At the start of the school year, James Mascia's sixth-period senior English class had no idea what it was getting into.
Before he even knew who they were, or if they were up to the challenge, Mascia signed them up to participate in Text Alive, a program offered through the Shakespeare Theatre Company education department.
The students would be called on to memorize an act from a Shakespeare play — some would be actors and others would be crew members and make costumes, set pieces and work on sound design.
They would have to pitch the setting and time their scene would be placed and vote on the best one that represents the class's understanding of the play's theme.
Faced with the assignment, the students weren't buying it.
"They didn't believe me," Mascia said.
"He's usually sarcastic," said Asja Bard, 18, one of the actresses who plays Isabella. "I thought he was joking."
"Whoa," Desi Wiseman, 17, who will split the role of Angelo with Trevor Pascal, remembered thinking. "It was surprising."
"But exciting," Asja said.
"Yeah, then we got excited," Desi said.
They wouldn't be on their own.
Vanessa Buono Hope, a 1997 Westlake graduate and school programs manager with the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C., stops by once a week to lead workshops and help the actors, almost all without drama training, suss out the scene, work on character nuances and show them tricks of the trade.
Those not on stage are part of the crew, and she works with them, too.
The Westlake students will stage Act 2, Scenes 1 and 2 of "Measure for Measure," while classes from other metropolitan-area schools take on other scenes, performing the entire play Dec. 14 at Sidney Harman Hall in the District.
Each scene will have a different theme based on the ones pitched by each class.
The Westlake group set its scenes during Woodstock in 1969.
Bringing to life its concept from the theme statement, "Human sexuality is compulsive and uncontrollable," they choose a time in America's history when race and gender equality were pushing forward.
Hope said other theme statements include "Everyone's a villain in somebody else's story," using Batman characters, "Despite appearances, the world is not black and white," using a chessboard design and pieces and "Temptation breaks all bonds," set in the Prohibition-era of speakeasies.
"Shakespeare doesn't have to be men in tights," Hope said.
Staging the play in various times and genres proves that the Bard's work still has relevance today, she said.
And Text Alive allows students to experience Shakespeare the way the works were meant to be — they are plays. They are meant to be acted and imbued with emotion.
"It helps them understand the shows through the vehicle as it was meant to be," said Hope, who acted in plays at Westlake while a student there, studied theater at University of Maryland, Baltimore County and earned a master's of fine arts from Purdue University.
She spent time in Los Angeles working in the film industry before heading back to the East Coast to focus on theater and getting back to teaching, which she started while at Purdue.
Mascia found Hope and the company last year while looking for a guest to beam into his classroom via telepresence, which allows experts and guest speakers to interact with students on a variety of topics through the Internet.
Hope offered to show up in person to hold an "Othello" workshop.
Afterward, she told Mascia about Text Alive, a grant-funded program offered in fall and spring to 12 to 14 schools in the metropolitan area.
He signed up, and his class was the only Charles County school to be selected, he said.
Hope said she believes that Text Alive opens students eyes to Shakespeare's work through acting it out.
"I like it better," said Teja Clark, 18, who is heading up the costuming.
She watched her classmates work on the scene with Hope on Westlake's stage recently.
"When you read it, it can drag," she said. "Seeing it performed is so much better."
Mascia said acting out the play is catching on. His other English classes also are performing "Measure for Measure" in class, although they will only perform it for one another.
"This is the first year kids have told me they enjoy doing Shakespeare," Mascia said.
As an audience member, Teja also has seen her friends bloom on stage.
"They've definitely opened up," she said. "Some of them are actually kind of good."
Desi, a gregarious basketball player who described himself as "goofy," volunteered to act in the play and has found he has a knack for the stuff.
Hope told him that he has a great handle on the language.
Taking direction from Hope — "Read it like 'Damn, she's fine'" — Desi works his way through a monologue when Angelo realizes he is stirred by the nun Isabella because of her virtue.
"Never could the strumpet, With all her double vigor, art and nature, Once stir my temper; but this virtuous maid, Subdues me quite," he performed.
When he gets to the word "strumpet," Hope suggested Desi single out a girl in the front row dismissively.
He laughed at, but liked the idea and added it later in the rehearsal.
In addition to working on the scenes, Hope leads improvisation games to loosen up and introduce students to new ideas they can use in their performance.
"Your first instinct is usually the right one," she said. "When you're an actor in a scene you have to have an objective. We want to have a lot of energy on stage, and we want to have fun up here."

Muncie – Yesterday members of the Pendleton District Meth Suppression Squad started an investigation that led to a Muncie home about 3 p.m. yesterday afternoon. Troopers searched the home at 1103 W. 17th St. and found Methamphetamine, and the chemicals used in the manufacture of Methamphetamine, and arrested four Muncie men in the home for felony charges.
Arrested was Robert R. Schuyler, age 43 of that address, for Conspiracy to Manufacture Methamphetamine, Class "B" Felony, Possession of Methamphetamine, Class "C" Felony, Possession of Syringes and Maintaining a Common Nuisance, both Class "D" Felonies and Possession of Paraphernalia, Class "A" Misdemeanor.
Also arrested was Jason Taylor, age 30 of Muncie, for Possession of Methamphetamine Class "C" Felony, Possession of a Controlled Substance, Class "D" Felony, Visiting a Common Nuisance, Class "D" Felony and Possession of Paraphernalia, Class "A" Misdemeanor.
Two other men were arrested; Michael Vincent, age 18, and Matthew Stockton, age 21, both of Muncie. Both were charged with Visiting a Common Nuisance, Class "D" Felony. All four men were lodged in the Delaware County Jail.
Signs to look for Meth manufacturing are a strong ammonia smell, or solvent smell like an auto body shop. Look for air line type rubber tubing, ether or camp fuel cans, plastic bottles, Pseudoephedrine packages, lithium battery casings, and propane tanks with a blue or green discoloration around the valve. The chemicals are highly explosive and fumes are toxic to breath and will damage internal organs.
Often times Meth Labs are found as a result of an anonymous tip from a neighbor or friend. Anyone with information about illegal drug use may call the Pendleton Post at 1-800-527-4752, or the Indiana State Police Drug Tip Line at 1-800-453-4756. Tips can be made and kept anonymous. The Indiana Meth Investigation System or IMIS, can also take tips on meth labs. Just go to www.meth.in.gov and click on the "Report Suspected Meth Activity" Link.

