Since the Buddha attained Enlightenment in the sixth century BCE, his teachings on human suffering and the path to liberation have spread throughout Eastern and Western cultures alike. Buddhism arrived in Boston in the nineteenth century with the first Chinese immigrants to the city and a growing intellectual interest in Buddhist arts and practice. Boston's first Buddhist center was the Cambridge Buddhist Association (1957). The post-1965 immigration brought new immigrants into the city--from Cambodian and Vietnam, as well as Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Korea. These groups brought with them a variety of Buddhist traditions, now practiced at over 90 area Buddhist centers and temples. Representing nearly every ethnicity, age, and social strata, the Buddhist community of Greater Boston is a vibrant presence in the city. Read full essay

My partner and i wishAmazonwould stop being coy about its plans with an Android Linux-basedKindletablet and just broadcast it already. While Amazon still is not going to tell me that theyre creating one the Walls Street Journal can be reporting thatAmazon is planning releassing an iPad Compete with.
OK enough is sufficient. While I dont have any tough facts that any individual from Amazon will probably officially tell me heres what my sources have been telling me to expect. Precisely what Im telling you here is from people both within Amazon and via Amazons partners. Some of it can be wrong. Im sure nevertheless that the broad photograph is correct.
One. The Kindle Pill Specifications.
TheKindle Tablet is going to be made by Quanta Computers. It will run Android Honeycomb 3.1. On the components side it will havedual-core OMAP 4 ARM Cortex A9 processorsrunning at A single.5GHz. It will have a solid-state travel SSD for local safe-keeping. The device will have a 9-inch display.
There will be a couple versions. The first will support Wi-Fi only as the other will also include 3G support. Diet pill called garcinia cambogia The3G modelmaycome at the subsidized price along with support from a key telecommunications carrier.
2.Amazon will concentrate on Apples iPad
Dont think although that just because Amazon is taking a interestingly interest in the business area that theyre ignoring your 800-pound gorilla of tablet research- the Apple iPad Only two. Theyre not. There will be plenty of well-tested entertainment applications in addition to games for the Ipad Tablet.
Unlike a lot of other Android pills I expect The amazon online marketplace to price its tablet very strongly.
3.The Cloud-based Kindle reader Tablet
The SSD doesnt be that huge. I expect this to start at a miniscule 16GBs. That will largely possibly be because Amazon will probably strongly encourage one to useAmazon Cloud Driveto store ones music. Video Theyre going to want you to book your favorite TV shows and films fromAmazon Instant Video.
Together with the Kindle Tablet they will want you to keep your different goodies on the Amazon clouds not on the device alone.
4.The The amazon online marketplace Business Kindle Product
Dont think for a second that the Kindle Product is going to be somewhat similar to theBarnes Noble Color Place was at its start- an e-reader which could also be used as a capsule. This will be a full pill from moment one.
The Kindle Capsule besides having the common collection of Android program via theAmazon AppStore for Google android will also have serious enterprise applications. Ive been informed by big-time independent software sellers ISVs that theyve been approached by Amazon online to create business applications to the Kindle Capsule.
Im not talking little office software rooms such asQuickOfficeorThinkFree. No Im talking about interfaces in order to enterprise-level applications. Which ones That you will find telling stories away from school suffice it you know the names.
A few. Get ready to say good-bye to your dedicated e-reader.
Ive stated it before Ill state it again thededicated e-book is on its way to historys trashcan. You still be able to buy e-book readers from major companies for this coming winter holiday. Christmas 2012 however I doubt that. There will be inexpensive e-book audience but I expect Amazon online and Barnes Noble only to be offering tablets such as the Kindle Tablet 2 and the successor to theBarnes Noble Nook Coloration.
How close was I Well were going to see in July 2011 when the 1st Amazon Kindle Drugs will arrive. Professionally Im looking forward to this. While Android supplements are finally creating in-roads in the tablet industry we still never have had a big Android operating system tablet release any tablet that made people actually temporary stop before buying an Ipad 2. The Amazon . com Kindle Tablet will do exactly that.

Yingde Gases Group, a major mainland maker of industrial gases, saw its share price plunge 7.3 per cent to HK$6.45 yesterday. This came after it warned last Friday it expects to record an impairment loss on its 75 per cent stake in Zhangjiagang Yinde Gases, which makes fluoride, sulphur fluoride and nitrogen fluoride gases. Yingde said partner Smart Excel Investment which holds the remaining 25 per cent stake failed to provide the necessary know-how for cost-effective commercial production of the gases.

