A couple weeks ago the brakes on my car went out. While I was driving. While I was driving with my two sleeping children in the backseat. Needless to say, it was one of those terrifying moments that, thankfully, happen so fast you don't even have time to process how truly terrifying it is as it's happening.
Spoiler alert: we're all safe and nothing awful happened (unless you count the huge dent in our checking account).
The kids and I were on our way to my parents' house. To turn into their neighborhood from a four-lane busy street, you have to be paying attention or you just might miss the street. My method is to watch for the street sign to know exactly when the turn is coming up. Apparently, though, the street sign was down for some reason. While I had slowed down considerably, when I realized the street was upon us, I wasn't quite going slow enough to safely make the turn.
So I cruised on to the next turn, which goes into a parking lot and would let me wind my way over to the neighborhood street. No big deal.
But in an instant, my car (and me) started freaking out. Warning beeps screeched, dashboard lights flashed, emergency signals that I couldn't decipher suddenly appeared on my screen. I tried to brake and quickly realized that was not happening. I needed to get off the road. Everything happened so fast, I'm not sure exactly how things went down. One of the lights that came on was my emergency brake light. I thought, "Did I manage to turn on my emergency brakes?" So I pressed the emergency brake pedal to try to turn it off, which turned out to be a good thing because it slowed me down. I think I put on my flashers, aware that things were not good and I should try to warn other drivers.
As I was attempting the right turn into the parking lot, another car was exiting the lot, and I briefly considered honking because I didn't think I was going slow enough to control my turn. But somehow I controlled it. Maybe it was the fact that I was on an incline that slowed me down. Maybe it was because I had already been decreasing my speed for awhile. Maybe it was because I pressed the emergency brake pedal. But I cruised into the lot and pulled over to the side. I could tell my brakes were not doing what they were supposed to. Their stopping action was not related at all to my pressing on the pedal, it seemed.
My heart was pounding. I may have cursed a time or two. But we were stopped, and the kids were still asleep in spite of the beeping, screeching warning sounds. I turned the car off and tried turning it back on. The classic reset move. But that didn't help anything. The flashing and beeping started the instant the car came back on. I considered whether I could make it to my parents' house, since I was only a couple blocks away. No, bad idea. I did, however, decide to try to move the car about 20 feet forward to be in an actual parking spot rather than on the side of the parking lot entrance. Since I never went more than 5 mph, I was able to pull off this maneuver.
I called my parents and my dad answered the phone. I explained what happened and asked him to come pick up the kids. It was about 100 degrees out and I didn't like the thought of them sleeping in the car in the heat. Dad came right away and we all loaded into the car, deciding that I could call AAA from their house and come back to the car when the tow truck came.
I called, the car got towed to my side of town, and we ended up paying close to $2200 for parts and labor. It was the skid control ECU that had malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. (While I'm sure all of you know exactly what that is, let me explain for my own memory. It's basically one of several sub-computers in the car that controls a bunch of functions, including the brakes. And since the brakes in the Prius are tied to the whole hybrid functionality, it's a complicated expensive thing to fix. And nobody but the dealer will fix it, so they can pretty much charge whatever they want for labor.)
In the end, everything turned out fine. And the brakes going out happened at about the best possible time. The day before, we were on our way back from my cousin's wedding in Iowa and spent a lot of time on small roads in rural Iowa. With temps in the upper nineties and no shade to speak of, waiting for a tow truck in the middle of nowhere would have been a lot worse. Even just ten minutes earlier would have been worse, since we were driving on a 65-mph-highway. And having that street sign down was even a good thing, since it had me slowing down, but forcing me to miss the turn meant I ended up going up an incline. I'm not one to believe in miracles or guardian angels or any of that, but incidents like this make me feel pretty thankful to the universe for looking out for me and my babies.

Brake it Down
A couple weeks ago the brakes on my car went out. While I was driving. While I was driving with my two sleeping children in the backseat. Needless to say, it was one of those terrifying moments that, thankfully, happen so fast you don't even have time to process how truly terrifying it is as it's happening.

We have no doubt that the Bugatti Chiron is a marvel of engineering and also the fastest production sports car, but it was also never destined to be nearly as ground breaking as the Veyron.
From the way it looks to its features, there isn't any division in which the New Bugatti Chiron lacks in luxury and performances. This beast on wheels really worths a ride.
Read below 5 facts that you need to know about the fastest and the most powerful car in the world.
1. The New Bugatti Chiron has 1,479bhp
Welcome the new 261mph, 1,479bhp successor of the Veyron! The fastest car in world.
The Chiron is not a hybrid. Unlike its closest competitors – the McLaren P1, LaFerrari and Porsche 918 – it relies solely on fossil fuels. Its engine is a development of the Veyron's 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16, its gearbox a strengthened version of the Veyron's seven-speed twin-clutch, and like the Veyron it deploys its immense power through all four wheels.
2. Its name comes from the legendary Louis Alexandre Chiron
The name comes from Louis Chiron, a decorated Bugatti driver in the formative years of the 20th century.
One of the original Grand Prix greats, Chiron led quite a life. Born in Monaco at the turn of the 20th century, he became an army driver during the First World War and a chauffeur immediately after, but clearly had an eye on driving at higher speeds.
Chiron became a professional dance partner at the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo, whirling wealthy women around the dance floor before buying his first Bugatti at the age of 26, allegedly financed by one of his dancing partners. Before long he'd traded up to a beautiful Type 35 Grand Prix car, won a slew of races and become part of the Bugatti factory team, rising rapidly to become its no. 1 driver.
3. It's equipped with a lag-less 7-speed automatic transmission
With a $2.6 million price tag,the new Bugatti Chiron has an army of mustangs to launch it on the road. The tsunami of power moves earth under the wheels with 1479bhp. All this whirl of power is generated by an 8.0-litre quad turbo W16 specially treated Volkswagen engine. Perhaps that's a fair price for a new model that Bugatti modestly describes as the "world's most powerful, fastest, most luxurious and most exclusive production super sports car".
4. The world fastest car
The new car from Bugatti has a limited top speed of 261 MPH, close to1500 horsepower, and can go from zero to 62 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds.These are just a few of the numbers that make the new Bugatti Chiron one of the most insane mass-produced cars in the world.
A limited top speed? That could mean that with the limiter removed, the Chiron could be even faster.
5. Almost 200 pieces are already sold!
Bugatti – which is part of Volkswagen – announced ath Geneva that will make just 500 of the first Chiron series, and a third of them have already been sold.
Better get your order in quick!
Cars will begin shipping in Fall of this year.