Existing-home sales highest since late 2009
Existing-home sales rose 0.6 percent in April to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.97 million, according to the National Association of Realtors, or NAR.
Sales of existing homes in April were 9.7 percent higher than during the same period in the prior year.
Pent-up demand is supporting sales, but tight credit standards and inventories are holding back gains, the group said. There are also head winds remaining from high unemployment, though the economy is adding jobs.
"Unless the regular turnover increases more aggressively, existing home sales growth could flatten out somewhat this year," wrote Yelena Shulyatyeva, an economist at BNP Paribas.
Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected the pace of existing-home sales to hit a rate of 5 million in April, compared with a prior estimate of a 4.92 million rate in March. On Wednesday, NAR revised March's rate to 4.94 million.
Meanwhile, median prices hit $192,800 in April, the highest since 2008, up 11 percent from the same period in the prior year, with low inventory supporting prices.
"Both first-time buyer and investor buying trends have remained steady over the past six months, suggesting that the recent rebound in home prices has not yet become an issue for buyers," according to a research note from Gennadiy Goldberg, U.S. strategist with TD Securities.
Inventories rose 11.9 percent in April to 2.16 million existing homes for sale. April tends to have the highest inventories of the year. The supply rose to 5.2 months in April from 4.7 months in March.
Distressed property sales fell to 18 percent of all transactions in April, the lowest since data collection began in 2008.
"We anticipate that this will continue to fall based on the pipeline of distressed mortgages," said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist.

Three years ago, I weighed close to 300 pounds. I would like to tell you being a big, lazy slob was awful, but it wasn't. I enjoyed massive portions of rich, delicious foods and took great pleasure in passively watching the shiny flat-screen TV in front of my leather couch. It was not such a terrible life.
It was also incredibly selfish.
Things changed for me when I fell in love with a girl who wasn't fat. She's a nurse, and she explained the many reasons I needed to lose weight. So I did. It wasn't that hard, really. I restricted my calories and got some casual exercise. It took eight months to drop 100 pounds. I've slowly taken off another 10 pounds or so since. I did not set foot in a gym or eat any weird berries; I adhered to a common-sense diet that fit my lifestyle. If you want to hear more about the diet, I wrote a book about it, Chubster, that came out last week.
Dieting was, for me, a reasonably pleasant experience. I'd describe it as the kind of surprisingly not-so-horrible chore you wonder why you allowed yourself to avoid for so long. Like taxes or dental work, other blandly irksome tasks that people procrastinate about for reasons you can't understand once you're on the other side.
Yet two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese. Why?
Being fat is a choice. Genetics plays a role, sure. So does your upbringing. But you do not get fat unless you're eating more than you need to nourish your body. That's basic science. There are no excuses, no matter what someone from the so-called Fat Acceptance Movement wants to claim. Not that you can totally blame people who get discouraged and give up, inevitably leaving their loved ones or the government to care for them when the bill comes due.
There's a $60 billion industry of Organized Dieting that exists to sell people schemes and gadgets. Most of the things they're selling are bunk because the truth is too simple to market.
Our bodies are machines; food is their fuel. Since the early 1900s, we've known how much fuel various foods contain and how much bodies of various shapes and sizes need. In 1918, the first modern diet book, Dr. Lulu Hunt Peters' Diet and Health, With Key to the Calories, sold two million copies by explaining that the calorie is a measurement of food energy and that people gain weight because they're taking in too much fuel. This is too easy, of course. It's been parsed thousands of different ways since, often with the basic science of the matter obscured in the process.
Worth remembering with foodie gluttony cresting: People aren't fat because they eat fast-food hamburgers, wheat bread, too much meat, too little meat or gingerbread. They're fat because they eat too much, period. It's quite possible to get fat from artisan charcuterie or tofu scrambles.
We can have sincere debates about our food systems—hyper-efficient, factory-style farms or the organic localist approach, and whether it's OK to eat animals if you kill them yourself—but few arguments seem to address how we can develop a food system that will end the obesity epidemic.
I think we're at the point where that needs to change. I hope we're ready to take a clear-eyed look at the problem.
It starts deep in our DNA. Evolution has fine-tuned the human body for the lifestyle of a tribesman engaged in hunting-gathering and subsistence agriculture. Your body's natural inclination is to get and store whatever fat you can because you never know when a hard, cold and hungry winter is coming.
"For centuries, the human race struggled to overcome food scarcity, disease, and a hostile environment. With the onset of the industrial revolution, the great powers understood that increasing the average body size of the population was an important social and political factor," writes Dr. Benjamin Caballero, a Johns Hopkins University professor.
So we, as a society, put an emphasis on producing and distributing cheap, high-fuel food. By the year 2000, we reached what Caballero calls "one of the major achievements in human evolution"—having more overweight people than underweight people for the first time in human history.
Fatness is a byproduct of the leisurely life our hardworking ancestors and the greatest minds of the Western world have been working to create for millennia. They wanted for us a life of plenty, without back-breaking work. Our overweight society is, by the standard of the ancients, a utopia.
Yet it's not working. We're at a point where life expectancy is actually falling in parts of the country. Do people seem happier? Humans aren't meant to sit limply on soft chairs, imprisoned by our own fat, we're meant to be actively engaged in the outside world. The irresponsibly overweight are also counting on someone—their kids, spouses or our overstrained social services—to pick up their mess when the effects catch up to them.
Turns out, burgers and fries are fine when you're working in factories, but not so much after the post-industrial economy picked people off the assembly line and plunked us down in cubicles. And yet our habits—what we eat, how we get around—haven't evolved to match our new reality.
That can't change overnight. It will, eventually, I'm confident. Just like it did with smoking, still the country's leading cause of preventable death but half as common as it was in the 1960s. Foods will get lighter, perhaps aided by new technology—look at the miracle of Popchips. Urban planners will build cities that get people on their feet. Portland is getting there quickly.
Responsible people can't sit idly waiting for macro change, though. For the fat, that starts by admitting your weight is a byproduct of your choices. Then it's a matter of recognizing those choices are unsustainable. I realized if I didn't change my life, I was going to die—but not before burdening the people I loved and our hospitals, and not before missing out on the life I could have been living.
Too many diet pitches start with the premise that being fat is terrible. It isn't, really. In contemporary American society, it's perfectly possible to live a happy life as a big, fat slob. It's also disgusting—not aesthetically, but morally—and don't blame anyone for saying so. There is life behind the flatscreen. Get off the couch and start living it.
GO: Martin Cizmar signs copies of Chubster at Powell's City of Books, 1005 W Burnside St., on Thursday, Jan. 12. 7:30 pm.

