18th Annual Christmas on Texas Avenue Holiday Festival, funded in part by Hotel Occupancy Tax funds.
For information: email@example.com or call 281-674-5163
Come One, Come All to a Magical Holiday Event on Texas Avenue in Historic Goose Creek, Baytown Texas.
We Appreciate the Security Provided by Constable Ken Jones
Wow! Both Santa and Mrs. Claus will return again this Holiday Season for kids, adults, and even dogs to have their pictures taken.
Take a look through the website to see what a grand time we had last season, and we are sure it will be better this year.
The goal of our nonprofit organization from Baytown is to increase the awareness of our history while preserving the commercial shopping district of days gone by. Through a collaboration of the merchants in our old downtown area, Baytown has once again proven its close knit personality. After all, we were isolated for so long, with Buffalo Bayou to the south, Burnet Bay to the west, and the San Jacinto River, Cedar Bayou, and Galveston Bay surrounding us the remainder of our perimeter, we had to rely on each other in times of need, whatever the case. Well that's something that all us Texans are famous for. And so it continues. Texas Avenue may have lost its granduer but not its personality; may have lost some of its buildings and shops but not its lure.
It is our mission to bring life again to Texas Avenue through this holiday event now in its eighteenth year.

A Subversive Soviet Treasure
Thanks to the Pacific Film Archive, an obscure treasure of Soviet silent cinema has been dusted off, tricked out, and sent into the world with the Beth Custer Ensemble's appropriately jazzed-up, noise-inflected, cartoon-crazy original scoreas well as an English voiceover translating the original titles. Made in Soviet Georgia under the influence of the Leningrad-based Factory of the Eccentric Actor (FEKS) and eccentric even by their standards, Kote Mikaberidze's all-out, joyously grotesque attack on Soviet bureaucracy is characterized by abstract constructivist sets, circus makeup, references to American slapstick, trick lenses, animation, puppets, freeze-frames, and frenzied Young Communists dancing the Charleston. The movie could bottle its attitude and sell it on the black market ("grandmother" isn't a person but a slang term for baksheesh); the final cry "Death to Red Tape!" turned out to be prophetic. My Grandmother was released in 1929the same year as such kindred extravaganzas as Dziga Vertov's Man With a Movie Camera and the FEKS masterpiece The New Babylonand banned for 37 years thereafter.

We consulted Soil Conservation Service personnel before designing this tank. The Freeze-Proof Waterer requires little maintenance and is easily installed. There are two water lines to hook up (inlet and drain). This waterer is suited for pond or spring development projects and pressure-fed systems. The combination of partially burying the tank and using the energy provides freeze-proof water at sub-freezing temperatures. The tank is easily cleaned by removing the standpipe and draining the tank.

How does it work?
► The scion will first make a connection with the root stock then root formation starts.
► The two functions do not occur at the same time. The stems and leaves do not have adequate carbohydrates to support both connection and root formation.
► After the connection of the scion and root stock there is a new vascular system.
► Through photosynthesis the leaves manufacture natural root promoting hormones and carbohydrates. The leaf produced substances move through the vascular system to the basal end.
► At the basal end the natural substances and applied Rhizopon rooting hormones work together to induce root formation!

