Uzumaki Naruto
Naruto was born the son of Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, and Kushina Uzumaki. Before his birth they had decided to name him after the main character in Jiraiya's first book, hoping their son would be as great a ninja as the character (who was based on Jiraiya and Nagato) was. This made Jiraiya Naruto's godfather. Soon after his birth, however, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked the village of Konohagakure. To save the village Minato sealed the fox into Naruto's body, believing his son would someday have use of it. Minato died afterwards, leaving Naruto to grow up knowing nothing of his parents. He received his mother's last name since Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, felt that it was best that nobody knows he was related to the Fourth Hokage.
Before Minato died he asked that the villagers of Konoha to view Naruto as a hero who had helped to stop the demon fox. Few did as he asked, instead of openly resenting him for containing the monster that had destroyed their home. In light of this, the Third Hokage made a decree that nobody should ever speak of the demon fox sealed within Naruto, hoping that their children would not resent him as they did. The children, however, followed their parents' lead, not knowing why. Naruto was forced to live confused over why the villagers hated him so and strived to win their recognition. Iruka Umino would be one of the few exceptions, who was always compassionate to Naruto's plight. For this, Naruto came to view Iruka as the father-figure he never had.
Personality: Before graduating from the Academy, Naruto had a craving for acknowledgment. He would play pranks all around the village in an attempt to be recognized by its inhabitants. He would also tell everyone who doubted him on a near-constant basis that he would one day become Hokage. As he tells Iruka, he wishes to achieve this rank in order to be recognized by those around him, and to have the responsibility of defending them. Even after graduating, Naruto is still determined to be recognized, and becomes the "Number One Loudest, Unpredictable, Hyperactive Knuckleheaded Ninja" of Konoha, as described by Kakashi Hatake. As the series progresses with Naruto makes more and more connections with others, his reasons for wanting to become Hokage undergoes a change, having less to do with the desire for recognition, and more to do with wanting the strength to protect his home and the people close to him.
Naruto's exuberant personality and fiery desire for self-improvement strongly impacts the lives of those around him. At the beginning of the series, Naruto befriends Konohamaru Sarutobi, the grandson of the Third Hokage, and it is through his brief tutelage that Konohamaru learns that the path to success is through plenty of hard work. Kakashi describes this as Naruto's "unique power," as he seems to change the world views of everyone he meets and inspires courage for the future within them. This is most prominently shown when Naruto earns the trust of Nagato, the leader of Akatsuki and one of the main antagonists of the series.
Naruto is relatively naive, being slow to understand jutsu principles and often requiring a dumbed-down analogy in order to grasp what is being explained to him. This assumes he is able to keep his attention long enough, as he commonly seeks to change the subject in light of his ignorance, outwardly insisting that he already gets the concept. Though he retains this confidence in himself to great degrees, loudly proclaiming that he will master whatever technique he is learning in a fraction of the usual time, he will not hesitate to ask for help if he needs it.
As an extension of his naivety, Naruto has a number of childish traits. His pajamas always include a comical black nightcap with eyes and teeth, and he keeps his money in a chubby, green-frog wallet he affectionately calls "Gama-chan." He almost exclusively eats ramen, and is a frequent customer at the Ichiraku Ramen Bar. He has a natural affinity for perverted ideas and jutsu, something he tends to be reprimanded for by Sakura and that is only brought to new levels after meeting Jiraiya. He also smiles near-constantly, which during his childhood was to mask the sadness of his lonely life. Those who are closest to him are able to recognize when his smile isn't genuine.
When the situation calls for it, typically when someone dear to him is in trouble, Naruto can be very serious and will instantly come to their aid. This is most commonly seen in the series through his interactions with his teammates, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. With Sasuke, Naruto views him as a brother and throughout Part II strives to bring him back to Konoha despite his defection from the village. With Sakura, Naruto has a long-standing crush on her, and will do all in his power to make her happy, even if it is at the expense of his own happiness. Recently, Hinata Hyuga has confessed her love for Naruto. He was greatly angered when she was seemingly fatally wounded afterward and was relieved to hear that she had survived, but it is unclear whether he now has feelings for her.
Personality: Jiraiya grew up in the village of Konohagakure under the tutelage of the Third Hokage. As he grew older Jiraiya and his two teammates, Orochimaru and Tsunade, collectively became known as the "Legendary Three Ninja" (伝説の三忍 Densetsu no Sannin?) owing to their exemplary ninja abilities.[3] The rank of sannin was given to them by the legendary Hanzou the Salamander after only the three of them survived Hanzou's powers out of battling a legion of Konoha Shinobi at Naruto Chapter 369. For most of his adult life, and thus many of his appearances in the series, Jiraiya periodically leaves his hometown to explore the Naruto world. Although he spends comparatively little time in Konoha (the leaf village), Jiraiya maintains deep loyalty to the village; soon after his introduction, he makes clear his intentions to kill Tsunade if she should ever turn against Konoha despite their history together.[4] Throughout the series Jiraiya's talents and dedication to the village lead to him being offered the position of Hokage, Konoha's protector and leader. Because of his perceived weaknesses (his inability to keep Orochimaru from becoming a criminal and his failure to protect his teacher and his student from dying in their own tenure as Hokage) Jiraiya always declines the offer, feeling that he is unworthy of the responsibility.[5]
