Test Overview
Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that allows your doctor to look at the inside of a joint in your body through a thin viewing instrument called an arthroscope. Arthroscopy allows your doctor to look at the joint surfaces and the surrounding soft tissues, such as tissue that connects bone to bone (ligaments) and the tough tissue that covers the ends of the bones at the joints (cartilage) and provides a cushion between the bones. This procedure can be used to diagnose a joint problem, perform surgery that repairs a joint problem, remove a loose or foreign body, or monitor a disease or the effectiveness of a treatment. Arthroscopy is commonly performed on the knee, shoulder, and ankle. It also can be done on the hip, elbow, and wrist.
During arthroscopy , the arthroscope is inserted into your joint through a small cut (incision) in the skin. The arthroscope has a light source and a video camera attached to it. Images from the camera can be seen on a video monitor. These magnified images provide a clear picture of your joint. A sample of joint tissue can be collected during arthroscopy for biopsy. If surgery is done, additional instruments will be inserted into your joint through other small incisions.
Like open surgery (which is done using a larger incision), arthroscopy allows your doctor to see what is wrong with your joint. But compared to open surgery, arthroscopy:
- Is usually less painful.
- Is usually less costly.
- Usually allows for a quicker recovery time, depending on what is done.
- Can be done on an outpatient basis without requiring an overnight stay in a hospital. Open surgery often requires an inpatient stay in the hospital.
Why It Is Done
Arthroscopy is used to:
- Evaluate and diagnose a joint problem when a physical exam and other diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, blood tests, computed tomography (CT) scans, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are not conclusive.
- Perform surgery to repair a joint problem.
Examples of when arthroscopy is used to perform surgery:
- Bone tissue can be shaved to remove calcium deposits or bone spurs.
- Soft tissues (such as ligaments, tendons, or cartilage) can be repaired or trimmed.
- Ligaments can be cut to help relieve tightness in a stiff joint. They can also be repaired or reconstructed.
- A sample of joint tissue or joint fluid (synovial fluid) may be collected for laboratory analysis (biopsy).
- Scar tissue or an area of joint lining (synovium) that is inflamed can be removed.
Some joint problems may sometimes be repaired using a combination of arthroscopy and open surgery.
How To Prepare
Arthroscopy is often done on an outpatient basis without requiring an overnight stay in a hospital.
Tell your doctor if you:
- Have allergies to any medicines, including anesthetics.
- Are taking any medicines, including blood-thinning medicines (such as warfarin [Coumadin]) or aspirin.
- Have had any bleeding problems, including blood clots in a vein (deep vein thrombosis, or DVT).
- Are or might be pregnant.
- Have a history of joint stiffness or arthritis. Joint damage caused by arthritis may make it difficult or impossible to do this procedure.
- Have had an X-ray of your joint that used contrast material (arthrogram) within the previous 10 days. The contrast material may cause inflammation within your joint that makes performing arthroscopy difficult. This inflammation also can prevent a clear picture of your joint during arthroscopy.
- Have a history of infection, such as septic arthritis, in the affected joint.
- Have a history of a broken bone (fracture) or injury to the affected joint.
You will be asked to sign a consent form that says you understand the risks of the test and agree to have it done.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
You may have more tests, such as blood tests or urine tests, before your arthroscopy.
Arrange to have someone drive you home after the procedure.
If you have arthroscopy of your ankle, knee, or hip, your doctor will talk to you about having crutches available after the procedure. If you have arthroscopy of a joint in your arm, you will likely wear a sling or splint after the procedure.
How It Is Done
Arthroscopy is usually done by a doctor who specializes in bone, muscle, and joint surgery (orthopedic surgeon).
You will be asked to remove any jewelry and to wear a hospital gown. You may be given a sedative shortly before the procedure to help you relax. The skin around your joint may be shaved.
During the procedure
If general or regional anesthesia is used, an anesthesia specialist will administer the medicine. A general anesthetic will make you unconscious during the procedure. Your heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure, and respirations will be monitored during the procedure. If a local anesthetic is used, it will be injected into the skin and joint space. If a local or regional anesthetic is used, your limb will be numb and you will be relaxed and drowsy but will remain conscious.
You usually lie on your back. Depending on which joint is being looked at, an inflatable band (tourniquet) may be used to temporarily restrict blood flow to your joint so your doctor can see all the structures in your joint. Your joint is scrubbed with an antiseptic solution and draped with sterile towels. Before the tourniquet is inflated, the joint will be elevated and may be wrapped with an elastic bandage to reduce blood flow to the joint.
A small incision about 0.25 in. (0.6 cm) will be made near your joint. Before inserting the arthroscope, an irrigation solution (usually saline) will be used to flush the joint space to provide a better view of the entire joint. A steady low flow of solution is usually used during the procedure to clear out any debris or blood in the joint so your doctor can evaluate your joint.
Once the arthroscope is inserted, your doctor will be able to see inside the joint by viewing a video monitor attached to the arthroscope. Your doctor or the surgical assistants may bend, extend, and reposition the joint to see it from different angles. Videotapes or photographs of the joint may also be taken.
If additional surgery is required to repair your joint problem, more small incisions will be made and other thin instruments will be inserted into your joint. When the arthroscope and any other instruments are taken out, any blood and debris will be flushed with saline and drained. To reduce inflammation or pain, local anesthetics or corticosteroids may be injected into your joint.
