Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty for Acute Fracture
Toufic R. Jildeh, MD

INTRODUCTION AND HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
Proximal humerus fractures account for 5% of all fractures and are increasing in frequency,1 particularly among the elderly. It remains the second most common fracture of the upper extremity and third most common fracture in patients older than 65 years. Current research suggests an approximate threefold increase in the incidence of proximal humerus fractures, concomitant with the aging population.2 While a majority of proximal humerus fractures are minimally displaced and have acceptable clinical results with nonoperative treatment,3 for fractures with significant displacement, operative intervention is often indicated. Displaced three- and four-part fractures, treated nonoperatively, can result in chronic pain and loss of function. Unsurprisingly, due to the bone morphological changes associated with aging, elderly patients sustaining lower energy injuries often present with more complicated fracture patterns than the younger population1 and, as a result, can present a formidable challenge. Locked plating for proximal humerus fractures has been associated with high rates of osteonecrosis, intra-articular screw penetration, and loss of fracture reduction, resulting in inconsistent results. Shoulder hemiarthroplasty (HA) has shown reliable outcomes with respect to pain, but has been associated with unpredictable results for range of motion and function, likely due to tuberosity displacement, nonunion or resorption, and rotator cuff dysfunction.4
Traditionally, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has been used to manage cuff tear arthropathy and other glenohumeral disorders in the setting of irrepairable rotator cuff tears or insufficiency. However, with increasing experience, the indications have been expanding. Due to the unpredictable results of operative management of proximal humerus fractures with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and HA, RTSA has become a reliable and predictable alternative in appropriately selected patients (VIDEO 29.1).
PROXIMAL HUMERUS ANATOMY
There have been numerous classification systems developed for proximal humeral fractures due, in part, to the difficulty of defining the fracture patterns. Codman first attempted to classify these fractures in the 1930s by dividing the proximal humerus into four parts: the greater tuberosity, the lesser tuberosity, the head, and the shaft based upon the epiphyseal segments. Neer built upon this scheme in an effort to better define fracture displacement, which he defined as angulation >45° or greater than 1 cm of separation. Despite being the most commonly used classification system, studies have found the Neer classification to have relatively poor interobserver reliability (κ = 0.52).5 The AO classification of proximal humerus fractures places emphasis on the blood supply to the articular surface and divides these fractures into three groups, with increasing rates of osteonecrosis: A (extra-articular, unifocal), B (extra-articular, bifocal), and C (extra-articular with compromise to the vascular supply).6 Hertel devised a system for reading proximal humerus fractures where classifications are classified using a binary description system used to classify the four fracture parts and five basic planes of fracture.7 Despite these various classification systems (FIGURE 29.1), no one system has shown accuracy in predicting the development of osteonecrosis in the setting of acute proximal humerus fractures.
A special consideration for proximal humerus fractures of the three- and four-part variety in the elderly are that these fractures are often associated with a high incidence of osteonecrosis and poor bone healing.1,2 Multiple factors have been associated with increased osteonecrosis and complications including loss of the medial hinge, four-part fracture patterns, posteromedial metaphyseal head extension of less than 8 mm, angular displacement of the head greater than 45°, and fracture displacement greater than 1 cm.7 Treated nonoperatively, these fractures can result in debilitating malunion and poor function.3 A recent review article by Iyengar et al found that three- and four-part proximal humerus fractures reached a 98% rate of radiographic union; however, they were associated with highest overall complication rate at 48% (23% rate of varus malunion and 14% rate of osteonecrosis).3 ORIF with locked plating was initially a promising treatment modality for proximal humerus fractures. However, multiple studies have demonstrated high complication rates due to loss of reduction, screw cutout of up to 67%, postoperative stiffness, and osteonecrosis
in up to 55% of cases.4,7 Studies have shown that poor bone quality is associated with a significantly increased failure rate with ORIF.6,8 HA alleviates the threat of osteonecrosis and screw cutout; however, the functional outcomes are completely dependent on tuberosity union, and multiple studies have demonstrated postoperative tuberosity osteolysis and displacement with subsequent loss of motion and function and poor patient satisfaction.5,9,10,11,12,13 Additionally, fractures with non reconstructable tuberosities have been associated with poor outcomes following ORIF and HA. Concern for humeral head osteonecrosis, poor bone quality, compromised healing
capacity, and poor functional outcomes following treatment of three- and four-part fractures has made RTSA a favorable treatment option.