Seventy-two percent of executives prefer live video over on-demand video — But why? Let's consider some of the appeal of live video vs. video-on-demand (VOD). Today's socially-driven world craves instant gratification — and there's nothing more instant than live. Live events bring together a community of engaged viewers that are all sharing the same experience, at the same time. There's no delay, there's no spoiler from social media, and you can be anywhere in the world. Don't get me wrong — VOD is great and we cannot live without it — but there's something special about experiencing events live. It's something we all have experienced for decades on a consumer (and mostly physical) level, but technology has helped bridge that gap. Businesses have taken notice and are now adding live video into their marketing tool kits. Forward-thinking companies are harnessing the power of live video for a variety of uses, including: Continue reading

I love Dr. Chau! He performed my daughter's breast reduction a couple of years ago. She was 19 years old at the time and very nervous, however Dr. Chau and his staff made her feel very comfortable. I was so appreciative and her results were awesome! I had the same procedure last year and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made!
He is the best :) thank you to his staff also!
I had been to many consultations with many other surgeons before making my final decision. When I went for my consulatation with Dr. Chau I decided immediately! He gave me realisitc expectations, and didnt just tell me whatever I wanted to hear. He took the time to explain everything in depth to me and, listen to my concerns. I had my augmentation done almost 2 months ago and I couldn't be happier! I am amazed at how great they look, and feel! The most amazing part is that I hardly have any scar at all, and it has only been 7 weeks! I highly recommend Dr. Chau to anyone! Thank you Dr. chau

SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - The military completed its questioning of freed U.S. prisoner of war Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl on Thursday and a U.S. Army general must now recommend whether he should face charges over the circumstances that led to his capture by the Taliban.
Bergdahl, who was released in May after five years of captivity in a controversial prisoner swap, was read his rights under military law, notifying him that he is a potential defendant in a criminal case.
The questioning was "cordial" over two days by Major General Kenneth Dahl, who will now make a recommendation to the Pentagon on what punishment, if any, Bergdahl should face, Bergdahl's attorney, Eugene Fidell, said in an interview.
Some of his fellow soldiers in Afghanistan have said Bergdahl deserted his post and the Pentagon appointed Dahl to recommend whether the soldier from Hailey, Idaho, broke any military laws.
Bergdahl was released in exchange for five Taliban prisoners from the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in a swap that triggered an outcry from critics of the Obama administration.
Fidell said Bergdahl answered every question posed to him openly and honestly though he could have refused to answer questions. Fidell did not say what questions were asked.
"He's made of pretty stern stuff," said Fidell, who would not disclose details of the questioning. "It was a piece of work that had to be done, and now it's done."
The appointment of a major general to investigate the case demonstrates the importance and sensitivity the military places on it, said retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey Addicott and Greg Rinckey, a former Army Judge Advocate General officer.
Dahl is charged with trying to find out how Bergdahl came to be away from his post when he was captured by the Taliban.
Addicott, a former senior legal adviser to U.S. Army Special Forces, said Dahl has many options including recommending administrative punishment up to a general court martial.
"He can also recommend that he go through a medical disability retirement," Rinckey said, adding that he also could recommend Bergdahl leave the Army.
Dahl has until the end of next week to issue recommendations and could ask for an extension. The Army also could reject the recommendations.
Bergdahl completed a course of counselling and reintegration after his release and has been assigned to administrative work at Fort Sam Houston.

All services are valued equally. An online database makes it easy to see what skills and services your neighbors have to offer, and what services they need, so you can match your skills and needs with others in the community.

Readers on this blog know that I am a big fan off adding movement on time lapse footage. This can be done with motorized sliders, rotating pano heads and even a BBQ rotisserie. However those are sometimes hard (or expensive) to set up.
If you are looking for "dirty trick" to add motion to a static time lapse you could to it in after effects, or you could check out the new boy in town – Panolapse.