The small incision is closed with stitches. Depending on which joint was looked at, you may need to use splints, slings, or crutches to support movement of your joint during recovery.
The time arthroscopy takes depends on what is done. It may take only about 15 minutes, but it could take an hour or longer.
After the procedure
After the procedure, you may need to rest your joint for several days. You may not be able to drive for 24 hours after the procedure, depending on which joint was looked at and what type of anesthetic you had. If your stitches are not absorbable, they will be removed in 7 to 10 days. Ice, elevation, and a compression bandage may be used to reduce any swelling, and pain relievers may be used to relieve any pain or discomfort. Ask your doctor for advice on strengthening your joint with exercise and when you can resume normal activity.
How It Feels
If you are given a local anesthetic before the procedure, you will feel a temporary burning or stinging sensation in your skin. As the arthroscope is inserted into the joint, you will feel a thumping sensation. You may feel slight pulling sensations in the joint area as your doctor moves joint structures around.
If you are given a general anesthetic before the procedure, you will be unconscious and will not feel anything during the procedure. If you are given a regional anesthetic, your arm or leg will be numb for several hours.
You may have some soreness and pain after the procedure. Your doctor will give you instructions on using pain medicine and applying ice to your joint (and possibly to elevate it) to reduce swelling and pain. Keep the bandages that cover your incision clean and dry.
After arthroscopy, you may notice bruising of your skin around the incision. This is temporary and should disappear within 2 weeks. It is normal for your joint to feel tender for about a week. Ask your doctor how much bleeding, drainage, or swelling from the incision site to expect. If you needed more extensive joint surgery, you may have more bleeding, drainage, pain, and swelling, and it may last longer than a simpler surgery.
Complications are not common during arthroscopy. Sometimes there is joint stiffness or long-lasting joint pain. Bleeding within the joint can occur, particularly if surgery is done during the procedure.
There is a small chance of infection, formation of a blood clot in the affected limb, or nerve or joint damage. Also, there is a small risk of damage to the structures within the joint.
In rare cases, a serious condition called compartment syndrome can occur if pressure builds within a muscle compartment (most commonly in the front of the calf or forearm). When this occurs, immediate medical treatment is needed to release the pressure.
In very rare cases, death can occur from complications of general anesthesia.
After the test
Contact your doctor immediately if:
- Your pain or swelling (or both) continue or get worse.
- Your incision site bleeds excessively.
- You experience redness, swelling, pain, or a sensation of heat in your calf or arm. These may be signs of a blood clot in a vein, a condition called thrombophlebitis. If you have these symptoms, do not massage the area.
- You develop signs of infection. These signs may
- Increased pain, swelling, redness, or warmth around the affected area.
- Red streaks extending from the affected area.
- Drainage of pus from the area.
- Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpit, or groin.
- Fever or chills with no other known cause.
Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that allows your doctor to look at the inside of a joint in your body through a thin viewing instrument called an arthroscope. Your doctor can determine whether your joint is normal by looking at it through the arthroscope. Usually your doctor will be able to discuss the results with you right after the test.
In a normal, healthy joint, the ligaments look like white cables. The cartilage is smooth and white. The joint fluid is clear, and there are no loose pieces of tissue in the joint. If there is no damage or disease seen in the joint, your doctor may conclude that your joint is normal and is not the cause of your symptoms.
In a damaged or diseased joint, the ligaments and cartilage are abnormal in color and shape. If there is damage or disease in the joint, your doctor may identify the condition and may even perform surgery during the arthroscopy to repair the joint problem. Examples of damage or disease in the joint include:
After your doctor has evaluated your joint, further treatment with medicine, physical therapy, or surgery may be recommended.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Having had an X-ray of the joint that used contrast material (arthrogram) within the previous 10 days. The contrast material may cause inflammation within the joint that can prevent a clear picture of the joint during arthroscopy.
- Having arthritis. Joint damage caused by arthritis may make it difficult or impossible to do this procedure.
- Having some other medical conditions, such as a thickening of tissue (fibrosis) in the joint area or widespread infection (sepsis).
What To Think About
- Surgical procedures done by arthroscopy usually result in shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times than open joint surgery.
- Arthroscopy usually is not done if:
- A skin or wound infection is present near the joint to be examined. But arthroscopy may be done to clean out an infected joint.
- Ankylosis is present. Ankylosis is a condition that causes stiffness and poor flexibility of a joint and may be caused by a disease (such as ankylosing spondylitis), a joint injury, or surgery.
- Joint destruction is severe (for example, with severe arthritis).
- A severe bleeding disorder is present. But arthroscopy may be done if clotting factor medicines are used.
- It may take several weeks for your joint to recover. If extensive surgery is done during your arthroscopy, it may take longer than a few weeks to recover. Your doctor will give you pain medicine and recommend rehabilitation exercises or physical therapy for you to do during your recovery period. Depending on which joint was examined, you may need to use splints, slings, or crutches to support movement of your joint during recovery.
- Many doctors use ultrasound, computed tomography (CT scan), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before doing an arthroscopy to make sure that any problems that need surgery can be done at the same time as the arthroscopy.

