The most commonly performed joint replacements are knee replacements, hip replacements, and shoulder replacements. Much less commonly, other joints, such as elbows, wrists, and ankles, are being replaced as well. One of the problems with joint replacements, is that infections of these implanted joints can become a very serious problem.
Why do joint replacement infections cause problems?
Bacteria are usually well controlled by our immune system. Once an infection is detected, our immune system rapidly responds, and attacks the infecting bacteria. However, implanted materials, like those found in a joint replacement, can allow infections to persist. Our immune system is unable to attack bacteria that live on these implants, and these infections can become serious problems. If an infection of an implant goes untreated, the problem can worsen, and the bacteria can gain such a foothold that they can become a systemic problem.
The reason infections are such a significant problem is that bacteria cannot be easily eliminated from a joint replacement implant. Despite excellent antibiotics and preventative treatments, patients with a joint replacement infection often will require removal of the implanted joint in order to cure the infection.
What is done to prevent infections of total joint replacements?
At the time of surgery, there are several measures taken to minimize the risk of infection of a total joint replacement. Some of the steps are known to lower the risk of infection, some are thought to help but not known. Among the most important, known measures to lower the risk of infection after total joint replacement are:
Antibiotics before and after surgery
Antibiotics are given within one hour of the start of surgery (usually once in the operating room) and continued for a short period following the procedure.
Short operating time and minimal OR traffic
Efficiency in the operation by your surgeon helps to lower the risk of infection by limiting the time the joint is exposed. Limiting the number of operating room personnel entering and leaving the room is thought to decrease risk of infection.
Use of strict sterile technique and sophisticated sterilization techniques
Care is taken to ensure the operating site is sterile, the instruments have been autoclaved and not exposed to any contamination, and the implants are packaged to ensure their sterility.
After the operation, the risk of developing an infection from an outside source is reduced, but there is still a risk of developing an infection from the blood stream. Because of this, patients with a joint replacement implant should take antibiotics before invasive procedures such as dental work, colonoscopies, etc. It is known that these procedures may cause a transient risk of bacteria entering the blood stream. Antibiotics will help control this and prevent joint infection.
What happens when a total joint replacement becomes infected?
When a total joint replacement becomes infected, it may loosen, become painful, and need to be removed. Unfortunately, even if the implant is washed clean during surgery, most types of infections require removal of the implant to cure the infection.
Why did I get an infection after joint replacement surgery?
There are several risk factors for developing an infection after a total joint replacement, but most patients have no identifiable cause for developing an infection. Some of the risk factors include:
- Immune deficiencies (e.g. HIV, lymphoma), or immune suppressive treatments (e.g. chemotherapy)
- Diabetes
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Obesity

Here's William from our BlackBerry Developer Relations team in EMEA to report on the most recent BlackBerry® 10 Jam tour stop! – Ed.
The London BlackBerry 10 Jam was our largest event to date, attracting developers looking to see what the BlackBerry 10 development tools are capable of. This was another great event to experience, as both the sheer number of developers and their positive attitudes alone were amazing. The venue, Vinopolis (a massive wine bar/conference center home-extension project bunker), was somewhat odd in its complex levels and floors and winding passages, but we didn't lose one developer all day. They came, they saw, they enjoyed what they saw of BlackBerry 10 – now they want more!
Stephen Bates, Managing Director Europe, kicked off the proceedings with an excellent keynote job that covered all the points effortlessly and gave the day an energetic buzz that kept building after each presentation. Andy Tipton was our MC for the day and kept the flow going on schedule.
Vivek Bhardwaj presented a seamless "Experience of BlackBerry" presentation, generating 'oohs' and 'aahs' from the audience when they saw the demos of the photo correction app and new virtual keyboard UI. Michael Weitzel continued with an animated trek through the BlackBerry 10 architecture and was assisted by Luca Sale on the demo device showing Cascades™. Later, Nick Smith of Marmalade provided his magical demonstrations of games running on both a BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet and BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha device.
Rana and Suavek both introduced what they were going to cover in the afternoon breakouts, and following their brief introductions we stopped for lunch and managed to move the almost 500 developers through the labyrinth to be fed and return for the lightning pitches.
The afternoon split into its native and web tracks, and we repeated the formula of Suavek being assisted by Nick from Marmalade. Yet again, this combination provided a lot of information and excitement. At the end of the day, we'd given out the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha prototype devices to a delighted audience of both new and established developers.This was another wildly successful day, and I was excited by the developer comments on Twitter®.
We generated a huge level of interest through this one-day event, but don't take my word for it – take a look at what our developers are saying:
@BlackBerryDev I've already sat down to work on BB10 app today after yesterday's London #BB10Jam! Excited by range of development options!—
Kate Glover (@lifson) June 15, 2012
@Derrickerrol Surprisingly tiring! So much good information and guidance! With #BB10Jam BB are really showing they care about devs – I did!—
Julian Clark (@B1uehoo1igan) June 15, 2012
Yesterday's WebWorks session at #BB10Jam was awesome and even got my 14 year old inspired to create apps. @BlackBerryDev—
DJ Reyes (@djr3yes) June 15, 2012
@ardiri I did, thanks to all the staff at #BB10Jam today! They sorted out us devs who are keen to get apps out. Appreciate this opportunity.—