Minnesota Republicans captured control of the Minnesota House of Representatives in part by fueling urban versus rural resentment: "Those metro-centric DFLers give everything to Minneapolis and St. Paul." The truth is, turnout trends associated with non-presidential year elections were a much bigger reason why the DFL lost control of the Minnesota House.
A colleague of mine (from a more urban city) recently visited. When he arrived, I offered to show him around and he wanted to see transit-oriented development (TOD). Hmm…. I wanted to impress him, but I was stumped. Despite all our attention as a city and region to TODs, I don't believe we have any great transit villages right off the platform where we could go that would really resonate with him. There's Nicollet Mall and Target Field Station, but I wanted him to say, "wow, this is great!," but I didn't feel those would produce that response. Maybe I have impossibly high standards (maybe I'm just getting old and codgery), or maybe the Twin Cities is lagging a bit in the TOD quality department. So I took him for a drive along the West River Parkway and to West River Commons, which impressed him. This begs the question what is TOD and how can we do it better?
Here is my open letter to Saint Paul Public Works and Mayor Coleman.
Last week, David Levinson asked whether we are "building a city" in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. He noted that rail investments only make sense in areas where there is sufficient density to support those investments. He further wondered whether Minneapolis and St. Paul could achieve those requisite densities for a majority of residents in core areas in 20 or 30 years.
I live and work in Lowertown. Frequently my errands and wanderings take me up to the Rice Park/Landmark Center/7th Place areas. I'm always either on foot or bike. Over the last two-plus years of living here, I've become increasingly annoyed with the presence of the two "SuperBlocks". These are the blocks that have 7th Street as the northern border, Wabasha Street as the western, 6th Street as the southern and Minnesota Street as the eastern border (See map). They house the Wells Fargo tower and the Bremer Bank tower on the north ends, facing 7th Street. The vacant Macy's store and DoubleTree by Hilton face 6th Street on the south end. If you are coming from the mostly-pleasant 7th Street pedestrian mall and you want to go over to the eastern side of downtown, the most direct way is through the indoor "shopping" mall and skyway configuration of the SuperBlocks.
We can learn a lot from snow. I had a lot of thoughts as I drove around during and after our instant winter (text is above photos).

Can we all agree that driving is the worst part of snowy weather? The soft coating of white would make our city feel like a magical snow globe were it not for the havoc it wreaks on our roadways.
(Photo by Tony Randgaard) The new bikeway east of Lake Calhoun on 36th Street in Minneapolis is separated from the rest of the road by bollards.
For bikers and motorists merging on to the new and improved West 36th Street in Minneapolis the view may be a Tale of Two Cities. For bikers, the best of times and excitement over a separate, partitioned 10 foot wide expressway; for motorists relegated to the other half of the roadway, "Wow, the new repainted traffic lanes look awfully narrow?" Minneapolis recently completed construction of the model 36th Street West Bikeway Project, which converted half of the street into a protected bikeway and pedestrian corridor.
There is a small war going on in America's second-ring suburbs.
The "Transpo Convo" series asks people how they get around the city, how they would like to get around the city, and what could improve their transportation experiences around the city.
When one asks Jeanne Weigum what could improve her transportation experiences around the city, a conversation about public gardening ensues.

Big Bird caught in debate crossfire
Updated On: Oct 05 2012 11:38:11 AM EDT
Who knew Big Bird would be the star of the first presidential debate?
Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites lit up Wednesday night after GOP candidate Mitt Romney pledged to cut funding for public broadcasting.
"I'm going to stop the subsidy to PBS. I'm going to stop other things," Romney said. "I like PBS, I like Big Bird, I actually like (Jim Lehrer) too."
Several Twitter feeds immediately popped up, including @BigBirdRomney, @BigBird,@FiredBigBird, and more, each gaining from hundreds to thousands of followers within minutes, Entertainment Weekly reported.
There's even a Big Bird for President Facebook page. #BigBird and his friend #OscartheGrouch both became Twitter trending topics during the course of the debate, while Romney's quip also spawned several memes and .gifs.