Ramos, Nilsen, Puchkov Take Home 2016 Spirit of Poker Awards
The ballots have closed and the voters have spoken.
With two very closely contested races and one runaway winner, the 2016 Spirit of Poker Award winners have now been decided and all that's left is the celebratory high fives and the ceremony to award the victors at the 2016 Battle of Malta.
This year's winners:
Felipe Ramos (Brazil), Silje Nilsen (Norway) and Konstantin Puchkov (Russia), who all won over the voters with their talent, enthusiasm and commitment to promote, represent and support the game of poker in their home countries.
Most Inspiring Player: Felipe Ramos
There was one nominee who rose head and shoulders above the crowd in the voting this year and that was Brazil's Felipe "Mojave" Ramos.
With his outgoing, friendly character and a never-ending enthusiasm for the game Ramos stood out among his competition and collected the most votes in the Most Inspiring category by a wide margin.
If you've watched poker in the past 12 months - especially the Global Poker League, where he plays for the Sao Paulo Mets - you know that Ramos wears his love for poker on his sleeve and you can always see how deeply it fascinates him.
Ramos has been in the commentary booth for poker tournaments, perpetually updated his 30,000 followers on Twitter, streams live on his own Twitch channel and, importantly, plays all the games.
He cashed deep in four different variants at the 2016 WSOP and likes them so much he even streams HORSE! He writes strategy, runs his own training site and shares his love of the game with friends and admirers like Andre Akkari and football superstar Neymar Jr.
His home country might be his favorite subject to talk about – did you know that Brazil has the best pizza in the world? (according to Ramos) – and Ramos' contributions over the past 6 or 7 years have clearly helped make Brazil the fastest-growing poker market in the world.
With two formidable finalists in Kitty Kuo and Fatima de Melo alongside him in the Most Inspiring Player category, Ramos is a very worthy winner. Also nominated this year were Dan "jungleman12" Cates, Mike Leah, Dominik Nitsche, Luca Pagano and Vladimir Troyanovsky.
Rising Star: Silje Nilsen
In the most closely contested category of the year Norwegian Silje Nilsen proved it's not the biggest results or the highest stakes that inspires fans to get behind you.
Nilsen has been impressive on the felt in her own right since her deep run in the BOM main event last year, where she finished 75th.
Shortly after that she went to the Norwegian Championships and finished 2nd to WSOP runner-up Felix Stephensen. In those two events alone she outlasted almost 4,000 players.
But most importantly, with Norway legalizing poker last year and holding its National Championship on home soil for the first time (broadcast live on National TV no less), Nilsen inspired a new generation of women in her home country to take up the game.
She appeared in a short documentary about her life and poker pursuits, earned a sponsorship from Guts Poker and carried on an esteemed tradition of inspiring female players (see Annette Obrestad and Elisabeth Hille) from the poker-mad nation of Norway.
Nilsen made her first trip to the World Series of Poker this year and, while the results weren't what she'd hoped, left with the attitude that shows she's got what it takes to stick around in the game:
Did not go as well as I hoped, but there's only 1 year to the next one— Silje Nilsen (@PokerSilje) July 22, 2016
With a virtual dead heat between Nilsen, Argentinian superstar Ivan Luca and Italian Walter Treccarichi in the voting it was Silje's growing social media presence that carried the day and won the votes to put her over the top.
If you follow her on Twitter, you'll see why.
Living Legend: Konstantin Puchkov
There are players whose merits in poker are often underrated or go by relatively unnoticed, like Barny Boatman and Donnacha O'Dea, who literally helped build the very foundation the game is on today.
There are players who've conquered hardship or achieved to become a WSOP or EPT champion, like John Gale and Jan Bendik.
And then there are players who seem to have always been there, who poker seems to have been built around.
Konstantin Puchkov is one of these players and he's shown a consistency over the past 5 or 6 years that most of us would kill for, regardless of our age.
Puchkov plays all the games and never gets out of line with his bankroll, skipping the high roller scene entirely. You'll see him in the main events - much like the latest EPT Barcelona when he finished 13th.
But he'll also still be there when, for example, that same EPT wraps up with a €100 Hyper Turbo event (in which he finished 3rd).
Puchkov has 45 WSOP cashes, which doesn't seem much compared to Phil Hellmuth's 118, but Puchkov's first entry is from 2010 -- more than 20 years after Hellmuth's first WSOP win.
On the list of most WSOP cashes in one summer Puchkov is second and third with 11 and 10 cashes. He also holds the records for most EPT cashes – by a mile – with 82!
Puckkov's enthusiasm goes as far as naming the horses he breeds with poker terms like "Freeroll" and "Full House," and maybe it's this extraordinary spirit that won him the award of "Living Legend" from the poker community.
PokerListings would like to congratulate all three 2016 winners of the Spirit of Poker Awards and we hope to see you all at the Battle of Malta in November!