During many of his appearances he makes at least one attempt to either woo women or spy on them while they bathe in the hot springs. While Jiraiya makes no attempt to hide these habits, going so far as to brag about his talents with voyeurism,[6] he gets irritated whenever series protagonist Naruto Uzumaki affectionately calls him "Pervy Sage" (エロ仙人 Ero-sennin?). His interest in women has on occasion been his downfall; sometime in the past he tried spying on Tsunade, and was nearly fatally wounded when she caught him in the act. However, he has been able to use his peeping jutsu to good use during reconnaissance and stealth missions, like his entrance into Pain's village[7] Jiraiya's experiences in love, particularly those with Tsunade, are recorded in his Make Out (イチャイチャ Icha Icha?) series of novels. The books, a favorite of Kakashi Hatake, are runaway best-sellers within the Naruto world and have earned Jiraiya vast wealth.[8] Before penning the Make Out series Jiraiya published an "autobiography" where the main character was named "Naruto." Despite the book's poor sales Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya's student, named his son after the main character in the hopes that he would grow up to be just like the Naruto in the book, subsequently naming Jiraiya Naruto's godfather.[5]
Abilities: Across the Naruto world Jiraiya is known as the "Toad Sage" (蝦蟇仙人 Gama Sennin?). Having been trained by toads to utilize their secret arts, Jiraiya can summon them to his side as allies during battle.[9] If need be, he can also summon parts of toads, on one occasion blanketing an area with a toad's esophagus to immobilize and trap an opponent.[10] In the second half of the series, around the time of his death, Jiraiya is shown to possess a number of toad-based abilities not wholly reliant on summoning. Most prominent of these is being able to enter "Sage Mode" (仙人モード Sennin mōdo?), a transformation that drastically increases his physical abilities and the strength of his attacks. Despite the advantages the form allows him, he does not like entering Sage Mode; the transformation gives him a bulbous nose, webbed hands, and a number of warts, all of which make him unappealing to girls.[11] While toads make up the bulk of his ninja abilities, Jiraiya displays a variety of miscellaneous talents throughout the series. He can breathe fire, create swamps to immobilize enemies, and grow and sharpen his hair for both offensive and defensive purposes.[12] He was taught how to use the Rasengan by Minato, which Jiraiya in turn teaches to Minato's son, Uzumaki Naruto, shortly after his introduction.[8] At various times in the series Jiraiya has been shown to be knowledgeable with seals. This expertise most commonly comes to light in relation to the nine-tailed demon fox sealed within Naruto's body, a force Jiraiya constantly tries to help Naruto gain control of.[9] Though he usually doesn't show it, he is also skilled at hand-to-hand combat.
Kakashi Hatake
Kakashi is the son of the genius ninja, Sakumo Hatake who had respect on par with the Sannin. Like his father, Kakashi has been known since a young age as an extremely gifted ninja, regarded by many as the best of his generation. He received top marks and showed an innate aptitude for the ninja arts while in the academy. This allowed him to graduate from it in a single year at the top of his class at the age of 5, and then become a Chunin a year later. However, his success came at a great loss; his mother died when he was still very young. His father sometime after fell into disgrace after choosing to save his comrades rather than complete an important mission, causing Konohagakure to suffer in the war effort. Dishonored, Sakumo committed suicide after deep depression and a drop in his skills, which caused Kakashi to lead his life strictly by the ninja code. Kakashi was teamed with Obito Uchiha and Rin under the leadership of Minato Namikaze. Kakashi's relationship with Obito and Rin was very much similar to that ofSasuke's relationship with Naruto and Sakura respectively as he was the indifferent genius who shared a complicated relationship with his teammates that later developed into a close friendship.
See also: Kakashi GaidenSoon after becoming a Jonin (age 13 at the time), Kakashi was assigned to lead Rin and Obito on a mission that would benefit Konoha in the ongoing Third Great Shinobi War. They were to destroy a bridge being used by Iwagakure forces to move into Kusagakure. Along the way, Kakashi's team was ambushed by an Iwagakure ninja. Kakashi saw this as a good opportunity to use his newly created jutsu, the Chidori, only to nearly be struck down by the original's counterattack.
On their way to the bridge Rin was kidnapped. Obito immediately stated his intention to rescue her, but Kakashi disagreed on the basis that they needed to complete their mission, opting not make the same mistake his father did. Before leaving to save Rin, Obito then states that Sakumo made the right decision. Shortly after parting ways Kakashi, he reflected on Obito's words and Rin's prior kindness, he realized that his father wasn't wrong after all. This prompted him to rejoin Obito in the rescue effort.
In the ensuing battle, Kakashi's left eye is damaged by Taiseki. Obito awakens his Sharingan in order to kill Taiseki and save Kakashi, allowing them to proceed onto Rin. Once they locate and free her the three are trapped in an enemy cave-in. Obito pushes Kakashi out of the way of a falling boulder but is crushed himself. Unable to free himself, Obito asks Rin, amedical-nin, to give his Sharingan eye to Kakashi as a gift to replace his damaged one. She complies and after the procedure Kakashi is able to use the Sharingan to perfect his Chidori and kill the remaining enemy ninja. He returns to see if there is anything he can do for Obito, but the cave continues to collapse and Kakashi and Rin are forced to leave him behind and escape. With the help of Minato they complete their mission, allowing them to mourn Obito's death. His reputation was widely increased thanks to his success from the first mission he performed as a Jonin and later increased even further from word of him acquiring the Sharingan and amount of copied jutsu (hence his nickname). Kakashi eventually joined the Konohagakure ANBU where he served as a squad leader. During this time, Kakashi rose to fame as Konoha's Copy Ninja (sometimes known as Sharingan Kakashi), a nickname he earned due to use of his Sharingan eye. He cultivated a group of students that included Yugao Uzuki and Tenzo, and recognized the latter as the most successful of this group. He later left for unknown reasons, but maintains strong connections with the ANBU and still wears the characteristic iron guards on his gloves.
