Overwhelmed at the thought of un-cluttering your piles? Breakthrough these 3 common blockers
Among baby boomers and their parents there is, perhaps, no subject that garners more discussion and often agreement than that of health and wellness. Older adults seem to be the healthiest that have ever lived (thanks in great part to medical technology) and the boomers seem to be quite knowledgeable about accessing the ever expanding field of health related issues, from supplements to yoga to massage therapy and more. Thirty some years ago these generations may have been "at war" over such issues as Viet-Nam, Watergate, music, hair, civil rights and social justice. Now, more often than not, these generations are united in issues surrounding health care, care-giving and entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security.
We'll be looking at a variety of issues that touch on the issues of Health and Wellness in future pages of jewishsacredaging.

Charlie Adam's goal early in the second half gave Stoke a 1-0 win over Norwich to all but end their relegation fears. Adam latched onto a Peter Crouch knockdown and swept the ball past Mark Bunn to secure a vital victory in a scrappy game at the Britannia Stadium. The Potters have now reached the 40-point mark that has always been Tony Pulis' target, while the Canaries could still need one more win as they remain down on 38 points.

AT&T Opens Up FaceTime to iOS Customers with Any Tiered Plan
Tiffany Kaiser
January 17, 2013 10:43 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: donthatethegeek.com)
This applies to customers like those with an iPhone 4S and a tiered plan who want to make FaceTime calls over a cellular network
After realizing that it was the only U.S. carrier charging customers extra for FaceTime, AT&T has slowly expanded the service to more customers for free. That expansion continued this week.
AT&T's Mark Collins announced in the AT&T Consumer Blog that customers with any tiered data plan with a compatible iOS device can use FaceTime for no extra charge. This applies to customers like those with an iPhone 4S and a tiered plan who want to make FaceTime calls over a cellular network.
"We have already begun updating our systems and processes and expect to start rolling the update out to customers on an ongoing basis beginning in the next couple of weeks," wrote Collins. "Customers do not need to do anything—the update will be applied automatically over the next few months."
Back in August 2012, AT&T enabled FaceTime over 3G and 4G, but
limited it to Mobile Share data plans
. The company received plenty of criticism for this move, and even had threats of a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) investigation. AT&T said it didn't
violate the FCC's two main rules
making business practices and information transparent, and not blocking applications that may compete with their own
. AT&T later got a FCC
net neutrality complaint
This changed AT&T's tune real quick. In November, the carrier
enabled FaceTime over Cellular for iOS 6 users on any tiered data plan for free. But the user was required to have
an LTE device
, and customers with grandfathered unlimited plans were still left out of the loop.
Later that same month,
AT&T made FaceTime available
to even more customers, including
those with the iPhone 4S. This meant it was available for free to iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 3rd generation and higher users.
FaceTime has always been available to iPhone 4/4S/5 customers over a Wi-Fi network
Verizon and Sprint
, the only other main U.S. carriers that offer the iPhone other than AT&T, never charged extra for FaceTime over 3G or LTE networks.
"Spreading the rumors, it's very easy because the people who write about Apple want that story, and you can claim its credible because you spoke to someone at Apple." -- Investment guru Jim Cramer

Product Reviews:1 user rated out of 5 stars
This is a sturdy middle weight canvas bag, not as ridge as some well know boat bags, but not flimsy. The bottom of the bag is strong and once things were put inside, the bag stood upright with out falling over or drooping down. I sewed on logo patches with no issues. I question why the picture on the web site was for a true red bag on a rather white looking bag (which was what I wanted), but only a burgundy on a very creamy canvas could be ordered in the red family. - JAM

Kogod Decision Criteria: Studying in Washington, DC makes sense to me because Sustainability Management is a field closely tied to business and politics. The campus location gives us the opportunity to have amazing speakers come to class, be close to opportunities within business, NGOs, and government agencies, as well as get an understanding of what forces are driving sustainability, and what forces are at play when business laws are made.
Kogod Value: I have been really impressed with great speakers who have come to our classes, the most impressive being the Deputy Administrator of the EPA. I also like the friendly professors and small class sizes.

Items sent in the mail can also be creative and unique such as origami style folded gifts, printing a message on a balloon that can only be read once blown up or sending custom wedding koozies for your guests to enjoy at home and on bring on the day!
- J is for Jewellery
Wedding jewellery can be simple and sophisticated or bold and colorful. This is a very personal choice that that bride will make when choosing her wedding dress and bridal party attire.
Sometimes traditional jewellery will be passed down the generations within a family, bridal accessories can include earrings, bracelets, tiaras and hair combs to name a few.
- K is for Kiss
"You may now kiss the bride"… the words that the groom has been waiting for all day! Many couples will have a discussion prior to the wedding about the kiss, some even finding this the moment that makes them most nervous! Questions like, how long should it be? Should it be a full-on smooch? Or just a peck? What is the etiquette in wedding kisses? The answer to which is that there is not really an etiquette, just show each other how happy you are to be making this promise to each other and show this off to your guests, just bear in mind that you might be in front of your parents, grandparents and young children.

Marin / Green Flash Wimpys IPA
RATINGS: 2 MEAN: 3.75/5.0 WEIGHTED AVG: 3/5 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 99 ABV: 3.3%
On Monday, February 11, 2013, Chuck Silva from Green Flash Brewing in San Diego and Arne Johnson of Marin Brewing got together to brew a new, one-off collaborative beer at Marin Brewing Company. The brew is a very sessionable Rye IPA. A true session beer at 3.3% ABV, Wimpys IPA will appeal to hopheads that are not seeking a high alcohol brew. Wimpys was made with a blend of European base malts and about 17% malted rye. The hops utilized were two relatively new varieties, Columbia and El Dorado. A few pounds of whole leaf Columbia hops were added to the mash, and the El Dorados were used for all of the kettle and dry hop additions. Over two pounds of hops per barrel were utilized. A high mash temperature was employed to ensure a solid mouthfeel in the finished product. Wimpys IPA will be available only on draught at Marin Brewing Companys Pub and the Green Flash Tasting Room, and select accounts in the Bay Area and Southern California. The scheduled release date is February 28, 2013. Only 13 barrels were produced, so make sure to seek it out before it is gone.

