Cardiac catheterization (KATH-eh-ter-ih-ZA-shun) is a medical procedure used to diagnose and treat some heart conditions.
A long, thin, flexible tube called a catheter is put into a blood vessel in your arm, groin (upper thigh), or neck and threaded to your heart. Through the catheter, your doctor can do diagnostic tests and treatments on your heart.
For example, your doctor may put a special type of dye in the catheter. The dye will flow through your bloodstream to your heart. Then, your doctor will take x-ray pictures of your heart. The dye will make your coronary (heart) arteries visible on the pictures. This test is called coronary angiography (an-jee-OG-rah-fee).
The dye can show whether a waxy substance called plaque (plak) has built up inside your coronary arteries. Plaque can narrow or block the arteries and restrict blood flow to your heart.
The buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries is called coronary heart disease (CHD) or coronary artery disease.
Doctors also can use ultrasound during cardiac catheterization to see blockages in the coronary arteries. Ultrasound uses sound waves to create detailed pictures of the heart's blood vessels.
Doctors may take samples of blood and heart muscle during cardiac catheterization or do minor heart surgery.
Cardiologists (heart specialists) usually do cardiac catheterization in a hospital. You're awake during the procedure, and it causes little or no pain. However, you may feel some soreness in the blood vessel where the catheter was inserted.
Cardiac catheterization rarely causes serious complications.
Clinical trials are research studies that explore whether a medical strategy, treatment, or device is safe and effective for humans. To find clinical trials that are currently underway for Cardiac Catheterization, visit www.clinicaltrials.gov.

NIH and Children's National Medical Center open new cardiac intervention suite
A new state-of-the-art facility dedicated to pediatric cardiac imaging and intervention, co-established by the National Institutes of Health and Children's National Medical Center, was opened with a special dedication ceremony today. The new facility, located at Children's National in Washington, D.C., is the culmination of a long collaboration combining the cardiac imaging expertise at the NIH's National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) with the renowned clinical care at Children's National.
The NHLBI updates Health Topics articles on a biennial cycle based on a thorough review of research findings and new literature. The articles also are updated as needed if important new research is published. The date on each Health Topics article reflects when the content was originally posted or last revised.

Donavanby Diana Palmer
"Anything worth having is worth fighting for. . . "From the moment the elegantly dressed society woman walked into the bar on the wrong side of town, rugged Texan Donavan Langley knew she was trouble-and just the type of woman he'd vowed to avoid. But the lovely Fay York awoke a tenderness in him that he'd never known. . . and a yearning for something he could never have.

And it wasn't such a big step from needing to loving. . . .

- Japanese Phrases
Twenty-first-century Kanazawa presents an extraordinary union of unblemished Old Japan and a modern, trendsetting city. More than 300 years of history have been preserved in the earthen walls and flowing canals of Naga-machi, the former samurai quarter west of downtown; the cluster of Buddhist temples in Tera-machi on the southern bank of the Sai-gawa River; and the wooden facades of the former geisha district, located north of the Asano-gawa river. Modern art, fashion, music, and international dining thrive in the downtown core of Korinbo, and in the shopping districts of Tate-machi and Kata-machi. The Japan Sea provides great seafood and a somewhat dreary climate. Fortunately, cold, gray, and wet weather is offset by friendly people and only adds to the sad, romantic air of the city.
In the feudal times of the Edo period, the prime rice-growing areas around Kanazawa (known then as the province of Kaga) made the ruling Maeda clan the second wealthiest in the country. Harvests came in at more than hyaku-man-goku (1 million koku, the Edo-period unit of measurement based on how much rice would feed one person for a year). This wealth funded various cultural pursuits such as silk dyeing, ceramics, and the production of gold-leaf and lacquerware products.
This prosperity did not pass unnoticed. The fear of attack by the Edo daimyo inspired the Maeda lords to construct one of the country's most massive castles amid a mazelike network of narrow, winding lanes that make the approach difficult and an invasion nearly impossible. These defensive tactics paid off, and Kanazawa enjoyed 300 years of peace and prosperity. Nevertheless, seven fires over the centuries reduced the once-mighty Kanazawa-jo to just the remaining castle walls and a single, impressive gate.
Between sightseeing, shopping, and sampling Kanazawa's many restaurants and cafés, it is worth staying here a couple of nights. Though the atmosphere of the city changes with each season, it is an excellent place to visit any time of the year.