Cooper City (Fla.) athlete Lemond Johnson has never been to Auburn, but planned to change that this weekend.
The visit, however, will have to wait.
"I was supposed to visit this weekend, but I am going to visit family for Easter so I'm not going to be able to go," said Johnson, ranked the No. 37 athlete in the 2013 class. "I'm going to get up there, though, as soon as possible."
Johnson, 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, said the next visit he takes would be to Auburn.

A Virginia company will add 1,100 linear feet of sidewalk, curb and gutter near Monocacy Middle School at a cost of $126,400 — pending approval from Frederick County's Board of Education and the state.
The school board is expected to vote March 27 whether to approve the grant that would allow the bid to be awarded, said Ray Barnes, Frederick County Public Schools' executive director of facilities services.
The project along Opossumtown Pike, expected to begin this spring and be ready for students next school year, is designed to protect students walking to school. It is being funded by a federal grant administered by the state.
The stretch begins about a block from the school, heading north on Opossumtown along the east side of the road.
About 140 Monocacy Middle students would use the stretch — assuming they walk to school and aren't driven, Barnes said.
The stretch is essentially a shoulder of Opossumtown covered in gravel, and the shoulder isn't protected by a curb and is difficult to maintain in snowy or rainy conditions because it can't be plowed, Barnes said.
"This sidewalk and curbing improvement will not only add to safety, but will make for a drier walk to school, one that has better drainage and is safer for students on bikes," Barnes said.
Adding the sidewalk provides a layer of safety for students — particularly during snowstorms, said Monica Boyd, president of Monocacy Middle's Parent Teacher Association.
"The snow is just piled up in that area, and kids have to walk in the street," she said.
Nearly 175 companies were notified of the sidewalk improvement project. Five submitted bids, including one whose bid was disqualified because it didn't include the proper paperwork.
The winning bid — from Finley Asphalt & Sealing Inc., of Manassas, Va. — was about $30,000 less than the next lowest bid.
The Frederick County Department of Highways and Transportation, which is working with the school system on the project, has already agreed to the contract amount.
Final approvals from the state are required before construction can begin.
In prior years, a federal grant through the same program was used to make sidewalk improvements at Brunswick High School to connect the school with new residential areas.

Abbot Ice Shelf, Antarctica
The Abbot Ice Shelf is a is a thick slab of ice, attached to West Antarctica's central coast and extending out over the ocean as a seaward extension of the grounded Antarctic Ice Sheet. This ice shelf is one of 47 named Antarctic Ice Shelves.
The Abbott Ice Shelf occurs at the junction of the Bellingshausen and Amundsen Seas. This ice shelf extends an east-west distance of about 250 to 400 kilometers (km) and exhibits a characteristic width of 65 km; this ice shelf is supported by several islands, most significantly, Thurston Island, which provide inherent structural integrity to the Abbot Ice Shelf. Conflicting sources attribute various east-west extents of the Abbot Ice Shelf, from values of 250 to 400 km, presumably due to the definition of the eastern limit.
Abbott Ice Shelf. Source: National Snow and Ice Data Center
USGS Geographic Names Information Service
According to the USGS, the Abbot Ice Shelf is 400 km long and 65 km wide, bordering Eights Coast from Cape Waite to Phrogner Point. (Note that other sources attribute the length of this ice shelf at 250 km, probably due to definition of the ambiguous eastern limit.) Thurston Island lies along the northern edge of the western half of this ice shelf; other sizable islands (Sherman, Carpenter, Dustin, Johnson, McNamara, Farwell and Dendtler) lie partly or wholly within it.
The Abbot Ice Shelf was sighted by members of U.S. Antarctic Service (USAS) in flights from the ship Bear, in February 1940, and its western portion was delineated from air photos taken by U.S. Navy (USN) OpHjp, 1946-47. The full extent was mapped by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) from U.S. Navy (USN) air photos of 1966. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for R. Admiral J. Lloyd Abbot, Jr., Commanding Officer, U.S. Naval Support Force, Antarctica, February 1967 to June 1969.

From December 2004 to April 2006, the Office of Federal Contractor Compliance Programs conducted an audit of UWM's employment practices and Affirmative Action Plan ("AAP" or "plan").
In April 2006, the OFCCP issued its findings. While the OFCCP found no discrimination and did not impose any penalties on UWM, it found omissions in UWM's AAP. In August 2006, UWM entered into a Conciliation Agreement with the OFCCP and agreed to submit two 6-month reports regarding hiring and recruitments during the reporting period.
In March and September of 2007, UWM provided the two reports mandated by the OFCCP. The OFCCP has concluded that both reports were complete and met all of the requirements of the August 2006 Conciliation Agreement.
On December 18, 2007, the OFCCP met with UWM officials, including the Department of Human Resources and Equity and Diversity Services, to review and discuss UWM's latest Affirmative Action Plan, for 2006-2007. The OFCCP also reviewed a random sampling of UWM's completed I-9 forms.
Following the December 18 visit, the OFCCP provided helpful commentary about UWM's AAP, including suggestions for adding more background information and completing the plan within a shorter time period from the data closing date of October 31 of each year. The OFCCP also found errors in the completed I-9 forms, such as blanks that were not completed.
UWM will continue to work with the OFCCP as it completes its plan for 2007-2008. The Department of Human Resources is also providing additional training to the campus on the completion and certification of I-9 forms in January 2008.