What areas of energy and environment policy are losing the most with the federal government shutdown?
In the initial days after the government shut down at midnight last Monday, public outrage about America's suddenly shuttered national parks was rampant. In response, House Republicans moved bills to reopen them (and other certain parts of the government, like the National Institutes of Health). But such measures failed to gain traction in the upper chamber, where Senate Democratic leadership refused to negotiate on piecemeal approaches to funding the government.
Concerns were also raised about what impact the shutdown may have on various agencies' highest-profile responsibilities, including Environmental Protection Agency rulemaking for its climate-change rules and the Interior Department's permitting process for oil and natural-gas projects.
What long-term consequences do energy and environment issues face in the midst of a government shutdown? Are there any policies in this area that could actually benefit from the lack of a federal government? When the government does reopen (one must assume that's a "when" and not an "if"), what will be the lingering effects of the shutdown?
On a symbolic level, what does this say about Washington's ability to pass ostensibly easy measures, like the bipartisan energy-efficiency bill that the Senate pushed aside last month without taking action it?

I love that I can make a few of these at a time and eat them warm without waiting for a large enough crowd to justify a tube pan full."

1 teaspoon
I loved it, Loved It, Loved It....Yummmy. I did make some changes, to make it low calorie. I used sugar sub (equal and splendar). I've been looking for a recipe that was quick and easy this one was perfect. So, Yummy with my coffee Easter moring. I dld make some spice changes. I used cinnamon instead of apple pie spice and changed the butter to low cal butter sub. I cut each biscuit in four pieces. I put six pieces in each muffin cup. And as a Weight Watcher each muffin was only 1 1/2 points. This was so good it truly reminded me of a "REAL" cinnamon roll from the donut shop. Thanks Lindsay. great idea.
For some reason these did not turn out so well for me.

I used the bread dough from the Cloverleaf Rolls, which is also from this site (I don't usually keep whomp biscuits on hand). Because the recipe made twelve "muffins", I had to double the rest of the ingredients. This was good, though next time I'll just do what I usually do with monkey bread and dip the ball in butter and roll in the sugar/spice blend. I did make a cream cheese drizzle for the top of these which the boys flipped for. It took a little more time with a homemade bread dough but the outcome was great. The kids especially liked these. NOTE: I used my small cookie scoop for this and made three balls in each muffin tin, just like I did for making Cloverleaf Rolls.
I didn't have pie spice in my cupboard so I used cinnamon and nutmeg. I used 7 muffin cups but could have spread it out to 8 or 9. These got rave reviews from my kids and my dad. Super easy to make. These do not last long.
**Update: Made these again and they fill 9 muffin liners nicely.
Absolutely Fantastic!! However, I did make a few changes. I only had a mini muffin pan so I used that instead. I cut the biscuits into six pieces and put 3 pieces in each... I was short 12 pieces so I had to cut up 2 more biscuits from another can and I just doubled the spice sugar mixture. I put my pieces into a plastic bowl and put a top on it so all I had to do was shake it around and the pieces were coated. I added a half a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter mixture while it was cooking and spooned it on. Took eight minutes to bake and is absolutely wonderful! (I made an account just to write this review! XD)
My Husband LOVED these. I give this 4 stars instead of five becuase I had to search elsewhere for a recipe for biscuit dough, as I do not purchase premade dough. Heres what I used for my dough-2cups flour, 4 tsp powder, 1 tbsp sugar, 1/2 c butter, and 2/3 c milk. Filled 12 muffins well and had enough to have a few plain biscuits on the side.
These were excellent and super easy to throw together. This recipe makes it easier to serve a small crowd without breaking out the bundt pan. If you're like me and didn't have apple pie spice on hand, you can use the following measurements to arrive at the total of 1 tsp apple pie spice: 1/8 tsp ground ginger, 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg, heaping 1/8 tsp ground allspice and 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon. This recipe will be added to my recipe box for sure!
Simple receipe to follow. My son is going to a early morning potluck on Sunday so I wanted to try this out before hand...yes I use my sons a guinea pigs.
I read through most of the reviews and used a lot of their suggestions from those reviews. I used the Grands Original (16 oz) which meant I needed to tweak the measurements for the mixture you rolled the pieces in. I also used a ziploc bag to get all the pieces covered completely (one biscuit cut up at a time). I used the apple slicer someone else suggested, putting 6 of those covered pieces in each liner. I was sure not to over fill the those liners with the sugar mixture by using a spoon to drizzle it on and making sure all the pieces were covered somewhat (because one review said it all pooled at the bottom).
I reduced my temp to 350 degrees as someone else suggested and ended up extending the time by 2 min increments (total of 16 mins) until they were done on top and sprung back as the recipe calls for.
We shared one to make sure they were done all the way through and I must say we all gave them two thumbs up.

