Point-Counterpoint: Is An Initial TMA Better Than A Partial Ray Amputation in Patients With Diabetic Neuropathy?
Surveying the research and drawing on her own experience, this author says partial ray amputations in this population can lead to complications and further amputation whereas initial TMA procedures can facilitate a durable and functional residual limb.By Valerie L. Schade, DPM, AACFAS The primary goal of any limb salvage procedure is to maintain a stable, plantigrade foot that a custom orthotic and extra-depth or custom shoe gear can easily protect. This primary goal serves a secondary outcome of minimizing the potential for future ulceration, infection and amputation. In the past, the focus has been on saving as much of the foot as possible, taking only the minimum necessary for resolution of the current presentation. This can often lead to one of the most dreaded labels of podiatric surgeons as "whittlers" of the foot. In this era of evidence-based medicine, the reality is that these minimalist efforts often result in a deformed and non-functional foot doomed for repeat incidences of ulceration, infection and amputation.
What The Emerging Research RevealsBorkosky and Roukis conducted a systematic review of patients with diabetes mellitus and peripheral sensory neuropathy who underwent partial first ray amputation defined as permanent removal of any portion of the osseous structures distal to the medial cuneiform.1 The review excluded patients with critical limb ischemia. A total of five studies (21 percent) met the inclusion criteria. The weighted mean age of the 435 included patients was 59 years. The weighted mean follow-up was 26 months. Results of the systematic review found that one in every five patients required more proximal amputation with the final level being an additional digit (37 percent), transmetatarsal amputation (TMA) (37 percent), below-knee amputation (BKA) (29 percent) and LisFranc amputation (1 percent). The authors determined that a partial first ray amputation in patients with diabetes and peripheral sensory neuropathy and without vascular compromise may not result in a durable, functional foot.1 They postulated that a well-balanced TMA may be a more predictable level of amputation in regard to durability and longevity. Taking this data, Borksoky and Roukis performed a retrospective review using the same inclusion and exclusion criteria as described above for analysis of their own facility's results over an 11-year period.2 A total of 59 patients who had a partial first ray amputation met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 67 years. The mean follow-up time was 34 months. A total of 69 percent of these patients developed a new ulceration at a mean of 11 months from the index procedure. The mortality rate was 48 percent with death occurring at a mean of 35 months from the index procedure. In addition, 36 percent of patients required an average of two ancillary procedures such as flexor tenotomies and an average of 27 clinical visits from index procedure to the time of definitive treatment defined as complete healing of the index wound or time to reamputation. Ninety-two percent of patients required prolonged postoperative antibiotic therapy with a mean of two different antibiotics prescribed. Combining their own facility's data with that from their previously performed systematic review, the authors felt that a partial first ray amputation at any level is neither reliable nor durable.2 The question of whether these patients would be better served by the predictability, durability and longevity of a well-balanced transmetatarsal amputation still existed.
Comparing The Success Rates Of Various Levels Of AmputationCohen and colleagues performed a retrospective review of 53 male patients with peripheral neuropathy who had a partial ray resection, panmetatarsal head resection or TMA.3 Thirty-three patients (35 feet) had an isolated ray resection. The average follow-up time was 28 months. The overall success rate was 37 percent. Individual success rates for isolated ray resections were 36 percent for the first ray, 14 percent for the second ray, 17 percent for the third ray, 0 percent for the fourth ray and 78 percent for the fifth ray. The most common complication was transfer ulceration resulting in infection and the need for further amputation. Six patients (a total of seven feet) had panmetatarsal head resection.3 The average follow-up time was 17 months with a success rate of 86 percent. Fourteen patients (15 feet) had a transmetatarsal amputation. The average follow-up time was 17 months. There were adjunctive procedures in six feet.3 These procedures included Achilles tendon lengthening, anterior tibial tendon transfer to the peroneus tertius tendon, transfer of the extensor hallucis longus tendon to the anterior tibial tendon insertion, transfer of the anterior tibial tendon to the peroneus tertius tendon, and transfer of the extensor hallucis longus to the posterior tibial tendon. Complications occurred in three patients. One patient developed a new ulceration at the distal aspect of the residual foot that required a full thickness advancement flap and Achilles tendon lengthening to heal. One patient had delayed healing and required revision of the residual second metatarsal. Finally, one patient who was discharged with an open plantar flap and lost to follow-up for 14 months ended up with an above-knee amputation. None of these patients had any tendon balancing procedures at the time of their index TMA. Their reported success rate following a TMA was 93 percent. In the study, more than 60 percent of patients who had an isolated ray resection developed a new or recurrent ulceration more than 24 months following their index procedure.3 Given that, the authors concluded that one should relay these risks to the patient at the initial presentation and stressed the importance of close postoperative monitoring. They felt that a TMA was a more stable and reliable procedure. The authors also stressed the importance of considering adjunctive tendon and osseous balancing procedures to combat the remaining flexible or rigid equinovarus deformity in order to minimize the risk of ulceration, infection and further amputation. Brown and coworkers compared the morbidity, mortality, requirement of more proximal ipsilateral amputation and functional outcomes among patients who had a BKA, TMA, Chopart amputation, partial calcanectomy and total calcanectomy.4 Patients who had a TMA had a lower rate of mortality in comparison to those who underwent a BKA at one, three and five years postoperative with statistical significance at one and three years. The rate of reamputation following a TMA was 0.09. Of the 21 patients who had a TMA, only two patients (10 percent) required more proximal ipsilateral amputation. One patient had the second amputation at 0.3 years and another patient had it at 4.2 years following the index procedure. The study did not state the reason for re-amputation. Assessing postoperative ambulatory status with the validated Volpicelli scale, Brown and colleagues found that patients who underwent a TMA remained as unlimited household ambulators.4 The study authors determined that a TMA provided a predictable, durable and functional residual limb.
A Closer Look At The Author's ExperienceMy colleague and I performed a retrospective review of patients with peripheral neuropathy who underwent a TMA at our facility over a six-year period.5 The review excluded patients if they required a higher level of amputation secondary to progressive necrosis or infection. A total of 17 patients (17 feet) met all of the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 69 years. The mean follow-up time was four years. All patients had adjunctive tendon balancing procedures consisting of an Achilles tendon lengthening to combat equinus. Each patient also had either a peroneus brevis to peroneus longus tendon transfer, a split tibialis anterior tendon transfer, a flexor hallucis longus transfer, an extensor digitorum longus transfer, a posterior tibial recession or internal hardware to combat varus deformity of the foot. More than 50 percent of patients admitted to not using a custom insert and/or ambulating barefoot.5 Despite this, only three patients (18 percent) developed an ulceration. One was due to a flexible equinovarus deformity that healed with use of an AFO, one was due to a limb length discrepancy secondary to a chronically infected total hip arthroplasty on the contralateral limb that also healed with the use of an AFO and one was continuing care with another provider and was lost to follow-up. This put our overall success rate at 94 percent, similar to the finding by Cohen and colleagues.3,5
Final ThoughtsAny loss of the foot puts an emotional toll on the patient. The need for perpetual follow-up for prolonged antibiotic therapy, delayed healing, wound recurrence or occurrence, and further amputation can further exacerbate this emotional toll as well as place physical and financial burdens on the patient. Existing evidence demonstrates that an isolated ray resection does not result in a durable and functional foot, and has a poor prognosis for longevity. The future focus needs to be on form and function in the form of a well-balanced TMA to combat residual equinovarus deformity of the foot and away from the minimalist efforts of the past to eradicate infection.