A shark attack would only kill you without time to react if it hit enough large blood vessels to make your mean arterial pressure to drop instantly to such a low level that you lose consciousness and have simultaneous organ failure immediately. That doesn't actually happen with most shark attack victims, who are often bitten on the leg where the only real concern is the femoral artery, severance of which requires immediate clamping and subsequent medical attention but is unlikely to lead to immediate unconsciousness. You'll have time to react in most cases.
Look, surf doesn't need to be insanely high for you to get tangled in something. I don't know what type of beach you surf at but where I surf there's tons of **** that washes up on shore, including lumber and concrete with loads of ropes attached. I hate to tell you but those things are underwater too. Yeah it's unlikely that I'll be ensnared but to say it could never happen is just naive. It's rare that whitewater kayakers get ensnared in **** like that and drown too, but it's common practice for them to carry knives too—fixed blades at that. I think the risk is lower for surfers, but still there. I also make compromises for my mobility so I carry a folder (albeit fairly large) and just tuck it into my wetsuit.
As far as I'm concerned, the ocean's dangerous by its nature not by its particular geography. Some places might be more or less dangerous in different ways than others but I think to say that the ocean isn't dangerous in the northeast is just plain stupid. People die all the time in the North Atlantic, and they're not all Lobstermen . . .
I have a question: It's light, doesn't impede my mobility, and is cheap security . . . why are you reaming me out for carrying one? Why not just let well enough alone and do what you want and let me do what I want and take the chances in my life that I'm comfortable with instead of imposing your personal valuations on me?
Don't go looking for fights and my decision won't ever impact you, so why are you making such a case about it?
The same people who get pissed about wearing leashes are the same people who will ***** about the unsafeness and irresponsibility of people who drop in on them . . . Either people have responsibility to others out in the lineup or they don't . . .

I'm not saying it's a damn hippie bongo circle out in the lineup but you are responsible not to endanger the other people who have the same right to be out there as you just because think you feel "inhibited" by a leash. Just like you don't have the right to scream fire in a movie theatre. If you lose your board and it hits somebody there could be consequences the least of which should be you feeling terrible because your sense of entitlement caused someone else easily avoidable harm.
For the safety of everyone inexperienced surfers should learn somewhere uncrowded but this doesn't give anyone the right to assault somebody.
If you see someone in real peril and don't do what you can, within the limits of your own safety of course, to help them you are a sociopath. Tell everybody "you didn't owe them anything" and "weren't going to miss your waves brah" when the body washes up on the beach.

I surf strapped with my 9mm so I can shoot the less prepared knife wielding ripper. Just kidding, but one time, I had to pistol whip Earl when he got to cocky with his political tyrants during a hurricane swell in Rhode Island.

This thread is a train wreck! Let me write Leethwhatever's final chapter; Lethwhaterer suites up, looks in the mirror and says "I'm the best surfer in the world and no one will ever be better", he then paddles out into the nothshore's 30' waves, makes the line up, charges a wave, wipes out, eats coal and all the kooks laugh at his chewed up body as it washes up to shore...there, this story has an ending.

Britax recalls infant car seats, strollers, top seats
Britax is recalling infant car seats because of a fall hazard, and strollers and replacement top seats because of a choking hazard.
"Products intended to help parents care for their children must be designed and manufactured to withstand daily use, period," said Elliot F. Kaye, chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. "I urge consumers to take immediate action and contact Britax to get the free fix that addresses the danger with the carry handle on the recalled Britax infant car seats."
About 71,000 of the recalled car seats - Britax B-Safe 35 and B-Safe Elite infant car seats and travel systems - were sold in the United States, the CPSC said Thursday in an alert. Additionally, 3,900 units were sold in Canada and 990 in Mexico.
Britax advised consumers to stop carrying the car seat by the handle until the repair is installed. The company said the car seat carry handle can crack and break, allowing the seat to fall unexpectedly.
Consumers who registered their product with Britax will automatically receive a free repair kit, and others can receive a repair kit or verify registration by visiting bsafe35recall.com.
The company said one infant reportedly received a bump on the head when the carrier fell to the ground and the company has received reports of 784 handles developing cracks or breaking while in use.
The car seats were sold nationwide at stores including Babies 'R' Us, Buybuy Baby and Target as well as online at sites including Amazon.com and Diapers.com from November 2014 through January 2016 for between $210 and $250.
The recalled infant car seats and travel systems:
- B-Safe 35 model numbers: E9LU65M, E9LU65P, E9LU63F, E9LU66R, E9LS63F,
- B-Safe 35 Elite: E9LS55T, E9LS56P, E9LS55U, E9LS66C, E9LS65U
- B-Safe 35 Travel System: S914900, S915400, S915200, S921900, S01635200, S914300, S914700, S914500
About 49,000 of the recalled Britax B-Ready strollers, which present a choking hazard, were sold in the US and 11,000 in Canada, a CPSC alert said.
If a child bites the arm bar, the company said the foam padding on the bar can come off in fragments. Five children have choked or gagged or foam fragments, and 117 reports the company received noted that children had bitten the arm foam padding.
Britax advised consumers to remove the arm bar from the strollers and the replacement top seats and get in touch with Britax for a free, black, zippered arm bar cover.
The strollers were sold nationwide for about $150 at stores including Babies 'R' Us, Buybuy Baby and Target, and online sites including Amazon.com and Diapers.com from April 2010 through January 2016. Britax sold the replacement top seats from April 2010 through January 2016 for about $150.
The recalled Britax strollers and replacement top seats:
- Strollers: U281767, U281768, U281771, U281772, U281773, U281774, U281784, U281792, U281793, U281794, U281795, U281796, U281797
- Replacement top seats: S845600, S845700, S845800, S845900, S855000, S855100, S856600, S870200, S870300, S870600