An estimated 57 million Americans live with a disability. Some need lots of support, others only a little…but all deserve to live a life without limits.
This is how too many families raising children with disabilities feel. Alone in meeting mounting financial burdens. Alone in dealing with emotional turmoil. Alone in providing opportunities for their children to prosper.
Tell these families: You are not alone. I'm with you.
Together, we can give:
A child the wheelchair her family couldn't afford
A caregiver his first hour off in three years
A child a space to play and feel like he belongs
A parent a shoulder to lean on for support
Lollipop Kids Foundation has been committed to providing free services that meet these needs and more. In recent months, the demand for our services and programs has skyrocketed. We realized that we too, cannot do it alone. We cannot continue to offer our services at this level without the help of our community.

PARKLAND -- Now that he has outdistanced a three-candidate field for mayor, Sal Pagliara said he will turn his attention to being the city`s top elected official.
``I have new ideas,`` said Pagliara, a 20-year resident. ``But, I`m not ready to divulge them yet.``
Pagliara, 58, ran a campaign advocating the construction of the Hall building, protecting the horse riders in the relatively rural city, land annexation, and broadening the local tax base.
His campaign blocked the comeback bid of former Mayor Becky Gerren, 55, and first-time candidate Wyatt Fuller, 41.
``I wish him the best,`` said Gerren, the mayor from 1978 to 1986.
Of her attempt to return to local political life, Gerren said, ``At least now I won`t have to look back and say, `I should have done something.```
Pagliara won a two-year term with 409 votes, more than double the ballots cast individually for Gerren and Fuller on Tuesday. Mayor Joe Lettelier did not seek re-election.
Pagliara, a general contractor, has been the chairman of the city`s Planning and Zoning Board, and one of the founders of the Parkland Homeowners Association.
``I thought I was going to win, but not by that big a margin,`` Pagliara said.
District 2 commission incumbent Bobbi Pugliese, 40, edged former Commissioner Brenda Selner, 373 to 333. Selner was a commissioner from 1977 to 1979.
Bob Marks automatically won a two-year term as the commissioner representing District 3; he was unopposed.
The winners will be sworn into office at the start of Wednesday`s 7 p.m. commission meeting at City Hall, at Holmberg Road and Parkside Drive.

Has Gamergate Finally Burned Itself Out?
Is Gamergate winding down? If you look at the #gamergate hashtag on Twitter, it would seem not, as it continues to be a constant stream of people pushing a reactionary agenda while claiming to advocate for ethics in gaming journalism. But there's reason to believe that the movement is rapidly losing its effectiveness. In October, Gamergate was able to organize its online shock troops to persuade companies to pull their ads from websites they deemed unfriendly. This month, however, they are not finding the same success.
Game developer and critic Mattie Brice—who is an outspoken "social justice warrior," to use the derogatory term employed by so many Gamergaters for the outspoken liberals they're against—was one of hundreds of judges for the Independent Games Festival. Brice, frustrated at the constant heat coming from Gamergate, jokingly tweeted that she would use her immense power for the dark purposes of misandry:
don't worry ggers every single game that has anything involving a man will definitely be nuked in the IGF I have that power most def— cutie hunter mattie (@xMattieBrice) November 9, 2014
Gamergaters knew an opportunity when they saw one and put on a great show of being offended by this tweet, which they read, or pretended to read, as literal. And so things proceeded as they do when Gamergate targets someone: harassment and demands for the target to lose honors or income. Initially, it seemed to be working, and Brice was forced to resign as a judge. But the Gamergate victory didn't last for long. As soon as the folks at IGF realized that the voices calling for Brice's head were just a bunch of Gamergaters with no genuine beef, they openly apologized for screwing up. It wasn't a nonapology we-refuse-to-take-sides statement like those offered by Intel or Adobe either. "We want to unequivocally express our solidarity with all those who have endured harassment over the past several months, if not years," IGF's statement read. They apologized to Brice in particular and asked her to return.
IGF's stand against Gamergate did not happen in isolation. The past few weeks have seen a bunch of high-profile humiliations for the cause. Stephen Colbert devoted a segment on his show to exposing how Gamergate's purported concern for "ethics in gaming journalism" is simply a cover for silencing women who offer feminist opinions on games. Michael Morhaime, the CEO of the gaming company Blizzard, took time during this year's speech at Blizzcon to denounce Gamergate. And the unofficial motto of Gamergate—"actually, it's about ethics in game journalism"—has morphed into Internet shorthand for someone arguing in bad faith, complete with a Tumblr of memes to drive home the point.
So what's next? As David Futrelle at We Hunted the Mammoth documented, Gamergate organizers at 8chan—a site set up for Gamergate after 4chan booted them—are now trying to save their movement by shifting tactics, mostly by moving off Twitter and toward Tumblr. At this point, the only thing that could probably breath some life into their movement would be a rebranding effort, getting away from the word Gamergate and trying to find a new cover story that doesn't include the words ethics and journalism. Maybe that will happen, but in the meantime, Gamergaters are losing control of the narrative.

