Lollapalooza 2012
From Frank Ocean to Justice to SBTRKT, the best and brightest of this year's fest
By Jordan Sargent , August 6, 2012

Lollapalooza is always an easy target. It is overwhelmingly corporate and frequently books acts that are ripe for ridicule. It's a huge festival, and while that's part of the problem, it's also its greatest strength. The bill each day had more than enough bands to entertain anyone who is into even the broadest definition of "popular music," and it's remarkably easy to ignore whatever you choose to ignore, too. The crowd-drawing acts this year (Black Sabbath, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Keys) certainly pale in comparison to those of the past, but the same is true for this year's iterations of Coachella and Bonnaroo. The ever-encroaching beast that is EDM was also well-repped, but unless you sought that kinda thing out, it manifested itself only in occasional sound bleeding and neon bright attendees. The 2012 version of Lolla will always be remembered as The One Where They Kicked Everyone Out thanks to Saturday's treacherous storms, but that, too, tells you something: It is a fan-first festival. The food is good and cheap, and there are plenty of places to buy beer or lie down in the shade. The quality of its lineup will ebb and flow with the currents of popular music, but at its core Lolla is well-run and enjoyable on a very simple level.
Best display of raw star power: You can look at the impressive sales numbers and reviews, but its hard to grasp the absolute magnetism of Frank Ocean until you see him in person. It is strikingly effortless-- the man walks on stage, murmurs hello, and people start screaming themselves hoarse. There was an amazing number of fans at his set on Saturday night who were beyond excited just to see Ocean with their own eyes-- true pop star shit. Frank slyly toyed with the buzzing crowd by opening with an acoustic cover of Sade's "By Your Side", but from there he smoothly ran through a selection of songs spanning both of his albums. He sounded fantastic, but that almost felt beside the point.
Michael Phelps shoutouts: 2 (SBTRKT, White Rabbits)
Shit singers say: At the Drive-In frontman Cedric Bixler-Zavala was in a gregarious mood on Sunday, and the most memorable part of his band's set came when he mentioned that the north field smelled strongly of manure. The reunited act opened with a smattering of songs from their last two albums, though they still haven't shaken the rust off entirely.
Best death-defying wardrobe choice: Dum Dum Girls played in all black early Sunday afternoon. They survived. Somehow.
Most genius attendee: Cell phone service was very elusive-- so much so that the relaxing respite from interconnectivity quickly gave way to frustration. But one guy standing next to me at Dum Dum Girls had a rather simple solution: He and his friends were communicating via walkie talkie. I wanted to hug him, but it was nearly 90 degrees.
Number of acts who told members of the crowd to turn and hug the person next to them: 3 (Aloe Blacc, Frank Ocean, Florence and the Machine)
Most worth the wait: George Lewis Jr. and his band spent the first 20 minutes of their post-evacuation set time in a tug-of-war with the Google Play stage's sound people. Despite tangible tension in the crowd, Twin Shadow waited until everything was just about right-- and then calmly launched into one of the best sets of the weekend. Bathed in fog and illuminated by blue and green lights, the frontman brought mysticism and everyman anthems in equal measure. Lolla isn't short on theatrical guitar heros, but Lewis rose to the top.
Most cheeky: Justice closed out Sunday night opposite Jack White, on the same stage where Avicii shut down Saturday. The French duo is skronky enough to appeal to EDM fans, but the most fun part of Justice's set was watching them play with the crowd's expectations. There were numerous moments where they would build the beat up, flash the stage lights on the crowd and then cut everything back down to nothing right as people were readying themselves for the big crash. They folded "D.A.N.C.E." into the set about 20 minutes in, batting it around as if they were letting us in on a practice session, first playing it as a piano ballad, then with crunching riffs, and eventually sneaking in a few seconds of Jay-Z's "On to the Next One" (meta!). But they never dropped the hit outright. Which isn't to say the set wasn't adequately crowd-pleasing, just that Justice aimed to keep everyone on their toes.
