Born in Berlin in 1899, Anni Albers was one of the most influential textile artists and printmakers of the twentieth century, with a career which spanned almost eight decades. In both her textiles and prints, she explored concerns such as pattern, line, texture and colour, combining ancient craft techniques with the language of modern art.
Albers joined the famous Bauhaus school of art and design in 1922. Refused entry to the Painting Workshop on the grounds of her gender, she turned to textiles, then deemed 'women's work'. In 1933, she and her husband Josef Albers emigrated to the USA and a year later began to teach at the experimental art school, Black Mountain College. In 1949 Albers became the first textile artist to have a solo show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
From 1974 onwards, printmaking became Albers' primary means of artistic expression. She experimented with various printing techniques such as lithography, screen-printing, photo-offset, embossing and etching. The vibrant abstract print, TR III, shows Albers' interest in colour and texture. The rows of triangles create a striking visual effect, which reveals the influence of the pre-Columbian textiles and artefacts which Albers admired and collected.

Baltimore has a little less competition in its quest to bring the Volvo Ocean Race, Round the World back to the Inner Harbor -- and possibly Annapolis -- as Boston, New York and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., are no longer under consideration.
When the world's top racing yachts circle the globe in 2001 and 2002, they will stop at two U.S. ports, and Baltimore is left to vie with Newport, R.I.; Charleston, S.C.; and Miami, according to race organizers.
In 1998, the race stopped at Fort Lauderdale before coming to Baltimore. It also stopped in Fort Lauderdale in 1994.
"We're very encouraged with the negotiations thus far," said Gregory Barnhill, president of Volvo Ocean Race Chesapeake Inc. and a managing director at BT Alex. Brown Inc. "We're still on the short list. I think our chances are good, but we're not assuming anything at this point."
Barnhill and another local organizer recently traveled to London to meet with Volvo officials.
"We're in discussions right now with Volvo," Barnhill said. "We're discussing the timing platform and details if they were to come here."
An announcement is expected about the same time as the Baltimore Waterfront Festival, April 29 to May 2.
Should Baltimore-Annapolis be selected to play host to the sailing race, the plan locally would be to hold the event as it was in 1998, incorporating the annual festival. Last year, the festival drew more than 400,000 people over seven days. This year, promoters hope to attract 100,000 to the shorter, four-day event.
This year's events will include yacht racing and exhibitions, a display of Olympic-class sailboats, canoes and kayaks, and the chance to meet aspiring Olympians. Also among the attractions planned are sailing adventure films, sailing art and harbor tours.
The Volvo Ocean Race, known as the Whitbread Round the World Race until Volvo took it over in June, has announced only the starting port -- Southampton, England, in September 2001.
All the remaining ports will be named by the end of June, according to Lizzie Green, press officer for Volvo Ocean Race, whose office is near Southampton.
Late last year, a source close to the race said it was unlikely that the double venue stop in Baltimore and Annapolis would occur again, noting that the two stops so close together proved tiring and costly for racers. The boats spent seven days in Baltimore before moving to Annapolis for three days last spring.
Each syndicate spent tens of thousands of dollars in logistical costs -- for such things as moving supplies and equipment -- to make the second stop in Annapolis. Baltimore's Inner Harbor would be the preferred location because of its ability to handle crowds and because of the expected media attention, one official said.
But Green said it was too early to say definitively how the double venue issue would play out. And, in her opinion, it was not an impossible scenario.
"I think if the Baltimore area is chosen, there will be some involvement with Annapolis as well as Baltimore," Green said. "I don't think you can separate the two."
Local organizers apparently are presenting their bid -- to be submitted in mid-March -- as a dual-city stopover.
Will that hurt the area's chances, if two stops are more costly than one?
"No, I don't think so," Green said. "We all know that Baltimore was an incredibly successful stopover."
The racing yachts that sailed up the Chesapeake Bay in April brought $26.5 million to the state, according to an independent economic-impact study commissioned by Volvo and done by the British firm Sports Marketing Surveys, a marketing research firm specializing in event analysis.
The amount was not far off local officials' prediction of more than $28 million in economic impact.

