-Museum would run only about 50 rubles. From the train/bus station, you can take buses 1, 4, 6, or 11 to the center, but given how slow the buses run, it's probably quicker to walk.
See and Do
If you are spending just a half day in town, focus on the main Dostoevsky sights—above all the house museum, with a stop by St. George church and a stroll along the river—and pay the Monastery of the Transfiguration a visit. If you have a bit more time, perhaps take a tour through the Cultural Center, and consider wandering over towards the Balneological Resort to acquaint yourself with the very Russian/Soviet tradition of mineral water sanitoria. If the weather is OK, Staraya Russa is also just a really nice place to walk around. If you aim to simply walk by the various churches, you could spend several hours on a nice amble about the town.
Ecclesiastical buildings
There are several cheap cafes/cafeterias in the town, none of which are terribly tasty, but all of which will fill you up in a pinch. The best restaurant in town is inside Hotel Polist, and is actually quite a good option, with large portions of good Russian food at provincial prices (mains will run 250-400 rubles). Outside the hotel, Cafe Il'men' is the local favorite, and is not a bad choice of watering hole.
In general, the best bar in town is either a public park or a stroll along the river. But if you are cold or otherwise want to drink in greater luxury, head over to the lobby bar at the hotel or to Cafe Il'men'.
Get out
Staraya Russa is the one real off-the-beaten-path gem anywhere nearby, so the next stop should likely be to a bigger destination like Pskov to the west, or Novgorod to the north (Novgorod is a can't miss and should definitely be paired with any trip to Staraya Russa, if you haven't already been).

Topic: Rpgs And Boba
Okay, I don't mean to be sour, but I must.
Everyone is always posting rpgs on this site about Boba Fett vs whoever, and I have read so many of them where people think that Boba Fett would be beaten.
I hate this.
Boba Fett would win almost any fight, vs any person.
Everyone thinks so incredibly close minded, that they just picture Boba Fett fighting head on, like a fool. In some scenarios this may be the best option, but Boba Fett is way smarter than that.
Super man for instance.
Everyone would probably say that SuperMan would beat Boba because the only thing that hurts him is kryptonite.
Well, I would say that it would be pretty freakin easy for Boba to get ahold of some kryptonite.
Boba Fett would win in almost any "fight" based on the fact that he is cunning, and smarter than your average head on shooter arsenal man (master chief).
Am I wrong? Tell me if I'm wrong. Tell me of one character that would beat Boba Fett...

XL Video's history with Take That dates right back to their first touring days in the 1990's, when Des Fallon (now a director of XL Video) worked as the video crew chief. Since then, XL has enthusiastically supported Take That and Chris Vaughan at The Production Office, and has invested substantially in new video technology each time they have hit the road, and in particular since their comeback in 2006.
Says Fallon, "Take That and their production team have always been prepared to push technical and imaginative boundaries to help deliver the very best in live performance. It's refreshing and inspiring working with those embracing the spirit of creative audacity and adventure".
For the "Circus" stadium tour, XL Video sourced and purchased 140 square metres of 15 mm pitch high resolution PIX LED F - 15 LED screen - a new lightweight massively bright 6000 NITS product. This was framed by a circular truss which moved up from the stage and into position near the start of the show.
XL designed custom metalwork for the panels to maximise the rigging and de-rigging speeds, and also so it dovetailed elegantly with the rigging and set design elements. The super-quick screen assembly time was a great feat for such a large surface area.
The PIX LED F - 15 was driven by inbuilt dual intelligent processors running in parallel for full redundancy. It is also IP65 rated, an essential requirement as the stage design had no roof. "It took a lot of research, but proved the perfect product that absolutely fulfilled all the criteria," says Des Fallon.
XL made further new purchases for the playback side of the TT video equation - 4 new HD Hippotizer digital media servers. These were operated by Richard Shipman, running an array of special content produced by Onedotzero.
XL also supplied a full camera and PPU package, consisting of 8 new HD compatible Sony E30 cameras with an assortment of lenses, which were positioned around the stadiums for maximum coverage of both stages. The mix was cut by Matt Askem using a fully-loaded Grass Valley Kayak console. GVG DVE's were used to deal with the different aspect ratios of the show's 4 screens.
XL's crew chief on the tour was Stuart Heaney.

