Sales Question:
It's true that some companies set really high sales quotas because they believe if a lower number were given, the sales team would generate lower results. (I'm not saying they are right or wrong, I'm just pointing out a fact)
It's also true that some companies seem to pick a number out of a hat with no rhyme or reason.
And there are also companies that know EXACTLY how much revenue they need to generate from your phone line.
No matter which sales quota method your company uses, or you think they use, here's the deal…
Until it's your name on the building, if the company says, "This is your quota", you either figure out a way to make it happen or deal with the consequences.
Sharing your disgruntled feelings about the matter at the water cooler isn't going to help anyone or provide any real solutions to achieving the task at hand.
Following the same game plan that failed you last year won't help you hit a higher target this year – you'll just end up doing more of what we already know didn't work.
Having a higher sales quota has caused a problem. And that's a GOOD THING. Here's why…
PROBLEMS cause us to find SOLUTIONS. And solutions tend to make our lives BETTER.
Having a "problem" such as an extremely challenging sales quota forces us to:
- Get Creative (Which will also help us stand apart from our competition)
- Recognize and Fix Flaws in Our Current Process (We get better as a result)
- Achieve Greater Success (Experience Higher Gratification)
If you change the way you look at the situation, you can turn what at first feels likes a crushing weight on your chest, into a motivating and rewarding challenge. One I know you can achieve. But it all starts with a single decision… give up or game on! This is where the battle is won or lost.

OKC Thunder has best Lakers scout in Derek Fisher
LOS ANGELES – In Derek Fisher, the Thunder have the greatest Los Angeles Lakers scout in America.
Fisher played point guard for the Lakers for more than 12½ seasons in his 16-year career.
He was the brains on the court for 915 career games, which was nine more than Magic Johnson. No one this side of Kobe Bryant knows the Lakers' objectives and tendencies better than Fisher.
"He knows Kobe's game better than anybody," OKC coach Scott Brooks said of Fisher.
No outsider is more qualified to scout the Lakers than Fisher, who on Thursday returns to Staples Center for the first time since signing as a free agent with OKC on March 21. Tipoff is at 9:40 p.m. on TNT.
"We definitely will talk to him and we have already," Brooks said.
Players who help scout their former team is nothing new, though the overall worth might be overstated.
"Teams know each other extremely well with advanced scouts and technology," said the 37-year-old Fisher, who has seen the league go high-tech since the Lakers drafted him 24th overall in 1996 out of Arkansas-Little Rock. "It doesn't necessarily make things easy, but at least some affirmation is accessible. I'll be able to add some things in terms of tendencies in personnel, but these coaches are great. They spend hour after hour studying guys. They probably know more than I do about the Lakers."
Fisher's transition to OKC has been remarkably smooth, particularly given the lack of practice time. Rarely has anyone needed to re-direct Fisher at either end of the court, though Kevin Durant did motion Fisher to the opposite side while running a play to close out a quarter.
The Thunder's spacing seems more effective when Fisher is on the court.
Primarily playing the role of backup shooting guard, Fisher is averaging 3.8 points and has committed just one turnover in 88:14 of playing time.
Shooting has been Fisher's shortcoming. He has shot just 22.7 percent (5 for 22) from the field and 25.0 percent (3 for 12) from 3-point range.
This includes a horrendous 2-for-11 shooting night in a double-overtime victory against Minnesota last Friday. Afterward, Fisher pointed out overtime wouldn't have been necessary had he shot better in regulation.
"He hasn't shot the ball as well as he's going to," Brooks said. "There are a lot of factors involved in that. He's still trying to learn our system where he will get looks. He has gotten some good looks and will continue to get good looks."
Why has the overall move been so smooth for Fisher?
"It's a combination of experience and having played with multiple teams in a lot of situations that are similar from watching this team," Fisher said. "As soon as I signed, I got a playbook and also a video playbook, so I've been spending a lot of time there, just trying to make sure that I'm not putting coach in a position where he can't trust me on the floor at any time. So no matter how many minutes I play, I want him (Brooks) to be able to call whatever plays he needs to call to give us the best chance to be successful."
Fisher's transition off the court has been much more difficult. Married with four children, Fisher was uprooted from family after parting ways with the Lakers on March 15. The Thunder had Wednesday off, which gave Fisher some family time with his return home.
"Obviously, life changes quickly and there's a lot going on with the family, with my kids and those things," Fisher said. "But on the court and around this team – the community in Oklahoma City – it's everything and more than I imagined in terms of how good it would be to be around these guys. From the first player to the 15th player, every guy has been great. All the coaches, everybody has just been wonderful to work with, so I'm looking forward to continuing this process, getting to know these guys better."
Fisher will meet with LA media during Thursday morning's shoot-around session at Santa Monica High School and also during the 45-minute interview window before the game. The Lakers will show a video honoring Fisher during pre-game.
"I'm sure he's going to be very excited about going back and getting a well-deserved standing ovation," Brooks said. "Obviously, the guys there love him and he should be loved."

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- Village Super Market here attributed improvements in net income during the first quarter ended Oct. 28 to increased gross margins. Sales dropped 0.5% from $167.4 million to $166.5 million. Comparable-store sales were flat. $83,000 to $139,000. Village said the jump was due to an increase in gross margins "as a result of improved product mix." Nevertheless, the gain was partially offset by higher operating and administrative expenses due to higher coupon and supply ...

The apartments are very nice and very well maintained. Management is great! They respond to any concerns promptly and are very accommodating. I've lived in a lot of apartments in Tuscaloosa, but French Quarter is the only place where I feel like I actually get what I'm paying for.
I love my apartment! The extra amenities like the beautiful cabinetry and marble countertops add a sleek and modern feel to my space.

