-OATS (Osteochondral Autologous Transplantation) is where a doctor takes healthy cartilage from a part of the knee that doesn't really need it, and transfers that cartilage to a place where knee has damaged or missing cartilage.

-CARTICEL or ACI is where a culture of cartilage is taken, grown and then grafted onto a place where cartilage is missing. This procedure is highly effective and therefore highly expensive.

-It would be good to get the ACI treatment but I'm afraid I'll have to go for OATS instead.

--Saudi Arabia has actually dealt fairly well with their Al Quida and Terrorist related problem. They have detained and killed most of their violent fundamentalist radicals as only a monarchy can.
-- The U.S. on the other hand has done a fairly bad job at ridding Iraq of its violent radical Muslims. Such a bad job that Iraq is now a danger to Saudi Arabia.
-- Funny how the monarchy can deal with a problem much better than the would-be democracy can. Be careful what you ask for.