The User Illusion
Cutting Consciousness Down to Size
As John Casti wrote, "Finally, a book that really does explain consciousness." This groundbreaking work by Denmark's leading science writer draws on psychology, evolutionary biology, information theory, and other disciplines to argue its revolutionary point: that consciousness represents only an infinitesimal fraction of our ability to process information. Although we are unaware of it, our brains sift through and discard billions of pieces of data in order to allow us to understand the world around us. In fact, most of what we call thought is actually the unconscious discarding of information. What our consciousness rejects constitutes the most valuable part of ourselves, the "Me" that the "I" draws on for most of our actions--fluent speech, riding a bicycle, anything involving expertise. No wonder that, in this age of information, so many of us feel empty and dissatisfied. As engaging as it is insightful, this important book encourages us to rely more on what our instincts and our senses tell us so that we can better appreciate the richness of human life.

Other 1st time safari tips needed
I've done a fair bit of study on my upcoming safari but I still can't figure some things out.
1. Do I need to use a gun handler at the airport in Johannesburg, SA? I hear some people recommend them, but the rate is $150 per person. And others say the process is easier than an airport in the U.S. Which is it?
2. Is Johannesburg worth staying in for a day or two for sightseeing or otherwise being a tourist? Any lodging recommendations for two 30-something men that want to enjoy themselves (debauchery scale 7.5 out of 10)?
Any other little known tip or suggestion? Thanks much.

I'm in the same age group and can understand you wanting to have some fun....but i would probably stay out of Joburg. Maybe Pretoria area to party but i would not want to be drunk and walking around in Joburg after dark.Tom

I am 35 and only been to Joburg once, and me too wanted to have some fun, my advice more or less is: Do not stay in a guest house, because they are very conservative, if you want to have fun stay in a big hotel, just my 2 cents.NEW SCI CHAPTER MONTERREY MEXICO

I have been to Joburg several times on business and I personally would tell you that the crime rate in Joburg is very high and I personally would be hard pressed to be wandering around without a local guiding me...and even then we are not "wandering around". The local will DRIVE you from one place that is behind razor wire, park in an area secured by guards and/or razor wire and then move to some other place behind razor wire.
I am 6'2", 240 and played college football, travel all over the world for business. Have no problem walking the steets of Manhatten or most of L.A. and Chicago (I know the areas to avoid) When I go to China or Thailand I have no problem riding the subways or wandering the streets day or night. Same with France, Italy, Belguim, the Netherlands and Spain.
But I would tell you that Joburg is one of the few places where I feel unsafe and would not consider just wandering around looking for fun/debauchery/trouble.
Admittedly I am past my fighting prime being 51 years old but there is a reason they have razor wire around everything you see in Jburg.
You will find that "going out in public" is like traveling between one fortress to another. You are at the most vunerable while traveling between "fortresses" no matter walking or driving (carjacking is huge in the larger cities of R.S.A).
Personally, when in Jburg all I want to do is find a safe place to eat dinner and a safe way to get from my hotel to wherever that is and get back to my hotel.
Oh, and if your thinking of hooking up don't forget that AIDS is beyond epidemic in Southern Africa.
Other than the above all I can say is "Have a great time!"
Don't get me wrong. You not gonna see people getting knifed or hacked to death everywhere you go. If you are smart and defensive you will never have a problem. But if you go looking for trouble you will find it easy enough and probably more than you bargined for. Many people there basically have nothing to lose and the value of human life is not really an issue for them.
All that said, Cape Town is a very interesting place to visit and I would spend several days there if I had the time. Still a lot of crime but more "tourist" areas. Kind of like the difference between wandering around Michigan Avenue in Chicago or the streets on the South Side of Chicago.