Best Kool-Aid man homage: A good portion of people who showed up to see M83 were seemingly there just to see "Midnight City", so when their saxophonist came out of nowhere to tear through his solo-- jumping, bursting, wailing-- everyone went adequately bonkers.
Best dance set: With Perry's stage dedicated almost exclusively to EDM this year, dance music was represented in numbers. But the stage left a lot to be desired when it came to diversity in sound, and SBTRKT were shoved out onto the Google Play stage late Friday afternoon. No matter, though, as the duo of Aaron Jerome and Sampha brought some much needed emotional tension to the festival, cutting sharply against EDM's geeked-up euphoria.
Best faces: Passion Pit did something on Saturday that they'll almost certainly never do again: effectively open for Black Sabbath. As the boisterous band's set wound down on Friday, groups of Sabbath fans began to stream toward the Bud Light stage-- and the look on a lot of their faces was a priceless mixture of confusion, anger, and maybe a little fear.
Biggest concession to EDM: Die Antwoord are nominally a rap group, but their set on Friday was much closer to 90s cheeseball Eurotrance than anything, with vocalist Ninja inhabiting the role of deep-voiced male, stiffly giving the listener dance instructions. But, boy, is there room for exactly that at Lolla, and after deploying a few Skrillex drops, the South African duo had the crowd by the strings. So when Yo-Landi Vi$$er chanted, "I think you're freaky and I like you a lot," for damn near 10 straight minutes, the furry-leg-warmers set treated it like a revelation.
Popular band I knew was popular, but... wow, are they popular: People like to say radio-rock is dead, and maybe it is. But if so, there were a lot of people on Friday night happily dancing on its grave during the Black Keys' set.
Easiest way to get trampled: By people sprinting in groups to Perry's stage, which hosted the EDM acts this year, when the DJ dropped a particularly huge track. If you've ever been curious about the running of the bulls but don't really want to run with actual bulls, just stand at the corner of Balbo and Columbus during Lolla 2013.
Best argument for having a lot of friends: Noontime at Lolla is normally reserved for bands that children and their parents can enjoy together, but that wasn't exactly the case on Saturday. Chief Keef was added to the bill late enough that he was stuck playing Perry's EDM-filled stage just as the sun peaked. Keef and wingman Lil Reese were joined onstage by 18 friends, who basically blew up the "I Don't Like" video-- the crew's most arresting visual-- to festival status, limbs everywhere and kids leaning all over each other, just having a blast.
Most melt-worthy: "If you were wondering why one of those songs sounded strange, it's because I think one of my pedals has melted," revealed Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker midway through their Friday afternoon set. It was just that kind of day for the Aussies, who were playing the shadeless, shitty-sounding Sony stage. Tame Impala's music should swallow you whole, but here, their reverb turned into a barrier between the stage and the crowd.
Best argument for playing at night: Abel Tesfaye's music describes a very specific set of experiences-- and frolicking at a three-day music festival is not one of them; the Weeknd and Lolla were a predictably imperfect match. It's hard for Tesfaye to retain much of what attracts people to his music when it's just him and his band on a massive stage-- the singer needs the mystery and creepy anonymity of dark clubs and high-rise condos, neither of which he had on Saturday.
Best sunburn soundtrack: War on Drugs are a band tailor-made to play in the late afternoon, as the sun is just beginning to set, but even in their thankless, early-afternoon slot on Friday, the Philly act's noise-drowned country rock sounded about as perfect as could be washing over the Google Play stage's baking, dusty field. Heads-- if not feet!-- were moving early in the set, though maybe it was just people dodging weed smoke.