A New Hampshire man is facing child endangerment and drug charges after allegedly allowing a 1-year-old boy in his care to be exposed to fentanyl and cocaine in September.
Nashua resident Charles Daye, 25, was arrested and charged Wednesday with second degree assault, endangering the welfare of a child and reckless conduct, according to Nashua police.
Authorities say their investigation began in early September, when officers responded to a local hospital for a child having an unknown medical issue. Police say investigators were able to determine that the 1-year-old boy had been exposed to cocaine and fentanyl.
Daye was arrested without incident following an investigation. It's not clear how Daye is connected to the child.
Daye was also charged with drug possession and falsifying physical evidence in connection with an unrelated incident in October.
Police say they arrested Daye on a warrant out of the Hillsborough County Superior Court-South for not appearing in court after he allegedly tried to swallow a bag containing an illicit drug.
Daye was held on $100,000 pending his arraignment on Thursday. It's not clear if he has an attorney.
Police say the child who had been exposed to drugs is doing well and is expected to make a full recovery.

Don't let a stumble destroy all your hard work. The best advice for staying stopped is not to smoke at all after quitting; however things don't always go exactly how we plan. If you do have a cigarette, see it as a slip, it doesn't have to mean that you're a smoker again. Don't feel a failure, if you do, you may start smoking again.
Get back on the non-smoking track straight away. If you're determined to stop smoking, you CAN and WILL succeed.
If you have any cigarettes left, throw them away-you don't need them!
Ask yourself what caused the slip up. Could you have done anything differently to prevent the slip up? How could you handle the situation or event differently in the future? Are you using your stop smoking products as recommended?
Get some support and words of encouragement from Yorkshire Smokefree 0800 612 0011 (free from landlines), 0330 660 1166 (free from mobiles).
Congratulate yourself for what you have achieved so far! Plan a treat for getting through the next 7 days not smoking.
If you feel that you can't salvage your quit attempt despite following the advice above, don't be too hard on yourself. For most people it takes more than one quit attempt to go on and quit for good.
Think of all the positives, how long you managed to quit for, the benefits you felt as a non-smoker. Identify what went well during quitting, and what you would do differently next time.
If your home was completely smoke free whilst you were quitting, keep it that way. Smoke outside and ask any other smokers who live with you or visit your home to do the same. This will help when you quit again as well as protecting others from the harms of second hand smoke.
If you feel embarrassed that you're back smoking, don't be. See it as a stepping stone to your end goal of being a non-smoker.
If you used our service before, please contact us again when you feel ready to quit. If you haven't used Yorkshire Smokefree before, why not give us a try? Call us on 0800 612 0011 (free from landlines), 0330 660 1166 (free from mobiles).


PERSPECTIVES ON IMMIGRATION : The Issue Is Overpopulation : At present growth rates, including fertility, the U.S. population will double in the next century.
LEON F. BOUVIER Lindsey Grant and Leon F. Bouvier are the co-authors of "How Many Americans? Population, Immigration and the Environment" (Sierra Club Books, 1994).
Given recent budgetary problems, it may be difficult to convince Californians that the drain on public services is not the principal issue in determining how much immigration we can afford. In the long run, the impact on population growth will be the most lasting legacy of our current immigration policies.
Largely as a result of immigration, the United States now has the fastest-growing population in the developed world, while immigration-driven population growth in California rivals that of some Third World countries. Population growth comes at great cost that cannot always be measured in dollars and cents.
First, we must realize that the human race is a part of the natural ecosystem of the Earth, not a privileged super-species that can transcend the laws of nature. The United States, because of its size and consumption habits, is the most destabilizing entity within Earth's fragile ecosystem. Population growth here has a far more profound impact on that ecosystem than growth elsewhere.
The disturbances caused by human activities have accelerated dramatically in the past half a century. Driven by population growth and the technological explosion, these disturbances threaten not only the perpetuation of a way of life we have come to take for granted, but even the continuation of life systems as we understand them.
The good news is that the means for controlling and reversing these terrible forces are within our power. What we require, as a society, is the wisdom and understanding to employ them.
The United States grew from a nation of 76 million in 1900 to 249 million in 1990 (and to an estimated 260 million in 1994). Forty-three percent of that growth consisted of post-1900 immigrants and their descendants. Present immigration and fertility patterns place us on the path to a population of 397 million by 2050 and 492 million in 2100. More than 90% of that growth will be a direct result of post-2000 immigration.
In other words, our immigration policies place us in a league with the ruinous population growth patterns of countries like India and Bangladesh. Moreover, our growth is far more destructive because of our style of living. Continued high levels of consumption combined with Third World-like population growth is a prescription for disaster.
We find the idea of another doubling of U.S. population thoroughly frightening. Consider the impact on many of the nation's current problems: urban decay and unemployment; energy dependence, nuclear waste and sewage disposal; loss of biodiversity and resistance of agricultural pests and diseases to pesticides and medicines; acid rain, climate change, depletion of water resources, topsoil erosion, loss of agricultural lands and destruction of forests, wetlands and fisheries, to name just some.
Nevertheless, there is the possibility of light at the end of the tunnel. We could bring population growth to a halt in the next century and even turn it around. First, fertility would have to fall gradually from current levels of 2 children per woman to an average of 1.5. But even that would not be enough to achieve population stabilization in the United States. Without substantial reductions in immigration, to perhaps 200,000 annually, our population still would reach 337 million by 2050.
A return of immigration to the levels that prevailed through the middle of this century will not happen by itself. We must persuade our national leaders that, while the problems of Haitian boat people and other would-be immigrants are heart-rending and real, they cannot be solved by sacrificing our own future. The United States has an obligation to its own people and descendants, one that cannot be served by allowing the population to swell to half a billion.
A commitment to our own future does not mean ignoring the problems of the rest of the world. Many developing countries are caught in a population explosion, and the United States should make family-planning assistance the first priority in foreign aid. No amount of aid will have much significance unless population growth is curbed as well.
Our primary obligation is to our own future and our primary responsibility is to control our own consumption and population growth. Our national policy goal should be to avoid adding to the annual load of pollution and environmental damage, and then to reduce it. That can happen only if we lower our fertility rate and our immigration level.

