 Israeli Radi Kaiuf will use a ReWalk, a device that includes robotic leg braces, to compete in the 10K portion of the race.
YOKNEAM ILLIT, Israel - The bullet that tore through Israeli paratrooper Radi Kaiuf's spine during a 1988 Lebanon firefight shattered his dreams of becoming a dentist. Doctors said he'd never again walk or have a normal life.
But Kaiuf, now 46, had other ideas. He decided he would not allow the injury to defeat or define him.

From USA Today
SAN FRANCISCO - While large businesses have begun using 3D printing and prototyping to streamline product development, tech hobbyists and other individuals are using the technology in revolutionary ways.
One of them is Bilal Ghalib, a youthful product development engineer and consultant with design-software maker Autodesk. Ghalib, whom I met at the San Francisco location of TechShop, a technology incubator space, is also the "lead instigator," as he puts it, of GEMSI, the Global Entrepreneurship and Maker Space Initiative.
Founded in 2011, GEMSI's goal is to establish so-called 'maker spaces' -- places where engineers and other geeks use 3D printing and related technologies to create cool and useful stuff across the developing world....LEARN MORE

| Ask the Prosthetist....Alex Lyons, CPO |
 Q: Alex, it's almost summer and I'm worried about the heat. What do I do to keep my residual limb from getting too sweaty?
A: Excessive sweating can be reduced by using an antiperspirant gel on your residual limb. Apply it every night until sweating is reduced, then as often as necessary to control sweating. Don't use this if you have any cuts, abrasions or infections on your residual limb. A stronger preparation may be available by prescription.
If you are diabetic, I do not recommend this unless you have your doctor's approval.
