There are two general types of surgical procedure for amputation: (1) the closed or "flap" amputation and (2) the open or "guillotine" amputation. The latter is often required when infection is present and there is a need for free drainage from the operative site. A second surgical procedure involving stump (or residual limb) revision or closure is needed after the guillotine procedure. This is done only after the infection has been eliminated.
Patients undergoing amputation will need help in dealing with the changes in body image as they adjust to the loss of a limb. They should be encouraged and given the opportunity to express feelings of anxiety, grief, anger, and depression, and given guidance in working toward a healthy acceptance of their handicap.
In general, physical preparation of the patient undergoing surgical amputation includes measures to promote optimum health and well-being, to establish nutritional and fluid balances, and to increase muscular strength and endurance levels. A program of exercises may be started to help the patient develop skill in using an overhead trapeze, crutches, and a walker and transferring from wheelchair to bed.
Traction was formerly commonly used after guillotine amputations but is rarely used nowadays. Generally such stumps are closed by delayed primary closure on the fourth or fifth day after amputation to save time in the hospital and accelerate rehabilitation.
Fitting of a prosthesis may be delayed or immediate depending on the condition of the patient and the reason for the amputation. Immediate fitting of a prosthesis involves the application of a rigid plastic dressing which serves to protect the stump and prevent edema. The dressing is similar to a cast and the patient will require cast care. The temporary prosthetic device is applied at the time of surgery and includes a pylon and foot-ankle assembly.
Early ambulation is a major advantage of immediate fitting of a prosthesis. Other benefits arise from the local compression exerted by the dressing. This serves to inhibit bleeding, to mold and help shrink the stump, and to reduce phantom sensations, pain, and contractures. Unfortunately, not all amputees are candidates for immediate fitting. The technique is not advised for amputations above the knee or above the elbow, for weak and debilitated patients, or for those who are mentally or emotionally unable to cooperate with efforts at rehabilitation. The procedure also requires the services of prosthetic experts.
The more conventional, and probably more frequently chosen, technique of delayed prosthetic fitting requires special care of the stump and a gradual preparation of the patient for weight-bearing and ambulation. During the immediate postoperative period the stump dressings are changed or reinforced as ordered. The stump usually is wrapped with elastic bandages or covered with stump socks. The bandages are checked frequently for signs of bleeding and for slippage, which may lead to a tourniquet effect and the occlusion of blood supply. Exercises are started as soon as possible, regardless of the surgical approach, in order to strengthen the muscles and prevent contractures.
The patient with amputation of an upper limb also may receive immediate or delayed fitting of a prosthesis. When the surgeon has chosen the delayed fitting technique, the patient requires stump care similar to that for the lower limb except that an upper limb stump is bandaged more loosely, especially when amputation was the result of trauma. Exercises are begun the day after surgery and within ten to fourteen days the patient is fitted with a temporary prosthesis.

