Understanding Joint Replacement
Stuart Smith, MD, orthopaedic surgeon
Monday, March 30, 2009
On February 3, 1969, S. Benjamin Fowler, Jr. MD performed the first joint replacement (hip replacement) in the area at Baptist Hospital. Dr. Fowler was one of the founding surgeons of Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance, of which Dr. Stuart Smith is a partner.
The number of total knee replacements performed in the U.S. will leap by 673% -- reaching 3.48 million -- by the year 2030. Hip replacements will increase by 174% to 572,000 by 2030, according to the new findings, which are based on historical procedure rates from 1990 to 2003 and population projections from the U.S. Census Bureau.
"There is a huge swell of elderly patients from the baby boom who will come through the system and be candidates for artificial joints," explains researcher Steven M. Kurtz, PhD, office director and principal engineer at Exponent Failure Analysis Associates in Philadelphia.
Affecting close to 21 million people, OA of the knee and hips is the most common cause of arthritis-related disability in the U.S, according to statistics from the Arthritis Foundation.
What is Total Joint Replacement Surgery?
Joint replacement surgery, considered when pain and disability have not been controlled by conservative treatments such as exercise and medicine, and joint damage is visible on X-rays.
Joint replacement involves surgery to replace the ends of bones in a damaged joint. This surgery creates new joint surfaces. A person may want to consider joint replacement surgery if they have a stiff, painful joint that prevents them from performing even the simplest of activities and other treatments are no longer working.
Causes for Joint Replacement Surgery
Osteoarthritis is a condition in which the cartilage that protects and cushions the joints breaks down over time. Eventually, the bones-formerly separated by the cartilage-rub against each other, resulting in damage to the tissue and underlying bone and causing painful joint symptoms.
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is a major cause of disability in older adults. It most often affects the spine, fingers, thumbs, hips, knees, or toes.
Symptoms include:
The symptoms of osteoarthritis can usually be successfully managed with medication and home treatment. Although osteoarthritis usually gets worse, in some cases symptoms may not get worse or may even improve slightly with time. Lifestyle changes like weight loss may also be necessary to reduce stress on weight-bearing joints. Joint replacement surgery may be necessary in severe cases.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a relatively common disease of the joints. In rheumatoid arthritis, the membranes or tissues (synovial membranes) lining the joints become inflamed (synovitis). Over time, the inflammation may destroy the joint tissues, leading to disability. Rheumatoid arthritis affects women twice as often as men, and frequently begins between the ages of 40 and 60.
Exactly what triggers rheumatoid arthritis is not known, but it is in part due to abnormal immune system activity. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, meaning the body's own immune system attacks the joint tissues. An inherited factor in some families (genetic predisposition) may increase the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis.
The main symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis are pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints of the hands, wrists, elbows, feet, ankles, knees, or neck. Rheumatoid arthritis usually affects both sides of the body at the same time. In rare but severe cases, rheumatoid arthritis may affect the eyes, lungs, heart, nerves, or blood vessels.
Types of Joint Replacement Surgeries
Knee Replacement Surgery
In knee replacement surgery, the ends of the damaged thigh and lower leg (shin) bones and usually the kneecap are capped with artificial surfaces lined with metal and plastic. Usually, doctors replace the entire surface at the ends of the thigh and lower leg bones. Doctors usually secure knee joint components to the bones with cement.
In knee replacement surgery, doctors remove the damaged cartilage and replace it with new joint surfaces in a step-by-step process.
Joint changes caused by osteoarthritis may also stretch and damage the ligaments that connect the thighbone to the lower leg bone. After surgery, the artificial joint itself and the remaining ligaments around the joint usually provide enough stability so that the damaged ligaments are not a problem.
Doctors most often use regional anesthesia for joint replacement surgery. That means you can't feel the area of the surgery and you are sleepy, but you are awake. The choice of anesthesia depends on your doctor, on your overall health, and, to some degree, on what you prefer.
What Happens During Knee Joint Replacement Surgery?
Once you are under general anesthesia (meaning you are temporarily put to sleep), spinal, or epidural (numb below the waist) anesthesia, an eight- to twelve-inch cut is made in the front of the knee. The damaged part of the joint is removed from the surface of the bones, and the surfaces are then shaped to hold a metal or plastic artificial joint. The artificial joint is attached to the thigh bone, shin and knee cap either with cement or a special material. When fit together, the attached artificial parts form the joint, relying on the surrounding muscles and ligaments for support and function.
What Are Recent Advances in Knee Joint Replacement Surgery?
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has revolutionized knee replacement surgery as well as many fields of medicine. Its key characteristic is that it uses specialized techniques and instrumentation to enable the surgeon to perform major surgery without a large incision.
MIS knee joint replacement requires a much smaller incision, three to five inches, versus the standard approach and incision, which is typically eight to twelve inches. The smaller, less invasive approaches result in less tissue trauma by allowing the surgeon to work between the fibers of the quadriceps muscles instead of requiring an incision through the tendon. It may lead to less pain, decreased recovery time and better motion due to less scar tissue formation.
Currently this less invasive procedure is performed by only a small percentage of orthopaedic surgeons in North America. Because this type of surgery is still relatively new, research has been initiated to determine how the immediate and long-term results will compare to traditional surgery.
What Happens After the Surgery?
The average hospital stay after knee joint replacement is usually three to five days. The vast majority of people who undergo knee joint replacement surgery have dramatic improvement. This improvement is most notable one month or more after surgery. The pain caused by the damaged joint is relieved when the new gliding surface is constructed during surgery.
After knee joint replacement, people are standing and moving the joint the day after surgery. At first, you may walk with the help of parallel bars, and then a walking device -- such as crutches, walker, or cane -- will be used until your knee is able to support your full body weight. After about 6 weeks, most people are walking comfortably with minimal assistance. Once muscle strength is restored with physical therapy, people who have had knee joint replacement surgery can enjoy most activities (except running and jumping).
How Long Will I Need Physical Therapy After Knee Joint Replacement?
After you are discharged from the hospital, you are usually sent home or to a rehabilitation facility, depending on your condition at that time. If you are sent to a facility, the average rehabilitation stay is approximately seven to ten days. If you are sent directly home from the hospital, your doctor will usually have a physical therapist come to treat you at home. Your doctor also may have you go to an outpatient physical therapy facility as the final stage of the rehabilitation process. Outpatient therapy may last from one to two months, depending on your progress.
Rehabilitation (rehab) after a knee replacement is intensive. The main goal of rehab is to allow you to bend your knee at least 90 degrees-enough to do daily activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, sitting in and getting up from chairs, and getting in and out of a car. Most people can get considerably more bending than 90 degrees after surgery. However, one of the factors that affects how much bend you get after surgery is how much bend you had before surgery. To get the most benefit from your surgery, it is very important that you take part in physical therapy both while you are in the hospital and after you go home from the hospital.
Will I Have to Avoid Certain Movements and/or Activities Following Surgery?
After knee joint replacement surgery, you should not pivot or twist on the involved leg for at least six weeks. Also during this time, when lying in bed, you should keep the involved knee as straight as possible. Kneeling and squatting also should be avoided soon after knee joint replacement surgery.
Your physical therapist will provide you with techniques and adaptive equipment that will help you follow guidelines and precautions while performing daily activities. Remember, not following the given precautions could result in the dislocation of your newly replaced joint.
How Can I Manage at Home During Recovery?
The following tips should make your recovery at home easier.
You should ask your doctor before returning to such activities as driving, sexual activity, and exercise.
Is Knee Joint Replacement Surgery Safe?
Knee joint replacements have been performed for years and surgical techniques are being improved all the time. As with all surgeries, however, there are risks:
How Long Will My New Joint Last?
When joint replacement procedures were first performed in the early 1970s, it was thought that the average artificial joint would last approximately 10 years. We now know that about 85 percent of the joint implants will last 20 years. Improvements in surgical technique and artificial joint materials should make these artificial joints last even longer.
Doctors may not recommend knee replacement for people who:

Hip Replacement Surgery
Hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which a doctor surgically removes a painful or damaged hip joint and replaces it with an artificial joint. It usually is done when all other treatment options have failed to provide adequate relief. The procedure should relieve a painful hip joint, making walking easier.
What Happens During Hip Replacement Surgery?
Hip replacement surgery can be performed traditionally or by using what is considered a minimally-invasive technique. The main difference between the two procedures is the size of the incision.
During standard hip replacement surgery, you are given general anesthesia to relax your muscles and put you into a temporary deep sleep. This will prevent you from feeling any pain during the surgery. A spinal anesthetic also may be given to help prevent pain.
The doctor will then make a cut along the side of the hip and move the muscles connected to the top of the thighbone to expose the hip joint. Next, the ball portion of the joint is removed by cutting the thighbone with a saw. Then an artificial joint is attached to the thighbone using either cement or a special material that allows the remaining bone to attach to the new joint.
The doctor then prepares the surface of the hipbone -- removing any damaged cartilage -- and attaches the replacement socket part to the hipbone. The new ball part of the thighbone is then inserted into the socket part of the hip. A drain may be put in to help drain any fluid. The doctor then reattaches the muscles and closes the cut.
While most surgeries today are performed using the standard technique (one 8 to 10 inch cut along the side of the hip), in recent years, some doctors have been using a minimally-invasive technique to perform hip replacement. In the minimally-invasive approach, doctors make one to two cuts from 2 to 5 inches long. The same procedure is performed through these small cuts as with standard hip replacement surgery.
The small cuts are thought to lessen blood loss, ease pain following surgery, shorten hospital stays, reduce scar appearance, and speed healing.
What Happens After the Surgery?
You will likely stay in the hospital for 4 to 6 days and may have to stay in bed with a wedge-shaped cushion between your legs to keep the new hip joint in place. A drainage tube will likely be placed in your bladder to help you go to the bathroom. Physical therapy usually begins the day after surgery and within days you can walk with a walker, crutches or a cane. You will continue physical therapy from weeks to months following the surgery.
What Activities Should I Avoid After Hip Joint Replacement Surgery?
For anywhere from six to 12 months after hip replacement surgery, pivoting or twisting on the involved leg should be avoided. You should also not cross the involved leg past the midline of the body nor turn the involved leg inward and you should not bend at the hip past 90 degrees. This includes both bending forward at the waist and squatting.
Your physical therapist will provide you with techniques and adaptive equipment that will help you follow any of the above guidelines and precautions while performing daily activities. Remember, by not following your therapist's recommendations you could dislocate your newly replaced joint and may require another surgery.
Even after your hip joint has healed, sports or heavy activity should be avoided. The replacement joint is only designed for usual day-to-day activity.
Will I Need to Take Special Measures to Manage at Home After Hip Replacement Surgery?
There are a few simple measures that you can take to make life easier when you return home after hip joint replacement, including:
You should ask your doctor before returning to such activities as driving, sexual activity and exercise.
Is Hip Replacement Surgery Safe?
Hip replacements surgeries have been performed for years and surgical techniques are being improved all the time. As with all surgeries, however, there are risks. Since you will not be able to move around much at first, blood clots are a particular concern. Your doctor will give you blood thinners to help prevent this from occurring. Infection and bleeding also are possible, as are risks associated with using general anesthesia.
Other less common concerns that you and your doctor must watch out for are:
How Long Will My New Joint Last?
When hip joint replacement surgeries were first performed in the early 1970s, it was thought that the average artificial joint would last approximately 10 years. We now know that about 85% of the joint implants will last 20 years. Improvements in surgical technique and artificial joint materials should make these implants last even longer. If the joint does become damaged, surgery to repair it often is very successful.
Living with a Hip Replacement
Your health professional will probably want to see you at least once every year to monitor your hip replacement. Gradually, you will return to most of your pre-surgery activities. If you drive a car, your health professional will probably allow you to start driving an automatic shift car in 6 to 8 weeks, provided the seat is not too low and you are no longer taking pain medication.
Because of the way the hip is structured, every added pound of body weight adds 3 pounds of stress to the hip. Controlling your weight will help your new hip joint last longer.
Stay active to help maintain strength, flexibility, and endurance. Your activities might include walking, swimming (once your wound is completely healed), dancing, golf (don't wear shoes with spikes, and do use a golf cart), and bicycling on a stationary bike or on level surfaces. More strenuous activities, such as jogging or tennis, are not advised after a hip replacement.
SOURCE: National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases.
In shoulder replacement surgery, doctors replace the ends of the damaged upper arm bone (humerus) and usually the shoulder bone (scapula) or cap them with artificial surfaces lined with plastic or metal and plastic. Shoulder joint components may be held in place with cement, or they may be made with material that allows new bone to grow into the joint component over time to hold it in place without cement.