There are clouds on the horizon in Brussels, and European technology leaders couldn't be happier. On March 22, Microsoft inaugurated its new Cloud and Interoperability Center (CIC) in the Belgian capital—the heart of the European Union's (EU) institutions—underscoring Microsoft's and the EU's commitment to the potential of cloud-computing innovation and growth across Europe. With a mission of promoting interoperability and collaboration to make the most of information technology, the CIC will showcase the latest cloud solutions in such areas as education, health, and e-government; it will also foster advanced research projects on cloud computing and interoperability. The CIC will provide much needed support for public-sector organizations and small and midsized businesses as they explore and adopt cloud technology and create their own innovative solutions.
Uli Pinsdorf, program manager in the security team, Microsoft Research, with Neelie Kroes, vice president of the European Commission
By offering a platform to experience cloud technology and share resources and knowledge, the CIC will act as both an incubator and catalyst for cloud computing in Europe. The CIC will host up to 15 cloud-based solutions, such as the Fire Risk Prevention system (previously called the Virtual Fire system) demo. Fire Risk Prevention demonstrates a cloud-based tool that uses analyses of metrological data, vegetation, and topographic models to predict wildfire risks anywhere on the Greek island of Lesvos. This application was initiated by the University of Aegean in cooperation with Microsoft Research Connections Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) and further developed by the European Microsoft Innovation Center (EMIC). Fire Risk Prevention is supported by VENUS-C, a collaboration that was established by Microsoft Research Connections EMEA and co-funded by the European Commission that involves scientific and technical partners across Europe. We anticipate that several other applications soon will be demonstrated on the VENUS-C platform, resulting from the conclusion of an open call that elicited more than 60 proposals.
Neelie Kroes, vice president of the European Commission that is responsible for the EU Digital Agenda, gave the keynote speech at the CIC opening. Her address discussed the European Cloud Computing Strategy and the importance of such ventures as the CIC. She also showed a series of interactive demos, including the impressive Fire Risk Prevention system.
During a transatlantic videoconference, Kroes congratulated Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on the opening of the CIC and welcomed the focus on interoperability and standards. "This gives me confidence that Microsoft and other cloud providers and users will contribute constructively to my work on a European cloud-computing strategy. All together we can tackle the challenges we face today and get the most out of this technology," observed Kroes.
Jean-Philippe Courtois, president of Microsoft International, also spoke at the CIC opening. Courtois stressed Microsoft's belief "that there's never been a more important time to invest in accelerating cloud adoption," and highlighted the investment in the opening of the Microsoft Innovation Center (MIC) in Brussels. He spoke about the value of cloud computing for small and midsized businesses, including startups, where it can provide enterprise-level computing power without prohibitive infrastructure investments. In the same vein, Courtois noted how cloud computing can drive productivity improvements and cost savings that will help budget-constrained governments address such societal challenges as health, education, research, and the environment.
All in all, it was a grand celebration of a bright day—incongruously brought on by clouds!

It may seem like an unlikely way to celebrate Earth Day, but this year, students at the University of Washington (UW) can mark the occasion with an exhilarating virtual trip away from our small blue planet, thanks to a unique collaboration between Microsoft Research Redmond and the UW Planetarium.
By incorporating digital images streamed from Microsoft's Worldwide Telescope (WWT), a computer program that brings together imagery from the world's best ground- and space-based telescopes, the UW Planetarium has gone beyond the typical static display of the heavens. WWT provides students with detailed views of the night sky through an incredible 3-D experience.
In the past, the UW Planetarium used a star-ball to project an image of the night sky on the building's domed ceiling. This is the tried-and-true method of showing the constellations and brighter stars, but it lacks the ability of zooming into details of objects like nebulae and seeing the birth of new stars. Couple that with the excitement of 3-D—a feeling that you're actually flying through the solar system—and you take student engagement to a whole new level.
The new projection system was a result of a two-year collaboration and cost approximately US$30,000—a bargain compared to equipping a planetarium with standard digital technology, which involves the installation of dedicated digital projection systems and can run half a million dollars or more. This low-cost system—created jointly by the UW Department of Astronomy and Microsoft researchers (especially WWT developer Jonathan Fay)—uses six modified home-theater projectors, each of which projects a portion of the digital image onto the dome. Software enables the perfect alignment of the six images and a resolution of 8 million pixels.
The UW planetarium also allows attendees to see the Terapixel image—the largest and clearest image of the night sky ever produced—in all its glory. Not only is the UW's digital planetarium a boon to students, it also serves as a model for inexpensive digitization of planetariums around the world. While you're waiting for digital projection to reach an institution near you, you can fire up your PC and go to the WorldWide Telescope site. There you can zoom among the stars, albeit on a much smaller (and flatter) screen. Or, if you happen to be in Seattle, check out the UW Planetarium shows that are open to the general public and get lost in the stars.
—Dan Fay, Director of Earth, Energy, and Environment at Microsoft Research Connections

Too tanky and mobile. Can hold points very well and get to any place that needs help or is vulnerable extremely fast.
Also by the time you get to top he's already got it half capped and if the team manages to finish capping he can back and return at full hp in a very short amount of time.
I'm trying to think of any way to counter rammus, and honestly there is none. I guess QSS is a semi-counter, but it really won't stop him from getting to any point FASTER than you can. Also he can taunt way more than you can use QSS.
I'd consider mobility possibly the most important attribute in dominion, although it's debatable.
The most important thing as to why rammus is OP is because AD champs are so popular. So often do people forget about blanced team and go 3-4 AD champs.
Rammus counters AD champs hard. If AP stacked champs were more common There would be alot less 'Rammus OP threads'
Rammus is considered OP bc he has everything that champion needs for Dominion and also fill multiple roles.
his tankiness is definitely good, but u can still blow him up with true dmg or AP dmg. he's simply too mobile. he's a lot like the pre-nerf jungle eve on SR. u either play really defensive or u get ganked and backdoored all game. its simply no fun.