Reds Return To Top 3 At State
Easter A Conference Champs Wrap Up Splendid Season With 53-11 Record
The Glasgow Reds' mostly sizzling summer of 2013 ends like this: third place among eight teams in Montana-Alberta American Legion Class A Baseball Conference championship tournament.
It was third place with an exclamation point, even if the Big Red Machine sputtered at the end in an 8-1 loss to Belgrade that put the Bandits in the title game against eventual champion Laurel.
This summer goes down as one to remember for the Reds. They went 53-11, winning the Eastern A conference title. That makes more than 90 victories over two seasons.
At State, they placed in the top three for the second straight year after 2012's runner-up performance. Reds Nation also won its second Team and Fans Sportsmanship Award in a row at State – this coming after the Eastern A District Tournament was yanked from Glasgow to Billings at the last minute due to field condition concerns.
"Wins are great, and as coach if you get the players better, that's great –but if you make them better citizens, that's even better," Reds manager Jack Sprague told The Courier on Tuesday, referring to the sportsmanship award.
After the last game at Helena's Kindrick Legion Field, Sprague told his players that he was proud of them and that they had "really pushed the program forward even if they they didn't feel like it at the moment. I told them to carry themselves like a Reds baseball player and not make bad decisions even though they made some poor decisions (mentally and defensively against Belgrade) … They were disappointed in their performance and they should be, but it's one of the things you have to live with."
And move on.
The Reds lose seven players to age restrictions, but 25 remain in the program and the roster limit is 18. That means they have enough players to field next year's club right now.
"I still need to evaluate guys who are coming up, but number-wise we're doing pretty good," Sprague said.
So a good foundation seems to be there for the program as Sprague looks to the second year of his three-year contract as skipper. He said having the district tournament shifted to Billings was disappointing, but he thanked the community for its support and said most everything has been "super good."
"If it keeps working out, I'll be back," he said. "What I coach for is the kids. If they want me back, I'll drive 50 miles each way (from his Wolf Point home) for them forever."
At State, the Reds went 3-2 over five games– including a 9-0, do-or-die gem Sunday over the champion Laurel Dodgers that put Glasgow in the third place game.
Just a week earlier, Laurel beat the Reds for the Eastern A tournament title. But this time around, Jason Thibault hurled a three-hit, seven strikeout shutout at the Dodgers. Gage Legare and Wacy Ortman each had two hits and two RBI, and Keil Krumweide went 4-for-6 with an RBI.
Earlier on Sunday, starter Andy Gardner struck out 14 Missoula Mavericks and allowed eight hits in a 4-2, complete game victory. Tom Leland went 2-for-4, cracking a two-run homer for both of his RBI. Ortman was 1-for-4 with an RBI single.
Glasgow beat the Northern A champion Lethbridge Miners, 10-5, in its opener – a game that started Thursday and ended Friday due to rain. The Libby Loggers beat the Reds, 5-2, on Saturday.
Sprague commended Thibault and Gardner for their must-win complete games – and Walt Dalbey for wanting to pitch both days of the rain-delayed opener, though he wasn't as sharp the second day and Lethbridge closed in.
At the plate, Krumwiede progressed all season and was at his best at the end, Sprague said. He also recognized Ortman and Leland as "staples" of the team that played well at State.
Laurel defeated Belgrade, 10-7, for its fourth Montana-Alberta championship in five years as tournament MVP and Reds killer Dakota Cortese went 4-for-5. The Dodgers advance to the Class A Northwest Regional Aug. 9-12 in Wheatland, Wyo.
"To be perfectly honest, if we weren't going to win, we wanted them to do it and I'm sure they felt the same way about us," Sprague said of Glasgow's Eastern A rivals. "They deserved it, they really did."

Hunting and Fishing Access
Department provides several specialized programs to provide for
hunting and fishing opportunities for persons with disabilities.
Fishing: These piers and platforms are in urban and rural
areas, on everything from small rivers to large lakes throughout
the state.
Fishing piers and on-shore fishing are designed to meet the
needs of people with physical disabilities, with protective
railings or edges around them. The levels of accessibility of
nearby parking areas and the paths leading to the piers and
platforms vary from site to site.
Hunting: Special license and permits and non-ambulatory deer
hunt offered through the controlled hunts program.
Precautions:With any outdoor facility exposed to the elements, there is always some degree of physical risk and considerable variability of site conditions. Due to the large areas of some of these facilities, there may be little chance that Department personnel would be at hand in case of an accident or emergency.

"The Descendants" actress Shailene Woodley is in early talks to play Mary Jane Watson in the proposed "The Amazing Spider-Man" sequel at Sony Pictures says Variety.
With casting about to begin, character breakdowns have gone out to talent agencies with not just Mary Jane Watson joining this outing. Turns out Harry Osborn and an unspecified villain are also being cast soon.
Woodley is the studio's leading choice for Mary Jane and, if cast, would join returning stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. Electro is also rumored to be one of the villains thanks to the post-credits sequence of the first film involving a shadowy figure and lots of lightning (Electro has the ability to control electricity after being struck by lightning).
Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are producing the film which will begin shooting early next year for a release May 2014.

