An important, unique, and carefully curated collection of political posters, dated from approximately the 1960s to the 2000s, from a wide variety of leftist and militant groups in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America, related to a broad range of domestic and international movements and issues, providing an essential overview of the global political climate at the time with regards to radicalism, solidarity, and liberation. Some with scattered soiling, marginal tears, tack holes, and other minor losses, overall excellent condition. Various sizes. Various cities, 1960s-2000s.
France, MRI (Mouvement Revolutionaire Internationaliste), 1980s
This collection documents a vital period in the history of both Western Europe and Third World countries in the second half of the 20th century, a time of political upheaval, domestic terrorism, radical left-wing groups, and liberation movements. The posters that make up this collection can be roughly divided into three categories. First, a large number of the posters document the struggle of the militant left at home within Europe, with movements from Germany, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, and Ireland covered including Antifaschistische Aktion, RAF (Red Army Faction), RZ (Revolutionäre Zellen), Secours Rouge, CCC (Cellules Communistes Combattantes), CPN (Communist Party of the Netherlands), Kraakbeweging, RVF (Rood Verzetsfront), AFAPP (Asociación de Familiares y Amigos de Presos Politicos), Moviment de Defensa de la Terra, FRAP (Frente Revolucionario Antifascista y Patriota), Circolo Lenin Catania, Sinn Féin, and the Irish Republican Army. These posters cover a range of issues, including the treatment of political prisoners, hunger strikes, anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism, anti-NATO, urban development, housing shortages, squatters, election reform, the women's movement, and the labor movement.
Netherlands, Communistische Partij van Nederland, Circa 1965
Ireland, Irish Republican Movement, Circa 1980
Germany, Autonomen Gruppen/Antifaschistische Aktion/RZ (Revolutionäre Zellen), 1984
A second large group demonstrates the solidarity of Western European groups for the assorted liberation movements and uprisings happening across the Third World. These include posters from CISNU (Confederation of Iranian Students National Union), Chili Komitee Nederland, Komitee Jongeren Voor Vietnam, MPLA (People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola), Inlichtingen Angola-Comité, Palestina Komitee, Solidariteits Komitee Argentinie Nederland, UJPA Belgique (Union des Jeunes Progressistes Arabes), Collectif Pour la Libération de Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, Comité Catalá de Solidaritat Internacionalista, Asociacion de Amistad y Solidaridad con El Pueblo Saharui, Halkin Kurtulusu, MPP (Mouvement Populaire Perou), Association de Solidarité avec Timor Oriental, and MRI (Mouvement Revolutionaire Internationaliste).

Spain, Circa 1980s
Netherlands, MPLA (People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola), Circa 1975

Lastly, the third group of posters represents the political climate within the Third World countries themselves, including organizations such as the Cuban group OSPAAAL (Organization of Solidarity with the People of Asia, Africa, and Latin America), FMLN from El Salvador (Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front), Partido Comunista del Peru, ASALA (Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia), FATAH (Palestinian National Liberation Movement), PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization), PFLP (People's Liberation Front of Palestine), GUPW (General Union of Palestinian Women), PKK (Kurdistan Worker's Party), YJWK (Patriotic Women's Union of Kurdistan), ERNK (National Liberation Front of Kurdistan), and YAJK (Free Women's Army of Kurdistan).

High Point teen missing for weeks; crews search lake
JAMESTOWN - Guilford County sheriff's deputies and other searchers didn't find a missing teenager Thursday during a second day of combing City Lake Park.
Dorien Daymon Jackson, 18, has been missing since Jan. 10. Between 15 and 20 officers have been involved searching at City Lake Park Wednesday and Thursday, said Sheriff's Office Maj. Tom Shepard.
On Wednesday, cadaver dogs brought to the lake detected an area where the dogs sensed indications of a body. Divers coped with water around 46 degrees. Visibility was around 6 inches, which made the search difficult and cut into the divers' time in the water.
Jackson left his Tangle Lane home the evening of Jan. 10 to visit a friend, according to family members. Nobody has seen or heard from him since he left a friend's home on Penny Road in Jamestown, said his mother, Betty Jackson.
She told The High Point Enterprise late Thursday afternoon that there still wasn't updated information on her son's whereabouts.
After Jackson's bicycle was found near the park last weekend, sheriff's office deputies conducted a search of the area on foot and by plane.
Investigators on Wednesday and Thursday searched the woods surrounding the lake, and divers searched a portion of the lake.
Jackson is a black male, 5 feet, 9 inches tall, 130 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. Anyone with information is asked to contact sheriff's Detective D.K. Jones at 641-5968 or 641-3690.

"Creating self-employment opportunities is not easy, and it is quite scary, especially for some of us who have enjoyed cushioned jobs, good pay and great benefits. However, it seems that there are no jobs that are secure forever and people find themselves in a crossroad; to look for another job or to start a business. The same happened to me. My coach from The Entrepreneur Source clearly displayed the difference in lifestyle and overall benefits of self-employment that motivated me to ask him to be my coach during the transition. His coaching approach and execution was exactly what I needed. I have learned a lot about business startup and franchising and most of my fears were removed after real life examples and solutions were presented to me. He made my transition a lot more fun and less stressful than if I tried to go through it on my own."
"After twenty+ years working in corporate Human Resource roles across multiple geographies I woke one morning feeling that I was no longer revved up to continue in the same rat race that I had chased for the last twenty something years. I had to find something more rewarding, more challenging, more engaging and more provocative than the day to day grind. I wanted to own my business but I didn't know where to start. By chance I found Franchise Match, a site sponsored by The Entrepreneur's Source, a coaching franchise whose purpose is to help individuals like me find a business opportunity that suited me. I was assigned to my coach who educated me through a discovery process of several businesses that he had specifically chosen for me based on my interests, earning expectations and lifestyle."
"I first met my coach when I was in transition after a long corporate career and considering the start of my own business. My coach brought with him a great amount of business knowledge and experience, which enables him to easily coach others. Throughout the process of considering a franchise he was always encouraging, thoughtful, thorough and patient. He kept the process moving forward, has a good sense of urgency, and even keeps things light with a great sense of humor!"
"Starting in November of 2013 I made a decision to leave Corporate America after 15 years of traveling and begin the process of pursuing a Franchise business to finish my career. The BEST decision I made during this process was jumping on board with my coach of The Entrepreneur's Source. I never knew what was involved in pursuing such a career and he did not lack a bit on any information that I needed or answers to questions along the way."

