SEATTLE - When Connie Wood's 9-year-old niece recently visited from Florida, she needed some warmer clothes for the iffy Seattle summer. In another time, Wood might have taken her to a department store. But in this cooling economic climate, she decided to try Value Village.
Wood was a first-time customer at the thrift-store chain, but she's not the only shopper turning to Value Village to stretch her dollars these days. At the Crown Hill, Wash., store, second-quarter sales grew by more than 10 percent, and across the Northwest, sales are up 7 percent.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Publicly traded medtech companies in the US and Europe turned in a solid performance in 2010, outpacing 2009 growth rates in each of the major financial indicators and providing further evidence that the impact of the global recession on the industry may be lessening. However, persistent funding challenges for many companies combined with regulatory and pricing pressures and fundamental changes in global health care will require companies to find new ways to sustain in the future.