Prince Harry and Meghan attend Field of Remembrance – Camilla cancels due to chest infection
by Victoria Howard Thu 07 November, 2019
Amongst a sea of poppies and veterans, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey today, to pay their respects ahead of Remembrance Sunday. The Duchess of Cornwall was due to join them, but she pulled out of the engagement this morning due to a chest infection.
Prince Harry has been a regular at the event for seven years; of course, the Duke served two tours of Afghanistan and lost friends and comrades in the conflict.
This year was a first for Meghan, however, who chose a navy and blue outfit for the occasion, while her husband was in his Blues and Royals frock coat.

The Duchess of Cornwall is resting up at home today; a statement from Clarence House said earlier this morning: "The Duchess of Cornwall has been told by her doctor to cancel her engagements owing to a chest infection which has got progressively worse over the last few days."
Camilla did not attend a dinner at the London Library last night because of the infection, and is now taking doctor's advice to rest. She 'is deeply disappointed' at being unable to go today, as patron of the Poppy Factory, where the traditional paper poppies are made and the organisers of the Field of Remembrance.
She 'is determined to do everything she can to be well enough for the major events of the coming weekend'. The Duchess usually stands on the Foreign Office balcony with The Duchess of Cambridge and, in more recent years, The Queen for the event at the Cenotaph.
Back at the Abbey, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex viewed the plots of poppy crosses position by regiments, military units and organisations associated with the First World War and the conflicts since.
The Field of Remembrance has been organised since November 1928, when only two Remembrance tribute crosses were planted. Today, approximately 70,000 crosses are produced by the factory team each year and planted at the abbey, on more than 360 plots.

Prince Harry laid his cross first, followed by Meghan. Surgeon Rear Admiral Lionel Jarvis, president of the Poppy Factory, also planted a cross on behalf of The Duchess of Cornwall.
The Last Post was then played and Big Ben rang out to mark 11am; a two-minute silence came after the Exhortation to Remembrance was spoken by Jarvis: "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
"At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them."

The Sussexes then spent time speaking with those at the Field, many of whom are veterans or family of those who paid the ultimate price in the theatre of war.
Today marks the official opening of the Field of Remembrance, and it will stay open for a further 10 days.
We can expect to see the royal couple at the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday night, as well as Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph with the extended Royal Family.