The manager is amazing and quick to have any problems solved, but the trash around the buildings has been getting worse. Lots of dog droppings and trash.

Article: Adjunctive targeted contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for the work-up of Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System category 3 and 4 lesions[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Introduction: The assessment and management of Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System category 3 and 4 lesions (BI-RADS 3 and 4 lesions respectively) present numerous challenges for breast radiologists and physicians due to the ambiguity in the classification guidelines. Different imaging modalities have been investigated for their ability to provide additional aid in classification and management. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of targeted contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) as an adjunctive modality to mammography plus conventional ultrasound (MG + US) in the decision of whether further diagnostic work-up is needed for BI-RADS 3 and 4 lesions. Methods: A total of 37 MG + US-detected BI-RADS 3 lesions and 60 MG + US-detected BI-RADS 4 lesions were analysed by targeted CEUS and biopsied. The effectiveness of CEUS in distinguishing benign from malignant entities among the breast lesions was evaluated by using the histological results of biopsied samples as the gold standard. Results: Two BI-RADS 3 and 14 BI-RADS 4 lesions were diagnosed as true-positive findings by targeted CEUS, with negative predictive values (NPVs) of 100% and 89.2% respectively. Conclusions: Owing to the high NPV of targeted CEUS, a negative diagnosis of MG + US-detected BI-RADS 3 lesions by targeted CEUS can be helpful in avoiding unnecessary biopsies. However, targeted CEUS cannot be used to exclude patients with BI-RADS 4 lesions from further diagnostic work-up.
Article: Multiparametric 3-T MRI for Differentiating Low-Versus High-Grade and Category TI Versus T2 Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to determine an optimal multiparametric MRI protocol for characterizing tumors of low versus high grade and differentiating tumors as T1 versus T2 for preoperative staging of bladder urothelial carcinoma. SUBJECTS AND METHODS. Thirty-nine patients underwent MRI within 1 week before surgery. Three image sets-T2-weighted plus diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), T2-weighted plus dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), and T2-weighted plus DCEMRI plus DWI-were independently interpreted by two readers at 2-week intervals. ROC curves were plotted for both readers to compare the diagnostic efficacy of the three sets for detrusor muscle invasion for each reader, and the areas under the ROC curve were compared by use of the Bonferroni test. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were correlated with histopathologic grade. RESULTS. A total of 49 category T1 and T2 lesions were analyzed. The average ADC of 11 low-grade tumors (1.141 ± 0.164 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s) was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than that of 20 high-grade malignant tumors (0.766 ± 0.091 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s). Neither reader considered T1 tumors as probably having muscle invasion (category T2) in the T2-weighted plus DWI image sets or the T2-weighted plus DWI plus DCE-MRI image sets. Using the T2-weighted plus DCE-MRI sets, the two readers overstaged 13 and 15 of 36 tumors by misdiagnosing category T1 as T2. With the cutoff ADC value of 0.899 × 10-3 mm(2)/s, the sensitivity and specificity for differentiating high- and low-grade bladder urothelial carcinoma were 100% and 95%. CONCLUSION. Multiparametric MRI with T2-weighted plus DWI plus DCE technique is the optimal protocol for preoperative staging of organ-confined bladder urothelial carcinoma. The ADC of low-grade tumors is significantly higher than that of high-grade tumors with 100% sensitivity and 95% specificity at a cutoff ADC value of 0.899 mm(2)/s.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Purpose: To assess the feasibility of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of normal kidneys and the influence of hydration state. Materials and methods: Ten healthy volunteers underwent renal DTI after fasting for 12 hours and 4 hours, without fasting, and following water diuresis. Medullary and cortical apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) values were measured and compared in the four different states of hydration. DTI was performed with a 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system using fat-saturated single-shot spin-echo echo planar imaging sequence. Results: ADC of normal cortex (2.387 ± 0.081 × 10(-3) mm(2) /s) was significantly higher (t = 20.126, P = 0) than that of medulla (1.990 ± 0.063 × 10(-3) mm(2) /s). The FA value of normal cortex (0.282 ± 0.017) was significantly lower (t = -42.713, P = 0) than that of medulla (0.447 ± 0.022). The ADC and FA values of the left renal cortex (2.404 ± 0.082 × 10(-3) mm(2) /s, 0.282 ± 0.017) and medulla (2.002 ± 0.081 × 10(-3) mm(2) /s, 0.452 ± 0.024) were not significantly different (P > 0.05) from those of right renal cortex (2.369 ± 0.080 × 10(-3) mm(2) /s, 0.283 ± 0.018) and medulla (1.978 ± 0.039 × 10(-3) mm(2) /s, 0.443 ± 0.019). Values for ADC (×10(-3) mm(2) /s) and FA in the 12-hour fasting, 4-hour fasting, nonfasting, and water diuresis states were 2.372 ± 0.095 and 0.278 ± 0.018, 2.387 ± 0.081 and 0.282 ± 0.017, 2.416 ± 0.051 and 0.279 ± 0.023, 2.421 ± 0.068, and 0.270 ± 0.021, respectively, in cortex, 1.972 ± 0.084 and 0.438 ± 0.014, 1.990 ± 0.063 and 0.447 ± 0.022, 2.021 ± 0.081 and 0.450 ± 0.031, 2.016 ± 0.076 and 0.449 ± 0.028, respectively, in medulla. The ADC and FA values in different hydration states were not significantly different (P > 0.05). Conclusion: DTI of normal kidneys is feasible with reproducible ADC and FA values independent of hydration states.
Article: High-grade Neuroendocrine Carcinoma With Focal Squamous Metaplasia of Renal Pelvis Associated With Renal Calculus: Study of a Case[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Mixed neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine type of tumor in renal pelvis is rare and presents a high-grade malignancy. We present a case report that a 57-year-old man had no history of small cell cancer but presented a high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma with focal squamous metaplasia and multiple stones simultaneously in the right renal pelvis. The patient underwent nephroureterocystectomy 9 months before this presentation, with evidence of multiple metastatic tumors in various parts of the body. The case of mixed neuroendocrine tumor with stones in the renal pelvis carries a poor prognosis and poses a therapeutic challenge to urologists.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To investigate the relationship of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) values with renal function on 3T diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in chronic kidney disease. Twenty healthy volunteers and 29 patients with CKD underwent DTI. The relationship among ADC, FA, and renal function was analyzed. Cortical and medullary ADC and FA values of patients with chronic kidney disease were lower than those of healthy volunteers (P = 0.000). Both the renal ADC and FA values correlated inversely with serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (P < 0.05). DTI is a feasible and non-invasive means to reflect the severity of renal function damaged.