This author says with the proper protocol in place, first ray amputations can provide good long-term healing and functional outcomes.By Suhad Hadi, DPM, FACFAS The growing emphasis on limb salvage and multidisciplinary approaches to care has brought on an apparent decline in the number of major lower extremity amputations with a noted increase in the number of foot level amputations.1-4 With the change in prevalence, there is much controversy surrounding decision making in regard to "definitive" foot level amputations. As we continue to witness a decrease in below-knee level amputations and an increase in partial foot level amputations, the questions surrounding their longevity and benefits come further into play.1 Partial foot amputations in general have been under scrutiny in regard to what we can consider a low success rate of maintained healing regardless of amputation level. Research has shown that 30 percent of all partial foot level amputations require secondary amputation regardless of the specific levels, a percentage that includes partial first ray amputations and transmetatarsal amputations (TMAs).1 Despite the fact these rates are twice as high as transtibial amputation rates, we continue to recognize the increase in partial foot amputations and the efforts to increase their functionality and longevity.
What The Literature RevealsThere is much literature in support of midfoot level amputations (and the TMA in particular) but there is a noted paucity in regard to more recent outcomes in support of partial ray amputations, specifically those of the first ray. Many studies have identified the associated risk of more proximal amputation in patients who undergo a partial first ray amputation.1-5 The risk of more proximal amputation ranges from 25 to 40 percent.1-5 In a retrospective review of 30 patients who had a partial first ray amputation, Kadukammakal and colleagues found that nine of these patients (30 percent) had a subsequent TMA at one-year follow-up.4 However, of those 12 patients undergoing a TMA, six had an ischemic component, which would initially be a greater indicator of the potential of more proximal amputation. Furthermore, Borkosky and Roukis performed a systematic review of studies involving any form of partial first ray amputation in an effort to identify the incidence of re-amputation in patients with diabetic neuropathy.3 They ultimately concluded that one out of every five patients had re-amputation. However, there was no indication — in the form of ischemia, infection or both — as to why further amputation was necessary. Ultimately, this review found only a 19.8 percent re-amputation rate following partial first ray amputation, which was 5 to 20 percent lower than in previous studies.4-6 However, the authors went on to recognize and question the potential for a reduction in numbers if appropriate bracing techniques were in place.3 Being critical of the literature and the emphasis on reported re-amputation rates often leaves one failing to interpret and recognize the success rates ranging from 60 to 80 percent of patients maintaining a successful, functional and healed outcome with a partial first ray amputation.6 Ultimately, one must recognize that the trend in reviewing the outcome studies tends to demonstrate a progressive decline in re-amputation rates with partial first ray amputations. Therefore, it is premature to exclude this procedure from one's armamentarium in regard to amputation planning. Often with surgical planning, we consider partial first ray amputations an initial debridement in an effort to eradicate infection, regardless of parameters — such as appropriate infection control and intact vascular status — supporting overall healing at that level. There is always the fear of the lateral transfer of weightbearing forces to the residual foot and subsequent transfer lesions as a consequence of reported forefoot sequelae.2 It is the common progression for amputations at the first ray level to demonstrate lesser digital contractures at the proximal interphalangeal and metatarsophalangeal joints, anterior advancement of the plantar fat pad and subsequent potential for transfer lesions. These factors and the implied increased risk of re-ulceration and further risk of infection or more proximal amputation often lead surgeons to contemplate a midfoot level amputation in the hopes of a more successful outcome. It is, however, the understanding of these sequelae that should instead reinforce the benefits of implementing further adjunctive surgical planning and prosthetic measures to maximize the long-term outcomes of partial first ray amputations.5,7
A Closer Look At Adjunctive Surgical OptionsCunha and coworkers discussed the role of tendo-Achilles lengthening procedures to further reduce forefoot pressures and prevent re-ulceration or proximal amputation in eight of 12 patients.7 They identified four patients who needed further debridement or progression to a TMA. However, their findings further validate the importance of preoperatively recognizing and addressing deformities that may ultimately compromise the successful outcome of a partial first ray amputation. Miller and colleagues further discuss the potential role of panmetatarsal head resection procedures in reducing forefoot pressures in an effort to prevent forefoot ulcerations and the potential risk of TMA.5
Recognizing The Benefit Of Post-Op Prosthetic ModificationsThe recognition of progressive deformity pre- and post-amputation will allow for a more comprehensive prosthetic prescription that will more effectively sustain the foot at the level of a partial first ray amputation. It would behoove the surgeon to gain thorough knowledge as to the role of prosthetic modifications, individual and in combination, in an effort to achieve the best outcome for the patient. Amputation filler additions to full-contact accommodative insoles can compensate to various degrees for the loss of the hallux. Modifying shoes to include a carbon plate or rocker-type forefoot will further aid in offloading the forefoot. It is also crucial to note that the majority of patients who have associated comorbidities such as coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or advanced systemic disease will often require the use of assistive devices in gait, such as canes, walkers, etc. This can further facilitate modifications in walking speed to increase overall function in the prescription shoegear. One may also consider the addition of a dynamic ankle foot orthotic (AFO) device similar to that for patients with a transmetatarsal amputation in an effort to reduce some of the forces during gait that may increase forefoot and lateral weightbearing distributions. Ultimately, clinicians must be thorough in regard to post-procedure prosthetic prescriptions and work closely with prosthetists in an effort to sustain an acceptable functional outcome post partial first ray amputation.
Do Patients With First Ray Amputations Have Greater Function And Mobility Than Those Who Have Had TMAs?In regard to biomechanical function, it has been widely accepted that a TMA provides a more stable base, a re-established metatarsal parabola and decreased energy expenditure in comparison to partial first ray amputations. However, more recent studies have further questioned these claims. Dillon and Fatone explain that once the amputation is beyond the metatarsal heads collectively, via transmetatarsal or tarsal level amputations, the respective foot length no longer contributes to power generation at the ankle.1 They also note that the outcome is equivalent to the loss of ankle power that occurs with a transtibial amputation, resulting in further compensation at the hip. Other similarities include walking speeds, which the study found to be comparable in patients with partial foot level amputations and transtibial amputations. This study further questions the increased function or mobility of patients who have had midfoot amputation when taking less than moderate walking speeds into account. Ultimately, these questions raise the need for further research and open the door to question the superiority in function, mobility and healing rates of a midfoot amputation in comparison to a partial first ray amputation.
How Psychosocial Factors Come Into Play With AmputationAside from the goals to attempt to achieve function, mobility and minimal deformity in amputation planning, one must also take into account patient factors such as quality of life and psychosocial considerations. Amputation resulting from prolonged ulcer or wound healing has already taxed the patient and his or her social network. Progression to amputation has the potential to further compromise quality of life. Patients often fear the "whittling away" effect while at the same time desiring the most minimal amputation level in effort to preserve as much of the structural integrity of the foot. This is at times a mechanism to attempt to better cope psychologically with having the amputation. At times, a partial first ray amputation can fulfill the expectation in the patient to maintain the majority of the foot. If healing parameters are optimal for this level of amputation and one implements appropriate post-amputation prosthetic and activity modifications, a partial first ray amputation can provide an acceptable level of healing and function in the long term. The importance of function and prevention of progressive deformity are key components to selecting the appropriate amputation level. However, one cannot exclude the role of psychosocial parameters surrounding amputation. One must take into account the toll on both the patient and his or her social network. From the initial onset of ulceration, the compromise in quality of life can impact the successful outcomes in regard to ulcer healing or amputation healing should one become necessary. The Eurodiale study found that health related quality-of-life factors measured via five domains (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression) influenced amputation risk and outcomes.8 Therefore, as noted in the study, we can further speculate that psychosocial and health factors may be necessary additions to the overall limb salvage efforts of the multidisciplinary team.
In ConclusionIt is important to realize that no amputation is without its own inherent risks and appropriately weighing these risks and benefits leads to appropriate amputation level selection. One must tailor procedures accordingly in order to ensure the best outcome for the patient in regard to healing, function and quality of life issues. Appropriate perioperative planning will minimize healing complications and the risk of further amputation.1 The most success with first ray amputation occurs in patients with appropriate control of infection, optimal perioperative parameters in regard to nutrition and total lymphocyte count, optimal vascular status, appropriate implementation of adjunctive surgical management, adherence to postoperative restrictions, and long-term prosthetic fitting.1 Further experience has shown that access to a well-constructed multidisciplinary care team further encourages successful outcomes and patient adherence. Therefore, there are several key factors that can support successful outcomes of partial first ray amputations. These factors include identifying the structural makeup of the surgical foot; access to comprehensive care; appropriate prosthetic prescriptions; identifying the need for adjunctive surgical interventions; and optimizing nutritional status and infection defenses. Ultimately, it is important to optimize all factors for healing and recognize the equivocal findings in regard to energy expenditure, biomechanical stresses, progressive deformity and re-amputation risks associated with all foot level amputations. While we have considered transmetatarsal amputations a "more definitive" foot level amputation, they require re-amputation or major amputation in 25 to 30 percent of cases.1,5 This number is not significantly smaller and, in some studies, is equally comparable to the outcomes with partial first ray amputations, making partial first ray amputations difficult to exclude in amputation planning. Appreciating that regardless of level, there is little difference in the percentage of partial foot amputations that require re-amputation opens the door to better understanding the potential success of a partial first ray amputation.