When you use an Apple iMac computer as your desktop system, you can burn and copy DVDs through Mac OS X without the need for third-party software. The media you choose and the drive on which you burn them depend on the iMac model you use. Recent iMac systems feature slimline casework that doesn't include room for an internal optical drive, so you may need a separate external drive to accomplish your disc-burning task.
As of late 2012, the Apple iMac product line consists of 21.5-inch and 27-inch models that don't include internal optical drives. To burn DVDs on these iMacs, you'll need a compatible external drive that's attached directly to the computer, not a networked device. The Apple USB SuperDrive provides this functionality, including support for DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, and DVD-RW discs, along with CD media. DL discs use two layers to hold up to 8.5 GB of data and require drives new enough to support the format. Erasable, reusable DVD-RW media may not be compatible with all optical drives and with optical readers in devices other than computers. For optimal media compatibility, use DVD-R media, the most common form of the 4.7 GB version of these discs. If you select an external mechanism from another manufacturer, verify that it can write to the type of DVD media you want to burn.
When you insert a blank recordable DVD in your iMac's internal or external optical drive, the disc mounts to your desktop just like any form of writable media. You can change the default anonymous name of the disc by selecting it on the desktop, pressing "Return" and typing in the text you want. You also can press "Command-i" to open a Get Info window in which you can edit the disc's title. To add files to it, drag and drop them on the disc icon or copy them from locations on your hard drive, double-click on the disc icon to open it and paste in the files. The Mac OS X Finder doesn't move your original items. Instead, it adds aliases, pointers to the real files and folders, saving disc space and avoiding the redundancy of duplicate files. Once you add all the items you want the disc to contain, open the "File" menu and choose the "Burn" command, which will show your DVD's name after the command name.
A burn folder gives you a place to put files before you're ready to burn them to a DVD. When you drag or paste files and folders into a burn folder, the Finder adds aliases, just as it does when you add items to a blank DVD. To create a burn folder, open the "File" menu and choose "Burn Folder" from the "New" submenu. The name you give the folder becomes the title of the DVD you burn from it. If you insert a blank DVD and add files and folders to it but eject the disc without burning it, Mac OS X creates a burn folder on the desktop that contains the items you planned to include. When you're ready to burn a DVD from a burn folder, double-click on it to open it and choose the "Burn" command from the "File" menu. You can burn multiple DVD copies from the same burn folder.
If you've burned a DVD and need another copy of it but don't have a burn folder that represents its contents, you can use the Disk Utility application that's included in the Mac OS X Utilities folder. After you launch Disk Utility, insert the DVD in your optical drive and make a disk image from it. Once you save it, this image exists as a file on your hard drive, one you can use to burn a duplicate of the original DVD. To do so, choose the image file from the list of disks in Disk Utility, insert a blank DVD and burn the file to it.
Information in this article applies to Mac OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion. It may differ slightly or significantly with other versions.

Background Musculoskeletal complications of Down syndrome (DS) are common but infrequently reported. The combination of ligamentous laxity and low muscle tone contributes to increased risk of a number of musculoskeletal disorders and a delay in acquisition of motor milestones. The primary aim of this study was to describe musculoskeletal anomalies reported in a national cohort of children with DS.
Methods This was an observational study. Children with DS, aged 0–21 years, were invited to attend a musculoskeletal assessment clinic conducted by a paediatric physician. Relevant musculoskeletal history and clinical findings were documented.
Results Over an 18-month period, 503 children with DS were examined (56% male). The median age was 8.1 years (0.6–19.2). Pes planus was almost universal, occurring in 91% of the cohort. A range of other musculoskeletal anomalies were observed, with inflammatory arthritis (7%) and scoliosis (4.8%) occurring most frequently after pes planus. Delay in ambulation was common; the median age to walk was 28 months (12–84).
Conclusion Children with DS are at increased risk of a number of potentially debilitating musculoskeletal problems. These conditions can present in variable manners or be completely asymptomatic. Pes planus is common; therefore, early consideration of orthotics and lifelong appropriate supportive footwear should be considered. Delayed ambulation is frequently noted. A significant proportion of children with DS have arthritis; however, despite a high prevalence, it is often missed, leading to delayed diagnosis. An annual musculoskeletal assessment for all children with DS could potentially enable early detection of problems, allowing for timely multidisciplinary team intervention and better clinical outcomes.
comm child health
What is already known on this topic?
Joint laxity is almost universal in children with Down syndrome.
Hypotonia is a well-described feature of Down syndrome.
Children with Down syndrome are at increased risk of a number of musculoskeletal disorders.
What this study adds?
Foot, spinal and hip pathologies are likely underestimated.
Children with Down syndrome are at increased risk of inflammatory arthritis, which if undetected and untreated can lead to permanent joint damage and disability.
Musculoskeletal assessment should be part of the normal annual health surveillance programme for all children with Down syndrome.
Down syndrome (DS) is a chromosomal disorder caused by full trisomy 21 (94%), mosaicism (2.4%) or translocations (3.3%). Ireland has an estimated incidence of 1 per 546 live births per year, the highest in Europe.1 The worldwide incidence is 1 per 1000–1100.2
Joint laxity, which may be associated with delayed ambulation, is thought to be almost universal in children with DS. This, combined with hypotonia, also a well-described feature of DS, has significant and widespread functional impact, and contributes to increased risk of a number of musculoskeletal disorders, a delay in acquisition of motor milestones and lower levels of physical activity in children with DS.3–6
Medical management guidelines recommending scheduled health checks for children with DS include screening of growth, heart, thyroid, sight and hearing (figure 1).7 These guidelines have been reviewed and approved by national interest groups in Ireland and the UK (Down Syndrome Medical Interest Group (DSMIG)).