Entry and exit barriers and new payment machines have been installed at Hardaway Head (site of the old multi-storey off Queen Street) and Bear Street car parks.
The new pay-on-foot scheme involves taking a ticket at the barrier and paying for your parking when you return to your vehicle. This means you do not have to rush back to your car before your ticket runs out, giving you more time to spend in town.
The new payment machines take coins, notes, credit and debit cards. More information is available on our pay-on-foot page

Actually there are a number of reports that Adam Lanza had mental problems. For example, the Washington Post reports, "Lanza was believed to have suffered from a personality disorder, said a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
"Another law enforcement official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said Lanza also had been diagnosed with Aspergers, a mild form of autism often characterized by social awkwardness." The article goes on to say, "Richard Novia, the school districts head of security until 2008, who also served as adviser for the high school technology club, of which Lanza was a member, said he clearly a 'had some disabilities.' 'If that boy wouldve burned himself, he would not have known it or felt it physically,' Novia said in a phone interview. 'It was my job to pay close attention to that.'"
The story is here: Conn. school gunman had 'lots of ammo,' source says, suggesting even deadlier plan - The Washington Post.
It is simply incomprehensible to me that any sane person could kill so many small children and then kill himself. That just defies the definition of sanity. I believe that mental illness in the perpetrators is the one common thread among the mass murders that have happened recently.

Somethings that are rarely mentioned. The parents of the deceased children deal with a huge amount of guilt. More often then not it results in broken marriages and families. Not all but a very eye-opening percentage of divorces occur along with substance abuse and suicide.
The same could be said for the first responders, the medical examiners and all that are investigating. Not to forget all those that survived in the school. PTSD will follow all for a very long time. This cowardly crime will be dealt with for years.
Just so heartbreaking and infuriating at the same time. 2 emotions that never have worked well together.

I don't understand how the mother, knowing she had a son with mental disorders, could have guns in her home. Obviously not locked away in a safe with a lock and code. Her son had problems, and she knew it. She is just as guilty as he is.
I HATE guns! Stupidist invention ever! Fighting violence with violence is never the answer.
I have had a constant dull headache for the past two days from trying to hold back tears. Sometimes I can't hold them in. My heart aches for these sweet angels and the adults that died trying to protect them. Part of me is dead.

I can vouch for the good our dogs can do bringing comfort and a sense of stability in this tragic happening. I would suggest that those who can get their dogs out and about to give people a point of normalness and a place for tears to fall without judgement.
Especially our goldens - I know my goldens were very welcome this past weekend wherever we went; our whole country and beyond needs comfort ..

Very sad and very horrible!
But.. I think it is time to stop all the newscoverage day and night.
If I had a child that died in this horrible event, I doubt I would want to have 24/7 newscoverage about it. I do not think it helps the healing process at all.
The murderer is dead, there is no-one to blame anymore, let it rest.
On the "Today" show, a family member just expressed something similar. He said that the family will not watch newscoverage about it, because they do not need to hear the details.

I think part of the problem with children with personality disorders or whatever the issue may have been, is once the child is 18 or out of the school system, the programs are no longer available. Now these young adults and their families are just out there to fend for themselves.
One thing that really was a eye opener for me this weekend, is when I was talking about this to my children, yes, they were upset but not upset and shocked the same way my husband and I were. I realized that this is the new norm for my children's generation. The Oklahoma bombing, Columbine, 9/11 all happenned when they were toddlers or before they were born. Mall shootings and cinema shootings are something that they have always been aware of. It is really a sad world to grow up in.
I also don't think I could be as brave as those teachers were. I am amazed at how heroic ALL of them were, not just one or two.

It is known for being the first system aimed at the general public have a graphical interface consisting of mouse interaction with windows, icons, etcetera. The first version was first released in 1984 and 9 major versions of Mac OS were released, with Mac OS 9 (the final version) launched in 1999. It was then succeeded by Mac OS X.
Mac OS X is the line of graphical operating systems which succeeded the original Mac OS. There have been eight releases of OS X, the latest being OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion".
Although the Mac's operating system and hardware has been widely criticized for its lack of support and incompatibility with gaming, some GTA games have still been officially released for it.

WASHINGTON – Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer. But officially, it's the kick-off to a serious grilling season.
For those firing up the grill for the first time, a celebrity chef — known for his famous burgers — offers some expert tips.
"There are two guys in the world. Guys who can grill and guys who think they can grill," says Food Network star Bobby Flay, who just opened his 15th Bobby's Burger Palace, located in Woodbridge, Va.
Taking some tips from his new cookbook, "Bobby Flay's Barbecue Addiction," Flay says don't go gang busters — start off slowly.
"Don't do anything crazy. Break out your old reliables. Get some grilled chicken on there, get some rib-eye steaks, a few burgers."
Flay's golden rule — let the grill do its job.
"Leave whatever you put on the grill, on the grill," he says. "Let it come away from the grill on its own. Because if you start messing with it and playing with it to see if it's sticking, that's when it begins to stick."
According to Flay, one rookie grilling mistake is to poke meat while it's on the grill. The poking results in letting out the juices, which makes the meat dry. Flay also says wait to slather on barbecue sauces until the last five minutes of cooking.
And a huge no-no: don't overcook food.
Flay says when in doubt, undercook because it can always be thrown back on the barbie. But once it's overcooked, there's no way to make it moist again.
If you want your fish or meat to stay juicy, never cut into it right after it comes off the grill. You have to let it rest so juices don't run out. Loosely tent foil over the food to keep it warm.
For smaller cuts, like fish and chicken pieces, Flay recommends allowing them rest for about 5 minutes. But give whole chickens and thick steaks 10 minutes or 20 minutes for a large roast.

I've decided that I don't want to find out by baby's sex until the day the baby's born. However, this has made me think twice about the baby shower. Is it okay to have a baby shower before the baby's born even if the sex is unknown?