- Wound healing, Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition, and collagen-containing products: a case study. [Journal Article]
- J Wound Ostomy Continence Nurs 2014 Nov-Dec; 41(6):611-4.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
The effects of multiple medications may impair or enhance wound healing. A review of the literature for drug side effects identified cell culture and case studies of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) impairing collagen deposition in cutaneous wounds; these medications have also been used to prevent or minimize keloid formation.A 71-year-old male patient presented with a venous leg ulcer (VLU), having incurred a crushing injury and fracture requiring surgical repair 16 years earlier. The patient's history was significant for obesity, smoking 1 cigar daily, hypertension, and lower extremity venous insufficiency; medications included amlodipine and lisinopril. The wound initially responded well to advanced wound products and compression, but wound healing subsequently stalled. A collagen-containing alginate dressing was added to the treatment regimen and the wound closed within 2 weeks.We postulate that lisinopril may have contributed to the observed delayed healing and targeted this potential impediment to wound healing with a readily available topical collagen-containing product resulting in a rapid wound closure after a significant delay in progress toward wound healing.
- [Varicoses: should invasive treatment be standard?]. [English Abstract, Journal Article]
- Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd 2014.:A8299.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
The new Dutch multidisciplinary guideline for diagnosis and treatment of venous pathology deals with diagnosis and treatment of varicosis, new surgical techniques in obstruction or insufficiency of the deep venous system, crural ulcers and compression therapy with hosiery or bandages. It also describes classical and new techniques for surgery and endovascular obliteration of varicose veins and evidence based criteria for choosing the optimal therapeutic strategy. Although the working party puts much emphasis on new invasive therapies it neglects to describe the results of conservative therapy such as therapeutic elastic stockings and lifestyle advice including weight loss, exercise and avoiding standing in upright position for long periods. The general advice to choose invasive therapy above conservative therapy except where the result of previous invasive therapy has been insufficient or where invasive therapy is not an option, seems somewhat over the top. Modern elastic stockings are more acceptable as they look good, are transparent and have all kinds of elegant extras and the modern fabrics are comfortable for the wearer. Class I compression stockings have been shown to be effective in uncomplicated cases and are easier to handle than class II, especially for the elderly.
- [The value of radial shock wave therapy in the management of extended crural ulceration. Case report]. [English Abstract, Journal Article]
- Orv Hetil 2014 Nov 1; 155(45):1794-9.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
The authors present the history of a 36-year-old woman who had crural ulceration in the ventral side of the left lower limb due to venous circulatory failure for 5 years. In addition to the application of dressing adapted to the actual status of the wound, the authors applied an extracorporal shock wave therapy two times per week. After this treatment the size of the ulcer significantly decreased and it became suitable for mesh-graft cover. The patient is currently asymptomatic. The authors draw attention to the fact that the number of patients having crural ulcer is increasing in developed countries including Hungary. Lower limb ulcers occur in 1-5% of the adult population. Predisposing factors include older age and civilization hazards such as obesity, diabetes and sedentary lifestyle. The main cause of the disease is circulatory failure; venous insufficiency occurs in about two-thirds of the patients, arterial ischemia in 15% and diabetic angiopathy in 15% of the cases. Infections, metabolic diseases and immunological disorders may be also an underlying cause in a small number of patients. In several patients the causative factors occur simultaneously making difficult to find and effective treatment. Despite the use of numerous preventive and therapeutic protocols, treatment is usually long and does not always match expectations of the patients. Orv. Hetil., 2014, 155(45), 1794-1799.
- Chronic venous leg ulcers: Effects of foam sclerotherapy on healing and recurrence. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Phlebology 2014 Oct 28.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment option used for ablation of axial and perforator reflux for chronic venous ulceration. Active ulceration presents a significant health burden in both the primary and secondary care setting. The objective of this study is to determine ulcer healing rates at 24 weeks and 12 months, and ulcer recurrence rates at one year for chronic venous ulcers after ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy.Between 2007 and 2012, 54 patients underwent ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy for clinical, aetiological, anatomical and pathological C6 ulcers. All patients were followed up clinically, and venous duplex was performed on all legs before and after treatment. A prospectively maintained database was analysed to determine venous truncal occlusion rates, 24-week and 12-month healing and recurrence rates (using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis).Fifty-seven ulcerated legs, 39 primary and 18 with recurrent superficial venous reflux were