There remains a paucity of data with regard to the musculoskeletal features of DS, with inconsistent and variable recommendations for clinicians on appropriate screening and management of musculoskeletal anomalies. There appears to be a disproportionate focus on cervical spine (C-spine) instability, with little if any detail on other musculoskeletal conditions that occur more frequently in children with DS.
To describe musculoskeletal anomalies reported in a national cohort of children with DS.
To document the presence or absence of hypermobility in DS.
Study design and methods
This was an observational study carried out over an 18-month period.
The target population was children aged 0–21 years with DS living in Ireland. Using EUROCAT (European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies) data,8 this was estimated to be 1652 children. The target population was sourced with the help of DS Ireland (1300 children registered with their service met the target population criteria). Other avenues used to source participants were general paediatric, specialist and developmental clinics attended by children with DS in the largest children's hospital in Ireland, Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin; through liaison with the Chartered Physiotherapists in Intellectual Disability of Ireland; and by enrolment of the study in the Irish Paediatric Surveillance Unit. Children with DS were invited to attend local musculoskeletal screening clinics.
Sampling frame
Convenience sampling was used for the purpose of this study. Awareness and information about the study were made available to as many as possible of the target population through the avenues outlined above. Information for this report was gathered as a secondary outcome from a larger study where the primary objective was to identify inflammatory arthritis in children with DS.
Study assessments
Screening assessments took place nationally. At these clinics a comprehensive history was ascertained and a musculoskeletal examination performed by a paediatric doctor (PD). Hypermobile joints were assessed using the 9-point Beighton Hypermobility Score.9 There is no universal agreement on a paediatric threshold for joint hypermobility. For the purpose of this study, hypermobility was defined as a Beighton score ≥4.9 10 Concerns regarding joint inflammation and/or new musculoskeletal findings were further assessed at a second clinic. This was attended by the PD and a second examiner, a consultant paediatric rheumatologist (PR). Orthopaedic expertise was requested as required.
All children with DS aged 0–21 years who responded to the invite to attend a local musculoskeletal screening clinic were assessed and included in the study. Information on musculoskeletal anomalies in children with DS was gathered from the reported medical history. Any child with a musculoskeletal anomaly detected through musculoskeletal examination at a screening clinic was further assessed by the supervising PR to confirm the initial findings. If uncertainty persisted, appropriate imaging was requested, and if required referrals to other specialties were made.
Non-responders or those aged over 21 years at the time the condition occurred were excluded.
Over an 18-month period, 503 children with DS were examined, 56% were male, with a median age of 8.1 years (0.6–19.2). Prenatal diagnosis of DS occurred in 10%; 15% were born preterm. The genotype of the cohort included 92% full trisomy 21, 5% mosaicism, 1% Robertsonian translocation, and 2% of parents were unsure, presumed full trisomy 21.
Musculoskeletal anomalies and DS
The almost universal finding in our cohort was pes planus (91%) (figure 2A). This was recorded in children who demonstrated loss of the medial longitudinal arch of their foot. Twenty-four per cent of these children did not avail of orthoses. Figure 2B reflects the wide range of other musculoskeletal anomalies identified.

(B) Range of other musculoskeletal anomalies reported in our cohort. SUFE, slipped upper femoral epiphysis. IP, interphalangeal.
Inflammatory arthritis was diagnosed in 7% of children assessed, confirmed following examination by both the PD and PR. Scoliosis, confirmed clinically or radiologically, occurred in 4.8%. Other spinal abnormalities identified included C-spine instability (1%), spondylolisthesis (0.5%) and absent C2 vertebra (0.3%). Hip pathologies reported included dislocation and subluxation (1.5%), Perthes disease (0.8%), slipped upper femoral epiphysis (0.5%) and dysplasia (0.5%).
Ambulation and DS
The median age the cohort walked was 28 months (12–84 months).
Hypermobility, Beighton score and DS
The average Beighton score for the cohort was 4; the average score of adolescents (defined as children >12 years; 27% of cohort) was 2 (0–6), significantly lower than that recorded for children, 4 (0–9) (p<0.001). Just over half (59%) of those examined scored ≥4, with 2% scoring the maximum of 9 points (figure 3A). Using the Beighton scoring system, the criteria that scored most often (figure 3B) were hyperextensibility of the little finger metacarpophalangeal joint (70% scored 1 or 2 for this criterion) and the thumb to forearm manoeuvre (53% scored 1 or 2 for this criterion). Notably, a high proportion of children had hypermobility of the hips and ankles (defined as greater than expected range of movement for age 11), joints not accounted for using the Beighton criteria.