En Español [JANUVIA]
Januvia is a type 2 diabetes that is also available in a combination pill (known as Janumet) that contains the drug metformin. (Janumet 50/500 is 500mg of Metformin plus 50mg of Januvia.)
Januvia Pancreatic Cancer
Januvia (sitagliptin) and Janumet (sitagliptin/metformin) are the first in a new class of oral diabetes medications, called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors that improve blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Januvia - which works by affecting different cells in the pancreas - first came on the market in late 2006. However, after that release, the FDA received dozens of reports of pancreatitis from patients who were using Januvia. For many, their symptoms were later resolved once they stopped taking the drug.
Januvia was approved by the FDA in October 2006. Between October 16, 2006 and February 9, 2009, the agency received 88 post-marketing cases of acute pancreatitis, including two cases of hemorrhagic or necrotizing pancreatitis. Sixty-six of those patients required hospitalization, and four of the patients were transferred to the intensive care unit. The FDA review of these 88 patients found that 19 patients (21 percent) of pancreatitis occurred within 30 days of starting Januvia. As well, just over half of the cases were resolved once Januvia was discontinued.
Januvia/Janumet and Pancreatic Cancer
The FDA has asked Merck to update its Januvia warning label to reflect these new dangers and include:
- Information regarding post-marketing reports of acute pancreatitis, including the severe forms, hemorrhagic or necrotizing pancreatitis.
- Recommending that healthcare professionals monitor patients carefully for the development of pancreatitis after initiation or dose increases of sitagliptin or sitagliptin/metformin, and to discontinue sitagliptin or sitagliptin/metformin if pancreatitis is suspected while using these products.
- Information noting that sitagliptin has not been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis. Therefore, it is not known whether these patients are at an increased risk for developing pancreatitis while using sitagliptin or sitagliptin/metformin.
- Sitagliptin or sitagliptin/metformin should be used with caution and with appropriate monitoring in patients with a history of pancreatitis.
A more recent study (May 2009) found that Januvia could lead to a form of low-grade pancreatitis in some patients and a higher risk of pancreatic cancer in people who use the drug over a long period of time. Although Januvia has successfully lowered blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes, health professionals are urging caution, particularly because the effect of the drug may not be evident for years. (It took more than 3 years to associate Byetta with pancreatitis and warnings have only recently been made public about Januvia, even though the FDA received adverse Januvia side effects from 2006.)
Meanwhile, a study published in 2011 in the journal Gastroenterology (07/11) found a link between the use of Januvia and an increased risk of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. According to researchers, patients who took Januvia had six times the increased risk of pancreatitis and 2.7 times the risk of pancreatic cancer. Other researchers, however, said the study was flawed and the drugs had no such increased risk.
Diabetes affects more than 23 million in the US alone and about 90-95 percent of those affected have type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is the fifth leading cause of death by disease in the US and costs approximately $132 billion per year in direct and indirect medical expenses. Furthermore, 85 percent of type 2 diabetes patients are overweight and 55 percent are considered obese.
Currently Januvia attorneys are investigating potential lawsuits against Merck & Co alleging product liability, negligence and failure to warn claims.