Overall impression - Beautiful ship with something for everyone all of the time. We had cabins 11323 & 11325, which are Boardwalk balcony cabins and are third and fourth cabins from the AFT. These cabins have great views of the ocean and the Boardwalk, as well as the Aqua Theatre and zip lines
Embarkation was quick and easy. Due to customs delays resulting from the sequestration, we were told to arrive at 12:30. We did and were in our staterooms by 1 pm. Luggage arrived in our rooms at 3:45. Muster or safety drill was at 4:30 at the Aqua Theater at the end of the Boardwalk. As advised on Cruise Critic, we gabbed the Roast Beef sandwiches at the Park Cafe restaurant (deck 8 in Central Park) for our embarkation lunch. Good call. They literally carve the beef before you in your freshly made sandwich.
Day 1 - explored the ship and played mini golf with the kids. We had one of what would be our two dinners in My Time Dining at the main restaurant, Addagio. The prime rib was decent. Kids both had the pasta with seafood. That didn't look that great. Desserts and appetizers were average. We caught the 9:00 pm showing of the play, Chicago. While this is a Broadway show, this Allure version lacked something you find on Broadway. Individually, the singing, acting, and dancing was fine. Chemistry among the players was lacking a bit. Of course, it is miles ahead of the generic entertainment you get on most cruise ships. After the show, we caught the Ocean Aria show from our balconies above the Boardwalk. We had tickets for the Day 2 showing, but wanted to see it from our much higher vantage point. The show is outstanding, with incredible diving, gymnastics, and showmanship. Our first dinner was in the main dining room.
Day 2- a very brief port of call in Nassau. I was the only one in our family to leave the ship and that was to buy some casual long pants in town for my son. He only brought one pair of long pants and those were dress pants. We reserved the semi private Flow Rider lessons for the kids. There was only one other kid at the lessons. Great deal at $60 per kid for the hour. Both got up and surfed and rode it like a boogie board. We spent the rest of the day poolside and in the water. Dinner was at Chops. I had the porterhouse. It was half decent, but well below other steakhouses at sea. It was a thin cut of beef. I suppose I was expecting something closer to the Crown Grill quality of Princess and was disappointed. After, we headed to the Aqua Theater for our regular seating of Ocean Aria. It's a great show and better from the the seating in the theater. But if you have a Boardwalk Balcony, see it from both.
Day 3 - This was the first full day at sea. My 13-year old son told me that I HAD to do the zip line. Of course, I did. It's a fun 10-second ride. We hung out in the pools. There is a sports pool and we threw a rubber football around. Also rode the carousel with my daughter, hit the adult jacuzzi in the Solarium and just relaxed. While my wife passed, the kids and I had fun and caught the Dreamworks parade in the Royal Promenade. It was well done. We sat a bar on the second level. I admit that I had reservations about getting into the Dreamworks stuff. But this was a lot of fun. I think it was mid-afternoon. Dinner was at the Italian specialty restaurant, Giovanni's. Had the Osso Bucco, which was pretty good. Appetizers were outstanding. Overall, it's a better experience than Chops. But the specialty restaurants improved as the cruise went on (more on that later).
Day 4 - St Thomas. We actually purchased a ship excursion for the first time in our last four cruises. We love St John and the $40 per person price on a ferry leaving right next to the ship seemed like a great way to go. It was!!!! It's a 50 minute ferry right. You still need to pay $6 per person for transfer to and from the beach. Great afternoon at Trunk Bay, still our favorite beach by far, in the Caribbean. Great snorkeling and equipment rental was only $3. Fins are additional $2. Cheeseburgers and fried shrimp basket at the snack bar for lunch. Beautiful day all around. The evening show was the Beatles tribute band. They were actually very good and the crowd was into it. Apparently, they are a staple on many RCI cruises.
Day 5 - Saint Maarten - After breakfast at Park Cafe, we grabbed a taxi to Orient Beach (Kakao Resort) on the French side in St Martin. I had a beach massage a couple of resorts down in a private cabana for $45 for 1/2 hour. There's nothing like a good beach massage. The kids rode on something called Super Mable, which is an inflatable device that is towed by a very fast waverunner. We had a nice lunch on the beach and caught an afternoon taxi back. Taxis are $7 per person to and from the beach. We rested and got ready for our 8:30 pm Rita's Fiesta dinner and party. The Fiesta is a combination dinner and party, featuring music, dancing, and Margaritas (three different kinds). It's $20 for the alcohol package and $10 for kids and the virgin drink package. The food is not so great (fajitas, appetizers, and Mexican desserts). But you can't beat the good time and the three frozen margaritas for $20. Grab a bite before this event and have a great time.
Day 6 - At Sea - After two days at the beach, we all needed rest. We woke up late, and as usual, got breakfast at the Park Cafe, and then had a pool day. I found the Solarium adults only hot tub, which is really nice. But my son convinced me to hang out with the general public in the main pool area as well. This was a tough week back home in Boston and we did watch a good deal of news reporting on the capture of the Boston Marathon terrorists. At night, we had dinner at the Brazilian Steakhouse, Samba. Service was great and so was the food, especially the tenderloin, even a better cut of beef than I had in the porterhouse at Chops. Samba also has great ocean views and it's a great casual dinner. The night only got better with the big show, Blue Planet, in the Amber Theatre. To me, this is the Allure's signature show. Fantastic.
Day 7 - At Sea - Breakfast again at Park Cafe, followed by some pool time and a mid day Madagascar Aqua Theater Show, Well, that was a show worth skipping. In fact, it was one a singular disappointment on the Allure. Back to the Park Cafe for lunch and their great roast beef sandwiches. Headed back to the Solarium to get some sun and hot tub time, followed by the Ice Games skating show. The show was decent, but not a must do. Dinner was at Izumi, a Japanese hot rocks and sushi place with great water views as well. This was a surprise and a must do if you like Japanese. We had the combination dinners. I had the shrimp wonton soup, lobster make rolls, tempura, and tenderloin self cooked on the hot rocks. The dessert, three flavors of Japanese ice cream was also very good. I was surprised at how good Izumi was. After the show, we went to the adults only comedy club while the kids roamed the ship. The two comedians were very good and both had experience on tv shows and national comedy clubs. Great final show of our cruise.
Disembarkation - Like everything else, this was incredibly easy. It was quick and luggage was all together and easy to find.
Royal Caribbean delivered big time for us. We hadn't been on the line in seven years, for no particular reason. But we made sure to purchase future cruise credits before leaving.
Just a great cruise.