Former S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford is 90 percent certain to run for the 1st District congressional seat that he once held, two knowledgeable sources told The State today.
Sanford, whose 2009 affair while he was governor damaged his political aspirations at the time, is not expected to formally announce his run until U.S. Rep. Tim Scott, R-North Charleston, is sworn into the U.S. Senate on Jan. 3.
Scott was appointed by Gov. Nikki Haley on Monday to succeed Jim DeMint, R-Greenville, who is resigning to become the new head of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
A special election will be held in the spring to fill Scott's seat which includes much of the Lowcountry coast. Filing starts three weeks after Scott is sworn in.
Sanford has name recognition and a $100,000 head start with money left over in his congressional election fund from 12 years ago, experts said. He likely has cleared several hurdles in all-but-deciding to run, sources said.
"He needed to line up financial support, he needed to get the infrastructure and, if hasn't already, he needed make this good with Jenny," a GOP operative said referring with Sanford's ex-wife.
His former wife was on Gov. Haley's short list to succeed DeMint. Jenny Sanford has not ruled out a run for Congress in interviews, but sources don't expect her to run against her ex-husband.
Mark Sanford received a 30 percent favorability rating in a state poll take earlier this month from Public Policy Polling. More than half had an unfavorable opinion of the former governor.
Those poll results don't reflect the 1st district, a bulk of which includes Charleston and Beaufort counties where Sanford lives, the sources said.
"He would do better there," an operative said.
Sanford, a two-term Republican governor, was Tea Party frugal before it was politically fashionable, even voting against federal money for the new Arthur Ravenel Bridge in Charleston. He served three terms in the U.S. House, representing the 1st District, from 1995-2001 before he was elected governor in 2002.
Once considered a possible GOP dark-horse presidential contender, Sanford's political career unraveled when he disappeared from the Governor's Mansion, reportedly to walk the Appalachian Trail.
Instead, the married father of four had gone to Argentina to see his lover.
After being met by a reporter from The State at the Atlanta airport upon his return from Argentina, Sanford tearfully confessed. Subsequently divorced from Sanford, Gov. Sanford escaped impeachment but paid a record state ethics fine for using state assets.
Since leaving office, Sanford has appeared on Fox News as a political expert and commentator.
Sanford also became engaged to his Argentinian girlfriend, Maria Chapur.

CHULLPA KHASA, Bolivia – Persistent heavy rains have forced Bolivians to suspend the search for victims in a mudslide that buried half of a village in the central part of the country.
Fears that more loose earth and rock could further overwhelm the hillside Quechua-speaking village of Chullpa Khasa in Cochabamba state halted the rescue effort Monday.
Families buried three victims of the Saturday night slide, but 11 others are still missing, most of them children. The slide also swallowed up crops and sheep.
Large swaths of Bolivia have been soaked by heavy downpours that have sent rivers over the banks in the country's Amazon.
Authorities say more than 47,000 families have been affected and 42 deaths since the rainy season began at the end of November.

There's a loan-extension scam going around that the Federal Trade Commission says you should know about.
The agency said last week it had filed complaints against two California-based companies that advertised they would help consumers in financial distress renegotiate their auto loans.
Instead of helping consumers, the FTC charged, the companies simply kept the money. Not only that, in some cases the companies are accused of telling consumers to stop making monthly payments, which if anything served to speed up the repossession process.
The companies are Hope for Car Owners in Folsom, Calif., and a company known variously as Vehicle Loan Modification, Auto Debt Consulting or Car Loans Modification, in San Diego, according to the FTC complaints.
There are no allegations the companies in question had any connection with auto dealers or with auto lenders.
But you need to pay attention because loan extensions are not that uncommon, according to SEC documents.
Ally Financial, the preferred lender for General Motors, Chrysler Group and others, said in its 2011 annual report that loans representing about 7 percent of its outstanding total had been granted an extension or a rewrite at some point. GM Financial, a subprime specialist, said that about 22 percent of a pool of loans that were being offered in a recent sale of asset-backed securities had been granted an extension.
What should a dealer say if a customer walks in and wants a loan extension?
The FTC advises consumers to contact their lender directly, instead of paying a fee to a middleman, said Malini Mithal, FTC assistant director of the Division of Financial Practices, in a phone interview last week.
That's a good response for dealers, too.