Mass. official: Lots of blame in meningitis crisis
Officials say state failed to take action to toughen oversight of NECC
Massachusetts Health and Human Services Secretary JudyAnn Bigby says state overseers and the managers of a compounding pharmacy bear responsibility for a fatal, nationwide outbreak of fungal meningitis.
Bigby told state lawmakers Wednesday that the Framingham-based New England Compounding Center, which distributed a contaminated steroid that has sickened about 440 people and led to more than 30 deaths, knowingly disregarded sterility tests and prepared medicine in unsanitary conditions.
Bigby also said the state Board of Pharmacy failed to take appropriate action to toughen oversight of the company.
She called "inexplicable" the decision of the board to weaken a proposed reprimand and probation of the center in 2006, allowing the center to continue operating without disciplinary actions.
Bigby said there are up to 26 additional sterile compounding pharmacies in the state.

Twice a month, we ask the experts at the Museum of History and Industry for a tidbit about Seattle's history. Here's what MOHAI's Kimberly Jacobsen has in today's installment.
Where are Seattle's historic haunted hot spots?
Though a comparatively young city, Seattle has its fair share of ghosts, many of whom are said to inhabit the bars and theaters of Seattle's oldest settled neighborhoods. The College Inn and Hattie's Hat as well as the Neptune, Egyptian, Harvard Exit, 5th Ave, Paramount, and Showboat theaters all boast of their own resident ghosts. Last weekend Georgetown's ghosts were honored in the annual Haunted History Tours, but if you missed these tours you might still witness hauntings at two of the neighborhood's favorite bars, Calamity Jane's and Jules Maes.
One of Seattle's first bars – albeit one that has changed hands and venues a few times – Jules Maes has long had a reputation for attracting an other-worldly crowd. As prohibition rocked Seattle dry in the early part of the 20th century, Seattleites looking for a good liquor-laced time turned to Jules Maes, an oasis in the still "wet" Georgetown. Today, while enjoying a glass of the Georgetown Brewery's new IPA, Lucille, you might be joined by the icy hands of the bar's resident ghost who longs for a taste.
Calamity Jane's, a relatively new bar that opened in 2007 has several resident spirits. I spoke with Janice Vaughns, Calamity's Jane's chef, who told me about the ghost who likes to help in the kitchen by throwing cans on the floor. During a particularly busy evening, after Janice studiously ignored the strange happenings, several spoons and ladles were unhooked by ghostly hands and thrown across the room in a fit of petulance. Watch for the short, stout gentleman in the bowler hat- a "customer" spotted several times by Calamity's owner and staff. When someone tries to bring him a menu they find a vacant table and see a fleeting figure in the mirror.
According to owner Sara Arguete, the bar was formerly owned by a gentleman who came to the bustling sin district for an evening's revelry and never left. He bought up the rooming house where he spent the night, and moved in with a vengeance. He was a hoarder of epic proportions- and upon dying he left it all behind for the current owner to cart off to the dump. Sara and Janice believe that the man's spirit never left his beloved house and that the spoon throwing fits are revenge for the loss of his belongings.
Haunted by hoarders, you say, what next? How about former morticians patients? Pike Place Market bars Kells and Post are located in the former stable, crematorium and embalming area of Seattle's first mortuary. The four-story Butterworth Mortuary was constructed in 1903 and moved to Capitol Hill in 1923. At Kells the ghost of a young girl reportedly lures flesh-and-blood girls to come play. Could it be her ashes that were found underneath the floor boards? Perhaps it is this young ghost who also drops cocktail straws on customer's heads and re-lights table candles. More malevolent ghosts have been attributed to the businesses at the front of the building. They have been known to throw bottles, give wait staff the chills, and hold ladders for electricians while cursing profusely at passing ghostly Victorian women.
Are these legends true? Perhaps. At the very least they represent Seattle's rich and colorful past, which continues to haunt and shape our future.
Not scared yet? Visit MOHAI this weekend to see a spooky display that includes a Victorian embalming table from the Butterworth Mortuary, an embalming kit, and a wreath made of human hair. Want to find out about the ghosts who might live in your own home or neighborhood? Register for MOHAI's award-winning Nearby History workshop on Saturday, Nov. 6 and learn the skills needed to dig up the past in your own backyard. For details, check: www.seattlehistory.org.

I would like to know where I can find out the legislative history of FG XVI, 7 regarding dissuasion. I thank you in advance for your handling of my question.
Your question is a good one. I'm unable personally to give a history of the item in the OPC Form of Government [FG XVI, 7], but I can explain the background for its being a well-laid-out part of required procedure.
First, the OPC was formed officially on June 11, 1936, of churches which in whole of in part had left the parent denominationthe Presbyterian Church in the USA (PCUSA). All such congregations, with one exception, lost their church buildings and all associated property. That is possibly the reason why the number of exiting congregations was so disappointingly few.
The one exception was the Second Parish Presbyterian Church in Portland, Maine, which had been formed through a merger between a Congregational congregation and a Presbyterian one. Because the physical property had never come under the legal ownership of the PCUSA, the congregation was able, after a court battle, to keep its property. I was a member of that church almost from the beginning of the OPC till my marriage and later ordination in 1938.
Historically, in the PCUSA the presbytery held title to the church property and had the power to grant or deny any of its congregations the privilege of separating from the denomination. Our biblical reasons for separating from the PCUSA put us into an adversarial situation with the parent denomination so that the PCUSA went to court to retain control of church propertieseven Second Parish Churchin contravention of 1 Corinthians 6:1-8.
I'm unable at the moment to put my hands on our previous Form of Government, but our policy was from the beginning against the PCUSA practice of using legal ownership of property to dissuade unhappy congregations from leaving the parent body.
Our reasoning was that membership in any church is voluntary. And just as we have in our Book of Discipline spelled out ways a member may or may not separate from his church without reproach, the same applies to individual congregations. So we have from the first refused to use ownership of property as a club against congregations wishing to leave us.
That determination came to an early test in 1937 when the OPC was just a year old. The original Bible Presbyterian Church was formed from a number of dissenting congregations who, for both doctrinal and ecclesiastical reasons, left the denomination. It was a grievous time, but the continuing OPC (though it was named The Presbyterian Church of America at the time) let them go.
It took over three decades to come up with a thoroughly revised Form of Government (FG). It was finally adopted by the General Assembly of 1978. I am not sure whether FG XVI #7 in its present form is un-amended from that time, but it stands as a reasonable process for separation.
Only one church that I know of has by-passed the process. It did so by mass resignations and joinings of the denomination of which they are now a member, though the continuing minority has retained its physical property. But, just as a session is obliged to attempt to dissuade a member from leaving the church, so a presbytery is obliged to use its powers of dissuasion against a congregation's leaving. And as long as that congregation is under the immediate oversight of its presbytery as a congregational unit, some open process must be provided. This FG XVI #7 does. And in case there is a minority of members opposed to leaving, the OPC has the duty to make provision for their continuing in the OPC with constitutional oversight as paragraph c provides.
I've not expounded the provisions of FG XVI #7 to you. They are quite clear. But, in sum, this provision uses nothing beyond the power of persuasion. Many congregations have used this provision to unite with other denominations, or to become independent. Conversely, a good number of whole congregations have joined the OPC with equal ease. We do not attempt to "steal" congregations, nor do we encourage such to leave our fold.
Schism is a serious sin. This is not to say that ALL separating congregations are thereby declared guilty of sin against the unity of the visible church (whose unity is disunity is very evident in the church's present state on earth). but we take seriously John 13:34-35 and 17:20-21 as applying to the visible church as well as the body of Christ invisible. We recognize divisions in the visible church as being necessary due to remaining sinfulness of saints on earth. We do not, however, want to exacerbate her divisions, but rather promote her unity insofar as we are able.
I hope this is an adequate answer to your question.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