PATIENT EVALUATION
When evaluating any patient with an acute proximal humerus fracture, it is important to appropriately assess the patient's general health status. This includes an assessment of the patients' medical comorbidities, cognitive status, functional demands, and expectations. A patient unable to comply with a postoperative rehabilitation program or restrictions will compromise the outcome of the surgery. A history of previous shoulder injury or surgery should be identified since it may factor into the selected treatment plan. Neurological status must be accurately documented, particularly axillary nerve function, which has been reported to be injured in up to 67% of patients with low energy proximal humerus fractures.9 Although deltoid function is considered essential for a successful RTSA, Ladermann et al in a retrospective study of 49 patients undergoing RTSA with deltoid dysfunction reported a 98% patient satisfaction rate based upon increases in forward elevation and Constant scores.10 Nonetheless, careful examination of deltoid function is imperative and is performed by assessing for contraction of all three portions in an isometric assessment of elevation, abduction, and extension. Assessment of deltoid function in a patient with an acute proximal humerus fracture can be a challenge but is essential. If contraction is confirmed, the function of the muscle is thought to be adequate. If a contraction is not confirmed, then an electromyography and further workup is required.
Radiographs should include a standard shoulder trauma series. This includes a scapular anterior-posterior or Grashey, axillary, and scapular-Y view. Images of the contralateral shoulder may be useful for templating purposes. A CT scan is useful for more precisely defining bone and fracture morphology including tuberosity comminution and displacement, articular segment involvement, degree of osteopenia, and possible glenoid fracture. If preoperative planning software is utilized, then thin slice CT scans of less than 1 mm are necessary.
OPERATIVE INDICATIONS
Due to the unpredictable results of ORIF and HA and the successful results of RTSA for an expanding spectrum glenohumeral pathologies, RTSA has become an attractive option for the treatment of complex proximal humerus fractures. Our indications include displaced four-part fractures and fracture-dislocations; displaced three-part fractures and fracture-dislocations in selected patients with poor bone quality that is not amenable to ORIF; fractures involving a head split in the elderly; proximal humerus fractures with associated glenoid fractures compromising glenohumeral joint stability; fractures with significant tuberosity comminution not amenable to ORIF; and elderly patients requiring early mobility and function of injured arm such as wheelchair dependence or contralateral paralysis.
Contraindications to RTSA for fracture include an associated brachial plexopathy and open fractures. Isolated axillary nerve compromise is a not an absolute contraindication since the vast majority resolve over time. However, it should be closely monitored both preoperatively and postoperatively. Associated injuries to the glenoid and acromion, although very uncommon, require careful assessment to determine if it will impact the outcome of RTSA. Since the proximal humerus is a common site for primary and metastatic oncologic lesions, if there is suspicion for a pathologic fracture, further preoperative evaluation is required including consultation with an orthopedic oncologist before proceeding with RTSA.11,12
OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE
The surgeon's preference is to use general anesthesia without a regional anesthetic. This allows for an immediate postoperative neurological examination. A periarticular infiltration of a pain cocktail is also used for postoperative pain control at the conclusion of the procedure, which will be described. Patients are positioned in the beach chair position with the operative arm secured to an arm positioner (FIGURE 29.2). Ensure the endotracheal tube is secured on the opposite side of the operative arm. A standard deltopectoral approach is utilized, with care taken not to compromise the deltoid muscle because of its importance in postoperative stability, range of motion, and overall function.
FIGURE 29.2 Preoperative photograph shows the patient positioning for the reverse shoulder arthroplasty. The patient is in a standard beach chair position with the operative arm secured to an arm positioner.
Once the deltopectoral interval is identified, the cephalic vein is most commonly mobilized lateral with the deltoid. There are several soft-tissue considerations to be mindful of which drastically improves surgical exposure. If necessary, the pectoralis major tendon insertion can be released approximately 1 cm from its insertion onto the humerus to aid in exposure. Subacromial and subdeltoid adhesions, hematoma, and any early callus must also be released to allow adequate visualization. At this time, the biceps tendon is usually identified at the bicipital groove and tenotomized with a 2-0 Vicryl suture.
This gives the surgeon exposure to the greater and lesser tuberosities. In three-part fractures, an osteotome is often necessary to separate the greater and lesser tuberosity at the bicipital groove. Once the tuberosities are isolated, they are secured using two braided, nonabsorbable #5 heavy sutures at the tendon-bone interface evenly spaced to allow control of the tuberosity fragments. They are then mobilized to allow the fracture morphology to be assessed (FIGURE 29.3). If there is comminution of the tuberosities present, it is suggested that the comminution remain attached to the rotator cuff. At this point, the humeral head should be extracted and saved to be used for bone grafting (FIGURE 29.4). The status of the humeral neck/calcar, the quality of cancellous and cortical bone, and additionally comminution should be assessed at this time.
FIGURE 29.3 Intraoperative photograph (A) and illustration (B) of suture fixation of greater and lesser tuberosities with a heavy #5 braided suture.
FIGURE 29.4 Intraoperative photograph of humeral head extraction.
Once the humeral head has been extracted, it is the surgeon's preference to first prepare the glenoid. In the context of proximal humerus fracture, glenoid exposure is generally more easily achieved due to capsular injury and loss of proximal humeral bone from the trauma. The proximal biceps stump as well as the labrum must be completely excised from the glenoid face. Care should be taken during the inferior capsulolabral resection to avoid injury to the axillary nerve (FIGURE 29.5). It is recommended to detach the capsule directly off the glenoid bone to avoid neurologic injury. Once glenoid exposure is achieved, placement of a central pin perpendicular to the glenoid allows for reaming, which is particularly important in setting of acute fracture due to the abundant articular cartilage that may be present (FIGURE 29.6). If preoperative templating identifies significant glenoid deformity or version, glenoid reaming can be adjusted to allow either bone or metal augments to be utilized. Once the glenoid is reamed, either a central screw or post is prepared, and the glenoid baseplate is inserted and should sit flush with the bone. Peripheral screws are used to further secure the baseplate to the scapula. A glenosphere is then applied onto the baseplate in the standard fashion (FIGURE 29.7). Depending on the amount of proximal humeral comminution, consideration for a lateralized or larger glenosphere should be given to improve postoperative stability.
The humeral canal is then exposed (FIGURE 29.8) and prepared using hand reaming to prevent perioperative fracture in osteoporotic bone. Using trial components, the humeral prosthesis height and version of the implant is measured relative to the normally intact humeral calcar. If significant comminution of the humeral canal is
present, the superior border of the pectoralis tendon is utilized, and a distance of 5.0 cm is used to identify the most superior aspect of the humeral prosthesis.14 Alternatively, radiographs of the contralateral unaffected shoulder can be obtained to better approximate humeral height.15 The proper humeral height is critical to retain appropriate soft-tissue tensioning, with instability being the major consequence of inappropriate tensioning. A version rod is generally used to guide the amount of planned version for the humeral stem. It is our preference to place the humeral stem in 20° to 30° of retroversion, as these values have been found to provide optimal stability and minimal scapular notching.16,17 Often, a surgical sponge (raytec) is used to help insert humeral trial implants to control rotation, and a trial reduction is performed and stability assessed (FIGURE 29.9). The reduction of the tuberosity fragments must be assessed at this time as well as tuberosity healing is critical for optimal postoperative function.

