Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
You talk a lot about spelling dependence in shorthand theories versus writing more phonetically. Court reporters and captioners HAVE to know how to spell well, so this shouldn't really be such a big deal.
Any work product should reflect perfect spelling, of course. But there's a big difference between preparing a perfectly-spelled transcript with the aid of an English-language dictionary or a spell checker and making sure your shorthand strokes reflect correct vowel spelling while writing machine shorthand at high speeds. And there can be a huge difference between being a "good" speller—or even an "exceptional" speller—and being a "realtime" speller.
Click here to take the "Are You A Realtime Speller" challenge to see an illustration of this point.
Consider the following when deciding whether it makes sense for realtime shorthand theories to be spelling dependent:
Published reports predict the English language will reach 1 million words by the end of 2006—of which the average adult has a recognition vocabulary of approximately 30-35,000 words and a use vocabulary of only approximately 10,000 words. The fact that you recognize a word because you've heard it before doesn't necessarily mean you can spell it correctly, and the fact that you've never seen a word before probably means you can't spell it—but it shouldn't mean you can't write it in shorthand.
Is this a good theory to use if I want to go into captioning instead of court reporting?
Captioning companies want clean, accurate, fast, realtime writers who have well-developed dictionaries. Phoenix Theory places a priority on writing cleanly and accurately throughout the training program and gives the students tools to build up their ability to do so. If you've been reading about the unique Vowel-Omission Principle in Phoenix Theory then you've also seen how it simplifies steno strokes and enables the student to truly "write what you hear." With simplified responses, students have greater potential to live up to their speedbuilding potential.
The translation dictionary, though, is what gives Phoenix Theory writers an edge when it comes to captioning. Containing over 140,000 entries, and the capability to translate thousands of words more due to the many word parts that can be combined together, the translation dictionary places one in the unique position of being able to write nearly every word in Funk & Wagnall's New Collegiate Dictionary and then some. In addition, the translation dictionary contains all the entries necessary to allow the writer to take advantage of the various stroking options presented in the theory. Flexibility with great realtime translation!
Last, but not least, we make an on-going effort to stay current with needs and trends in the captioning industry and provide Phoenix Theory writers with the commands, speaker designations, and other special functions required to provide great realtime translation in this profession.
Does Phoenix Theory incorporate inflected endings onto the preceding strokes or suggest they be executed as separate strokes?
Yes, and yes. Inflected endings are incorporated onto the preceding stroke where a rule can be consistently applied and no conflict is created and we recommend executing them as a separate stroke when incorporation would create numerous potential conflicts that would then require memorization of numerous exceptions to the rule.