Double Wide Pine Log House Mountain Log Cabin with More Amazing Pictures Inside
When thinking of different types of homes to live in, park model cabins may be of interest. In this time salaries and wages seem to be stagnant while home prices and the cost of living soars. With no end in sight to economic fluctuations, people are seeking alternative options for housing. It wasnt too long ago that the average middle or upper-middle-class person could afford a second home to use as a vacation home or a cabin. As time has gone on, this is becoming less likely which is why options like park model cabins and RVs have become such a great option for a cabin at the lake or a second home. These prefab units create an option for people who want to have a second home at the lake to use in the summer, or even for people who want to use one as a permanent residence. There are many benefits to owning a park model and the first great thing about them is their affordability. A modular park home can cost as little as $20,000 at their starting price. So for the price of a newer car, you could own your own a home. There are park models that are built on wheels that make them easy to move around as needed. So if a person wants to spend the summers in the north and winters in the south with all of the comforts of home, they can do so.
Park model homes also give the owner plenty of space and all of the comforts of home in a compact size, so its great for people who are first-time home-owners or people who want to downsize, and of course, those who want a second home. Usually, park models will be around 400 square feet in size, and the floor plans include a living room, kitchen, bathroom and at least one bedroom. More space can be added onto the homes, and some of them include loft areas, decks and storage spaces. When the unit is parked, you can build a deck and also use the space under the deck as extra storage for tools and outdoor gear. Some park home owners also build sun rooms onto their home, or a screened in porch to keep out the bugs in the summer time.
People who are purchasing a pre-existing park home thats already in a community will find that purchasing their park model will be easier than buying a regular home. They wont have to pay property taxes since its a land lease situation. Also, for most park home communities, its very easy to sell your park model when it comes time, plus, you will gain the appreciation value the longer you live in it. Park model homes are also built very well and have to pass different tests to prove their ability to stand up to harsh weather and storms, so you dont have to worry about them being less capable of withstanding the elements. Plus, they are also built light enough that they can be moved onto another property if need be. Many people who live in park models love the sense of community that comes with living in a park model area. There are some great communities in the United States and Canada that provide a nice living situation for people, some of the communities are age-restricted in certain areas, though. If you don't need all of the space that a traditional home offers, then perhaps a park model home could be for you.

Welcome to the Game Day Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's 51st game of the season on Jan. 21, 2010.

