Medial-sided knee injuries can lead to symptomatic valgus laxity or anteromedial rotatory instability and may require surgery, particularly in the setting of cruciate tears and tibial-sided medial collateral ligament (MCL) avulsions. The LaPrade (LP) technique utilizes 2 free grafts to reconstruct the superficial MCL (sMCL) and the posterior oblique ligament (POL). An alternative MCL reconstruction devised by the senior author comprises an anatomic single-bundle reconstruction using a free graft to reconstruct the sMCL with advancement and imbrication of the posteromedial capsule/POL (MCL anatomic reconstruction with capsular imbrication [MARCI] technique). These techniques have not been biomechanically compared with one another. In conclusion, although both techniques improved knee stability compared with destabilized conditions, the MARCI technique better approximated intact stability during valgus at knee flexion angles from 0° to 90° and external rotation loads at knee flexion angles ≤30° in a cadaveric model.   Click here to read the article.

Predators sometimes get a bad rap because they, well, eat the critters we admire. But it's important to understand that they play pivotal roles in the prairie ecosystem. Predators are a key ingredient of prairies.

Juneteenth is the oldest commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. In the latest episode of More with McGlinchey, we present a recording of an internal panel discussion between members of McGlinchey's African American Affinity Group on the novel “On Juneteenth” by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed. It provides a historian's view of the country's long road to Juneteenth, recounting both its origins in Texas and the enormous hardships that African-Americans have endured in the century since, from Reconstruction through Jim Crow and beyond. Thank you to Camille Bryant (New Orleans), Kerry Cummings (Fort Lauderdale) and Farren Davis (New Orleans) for the insightful discussion!

The history of the American National Rifle Association is completely different from what most American think it is. Award-winning journalist, Frank Smyth, gives us the full history of the NRA, and how it changed so dramatically in 1977. Further, he shows how the post-1977 NRA has re-written its history, and given it a new origin story – as the original champion of the strict interpretation of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution. This new NRA has helped create the maniacal gun culture in the United States. Episode 459

Sam hosts William Forbath, Associate Dean for Research at the University of Texas at Austin Law School, and Joseph Fishkin,  Professor at the UCLA School of Law, to discuss their recent book The Anti-Oligarchy Constitution: Reconstructing the Economic Foundations of Democracy. Sam first runs through recent updates, from AOC and progressives pushing the White House to take action on Roe and the discovery of 46 dead migrants in an abandoned San Antonio trailer, to the GOP's insistence that, no, fundamentally undermining reproductive rights in the country ISN'T important, and everything is basically the same. Then, he's joined by William Forbath and Professor Joseph Fishkin as they dive right into the state of the public's relationship to the US Constitution, with the left lacking a vision of how it functions within the political society and the right having successfully ingrained it as central to how the constitution shapes policy, before situating our political era as a second Gilded Age defined by economic and political inequality, and why the left's lack of a constitutional vision means that these are not seen as constitutional issues. Next, they trace the recent history of how the two US parties relate to the court, with the institutionalist liberals basking in the afterglow of the Warren court while the GOP, since at least Nixon, has seen opposition to the Court's “progressive” nature as central to their victories. Forbath and Fishkin then jump back to the founders, assessing how they weighed their beliefs of a judicial system as central to a functioning democracy while understanding that it had no right to overrule the will of the people via the legislature, seeing the constitution as a check on the concentration of power to be used against governmental institutions, and thus puts forward a duty to legislate against economic and political concentration. They then shift to the rise of the anti-slavery Republican Party in the mid 19th Century and their vacation of the South as any semblance of a base until they had begun to dismantle the concentration of economic and political power in the region with the prevalence of slave owners and the electoral role of the 3/5ths clause, moving into an era of egalitarian constitutionalism emphasizing checks on concentrations of economic and political powers and a distribution of opportunity that extends across race gender, that saw the Reconstruction amendments (despite clear loopholes) attempt to reshape the role of the constitution. Next comes the 20th Century, as they walk through the rise of federal courts in the wake of the industrial revolution and the simultaneous populist political movement that came out against the rising concentration of wealth, with Taft attempting to build up the Court's stature as it became clear they were on the side of the corporation, only for his (physical and meta) attempts to culminate during the reign of FDR after he forced the anti-democratic court into lockstep with him. They wrap up the interview by looking at the lasting effects of the post-FDR Warren Court, and the current shattering of the view of the courts as apolitical, before looking forwards to the upcoming judicial attacks against legislative capacities and how we can move forwards in a way that bolsters the will of the people rather than the deification of the Courts. And in the Fun Half: Sam interviews special guest Saul Seder on the state of the 3rd grade, parental rights in the state of Disney, the superiority of Jim Carrey over his father, and summarizes highlights from the 2022 little league season. Then Sam and the crew dive into Cassidy Hutchinson's surprise hearing for the 1/6 committee, Kamala Harris' only solution to the Dobbs decision being still holding midterm elections (rather than…?), and a GOP candidates' commitment to cop brotherhood by refusing to acknowledge the existence of rape. Rudy describes the reverberations of his assault, Hutchinson covers Trump's violent outbursts on and leading up to 1/6, and Russia goes after Ukrainian civilians, plus, your calls and IMs!