I hear some theories described as "stroke intensive." I assume this means they require more strokes to write some words than other theories. Is Phoenix Theory stroke intensive?
Today's realtime theories have been called stroke intensive compared to two things: StenoMaster theory and pre-computer theories.
Over the decades, national speed champions and others have strongly cautioned students and reporters attempting to increase their writing speed against excessive use of memorized briefs (one-stroke abbreviations). Conversely, the goal assigned to students by StenoMaster, as repeated throughout the theory book, is to memorize a one-stroke brief for every common word and proper name and to phrase as much as possible, making StenoMaster uniquely memory-intensive. All other theories may appear to be stroke intensive when compared to a theory so memory intensive. However, a comparison based only on the number of strokes is pretty meaningless. The complexity of the strokes (i.e., the number of keys required in a stroke and the finger positioning) is also an extremely important consideration. A memory-intensive theory with key-intensive strokes begs two questions each individual must answer for herself/himself: (1) Can you memorize briefs (one-stroke abbreviations) for 5,000 to 10,000 common words so thoroughly that you can recall them and accurately execute the correct stroke at graduation speeds of 225 wpm -- or on-the-job speeds which can be even higher? (2) Can you recall and execute one memorized complex stroke as fast as you can write two simpler automatic strokes?
It's reasonable to assume that some pre-computer theories which were modified to eliminate conflicts in order to become computer compatible are now more stroke intensive than their earlier pre-computer versions. In older theories, inflected endings (-s/-es, -ed, -ing) were always included on the end of a stroke when possible – creating numerous conflicts: e.g., guys/guise, bored/board, winning/wing, etc. In order to avoid myriad conflicts, some realtime theories require all inflected endings to be added in a separate stroke, thus making the stroking of words with inflected endings more "stroke intensive."
Some theories are also more "key intensive" than the old-time theories. They may require an asterisk to be included in every vowel + consonant word beginning (or-, en-, in-, al-, im-, ex-, etc.) or some portion of those word beginnings to distinguish them from word endings. They may require extensive use of the asterisk to distinguish other word beginnings/endings to avoid conflicts. They may require doubling of consonants, regardless of sound/spelling, in order to avoid conflicts. Some theories even require adding KWR- or SKWR- to every ending stroke beginning with a vowel. These "added" keys make the strokes more complex and increase the average keys-per-stroke ratio.
Phoenix Theory was created from its beginning as a realtime theory. Its principles allow including the vast majority of plurals on the end of the word. We do write –ed and –ing endings for root words in separate strokes but we can include the –ed and –ing endings on strokes from which the vowel has been omitted without any possibility of creating conflicts: Examples: –ered (-RD), -ering (-RG), -ers (-RZ), -ened (-PBD), -ening (-PBG), -ens (-PBZ), -eled (-LD), -ling (-LG), -les (-LZ), etc. These endings can't create conflicts and they eliminate the need for adding the inflected ending in a third stroke which may be required by other theories for a substantial number of words.
Additionally, the many shortcutting techniques used for multi-syllable word beginnings and endings actually reduce the overall stroking intensity of Phoenix Theory below that of the old pre-computer Stenograph theory! Plus, the vowel omission principle and other theory principles also reduce the average keys-per-stroke ratio below that of the old pre-computer Stenograph theory. Fewer, simpler strokes reduces likelihood of misstroking and increases potential writing speeds.
Realtime theories must certainly be much more comprehensive, precise, and disciplined than the old standard theories of yesterday. However, Phoenix Theory is proof that realtime electronic shorthand can be written with as few and as simple strokes as those "old standards."
Click here to open a document that shows the surprising results of a stroke by stroke comparison between Phoenix Theory and what is sometimes called the "baby shorthand" of one of those "old standards."
Does Phoenix Theory teach lots of briefs and phrases?
Phoenix Theory takes a balanced approach towards briefs and phrases. The theory book itself focuses on select high-frequency briefs and phrases, recommending that students add them to their writing repertoire. The steno that accompanies each exercise and the plated notes reflect the use of the briefs and phrases as we feel the ones emphasized in the theory book are extremely valuable no matter which career path the student takes. The translation dictionary contains approximately 6,000 briefs and phrases, and many of them are enumerated in the Quick Reference Guide.
The Speed Plus books introduce additional briefs and phrases, however, students are cautioned to only adopt shortcuts for words and phrases they hear often and for which they can assimilate the brief or phrase readily. Each student must determine their own personal ability to learn, retain, and use shortcuts and, like all reporters, they will find themselves able to pick up new briefs and shortcuts as needed throughout their careers.
Is Phoenix Theory 100% conflict free?
Our preference is to label Phoenix Theory as virtually conflict free. The English language changes daily and spoken English sometimes brings two unlikely words together making it impossible for any theory to realistically claim that they can write any word in the English language without conflict. The translation dictionary, with over 140,000+ entries, has no conflicts in it. All of the words from Funk & Wagnall's New Collegiate Dictionary that were included in the Reference Dictionary can be written without conflict.
What is the hardest thing for instructors to grasp when they are considering adoption of Phoenix Theory?
Because theory teachers already have knowledge of a steno theory, comparing what is already known to what is being learned about Phoenix Theory is inevitable. The teacher who picks individual outlines or principles apart before reading the entire book and coming to an understanding of how the principles work together as a whole is a teacher who might have trouble understanding, learning, and teaching Phoenix Theory.
There are three main areas where we see questions from instructors and students who already know another theory:
1. Writing vowels phonetically rather than by spelling. Examples: stroking VURS for "verse," or TUPB for "ton."
2. Application of the Vowel-Omission Principle. Most of us are familiar with short vowels, long vowels, and diphthongs. The schwa vowel sound is a new experience for most of us and takes some practice to get used to. Once you get the hang of it, though, it makes writing amazingly simple!
3. Use of the AU combination to represent both the "ah" sound found in words like "hot" and "pot" and the "aw" sound found in words like "saw" and "lawn." Click here to access a thorough explanation and a self-quiz on the question of O or AU?
4. Surprisingly, one of the hardest things we've found for instructors to grasp is the idea that help is as close as an email. We know new (and sometimes experienced) instructors have questions about various outlines and principles, or that sometimes their students pose questions that totally stump them. All you have to do is ask and we will gladly help you with your questions!
When was the translation dictionary last updated?
Version 1.7 of the Phoenix Theory translation dictionary was published in April 2006 and is available from Stenograph, L.L.C. If you already have another version of the translation dictionary, individual updates are available at www.phoenixtheory.com.
Does Phoenix Theory have graduates?
Yes, there are Phoenix Theory graduates working as realtime reporters and captioners. Phoenix Theory was beta tested in 1996 and our first two graduates were produced in 18 and 22 months respectively. Since that time numerous Phoenix Theory graduates have joined the ranks of realtime reporters, and one even captioned a portion of the Olympics in the summer of 2005. The College of Court Reporting in Hobart, Indiana recently announced their first online graduates, who also happen to be Phoenix Theory writers.
Is there any way to see a comparison of Phoenix Theory outlines to other theories?

Under Construction
Interstate 264 Concrete Project |
Norfolk |
Project at a Glance
February 2013
Est Completion Date
July 2015
$3.3 million
Curtis Contracting
Hampton Roads Public Affairs
About the Project:
In spring 2011, crews began replacing 19,000 square yards of concrete pavement on I-264 between Broad Creek Bridge and Claiborne Avenue in Norfolk. Under that contract crews were only able to complete the westbound lanes and one eastbound shoulder lane.
Crews finalized work in all westbound lanes and the right, eastbound lane only due to cost overruns which occurred because of the extensive deterioration of the concrete in the westbound lanes which occurred between advertisement of the project and construction.
A second contract was developed to complete the rest of the I-264 east lanes in this area. The contract went for bid in January 2013 and was expedited for award in February 2013 due to deteriorating conditions on I-264.
Crews are performing operations overnight and on weekends as weather permits.
Current Status
After major repairs were needed on Feb. 8, 2013, crews were called in to perform emergency concrete rehabilitation and started work immediately. Since Feb. 8, crews have been working on the permanent concrete repairs in this area overnight and on some weekends, as traffic conditions permit.