Personality: Obito's death had a huge impact on Kakashi's personality. At the start of the series, Kakashi was characterized as carefree and laid back. He rarely shows any excitement towards anything in his daily life. Even when he gave Team 7 their final exam, he showed more interest in his book than how each of his potential students performed. Like Shino Aburame, Kakashi has a rather solitary and matter-of-fact attitude. His calm and detached demeanor has been called "cool, hip, and trendy" many times by Might Guy. Despite his increasingly growing reputation and prowess as a ninja, Kakashi shows no arrogance; rather is very modest about his abilities. His naturally calm attitude is used to his advantage in battle as it is easier for him to maintain his composure to stay focused on the situation at hand and ultimately notice everything around him. Through this, he can make keen and thought-out decisions allowing him to stay steps ahead of his opponents. Kakashi is a fan of the Make-Out series of novels implying that he is slightly perverted. He is typically seen reading one of the books when not involved in a fight, making it the only of one (of his reportedly many) hobbies that is ever seen in the series. Despite his fondness for the books, he grows uncomfortable when reading passages to others, presumably embarrassed by the adult content. Naruto has on one occasion used these books against Kakashi, threatening to spoil the ending of the latest installment to force Kakashi to let down his guard (by shutting his eyes and ears) to prevent learning about the ending.
Despite his nature in everyday life, he has shown to be a very responsible and dedicated man when it matters. As he learned from Obito, Kakashi knows what it means to have devotion to what is important in life; people he cares for. He does everything in his power to protect his village and allies. Even his signature jutsu, the Lightning Blade, was made on the principle of duty and perfected on the principle of protecting loved ones. He places their safety over the successful completion of a mission. Kakashi used this belief when deciding whether or not to take on a Genin team, requiring that the Genin work together instead of doing as he told them. He is also regularly late for appointments. This is because of his frequent visits to the memorial where Obito's name is engraved, where he loses track of time.
Kakashi has an ongoing, albeit one-sided, rivalry with Might Guy. In trying to prove himself superior to Kakashi, Guy challenges him to competitions of questionable value ranging from Rock, Paper, Scissors to running races. Guy has a record of 50 wins to 49 loses, which he is particularly proud of. Kakashi shows little interest in their competitions, which only further inspires Guy to defeat Kakashi and his "coolness".
Naruto & The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox
As the host of the demon fox, both Naruto's mind and body are occasionally influenced by it. Physically, Naruto has some of the demon fox's characteristics, such as whisker-like marks on his cheeks and larger than normal canines. He also has increased stamina and healing ability, which allows him to recover from major injuries within a day and minor injuries within a few seconds. Mentally, Naruto remains largely unaffected, save for a few animalistic traits that slip through, such as his occasional tendency to leap between trees on all fours. Since the demon fox was sealed inside Naruto at birth, it is unclear just what parts of his personality it has had an effect on; however, it could explain Naruto's impish side for pulling pranks to gain attention, as well as his stubbornness to never back down from a challenge.
Naruto's normal chakra level is considered extremely high, partially because of the demon fox. Even without directly drawing upon it, a small amount of the demon fox's chakra is always mixed with his own. His body instinctively rejects the bulk of it due to the damage it would cause. Ebisu implies that Naruto's poor chakra control stems from this, as a portion of his chakra is used to reject the demon fox's overwhelming chakra. According to Kakashi, Naruto's regular chakra level is about double that of Kakashi's own. As such, he is naturally suited to jutsu that use a large amount of chakra, such as his signature jutsu: Shadow Clone Technique. While most ninja are only capable of creating a few clones safely, due to the jutsu's hazard of equally dividing the user's chakra among the clones, Naruto is able to create up to two thousand while maintaining a decent supply of chakra in each one.
The demon fox's chakra usually comes to Naruto during life threatening or other stressful situations, given to him by the demon fox itself to ensure its survival. Naruto eventually learns to contact the demon fox and demand some of its chakra, which it seems to comply to out of amusement. The reason Naruto is able to access its chakra is because of the unique way in which it was sealed. Though the demon fox remains trapped within Naruto, its chakra can leak out through the seal and mix with Naruto's. The demon fox's near-limitless supply of chakra becomes an invaluable weapon for Naruto, often turning the tide of a difficult battle in his favor. Though useful, expanding the magnitude of his other abilities, Naruto cannot handle too much of the demon fox's influence. As he draws upon additional amounts of the demon fox's chakra, "tails" are produced, and from the fourth tail onwards he is reduced to animal instincts and can no longer differentiate between friend and foe. Although he usually has success from stopping himself from getting too far, once the fourth tail is attained he needs outside assistance to force the demon fox's influence to recede.
Rock Lee
Rock Lee is a Taijutsu specialist, devoted to his Taijutsu, and is mostly well known for his high-energy, single-minded, over-enthusiastic, over-zealous, and gung-ho personality. Lee is also characterized as being the epitome 'nice guy', having assumed many of his sensei, Might Guy's, personality quirks. During a disscussion between Rock Lee and Might Guy in Part I, it is mentioned that Guy once referred to Lee as "a Genius of Hard Work", highlighting that Lee always puts his heart and soul into his training.
During one of Lee's brief appearences in the anime-only episode 158: Follow My Lead! The Great Survival Challenge, in Part I, it is highlighted that Rock Lee can easily get carried away; when his three-man squad of Academy students addresses him as "Lee-Sensei", Lee becomes so overjoyed that he starts into a dramatic rave, heading off into the wrong direction, forgeting that he's supposed to be leading his team on a mission exercise. During the Anime only 'Three-Tails Arrival' arc in Part II, Lee is described by Tenten as just a "Work-out Addict", though it would be fitting to have called him a 'work-out maniac'.
Although Lee did not start out this way, he has always been a hardworking and an overly-persistant character: During his time as a student in the Konoha Ninja Academy, Lee's stubborn attempts at learning to use--and failure to perform basic level Ninjutsu and Genjutsu--were mocked by his fellow students, (and apparently even most of his Chunin-sensei had no kind words to offer to him, (with the possible exception of Iruka Umino)). Rock Lee was labeled as just another failure, a 'Dead-Last'. Only in the area of Taijutsu could Rock Lee make any progress, putting much effort into it, and in the end became the only student in his graduating class to graduate using only Taijutsu.
Under the tutelage of his Jonin-Sensei, Might Guy, (whom he always addresses and refers to as "Guy-Sensei", and from whom Lee got his more-extreme personality traits,) Lee now focused only on his Taijutsu, specializing in the Strong Fist Taijutsu Style, and trained ardently to prove that, even without any Ninjutsu or Genjutsu in his repertoire, that he too could become a "splendid ninja".
