Greece - The 1,200 businesses licensed to sell firearms in Greece, create an impression that the sector is quite large. In reality however, most stores handling hunting and fishing goods are small businesses. There is an emerging market for online retailers and importers of hunting and fishing goods.
Mexico - The Mexican textile industry is very sensitive to external and internal factors such as changes in the production model, inclusion of China and Asian competitors in WTO, antidumping, and counterfeit among others. Due to these reasons, U.S. exporters must be aware of key aspects and requirements for exporting to Mexico.
Japan - Japan is an important market for apparel. In 2010, the United States sold $244 million worth of apparel products to Japan, a 12.6% increase over 2009. Although overall consumption dropped significantly right after the earthquake/tsunami disaster in March 2011, consumption had levels recovered by June. The "fast fashion" boom has slowed down and now consumers are looking for something different. This is a good sign for American apparel suppliers. The $121.1 billion Japanese apparel market is open to imported apparel and does not have significant tariff or non-tariff barriers.
Canada - The Canadian fashion industry is quite small; 96% of the industry is SME's, 38% with 1-4 employees and 58% with 5-99. However it is experiencing a revival, mainly because: There are few entry barriers; Little capital investment is needed; New niches continue to be found and expanded. Domestic production is steadily declining and there is a growing need for imports. Currently, 79% of apparel in Canada is imported. The demand is stable; manufacturing is decreasing while imports are increasing.
Ukraine - With a population of 45.8 million people, Ukraine is considered a promising and growing market for U.S. suppliers of textiles and apparel. The market size in this category is estimated at USD 2.8 billion, which is dominated by imports. The prospects for 2011-2015 are optimistic. U.S. market share, according to Global Trade Atlas statistics, has declined from 2.5% in 2009 to 1.7% in 2010. Ukraine can be an attractive place for outsourced fabrication.
Japan - The size of the Japanese production of high performance industrial fibers is estimated at US$5.9 billion. Despite current economic conditions, the world and Japanese markets are expected to grow over the next few years. High tech industrial fabrics for medical products, renewable energy and environmental products, transportation, and safety and protective products may have good potential in Japan.
Korea - Despite there being an economic downturn last year, Korea's apparel industry has shown steady growth during the last few years with the rapid embrace of both foreign and local fashions, evolving retail channels, and an increasingly wider variety of apparel in the marketplace. Koreans are very brand conscious. Whether they are high end brands or American casuals, Korean consumers demand global fashion brands and they are heavily influenced by what Korean and Hollywood stars wear. Thus, very high-end products were never affected by the recession in Korea.
Poland - The apparel market is considered very campaign driven. Poles are highly receptive to marketing and advertising. The purchasing power of Polish consumers is rising steadily and the average Polish consumer can afford to and does spend more on clothing and footwear. They are becoming increasingly fashion conscious, and demanding higher quality and more sophisticated products.
Japan - U.S. companies who are interested in entering the market should have excellent business controls, dependable communication and the ability to produce and ship their products on time in addition to a unique and exciting collection of apparel. U.S. apparel exports to Japan have been increasing for the last three years and have shown more than a 10% increase for the first six months of 2010.
Saudi Arabia – This report focuses on the high-end segment of the apparel market, which is dominated by imports from Europe and the United States.
Taiwan - If you consider expanding your business overseas, Taiwan should be high on your agenda. Taiwan consumers spend approximately 3.5 – 4.0 percent of their household income on apparel.

St. Joseph's Interventional Radiologists Prolonging Life with Cancer Treatment 05/30/2013 Two years ago, Gary Buss didn't think he would leave Tampa again because of his liver cancer diagnosis. "Instead, I've spent the last couple of years traveling the country in an RV with my wife, something I never thought I would be able to do," Buss says. That's because an outpatient cancer treatment called Y90 radioembolization has not only added years to his life but allowed him to get cancer treatment without interrupting his quality of life. "When I was diagnosed with liver cancer I didn't even know that I had cancer," says Buss. "It was caught in time and this cancer treatment allows me to continue with my life." For years, St. Joseph's Hospital's Cancer Institute has been using Y90 procedures to treat patients with liver tumors. The multifaceted procedure includes embolization of the treatment site, performed by a member of St. Joseph's interventional radiology team, creating a clear pathway to the tumor itself. Then, interventional radiologist Brian J. Montague, M.D. injects millions of microscopic beads that are coated with radioactive material directly into liver tumors. The beads selectively go into the tumors and destroy them, while preventing spreading to other parts of the liver and surrounding organs. "This treatment is ideal for those patients with liver tumors who are not surgical candidates, and those who are not responding well to chemotherapy," says Montague. The technology was approved for treatment of colorectal cancer but many physicians have used the technology to treat many types of cancer with the same goal: control, reduce or eliminate the cancerous masses. These days, Y90 treatment is expanded for many different types of liver tumors. "With this treatment, we are giving patients with liver tumors much more quality time, with minimal intrusion on their lifestyle," says Montague. "This treatment is proven to significantly prolong survival in patients who are running out of options. I've treated patients with prognosis of less than one year who have lived four or five years." Many health insurance plans, including Medicare, cover Y90 treatment. "We're giving people months and even years of life to spend with their families – and giving them good quality of life. There are no chemotherapy side effects, the procedures are very well tolerated and are performed on an outpatient basis. Right now there are no other treatment options with this much impact on our patients' quality of life," says Montague. Says Buss, "I haven't noticed a difference in my life because I'm doing everything I did prior to being diagnosed with cancer. I'm still able to travel with my wife and the outlook is good for prolonging my life." Montague is part of an experienced radiology team that includes Troy Woeste, M.D., Matthew Berlet, M.D., Peter Bernstein, M.D., Kelly VanEpps, M.D. and Glenn Stambo, M.D. In addition to numerous cancer therapies, other procedures performed by this highly specialized team include arterial and venous angioplasty/stenting, uterine fibroid embolization, varicose vein ablation, peripheral vascular disease treatment, hemodialysis intervention, stroke intervention and more. |