Monaco Grand Prix stewards panel representative Derek Warwick has explained why Nico Rosberg was cleared of any wrong-doing during qualifying for last week's race in the Principality.
As former Formula One driver, Warwick was the fourth member on the stewards panel and served to advise the other members on incidents from a drivers' perspective.
The panel investigated Rosberg after Saturday's qualifying following the Mercedes driver's accident during his final flying lap of Q3.
Rosberg locked his brakes and ran off the track at Mirabeau, which triggered yellow flags which in turn ruined the other drivers on track's session, effectively handing him pole position ahead of his team-mate Lewis Hamilton.
Subsequently, the stewards studied telemetry and video evidence, but after Rosberg was interviewed on the matter, the stewards ruled that they "could find no evidence of any offence".
Nevertheless, speculation about Rosberg's intent during the incident continued to surface on the paddock during the race weekend and Sky Sports pundit Martin Brundle even suggested that only a "minority" believed Rosberg's story.
Warwick, a veteran of 146 grands prix and current President of the British Racing Drivers' Club, remains convinced by the explanation that was provided by Rosberg and maintains that the panel investigated the incident thoroughly.
"We had all Mercedes's data, including Lewis's data to overlay on Nico's. We had the FIA data. We had onboard shots, overhead shots, circuit shots. We had throttle traces, braking traces, everything we needed to make, hopefully, the right decision," Warwick told The Daily Mail.
"It was not black and white. It took a long time. We wanted to be sure and thorough. The driver is a massive component in what we end up deciding. So Nico was in the stewards' room for a long time with the team manager [Ron Meadows]. I wouldn't say I interrogated him; I interviewed him. I made sure I asked him all the right questions.
"I have been around a long time and seen people try to pull the wool over my eyes. Did I have doubts in my mind, of course I did. But he gave me the answers I needed. I know there are conspiracy theories but you will not find a more honest driver in grand prix racing than Nico. He said himself that he made a mistake, came in too fast, braked too late and locked up his rear tyres."
If Rosberg was found to have acted deliberately, he would have been stripped of pole position and forced to start from the back of the grid, similar to how Michael Schumacher was punished in 2006 when he deliberately stopped his Ferrari at the Rascasse.
"You could argue that as president of the BRDC I would have a reason to come to a decision that would have favoured the British driver, but obviously that is not how I would approach it. I am there to be independent," Warwick added.
"It is a big decision to make when you are deciding to move a driver to the back of the grid. It was doubly important to get it right because it could affect many things - probably the outcome of the race and possibly of the world championship."

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Ralph Graves Wirelessly stream your iTunes library With the iHome iW1, it's easy to enjoy your iTunes music library anywhere in your home. Through Apple Airplay (a feature of iTunes 10), you can wirelessly connect your computer, iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to the iW1 and stream your iTunes audio library to the speaker system. And that's not just your stored music, but also podcasts and Internet radio stations. Create an instant whole-house audio system Because AirPlay links all compatible devices together, you can place additional iW1 speakers in other rooms and simultaneously play music wirelessly throughout your home. Or use the iW1 with other AirPlay-compatible speaker systems and audio receivers to create a custom wireless home audio network. Convenient portability The batteries deliver hours of uninterrupted music — great for a party, or just relaxing on the porch. Just grasp the convenient integrated handle to tote the iW1 wherever you want. Sure, you can use the included remote to control the iW1. But with Apple's free Remote app, you can also operate the system directly from your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. High-performance sound And the iW1's a pleasure to listen to. Matched speakers powered by a low-distortion amp deliver finely detailed, accurate sound — even at extreme volume levels. Sophisticated processing circuitry continually adjusts the sound, improving brightness and clarity while also delivering deeper bass. iPod and iPhone docking option When the iW1 is placed on its charging base, you can also connect an iPod or iPhone directly to the system. Just use your player's charging cable. When you plug it into the iW1's USB port, the system will automatically charge your device. And you can play music directly from your connected iPod or iPhone through the system. From the review iHome iW1 AirPlay wireless speaker system: One portable system that's at home with my music "On the whole, I enjoyed my time with the iHome iW1. It was easy to set up, and once the battery was fully charged, I could take it just about anywhere in my home (even a little outside of it). Sound quality was very good, and I especially appreciated the improvement the iW1 brought to my basement work area over the old AM/FM CD player currently residing there. Not only better sound, but a better variety of music!" — Ralph, Crutchfield Blog Editor and A/V Writer Product Highlights:portable wireless powered speaker systemApple AirPlay lets you stream music wirelessly from your iPod touch®, iPhone®, iPad®, or computerUSB port for iPod/iPhone charging cablebuilt-in rechargeable lithium-ion batteriesAC power adapter for recharging base12-1/2"W x 7-7/16"H x 3-3/4"Dwarranty: 1 yearOur 60-day money-back guaranteeNote: You might experience network dropouts when using AirPlay with an iPhone 4S.

