EDGARTOWN, Massachusetts (Reuters) - August has a way of interfering with a U.S. president's best-laid plans for vacation. Just ask Barack Obama. Or Bill Clinton. Or either of the presidents named Bush.
Obama, determined to take a week off from his typically grinding schedule, interrupted his holiday briefly on Thursday to condemn the killing of hundreds of people in a violent crackdown on demonstrators by Egypt's military government.
But at the risk of a new round of criticism, Obama promptly went on to play golf after the morning statement.
On Friday, after he was briefed on Egypt by his national security adviser, Susan Rice, he was out riding bikes with his wife Michelle and two daughters.
The message to be gleaned? He will not be held hostage by world events.
It is a maxim of presidential power that the commander-in-chief is never really off. The nuclear launch codes carried by a military aide are always close at hand. Modern technology allows the president to work anywhere.
But when world events intervene, presidents must draw a careful line. They must appear confident, engaged and responsive, and not seem to be overwhelmed by crises.
August is not always kind to the president.
George W. Bush provided the type of image that presidents want to avoid when, in August 2002 while vacationing in Kennebunkport, Maine, he opted to react to a suicide bombing in Israel while at the first tee box at Cape Arundel golf course.
"I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers. Thank you. Now, watch this drive," said Bush, who proceeded to swing away.
The image did not help a president who had received high marks months earlier for his response to the September 11, 2001, attacks, only to see them dissipate when the Iraq war turned unpopular after the 2003 invasion. With troops in harm's way, he avoided playing golf and took up mountain biking.
His father, President George H.W. Bush, faithfully traveled to his Walker's Point oceanfront home in Kennebunkport, where he confronted some sort of August vacation challenge nearly every year of his term from 1989 to 1993.
"What is it about August?" he once asked reporters.
Aboard his boat offshore Walker's Point, Bush worked on the war plan to repel Iraq's August 1990 invasion of Kuwait and adjust U.S. policy toward a "new world order" while fishing with Brent Scowcroft, his national security adviser.
Being able to deliver good news to Americans helps a vacationing president avoid bad optics.
In August of 1991, the elder Bush was again out on his boat when he got the word to come back and take a call from Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, who had just survived a short coup.
Wearing a multi-colored wind jacket that would horrify modern-day image meisters, Bush appeared before the press outside a weather-beaten building at Walker's Point to tell the world what had happened.
"It's been an emotional day," he said.
Sometimes a world crisis can change the subject.
It was in August 1998 that President Bill Clinton was on vacation on Martha's Vineyard, reeling from the Monica Lewinsky scandal. On August 20, reporters were expecting him to play golf.
Instead his motorcade deposited him at the White House press filing center and he announced U.S. military strikes against "one of the most active terrorist bases in the world" in Afghanistan.
It was Americans' first encounter with al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. And whether intended or not, it provided an important diversion from the Lewinsky scandal.
"Now I am returning to Washington to be briefed by my national security team on the latest information," Clinton said, before rushing back to Washington.
He then wasted little time getting back to his Martha's Vineyard holiday.

Angry migrants fired the first salvo in the battle of the Calais Jungle tonight, pelting French police with stones.
A 50-strong mob of frustrated young men threw missiles at the officers who responded with tear gas and baton charges.
The unrest comes 36 hours before the sprawling shanty town close to the Calais ferry port is cleared.
French authorities have announced they will clear all migrants out of Calais and destroy the 'Jungle' camp, starting Monday.
The group of 54 girls are the first child refugees to enter the UK from Calais under the Dubs amendment - a government pledge to help minors, reports The Observer.
The newspaper reports that the girls, most of whom are from Eritrea in Africa, were brought to the UK under the amendment - which could spark an increase in the number of young migrants coming to Britain.
Meanwhile, migrants have been encouraged to claim asylum in France. They will be processed in a nearby warehouse and sent to reception centre across the countries.
Those who refuse to claim asylum and stay in northern France risk arrest and deportation.
The police operation involving some 1,250 CRS riot police is expected to last five days.
The trouble comes after it was revealed that migrants were set to spill out into Northern France in the wake of the planned demolition of the camp.
Unofficial migrant camps without running water and toilets are expected to swell around the area after the Jungle camp is ripped to the ground next week, according to British aid volunteers.
Bulldozers will move in on the slum, with the French authorities saying the estimated 6,500 migrants camped there will be relocated, but some have already started moving on.