Set to return, Lee aims to put out Braves' fire
Rookie Wood draws fellow lefty in veteran's first start since stiff neck
The Braves continue to surge away from the pack in the National League East, and they'll be going for a third consecutive series sweep when they take on the Phillies on Sunday night in the finale of the set between teams headed different directions.
Atlanta has won nine straight and 10 of its last 11 while Philadelphia has lost four straight and 12 of its last 13 as the two teams square off in the finale. It'll be veteran Cliff Lee coming off a layoff of two weeks for the Phillies and Braves rookie Alex Wood finally working in a normal starting routine in a battle of left-handers.
Lee, who made his fourth All-Star appearance last month, has been sidelined with a stiff neck since making a start against the Mets on July 21, allowing three homers in that one. Combined with allowing four in his previous start against the Nationals, Lee allowed seven homers in those two outings -- after allowing nine in his first 18 starts.
In the interim, Lee's name came up in some trade rumors before the non-waiver Trade Deadline, although general manager Ruben Amaro said the Phillies had "very little" discussions about the veteran lefty.
"To be frank, we would have to be snowballed, someone would have had to bowl us over to do something on Cliff," Amaro said. "He's a top-of-the-rotation [guy] who would be very difficult to replace."
Wood, meanwhile, finally can get into a groove as a starter with his second straight assignment on normal rest. Drafted out of the University of Georgia just last year, the Braves have liked what they've seen out of Wood, although his work has been sporadic.
Wood had a bothersome cuticle on his left index finger that led him to abandon his curveball in the second inning of his last outing, but after the finger was fixed before the third inning, he retired 14 of the last 17 Rockies he faced to earn his first victory.
"He went to his changeup and started pounding his fastball in, and then later on, which was a nice sign, he came back to the curveball. It was a nice outing by him," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
Braves: Johnson's multihit streak ends
Chris Johnson saw his streak of multihit games end at eight Saturday, going 0-for-3 with two walks. Johnson, who has 37 multihit games on the season, had the team's longest streak of multihit games since the Braves moved to Atlanta in 1966, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
Johnson had gone 21-for-44 (.477) in hitting in 11 consecutive games before taking the oh-fer on Saturday.
• Another streak is over for the Braves: they didn't score five runs in an inning Saturday. When the Braves scored five runs in the fifth inning Friday night, it marked the fifth straight game with an inning of five or more runs, becoming only the fourth team to do that, according to Elias Sports Bureau. They followed the 1920 Indians, 1929 Cubs and 2007 Tigers.
Phillies: Ruf keeps rolling
Phillies outfielder Darin Ruf ran his streak of consecutive games reaching base safely to 31 on Saturday with a single in the second inning, extending the longest active streak in the Majors.
Ruf, who scored a run on John Mayberry Jr.'s homer after his single, has the Phillies' longest streak of reaching safely since Chase Utley went for 33 games from Sept. 7, 2008 to April 22, 2009. Ruf's streak dates back to last season and restarted when he was recalled from Triple-A on July 6.
• With Saturday's loss, the Phillies have lost five consecutive series, that after winning four consecutive ending with taking two of three against the White Sox before All-Star break.
Worth noting
• With the Braves taking a 5-3 lead in the season series with the Phillies, they also moved above .500 at Citizens Bank Park all time, at 44-43.
• The two teams won't have to wait long to meet again, with a three-game series set for Aug. 12-14 at Atlanta.
• After Sunday night's finale, the Phillies have Monday off before hosting the Cubs for a three-game set starting Tuesday, while the Braves continue their six-game road trip with three at Washington, starting Monday, followed by their first off-day of the second half on Thursday.