Nice looking and sounding speaker. But always had intermittent problems with it dropping off the network, especially if it was moved. Even when other devices have 5 bars, the iW1 would drop. I am not sure if that was an AirPlay issue or an iW1 issue; either way it was a problem. Then after a year, the speaker will not "boot". Will not even work using the auxiliary jack; is essentially useless. iHome wants $100 to repair it and offers a 30 day warranty on repaired units; I am going to pass on that. AirPlay sounds good but you must be on your home WiFi and it only works with Apple. Avoid iHome and Airplay. Look at Bluetooth speakers Pros: Nice Looking Sounds good when it works Cons: Unreliable Expensive Was this review helpful? Yes No terrible, shipping it back! Written By steve the software engineer, portland or on Tuesday, January 01, 2013 I carefully followed the instructions, and I had it working on my wifi network... for a minute. Then it stopped working. No matter how many times I power cycled this thing, it just wouldn't respond anymore. The ipad/iphone setup app is terrible also. No useful feedback. This thing is a weird device -- it has two separate power buttons for instance. I think this company just tried to do too many things (battery power, wifi, ipad software, etc) and hasn't really worked out the bugs. I'm tired of struggling with someone else's buggy stuff so I'm returning it. --steve PS I'm a software engineer, so I know a few things about software and devices like this... Pros: has a lot of features, but they aren't any good if it doesn't work Cons: doesn't work! -- see my review Was this review helpful? Yes No Great! Written By JayC, Findlay, Ohio on Saturday, May 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to set up, works great! The sound is good. Love the built in battery/ charger. Just grab it and put it in whatever room you're hanging out in. Battery lasts for hours. Airplay is so cool. By far the best bang for the buck! Pros: Airplay, built in battery Cons: If you're looking for super high quality sound, this isn't for you. If that's the case, spend more money on something less portable. But if you're looking for good sound and the most features in an affordable unit, this thing rocks! Was this review helpful? Yes No Works and sounds fine Written By Will, Ithaca, NY on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to setup, as reliable as AirPlay, sounds better than it should. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No iHome iW1 - Not ready for prime time... Written By George, West Orange, NJ on Monday, January 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this for my wife for Christmas. She was really excited. But it was nothing but problems form out of the box until I sent it back to Crutchfield. The software would have to be installed every time she went to connect her iTouch. Exchanged it for the Bose Bluetooth without any issues from Crutchfield. Do yourself a favor - Just go with the Bose. So much easier. Pros: None.... Cons: Did not work.... Was this review helpful? Yes No iHome iW1 Written By John V, New Milford, CT on Monday, January 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy set up, only took a few minutes. Works great with my IPhone and Pandora App. Was this review helpful? Yes No Engineer Written By Pat, Quincy, IL on Saturday, January 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works great. Pros: Good quality, portable, looks good, easy setup. Cons: Will not work with iPhone 4S, Crutchfield made this known in advance of purchase. Still waiting on Apple to issue a update to fix this! Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Product! Written By ncwipod, Good Old USA! on Thursday, January 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great iPod dock. I had my iPod for about 2.5 years and was waiting of a real nice dock to come along. When I found this was I just fell in love with it! It cost an arm and an leg but it was worth every cent of it! :) Pros: -Amazing sound -Supper loud (I've not yet even found a time to play it at full vol) -Small and portable -GREAT battery life Cons: UMMMM......like none!! Was this review helpful? Yes No iHome iW1 Written By Joe M, Yonkers, NY on Thursday, January 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchased the IW1 for my teenage son who listens to his IPod all over the house and outside as well - so neded a portable speaker system. Great battery life and nice features and portability is a breeze. However, the bass response is not impressive as you max out the volume. Returned the unit for the Bose SoundDock Portable System. Pros: Great styling and portability. Cons: Sound quality diminishes as you increase the volume. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No iHome IW1 Written By fljagsfan, Vero Beach, FL on Thursday, January 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The first iHome I got was defective. Could not get AirPLay to work even after calling the company. However.....The best electronics store in the world (Crutchfield) sent me a new one and from day one it has worked perfectly. Very versatile, can me moved outside and everywhere in the home. Would not have been satisfied until Crutchfield exchange the original one. Pros: Good Sound for such a small speaker and the Air Play works perfectly even if you're not just listening to music but also movies and live TV. Cons: Haven't had it long enough to address any Cons. Was this review helpful? Yes No iHome iW1 Written By Brad, Northville, MI on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A very expensive piece of junk. Connecting it to the wireless router was successful but quirky. The biggest problem is that it simply does not stay connected to the wireless router over time. We bought this to use with iPhone/iPad accompaniment music for piano practice. It is a very good concept. When it is time for the kids to practice piano, we airplay the music to the speaker. The problem is that most of the time the speaker has lost connection to the wireless router. No problem, right? We have to take the speaker down from the bookshelf, unplug it, turn the power off, turn around twice to the left, touch our nose, and turn the power back on. Connection successful. We can plug our iOS device into cheap speakers with considerably less effort. Don't buy this device if you expect it to work when you need it to work. Pros: Good idea Cons: Doesn't stay connected 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No iHome iW1 Written By DanC, Smyrna GA on Wednesday, January 04, 2012 We're using the iW1 as a remote speaker for a new iMac loaded up with our iTunes song library. We played Christmas music in the background during the holidays, and the speaker worked great. You can control volume and playback directly on the speaker, with the included small IR remote or from the remote iMac. Occasionally you are locked out from playing/pausing/skipping from the speaker or the remote; we haven't figured out the cause or exact pattern of behavior, but it appears to be an issue with iTunes that will hopefully be resolved in a future revision. Sound is surprisingly good for such a small speaker, thought stereo separation obviously suffers. Very crisp, no audible trace of distortion at reasonable playback levels. It's a kick to be able to lift the speaker off its charging base and tote it around the house to wherever you want to have music or audio. Particularly great if you like to listen to Internet sports or Talk Radio - crisp, clear audio with no static or dropouts. I expect iHome and Apple to follow with additional AirPlay products during 2012, the technology is elegant and has great potential. Pros: Overall design, sound quality Cons: Occasional lockout of playback controls, relatively expensive Was this review helpful? Yes No Can you hear me now? Written By Chris, Cleveland, OH on Friday, December 23, 2011 I was really looking forward to this, but unfortunately am having quality issues with Airplay. Although I have a 12gb connection speed, it still drops out quite frequently (without even having any other devices taking up wireless data!). I'm wondering if this is the problem with a lot of Airplay devices. I may return it and go Bluetooth. Pros: Rechargeable battery, portability Cons: Wifi reliability 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sounds great but.... Written By Rob, Niskayuna, NY on Thursday, December 22, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Like several other reviewers the first one I received did not work but Crutchfield promptly replaced it. The second time around it took a week to finally connect to my WI-FI network (I had to walk away for several days). The issue was always connecting to 169.254.1.1 to finalize the connection as the instruction say. I was connecting via my PC (using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer) and could never get the web site to load. Out of desperation I called Crutchfield Tech Support and they suggested I try FireFox. After two tries I was able to connect. Once that was done the sound quality is great and the device us easy to use. Streaming from iTunes is fantastic. I like the Bongiovi DPS feature, adds great depth. However, when I stray too far from my router (maybe 20 feet) the signal drops and I have to place it back on the charging base to restart the palyback. Maybe a router upgrade is necessary. So I would say proceed with caution on this, my experience so far has been mixed; if you can get it running you'll enjoy it. Pros: great sound quality, wireless, Air Play compatibility Cons: set-up was very difficult, wireless connectivity frequently drops Was this review helpful? Yes No Great concept, so-so execution Written By Shawn F, Washington, DC on Saturday, December 10, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The first unit I received was defective, but Crutchfield's awesome customer service came through and I had a replacement in just a few days. Out of the box, the iW1 is stylish and looks and feels solidly built. The carrying handle is hidden from view, which is nice, but it does feel like there's not enough of a "hook" to grasp. I like the way the unit simply rests on top of the charging base, with no cables to mess with when you want to move it. Setup of the iW1 was less than Apple-simple, as my network uses MAC address filtering and the instructions need a little work in that area. It took several attempts to get everything working; particularly annoying were the iW1's boot-up period, very slow communications with the network, and cumbersome reset process. Once I got the iW1 up and running, I found the sound quality to be quite good. However, I'm encountering problems with the Wi-Fi frequently flaking out for several moments at a time, and I'll probably end up disabling the Wi-Fi and just tethering the iW1 to an AirPort Express via a 1/8" stereo cable. That said, as with anything wireless your mileage may vary. Pros: Wi-Fi rather than Bluetooth; portability; appearance. Cons: Setup; instructions; Wi-Fi connection reliability. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Love This Speaker ! Written By TomInLA, Hollywood on Monday, November 21, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I did a lot of research before buying this because I wanted a great sounding wireless speaker for under $400. THIS is IT ! The sound is full and doesn't sound like all the iPod speakers I've heard previously. It definitely fills the room with great music. It's easy to set up, the remote is great, the display is great. I could go on and on. I am so happy with this purchase. Pros: EVerything ! Cons: I can't really think of what I don't like. I mean it COULD be smaller but then again maybe it wouldn't sound as fantastic if it was. If you want an Airplay speaker, this is the one. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No iHome iW1 Written By Michael, AZ on Tuesday, October 25, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First one was a dud, replacement was fast though, and so far, love it. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Written By Luke, MA on Saturday, October 22, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The sound is phenomenal, I really didn't expect that to be the case. If you're an iPhone, iPad, iPod, iWhatever user, you'll love this product. Airplay is the single best reason for using iTunes and the Remote application on any of your Apple devices. The iHome iW1 is recognized as a speaker and works flawlessly. I don't use the battery much because mine sits right near an outlet. But it is a stroke of genius for the simple charging station; no lining up prongs, just place the iW1 right on top of the charging base and voila! Pros: The sound is phenomenal! Portable/lightweight, ease of use, simple battery charging, and can also run directly connected to an outlet. Cons: The direct connect network setup was a little awkward. Mine kept saying it was "trying to connect" to the network, after I provide my home network password. It looked like it never did, but it actually had. Once it had a local IP address I renamed it with ease via a web browser. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No iHome iW1 Written By Anonymous, Medford OR on Monday, October 17, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy set-up, excellent wireless range and sound. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Imperfect but sweet - like any member of the family Written By Steve M., Springboro, OH on Friday, October 14, 2011 I bought this is as a gift for my wife, who finds that attaching an iPod and wading through playlists and such is too complex and too much work. Voila! Beyond some technical obstacles I attribute more to my own thick head, the iHome iW1 performs as advertised. The sound quality may not satisfy a true audiophile (which I'm not), but it's not bad by any stretch. Playing through your computer's iTunes is more reliable, but less convenient; playing through your iPod, the reverse is true. If the iPod is a great distance away (meaning more than 20 or 30 feet or blocked by something), the sound may cut out - at least that's my experience. Again, it may be due to something else entirely. Otherwise, there is just a small lag time between hitting "Play" and the iW1 coming to life, and I've yet to experience any buffering or skipping as it plays. The handle on the back makes the bottom jut out as you carry it and overall feels a little iffy, so I'd recommend both hands on it when transporting. 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No iHome iW1 Written By Russ, San Francisco on Friday, October 14, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Fantastic! Easy setup with the iPhone App. The sound is incredible when in the Bongiovi DPS mode, it certainly exceeded my expectations. Wifi range is very good on my Netgear N300 router. I have used the speaker in every room of my home and outside on the deck for about four hours and never had any reception issues. Plays well without any problems on my iPhone,iPad and PC using iTunes. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