Now if you want some real tips for a guy going on his first safari other than watch your back in Jburg....
#1) Hopefully you practiced shooting off sticks, both stand up and sit down style. Since you are leaving shortly it is probably too late if you haven't
#2) Make sure you have one of the bino-caddy's that holds your binoculars to your chest and don't leave the truck without your binoculars. There is nothing worse than the PH saying "He's right there in that brush and he's a MONSTER" and you can't find him in your scope...
#3) Use enough gun that you will still get to the vitals even if the angle is bad or the shot is poor...but not so much gun that it causes the shots to be poor
#4) Follow behind your PH, don't get ahead of him. You do this for many reasons including letting him see the snakes first. Even if it is their winter (June-August) they are still still but less active.
#5) Avoid hollowed out logs, tree trunks and ant hills.
#6) Wear leather gloves. Everything in Africa has thorns. I like form fitting elk or deer hide gloves that I can shoot while I am wearing them. Typically uninsulated because I am wearing them for protection more than warmth and it will get warm even in the winter as the day progresses. I typically will take off my right glove to shoot but I like wearing gloves that I am comfortable shooting with even while wearing them in case I have to make a quick shot.
#7 I am becoming a big fan of a pair of knee pads when crawling over rocks and stuff with thorns on stalks whether you talking antelope in Wyoming or Southern Africa. I pretty much am at the point that I always have a pair of knee pads in my day pack. Maybe I am just getting old but I no longer enjoy bruises on my knees.
#8 Forget about the record books and have fun. Sure, you want to shoot mature animals but when your friends come over the house and look at your mounts 99.99 percent of them will just go "holy sh&t....look at THAT!!!" and won't say "Too bad, that Kudu is only 51 inches and didn't make the book..."

Went through JNB in mid-May and handled my rifles without a service. It was no problem. It took all of :45 and :35 of that was waiting on Delta to get the rifles to SAPS. Just fill out your paperwork correctly, have your passport photos and you should be good. I would also suggest you have your US Customs 4470 (?) with you. I was told sometimes they ask for it.
Good luck and have fun.

bigred ~ No, you don't have to hire a firearm permitting service - it's a bit of a paperwork process but if you have your application (SAP 520) completed in advance and copies of the required documents then that speeds things up. On the firearm page of my website you can download a blank SAP 520 and a sample of a completed one. There's also a list of the required documents to go along with it. You would have to do the same paperwork if hiring an expeditor only they need it a month or so in advance so they can go ahead and get your permit and have it ready when you arrive. The South Africa Police do not have a charge for the permit so it's free if you do it yourself.
I also know of some hotels near the airport if you are interested.
Enjoy Africa!

some sound advise have been given so-far on your 1-2!
More on 2...
Having lived in JHB myself years ago, and having regular biz-visits there yearly, yes we have fun as well after long daily meetings.
My advise will be to stay in a reputable / internationally renowned hotel groups.
Your hotel will be able to suggest / guide you to safe places to 'hang out' after dark - and there are loads of fun in Johannesburg after dark.
Ensure your driver (after hours) is appointed by the hotel you stay in or your travel agent - nothing else!
Of all the hangout places i have been in Johannesburg area - dinner / party, etc. the ones in Sandton were the best, and most expensive - but if you want classy hangout / fun - places, it is gonna cost you. Sandton is not that far from JHB Airport - bout 1 hours drive in normal traffic conditions.
Trust you enjoy your hunting trip, best of luck to you!FHM3006

try the michelangelo hotel on mandela square in sandton. the square is lined with a choice of very good restaurants including the butcher shop and grill (serious meat eating!), with some bars in between. the hotel also has one and two bedroom apartments in the adjoining michelangelo towers, this is where i stay if i am there, as there is a good bar and restaurant on the ground floor , and if you get talking/drinking with the bar managers they can point you in the right direction for partying safely. as has been said only use cars/taxis provided by the hotel, and get the drivers cellphone no so you can get him to pick you up, or arrange a time for him to collect you. there is also a big shopping mall adjoining the hotel so if you have forgotten/lost something you can replace it.