Yeah, Calgary got demolished in the most embarrassing game I have seen in my entire time as a Flames supporter, and it's not likely to stop tonight.
I'm sure Darryl Sutter, then Brent Sutter, then the assistant coaches, then the captains, then the veterans, then the equipment managers, and then maybe even the PR staff got in everyone's face in the dressing room in the last two days, and that might have been good enough to fire everyone up to the point that they'd steamroll their next opponent had the game been against, say, Nashville or something.
But this is the Chicago goddamn Blackhawks and the Flames don't beat them. It's really that simple. They are so deep at forward and on defense that any attempts to defeat them are turned aside with a laugh. A five-goal deficit 10 minutes into a game? "Ha ha ha," say the Blackhawks, "do you really think that is enough to defeat us?" Then later this season they were like "Hey you know how the Sharks are gonna beat you guys by eight goals.. no, they are, just believe us. We know. Anyway, we're gonna beat you 7-1 tonight just to kinda give you a bit of a taste of how bitter that kind of defeat is. Y'know, as a public service."
I swear that conversation probably happened.
This game tonight is probably going to be another multiple-goal loss for the Flames. I don't see any other way around that. But if they somehow win, wouldn't that just be the funniest thing you ever saw?
The Calgary Flames (26-18-6 for 58 points. Seventh in the West, third in the Northwest) and the Chicago Blackhawks (34-12-4 for 72 points. Second in the West, first in the Central).
7:30 p.m. Mountain time and 9:30 p.m. Eastern time. All other time zones should prepare to have their minds blown.
Pengrowth Saddledome, Calgary, Alberta.
Calgary is 12-10-3 at home this year, but haven't beaten Chicago in 400 straight games. The Blackhawks are 13-7-3 on the road and have lost just two of their last 11 in regulation.
What (to hate about the Blackhawks)
Toews, Kane, Hossa — How is that even fair up front? They have scored 32 goals against Calgary in six regular-season games over the last two seasons. That's an average of 5.33 per game. Absurd.
Keith, Seabrook, Barker — How is that even fair at the back? They have allowed 13 goals in those same six games (2.17 per) but that's with Calgary having scored five in that one terrible, awful game earlier this year. Outside of that game, obviously an aberration, that's eight goals allowed in five games. A goals-against of 1.60. Ridiculous.
They never lose to Calgary — Six straight wins, and no end in sight. Calgary has earned two points of the 12 available in those games.
Because Tuesday wasn't horrifying enough. Enjoy the game and oh my god no in the comments section.

March 7, 2008
LOS ANGELES (AP) -Alex Harris scored 25 points, Ivan Elliott scored 16 and UC Santa Barbara defeated Cal State Northridge 77-66 Thursday night to clinch a share of the Big West Conference regular-season title with one game to play.
Harris and Elliott combined for 11 field goals in 22 attempts, and Harris made 12 of 16 free throws for the Gauchos (22-7, 11-4). They need only win at eighth-place Long Beach State on Saturday to earn the top seed in the conference tournament.
UCSB was the preseason favorite.
Deon Tresvant led Northridge (19-9, 11-4) with 25 points, and Josh Jenkins scored 12.
The Matadors can wrap up a share of their first regular-season title, the No. 2 seed in the tournament and only their sixth 20-win season in 50 years with a victory Saturday against sixth-place Cal Poly.
The top two seeds earn byes into the tournament semifinals.
James Powell scored 12 points, including a turnaround from the top of the key that put the Gauchos back up by double digits after Tresvant's six in a row cut the lead to eight.
UCSB shot 47 percent from the field and held the Matadors to 40 percent.

RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming will be represented at the presidential inaugural parade thanks to a last-minute effort by Wind River Indian Reservation residents.
A group of 13 dancers and others plan to fly to Washington, D.C., on Saturday even though organizers are still about $6,000 short of their scaled-down fundraising goal. Northern Arapaho tribal liaison Gary Collins said he's buying one-way tickets to stretch the money at the outset and hoping more comes in.
Originally, he wanted to raise $35,000 to send a bigger group. He said he only had two weeks to raise money after the Presidential Inaugural Committee asked for help making sure one of the most conservative states was represented in the parade.
Committee spokeswoman Aoife McCarthy confirmed that the group would be the only one representing Wyoming. She said having marchers that represent the nation's spirit, values and diversity is a priority for the group.
Collins said all the money was raised privately, including some money from a benefactor working with the committee. The state, which has required its agencies to cut their budgets because of reduced tax revenue, wasn't able to provide any money in such a short amount of time.
Collins said he decided to move ahead with the trip anyway because most members of the group have never been to Washington before and some have never been far from the reservation or Wyoming. He said they'll be able to share their experience with other members of the tribes when they return home.
"I want to seize the window of opportunity," he said.