Cures for Hepatitis C
February 21, 2016
The FDA has approved Transformative advances in drug treatments for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C for the estimated 3.2 million Americans that have the disease so they can lead a longer and a healthier life. This is good news for baby boomers and they make op three out of four adults that have the hepatitis C virus. There are also millions of Americans that have the virus, but don't know it yet.
Hepatitis C is curable and there are drug therapies today that are easier and effective for patients to take. Deputy Director of the Division of Antiviral Products in FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Jeffrey S. Murray, M.D is an internist with a specialty in infectious diseases and says that new drugs are working well for Hepatitis C.
Curable and Preventable Disease
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver and it refers to a group of viral infections which impact the liver. The common types are A, B, and C hepatitis and each is caused by a different virus.
The most common chronic blood-borne infection in the U.S., is hepatitis C. The disease doesn't have a vaccine, but it can be prevented by avoiding risky behaviors that spread the disease like sharing syringes, needles or other drug injection equipment.
If you were diagnosed with hepatitis C in the past it meant that you faced many months of painful injections. Today, there have been new strides in science and alternative therapies.
The interferon-based injections make those that take them ill and they have flulike symptoms says Murray. The interferon lasts about six months to a year, but only cures about 40% to 50% of those with hepatitis C.
Patients with advanced liver disease couldn't take traditional treatments because it would make them sick. Patients today with hepatitis C, can use pill combinations that have a high cure rate and work faster than older injections.
The pills today have 90%-100% viral cure rates in about 12 weeks' time. This reduces the treatment to three months down from a year. It's also much easier for hepatitis C patients to swallow a pill than to take a pain injection.
New regimes for hepatitis C include Sovaldi (sofosbuvir), which is the first approved drug to treat various types of hepatitis C without the need for any co-administration of interferon. The FDA has approved three protease inhibitors in recent years called Victrelis (boceprevir), Olysio (simeprevir), and Incivek (telaprevir) for the treatment of hepatitis C. Olysio is a protease inhibitor which blocks a protein that is required by hepatitis C to replicate itself. This drug is a component of combination treatments for hepatitis C.
The FDA provides information and gives notice of public events where you have opportunities to comment on policies, issues, and attend upcoming advisory committee meetings for people that have hepatitis C or B.
Juvenile Arthritis
February 14, 2016
Arthritis is often referred to an old age disease, but this isn't necessarily the case.
One of the most common chronic diseases that impact children is juvenile arthritis. It's estimated that there are around 300,000 young people that are diagnosed with the disease. Common symptoms of the disease are tenderness, inflammation, joint pain, as well as joint stiffness. Limping in the morning may be an early sign of the condition.
At the FDA, Nikolay Nikolov is a clinical team leader and a rheumatologist he indicates that parents and children with juvenile arthritis have good reason to have optimism. In recent years there has been new therapies developed by drug companies and approval given by the FDA the help to control and moderate the condition. This helps prevent significant problems and disability in later years.
No one knows the exact causes of juvenile arthritis as it's an autoimmune disorder. The immune system usually helps the body fight infection, but in the case of arthritis, it attacks the tissues.
Juvenile arthritis has several subgroups which are called Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). These start before the age of 16 and can cause swelling in one or more joints which lasts around six weeks. JIA impacts the knees, ankles, wrists, and other joints of the body. The largest group is called Polyarticular JIA and it impacts many joints. Systemic JIA is another subgroup and it impacts the entire body and cases skin rashes and fever in many cases.
In the past, children were treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for inflammation and pain relief using products like aspirin or ibuprofen. Children that have severe juvenile arthritis are treated with drugs which suppress the immune system of the body. Common products used for this are methotrexate and corticosteroids.
Now systemic JIA and Polyarticular JIA are treated with new medications which are called biologics. These are extracted or manufactured from biological sources.
The New Treatments for Juvenile Arthritis
Nikolov says that as our science has advanced at the molecular level, we ae learning more about what drives arthritis and we are able to identify important targets.
Targets include molecules that control and drive inflammation in the body which are called cytokines. These include interleukins (IL), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and other proteins which occur naturally and work to stimulate the immune response in the body. The biologics used in treating juvenile arthritis are given subcutaneously (under the skin) or intravenously over a period of years. Different biologics work better for the subgroups of juvenile arthritis.
There's no long-term safety information for the use of these drugs in children, but we have significant experience using them in adults that have RA. The Biologics are used to treat juvenile arthritis are potent drugs which suppress the immune system and can raise risks of opportunistic (unusual) infections, regular infections, and tuberculosis.
When a drug is found to benefit adults with RA in large clinical trials it may be studied by drug manufacturers to see if children with juvenile arthritis may benefit from the drug. The FDA considers the potential and known risks of a drug to determine is the benefits of using that drug outweigh the risks for children with juvenile arthritis.
What is Hyperhidrosis?
February 6, 2016
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a common disorder which produces a lot of unhappiness. An estimated 2-3% of Americans suffer from excessive sweating of the underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis) or of the palms and soles of the feet (palmoplantar hyperhidrosis). Underarm problems tend to start in late adolescence, while palm and sole sweating often begins earlier, around the age 13 (on the average). Untreated, these problems may continue throughout life.
Sweating is embarrassing, it stains clothes, ruins romance, and complicates business and social interactions. Severe cases can have serious practical consequences as well, making it hard for people who suffer from it to hold a pen, grip a car steering wheel, or shake hands.
If you just sweat more than other people when it's hot or you're exerting yourself, that's not usually a sign of trouble. Sweating is a normal reaction when your body's working harder and needs to cool itself down.
Hyperhidrosis doesn't usually pose a serious threat to your health, but it can sometimes lead to physical and emotional problems.
Excessive sweating increases the risk of developing fungal infections, particularly on the feet – most commonly fungal nail infections and athlete's foot. The emotional impact of living with hyperhidrosis can be severe. Many people with the condition feel unhappy and, in some cases, depressed.
Through a systematic evaluation of causes and triggers of hyperhidrosis, followed by a judicious, stepwise approach to hyperhidrosis treatment, many people with this annoying disorder can sometimes achieve good results and improved quality of life.