Musculoskeletal complications of DS
Hypotonia is well described in children with DS and is usually related to the skeletal muscles. Type VI collagen is crucial for skeletal muscles. Collagen α1 (VI) and α2 (VI) chains are encoded by genes located on chromosome 21 and are expected to have higher dosage in individuals with DS.12 The combination of ligamentous laxity and low muscle tone contributes to an increased risk of a number of musculoskeletal disorders, such as C-spine instability, hip instability, scoliosis and foot problems.3 4
A delay in acquisition of motor milestones and lower levels of physical activity in children with DS have been observed.5 Reduced physical activity contributes to the development of lower bone mass, obesity, and a failure to develop or maintain maximum possible muscle strength.13 14 Inappropriately low expectations of physical activity and motor function from family, healthcare workers and self feed into this cycle. Conversely, however, overattributing motor difficulties to low tone and hypermobility may lead to missed pathology and misdiagnoses.15 16
The foot and DS
Pes planus (figure 2A) is common and was almost universal in our cohort (91%). Young people with pes planus and incorrect footwear are at risk of callus formation over pressure points, repetitive ligamentous injury and development of bone spurs.6 17–21 Inability of the calcaneus to come out of eversion (figure 3A) leads to hindfoot valgus, resulting in multiple postural changes. This almost certainly contributes to inability of many children with DS to sustain good strength when they stand or build good core musculature. Digital deformities also occur, such as hallux valgus.
Expertise of a paediatric podiatrist should be acquired routinely to allow for timely detection and management of foot deformities. Podiatric interventions and good footwear will help to encourage a more 'normal' foot posture, in turn improving posture and quality of life, which are underestimated and neglected.22 23 In severe cases, orthopaedic review and surgical intervention may be required.
The spine and DS
C-spine instability is a well-described orthopaedic condition associated with DS. It involves either the occiput-C1 level (atlanto-occipital instability) or the C1–C2 level (atlantoaxial instability).
C-spine instability on plain film was present in 1% of our cohort. This is significantly lower than previous studies that estimate 10%–27% of individuals with DS may have radiological findings of instability. However, most are asymptomatic, with only 1%–2% developing symptomatic instability.24–28
Low correlation between radiological findings and symptoms emphasises the need for a high index of suspicion if symptoms develop. Commonly, the signs and symptoms of symptomatic C-spine instability progress over time and include neck pain, abnormal head posture, torticollis, reduced neck movements, deterioration of gait and/or frequent falls, increasing fatigability on walking or deterioration of manipulative skills. In the presence of any of the above, appropriate history, examination and investigation should be undertaken. Complications from spinal cord compression can worsen suddenly. While serious complications are rare, death can occur.24
A review of the recommendations for C-spine screening reminds us there have been years of controversy and discussion. Currently there is no screening procedure that can predict those at risk. In particular C-spine X-rays in children have no predictive validity for subsequent acute dislocation/subluxation at the atlantoaxial joint.25–29 In an attempt to reduce morbidity and mortality from C-spine instability, the DSMIG developed a basic surveillance essential for people with DS. They suggest that routine radiological screening for asymptomatic people with DS is not recommended. Asymptomatic individuals with DS should not be barred from normal sporting activities because there is no evidence that participation in sports increases the risk of C-spine injury any more than for the general population.30 31 For specialised sport, such as gymnastics, children with DS should not be automatically excluded, but the requirements of national governing bodies which include a clinical screening protocol should be observed.32
Assessment for scoliosis should be routine and ongoing in all children with DS. Our study identified that just under 5% had either clinical or radiological evidence of scoliosis. Vigilance is required in particular for those that may be at risk of thoracic curves secondary to early thoracotomies from congenital heart surgery. Spondylolisthesis may also occur and present with the classic symptoms of low back pain and radiculopathy.
The hip and DS
Hip instability in DS is common, with incidence reported to be between 1% and 7%. The natural history is often progressive, with the typical onset of hypermobility of the hip evolving to habitual dislocation, persistent subluxation and fixed dislocation. Without appropriate intervention this can eventually lead to loss of independent mobility.33 Our study identified that 1.5% had hip dislocation or subluxation.
Radiographic studies demonstrate that, in comparison with a normal acetabulum, the acetabulum of an individual with DS is deep, more horizontally placed and has increased anteversion, while the proximal femur has a normal neck-shaft angle and a moderate increase in anteversion.34 This in association with generalised hypotonia likely increases the risk of hip abnormalities in DS.