Interview: Britain's newest electric motorcycle, the Agility Saietta
Agility will never be accused of sticking to tradition for tradition's sake. Freed from the constraints of complicated combustion engines and all the associated tackle, designer Lawrence Marazzi has unveiled a brand new, fully electric British motorcycle that turns the rules of motorcycle design on their head. The Saietta features a hossack-inspired front end, an eye-popping fairing design and a crazy degree of mass centralization that could only be achieved with battery cells. Billed as a guerrilla commuter, it promises to be a very exhilarating ride. See the video after the jump to hear Marazzi talk about the design process, the future of electric motorcycles and the unique properties of the Saietta.

'Kanto' (Japanese: カントー地方 Kantō-chihō) Kanto is a Pokémon region in the Pokémon universe and was the first to be featured in the popular series of games; it was followed by Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos. It is modelled and named after the Kantō region, a region in Japan, which includes, amongst other cities, the Japanese capital Tokyo and as all the other regions weren't named after somewhere Kanto is the only one that shares its name with a real world location. It was the first region released. The resemblance between the bay formations seen on the in-game map and the actual Sagami Bay, Suruga Bay, and Tokyo Bay formations is particularly striking.
Kanto lies to the east of Johto; they presumably make up a small continent. South of Kanto are the Sevii and Orange Islands. Hoenn, introduced in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, is supposedly further to the southwest. Routes located wholly within Kanto are numbered 1 to 25; routes 26, 27 and 28 connect Kanto with Johto. Supposedly to the north of this continent is the Sinnoh region. Unova is a considerable distance away and it's unknown where both it and Kalos are in relation to Kanto.
In the first generation of games, Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow, Kanto was the only explorable region, featuring a variety of environments, such as urban locales and mountainous, wooded and oceanic routes. In Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal, which introduced Johto, players were able to travel to Kanto (by either steamboat, surfing or the magnet train) travelling between Goldenrod City in Johto and Saffron City in Kanto after completing their journeys through Johto. Since these games occupied an in-universe timeline a few years after their predecessors, some changes were introduced. In late 2004, Pokémon Red, Pokémon Green, and Pokémon Blue were remade as new titles for the Game Boy Advance called Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, incorporating new elements.
Two areas of the Kanto region, Saffron City and the Pokémon Stadium, are playable in HAL Laboratory's popular Super Smash Bros. fighting games. In the Nintendo 64 version, Saffron City is a cityscape battlefield while the Pokémon Stadium is a basic arena and transforms to water, grass, rock and fire type battlefields in Super Smash Bros. Melee. With the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl comes a new Pokémon stadium 2 to play on.
In the anime, the protagonist Ash Ketchum is a resident of Pallet Town and began his journey by touring Pokémon gyms in Kanto with Misty and Brock. Season 1 and Season 9 of the anime are set in Kanto. Location names in the anime sometimes differ from those in the games.
[show]Cities and towns
Most of the cities in Kanto are named after colors, such as Pewter City, Viridian City, Saffron City and so on. Pallet Town is the kickoff to the series of colours, as Pallet (Palette) is a collection of colours.
Pallet Town
- Main article: Pallet Town
'Pallet Town' (Japanese: マサラタウン Masara Taun) is the hometown of the protagonist Ash Ketchum, of Pokémon anime, and Red of Pokémon Adventures. It is also the home of Professor Oak, who gets them started with their first Pokémon, as well as Professor Oak's grandson (the player-named rival in the games, Gary Oak in the anime, and Blue in Pokémon Adventures). It is based on Satoshi Tajiri's hometown.
Viridian City
- Main article: Viridian City
'Viridian City' (Japanese: トキワシティ Tokiwa Shiti) is the first major city the player visits in the games. It has the first Pokémon Centers and Pokémarts found in the game. At the Pokémart, the player will receive a package to deliver to Professor Oak in exchange for the Pokédex. When the player first arrives, the gym is locked. Once the other seven gym leaders are defeated, the Gym Leader, Giovanni, will re-open his gym. He specializes in the Ground-type.
Pewter City
- Main article: Pewter City
'Pewter City' (Japanese: ニビシティ Nibi Shiti) is located in northwest Keanu, between Viridian Forest and Mt. Moon. Pewter City is the first available city with a Gym Leader. Brock is the Pewter City Gym Leader, and specializes in Rock-type Pokémon.
Cerulean City
- Main article: Cerulean City
'Cerulean City' (Japanese: ハナダシティ Hanada Shiti) is the third city visited in the Keanu region by the protagonist, and the location of the second Gym Leader, Misty. She is a Water-type trainer, who is in charge of a swimming pool-style arena.
Vermilion City
- Main article: Vermillion City
'Vermilion City' (Japanese: クチバシティ Kuchiba Shiti) is a large port city that is home to the Electric-type gym leader Lt. Surge and the S.S. Anne. Vermilion City is the only Kanto city to have a port, which houses a luxurious ship known as the S.S Anne. There, the player will encounter the rival again and battle him. After the player exits with the HM Cut, the ship will sail away. In FireRed and LeafGreen, after the player earns the seventh gym badge, the port will be reopened again; it is used to connect the Kanto region with the Sevii Islands.
Lavender Town
- Main article: Lavender Town
'Lavender Town' (Japanese: シオンタウン Shion Taun) is one of the smallest towns in the region. The town is believed to be haunted by Ghost-type Pokémon. Residents of the town include the kindly Mr. Fuji, and the Name Rater, who allows the player to change the nicknames of his or her Pokémon (provided that you caught the Pokémon).
Celadon City
- Main article: Celadon City
'Celadon City' (Japanese: タマムシシティ Tamamushi Shiti) is the second largest city in the Kanto Region. It is home to a department store (the largest Pokémart in Kanto), a hotel, a Game Corner and a mansion. The fourth Gym is found in Celadon City, and houses Erika and her trainers, who use mainly Grass-type Pokémon.
Fuchsia City
- Main article: Fuchsia City