Landing a Job in the Wind Industry: Wind Powering America Lessons Learned
Jan. 28, 2013
Wind Powering America interviewed Marilla Lamb, a 2012 graduate of Northern Arizona University (NAU), in January 2013 while she attended her first Wind for Schools Summit at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado. Lamb holds a B.S. in environmental engineering and is now employed with Westwind Solar Electric Inc. and EN3 Professionals as a project engineer. Although a major in environmental engineering isn't a traditional path for individuals entering a career installing small wind turbines, Lamb found ways beyond the conventional classroom education to learn about wind energy and renewable energy, topics she has been passionate about for a long time. While attending NAU, Lamb worked with more than 1,000 K-12 students and more than 100 teachers in Arizona, leading wind energy discussions and activities as part of the Arizona Wind for Schools project. Lamb also assisted with five Wind for Schools project installations in the state, providing her with hands-on project experience. The following interview excerpts share Lamb's lessons learned from her educational and professional experiences with wind installations.
How did you acquire a job in the wind industry, and what does your job entail?
"I got involved with Westwind Solar because they did all of the wind turbine installations for our Wind for Schools program in Arizona. They are originally out of Tucson, but I heard they were opening an office in Flagstaff. When I heard that, I went to the owner of the company and asked if I could have a job. As a firm, we don't do anything related to the engineering. We have a structural engineer and an electrical engineer that we contract. I help in the field with wind turbine and solar installations. It's really fun and cool to be there for the initial site visit with the client and to learn what they want and to start to design a system based on their needs. I actually put together the site plans and electrical diagrams for the company. So we go from the initial idea to creating the plans and then bringing those plans to the electrical engineer and the structural engineer. We get feedback from them and I make the changes. At that point we do the installation."
How did you begin working with the Wind for Schools project?
"One semester I was in an environmental policy class and I was researching wind energy and any internship or a job I could have in that field, if there was research being conducted on the NAU campus. I came across something called the Landsward Institute and realized that the person in charge of this institute on campus was the professor for my environmental policy class. I noticed a little blurb on their website about Wind for Schools. This was before the program had officially started. I believe we had submitted our proposal. I talked with my professor and he put me in touch with Karin Wadsack (state facilitator for the Arizona Wind for Schools project), and luckily I was able to start working with her. She's been the most amazing person to work for, the most amazing mentor. I've learned so much from her. I feel like a lot of the opportunities that I've had are thanks to her."
What do you do for EN3 Professionals?
"This firm does primarily environmental engineering, specifically water and air quality projects, but recently they started an energy division. They have clients now who want to install a PV array but don't exactly know how to go about it. We're not necessarily doing engineering for them, but we're kind of coordinating between them and the public utility and finding a contractor to do the work, finding an engineer to do the design, helping them submit applications for incentives, things like that. Two people who were previously my professors own the firm. They contacted me because I have the environmental engineering degree so I can work on the other projects, but I also have this energy background, so they asked me to start working for them because now I'm fairly well-versed in energy topics. I've been sort of leading these projects, working with the clients."
Did you attend any wind energy-related courses while at NAU?
"I did take a wind energy engineering course while at NAU. There were prerequisites, but I had to take them for environmental engineering, so I was able to be in that class. It was a little bit of a struggle. It was definitely geared more toward mechanical engineering students. There were a lot of projects that had to be done in MATLAB. Mechanical engineering students have to take MATLAB as a course, and I had to figure it out, which was fine. I did it, but that made it challenging."