COMING UP: Panel discussion on Prop 13
Original post made on Apr 11, 2008
Read the full story here Web Link posted Wednesday, April 9, 2008, 3:45 PM
on Apr 11, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Proposition 13 is unmitigated evil. Don't try to fix it; it can't be fixed.
Simply get rid of it, and treat everyone as if we -- gasp! -- honestly believed them to have been created equal. California's Prop 13 does just the opposite, and simply can't be defended.
Can't be defended.
Don't defend it. End it.
And there will turn out to be enough land for all. When that some of that land hits the market -- at prices people can afford, realtors will collect commissions. Builders will have a place to ply their trade. People who need places to live will be able to afford to own them, and there will be plenty of rental housing available. All sorts of jobs will be created, with tremendous benefits to the entire community, not JUST the landholders, who collect most of the goodies now.
Doesn't that sound like a better place to live than one where poor people who own no land are the ones who pay an inordinate share of the taxes (through sales taxes which burden the economy and destroy jobs) in addition to the high rents they pay their landlords (mostly land value, not for luxurious homes, you know) and where people who have only recently been able to buy their homes pay the highest taxes in addition to having paid off the seller for land value he didn't create?
There is a better way, and most Californians will benefit. But those few who would lose -- the owners of the very best land -- are a powerful force, and they manage to convince many others that they, too, would be net losers, in spite of the untruth of that.
Wouldn't a California with good jobs and affordable homes and a vibrant economy be a better place to live?
Just get rid of Proposition 13. Many things will start to pick up.
End it. Don't defend it.
on Apr 14, 2008 at 1:39 am
Proposition 13 is pure evil. Get rid of it, period! It is unconstitutional. Homeowners on fixed incomes who can not afford to pay their rising property tax bills should be forced to go the county welfare office just like renters who can not pay their rent. Their income status should be verified right down to pocket change!!
Pick some slow-growth California town which is full of filthy rich homeowners, and stage a yearly anti-Proposition 13 parade there. Invite young people from around the country to march and peacefully demonstrate. At least a very public parade might force the media to talk about Propostion 13 honestly, rather than keep up the current silent attitude which is goes something like this: "Shhh!! Don't talk about California's dirty little secret! California homeowners want to perpetuate the financial abuse of California's children"
Rise up youth of California and get rid of Propostion 13!! Your energy and determination will guarantee your success!!
on Apr 18, 2008 at 4:13 pm
Sorry Angel-33, as much as I wish it were unconstitutional, the constitutionality of Prop 13 was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1992. It won't go away very easily.

How to Take Control of Your Cravings
Fight the Fatty Cravings
You think: After a crazy day at work I deserve a big pile of fries.
Why you can't resist: Stress intensifies cravings for comfort foods because your body wants the soothing hit of dopamine they provide. Eating something you love also happens to take your mind off what's bothering you, says Susan Albers, PsyD, author of 50 Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food.
Take control by: Jotting down your worries in a journal instead of numbing them with food. "You'll become more aware of your negative emotions so you can find ways to work through them," Dr. Albers says. Getting enough magnesium may also help halt binges since it aids in curbing the stress response, says nutritionist Elizabeth Somer, RD, author of Eat Your Way to Happiness. Try whole grains, nuts, and soy products.
You think: If I see chocolate I eat it. There's no stopping me!
Why you can't resist: It's not just the taste that makes chocolate so tempting -- it's also the blissed-out feeling you get from eating it. When chocolate's potent blend of fat and sugar hits your bloodstream, it signals the reward center of your brain to release dopamine, a chemical that produces feelings of euphoria. The sensation is basically a mild version of the high that people get after consuming drugs or alcohol, says Joe Frascella, PhD, director of the Division of Clinical Neuroscience and Behavioral Research at the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Take control by: Walking off the urge to indulge. Researchers at Britain's University of Exeter found that taking a 15-minute stroll may help curb chocolate cravings.
You think: When I'm feeling sad, I pop doughnut holes like mints. They're the perfect pick-me-up.
Why you can't resist: Carbs stimulate production of the feel-good hormone serotonin, which dips when you're depressed. "In a sense, foods such as doughnuts or pasta act like edible tranquilizers," says Judith Wurtman, PhD, coauthor of The Serotonin Power Diet.
Take control by: Eating carbs (seriously!). This is one craving you should satisfy because your body needs serotonin; without it you'll be stressed, tired, and irritable, explains Dr. Wurtman. She recommends limiting yourself to a "therapeutic" amount of low-fat carbs when a craving kicks in. "Eating just 25 grams -- about the amount in a cup of plain Cheerios or a small English muffin -- can help you feel better in 20 to 30 minutes."
You think: When I have PMS chocolate is a need, not a want.
Why you can't resist: Chocolate contains ingredients that can boost production of feel-good brain chemicals like serotonin, endorphins, and phenylethylamine, a chemical the body releases when you fall in love. But another reason you're cuckoo for cocoa is because you -- heck, pretty much all American women -- have come to associate chocolate with that time of the month. "Women in this country think of chocolate as a taboo food," says Debra Zellner, PhD, a professor of psychology at Montclair State University. "And because it's hard to resist temptation when you feel lousy, you're more likely to give in and eat chocolate when PMS symptoms start."
Take control by: Soothing premenstrual tension the healthy way through exercise, deep breathing, or yoga. Once you cut stress, your candy bar cravings will be less intense. To break the chocolate-period association in your mind, Dr. Zellner recommends eating small servings of chocolate throughout the month. "If you rarely give yourself permission to eat it, you're more likely to overdo it and to binge the few times you do decide to indulge," she says.

