...Because of the potential hazards involved with radiation exposure, Einstein warns patients against attempts to "get pretty pictures of their heart" without a doctor's recommendation. Otherwise, he says, the CTCA can be an excellent noninvasive alternative to the current gold standard test for heart disease, the coronary angiography, which involves threading a catheter from the groin to the heart's blood vessels, and can cause complications such as blood clots, infection and even death. CTCA is also a good substitute for the time-consuming diagnostic tests in use in emergency departments; with CTCA physicians can find out sooner when...
...Just because the quake was double the quake-resistant standard, it doesn't automatically mean a threat," says Shuji Kawahara, an earthquake safety inspection official in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's nuclear safety department.

...this point director Kasi Lemmons's Talk to Me traces a lively, if fairly standard, biopic arc - the talented, troubled performer asserting his special and winning gifts in an indifferent world.

But the course, with par fours frequently stretching in excess of 450 yds. (411 m), proved too long for the standard earthbound strategy. That was the Carnoustie challenge: how to develop a shot that wouldn't be at the mercy of the gales but could pierce right through them...
...three-quarters Chinese and one-quarter Mongolian, but due to many historical events, my family has not actually set foot in Mongolia for generations. My paternal grandfather speaks Mongolian, but he consciously never taught his children the language. He knew that the best chance for success lay in learning standard Chinese (partially due to the assimilation strategies of the Chinese government) and English, which paved the way for his children to immigrate to the United States. But this conscious divorce from our past during a time of practicality and necessity left me with scant little when I can afford...