The top end of your upper arm bone is shaped like a ball. Muscles and ligaments hold this ball against a cup-shaped part of the shoulder bone. Surgeons usually replace the top of the upper arm bone with a long metal piece, inserted into your upper arm bone that has a rounded head. If the cup-shaped surface of your shoulder bone that cradles your upper arm bone is also damaged, doctors smooth it and then cap it with a plastic or metal and plastic piece.
Surgeons are now trying a newer procedure called a reverse total shoulder replacement for people who have painful arthritis in their shoulder and also have damage to the muscles around the shoulder. In this procedure, after the surgeon removes the damaged bone and smoothes the ends, he or she attaches the rounded joint piece to the shoulder bone and uses the cup-shaped piece to replace the top of the upper arm bone. Early results are encouraging.
Surgeons do most joint replacement surgeries using regional anesthesia. That means you can't feel the area of the surgery and you are sleepy, but you are awake. The choice depends on your doctor, on your overall health, and, to some degree, on what you prefer.
Your doctor may recommend that you take antibiotics before and after the surgery to reduce the risk of infection. If you need any major dental work, your doctor may recommend that you have it done before the surgery. Infections can spread from other parts of the body, such as the mouth, to the artificial joint and cause a serious problem.
You will have intravenous (IV) antibiotics for about a day after surgery. You will also receive medications to control pain, and perhaps medications to prevent blood clots (anticoagulants). It is not unusual to have an upset stomach or feel constipated after surgery. Talk with your doctor or nurse if you don't feel well.
When you wake up from surgery, you will have a bandage on your shoulder and probably a drain to collect fluid and keep it from building up around your joint. You may have a catheter, which is a small tube connected to your bladder, so you don't have to get out of bed to urinate. You may also have a compression sleeve on your arm, which squeezes your arm to keep the blood circulating and to help prevent blood clots.
A physical therapist may begin gentle exercises of your shoulder on the day of surgery or the day after. These exercises are just passive motion; you relax and let the therapist move your arm for you.
Most people who have shoulder replacement surgery are able to sit up and get out of bed with some help later on the day of surgery.
Your health professional may teach you to do simple breathing exercises to help prevent congestion in your lungs while your activity level is decreased.
The First Few Days
You will probably still be taking some medication. You will gradually take less and less pain medication. You may continue anticoagulant medications for several weeks after surgery.
A physical therapist will move your arm for you to keep your shoulder loose as it heals. The therapist will also show you how to use a pulley device so you can move your arm when you go home from the hospital. Your therapist may also begin some simple exercises to keep the muscles of your other arm and your legs strong.
Rehabilitation (rehab) after a shoulder replacement starts right away. It is not too demanding early on, but it is very important that you do it. Most doctors will not allow you to use the shoulder muscles for several weeks after surgery. The main goal of rehab is to allow you to move your shoulder as far as possible so it's easier for you to do daily activities, such as dressing, cooking, and driving. Most people eventually regain about two-thirds of normal shoulder motion after surgery. However, other factors that affect how much movement you get after surgery are how much movement you had before surgery and whether the soft tissues around your shoulder were also damaged. It is very important that you take part in physical therapy both while you are in the hospital and after you are released from the hospital to get the most benefit from your surgery.
Most people go home 1 to 3 days after surgery. Some people who need more extensive rehab or those who don't have someone who can help at home go to a specialized rehab center for more treatment.
Continued Recovery
Once you go home, monitor the surgery site and your general health. If you notice any redness or drainage from the wound, notify your surgeon. You may also be advised to take your temperature twice each day, and to let your surgeon know if you have a fever over 100.5 °F(38.1 °C).
You will have an exercise program to follow when you go home, even if you are still having physical therapy. You should use the pulley to move your arm 4 to 5 times each day. If you notice any soreness, try a cold pack on your shoulder and perhaps decrease your activity a bit, but don't stop completely. Sticking to your exercise program will help speed your recovery.
Rehabilitation generally continues after you leave the hospital until you are able to function more independently and you have recovered as much strength, endurance, and mobility in your shoulder as you can. Total rehabilitation after surgery will take several months.
An example of a typical rehabilitation schedule is:
Living with a Shoulder Replacement
Your health professional may want to see you periodically for several months or more to monitor your shoulder replacement. Gradually, you will return to many of your pre-surgery activities.
Stay active to help maintain strength, flexibility, and endurance. Your activities might include light yard work, walking, swimming (once your wound is completely healed and your health professional has approved), dancing, and golf. Your doctor may recommend that you avoid heavy lifting and repetitive activities.
Most people have much less pain after shoulder replacement surgery and are able to do many of their daily activities more easily.
The younger you are when you have the surgery, and the more stress you put on the joint, the more likely it is that you will eventually need a second surgery to replace the first artificial joint. Over time, the components wear down or may loosen and need to be replaced.
Your artificial joint should last longer if you do not do hard physical work or play sports that stress the joint. If you are older than 60 when you have joint replacement surgery, the artificial joint will probably last the rest of your life.