Drug Makers Run Up Prices Before Health Care Reform Passes
Even as drug makers promise to support Washington's health care overhaul by shaving $8 billion a year off the nation's drug costs after the legislation takes effect, the industry has been raising its prices at the fastest rate in years.
In the last year, the industry has raised the wholesale prices of brand-name prescription drugs by about 9 percent, according to industry analysts. That will add more than $10 billion to the nation's drug bill, which is on track to exceed $300 billion this year. By at least one analysis, it is the highest annual rate of inflation for drug prices since 1992.
The drug trend is distinctly at odds with the direction of the Consumer Price Index, which has fallen by 1.3 percent in the last year.
Stephen W. Schondelmeyer, a pharmaceutical economics professor at the University of Minnesota, said, "Whenever we have major legislation anticipated, we see a run-up in drug price increases."

Knee Replacement in India
India has become the favourite destination for people looking for affordable knee joint replacement or affordable knee treatment abroad without compromising on the quality of care and services. India offers great and unique advantages for knee replacement surgery.
IndiCure associated best knee replacement hospitals in India offer a comprehensive range of knee surgical options at affordable prices. Few of the knee surgery options at these best orthopaedic hospitals in India are listed below:
Knee Replacement success rate in India
Total Knee replacement is the best treatment for arthritis when all other conservative treatments like medicine, physiotherapy etc have failed to relieve the patient of disabling knee pain. During a total knee replacement, the surgeon removes the damaged cartilage and bone from the surface of your knee and replaces them with man- made surface of metal and plastic
The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and takes about 2-3 hours. An 8-12 inch incision is made in the front of the knee and the artificial joint is attached to the femur or thigh bone with special material.
Minimally Invasive knee Replacement
Minimally invasive surgery has revolutionized knee replacement surgery as well as many fields of medicine. Its key characteristic is that it uses specialized techniques and instruments to enable the surgeon to perform major surgery without a large incision.
Minimally invasive knee joint replacement requires a much smaller incision, 3 to 5 inches, versus the standard approach and incision. The smaller, less invasive approaches result in less tissue damage by allowing the surgeon to work between the fibres of the quadriceps muscles instead of requiring an incision through the tendon. It may lead to less pain, decreased recovery time and better motion due to less scar tissue formation.
The results of total knee replacement are very gratifying. One can enjoy an active lifestyle after the surgery free of pain
Partial Knee Replacement
Partial knee replacement or Uni-compartmental knee replacement is an option for patients with osteoarthritis of a part of the knee joint. In a uni-compartmental knee replacement, only the damaged compartment is replaced with metal and plastic.
This is ideal for the younger patient in the 40's or 50's with uni-compartmental arthritis and this could be the first knee replacement for this patient (postponing TKR by fifteen years).
It could also be the last knee replacement for the very elderly patient after 80. It is also known as Uni-condylar or Uni- compartmental knee replacement surgery.
Simultaneous Bilateral Knee Replacement - Both Knee Replacement Surgery
Simultaneous knee replacement or bilateral knee replacement means both knees are replaced at the same surgery, in one day. With advanced technology and minimally invasive knee replacement techniques, it is possible to perform simultaneous knee replacement in many patients.
The benefit of simultaneous knee replacement is less cost, one time and lesser stay at the hospital, one time anaesthesia, lesser and one time rehabilitation. The surgeon decides the candidacy of the patient if he/ she is suitable for both knee replacement at the same time.
Revision Knee Replacement
Our network of best orthopaedic hospitals in India also offers revision knee replacement surgery with the most advanced prosthesis. Revision knee replacement surgery is performed by Computer Assisted Surgery.

Computer Navigation System
In computer assisted Knee Replacement, the computer guides the surgeon in precisely planning the exact amount and angle of bone to be removed during surgery. This, in conventional method is done by simple eye-balling.
This technology helps to perform the surgery through small incision (Minimally Invasive Surgery) with 100% precision, eliminating "Human Error" during surgery and helps in perfectly aligning and balancing of knee joint (with accuracy of 0.5 mm and 0.5 degrees). It also helps in increasing implant longevity (20-30 years)

