Re: Young at art: local art exhibit

That's a great idea and can serve dual purposes. I once helped bartend at a similar event in South Beach, Miami. It was an open house for a new condo building with local artists and their work on display in each room in each unit, along with building developers and realtors on site. There was plenty of complimentary beer and wine flowing, music and hors d'oeuvres. Fun had by all and lots of art and real estate sold too.

This prosthetic foot is great! Let's hope it's production and distribution is propelled forward. Many of these countries with landmine victims have scant prosthetic care and resources in the first place, sometimes with no real access to prosthetists at all. For example, I recently discovered that Belize is the only country in Central America to have no prosthetic services other than an American mission that goes every year. Who would have thought? This group will be making a free-standing clinic with education for local technicians for ongoing care. Here's their site http://www.sonrieministries.org/default.htm

This would be a great way to teach many communities how to produce these simple but efficient prostheses to promote sustainability in that region.

Cool stuff! I imagine this would still be bad for those with shellfish allergies unless they have done something to cancel that risk.

Elderly gaming is totally legitimate. There have been various physical therapy clinics and rehab centers that have published research based on therapy interventions for people of all ages using the Wii....most known have been all the studies for the obesity epidemic and children. The balance benefit alone would be huge for the elderly...I like the nimble mind component.