So I picked up a trunk kit recently from craigslist for $30, expecting to use this on my preamp, power amps, and speakers. Well, I couldn't figure out how to drop the driver out of the speaker last night and didn't prod too much in fear of scratching the finish on them. I did however get it applied to the Shuguangs. This has undoubtedly improved overall SQ. While I lost a bit of air that I had before, there is more texture to all notes, so much so that stuff I never really equated to an instrument are now plain as day coming from an instrument. I was listening to I think track 5 on the Gladiator Soundtrack and there is this long note that was always monotone, never changing in any way. Now, you can hear the fluctuation of that note while its being played. The soundstage became more three-dimensional as well, but it seems width stayed about the same. There was a slight increase in imaging, but again the biggest change was just overall detail.
By far the most noticeable improvement is in the bass notes. The Usher's still pressurize the room, but it seems this application sucked up the midbass hump they had that overpowered the room. Bass notes have much more texture to them, and I'm even noticing differences in drums that I never noticed before. I highly recommend this mod for those looking for cheap ways to improve their game. I used between 3 and 4 sq ft of dynamat for all three pieces.

BehindTheBeat feat. DJ Dahi & Rahki (Money Trees)
If you paid any attention to this blog and hip hop music in 2012, then you know how big Kendrick Lamar's album Good Kid, Maad City was. A large part of it's succcess was the stand out track "Money Trees" featuring Jay Rock, produced by DJ Dahi. With the help of the internet, most music junkies are aware of the sample (Beach House - Silver Soul), but this video goes into detail on DJ Dahi's thought process and how much more than a simple loop it was to create the beat. With the addition of darker synths that gave it a more gloomy tone and the lyricism from Kendrick and Jay Rock, it's no wonder why this song will be remembered for a long time.
Benji B's String Ensemble Reinterprets Your Favorite Songs
In a almost hour long BBC Radio One special, DJ Benji B paired with composer Grant Windsor and a string ensemble to reinterpret a variety of dance music and hip hop songs. While Benji B mixed from a glass box, the musicians added new layers to some of 2012′s biggest tracks, including TNGHT's "Higher Ground" (my personal favorite song from 2012) and Kanye's "Clique". They even flipped some Dwele, Ossie, James Blake and Radiohead. Trust me, let this be the soundtrack to your annoying monday morning while you pretend to get work done. Tracklist below.