Lee has a number of other odd personality traits, though whether or not they are results of Guy's mentorship is unknown. One such trait is his apparent lack of common sense, believing at times that he can get what he wants by not wanting it. At other times, he takes copious notes, but forgets that he cannot check them during a fight. He also has a keen sense of honor and respects his opponents, refusing to hold grudges against those who have defeated him and returning favors to those that have helped him. This is shown by his readily befriending Gaara and forgiving him for crushing his arm and leg and putting him in the hospital. Lee feels others should show the same respect towards their opponents, and is disgusted whenever someone is unnecessarily cruel to their enemies.
Lee is known for speaking respectfully to others, being very proper in both English and Japanese language versions, and never using contractions or swearing. He also uses formal Japanese, applying proper titles ("-san", "-kun", etc.) to anyone he meets. His relationship with Guy has also caused him to acquire many of Guy's traits; in addition to his personality, his dedication to his promises as well as his belief that one cannot dislike food are characteristics of Guy.
Lee's attempts to prove and better himself are recurring themes for his actions throughout the series. He is generally optimistic and believes that with hard work and passion, he can surpass a natural genius, but can be prone to depression when faced with setbacks. His drive to succeed is initially most evident with his rivalry with Neji Hyuga, having learned from Guy that having a rival will provide incentive to succeed. Neji, a "genius" ninja, finds Lee's efforts of bettering himself to be in vain, believing Lee to be stuck as a "failure" for the rest of his life.
As such, Lee resolves to prove Neji wrong, and confronts another "genius", Sasuke Uchiha, in an attempt to test his worth. While Lee maintains the desire to defeat Neji in a fight throughout the Chunin Exam arc, after Neji's eventual defeat by Naruto Uzumaki, another labeled "failure", Lee becomes less interested in this goal. Neji's rejection of his previous belief in fate may also have contributed to this, as he now respects Lee, believing that he will surpass the gifted with enough work.
Shortly after his introduction, Lee reveals that he likes Sakura Haruno, asking her to be his girlfriend and vowing to protect her immediately after they meet. While she does not seem to share these feelings for him and considers him weird, Lee maintains these feelings and goes out of his way to help her throughout the Chunin Exams. Sakura becomes more appreciative after this and punches Naruto whenever he insults Lee.
Despite this, Sakura does not seem to return any romantic feelings for Lee, as she refers to him by the more formal "Lee-san", as opposed to "Lee-kun". After the Exams' conclusion, Lee's interest in Sakura goes largely unaddressed. Despite this, when Naruto fights Lee in the Lee's Dojo arc, he transforms into Sakura, causing Lee to forget about the fight long enough for Naruto to attack him. In Part II of the anime, he is especially pleased that Sakura is doing well against Sasori.
Kiba & Akamaru
During Kiba's time at the academy, he was often cutting class with Akamaru--stating that he wasn't made to sit still at a desk--or otherwise getting into trouble along with Choji Akimichi, Shikamaru Nara, and Naruto Uzumaki. Together these four would cut class or otherwise be testing the patience of Iruka Umino, their Chunin-sensei.
Personality: Kiba is often short-tempered and impulsive, in stark contrast to his teammates Shino and Hinata, and can be prone to making mistakes when he is agitated in battle. The fact that he enjoys the company of combat, as well as a habit of showing a joyful smile when facing a particularly strong opponent indicates that he's willing to risk his life for a mission. He deeply cares for Akamaru, and is willing to do whatever is necessary to protect him. And despite his rather gruff attitude, many of Kiba's actions reveal that he's very close to his older sister, Hana Inuzuka, and remains fiercely loyal to the Inuzuka clan.
Kiba often argues with Shino over what course of action the group should take, particularly when Shino advises caution. Kiba often sees himself as the group leader, and becomes offended at any of Shino's actions that he perceives as challenging his leadership. It seems as if there was a contest for the leadership of Team 8 during the Chunin Exams because Kiba says Hinata voted for him. Despite his disagreements with Shino, he considers Shino a friend, and respects his fighting capabilities. Kiba gets along well with Hinata, but tends to worry about her, urging her to be strong before the second phase of the exam, and forfeit rather than face a dangerous opponent.
Kiba apparently likes to tease Hinata about her affections for Naruto. These teasings usually manifest consist of telling her that Naruto is near or just mentioning her reactions to him to other people, much to her embarrassment.
Akamaru: At some point while Kiba was still in the academy, his mother, Tsume Inuzuka, entrusted him with Akamaru. Although Akamaru almost immediately urinated on Kiba's face, much to Tsume and Hana Inuzuka's amusement [1], the two grew close.

January 20, 2015
To help doctors give their patients the best possible care, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) asks its medical experts to develop recommendations for specific areas of cancer care. In 2013, ASCO updated the clinical practice guideline about preventing and treating blood clots for people with cancer to reflect new research. These recommendations were reviewed again in 2015, and the latest research continues to support the previous recommendations. This guide for patients is based on ASCO's recommendations.
Key Messages:
- Blood clots often occur for many reasons in people with cancer, especially in those with certain types of cancer or cancer that has spread.
- Blood clots can be prevented and treated with medication.
- Talk with your doctor about your risk of developing a blood clot and the steps you can take to prevent one.
A blood clot, also called a thromboembolism, is a serious side effect of cancer and cancer treatment. A venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a blood clot that develops in a blood vessel called a vein that carries blood to the heart. It may develop in any vein but happens most often in the legs, thighs, or pelvis. This is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT). A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blood clot that has traveled to the lung from another place in the body. A PE can be life-threatening.
Blood clots are common in patients with cancer. Many patients are not aware of the risks, symptoms, and signs of a blood clot. The risks for a blood clot are listed below, followed by the signs and symptoms. If you have questions and concerns about the risks and symptoms listed below, it's important to talk with your doctor.