analysed. Median time of active ulceration at presentation was 15.2 months (range 5 months to 17 years). At a median follow-up of 2.7 months, 90% (51 legs) achieved full truncal occlusion after one session, 4% (2) short segment occlusion and 5% (3) failed to occlude and one patient died and was lost to follow-up; 13/57 (23%) required a second session of treatment for completion of treatment, recanalisations and to treat perforator disease, 88% (50/57) ulcers healed at a median of 5.3 months (interquartile range 2.9-8.4 months) following their first ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy treatment. The 24-week and 12-month estimated healing rates were 53% and 72%, respectively. The estimated 12-month recurrence rate was 9.2%. There were no reported incidences of deep venous thrombosis or neurological symptoms.This study affirms the role of ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy as a safe and effective option for abolition of superficial reflux.
- [Ankle brachial index measurement]. [English Abstract, Journal Article]
- Acta Med Croatica 2014 Oct.:123-6.
Ultrasound examinations are noninvasive diagnostic methods which, along with appropriate history and clinical examination, provide basic information on the etiology and spread of the disease, as well as on treatment options required in patients with chronic venous insufficiency and arterial flow impairment. Doppler flow meter offers useful data on venous blood return, primarily in great veins, while both deep and superficial veins as well as arteries can be visualized and data on venous and arterial hemodynamics obtained by duplex ultrasonography. In addition, Doppler flow meter provides data on the peripheral arterial system action through ankle brachial index measurement, which will guide the choice of compression therapy when deciding on the treatment of peripheral arterial disease and mixed arteriovenous leg ulcers. However, diagnosis of arterial insufficiency requires additional examinations.
- [Differential diagnosis and work up of chronic leg ulcers]. [English Abstract, Journal Article]
- Acta Med Croatica 2014 Oct.:25-30.
Many factors contribute to the pathogenesis of leg ulcers. The main causes are chronic venous insufficiency, peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) and diabetes. Some leg ulcers are caused by combinations of these well-known etiologic factors. The most common cause of PAOD is arteriosclerosis. In diabetic patients, distal symmetric neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease are probably the most important etiologic factors in the development of leg ulcers. Less frequent causes of chronic leg ulcers are hematologic diseases, autoimmune diseases, genetic defects, infections, primary skin disease, cutaneous malignant diseases, use of some medications and therapeutic procedures, and numerous exogenous factors. Diagnosis of leg ulcer is made upon medical history, clinical picture, palpation of arteries, functional testing and serologic testing. Device-based diagnostic testing should be performed for additional clarification. Also, lesion biopsy should be taken for histopathology, direct immunofluorescence, bacteriology and mycology. The knowledge of differential diagnosis is essential for ensuring treatment success in a patient with leg ulcer.
- [Chronic wounds as a public health problem]. [English Abstract, Journal Article]
- Acta Med Croatica 2014 Oct.:5-7.
Chronic wounds represent a significant burden to patients, health care professionals and the entire health care system. Regarding the healing process, wounds can be classified as acute or chronic wounds. A wound is considered chronic if healing does not occur within the expected period according to the wound etiology and localization. Chronic wounds can be classified as typical and atypical. The majority of wounds (95 percent) are typical ones, which include ischemic, neurotrophic and hypostatic ulcers and two separate entities: diabetic foot and decubital ulcers. Eighty percent of chronic wounds localized on lower leg are the result of chronic venous insufficiency, in 5-10 percent the cause is of arterial etiology, whereas the rest are mostly neuropathic ulcers. Chronic wounds significantly decrease the quality of life of patients by requiring continuous topical treatment, causing immobility and pain in a high percentage of patients. Chronic wounds affect elderly population. Chronic leg ulcers affect 0.6-3 percent of those aged over 60, increasing to over 5 percent of those aged over 80. Emergence of chronic wounds is a substantial socioeconomic problem as 1-2 percent of western population will suffer from it. This estimate is expected to rise due to the increasing proportion of elderly population along with the diabetic and obesity epidemic. It has been proved that chronic wounds account for the large proportion of costs in the health care system, even in rich societies. Socioeconomically, the management of chronic wounds reaches a total of 2-4 percent of the health budget in western countries. Treatment costs for some other diseases are not irrelevant, nor are the method and materials used for treating these wounds. Considering etiologic factors, a chronic wound demands a multidisciplinary approach with great efforts of health care professionals to treat it more efficiently, more simply and more painlessly for the patient, as well as more inexpensively for health care funds.
- Surgical treatment of large vascular leg ulcers: a retrospective review evaluating risk factors for healing and recurrence. [Journal Article]
- Dermatol Surg 2014 Nov; 40(11):1240-8.
- AbstractPublisher Full TextPublisher Full Text
