Signs of a Heart Attack:

• Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. It lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back.

• Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.

• Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.

• Other signs such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.

• As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting and back or jaw pain.

If you have any of these signs, don’t wait more than five minutes before calling for help. Call 9-1-1...Get to a hospital right away.

Dallas-based Susan G. Komen Foundationposted a Tweet on Friday morning saying it had reversed its decision to pull funding from Planned Parenthood's breast-cancer screening programs.

"Our funding to @PPact clinics continues this year at more than $250k; women served through PP grants will be served still."

Here's the statement from Komen Foundation CEO Nancy Brinker:

"We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women's lives.

The events of this week have been deeply unsettling for our supporters, partners and friends and all of us at Susan G. Komen. We have been distressed at the presumption that the changes made to our funding criteria were done for political reasons or to specifically penalize Planned Parenthood. They were not.

Our original desire was to fulfill our fiduciary duty to our donors by not funding grant applications made by organizations under investigation. We will amend the criteria to make clear that disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive in nature and not political. That is what is right and fair.

Our only goal for our granting process is to support women and families in the fight against breast cancer. Amending our criteria will ensure that politics has no place in our grant process. We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants, while maintaining the ability of our affiliates to make funding decisions that meet the needs of their communities.  Read more at The Star Telegram.com

Holy Super Bowl! Someone in the football universe obviously takes his deli platter damn seriously, as evidenced by this snap, a dazzling stadium display of cold cuts, crudites, chips and cheese squares.

The origin of the platter, seemingly large enough to feed every tailgater in Indianapolis, is unknown, but whoever designed it didn't miss a tackle, erecting a jaw-dropping wall of triple-decker sandwiches, ham slabs and pepperoni coins surrounding seat sections stockpiled with pretzels, corn chips and miniature blocks of yellow and white cheese -- and a few garnishes thrown in for extra points.  Read more at blogs.westward.com

Mark Berndt, the teacher accused of committing lewd acts against nearly two dozen elementary school children, was the target of a police investigation 18 years ago when a female student reported that he had tried to fondle her, authorities said.

The alleged incident occurred in September 1993, though officials said the girl did not tell her mother about it until four months later, after seeing an episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" that explained the difference between "good touches" and "bad touches."

The mother informed school administrators, who notified the L.A. County Sheriff's Department. The department turned over the case to the district attorney in February 1994, but prosecutors dropped the matter after determining "that the evidence was insufficient to prove a crime occurred," they said in a written statement Thursday.  Read more in The Los Angeles Times.

ST. GEORGE - A personal fitness trainer convicted of sexually abusing a 14-year-old boy she worked with during 2008 and 2009 was sentenced to a minimum of one and maximum of 15 years in prison Tuesday during a hearing in 5th District Court.

Suni Faith Andersen, 36, of St. George pleaded guilty in November to two counts of forcible sexual abuse as part of a plea agreement in which prosecutors agreed to dismiss three additional counts of forcible sexual abuse and five counts of forcible sodomy.

"This is a picture of my son when he was 14 years old," the victim's mother said while holding up a photo during Tuesday's hearing. "Look. Suni, look! Does this look like someone a 34-year-old adult woman would want to have a relationship with?" Read more at The Spectrum.com

California's business tax climate is the third worst in the United States, according to a new report from the Tax Foundation.

Even though California's temporary income surtax and sales tax hike expired in 2011, the state didn't improve in the standings for 2012 because its taxes were so high already, said Tax Foundation economist Mark Robyn.

The only states with worse business tax climates, according to the State Business Tax Climate Index, are New Jersey and New York. Rounding out the 10 worst climates are: Vermont, Rhode Island, Minnesota, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Maryland and Iowa.  Read more at the Orange County Register.

Attorney General Holder will appear before the House Oversight Committee this morning on Capitol Hill to answer questions specifically surrounding his role in the the lethal Operation Fast and Furious program. Holder will have a ton of explaining to do including: when he was briefed about the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, whether he was informed by his deputy chief of staff at the time Monty Wilkinson about Fast and Furious guns being used to kill Terry the same day of his murder, why the Justice Department has been stonewalling Congress for information and more.

Just this week, emails surfaced showing Holder was briefed about Brian Terry's death just hours after he was murdered in the early morning hours on December 15, 2010. Later in the day, Wilkinson was told directly by former Arizona U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke that the guns found at the murder scene were part of Operation Fast and Furious. It is unknown whether Wilkinson told Holder about the connection between the murder weapons and Fast and Furious, but it's fair to assume he did.

Last night, the Terry family filed a $25 million wrongful death claim against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Lone Wolf Trading Company in Glendale, Arizona, where the guns found at Terry's murder scene were purchased by Jaime Avila in January 2010.  Read more at TownHall.com