Merry Christmas to everyone!
On Christmas Eve, I want to wish everyone a great holiday season with your family and friends. It's a special time of the year, and we all need to keep in mind why it's so meaningful and important.
Christmas is the day Jesus was born. On this day we were given life. It's the reason for the season. It's a day of giving, not receiving.
In my household, my kids never ask for anything. You play baseball, you can give your kids what they want. You want to make them happy, and it's always a good feeling to give something nice to your kids. But they understand what this day, this season is all about.
It's always about giving. It doesn't have to be anything material. It can be a handshake, a smile, uplifting words. Those are all gifts. Giving is easy. Smile, brighten somebody's day. Make somebody feel good.
You know what? It will make you feel good if you do. I guarantee it.
I'm pretty sure my mom would tell you that one of her happiest days was when I was a little kid, 7 or 8 years old, and I gave the 20 bucks she'd given us for Christmas to a guy I'd see every day on the street in our hometown of Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
Twenty bucks in my neighborhood made you The Man. I never had 20 bucks, but I gave it away. There was a guy I'd always see in the streets, a guy who didn't have anything. I went out and gave it to him – the whole 20 bucks. He was so grateful. I'll always remember that.
My mom was so happy when I did that, because I wasn't thinking about myself when I gave my last. She instilled in me early in life that the best thing you can do is give. That's especially true this time of year.
I'm looking forward to being with my family, enjoying this special time. I'm right on schedule coming back from my sports hernia surgery, already looking forward to a new season, taking another shot at that World Series crown with my Angels.
I haven't run hard yet, but I've been doing some light lifting and pulling. I don't want to push it until I'm ready. I'll be getting started on my rehab program at the Athletes' Performance Institute near my home in the Dallas area. I'll be ready to go this spring, and I'm looking forward to putting together my best season yet in 2010.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone from the Hunter family!

I hope you and your family have an awesome CHRISTmas. Enjoy this time with your family and friends.
have a safe and wonderful Christmas with your family. Happy holidays!
Hi Torii-We are using Heart of A Champion at our St. Paul Middle School. I know its a long shot that you'll read this, but we'd sure like it if you could come to our school a talk about "character education."

Merry Christmas and thank you for the gift you give us of being an amazing athlete.
Thanks you for your wonderful wishes and your inspiration. This is the season for giving and you are so very right to say that a smile a friendly greeting is worth so much. You are a man with an amazing heart. Your family is very blessed to have you give to them in the way that is only humanly possible. Happy Holiday!!
All of your fans will be waiting and supporting your arrival.
Many blessings and Happiness to you and your family.
Great Spirit Tori. Just a note, although Xmas is a day to celebrate the birth of Jesus, it is not the exact day Jesus was born. Happy New Year Tori!

Torii, Merry late Christmas! Hope you and your family have a blessed New Year, and have a speedy recovery. Its awesome to see that you understand when Jesus talks about giving out of your poverty vs. giving out of your abundance. It isn't an easy lesson to learn for a lot of people, especially these days. I think you have more to teach us, so I would love to read more about these lessons you have learned yourself.
PS – to Hardball37, of course we don't celebrate it ON Jesus' actual birthday. The Jewish calendar is much different from the current calendar we use and it is rotating, much like the "changing" dates of Passover and Yom Kippur even though they are on the same date every year on that calendar. I see it as winter is a darker time and Jesus is that light in the darkness, so it is the perfect time to celebrate His entry into our dark world to light the way for us.

You need extra calories during rigorous training periods to make up for the food your body burns for energy. But how much is enough, or too much?
How much you should eat depends on three things: hunger levels, body weight goals and daily routine. Here's how to use this information to determine your training food schedule.
More: Healthy Comfort Food to Fuel Training Days
Assess Your Hunger Levels
Note your hunger levels to predict and plan when you should eat in relation to your training schedule. Use this scale to assess hunger before, during and after your workout:
1—Starving, weak, dizzy
2—Very hungry, cranky, low energy, lots of stomach growling
3—Pretty hungry, stomach is growling a little
4—Starting to feel a little hungry
5—Satisfied, neither hungry nor full
6—A little full, pleasantly full
7—A little uncomfortable
8—Feeling stuffed
9—Very uncomfortable, stomach hurts
10—So full you feel sick
Plan to eat when you're between three and four and stop when you're between five and six. Waiting until you get down to one or two can affect your mood and energy levels, which will hurt your workouts: low fuel input translates to minimal energy output.
Don't forget to consider the influence training has on your appetite. Observe your hunger before and after each workout for three to five days, and note where it falls on the scale. This will help you determine whether you need a pre- or post-workout snack or meal.
More: Best Pre- and Post-Run Snacks
Assess Your Goals
If weight loss is your primary goal, plan energy input—calories eaten throughout the day—with the output, or how many calories you burn during training. The key is to burn more calories than you eat. Build this into your training diet plan and set short-term goals to see if it's helping you meet your weight loss goals.
If you want to maintain weight and maximize performance, pack a post-workout snack to replenish energy stores and build muscle, even if you're not high on the hunger scale. Low-calorie food items that will help you recover without getting full include:
- Banana and peanut butter
- Turkey roll-up with low-fat cheese
- Hard boiled egg and celery sticks

I've just bought a new race sim, Assetto Corsa, and I want to share my feelings about this game with you.
They say it is "the best driving simulator now on the market" (reviews and customer comments). I was a bit doubtful about that but, after some days of racing around, I must say that I mostly agree.
I play GPL since 2002/2003. I played RFactor and RFactor 2. I also enjoyed some other racesims during these years. But Assetto Corsa is really something completely new. If you have 35€ to spend (don't know in dollars how much it is on Steam), I think it is worth it. What I really like is also the "developers tool" they will soon release which will give modders the chance to add tracks and cars using the same software used by Kunos itself.
Every car has it's physics, not like Rfactor 1/2.
I mostly drove the Lotus 49 at monza66, and it's wonderful. A total blast. Never had so much fun before.
In conclusion, I'm really enjoying this sim and for me it is totally worth the 30 bucks. Glad I've listened to the others who suggested me to try it.
What do you guys think?