Two BISD employees plead guilty to embezzlement
Two former Beaumont Independent School District employees pleaded guilty in federal court April 14, 2014, to embezzling or conspiring to embezzle more than $4 million from the local school district.
Former finance director Devin McCraney pleaded guilty to one count of stealing or embezzling at least $5,000 from an entity that receives federal funds in that he caused more than $4 million dollars to be defrauded from the Beaumont Independent School District. The maximum penalty for his crime is up to 10 years imprisonment, a fine not to exceed $250,000 or two times the pecuniary gain, three years probation, forfeiture of three vehicles and 15 bank accounts, restitution and a $100 court fine.
Former Beaumont Independent School District comptroller Sharika Allison also pleaded guilty April 14 to charges stemming from her role in embezzling more than $4 million from the school district. Allison pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud a public entity that receives federal funds. Allison faces up to five years in prison, a $250,000 fine or two times the pecuniary gain, three years probation, forfeiture of certain assets, restitution of more than $1 million, and an additional $100 court fine.
Federal court Judge Ron Clark said that he would set aside sentencing until after a pre-sentencing investigation report is completed on both defendants. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office prosecuting the case, both Allison and McCraney will have their sentences subject to enhancements for the amount of money stolen, but consideration will be given since both parties "acknowledge acceptance of responsibility."

Segue Consulting
A brand new consultancy, starting from a marketing / communications approach. I want to build a brand that can be grown across all aspects of business consulting. The brand (starting with the logo) needs to instill confidence in my business capability (most important) and my creativity (less so).
The business is aimed at helping helping businesses on a tight budget, with few real resources, to take small, pragmatic steps to grow.
And this is how the name Segue Consulting came about - because it is about transitioning from one thing into another, smoothly, so the journey is as enjoyable as the destination.
I will be aiming at a reasonable conservative market - those businesses that find 'creative agencies' daunting and want amore pragmatic approach.
Businesses will primarily be small to medium family/sole trader businesses and not-for-profits. They will always hestitate to spend money unless they really trust the supplier. I need to present in a manner that encourages trust and makes me look professional enough to justify my price tag!
I want the brand (beginning with the logo) to be fresh, clean and reassuring (a little on the conservative side but not boring). Please use lower case letters (or capitalise the first letter of each word only if this suits your design - no all caps please).
The mark should not be square - round, diamond, triangular or non-descript shapes all work for me, square does not.
The logo needs to consist of the business name and a mark.
Ideally the mark would become recognisable in its own right so that in the future there are creative options around using it without the company name.
The combined name and mark should be no more than 4 colours. Three is probably preferred. The logo also needs to be able to easily work in black and white, and I'd like to be able to have a vertical and horizontal version.
If you have an idea that doesn't quite fit with what I've said but your intuition is telling you that it could work, try me - I'm certainly open to suggestions! The look, feel and colours of the logo will drive the rest of my marketing collateral so I'm really looking for something where the colours can easily be used in borders, headings, watermarks etc and still look good (so avoid colours that are best in very small doses!)
I may also want to add a tagline in the future so will probably have a preference for a logo where this can be easily incorporated.
Entries which do not meet these requirements will be eliminated without comment.
Please DO NOT submit multiple 'almost the same' entries. If I like your entry but want to see it in a different font, or different colours, I'll let you know - but I want you to put forward your best ONE, not 5 variations of the same thing. THANKS!!