Most conflicting interests: Even a festival with as big a net as Lolla can short certain genres, so here was L.A.'s Aloe Blacc-- mostly unknown in America-- speaking for soul under the scorching Saturday sun. Blacc can work a stage, and the crowd was game enough to indulge his silliest (and highly endearing) requests, most notably asking the audience to form dance lines à la "Soul Train". But Blacc's set was most noteworthy for producing a distinct cognitive dissonance. Though his throwback protest poetry is generalist enough for almost anyone to swallow, it was still weird hearing lyrics like "this free country is not so free" at a festival that is in many was a paean to capitalism's great power. Blacc, unfortunately, fell just short of being some sort of unlikely trojan horse.
Most fun with a time machine: Lolla's booking seems to mostly take a "throw it at all at the wall" approach, but there was an instructive bit of lineup construction at the Bud Light stage on Saturday. That is where Franz Ferdinand-- once one of the biggest contemporary acts in Europe-- took the stage one slot before current European sensation and EDM heavyweight Avicii. Though they may not be as in-demand as before, Franz still ripped into a festival-polished set that could have shown headliners Red Hot Chili Peppers a thing (or 20) about funk.
Best headliner (in her own mind): On record, the incessant hugeness of Florence and the Machine is a bit overwhelming, but that's far from a problem at a festival as massive as Lolla. The same elements of Florence's music that can wear people down instead work to uplift in front of a sweaty horde. Florence has cut her teeth in Europe's relentless festival circuit, and she clearly relished playing to a crowd that swelled to fill a good portion of the main north field on Sunday. At one point late in her set, she hopped off the stage and performed while running along the barriers of the crowd. Typical festival tactics, maybe, but it fit right in with Lolla's love-in vibe.

Her voice just made me sleepy.

Hot dogs are EVERYWHERE! From stadiums to street corners, convenience stores to concession stands, it's not hard to spot the "All-American Tube Steak" being carted or carried around in a ceremonious display. Yet this simple piece of culinary wonder often goes without the thanks it deserves for plumping up your profits and keeping guests satisfied day in and day out. Thankfully, today, July 23rd, is National Hot Dog Day! An entire day to celebrate the hot dog for all that it is – whatever that may be . . .
Everyone has their own special way of making a hot dog a HOT DOG! Whether you prefer to pile on the ketchup, the mustard, the mayonnaise, the chili sauce, the cheese, or the relish, WEBstaurantStore.com has every condiment you need to keep your hot dog just the way you like it. How do I like mine I ask? Lots of honey mustard and Kosher Dill pickle chips! (And maybe some chopped onion for a little zing.)
Aside from the condiments, the preparation of your hot dogs has a lot to do with their unique flavor. Perhaps you are a traditional hot dog equipment user. With brands such as Avantco, APW Wyott, Eagle Group, Nemco, and Star, and capacities ranging from a measly 18 hot dogs, up to an astounding 170 hot dogs, I'm pretty certain we will have just the "hot-dogger" you are looking for.
For a smoky, backyard, barbeque flavor, a charbroiler would definitely be more the route you should consider. However, they certainly do come with a lot to think about when making the purchase. Are you looking for something that is run by electric, liquid propane or natural gas? Or one that is field convertible? Should it have radiant heat or lava rocks for a heat source?
While we are still on preparation methods, here are three more quick and convenient methods of cooking hot dogs both at home, or at the restaurant.
With all this talk about hot dog condiments and preparation methods, I'm about to go out and celebrate this National Hot Dog Day the proper way – with a cookout! Before I go though, I will remind you to check out our selection of hot dog bags to serve your hot dogs up in style. For quicker service, white paper fluted hot dog trays will even suffice, or, why not try a white foam hinged lid hot dog container? And don't neglect the napkins!

HaiVisionâs MAKO-HD telepresence codec transmits first live stereoscopic 3D high definition surgical procedure using IP video
June 24, 2008 – HaiVision Systems Inc. (Montreal, Canada), the worldâs leading vendor of performance H.264 network video codecs, announces that today at the annual meeting of the Canadian Urology Association (CUA) in Edmonton, Canada, the industry leading MAKO-HD video encoder/decoder technology is being used to transmit live surgical stereoscopic 3D high definition 1080i video from Intuitive Surgicalâs daVinci S robotic surgical system.