Superficial reflux ablation and revascularization improve the long-term prognosis of venous and arterial leg ulcers but do not solve the problem of protracted healing of large chronic wounds. Skin grafting has been shown to successfully heal chronic leg ulcers.To identify risk factors for ulcer healing and recurrence after shave therapy and split-skin grafting in patients with large ulcers treated surgically for venous insufficiency.Single-center retrospective cohort study involving 72 chronic leg ulcers with a mean area of 77 ± 132 cm. Healing and recurrence rates were determined using life-table analysis. Clinical, demographic, and hemodynamic parameters were correlated with healing and recurrence using Cox regression analysis.Sixty ulcers (83%) healed after a mean of 1.9 months and 15 ulcers (25%) recurred after a mean of 12.7 months. Healing was positively associated with compression treatment (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.02, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14-3.59) and negatively associated with ulcer duration (HR: 0.99, 95% CI: 0.98-1.0). Male sex, ulcer duration, and deep venous reflux were identified as significant risk factors for ulcer recurrence (HR: 0.14, 95% CI: 0.03-0.73; HR: 1.02, 95% CI: 1.0-1.04; and HR: 5.4, 95% CI: 1.30-22.31).Early surgical intervention improves healing and reduces the risk of ulcer recurrence.
- Maggots as a wound debridement agent for chronic venous leg ulcers under graduated compression bandages: a randomised controlled trial. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Phlebology 2014 Oct 8.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Slough in chronic venous leg ulcers may be associated with delayed healing. The purpose of this study was to assess larval debridement in chronic venous leg ulcers and to assess subsequent effect on healing.All patients with chronic leg ulcers presenting to the leg ulcer service were evaluated for the study. Exclusion criteria were: ankle brachial pressure indices <0.85 or >1.25, no venous reflux on duplex and <20% of ulcer surface covered with slough. Participants were randomly allocated to either 4-layer compression bandaging alone or 4-layer compression bandaging + larvae. Surface areas of ulcer and slough were assessed on day 4; 4-layer compression bandaging was then continued and ulcer size was measured every 2 weeks for up to 12 weeks.A total of 601 patients with chronic leg ulcers were screened between November 2008 and July 2012. Of these, 20 were randomised to 4-layer compression bandaging and 20 to 4-layer compression bandaging + larvae. Median (range) ulcer size was 10.8 (3-21.3) cm(2) and 8.1 (4.3-13.5) cm(2) in the 4-layer compression bandaging and 4-layer compression bandaging + larvae groups, respectively (Mann-Whitney U test, P = 0.184). On day 4, median reduction in slough area was 3.7 cm(2) in the 4-layer compression bandaging group (P < 0.05) and 4.2 cm(2) (P < 0.001) in the 4-layer compression bandaging + larvae group. Median percentage area reduction of slough was 50% in the 4-layer compression bandaging group and 84% in the 4-layer compression bandaging + larvae group (Mann-Whitney U test, P < 0.05). The 12-week healing rate was 73% and 68% in the 4-layer compression bandaging and 4-layer compression bandaging + larvae groups, respectively (Kaplan-Meier analysis, P = 0.664).Larval debridement therapy improves wound debridement in chronic venous leg ulcers treated with multilayer compression bandages. However, no subsequent improvement in ulcer healing was demonstrated.
- The perspectives of adults with venous leg ulcers on exercise: an exploratory study. [Journal Article]
- J Wound Care 2014 Oct; 23(10):496-509.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Exercise has the potential to offer a range of health benefits in addition to improving healing outcomes for people with venous leg ulcers (VLUs). However, despite evidence-based recommendations, most of these individuals do not engage in regular exercise. The aim of this study was to gain an understanding of the perspectives of adults with VLUs, in relation to exercise.This was a qualitative design using semi-structured interviews and discussions. Ten participants with venous leg ulceration volunteered to participate. Recruitment was through a specialist wound clinic. Verbatim data were collected by an experienced moderator using a semi-structured guide. Data saturation was reached after three group discussions and two interviews. A random selection of transcripts was sent back to the participants for verification. Thematic content analysis was used to determine major themes and categories. Two transcripts were independently analysed, categories and themes independently developed, cross checked and found comparable. Remaining transcripts were analysed using the developed categories and codes.Regardless of their current exercise routine, participants reported exercising before venous leg ulceration and expressed an interest in either becoming active or maintaining an active lifestyle. Overall, four themes emerged from the findings: i) participant understanding of the relationship between chronic venous insufficiency and exercise patterns; ii) fear of harm impacts upon positive beliefs and attitudes to exercise; iii) perceived factors limit exercise; and iv) structured management facilitates exercise.The value of exercise in improving outcomes in VLUs lies in its capacity to promote venous return and reduce the risk of secondary conditions in this population. Despite motivation and interest in being exercise active, people with VLUs report many obstacles. Further exploration of mechanisms that assist this patient population and promote understanding about management of barriers, coupled with promotion of enabling factors, is vital for improving their exercise participation.The authors declare that they have no competing interests.