SECAUCUS – Former Mayor Dennis Elwell was arraigned today in federal court on two counts of extortion and one count of accepting corrupt payments. Elwell entered a plea of not guilty.
Elwell and political associate Ronald Manzo were among 44 political and religious leaders arrested on July 23 in an FBI sting operation. The men were indicted last month.
Federal prosecutors allege that Elwell took a $10,000 cash bribe from a witness who was cooperating with federal investigators. In exchange for the payment, the ex-mayor allegedly agreed to help the witness get a hotel built in Secaucus.
According to the indictment, Elwell and Manzo allegedly conspired with former Jersey City Housing Authority Commissioner Edward Cheatam "and others to extort cash payments from [government witness Solomon Dwek] with the promise that Elwell would help [Dwek] obtain development approvals in Secaucus."
Manzo, who was arraigned today along with Elwell, also pleaded not guilty. Manzo was indicted on the same three counts Elwell is facing, in addition to a separate charge that he accepted a "corrupt payment" of $5,000 to introduce Dwek to Elwell.
The extortion charges each carry a maximum penalty of 20 years behind bars, according to the indictment. The third offense carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.
If convicted on all three counts, Elwell could also face a maximum of $750,000 in fines. – E. Assata Wright

6-9 Demetrius Henry of Bradenton, FL has seen his season come to an end so now he's ready to move on with the final stage of his recruiting. Henry is down to USC, Miami and South Florida and will be scheduling his official visits to those schools in the next couple of weeks. Henry said USC has been in constant contact. "I'm hearing from them about three or four times a week," Henry said. "It's a good situation. Coach Martin is a great coach. He can get the best out of you. And there's the chance to play early as a freshman." Henry said the Gamecocks' poor record will have no impact on his view of them as he makes his decision. "I want to see how the schools are and how the fans are," he said. "I want to see how the people are around the school and how nice they are and if I can see myself at the school for the next four years." Henry plans to sign on the first day of the spring signing period which is April 17th. This season he averaged 17 points, 11 rebounds and 2 rebounds a game despite a sore shoulder which he plans to have checked out soon by a doctor.

Abstract: We survey the literature on the effects of public sector outsourcing. Guided by theory, we systematically arrange services according to the type and magnitude of their contractibility problems. Taken as a whole, the empirical literature indicates that public sector outsourcing generally reduces costs without hurting quality. This is clearly the case for "perfectly contractible services" like garbage collection, but outsourcing often seems to work reasonably well also for some services with more difficult contracting problems, e.g. fire protection and prisons. Outsourcing seems to be more problematic for credence goods, with residential youth care as the prime example. In contrast to previous reviews, we conclude that ownership and competition appear to be about equally important for the consequences of public sector outsourcing.

NO. FORTY-FIVE. Matrimonial advices from Utah state that Mr. Brig-ham Young has just taken a forty-fifth wife: the ac-tual number of his family not being increased, as No. 23 died the other day. This looks very little like abandoning polygamy; and it is arithmetically de-monstrable that, if a Mormon magnate is to have half a hundred wives, the "Gentile" inhabitants must, many of them, be forced to celibacy: a fate which the gen-tle reader, if he were also a Gentile and living at Salt Lake, might possibly regard as unjust, if not intoler-able. Putting moral considerations out of the ques-tion, it is evident that, as a mere matter of economical arrangement, while every man should have one wife, he is entitled to no more than one; and when somebody gets forty-five, somebody else must go without any. Whether the effect of this deprivation in Utah it to exacerbate the bachelor Gentiles, and so render them difficult to get along with, we do not know; but if the accounts which reach us from that quarter are to be credited, there is altogether more assassination going on in these parts than we should consider agreeable. These little events, our correspondent writes to us, are "of com-mon occurrence;" which must be unpleasant to those who do not receive the gospel of the late Smith. We are certainly for the largest toleration; and, as a gen-eral rule, we would have nobody persecuted for con-science' sake; but we would have a man who feels it to be a religious duty to shoot us, mildly restrained. "We wonder that Mr. Young, who is so much under the influence of lovely woman, does not grow more amiable; but we won-der still more, being a man of sense and in many re-spects of good judgment, that he does not at once abolish all the nonsense and wickedness of polygamy. It is only a question of time. The practice is doomed, sooner or later, to disappear; it is precisely what it has been so aptly termed, "a relic of barbarism;" all the sophistry in the world can make it nothing else; and, as it is not absolutely a part of the Mormon faith, but is only tolerated by that faith, and as it is totally incompatible with the best forms of civilization, we do not understand why Mr. Brigham Young does not set a good example to his neighbors by putting away forty-four of his wives, and by cleaving faithfully to the forty-fifth. The ceremony would be impressive, and furnish the subject for a grand historical picture, with twenty-two repudiated ladies upon one side, an equal number upon the other, and No. Forty-five standing side by side with the Governor in the center! The day which witnessed such a spectacle as this would be the brightest in the history of Utah! Then and then only would there begin to be something like social peace in that beautiful territory; and until then the State re-ligion, if we may call it so, will be a persecuting, in-tolerant, murdering religion, such as nobody has a right to set up and maintain in any State or Territory subject to the Constitution of the United States. As for the religion, such as it is, it must take its chances; if there be anything good in it, that good will survive; and whatever is bad ought not to survive another day. It is worse than folly to talk about conscience when con-science impels to crime or to oppression. What respect are we bound to have for the conscience which pricks on its possessor to murder, and to murder in its most shameful shape? Any rascal can plead a revelation. Any homicide can justify himself by the Divine com-mand. There is but one form of religion that is not to be tolerated in all America; and it is that which sets fanaticism above the laws, and makes private revenge a pious duty. It is not necessary to suppose the Mor-mons to be maliciously wicked, or to love bloodshed for its own sake; the mischief is done when they find in their faith an excuse for acts which the laws of all civilized nations forbid. Who knows what may come next? Who knows what altars of hideous sacrifice may be erected or what victims an unreasoning en-thusiasm may call for? Of the final result, we have no doubt. We have never seen a good defense of Polygamy—never any in fact, which was not disgraceful sophistry; and social order and happiness are so entirely dependent upon the purity of the domestic relations, that while any man in Utah has forty-five wives, and much more—while several men have that or a smaller number—we shall expect other forms of barbarism, and that oppression of the Gentiles of which all unprejudiced observers complain. If Mr. Brigham Young would but come to his senses, extirpate polygamy from his creed, be content with No. 45, and behave like a civilized citizen, we do not know a man in the country who is in a position to do more good. Should he remain incorrigible, the authority of the United States may not always be a myth, even in Utah.