Book trailers are weird due to the fact that, when you watch one, you aren't watching a cut-down version of something larger to watch. If you see an explosion in a book trailer, there's no explosion to be seen later on. There's only an explosion to read about. HOWEVAH, lots of books have trailers now because, between the Internet and other competing books, people have literally TRILLIONS of other reading options. They don't even have to read, frankly. They can watch a movie, or give the mailman a handjob, or wait in line to eat at some hot new hipster Korean panini joint (ALL CASH NO RESERVATIONS BECAUSE FUCK YOU), so you gotta do what you can to make your little book—your tiny meteorite in the endless universe of available entertainment options—stand out. And so that's why the nice folks at Gotham Books made the above trailer for "Someone Could Get Hurt," which you can order right now at many fine online bookselling emporiums.
Also, there will be a book tour. The way the book tour works is like this: You go, I read some shit from the book out loud, you answer me any question you like after I'm done ("What's Nick Denton like? Do you have Emma's phone number? Who takes a shit in the middle stall if they don't have to?!"), I sign your book, and then we all get DRUNK. Just so, so drunk. By the end of the night, most readers are usually like, "Christ, that's way more of Drew than I needed." Fun for all.
Preliminary tour dates are here. If you see that list of cities and are like, "FUCK YOU! COME TO EL PASO!", I strongly urge you to notify the remaining bookstore in El Paso (or wherever your hometown is) and tell them to tell Gotham Books to send me there so that I can read to you and charge all my food to an expense account. Or harass @GothamBooks on Twitter until they block you and file a restraining order. That works, too.
Book's out May 16th, gang. Buy it, and help me fulfill my lifelong dream of having more money than you.

VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC (5W-2L-5D) will play their final match before Major League Soccer's two-week World Cup break this Saturday, when they visit Eastern Conference side Philadelphia Union (3W-7L-5D) at PPL Park.
Kickoff for Saturday's match is set for 4 p.m. PT. You can watch the match live on TSN, TSN GO, and Bell mobile devices. The match will also air live on TEAM 1410 and teamradio.ca, starting with the pre-game show at 2 p.m. PT. Fans are also encouraged to tune into TEAM 1410's two-hour post-game show, which starts immediately following the match.
The 'Caps enter Saturday's contest undefeated in six league fixtures. If they're able to extend that streak this weekend, it would set a new club record in MLS. A win would also give Vancouver three straight road victories for the first time since joining the league.
Highlights: Portland Timbers 3-4 Vancouver Whitecaps FC
After posting a 2W-0L-1D record in MLS play during the month of May, Whitecaps FC kicked off June with a thrilling 4-3 win over Portland Timbers last weekend at Providence Park.
Portland opened the scoring in the third minute, but Whitecaps FC answered with four straight goals to take a 4-1 lead early in the second half. The Timbers made a game out of it with two late goals, but the 'Caps held on for their fifth win of the season and their first victory over Portland in MLS.
Chilean midfielder Pedro Morales, the Budweiser Man of the Match, was involved in all four goals for Vancouver. He scored the first two, both from the penalty spot, before setting up the second two. The first-year Designated Player now has a team-high five goals and five assists this season.
Fullback Jordan Harvey, who the 'Caps acquired from the Union in 2011, and second-year striker Erik Hurtado also chipped in with a goal each against the Timbers. It was Harvey's second goal of the season and Hurtado's fourth in as many matches, including Amway Canadian Championship competition.
The 'Caps, who have recorded at least 20 shots in four straight matches, are now averaging 1.83 goals per game this season, which is second to only Seattle Sounders FC. Their 2W-1L-3D road record is also third best in the league.
Robinson's side will once again be without right back Steven Beitashour this weekend. The 27-year-old was named to Iran's final roster for the upcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup, which is slated to begin next week.
Aside from Beitashour, the only other players who are unavaible are Sam Adekugbe (right knee), Ethen Sampson (right knee) and striker Caleb Clarke has also returned to Vancouver to rehab under the supervision of the club's medical staff after undergoing a succesful surgery on a ruptured quadriceps muscle.
Highlights: Chivas USA 0-3 Philadelphia Union
It's been a tough start to the season for Philadelphia, who enter Saturday's contest eighth in the Eastern Conference with a 3W-7L-5D record. Their 0.93 points per game average is the third worst in the league.
The Union are surely hoping they turned a corner last weekend, however, after cruising to a 3-0 road win over Chivas USA. Veteran striker Conor Casey scored his first two goals of the season against Chivas, while Argentine midfielder Cristian Maidana added a goal and an assist.
Former Whitecaps FC winger Sebastian Le Toux, who missed the last two games with a low back strain, is tied with American midfielder Maurice Edu for the team-lead with three goals. The Union actually have a league-high 10 different goalscorers this season, one more than Whitecaps FC.
The Union have posted a 1W-2L-3D home record this season – their lone win at PPL Park came back on March 15, 2013.
"They're technically a good side and they're coached very well with John [Hackworth]," Robinson said. "He's brought a lot of young players through and the technical side of their team is very good. We're going to have to make sure that we match that. Can we put our attacking play on them? And if we do that, they've leaked goals. Having said that, we've leaked goals as well. I seem to be saying this every week but I'm sure there will be a lot of goals in the game. Hopefully there will more goals for us than for them."
Saturday's match will be the fifth meeting between the 'Caps and Union – Philadelphia has a slight edge with a 2W-1L-1D record after claiming a 1-0 win last season.
Whitecaps FC have yet to beat the Union, or score a goal, in two previous encounters at PPL Park in Chester, Pennsylvania.
With the league's World Cup break approaching, the 'Caps aren't back in action until June 25, when they host longtime Canadian rival Montreal Impact at BC Place. The match will also be Whitecaps FC's Italian Heritage Night. Tickets are still available at whitecapsfc.com/tickets.
It's not too late to participate in the best sporting experience in Vancouver. Whitecaps FC offer a flexible range of ticket products, including prorated season tickets ($220), 5-packs ($149), student season tickets, and a youth soccer half-season ticket. Single-match tickets start at $22, subject to applicable fees. For more information on all Whitecaps FC ticket options, call 604.669.9283 ext. 2 or visit whitecapsfc.com/tickets.

text: We finally got the new three packs in our TRU here in Hawaii. All are pretty cool, I don't really care for the blue Dusty or Bazooka. I would have preferred to have had a normal desert Dusty, and then make Bazooka a desert version. I would have them displayed with Chuckles and Night Fox in the desert duel set. The blue camo just doesn't seem to fit, even though one can argue it's a night-time camo. Kind of looks like the Navy fatigues, but it seams odd to display these two as part of the danger at the docks set. Just me, but I like to display my joes in teams or environments that make sense. (Arctic, desert, water, urban)...still perfecting my GI Joe shed where I have everything set up. Once I think it's ready I'll be sure to post some pics.