Local Chiropractors Discuss: Your Child's Health: Having the Right Backpack and Using It Correctly Now May Prevent Big Problems Later
Your Child's Health: Having the Right Backpack and Using It Correctly Now May Prevent Big Problems Later
Healthcare researchers and providers alike are growing increasingly concerned that American kids are suffering from back pain earlier in their lives and in larger numbers than ever before. And experts closest to the problem believe that overweight, improperly designed, and misused backpacks may be a big part of the reason why.
Short-Term Injuries and Longer-Term Concerns
With an estimated 40 million school-age children carrying backpacks in America, it's not surprising that there are some book bag-related injuries every year. Since 2000, the U.S. Product Safety Commission has reported that children and their backpacks make roughly 7,000 trips to the emergency room annually. However, many observers believe that the real toll is actually far higher since the vast majority of such injuries go unreported and many kids are treated by a family doctor or not treated at all.
While it is not clear how many acute injuries actually result from wearing backpacks as opposed to tripping over them or being hit by them, doctors who treat back problems regularly—especially chiropractic physicians—see worrying signs that heavier backpacks are setting the stage for more serious health issues in the future, including chronic back, neck and shoulder pain. Some chiropractors estimate that as many as 75% to 80% of the teenage patients they treat have postural problems directly related to overweight backpacks.
Why the Heavier Bags?
Across the past ten years, several factors have come together to increase the amount of weight young students are carrying in their book bags:
• Increases in the amount of homework being assigned to students at a younger age typically mean more heavy books carried between home and school.
• A trend toward removing lockers and individual desks from schools in many cases requires kids to carry all their belongings with them during the day.
• Reduced time between classes or fewer trips to the locker can mean heavier loads for students.
• Longer school days or increased participation in before-school and after-school activities often translates into more supplies and equipment as well as more time wearing the backpack.
The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons recommends that a backpack should not be any heavier than 15% of a child's body weight. But as early as 2001, researchers at Simmons College in Massachusetts found that 55% of the 345 children they studied were carrying backpacks that exceeded the recommended weight limit, often by a substantial amount. One third of those students said that they had already experienced back pain. Today, the American Chiropractic Association advises parents to limit the weight of a child's backpack to no more than 5% to 10% of body weight.
Warning Signs
If you see any of the following signs, it may be time to lighten the load, help your child choose a different backpack or talk about how it's being used.
• Pain in the back, neck, shoulders or knees
• Red marks left on shoulders by backpack straps
• Tingling or numbness in the arms
• Trouble getting the backpack on or off
• Bending forward or "hunching over" to shift weight from the shoulders to the back
Choosing the Right Backpack and Using it Correctly
A good quality backpack with proper ergonomic features doesn't have to be expensive. They're available at many sporting goods stores and discount outlets. Experts offer the following advice:
• Get the size and fit right first. The right backpack should fit between the top of your child's shoulders and lower back. Bigger is not better, since having more space available creates the potential for a heavier backpack.
• Find one with shoulder straps that are wide, padded and adjustable. These distribute the weight more broadly across the shoulders and chest while allowing the backpack to be fitted snuggly to your child's body.
• For older students, consider a backpack with chest straps and a hip belt. Chest straps and a hip belt redistribute weight even further and bring the pack closer to the wearer's body.
• Look for a padded back that will add comfort and protection.
• Choose a backpack with multiple smaller compartments. These help distribute the weight inside the bag and keep it stable.
Once your child has the right bag, it's just as important to encourage him or her to use it correctly. Chiropractors and physical therapists generally agree that means wearing it on both shoulders with the straps tightened so that it hangs no more than four inches below the waist.
How Your Chiropractor Can Help
Using a backpack should not cause any pain or discomfort under normal circumstances. If your child is showing signs of back, neck or should pain, we encourage you to call your chiropractic physician today. In addition to addressing any current problems that your child may be experiencing, your doctor of chiropractic can recommend an exercise program designed to strengthen muscles, and improve posture and coordination. He or she can also offer instruction about good nutrition and sleep habits that will support your child's healthy development.