'Fuchsia City' (Japanese: セキチクシティ Sekichiku Shiti) is the southernmost city on the Kanto mainland. It houses the Safari Zone and a Pokémon zoo. Koga is the Fuchsia City Gym Leader, and he uses Poison-type Pokémon. His gym contains invisible walls that force the player to go around while battling trainers. In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, he is replaced by his daughter, Janine, since Koga was accepted into the Elite Four.
Saffron City
- Main article: Saffron City
'Saffron City' (Japanese: ヤマブキシティ Yamabuki Shiti) is largeest city of Kanto, possibly based on Tokyo. It is most notable for housing Silph Co., a massive office complex that spans 11 floors. It is also notable for having two separate gyms, though one is unofficial.
Cinnabar Island
- Main article: Cinnabar Island
'Cinnabar Island' (Japanese: グレンじま or グレンタウン Guren-jima or Guren Taun) is home to a laboratory and an old, abandoned mansion. You can go to the laboratory to trade some Pokémon and identify the fossils found in Pewter City and Mt. Moon. The Gym is initially locked; after retrieving the key from the Pokémon Mansion, the player can challenge the Gym Leader Blaine, a Fire-type Pokémon trainer.
Other locations
Viridian Forest
'Viridian Forest' (Japanese: トキワのもり Tokiwa no Mori) is a forest that lies between Viridian City and Pewter City. The woods are filled a large quantity of Bug Pokémon and Bug-using Trainers. Inside, the Pokémon franchise's mascot, Pikachu, can be found. In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the forest has been cut down and the tall grass removed, so wild Pokémon cannot be caught there anymore. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Viridian Forest made a return.
Mt. Moon
'Mt. Moon' (Japanese: オツキミやま Otsukimi-yama) is a mountain that lies between Pewter City and Cerulean City. As it cannot be climbed, players must hike through the cave area. It is a three-floor dungeon with multiple paths. At the end of the path, a Super Nerd holds two fossils. After the player defeats him, he concedes and lets the player take one fossil, which can become either Omanyte or Kabuto. Contrary to popular belief, the nerd is not a part of Team Rocket, for it is never stated in the game.
Cerulean Cave
Near the city is the 'Cerulean Cave' (Japanese: ハナダのどうくつ Hanada no Dōkutsu), popularly known as the "Unknown Dungeon" (Japanese: ななしのどうくつ Nanashi no Dōkutsu). It is an optional dungeon filled with high-leveled Pokémon, and is the home to the strongest legendary Pokémon in Kanto, Mewtwo. The dungeon is so fearsome that a guard blocks the entrance, and will not let the player through until he or she has beaten the Elite Four. In FireRed and LeafGreen, it cannot be accessed until the player has repaired the machine on One Island.
In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the entrance has been flooded, and the player cannot access the location. However, there is an item located in the water where the cave used to be. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, it returned, but only to those who got all 16 badges.
Rock Tunnel
'Rock Tunnel' (Japanese: イワヤマトンネル Iwa Yama Tonneru) lit. "rock mountain tunnel" is a pitch-black cave that connects Cerulean City and Lavender Town. Unlike later games, the cave is not completely dark. The walls of the cave can still be seen which allows the player to go through without the use of the HM Flash.
Diglett's Cave
Diglett's Cave is a long tunnel that was dug by wild Diglett and Dugtrio. Its entrances are south of Pewter City and east of Vermillion City. After the trainer enters Cerulean City, the only foot-path back to Pewter City, Viridian City, and Pallet Town is through this cave. Wild Diglett and Dugtrio can be found in here.
Safari Zone
- Main article: Safari Zone
The 'Safari Zone' (Japanese: サファリゾーン Safari Zōn) is a wide-open area in Fuchsia City where the player can play a Pokémon-catching game. For a small fee, the players are given thirty Safari Balls (a special type of Poké Ball) and may capture Pokémon in the Safari Zone until they have walked 500 steps. Players may not use Pokémon of their own to battle the wild Pokémon in the Safari Zone. Several species of Pokémon are found nowhere else. In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the Safari Zone is not available because Baoba is on vacation. It reappears in FireRed and LeafGreen, the option to save while there is removed; this could have been because of the Glitch City bug.
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Safari Zone was changed to PalPark and Baoba's granddaughter taken over his office.
Seafoam Islands
The 'Seafoam Islands' (Japanese: ふたごじま Futago-jima) are a set of caves between Fuchsia City and Cinnabar Island. The legendary Pokémon Articuno resides in this area. During the second generation, as Cinnabar Island was destroyed by a volcano, Blaine moved his gym to the Seafoam Islands. Articuno has fled. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Seafoam Islands returns and Articuno returned.
Power Plant
The 'Power Plant' (Japanese: むじんはつでんしょ Mujin Hatsudensho) lit. "unmanned power plant" is an abandoned building found at the end of a waterway just before the entrance to Rock Tunnel. At the end of the building is the legendary Pokémon Zapdos. In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the Power Plant has been reactivated and is used to run the Magnet Train. Zapdos is no longer there.
Victory Road
'Victory Road' (Japanese: チャンピオンロード Chanpion Rōdo) is a cave that holds the only way to the Indigo Plateau, accessed to the west and north of Viridian City. The protagonist must have all eight badges to enter. Victory Road contains many high-level Pokémon, including the legendary Pokémon Moltres in the original Red and Blue versions of Pokémon. However, in the FireRed and LeafGreen remakes, Moltres has been moved to the Mt. Ember on the Sevii Islands.
Indigo Plateau
The 'Indigo Plateau' (Japanese: セキエイこうげん Sekiei Kōgen) is the headquarters of the Pokémon League, located in northwest Kanto. In order to reach Indigo Plateau, trainers must collect all eight Gym Badges of Kanto or Johto and pass through Victory Road, a cave located at the foot of the Plateau.
Trainers face off with the Elite Four and the current Champion to become the new Champion. The Elite Four are considered to be the strongest trainers in the land, and each trainer specializes in a different type of Pokémon. The player must defeat all four trainers and the Champion consecutively to defeat the game and be crowned as the new Champion.
In the anime, an annual Pokémon League tournament is held in Indigo Stadium; the last trainer standing is crowned Champion. It is unknown whether or not the Champion faces off against the Elite Four afterward. The Pokémon Village, a resort which caters to the Pokémon trainers and other people who have come to watch the competition, is located at the center of the Plateau. Once Pokémon Contests come to Kanto, the yearly Grand Festival is held here as well.