Risk factors for blood clots
- Cancer, especially cancers of the lung, kidney, brain, digestive system, female reproductive system such as uterine cancer, and blood such as leukemia and lymphoma
- Metastatic cancer, which is cancer that has spread to other parts of the body from where it started
- Cancer treatment, including surgery lasting longer than one hour, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy. Drugs called antiangiogenic drugs that block the formation of new blood vessels such as thalidomide (Synovir, Thalomid) and lenalidomide (Revlimid) may increase the risk of blood clots.
- Treatment with drugs called erythropoiesis stimulating agents that help the body make more red blood cells, such as epoetin (Epogen, Eprex, Procrit) and darbepoetin (Aranesp)
- Being in the hospital, because most patients in the hospital can't be physically active and need to stay in bed or are unable to get out of bed
- A history of blood clots
- Having other diseases or conditions in addition to cancer, such as obesity, infection, kidney disease, lung disease, or a blood clot in a blood vessel called an artery that carries blood away from the heart
- Older age
- Race/ethnicity. The risk is higher for black people and lower for people of Asian-Pacific Islander descent.
- A condition that is inherited, meaning it is passed down from parent to child in a family, such as sickle cell disease, or a blood clotting disorder such as factor V Leiden mutation, which is a condition that causes too much blood clotting
Symptoms and treatment
The symptoms of DVT include pain, swelling, and redness of the calf, leg, or thigh. The symptoms of PE include shortness of breath, chest pain, breathing fast, rapid heartbeat, coughing up blood, and fainting.
Blood clots can be prevented and treated with drugs. Anticoagulants are drugs that help break up blood clots or stop clots from happening. Coagulation is the term used to describe the clotting of the blood. Anticoagulants may increase a person's risk of bleeding, but they are safe for most people. Typical anticoagulants include the following:
- Heparin
- Dalteparin (Fragmin)
- Enoxaparin (Lovenox)
- Fondaparinux (Arixtra)
- Tinzaparin (Innohep)
- Warfarin (multiple brand names).
Some of these drugs are taken orally as a pill that is swallowed, and others are given as an injection given under the skin, called a subcutaneous injection.
A doctor may add a non-drug method, called a mechanical method, to the drug treatment to prevent blood clots. Mechanical methods include the following:
- Graduated compression stockings, which are a type of support hose
- Intermittent pneumatic compression, which is squeezing the legs through a sleeve connected to a machine
- Mechanical foot pumps
ASCO recommends that doctors determine the risk of a blood clot for all patients, especially before starting or changing chemotherapy. ASCO also recommends the following for preventing and treating blood clots for patients with cancer:
- Most patients with cancer who are in the hospital should receive treatment with an anticoagulant to prevent blood clots during their hospital stay.
- Many patients who have to stay in the hospital for just a few days, such as for a minor procedure, do not need blood clot prevention, except for those patients who have a high risk of blood clots.
- To prevent blood clots, heparin or low doses of aspirin are recommended for patients with multiple myeloma who are receiving both antiangiogenic drugs and chemotherapy and/or the drug dexamethasone (multiple brand names).
- Patients who will have major surgery for cancer should receive treatment to prevent blood clots before surgery, continuing for at least seven to ten days after surgery. Treatment may continue for up to four weeks for patients who have a higher risk of blood clots.
- Heparin is recommended to treat DVT and PE for the first five to ten days, as well as for preventing blood clots for longer than six months.
What This Means for Patients
For people with cancer, especially those who are in the hospital, developing a blood clot is a serious risk. However, blood clots can often be prevented with anticoagulant medication. These medications are generally safe, although there is a small risk of bleeding. For patients who develop a deep vein thrombosis, and/or a pulmonary embolism, the same drugs that are used to prevent clots are given as a treatment. Talk with your doctor to learn more about your individual risk of developing a blood clot, how blood clot prevention will be included in your overall treatment plan, and what treatments are available if you do develop a blood clot.
Questions to Ask the Doctor
To learn more about your risk of blood clots, consider asking your doctor the following questions:
- Do I have a higher risk of a blood clot? How is my risk of developing blood clots determined?
- What can be done to prevent a blood clot before it starts?
- What are the signs and symptoms of a blood clot?
- If I have a blood clot or have had them before, what treatment do you recommend?
- How long will I need this treatment?
- What is my risk of bleeding with such treatment? Are there other side effects?
- What health conditions or medications may interfere with the treatment for blood clots?
- Who should I call if I have concerns about a symptom?

Welcome to the Athenaeum of Ohio
Welcome to the Athenaeum of Ohio, home of the third oldest Catholic seminary in the United States. As chancellor of the Athenaeum and chairman of its board of trustees, I am very proud of this institution. It not only has a proud history, dating back to 1829 and Cincinnati's first bishop, but is positioned for a strong future as well.
The late Bishop Carl Moeddel called the Athenaeum "the hidden gem of the Archdiocese." Today, that gem has a greater glow - and it is no longer hidden.
In the Athenaeum, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati has a blessing that only a few other dioceses enjoy today - a local institution dedicated to the effective formation of priests, deacons and lay ministers. It does so through three divisions:
Mount St. Mary's Seminary of the West, the Athenaeum's oldest division, prepares men for ordination as Roman Catholic priests. The seminary program has two primary components: spiritual formation and ministerial education. Priests ordained following formation at Mount St. Marys Seminary serve not only the Archdiocese of Cincinnati but other dioceses throughout the United States and throughout the world.
Lay Pastoral Ministry Program (LPMP) prepares women and men to serve the Church and our communities as lay ministers. Since its founding in 1975 as one of the first such programs in United States, more than 600 graduates have contributed to the mission of the Church by actively serving in parishes, schools, social service agencies and in other lay ministries.
The Special Studies Program, offers more specialized opportunities of study, including the Deacon Formation Program as well as continuing education programs for those in ministry.