An episode we've been waiting to do for a long while, Alex examines the consequential life of Cincinnati's own, Salmon P. Chase. Chase, the namesake for Chase Bank, served as a Senator and Governor from Ohio, the Secretary of the Treasury during the Lincoln Administration and the 6th Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. We sit down with award-winning historian and biographer Walter Stahr to discuss the impact of Salmon P. Chase's important life, Chase's passionate leadership of the country that helped bring an end to slavery and Walter's new book Salmon P. Chase: Lincoln's Vital Rival (Simon & Schuster, 2021). Click the link below to purchase this great new book. https://walterstahr.com/books/salmon-p-chase/ We follow Chase's story from his arrival as a child to the new State of Ohio, his early career in DC to his successful legal career in Cincinnati. Chase's unorthodox path to power does not follow the normal two-party system, from his leaving the Whig Party in 1840 to the joining of little known Liberty and Free Soil parties. We experience pre-war racial strife in the border metropolis of Cincinnati as the Queen City's straddling of the Mason-Dixon Line molds Chase into a leading anti-slavery political figure in the North. Walter takes us through the tumultuous 1850s in the Senate, Governor Chase's two terms in Columbus (1856-1860) and the historic 1860 Election campaign in which Lincoln won the nomination of the new Republican Party over Chase. Walter shares with our audience Secretary Chase's deft stewardship of the nation's economy during the Civil War, his multiple failed attempts to win the presidency and his important 9 years as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court during Reconstruction.

Kaya Henderson, CEO of Reconstruction and former Chancellor of the District of Columbia Public Schools, joins IEI CEO/Founder Doug Roberts to discuss her tenure in the DC public school system and her new edtech company, Reconstruction. Reconstruction, a technology company offering K-12 supplemental curriculum, offers a selection of online courses in educational subjects that center on Black contributions to our national and global society.