- Strangely, Kanto is named after the Japanese region of the same name, probably because Tokyo is in Kanto. This means Kanto is the only region that shares its name with a real world place, all other regions to date do not.
- All locations in Kanto are named after colours with the exception of Pallet Town as a palette is a group of colours.
- Another name for Kanto is Indigo. This is due to when the English speaking versions of Red and Blue were released the name of the region was completely absent from the games and many fans assumed the name was Indigo not Kanto, the name Indigo comes from the Indigo Plateau where the Elite Four and Champion are.
- Kanto is in every Generation except Generation V, it is unknown if it will be available in Generation VI.

Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited disorder that affects the brain. HD causes slow, progressive degeneration of nerve cells in certain areas of the brain. Eventually, HD results in:
A faulty gene on chromosome #4 causes HD. All people who inherit the faulty gene may eventually develop HD.
Having family members with HD increases your chance of developing HD. Each person whose parent has HD has a 50% chance of inheriting the disorder.
Symptoms most often develop between the ages of 30-50 years. Symptoms are mild at first and are often barely noticeable, but usually worsen over 15-20 years.
Abnormal body movements that worsen over time, may include:
Gradual deterioration or loss of intellectual abilities may include:
Mental function and behavior problems may include:
Ultimately, HD can:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history (including family medical history). A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:

There is a test that can determine if a person has inherited the gene for HD. This test may help to make the diagnosis of HD. It may also help to determine if a person has inherited the HD gene before symptoms appear. Genetic counseling is advised before taking this test to review risks and benefits.
There is no cure for HD. Treatment aims to help control symptoms.
Drugs can help control abnormal movements and emotional symptoms of HD. These include:
Staying physically active helps people with HD to function better and longer. Often, physical and occupational therapy may be of some benefit.
There is no way to prevent the onset of HD if a person has inherited the gene for the disorder. If you have a family history of HD, talk with a genetic counselor.

These steps help identify and resolve the underlying cause. After completing each step, test to see if the issue is fixed. If not, continue to the next step.
Sometimes, the thickness or texture of a screen protector or the pressure of a protective case affects the touchscreen's performance.
Try removing any screen protector or case, and test to see if your issue is fixed.
Caution: Some screen protectors may not reapply properly.
Note: Use only HTC EVO Shift™ 4G-compatible protective cases.
A soft reset deletes any temporary files that may be causing the issue.
If these steps don't solve your issue, a broader performance issue may be the cause.
Note: To optimize device performance, be sure your HTC EVO Shift 4G is running the most recent device software. Check for software updates.
If you're still having issues, please try our community pages for the HTC EVO Shift 4G or make an appointment at a nearby Sprint Repair center for more help.