Conference Paper: Diffusion-weighted MRI in Bladder Carcinoma: The Differentiation between Tumor Recurrence and Benign Changes after Resection[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy of diffusion weighted MRI on differentiating recurrent tumor from chronic inflammation and fibrosis after cystectomy or transurethral resection of bladder cancer. METHOD AND MATERIALS 11 consecutive patients suspected of bladder tumor recurrence at 3 months to 2 years after single TURBT (6), 3 months to 3 years after repeated TURBT (4), 1 year after partial cystectomy (1), or 2 years after unilateral nephro-ureterectomy and partial cystectomy (1) were performed pelvic MRI scanning using a 3-T MR system and phased-array pelvic coil which including high spatial resolution T2-weighted imaging, DWI in axial and sagittal planes and DCE MRI using three-dimensional volumetric spoiled gradient-echo sequence before and after Gd-DTPA injection. The DWI and DCE MR images were independently interpreted by two uroradiologists (Y.G. and D.Y.) blinded to the results of TURBT and cystoscopy.The apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) of lesions and gluteus muscles were manually measured in solid portions of the lesions and muscles on ADC maps for three times by one uroradiologist (H.J.W.) and normalized average ADC of lesions were obtained as ratios of ADClesion and ADCgluteus.. Diagnosis was histologically confirmed in all patients by transurethral or cystoscopic resection of 27 lesions within two weeks of MR examinations. RESULTS The accuracies, sensitivities, specificities, and positive predict values of DWI (92.6%, 100%, 81.8%, and 88.9%) were higher than those of DCE MRI (59.3%, 81.3%, 27.3%, and 54.2%) for detecting recurrent tumors. Using receiver operating characteristic analysis, the accuracy of DWI was significantly higher than that of DCE MRI (P<0.05) with areas under the ROC curves of 0.909 and 0.517 respectively. There was no significant difference between DWI diagnosis and histopathology ((χ2=0.5, P>0.05)) whereas difference between diagnosis of DCE MRI and histopathology was significant (χ2=6.125, P<0.05) by McNemar test. The normalized ADC value of recurrent tumors (0.697±0.219) were significantly (P<0.05) lower than those of post-operative inflammation or fibrosis (1.019±0.143). CONCLUSION DWI is superior to DCE MRI for differentiating recurrent bladder tumors from benign changes after resection. DWI can be included in the follow-up MRI protocol after bladder cancer surgery. CLINICAL RELEVANCE/APPLICATION Be much valuable in the following-up for patients with bladder carcinoma after tumor resection.
Article: Diffusion-weighted MRI in bladder carcinoma: The differentiation between tumor recurrence and benign changes after resection[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To investigate the efficacy of diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) in differentiating recurrent tumor from chronic inflammation and fibrosis after cystectomy or transurethral resection of bladder cancer. Eleven patients with suspected tumor recurrence underwent pelvic DWI and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI at 3 months to 7 years following bladder cancer resection. The diagnosis was histologically confirmed in all patients by transurethral or cystoscopic resection of 27 lesions within 2 weeks of MR examinations. The accuracies, sensitivities, specificities, and positive predict values of DWI (92.6%, 100%, 81.8%, and 88.9%) were higher than those of DCE MRI (59.3%, 81.3%, 27.3%, and 54.2%) for detecting recurrent tumors. Using receiver operating characteristic analysis, the accuracy of DWI was significantly higher than that of DCE MRI (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between DWI diagnosis and histopathology (P > 0.05), whereas the difference between diagnosis of DCE MRI and histopathology was significant (P < 0.05). The normalized apparent diffusion coefficients of recurrent tumors (0.697 ± 0.219) were significantly (P < 0.05) lower than those of postoperative inflammation or fibrosis (1.019 ± 0.143). DWI is superior to DCE MRI for differentiating recurrent bladder tumors from postoperative inflammation or fibrosis. DWI can be included in the follow-up MRI protocol after bladder cancer surgery.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: This study aims to analyze magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of ejaculatory duct obstruction, and to provide an accurate diagnostic imaging approach for surgical planning of minimally invasive procedures treating ejaculatory duct obstruction. A total of 18 men with ejaculatory duct obstruction were enrolled in the study. The patients were admitted to our hospital and had undergone MRI examination and surgical treatment from January 2003 to February 2011. The data was collected by searching keywords ('ejaculatory duct obstruction') from our PACS. Patients suspected having ejaculatory duct obstruction according to the manifestations through MRI examinations and further being confirmed by surgery were included. The MRI features of ejaculatory duct obstruction in these patients were summarized. Five cases with ejaculatory duct cysts were detected by MRI, ranging in size from 4 mm × 4 mm × 7 mm to 4 mm × 4 mm × 9 mm and located in the paramedian line; ejaculatory duct dilation near the median line, with the internal diameter ranging from 5 mm to 30 mm was detected in nine cases; and among thirteen cases who underwent both non-contrast enhanced and contrast enhanced MRI scanning, significant enhancement of the wall of the ejaculatory duct on enhanced scanning was observed in three cases. Mullerian duct cysts complicated with dilation of the ejaculatory duct and seminal vesicles were detected in four cases; in these cases, the cysts were located in the median line, ranging in size from 4 mm × 5 mm × 6 mm to 34 mm × 35 mm × 44 mm, tear-drop appearance, with the tip pointing toward the area of the seminal colliculus. Findings of MRI were confirmed by the observations during the surgery. MRI is more accurate at displaying the ejaculatory duct. We recommend that ejaculatory duct diameter of > 2 mm can be used as a diagnostic criterion with MRI image analyses for ejaculatory duct dilation.