of pharmaceuticals & life sciences CEOs say customers and clients are influencing their business strategy.
Balancing the needs of patients and society
Pharmaceuticals & life sciences companies need to respond to patients' needs; but they need to understand and cope with the expectations of governments and regulators too. The CEOs in our survey understand this balancing act; 94% say customers and clients are influencing their strategy and the same number say they take governments and regulators into account.
Getting leaner
With governments and payers around the world looking to cut healthcare costs, pharmaceuticals & life sciences CEOs are acutely aware of the need to trim the fat. Four out of five sector CEOs say they've cut costs this year and the same plan to do so in the coming twelve months. Operational efficiency is at the top of their list of investment priorities. And 37% are looking to outsource key processes.
Even a recession-proof industry has its problems
There are signs that pharmaceuticals & life sciences CEOs see their industry as more resilient in the face of recession. Fewer are worried about issues like uncertain economic growth and fewer see a recession in the US as having a negative impact. But there's one big cloud on the horizon – government responses to debt and fiscal deficits. Nearly half of sector CEOs worry that they could put the damper on growth.
Reaching out to customers in new ways
Governments and payers aren't the only ones looking for a bargain. In our Pharma 2020 series we've found that patients want more for less too. That's true both in mature countries concerned by soaring healthcare bills and in growth countries where household incomes are still relatively low.
Pharmaceuticals & life sciences CEOs are responding – 81% are beefing up efforts to engage with customers. And they're finding new ways to do it. We've seen some companies starting to reach out directly to patients to better understand how their medicines work in real-life settings.
Walking the regulation high-wire
There are other hurdles set by the government too. The most concerning is over-regulation – 73% of pharmaceuticals and life sciences CEOs think it could pose a threat to growth. To get a new drug approved, pharmaceuticals companies need to navigate a whole series of regulatory hurdles. Getting it wrong can mean big penalties. And with big data offering the potential for a much better understanding of patient populations, the whole process may change radically in the future. Here, too, pharmaceuticals & life sciences CEOs are reaching out. Four out of five are increasing their efforts to engage with governments and regulators.
Lots of reasons for looking to China
With populations getting bigger and becoming wealthier in growth markets, the need for the industry's products is growing. China tops the list of countries where pharmaceuticals and life sciences companies expect to see increases this year. The top reason is to grow the customer base, but that's far from the only objective. While one-third of sector CEOs plan to build manufacturing capacity in China, even more (44%) are looking to build both R&D and innovation capacity and internal service delivery capacity. All told, 62% of pharmaceuticals and life sciences CEOs see accessing the local talent base in China as a key objective, compared to just 43% of CEOs overall.
The US and Brazil are key locations too
CEOs across our total sample are placing a lot more faith in growth at home than abroad. Not so for pharmaceuticals and life sciences, where existing foreign marketers are nearly as important as domestic ones. After China, the US and Brazil stand out as countries where CEOs are expecting growth.
Investing in innovation
In our new Pharma 2020 report, we look in detail at some of the challenges the sector is facing in managing its innovation process. We believe that companies will need to get much more selective about the molecules in their pipeline. They'll also need to consider exciting new areas of research, like genomics, man/machine interfaces, regenerative medicine and vaccines for chronic conditions. However they approach innovation and R&D, it will continue to be a focus – 46% rank it as a top investment priority.
"People always tend to think that a tough economic situation is the sign of a "new normal"; and, conversely, that a robust world economy will last forever. But economic conditions always alternate. It's more useful to view things over the long-term; tough economic times will eventually be followed by a period of growth."
"My own view is that Asia and Africa are going to be key drivers of future global growth. In Asia, people will be living longer and healthier lives. In that sense, Asia in the coming years will be experiencing a "healthcare explosion", as opposed to a population explosion. ..."
"Looking ahead, it's also clear that the future of our company lies in the developing world. About 70% of the pharmaceutical industry's growth now comes from the emerging economies. So the question for us is, how are we going to build a market presence in the emerging world and how are we going to build an infrastructure to get our products delivered there?"
"Success depends upon our capacity to innovate new products. Unfortunately, in my view, the pharmaceutical industry is hitting the wall in terms of product innovation. Currently, products based on low-molecular-compound technology account for over 80% of the products coming out of the pharmaceutical industry. But this technology has limits in terms of efficacy …"
"R&D in the pharmaceutical industry is gradually shifting toward the development of high-molecular compound products. … Clearly, from the point of corporate strategy it is extremely important that we become one of the leaders in new technologies such as high-molecular compound technology."
"If we look around the world, there are public research laboratories, universities, and government research organizations which collectively have about a million people doing research in many different kinds of cutting-edge technology. It's vital that we track their progress so that we are able to obtain rights to the most promising new research coming out of the public sector."
"Our core strategy revolves around the question of how we can go about finding and recruiting top talent from around the world and provide them with the kind of work environment that will maintain their interest and reinforce their morale."