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys to Perform at World Series
Hip-hop is coming to the World Series! New York Yankees fan Jay-Z is set to perform his hit "Empire State of Mind" with Alicia Keys at Game 1 on Wednesday. Find out what Hova says this moment means to him.
By · October 27, 2009 October 29, 2020
Hip-hop is coming to the World Series! Huge New York Yankees fan Jay-Z is set to perform his hit "Empire State of Mind" with Alicia Keys right before the Yanks take on the Phillies in Game 1 of the Series on Wednesday, according to the New York Daily News. "Thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee," Jay-Z said yesterday, invoking the famous quote by Yankee legend Joe DiMaggio.
Hova, who supports the team typically in Alex Rodriguez's box seats, called the performance a "once-in-a-lifetime experience" and said "Empire State of Mind" resonates beyond the city. "Really it's about inspiration, it's about hope–I think that's what connects with people," he said. "The song connects outside of New York. Every night I play it, there's a monster response." Let's hope Lil Mama couldn't cop tickets. –ZH

Q: as3 navigation - gotoAndPlay script not working consistently I think I've made an error in logic somewhere but can't find it, I have a movie clip which contains 4 further animated movieclips, each with stop() actions at specific frames, and 2 buttons, 1 to move left and another to move right, the animations work as expected if the user clicks say right, right, right, right, left, left, left, left for the first time, but then things stop evaluating properly.
Am using switch case statements on a variable to pick out the mc to animate, would I be better of using an If Else statement? Heres my code, as may be obvious actionscript is not my forte!

A: I fixed it, basically the frames I was targeting in the gotoAndPlay contained stop() statements, once I targeted the subsequent frames, ie
Instead of:
switch (boxAnimPlay) {

        mc1.box4.gotoAndPlay(17);
        mc1.box3.gotoAndPlay(31);

        mc1.box1.gotoAndPlay(17);
        mc1.box2.gotoAndPlay(46);
    break;
    }

I used this:
switch (boxAnimPlay) {

New Stadium Boost For Fans
Fri 24 Nov 2017, 10:20 AM
Rugby League fans in New South Wales will secure the world-class facilities they deserve under the new stadium program unveiled by the NSW Government today.
NRL CEO Todd Greenberg said the decision to build new stadia at Sydney Olympic Park and Moore Park – in addition to the new Western Sydney stadium at Parramatta - is the breakthrough the game needs to draw more people to matches.
"Our fans will now have access to three world-class stadia where they can watch anything from Telstra Premiership games through to State of Origin and Grand Finals," he said.
"Those games will be held in rectangular venues, purpose built for Rugby League with fans able to sit closer to the action than ever before.
"It's a great result for our clubs, for our fans and for the game."
ANZ Stadium will be transformed in to one of the world's great rectangular stadiums as part of a significant investment in sporting and entertainment facilities in this State, the NSW Premier announced today.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian said that works will begin on a new 75,000-seat rectangular stadium in 2019, with the aim that Sydney will have a new major events rectangular Stadium at Sydney Olympic Park by 2022.
Ms Berejiklian said the investment in stadiums would ensure NSW remains the No.1 destination for major sporting and entertainment events well into the future.
The Premier announced today:
A new 45,000-seat stadium to replace Allianz Stadium at Moore Park, with construction to start in 2018 and open in 2021 (estimated cost $705 million, subject to tendering process).
A new 75,000-seat rectangular stadium to replace ANZ Stadium at Sydney Olympic Park, with construction to start in 2019 and open in 2022 (estimated cost $1.25 billion, subject to tendering process).
"Fans will be closer to the action than ever before, with steep seating creating a colosseum-inspired wall of sound and colour, enhanced with the world's most advanced technology," Ms Berejiklian said.
"This investment means we can compete on the world stage for events such as the FIFA Women's World Cup, the Rugby World Cup, and keep Sydney as the number one sporting destination.
"This is an investment into our vital tourism industry, which is worth $33.2 billion per year to the NSW economy and supports 164,000 jobs."
ANZ and Allianz currently attract a combined 3.5 million visitors per year and contribute more than $1 billion into the economy every year.
Over the period ANZ and Allianz are being rebuilt, the NSW Government will invest around $200 billion on health and education.
Sport Minister Stuart Ayres said: "We can also announce the NSW Government has secured NRL Grand Finals games for the next 25 years.
"The SCG will host one Grand Final in 2020 during the construction phase, and we have organised sequencing so that all other Grand Finals will be played at Allianz (2021 and 2022) and ANZ (2023 to 2044)," Mr Ayres said.
The NRL has signed a new Memorandum of Understanding with the NSW Government pledging to keep the Grand Final in Sydney as long as the timeline for construction of the new stadia is met.
The 2018 ANZ Stadium Calendar of Events will be headlined by the Rabbitohs in two double-header clashes before the season starts and in Round 3. This will lead into the traditional Good Friday clash involving the Rabbitohs and Bulldogs.
Today's confirmation of the full redevelopment of ANZ Stadium supports the NSW Government's commitment to other major infrastructure projects in Western Sydney.
It follows the announcement on 18 October by Premier Berejiklian and Transport & Infrastructure Minister Andrew Constance that a Stage 2 extension of the Western Sydney Light Rail project will connect Sydney Olympic Park with Parramatta.
The future ANZ Stadium event experience will be further improved by proposals in the Sydney Olympic Park Master Plan 2030, and strategic infrastructure projects including WestConnex, Sydney Metro West, Parramatta Light Rail Phase 2, and improvements to the existing heavy rail network.
Venues NSW Chairman Christine McLoughlin and ANZ Stadium CEO Daryl Kerry today congratulated the NSW Government on its commitment to deliver world-class sporting and entertainment infrastructure in NSW.
Mr Kerry, said: "The NSW Government must be congratulated on delivering an exceptional outcome on major event infrastructure in this State. The Government's investment will deliver an outstanding network of major stadiums for NSW.
"Confirmation of a new 75,000-seat rectangular stadium to replace ANZ Stadium at Sydney Olympic Park is fantastic news for everyone who appreciates sport and entertainment, the sporting codes and clubs and entertainment promoters that use the Stadium, and our valued Stadium Members.
"The Government has committed to a world-class Stadium for the future in the geographical heart of the city, where Australians and visitors from across the globe can come together in celebration of excellence in sport and entertainment.
"We look forward to working with Government to bring the new Stadium to life and for this project to be an engine for future growth in the Sydney Olympic Park precinct and throughout Greater Sydney."