Article: Multi-slice spiral CT scan with lower dose for preoperative evaluation: Living renal donor kidney morphology and the quantification of unilateral glomerular filtration rate[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To explore the feasibility of multi-slice spiral computed tomography (CT) with a lower dose as one-off examination for the preoperative morphology evaluation and the quantification of unilateral renal glomerular filtration rate of living renal donors. A total of 36 living renal donors at our hospital from May 2008 to June 2009 were examined by 64-slice spiral CT and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Living renal donors were examined with a plain scan and three-phase enhancement CT scan. Also there were two inserted dynamic scans, one after the injection of contrast agent and the other between cortex and parenchymal phases. Image reconstructions were performed to observe renal parenchyma, renal vessels and collecting system. Comparisons were made with intra-operative findings. And the known Patlak equation was used simultaneously. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in a single kidney was calculated on CT and SPECT respectively. The GFRs of two groups were analyzed to investigate the Pearson correlation and simple linear regression between them. Twenty of 36 renal living donor kidneys underwent the operation, variations of morphology detected by CT were all corresponded with the operation. The GFR values estimated from CT were (42.4 ± 8.9) ml/min (left) and 43.2 ± 8.4) ml/min (right). While GFR of SPECT 47.4 ± 9.3) ml/min (left) and 48.2 ± 8.5) ml/min (right). Linear trend was found between the GFRs of CT and SPECT. Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient r = 0.753 (left) (P < 0.01), r = 0.709 (right) (P < 0.01). These values indicated that the GFR from CT was positively correlated with the GFR from SPECT. During the preoperative evaluation, multi-slice spiral CT may provide both anatomic information and the GFR of living renal donors.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Primary adenocarcinoma of the renal pelvis is rarely reported in the literature. Here we present a case of primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the renal pelvis with elevated serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) levels. A 56-year-old woman was referred to our center with intermittent fever and left-sided back pain for 1 month. Computed tomography showed bilateral nephrolithiasis, mild right hydronephrosis and left pyonephrosis accompanied with ambiguous soft tissues. A radionucleorenogram showed that the glomerular filtration rate of the left and right kidney was 0 and 79 ml/min, respectively. Left nephrectomy was performed without lymph node dissection. Histopathology revealed mucinous adenocarcinoma and elevated serum CEA and CA19-9 levels were found. She died of multiorgan metastasis after 5 months. A review of the literature is also reported.
Article: Multi-detector row CT as a "one-stop" examination in the preoperative evaluation of the morphology and function of living renal donors: Preliminary study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: We designed to investigate the feasibility of multi-detector row computerized tomography (CT) as a "one-stop" examination for the simultaneous preoperative evaluation of the morphology and function of living renal donors. 21 living renal donors were examined by 64-slice spiral CT with a three-phase enhancement CT scan and two inserted dynamic scans. The maximum intensity projection (MIP), multi-planar reformation (MPR), and volume reconstruction (VR) procedures were performed to compare the renal parenchyma, renal vessels, and collecting system with operational findings. The known Patlak equation was used to calculate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR); exact GFR information was acquired by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Our results as following, there were 3 cases of artery variation and 3 cases of vein variation. CT findings all corresponded with the operation, and the sensitivity, positive predictive value, specialty, and negative predictive value of CT were all 100%. The r of the GFR values estimated from CT is 0.894 (left) (P < 0.001) and 0.881 (right) (P < 0.001). In conclusions, our findings demonstrate that 64-slice spiral CT may offer a "one-stop" examination to replace SPECT in the preoperative evaluation of living renal donors to simultaneously provide information regarding both anatomy and the GFR of living renal donors.
Article: Differentiation of CT scan diagnosis between minimal fat renal angiomyolipoma with sufficient blood supply and clear cell renal carcinoma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Objective The aim of our study was to investigate the feature of minimal fat renal angiomyolipoma with sufficient blood supply using CT scans and improve the diagnosis accuracy required to differentiate it from clear cell renal carcinoma. Methods Retrospective analysis of 24 cases of post-surgery confirmed angiomyolipoma with sufficient blood supply (total of 25 tumors) in our hospital that were used for a pathological comparison study. Results Among the 24 patients diagnosed with angiomyolipoma, nobody had bloody urine. Of the 96 patients diagnosed with clear cell renal cancer, 14 had bloody urine (14.6%). In our studied group, the size of angiomyolipomas with sufficient blood supply was between 1.5 cm × 2.0 cm to 8.0 cm × 10.0 cm. During CT scan analysis, twenty tumors had similar density, and five of them had higher density. Only one tumor had a few dots of calcification (4%). Adipose tissue was not visible in 9 tumors, while 16 tumors had visible dots of adipose tissue, as visualized by CT scan. Intensive scanning indicated that all of the tumors showed a strong enhancement in the renal corticomedullary phase. Twenty tumors had significant heterogeneous enhancement in the early phase, while another set of five cases had homogenous prolonged enhancement. Nineteen patients had surgery to remove the angiomyolipomas, while six patients had single side kidney removal due to misdiagnosis for renal cancer in cases where the tumor severely compromised the renal parenchyma and sinus. All 25 cases were classified as renal angiomyolipoma by pathological analysis. Within the 96 cases of clear cell renal cancer, 64 tumors had relatively low density, 29 tumors had equal density, and 3 cases had relatively higher density. Fourteen of the tumors had calcification (14.6%), and none of them had visualized adipose tissue. Enhanced CT scans indicated that 69 cases of renal cancer showed significant enhancement in the renal corticomedullary phase, which had the abnormal pattern of "fast-in-and-fast-out". Additionally, 27 cases had slow and prolonged enhancement. Conclusion Similar to clear cell renal carcinomas, angiomyolipomas with sufficient blood supply also appear to exhibit abnormal enhancement with a pattern of "fast-in-and-fast-out" during the early phase, which is easily misdiagnosed as renal cancer. It is difficult to differentiate them merely through CT scans; the key to differentiating them is to identify the adipose tissue within the tumor. Therefore, it is helpful to use thin-layer CT scans to locate the adipose tissue.