Everyone knows that liberals control the old media outlets that are rapidly becoming irrelevant. The national print publications and broadcast television networks have historically tilted to the left. In fact, this week, it was no surprise to learn that the Washington Post will assign 20 reporters to investigate every aspect of Donald Trump's background, hoping to find salacious dirt on the GOP front runner. In contrast, they have shown limited interest in assigning additional reporters to investigate the many scandals swirling around Hillary Clinton.
While the Washington Post is known as a liberal newspaper, many people were shocked this week to learn that Facebook, the social media giant, is also staunchly liberal.
Thanks to an expose by Gizmodo, Facebook's internal operations involving trending news stories was revealed.
Former news "curators" reported that Facebook suppresses conservative news reports, while promoting stories involving radical leftists. This has a major influence on younger voters, who tend to learn about news stories from Facebook and other social media sites.
After this story broke, the founder and CEO of Facebook, Marc Zuckerberg, defended his website and refuted the allegations. In a personal post, Zuckerberg claimed that there was "no evidence that this report is true." However, frequent Facebook users can most certainly attest that the report of liberal bias is unquestionably true.
The most compelling evidence is that the top executives of Facebook are liberals. Zuckerberg is an outspoken supporter of immigration reform and amnesty for illegal aliens. He almost certainly has a very negative view of Donald Trump's call for a border wall with Mexico.
One of Zuckerberg's top lieutenants is the company's Chief Operating Officer, Sheryl Sandberg, who contributed $2,700 to Hillary Clinton in April. In aBloomberg interview, Sandberg noted that she was "very supportive of Hillary Clinton," and would "like to see her as president."
Ironically, the Facebook executive at the center of this news bias controversy is Tom Stocky, who manages the Trending Topics section of the site. Last October, Stocky and his wife donated $5,400 to Hillary Clinton.
Thus, the top company executives are either Democrat donors or activists. It certainly does not seem that Facebook is too neutral, in fact, it is a social media cheerleader for Hillary Clinton.

The U.S. credit union regulator sued JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) and Washington Mutual late Friday over $2.2 billion in mortgage securities sold to credit unions that collapsed because of losses from the securities.
Continue Reading Below
The suit is the third the regulator, the National Credit Union Administration, has filed against JPMorgan involving mortgage losses, and the second in the past month.
In December, it sued the bank over $3.6 billion in securities sold by Bear Stearns, which JPMorgan acquired during the financial crisis. In June 2011, the NCUA sued over some $1.4 billion in securities in which JPMorgan was the underwriter and seller. Both suits are still pending.
JPMorgan bought the assets of Washington Mutual in 2008 after it failed and was seized by regulators.
In the Friday lawsuit, the NCUA accused the bank of making misrepresentations in underwriting and selling mortgage-backed securities to U.S. Central, Western Corporate and Southwest Corporate federal credit unions.
The three credit unions became insolvent on the losses and were placed into NCUA conservatorship, the agency said.
"The damage caused by the actions of firms like Washington Mutual has been extremely expensive to contain and repair," NCUA board chairman Debbie Matz said in a statement announcing the lawsuit, "it's only right that the people who caused the damage be required to pick up that burden, as well."
The lawsuit adds to a growing list of cases JPMorgan, the largest U.S. bank, is fighting over conduct tied to the financial crisis, including the conduct of entities it acquired at the height of the crisis.
A JPMorgan representative could not immediately be reached for comment.
In the past two years the agency has brought similar actions against Barclays Capital (NYSE:BCS), Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), RBS Securities (NYSE:RBS), UBS Securities (NYSE:UBS), Wachovia and others.
Most of the cases are pending, but it has settled claims against Citigroup (NYSE:C), Deutsche Bank Securities (NYSE:DB) and HSBC (NYSE:HBC) for around $170 million.
The credit union regulator has been trying to recover losses related to the failure of five institutions that it seized in 2009 and 2010 after they ran into trouble due to the crumbling housing market.
The wholesale credit unions have experienced more troubles than their retail counterparts because they did not face the same restrictions on permitted investments, leading to big losses during the financial crisis.

Unabridged Audiobook
Publisher: Brilliance Audio
Date: July 2012
Duration: 7 hours 24 minutes
When an abandoned warehouse in Washington, D.C., bursts into flames on a cold winter night, the first investigators on the scene instantly spot similarities to a string of recent fires in the area. There is one difference, however: This one has a human casualty. The local team insists the murder is an isolated incident, concluding that the culprit must be a bored young man suffering from an uncontrollable impulse to act out anger and sexual aggression. But when Special Agent Maggie O'Dell is called in, everything she sees indicates that this is the work of a far more dangerous and calculating criminal. Jeffery Cole, a reporter looking for his big break, is also at the scene of the crime and decides to make Maggie part of his news piece, putting the spotlight on her and digging up aspects of her past she would rather forget. Maggie's half brother, Patrick, is back in D.C. too, working for a private firefighting company, and he is frequently called in as these fires continue to light up around the city. As the acts of arson become more brazen and bodies keep turning up, Maggie's professional and personal worlds begin to collide dangerously. She starts to fear for Patrick's safety as he is sent into the flames set by this madman again and again, and Jeffery is becoming a very unwelcome distraction. Meanwhile, the arsonist-murderer may be much closer than Maggie imagines. Fast-paced and filled with haunting imagery of raging fires and smoke-blackened skies, this sizzling new addition to the Maggie O'Dell series is Alex Kava's most thrilling work yet.