Foxconn Invests USD210 Million For New Apple Production Line In Jiangsu
May 29, 2012 | Print | Comments | Category: Business, Gadgets & ElectronicsAccording to information from the Office of Taiwan Affairs of Huaian, Jiangsu province, the new Apple components production line invested by Foxconn will complete construction in the city in October 2012.
With total investments of USD210 million, the new Apple components production line covers a construction area of about 40,000 square meters. On its completion, it will provide jobs for 35,800 people and is expected to achieve annual output of between CNY6 billion and CNY7 billion.
Foxconn started building plants in Jiangsu's Huaian in 2007, and its total planned investments reached over USD2.2 billion. So far, the company has invested USD1.102 billion in the city, establishing eight enterprises with total construction areas of 1.48 million square meters and over 40,000 employees. These enterprises are mainly engaged in the production of electronic connectors, cable components, precision moulds, electronic equipment, and high-density circuit boards.
Prior to this, Foxconn announced plans to build its Chinese headquarters in Shanghai. The new headquarters is expected to be completed at the beginning of 2015, and it will include research, development, and sales units as well as its e-commerce center.

Great, more suicides in Jiangsu now, just what we need. Why doesn't Foxconn eff off back to Taiwan and enslave its own people or use robots instead of torturing and mistreating simple and good Chinese folk over here? For that matter, why doesn't Apple, Dell and HP start showing some solidarity and social responsibility and manufacture its products in the USA and Europe. All this globalization has bought nothing more than tears and anguish to jobless europeans and asian female slave workers. Time to wake up people and smell the global excrement being shoved down our throats by ruthless International Capitalists and Chinese National Socialists!

28 May - Albert Park to host Bandstand Marathon
Local musicians from Middlesbrough will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take part in the largest closing cultural event of London 2012
Local musicians from Middlesbrough will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take part in the largest closing cultural event of London 2012 on Sunday, September 9 thanks to Middlesbrough Council. Musical performances held at the Albert Park Bandstand will be one of hundreds of outdoor, community concerts taking place simultaneously across the country, making up the Bandstand Marathon.
Music of all types is welcomed. Bands, groups, choirs & individual musicians are being sought to perform, helping to make the Bandstand Marathon truly memorable and create a cultural legacy for others.
Councillor Brenda Thompson, Middlesbrough Council's Executive Member for Public Health and Sport, said: "There's a real sense of excitement now as the momentum gathers for London 2012. Middlesbrough's on the Torch Relay route and hosting an Evening Celebration event, so we're fully involved in the build-up to the Games themselves. It's great to have confirmation that we're also involved in the Bandstand Marathon as part of the cultural closing event. This will be a fantastic event in the wonderful historic setting of Albert Park, and I'm sure local bands and musicians will put on a show to remember."
There is also the opportunity for one band to have the responsibility of programming a Bandstand Marathon event for which full support & training will be given by not-for-profit arts organisation Superact and Making Music, the UK's leading organisation for voluntary music. This will give valuable experience and skills for a band or groups own future development.
Katharine Lane, Superact's Associate Director, explains: "It's not only bands who can apply for the Event Programmer role; we are welcoming interest from community groups such as Friends of the Park, not for profit organisations, charities etc. so that everyone can be part of this wonderful celebration."
Bandstand Marathon is part of the London 2012 Festival, a spectacular 12-week nationwide celebration from 21 June and running until 9 September 2012 bringing together leading artists from across the world with the very best from the UK.
For more details about getting involved, please call the Bandstand Marathon team at Superact on 01823 332413 or visit the website www.bandstandmarathon.org.uk

But Yasir Abed Rabbo, a member of the PLO's executive committee, made Clear that certain conditions would have to be met with respect to the Palestinian elections IsraeTproposes in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Rabbo spoke to reporters in Tunis just before meeting with the U.S. ambassador to Tunisia, Robert Pelletreau. Pelletreau is, the only American diplomat authorized to have official contact with the PLO; Their meeting was the third formal session in the U.S.-PLO dialogue that began Dec. 16. It was the first U.S.-PLO session since the Arab League summit meeting last month in Casablanca, Morocco, at whicb the Arab states rejected the -Israeli initiative, Rabbo said he would ask the American administration for detailed "clarifications" and said he hoped for a "statement of principles" that could help the PLO change its negative position on the election plan. The PLO's primary condition is a commitment from Washington that Israeli troops will be pulled out of the territories before the elections and that Arabs in East Jerusalem will be allowed to vote. It also wants international Agudas Achim, NCSY Receives 'Sustained Excellence1 Award . The Central East Regional Board of the National Conference of Synagogue Youth bestowed the honor of "Sustained Excellence" on the Agudas Achim Ohr Chadash NCSYChapter at -the Twenty-First Annual Regional Convention held at Camp Wise May 25-29. '. NCSY is the youth arm of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America. Through educational, cultural, social and recreational activities, NCSY enables today's Jewish youth to experience a traditional, meaningful Torah lifestyle. Agudas Achim Synagogue founded the Ohr Chadash NCSY Chapter in the fall of 1985) under the guidance of Rabbi Alan G. Ciner, and in supervision of the polling stations. Pelletreau and the PLO official held their dialogue at a government-owned guest house in Carthage, about 30 miles from Tunis. As usual, each sat at a* rectangular table; At their first meeting, nearly six months ago, the tables were placed more than three feet apart. At their second meeting on March 22, they were moved slightly closer. At the meeting last week, the tables torched. Experts are pondering the diplomatic significance, if any, of the narrowing gap. In Washington, Secretary of State James Baker said that the United States "got into a fair amount of sub- the spring of 1988, the chapter was recognized as the Chapter of the Year.