Electrohydraulic lithotripsy is one of many methods to treat kidney stones or bile stones. It uses an electrohydraulic device with a flexible probe to deliver electricity that breaks apart the stones.
Lithotripsy is used to remove kidney stones that:
This procedure can also be used to remove stones in the bile duct or the pancreatic duct.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Before the procedure, your doctor may do the following:
Other things to remember before the procedure:
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure. These medications may include:
General anesthesia will be used. You will be asleep during the procedure. You will not feel any pain.
Your doctor will place a tiny flexible probe through your urethra and up the ureter toward the stone. The probe has two electrodes at the end. Images will help the doctor locate the stone. After the stone is located, the doctor will use the device. An electrical spark will break the stone. A special basket or forceps may be used to grab the stone fragments and remove them. The stone fragments may be allowed to pass in the urine.
Depending on the size of the stone, more than one probe may be used. A stent may be placed in the ureter. It will help protect the lining while the stone fragments pass or damage is being repaired.
There may be fragments that are too large to pass after the procedure. These can be treated again with lithotripsy.
30-60 minutes depending on the size and location of the stone
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. There may be some pain and discomfort afterward as the broken stones pass. Ask your doctor about medication to help with the pain.
This procedure is usually done in an outpatient setting. In most cases, there will be no hospital stay.
Follow your doctor's instructions, which may include:
Call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Removing the XAANoOffscreenPixmaps line might help. I don't think you want to use VideoOverlay on an HDxxxx GPU.
Taking out the other "not used" lines won't make any difference but will make it a bit easier to see error messages.
I am using fglrx (8.12 8.561-1) on OpenSUSE 11.1 x86_64. My card is a Mobility Radeon HD 3650.
When I am using compositing, both with KWin and Compiz resizing windows takes a considerably long time.
The device section of xorg.conf looks like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device[0]"
Driver "fglrx"
VendorName "ATI"
BoardName "Mobility Radeon HD 3650"
Option "Capabilities" "0x00000000"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
Option "FSAAScale" "0"
Option "FSAAEnable" "off"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
#Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "UseFastTLS" "2"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
But I get this output in Xorg.0.log:
(WW) fglrx(0): Unknown vendor-specific block f
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "FSAAScale" is not used
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "FSAAEnable" is not used
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "AccelMethod" is not used
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "CalcAlgorithm" is not used
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "PreferredMode" is not used
I would be most grateful for help on this.
Removing the XAANoOffscreenPixmaps line might help. I don't think you want to use VideoOverlay on an HDxxxx GPU.
Taking out the other "not used" lines won't make any difference but will make it a bit easier to see error messages.
This is normal with ATI's drivers and there's nothing you can do about it, sorry :P You have to wait for ATI to fix the drivers (we've been waiting for a looong time though.)
I always hated how OpenSuse bloats xorg.conf. Anyway, take out the XAANoOffscreenPixmaps option as well as the VideoOverlay one. I don't think fglrx can use EXA, so you should take that out as well. You may want to take out UseFastTLS as well. This is how my xorg.conf looks like:
Code:Section "Monitor" Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0" Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver" Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor" Option "DPMS" "true" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0" Driver "fglrx" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0" Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection
I really don't see the need to spam the Device section with anything other than what I have there, unless you want to force a particular behavior (force opengl overlay for example). The driver will load the options it can use once you initialize it.
still an issue in 9.7...
From what I've seen it is more of a bug in X, just that the slowness is noticed on ATI more. Even on Nvidia, try to resize some of the gnome games, most noticeably gbnibbles, and you will see the exact symptoms that fglrx has on other windows when the backfill functionality is there. Note that, resizing gnibbles is slow regardless of whether the patch is applied or not, implying that the problem is not in the backfill function itself, but that it just exposes a deeper issue.
The patched xserver that has been floating around fixes this issue, but the downside is that you get artifacts on-screen.

The role of the coach is essentially to pull all the players together to create a harmonious, strong and efficient team who are happy in their work.
Choosing the right blend within your coaching team is important as it is the unity amongst the coaching team that breeds stability and confidence among the players and emits a positive vibe in general.
Your assistants should follow the same philosophy as you. They also have to be trustworthy and give valid feedback, which is especially important during a bad run of results. A strong bond with your coaching team is a great advantage to a coach as it provides support and help when facing tough decisions. It also takes the pressure off your shoulders to know that your choices are 100% supported by your team.
As the decision maker and the person responsible for the way your team plays, it is essential that you are confident and sure in all your actions as players can pick up any signs of insecurity.
It is important that you have the backing of your coaching team on everything when in front of your players as they have to feel that they are in capable hands and are being lead properly.
Players are generally insecure by nature and can look for excuses to deflect responsibility from themselves. If they can blame the coach for their performance then they often will.
This requires the coach to find a special blend of strength and openness in order to be stern and in control whilst remaining approachable and caring.
The coach has to work out his players' personalities and know which ones will look for excuses and which ones need a degree of attention and care to raise their confidence and performance levels. This is a tricky balance to find and a challenge for any coach to master.