In order to reach our $15 million goal and fully fund every aspect of our bold new initiative, it is important that each individual of our church is involved. Every gift will not be the same, but each gift is vital.
Along with your Impact 2020 pledge, give an additional one-time gift given in 2015.
Dear People of Lake Pointe,
It is amazing what God has done through the people of Lake Pointe over the past 35 years. Our church has grown from seven families in a bait house to thousands of people meeting each week in 23 services on nine different campuses. During that same time, God has used us to plant 25 new churches in spiritually under-resourced regions in cities like San Francisco, Boston, Denver, and Las Vegas. Last Easter, 30,000 people gathered at our local campuses while an additional 30,000 people were present at those 25 new churches.
This fall we are launching a new initiative we are calling IMPACT 2020. IMPACT 2020 is about investing in the future, investing in our facilities and investing in our friends. This vision has the potential of accelerating our plans to reach the local communities where we have campuses and planting a dozen new churches nationally while increasing our support to our long-term partnerships around the world.
Can a local church really make an impact on a world with so many desperate needs? I believe we already have and can have an even greater impact. We will do so one life, one community and one nation at a time!
Pastor Steve
On Mission Initiatives Providing ongoing support for:
» 19 Local Partners

We are partnering with 19 local churches and agencies to share the love of Christ in the Dallas Metroplex.
We have started 25 churches in spiritually under-resourced cities such as Boston, San Francisco and Las Vegas.
Last Easter, 30,000 people gathered at our local campuses while over 30,000 additional people gathered at the 25 churches that Lake Pointe has planted in spiritually under-resourced cities around our nation.
Lake Pointe Church is considered one of the top pacesetting churches in the world when it comes to being on mission.
Long-term partnerships have been developed with 21 churches and ministries all around the world.
Real Life Campuses: Hays County, Austin and Corpus Christi
» New Land for Austin Campus
» Additional Land for Hays County Campus
» Building Renovation for Corpus Campus
On July 1, 2015, Real Life Church in Austin and Corpus Christi became a part of the Lake Pointe family. Real Life currently consists of one campus meeting in their own building in Corpus, one meeting in Hays County in an elementary school, and one meeting in an Austin high school.
Hays County campus already owns land, and adjacent land has become available that will make a future building there more viable. The Austin campus is attempting to purchase a separate 24-acre tract of land near their target area.
The Corpus campus sustained extensive damage during a recent storm and will be renovating, repairing and upgrading the children's area affected by the storm.
Rockwall Campus
» Additional Parking and Storage
» New Roof for the Rockwall Auditorium
» Needed Upgrades for the Rockwall Student Center
» New Venue Construction for our Hispanic and Classic Services
On July 1, 1996, Lake Pointe moved from a 19-acre site and 1,300-seat auditorium on Dalrock Road to its current 36 acres and almost 5,000-seat auditorium. Through a miracle from God, Lake Pointe did so with no increase to its annual mortgage cost. Over the years, the church has continued to grow in this location while adding parking and education space for all ages. Continued growth has necessitated additional expansions and upgrades once again.

Clinico-microbiological study and antimicrobial drug resistance profile of diabetic foot infections in North IndiaMohammad Zubair | Abida Malik | Jamal Ahmad
Volume 21, Issue 1, March 2011, Pages 6-14
The study was carried out in diabetic patients with foot ulcer to determine the microbiological profile of infected ulcer, antibiotic resistance of the isolates and to find out the potential risk factors for infection with multidrug resistance and the outcome of these infections. A detailed clinical history and physical examination was carried out in each patient. Pus samples for bacterial culture were collected from 102 patients admitted with diabetic foot infections. All patients had ulcer with Texas grades 1-3. Seventeen patients (16.6%) had coexisting osteomyelitis. Aerobic gram negative bacilli were tested for extended spectrum β lactamase (ESBL) production by phenotypic and genotypic methods. Staphylococcus isolates were tested for susceptibility to oxacillin and cefoxitin by disk method. Potential risk factors for MDRO positive samples were explored. Gram negative aerobes were most frequently isolated (63.8%), followed by gram positive aerobes (36.1%) and anaerobes (31.4%). Forty five percent of patients were positive for MDROs. ESBL production and methicillin resistant was noted in 68.5% and 43.2% of bacterial isolates respectively. 34.5% gram negative strains were positive for blaCTX-M gene followed by blaSHV (23%) and blaTEM (7.4%). Among the anaerobic organism 17(31.4%) from 54 patients, most commonly isolated were Peptostreptococcus sp. (35.2%). MDRO positive status was associated with the presence of neuropathy (P<0.001), osteomyelitis (P<0.001), and ulcer size >4cm2 (P<0.001) but not with patients characteristic, ulcer type and type of diabetes, or duration of hospital stay. Poor glycemic control in 68.6% patients, duration of infection>1 month (36.2%) and ulcer size>4cm2 (75.4%) were independently associated with risk of MDR organisms infection. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Analysis of footprint and its parts for stature estimation in Indian populationTanuj Kanchan | Kewal Krishan | S. ShyamSundar | K. R. Aparna | Sankalp Jaiswal
Volume 22, Issue 3, September 2012, Pages 175-180
Background: Most often, forensic podiatrists are called upon in crime scene investigations where pedal evidence is encountered at the crime scenes. The main aim of the forensic podiatrist is such case is to contribute towards the establishment of the identity of the suspects on the basis of the evidence. One form of the pedal evidence is footprints that are often recovered at the crime scenes. Estimation of stature from footprints forms a major parameter of personal identification in forensic examinations. Objectives: The main aim of the present study is to make stature estimation standards based on detailed analysis of length measurements of footprints in Indian population using statistical considerations. Methods: A sample of 100 young adults (50 males and 50 females) was included in the study conducted at the Department of Forensic Medicine, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, India. Footprints were obtained from both the feet of each subject. Besides stature, five length measurements i.e. T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 were measured on both the footprints of each subject using international standards. Bilateral asymmetry in the measurements on footprints was calculated and tested using paired t-test. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated between stature and various footprint length measurements and the stature was estimated using linear and multiple regression analysis. Results: Our study observes a statistically significant sex difference (p<0.001) in the footprint length measurements between males and females in both right and left feet. A positive and strong correlation exists between various length measurements of the footprint and stature in both the sexes. Males show relatively higher values of correlation coefficients than females. Bilateral differences (right - left differences) were also observed in some of the footprint length measurements among males and females. Linear and multiple regression models are derived for estimation of stature from various footprint length measurements in males, females and for the pooled sample. Conclusions: The footprints can provide a reliable estimate of stature in forensic investigations. Sex specific regression models give a more accurate estimate of stature than the pooled sample. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Intra-articular corticosteroid injections: A critical literature review with up-to-date findingsBrian Pekarek | Lawrence Osher | Stacie Buck | Michael Bowen
Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 66-70
Intra-articular corticosteroid injections are frequently used in the management of both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, with most evidence and articles confined to the knee joint. There are few articles that deal with intra-articular corticosteroid injections in the foot and ankle. The aim of this critical literature review is to find the most up-to-date material on intra-articular corticosteroid injections for the foot and ankle. This article will review: effects of corticosteroids; pharmacology of injectable corticosteroids; mechanism of action; indications and contraindications; agents and the dosages; adverse effects; and injection techniques. All Foreign and English language journals were searched. Please refer to Section 2 for search criteria. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
The treatment of intractable plantar fasciitis with platelet-rich plasma injectionVishwajeet Kumar | Tim Millar | Philip N. Murphy | Tim Clough
Volume 23, Issues 2-3, June 2013, Pages 74-77
Background: Whilst most cases of plantar fasciitis can be settled with existing conservative treatment, a few intractable cases can be difficult to resolve. New biologic treatments have been proposed for a variety of soft tissue problems. Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness of platelet rich plasma (PRP) in chronic cases of plantar fasciitis. Patients and methods: Patients with plantar fasciitis not responded to a minimum of 1 year standard conservative management were offered PRP therapy. Injections were performed in theatre as a day case. Roles-Maudsley (RM) scores, Visual Analogue Scores (VAS), AOFAS scores and 'would have injection again' were collated pre-operatively, three and six months. Results: Prospective data was collected of 50 heels (44 patients). At six month review, RM score improved from mean 4 to 2 (p< 0.001), VAS improved from 7.7 to 4.2 (p < 0.001) and AOFAS improved from 60.6 to 81.9 (p < 0.001). 28 patients (64%) were very satisfied and would have the injection again. No complications were reported. Conclusion: In these chronic cases, PRP produce an efficacy rate, approaching 2 out of every 3. The procedure was safe with no reported complications. The authors feel PRP may have some role in treatment, and merits further study with a prospective randomised trial. © 2013.
The MOXFQ patient-reported questionnaire: Assessment of data quality, reliability and validity in relation to foot and ankle surgeryJ. Dawson | I. Boller | H. Doll | G. Lavis | R. Sharp | P. Cooke | C. Jenkinson
Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 92-102
Previously validated for hallux valgus surgery, the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ) is here evaluated for use with different regions of the foot and ankle. The study recruited 671 consecutive patients (87.8% of those eligible), mean age 52.8. years, 64% female, who completed the MOXFQ and SF-36 general health survey before foot or ankle surgery. Surgeons completed the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) scales and indicated that the patients' main regions for surgery were: Hallux 210 (31.3%), Lesser toes 119 (17.7%), Mid foot 22 (3.3%), Ankle/hind foot 311 (46.3%), Multiple/whole foot 9 (1.3%). Individual MOXFQ items were assessed in terms of response rate and floor/ceiling effects, with the validity of the three MOXFQ scales (Walking/standing, Pain, and Social interaction) being assessed in terms of item-total correlations, internal and test-retest reliability, and construct validity. MOXFQ item response rates were high (all >98%). Cronbach's alphas of >0.7 confirmed internal consistency of all three scales. Test-retest ICCs were all ≥0.89. Correlations of >0.4 obtained with related SF-36 and AOFAS scales supported a priori hypotheses. Good measurement properties are confirmed for the MOXFQ in the context of baseline assessment of patients receiving surgery for a variety of foot or ankle problems. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Incidence, risk factors for amputation among patients with diabetic foot ulcer in a North Indian tertiary care hospitalMohammad Zubair | Abida Malik | Jamal Ahmad
Volume 22, Issue 1, March 2012, Pages 24-30
Objective: Aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for amputation among patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Research design and methods: We performed a prospective study of 162 DFU in patients treated in a multidisciplinary based diabetes and endocrinology centre of Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College of Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India during the period of December 2008-March 2011. Detailed history and physical examination was carried out for every subject. Risk factors for amputation were determined by univariate analysis with 95% of CI. Results: The overall amputation rate was 28.4%. On univariate analysis, male sex [OR 2.8, RR 1.28], hypertension [OR 2.83, RR 1.31], neuropathy [OR 3.01, RR 1.35], nephropathy [OR 2.24, RR 1.26], LDL-C (>100. mg/dl) [OR 2.53, RR 1.28], total cholesterol (>150. mg/dl) [OR 3.74, RR 1.52],HDLC(<40. mg/dl) [OR 1.19, RR 1.18], triglycerides (>200. mg/dl) [OR 5.44, RR1.76], previous antibiotic use [OR 9.12, RR 1.92], osteomyelitis [OR 6.97, RR 2.43] and biofilm infection [OR 4.52, RR 1.41] were significant risk factors. Conclusion: The risk factors for amputation were presence of PVD, leukocytosis, neuropathy, nephropathy, hypertension, dyslipidemia, over use of antibiotics, osteomyelitis, biofilm production and higher grade of ulcer. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
The demand incidence of symptomatic ankle osteoarthritis presenting to foot & ankle surgeons in the United KingdomAndrew J. Goldberg | Alex MacGregor | Jill Dawson | Dishan Singh | Nick Cullen | Robert J. Sharp | Paul H. Cooke
Volume 22, Issue 3, September 2012, Pages 163-166