2 cups whole wheat flour
2/3 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup rolled old fashioned oats
2 tablespoons canola oil
3/4 cup chicken stock
2 eggs PLUS 1 egg, beaten
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients except for the beaten egg. The dough should easily form a ball and be rather firm. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into shapes. Re-roll scraps (just once, any more and the biscuits will be tough) and cut out the remaining biscuits. Brush the tops of each biscuit with the beaten egg. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Remove to a wire rack and cool completely. Store in airtight container.
Yield: about 3 dozen biscuits

kandkphoto necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 44 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
Hi! We are a high-end wedding and portrait photography studio. Our photography has a vintage, classy, and emotional yet fun look. We pride ourselves on our young and fresh approach to our work, our clients, and our photo shoots, but we retain the class and distinction of many long-established studios. We photograph weddings in the U.S. and worldwide. Feel free to view some of our recent work at http://www.kandkphotography.com and blog.kandkphotography.com.
Affluent and style-conscious brides, typically between 20-35 years old. Our style of photography has in the past attracted brides and grooms who are looking for something more classy, artistic and aesthetic, while still maintaining the elements of comfort, fun and relaxedness.
-We need branding/logos that represent K&K Photography and the above explanations of its class, distinction and high level of product.
- We encourage your creativity, but request that no "cheesy" or "quirky" designs be submitted.
- We need several final products:
1) A logo/symbol that represents our studio, which we can use to represent our work at a quick glance, as on the bottom corner of a print proof or between blog posts, at the bottom, etc.
2) The same or similar logo/symbol that literally says "K&K Photography" on it or in it. This logo will be more commonly used in our promotional materials, on the top of our blog, etc.
-Our signature color is pink (roughly #f82767), but we are interested in incorporating gold into our look to give it a more elegant, high-end and classy feel. The branding and logo need to represent quality.
-The logo itself needs to be opaque so you can still read it when it is placed over a photograph (see the Red Leaf Studios logo below).
-We love the look of Red Leaf Studios logo (gold in a vintage looking frame) and would like something very similar to this:
http://www.redleafblog.com/ (the logo on the top banner of their blog)