This post is the second in my series on Virgin Media Business. The first looked at innovation in Scotland and discussed the company's Three New Things competition. Now the results of that competition are in and there are winners.
Buffalo Grid gives away large solar-powered charging devices that allow local businesses or entrepreneurs to charge their customer's smartphones.
CubeSat created a "space resistant" material that can be 3D printed. The result? Much cheaper satellite construction.
Three Over Seven have a smartphone app that lets customers scan their feet and receive a pair of perfectly fitted 3D printed shoes the next day.
Three Over Seven won the votes of the audience of the day and it is one of two companies that use 3D printing.
3D printing is one of my "important things". The future here is wide open and we're still to see what 3D printing looks like on a business level and whether it'll be a thing for consumers. Will we see homes with 3D printers and with their ability to produce functional utilities? The attraction of Three Over Seven's offering was that it didn't ask people to try something out of their comfort zone. The system used smartphone apps, which we're familiar with, to allow 3D printing elsewhere.
Phones are the second of the three important things. Both Buffalo Grid and Three Over Seven make use of mobile phones and in very different ways. What do they have in common? Just how ever present mobiles have become and how important they are now.
Lastly, looking at what Buffalo Grid and CubeSat had in common was infrastructure and flexibility. Innovation that makes the next wave of innovation more likely and easier is top of the pile. This is my third important thing – infrastructure. As it happens this must be an area close to Virgin Media Business' heart too. This is a company with fibre optics in the ground.
Putting the three important things together paints a picture. We're creating a landscape with the infrastructure in place to support widespread use of smartphones and allow the next wave of contenders – like 3D printing – to exist.
If you look at what people in the 60s, 1920s or earlier predicted the future would be like you would enjoy a gallery of fun and fanciful ideas. You wouldn't have seen anyone predict the infrastructure of telecoms or the internet. Infrastructure and communication changes are hard to imagine.

The presidential election is scheduled to be held in Georgia in 2024. This will be the 8th presidential election in Georgia's history. The last presidential election, held in 2018, resulted in the election of Salome Zurabishvili.

Electoral system

In 2017, the Parliament of Georgia adopted the constitutional amendments with 117 voting in favor and two against. The new legislation abolished direct presidential elections starting from 2024. President Giorgi Margvelashvili vetoed the constitutional amendment on 9 October, describing it as an "anti-people constitution". Parliament overrode his veto on 13 October. The constitutional amendments went into effect after the 2018 Georgian presidential election and the inauguration of President Salome Zurabishvili on 16 December 2018. After 2018, presidents will be elected by the 300-member College of Electors, the composition of which will be approved by the Central Election Commission. It will include all members of the Parliament of Georgia, the legislative bodies of the Autonomous Republics of Abkhazia and Adjara, and nominees of the respective political parties from among the representative bodies of local self-governments.

The President of Georgia is the ceremonial head of state of Georgia as well as the commander-in-chief of the Defense Forces. In 2013, a series of constitutional amendments passed in the Parliament of Georgia from 2010 to 2013 entered into force, finalizing Georgia's transition to a parliamentary republic. The president's executive powers were significantly curtailed in favor of the Prime Minister.

The President of Georgia will be elected for a term of 5 years, without debates and by open ballot. The same person can be elected President of Georgia only twice. Any citizen of Georgia having the electoral right, who has attained the age of 40 and who has lived in Georgia for at least 15 years, is eligible to run for presidency, needing backing of at least 30 members of the Electoral College to be nominated.