Earlier this week I pulled a muscle in my neck/shoulder, which has given me a few days of being laid up at home, watching Salt, eating muffins and musing!
Inspired by Lissa Rankin's articles, I want to share something with you to hopefully help anyone who is feeling in a one-step-forward, two-steps-back place.
Your souls calling
In one post, Lissa asks us all 'what is your soul dying to create?'. And i realised that my soul does not want to create.
Creating can be quite an earthly, tangible thing. It springs to mind a business, a book, a radio show, a house, a baby, a table, whatever it is! To me, 'to create' implies output.
And i realised that part of me had a belief that if i'm not producing (or creating) something, then whatever it is i'm doing is worthless. If there is not tangible, quantifiable 'thing', then what do I have to show for myself?
That's a terrible space to be in when your souls calling is truthfully not attached to outcomes. If you're in the headspace where tangible, quantifiable outcomes (the book, the show, the project etc) denote how well-spent your time is, or how much value you are worth, then you will look down on things that don't produce an obvious outcome. Things that you love to do for the pleasure of, the process.
My soul does not want to create anything. I know that for sure. My ego wanted to create EVERYTHING. It wanted an impressive bio full of books, movies, acting roles, gallery showings – tangible 'things' that prove i'm contributing to the world, being productive.
Nope, my soul can do without all that. For me, it's about what my soul needs to 'come out' – how it flows out into the world. It's like energy that just needs to have space. Anyone else ever feel that? I feel my soul doing it's thing when i'm on the dancefloor, when i'm singing & playing along to songs at ukelele jam, when i'm in the flow at stage combat class, and of course sex. I have NOTHING to show for myself at the end of these activities – no souvenirs (unless someone else has been filming it) , no products, i haven't been working towards anything – just enjoying myself in the moment.
My soul seeks opportunities, spaces, platforms, to do her thing, let her hair down, give it all to that space, then leave.
So is this true for you, i wonder? What does your soul need? And what does your ego need?
When i opened up to what my soul really craves (spaces to be free), I hit some gnarly beliefs.The main one being that my soul's desires are worthless.
How awful is that?! I know!!!
I'm sure it's an accumulation of many factors – let's face it, most of us have grown up in an education system that's results-based, and its likely that out parents geared us up that way too. Worthiness, productivity etc is often based on output and measurable things. So the things we do with no measurable output (other than that we love doing them) are left out of the equation. Even thinking about sex, 'How many orgasms did you have?' can be considered more important than 'how pleasurable was the ride?'
I don't know if this is to do with living in a masculine-skewed world, and i don't think it matters too much if it is – what matters is that we start to change our minds. The fact is, for some of us, we have to start unhooking 'worthiness' and value from productivity/outcomes.
The main reason why this is so important is that if you don't feel your soul's desires (to express, rather than to make something tangible) are worthy, that they don't matter, that they're not good, then you are pretty much telling yourself that you aren't worthy, don't matter, and are no good. And how the fuck can you live your life from that space?!
This is hard work. For me, i'm finding it hard work. To know that when i hit the dancefloor at class, just 'doing my thing' is enough. That my unique expression in whatever arena is enough. No-one ever told me that. Rarely has anyone ever said 'just bringing your spirit into a space is valuable in itself'.
Holy crap
Have you ever been valued for who you are, rather than for what you can do for another?
You're not 'of worth' because you produce an outcome, or fix a problem, or make someone else's life better. Your value doesn't come from being measured in terms of output or meeting anothers needs.
Your value does not come from output. Not from metrics. Not from what you can provide another. Not from what you can physically go out and change. Not from anything measurable or quantifiable.
Your value comes from your being. When you walk into a room. The way in which you make pancakes. That your presence alone can make someone else feel safe. That's your significance. Not the trophies, the certificates, the goals met, the number of followers – not that, none of that. Just your presence, your existence, and what your essence brings – which you carry with you all the time.
That's the value, the worth, the gold.
And I raise a valiant middle finger to the world that has distorted things so much that we don't feel worthy unless we're being over-producers, over-achievers, constantly looking to prove our worth.
The sting, the rub, the beginning, and now the end
I know a lot of this stuff isn't 'new' – god knows i've read it before. But i'm having a proper bing-bing moment so please bear with me.
Where does this split occur, where we start to believe we need to prove our worth & value in the world by going after external things? Even those of us who have let go of material things (fancy cars, job titles etc) still probably have other things we believe we need to have or do or be in order to be considered of value – whether that's creating output that others need, or doing something that we believe will have an impact, in order for us to feel valuable.
I can pin it down.
God bless my parents.
What did you have to do to get love? What did you have to do, who did you have to be, to feel recognized, valued? When you were a kid – did your parents project a role or their needs onto you? Or did your parents allow you to just 'be', getting their needs met from others or met by themselves in a healthy way?
Let's just say that both my parents were unable to provide themselves with the happiness and healing they needed, so I had a lot of stuff projected onto me. I lived in a world where my value, worth, came from what i could provide these people with – that i met their needs that I shouldn't have met. I wasn't valued for simply being me – messy, hanging from the trees, plastering-barbie-with-punk-make-up me. I was valued based on what i could do for others – be that fan their social status, or be an emotional rock.
And i guess I'm starting to crack that idea that i'm valuable just for being me, not for my output or for what I can give or do for others ( I enjoy helping empower others – i'm talking about enabling and/or martyrdom…).
So my big ol' Q's for the week for you are: What are your feelings, memories, ideas around 'being of value'? What do you value, what have people made you feel valued for? What's your lifeblood, is it different to what others value from you? What does your soul want to do, and do you value it? If not, why not?
And with that, I'm done. High fives to all who made it to the end of the post.
Your value is in your happy glory