Wow, looks like they both scored quite a catch! So happy for them!
That sound you hear is hearts breaking all over the world. Congratulations, Michelle Kwan! http://www.people.com/people/article...628947,00.html
My first thought was that I hope UMBS was sitting down.
Congratulations to Kwan and Pell!

Michelle Pell?
Ah, we posted at the same time. I think she'll keep Kwan.
Lovely news!
Congrats to Michelle and her man!
Nice news. Congrats to her.
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
Wow! It's going to be the wedding of the decade, if not the century.
Congratulations to Michelle and her fiance'!
Congrats to her.
(On a very superficial note, he's younger than Michelle but looks older. I've always pictured her on the arms of some hottie. Oh well )
Congrats to them both! So the FSU rumor was true. Good sleuthing.

She's marrying a Coastie!!!
I hope her babies learn how to skate.
I just broke the news to my fam (we girls grew up watching Michelle grow up too) and my sister reports Mr. Pell works with her organization on non-profit policy work on student debt. Obviously they are a big supporter of Pell Grants.
That means he's a good guy doing good work! Which is really all we FSUers care about, despite our curiosity to if he's a hottie.

Federal Pensions and the Meaning of Fully Funded
- By Kellie Lunney
- November 8, 2012
- Leave a comment
With the 2012 presidential election over (finally!), the threat of the so-called fiscal cliff takes center stage. Congress and President Obama, reelected to a second term, will start negotiating in earnest over how to avoid the looming perfect storm of expiring tax cuts, sequestration and the debt ceiling. Any serious discussion of debt reduction and spending cuts almost always involves proposals to restructure federal compensation.
The Obama administration and lawmakers from both parties generally favor increasing the amount government workers contribute to their pensions. Federal employee unions, including the American Federation of Government Employees and the National Treasury Employees Union, are poised to do battle to protect retirement benefits and pay as the lame-duck session gets under way and the new Congress convenes in January 2013. During a conference call with reporters Wednesday morning, AFGE President J. David Cox argued against increasing feds' pension contributions in part by claiming that "federal employee retirement is fully funded." In other words, why change a system that's working fine as it is and not breaking the bank? It's an argument others have made before. But what does it mean?
Most federal workers fall under the Federal Employees Retirement System or the Civil Service Retirement System; both contain a mix of employee- and employer-financed contributions to the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund. FERS annuities are fully funded by the sum of employee and employer contributions and interest earned by the Treasury bonds held by the CSRDF, but that is not the case with CSRS retirement benefits. "The federal government makes supplemental payments into the CSRDF on behalf of employees covered by the CSRS because employee and agency contributions and interest earnings do not meet the full cost of the benefits earned by employees covered by that system," a September Congressional Research Service report stated.
Because of this, the CSRDF has an unfunded liability of $622.3 billion in fiscal 2010. This will rise to about $684.8 billion in 2023. But, and this is an important point, in 2023 that unfunded liability will decline and turn into a surplus of $716.7 billion by 2085, according to the Congressional Research Service. Why? Well, basically because at that point, there won't be any more CSRS employees. CSRS covers employees hired before 1984 when FERS came into existence and feds starting contributing to Social Security. Under CSRS, employees do not pay Social Security taxes. In 2011, according to CRS, less than one-sixth of federal employees were enrolled in CSRS.
"Actuarial estimates indicate that the unfunded liability of the CSRS does not pose a threat to the solvency of the trust fund," the CRS report stated. In addition, the report said, "unlike the Social Security trust fund, there is no point over the next 70 years at which the assets of the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund are projected to run out."
Current FERS employees contribute 0.8 percent of each paycheck to their pensions, in addition to contributing to Social Security and their Thrift Savings Plan accounts. The government contributes 11.9 percent of payroll to feds' pensions. Under CSRS, employees and the government each contribute 7 percent per paycheck toward retirement benefits.
Fallen Heroes and Travel Expenses
The government now will pay certain transportation and relocation expenses for the family members of some feds killed in the line of duty, according to a final rule the General Services Administration published in the Federal Register earlier this week.
"This final rule incorporates language based on the Special Agent Samuel Hicks Families of Fallen Heroes Act, to allow agencies to provide for relocation of dependents and the household effects of a 'covered employee' whose death occurred as a result of personal injury sustained while in the performance of the employee's duty as defined by the agency," the rule stated. Covered employees are federal law enforcement officers, FBI employees who are not law enforcement officers, and Customs and Border Protection officers.
The rule applies to travel relating to employees who died on or after June 9, 2010.
The government will cover expenses for the transportation of the immediate family, household goods, personal effects and one privately owned vehicle of a covered employee whose death occurred as a result of personal injury on the job.

text: Mr. Eskenazi, Your article is well-researched and informative to say the least. And I feel that I am reasonably informed enough to make this assessment (no pun intended). I am a former employee of the California Wildlife Conservation Board and I saw these sort of shenanigans being orchestrated for "conservation" properties for nearly 5 years before I was drummed out as a would-be whistleblower. The only success I has was getting California Watch to post a fairly weak article that only vaguely scratched the surface of this phenomenon [ ref. http://californiawatch.org/env... ] . Let me be clear here: there are hundreds of transactions representing hundreds of millions of dollars in unreported assessed and collected taxes across California every year. And yes, many of the "hogs" are in places such as Sonoma and Napa Counties, but they are everywhere to be sure.