In the elderly patients, it may be mistaken for prostate carcinoma, both clinically and by conventional radiology. However, magnetic resonance spectroscopy can provide more information to differentiate prostate tuberculosis from prostate cancer.
Article: [Value of 3D 1H-MRS with body coil at 3T in the differential diagnosis of the prostate cancer][Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To assess the value of three dimensional proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (3D 1H-MRS) with body coil at 3T in the differential diagnosis of prostate cancer. Forty patients suspected of prostate cancer underwent MRI and MRS examinations, and then transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy for pathological diagnosis. The MRI and MRS features of benign prostate hyperplasia, prostate cancer and prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) were analyzed in comparison with the pathological reports, and the receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn for the diagnosis of cancer from peripheral zones. The examinations were accomplished for all the patients. The mean ratios of (Cho + Cre)/Cit in the interstitial and glandular hyperplasia tissues, the cancer tissue of the central and peripheral glands, the healthy peripheral gland and PIN were 0.75 +/- 0.23, 0.59 +/- 0.14, 1.79 +/- 0.90, 1.18 +/- 0.95, 0.46 +/- 0.18, and 0.97 +/- 0.10, respectively, with statistically significant differences between the cancer and normal prostate tissues (P < 0.01). The optimum threshold for the diagnosis of prostate cancer in the peripheral zone was 0.68 with a sensitivity of 88.6% and a specificity of 88.7%. The 3D 1H-MRS with body coil at 3T has a high sensitivity and specificity in the differential diagnosis of prostate cancer, and can provide valuable information for the diagnosis of PIN.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Objective To investigate the efficiency of helical CT comparing with contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and to improve the diagnosis efficiency of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods Thirty RCCs confirmed pathologically were studied retrospectively. The un-enhanced CT scan and the triphasic enhanced helical CT scan were performed in all cases, the gray-scale US and angiosonography with SonoVue were performed in all cases meantime. Results 22 cases (73.3%) were diagnosed correctly by helical CT alone before operation. 7 cases (23.3%) were suspected as RCC with helical CT. One case (3.3%) was misdiagnosed with helical CT. 25 cases (83.3%) were diagnosed correctly with contrast-enhanced ultrasound alone pre-operation. One case (3.3%) was suspected as RCC with angiosonography. Four cases (13.3%) were misdiagnosed with angiosonography alone. 29 cases (96.7%) were diagnosed correctly by helical CT combining with angiosonography before operation, one case (3.3%) was diagnosed as renal mass with both helical CT and angiosonography. Conclusion Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is sensitive in detecting blood flow, it can detect the enhancement of the tumor which cannot be detected by helical CT. CT and angiosonography have strong complement each other in the diagnosis of RCC.

Kidney stones
Kidney stones
Also known as: Calculus, urinary, Urinary calculus
Kidney stones are made of salts and minerals in the urine that stick together to form small "pebbles." They are usually painless while they remain in the kidney, but they can cause severe pain as they travel through the ureters (narrow tubes that connect the kidneys and the bladder) to exit the body during urination.
Symptoms of a kidney stone include severe pain on one side of the back, just below the rib cage (flank pain). The pain may spread to the lower abdomen, groin, and genital area. Other symptoms include blood in the urine (hematuria), painful or frequent urination (dysuria) and nausea and vomiting.

When principals and teachers spend time in other countries or working with other educators they find ideas for new, more effective lessons for students; but schools don't always have money to fly them across the nation or world.
So teachers and principals look for other ways to cover travel and training costs.
This summer, Northwood Elementary School Principal Katie Crites will spend two weeks in Japan, traveling to Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto to visit schools, businesses, museums and government agencies. She applied for and received a grant from The Japan Foundation, based in Los Angeles, that will pay for the roughly $5,000 trip.
Superintendent David Clendening told Crites and other Franklin administrators about the grant, encouraging them to apply. When Crites returns, she plans to work with students and teachers at Franklin Community High School to find ways to include lessons on Japanese language and culture in some Northwood classes. Younger students can start considering whether they want to take Japanese in high school, Crites said.
"(The lessons) won't be really in depth, but they will be an introduction for them to get excited to potentially take Japanese in high school," Crites said.
Other Johnson County school districts also regularly encourage teachers to apply for programs or grants that give them opportunities to see the world. Teachers and principals aren't required to find grants for summer training, but those who do typically return with new methods to teach students about different cultures, administrators said.
"It makes learning fun, and we always encourage hands-on learning and exposure for our students. And it's important for teachers and administrators to have that opportunity as well," Crites said.
At Clark-Pleasant, school officials often try to bring educators giving presentations to Whiteland, instead of sending one or more of their employees on an overnight trip, assistant superintendent John Schilawski said. School officials also have been looking for grants and other programs that will cover the costs of sending teachers to training sessions.
Last year, for example, Clark-Pleasant received a grant that pays students who take specific Advanced Placement courses and earn top scores on the end-of-year exams. Part of that grant also paid for the school district to send at least 14 teachers to summer training sessions, which show teachers more ways to help students succeed in the courses. Before Clark-Pleasant received the grant, school officials could afford to send only one teacher per year to the training.
Educators also seek out grants and programs on their own. Last year, Whiteland Community High School band director Pete Sampson received a grant that paid for him to go to England, where he spent time studying folk music.
When he returned, he created lessons based on the English folk songs. Schilawski said Sampson likely wouldn't have been able to plan those lessons if he hadn't taken the trip and experienced the performances firsthand.
"You have teachers who are constantly seeking improvement, so they seek out professional development opportunities," Schilawski said.