I invite you to explore this website and discover the Athenaeum of Ohio. Pray with us, learn with us, grow in wisdom and grace with us.
Sincerely yours in Christ,

Bloomington, In.by Pat East '00 • October 9, 2007 Share:
For the Bloomington site for Wabash Day, we volunteered at the annual book fair for the Monroe County chapter of the Red Cross.
This is their main fundraising event and attracts thousands of people throughout the weekend. We had four volunteers - Pat East '00, Amber Faust, Dan Faust '05, and Andy Oler '00 (L-R on the pics). We worked in two-hour shifts, greeting people at the door, taking a census of the attendees, sorting books, adding new inventory to the tables, and in general, filling in wherever they needed us the most!

I've reached an impasse in the story gameplay for Kingdom Hearts Unchained:
As you can see, two rounds and the level is over, at which point you have to quit to start again.
There is an option to pay ingame currency to continue, but with the high amount of health bars this boss has and the fact the ingame currency is purchased with real world currency means I don't dare use that as a solution!
I'm uncertain of the reasoning behind making a boss that is simply unbeatable, it's not good gameplay.

WASHINGTON, DC -- To better address the chronic pain issues many former combat soldiers experience, a recently released Army Surgeon General report recommends using alternative practices, such as yoga, acupuncture and biofeedback.
Reports of severely wounded soldiers abusing prescription medicines and attempting suicide because of chronic pain prompted the report. The Pain Management Task Force was initiated by Lt. Gen. Eric B. Schoomaker, Army surgeon general, in August of 2009. The report also found that pain management has changed very little since morphine was discovered in 1805.
He said the Army examined research on the effectiveness of complementary techniques, and that he would like to see them integrated more into traditional medical treatments.
"Programs such as biofeedback and yoga have been subjected to scientific randomized trials and have been proven to be effective," Schoomaker said.
Schoomaker said his goal with the task force was to form a holistic pain management strategy that puts soldiers' quality of life first. Task force members visited 28 military, Veterans Affairs and civilian medical centers between October 2009 and January 2010 to observe best practices and treatment capabilities.
He plans to implement task force recommendations that can be enacted under his authority in the coming months. The 2010 National Defense Authorization Act also asked the Secretary of Defense to integrate a pain management policy into the military health care system no later than March 2011.

Newspaper reports on bombing over North Vietnam
An article in the New York Times asserts that the U.S. bombing campaign has neither destabilized North Vietnam's economy nor appreciably reduced the flow of its forces into South Vietnam.
These observations were strikingly similar to an earlier Defense Intelligence Agency analysis, which concluded that "the idea that destroying, or threatening to destroy, North Vietnam's industry would pressure Hanoi into calling it quits seems, in retrospect, a colossal misjudgement."
The first air strikes against North Vietnam were flown in the fall of 1964, in retaliation for two attacks on American warships in the Gulf of Tonkin (although the second reported attack has never been verified). Additional strikes, carried out under the name Operation Flaming Dart, were ordered in February 1965 in response to Viet Cong attacks on a U.S. Army barracks at Pleiku and a nearby helicopter base, which resulted in the deaths of nine Americans. When the Viet Cong attacked other U.S. facilities in South Vietnam, President Johnson initiated Operation Rolling Thunder in March 1965, an intensified air campaign against North Vietnam. He hoped that this campaign would relieve some of the pressure on South Vietnam, where the situation was rapidly deteriorating. Unfortunately, the bombing campaign did not have the desired results and Johnson had to commit U.S. ground troops to stabilize the situation.

Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a critical first step in the financial aid process. While it may seem daunting at first glance, filling out the FAFSA doesn't have to be overwhelming. According to the U.S. Department of Education, the FAFSA takes most people only 23 minutes to complete! In the time it takes to watch your favorite sitcom, you could be completing a major step toward paying for college. Student Choice's College Access Counselor recently led a webinar about completing the FAFSA, and we're highlighting some of the key steps here. (Tip: Check out our past webinar recordings or sign up for notices when new topics are announced!)
Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov to begin the FAFSA filing process. Remember, you can file NOW for the 2017-18 academic year, and the federal deadline to file is June 30, 2018. (Tip – don't wait until then to file! State and college deadlines are sooner, so make sure you meet or beat those.) If you have questions while you're completing the FAFSA, you can receive assistance over the phone by calling 1-800-4-FED-AID or schedule a one-on-one appointment with Student Choice's College Access Counselor.
This section includes the basics, such as your name, Social Security number, date of birth, and contact information.
You will need to enter the information for the colleges where you want your FAFSA information sent. You can always add or change them later, but try to have a few of your top choices selected.
There are many criteria used to determine whether you might qualify as an independent student. To look at the guidelines in advance, visit the Office of Federal Student Aid.
If you are in fact a dependent student (which is likely the case), your parents will then enter their information, including their personal data and income. The IRS Data Retrieval Tool is a simple way to transfer income information for both your parents and yourself.
Next up is your own income. You'll need information from your tax return in order to complete this section, but you may be able to transfer it using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool.
You will enter a few pieces of information in order to confirm your identity, and your parent will be asked to e-sign as well. You're all done!
You will receive a copy of your FAFSA confirmation via email shortly after completing it. Within three to five days you should receive another email indicating your FAFSA has been processed. At that point your information is sent to the schools you selected, and it's time to wait for your financial aid packages to be sent to you.
If you have questions about completing your FAFSA or about the financial aid process and paying for college, we can help! Our College Access Counselor in partnership with Student Choice is available for a free one-on-one consultation via phone or email. Request your appointment now!

Time To Hang Up The Hat (A Letter To The Parents)stevejb68 on August 24, 2010 in Leadership, Program
If you have been a leader in the Scouting program for a few years, or any sort of program for that matter, you have probably reached a point when you have said to yourself, "Why am I doing this? Am I the only one who cares? Why do I put up with these problems and these people?" It has happened to me several times during the 30 years I have been a leader of a Boy Scout troop.