The following is from the March 20 City Council meeting.
The 100th anniversary of the Girls Scouts of America was recognized at the meeting,
Mayor Jane Egly, who was once a Girl Scout, read a proclamation extolling the accomplishments of the group, which includes developing leaders in education, business and government; hours of community service; and sending cookies to the military.
The proclamation was accepted by Katie Palina.
Girl Scouts Natalie Olson, Danielle Borelli and Stephanie Andrews distributed cookies to elected officials and city staff on the dais.
The public is allowed to speak on any subject not on the agenda. Speakers generally are limited to three minutes, but the time can be adjusted by the council.
•Amy Walker said that beaches are for people, not dogs, and asked the council to ban dogs from the beach. Previous attempts to keep the dogs off Laguna beaches have failed due to public protest.
•Festival of Arts President Fred Sattler presented the council with a check for $1,200 to help pay for recent lighting improvements for art in City Hall.
Sattler said the donation was in appreciation of the emergence of City Hall as an important place to exhibit art, such as the "Art That's Small at City Hall" exhibition.
•Bruce Hopping proposed a tax incentive for businesses that install art around their property in Laguna Canyon and the recommission of an art project at the Brooks Street stairs.
•Alex Gill-Gerards thanked the council for its support of the gay and lesbian community.
•Robert Ross said that at the last meeting he was ignored when he asked about attorney fees and administrative fees for the assessment bonds.
City Treasurer Laura Parisi explained again the costs and benefits of the issue.
Council members and staff report on events they have attended, people with whom they have met and other items of public interest.
•City Clerk Martha Anderson announced that council will make two appointments to the Parking, Traffic and Circulation Committee on April 3.
•City Manager John Pietig introduced Ben Siegel, who will be assuming Susan Cannan's position as assistant to the city manager/director of community services when Cannan retires at the end of March.
•Councilwoman Toni Iseman reported on her March 11 to 14 trip to Washington, D.C., to attend the National League of Cities Convention. A representative of the Ferguson Group took her to meet with representatives of John Campbell, Loretta Sanchez, Dana Rohrabacher, Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein to discuss what is going on in Laguna and what its needs are.
She said one of the advantages of going to the convention is learning how other cities handle problems similar to those in Laguna Beach. She was told by a member of the league's Telecommunications Committee that there might be some things the city could do in regard to location of facilities.
Iseman hoped to get assistance for undergrounding utilities in the canyon. She said she did not understand why Edison was replacing the utility poles in the canyon when the city plans to underground them.
Pietig said Edison representative Steve Nelson explained that new cables are needed to provide more electricity in town, and the poles must be replaced to carry the additional weight. Pietig said he was told that the installation of the new poles could not be delayed because of safety concerns and power needs.
Iseman opined that undergrounding in the canyon should be at the top priority.
•Mayor Jane Egly
congratulated the Visitors & Conference Bureau on A la Carte, a wine and food festival, and announced that No Square Theatre would be doing two more musicals this spring.
Items require separate discussion and citizen input, if desired, before the council makes a determination.
Heritage, TechComm committee appointments
Tamara Campbell, Anne Frank, Rick Gold, Carl Iverson and Jon Madison were reappointed to terms through March 31, 2014.
No one applied for seats on the TechComm Committee. The council will discuss at the April 17 meeting whether to continue the committee and, if so, under what objectives or direction.
PTC annual report
Parking, Traffic and Circulation Committee Chairman Ernest Hackman reported 676 traffic collisions in Laguna Beach in 2010 — 149 of them included injuries — and 505 arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Collisions went up in 2011 to 611, injury accidents increased to 154 and DUI arrests jumped to 641.
Requests for action by the committee only rose by two to 34 in 2011.
"The vast majority of requests are related to parking," said Hackman.
Support for Wildlife Corridor, 5-0
The council voted unanimously to ask the FBI to prepare an environmental impact statement on its proposal to take over a long-planned wildlife corridor, supporting the position of the city of Irvine and environmentalists.
Charging station fees and parking policy, 5-0
The council voted to charge electric vehicles at the city's two charging stations at one half of the going rate for adjacent parking spaces because charging is limited to four hours — about half the time allowed for daily parking.
Sewer improvement update
Water Quality Director David Shissler and Senior Water Quality Analyst Will Holoman summarized improvements to the city's wastewater system since 2002 and recommendations for the next 10 years of capital improvements.
The council overrode staff recommendations to hold off on rate increases and approved three consecutive increases starting next year.
Loma Terrace sewer contract, 5-0
The council approved a $94,000 contract with Psomas Inc. for the design of the Loma Terrace Sewer System Relocation Project.
A new sewer line will be installed under Third Street from the top of the hill, past City Hall, through the Lumberyard parking lot and terminate at the Laguna/South Orange County Water Authority lift station.
The project is to be designed to minimize disruption of downtown traffic and businesses, while consolidating numerous sewer lines and manholes and replacing deteriorated pipes.
Shissler was told to eliminate bad odors at the lift station.
Marine Protected Areas change, 5-0
The council gave final approval of an amendment to the Municipal Code to reflect changes in boundaries of the Marine Protected Areas that became effective on Jan. 1.
The next regularly scheduled meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday in City Council Chambers, 505 Forest Ave.