Bethel University has a clear mission: boldly informed and motivated by the Christian faith, Bethel educates and energizes men and women for leadership, scholarship, and service. Bethel prepares graduates to serve in strategic capacities to renew minds, live out biblical truth, transform culture, and advance the gospel.
This mission lays the foundation for our vision: educationally excellent, globally engaged, equipping graduates to make exceptional contributions in life-long service to God and the world.
John Alexis Edgren founded Bethel as a seminary in 1871, with the name Baptist Union Theological Seminary. The seminary trained pastors to serve Swedish Baptist immigrants, fleeing religious persecution in Europe. Edgren, a sea captain and scholar who knew 30 languages, founded Bethel on the enduring conviction that Christians ought to love God with their minds and represent Him in all fields.
The Baptist General Conference (now Converge Worldwide) took on support of the seminary in 1914, moved it from Chicago to St. Paul, and merged it with a Christian high school. Following World War II, Bethel answered demand for four-year degrees, becoming Bethel College & Seminary.
Over the following decades, visionary leaders expanded Bethel Seminary to the West and East coasts, while growing the undergraduate program in St. Paul. In 1989, non-theological graduate programs were launched, followed by bachelor's degrees for working adults along with online learning options.
In 2004, already classified among "master's level universities," Bethel changed its name to Bethel University to match its broad scope of programs across 4 schools:
Bethel remains a private, Christian university, sponsored in part by the churches of Converge Worldwide, but open to all men and women willing to learn within an evangelical perspective and community.
In less than three decades, Bethel's programs have more than doubled to over 100 degree options, and enrollment has tripled to 6,000 students. But Bethel remains true to the vision of its founder, John Edgren: to develop broadly educated, critically thinking Christians—changing the world through service and leadership in Christ's name.
Through Bethel's education program, Joe Held gets ready to teach suburban middle schoolers.

1989 Mustang Parts
To mark the 25th anniversary of the Mustang, Ford did very little to change most 1989 Ford Mustang parts.

Ford did not do anything else to the Mustang to acknowledge the anniversary, though many adopted a special Saleen version of the Mustang and those custom 89 Mustang parts as the anniversary edition.

They've been described as 'the beating heart of the Olympics'. Without them the games simply would not have happened. In fact, our army of Olympic volunteers did such an incredible job that the Mayor's office is now stepping up plans to get them involved in other major events.
And this afternoon thousands of those volunteers packed into Trafalgar Square as Boris Johnson paid tribute to them with a special carol concert. Toby Sadler was there.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A coalition including ProgressOhio and other liberal policy groups finds that Ohio's controversial collective bargaining overhaul and 32 other bills introduced since last year contained language provided by the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council. Nine of the bills became law.
In a report released Monday, the coalition found ALEC paid "scholarships" averaging $1,900 to 20 Ohio legislators to cover travel, lodging, meals and family costs for conferences in New Orleans, San Diego and elsewhere. The Washington, D.C.-based council gets most of its funding from corporate entities.
ProgressOhio executive director Brian Rothenberg says he finds it "appalling" that corporations underwriting ALEC have played such a large role in writing Ohio laws.
Messages were left seeking comment at ALEC's national headquarters and with Rep. John Adams, its state chair.

Michael Vick was injured in the middle of the first quarter during the Eagles Monday Night Football game against the Patriots. As he dropped back to go deep off of playaction, Vick took a big shot to the midsection from Patriots rusher Jermaine Cunningham. The ball fluttered deep down the field as Vick was planted on the Gillette Stadium turf. It first appeared to be an injury to the ribs. An animated gif of the hit that injured him:
The Eagles quarterback was slow to get up at first, hobbling back to the huddle and grabbing his stomach. But a moment later, he went down to one knee and Andy Reid was forced to call a timeout. Nick Foles came in to replace him as he went to the locker room for further examination and x-rays.

Hope Park
FRISCO -- Six-year-old Ella Mitchell has cerebral palsy, which makes her different than her contemporaries. But in some ways, she is just like every other little kid.
"If you can get her in a swing that is made for her, she will swing to her heart's content," said her mother, Andrea Mitchell.
The problem is, it can be difficult to get Ella into a swing. She and other children with limitations often encounter playgrounds that are limited, too.
We met Ella at a playground in Richardson, where pretty much the only items easily accessible to her were some spinning blocks. The slides, the swings, and the monkey bars were all just unattainable temptations, her mother lamented.
"When you bring her to a place like this, you are just showing her something she can't have," her mother said. "It's heartbreaking for both of us. It's heartbreaking for me that she can't enjoy a typical playground."
So an atypical playground may be the answer. And Friday, they started building one in Frisco.
It's a playground that organizers say will be unlike any other in North Texas -— one able to accommodate a lot of children with a variety of special needs.
Those who conceived the project point out that about nine percent of students in Frisco schools are in special education programs because of sensory, speech, developmental, or physical delays. Yet, they say there is no public place locally that is built with those kids in mind.
Andrea Mitchell said she's tried out other parks in North Texas that have some accommodations for her daughter, but nothing like what she sees in the plan at Hope Park.
"On the scale that they're doing it, with the amount of pieces for special needs kids that they are going to have, there's nothing I have ever seen at any of the places we have gone and traveled that there is anything like this," she said.
Her hope is that by mid-May, outings to the playground will become a lot more fun for her and for Ella. That's the timeline for the completion of Hope Park, but to meet that goal, organizers say they will need more volunteers.

Argentine biodiesel market in a mess following new export duty system
In Argentina, October biodiesel blending fell by half while exports fell by 67% to just 65,700 metric tons due to the government's sliding-scale export duty system that was implemented two months ago, as well as an on-going anti-dumping investigation by the European Union.