Orchestrated by Capital Health's Centre for the Advancement of Minimally Invasive Surgery and BEAM Regional Telehealth, attendees at the CUA meeting at the Shaw Conference Center are witnessing a comparison between robotic and traditional approaches to a urology procedure (radical prostatectomy). In this unique event, both traditional and robotic surgeries are being performed simultaneously within advanced Stryker equipped operating rooms at the hospital and are being broadcast live to the conference center for comparative purposes. The conference center is 2 kilometers from where the surgeries are taking place. In order for attendees to fully experience the 3D technology employed by the surgical robot, the two high definition sources from the surgical robot (necessary for the 3D effect) are being transmitted over a high speed network using HaiVisionâs MAKO-HD codec technology. Attendees are viewing the 3D surgery using polarized glasses and Lightspeed Design, Inc's DepthQ stereoscopic processing and systems integration technology.
âThe stereo high definition video that we are receiving at the conference center is stunningâ?, states Gayle Burnett, Regional Director for Capital Healthâs Centre for the Advancement of Minimally Invasive Surgery. âMost important for the effort was to retain synchronization between the video streams so that the stereo effect is maintained. HaiVisionâs technology accomplishes this absolutely and with imperceptible latency.â?
HaiVision has a long history of enabling remote viewing of medical video, as HaiVision codecs were first used for the transmission of standard definition stereo video from the daVinci system for live telerobotic surgery demonstrations at the American Telemedicine Associate conference in 2005. HaiVisionâs newest codec, the MAKO-HD, is ideal for medical applications, supporting the highest resolution and the lowest latency (70 milliseconds) available with the latest H.264 video compression technology. HaiVision has as well introduced SHARE-HD, a network video recording system designed for medical applications capable of recording and replaying multiple synchronous high definition video streams.
The MAKO-HD is the high definition video encoder/decoder available within the hai1000 network video system and supports up to 1080p resolution. The hai1000 multi-stream system, integrated within the systems of HaiVisionâs OEM clients, is the worldâs leading codec for telepresence.

A WOMAN had liquid squirted into her face and was threatened with a knife during an attack in Newcastle.
The incident happened around 5.25pm on Tuesday (February 26) when four men forced their way into a house at Royal Crescent in the Fenham area of the city.
"One of the men threatened the occupant with what is believed to be a knife and another squirted an unknown liquid at her," said a Northumbria Police spokeswoman.
"The men then left the house. The householder was shocked by the incident, but not injured."
Nothing was taken from the house.
Det Sgt David Johnson appealed for witnesses to come forward.
"At this stage we believe that all those involved in this incident are known to each other," he said.
Two women, aged 20 and 48, have been arrested in connection with the incident and are helping with inquiries.
Anyone with information is asked to the call the non emergency 101 number, ext 69191 or ring Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Speaking before the New York State Bar Association's Criminal Justice Section, Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole unveiled the plan that seeks to determine possible clemency for inmates whose long-term incarceration "harms our criminal justice system." "

Tate Britain's triumphant new hang
Does the way in which art is displayed change our perception of it? Michael Glover looks at the new hang at Tate Britain and declares it a model makeover
Tuesday 14 May 2013
Over the past few months, Tate Britain has been undergoing slow but highly significant changes. Two long corridors of rooms – to the left and right of the Duveen Galleries – have been entirely refurbished and re-hung. And this week, with the opening of the south-east quadrant – the galleries that house works from 1930 to the present day (the date of each room is written in gold, on the floor) – the job will be complete.
The story of the development of British art from 1540 onwards will be told in its entirety, chronologically hung, and with more female painters on show than ever before. And there is one more bonus too. In the adjacent Clore Gallery, which principally houses the Turner collection, an upstairs room is now devoted to a permanent display of some of the greatest of the Tate's holdings of works by William Blake, Britain's greatest painter. Look out for the shrieking blue carpet.
