LONDON, ENGLAND, March 14, 2013 (Press-News.org) With this year's St Patrick's Day falling on a Sunday, Londoners are given the perfect excuse to party for the entire weekend. The capital embraces the holiday with the official parade in Trafalgar Square, a number of Irish themed activities and a generous serving of Guinness and stew. Visitors arriving from outside London can conveniently book their accommodation on LondonTown.com, where a wide range of London hotels are available.
Born on 14th March 1933, Sir Michael Caine's 80th birthday will be celebrated in London with a photography exhibition at the Museum of London. Voted London's favourite Londoner in 2008, Caine is a prolific actor and this exhibition will explore how his background as a working-class Londoner influenced his path to stardom.
A further milestone to be regarded in London this weekend is the HMS Belfast's 75th anniversary. First launched in 1938, the floating military museum was originally a Royal Navy light cruiser and is a reminder of the role Royal Navy ships played during the Second World War. The capital will mark this monumental occasion by playing host to a series of special events and activities across the weekend.
It's a big weekend for art in the capital with the Chelsea Antiques Fair, a popular fixture on the Kings Road since 1950; the opening of the Tate Britain Commission, which sees Turner Prize winning artist Simon Starling create a major new project; and the return of RCA Secret, where Londoners are given the rare chance to pick up a piece of genuine art for a mere GBP45. The art of film is also showcased at the BFI's Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, which returns for its 27th year with its largest programme ever. As well as over 100 films, the festival will incorporate a number of parties and events, including a nod to man of the moment and gay icon David Bowie with a special screening and party on the opening day of the V&A Museum's exhibition, David Bowie Is.
Two new pop-ups open in London this weekend, the first being a ten-day Secret Emporium takeover at the Shoreditch Boxpark. With the company known for working with original labels and indie designers, shoppers can expect a plethora of unique pieces at this fashionable event. The second is an event that indulges on the winning formula of ping pong, booze and food. Taking place at a disused pub in Kensington, Pop Up Ping Pong will serve an evening of unlimited ping pong, cheap drinks and tempting mini burgers courtesy of renowned burgers on bikes company, #BRGR.
Those with children should head to The Little Angel Theatre where their new festival FIRSTS is being launched. Running for two weeks, the festival is a celebration of puppetry and premieres a number of shows from emerging companies.

Recovery in motion
2013-03-13
A new study has found a link between the activity levels of elderly people who have just been released from the hospital and the risk that they will require readmission within 30 days.
The investigation draws on data collected from 111 patients aged 65 and older, each of whom was fitted with a "step activity monitor" during his or her hospital stay. Worn on the patient's ankle, the pager-sized device counted every step the person took during hospitalization and for a week after discharge.
"We're using activity here as a biomarker, similar to the way you might use blood ...
Current HIV screening guidelines are too conservative
2013-03-13
Early HIV treatment can save lives as well as have profound prevention benefits. But those infected with the virus first must be identified before they can be helped.
In a new study, two Northwestern University researchers report that current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) HIV screening guidelines are too conservative and that more frequent testing would be cost-effective in the long run for both high- and low-risk groups.
The Northwestern team performed a mathematical modeling study to assess "optimal testing frequencies" for HIV screening in different ...