By Salma Abdelaziz and Jim Sciutto
Syria has shipped out 11% of its chemical weapons stockpile - falling far short of the February 5 deadline to have all such arms removed from the country, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons told CNN Wednesday.
The slow pace of removal prompted U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to warn last month that all options remain available to force compliance.
The OPCW is now in touch with senior Syrian officials to discuss a new schedule going forward.
Meanwhile, groups of civilians were evacuating a besieged city Wednesday as opposition leaders unveiled a diplomatic road map they hope will lead their country out of a brutal civil war.
At least 200 people had registered to evacuate the Old City of Homs on Wednesday, the Syrian Arab Red Crescent Society said in a Twitter post.
Rasmus Tantholdt, a TV2 Denmark reporter inside the ancient quarter, told CNN he saw two buses packed with civilians arrive at a government-controlled transit point there.
While some got ready to leave the quarter where they have been trapped as violence surges, a shipment of humanitarian assistance was delivered to those who decided to stay, the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency reported.
Elsewhere, nearly two dozen airstrikes were carried out on the Yabroud area of the Damascus suburbs, opposition activists said. Subsequent clashes left 11 regime forces dead, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported. Syrian state media made no mention of the deaths, but said the strikes targeted terrorist hide-outs.
Both sides continue to meet for peace talks in Geneva, Switzerland, where opposition leaders presented their proposal for a transitional government, Syrian National Coalition spokesman Louay Safi told reporters.
Key steps for the proposed government would include: ending violence, releasing prisoners of conscience, maintaining law and order, bringing justice to those responsible for violence and protecting human rights.
"This transitional body is the hope for the Syrian people," Safi said.
But Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whose forces have regained momentum against a now-fractured opposition, has said he's not looking at the talks as a way to transition out of power.
Bouthaina Shaaban, al-Assad's media adviser, said "not much progress" had been made in the peace talks.
"We have been discussing trying to reach a joint agenda with the other side. Unfortunately, they came this morning and started talking about the transitional government body," she said. "The first item on the agenda should be combating terrorism, so our delegation did not discuss the transitional government."
Stopping terrorism, she said, is the Syrian people's top priority.
"We want the other side to put this as a primary objective in the agenda," she said, "and unfortunately, so far, we have not succeeded."
The U.N. envoy leading Geneva talks met together with opposition and government representatives Wednesday, the United Nations said. Earlier in the day, he met with Gennady Gatilov, Russia's deputy minister of foreign affairs, the United Nations said.
Meanwhile, British investigators from the South East Counter Terrorism Unit searched a home Wednesday in Crawley, Sussex, in connection with last week's suicide bombing in Syria's Aleppo Prison. British public broadcaster BBC reported that the bombing suspect was from Crawley. British authorities declined to comment.
What a ridiculous agreement this was fine I agree it did remove a lots of chemical weapons, but obviously there was so much more .
Obama did real good on this negotiation this is worse than the Iran deal. I can't believe he didn't drop one Bomb, I can't believe he didn't set up a no-fly zone and a safe haven so these refugees wouldn't be pouring through Europe .
I do not know whether it's just me or if everybody else encountering issues with your site.
It appears like some of the written text in your content are running off
the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too?
This may be a problem with my internet browser because I've had this happen previously.
Many thanks
At any rate, 11% is better than 0% anytime. It appears that the right-wing thugs in Washington are trying quite hard to find some sort of pretext to attack Syria with their ungodly weapons.
America's real enemy is Israel.
Yet again I hear Gomer Pyle in my head.

We drove 140 miles across the Djibouti desert to the Ethiopian border to gain a better understanding of the flow of transported goods between the two countries. Djibouti depends on its deep sea port around which the Djibouti city built up over the centuries. It is the closest and best equipped port for Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, which has no sea coast of its own. Ethiopia has a population of around 90 million, exceeding that of any one country in Europe, while Djibouti has less than one million, fewer than Fairfax County, Virginia. Almost all of Djiboutians live in the port city.
For most of its imports, Ethiopia relies heavily on one highway across the mountains from Djibouti to Addis Ababa. Transporting goods from the port city up to Addis Ababa is a huge business, dominated by large Ethiopian trucking firms. This trip was a picture that painted a thousand words. On the narrow paved highway, partly fixed with World Bank and European Union loans, we dodged dozens of oil tanker tractor-trailers, convoys of container-carrying tractor-trailers and used car carriers. Yet, more trucks loaded to a breaking point with everything 90 million people may need (other than what they grow locally, of course).
Why isn't there a railway? Wouldn't that be more efficient? Well, there was one, from 1917 to 2009, but it collapsed from old age, damage during a local civil war, and poor management. A big question is whether it is worth rebuilding or starting afresh?
Contrast that big decision with these images: during the 3-hour drive each way to the border, we passed through only one major town and a few very small villages. In between, we marveled at the nomads' ability to scratch a living raising goats and camels in the desert. The nomads live in tents sewn together with dried palm leaves. They draw water from widely dispersed wells in or near dried-out creek beds, supplemented along the highway by occasional municipal deliveries. At one point, we saw a caravan of camels carrying large packages, probably salt, which the nomads collect from desert salt-flats and sell in towns. A timeless picture – as timeless as transport and trade have been in this part of the world. Whatever up-to-date efficiencies are brought into this environment will need to be done with a good eye for more than just a road or a railway line.