Zac Zedrick returns for his third season at Miami. With a majority of his team returning and another recruiting class joining them, he believes that this will be the year the RedHawks take the next step.
"This is an exciting time for the program," said Zedrick. "We bring nine players back from last year's team who have gained some valuable competitive experience during the past couple of years. We're at a time now where that experience can really begin to translate to the type of performance that matches what our program is working toward."
Zedrick came to Miami after spending three seasons as an assistant coach at Wichita State. While at Wichita, he helped lead the Shockers to the Missouri Valley Conference Championship each year. They also participated in the NCAA Regional each season and three golfers earned All-America status. Zedrick aided in all aspects of recruiting for Wichita, while serving as the tournament director for their home tournament, the Diet Pepsi Shocker Classic.
Prior to his time in Wichita, Zedrick spent two seasons as a Graduate Assistant Coach at Toledo. While there he helped with all aspects of recruiting as well as providing on-course instruction during competitions.
Zedrick was a four-year letterwinner for Michigan State University. He served as team captain in each of his final two years. He was a member of the Academic All-Big Ten team in each of his final three seasons with the Spartans.
Zedrick earned his bachelor's degree in communications from Michigan State. He graduated with High Honors. He earned his master's degree from Toledo in 2008 in recreation management with an emphasis in athletic administration. He lives in Oxford with his wife Amanda.

The clarion call to repent and believe the gospel message reverberates all over the world.

Automation, environmental technology supplied to five biomass plants in France
Dalkia has selected Metso to supply automation, environmental technology to five biomass power plants in France
Metso will supply automation and environmental technology to control five biomass power plants to be built by Dalkia in France. The investments are part of France's national green energy program, which aims at reducing carbon dioxide emissions and curbing climate change.
Dalkia chose Metso as the DCS supplier because of its good track record from Dalkia's biomass plant, which started up in 2010 in Facture, France, with excellent experience. Dalkia wants to standardize the automation systems at all these six plants in order to save costs in erection, operation and maintenance, spare parts and staff training, among others.
The first plant will be built in Limoges and is due to start up in February 2012. The other ones in Angers, Orleans, Tours and Rennes will be completed later in 2012. The plant in Limoges in west-central France will have a capacity of 7.5 MWe of electricity and 17 MWt of district heat. It will supply electricity to the national grid and district heat to the neighboring urban areas in Limoges.
Metso's delivery will consist of a Metso DNA distributed control system and an emission monitoring/reporting system for gas emission control.
A subsidiary of Veolia Environnement and EDF, Dalkia is the European leader in energy services for public authorities and companies. It manages 118,000 energy facilities and has over 50,000 employees in 42 countries.

In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

text: The State Senate defeated a bill that would have prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. It would have given gays and lesbians protections in the workplace. Opponents said it could have led to unfair burdens on employers and infringe on religious freedoms. Senator Chris Rothfuss says he's sorry that the bill would be inconvenient for certain employers, but he added that was the point. But Baggs Senator Larry Hicks says the legislation would do little.

How are the cars, jeeps, vans, minibuses and coaches like in Vietnam? Are they safe?
Our standard for vehicles we use for our tours is that no vehicle can be more than 5 years old. This is not only for your comfort but also for environmental protection. There are four main vehicle types being used now: Toyota, Mercedes, Ford, and Honda, aside from these we sometimes use Nissans and BMWs.
For those who have traveled to Vietnam in the past may remember the old Russian jeeps used for the Northwest and Northeast loop. We have stopped using them because of safety and environmental reasons.

Today, July 11, is National Collector Car Appreciation Day across the U.S. That means...
The Formula One Teams Association has been weakened further by the departure of Sauber.
The Swiss team has followed Ferrari and Red Bull Racing, which left last week. With HRT having quit long ago, FOTA now has eight members among the 12 teams.
A spokesperson told Autoweek, "The Sauber F1 Team has declared its departure from FOTA last Friday. The team has informed FOTA about the reason for the decision."
In the past, Sauber has been known to often support Ferrari's stance on political issues but sources say that the team told its fellow members that this was not the case.
Scuderia Toro Rosso did not have a representative at Tuesday's FOTA meeting in London but there is no official word as to whether the Italian team is also on the way out. Given its Red Bull and Ferrari connections, such a move would not be a huge surprise.

Michael Jackson's Most Unforgettable Moments

Man On Fire
While filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984, Jackson's hair caught on fire. The next day—with visible burn marks along his ear and cheek—the singer went out to dinner with Webster TV star Emmanuel Lewis. It is believed that he first began dabbling in plastic surgery at this time.