Sam hosts Khiara M. Bridges, professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley, to discuss the recent overturning of Roe V. Wade and the repeal of concealed carry laws in New York State by the Supreme Court. First Sam reviews the standards set by this 6-3 conservative Supreme Court, overturning Roe and concealed carry laws while promoting single-religion prayer in public school, and the unsurprising result of an already unpopular court having it's approval ratings go into free fall, before covering MSNBC accidentally stumbling into Reproductive Rights activists that actually know the history of reproductive rights and the Democrats' fight (or lack thereof) for it. Then, he is joined by Professor Khiara Bridges as she dives into the actual state of the Dobbs decision, the difference between Alito's opinion to overturn Roe and Roberts' concurrence which saught to only address the ACTUAL question of the case on the viability line, and why the concepts the Court was addressing changed with the replacement of RBG with ACB. Next, they get into the role of the “Due Process” clause of the 14th Amendment, exploring how the leak went after this concept much more aggressively than the actual opinion and walking through the other elements of this Reconstruction amendment, and how this attempt to undermine the clause is still central to the opinion, just obscured in qualifier about what THIS case is doing, before Professor Bridges dives into the 9th Amendment and the legal establishment's refusal (from academia to the courts) to actually acknowledge the idea of rights of the public not previously enumerated in the Constitution. The professor then walks Sam through how the 14th Amendment's Due Process Clause has been interpreted as a right to privacy, via reason and logic, by previous courts dating back to the start of the 20th Century, and dives into the arbitrary algorithm set up by this Court to reject “new” rights on a case by case basis, wrapping up by exploring this algorithm's contrary implementation in the Bruen decision. And in the Fun Half: Sam admires Tulsi Gabbard's empathy and commitment to rationality by refusing to respond to the Roe decision (which definitely has nothing to do with her move to conservatism), Kristi Noem reminds us that every life is precious, unless that life could produce a white dude, and the LAPD finally get back to their roots of ruthlessly beating nonviolent protesters and journalists alike. SCOTUS shows us we have nothing to fear from their future by shooting tear gas from their roof, Chuck Todd gets awkward when AOC brings up holding justices accountable for their actions and statements, and Ronald Raygun reflects back on the Trump Cuck Rushmore with our recent 1/6 revelations. Rudy claims he was struck by a boulder only for video evidence to show who the real Sisy-phus is, James from CO calls in about a libertarian track to home ownership, plus, your calls and IMs!   Become a member at JoinTheMajorityReport.com: https://fans.fm/majority/join Subscribe to the AMQuickie newsletter here:  https://madmimi.com/signups/170390/join Join the Majority Report Discord! http://majoritydiscord.com/ Get all your MR merch at our store: https://shop.majorityreportradio.com/ Check out today's sponsors: Check out JustCoffee and get 25% off with the code MR25! https://justcoffee.coop/ sunsetlakecbd is a majority employee owned farm in Vermont, producing 100% pesticide free CBD products.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Jose Ucar, a global TEDx speaker, NLP coach, international business, marketing specialist and founder of Finding Excellence. As well as being the host of Speak to Sell Yourself And Your Business Show. They talk about public speaking, business, cultural diversity and much more. Jose also talks about how he learned to deal with being incredibly angry, most of the time. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you are comfortable in your own skin that is reflected in the way you communicate. Communicating as yourself sets you free. To find your authentic self, you have to put yourself out there. Confidence is a muscle that you build. Every single person has bad moments during each day. When you speak, appeal to all of your audience´s senses. Jose explains what that means. There are 700,000 aspects of body language, so your body language matters. Connect with your audience through story-telling. Don´t overwhelm. The mind can usually only take 7 to 9 pieces of information. BEST MOMENTS ‘Communication starts within. I am comfortable in my own skin. ´ ‘Appeal to all of the senses (of your audience) and use storytelling.' ‘I am very happy to ask for help.' ‘Hold yourself accountable, take action, be consistent.' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Promise Land was established and settled by formerly enslaved people near Charlotte, Tenn., during Reconstruction. The original settlers included at least five former members of the United States Colored Troops: Clark Garrett, Landin Williams, Ed Vanleer and the brothers John and Arch Nesbitt. The community grew at one point to about 1,000 acres, home to about 50 families. It remained independent and flourished in spite of Jim Crow. But during the Great Migration, families began moving away, many to Ohio and other locations in the Midwest. By the 1950s, the town dwindled and only a few families remained. At one point, just about two descendants of the original settlers remained. Today, the St. John Promise Land Church and the old Promise Land School Building are all that remain of the original town. The school closed in 1957 and, thanks to the efforts of the Promise Land Heritage Association, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. Each June, descendants and others gather to celebrate this place and to keep its stories alive. But first, at the top of the show, we respond to your comments with our weekly @ us! segment. Guests: Serina Kay Gilbert, descendant of three founding families; executive director of Promise Land Heritage Association Sokoto Fulani, descendant of John Nesbitt Learotha Williams, professor of African American and public history, Tennessee State University

https://propertysharemarketeconomics.com https://twitter.com/AkhilGPatel Akhil became interested in economic cycles during his school years when he came across Henry George's Progress and Poverty, which explained why economies go through periods of boom and bust. Later on, he witnessed the negative effects of not understanding economic cycles when his family's business went through difficult periods during the major recessions in the early 1990s and during the global financial crisis after 2008. He became determined to develop a body of work that would help people – whether they were investors, business owners or those just interested in doing something with their savings to grow their wealth or manage their affairs through the course of these economic cycles. Akhil has professional experience in audit, central government and international banking and has worked on a range of issues from reviewing large infrastructure public private partnerships (PPP) deals to helping establish the UK's £3 billion International Climate Fund. He has two Masters Degrees (in Finance and Public Policy) and a first degree in the Classics from Oxford. He is also currently a principal policy advisor to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).