BMI View : With the Pakistan Cabinet Division rejecting proposals to lower the age limit of imported cars, which are making strong inroads into the local market, domestic assemblers will need to improve efficiency in order to remain in business. With the upcoming elections, we see the government balancing a fine tightrope of giving consumers access to affordable cars and making sure businesses stay viable at the same time. We do not expect the government to further increase the age limit on imported vehicles as it would prefer to expose the local auto industry to competition more gradually.
While the recent Customs General Order (CGO) increased the import duty on all imported cars ranging from PKR50,000 to PKR750,000 (depending on the engine capacity of the car), the Cabinet Division of Pakistan recently rejected a proposal to reduce the age limit set for imported used cars from five years to three years. This would have benefitted local assemblers as the recent surge in local car imports has been hurting their sales. At the same time, the Pakistan government intends to stick to its deadline for the removal of a trade barrier negative list with India by December 2012, which would expose the domestic auto component sector to greater competition.
We believe the Pakistan government wants to slowly expose the local auto sector to greater foreign competition in order to make it more competitive. Under the Industry Specific Deletion Plan (ISDP) and Product Specific Deletion Plan, local assemblers were given incentives, such as low tariffs on imports of auto components, while they slowly increased the local content of their parts over time. However, despite a few decades of operations, locally assembled cars are still expensive as local content is still limited. This has made foreign imports of used cars attractive and has allowed them to compete strongly with expensive local cars.
|Competing Ferociously
|Nominal Value Of Pakistan Motor Vehicle Imports (USD Millions)
To be sure, local assemblers still enjoy some protection in the form of high tariffs on imported cars. However, should they fail to keep their costs down and produce more economical cars going forward, we believe used car imports will continue to grab market share. The nominal import value of vehicles has been climbing steadily and reached a high of US$205mn in June this year.
We also believe the upcoming liberalisation of trade with India will have the effect of consolidating the local auto component industry. As local auto component manufacturers compete with competitive Indian imports, they will be forced to rationalise their costs and eliminate spare capacity.
However, given the upcoming elections in the first half of 2013, we expect the government to balance the interests of consumers with that of businesses. The government wants consumers to be able to purchase new domestically assembled cars at cheaper prices and, at the same time, it wants to ensure that businesses remain viable so that they do not close and raise unemployment in the country.
Although the All Pakistan Motors Dealer Association (APMDA) is promoting its proposal to allow used vehicles up to 10 years old for commercial import, we do not believe this proposal will be passed by the government. Such a move would deal a severe blow to the local auto industry and the government will likely expose it to foreign competition more gradually so as to give it time to adjust and remain viable.

Our Story...
Marshall and Mary Rimann opened Rimann Liquors of Lenexa in the Country Hill Center on March 5, 1983. Their vision, to provide the community with an extensive wine and spirits selection, a wide array of imported and craft beers, and what today has become Rimann's trademark, in-depth customer service. The original 1,500 square foot store was enlarged and remodeled in 1989 and again in 2001 to its current 5,100 square feet.
In 1999, Marshall and Mary purchased a 700 square foot store in the Prairie Village Shopping Center. At the same time, they leased the space formerly occupied by Ambience Fur. On December 1, 1999 the new Rimann Liquors of Prairie Village opened with 4100 square feet of retail space and 2000 square feet of basement storage.
Under the leadership of Andy Wingert, Managing Partner in Lenexa, and Steve Sharpton, General Manager in Prairie Village, Rimann Liquors has built its business and reputation on friendly, courteous customer service. For three years in a row, Food & Wine Magazine included Rimann's in their list of "TOP WINE SHOPS IN AMERICA" based on selection, service and advice. Today, both Rimann Liquors of Lenexa and Prairie Village have become two of the highest volume retail liquors stores in Kansas.
The Kansas City Star recently named Marshall as "One Who Has Made A Difference" in the wine business in Kansas City.