This review is from: Speck Black SeeThru SATIN for MacBook Air 13" Model SPK-A0226
Pros: This case is amazing looking see thru so the mac logo glows through ver protective, makes you think that its almost a part of the air itself.
Cons: After having it for a month it began to fall apart. There are 4 main tabs that connect this protective case to the base of the air and all of them have fallen of by month 4. So now the bottom portion of this case has to be either taped or continuously held to keep from falling off.
Other Thoughts: Would like to know if anybody else is having the same issues.

I don't know of a Shimano compatibility document per se. I have been able to have all my questions answered:
1) Here
2) Sheldon Brown
3) Good local mechanics
4) Buddies
5) Trial and error
Pretty much in that order for success.
+1 on Sheldon Brown for this info -- maybe more reliable than Shimano itself, because not market driven.
The majority of the compatibility questions don't revolve around is RD-xxxx compatible with CS-xxxx, but will can I get my Manfucaturers X-speed shifter/brifter work with this derailleur or cassette/freewheel.
I don't know if some of the incompatibilities can be overcome by changing spacers. Likely not worth it, but you won't find that in the Shimano literature either.
Having many sources of information is not a bad thing.

I wouldn't call it "lying" as much as having a margin of error. Much like overclocking a computer, there are always "hacks" that allow one to exceed the manufacturer's specs...at the risk of accelerated wear, less than optimal performance, loss of warranties and more attention paid to maintenance. I'm sure the folks at Shimano (and PC hardware manufacturers) are well aware of how their products are being implemented by savvy enthusiasts, but using their compatibility specs keeps things within a "safe" level of wear, keeps returns to a minimum, and allows almost any mechanic a reasonable chance at building a modular drivetrain that works well with a minimum of incompatibility issues. The extra capacities are built in to ensure reliability.

President Barack Obama defended his administration's right to engage in extensive surveillance of U.S. communications in an interview with PBS host Charlie Rose, saying the programs had disrupted multiple terrorist plots and had adequate checks and balances.
During the interview –which was conducted Sunday before Obama left for Europe and aired Monday night — the president took pains to distinguish his national security approach from those of former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney.
"My concern has always been not that we shouldn't do intelligence-gathering to prevent terrorism, but rather are we setting up a system of checks and balances?" Obama said, according to a transcript provided by PBS.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, Obama argued, provided sufficient oversight of the National Security Agency's activities and said the government was "making the right trade-offs" in balancing privacy rights with national security prerogatives.
"What I can say unequivocally is that if you are a U.S. person, the NSA cannot listen to your telephone calls, and the NSA cannot target your emails," he added, before Rose interjected, "And have not."
"And have not," Obama reiterated. "They cannot and have not, by law and by rule, and unless they — and usually it wouldn't be 'they,' it'd be the FBI — go to a court, and obtain a warrant, and seek probable cause, the same way it's always been, the same way when we were growing up and we were watching movies, you want to go set up a wiretap, you got to go to a judge, show probable cause."
The number of requests for wiretapping orders from the FISA court, Obama said, is "surprisingly small."
Details about the NSA programs, disclosed to The Washington Post and Britain's Guardian newspaper by former government contractor Edward Snowden, has set off a furious debate in Washington about Obama's civil liberties record.
The president said in the PBS interview that the trade-off in privacy rights was worth it because the programs "have disrupted plots, not just here in the United States but overseas as well."
Referring to foiled terrorist Najibullah Zazi, who pleaded guilty in 2010 to trying to detonate explosives in the New York subway system, Obama said, "Now, we might have caught him some other way. We might have disrupted it because a New York cop saw he was suspicious. Maybe he turned out to be incompetent and the bomb didn't go off. But at the margins we are increasing our chances of preventing a catastrophe like that through these programs."