I think it might be better having a shower and not knowing the sex. I have a friend who had a girl and everything she got is all pink and shes told me if she were to have a boy that she cant use anything for him because nothing she owns for her daughter is gender nuetral, not the stroller or anything you would think that you could use for both sexes. Im 15 weeks and im thinking of not finding out the sex myself. its my first child and i'd rather not have complete gender specific items. After the baby is born i would be glad to buy things gender specific but still have enough nongender specific items.posted 09/16/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm having my third child and decided not to find out the baby's gender! So the baby shower theme will be "It's a...?". Everything will be divided into pink and blue (one side of the room decorated pink and the other blue; even the cake will be like this). I'm planning on games being "girls vs. boys" to make it go along with the theme. I also want to know guest predictions by having them drop a pink or blue candy piece in the corresponding covered pink or blue bottle and revealing the predictions at the end. As far as gifts, a lot of the things you'll really need aren't gender specific or come in neutral colors (diapers, wipes, baby gear, etc.). For people who swear they know what I'm having and want to buy gender specific stuff, I simply added a note in the baby shower invitation to save the Gift Receipt in case they guess wrong. Gift cards and cash are also great alternatives : ) Your little one deserves to be celebrated. I think it's fine to have a baby shower now!posted 12/30/2010 by chocosheida1
People were having showers long before they COULD find out what the baby was. There is nothing wrong with having a show first. There are many items you can get that aren't gender specific.posted 12/07/2007 by ahammon7
I agree! I did want to know with my pregnancy, but baby wanted it to be a surprise! I just found out yesterday that some church friends are giving me a shower. There are LOTS of gender neut. items out there these days. I've also know gals to say "instead of a traditional gift, money or gift cards would be GREAT". You could also wait and do a Welcome Home Shower.....I've know some who have done that too. That way you can see the sex, and how big the baby is, and people will know more what to get. Jsut make sure you have your bringing home baby basics (like some diapers, wipes, a bassinet/crib, and of course Car Seat). You're the mommy, you do what you feel is right for you!posted 01/07/2008 by HaleyFam0703
My husband and I found out what gender we're having, but we are keeping it a secret from everyone. Now I can prepare somewhat but still keep things gender neutral so no one else will know. I had a friend who only got baby girl clothing at her shower and hardly anything 'useful' that she registered for, so ever since then, I've wanted my baby shower to be neutral so gifts can be practical items. Maybe that's selfish, but it's expensive to have to go buy everything for your baby because all you've received are clothes that they'll grow out of.posted 04/01/2011 by katiefromwa
i think that having a baby shower for a baby thats sex is unknown is very great. just because of the fact that in most babyshowers they get you clothing for the baby and not enough of the other necessary things. so it would be best.posted 10/15/2009 by DallasTeenMom
im currently 14 weeks with my first baby and am not planning on finding out the gender. like others have said, this can make people really upset! my mom and best friend were both freaking out when i told them that was how it was going to be. they still whine about it occasionally. but they know that my mind is made up, and hopefully they realize that its not about them! :) also, im blessed enough to have a good friend that i work with that will be custom making me a crib set. that means ill be able to go with her and pick out cute gender neutral fabrics, which im thrilled about!posted 08/04/2010 by ashleyharbour
We aren't finding out what we are having either. However, we think this might work in our favor when it comes to the baby shower because people will be more likely to focus on the necessities rather than the "cute stuff." Not knowing what we are having has actually helped even us focus more on the necessities as well.posted 03/21/2010 by babyblue321
I remember up until three days before my due date when I was pregnant with my daughter and the doctor kept telling us that we were having a boy but I felt different no one believed me and they bought all boy clothes and toys and when my daughter was born everything but the things I bought had to go back to the store.posted 11/24/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I did not find out with my 1st pregnancy what the gender was and won't be this go round either. I love it and the hospital staff says they love it too because we all find out together what the sex is! However, people have been very cruel to me saying I was just being "difficult" and "different" so shopping would be harder for them!?! I don't care and if they really want to buy me a present then they'll have to figure it out! On the positive side, all my major gear is non-gender specific now and can be all used again! My car seats, bouncer, high chair, walker, swing, baby blankets (pastels, green, yellow and purple, etc.), baby bedding, and a lot of baby sleepers can all be used again. It is saving us a lot of money. To me I don't care what the sex is of the baby I just want a healthy strong baby. (BTW, my first born was a boy and I would love to have two little boys or a boy and girl...it really doesn't matter!) Enjoy every minute!posted 06/03/2011 by djmanrique