Baseball, Just Around the Corner
Baseball has arrived for the Bisons! Well, not in Buffalo quite yet but in Florida the Bisons will be playing their first game of the spring in Winter Haven against Round Rock.
During the off season, all of us that contribute to Bisons.com have been developing new ideas on how to bring you closer to the Herd on and off the field. Instead of waiting around, we're unavailing more features than every before! After all, this is the "Year of the Bisons Fan."
You've already seen the new look of the Bisons homepage and increased video features, to pull a couple off the top of my head. In the next few weeks you'll read more stories about the team and players as they prepare to open the season in Virginia. Speaking of getting the season started, I hope you'll join the Bisons as we return back to WWKB 1520 or at Bisons.com for all the exciting action.
The roster has started to take shape following some moves made by the Tribe earlier in the week. Righty Adam Miller and lefty Reid Santos were both optioned to the Bisons while southpaw Chuck Lofgren was sent to minor league camp too. On Thursday the Indians added Brian Slocum and Tony Sipp to the Bisons roster. Check out the official releases with more details by clicking here.
I can't throw the entire scoop on "The Dish" during our first post but there will be plenty more news from the Open House at Dunn Tire Park on Saturday and the "What's New Event" as the season approaches.
Many of the traditions you've come to expect will return but we can guarantee that you'll have a new fan experience this year like never before.
As always, we encourage your questions and commnets. Feel free to email the blog and broadcast booth (or if you're super savy, send us a text message!) at firstname.lastname@example.com.

UH statement on free speech lawsuit against UH HiloUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Director of Communications, External Affairs and University Relations
The University of Hawai'i was informed on April 24, 2014 that two students at UH Hilo filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court alleging that the university violated their free speech rights on campus. A copy of the complaint can be found here: http://www.hawaii.edu/offices/eaur/docs/Burch_v._UH.pdf"
The university has issued the following statement in response to the lawsuit:
The University of Hawai'i is committed to free expression and the open exchange of ideas.
This case involves the application of specific policies on one of our campuses that were implemented to protect those values while preserving the educational environment for all students. The policies were developed in a manner completely independent of any specific viewpoint, perspective or content.
The university has initiated a review of the policies involved and the manner in which they were enforced. We will make any changes that are needed to ensure that free expression and First Amendment rights are fully protected on that campus and throughout the University of Hawai'i System.

Officials say ordinance is problem-free…summer withstanding
ARENAC COUNTY — Since it became active six months ago, the Arenac County ORV (off-road vehicle) ordinance, according to county road and law enforcement officials, hasn't created a problematic situation…yet.
According to Arenac County Sheriff James Mosciski, there haven't been any injuries, citations or accidents reported in the first six months; but he says the approaching summer will play a bigger role in determining if there will be any law enforcement issues with the ordinance.
"I, personally, don't think it (ORV ordinance) will be a problem," Mosciski said. "But with this being the first summer, it's hard to say."
He added an influx of Southerners traveling to Arenac County this summer, possibly with ORVs in-tow, might affect that perception.
Lewis Ostrander, Arenac County Road Commissioner, says the road commission hasn't experienced any problems to this point, as far as road conditions are concerned.
"To the best of my knowledge there hasn't been any problems," Ostrander said. "The road I live on, there's a few people who drive their ORVs, but I haven't seen a lot elsewhere.
"I wouldn't be surprised, when summer comes, if more people are using them, especially with people traveling north from down South. There definitely could be [problems]. We'll have to wait and see. Arenac County has never experienced this before."
According to both Mosciski and Ostrander, no townships have opted out of the ordinance, which is allowed per ordinance language. Some township board members told county commissioners they would opt out of it while the Arenac County Board of Commissioners was considering passage of the ordinance last year.
"It (opting out) could happen in the summer, if things get wild," Mosciski said, adding the road commission also has the ability to shut down roads if they feel the ordinance is detrimental to safety and/or if road conditions aren't capable of handling ORV traffic on top of normal traffic.
"There's a couple (townships) that have expressed interest, but nothing yet," Ostrander said. "[The road commission] hasn't decided on anything."
Mosciski added there currently aren't any ORV trails in Arenac County or immediate plans to install any, although, there are trails available in surrounding counties (Ogemaw, Gladwin and northern-Bay county).