Interview d'Ignazio Cassis, président de la Confédération.

Dr. Aditya Bagrodia talks with Dr. Lee Zhao, director of the Male Reconstructive Surgery program at NYU Urology, about indications, surgical techniques, and post-operative management for patients requiring upper tract ureteral reconstruction. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Athletic Greens https://www.athleticgreens.com/backtableuro Laurel Road Physician Banking https://www.laurelroad.com/healthcare-banking/ --- SHOW NOTES In this episode of BackTable Urology, Dr. Aditya Bagrodia talks with Dr. Lee Zhao, director of the Male Reconstructive Surgery program at NYU Urology, about indications, surgical techniques, and post-operative management for patients requiring upper tract ureteral reconstruction. First, Dr. Zhao outlines his indications for upper tract reconstruction in patients with ureteral strictures. Most of his patients come from subspecialized urologists, while the other half come from self-referral. Before surgery, Dr. Zhao assesses three areas: kidney function via a renal scan, the anatomy and location of the stricture via antegrade and retrograde pyelograms, and assessment of bladder function via a cystogram. Additionally, he takes pre-existing stents out to allow the ureter to rest. If a patient has a stricture less than 2 cm long, endoscopic management may be possible. However, if the stricture is longer than 2 cm, Dr. Zhao utilizes robotic surgery. Although he and Dr. Bagrodia discuss both single port and multiport approaches, he prefers the single port approach. He usually tries to avoid interfering with adhesions from previous surgeries and performs a concurrent ureteroscopy while gaining access. Only in cases involving obliterative strictures does he consider nephropexy. For simple cases involving virginal abdomens, Dr. Zhao usually performs a primary ureteroureterostomy (UU). For longer strictures, he will choose to place a graft. He uses two types of grafts depending on which ureter is affected. For left sided strictures, he will perform a buccal mucosa ureteroplasty. For right sided strictures, he will use an appendiceal graft. Both grafts are able to fix strictures up to 10 cm in length. For longer strictures, he will create an ileal ureter, in which he makes an anastomosis between the ureter and the bowel. A trans UU is unusual to perform because complications are possible that will cause both tracts to fail. Dr. Zhao treats mid and proximal ureteral strictures the same but adds that Boari flaps may also be an option in mid-ureteral strictures. For distal ureteral strictures, boari flaps, psoas hitch, and other procedures can be considered instead. For distal ureteral strictures, Dr. Zhao prefers to do a non-transecting reimplant, which consists of making a longitudinal incision of ureter at stricture and dropping the bladder down to the level of stricture. This technique is best to preserve inferior blood vessels, which can be useful in patients who have fragile vascular supply from radiation therapy. Finally, the doctors discuss post-operative management of reconstruction patients. Dr. Zhao does not routinely place a stent in all his patients and instead saves them for his buccal mucosal graft patients. Similarly, because he assesses the integrity of his anastomoses in the OR through retrograde filling or with the ureteroscope, he rarely places a drain after surgery. Finally, he prescribes post-operative antibiotics conservatively depending on the surgical technique chosen.

The human soul has a built-in yearning for joy and beauty and all good things. But that craving for life has taken a real beating in recent years. Between false promises of ease and comfort on one side and the sheer trauma of global disease and disasters on the other, people today are facing a shortage of peace, happiness, and strength.  In this conversation, John and Jason dive into John's new book, Resilient. The guys talk about life and faith during and since the pandemic. They dive into the evidence of trauma, how to discover peace in the midst of disappointment, the dark night of the soul, de- and reconstruction, and ultimately union. This conversation reveals a path toward genuine recovery and resilience provided by Jesus himself.