Why hang works chronologically though? Isn't that what used to happen in former days at this institution? In recent years, the chronological hang has often been superseded by the themed gallery approach – Tate Modern went down this road. Theming can be a cunning trick, very useful for disguising the fact that there are huge gaps in the collection – as there were at Tate Modern when it first opened. Over at Tate Britain, chronology makes a good deal of sense. In a gallery devoted to the art of these islands, we have a yearning to see the whole story unfold, to make sense of its development.
Yet the chronological hang has its pitfalls too. There is what we can choose to call loose chronology and tight chronology. Loose chronology might bunch artists together by category – Elizabethans, Victorians, Edwardians, for example, or by some of the various "isms" created by professional art historians: Vorticism, Surrealism, Minimalism. Art professionals create structures. They teach us how to read the story of art. Regrettably, they also seem to suggest that there is a single story, their own, and that it is the correct one.
There are other problems too. When a gallery has been open for many years, favourites emerge, canonical works that must remain on display because the general public identifies the gallery with those works, and would be mightily disappointed not to see them there. Millais' Ophelia, for example. Loose chronologically, in short, can lead to dullness and predictability. We go to a museum because we know what we are going to find there. It is a form of cultural reassurance, akin to a well- padded leather armchair.
But a great museum should be more than that – and this is the problem that Tate Britain has chosen to tackle head-on. And it has done so by defining chronology in a slightly different way. Let us call this new approach tight chronology. How does it work?
The curators have been encouraged to look at the Tate's vast holdings year by year, with a plodding degree of thoroughness, in order to spot the unusual. Those many unusuals have now been deftly inserted into the story of British art. New names interrupt the flow. What is more, paintings made at about the same time – they might be separated by just a year or two – have, generally speaking, been hung close to each other so that we can see for ourselves quite how much obfuscation has gone on in the past, how many lies or half-truths the tellers of art's tale have been peddling.
Here is just one example. We find, to our surprise, that a work which we might have casually described as Victorian in impulse and style, was painted within months of one we would surely have pigeon-holed as Modernist. Sometimes there are several works on display by the same artist – but they are seldom displayed together in the same room. This hang is all about art's unpredictable ebb and flow, not art's stasis. Various works by Sickert, for example, appear in different galleries – a fairly customary townscape of Dieppe shows up in the 1890s gallery. He turns up again in the 1930s, the first of the suite of galleries in the south-east quadrant which go on display this week. By the 1930s he has changed utterly as a painter. His paintings are now based on photographic imagery – a tactic which Pop Art is wrongly said to have pioneered in the 1960s.
Because we are often accustomed to seeing works by the same artist together, gathered up into some great, posthumous retrospective (think of Lucian Freud's recent portraits' show at the National Portrait gallery), we are used to thinking about an artist's works in terms of each other. They grow out of themselves. They seem not to be emerging from the wider world of society or history at all. This hang corrects that purblind view time and again. In the gallery devoted to the 1940s, a work by Lucian Freud of a girl holding a kitten hangs next to one by Lowry of a relatively normal-looking house. We are troubled by the fact that in the usual scheme of loose art chat, Freud is somehow slightly above Lowry culturally speaking. Is high not rubbing shoulders with low in this instance then? All to the good. But what of this subject matter?
This strange, boggle-eyed girl with her strange boggle-eyed cat has often been spoken of as if it were some manifestation of the surrealist impulse – Freud was prone to that in the 1940s. When we look across at Lowry, our thinking changes. She becomes, in the clothes she is wearing, and in the company of that kitten, a small and local manifestation of 1940s domesticity who might just have lived in a house such as this one. Art history has changed in the blink of an eye.