Agudas Achim Ohr Chadash has become one of the largest NCSY, Chapters in the «ntire Central East Regiona. "Its extensive programming has produced youth involvement and participation in activities which make Judaism relevant to their lives," noted Rabbi Ciner.

The talks dealt with "serious and practical ways that we might progress, in a step- by-step fashion, toward the goal of a comprehensive settlement, through negotiations based, of course, On U.N.

Baker, answering questions after a luncheon ad^ dress to the National Press Club, stressed that the U.S. dialogue with the PLO "should not be and cannot be, as far as we are concerned, an end in and of itself.

Thomas Foley (D- Wash.), -who was elected speaker of the U.S.House of' Representatives last week, is considered a good friend of Israel and supporter of issues of concern to the Jewish community. Foley was named by the House to replace Rep. Jim Wright (D-Texas), who resigned as speaker after being charged with ethics violations. The 60-year-old congressman from Spokane was majority leader during the little more than two years Wright was speaker. He is highly respected by both Democrats and Republicans and is known as a conciliator and consensus-builder.7 "We are pleased that he has been elected as speaker of the House," said Jess Hordes, director of the (CONTINUED ON PAGE 5) Confirmation Services Held At Tifereth Israel On June 9 Confirmation services were held in honor of^tenth grade students of the Tifereth Israel Hebrew High School at Shavuot services on Friday evening, June 9.

Leveraging Your NSF Certification: Now that you've received NSF Certification ... why not leverage the Mark to your advantage.
The NSF Certification program for wastewater treatment units originated over thirty years ago at the request of the regulatory community. It was at this time that the alternative, onsite, residential wastewater treatment industry began to grow, serving the demand for effective, onsite treatment.
Today, alternative technologies are being used throughout the world to address the growing constraints of municipal treatment applications in rural areas and the growing residential population in environmentally sensitive regions. As the industry has grown, so too has the NSF Certification program.

Exams and TestsOnly 10% of people with renal cell cancer have the classic specific symptoms, such as blood in the urine, or a lump or pain in the side. Other people have only vague, nonspecific symptoms, such as fatigue or just not feeling well. Still others have no symptoms at all. A health care provider will gather many different types of information to make a diagnosis. This process includes ruling out conditions that cause similar symptoms. If urinary symptoms occur, referral to a urologist (a doctor who specializes in diseases of the urinary tract) may be necessary. The following steps may be taken for a health care provider to make a correct diagnosis:
Imaging studies A number of imaging studies are used to evaluate and stage renal masses.
Lab tests The following lab tests are performed to look for paraneoplastic syndromes, to rule out other conditions, and to evaluate a person's overall health before beginning treatment.

Titled 'Economic Relations Between Italy and the Mediterranean', the SRM 2012 report presented in Naples on Tuesday showed Italy posted trading volume of 57.7 billion euros, ahead of Germany (56.6 billion euros) and France (46.8 billion euros). Italy's north-western regions had a higher trading volume (18.1 billion euros) than its southern regions (12.7 billion euros). The lower number in the south was due to the breakdown of energy trade with Libya in 2011, the report said.
''This report proves that the Mediterranean is and will continue to be highly relevant to our country's economic relations, and to those of our southern regions in particular,'' SRM President Paolo Scudieri explained. ''Of course economic and political uncertainties and difficulties persist, in Europe as in Mediterranean countries.'' Scudieri also pointed out that southern Med consumers are just as savvy and demanding as those elsewhere.
''There are an estimated 400 million consumers in that area, and they want technologically consolidated products, that are the same as those available on markets all over the world: we must remember that globalization makes consumers uniform,'' Scudieri said. ''Companies must think in terms of a product's appeal, and it must be more technologically evolved than traditional ones.'' Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries are now being seen not only as a market, but in terms of economic integration.
However the EU has not been doing enough to speed up that process, according to SRM experts.
''Significant EU financial investments would be needed, but they have been treading too lightly,'' said Banco di Napoli CEO Giuseppe Castagna. ''They should repeat what was done after 1989 to integrate Eastern European countries.'' The 2012 report, explained SRM chief Massimo Deandreis, ''is the beginning of a long-term research project, centering on analyzing the type and presence of Italian businesses in area countries, beginning with Turkey.'' That country, says the 2012 report, is Italy's prime trading partner south of the Mediterranean: 900 Italian companies operate in Turkey, with turnover of more than 16 billion euros and 125,000 employees.

Classifying is a first-level analytical initiative, a rudimentary tool for the intellect to understand its environment. Efforts to classify diseases were predated by the attempt to understand and statistically report the causes of death in the Seventeenth Century. These efforts continued in various forms through the work of the International Statistical Institute culminating in the 1893 adoption of the International List of Causes of Death. Healthcare experts then recognized the value in developing standard nomenclature to describe nonfatal diseases, and a parallel list was adopted in 1909. In 1910, the U.S. Department of Commerce translated the second revision of the list into the International Classification of Causes of Sickness and Death.
In 1948, the World Health Assembly adopted the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) for the sixth revision. The seventh and eighth revisions of the newly named International Classification of Diseases (ICD) occurred in 1955 and 1965, the decade ICD was used increasingly for indexing hospital medical records. The ICD-9 code set was adopted in 1975 and implemented in 1979.
Identifying and classifying disease has been an important discipline underlying the growth of science. The ability to isolate variables is essential to differentiating, diagnosing, understanding and treating disease on both an individual and a population basis. It has been more than 30 years since the last update; the conversion is long overdue.
ICD-10 was first adopted by WHO in 1990 and came into use internationally in 1994. The United States is the last major international participant to make this conversion. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) adopted ICD-10, which has been continuously revised by WHO since 1994, in January 2009 and published the code set for use in the United States as ICD-10-CM (Clinical Modification) for diagnosis coding and ICD-10-PCS (Procedure Code Set) for inpatient hospital procedure coding. ICD-10-CM or ICD-10-PCS/CM can be used to refer to both code sets.
ICD-10-CM is maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics. ICD-10-PCS is maintained by CMS.
Physicians will not bill for their services under ICD-10, continuing rather to use the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code set.