Public Awareness of Climate Change
Table: Percentage of respondents in various countries who have heard about climate change, and degree of concern by those who have heard. Source Pew Research Center 2006a. Numbers are rounded.
Most people, when surveyed about current issues, express at least a fair amount of concern about global climate change. They also believe that human activities are largely responsible for changing the climate and the problems that result from such changes. Nonetheless, they rank global climate change as less important than the economy, jobs, terrorism, education, health care, poverty, crime, and other issues.
Surveys and media coverage indicate that public concern about global climate change has been waning since about 2006. A string of new cataclysmic climatic events of the magnitude of the European heat wave in 2003 or Hurricane Katrina in 2005 would place global climate change higher on everyone's priority list, [1] but we hope that such stimuli will not prove necessary. The recent decline in concern, however, highlights the difficulties in keeping the public eye focused on the problem of global climate change. Several factors, including the nature of the human psyche and the complexity of the topic, contribute to this lack of focus.
Table: Percentage of U.S. respondents, listed by political party affiliation, who rated an issue as very important in three recent surveys.Source Pew Research Center 2006b, 2007, 2008, 2009b.
aIssues are listed in descending importance according to the January 2009 survey.
The human psyche is not well suited for addressing the problem of global climate change. [2], [3] Our mental skill set is highly attuned to solve urgent, well-defined problems with clear solutions, such as procuring our next meal or finding a safe place to sleep. Global climate change is the exact opposite, a problem that extends over several generations, seems vague and abstract, and has no sure fire remedies. Indeed, potential remedies to this problem only diminish the odds of undesirable outcomes and may seem too meager a reward for all the hard work and sacrifice that they entail.
Many people do not perceive global climate change to be an imminent danger that warrants direct attention. [4] Global warming of a few degrees may seem relatively benign to people who prefer warmer winters and earlier springs or who escape to higher latitudes or higher elevations in the summer. Similarly, a sea level rise of a few feet or more violent hurricanes may not pose a threat to those who occupy higher ground. Moreover, a significant segment of the population still does not accept that human activities are the major cause of climate change and do not perceive any direct benefits of mitigating climate change, although they directly experience the costs of such actions at the gasoline pump or in utility bills.
In comparison, the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer has received continuous, strong public support. A key difference between ozone depletion and global climate change is that ozone depletion increases the incidence of skin cancer, and virtually everyone recognizes the importance of averting skin cancer. In addition, mitigation of ozone depletion includes relatively simple measures such as using alternative refrigerants in compressors or converting from aerosol spray cans to squeeze bottles.

Microsoft seems to be making a habit out of shooting itself in the foot.
With gamers still smarting over the company's $499 pricing announcement for the Xbox One, the head of the Xbox division has ruffled more feathers in addressing concerns about the system's demand for a internet connection.
"We have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity - it's called Xbox 360," Don Mattrick told Geoff Keighley on GameTrailers.
While Mattrick was likely attempting to point out that Microsoft will continue to support its existing console for some time, the somewhat flippant nature of his comment came across as dismissive to the fans who have voiced concerns about the system's need to check in online every 24 hours.
With internet connectivity becoming ubiquitous throughout the country -- and many parts of the world (at least, the ones Microsoft is targeting with the Xbox One) -- the company thinks some of the outcry over the requirement is overstated.
"When I read the blogs and they talked about who's really most impacted, it was a person who said 'Hey, I'm on a nuclear sub'," said Mattrick. "I don't even know what it means to be on a nuclear sub, but I've got to imagine it's not easy to get an Internet connection."
Despite the PR tempest, Microsoft says pre-orders for the Xbox One are strong. Amazon has told the company that it has nearly sold out of its initial allocation of units (though how large that allocation is was not disclosed).
And Yusuf Mehdi, SVP of the Interactive Entertainment Business, told Yahoo! Games that while the Xbox One will cost more than the PS4, the company believes consumers will look beyond the price tags.
"It isn't just about price," he says. "It's about value. It's the value for the price. What I believe is we have incredible value for the price we're offering our system. And I think it's unmatched compared to other things."

Source(Pub. L. 93–638, title IV, § 401, as added Pub. L. 103–413, title II, § 204,Oct. 25, 1994, 108 Stat. 4271.)
Short Title
For short title of title II of Pub. L. 103–413, which enacted this part, as the "Tribal Self-Governance Act of 1994", see section 201 ofPub. L. 103–413, set out as a Short Title of 1994 Amendment note under section 450 of this title.
Congressional Statement of Findings
Pub. L. 103–413, title II, § 202,Oct. 25, 1994, 108 Stat. 4270, provided that: "Congress finds that—
"(1) the tribal right of self-government flows from the inherent sovereignty of Indian tribes and nations;
"(2) the United States recognizes a special government-to-government relationship with Indian tribes, including the right of the tribes to self-governance, as reflected in the Constitution, treaties, Federal statutes, and the course of dealings of the United States with Indian tribes;
"(3) although progress has been made, the Federal bureaucracy, with its centralized rules and regulations, has eroded tribal self-governance and dominates tribal affairs;
"(4) the Tribal Self-Governance Demonstration Project [established by title III of Pub. L. 93–638, formerly set out as a note under 25 U.S.C. 450f] was designed to improve and perpetuate the government-to-government relationship between Indian tribes and the United States and to strengthen tribal control over Federal funding and program management; and
"(5) Congress has reviewed the results of the Tribal Self-Governance Demonstration Project and finds that—
"(A) transferring control to tribal governments, upon tribal request, over funding and decisionmaking for Federal programs, services, functions, and activities, or portions thereof, is an effective way to implement the Federal policy of government-to-government relations with Indian tribes; and
"(B) transferring control to tribal governments, upon tribal request, over funding and decisionmaking for Federal programs, services, functions, and activities strengthens the Federal policy of Indian self-determination."
Congressional Declaration of Policy
Pub. L. 103–413, title II, § 203,Oct. 25, 1994, 108 Stat. 4271, provided that: "It is the policy of this title [enacting this part] to permanently establish and implement tribal self-governance—
"(1) to enable the United States to maintain and improve its unique and continuing relationship with, and responsibility to, Indian tribes;
"(2) to permit each Indian tribe to choose the extent of the participation of such tribe in self-governance;
"(3) to coexist with the provisions of the Indian Self-Determination Act [title I of Pub. L. 93–638, see Short Title note set out under section 450 of this title] relating to the provision of Indian services by designated Federal agencies;
"(4) to ensure the continuation of the trust responsibility of the United States to Indian tribes and Indian individuals;
"(5) to permit an orderly transition from Federal domination of programs and services to provide Indian tribes with meaningful authority to plan, conduct, redesign, and administer programs, services, functions, and activities that meet the needs of the individual tribal communities; and
"(6) to provide for an orderly transition through a planned and measurable parallel reduction in the Federal bureaucracy."