The most dramatic change here occurs here when we shift across from the left-hand enfilade of corridors (which end with 1910) to the south-east quadrant, and enter that first new room, devoted to the art of 1930s. The presentation of the earlier centuries is fairly sober-suited because the art itself is consistently of a certain regular shape and size. When art comes to birth in the third decade of the 20th century, a great howl goes up. Sculptures shoot up totemically. Paintings posture in unusual sizes. So these new, later rooms, from first to last, are marvels of creative inconsistencies – works cluster on the walls in whispering groups. Paintings are hung at different heights on the wall. The rhythms are more excitable.
A mighty stone totemic Epstein stands in the middle of the floor, the likes of which we have surely not seen here before. Why? Because the floors could not take the weight. Now, newly strengthened, they are ready to brace themselves for everything that artists have had the gall to throw at them in the joyous near-anarchy of the later decades of the 20th century – and on. This mighty, partial survey halts, somewhat unwillingly, in 2013. There was no further to go.
In short, it's a curatorial triumph.

It seems that navigating insurance is becoming increasingly more difficult. As insurance companies are requiring additional information before providing individuals with the care and devices they are seeking, too many people are living without the tools that they need to resume an active and healthy lifestyle. In 2013 the Amputee Coalition commissioned Dr. Allen Dobson, health economist and former director of the Office of Research at CMS (then the Health Care Financing Administration) to conduct a database review study.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the long term cost benefit of
providing individuals with lower extremity mobility devices (including
orthotics and prosthetics). An extensive review of nearly 42,000 cases,
pairing those who received orthotic and prosthetic
devices with those who did not, was conducted in this groundbreaking
study. All of the cases occurred between 2007-2010 and were submitted
through the Medicare claims system.
Individuals provided with the necessary lower limb and spinal orthoses
experienced greater independence and fewer emergency room visits than
those who did not receive the devices. Those with orthotics were able
to sustain a more aggressive rehabilitation regime,
allowing them to remain in their homes and avoid costly facility-based
centers. The devices enabled the patients to remain mobile and minimized
the incidents of being bed-bound.
The results of our comprehensive study were compelling and indisputable.
Medicare could save up to 10 percent in healthcare costs ($2,920 on
average) by providing lower extremity orthoses when medically necessary.
Savings were also noted for patients who received
spinal orthoses and lower extremity prostheses versus those who went
without the devices. The results of this study have provided lawmakers
and decision makers with the concrete proof that providing the necessary
mobility devices does not increase Medicare
costs and, over the long term can actually result in cost savings. The
study clearly shows that patients who received orthotic or prosthetic
services had lower or comparable Medicare costs than patients who
needed, but did not receive, those services.
Have orthotic or prosthetic devices made an impact in your life? We need to hear from you! Please submit your story and help us make obtaining necessary devices a reality for everybody in the community.

Calling All Support Groups.
Five hundred amputations occur every single day in this country. Yet despite that overwhelming statistic, many individuals feel alone when limb-loss happens to them or to a loved one. Nobody should have to navigate through the adjustment to limb-loss alone, and this belief has remained a core value since we were founded in 1989.
We have paired the experienced amputee's desire to give back and help with the novice's quest for information and support through our support group network. Easily searchable by state, finding a limb loss support group is just a click away. We are proud that our support group network has become a valuable resource for the limb-loss community and encourage anybody interested in becoming involved with a group to check it out.
Although we have a large listing of support groups already in our network, we know that there are even more that are not yet listed. If you are a member of a support group that is not yet listed in our network, please let us know. We are striving to create the largest support group network possible so that an available group can be found regardless of geographic location. Becoming part of our network is easy and free! Simply click here and provide us with some basic information.
There is no cost to be part of our network, but the benefits are abundant. In addition to being listed on our website, the support group will receive ten copies per issue of inMotion, our magazine dedicated to providing contemporary information to the limb-loss community. Groups will also receive five copies of First Step, our comprehensive guide for adjusting to and living well with limb loss. Support group leaders also have access to our monthly conference call where we provide support and help brainstorm and collaborate with group leaders across the country. Complimentary registration for the Support Group Leader's Summit held at National Conference, is also included with membership in our network.