Discussion in 'General Gun Discussions' started by Teachu2, Jan 24, 2013.
Arming themselves is a great idea, especially if the tax payers get gored in doing it, but arming anyone else must be outlawed...
Kind of funny that the answer really is more guns.
I had the unfortunate opportunity to work a stint out of the Fontana Sheriff's station, they need these without a doubt. So odd that Feinstein is wanting to ban them and make the supply dry up when schools are getting them. And with all of the "no we dont need armed guards in our schools" rhetoric.
Cops can use those weapons to protect your kids while at school, but when they get home, they are SOL. They want to stop school shootings, they couldn't care less about home invasion shootings. They don't care if kids die, they just don't want it happening on the states time and dime.
At least they got pre-craze pricing.
I love the last quote.
"In my world, everything should be peaceful, we shouldn't hate each other," said the mother of five. "However, that's not the world we're living in. We're living in a violent world, crazies are out there constantly. ... We need to be prepared."
Yep, for $25 they are carrying FULL AUTO scary guns...
wonder if they know how to use them.
I hope it comes with a 10 round magazine."The weapons, which cost $1,000 each, are high-powered weapons that are accurate at longer range
"The weapons, which cost $1,000 each, are high-powered weapons that are accurate at longer range" - How are they labeled "high powered" but I can't hunt with a 223?
Yeah, high-powered is a misnomer. Accurate at longer ranges is a good thing, however.
They aren't full auto. They are your standard semi-auto Colt 6940s.
As far as knowing how to use them, I don't know if they are or not, but there is no reason in the world they shouldn't get training in proper tactics. Tactical training is really is not that expensive (no more than say good enterprise computer training) and AR-15s are not difficult to shoot properly.
Denial is the first delusion to becoming a victim.
It never ceases to amaze me, that while I understand the maternal instinct, and the desire to have peace, glitter, and unicorns at every street corner, that utter denial of the brutal world out there is just too scary to acknowledge. A fatal mistake in far too many instances.
Yes, we need to do better...much better, and the proposed fixes have been continually shot-down (except in a few cases I may count on 1 finger), or will increase the violence by disarmament of law-abiding citizens, many, who have already, or will risk their lives to save those who would support to neuter us.
Well at least their chief has good taste in guns and he got them Colts and not some crappy brand.
I think they should be regulated to 10 rds like the rest of California's citizens though.
bout time the district is getting smart.usually campus cops only carry sidearms,maybe shotguns in the cars.some are just security guards,not even certified cops,usually with revolvers,depending on the attitude of administration.
Will these have "California compliant" stocks with no pistol grips, and non-collapsing buttstocks? I assume law enforcement has no need to "spray fire from the hip"... so... why else would they need pistol grips? Also, as there is no legitimate law enforcement application of a bayonet lug, I am going to assume those were sheared off as well?
Don't get me wrong... I fully support properly equipped law enforcement. Just seems that any ergonomic feature that makes them better shooters is equally valid for civilians.
Pistol grips and collapsible stocks are legal in CA with a bullet button. LE agencies are exempt from the bullet button requirement.
Most campus cops in California carry Glock 40s.
There is no legal requirement for a bullet button - the purpose of the button is to make the rifle non-magazine fed in the eyes of the law, thus removing it from the assault weapon ban's consideration entirely.
What CA law enforcement is exempt from is the entire ban, not just a minor requirement of it. This leaves the same question: what legitimate reason to police have to own these weapons that is not equally applicable to civilians?
Not to split hairs - just highlighting what I hope is a useful argument. I have no doubt I am preaching to the converted in your case. And you are of course correct that these will be standard configuration weapons. My question was largely facetious.
I can't imagine why police officers would NEED ar15s if they're only good for killing large numbers of people as quickly as possible.
Coming from a fellow gun owner, I really hope that is sarcasm.
I'm pretty sure it was sarcasm, DMK. It's essentially the argument we're all making regarding police exemptions - we fight the same bad guys, and are held to much the same legal standards regarding when lethal force is justified in defense. The only difference is we're not actively seeking out the bad guys.
What I loved was the host who said there is no legal requirement for citizens to use their guns responsibly. Somehow insinuating that cops should have guns because they're required not to shoot innocents, but civilians are not bound by that law, so we should get rid of guns for civilians so that we can't shoot each other. That guy made no sense at all.
Oh I'm sorry that wasn't the host. That was the mayor of some city (I believe in California).