(Another random thing from the same zine)
First we must define what it means to hack an OS.
I am sure many of you conjure up images of Trinity gaining root access via an SSHD exploit, or perhaps of the NetBus GUI after connecting to an "0wned" Win98 box, or perhaps a directory listing in your web browser after unicoding an IIS box. Yes all of these are different hacks, though they are not actually OS hacks. Why are these hacks not OS hacks? In the first, Trinity compromises the SSHD and not the OS, the OS acts as it should in given the SSHD root access, which it needs to bind to port 22. The Win98 architecture is designed without a trusted computing base, as such it cannot separate objects and subjects so it is working well within its design to give the NetBus server and client full control over the system. The IIS attack is the same, IIS has been compromised to act in a new way, but still well within the OS's intended scope, as with the SSHD attack you will note that the IIS process gains no extra privileges or permissions beyond what the OS has already granted to it.
So, what is an OS hack?
An OS hack would be a method of forcing or tricking the OS into doing something it wasn't designed or configured to do. This could be attacking the kernel directly to elevate your privileges or even simply gaining access to an object that the OS has not granted access to. The former has been covered a zillion times over, all about how to "root" something. That latter however is very frequently glossed over despite the fact that it is mathematically infeasible to accurately predict rights propagations in your standard single level system (NT, UN*X, Linux, etc). The Harrison, Ruzzo, and Ullman (HRU) model from 1976 (you'd think this would be fixed by now) discusses how read/write permissions are transitive for example:
HRU Path:
if X cannot write to Z
and X can read write to Y
and if Y can read write to Z
then X can write to Z
The same works for read from, this is a clear case where standard rwx controls will fail and allow an attacker to bypass the security policy. Rights propagation of this type, as I stated above is infeasible, if not impossible to predict especially in an environment where subjects are allowed to set the permissions of object they own. Additionally the UN*X protection model requires multiple security operations per command, so individual grants cannot be approved. The end result? The OS cannot effectively protect anything! Remember, it isn't always needed to "root" a system, sometimes gaining read access to something you shouldn't have read access to can be enough to cost a company millions of dollars.
A simple solution to this problem was proposed by Bell and LaPadula as (amazingly enough) the Bell-LaPadula Confidentiality Model (BLCM). The BLCM uses confidentiality labels to divide the system in a hierarchical manner eg. "Unclassified", "Classified", "Confidential", "Secret", "Top Secret", and "If we even told you the name of this level we'd have to kill you". The way these levels work is quite simple and has been mathematically proven to never disclose anything they oughtn't, thus the issue of rights propagation is greatly cured. (Although it lends rise to other problems not covered by this text) The BLCM has two rules:
S(L) can only write to O(>=L)
S(L) can only read from O(<=L)
In short subjects cannot write to objects below their level (*-property) and may not read objects above their own level (simple security property). This ensures that data only aggregates up, never down so confidentiality is maintained. How then is it possible to hack this type of system? To make data flow down rather than up?
If the security policy won't let you do what you want, go around it.
"A covert channel is any communication channel that can be exploited by a process to transfer information in a manner that violates the system's security policy. There are two types of covert channels: storage channels and timing channels. Covert storage channels include all vehicles that would allow the direct or indirect writing of a storage location by one process and the direct or indirect reading of it by another. Covert timing channels include all vehicles that would allow one process to signal information to another process by modulating its own use of system resources in such a way that the change in response time observed by the second process would provide information."
And to think, some of you still think the Orange book is useless. (""covert timing channels" linux" returns 41 results on Google, most are references to the orange book glossary or talk about networking, heh.)
But how do we use a covert channel to defeat the BLCM? Remember, the BCLM applies to everything on the system, so your devices like the printer, untrusted net connection, and floppy drive will all be the lowest security levels, thus preventing high security data from being removed as you cannot write to these devices (*-property). Robert Mullen came up with perhaps the first example of a good use of a covert timing channel attack way back in 1976 (Gotta love security issues from before I was born that still have yet to be resolved heh) in a Multics lab at MIT. With a user of level "Unclassified" he wrote a trojan horse process up to level "Top Secret." (as allowed by the *-property) This trojan would then read or not read from a predefined set of pages in a public library file, the receiver process running at the level of "Unclassified" read from the same predefined set of pages and determined if they were already in the core. Timing the page reads allowed the processes to communicate in a manner similar to Morse Code. The data is written down and may now be removed from the system. Keep in mind, this can be done both as a trojan horse or as an insider hack. As good security minded folk, we must never forget the inside job.
Now again we have a situation where two resources sharing just read access to a single resource allows the propagation of rights. Could it possibly be worse? It could!
Covert storage attacks work in an even more basic transfer of data via predictable changes in an area of storage, by it memory used by a particular application, available sectors on a particular drive, and changes in swap space are all examples. I don't think a more in-depth description of this type of attack is required as I suspect its most basic forms are quite obvious.
I have seen many of various types (NT, 2k, Linux, OBSD, Trusted Solaris, Tru64 to name a few) all owned by covert channel attacks. These attacks of course require near minimal access to two accounts on the system. This is not as complicated as it might sound at first. Start with a low level legit/hacked account than using the issues presented by the HRU model above either by an access hack (following the HRU path) or by using one of the services running on the system (which is likely and you are likely to have some level of access to them) these services tend to spend at least some time as an administrative level user and from there you should be back in more familiar territory. Also, do not be fooled by root's having access to everything, this doesn't follow the HRU Path, root needs to have explicit rights, not implied root rights. Once you have your second account it is a trivial matter to use the covert storage channel to transfer data as you please. This is most useful against servers with sandboxing and process protection (HYDRA and BRICK Server come to mind, but to be fair, BRICK server only claims to protect against "naïve attacks"-http://www.thirdpig.com/security.htm ) and is frequently overkill on standard systems and only most useful if you wish to bypass various types of auditing or to monitor user sessions in real time.
As for code examples, heh good luck! If you had these would you give them up? (But seriously, the application will vary so widely from need to need that packaged code is gonna be worthless)