Rotoworld's Evan Silva went back and looked at Jared Cook's 2012 tape with the Titans to get a better sense of how he might contribute to the Rams in 2013. It's a great read that's definitely worth your time.
Unsettlingly, it left me with more questions than answers.
Ultimately, Silva's evaluation of Cook's time in Tennessee can be summed up thusly: he was underused on a team with poor quarterback play. Here's his take on Cook's irrelevance in the Titans' red zone opportunities:
This was stunning. Granted, the 2012 Titans were so bad that simply getting into opposing red zones was a rare occurrence. But when they did, their mismatch-creating tight end was regularly either ignored by the playcaller or quarterback, or rotting on the sideline. Again, Cook was targeted 76 times last season, including penalty-negated plays. Only nine of Cook's 2012 targets (11.8 percent) came in the red zone. The results of those nine targets? Five completions for 44 yards and two touchdowns. Not great red-zone efficiency, but not terrible by any means.
I suppose there are some elements to Cook's game that might lead a coaching staff to believe he isn't a dominant red-zone receiver -- and we'll get there next -- but to waste a 6-foot-5, 248-pound athletic phenom in scoring position seems to me like fantastically poor coaching. You may notice a theme here: I don't believe the Titans are coached or quarterbacked very well. But that's a topic for another forum.
This is a good microcosm of what many Rams fans are concerned with: the Rams shelled out a ton of money (5-year, $35m+, $19m guaranteed) on a tight end who has yet to be used properly and at the proper rate. In other words, that's a lot of money to pay for something you haven't seen enough of yet. Consider that Lance Kendricks, the Rams' in-line TE, is entering year three of a four-year deal for just over $4m...
That being said, what interests me is how the Rams implement the different skill sets the targets for Sam Bradford offer.
You've got a deep threat in Chris Givens, a possession man in Brian Quick (hopefully...), a seam specialist in Jared Cook, a blocking/possession hybrid in Kendricks, a slot playmaker in Tavon Austin and whatever Stedman Bailey and Austin Pettis can bring to the table. Without even broaching the topic of running backs, that's a very interesting group with some entirely disparate skills.
That gives Cook a bit of pressure though. As a big play/clutch specialist, he's not in a position where he can afford mistakes on volume (see: Brandon Gibson). Here's Silva again on his expectations for Cook in St. Louis:
Jared Cook has never been a voluminous catcher of footballs because that's not who he is. He is a big-play, vertical-seam tight end, ill suited to be utilized like Jason Witten in Dallas, or even Brandon Pettigrew in Detroit. That's not his skill set...
... I expect Rams offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to run a lot of four-wide packages with Cook and Tavon Austin in the slots, and Brian Quick and Chris Givens as the outside receivers. I anticipate this'll be Schottenheimer's base offensive look on most passing downs, whether it be third-and-long, third-and-medium, or when St. Louis is attempting to erase a deficit...
...While I don't think Cook will ever be a high-volume receiver who catches 65-80 balls a year, I wouldn't be surprised if he paced St. Louis in receiving yards and touchdowns.
As of right now, my assessment of the Rams' 2013 offense is a jumble of unknowns. I have less certainty about any opinion of this offense than I have in a bit more than a decade when I was entirely certain that the offense was very good...and it was.
Cook's at the center of that. You could make the case that the coaching staff's biggest job this offseason is to assemble the offense appropriately. Figure out how to make the Cook/Kendricks pairing work. Get the ball to Tavon Austin often with sufficient space. Find ways to get Chris Givens one-on-one matchups deep. Navigate the WR depth chart beyond those two.
So as we slog through the offseason toward training camp in late July (assumedly), bear in mind that the lack of certainty here creates opportunity.
The Rams' coaching staff, and Cook, will have to take advantage of that opportunity to make the most out of the 2013 season.