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited condition. It causes high levels of total cholesterol. It also increases levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL), or bad cholesterol. These high cholesterol levels increase a person's risk for developing heart disease.
The liver removes LDL cholesterol from the blood. It does this by making receptors that attach to LDL cholesterol. With FH, there are problems with the receptors. There may be too few receptors, or they may not work as they should.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
These problems are caused by a gene mutation. FH may be inherited from one or both parents.
If inherited from both parents, the condition is severe. Heart disease and heart attacks can occur at a young age. People with a severe form of this condition usually die at a young age.
If one of your parents has the gene mutation for FH, you are at higher risk for the condition. If both your parents have the gene mutation, you have an even higher chance of having the condition.
FH increases the risk of developing atherosclerosis at a young age. This is the hardening of arteries from plaque build-up. The build-up of plaque can also cause:
Hardening of the arteries can lead to:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your body fluids may be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
Your heart function may also be tested.
After the diagnosis is made, life-long treatment will be needed. The main treatment goal is lower the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, or other problems from atherosclerosis. This can be done not only by lowering your cholesterol levels, but also by decreasing other risk factors for developing heart disease. You may be referred to a lipid specialist.
If FH was inherited from one parent, treatment typically includes:
Because FH is an inherited condition, diet and exercise is often not enough to lower high cholesterol levels. In most cases, cholesterol-lowering medications called statins are prescribed. Statins may be able to reduce the risk of heart disease and death. In some cases, other cholesterol-lowering medications are also prescribed. These medications are best used as additions to diet and exercise and should not replace healthy lifestyle changes.
If the gene mutation was inherited from both parents, along with cholesterol lowering medications, treatment may also include:
FH is an inherited condition. It cannot be prevented.

Gallery: Embroidered Timber Paleys upon Pilers Pavilion Pays Tribute to...
It is propped on stilts decorated with illustrations from Chaucer's manuscripts
The celebrated literary genius lived in a room above Aldgate between 1374 and 1386, where he dreamed about and illustrated extraordinary buildings of Gaudi-esque scale and form made with bizarre materials. Commissioned by the Worshipful Company of Chartered Architects as a contribution to the upcoming Olympic Games, the young design firm perched the latticed pavilion on stilts decorated with images from Chaucer's manuscripts.
The striking temporary pavilion, which – to us – is reminiscent of grand Thai temples, officially opened yesterday to coincide with the start of the Olympics. It will remain there throughout the summer, so be sure to take a peak if you have the chance.

Baltimore/Annapolis Meet Up
There has to be some catholics some place in Maryland that wants to do something? I saw a posting in Decemeber about doing something in the Frederick Area that did not get many responses, unfortunately I had to work that day. I posted something about hiking that got no response. So I thought I will try one more time to see if someone wants to do something before I drop this sight and go to something like Lots of Events or another site.

Stonedar/Rokkon (2013 SDCC exclusive)
Mini-Masters (He-Man/Skele 2-Pack)
I was going over the 2013 schedule for the Classics figures that have been confirmed and listed from June till October. There are numerous figures from different factions but the question is, which figure(s) are you anticipating most?
This multiple choice poll consists of Club Eternia, Club Filmation, remaining CS stock re-issues of MAA + Leech in June and SDCC items (Stonedar/Rokkon + Mini-Masters). Also, the v2.0 Flying Stands are included as well.

Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti

This year is a dream come true for MOTUC. I thought previous years were the best year ever, but now we're getting cool stuff that we've never gotten before and characters we haven't seen since the mid 80s. FILMation sub = best idea EVAR!!!
Mantenna. Loved the figure as soon as I saw it.
The Lurkiest
**Somebody please make me a Staghorn**
Most anticipated....
Mini Masters
Clamp Champ
Good possibility....
NAH e-Man
Recent.... Lizard Man
Wanted.... NA She-Ra, Jitsu....
Needed.... Dragstor
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
Check here for my My collection page, MOTU and more!
Casta by far.
I want them all but she's my most anticipated.
NA He-Man, and i would love to see a NA Skeletor, too.
No more stuff for sell, all donated, done!
I still need MOTUC: Strobos, King Grayskull, Wun-Dar, and Preternia He-Man