Support group leaders are often unsung heroes, dedicating countless hours to helping those new to limb-loss. We appreciate what you do for the community, and we want to help. Please consider submitting your group to our Support Group Network. Together, we can make sure that every amputee has access to a support group regardless of where they live.

Ask The Athlete Opportunities!
Have you ever caught yourself daydreaming about being an Olympian? Imagine yourself standing joyfully on the podium, representing your country while you proudly accept the accolades for your years of dedication and hard work. If you've ever been interested in actively pursuing your Paralympic ambitions, you don't want to miss out on our dynamic web chat series on the Amputee Coalition's Facebookpage.
We have teamed with U.S. Paralympics to bring a diverse group of Paralympians to our Facebook community. Each month a different athlete clears their schedule and answers questions posed by the community. From adjustment to limb loss, to tips for athletic training, these athletes are here to bring a unique perspective to the chats.
Our Amputee Coalition Facebook web chats provide a rare opportunity for aspiring athletes and weekend warriors to post questions directly to the experts. Last month we featured Silver medalist Mike Shea. An avid snowboarder, he was able to provide insights into his components, his training routine, as well as general tips on how to become rated and train for the Paralympics. We want to thank Mike for his time, and for sharing his experience and knowledge with our community. If you missed the chat you can catch up by reading it here.
In November, we are featuring seven-time Paralympian and right above knee amputee, Allison Jones. A well-versed athlete, Allison has competed previously in both the summer and winter games. Between her events - track and road cycling (summer) and Alpine skiing (winter), she has earned an impressive eight medals, including two gold.
We are delighted to forge this collaborative relationship with the U.S. Paralympics. With so many people becoming involved with sports, whether for competition, health reasons and/or recreation, we are excited to bring seasoned experts to talk with our community. Don't miss the next Amputee Coalition Facebook chat on November 18th from 7-8 pm (EST), and stay tuned as we host additional athletes in the coming months.

Amputee Coalition Responds to Boston Marathon Tragedy
In the wake of the explosions at the Boston Marathon, the Amputee Coalition reached out to the leaders of the New England Amputee Association to help quickly get limb loss materials to the Boston hospitals that are treating the injured. The New England Amputee Association supports amputees in Boston and the surrounding region.
"Our hearts go out to the family and friends of those killed or injured in the Boston Marathon explosions," said Kendra Calhoun, president & CEO of the Amputee Coalition. "Peer support is critical to patients who undergo limb loss. It is also important that these individuals and their families have the resources needed to help them on their journey of recovery and readjustment."
The Amputee Coalition's National Limb Loss Resource Center is the nation's leading source of information about limb loss and limb differences. The Center provides comprehensive information and resources free of charge to people with limb loss and their families and friends.

American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists Annual Meeting
Last week, the Amputee Coalition participated in AAOP's 39th Annual Academy Meeting & Scientific Symposium. The event provided an opportunity for the Amputee Coalition to get in front of practitioners from across the country and to help get materials and resources into the patient's hands. We participated in several meetings and discussions about amputee care, and the impacts of current rules, regulations, and policies on the limb loss population. The Academy's annual meeting offered a mix of clinical scientific, and practice management techniques on current topics in the O&P world and had fantastic attendance from leading professionals throughout the country.
The event was a great success and saw a significant number of practitioners interested in working and partnering more with the Amputee Coalition to provide resources and programs for their patients.
Keeping in mind that the Amputee Coalition 2013 National Conference is right around the corner, this was also a great opportunity to meet with prospective exhibitors, and to partner with new companies that have never exhibited at our conference before. There will be more to come on the Amputee Coalition's 2013 National Conference soon, but in the meantime, check out the National Conference page on our website for more information, to book your hotel room and register today!!
We look forward to seeing you at the Amputee Coalition's National Conference June 27-29th!