The Office of Community Engagement was established in 2009 to support Radford University's mission to prepare students for lives as active citizens and scholars able to contribute and lead positive social change. Our office consists of an Assistant Director, Tim Filbert, and several students who help to connect other students with service-learning opportunities. Our mission is to engage students in local, regional and broader communities to support their growth as mature, socially responsible, and well-educated citizens through experiences that address human and community needs. Specifically, we seek to:
- Coordinate and develop a range of service-learning (SL) experiences: one-time and short-term experiences, discipline-based SL courses, community-based research, and intensive SL experiences.
- Raise awareness about crucial social concerns and encourage students to view themselves as part of local and global communities, and challenge them to understand and seek solutions to the complex root causes of these systemic problems.
- To strengthen connections between theory and practice by integrating community service with academic coursework/research.
- Integrate service activities into both curricular and student-led (co-curricular) programs.
- Develop leadership opportunities for students.
"From their earliest days, state colleges and universities have diligently served in their role as stewards of place, answering the call to join with public and private partners in their communities and regions to take advantage of opportunities and confront challenges." (AASCU, 2002)

Give or take a million people, this was a typical Seattle Seahawks event: It included an overwhelming expression of emotion and an unprecedented connection between the team and their fan base – along with whatever slice of Theater of the Absurd that running back Marshawn Lynch can contribute.
At the culmination of the celebration parade through downtown, when the Super Bowl-winning players were introduced at CenturyLink Field, Lynch came onto the field with
a bottle of champagne in one hand and a tribal drum in the other.
And when proper and stately quarterback Russell Wilson appeared carrying the Lombardi Trophy – perhaps the most sought-after symbol in big-time sports – Lynch jumped off the stage, raced toward Wilson, and shook the bottle so that it squirted alcohol all over Wilson and Lombardi.
And for the rest of the day, he pounded on his drum.
Total Beat Mode.
Military vehicles and amphibious "Ducks" carried the various units of the team through Seattle from Experience Music Project to CenturyLink Field. Seattle Police Department estimated that a crowd of 700,000 lined the streets (Seattle 2012 census: 635,000).
Owner Paul Allen later said he was told it was a million people. Either way, the figures didn't include the many thousands who intended to join in but hit gridlock and turned back.
The conclusion: This town is going to have to get better mass transit if the Seahawks are going to make a habit of winning these things.
"I have never seen anything like this," coach Pete Carroll said. "It's not because of the hype or the build-up, it's about the people in this area and the support they have and the love in their heart for this football team."
He even made a statement that Pete Carroll viewers would find startling. He said he did not have "enough words to describe the emotions."
When Carroll runs out of words, we're talking about the rhetoric apocalypse.
But that was the tone of the day. I was positioned at the stadium for the second part of the celebration, so I had to rely on parade coverage from the Q13 Fox studios, where rapturous news people apparently had been inhaling heavy doses of nitrous oxide.
The coverage showed vehicles creeping through mass humanity, with frantic but orderly fans sending affection to the players and the players reflecting it right back.
For having run out of words, Carroll captured the very best part of being paraded through a million people. It wasn't the throng, but the individuals that comprised it.
"The thing that struck me so was the little kids in the front row, and knowing we're touching them," he said. "They're screaming and hollering. To know they have this moment, and hope they'll remember their connection with their parents and families. From young to old, this was a very unique opportunity we shared, and it's a great gift."
When they got to the stadium, and were introduced, and fans had the chance to meet even the players who were the hidden denizens of the depth chart.
Defensive tackles Brandon Mebane and Michael Bennett executed signature sack-dance moves on their way out.
It left emcee Steve Raible to comment: "As you've probably seen by now, this is not going to be a very formal event."
Highlights from the season were played on the big screen. A compendium of collisions and conquests, one big play after another drew cheers.
Politicians tried to funnel the community goodwill in their direction. Seattle Mayor Ed Murray missed the mark when he congratulated the Seahawks as "the World Super Bowl champions."
About then, Lynch really started pounding his drum.
Allen made some heart-felt comments about having been born and raised in the town,
and his joy in sharing a moment that "Seahawk fans have been waiting for since 1976."
Carroll conducted his season-ending meeting with the media after the public celebration.
He claimed "we can be better in so many ways." He was asked to look back at the best season in franchise history. "I was witness to a team coming together and growing in great maturity and the kind of mentality it takes to not be satisfied, to not overlook stuff, to have a very mature approach. I watched that happen … and that's very, very special."
He voiced his only regret, as Lynch's continued drumming could be heard through the wall.
"The frustrating part was you just couldn't touch everybody and give everybody a chance to feel the gratitude we have for this whole relationship."
Don't be frustrated on that count, coach, you and this team profoundly touched everyone here this day.