4/15 Thanks, Jackie
Jackie is the reason I'm playing today. His importance to the world is more than just baseball. There's the integration of baseball, of course, but the Civil Rights movement, the whole nine yards — my parents went through it. Without Jackie, there's no Hank, there's no Ken Griffey Jr., there's no Ryan Howard, there's no me. Every single day I think every player who is a minority in this game — all the way to Fukudome, Ichiro — you have to be thankful for what Jackie did and what he went through. I think what's missed is nobody knows what he really went through. At the end of his career, he probably aged 20, 30 years, more than everyone else, because of the beating that he took mentally — I just couldn't imagine. And for him to put up the numbers he did and to be the great player and Hall of Famer that he was, that's phenomenal. I owe it all to Jackie.

Thank you for writing this.
What pioneers like Jackie did for this country was so amazing and so necessary, I hope people realize how incredible he and people who share his courage are.
It's great to have you here in Chicago, sir. Looking forward to this summer in large part because of your contributions. And again, thank you.
Go CUBS!
Great post, Marlon. Jackie's talent was only surpassed by his courage. I'm proud to have players like you representing #42 today.
Good post Marlon. Its kinda cool seeing all of you guys wearing his number too- I am not INCREDIBLY familiar with the brewers bullpen so zoning in and out of the game made it confusing as to who was on the mound for them but its all worth the tribute to Mr. Jackie Robinson for overcoming the racial barrier and making an impact not only on his ballclub but opening doors for guys like Ernie Banks. Its a shame that they couldn't have broken down the barriers earlier- I would've liked to see what someone like Satchal Paige could've done in the pros during his prime years.
I love your attitude Marlon. Granted i've never met you but you seem like a relaxed guy who really wants to win and will have nothing but a positive influence on the rest of the ballclub. Somebody with your attitude and leadership skills is a valuable asset and I feel lucky to have you around in the clubhouse. We've been missing a personality like yours and I really hope you enjoy your time in center field.
I also hope that you don't mind the fact that every single writer in this town is going to compare you to your former teammate Milton Bradley. From what i've seen from you (watching you down at wrigley on opening day), I doubt you will have no problem getting the bleachers to fall in love with you. Even from day 1 when you tried to throw that sign back into the bleachers rather than having it confiscated by the groundskeepers- you're making a good impression- and you're also driving the baseball (which doesn't hurt around here.
As I said before I feel like we're lucky to have you- and as a fan I am really excited to see what you're capable of when the wind is blowing out to left! Good Luck with the 'stros.
It is beyond doubt that Jackie Robinson was not just a great baseball player, but also a man with unbelievable strength of character to endure the prejudice he encountered when he entered the 'Majors.'
People often forget though, where he came from, and the other great Negro League players who proved themselves better than their major league counter-parts time and again when the 2 leagues met each year. Players like Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson and of course the 1st black coach(3rd base for the Cubs) and Cubs own longtime scout, Buck O'Neil. These were the men that paved the way for Jackie. But were they bitter? I would recommend reading the auto-biography "I Was Right on Time" for all those who do not know much about this part of baseball's checkered past-without doubt, an honest, frank and charming account.
Marlon – great to have you on board… the batting line-up seems so much more potent and long with you there…
And you Hustle… like Reed.
Well put, Marlon. Let's not forget about Larry Doby, too.