Web Hosting Information Everyone Should Know
Anyone who wants to make a website for public access must choose a hosting service. A web hosting service is a company that provides users with a server to store data and make their website available on the internet.
It can be difficult to wade through all the hosting services that exist, so the following tips will give you a bit of help.
When using online reviews or customer recommendations, try to find several positive comments. Taking two reviews on a company and using those to make your final decision can be detrimental to your choice because that's not enough different sources to truly know whether or not the hosting agency is truly that good or that bad.
Not only do you have to select a reputable hosting company and choose a package, you must also decide between hosting types such as Windows, Unix, etc. You need to know what your options are and look into all available choices to see what is best for you and your business.
If you want a web host you can trust, look at the kind of guarantee they offer. Some services offer to refund your money if you decide you are not satisfied. This means these services are very confident about being able to host your website and keep it online constantly.
You should always back up your data on your own, instead of relying on your web host to protect your information. The more backups you keep of your data, the more protected you will be. Before paying a hosting provider, ask them about their backup services and how much redundancy protection they have available.
The minute you start seeing things that you don't like with your web page hosting company, you should be gin looking at other options. This does not necessarily mean you are going to switch right then, but in case you need to, you will definitely be well-prepared and ready to move on.
Be wary of hosting packages that tout unlimited services. Unlimited server space may include limitations on what kind of files can be uploaded. In addition, unlimited bandwidth can be interpreted as a tiered payment plan. Read the fine print and see what "unlimited" actually means. It may be less than what the company wants you to believe.
Look for different reviews on a web page hosting service. If you know any webmasters personally, ask them which service they use and how much they pay. Compare different sources and look for reviews written by people who have a site similar to the kind of project you are working on.
Try to find a hosting company which offers a cPanel. A cPanel is quite user friendly and makes it simple for you to include popular applications on your site. These applications are usually user friendly and typically easy to install. It is Linux based and makes running your website more efficient.
Do not overlook the e-mail services provided through your hosting service. E-mail accounts and services are among the benefits of obtaining a web hosting service, and it is important to ensure that all of your needs are fulfilled in this area. Make certain that a sufficient number of e-mail accounts along with essential services such as e-mail forwarding are provided. You might also need IMAP, POP3, and SMTP access to their e-mail servers.
Everyone needs a web hosting service to create a website. Now that you know this fact, it's time to sit down and choose a good one. This may have been difficult before, given the number of hosting services in business, but now it should be easier since this article has provided you with tips.

Ulm Things to Do Tips by MichaelFalk1969
Ulm Things to Do: 126 reviews and 210 photos

Half-timbered House - Ulm
The Old Town of Ulm is centred between the Cathedral (Ulmer Münster) and the Old Town Hall and the Danube river. Ulm features lots of pretty half-timbered houses, little canals in the Fishermen`s quarter, and remnants of the city fortifications (Metzgerturm/"Butcher`s Tower"). Keep in mind that although it is the Old Town, some modern architecture has been built here, too (a development concept called "Neue Mitte Ulm"), which makes for interesting contrasts.
Old Town Hall Ulm
The renaissance Old Town Hall - a short walk from the cathedral - was built in 1370. At first a merchant`s building, the front still shows a magnificent mural depicting the trade connections of Ulm in medieval times. Also remarkable are the frescoes and the astronomical clock. The inauguration of the mayor though tokk place in the "Schwörhaus" (see my other Ulm tip).
This historic building was used for the inauguration of the city mayor who had to swear an oath on ptotecting the cities liberties and resprecting Ulms laws on the balcony of this building, viewed by the Ulm citizenry. (Do not mistake it for the Old Town Hall, though).
Schiefes Haus
One of the oldest buildings in Ulm (14th century), named because of its crooked angles and asymmetrical walls. Now a hotel - the rooms feature water levels so the guest can see that at least their beds are "even".
This idyllic square features several half-timbered houses. In historic times fisher- and boatmen lived here once. This was also the harbour where many German settlers aimed for Hungary or Romania (the so-called "Donausschwaben") started their journey on the Danube. Remarkable houses in this area of Ulm are the
- Schönes Haus
- Zunfthaus
- Lochmühle
- Gerberhaus
- Schiefes Haus
- Kässbohrersches Haus.
The river Danube divides Ulm and the city of Neu-Ulm and at the same time the states of Baden-Würtemberg and Bavaria. The bridges between Ulm and Neu Ulm give scenic views of the river and the Old Town, and along the river bank you find lots of restaurants and cafes.
Ulm City Library
Ulms architecture suffered heavily in WW2 bombings, yet many historic buildings were reconstructed. Ulm has nonetheless tried to incorporate elements of modern architecture within the Old Town ("Neue Mitte Ulm"). It is a highly controversial topic in Ulm, but as a neutral observer I think the modern parts fit in quite nicely for the most part. Some examples are the giant glass pyramid that is the City Library, the dark red "Museumsgesellschaft"building, the City Museum and the headquarter of the Ulm Sparkasse - all in walking distance to the Ulm Münster.
You do not get a certificate if you climb the highest church tower worldwide (161 m) but you certainly deserve it if you have mastered the 730 and more steps (one way) towards the tower. The (several) viewing platforms give great unobstructed panoramas of Ulm and the Danube, and you can regognize many fine architectural details on the way, especially the different types of gargoyles!
This gothic cathedral - built in the 14th century, completed in the 19th century - is the landmark of Ulm and a world record holder for the highest church tower in Christendom (161 m). If you are physically fit, I recommend climbing the roughly 730 steps to the tower with a wonderful view over Ulm - it is so far above it will make you dizzy even if you are used to great heights! The cathedral interior features beautiful old and modern stained-glass-windows and unusual choir banks with wood-carved heads at the aisles.

The dirty pixelated coloring is a really cool effect. I don't think many people would try to go for that look, but you pull it off really well. Great Job and nice scene
Lovely colors!
The art style is very reminiscent of the art from the Green Wake series of comics. Fantastic stuff!
Great concept!

From the morning cords to the untouched trees, Salomon doth bequeathed its Lord Ski to rule over the entire mountain. The Lord's composite wood core delivereth gentle but firm justice, and the Edgy Monocoque construction increases torsional rigidity while it cuts overall weight.
- Edgy Monocoque construction blends a capped top with more vertical sidewalls for precise edge grip and efficient energy transfer from skier to ski
- All Terrain rocker at the tip aids flotation and prevents deflection in variable, choppy snow
- Semi-twin-tip tail provides a playful feel and allows for switch riding
- Wood core with composite layer combines the stability, pop, and dampening you crave with added weight savings
- Edge Armor tech links the ski's left and right edges with a strong polyethylene cord for added durability
- Total Edge Reinforcement adds a layer of fiberglass directly on the edges for added durability
- Wide edges stand up to abuse and provide additional shock resistance