WASHINGTON — Rising food costs and higher rents offset a drop in gas prices last month, leaving consumer prices only slightly higher in October compared with the previous month.
The consumer price index rose a seasonally adjusted 0.1 percent in October, down from sharp gains of 0.6 percent in the previous two months, the Labor Department said Thursday. In the past year, prices increased 2.2 percent. That's just above the Federal Reserve's inflation target of 2 percent.
The cost of shelter, which includes rents, rose 0.3 percent, the most in more than four years. Clothes and airline fares also rose, while the price of new and used cars fell.
Food prices rose 0.2 percent, while gas fell 0.6 percent. Excluding the volatile food and gas categories, core prices increased 0.2 percent.
Modest inflation leaves consumers with more money to spend, which can boost economic growth. Lower inflation makes it easier for the Fed to continue with its efforts to rekindle the economy. If the Fed were worried that prices are rising too fast, it might have to raise interest rates.
Gas prices rose sharply over the summer and into September, but have since come down. The average price for a gallon of gas nationwide was $3.44 on Wednesday, about 35 cents below last month's level.
Most economists forecast that food prices rose last month. This summer's drought damaged corn, soybeans and other crops. Corn and soybeans are used in animal feed, which means the price of meat and chicken could increase.
And corn is also used in many products found throughout the supermarket, from cereals to soft drinks to cosmetics.

MORNING IN KAIKOURA greeted us with a crystal blue sky and a Pacific Ocean mirroring the natural features of the rugged, seal-covered east coast. But enough of all that. We've all been impressed with what Mother Nature has given New Zealand and have each individually experienced "moments" of sublime land-lust. Our little pacific nation really does rock.
Our community project was to help at an innovative recycling centre. Here we were to help process the unwanted "resources" of the festive season. Everything from long forgotten furniture to day-to-day waste ends up at this community-focused trust. It performs way beyond its relatively modest size by successfully recycling about 65 per cent of all that comes through the gate. Projects like this are fundamental to enhancing our clean and green image and ensuring that a healthy natural environment is preserved for future generations – one of the most important features of living in God-zone. We were proud to be able to help out.
The trust also dedicates a significant amount of time to helping up-skill lout of work locals and at risk youth. They're winning the battle though and helping to contribute to the record levels of employment nationwide – 96.2 per cent of Kiwis are in paid work – the highest number since records began.
To show our appreciation for the endeavours of this hard working band of recycling brothers and sisters, we purchased a Pohutokawa in the name of young New Zealanders and Young Labour. It's part of a project called "Trees for travelers" (www.treesfortravelers.co.nz) that gives tourists the opportunity to buy a tree to be planted locally and thus, the chance to give something back to the area before they leave. Our tree will be planed on reserve land and be left to grow and mature over coming decades. We can even check its progress online! Perhaps it will be visited in 50 years time by future Clarions on similar tours to ours.
The drive to Christchurch was always going to be a slog. Knoxy's gearbox has been playing up, refusing to change smoothly from second to third and making "cruising" a little haphazard. But that wouldn't be the only thing fate was to hurl at us. The impressive countryside had distracted us enough to let our normally razor-sharp fuel gauge watch momentarily lapse.
As embarrassing as it is to confess, to we ran out of fuel one kilometre from Amberley. Diesel engines are temperamental little beasts and we all held our breath as Kirsten (pictured) from the local Shell service station rushed to our aid. Priming the engine can take a little time, but whiz-kid Daz (our rebellious driver) managed what seemed like the impossible and got Knoxy's turbo-charged 6 cylindered motor pumping again in a jiffy.
Still, the pressure on the increasing fragile Jacinda (game set and match, Rob) our loyal VP and camp mother, had clearly taken its toll. A coup d'etat was being organised and with the support of a majority of the clarion caucus, Jacinda was advised of her excommunication and told to leave the tour by the next morning. In all seriousness, it was work that dragged our beloved leader back to reality. Whilst we will miss her physical presence her spirit will live on within us all, providing nutritious energy and driving ambition. Engine problems or not, this tour will be finished and our determination to do so hasn't waned.
Rubbish kicked our day off and rubbish ended our day too. The evening's community project was a cleanup of Sumner beach courtesy of Yani Johanson and the Keep New Zealand Beautiful Trust. From there it was off to Di's house before dinner with Tim Barnett at the wonderful Ironside Thai Restaurant in Christchurch. We did our best to fluster the staff with spilt coffees, emergency evacuations, and changing orders, but they were more than up to the challenge.

Baseball Card and Sports Cards collecting tips: A key thing to remember when building your baseball card and other sports cards collections is that the condition of the baseball card, football card, or other sports cards is very important to it's value and the selling price. Baseball cards in lower condition bring far less than those same baseball cards in top shape. Make sure to protect your sports cards with the proper card supplies every time. If you ever think of selling baseball cards, football cards, or other sports cards your top condition cards will always get better prices than sports cards that are not in top condition regardless if they are old or new when you put them up for sale.
There is no right or wrong baseball cards to collect. Many people like Topps baseball cards or Upper Deck baseball cards but there have been many manufacturers over the years and even the ones that are no longer in business anymore like Fleer or Pinnacle are collected by many. Some buy only new sports cards while other buy only old baseball cards. Price, value or what a price guide says a sports card is worth should not be the only or even the main factor in what you buy. The way to have the most fun with the hobby is to collect what you like and how you like and not what someone else says they think you should.
Many hobbiests like to buy baseball cards by the pack or box and get a thrill out of hitting their favorite player or that hard to find card insert, autograph or relic card. Others like to collect baseball card team sets or cards of their home town players and yet others buy factory sets or build sets by hand. Collecting baseball cards, football cards, basketball cards, or any other types of sports trading cards can be a life long hobby that's fun for the whole family. So above all enjoy your hobby.