UCC leaders join national call to end 'cruel' immigration policy, keep families together
Across the country on Friday, June 1, scores of Americans came out to say no more – the purposeful separation of children from their parents at the border is cruel, inhumane and unacceptable in the United States. During a National Day of Action for Children, faith communities and civil rights organizations arranged dozens of rallies at Federal Courthouses, Offices of U.S. Attorneys and those of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, demanding a change in the latest policy that criminalizes the actions of parents bringing children into the U.S. illegally and forcibly separates their families.
"It is appalling that this administration doesn't see the moral depravity inherent in ripping children away from their parents," said the Rev. John Dorhauer, United Church of Christ General Minister and President. "As a faith leader, I say without equivocation there is nothing remotely humane in this policy. It is beyond sinful – it is evil. I call on all leaders of our church to contact their representatives. Ask them not to abdicate their responsibility. Tell them not to fund this atrocity. Tell them to use their power, their voice, and your vote to repeal this morally repugnant policy immediately."
Since early May, when Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the U.S. would be prosecuting, as opposed to deporting, anyone seeking to cross the border illegally, and authorizing Customs and Border Protection to take the children, more than 658 children have been separated from their parents in the first 13 days of the program.
"We've been here before," said the Rev. Traci Blackmon, Executive Minister of United Church of Christ Justice and Local Church Ministries. "The criminalization of those who reach for freedom. The punishment of those who dare demand their humanity be seen. The ripping away of children is the traumatizing of hope by dismissing the need of parents to nurture a sense of safety in our young. We've been here before. Native people had their children ripped away. Enslaved people had their children ripped away. And now migrant children are being ripped away. In every case, in every way, laws crafted to sanction separation in a quest to snuff out hope."
"Simply put these immigration policies are cruel and inhumane," said Katie Adams, domestic policy advocate, UCC Washington D.C. Office. "With each asylum seeker who is denied safe harbor, our country is complicit in human rights violations on a mass scale. The faith community, in addition to the tremendously important work on the ground, is responding with vigorous advocacy to Congress and the Administration by lifting up the values of our faith and the call to love our neighbor. Our faith guides our actions as we remember Zechariah 7:9-10, 'Thus says the Lord of hosts, Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another, do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor, and let none of you devise evil against another in your heart.' Every day we meet with Congressional offices to urge them to increase oversight of the Department of Homeland Security to end these unjust practices, defund harmful immigration, and instead enact compassionate and thoughtful immigration policies that build families and communities up and protect children."
That message was echoed at the rallies across the country. In Cleveland, outside the Carl B. Stokes Federal Courthouse, UCC clergy joined advocates from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the National Domestic Workers Alliance, MomsRising, United We Dream, and MoveOn to gather as one voice and urge action to stop the government's practice of separating families, while denying them due process rights.
"Can you imagine fleeing your home country, enduring a long and dangerous journey to the United States with your infant, only to have your child ripped from your arms – and to not even be told where your child is being taken, or when you will see them again?" said the Rev. Ben Guess, Executive Director of the ACLU of Ohio, former UCC national officer. "The Trump administration is sending the clear message that immigrants aren't welcome here – and they don't mind sacrificing constitutional rights and basic human decency just to get that across. They want to scare people away from coming to this country to seek a better life and aren't afraid to admit it."
ACLU attorneys have a federal lawsuit challenging the government's practice of forcibly separating asylum-seeking parents and young children. Guess said they are fighting for the immediate reunion of as many as 10,000 children and parents through this class-action lawsuit.
"Thousands of kids as young as 18 months are in danger of suffering lifelong trauma," Guess continued. We can't let the administration shift the blame or use families as bargaining chips for a border wall. Congress must hold ICE and Board Patrol accountable for the cruel and unnecessary suffering inflicted on families."
The people living on the country's southern border, in Arizona, see this first-hand.
"When borderlands residents hear that Immigration and Border Enforcement agents have a new policy of deterrence, we wince and know something cruel and inhumane is around the corner," said the Rev. Randy Mayer, pastor, The Good Shepherd United Church of Christ, Sahuarita, Ariz. "First it was the Sonora Desert that was going to be the deterrent, pushing migrants to the most treacherous places where more than 8,000 have died in the past 20 years. Next it was Operation Streamline, a deterrence program that daily pimps the federal court to criminally prosecute 70 migrants en-masse, a process that shackles 300,000 of the most vulnerable to the for-profit prison machine at the bargain price of two-billion-dollars a year. Today's deterrence experiment is the aggressive ripping of babies from the arms of their distraught parents and like a shotgun, violently blasting them across the horizon. Deterrence programs have never worked, especially when it involves hungry suffering migrants fleeing violence and death. They are evil in its purest form and countries that practice them have slithered to the bottom of the moral abyss. How have we gotten so confused about Jesus' simple commandment to love the neighbor and to care for the least of these?"
Two things readers can do today – Call on Congress to act. Sign the ACLU petition.


Yes, another sewing project for Christmas. This one was kind of special - I just knew my daughter would love it. Sometimes I make things that I like - and she is not too keen on! But this one I was confident would go down well.
The pattern is another Tie Dye Diva one. No - I'm not affiliated in any way :) I got a bundle deal off the website! You can find it here.
I found some butterfly poplin at Spotlight in one of her favourite colours (purple). They also had some plain blue that matched for the underskirt and ties.
I made a size 2 width bodice - but size 4 everything else. As with most patterns - I find a size 2 in the width is just right for my wee girl.
...with a closer view of the bodice front. I did not use ribbon for the lacing of the bodice. I made my own out of the same fabric. Why? Two reasons - I could not face going back to Spotlight in the Christmas madness (!), and I also didn't think I would find a good match.
Christmas Day...it was the only item of clothing she was interested in wearing! So yes, she did love it.
I think it looked pretty cute on her - don't you?

'Wegians pay the price for failing to take their chances
colin@upourside.com
Old Belvedere 24
Galwegians 12
For the second week running, Galwegians suffered a disappointing and frustrating defeat away to a Dublin side, this time going down to Old Belvedere at Anglesea Road on Saturday in Division 1A of the Ulster Bank League.
'Wegians came into this game determined to open their away winning account, but the hosts took the lead on 12 minutes courtesy of a penalty from Shane McDonald. But 'Wegians were getting on top and deservedly took the lead when winger Ed O'Keeffe crossed for a well-taken try, which was converted by out-half Aidan Moynihan for a 7-3 lead.
'Wegians should have added to their lead, but some scoring chances went abegging and they failed to add to their scoring tally, and instead it was the hosts who scored next when Steve Crosby landed a penalty to reduce arrears.
And although the visitors should have held on to the lead, they went in to the break in arrears when they conceded a crucial score in the last play of the half. Although they managed to turn over a home scrum, the Blues failed to adequately clear their lines which allowed Belvedere to take a quick lineout. This set up an attacking move and an overlap created the opportunity for centre John Kennedy who crossed near the corner for a sucker-punch score.
'Wegians dominated the third quarter but once again struggled to make their possession and dominance count on the scoreboard. Finally they made it count on the hour mark when O'Keeffe crossed the whitewash again for his, and 'Wegians', second try of the game, although Moynihan was wide with the conversion to leave them in front by the narrowest of margins.
However the final quarter saw the Blues implode somewhat as the game completely turned ran away from against them. Crosby soon added another penalty to put the hosts back in front for the third time at 14-12, and thereafter it all went downhill for Wegians.

