 Heart Attack: Coronary Artery Disease: Merck Manual Home Edition
Heart attack (myocardial infarction) is a medical emergency in which some of the heart's blood supply is suddenly and severely reduced or cut off, causing the heart muscle (myocardium) to die because it is deprived of its oxygen supply.
Usually, the most recognizable symptom of a heart attack is pain in the middle of the chest that may spread to the back, jaw, or left arm.
Parts of the heart that are particularly susceptible to rupture during or after a heart attack are the wall separating the two ventricles (septum), the external heart wall, and the muscles that open and close the mitral valve.

 Heart Attack - Texas Heart Institute Heart Information Center   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
A heart attack usually signals its onset with sudden, powerful chest pain that patients often say feels like a crushing or squeezing sensation or a very heavy weight on their chest.
For some people, a heart attack feels like a burning sensation, similar to indigestion or heartburn, and the pain may be in only a small area of the chest.
The goals of heart attack treatment are to return blood flow to your heart muscle, bring back a regular heartbeat, and give your heart time to recover.

 Heart Attack (myocardial infarction) by MedicineNet.com
A heart attack (also known as a myocardial infarction) is the death of heart muscle from the sudden blockage of a coronary artery by a blood clot.
Coronary heart diseases include heart attacks, sudden unexpected death, chest pain (angina), abnormal heart rhythms, and heart failure due to weakening of the heart muscle.
Unlike exertional or rest angina, heart muscle dies during a heart attack, and loss of the muscle is permanent.

 Common Drug May Save Lives After Heart Attack
In the study, researchers analyzed data from more than 170,000 people who were admitted to a hospital due to heart attack from a national registry.
They compared the risk of death or other complications following heart attack among people who had been treated with statins before the heart attack, those who received statins within 24 hours after heart attack, and those who did not receive statins or who had discontinued use at the time of hospitalization.
People who were not taking statins at the time of heart attack but were started on the drugs within 24 hours of hospitalization had a 58% lower risk of in-hospital death compared with those not given statins.

 Panic Attack or Heart Attack
Heart disease in women is often mistaken for panic attack with shortness of breath, anxiety and indigestion.
Both panic attack and heart attack have similar symptoms because they trigger the body’s "fight or flight" response, but, if symptoms last for more than 2-3 minutes or the pain leaves and then returns, it could be a heart attack.
Finally, the "Gold Standard" for diagnosing heart disease with the most accuracy in both women and men is cardiac catheterization with angiography because it allows doctors to visually assess blood flow through the coronary arteries.

 BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | US suffers worst Iraq attack yet
Before Tuesday's attack, the worst single incident for the US military in Iraq was a helicopter crash in Mosul in November 2003, which killed 17 soldiers.
The Mosul attack came as UK Prime Minister Tony Blair made an unannounced visit to Baghdad, 370km (250 miles) to the south.
Much of the city centre is off limits to Iraqi security forces and US troops, who have been the target of daily attacks during the last month.

Saudi officials said the attack bore the hallmarks of al-Qaeda, which carried out a similar strike in May, but it is not clear why the compound was hit.
International condemnation of the attack was swift, and Arab countries in particular expressed shock that it took place during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The BBC's Heba Saleh, reporting from the region, says those who authorised the attack may have been aiming to provoke an exodus of foreign workers who are vital for the Saudi economy.

Experts called it the most damaging attack on the Internet in 18 months as networks across Asia, Europe and the Americas were effectively shut down, Reuters reported.
The White House was notified about the attack after it was discovered early Saturday, said Tiffany Olson, a spokeswoman for the President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board.
Worms of this nature are often precursors to a different type of attack called "distributed denial of service." In that case, computers infected with a worm or other program are directed to send a flood of information to a specific Internet location and force it off-line.

The attack came as Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz was in the hotel just one floor above where the soldier was killed.
Wolfowitz was unhurt, and continued with a Sunday schedule that included a visit to a Baghdad police station and a military patrol of the neighborhood near where the attackers had fired their missiles.
Despite Wolfowitz's optimism, the attack on the hotel -- home to visiting dignitaries and members of the U.S. occupation authority -- illustrated the vulnerability of American occupation forces here and the insecurity that continues to plague Baghdad seven months after the U.S.-led invasion to topple President Saddam Hussein.

The attacking pilots and everyone in the Israeli war room knew that they were attacking an American ship, the major said.
Yet Israel and its defenders continue to stand by their claim that the attack was a "tragic accident" in which Israel mistook the most modern electronic surveillance vessel in the world for a rusted-out 40-year-old Egyptian horse transport.
The fact is, however, that the Navy's "investigation" examined only the quality of the crew's training, the adequacy of communications and the performance of the crew under fire.

 Air-Attack.com---> Switchblade
On the forward-swept wing, ailerons remained unstalled at high angles of attack because the air over the forward swept wing tended to flow inward toward the root of the wing rather than outward toward the wing tip as on an aft-swept wing.
But when a digital fly-by-wire flight control system is paired with onboard high speed computers, fly by wire digital control system, super-responsive wing actuators and flexible composite material wings, the result is a FSW aircraft can fly rings around anything in the sky including most modern fighters.
The X-29 flew successfully for many years proving that not only was a FSW aircraft feasible but the design could also lead to future fighters with outstanding dogfighting and missile avoiding capabilities limited only by the pilot's tolerance to high G forces.

 Precision of Base Attack Worries Military Experts (washingtonpost.com)
Defense officials said 15 of those killed in the attack on a mess tent at the city's airport were American soldiers -- more U.S. troops than have been lost in nearly any other major incident in the fighting, even during the spring 2003 invasion.
The major difference between the latest attack and the earlier incidents is that it was an attack on a U.S. base, rather than on troops in transit in vulnerable aircraft.
The attack also indicates that the insurgency is growing more sophisticated with the passage of time.

 The Attacks on GRC.COM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Forging the IP address of an attacking machine (spoofing) is such a trivial thing to do under any of the various UNIX-like operating systems, and it is so effective in hiding the attacking machines, that no hacker would pass up the opportunity if it were available.
Thanks to the fact that the fleet of attacking machines were Windows PC's, they were unable to send TCP SYN packets to our port 80 (which would have crippled us completely), and were only able to flood us with UDP and ICMP packets (which we could temporarily ignore).
During the seventeen hours of the first attack (we were subsequently subjected to several more attacks) we captured 16.1 gigabytes of packet log data.

 Amazon.com: Attack (1956) (1956) : Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
At the same time, the opening credits indicate that "Attack" is based on a play--so much of the film is dedicated to character development by some excellent actors.
Nevertheless--as "Attack" shows us-- sometimes people are put in positions of authority for reasons that have nothing to do with merit--whether it is the military, in business, government or other fields of endeavour.
In the arena of public awareness, Attack!'s all-star cast does not seem to have been enough to overcome its B-movie title, one which is neither appropriate nor sufficiently ironic.

Jordanian authorities said the attack would have mixed a combination of 71 lethal chemicals, which they said has never been done before, including blistering agents to cause third-degree burns, nerve gas and choking agents.
Al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian, has been accused of plotting chemical attacks before, and authorities said it would not be his first attempt to strike Jordan.