Sockeye(Reds) start their run from mid June into August. Last year the Reds were everywhere, talk about giving your arm a workout.The trip to Saltery Cove takes you through spectacular mountainous terrain, rivers, valleys and a few muddy spots. During your trip, you may see one of the largest brown bears known on the planet, the Kodiak Brown Bear, so be sure to pack your camera. Other photo opportunities may also present themselves, the American Bald Eagle, mountain goats, bison, deer, fox, horses and of course tons of fish.
Alaska Fish and Game reported over 42 thousand Reds passing through the weir between Mid June and early August last year. Long after the weir was down, we were still catching Reds into September. Reds were found virtually in just about every deep hole, under shady branches and on every bend of the river. Its always nice when you need to take along an extra cooler because ADFG raised the limit. The end of August
I love the ride out to Saltery and I have been fishing my favorite river now for about 10 years. Just the ride in its self is an adventure to remember. and it makes fishing a bonus. I will start working my way back there at the end of May and will wrap it up fist week of October.

The completed dorm building, visible at the lower right of this photo.
Construction has finished on the first dorm building at the Medical Education Training Campus on Fort Sam Houston.
The campus is being built as part of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission's decision to bring all armed forces' enlisted medical training to Fort Sam.
It will be composed of three dorms, five instructional facilities, a headquarters and administrative building, a fitness center and a massive dining hall that already has been completed. Students are scheduled to begin arriving in late May.
The general contractor on the project is Greeley, Colo.-based Hensel Phelps. The dorm units were constructed at a plant in Belton by The Warrior Group, a De Soto-based construction company, and the building was assembled on Fort Sam.

Film, discussion will focus on Haitian cholera epidemic
Brandeis-Haiti Initiative striving to raise awareness of UN role
"Baseball in the Time of Cholera", a short documentary on the devastating impact that United Nations-introduced cholera had on Haiti in 2010, will be screened at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Olin-Sang Auditorium.
The screening will be followed by a discussion led by Brian Concannon Jr., director of the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti. The film and discussion are sponsored by the Brandeis-Haiti Initiative.
The initiative, which was founded shortly after an earthquake devastated the country in January 2010, seeks to educate the Brandeis community about Haiti's cultural history and the challenges Haiti faces. It is a chapter of the Global Haiti Initiative, an intercollegiate organization that supports developmental programs in Haiti.
In October of 2010, Nepalese soldiers from a United Nations stabilization mission dumped sewage into a stream near the small village of Meille. The soldiers were carrying a cholera virus and their waste, which flowed into Haiti's most important river, caused an epidemic that caused approximately 7,000 deaths and sickened more than 530,000 people.
In November 2011, the Bureau des Avocats Internationaux and the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti, which trains lawyers and represents victims of human rights abuses, filed a lawsuit against the United Nations on behalf of the victims of the cholera epidemic. The suit demands that\the UN install a national water and sanitation system to help prevent future epidemics, compensate individual victims of the 2010 epidemic and issue a public apology.
"As citizens of this country and moreover the greater global community, it is our duty to bring attention to injustices that reside around the world," said Amanda Dryer '13, one of three co-presidents of the Brandeis-Haiti Initiative. "By failing to address the cholera epidemic, the U.N. has lacked two of our university's core values – integrity and civility."
She said that she and co-president J.V. Souffrant '13, "believe that it is important to show respect to the Haitian people by bringing awareness to the cholera epidemic. We want to use our skills as campus leaders to not only embrace diversity by bringing attention to an issue outside of our country, but also act upon the great foundation of this university: social justice."
Souffrant said he "got involved with the Brandeis Haiti Initiative because it was a great way to inform the members of the Brandeis community about the key issues affecting the people of Haiti. Being that I am Haitian-American, I believe that it is essential for someone like myself, who has strong ties to Haiti, to offer my help in any way possible."
The Brandeis initiative raises money to support Empowering Through Education Camp, a summer camp and education program for Haitian children created by Brandeis alum Shaina Gilbert '10. Members also have worked with Professor Jane Hale's "Famni Ki Li Ansamn" program, which distributes books to families in Lesotho, in Haiti, and in Massachusetts and have worked with the Student Union at its annual Hoops for Haiti basketball game, which raises funds for ETE Camp via a friendly game of basketball pitting students against a faculty and staff team..

Peri Marosevic on trial with Rapids; Pareja says "I want to take a look"
Former U.S. Under-20 World Cup player Peri Marosevic has been trialing with the Rapids this week.
The 23-year-old forward spent three seasons with FC Dallas before signing with Toronto FC, where he played seven games and recorded two goals in the 2011 season.
Rapids coach Oscar Pareja said his only plan is to make Marosevic available for Sunday's reserve game against Real Salt Lake.
"He's a player who has been in the town, been in the league," Pareja said. "I want to take a look, but basically it's to join us in the reserve game."
"I know him because I saw him before train and play as a typical forward," Pareja added. "He has a lot of mobility and strength and, as I said, he has been in town. For us, it's a good opportunity to see where he is at."