Chi Sigma Iota (CSI), the counseling honor society, instituted a new advocacy initiative that has long-term implications for leadership training through CSI chapters on university campuses throughout the world. The CSI Executive Council decided to make advocacy for counselors a long-term, sustained commitment. CSI leaders wish that this effort be as broadly based and inclusive as the profession itself.As a consequence, in May of 1998, an invited group of leaders in the profession met in Greensboro, NC, to share, discuss, and compare perceptions on a common vision for the advocacy of counselors and the services that they provide to others. The outcomes of the meeting were so positive that the participating organizations asked that a follow up conference be held in December in order further on the work underway.
ACA immediate Past-President Courtland Lee accepted the original invitation to collaborate with CSI in instituting this new initiative in May and ACA President Loretta Bradley offered her support to ensure that the results of these efforts are made available during the ACA 1999 World Conference in San Diego in April.
All counselors entered the counseling profession with a desire to help others. Client advocacy feels right as a consequence. Counselors advocating for counselors and the services they provide may seem selfish or self-serving. However, a counselor does not need to be in the field long before realizing that in the absence of advocacy for the profession, the right to be a counselor serving any particular population would be very severely limited.Every occupational group must be proactive in the marketplace or they will become extinct over time. Counselors must not only believe in their profession's preparation standards, graduate programs, credentialing requirements, and scope of services, but they must educate, inform, and promote them to legislators, employers, third party payers, and the public at large. This can be done most effectively, however, while addressing advocacy for our clients as well.
While CSI has implicitly supported both client and counselor advocacy by the very nature of its mission and purpose, CSI leaders were left wondering if there was more they could do for counselor advocacy through our almost 200 chapters and more than 8,000 active members.Learning how to advocate for the counseling profession is a leadership competence worthy of the attention of CSI. Sixty percent of CSI members are students just launching their careers as counselors and the other 40 percent are experienced practitioners and counselor educators.With these assets in mind, seeking the insight, experience, and collaboration of others in the profession seemed essential. By meeting together, we hoped that all might benefit by a shared vision, a clearer idea of what is being done, what needs to be done, and how best to achieve what we hold as common goals, particularly in the area of professional advocacy for counselors and those they serve.Not only were these hopes realized, but a renewed vigor was uncovered by the participants of all organizations represented. The hope of the participants now is for a sustained, coordinated effort by all those organizations interested in this essential activity.
Representatives at the first conference agreed on a number of vital points. Among the agreements were those about common themes on advocacy, the desirability of collaboration in the definition of those themes, and a commitment to follow through with their implementation. There were six themes identified for further definition: marketplace recognition, inter-professional issues, intra-professional issues, counselor education, research, and client/constituency wellness.
Those present were sensitive to the fact that not all potentially interested groups were represented. Fortunately, a preliminary survey report sponsored by CSI and ACA of a broad representation of counseling groups was presented and the information was included in the deliberations of the focus groups. Data from the completed survey has been distributed widely to others interested in the topic. Among the organizations officially represented in the first conference were ACA, the American College Counseling Association (ACCA), the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES), the Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development (AMCD), the American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA), the American Rehabilitation Counseling Association (ARCA), the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), the International Association of Marriage and Family Counseling (IAMFC) the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), Chi Sigma Iota (CSI), ERIC-CASS, the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC), and the North Carolina Counseling Association (NCCA) (state branch). A draft report was sent to all participants for their input. Interested organizations were invited to respond to the report as well.
The purpose of the December meeting was to revisit the themes, the goals and objectives for achieving each theme, time lines, and the identification of resources in their implementation and follow through. As with the first conference, there was agreement on a number of important general points.
First, the participants agreed that advocacy is necessarily two pronged in nature. Without advocacy for both counselors and their clients, neither is meaningful. Because "counseling" as an activity is practiced by other service providers, advocacy for clients alone could result in other service providers being the sole source of such counseling services. Likewise, to advocate only for "guild" issues wins neither support nor respect from those whose assistance counselors need. As has been noted by the continuing series of articles in the ACA Counseling Today as well as other publications and the theme for this year's world conference, client issues are central to our efforts as a profession.
Another agreement among the participants was the need to seek broad based, active support for the goals, objectives, and strategies of the overall plan. While much good work is already underway, as evidenced by our several successes of recent months and years, a collaborative, comprehensive approach holds the greatest promise for the best use of our mutual resources. Every counseling association will be invited to adopt resolutions in support of the goals coming out of these conferences. Each will be invited to strengthen our collaboration through some organized forum such as the conferences held in May and December.
Philosophically, the participants agreed that counseling as a profession is unique among service providers because of its historical focus upon facilitating optimum human development across the life span. While no less concerned with the results of human tragedy nor its repair in the process of helping, counselors are members of the one discipline for which prevention and the facilitation of optimum wellness are fundamental goals. Our present health system is dysfunctional in its focus and delivery. Although funding for proactive interventions has been the exception rather than the rule, changes are now evident among insurers, managed care companies, business, and industry. While maintaining an advocacy position for clinical mental health, now is the time to promote our uniqueness as a profession committed to prevention and the enhancement of wellness.
What follows is the outcome of the two conferences. The recommendations of these task forces, each of which dealt with two themes, are presented. Although divided by task force, it should be noted that each report was approved by the conference participants as a whole. It is based upon the insight of experienced, totally dedicated advocates for the profession and our clients. As with all such documents, it can only reflect some of what actually can and should be done to realize our goals. The participants are aware that not all recommendations or activities can or even should be considered a priority for all associations asked to endorse it. The nature of this advocacy initiative has such depth and scope that to endorse it in principle will be sufficient to communicate support for further dialogue.
Likewise, the form of the report cannot do justice to the real work that is and needs to be done. Themes are identified as though they are discrete, but in practice they are not discrete and often cannot be separated. Advocacy, for example, by its very nature must include client as well as counselor concerns and needs. As a consequence, the organizers and participants welcome suggestions and comments in order to help us move forward effectively in this initiative.