Seldom do we think of the study of history as a journey of self-discovery. And if that claim has any truth, it's because we modern people tend to see ourselves as autonomous, independent, untethered, and unaffected by our biological and cultural genealogies. But there's a story in our DNA that didn't start with us. And Lisa Sharon Harper has been on a decades-long journey of self-discovery, piecing together her family's lineage from their arrival on America's shores—via slave boats, through the twists and turns of slavery and indentured servitude, through America's post-civil war attempt at Reconstruction, down into the shadowy valley of Jim Crow and twentieth-century Civil Rights struggle, all to her life in the present. Her book is Fortune: How Race Broke My Family and the World—and How to Repair It All. Evan Rosa recently spoke with Lisa at length about how race broke her world and how she traced her family line back beyond the founding of America. And in continued celebration of Juneteenth and the Black joy which has transcended centuries of oppression, the Black history that deserves to be named and known, and the Black freedom which is real and yet still not fully realized and repaired—thanks for listening today friends.How to Buy Fortune: How Race Broke My Family and the World—and How to Repair It All:lisasharonharper.comOnline RetailersAbout Lisa Sharon HarperFrom Ferguson to New York, and from Germany to South Africa to Australia, Lisa Sharon Harper leads trainings that increase clergy and community leaders' capacity to organize people of faith toward a just world.

The Week in Review at the Abbeville Institute, June 13-17-2022 Topics: Slavery, Moonshine, the War, Reconstruction, Southern Tradition Host: Brion McClanahan www.brionmcclanahan.com

Hitler, Stalin, and Mao ruled through violence, fear, and ideology. But in recent decades a new breed of media-savvy strongmen has been redesigning authoritarian rule for a more sophisticated, globally connected world. In place of overt, mass repression, rulers such as Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Viktor Orbán control their citizens by distorting information and simulating democratic procedures. Like spin doctors in democracies, they spin the news to engineer support. Uncovering this new brand of authoritarianism, Sergei Guriev and Daniel Treisman explain the rise of such “spin dictators,” describing how they emerge and operate, the new threats they pose, and how democracies should respond. Spin Dictators traces how leaders such as Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew and Peru's Alberto Fujimori pioneered less violent, more covert, and more effective methods of monopolizing power. They cultivated an image of competence, concealed censorship, and used democratic institutions to undermine democracy, all while increasing international engagement for financial and reputational benefits. The book reveals why most of today's authoritarians are spin dictators—and how they differ from the remaining “fear dictators” such as Kim Jong-un and Bashar al-Assad. Spin Dictators: The Changing Face of Tyranny in the 21st Century (Princeton UP, 2022) is aimed at a general audience, synthesizing a vast amount of qualitative and quantitative research by the authors and many other scholars. The book is highly readable, with a great mix of anecdotes and examples along with plain-English explanations of academic research findings. However, it also provides an excellent overview of contemporary global authoritarianism for academics. Almost every claim in the book has an endnote reference to the original research for those who want to follow up. The endnotes mean that despite its moderately intimidating 340-page heft, the main text is a very approachable 219 pages. Daniel Treisman is a professor of political science at the University of California, Los Angeles and a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. His research focuses on Russian politics and economics as well as comparative political economy, including in particular the analysis of democratization, the politics of authoritarian states, political decentralization, and corruption. In 2021-22, he was a visiting fellow at Stanford University's Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences and he was recently named a 2022 Andrew Carnegie Fellow. A graduate of Oxford University (B.A. Hons.) and Harvard University (Ph.D. 1995), he has published five books and numerous articles in leading political science and economics journals including The American Political Science Review and The American Economic Review, as well as in public affairs journals such as Foreign Affairs and Foreign Policy. He has also served as a consultant for the World Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and USAID. In Russia, he has been a member of the International Advisory Committee of the Higher School of Economics and a member of the Jury of the National Prize in Applied Economics Peter Lorentzen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of San Francisco, where he leads a new Master's program in Applied Economics focused on the digital economy. His research focuses on the political economy and governance of China. Learn more about your ad choices.

Coming off a victorious election night for Conservatives across the country, Charlie reacts to one race in particular which saw Republican House Candidate Mayra Flores win a seat in Congress that hasn't been held by the GOP since Reconstruction. In a seat that was historically viewed as safely Blue for Democrats who have spent years taking advantage of the second most Hispanic district in the country, Charlie analyzes the triumphant 30 point realignment we have now witnessed, and why it pays off to not give into the “socially liberal” perspectives that have quickly radicalized the country. He explains why Elon Musk, Hispanics and several others are leaving The Left in droves, and what to expect next as we observe the beginning stages of the displacement of the Democratic Party.