By Darren Kelly
EVEN though it's their third game of the year, the 2023 season really kicks off for Galway's senior footballers on Saturday at MacHale Park, Castlebar (7:30pm) when they begin their National League campaign under lights against rivals Mayo.
It comes just two weeks after the Green and Red scored a semi-final victory over the Tribesmen (2-18 to 3-12) on their way to a first FBD League title since 2012. But the stakes will be much higher for this one.
First, Galway are back in the top flight after earning promotion along with Roscommon last year, and will be determined to stay among the league's elite.
But with a new-look championship coming up in April, including a round-robin All-Ireland series, league positions will be vital for seeding for any team not claiming their provincial title (Galway will meet Mayo in the Connacht semi-final, if the latter overcome Roscommon).
"It has been the plum draw for us," stated Galway manager Padraic Joyce during the week. "The one we focused on since we went back training in November. It's going to be a big occasion, big crowd expected and it's a battle we're looking forward to."
It's six months since Galway went down to Kerry in the All-Ireland Final but Joyce will hope to have most of his contingent available. Liam Silke is abroad while Kieran Molloy (cruciate) is back in rehab but any return for him won't happen before the championship. Shane Walsh definitely won't be involved due to a long club season with Dublin's Kilmacud Crokes.
Also, the Galway management have up to 15 players currently involved in the Sigerson Cup. For example, Galway captain Seán Kelly is back in the panel after Maigh Cuilinn's club campaign brought them to an All-Ireland semi-final. But that doesn't mean he'll line out on Saturday night.
Flooring Porter's Cheltenham Festival hat-trick bid depends on results of X-ray
Killimordaly's Kerril Creaven, a member of the winning syndicate, leads Flooring Porter and jockey Danny Mullins back into the winners' enclosure after retaining his Stayers' Hurdle crown at last year's Cheltenham Festival.
DUAL Stayers' Hurdle winner at the Cheltenham National Hunt Festival, Flooring Porter faces a race against time to defend his crown in March.
The popular eight-year-old has suffered a setback which could scuttle his chances of emulating the feat of Inglis Drever in being crowned the champion staying hurdler for a third time.
Flooring Porter's trainer Gavin Cromwell sent the horse's fans into a tailspin last week when revealing another successful trip to the Cotswolds was in jeopardy.
Cromwell didn't reveal the nature of the problem, but it is believed to surround a minor back injury which has brought a halt to the horse's regular preparatory work on the gallops.
His participation at the big National Hunt Festival could hinge on the result of an X-ray late next week as the Seán Murphy bred gelding is currently restricted to a daily routine on the horse walker and swimming.
Flooring Porter had produced a somewhat underwhelming effort in the Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown in December – a race he had won in 2021 on his way to a first Stayers' Hurdle crown – when only finishing fourth behind new big-race favourite Home By The Lee.
The outcome of that race resulted in a five-day ban for jockey Danny Mullins after he was adjudged by the stewards not to have obtained the best possible placing – Flooring Porter being caught on the line for third place by Meet and Greet after Mullins eased his mount in the final 25 yards.
It is now believed that the horse's back issue, which only came to light on veterinary examination a couple of weeks ago, may have contributed to Flooring Porter not setting the relentless gallop at Leopardstown his fans have become accustomed to.
Uphill battle faces Connacht in wake of shocking display
Prop Finlay Bealham whose three try haul wasn't enough to save Connacht from a dismal loss to Newcastle Falcons in the European Challenge Cup at Kingston Park on Saturday.
Newcastle Falcons 35
Connacht 21
By JOHN FALLON AT KINGSTON PARK
IRISH coach Andy Farrell said that Mack Hansen's ability to cover full-back as well as the wings will make him the sort of player who will be invaluable for the World Cup in France later this year.
And Farrell, speaking at the launch of the Six Nations in London on Monday, also said he was not concerned about the lack of game-time Bundee Aki has had for Connacht this season.
Aki was again absent when Connacht blew a glorious chance of staying in Ireland all the way to the conclusion of this season's Challenge Cup with an error-ridden performance being punished by a Newcastle side already out of contention prior to Saturday's tie at Kingston Park, having lost all three games in the competition.
Hansen again played at full-back for Connacht and while he too wasn't immune to the plethora of mistakes which destroyed their hopes, the Irish coach sees him as a vital cog.
"We've put him there a few times ourselves, we know there's talent there in that type of position and that's exactly what the difference is between an international side and a club side. With a club side, you've got 50 players training all the time.
"In a club side, it tends to be 'he's the best in that position, he's the second best in that position and he's the third best' whereas with the international side, when you fast forward, you can only pick 33 in the World Cup, it becomes pretty good that your number two in that position can play two or three positions and your number three in that position can play three or four positions. The likes of Mack being able to do that is pretty important for us."