The first time I was ready to hang up my scoutmaster hat was in 1986. I was a 25 year old scoutmaster, on the job as the scoutmaster for less then five years. The boys had become an unmanageable group, at least in my opinion. I was so frustrated that I wrote a letter to the parents. Then I called a friend of mine who lived nearly 100 miles away but had one of those new personal computers and a dot matrix printer. I asked him if he could type this letter and print enough copies for me to send to each family of the troop. After he agreed to do it I drove to his place that night. It was early in the morning when I arrived back home and mailed the letters but I didn't care. I wanted the parents to know how I felt about things. I listed the problems I saw in the troop, and gave some solutions on how we all could solve them. Here is what I wrote in that letter 24 years ago…
FROM THE DESK OF: Scoutmaster Steve B
TO: parents of the Scouts of BSA Troop 68
REGARDING: Problems of our troop.
Dear Parents,
The BSA program strives for three aims: 1) building character, 2) fostering citizenship, and 3) developing metal, moral, and physical fitness. Could our troop be failing to do this? I think so.
The month of April was the worst month, at least in my opinion, in our history as a troop. At the April 15th troop meeting the boys reached an all time high for rowdiness, goofing off, not listening, and not giving a darn. The meeting had to be halted twice to settle things down. It was after this meeting that I almost quit being a scoutmaster. But I didn't. And I will tell you why.
First of all, I like the boys and I care about them. I believe that each one has the potential to be a great human being. Second, I believe in the Scouting program. I feel it is the best program in the world that a boy can belong to. Third, I think that you and I both realize that if I quit this troop will more then likely fall apart for lack of a scoutmaster. I do not want that to happen.
During the week following that meeting I did a lot of thinking about the troop and my involvement with it. Should I stay on as scoutmaster? Is our troop really Scouting? Do the boys really care about Scouting? Do the parents care?
By the next meeting I found six things wrong with our troop: attitude, advancement, discipline, Scout spirit, uniforms, and participation. Quite a bit, isn't it? In the following pages you will read my feeling about these six items and my solutions. At the end there is a questionaire. If you as a parent care about your Scout and want Scouting to continue in Melrose, I would like you to fill it out and send it back to me by Monday, May 13th. If you do not send it back, my opinion will be that you do not care about your son being a Scout or Scouting in general. If this is the case, I ask you to keep your son at home. Scouting is a three way partnership between the boy, the scoutmaster, and the parents. If this partnership is not complete, the battle is lost.
And I am finally sick and tired of battling parents and boys.
Now, to get down to business. PROBLEMS:
1) Attitude
I feel this is the most important problem. If this problem was solved, everything else would probably fall into place.
Problem – The boys just do not seem to care about Scouting anymore. They want all the fun and games involved with Scouting, but they do not even try to act like Boy Scouts. They will often fight things that deal with Scouting (for example – knots).
Solution – This one is up to the boys. Either they start trying to be what a Scout should be, or as far as I am concerned, they are out of the troop. I have several boys that would like to be good Scouts and I will not have their time wasted by kids who have an attitude problem. I have tried discussing this with the Scouts. It is now your turn.
2) Advancement
This is a way of measuring a boy's interest in Scouting. But most important, it builds confidence in the boy and recognizes him for his achievements. This is extremely important at his age.
Problem – Advancement in our troop is almost at a standstill. I knew it had been bad, but I did not realize how bad until May 3rd when I did a report on troop advancement. The report is on the 24 boys who were in the troop for at least three months. Out of these 24 boys there is 1 Life, 1 Star, 4 First Class, 5 Second Class, 7 Tenderfoot, and six Scouts without a rank. Over one half of the troop is Tenderfoot or lower. These thirteen Scouts averaged 9.3 months with no rank advancement. Eight boys have not advanced in rank in over one year. Four of these have not advanced for over a year and a half.
Solution – The solution comes in two parts. First, and most importantly, you have got to show that you care. Sit down with him and calmly talk about it. Do not yell at him or he will shut you out. Find out how he feels about it. And then, this is very important, volunteer to help him, and then carry through with that promise. It is going to take some of your time, but he is worth it, isn't he? Secondly, I have tried to push the boys along. It is now time for me to take more drastic action. Any Scout who has not advanced at least one rank during the previous eleven months as of 5/31/85 will not be allowed to attend any troop monthly outings until he does advance. The only exception to this rule will be summer camp.
3) Scout Spirit
Scout Spirit is defined as following the Scout Oath, Law, Motto, Slogan, and Outdoor Code, and having a positive attitude about things.
Problem – The boys' Scout Spirit is at a very low point right now.
Solution – Other then to keep reminding them about it, I do not really have a solution. All of us, myself and you parents, must try to live up to the Scout Oath and Law, setting the example the boys need.
4) Discipline
To put it bluntly, a lack of it.
Problem – There is not enough of this in our troop. There are two groups of people who are at fault, the adult leaders and the parents. When I say the adult leaders, I am referring to one person, namely myself. This is the main area in which I must improve. I realize that I have been too lenient in disciplining and have let the kids go too far. But I have one problem. How far can I go in disciplining them? After all, they are not my kids.
Solution – First of all, I must get tougher and do more disciplining. This will be hard for me because I hate doing it, but the attempt must be made. Secondly, our troop is presently at 29 members, which is too much for one man to handle. Therefore, I ask that at least one other parent should be present at all troop functions or they will be cancelled.
Are you willing to give two hours a month to help your Scout and Scout troop?
5) Uniforms
The scoutmaster handbook states, "Just as it identifies the wearer as a Scout, the uniform reminds him that he is a Scout and influences his actions. The Scout uniform is also a leveler. Whatever a boy's background, when he puts it on he shares equally in the program."
Problem – The boys do not like wearing the uniform outside of a meeting. Sometimes the parents side with the boys.