#1) I didn't use a firearm service on the first trip, but did on the second trip. I'll continue to use one. As Lori stated, it was ready for me when I arrived. In the grand scheme of the safari, it was only $100 which is not much when considering the total cost of the trip.
#2) Can't help you there because I'm there to hunt, not put myself in potential bad places!graybird

#1 If you do your paperwork correctly, you won t have any problem with your guns.
#2 If you stay in Sandton, no problems, and all the fun you need.
Great advice from everyone and I thank all of you. I do have one question after all this, twice people mentioned having copies of passport photos. Do you mean additional copies of our photo, or copies of our passport? It seems to me that you mean copies of our passport and not just the photo, but I could be mistaken, that is why I am asking.

I second Terminator's comments. I am 6'6" tall, weigh in at 225 lbs and have been in my share of "scrapes" in my life - and never lost a one. I have traveled all over the world for my job including some pretty shady places in eastern Europe and most recently China. I was in a couple touchy situations in both Detroit and Chicago as well as a late night in Prague one day, but to be honest with you I was never truly worried until I went to Joburg. There is a reason they have fenced compounds inside of a guarded gated community.
My suggestion is to go to Afton Guest House, eat a thick steak, swap hunting stories with some other hunters that are there, get a good night sleep and be refreshed to start hunting the next day as soon as you get to camp.

I'll bite.
#1: You CAN clear your own guns, but why would you? To save $150? Really? I hear everyone talk about how easy it is, etc, etc, etc, but I've been there when the S hit the Fan, and I was glad to have some locals there to get me and the guns out of the SAPS office without me and the Mrs. having to pay off the whole office. I would not consider going through SAPS without a VIP advance gun permitting and meet and greet service. Buy one less piece of grossly unnecessary gear before the hunt and you can spring for the gun permitting service.
#2: Go to a strip club before you leave. Take a mental picture of what you see there. Go again when you return if you feel the need. J-berg is a hole. Transit in, transit out. No need to spend time there. 20 years ago, sure. Today, no thanks.

Passport photos . . . what? Never heard of that, never done that, and I find nothing in the SAPS rules about a passport-type photo.
I'm ready to be corrected, but I've sent in my permits for this year, sans photos, and I did the same last year. I'm confused.

Safari Lawyer,
100 percent. I like the meet and greet. It is nice to have them expedite you through immigrations and take you through the first class line on departure even though you are flying coach. Paperwork is always correct. Well worth the money.
And Mrs.70560 would be upset if I left her in the room and went out for a night on the town as I am sure Mrs. Safari Lawyer would be with you.

Pros – Great properties to sell. Clear Channel offers amazing resources and training opportunities
Cons – Very little thought to the individual and LOTS of paperwork. They are more concerned with managing the processs than closing the sale. Too many different agendas/initiatives to follow and they seen to change on an almost weekly basis.

Football is one of America's favorite sports, and now that the season has kicked off have your family and friends over to toss around the pigskin with your very own football birthday party!
The calendar has turned to August, and that means one thing - it's almost time for football. The pre-season has just begun and many college teams have started training camp, and for some, this is the beginning of the most wonderful time of the year. The NFL kicks off on Thursday, September 9, when defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints take on the Minnesota Vikings, so why not host a party that night to commemorate the beginning of the season?
As hard as it may be to believe, the beginning of football season is less than two months away. NFL training camps start in only a few weeks and before you know it, the first kickoff of the year will be upon us. A football-themed party would be the perfect idea for anybody who has a birthday in the near future and who can't get enough gridiron action. Hosting a great pigskin extravaganza can be an easy way to score a touchdown with someone special.