Habs sign Denis
Lightning goaltender Marc Denis has joined the Montreal Canadiens.
EN Says: This is an odd signing for both parties. With a franchise player like Carey Price in place another solid young goaltender in Jaroslav Halak backing him up, why would the Habs feel it necessary to bring in a reclamation project like Denis?
A former first-round pick of the Avalanche, Denis was seen as the future in net in both Columbus and Tampa Bay but never lived up to expectations. He was a colossal bust in Tampa Bay. Obviously beggars can't be choosers. Denis should be happy anyone is interested in his servies, but what kind of chance is he going to get behind Price and Halak?

History of the Games
The concept for the Paralympic Games was devised by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, an English neurosurgeon, in 1948 to provide athletic therapytreatment of a disease or disorder through a remedial process. for people in wheelchairs. Under Guttman's guidance, radical changes in the methods of treating people with spinal cordcord of nerve tissue extending through the spinal canal of the spinal column. injuries were introduced. Guttman recognized the value of recreation and sport as a catalyst for rehabilitationto restore to good health through therapy after sickness or an accident. therapy and as a means to prevent boredom.
Some of the factors to evolve during this period after World War II which significantly influenced the development of sport for people with a disabilityA Disability is generally a condition either caused by accident, trauma, genetics or disease, which may restrict a person's mental processes, senses or mobility. included:
- The rapid advances in medical technology and care which resulted in better opportunities for survival from injuryharm or damage that it done. or illness;
- the increased need to improve the quality of life of the thousands of military and civilian casualties who were left with permanent physical disabilities; and
- the development of specialist spinal injuries unit.
Guttman organised the first International Wheelchair Games to coincide with the 1948 LondonHome of the 2012 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. Olympic GamesThe Olympic Games are an international event of summer and winter sports, in which thousands of athletes compete in a wide variety of events. The Games are held every two years, with Summer and Winter Olympic Games alternating.. Held at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury, England with just a few athletes, the events were more about enhancing the quality of life for people with spinal cord injuries than about competition.
In 1952, the Games became the International Stoke Mandeville Games (ISMG) when a small team of Dutch war veterans travelled to England to compete against the British athletes.
A deliberate attempt to connect the Olympic and Paralympic Games was not made until 1960 when the first Paralympic Games were held in Rome with 400 athletes from 23 countries participating. Athletes competed in archery, basketball, fencing, javelin, shotput and three swimming events. Since then the Olympic and Paralympic Games have led a parallelbeside; alongside; next to existence, being held in the same country or city whenever possible.
Governed by the International Paralympic Committee (IPCInternational Paralympic Committee - International governing body of Paralympic sport.) and recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the Paralympic Games has experienced phenomenal growth. At the 1988 Seoul Paralympic Games, television rights were sold and a world wide audience was able to watch the Games and witness the commitment and prowess of the Paralympic competitors.
Today the Paralympic Games is one of the largest events in the world, eclipsing in size the Commonwealth GamesThe Commonwealth Games is a multinational, multi-sport event. Held every four years, it involves the elite athletes of the Commonwealth of Nations.. 146 nations sent 3,951 athletes to compete at the 2008 BeijingHome of the 2008 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. Paralympic Games, including 179 athletes from Australia making it the second largest sporting event after the Olympic Games.
Sir Ludwig Guttman died in 1980 but his vision for athletes with a disability continues. The ParalympicsGames held in parallel (or beside) the Olympic Games for athletes with disabilities. now showcases the world's elite athletes with a disability in a rigorous sporting competition where they thrill spectators, young and old, who fill the stadiums and amaze a potential international television audience of millions.