Solution – The Scout handbook, scoutmaster handbook, Council and National Office state that whenever a Scout is on a Scout Function then he shall wear the uniform. As I told the boys last month, "You don't have to wear your uniforms, and you don't have to come to Scout activities either." If a boy wants to be a Scout in our troop then he will wear the uniform.
6) Participation
Problem – First, the boys sometimes feel they do not have to come to meetings or activities unless they fell like coming. Wrong! Part of Scout Spirit is actively participating in meetings, outing, good turns, and service projects. Secondly, it seems that some parents feel this is a baby sitting service. There are a number of parents in this troop who seldom help out. A couple have not helped at all yet. They keep saying they are busy and don't have the time.
Solution – Well, you should make the time! They are your kids, not mine. If you can not find the time to help out with the organization your son belongs to, then I can not find the time either. From now on I expect a lot more parent participation at troop meetings, outings, activities, committee meetings, and such. I am not going to try to handle 29 boys by myself. And I do not expect those parents who are already helping a lot to help anymore then their share.
I will be asking all of you to make commitments to your son and the Scouting program. If this troop is to work properly, we will have to work together. I myself am making a firm commitment toward helping the troop. At the end of April, I dropped out of every other organization I was involved with except two – Boy Scouts and the city council. I did this for a couple of reasons. One, I was getting involved with too many things. I finally realized this and set my priorities.
Secondly, I strongly believe that our children are our greatest resource. If we don't take the time to teach them and show them what is right, who will?
Third, the boys need adult guidance. By getting out of all the other activities, I will have more time to spend with the boys. But remember, your guidance is the most important to them.
Fourth, when I took the scoutmaster position, I promised the troop committee that I would dedicate myself to the troop. Well, I have been slacking and it is time I got back on the right track.
I have said a lot in this letter, and I have probably made a few of you angry. But I have been quiet for too long and it is time these things were said. I would like to hear your comments and remarks. Please remember to fill out the questionnaire and mail it back to me.
Thank you.
Your scoutmaster,
Steve B.
Looking back at this letter today I am amazed by what I actually wrote. I am also amazed to see that things have not changed that much during the last 25 years. We are still having a few of these problems with today's troop.
I am curious, what do you think of this letter by the 25 year old scoutmaster in 1986?

Car Brake Pads
Disc brakes deliver outstanding stopping power for modern vehicles. They work by pressure when you press the brake pedal, fluid is sent from the master cylinder through the brake lines to the calliper. The calliper holds an inner and outer pad (situated on the front and back of the brake disc). As the calliper squeezes, it creates drag, slowing your vehicle. However, it also creates friction and wears away the surface of your brake pads. It also creates wear on brake discs, as well. Pads wear into the surface of the disc, and heat can warp discs/rotors, particularly if heated and then exposed to water. Drivers will need to replace brake pads periodically, with the frequency determined by driving/braking habits and other conditions. When the need strikes, let Quickco provide you with the highest quality brake pads and brake discs available from companies like Mintex. Order your brakes online today and save time and money without sacrificing quality or value.

If you've several application windows visible on your PC desktop, then organising them normally requires lots of manual dragging of the various window borders. Which works, but is tedious.
WinMaximumize can help to automate this process, though. Once it's running, simply pressing the hotkey (Ctrl+F1 by default, though this can be changed) will extend the window border in all directions to fill any available space. As long as the program can be resized, anyway (if an application window isn't normally resizeable, WinMaximumize will have no effect).
And so if there's a window above your chosen application, for instance, and to the right, its window borders will instantly extend to meet theirs, without you having to do anything else at all.
This worked just fine for us, but if you don't like the results - or you decide you've just finished with your windows in this arrangement - then another hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+F1 by default) will restore the window to its previous size and position.
One small issue here comes in WinMaximumize's RAM use. It's not too bad (15MB or so on our test PC), but still rather more than we expected considering what the program is doing.
It does provide a quick and easy way to help reorganise your desktop, though, and if you're tired of resizing windows manually then WinMaximumize could save you a lot of time.

Family Math Night (tag line: discover the wonders of math...together)
I am a teacher, author, and entrepreneur. This project encompasses the teacher and entrepreneur. I conduct Family Math Nights at schools and I am beginning to market them as open-the-box-and-go KITS. Teachers are BUSY and so are parents. So I'm doing the work for them. You can get more of an idea about the project by visiting http://kidnexions.com/familymathnight.htm
Too often math is boring. I want to show that it doesn't need to be that way. I also want to bring families and educators together in an environment that is fun and hands-on.
I want an awesome logo to help launch this project. My goal is to have Family Math Nights across the country...and eventually worldwide!
Target Audience: Teachers who want to provide a fun math event for their families at their school but who don't have the time to put it together.
Administrators who want to focus on getting families involved in a math event.
Parents who want enrichment for their kids.
Family Math Night focuses on kindergarten through sixth grade. All activities are hands-on and take families beyond adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing into discovering patterns, building geometric designs, creating projects to take home, etc.
Family Math Nights will be held at a school site or a church or other facility.
Family Math Night is a fun event where families get together to discover really cool stuff in math through hands-on activities.
I'd like the title and tag line along with a drawing of some sort. I lean towards very simple lines but am open to anything.
I'd like the logo to be kid-friendly, but not over-the-top kiddie. After all, sixth graders will be a part of this and I don't want them to feel they're too old for this. Fun, kid colors...no black.
What I want the logo to "say":
-Doing math together is even more fun
-Mathematics is a beautiful "language"; it is filled with really cool discoveries
Where the logo will be used:
-website (note: we may be changing the color of our website, so don't use that as a reference)
-All materials used in the Family Math Night activities
-On the box that contains all the FMN materials
-Possible letterhead
-A large banner to be displayed at trade shows
Desired image formats:
Print file format - .ai, pdf (300dpi) (CMYK)
Web file format - .png (RGB)
No clip art or stock images please. Have fun and be creative!