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 750,000 Americans suffer a heart attack each year. For many people, early warning signs appear in the months, weeks, or days before a full-blown heart attack. Recognizing these warning signs and seeking medical help could save your life. If you experience any of the symptoms below, notify your doctor.
Nausea, Indigestion, or Fullness
Nausea, indigestion, vomiting, or a feeling of fullness that lasts for more than a few days may not be related to your stomach. When oxygen-rich blood is not moving through your circulatory system, the body may respond by sending pain signals to the abdomen.
Pain in the Jaw or Arms
When your heart is struggling, it sends out pain signals that can radiate up to your jaw and down your arms. The pain comes and goes. It is not persistent like the pain from a pulled muscle or dental issue. The pain may be accompanied by numbness, tightness, or tingling sensations.
Feeling exhausted throughout the day with no known cause could be a sign of heart trouble.
Constant worrying or anxiety that is not related to a specific stressor in your life should be addressed. You may have trouble falling asleep at night, or you may wake up in the middle of the night plagued by anxiety or feelings of doom and distress.
Shortness of Breath
Many people attribute breathing issues to a lung problem, when in reality they are experiencing a lack of oxygen in the blood. You may have trouble taking a deep breath, become easily winded, or have periods of feeling dizzy and light-headed.
Upper Back Pain
Pay attention to pain across the upper back that radiates out toward the shoulders. The pain may come and go, and is not related to a known injury such as a pulled muscle.
Chest Pain or Pressure
Long before a full-fledged heart attack occurs, you may experience a tightening or pressure in the chest. It may feel like somebody is squeezing your heart. The feeling may come and go, and often lasts for a few minutes.
Paying close attention to your body could prevent a heart attack. If you experience any of these symptoms, request an appointment with your doctor right away. If you think you may be experiencing a heart attack, call 911. Do not attempt to drive yourself to the hospital. When it comes to a heart attack, minutes matter.
Chest Pain Accolades
The Memorial Health Heart & Vascular Institute holds Chest Pain Accreditation with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care. This accreditation proves that we meet or exceed quality measures for patients who show symptoms of heart attack or acute coronary syndrome.