Thanks for an interesting post and the telling pictures. Why isn't there a railway? That's really a good question and it is really well worth it to rebuild it again. Trucking is going to be always convenient for door-to-door services. However, rail has also its advantages, especially dedicated lines from the port to a dry port in the center of the country. Rail lobbyists in Europe and the US would tell you all its virtues. In Ethiopia, however, I don't think there is such a group to topple the strong dominance of trucking. That's said, its not hard to imagine potential benefits to Ethiopian freight shippers and ultimately to consumers from dedicated rail lines from the port. It would hard to convince Djibouti to part fiance such an infrastructure though?

Azov, Sea of
Azov, Sea of, Gr. Maiotis, Lat. Palus Maeotis, ancient Rus. Surozhskoye, northern arm of the Black Sea, c.14,000 sq mi (36,300 sq km), shared by S European Russia and E Ukraine. The shallow sea (maximum depth 45 ft/13 m) is connected with the Black Sea by the Kerch Strait. Its chief arms are the Gulf of Taganrog (in the northeast) and the Sivash Sea (in the west), which is nearly isolated from the Sea of Azov by Arabat Tongue, a narrow sandspit. The Don and Kuban rivers flow into the sea, supplying it with an abundance of freshwater but also depositing the silt that tends to make the sea more shallow. The Sea of Azov has important fisheries and accounts for a large portion of the freshwater catch of Russia and Ukraine. The major ports are Rostov-na-Donu, Taganrog, Zhdanov, Kerch, and Berdyansk. The sea's importance increased with the opening of the Volga–Don Canal; the Manych Canal connects the Sea of Azov with the Caspian Sea.

Meredith Postlewaite's mouth throbbed constantly, but self-employed and without dental insurance, she had few options.
"I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat. ... I was living on Tylenol and Advil," said the 27-year-old landscaper.
But there were times the Markham woman surrendered to the pain, seeking relief at the closest emergency room, at Oak Forest Hospital. "I'd get a prescription, but as soon as the meds wore off, I'd be right back where I started."
Since the economic downturn, patients such as Postlewaite have had little reason to smile. Some 130 million Americans have no dental insurance, and along with strained finances, there's not much left over for oral care, say advocates.
Moreover, with fewer dentists willing to treat Medicaid patients, including only 10 percent of dentists in Illinois, people are increasingly turning to hospital emergency rooms for routine dental problems at nearly 10 times the cost, according to a recent report released by the Pew Center on the States.
"It's really penny-wise and pound-foolish," said Shelly Gehshan, director for Pew Children's Dental Campaign, which analyzed federal and hospital data. "States think they're saving money by cutting Medicaid, but they just end up spending more on the expensive side and don't even fix the problem."
Nationwide, the number of dental-related visits to the ER jumped by 16 percent during a three-year period between 2006 and 2009. In Illinois, about 65,500 residents in 2009 went to the ER for dental conditions, of which almost half were deemed preventable, according to the campaign, a division of the nonprofit Pew Charitable Trusts.
The trend is not just playing out in low-income neighborhoods, but in solidly middle-class suburbs.
"We're seeing a fair amount of people who come in with some pretty significant pain," said Keith Hill, director of nursing in the emergency room at St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates. "But what the doctor can do is truly limited."
That's because ERs typically do not have a dentist on staff. So, physicians give patients painkillers or antibiotics and tell them to call their dentist and send them home, according to Pew.
But, as both the Pew report and clinicians point out, if patients had dentists, they wouldn't be in the ER to begin with. "People just don't have a lot of spare income to spend on their teeth," Hill said.
Under the state's Medicaid program, an extraction in a dentist's office costs the state $57, or it can cost $400 in the ER, without addressing the underlying condition, said the Illinois State Dental Society.
The Pew researchers hope the findings spark a national conversation on the lack of access to dental care. One possible remedy: They are working with some states to develop training for other "midlevel dental providers" — such as dental hygienists — to do routine procedures, so the underserved have more alternatives.
Though the American Dental Association agrees that no one should seek help for a toothache in an ER, they said relegating patients to non-dentists is "wrongheaded."
The real issue is not access, but the state's Medicaid fees, which rank among the lowest in the country, said Greg Johnson, director of the Illinois State Dental Society.
With overhead taking a 65 to 70 percent bite out of every dollar and Medicaid reimbursing about 39 percent of the service, seeing low-income patients is just not economically feasible for most private dentists, he said.
"This is not about a shortage of dentists," Johnson said, "but a shortage of dentists who can afford to see this population."
Of the 2,500 dentists enrolled in the state Medicaid program, only about 800 submitted claims during a recent four-week period precisely because most practitioners can't meet their expenses, said Bruce Graham, dean of the dental school at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
For newly minted dentists, costs are even more of a factor, with the average student graduating with $200,000 of debt. "It's a very expensive educational program," Graham said.
Cheryl Watson-Lowry is one dentist who still takes Medicaid patients at her South Side practice. But she's had to cut back recently or risk not staying open at all.
"If Medicaid would just take the money that they're spending in the ER and put it into fees so we could cover our overhead, we'd make a huge dent in taking care of this issue," she said.
Over the last several years, Cook County has closed a number of public dental clinics for budget reasons. Add the lingering effects of the recession, and the facilities that remain are overwhelmed, with waits of two to three months for even the simplest procedures.
Research shows that poor dental health may be linked to heart disease, stroke and oral cancers. In children, untreated decay is one of the leading reasons for missing school, said Watson-Lowry, who has been working with public officials to remove barriers.
For Postlewaite, her suffering was finally alleviated this month, by getting her cavity filled at the Center for Dental Excellence in Flossmoor, which provided a free day of care.
She found plenty of company in line, where decay, loose molars and infected gums intersected with joblessness, marital woes, foreclosure and maxed-out credit cards.
Bea Minner, 55, an unemployed secretary, spotted a poster about the pro bono event at a Tinley Park food pantry and eagerly told her daughter, Jody Drzewiecki, who had been plagued by a miserable toothache. Dental visits were a need they could no longer afford, taking a back seat to rent, food and gas.
"There were times when the pain got so bad that I just had to stop eating, drinking … even talking. I'd just put a fist in my mouth to apply pressure and just get some relief," said the 29-year-old Drzewiecki, who is also out of work.
Despite attempts to get into the free dental clinic at Stroger Hospital, Drzewiecki could never snare one of the coveted 40 appointments. The facility typically fields 400 requests each day, according to its website.
Minner came away from the Flossmoor clinic with a cleaning — and also left her resume. Drzewiecki was "thrilled" with her extraction and vowed to take good care of her teeth.
Karen Plath, a single mom from Homewood, lost health coverage when she divorced nearly a decade ago.
The self-employed massage therapist has no insurance and uses dental floss obsessively to ward off decay.
After nine years without seeing a dentist, Plath went to the Flossmoor event and needed just a single filling, she said. "I was so happy to get it done … I was in tears."
Meredith Postlewaite's mouth throbbed constantly, but self-employed and without dental insurance, she had few options.