Background: Ankle arthritis is a cause of major disability; however reports in the literature on the incidence of ankle osteoarthritis are rare. Objectives: To explore the methodological challenges in obtaining an incidence of ankle osteoarthritis and to estimate the incidence of symptomatic osteoarthritis presenting to Foot & Ankle specialists in the UK. Methods: We searched available national diagnosis databases and also sent out a questionnaire-based survey to all Consultant members of the British Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (n=180). Results: 123 completed survey questionnaires were returned (68%) with each surgeon seeing on average 160 cases of symptomatic ankle arthritis and performing on average 20 definitive procedures for end-stage ankle osteoarthritis per year. There are no internationally agreed diagnostic or treatment codes specific for ankle osteoarthritis. Conclusion: There are an estimated 29,000 cases of symptomatic ankle osteoarthritis being referred to specialists in the UK, representing a demand incidence of 47.7 per 100,000. 3000 definitive operations to treat end stage ankle osteoarthritis take place in the UK annually. We recommend that specific codes pertaining to ankle arthritis and its treatment be included in any future revisions of the WHO International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and operative procedure coding systems. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Manual and manipulative therapy compared to night splint for symptomatic hallux abducto valgus: An exploratory randomised clinical trialMorne du Plessis | Bernhard Zipfel | James W. Brantingham | Gregory F. Parkin-Smith | Paul Birdsey | Gary Globe | Tammy K. Cassa
Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 71-78
Context: Hallux abducto valgus (HAV) is a frequent cause of great toe pain and disability, yet common treatments are only supported by mixed or equivocal research findings. Surgery often only provides modest improvement and post-surgery complications may significantly hamper outcomes, implying the need for trials testing conservative treatment, such as manual and manipulative therapy, particularly in cases where surgery may be contraindicated or premature. The purpose of this exploratory trial was to test an innovative protocol of manual and manipulative therapy (MMT) and compare it to standard care of a night splint(s) for symptomatic mild to moderate HAV, with a view gather insight into the effectiveness of MMT and inform the design of a definitive trial. Design: Parallel-group randomised trial set in an out-patient teaching clinic. Participants: A convenience sample of 75 patients was assessed for eligibility, with 30 participants (15 per group) being consented and randomly allocated to either the control group (standard care with a night splint) or the experimental group (MMT). Intervention: Participants in the control group used a night splint(s) and those in the experimental group (MMT) received a structured protocol of MMT, with the participants in the experimental group receiving 4 treatments over a 2-week period. Outcome measures: Visual analogue scale (HAV-related pain), foot function index (HAV-related disability) and hallux dorsiflexion (goniometry). Results: There were no participant dropouts and no data was missing. There were no statistical (p< 0.05) or clinically meaningful differences (MCID < 20%) between the two groups based on outcome measure scores. However, the outcome measure scores in the control group (night splint) regressed between the 1-week follow-up and 1-month follow-up, while the scores in the experimental group (MMT) were sustained up to the 1-month follow-up. The within-group data analysis produced statistically and clinically significant changes from baseline to the 1-week flow-up across all outcome measures. Post hoc power analysis and sample size calculations suggest that the average between group power of this trial was approximately 60% (ES = 0.33) and that a definitive trial would require a minimum of 102 participants per group (N= 204) to achieve satisfactory power of ≥80%. Conclusions: The trend in results of this trial suggest that an innovative structured protocol of manual and manipulative therapy (experimental group) is equivalent to standard care of a night splint(s) (control group) for symptomatic mild to moderate HAV in the short term. The protocol of MMT maintains its treatment effect from 1-week to 1-month follow-up without further treatment, while patients receiving standard care seem to regress when not using the night splint. Insights from this study support further testing of MMT for symptomatic mild to moderate HAV, particularly where surgery is premature or where surgical outcomes may be equivocal, and serve to inform the design of a future definitive trial. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Joint preserving surgery for rheumatoid forefoot deformities improves pain and corrects deformity at midterm follow-upMainudden Bhavikatti | Mathew David Sewell | Nawfal Al-Hadithy | Sarfraz Awan | M. A. Bawarish
Volume 22, Issue 2, June 2012, Pages 81-84
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disorder that commonly affects the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints. Conventional surgical treatment involves joint-sacrificing surgery to relieve pain and correct deformity. Objectives: We retrospectively reviewed 49 patients with rheumatoid forefoot deformities who underwent 66 joint preserving procedures with Scarf osteotomy of the first metatarsal and Weil's shortening osteotomy of the lesser metatarsals. Method: There were 5 males and 44 females with mean age 56.1 years and mean follow-up 51 months. All patients were evaluated clinically and radiologically with hallux valgus angle (HVA) and inter-metatarsal angle (IMA). Results: Mean AOFAS score improved from 39.8 preoperatively to 88.7 at final follow-up. Subjectively patients reported their outcome as excellent in 49 feet (74%), good in 9 feet, fair in 7 feet and poor in 1 foot. Five feet had residual stiffness and 11 residual pain. Mean HVA and IMA decreased from 32° to 14° and from 15° to 11° respectively. Conclusion: In intermediate to severe stages of the disease, joint preserving surgery by Scarf osteotomy of the first MTP joint and Weil osteotomy of the lesser metatarsals may be performed as an alternative to joint-sacrificing procedures and should be considered as a complement to the various surgical treatments of the rheumatoid forefoot. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Muscle strength and ankle mobility for the gait parameters in diabetic neuropathiesAlessandra Rezende Martinelli | Alessandra Madia Mantovani | Andrea Jeanne Lourenço Nozabieli | Dalva Minonroze Albuquerque Ferreira | José Angelo Barela | Marcela Regina de Camargo | Cristina Elena Prado Teles Fregonesi
Volume 23, Issue 1, March 2013, Pages 17-21
Aims: To evaluate the spatio-temporal variables of gait and the isometric muscle strength component of the ankle in patients with peripheral diabetic neuropathy. Also, verify the relationship between these variables and gait parameters. Methods: This study involved 25 diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) participants (62.4 ± 8.36 years) and 27 age-matched healthy control individuals (64.48 ± 6.21 years). The assessment of the spatio-temporal parameters of gait was performed using an electronic baropodometry treadmill. Prior to the collection data, each participant was instructed to walk on the treadmill in her/his habitual self-selected speed. Results: Diabetic neuropathy group showed impairment of gait, with a smaller stride and length speed of the cycle, and increased duration of support time. Restricted dorsiflexion mobility and increased plantarflexion mobility were found, with a decrease in muscle strength of the dorsiflexors and plantiflexors. There was a significant relationship between plantiflexor muscle strength and the length and speed of the gait cycle. Also the muscle strengths of the plantiflexors and dorsiflexors, and the range of motion of dorsiflexion were predictors of gait performance. Conclusions: The ankle, muscle strength and ankle mobility variables could explain changes in gait speed and range of motion in patients with DPN, allowing for the application of preventive strategies. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Plantar fasciitis (fasciosis) treatment outcome study: Plantar fascia thickness measured by ultrasound and correlated with patient self-reported improvementJerry M. Fabrikant | Tae Soon Park
Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 79-83
Ultrasound, well recognized as an effective diagnostic tool, reveals a thickening of the plantar fascia in patients with plantar fasciitis/fasciosis disease. The authors hypothesized that ultrasound would also reveal a decrease in the plantar fascia thickness for patients undergoing treatment for the disease, a hypothesis that, heretofore, had been only tested on a limited number of subjects. They conducted a more statistically significant study that found that clinical treatment with injection and biomechanical correction does indeed diminish plantar fascia thickness as shown on ultrasound. The study also revealed that patients experience the most heightened plantar fascia tenderness toward the end of the day, and improvement in their symptomatic complaints were associated with a reduction in plantar fascia thickness. As a result, the authors conclude that office-based ultrasound can help diagnose and confirm plantar fasciitis/fasciosis through the measurement of the plantar fascia thickness. Because of the advantages of ultrasound-that it is non-invasive with greater patient acceptance, cost effective and radiation-free-the imaging tool should be considered and implemented early in the diagnosis and treatment of plantar fasciitis/fasciosis. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Evolution of the Achilles tendon: The athlete's Achilles heel?S. Malvankar | W. S. Khan

The Achilles tendon is believed to have first developed two million years ago enabling humans to run twice as fast. However if the Achilles tendon is so important in terms of evolution, then why is this tendon so prone to injury - especially for those more active like athletes. The Achilles tendon had an integral role in evolving apes from a herbivorous diet to early humans who started hunting for food over longer distances, resulting in bipedal locomotion. Evolutionary advantages of the Achilles tendon includes it being the strongest tendon in the body, having an energy-saving mechanism for fast locomotion, allows humans to jump and run, and additionally is a spring and shock absorber during gait. Considering these benefits it is therefore not surprising that studies have shown athletes have thicker Achilles tendons than subjects who are less active. However, contradictory to these findings that show the importance of the Achilles tendon for athletes, it is well known that obtaining an Achilles tendon injury for an athlete can be career-altering. A disadvantage of the Achilles tendon is that the aetiology of its pathology is complicated. Achilles tendon ruptures are believed to be caused by overloading the tensed tendon, like during sports. However studies have also shown athlete Achilles tendon ruptures to have degenerative changes in the tendon. Other flaws of the Achilles tendon are its non-uniform vascularity and incomplete repair system which may suggest the Achilles tendon is on the edge of evolution. Research has shown that there is a genetic influence on the predisposition a person has towards Achilles tendon injuries. So if this tendon is here to stay in our anatomy, and it probably is due to the slow rate of evolution in humans, research in genetic modification could be used to decrease athletes' predisposition to Achilles tendinopathy. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
The relationship between foot motion and lumbopelvic-hip function: A review of the literatureAlex Barwick | Josephine Smith | Vivienne Chuter
Volume 22, Issue 3, September 2012, Pages 224-231
Excessive pronation has been implicated in the development of numerous overuse injuries of the lower limb and is suggested to cause more proximal biomechanical dysfunction. Functional foot orthoses (FFO) are frequently prescribed for lower limb injury associated with excessive foot pronation and have been demonstrated to have efficacy with specific conditions. However, the mechanism of action of FFO is largely unknown. Research investigating the kinematic and kinetic changes associated with FFO use is inconclusive. Furthermore there is a growing body of evidence suggesting that changes to muscle activity patterns in response to FFO may be responsible for their therapeutic effect. Additionally, current research suggests dysfunction of musculature of the lumbopelvic-hip complex is involved in lower extremity functional changes and is related to the development some pathologies traditionally attributed to excessive foot pronation. Evidence of temporal coupling between the hip and the foot and changes in hip muscle activity associated with FFO use further suggest a relationship between proximal and distal lower limb function. The aim of this review is to discuss the association between foot and lumbopelvic-hip complex dysfunction and injury, assess the evidence for functional changes to lower limb and lumbopelvic-hip function with FFO use and finally to discuss the potential for changes to hip musculature activation with FFO use to influence distal mechanics and produce a therapeutic benefit. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Diagnostic performance of Fluorine-18-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography for the diagnosis of osteomyelitis related to diabetic foot: A systematic review and a meta-analysisGiorgio Treglia | Ramin Sadeghi | Salvatore Annunziata | Seyed Rasoul Zakavi | Carmelo Caldarella | Barbara Muoio | Francesco Bertagna | Luca Ceriani | Luca Giovanella
Volume 23, Issue 4, December 2013, Pages 140-148
Objective: To systematically review and meta-analyse published data about the diagnostic performance of Fluorine-18-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and PET/computed tomography (PET/CT) in osteomyelitis related to diabetic foot. Methods: A comprehensive literature search of studies on 18F-FDG-PET and PET/CT in patients with diabetic foot was performed. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratio (LR+ and LR-) and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and area under the summary ROC curve of 18F-FDG-PET and PET/CT in patients with osteomyelitis related to diabetic foot were calculated. Results: Nine studies comprising 299 patients with diabetic foot were included in the qualitative analysis (systematic review) and discussed. The quantitative analysis (meta-analysis) of four selected studies provided the following results on a per patient-based analysis: sensitivity was 74% [95% confidence interval (95%CI): 60-85%], specificity 91% (95%CI: 85-96%), LR+ 5.56 (95%CI: 2.02-15.27), LR- 0.37 (95%CI: 0.10-1.35), and DOR 16.96 (95%CI: 2.06-139.66). The area under the summary ROC curve was 0.874. Conclusions: In patients with suspected osteomyelitis related to diabetic foot 18F-FDG-PET and PET/CT demonstrated a high specificity, being potentially useful tools if combined with other imaging methods such as MRI. Nevertheless, the literature focusing on the use of 18F-FDG-PET and PET/CT in this setting remains still limited. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Preliminary investigation of foot pressure distribution variation in men and women adults while standingR. Periyasamy | A. Mishra | Sneh Anand | A. C. Ammini
Volume 21, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 142-148