Bleeding aqua and orange since 1972
I think you are totally right on this one. I would like to enjoy watching them and I know I won't be able to keep it inside if the Dolphins break a huge gain and then the gig is up..lol.
So it looks like it'll be a local bar in Sacramento for me. Thanks guys for the heads up. I appreciate that.
Go into the tailgate section of the forum here and you will find some more info... I am going to the game there is a site phinvaders.com that has bought two whole sections of seats just for dolphins fans... there is supposed to be a party at one of the hotels that night and tailgate party before the game.. If we can all get tickets together and have safety and numbers ill proudly wear my dolphins jersey to the game.. Not an authentic of course...
If you live in sac... I live in the north bay we could always meet somewhere in the middle and carpool.. save on parking prices and more of the safety in numbers deal..
Raider fans are tough sometimes but i have been to all the games there since 2000 (From San Jose) and never had any issues other than smack talk. Most the time if you ask who was the last QB to win them a Super Bowl they have this dazed look in there eyes and have no idea. I would suggest if you go and wear the gear go with some buddies who like the Raiders it always helps to know somebody who knows people in there section.
I'll be there, looking to buy seats on the visitors side around the 50yd line... Not too bad on stubhub right now, I'll be going with a bunch of raider fans, that's you're best bet for not getting hassled as much. You will at least have a chance to get out of the stadium alive.
**And DO NOT sit anywhere other than the lower bowl! You will have no chance with the crowd up higher.
I live in the Bay Area and have gone to several Dolphin games and have never had any problems... Just be cool, be smart and you'll be ok...
Mr Ross.. you failed us!!!
I would wear Dolphins gear loud and proud. Worst that can happen is they get arrested, make a spectacle.

Given the popularity of purebred dogs, mixed breeds often get the short end of the stick. But these one-of-a-kind pups have just as much love to give. Today is National Mutt Day, which aims to celebrate and raise awareness about these special dogs. Besides making excellent companions, mixed-breed dogs also serve society as bomb-sniffing dogs, guide dogs, and even actors! Did you know that the beloved Benji was a mixed breed?
If you're the proud pet parent of a mixed breed, we hope you're celebrating National Mutt Day by spending time with your furry friend! If you or someone you know plans to add a canine to the family, look outside the breed box and open your heart to a mutt. You might find love in a shape or size you didn't expect!
Show Us Your Mutt!
Today we'll be highlighting mixed breed dogs across our social media channels. To participate simply share your photo with us on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram using hashtag #NationalMuttDay!

text: Anyone read the new book called "Undeated" by Mike Freeman? It chronicles the perfect season and provides so much great insight into each of the key players on the team and of course, Shula. It's a great read and I highly recommend it to any Phins-fan. What prompted me to bring this up is that the ulimate stupid play in the game yesterday just would never occured on a championship team as good, intelligent and disciplined as those Superbowl teams coached by Shula. The guys on the team were portrayed as being very intelligent - they were not the most athletic bunch with superstars everywhere - but they outsmarted and outworked everyone for about 3 straight years. They didn't make many mental errors. And if they did (see Garo Yepremian's whiff, blocked FG pass for a TD for the other team in the SB). Even though they won the game, the kicker was "dead" to the rest of the team for not "doing his job" and falling on the ball. It was so bad that the little "c__sucker" as Many Fernandez called him as he came off the field went into such a state of depression after that. Think about that. They go undeated, win the game despite the gaffe, but the team would not forgive him or forget it - their mentality was accountabilty to do your job, strive to execute perfectly on every play - nothing else was acceptable. Where is that desire in our team today? It should not be OK for a reserve LB to make such a bonehead play in a game and still be on the roster the next day. You want to breed a culture where winning is the only thing that matters, you have to show your team that having your head up your @SS is not acceptable. Anyway, if you haven't read this book you should!!!