New sapphire apps can trigger an investment cycle!
Too many new entrants on sapphire for LED market with unrealistic capacity plans. Most underestimated the technical challenges! Prices are likely to remain low through 2013. Many new entrants will fail in 2013-2014: rationalization (M&A, bankruptcy, attrition). In the long term, vertical integration is desirable to avoid margin stacking, said Eric Virey, senior market and technology analyst, LED Materials and Sevices, Yole Developpement. He was presenting a seminar on how new sapphire applications can trigger an investment cycle.
According to him, adoption of CFL and LED stretches the replacement cycle and cannibalizes lamp volume sales. As for LED manufacturing capacity, with respect to nitride MOCVD reactors, 2009 and 2010 saw increases in Taiwan and Korea in late driven by LCD display market. The years 2010-2012 saw phenomenal increase in China. Government subsidies are likely to build up epitaxy capacity in the mainland, which should be more than $1.5 billion.
Currently there are ~110 companies with epitaxy capacity. Many will likely disappear! The current excess MOCVD capacity will be fully absorbed by mid-2014. The MOCVD reactor installation will resume mid-late 2013. The global MOCVD utilization rate is 61 percent. There is wide variability between leaders and tier 2 players in China. The Q4-2012 LED sapphire consumption was worth 3.9 million two inch equivalent per month.
Conditions for survival through 2013 include, having a lot of cash, be qualified in supply chain, achieve <$4/mm cost (2" basis), and serving other market could be a plus.
As for wafer price trends, the finished wafers following similar trends. The 6" is now offered for <$200, but price can vary significantly based on specifications. There are said to be simulated 4" core cost structure for various manufacturers.
Sapphire for LED market
There are too many new entrants with unrealistic capacity plans. Most underestimated the technical challenges! Prices are likely to remain low through 2013. Many new entrants will likely fail in 2013‐2014. Vertical integration seems desirable in long term to avoid margin stacking.
Silicon on sapphire (SOS) market
The SOS market is essentially driven by one company: Peregrine Semiconductor. There is strong differentiation and patent portfolio. SOS is well positioned in term of performance, footprint and cost of ownership. However, other technologies keep improving (SOI, GaAs). There are also IP infringement lawsuits against RFMD, Motorola Mobility, HTC, etc.
There are strong cell phone industry macro-trends such as LTE, carrier aggregation, diversity/MIMO, etc. Currently, Peregrine has ~35 percent market share for antenna switches in smartphones. This could increase to >50 percent.
Tunable modules could boost performance while reducing footprint and energy consumption. Other players on tunable modules include Paratek (now RIM) has a different tunable capacitor technology. It is based on a dielectric material: barium strontium titanate (BST). In high volume production for mobile phone antenna tuner applications via two licensees. It is already in some Samsung Galaxy S2s, 3 LTE phones and tablets.
There is strong momentum for SOS. Digitally tuned capacitor (DTC) and power amplifier (PA) penetration will be from 2013 and ongoing.
Sapphire for non-substrate apps
As cost come down, more and more applications open up to sapphire. Camera lens cover is already a reality in iPhone 5. Other OEM are said to be investigating. There could be display covers on some high end phones. However, Gorilla glass, which is over $3/unit today, is totally unrealistic for sapphire.
Year 2013 looks to have a depressed short term outlook for LEDs. Many new entrants underestimate the technical challenge. They need to look at the technical expertise an opportunity for differentiation! There could be an emergence of three to five strong leaders in 2013-14, plus, a few regional players. Post 2014, cell phone display could transform the industry!

Funds flow tracker TrimTabs is reporting discouraging news for equities, saying investors continued their flight to the perceived safety of bonds in the first quarter while corporate insiders are withdrawing support for their own stocks as buybacks fell to a three-year low.
In a press release on separately managed accounts, TrimTabs noted that net inflows of $34 billion in the first quarter reversed outflows of $104.6 billion in the two previous quarters.
But the direction of U.S. equity assets has been decidedly negative for three quarters running, with $158.1 billion leaving U.S. stocks, more than twice the $61 billion in assets moving into bonds ($31.9 billion) and foreign equities ($28.9 billion). Fixed income and foreign stocks attracted the most assets in the most recent quarter, but the accent was heavily on bonds, which attracted $59 billion—more than three times the level of foreign equities ($16 billlion).
"Separate account managers see limited potential for capital appreciation in stocks and they are putting a premium on current income in a low-yield environment," TrimTabs CEO Charles Biderman said in the release.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg Businessweek is reporting TrimTabs and Bloomberg data showing a 58% decline in stock buybacks since levels seen during market lows in 2009. Investors disagree about whether this is bullish or bearish, with bulls arguing companies are putting their money in productive capital investment while bears worry the withdrawal of support will hurt stocks as the U.S. recovery stalls and Europe falters over financial contagion and recession.
TrimTabs principals have long maintained that liquidity flows signal investors have shunned efforts by the Federal Reserve and politicians to manipulate investors into buying risky assets. A report in January said consumers have mainly been putting their funds in safe deposit accounts.

Screening pregnant women for chronic hepatitis B
Determining the level of infectivity of chronic hepatitis B in pregnant women
If hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) prenatal is reactive, then HBsAg confirmation prenatal will be performed at an additional charge. If HBsAg confirmation is positive, then hepatitis Be-antigen (HBe) and HBe-antibody tests will be performed at an additional charge.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus that is endemic throughout the world. After a course of acute illness, HBV persists in about 10% of patients who were infected during adulthood. Some carriers are asymptomatic; others may develop chronic liver disease including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
HBV is spread primarily through percutaneous contact with infected blood products (ie, blood transfusion, sharing of needles by drug addicts). The virus is found in virtually every type of human body fluid and also is spread through oral and genital contact.
HBV can be transmitted from mother to child during delivery through contact with blood and vaginal secretions, but it is not commonly transmitted transplacentally. Infection of the infant can occur if the mother is a chronic hepatitis B surface antigen carrier or has an acute HBV infection at the time of delivery. Transmission is rare if an acute infection occurs in either the first or second trimester of pregnancy.
See Viral Hepatitis Serologic Profiles in Special Instructions.
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is the first serologic marker appearing in the serum 6 to 16 weeks following hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. A confirmed positive result for HBsAg is indicative of acute or chronic hepatitis B. In acute cases, HBsAg usually disappears 1 to 2 months after the onset of symptoms. Persistence of HBsAg for more than 6 months indicates development of either a chronic carrier state or chronic liver disease. Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) appears with the resolution of HBV infection after the disappearance of HBsAg.
Hepatitis Be-antigen (HBeAg) appears at approximately the same time as HBsAg and indicates that the virus is replicating and the individual is infectious. Appearance of hepatitis Be antibody (anti-HBe) after the disappearance of HBsAg and HBeAg usually indicates recovery and loss of infectivity.
Not useful for diagnosis of hepatitis B during the "window period" of acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (ie, after disappearance of hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] and prior to appearance of hepatitis B surface antibody [anti-HBs]). Testing for acute HBV infection should also include anti-hepatitis B core IgM.
Positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) test results should be reported by the patient care provider to the State Department of Health as required by law in some states.
Individuals, especially neonates and children, who recently received hepatitis B vaccination may have transient-positive HBsAg test results because of the large dose of HBsAg used in the vaccine relative to the individual's body mass.
Assay performance characteristics have not been established for the following specimen characteristics:
-Grossly icteric (total bilirubin level of >20 mg/dL)
-Grossly lipemic (triolein level of >3,000 mg/dL)
-Grossly hemolyzed (hemoglobin level of >61 mg/dL)
-Contain particulate matter
-Cadaveric specimens