A Light In Titanic's Dark Night
Listen to Audio (right click to save)
There's just something about the Titanic. Yes, the ship sank, but it seems like our fascination with it is unsinkable. And that includes me. There are so many stories; so many life lessons. But in the many moving stories of that horrible, haunting night, there's one that just blows me away. One passenger - John Harper: A man whose life and choices during those three fateful hours still give me goose bumps.
John Harper was a Scottish pastor, a widower with a six-year-old daughter, a man who'd been invited to preach at Chicago's prestigious Moody Memorial Church. It was April 1912. And it just so happened that a ship - the new world wonder, named Titanic, was sailing for America. John Harper booked passage for himself, along with his daughter Nina and her aunt.
Later, passengers would report that John was seen often, talking about Jesus with fellow passengers. He would gently inquire, "Are you saved?" He cared deeply about whether folks had ever asked Jesus, God's Rescuer from heaven, to save them from the penalty for their sin. None of those passengers had any idea how close they were to eternity. Well, John watched the glorious sunset on the evening of April 14 and commented, "It will be beautiful in the morning." By morning some 1,500 Titanic passengers would be in eternity.
John did what all rescuers do. He abandoned himself to save others. How many times has thinking about myself kept me from speaking to someone about Jesus? I cry out with the Apostle Paul, "Pray that I may declare it fearlessly as I should" (Ephesians 6:20).
You know, in a sense, we're all passengers on a ship that's going down. And those of us who've been saved by Jesus know how the people around us can be saved, too. And if we tell them, as John Harper said. For them, "it will be beautiful in the morning."

Nothing sounds lamer than a political strategist trying to explain why his candidate lost — while studiously avoiding the facts. Or a lot of responsibility. But that's how Mitt Romney's chief strategist Stuart Stevens sounded when he dropped an op-ed in the Washington Post Wednesday.
The world through Stuart's Rearview Mirror glasses often looks different than, say, reality. Here's a couple of examples:
Sez Stu: "I appreciate that Mitt Romney was never a favorite of D.C.'s green-room crowd or, frankly, of many politicians. That's why, a year ago, so few of those people thought that he would win the Republican nomination."
Uh, not really. According to a RealClearPolitics.com analysis of major polls on Nov. 28, 2011, Mitt and Newt Gingrich were in a virtual dead heat in the polls.
Sez Stu: "Nobody liked Romney except voters. What began in a small field in New Hampshire grew into a national movement. It wasn't our campaign, it was Romney."
Aren't they interchangeable? And it sure helped that starting in Iowa, Mitt's Super PAC — led by former Romneyites and funded by largely untraceable money — dropped millions on crushing TV ads to destroy pretenders to the throne.
But Stu's money quote comes when he attributes the loss not just to Obama running a better campaign but, in part, to his race:
"There was a time not so long ago when the problems of the Democratic Party revolved around being too liberal and too dependent on minorities. Obama turned those problems into advantages and rode that strategy to victory. But he was a charismatic African American president with a billion dollars, no primary and media that often felt morally conflicted about being critical. How easy is that to replicate?"
No primary? True. But incumbents rarely have primary challenges. We'll ignore the blame-the-media whine (Stuart didn't blame media meanies when his candidate George W. Bush won TWICE.) He didn't lose because of the "billion dollars," either. The Romney camp wasn't hurting for money.
The question for Stu: Please explain what the significance of being a "charismatic African-American" had to do with winning the presidency. Last we checked the interwebs, Obama was the first African-American — charismatic or not — to have won the office. Quick history reminder on the political "advantages" of being an African-American candidate: Obama was only the fifth black U.S. Senator. Ever.
Stu sez: "Romney carried the majority of every economic group except those with less than $50,000 a year in household income. That means he carried the majority of middle-class voters."
And so, Stuart reasons that "Yes, the Republican Party has problems, but as we go forward, let's remember that any party that captures the majority of the middle class must be doing something right."
So what do you call the party that loses the electoral college 332-206 and the popular vote by around 4 million?
You got to appreciate that Stuart had a lot of nice things to say about Romney — particularly his strong first debate performance. But really. The campaign, like all losing campaigns, made a lot of mistakes. Two words: Own it.

I did not realise when I first posted it, that I made it on this account.*** I would like the ability to assign my Moderators in my Discord Servers, a Permission that grants my Moderators the ability to assign Roles to Server Members bellow their given Role, but I do not want them to have the ability to Create, Delete, Re-Arrange or Edit Roles bellow their given Role. I would like there to be a new feature added, where you have the option in the Permissions section, to assign Roles a Permission such as "Assign Roles". And it can go bellow the already implemented "Manage Roles". I do not like that for my Moderators to assign a Role to Server Members bellow their given Role, that they need the "Manage Roles" Permission to do so. I just do not want them to have the Permissions to change any of the Roles bellow their given Role, and I do not want them saying "Oops, I accidentally clicked delete, now you have to give all those 4,000 Server Members back their Role". This would be really useful.Please, if you like this suggestion, can you click the (^) "Up Arrow" in the top right of this post.