Background: Women and men are anatomically and physiologically different in a number of ways. They differ in both shape and size. These differences could potentially mean foot pressure distribution variation in men and women. The purpose of this study was to analyze standing foot pressure image to obtain the foot pressure distribution parameter - power ratio variation between men and women using image processing in frequency domain. Methods: We examined 28 healthy adult subjects (14 men and 14 women) aged between 20 and 45 years was recruited for our study. Foot pressure distribution patterns while standing are obtained by using a PedoPowerGraph plantar pressure measurement system for foot image formation, a digital camera for image capturing, a TV tuner PC-add on card, a WinDvr software for still capture and Matlab software with dedicated image processing algorithms have been developed. Various PedoPowerGraphic parameters such as percentage medial impulse (PMI), fore foot to hind foot pressure distribution ratio (F/H), big toe to fore foot pressure distribution ratio (B/F) and power ratio (PR) were evaluated. Results: In men, contact area was significantly larger in all regions of the foot compared with women. There were significant differences in plantar pressure distribution but there was no significant difference in F/H and B/F ratio. Mean PR value was significantly greater in men than women under the hind foot and fore foot. PMI value was greater in women than men. As compared to men, women have maximum PR variations in the mid foot. Hence there is significant difference at level p<0.05 in medial mid foot and mid foot PR of women as compared to men. Conclusion: There was variation in plantar pressure distribution because the contact area of the men foot was larger than that of women foot. Hence knowledge of pressure distributions variation of both feet can provide suitable guidelines to biomedical engineers and doctor for designing orthotic devices for reliving the area of excessively high pressure. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Ankle "sprains" during sport activities with normal radiographs: Incidence of associated bone and tendon injuries on MRI findings and its clinical impactKaissar Yammine | Yahia Fathi
Volume 21, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 176-178
Objectives: To evaluate, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the occurrence of bone and tendon injuries and their impact on clinical management in athletes with ankle trauma during sports activities having normal radiographs and referred to the orthopedic department as "ankle sprains" Methods: This was a prospective study of 54 patients. Clinical examination and MR imaging were done in order to have an accurate diagnosis and the incidence of those injuries. Results: Nearly half of the patients were found to have no ligament injury on MRI. Isolated bone bruises and isolated tendon injuries may share the same clinical signs with ankle sprains. Conclusions: MRI-based clinical management has been adjusted for each case; beside the Grade 3 ligament injuries and the rare, but difficult to diagnose osteochondral lesions of the talus, partial weight bearing or short-immobilization were offered as treatment modalities for the rest of the patients avoiding unnecessary long-term treatments and rehabilitation exercises. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis for hemophilic arthropathy: Two cases reportShinji Tsukamoto | Yasuhito Tanaka | Takenori Matsuda | Yasushi Shinohara | Akira Taniguchi | Tsukasa Kumai | Kiyonori Tomiwa | Ichiro Tanaka | Midori Shima | Akira Yoshioka
Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 103-105
In the second decade of life, the ankle joint can be considered as the most common site for haemophilic arthropathy. To the best of our knowledge, no detailed reports have been published regarding arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis with haemophilic arthropathy. The aim of this paper is to report the outcomes of arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis in haemophilic arthropathy of the hindfoot. We performed three arthroscopic ankle arthrodeses in two patients. Case 1 was a 26-year-old man and case 2 was a 25-year-old man. The follow-up periods ranged from 2 year and 4 months to 6 years and one month. Union was obtained in all three ankles. All the arthroscopic ankle arthrodeses stopped or significantly reduced recurrent joint bleeding. With our procedure, we achieved pain relief and walking ability improvement. The mean American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scale scores were 39 (range: 32-52) points preoperatively and 80 (range: 74-92) points postoperatively. Our cases achieved high satisfaction levels with pain relief and minimal complications for arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis, and case 2 who originally underwent arthroscopic arthrodesis of the left ankle demanded the same operation for his right ankle. We consider that arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis is an effective technique for haemophilic arthropathy. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
The effect of calf muscle stretching exercises on ankle joint dorsiflexion and dynamic foot pressures, force and related temporal parametersK. Macklin | A. Healy | N. Chockalingam
Volume 22, Issue 1, March 2012, Pages 10-17
Background: Previous research has found that ankle joint equinus can lead to foot pathologies. Calf stretching exercises are a common treatment prescription; however, no dynamic quantitative data on its effectiveness is available. Objective: To investigate the effect of calf muscle stretching on ankle joint dorsiflexion and subsequent changes within dynamic forefoot peak plantar pressures (PPP), force and temporal parameters. Method: Thirteen runners with ankle joint equinus were required to perform calf muscle stretching twice a day (morning and evening) on a Flexeramp. Measurements were collected on day 1, week 4 and week 8. A repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferroni-adjusted post hoc comparisons was used to assess differences across the three data collection sessions. Results: Findings indicated that the calf stretching program increased ankle joint dorsiflexion significantly (from 5° to 16°, p≤0.05). The adaptive kinetics brought about by the increased ankle joint range of motion included significantly increased forefoot PPP and maximum force during stance phase but decreased time between heel contact and heel lift and total stance phase time. Conclusion: The calf stretching programme used in this study was found to increase ankle joint dorsiflexion and hence can be used for first line conservative management of ankle equinus. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Minimalist shoe injuries: Three case reportsDavid J. Cauthon | Paul Langer | Thomas C. Coniglione
Volume 23, Issues 2-3, June 2013, Pages 100-103
Running in minimalist shoes continues to increase in popularity and multiple mainstream shoe companies now offer minimalist shoes. While there is no evidence that traditional running shoes prevent injuries, there are concerns that the designs of minimalist shoes may increase injury risk. However, reports of injuries in runners wearing minimalist shoes are rare. We present three injuries occurring in runners that were wearing minimalist shoes at the time of injury. All three of the runners switched immediately to the minimalist shoes with no transition period. We recommend that any transition to minimalist shoe gear be performed gradually. It is our contention that these injuries are quite common and will continue to become more prevalent as more runners change to these shoes. © 2013.