Choose from our wide range of hotels in Frankfurt and combine with flights or car hire to save.
With over 40 museums in town, Frankfurt city breaks are ideal for art lovers. From the Städel museum's large old master collection to the tiny Museum of Applied Art, the city's riverside is studded with galleries, complemented by the embankment's Saturday flea market.
Elsewhere, Frankfurt's mix of modern towers with an old town of slanting, half-timbered houses gives it one of Europe's most striking cityscapes – only London comes close to its jarring contrasts. And while business powers Frankfurt, it doesn't always dominate it. The intact late 19th century streets of the Nordend neighbourhood still have an alternative, bohemian feel despite gentrification, while the Ostend areas clubs show Frankfurt's place at the centre of Germany's electronic music scene.
Visit two of Germany's most charming places on a full-day trip from Frankfurt. With an expert guide to show you around Heidelberg, you will explore the ruins at Heidelberg Castle and see its medieval Old Town, the Karl Theodor Bridge and Heidelberg University. Your afternoon is spent discovering the UNESCO World Heritage-listed stretch of the Rhine River Valley, where you will embark on a River Rhine cruise before enjoying a local wine-tasting session and dinner.
See the best of Germany's Rhine River Valley on a half-day or full-day trip from Frankfurt. As a time-friendly way to see the Rhine Valley, both trips include a must-do Rhine River cruise and local wine-tasting session amid stunning scenery. Leave the city of Frankfurt behind for an unforgettable day of River Rhine sightseeing. This stretch of the Rhine Valley is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and comprises romantic villages, pretty vineyards and medieval castles that frame the spectacular River Rhine in central Germany.
Enjoy a two-hour Frankfurt sightseeing tour by open-top bus and see the contrasting sides of Frankfurt. Commonly known as an international trade hub, the city of Frankfurt actually boasts many different facets, with beautiful Baroque architecture, lively plazas and impressive modern skyscrapers. See the famous Romer town hall, walk around the Old Sachsenhausen district and marvel at the sleek buildings in Frankfurt's European banking centre.
Visit the romantic city of Heidelberg on a half-day trip from Frankfurt. With an expert guide to show you around, you will explore the ruins at Heidelberg Castle and discover the city's Old Town, home to Renaissance period buildings, the Karl Theodor Bridge and Heidelberg University. After boarding your luxury coach, you will visit one of Germany's most beautiful cities, with its pretty Renaissance buildings, framed by vivid green hills on both sides of the River Neckar.
Travel comfortably by motor coach on this full day trip from Frankfurt to Wurzburg and enjoy the best of both worlds. Join a city tour (Saturdays only) to see the city's main sites and then there's enough free time to set off on your own adventures. After a short walk to the market square you may pick up your copy of a Wurzburg guidebook at the tourist information in return for your voucher.

|This article or section needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of GTA Wiki
- "Your brother said you needed a hand. Looks like you'll need more than that."
- ―Niko Bellic, about Derrick McReary.
Smackdown is the first mission that Niko Bellic does for Derrick McReary in Grand Theft Auto IV. Derrick is one of the McReary brothers. In this mission Derrick asks Niko to kill one of his war mates, Bucky Sligo.
When Niko meets Derrick at the park in Acter, Alderney, he's severely intoxicated and incoherent. It takes a while for him to explain that he's got a problem. One of his War buddies, Bucky Sligo who was busted into prison by Derrick is now blackmailing him, threatening to kill his family. Derrick decides to end this, so he asks Niko to kill him.
In order to find Bucky's whereabouts the player will need to get access to a police computer, which means to enter a police car. There are a few parked nearby since an LCPD station is right around the block. Once inside a police car, bring up the police computer and search for "Bucky Sligo" (or just "Bucky").
The police computer will list Bucky's hideout, a Burger Shot in northern Alderney, and then proceed to the destination. On route Niko will briefly call Derrick to inform him of this.
Pull up to the Burger Shot location. A cutscene shows Niko blasting the siren and Bucky riding away. Chase the van through the various alleys until he parks his van at his hideout. Bucky will abandon his car and head into the hideout, where the five members of his crew are stationed. Killing Bucky and his gang will then result in a two-star wanted level.
Once the player has evaded the police, Derrick will call Niko while intoxicated and say that alive and dead are "both the same thing." Niko tells him he will speak to him when he is among the living.
Alternate Way to Attack Bucky's Men
An easier method to complete the final shootout is to take cover and call 911 repeatedly, until the responding police force takes down Bucky and his gang, provided that the gang members are aggresively shooting at the player. After all the gang members are dead, the player will zreceive a two star wanted level.
Alternatively the player can call Dwayne Forge for backup to assist in the shootout. A two-star wanted level will be given to the player once all the gang members are killed.
Mission objectives In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Find a cop car
- Use the police computer to find Bucky's hangout
- Search for BUCKY SLIGO
- Drive to Burger Shot where Bucky hangs out
- Follow Bucky to his crew
- You have found Bucky's crew, take down the whole gang
- Lose your wanted level
Video Walkthrough
- If you're dating Kiki, and are on good terms with her, you can call her to lose the wanted level.
- Bucky Sligo - Killed by Niko on orders from Derrick.
- Bucky's crew - Killed by Niko in the shootout.
After the mission
- Shortly after you finish this mission, Niko gets a phone call from Brucie who says his pal Stevie will be in touch about "some cars he needs found". From now on Niko will receive text messages from Stevie with locations and photos of cars that he can steal and to deliver to him for a cash reward.
- Soon after you complete this mission, Niko will get a text from Ray Boccino. He tells Niko that he has set up a new safehouse for him in Alderney. It is located on Mahesh Avenue in Alderney City, not too far from the Booth Tunnel that connects Alderney and Algonquin.
- This is the first mission you are given in Alderney.