The most common presenting sign for hip pathology is a limp, which may often be painless. Hip X-rays should therefore always be performed in a child with DS presenting with a limp.
The knee and DS
Patella instability has been reported to occur in DS to varying degrees (1.5% in our cohort), from mild subluxation to complete dislocation. Altered gait may be a sign of patella instability and a decreased range of motion of the knee may be noted. Orthoses or even corrective surgery may be required.
Inflammatory arthritis and DS
Children with DS are at increased risk of developing inflammatory arthritis. In 1984, Yancey et al 35 were the first to describe seven children with DS having a juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)-like arthropathy, classified as having 'Arthropathy of DS' (A-DS). There are no published population surveys establishing the prevalence and incidence rates of A-DS, but crude estimates suggest the incidence is threefold greater than JIA. Prevalence has been estimated to be 8.7 per 1000.16 36 In our cohort, the prevalence (20 per 1000) is significantly greater than previously reported. Despite higher incidence and prevalence rates, A-DS is often under-reported and/or misdiagnosed. A polyarticular pattern of disease, with predominance in the wrists and small joints of the hands, is most commonly seen (figure 4).
Arthropathy of Down syndrome (A–DS). Child with A-DS demonstrating the 'prayer sign'. Highlights restriction in wrist extension secondary to inflammatory arthritis. Also note the swelling of the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints bilaterally.
The average time to diagnosis of A-DS in our cohort was 1.7 years (0.2–4.9), significantly longer than reports for JIA.37 As a result of delayed diagnosis and therefore delayed instigation of appropriate treatment, children with A-DS are presenting with significant joint damage and disability at diagnosis. Bone erosions were evident on X-ray in 42% of our cohort at diagnosis, significantly higher than observed in a JIA comparison group (erosions 14%, p<0.0001).
Reasons for delayed diagnosis are multifactorial, including poor verbal skills and altered pain expression. It has been reported that children with DS express pain more slowly and less precisely than a child without DS.38 Children with A-DS often adapt to pain with reported observations such as slowing mobility, reluctance to hold a parental hand or behavioural change. When assessing a child with DS, careful consideration of possible interpretations of the history and a thorough clinical examination will aid correct and timely diagnosis of A-DS. Signs and symptoms can be subtle, so a high index of suspicion should be employed. MRI with gadolinium contrast may be required if there is clinical uncertainty.
Significantly delayed ambulation is noted in children with DS. Our results with regard to acquisition of walking unaided are comparable with the literature that reports children with DS walk at 23 months (13–48), compared with 13 months (9–17) for the general paediatric population.39 Early multidisciplinary team intervention is important to ensure these children obtain their full potential with regard to acquisition of walking unaided.
In our cohort of children with DS, Beighton scores appear to underestimate the level of hypermobility observed during clinical examination. In fact, in our cohort, adolescents (ie, age >12 years) were not hypermobile (average Beighton score of 2), and children only barely in the hypermobile range, using the Beighton scoring system. We observed a high proportion of children had other joints that extended beyond the normal range of motion, in particular hips, ankles and small joints. There is a mismatch of the scored joints using the Beighton system and those most likely to be hypermobile in DS (figure 5). The Beighton score also fails to identify the severity of hypermobility characteristic in these children. A condition-specific hypermobility scoring system would address these issues.
(A) Joints included in the Beighton Hypermobility Score. (B) Most frequently hypermobile joints within the study cohort of children with Down syndrome.
Musculoskeletal anomalies in DS are common and underestimated. In particular, there is a significant risk of inflammatory arthritis. We estimate that the prevalence of A-DS is 20 per 1000, with a phenotype much more erosive and aggressive than previously described. This observational study highlights the importance of regular musculoskeletal screening to allow timely detection and management of these treatable conditions. We advocate that children with DS have an annual musculoskeletal assessment as part of their health surveillance programme.
The limitation of this study design is that the musculoskeletal evaluation of children was primarily to assess whether there was evidence of inflammatory arthritis. Information on a significant number of the musculoskeletal anomalies was gathered from the medical history only; therefore, occurrence of some conditions might in fact be underestimated. Due to the sampling frame employed, bias may be introduced into the results as parents with musculoskeletal concerns may have been more inclined to accept the invite to attend for assessment.