Damn fun ski
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've been skiing my Lords for four season now and I keep coming back to them. I have a three-ski quiver with Rossi Super 7s for powder days and Rossi CX 80 Ti's for hard pack GS cruising. But the Lords are perfect for those days at Whistler when the fresh powder is tracked out but the snow is still soft on the edge of the runs. These ski are light, fun and I can charge hard through crude and bumps and anything all day on any run. Love them. Love em. Love em.
A great ski!
I love the Lord I took a pair out last weekend after we'd gotten about 20" of snow and loved them. They took everything in stride and were able to ski comfortably with my 3yr old on the teaching hill and 10yr old on greens and blue groomers. I skied the morning on the double blacks and in the trees with mid thigh powder and the skis were excellent. They held an edge great on the groomers and made great turns at every speed. I bought a set after I returned the demos and had them mounted with Z12 bindings one ski with the binding weighs only 5lbs. I'm 5'9", weigh 200lbs, and have been skiing for 20yrs and I never experienced the tails washing out as others said. The ski is light underfoot and took everything I threw at it and kept asking for more. I rode the 2012 model ski.
I suppose every company needs to make a ski that can kinda go anywhere but does nothing really well. Solomon is leading the charge when it comes to ski innovation but this thing is at the back of the pack as far as I'm concerned.
I found that it's too soft to hold a really nice edge and at speed the tails were washing out on me. In thicker snow they kind of bog down. You might have fun with a really short pair in the trees because they feel pretty light but I always felt like they were "just kind of there" and got very little feedback from them.
Trading these in for some bbr's at the rental house was the best decision I've ever made.
Happy ripping!
I 100% agree with p-tex. Too soft, doesn't hold its edge and gets lost in powder. Gets really choppy at higher speeds. I've heard elsewhere that this is the same ski as the Lady, so not sure what that means re: ideal weight for the skier.
Pretty Good
Overall, this is a good ski. On groomers turning was easy and carefree and I felt comfortable at speed. On moguls and through crud they handle well and can hold an edge nicely due to quite a bit of sidecut. A lot of camber means that you can pop smoothly and take the occasional park lap. However, skiing powder is another story. Unless you ski very aggressively in anything deeper than a few inches these may be a handful. At 88mm in the waist and only a minimal amount of rocker, I can't fully trust these skis in anything deep. But for days when fresh snow is scarce, this is my go to ski for just about everywhere on the mountain.
I demoed the Lord at Whistler on December 17. Conditions were spring-like due to higher than normal temperatures. On the softening blue square runs, the 87mm wide Lord made acceptable turns, was forgiving and stable at speed, but my overall impression was that it lacked personality. The next ski I took out was the Atomic Crimson Ti. The Crimson has everything the Lord lacks. The slightly wider (88 mm) Crimson is stiffer and more demanding but if you are willing to work it, you get a crisp, fast ride, nice carved turns, and a big grin on your face. Small bumps that I rode over calmly with the Lord became jumps to get some air off with the Crimson. The Lord is a very competent ski and does what it is supposed to do, but sometimes you just need a little spice.
how do these compare to the sentinels? ...
how do these compare to the sentinels? any reason to pay the extra $$ if you're an upper-intermediate to mid-advanced skier?
Hey Gilliekc,
The biggest difference is that the Sentinel comes with titanium through the ski. This will play a major difference in ski performace, as it will be more stable, more stiff and burlier. Depending on how you skill develops, it could be a great ski of choice but if you're at all tentative, the Lord is a great replacement.
I use the Sentinel as my daily ski and love it.
Hope this helps,
Hi. I have a pair of 2008 Lords and love...
Hi. I have a pair of 2008 Lords and love em but was thinking of upgrading this year to get the Edgy Monocoque (although this might be in the 2008 too) and Edge Armor construction. Anybody know if the difference would be that noticeable? Rob/CO
I think you will feel a slightly more responsive ski but it is almost the exact same ski.

They are working with the microfinance institution Soro Yiriwaso in order to bring their farming activities to a successful conclusion during the rainy season. The crop that they are growing is maize.
Standing at the center, in the photo, Adama is planning to use his loan to buy agricultural inputs and seeds, and also to pay for the cost of plowing on a 4-hectare land.
Production is sold at the village level, and, after the harvest, at the Sikasso market to a customer base which mostly consists of resellers from the big cities.
Adama is expecting average profits to reach 600,000 CFA francs per season. Profits will help him to repay his loan and to take care of his large family's daily expenses.
Ils collaborent avec l'institution de microfinance Soro Yiriwaso afin de mener à bien leurs activités agricoles pendant l'hivernage.
La spéculation cultivée est : le maïs, et Adama debout au milieu, sur la photo,
compte acheter avec son prêt, des intrants, la semence et payer les frais de labour pour entretenir : 4 hectares.
La production est vendue au niveau du village, au marché de Sikasso après la récolte à une clientèle composée essentiellement de revendeurs venant des grandes villes.
Il compte réaliser un bénéfice moyen de 600.000FCFA par campagne.
Ce bénéfice lui permettra de payer son prêt et aussi aider la grande famille dans les dépenses quotidiennes.
Additional Information
Important InformationSoro Yiriwaso is a microfinance institution that works primarily in rural and semi-urban areas of Mali to provide underprivileged communities with access to financial services.The organization facilitates access for disadvantaged clients, particularly women, to new resources and services, fostering solidarity and cooperation among its clients. Kiva lenders' funds will enable Soro Yiriwaso to expand its outreach and target even more underserved Malians involved in business and agriculture.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The paint has some very minor superficial rust but really nothing major... unlike my Fuji. The paint and decals look to be in good shape overall. Someone inserted a small seat post and the seat lug is a bit pinched, I am going to try to insert the proper seat post and see what happens.
So what do you guys think?