How do colds and flu spread? Do they spread differently?
When someone has a cold, the nasal secretions are teeming with cold viruses. Coughing, drooling, and talking are all unlikely ways to pass a cold. But sneezing, nose-blowing, and nose-wiping are the means by which the virus spreads. You can catch a cold by inhaling the virus if you are sitting close to a sneeze, or by touching your nose, eyes, or mouth after you have touched something contaminated by infected nasal secretions.
Once you have "caught" a cold, the symptoms begin in 1 to 5 days. Usually irritation in the nose or a scratchy feeling in the throat is the first sign, followed within hours by sneezing and a watery nasal discharge.
Inhaling droplets from coughs or sneezes is the most common way to catch the flu. Symptoms appear 1 to 7 days later (usually 2-3 days). The flu is airborne and quite contagious, and with its short incubation period it often slams into a community all at once, creating a noticeable cluster of school and work absences. The flu usually arrives in the winter months. Within 2 or 3 weeks of its arrival, most of the classroom has had it.

Prior to Super Bowl XLVIII, Peyton Manning never had been held to fewer than 17 points in any of his 35 games with the Denver Broncos.
Manning's record-breaking offense was promptly humiliated, managing just a single garbage-time touchdown against the Seattle Seahawks' tough, deep, versatile defense.
To hear All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman tell it, one of the best defensive performances in Super Bowl history might have fallen short of his teammates' lofty expectations.
"Did we know we'd hold the Broncos to eight points in the Super Bowl?" Sherman wrote Friday in his column for TheMMQB.com. "Honestly, we're a little upset it wasn't a shutout."
Considering the quarterbacks they vanquished along the way, it's fair to say the 2013 Seahawks have joined the 1970s Steelers, the 1985-'86 Bears, the 2000 Ravens and the 2002 Buccaneers as the most dominant defenses of the Super Bowl era.
"Some said Denver's offense would outgun us," Sherman continued. "They said nobody cares about defense anymore. Offense wins championships. But we took pride in being great and being No. 1 in a lot of categories. We wanted to cement our legacy as one of the best defenses to ever play in the NFL, and we did that."
Sherman is right. In a pass-happy, offense-inflated era, defense still wins championships. Of the 16 defenses to reach the Super Bowl with the NFL's No. 1 ranking, 13 have emerged victorious.
In the latest "Around The League Podcast," the guys ponder the future in both Seattle and Denver and break down the teams who intrigue them most this offseason.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's Monday. That probably means you rolled out of bed early this morning, tired and possibly hung over; you staggered around, haphazardly assembling your clothes; you drove to work, stuck in stop-and-go traffic behind an endless series of assholes; and you guzzled coffee in order to keep your eyes open.
As for me, I feel your pain: the shower went cold around 10 a.m. today, about halfway through a rousing rendition of Jimmy Eat World's fifth album, Chase This Light, as sung by me, using the shampoo bottle as a microphone. So I think we can agree that our mornings were equally grueling.
So grueling, in fact, that I've decided to forsake my usual morning brainstorming session and steal the idea for today's column from a reader. I happen to love it when readers give me column ideas, because it provides me with more time to devote to other pursuits, such as scouring eBay for Land Rover Gear. (Official motto: Because nothing says "I've Made It" like a guy wearing Land Rover socks.)
So anyway, you might be wondering what reader-generated topic I'm going to cover today. Well, if that's the case, then I would say: Time for a little more coffee, jackass, because it's right there in the title! Yes, that's right: I'm going to talk about how everyone thinks you're rich when you own a used luxury car.
In order to comprehensively cover this issue, I should tell you that, in college, I drove an Audi. But don't get your hopes up: this wasn't a special Audi, like my friend Paul's RS4, which has fender flares the size of a water buffalo. It wasn't even a kind of special Audi, like that A4 S-Line driven by your co-worker who swears it's "just one step below an S4." This was an old A4, painted purple, which was a factory color presumably devised by some Audi employee who had already lined up a job over at BMW.
Beyond its rather unfortunate color, my Audi had a few flaws. For example: because of its advanced age, it didn't have modern gadgets like an iPod interface or a USB port. It had a cassette player. So I got one of those iPod-to-cassette devices, which let me hook up my iPod to a cassette tape that would, on occasion, get stuck inside the stereo.
Also: you'd set off the alarm in my A4 if you parked it with the windows rolled down, because the car would think it was being burglarized… by the wind. And the LCD screen in the gauge cluster attempted to display every single vehicular function, and also the time, using roughly eleven pixels.
But my old college Audi had four rings on the hood, and that was enough for most people to think I was, in fact, tremendously wealthy.
It was so strange: if I was picking up a friend who had never seen the car, he would invariably open the door, sit down, and make some comment like "Ooooh, you have an Audi," speaking with the same tone an African tribesman might use the first time he experienced air conditioning. For a lot of these people, it almost seemed like they thought I was some sort of exotic chauffeur, leading them around in a beautiful, dreamy luxury vehicle. When in reality, I was just some guy driving a used car with an iPod dangling from the cassette player.
The craziest part about all this, of course, is that my family really didn't spend that much money for the car. I think it was approximately nine grand, plus a subsequent timing belt service, which meant that the total price was roughly the same as a Nissan Versa without air conditioning. And my friends never would've said anything about a Nissan Versa without air conditioning, except, of course: "Why the f*** is it always so hot in here?"
Actually, the price isn't the craziest part about all of this. The craziest part is that people would oooh and aaaah over the Audi even when their own vehicles were far more expensive. This remains true today. Show up in a $12,000 used BMW to meet someone with a brand-new Honda Accord, and they'll fawn all over the BMW, even though the Accord is worth three times as much and has more cameras than Supermax.
This entire topic came into focus for me a few weeks ago, when I posted that long rant about how a valet damaged my Range Rover. This post garnered hundreds of replies, all of which can be summarized in the following three categories:
1. Stories about personal experiences with rampant valet abuse, damage, or carelessness: 94 percent.
2. Unbridled anger that I would leave a Range Rover with a valet: 5 percent.
3. Death threats from Idaho residents: 1 percent.
The implication of the second group was that the damage to my Range Rover was my own fault for placing "such an expensive vehicle" in the hands of other, less-capable people. This sort of hostility surprised me, since my Range Rover cost approximately $25,000, or roughly the same amount as a new Kia. And that was more than a year ago, which means that – thanks to the miracle of Land Rover depreciation – it is now worth approximately the same amount as an electric blanket.
Now, I'm well aware that used luxury cars can cost a lot of money to maintain – and I realize that may be part of the reason why people think their drivers are so wealthy. But in my experience, people tend to make a big deal out of used luxury cars regardless of the condition they're in. This is why you can spend six grand on a used Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit with four functioning cylinders and sheepskin seat covers, and people will still think you're descended from royalty.
The moral to this story is that if you want people to think you're wealthy, all you have to do is spend a few thousand dollars on a used luxury car. And if you happen to end up with my old A4, good news: I have a cassette-to-iPod adapter you can use. But I'm going to charge you $25 for it. After all, you can afford it. You drive an Audi.