Update 27 October 2014
West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) supports many early morning, rural, evening and Sunday services in Calderdale. However, like most public bodies its funding has reduced. This review was designed to ensure public money is spent in the most effective and efficient way. Public consultation on the proposed network changes took place between Wednesday 4 June 2014 and Monday 21 July 2014. There was a large volume of responses with the following major issues raised (in order of volume):
Following consultation WYCA's proposals were modified to seek to take into account these issues. Revised timetables were then put out to tender for all bus operators to bid against. The tendering process is now complete and bidders notified of the results.
What has changed following consultation?
WYCA has resolved most of the major concerns raised during the consultation, with the following services planned:
Yorkshire Tiger have also agreed commercially to provide Copley with a half hourly service by diverting the 573 (Halifax – Brighouse – Elland) through the village. To make these positive changes, a number of other services have had to be retimed but current frequencies have been maintained. It has not been possible to resolve all the issues arising through consultation and the following changes will take place as these services were not value for taxpayers money and did not meet WYCA's criteria for continued support:
The following changes should also be noted:
What changes are being made to my bus service?The following links to a table which summaries contracted bus services changes which will be introduced in January 2015. Please note that there may be some further changes to commercial bus services which we are not yet aware of. Calderdale Bus Service Review Outcome summary (pdf, size 230kb, opens in a new window)Who will be operating the bus services? Yorkshire Tiger will be running the majority of the contracted bus services from 24 January 2015. FirstGroup will be operating a limited number of early mornings, evenings and Sunday contracts (where they run daytime services to avoid ticketing issues). Yorkshire Tiger will also operate all 507 journeys and will therefore provide all the Claremount services. Service 586 (Ring and Ride) will continue to be operated by DK Travel. What vehicles will be used?Yorkshire Tiger has committed to the introduction of six brand new buses for operation on tendered routes in Calderdale. These buses, to be branded as "Tiger Cubs", will be mini hybrids fitted with free Wi-Fi. In addition Yorkshire Tiger are refurbishing the remainder of their smaller single decker buses fleet. When will bus timetables be available? The successful operators are now preparing their detailed timetables for submission to the Traffic Commissioners in late November. WYCA will be contacting all those who took part in the consultation during December though printed timetables probably won't be available until early January 2015.

Another View -- Joe Grant: Why did Kelly Ayotte get the immigration vote wrong?
The political landscape is littered with evidence of congressional failures in similar attempts to repair what Sen. Ayotte refers to as a "severely broken immigration system."
Since 2006 we've seen other bills like the Border Security First Act of 2007, the reinstatement of the Secure Fence Act of 2008, the Border Security Accountability Act of 2008, the Border Security Technology Innovation Act of 2008. The list goes on.
Sen. Ayotte's vote on the amnesty issue is in direct contradiction to her campaign rhetoric and other statements she's made since she was elected. With this background and knowledge available, an inquiring mind must ask: Why? Why would any politician espouse such conservative principles and then act so blatantly to the contrary? This is not a rhetorical question.
Here are some clues.
It appears that Michael Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns negative ads have had a greater impact on Sen. Ayotte than some of us imagined, and perhaps the senator reasoned that a quick flip flop would suffice to get Michael and his ilk to "disappear."