Least anticipated: CLamp Champ
Quote the Raven, Nevermore.
It can't rain all the time.
"Live the journey, for every destination is but a doorway to another."
Octavia & Icer, no question.
Sure, I am actually very excited about basically equally all of them, but it's continuously the characters that never got toys before I get most excited about.
Batros should be in that list, but he's pretty strait forward.
I cant wait to play with Octavia's Arms, and I cant wait to see Icer's "Icyness" in person. Semi Transluscent plastic has always been a favourite of mine, and I never thought they'd do that for him, never even thought to ask for it. And I like that he's not just transluscent like Spirit of Hordak, but painted...so it seems.
So there's that.
OH, and as an after thought, I should be more excited about Shokoti, but really I'm glad to have her, but I never cared that much about her at all, certainly not as a kid.
As far as Filmation goes, I always wanted Icer & Strongarm.
I voted Mantenna, but he and Clamp Champ are close....
Personally i'm looking forward to most of these with equal enthusiasm. Leech/MAA I don't need but still cool for those who need them. Flying stands i'm unsure about as i want to see what changes they've done. And the Mini-Masters are cool but not as exciting as actual Classics figures. Still a great year nevertheless!
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*MotU ~ Multi-Bot/Tung Lashor *PoP ~ Angella/Mermista *200X ~ Roboto/Calix *Filmation ~ Teela Na/Lord Masque
*Play-Sets ~ Snake Mountain/Fright Zone *Vehicles ~ Roton/Land Shark *Beasts ~ Night Stalker/Stridor
The rest of the year is actually pretty amazing.
Most excited about Castaspella, Shokoti, Octavia, Icer, Batros, the Rock Warriors, and Mantenna
A Want List of Sorts: Saurod, Buzz-Saw Hordak, Dragstor, Perfuma, Dare, Snake Mountain, Prahvus, Veena, King Chuboolu, Flying Fists He-Man, Terror Claws Skeletor, Point Dread & The Talon Fighter... and all the other POP & NA characters.
Batros, Mantenna, Castaspella, and Octavia definitely.
Shokoti and Icer are very exciting as well.
I'm waitin' for Mantenna since 1986... so Mantenna got my vote!
But I also can't wait for these figures:
- Octavia
- Shokoti
- Stonedar/Rokkon (2013 SDCC exclusive)
- Batros
- Geldor
- Strobo
I know 2 angels: their names are Jedi_Kunle and Mikethedrummer!
Worship the Snake Goddess!
Round 2, vote for
Tuvar, Baddrah, Crita, Granita, Gray, Colonel Blast and the Snake Goddess

What Does It Mean to Be a Servant of the Word?
from Albert Mohler Apr 27, 2015 Category: Articles

Viewing Calvin at the Bottom of a Deep Well
from Keith Mathison May 06, 2009 Category: Articles
The nineteenth-century Roman Catholic theologian George Tyrrell once criticized Adolf von Harnack's liberal view of Jesus in these now famous words: "The Christ that Harnack sees, looking back through nineteen centuries of Catholic darkness, is only the reflection of a Liberal Protestant face, seen at the bottom of a deep well." In other words, nineteenth-century liberals projected their own values and ideals onto Jesus and then used this man-made Jesus to support those values and ideals. Keep Reading -
Complacent Repentance
from Burk Parsons May 06, 2009 Category: Articles
I love to hear stories about our faithful forefathers in ages past, and while it may be mere legend, I have heard that the great nineteenth-century British pastor Charles Spurgeon posted a sign on the door of his study. Each time he passed through the door of his study he could not avoid seeing the sign, which read: "Perhaps today." It was his way of reminding himself that Jesus could return any day. So Spurgeon lived, prayed, and preached -- eagerly and expectantly. Keep Reading -

Divine Immutability and the Doctrines of Grace (pt. 1)
from John MacArthur May 04, 2009 Category: Articles
The Bible repeatedly and unapologetically underscores the fact that God does not change. In fact, He cannot change because He cannot improve on absolute perfection or decline in His eternally fixed nature. His person does not change: "'For I the Lord do not change'" (Mal. 3:6). His plans do not change: "The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations" (Ps. 33:11). His purpose does not change: "So when God desired to show more convincingly . . . the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath" (Heb. 6:17). God does not change His mind: "'The Glory of Israel will not lie or have regret, for he is not a man, that he should have regret'" (1 Sam. 15:29); or His words: "The Holy One of Israel . . . does not call back his words" (Isa. 31:1-2); or His calling: "The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable" (Rom. 11:29; cf. Heb. 13:8; James 1:17). There are absolutely no changes in God, no variations, and no surprises (cf. Ps. 102:27). Keep Reading -
Serving Christ in a Time of Plague
from Greg Bailey May 03, 2009 Category: Articles
News reports in recent days have brought word of an outbreak of swine flu in Mexico and around the world, raising fears of a "pandemic." For those of us who live in the West, where health care and good nutrition are taken for granted, a plague is a thing virtually unknown. Of course, it was not so for our forefathers in the faith. How did they react in the face of mass outbreaks of disease? Keep Reading -

Has Science Buried God?
from Keith Mathison May 01, 2009 Category: Articles
One of the most common ways of looking at the relationship between science and faith is the conflict thesis, which posits an inherent conflict between science and religion. The conflict thesis was popularized in the nineteenth century by John William Draper and by Andrew Dickson White. Despite the acknowledged poor scholarship underlying these works, the conflict thesis has persisted among both believers and unbelievers. Today, some scientists, including Peter Atkins, Daniel Dennett, and Richard Dawkins, are asserting that there should no longer be any conflict because science has shown us either that God does not exist or that God almost certainly does not exist.