John Mearsheimer gave a speech at the Palestine Center in Washington yesterday and called Israel an apartheid state that has practiced ethnic cleansing and will likely practice it in the future. For Mearsheimer, this is standard practice. But he added a new twist: he separated American Jews into three categories: "Righteous Jews," "New Afrikaners," and a middle group of Jews who aren't quite sure whether they're righteous or ethnic cleansers. These are Mearsheimer's Righteous Jews:
To give you a better sense of what I mean when I use the term righteous Jews, let me give you some names of people and organizations that I would put in this category. The list would include Noam Chomsky, Roger Cohen, Richard Falk, Norman Finkelstein, Tony Judt, Tony Karon, Naomi Klein, MJ Rosenberg, Sara Roy, and Philip Weiss of Mondoweiss fame, just to name a few. I would also include many of the individuals associated with J Street and everyone associated with Jewish Voice for Peace, as well as distinguished international figures such as Judge Richard Goldstone. Furthermore, I would apply the label to the many American Jews who work for different human rights organizations, such as Kenneth Roth of Human Rights Watch.
And then there are America's Afrikaner Jews, who are not just apologists for apartheid and ethnic cleansing, but are actually a fifth column. Note that he goes beyond the normal "dual loyalty" trope and says that these American Jews are "blindly loyal" only to Israel:
These are individuals who will back Israel no matter what it does, because they have blind loyalty to the Jewish state. … I would classify most of the individuals who head the Israel lobby's major organizations as new Afrikaners. That list would include Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League, David Harris of the American Jewish Committee, Malcolm Hoenlein of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Ronald Lauder of the World Jewish Congress, and Morton Klein of the Zionist Organization of America, just to name some of the more prominent ones. I would also include businessmen like Sheldon Adelson, Lester Crown, and Mortimer Zuckerman as well as media personalities like Fred Hiatt and Charles Krauthammer of the Washington Post, Bret Stephens of the Wall Street Journal, and Martin Peretz of the New Republic. It would be easy to add more names to this list.
I believe Mearsheimer left out a category: "Anti-Semites and Jew-Baiters." I will leave it to you who to add to that list.
UPDATE: David Bernstein adds his thoughts over at Volokh.

Interpretive Handbook
60440 :
Iodine/Creatinine Ratio, Random, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Iodine is an essential element for thyroid hormone production.
The measurement of urinary iodine serves as an index of adequate dietary iodine intake.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring iodine excretion rate as an index of daily iodine replacement therapy
Correlating total body iodine load with (131)I uptake studies in assessing thyroid function
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Daily urinary output <70 mcg/g creatinine suggest dietary deficiency.
Values >1,000 mcg/g creatinine may indicate dietary excess, but more frequently suggest recent drug or contrast media exposure.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Administration of iodine-based contrast media and drugs containing iodine, such as amiodarone, will yield elevated results.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
16-40 years: 70-530 mcg/g Creatinine
41-70 years: 70-860 mcg/g Creatinine
>70 years: 70-1,150 mcg/g Creatinine
Reference values have not been established for patients that are <16 years of age.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Charlie Sykes: Sykes Writes
"It Isn't Very Newsworthy"
Touchy. Touchy. Mayor Tom Barrett hilariously blames the credit downgrade of his own city on.. Scott Walker. Meanwhile, the Journal Sentinel loudly proclaims: Nothing to see. A 'slight downgrade".... Lest you think the newspaper is not in a completely defensive mode, here is an email from the editor of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel pooh-poohing the story about the City of Milwaukee's downgrade last week and the paper's failure to report it until today. He seems a bit unhappy that I talked about it this morning. BTW. Here is the Tribune/Reuters link.
From: firstname.lastname@example.com
Sent: 4/16/2012 .
Subj: Re: Milwaukee Bond Rating
Dear XXX:
Actually, it isn't very newsworthy. I am told that a Milwaukee entertainer -- not my definition, but his bosses who say his show is entertainment and not news and information -- said it was an important "news" story that all local news outlets missed. We don't track what all the entertainers say on the radio, but here is what we know about Moody's rating. The story was not in the Chicago Tribune newspaper as I am told the entertainer said it was on his show. It was a Reuters wire brief that automatically rolled through the Tribune's wire service news on its web site last week. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel does not subscribe to the Reuters news service.
Neither AP or Bloomberg -- our two business wire services -- reported the story. Because of the complaints we received about the "missed story" that was in the Tribune, we assigned a reporter to find out what happened. It's highly unusual for Bloomberg to miss a story of ANY importance at all to investors.
Turns out Bloomberg decided the Moody's move was so slight it would have no impact on interest rates and wasn't worth a reporter's time. AP did the same. Standard & Poors held their rate steady and little-to-no impact on interest rates is expected.
Here is what we posted on our web site.
Marty Kaiser
Flashback... notice that it WAS considered newsworthy when the US credit rating was downgraded one notch last year:
Standard & Poor's announced Friday night that it has downgraded the U.S. credit rating for the first time, dealing a symbolic blow to the world's economic superpower in what was a sharply worded critique of the American political system.
(Notice that the word "slight" was not used.)
As for kaiser's gibe that I am merely an "entertainer"... I wear it as a badge of honor:

Practice Philosophy
Cosmetic Surgery enhances and improves your appearance, providing a natural look that compliments what is already there. Each procedure is individualized to the patient's needs. Reconstructive surgery aims to restore injured features using the same principals employed in cosmetic work. The surgical team and office staff wish to provide a comfortable, caring enviroment from your initial consultation through the post operative visits. Your questions are welcome at any time.
Consultation provides an opportunity for the patient and surgeon to explore what the patient wishes to achieve with plastic surgery and which procedures will best accomplish this.