While filming Raiders of the Lost Ark thirty-odd years ago in Tunisia, Harrison Ford was battling a nasty bout of dysentery. Instead of filming a lengthy, three-and-a-half page fight scene with a scimitar-wielding baddie, Ford convinced Steven Spielberg to end their duel with a quick and iconic bang. Check out how that scene was supposed to look before Ford was wracked with intestinal discomfort. This footage comes from a documentary that accompanies the five-disc Indiana Jones Blu-ray collection, which hits stores September 18.

Diagnosis of Lung Cancer
]]>Main Page]]> | ]]>Risk Factors]]> | ]]>Symptoms]]> | Diagnosis | ]]>Treatment]]> | ]]>Screening]]> | ]]>Reducing Your Risk]]> | ]]>Talking to Your Doctor]]> | ]]>Living With Lung Cancer]]> | ]]>Resource Guide]]>
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history and perform a physical exam. The doctor will also ask about the following:
- Smoking history
- Exposure to environmental and occupational substances
- Family history of cancer
Diagnostic Tests
Tests may include:
- ]]>Chest x-ray]]> —an x-ray to check for abnormal areas on the lungs
- ]]>CT scan]]> —a series of x-rays put together by a computer to create images of the lung. A special spiral or helical CT scan may identify smaller tumors than a regular x-ray.
- Sputum cytology—examination of a sample of mucus from the lungs
—removal of a sample of lung tissue to be tested for cancer cells. Methods of lung biopsy include:
- ]]>Bronchoscopy]]> —a visual examination of the lungs and air passages with a bronchoscope, an instrument with a lighted tip. The doctor can remove tissue samples or wash the tissues with saline (a procedure called lavage) to obtain cells to check for cancer.
- ]]>Needle aspiration]]> —a needle is inserted through the chest to remove a sample of tissue from the tumor. This tissue is checked for cancer cells.
- ]]>Thoracentesis]]> —a needle is inserted through the chest to remove a sample of the fluid from around the lungs to check for cancer cells.
- ]]>Pulmonary function tests]]> —This series of tests is done to see how well your lungs work. This test is very important and provides your doctor with information about what kind of treatments may be appropriate for you.
Placement of Thoracentesis Needle
Staging Tests
If cancer is found, treatment will depend on the stage of your cancer. The doctor will order additional tests to determine the stage of the cancer. Staging is a careful attempt to determine whether the cancer has spread and, if it has, what body parts are affected. Additional tests to determine staging may include:
- CT scan
- ]]>MRI]]> —a test that uses magnetic waves to create detailed pictures of areas inside the body
- Bone or liver scans—tests that look for evidence of tumors. A radioactive substance is injected into the bloodstream and tracked by a scanning machine. Cancerous areas absorb more of the radioactive substance than normal tissue and show up as "hot spots."
- Mediastinoscopy—a test to check lymph nodes in the chest for cancer cells. The doctor will insert a scope into the chest to remove lymph node tissue.
Stages of Lung Cancer
]]>Lung cancer]]> staging considers three categories: tumor, lymph nodes, and metastases.
Lung Cancer Tumor (T) Stages
- Stage Tis (in situ)—The tumor is found in the sputum, but cannot be seen in the airways or the lung.
- Stage T1—The tumor is 3 cm or smaller, has not spread to the skin or pleura that surround the lungs, and is not affecting the main branches of the airways (bronchi).
Stage T2—The cancer has one or more of the following characteristics:
- It is larger than 3 cm.
- It involves the main bronchus, but is not closer than 2 cm to where the windpipe branches left and right.
- It has spread to the pleura that surround the lungs.
- It may block part of the airway and can cause some collapse of the lung, but has not caused the entire lung to collapse.
Stage T3—The cancer has one or more of the following characteristics:
- It has spread to the chest wall, diaphragm, or pleura surrounding the space between the lungs or the membranes surrounding the heart.
- It involves a main bronchus and is closer than 2 cm to where the windpipe branches left and right.
- It has grown into the airways and caused a lung to collapse or ]]>pneumonia]]> in the entire lung.
Stage T4—The cancer has one or more of the following characteristics:
- It has spread to structures inside the chest other than the lung (spinal bones, heart, esophagus, large blood vessels).
- Two or more separate tumors in the same lobe
- Cancer cells in the space surrounding the lungs
Lung Cancer Lymph Node (N) Stages
- Stage NO—The cancer has not spread to the lymph nodes.
- Stage N1—The cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the lung or the area where the bronchus meets the lung and affected the lymph nodes on the same side of the body as the cancer.
- Stage N2—The cancer has spread to the lymph nodes where the windpipe branches left and right, or to lymph nodes in the space between the chest bone and heart. The affected lymph nodes are on the same side of the body as the cancer.
- Stage N3—The cancer has spread to lymph nodes near the collarbone on either side or to the opposite side of the lung from where the lung cancer is located.
Lung Cancer Metastatic (M) Stages
- Stage MO—The cancer has not spread.
- Stage M1—The cancer has spread to other parts of the body beyond the chest, other lobes of the lung, or lymph nodes beyond those considered in the N stages.
The overall cancer stage is based on the above rankings.
|Overall Stage
|T Stage
|N Stage
|M Stage
|Stage 0
|Stage IA
|Stage IB
|Stage IIA
|Stage IIB
|Stage IIIA
|N1 or N2
|Stage IIIB