I have been getting my hair cut at Regency for two or three years now.
My six year old daughter has too, for about a year.
We always get good haircuts and colors (for me). The students are always very nice and listen carefully to what we want. The instructors work well with the students and with us to make sure we get what we want. And your services are inexpensive - who could ask for more?
I have told everyone I know about Regency and plan on getting our hair done there for the foreseeable future.
Kati T
I just wanted to take a minute to praise the student that colored my hair today. [The Regency student] was incredibly professional and took the time to make sure that she was doing exactly what I wanted, and the I understood what she was doing to make sure the end result was what I asked for. The end result is a hair color I absolutely love, and it what I was hoping for. You don't find that quality of service many places these days, and when you do the people involved deserve to hear about it. The instructor did an amazing job of making sure the students had what they needed, and helping them come up with the answers instead of doing the work for them. I was overall very impressed with my experience, and I will definitely be back. Thank you so much, I absolutely love the job you did.
Sarah C
[A Regency student] did a great job on my hair yesterday. She listened carefully to what I wanted done and seemed to put a lot of thought into how to accomplish it. I'm very happy with it!
No name given
I have been coming to the Regency Beauty Institute for several years now and have had many student stylists over the years. I have really enjoyed having [a Regency student] as my stylist the last few months. She is graduating soon and I will miss her. She is very conscientious about her work. I appreciate how well she listens to me. She seems to approach her work with a lot of creativity and always makes sure I am happy when she is finished with my hair. I am sure she will do well in her field after graduation.
Pat Y
I would like to give a compliment to [a Regency student]. She gave me a cut and color retouch yesterday. She did an outstanding job. You have some fantastic students at your institute & she is one of them. Thank you so much.
Mary C
[A Regency student] once again did a great job on my color and cut. She listened when I described the cut I wanted, and then gave me the exact cut I asked for. I am very happy. Not only that, but I arrived for my appointment with a heavy heart and she was gracious and understanding as I vented to her... always a good trait in your hairdresser!! I will miss her when she graduates... she is a fun and caring person.
Had an appt on 7/24 with [a Regency student]. She was TERRIFIC! I had a full two-color foil, cut and pedicure. She listened to what I wanted and the results I was looking for and she delivered. I will definately refer others to her. This was my first time at Regency and will be back regardless of the distance. [The Regency student] is very personable and very talented.

The Libertarian Party believes that all persons are entitled to keep the fruits of their labor. A call for the repeal of the income tax, abolishment of the Internal Revenue Service and all federal programs and services not required under the U.S. Constitution.

Glad I could help. I tried a search on "keep Bachmann" too, in order to be fair and balanced. That was just as interesting as the search on "Bachmann quotes" and does not help her cause. I really like her bill to give Americans freedom to choose their type of light bulb.
I would not associate that reaction with ecstasy so we all know where you stand
FYI - The weather looks great for our test this weekend.
Just think of the entertainment value of that ticket though.

hi all,
first post here - so double hi to all ;)
my problem is that i get this annoying "Main script execution failed" message BUT not all the time.
everything works fine except (till now) iano and beatphone.
when i install them i get the message, the app is on the springboard but does not show up in installer.
i then manually deleted them via ssh and downloaded beatphone from google code.
while copying the beatphone files on my phone via ssh i recognized that there is no real /var/root/media folder - its only some wicked text file - nothing more.
also gps phone doenst work because he wants it roms to be in /var/root/media
nes.app works fine with roms lying in /var/mobile/media
so my question is if i can just simply creat the "media" folder in /var/root without harming my system in any way?
then i could drop my roms and the audio files from beatphone there.
and for your info - i´ve got an 16 gb iphone 1.1.3 ootb unlocked and jailbrake with ziphone 2.4 and downgraded from 4.6 to 3.9.
thanks in advance
ps: one more thing ;) i deleted beatphone by deleting the beatphone.app in the Applications folder and the 3 library files in /usr/lib/ - exactly the same wich where in the google code version.
did i do anything wrong?!