Once a travel hot spot, Algeria dissolved into civil war and lost the welcoming nature that characterized this African country. Now, Algeria is slowly coming back despite terrorism and travel warnings. It is possible to travel independently in some areas of Algeria, but it is recommended that travelers stay with a reputable guide agency and/or have some sort of Algerian guide in other areas.
Why should you add Algeria to your RTW/Indie trip?Here are our top recommendations of what to see and do as an indie traveler in Algeria:
- Visit and explore ancient ruins - there are Roman, Phoenician, and Byzantine ruins throughout the country.
- The most popular are Timgad, Hippo Regius, Djemila, Calama, and Tipasa.
- Visit the M'Zab Valley, a region of the northern Sahara and a collection of five walled villages, known as the Pentapolis.
- Head to the bustling city of Algiers, located on the Mediterranean. Like most of the rest of the country, the capital, known for its white-washed buildings, has suffered because of the civil war, and as a result, travelers must exercise caution when traveling here.
- Explore the Grand Erg Occidental and/or the Grand Erg Oriental, both massive fields of sand dunes in the Sahara.
- Have a Mediterranean holiday for a fraction of the cost (it won't be quite the same as Spain or France, but it will certainly be a great indie travel experience).

Day's Worst: Sununu's racial insinuations hurt Romney
Is John Sununu really on Mitt Romney's side in this presidential election, or is he just a cleverly placed double agent?
You might wonder after hearing the comments of Sununu, purportedly a top surrogate for Romney, about a high profile endorsement that went to President Barack Obama.
Sununu suggested that retired general Colin Powell endorsed the president because both are African Americans.
Here's how the Washington Post reported Sununu's comments:
"Frankly, when you take a look at Colin Powell, you have to wonder whether that's an endorsement based on issues or whether he's got a slightly different reason for preferring President Obama," Sununu said.
Asked what those might be, Sununu pointed to race.
"Well, I think when you have somebody of your own race that you're proud of being president of the United States, I applaud Colin for standing with him," Sununu said.
So, really it's just racial kinship behind the endorsement? It has nothing to do with Powell having faith in the president's ability to handle conflict and foreign affairs? Sununu's comment relects poorly on himself and demeans Powell.
Sununu, a former White House chief of staff and governor of New Hampshire, is an old hand at being in the public eye. And he's known for his biting comments. So we're not inclined to think this was some sort of mistake. This was John Sununu being John Sununu. And it's not particularly helpful to Romney in trying to persuade voters that he's a moderate.

Transplantation of human cells, tissues and organs
Transplantation of human cells, tissues or organs saves many
lives and restores essential functions where no alternatives
of comparable effectiveness exist
In 50 years, transplantation has become a successful worldwide practice. However, there are large differences between countries in access to suitable transplantation and in the level of safety, quality, efficacy of donation and transplantation of human cells, tissues and organs. The ethical aspects of transplantation are at the forefront. In particular, the unmet patients' needs and the shortage of transplants lead to the temptation of trafficking in human body components for transplantation.
WHO Guiding Principles on Human Cell, Tissue and Organ Transplantation
66顺彩票appIn 1987 the fortieth World Health Assembly, concerned at the trade for profit in human organs, initiated the preparation of the first WHO Guiding Principles on Transplantation, endorsed by the Assembly in 1991 in resolution WHA44.25. These Guiding Principles have greatly influenced professional codes and practices as well as legislation around the world during almost two decades. After a consultation process that took several years, the Sixty-third World Health Assembly adopted resolution WHA63.22 on 21 May 2010, endorsing the updated WHO Guiding Principles and identifying areas of progress to optimize donation and transplantation practices.
WHA63.22 - Human organ and tissue transplantation
WHO Guiding Principles
The Declaration of Istanbul
Professionals of donation and transplantation from all regions, through many of their organizations and institutions, are endorsing the on organ trafficking and transplant tourism developed under the leadership of the Transplantation Society and the International Society of Nephrology in May 2008.