Q: jUI TimePicker and MySQL DATETIME column I'm using the Martin Milesich TimePicker, which is basically the jUI datepicker with hour/minute sliders attached to it.
I have a couple of queries regarding this:
1) I'm storing the data in a database field of type DATETIME - as you're probably aware the default format for this field is 2010-07-19 14:00:00. In my form field however I am displaying the date/time in a more friendly way, i.e. 19/07/2010 14:00 (uk format). So how can I convert my friendly format into the MySQL format after posting the form?
2) Optionally, is it possible for the time portion to be inputted in to its own field? I looked in the timepicker.js file and noticed a setting 'altTimeField' - which it says is a 'Selector for an alternate field to store time into' but so far I have not been able to get this to work.
Thanks.

A: $mydatetime=date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($mydatetime));

When I was a little girl, I dreamed of becoming a lot of things when I grew up and a Rockette was one of them. I have always had long legs (I'm 5'10") and I remember my Aunts always telling me I had the legs of a dancer. While I was born with the legs, god didn't grant me any rhythm and I am clumsy instead of graceful, so that dream went out the window pretty fast. In 2012, I had the opportunity to do an excessive training session on stage at Radio City Music Hall with the Rockette's and that went out the window too (I can say I got sick inside of the Radio City's Basement though).
While I have been to NYC more than 20 times, I have never seen the Radio City Christmas Spectacular with the Rockette's. My Mom and two of my Best Friends saw them at Radio City Music Hall and I have heard nothing but amazing things about this show. When I saw that the Rockette's were bringing their show to the Straz Center in Tampa, I squealed with delight and made it my goal that we would go this year. I then got the very lucky opportunity to attend Christmas Spectacular thanks to the Tampa Bay Bloggers group.
I should also mention that this was Gabe and my first time attending a show at the Straz Center. When we first moved to Tampa 2 1/2 years ago, we discussed buying a membership there since we live so close to it. With our crazy schedules, that never happened. We sat in Mezzanine 3 and were both very impressed with the performing art center. It didn't look like there was a bad seat in the house. We will be back for sure.
The entire show was amazing and I did tear up a few times. I had multiple favorite parts of the show but the most anticipated part for me was the toy soldier scene. I found a video of the routine which I posted below but I must say, seeing this in person was jaw dropping. The Rockette's are so amazingly talented and the precision of this scene made them shine. I kept tapping Gabe on the shoulder telling him, "these girls are so talented!" and "do you realize how hard that is?!"
Seeing the Rockette's put me into the Holiday Spirit. Not that I am being a grinch this year but I am having a very hard time realizing Christmas is only a few days around the corner. I blame it on the FL heat and the short amount of time between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The Rockette's will be at the Straz Center through December 29th with shows nearly everyday. Click here for the full schedule.
Have you seen the Radio City Christmas Spectacular with the Rockette's? If so, what was your favorite part?
We saw them at Radio City last year for the 1st time! The Wooden Soldiers is definitely my favorite. I watched a special about their training and it is INTENSE!

OAK CHIPS are small wood chips designed principally to give life to your barbecue and allow you to experience fantastic flavours in your grilled food.
OAK CHIPS infuse and intensify the flavours and aromas of the wine ageing process creating surprising results for the palate.
Product: French, American and European oak wood used in the production of wines.
Composition: Oak wood chips impregnated with red wine.
1. Choose the necessary amount of Chips to use. (We recommend 360 g per group of 6 people).
2. Leave the chips to soak for 30-60 minutes.
3. Drain the water (you can also use wine) still present on the chips.
4. Drill abundantly the tray base to facilitate vaporization of the product.
5. When the charcoal or wood is properly lit and at the right temperature, place the soaked chips in their aluminium tray on top of the charcoal. If you are using a gas barbecue place the tray over the heat.
6. If your barbecue has a lid we recommend closing this so that the meat is well smoked with the aroma of the wine-soaked wood.