Peroxidase activity of annexin 1 from Arabidopsis thaliana
Biochem Biophys Res Commun 336(3):8 (2005) PMID 16153598
On the basis of earlier reports suggesting that annexin A1 from Arabidopsis thaliana (AnnAt1) participates in limiting the excessive levels of reactive oxygen species during oxidative burst in plants, we examined the sensitivity of recombinant AnnAt1 to hydrogen peroxide and its peroxidase activity. Purified recombinant protein remains mostly @a-helical and binds to lipids in a calcium-dependent manner. Upon oxidation recombinant AnnAt1 exhibits a tendency to form dimers in vitro. AnnAt1 is also sensitive to the presence of reducing agents, suggesting that AnnAt1 is a redox sensor in plant cells. Moreover, using two independent methods we found that AnnAt1 displayed peroxidase activity which is probably related to the presence of a heme-binding domain within AnnAt1, as present in other peroxidases. Indeed, site-directed mutagenesis within this domain resulted in a complete abrogation of the activity of AnnAt1. Furthermore, this activity was found to be sensitive to the phosphorylation state of the protein.

GINGRICH: "Newt Gingrich has promised to run a positive presidential campaign. That, apparently, does not extend to comments about certain states," the Boston Globe writes. " 'We're thinking of having a Massachusetts rally at some point in New Hampshire, sort of a please don't turn America into Massachusetts,' the former House speaker told around 125 people at the Radisson Hotel. Gingrich explained to reporters later that Massachusetts, the home state of archrival Mitt Romney, is 'a very expensive state with a very liberal political culture.'"
On FOX, Gingrich said of the pro-Romney Super PAC hitting him with negative ads: "I think he wants to run a campaign where he pretends to be positive while all of the dirty work is done by his former staffers. I don't think the people of Iowa are that dumb."
HUNTSMAN: He played keyboard on Letterman last night.
PAUL: Here come the Paul attacks now with his front-runner status in Iowa. GOP 12 posts a clip of him appearing to sympathize with 9/11 truthers.
The Wall Street Journal's Rabinowitz compares Ron Paul to Jeremiah Wright. "The school, for instance, of Barack Obama's former minister famed for his 'God d— America' sermons: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, for whom, as for Dr. Paul, the 9/11 terror assault was only a case of victims seeking justice, of 'America's chickens coming home to roost'.'" (Hat tip: GOP 12).
Matt Lewis writes: "Why a vote for Ron Paul in Iowa is a vote for Mitt Romney."
"On Wednesday, CNN's Gloria Borger pressed Ron Paul over old newsletters that were published in his name and contained racist material in the 1990's," GOP 12 writes. "He didn't like it, he walked out, the cameras got it."
ROMNEY: "Mitt Romney rounded out a day-long bus tour around New Hampshire with a stop here in this bellwether town, where he dished out buttered spaghetti to dozens of invited guests, and parried with a 22-year-old resident about whether the United States should apologize for its actions abroad," the Boston Globe writes. Romney first said, "I'm sure there are times when…" and then went on to again accuse President Obama of going on an "apology tour" around the world.

Pass it by. I frequently buy my gas here but no more. I stopped in yesterday. Filled my gas tank, bought 4 items inside. After paying with cash, I asked the attendant if I could have change for a $20. Very rudely,he said no, he needed his change. Period. I walked to my car then turned around and went back inside and returned the 4 items I had purchased. If I could have returned my gasoline, I would have. If the guy would have been polite about the change I would have understood. Oh, it was 3:00 in the afternoon when the school kids stop and buy their junk food. I am quite sure he had plenty of change for a $20.

I believe about everyone in the hobby has seen the picture of a breach failure of a Indian made musket. If you have not, google around. That said, are all Indian muskets bad?
I have read and heard so many negitive things written and said about Indian weapons, but I have yet to hear about anyone weapon or source. I do not like to paint a broad brush and love to hear from owners or former owners of thier experiances. REAL information, and not just hearsay. I'll start with mine. (disclaimer, this is not a promotion, just my experiance with one Indian weapon)
I own one Indian weapon. A 1842 Springfield reproduction sold to me by Veteran Arms LLC. It has been a stout weapon, and had only one problem. Where the hammer was attached, the corner had been rounded, so that the hammer slipped a inch. In other words it had some give. Didn't effect the fire, but it might with time cause a problem in the cocking of said weapon. Charles of Veteran Arms, fixed this problem free of charge, which is a big plus in my book. The weapon has been a real shooter, and I have no fear live firing buck and ball with it. It was field proofed at Veteran Arms before shipping. I defarbed the stock, and it looks "fairly" accurate to a original I once owned.
That said, what have been your experiances. I sure there are some real dogs out there, if so where did you get them. I believe sharing the knowlege instead of just running down all Indian weapons would better serve the reenactor.