Pete York
PETE was born in Middlesbrough, England on 15th August 1942.
The Second World War was raging but he had nothing to do with it.
1950 he began to play on a toy drum and his mother's cooking pots while listening to American jazz on the radio; probably his first exposure to drum legend, Gene Krupa.
Pete played drums throughout his school years and joined the Trent College Jazz Club, School Orchestra and Army Cadet Force Band. On leaving school in 1960 he had acquired some rudimentary technique on the drums and his enthusiasm was growing fast for a life in music.
He went to Birmingham and soon got involved in the music scene there, playing everything from Dixieland to modern jazz.
In 1962 came his first TV appearance with an award-winning new jazz group.
Pete had also begun to play blues and R & B with Spencer Davis, Steve and Muff.
Eventually the Spencer Davis Group would record in 1964. The record releases that followed resulted in critical acclaim in many countries and ever-increasing chart success.
"Keep On Running" reached Number One in 1965 to be followed in the next year by "Somebody Help Me", "When I Come Home", Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm A Man".
Pete appeared with the SDG in several films, countless TV shows around the world and is heard on all the million selling singles and albums.
But there always comes that time to move on and Steve and Muff had already left.
In 1969 Pete left Spencer on friendly terms to form a unique duo with Eddie Hardin.
Hardin & York were sometimes dubbed "the World's Smallest Big Band" and released several albums with great success, especially in Europe.
The duo often played as opening act for bands like Deep Purple and it is from this time that Pete's friendship with Jon Lord and Ian Paice stems.
By 1972 Pete York's Percussion Band had hit the road. It featured a brass section and three drummers as well as guitarist/singer Miller Anderson. Occasional guest drummers in this adventure were Ian Paice, Keef Hartley, Roy Dyke and Keith Moon.
Klaus Doldinger was a much acclaimed saxophonist bandleader from Germany and in 1973 he put together a package including his own Passport group plus guests, Alexis Korner, Brian Auger, Johnny Griffin and Pete York. It was a mixture of stylists and it worked beautifully.
The next year came a call from Jon Lord for Pete to play with "Rock Meets Classic" an experimental mix of rock group and orchestra which Jon had pioneered with Deep Purple a couple of years earlier. This year of 1974 also included a revival of the Spencer Davis Group for American and European tours.
Six weeks in Bali with Eberhard Schoener and a German film crew resulted in the album and TV special "Bali Agung" in 1975. In the same year Klaus Doldinger invited Pete to tour again with Johnny Griffin, Les McCann and Buddy Guy. The recording of Jon Lord's "Sarabande" also took place during this year.
In 1976 Pete could not resist Chris Barber's invitation to play "Echoes of Ellington" with his band and Russell Procope and Wild Bill Davis from the Duke Ellington Orchestra.
Pete stayed happily with the band to tour Africa and Australia and accompany exciting guests.
In spite of playing more than 250 shows a year Pete took time to marry Mecky on 16 June 1977 and their village wedding was a star-studded event with everyone from the Purples to the Barbers showing up.
Trummy Young from the Louis Armstrong All Stars and John Lewis from the Modern Jazz Quartet joined the Barber Band for "Swing Is Here" in 1978.
The formation of Pete York's New York took Pete away on tour a lot . Daughter Stephanie was born on 3 May 1979. The responsibility of keeping a regular band on the road as Chris Barber had always done was not easy but Pete kept it going until 1983 and produced several recordings of their jazz-rock music. There were many other sideman gigs for Pete, such as with Dr John and Charlie Watts Rocket 88. The Rock and Blues Circus made its first tours with Chris Farlowe, Jon Lord and Colin Hodgkinson and there were Direct to Disc albums produced.
In 1984 Pete moved to Germany with Mecky and Stephanie and a new phase of life began for them.
Pete decided to invite some of his old colleagues to tour under the motto "Pete York Presents..."
Spencer, Chris Farlowe and Brian Auger all came on the road with Pete and frequent rhythm partner Colin Hodgkinson.
A chance meeting with TV director Michael Maschke led to discussions about various TV projects and the idea for " Superdrumming" was born.
Brian, Colin and Pete continued touring and made TV shows which included their comic lunacy as well as some great music. In 1986 a cartoon film scripted by Pete and called "Dracula Junior" was completed involving their music and voice talents.
By now the group had been christened "Daddy and the Steamers" by Stephanie.
Pete had long wanted to play some straight swinging jazz with some of his old friends and the opportunity came in 1987. The TV series "Villa Fantastica" was written by Pete and directed by Michael Maschke. Every show featured a live number played by a swinging quintet, Roy Williams, Dick Morrissey, Brian Auger, Harvey Weston and Pete.
Pete was writing and performing in the series "Vorhang Auf" and the first series of "Superdrumming" featuring Ian Paice, Louie Bellson, Cozy Powell, Gerry Brown and Simon Phillips was filmed in a church during a snowy February.
The next year, 1988, the production of the second series of "Superdrumming" featured Billy Cobham, Bill Bruford, Dave Mattacks, Zak Starkey, Nicko McBrain, Jon Lord and Eddie Hardin.
In 1989 there were tours with Chris Farlowe, Zoot Money, Tony Ashton, Jon Lord, Miller Anderson, Colin Hodgkinson and Pete in an All Star group.
The "Superdrumming" TV show won a Silver Award in America and a third series was planned.
By now the location was a disused steelworks and the guests included Jon Hiseman, Steve Ferrone, Mark Brzezicki, Trilok Gurtu and the return of Ian Paice.
The band on this series featured Miller, Colin, Brian, Jon and Barbara Thompson.
There were also more TV tapings of "Villa Fantastica" with the Swing band plus singers Maria Muldaur and Zoot Money.
The success of live gigs with the Swingers encouraged Pete to take a jazz group on the road.
"Superdrumming" was now well-known in Germany and in 1990 an invitation came to present it live in Freiburg. The drummers were Ian Paice, Jon Hiseman, Cozy Powell and Pete together with the All Star band. The show was sold out in a couple of hours.
Daddy and the Steamers continued to tour and Pete played in a duo with Brian Auger.
January of 1991 saw the first extended jazz tour "Hollywood Swing" featuring the musicians from "Villa Fantastica" and the tours would go out every January for the next ten years.
The Freiburg Festival invited Pete to organise a week of events involving around forty of his musical friends. There were concerts of "Superblues", "Wind In The Willows", "Lady Sings The Blues" and "Hollywood Swing" which featured many of the stars from Pete's life in music.
Pete's Fiftieth Birthday was celebrated with a big open-air bash in Switzerland in August 1992. Musicians from all Pete's bands and projects came together to play for a crowd of 8000.
On a TV Award show Pete's Sixties All Stars with Jon Lord, Spencer Davis, Eddie Hardin and Paul Jones had the celebrity audience dancing in the aisles with a medley of their hits.
The revival of interest in Sixties music led to more offers for the Spencer Davis Group and they played to 10,000 people at a festival in Scotland and 15,000 in Amsterdam.
The old hits like "Gimme Some Lovin'" were being used in Hollywood movies.
In August Pete took a five piece band into Europe's biggest Variety theatre in Berlin for a three month run.
There were more jazz gigs, more Spencer Davis gigs in 1994 but the highspots were concerts with Jon Lord and Orchestra.
By the following year this project was known as Jon Lord and the Gemini Band.
1995 was the debut year of the Pete York Big Band playing a programme of swing classics.
All the old Spencer Davis Group recordings were now available in a CD box set and, during a sell-out week in Birmingham, Steve and Muff Winwood both came along to hear the band.
The Birmingham International Jazz Festival invited Pete to play for a week and at the same time rehearse and premiere the Tribute to Gene Krupa "Drummin' Man" which Pete had devised.
Hardin & Yorks "Wind In The Willows" and "Pete York's Super Drumming", both filmed some years before, also appeared on DVD. These releases were a satisfying way for Pete to celebrate his 60th birthday in this year, as well his 25th wedding anniversary with Mecky.
In September Pete staged a sell-out concert with an all-star cast in Starnberg playing swing and R&B.
A trio with Helge Schneider and Jimmy Woode had already proved a success and Helge produced a film "Jazz Club" in which the trio played a central part. This would arrive in German cinemas in 2004.
In Spring 2005 Pete had a call from the manager of Eric Burdon. Although very busy with his New Animals touring band, Eric wanted to do a short tour of Greece with only piano and drums.
Christoph Steinebach, a young and spirited exponent of blues and boogie would play piano.
The music was right out of the youth of both Eric and Pete, the blues of Big Joe Turner and Jimmy Witherspoon, the rock of Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Drum Legends and their band played the first concerts to good audiences and excellent critics, most hailing the idea as original and exciting. They also took the whole show and a film crew to Gran Canaria where a concert was filmed for a DVD release.
The beautiful music arranged by Martin Schrack for the Swing concerts with the Kammerorchester Schloss Werneck was dusted off and brought to sparkling life again in Pete York's Swing & String Orchestra for a few concerts.
Pete got the call to join Helge Schneider on some big open-airs in Summer and as a result was asked to join the upcoming "Kampf Im Weltall" Tour.