Namtumbo is one of Tanzania's districts endowed with lush vegetative cover and large tracts of arable land, which could be the envy of some barren areas of the country threatened with desert encroachment.
With a population of more than 200,000 people scattered in an area of 20,375 square kilometres, this southern Tanzania district is slowly attracting international newspaper headlines, thanks to the discovery of huge uranium deposits at the Likuyu Sekamaganga area.
Small airplanes, hitherto uncommon in the area, are hovering over the Namtumbo sky as foreign investors scamper for the exploitation of uranium, a radioactive element that occurs naturally in low concentrations (a few parts per million) in soil, rock, and surface and groundwater.
Currently, Mantra Tanzania Limited is involved in a uranium mining project at Likuyu in which it has said that there is an inferred mineral resource of uranium oxide amounting to 35.9 million pounds.
Economists say the Namtumbo of yester-years will never be the same again as the discovery of uranium is set to change its economic standing in the history of Tanzania's development.
But, behind the glorious story of the district's riches in uranium and the expansive land for cultivation, there lies the scourge of "education apathy" – the lack of awareness on the importance of education among the general populace, to put it clearly.
Ruvuma regional and Namtumbo district education stakeholders are worried that this problem is likely to stand on the way of the area's development in this supersonic age.
"Some parents lack awareness on the importance of education. This makes even their children to abandon schooling as they feel they are wasting their time," says Baraka Kapinga, a teacher at Nasuri Secondary School.
"We have been educating parents to consider education as an important instrument for social and economic reconstitution," he explains.
Like other areas of Tanzania, Namtumbo district faces a myriad of problems plaguing its education sector. The problems range from shortages of teachers, classrooms, dormitories, laboratories, teachers' quarters, textbooks, transport facilities to lack of incentives for teachers, seemingly working in a hostile environment.
These problems, over time have wrecked the country's once vibrant education system putting millions of children out of school because the system cannot accommodate their growing number.
Sadly, this is happening in this 21st Century, when the rest of the world has gone nuclear in computerisation of technological breakthroughs.
There is no doubt that education is the bedrock of modern civilisation, without which other endeavours would fail if the country does not do something now to avert dire consequences on our national development aspirations.
"The challenge before government is to invest the resources that are desperately needed to rebuild a free, comprehensive, quality public education system," says Augustine Mlowe, headmaster of Namabengo Secondary School.
Attention must be paid to the following needs if Tanzania is to attain global relevance: provision of a foundation of knowledge and skills that are durable and transferable to address decline in job security, production of knowledgeable workers that can match global competitiveness, upgrading curriculum and content standards at all levels in response to rapid technological change and the development of the nation's intellectual capital to meet local needs, national competitiveness and global relevance.
As a way of tackling the multi-faceted problems bedeviling the sector, educational reforms must be participatory and adequately supervised.
A lot has been said about the decay in our education system resulting from official negligence over the decades. Government has at different times set up panels to review the education policy and make changes.
Inconsistencies in policy formulation and shabby implementation of warped curricula have contributed to utter relegation of education to the background by governments at all levels.
In recent years, Tanzania has seen many complaints from teachers regarding their emoluments. Since this vocation is very stressful, some teachers have lost confident in the country's political establishment when authorities play hanky panky games with their emoluments.
It isn't a concocted story that one could foresee a scenario where teachers would go to school only to while away the time, without teaching. Education authorities need to look at the teachers' problems holistically and apply proper solutions.
Like the rest of the society, this group of professionals is reeling under severe economic constraints, calling the state to make their living reasonably meaningful.
The problems plaguing Namtumbo's education sector are the same impediments facing other districts of Tanzania although the environment may differ from one place to another.
To invigorate the ailing education sector, the historic opportunity is anchored so much on the country's leaders to pilot the ship of state. History is beckoning on the President Jakaya Kikwete administration to re-invent the wheel of education. That is the transformation the country needs.

The Arachnid is a car featured in Grand Theft Auto 2.
The car is a two-door softtop coupe or convertible, more or less appearing as a mid-range two-door more suited for casual driving rather than for speedy travel. Bearing "Spider" as its internal name, the Arachnid's name is a play of "spider" or "spyder", alternate terms for a convertible roadster; "arachnid" is actually an umbrella term for joint-legged invertebrate animals that includes spiders. The car's has no clear source of inspiration, although it is speculated to be based on a 1958 Lancia Auriela B24 Spider.
In terms of performance, the Arachnid is a good starter vehicle primarily suited for travel from point A to point B (in fact, the car is offered to the player as they begin at the Residential District's Jesus Saves), but is not practical for chases or timed missions. The car possesses a relatively average top speed, although the car accelerates, steers and brakes better. When crushed, the car gives the player a Shotgun in the Residential District and a Machine Gun in the Industrial District.
- Strangely enough, the Arachnid the player starts out with in the Residential District has incredible strength as it can push even the heaviest vehicles, though this could possibly be a bug.
- The Arachnid is typically found in the Residential and Industrial Districts of Anywhere City.