Whereas, there are national standards for the preparation of professional counselors;Whereas, there are both nationally accredited and other graduate programs dedicated to the preparation of professional counselors;Whereas, there are national standards for the certification of professional counselors;Whereas, there are state legislative requirements for the credentialing of professional counselors;Whereas, there are state, regional, and national professional associations dedicated to advancing the scientific, educational, and philosophical foundations of the counseling profession and its members;Whereas, there are individuals, couples, families, and organizations within our society for whom counselors advocate and serve; andWhereas, there are obstacles to the realization of the full potential of professional counselors in service to those whom they serve, including challenges to the scope of practice, equal opportunity to serve those who need and desire their services, equal payment for services and the right to practice at all;
Therefore, be it resolved that this association supports in principle the goals, objectives, and proposed actions outlined in the Counselor Advocacy Leadership Conferences Report and remains committed to further dialogue on these and other topics related to advocacy.
Whereas, there are 125 nationally-accredited counselor education programs;Whereas, there are over 65,000 state credentialed professional counselors;Whereas, there are over 45,000 nationally credentialed professional counselors;Whereas, there are over 110,000 members of state and national counseling associations;Whereas, there is evidence that counseling services help to alleviate and prevent both acute and transitional human development challenges;Whereas, there are persistent and substantial challenges to the right of professional counselors to be paid for their services, to be employed in a variety of settings, and to provide services to individuals, couples, families, and organizations who need them; andWhereas, there is greater resource and potential impact through collaborative, coordinated, cooperative efforts of all professional counselors and their associations;
Therefore, be it resolved that this association supports in principle the need for collaboration on a comprehensive plan of advocacy for clients and the professional counselors who serve them and will be represented in future dialogue about how best to achieve this goal including but not limited to a Consortium for Counselor Advocacy (CCA).
1. This association supports in principle the goals, objectives, and proposed actions outlined in the Counselor Advocacy Leadership Conferences Report and remains committed to further dialogue on these and other topics related to advocacy.
2. This association supports in principle the need for collaboration on a comprehensive plan of advocacy for clients and the professional counselors who serve them and will be represented in future dialogue about how best to achieve this goal including but not limited to a Consortium for Counselor Advocacy (CCA).
The Consortium for Counseling Advocacy (CCA) is a new initiative to insure coordination and collaboration in efforts of the various counseling associations committed to similar goals and objectives for client welfare and counselors' right to practice. All divisions and branches of the American Counseling Association (ACA), the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC), the Commission for Certified Rehabilitation Counselors, (CRCC), the Council of Rehabilitation Education (CORE), the American Association of State Counseling Boards (AASCB), and Chi Sigma Iota Counseling Academic and Professional Honor Society International (CSI) are invited to participate in the formation, implementation, and maintenance of the CCA. The need for the Consortium was identified by the participants of two national conferences on counseling advocacy.
The Consortium is designed to provide a forum for the identification of issues, consensus on resolution and action, and mechanisms for cooperation and collaboration at state and national levels of activity. Representatives of the constituent organizations agree to sponsor a representative to come to one meeting per year related to the purposes outlined in the Counselor Advocacy Leadership Conferences report (April, 1999). One goal will be to minimize duplication and maximize the use of exiting resources. Among the first priorities will be establishment of means for communication and continuation of the work already underway. Initially, as requested by the conference participants, CSI will continue follow-up activities needed to facilitate the transition from the conference dialogue to actions outlined in the conferences? report.
Each association noted above is asked to respond to the invitation for participation through adoption of the resolutions or motions associated with the conferences and appointment of one or more representatives to participate in the work of the Consortium.
To insure that all counselor education students graduate with a clear identity and sense of pride as professional counselors.
ACA, its branches and divisions, CSI, CACREP, and NBCC.
The needed structure is in place: counselor education programs (N= 400 possibilities), 125 CACREP nationally accredited programs, state and national credentialing agencies, the professional organizations and their memberships, a web of networks, the individual and organizational skills that will result from these efforts, and opportunities for getting financial support.
ACES is the most logical organization within ACA to provide leadership. CSI is next in its potential to provide a positive influence. Naturally, they require the concurrence and involvement of all counseling associations at various times and places.
By the year 2000, counseling associations and agencies will have passed resolutions necessary to establishing a sound basis for the realization of these goals and objectives over a span of five to ten years.
To develop and implement a unified, collaborative advocacy plan for the advancement of counselors and those whom they serve.
There is a need for counseling associations to address these objectives through financial and organizational means. Through strategic plans and specific actions, governing bodies and their officers set the priorities that in turn direct resources and guide staff and volunteers in their efforts.
To assure that professional counselors in all settings are suitably compensated for their services and free to provide service to the public within all areas of their competence.
All counselors, ACA, its branches and divisions, CSI, CACREP, and NBCC.
Among the needs will be those for a clear, articulated plan with a commitment for collaboration by the various counseling associations and agencies toward its implementation, identification of staff and volunteer resources needed to achieve desired outcomes, and financial support for specific activities targeted to specific, desired outcomes.
To establish collaborative working relationships with other organizations, groups, and disciplines on matters of mutual interest and concern to achieve our advocacy goals for both counselors and their clients.
All counseling associations at both the state and national levels have on-going opportunities for contact and dialogue with other professional organizations and agencies. In many instances, inter-professional cooperation is already present on some issues. Client needs are held in common in many ways.
By the year 2000, counseling associations and agencies will have passed resolutions and taken action necessary to implementing the actions above.
To promote professional counselors and the services that they provide based upon scientifically sound research.
This goal will be addressed by counselor educators, students in counseling, and counseling organizations such as ACA and its divisions, CHDF, CSI, NBCC, CACREP, and ERIC-CASS:
All counselors, counselors in training, counselor educators through ACA, its branches and divisions (particularly ACES), CSI, CACREP, and NBCC.
Among the needs will be those for a clear, articulated plan for research with a commitment for collaboration by the various counseling associations and agencies toward its implementation, identification of staff and volunteer resources needed to achieve the desired outcomes, and financial support for specific activities targeted to specific, desired outcomes.
To promote optimum human development across the life span through prevention and wellness.
This goal will be addressed by counselor educators and counseling organizations such as CACREP, ACA, its divisions:
ACA and its branches and divisions, CSI, CACREP, NBCC, counselor education programs.
To achieve this goal will require funding for pre-service and in-service training on wellness, effective legislative lobbying with an emphasis upon the right of all citizens to have access to wellness- facilitating life opportunities, and the development of curriculum resources on wellness.