This paper shows how competition for land may lead firms to optimally innovate in spite of the market being perfectly competitive. When bidding for a location, firms can enhance their bid by investing in innovations that make the land more valuable. Firms are willing to innovate because the non-replicability of land implies that they will not be undercut by some other producer leading to losses as in the standard theory. In the absence of spillovers over space and over time, firms will optimally innovate. Empirical evidence from U.S. metropolitan areas supports the predictions of the theory.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Santo Manzanillo turning heads with velocity
Phoenix -- With mostly pitchers and catchers in camp the last few days, Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke has spent plenty of time watching pitchers throw bullpen sessions.
"I love standing back there and watching the guys that I hear about," he said this morning. "I've told them these first couple of bullpens go easy because they're not going to make a team early. And even though you say go easy, some of these guys are in a nice rhythm."
Roenicke singled out Santo Manzanillo, a 24-year-old fireballer who has been pegged as a possible closer down the line in the big leagues.
The right-hander injured his throwing shoulder in a car wreck in late 2011 and struggled in 2012, going a combined 2-6 with a 6.95 ERA at three different levels in the minors while not being completely healthy.
Manzanillo made it as high as Class AA Huntsville but went 0-4 with a 6.08 ERA there. Those numbers, plus 15 walks against 14 strikeouts in 22 total innings between there, Class A Wisconsin and rookie-league ball in Arizona.
"Nice rhythm, nice easy arm and incredible how the ball comes out," Roenicke said. "I think last year he had a tough time getting through the season. Even though he healed up, he still wasn't totally 100 percent. What I saw yesterday, I would say he's back to what I heard he was before."
While Roenicke never likes to count anyone out, Manzanillo would be an extreme longshot to be part of the Brewers' opening-day bullpen with plenty of experienced talent ahead of him.
"I don't want to ever say anybody in this camp can't make our team, because that isn't true," said Roenicke. "When I'm thinking of people who really have a legitimate spot, he would have to really show something to really make our team."

It would be great if he made the team throwing heat out of the bullpen.
Probably a callup during the season if a reliever goes down and they need a lively arm.Could be something if can control his pitches better.Hide replies
lol they could do an article on anybody in the entire system and there will always be one gomer who predicts they will get called up.
inside pitch- I am glad to be a gomer but not Gomer Pyle. OOPs that really dates me. Hey I am an old geezer.
Velocity? I was hoping they weren't referring to Shaun Marcum!
He shouldn't have come back as soon as he did last year and that car crash lost his season. This kid as a hugeeeeee arm but come on. The fact that he could be great someday coming off a terrible season even if it wasn't healthy means a year in the minors. Give him AA and if he's good AAA and then maybe if we're struggling out of the bullpen like Jim Henderson last year we could break him up. Hopefully our bullpen for the most part will be consistant and he'll not see a major league field til 2014 at some point.
Doesn't matter how much heat you throw if you don't have command - ask Manny Parra!Hide replies
Some pitchers seem much faster than the gun measures them. Parra always seemed slower.
It would be nice to know what the actual velocity is....seeing as he's "turning heads with it"

"I made these cookies waaay back when in Home Economics class at Venice High School in L.A., California. With a shortbread texture blended with walnuts and cherries, these are certainly unforgettable. I usually bake them around Christmas, but they are super any time of year. They are particularly great with a hot cup of coffee, I hope you enjoy these as much as my family does!"

Original recipe yields 3 1/2 dozen
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the butter, vanilla and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Mix in salt, then stir in flour by hand until dough is stiff. Add the walnuts and cherries, and mix into the dough, kneading like bread on a clean floured surface.
- Roll dough into ping pong sized balls, and place onto ungreased cookie sheets. Press down balls with a fork to make a criss cross pattern on top.
- Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven. Let stand on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

Great cookies! People, if you change the recipe, it's not the recipe anymore. Rate it the way it's written and if you want to change it--write your own!
I am the original poster of this recipe (been trying to log-on to that account, but haven't been able to get the password right!) Baking times are truly variable, depending on your oven. You must watch cookies closely, I've found that once there is a light brown tinge, the time is right. The cookie's thickness will also affect baking times and textures. My avg is around 12-15 minutes, 17 minutes is too long, but of course all ovens are different. Lastly, sifted flour is vital. Regular flour makes it heavy and crumbly. That being said, this is one of my all time favorites. Rich, buttery and oh so good. I always end up adding much more cherries and walnuts than the original recipe calls for: usually up to 1c each, and I chop of the cherries very fine so that they are more evenly distributed. Every Christmas I get asked to make these.
Very good cookie. Instead of using my kitchen aid I decided to use my hand mixer and it worked fine. I did not sift the flour. After everything was mixed I did have to mush it together by hand and I lightly kneaded in the cherries and nuts. The dough was wonderful to work with, was easy to form and lightly flatten with a fork. I baked them on a parchment-lined sheet for 13-14 minutes. Removed the sheet from oven and let them sit for about 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. I don't like airbake sheets but if you decide to use one you may need to bake longer. I'll try to use half vanilla and half almond extract next time to see if the almond will compliment the cherries. I made a little cherry drizzle out of maraschino juice, milk, almond extract, melted butter and powdered sugar. Also made a cocoa drizzle with vanilla, milk, cocoa powder and powder sugar. Drizzled all the cookies with both chocolate and cherry drizzle. Cookie tasted good, looks great, and freezes well. Will make great little Christmas or valentine cookies. And, they taste great with coffee! This cookie is a hidden gem here on allrecipes!