Q: Stopping JPopupMenu stealing the focus I have a JTextField for which I'm hoping to suggest results to match the user's input. I'm displaying these suggestions in a JList contained within a JPopupMenu.
However, when opening the popup menu programmatically via show(Component invoker, int x, int y), the focus is getting taken from the JTextField.
Strangely enough, if I call setVisible(true) instead, the focus is not stolen; but then the JPopupMenu is not attached to any panel, and when minimizing the application whilst the box is open, it stays painted on the window.
I've also tried to reset the focus to the JTextField using requestFocus(), but then I have to restore the caret position using SwingUtilities.invokeLater(), and the invoke later side of things is giving the user a slight margin to mess around with the existing contents / overwrite it / or do other unpredictable things.
The code I've got is effectively:
JTextField field = new JTextField();
JPopupMenu menu = new JPopupMenu();

field.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
        JList list = getAListOfResults();

        menu.add(list);
        menu.show(field, 0, field.getHeight());
    }
});

Can anyone suggest the best avenue to go down to show the JPopupMenu programmatically whilst preserving the focus on the JTextField?

A: It looks straight forward to me. Add the following
field.requestFocus();
after
 menu.add(list);
 menu.show(field, 0, field.getHeight());

Of course, you will have to code for when to hide the popup etc based on what is going on with the JTextField.
i.e;
 menu.show(field, field.getX(), field.getY()+field.getHeight());
 menu.setVisible(true);
 field.requestFocus();

A: The technical answer is to set the popup's focusable property to false:
popup.setFocusable(false);

The implication is that the textField has to take over all keyboard and mouse-triggered actions that are normally handled by the list itself, sosmething like:
final JList list = new JList(Locale.getAvailableLocales());
final JPopupMenu popup = new JPopupMenu();
popup.add(new JScrollPane(list));
popup.setFocusable(false);
final JTextField field = new JTextField(20);
Action down = new AbstractAction("nextElement") {

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
       int next = Math.min(list.getSelectedIndex() + 1,
               list.getModel().getSize() - 1);
       list.setSelectedIndex(next);
       list.ensureIndexIsVisible(next);
    }
};
field.getActionMap().put("nextElement", down);
field.getInputMap().put(
        KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("DOWN"), "nextElement");

As your context is very similar to a JComboBox, you might consider having a look into the sources of BasicComboBoxUI and BasicComboPopup.
Edit
Just for fun, the following is not answering the focus question :-) Instead, it demonstrates how to use a sortable/filterable JXList to show only the options in the dropdown which correspond to the typed text (here with a starts-with rule)
// instantiate a sortable JXList
final JXList list = new JXList(Locale.getAvailableLocales(), true);
list.setSortOrder(SortOrder.ASCENDING);

final JPopupMenu popup = new JPopupMenu();
popup.add(new JScrollPane(list));
popup.setFocusable(false);
final JTextField field = new JTextField(20);

// instantiate a PatternModel to map text --> pattern
final PatternModel model = new PatternModel();
model.setMatchRule(PatternModel.MATCH_RULE_STARTSWITH);
// listener which to update the list's RowFilter on changes to the model's pattern property
PropertyChangeListener modelListener = new PropertyChangeListener() {

    @Override
    public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
        if ("pattern".equals(evt.getPropertyName())) {
            updateFilter((Pattern) evt.getNewValue());
        }
    }

    private void updateFilter(Pattern newValue) {
        RowFilter<Object, Integer> filter = null;
        if (newValue != null) {
            filter = RowFilters.regexFilter(newValue);
        }
        list.setRowFilter(filter);
    }
};
model.addPropertyChangeListener(modelListener);

// DocumentListener to update the model's rawtext property on changes to the field
DocumentListener documentListener = new DocumentListener() {

    @Override
    public void removeUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
        updateAfterDocumentChange();
    }

    @Override
    public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
        updateAfterDocumentChange();
    }

    private void updateAfterDocumentChange() {
        if (!popup.isVisible()) {
            popup.show(field, 0, field.getHeight());
        }
        model.setRawText(field.getText());
    }

    @Override
    public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
    }
};
field.getDocument().addDocumentListener(documentListener);

A: You may take a look to JXSearchField, which is part of xswingx


Plenty of polish inhabitants are able to get treatment free of charge, not only in there, but in any kind of doctor. But what option will be the best for us, mainly if we require a dedicated care?
If You like Your appointment to be free of payment, You must to own special insurance, mostly payed by Your employer.

July 18/14 11:59 am - MTB Nationals: Eliminator report, photos and full results
Quebec riders dominated the Eliminator, the opening event of the 2014 Canadian Mountain Bike Championships, with Léandre Bouchard (Equipe du Québec-Devinci) and first year Junior rider Elodie Bernier (Specialized-Équipe du Québec) taking the men's and women's titles Thursday evening at Hardwood Ski and Bike in Oro-Medonte, near Barrie, Ontario.
National champions, Léandre Bouchard and Elodie Bernier
Léandre Bouchard won the men's race by a large margin over Rhys Verner (Cycling BC), with Adam Morka (WFP Coaching-Trek Bikes) taking third. One of the favorites as the defending champion, Bouchard easily went on to win each of his elimination rounds, after posting the fastest time in the qualifier.
Léandre Bouchard winning
"Mission accomplished. I am very satisfied with the win. The Eliminator is often unpredictable. So I was a little worried. The caliber here was very strong. Even though I won all my elimination rounds, I struggled a few times," said Bouchard.
Bouchard came for this race with a target on his back, being the Canadian champion and the only Canadian in 2014 to have qualified for the World Cup final in the event: "I think my World Cup results were to my advantage here. It was obvious that coming in as the favorite, and I wanted to retain the title this year. I wanted to make sure I win all my rounds arriving at the final. The most important thing for me was the last race, the final race of the day."
In regard to the course, Bouchard found it more difficult than last year. "The course was very long, so it became a little lactic towards the end. The start was very important here, since there was not much room for passing. All the races started very quickly."
Bouchard went into the first wooded section in third, but took over the lead when early leaders Samuel Tremblay (Rocky Mountain Procycle) and Morka collided and went down, after Morka tried to overtake in a tight corner. He then mainted a ten metre lead over Verner all the way to the line, with Morka's late charge not enough to overtake the first year Junior from BC.
For Bouchard, the cross country race on Saturday is more important. "This year, I hope to win the title of the U23 category. It is my goal here. Early in the season, I did well, and I'm ready for the race. Everyone wants to win the Canadian title, for its prestige and for the Canadian selections that will compete at the World Championships."
Elodie Bernier leading in the final
Elodie Bernier, a first year Junior, competing for the very first time in the Eliminator race, was the fastest qualifier for the women, and took the title after winning every heat. From the qualifying time trial 16 women raced in the heats. She outraced two of her Equipe du Quebec teammates, Cindy Montambault (CVM 2 VALS) who came in second and Catherine Fleury (Cyclone d'Alma-Équipe du Québec) who took third place.
"I'm happy, I did not expect this win. I am very impressed. This is my first experience in the Eliminator. I am the current Quebec provincial champion in the sprint event, but it was very different here. I'm happy. There were good athletes here, including the 2013 Canadian champion. I trained hard for this race because it was my goal. I did a lot of intervals, and I practiced my starts a lot too," said Bernier, visibly thrilled with her performance on the track today.