Pop star Katy Perry used giant skeletons to skewer President Donald Trump and U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May during her performance Wednesday night at the 2017 Brit Awards.
Surrounded on-stage by rows of miniature houses, Perry performed her "purposeful" pop song "Chained to the Rhythm." She was soon singing and dancing alongside two giant skeletons, donning outfits similar to ones worn by Trump and May when the Conservative Party leader visited the White House last month.
Social media users were quick to post pictures of the singer's onstage parodies of the two political leaders.

Did anyone else realise the skeletons on Katy Perry's Brit Awards performance is Theresa May and Donald Trump?😂 #BRITs2017 pic.twitter.com/0Li55hMHV4

Perry's politically-charged Brit Awards performance came exactly 10 days after she performed the song at the 2017 Grammy Awards while wearing an armband that read "PERSIST" and a Planned Parenthood button.
On Tuesday, the 32-year-old singer released the music video for "Chained to the Rhythm." The four-minute video, filled with political symbolism, mourns a broken American dream and appears to critique Trump's immigration policies.
Watch Perry's performance in the video above.

High Finance bringing high hopes to Perryville
LEXINGTON, Ky. - High Finance drew the outside post as the probable favorite for the Friday feature at Keeneland, the $200,000 Perryville Stakes, for which entries were drawn Tuesday.
Owned by West Point Stable and trained by Rick Violette, High Finance earned a 108 Beyer Speed Figure in winning a second-level allowance on the Aug. 26 Travers undercard at Saratoga.
"We're thrilled with how he ran on Travers Day," said Jeff Lifson, director of Midwest operations for West Point. "Off that big effort, we've got some pretty high ambitions for him."
High Finance is part of a full field of 12 3-year-olds entered in the Grade 3 Perryville, which will be run over Polytrack at the Beard Course distance of seven furlongs and 184 feet. Other logical contenders include Court Folly, winner of the Grade 2 Amsterdam at Saratoga; Likely, winner of the Lafayette here in the spring; and Latent Heat, an impressive winner of his last two starts, both in allowance company in New York.
From the rail out, this is the lineup for the eighth running of the Perryville:
Likely, Julien Leparoux to ride; Vanilla Scoop, Willie Martinez; Midnight Lute, Victor Espinoza; Court Folly, Calvin Borel; Mach Ride, Robby Albarado; Reigning Court, Corey Lanerie; Fabled, Eddie Castro; Sailors Sunset, Jesus Castanon; Lewis Michael, Rene Douglas; Latent Heat, Edgar Prado; Praying for Cash, Rafael Bejarano; and High Finance, Garrett Gomez.
Gorella's race may eclipse QEII
In most years, the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup is clearly the most important race held on the second weekend of the Keeneland meet. But with Gorella scheduled to run in the the First Lady on the same program, that race may deserve top billing here Saturday.
Gorella, the 4-year-old filly who was sensational in winning the Aug. 12 Beverly D. in her last start, will be a solid favorite in the Grade 2, $400,000 First Lady in a field expected to include My Typhoon, Karen's Caper, Sweet Talker, and probably another three or four fillies and mares. Entries for all 10 Saturday races were to be drawn Wednesday.
Gorella, with Julien Leparoux to ride again, is using the one-mile First Lady as a prep for the Breeders' Cup, although trainer Patrick Biancone has not committed to the BC Mile or BC Filly and Mare Turf.
The $500,000 QEII, a Grade 1 invitational at 1 1/8 miles, is expected to get a capacity field of 12 3-year-old fillies. The connections of the following horses have accepted invitations: Aunt Henny, Citronnade, Foxysox, Germance, Lady of Venice, Magnificent Song, Maxxi Arte, Mauralakana, Quiet Royal, Take the Ribbon, Vacare, and Vague.
Behaving Badly tops third stakes
Besides the First Lady and QEII, a third rich stakes for fillies and mares also will be on a terrific Saturday card: the $300,000 Thoroughbred Club of America, a Grade 3 race at six furlongs.
Behaving Badly, the New York-bred mare who has won 9 of 12 career starts, looks like a heavy favorite in a field expected to number seven or eight, according to Keeneland stakes coordinator Tyler Picklesimer.
Bel Air Beauty will go on to BC
Frank Brothers said Tuesday at Churchill Downs that Bel Air Beauty returned in good shape from her 47-1 upset in the Alcibiades Stakes and will indeed be pointed for the BC Juvenile Fillies. "She seems to be fine," said Brothers.
Meanwhile, Passport, the previously unbeaten colt who finished fifth Saturday in the Breeders' Futurity, is doubtful to run back in the BC Juvenile, although "I wouldn't completely rule it out," said Brothers. "He came out of the race fine, although I'm not sure what we're going to do with him."
Flower Alley shipping to Churchill
Flower Alley, the Todd Pletcher-trained colt who was second in the BC Classic last fall, was scheduled to arrive Tuesday at Churchill from New York, said Pletcher assistant Michael McCarthy. Despite the fact that Flower Alley ran poorly in his last two starts, the Whitney and Woodward, a crack at the BC Classic has not been ruled out, said McCarthy.
"Nothing has been decided," he said. "We'll see how he does once he gets here."
* The Spinster might be giving the BC Distaff more fillies and mares than it needs. Besides the winner, Asi Siempre, as many as five of her beaten rivals are reported to be under serious consideration for the Distaff: Soul Search, Lemons Forever, Happy Ticket, Summerly, and Spun Sugar.
* Friday will be College Scholarship Day once again at Keeneland, with 10 scholarships worth $1,000 each being raffled off throughout the day. Last spring, more than 1,500 students representing
68 colleges registered for the event.