The Mets' co-owner and brother-in-law to Fred Wilpon is reportedly interested in selling his share of the franchise.
The Mets' sloppy loss on Opening Day doesn't really matter. But the reason it doesn't matter matters very much.
Back in 1999, the Mets were almost bought by Cablevision. Would they be any worse off than they are today?
With the refinancing of the Mets' $250 million loan, owner Fred Wilpon could announce "an end to the payroll restrictions we totally never had."
The neighborhood around Citi Field will be getting a tremendous upgrade, as the "chop shops" will be torn up and replaced with commercial and residential space.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the 1993 Mets, a monstrous team that defined the franchise's course and reputation for the next two decades.
The Mets could have taken a stand by scheduling a Native American Heritage Day during a game against the Braves. As usual, they made exactly the wrong move instead.
The Mets almost brought on a new owner three years ago today.
Was Sandy Alderson telling the truth when he told Mets season ticket holders that the lack of spending on the team was his choice?
Thirty-three years ago today, Fred Wilpon — much vilified in recent years for the Mets' financial woes and subsequent lack of competitiveness — was being hailed as one of its saviors.

Say you're a beast whose castle is the ideal venue for hosting a Halloween masquerade. What would you wear? Here's a fabulous disguise inspired by the furry mammals that haunt the tower. Made of lightweight craft foam, this bat mask is designed to sit on your child's nose in perfect position for him to peer over the outstretched wings.
You'll need:
- Beastly Bat Mask template
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Black craft foam
- Glue dots
- 2 small faux gems (for eyes)
- Pushpin
- Thin black sewing elastic
- Print and cut out the template. Place it atop a piece of black craft foam and trace around all the edges except for the flip line. Then flip the template, keeping the center lined up, and trace around it again to create the second half of the bat. Cut out the tracing.
- Use pieces of a glue dot to stick the faux gems in place for the bat's eyes.
- With the pushpin, make a pair of small holes in the foam about 1 1/2 inches above the third wing tip from the left. Make a matching set of holes in the right wing.
- Thread the ends of an 18-inch length of black sewing elastic up from the underside of the foam through the holes closest to the center and back down through the nearby holes. Trim the elastic to fit your child's head (it should drape over the tops of his ears) and knot the ends to keep them from pulling back through the foam.

Backpacker Magazine – May 2008
We sent 209 readers out to GPS the Continental Divide Trail, the biggest, baddest long-distance path of them all. They brought back the makings of the first authoritative map of this American classic. These are their stories–and their favorite sections.
Rounded, tree-topped mountains that rise to 10,000 feet define this landscape, giving it a truly remote feel. Yet the forgiving elevation profile and well-maintained trail allowed the team to average 13 miles a day. The trek starts at Trailhead 17 and occasionally escapes the trees to skirt alpine plateaus and rocky knobs offering wide views over the valley below. "Some of those rocks were as big as houses," reports team leader Kevin Kondrat, who also spied elk and mountain lion tracks. By day four, after hiking 40 miles, you traverse swampy lowlands and stands of fluttering aspen. The final 10 miles (on day five) cross a broad meadow that drops gently to Trailhead 10.Beta backpacker.com/cdt/butte
Join the Cause
The Continental Divide Trail Alliance says $45 million is needed to survey and build the remaining 1,043 miles of trail. With aggressive fundraising and some federal aid, the CDTA hopes to complete it in five years. Here are three ways you can help make this path more accessible to other hikers:
1. Sign up for a weekend or weeklong CDT trail-building vacation at cdtrail.org.
2. Volunteer to help us map more sections at backpacker.com/cdt.
3. Become a CDTA member or send a check.
Are the GPS waypoints for New Mexico now available?
When will the data be available?
I love backpacker mag. But i seem to never see any articles on the American Discovery Trail.
Will the project be continued for the teams whose trips were cancelled due to wildfires last summer?
I was wondering about the southern terminus. When I left Tucson, there was talk about where the trail was to end near Organ Pipe and the Yuma area.
When will the maps be out for people to use?

We only ate the sushi and the meat used was in no stretch of the imagination sushi grade and was super stringy. Food was horrible and service wasn't great either. Don't get me wrong,... More