Patient Reported Outcomes following the combined rotation scarf and Akin's osteotomies in 71 consecutive casesA. J. Maher | T. E. Kilmartin
Volume 21, Issue 1, March 2011, Pages 37-44
Background: The outcomes of hallux valgus surgery will be measured with reference to two discrete measures of health related quality of life (HRQOL). Clinical, radiographic outcomes and patient satisfaction will also be considered. Objectives: To assess health related quality of life following rotation scarf and Akin's osteotomies. Method: A prospective clinical audit of 71 consecutive patients undergoing surgical repair of hallux valgus. Outcomes included the Manchester Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ), EQ-5D, clinical measures, radiographic measures and patient satisfaction. Results: The mean MOXFQ scores improved across the three domains. Walking/standing improved from 54.2 (s.d. 21.4) pre operation to 12 (s.d. 18.1) post operation. Pain improved from 60 (s.d. 19.3) to 15 (s.d. 16.9). Social interaction improved from 53.8 (s.d. 21) to 19.1 (14.6). The improvement in each category was significant, p< 0.0001. EQ-5D scores also improved following intervention. AOFAS scores improved from a pre operation mean of 52.1 to 93.3 post operation (p< 0.0001). All radiographic measures significantly improved (p< 0.0001). Conclusions: Assessment of outcomes following surgical intervention is of critical importance to the foot surgeon. This study has demonstrated that the combined rotation scarf and Akin's procedure is a reliable procedure, capable of improving a patient's HRQOL. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Early post-operative results of neglected tendo-Achilles rupture reconstruction using short flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer: A prospective reviewThomas F M Yeoman | Michael J C Brown | Anand Pillai
Volume 22, Issue 3, September 2012, Pages 219-223
Background: Various repair techniques have been reported for neglected tendo-Achilles rupture. Objective: This study aimed to prospectively investigate the impact of short flexor hallucis longus (FHL) transfer to the calcaneus for patients with neglected rupture secondary to trauma. Methods: One surgeon operated on a series of patients with neglected tendo-Achilles rupture. Ankle function and patient health were assessed pre and post-operatively using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) and the SF-36 score. Results: 11 patients (6 male; mean age 52.6) were included. Median time from injury to surgery was 13.3 weeks (range 6-104 weeks). The mean pre-operative AOFAS was 51.4 (range 26-87), 79.8 (range 64-94) at 3 months and 91.9 (range 77-100) at 6 months post-operatively. The mean pre-operative SF-36 score was 87.4 (range 75.4-109.5), 103.2 (range 74.1-115.4) at 3 months and 111.8 (range 103.9-116.2) at 6 months. All patients had improved SF-36 at 6 months. At 6 months 10 out 11 patients had resumed pre-injury daily activities. Conclusion: Direct transfer of FHL to the calcaneum with an interference screw allows correct tensioning and secure fixation. The procedure has low morbidity and reliable outcomes. The majority of patients were able to return to daily working activities with no restrictions. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Calcaneal spurs: Examining etiology using prehistoric skeletal remains to understand present day heel painElizabeth Weiss
Volume 22, Issue 3, September 2012, Pages 125-129
Background: Calcanei are the most common sites for bony spurs. Although calcaneal enthesophytes have been extensively researched, many unknowns remain. Whether biological factors, such as age, weight and genetics, play a greater role in calcaneal spur etiology than activity is still unknown. Objectives: The current study examines 121 adults from a prehistoric hunter-gatherer population to aid in understanding bony spur etiology. Methods: Calcaneal spurs are scored as present or absent on the dorsal or plantar side; they are analyzed in regards to their relationships with age, sex, osteoarthritis, cortical index, femoral head breadth and muscle markers. Results: Dorsal and plantar spurs frequencies increase with age (chi-squares = 16.90, 7.268, Ps < 0.05, respectively). Dorsal spurs were more frequent than plantar spurs (chi-square = 38.000; P<0.0001). There is a positive relationship with calcaneal spurs and upper limb and lower limb osteoarthritis (chi-squares = 5.587, 7.640, Ps<0.05, respectively). Conclusions: The data presented support that dorsal spurs are in part the result of activities, but plantar spurs may be a more modern phenomena resulting from long periods of standing and excess weight. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Stature estimation from the lengths of the growing foot-A study on North Indian adolescentsKewal Krishan | Tanuj Kanchan | Neelam Passi | John A. DiMaggio
Volume 22, Issue 4, December 2012, Pages 287-293
Background and aims: Stature estimation is considered as one of the basic parameters of the investigation process in unknown and commingled human remains in medico-legal case work. Race, age and sex are the other parameters which help in this process. Stature estimation is of the utmost importance as it completes the biological profile of a person along with the other three parameters of identification. The present research is intended to formulate standards for stature estimation from foot dimensions in adolescent males from North India and study the pattern of foot growth during the growing years. Methods: 154 male adolescents from the Northern part of India were included in the study. Besides stature, five anthropometric measurements that included the length of the foot from each toe (T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 respectively) to pternion were measured on each foot. The data was analyzed statistically using Student's t-test, Pearson's correlation, linear and multiple regression analysis for estimation of stature and growth of foot during ages 13-18 years. Results: Correlation coefficients between stature and all the foot measurements were found to be highly significant and positively correlated. Linear regression models and multiple regression models (with age as a co-variable) were derived for estimation of stature from the different measurements of the foot. Multiple regression models (with age as a co-variable) estimate stature with greater accuracy than the regression models for 13-18 years age group. Conclusions: The study shows the growth pattern of feet in North Indian adolescents and indicates that anthropometric measurements of the foot and its segments are valuable in estimation of stature in growing individuals of that population. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Responsiveness of the foot and ankle ability measure (FAAM) in individuals with diabetesBenjamin R. Kivlan | RobRoy L. Martin | Dane K. Wukich
Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 84-87
Background: The impact of diabetes on physical function pose a challenge in assessing clinical outcomes. Objective: The purpose of this study was to provide evidence of responsiveness for the foot and ankle ability measures (FAAM) in individuals with diabetes mellitus. Methods: The two most recent FAAM scores of 155 diabetic patients treated for foot/ankle pathology were analyzed. Based on physical component summary (PCS) scores of the SF-36, subjects were categorized as improved (>7-point positive change), worsened (>7-point negative change), or unchanged (<7-point change). Analyses of the worsened and improved groups were compared to the unchanged group using two-way repeated measures ANOVAs and ROC curve analyses. Results: The ANOVAs demonstrated a significant difference between groups (P= 0.001). ROC curves analysis for detecting an improvement or decline in status were 0.73 (95% CI 0.62-0.84) and 0.70 (95% CI 0.59-0.81), respectively. An increase in FAAM score of 9 points represented the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) with 0.64 sensitivity and 0.78 specificity. A decrease in FAAM score of 2 points represented a MCID with 0.65 sensitivity and 0.61 specificity. Conclusions: The FAAM demonstrated responsiveness to change in individuals with orthopedic foot and ankle dysfunction complicated by diabetes and can be used to measure patient outcomes over a 6-month period. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

They've traveled from all over the west coast.
"We've got people from Idaho, Oregon, Washington," says Ron Lappin.
Towing along their boats and trailers, these are the best bass fisherman in the United States. They're ready to tackle Lake Oroville and it's big supply of bass.
"Oroville is one of the top spotted bass lakes in the whole United States," adds Lappin.
65-year-old Allen Todd made the trip from Nevada.
"The feeling of catching a fish, I guess there's no words to describe it, it's just excitement, the most exciting thing I've got left in life, go fishing, hook a big one and I'm happy," said Todd.
The FLW Outdoors Bass Fishing Tournament is an annual event at Lake Oroville.
Ron Lappin, an event organizer, told me each year this tournament helps the local economy reel in several thousands of dollars.
"The guys that fish this event know that the competition is the best in the West and they've got to do well to do that, and to do that, they've had to have to come up here and practiced, spent a lot of money in the economy over the last four or five days," said Lappin.
Some fisherman we spoke with said that Lake Oroville has one of the largest supplies for spotted bass in northern California. However, the bass themselves, well they're not that large."
"Oroville has quite a few fish, most of them are small. Our five best are probably going to be about 8, 9 pounds, but what else can you do? Even if I don't catch one, you can't ask for a more beautiful place to be," said Todd.

I am a homeschool mom and also a liaison between my community and Gull Lake Community Schools. It is for this reason that I have not responded to recent articles in the Kalamazoo Gazette regarding the Gull Lake schools.
After seeing Clark's Hinga's Viewpoint, I realized that our voice is critical. We need to speak up about what is actually happening at Gull Lake schools and share the real story, the exciting and positive story of a school district with the vision and courage to offer children a variety of ways for learning to be delivered. This is a district that listened to the Gov. Rick Snyder's vision of anywhere, anytime, anyplace, any path and any pace and utilized the new tools offered by the Michigan Department of Education to create a new vision. Homeschoolers are attracted to Gull Lake because of all the different options offered by the district.
Each and every day, I see kids walk through the doors of the partnership selecting from a menu of courses offered.
We have traditional kids joining the partnership and homeschoolers who have become full-time Gull Lake traditional students. We have part-time homeschoolers taking classes at Gull Lake's traditional schools and the virtual school. We have virtual school students taking electives with the partnership. We have Gull Lake certified teachers collaborating with community experts to make learning relevant. There is not a combination I haven't seen. Parents and kids have choices. Gull Lake teachers are working at the traditional school and the partnership. It is a wonderful community effort in collaboration and participation.
The problem is change is difficult, chaotic, exciting, messy and necessary. There is no doubt that public education needs to move away from the industrial model. This is a known and accepted fact. There are always the early pioneers that take the risk to lead others, and there are always those clinging to the status quo. One way or the other we all have to accept change if we want to do what is best for society. Our public education should be a world leader. All of us, whether we choose, public, private or home schooling should be proponents of good public schools because that is where most of our future generation will be educated, some for jobs that don't even exist now. Public schools are a cornerstone of our democracy. The wisdom of the Gull Lake vision is that they are creating a district that offers everyone ways to use public education.
Thank you to Superintendent Christopher Rundle, the board, and the staff of Gull Lake Community Schools for having the courage to view education though the lens of what is best for all kids, not though the political lens. Thank you to Gov. Snyder and leaders at the Michigan Department of Education for all the work being done to allow Michigan to be a leader in innovation in learning through anytime, anyplace, anywhere, any path and any pace. Being able to individualize education will be revolutionary. All of our kids will have choices that are best for them.