As a rotating medical student, you will have the opportunity to work and learn in one of the busiest emergency departments in the country. Many of our patients are medically complicated, which provides excellent training for medical students, as well as our residents. The patient population at Maimonides represents one of the most culturally diverse populations in New York City.
In other words, you will be busy, you will be challenged, and we expect you to be very much involved! Clinically, you will participate in the complex resuscitations and procedures we perform every day. To augment your experience, we have a young and dynamic attending staff who are accessible and interested in teaching. In addition, you will be given Didactic lectures and Simulation cases on a weekly basis.
If you are strongly considering emergency medicine as a career, please let us know as soon as possible. Your performance--based on your clinical evaluations, an oral presentation, and final exam score--will determine whether you are interviewed and ultimately placed on our Match list. That being said, I hope and expect you to have a rich academic experience which will push you and enable you to have fun.
Please contact either me or Ms. Angela Antonopoulos, email@example.com, to arrange for a rotation with us.
In addition, we also offer a rotation in Ultrasound in Emergency Medicine. Please contact me for further details.

Yes, Innespace is currently selling custom built versions of the Seabreacher for public sale. Each vessel is built to order. No production units are available for immediate purchase.
Price is different for each model, and is primarily dependent on the available options chosen as this adds to the base price. We have an extensive list of options available, and because each Seabreacher is custom built to order, we can accomodate almost any special requests, from intricate airbrushed paint schemes to personalized interior treatments.
Unfortunately not, but the total is broken up into three stage payments throughout the course of production. Our terms are typically an initial US$ 30,000 to commence construction, then another US$ 30,000 upon engine installation and operational controls, and the remaining balance upon completion and acceptance trial (prior to shipping).
Innespace is not currently offering exclusive distribution rights for any countries or regions. However, we are now appointing a few authorized distributors in select locations throughout the world. These distributors will provide sales and servicing support to Seabreacher customers in their specific teritory, as well as offer demonstration rides for prospective customers. Exclusive distribution rights may be offered after the initial trial distribution period.
About 5 feet for brief durations but generally they go just a few feet below the surface in order to keep the snorkel above the water.
40 mph on the surface, and up to 20mph under water. The X model is capable of 50mph on the surface and up to 25mph under water!
It is surprisingly quick to pick up the basic operation of the Seabreacher and learn to navigate on the surface. Prolonged dives and other tricks take a little longer to master, but most pilots are proficient in a couple of days.
Because the Seabreacher is positively buoyant, it needs speed in order to dive, which means the engine needs to be running, and the engine needs fresh air to breathe. The moment you dive too deep, the engine's air supply is cut off and the engine immediately loses power; therefore, it pops back to the surface. Sometimes it will pop up backwards if you try and dive too deep and too steep.
No, the hull is constructed with enough flotation that it will always remain buoyant and level, even if the cockpit and engine bay are fully flooded. The water level in the cockpit would not exceed mid-waist level in such a situation, so water could be easily pumped out and the vessel refloated.
Yes, there are handles and emergency pull pins on both the outside and inside of the boat so it can always be opened.
Yes, if the canopy is open it is possible to capsize the vessel, but it's very stable and will self right. The Seabreacher can be rolled over as much as you'd like with the canopy closed, but can only roll 30 degrees with the canopy open.
They have been designed to operarate in salt water as well as fresh water and are designed to handle moderate ocean conditions. We do not recommend that novice operators operate them in surf or rough ocean conditions.
They can be launched at regular boat ramps from an optional custom-built trailer with no more difficulty than launching a conventional boat.
The cockpit and engine bay are kept 100% watertight with the aid of inflatable aircraft seals. If the pilot forgets to inflate the seals, there can be minor leaks, but any water in the boat is automatically pumped out via the automatic bilge pumps.
The ride can be as mild or wild as you wish. An experienced pilot can give passengers a scary ride if that's what they're looking for. Most people find the cockpit to be surprisingly open feeling due to the large panoramic canopy and view ports. If a pilot or passenger feels claustrophobic, it is possible to operate the Seabreacher at full speed on the surface with the canopy in its open position.
We strongly recommend that a support boat is present whenever you operate a Seabreacher. This is not as much for the Seabreacher but more to help keep other boaters or water users from coming too close to the vessel when it is operating. We also recommend having radio communication between the vessel and chase boat as an added precaution. We continue to use a support boat every time we go out, even after ten years of operation.
Both the Seabreacher J (Recreational model) and Seabreacher X (extreme version) are approved for recreational boating and had been granted exemption from certain safety standards due to its unique configuration. They have the exact same classification as a conventional Jetski or Seadoo, and can be easily registered in most states. The Seabreacher ARL (racing version) will be sanctioned by the APBA in its own special events class, but is not approved for recreational public use.
No, but a good understanding of boat operation and safety is recommended. We offer comprehensive training to any customer who purchases a custom built Seabreacher.
Yes, they can be registered as a conventional inboard boat and we can help you with finding insurance coverage for your Seabreacher.
Yes, we have built and delivered Seabreachers as far away as Korea, the Caribbean, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Shipping cost estimates are available upon request.
A Seabreacher and trailer fit inside a standard 20 foot shipping container, Shipping cost is typically between US$3000 and US$6000. We can provide you with a more accurate shipping quote to most destinations.
Once you've purchased your own Seabreacher, you will be invited to participate in club racing events that will begin in 2010 here in th US. Racing will be available to both Seabreacher J and X models. Participants will be encouraged to seek their own sponsors and modify their vessels for competitive use.
There are many ways in which you can profit from owning a Seabreacher due to their unique nature and mass appeal. Like us, you can perform media demonstrations, attend shows and events, gain corporate sponsorship, and even lease your vessel out for film and commercial work. We can help provide you with some of these opportunities. Soon, we expect to see Seabreacher Rental and Training operations pop up throughout the world, as well as sanctioned racing events. All these operations, will provide a good source of revenue from owning a Seabreacher.
Not at this stage, but many of our customers have expressed interest in starting Seabreacher rental operations, so there may be a Seabreacher rental facility near you in the upcoming future.