Mosul: The Noose Tightens
As noose tightens around Mosul, U.S. forces begin advising Iraqi units closer to front lines
Interesting the operation of US Forces with Iraqi units vs US Forces embedded with Kurdish militias? The news that US Forces will not be embedded with Iraqi army and assorted Shia militias in order to keep casualties down doesn't jibe with the fact that US forces, special operatives in particular, have been embedded with the Kurds at the frontlines in Iraq. North, east and west of Mosul. And there have been casualties. However the south of Mosul positioning of the Iraqi forces and Shiite militias makes the possibility of mass casualties a distinct possibility and one the US may truly want to avoid. (Referencing the always possible collapse of the Mosul dam, of course) Also, the US doesn't really want to assist these forces
American military advisers have begun working with Iraqi army battalions in forward positions, U.S. officials said, as the campaign against the Islamic State enters a new, more risky phase.
The first mission began on July 20, when combat engineers from the 101st Airborne Division were tasked with helping an Iraqi engineer battalion establish security around a temporary bridge constructed over the Tigris River.
The bridge, southeast of the town of Qayyarah, is expected to be a key infrastructure point in the upcoming offensive for Mosul, a crucial test for Iraqi forces and their Western backers.
But the small team of American engineers, in a departure from the longer-term advisory missions that characterized earlier campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, has spent only a limited number of hours a day with the Iraqi army battalion before falling back to its more fortified position near Makhmour for the night. The engineers' work is now mostly complete.
"It was short-duration, high-payoff," said Col. Chris Garver, a spokesman for the U.S.-led military coalition.
The narrowly targeted mission, with limited battlefield exposure, is an illustration of the restricted role that American commanders are planning for U.S. ground forces in the Mosul operation.
According to senior commanders, U.S. advisers will make short visits to Iraqi battalion headquarters, sometimes for only a few hours, rather than embedding with the local troops for extended periods.
The planned ground role is a recognition of the difficult course U.S. commanders must navigate as they seek to provide Iraq's military with needed support without inflaming tensions with Shiite militias or fueling perceptions that the already fragile Iraqi government is reliant on foreign power.
It is also borne out of a desire to avoid additional U.S. casualties. Already, three Americans have died in combat in Iraq since 2014. (Embedded with the kurds)
If Iraqi troops succeed in swiftly smashing the militants' grip on the city, it would bolster Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who is grappling with a fiscal crisis and pressure from Shiite allies, and would also deliver a needed victory to President Obama before he steps down.
* There are definitely parties that don't want the Iraqi troops to smash the 'militants grip' in Mosul
* There are parties that don't want PM al Abadi to be bolstered
* And the US is one of those parties.
As I've stated & has been reported here a plenty! The US has been doing way more the advising the Kurdish thugs
While U.S. Special Operations forces have already been advising elite counterterrorism troops and Kurdish peshmerga forces at their lower levels, the Qayyarah mission marks the first time since 2014 that U.S. forces have advised Iraqi army battalions in the field.
While the Pentagon has not announced a timeline for launching an assault on the city, officials have hinted that it could begin in the late fall. By that time, MacFarland's replacement, Lt. Gen. Stephen J. Townsend, is expected to be in command in Baghdad.

Belieber
Justin Bieber Is Becoming a Dual Canadian-American Citizen
By Emma Stefansky
O.K., so, he might not be married yet, but Justin Bieber just took a very important next step in finalizing his and Hailey Baldwin's nuptials. The singer is officially applying to become a dual citizen, retaining his Canadian citizenship while also legally establishing himself in the U.S.A.
According to TMZ's report, Bieber has a green card and has lived in Atlanta since he was 13. America is the country where he first gained fame for his work and Bieber spends most of his time here, an upcoming wedding all the more reason to finalize his relationship with the United States. There are five steps to becoming a citizen, including undergoing a background check, providing proof he has a right to be here, and getting grilled on all sorts of American history while proving he knows how to speak English. He could always renounce his Canadian ties, but that would mean giving up convenient access to the $5 million Ontario estate he just bought.
As for the wedding to Baldwin, the two caused a ruckus on social media on Friday when they were spotted sneaking in and out of a Los Angeles courthouse. The news went back and forth, but the consensus seems to be that the two were there to get their marriage license, but haven't actually had the full-blown wedding yet. Maybe they're waiting for Bieber's citizenship application to go through. As to whether they'll wed in Baldwin's homeland or Bieber's, that's still very much a secret.