North Andover Police Department to Implement LEID's Evidence System in New Station
Auburn Hills, MI – March 14, 2012 – LEID Products, LLC., the leader of electronic locker and cabinet storage with biometric asset protection and control, today announced the North Andover Police Department in Massachusetts will be implementing their new BACS Evidence Management system including LEID's Electronic Evidence Lockers and BACS Evidence Management ID Station Kiosk. The department will use the BACS evidence system to access and track all evidence moving into and out of the property room.
"The North Andover Police Department is looking forward to the installation of the LEID Products biometric evidence system for our new police headquarters," said Chief of Police, Paul J. Gallagher. "Evidence control must be strictly adhered to and chain of custody is a major factor in courtroom presentation. The system will allow our police and evidence officers to maintain detailed documentation and avoid defense motions."
Property and Evidence control and tracking is a monumental concern for law enforcement. Introduced at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Conference in October of 2011, the BACS Evidence Management system is designed to help departments meet standards required by CALEA®, the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement, as outlined in Chapter 84 "Property and Evidence Control". Evidence 'chain of custody' is electronically tracked and accounted for with the BACS Evidence Management system, limiting liability and consequences of exposure to human error.
The BACS Evidence Management ID Station Kiosk houses a biometric ID reader for access verification and the touch screen user navigation. The ID Station is also interfaced to LEID's Electronic Evidence Lockers providing the secure temporary storage of evidence incoming and outgoing from police department property rooms. The system includes complete chain of custody custom software tracking and reporting capabilities to monitor all evidence transfers. Property room managers also have remote management capabilities to access, monitor and manage the system while off site. Additional layers of security can be added with options including: hand geometry scanner, ID card reader, RFID evidence reader, and evidence barcode reader.
"North Andover Police Department has been instrumental in formulating the blueprint in terms of needed requirements in the development of LEID Products new state-of-the-art evidence management system," said Sam Hoff, president of LEID Products. "The process began over two years ago while the department was in the final phase of planning for their new station. Chief Gallagher has graciously agreed to allow us to invite fellow police chiefs to visit their building, if they wish to see the system once installed."
North Andover Police Department is among a select group of accredited police departments in Massachusetts, recognized for their commitment to continually strive to increase department efficiency and accountability to minimize exposure to liability and to enhance public reputation. In May of 2010, North Andover Police Department became the 29th out of roughly 350 police departments to earn the highly-regarded accreditation from the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission.
BACS systems – developed for LEID Products by Patti Engineering (www.pattieng.com) – have been used to secure, track critical assets for a wide range of customers. While new to the property room application, BACS has been a proven asset management system used in law enforcement departments throughout the country to securely store and track weapons and valuable equipment allowing for full accountability of armory assets. LEID Products recently announced version 2.0 of the BACS ID Station Kiosk, which includes enhancements to its sleek tamper proof construction and larger kiosk screen for additional security and functionality.
About LEID Products:
Law Enforcement Intelligent Devices (LEID), LLC is the leader of electronic locker and cabinet storage with biometric asset protection and control. Originally founded to assist police departments in securing guns, weapons, radios, etc. through an electronic tracking and fingerprinting system, LEID products are also utilized to track books within a library system, medical supplies, laptops and even business documents to selected personnel. Their Biometric Access Control Systems (BACSTM) streamlines operations and provides full accountability for critical business assets.

However, it would have been nice and even time efficient if a great deal of the knowledge this super parent acquired would have been nicely assembled and packaged back around the year 2000. Today's parents of newly diagnosed super kids are a bit luckier.
An approximately 455 -page book, 1,001 Tips for the Parents of Autistic Boys: Everything You Need to Know about Diagnosis, Doctors, Schools, taxes, vacations, babysitters, treatments, food and more by Ken Siri has been published. It is one of books out there that most resembles the manual I have had in mind. (However a similar book, 1000 Great Ideas for Teaching and Raising Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder by Veronica Zysk and Ellen Notbohm, was first published in 2004 and has been recently revised.)
Obviously one book cannot reveal everything there is to know about autism, but it's nice to have a source on hand that can be consulted quickly. This super mom also suggests that this book be seen less as a "bible" and more of handbook of advice. The advice in this book should be viewed as well intentioned because this book was obviously designed to be helpful. But there are 1001 tips included in this book so not every tidbit will fit everyone. Further, some advice such as the three tips (788-790) on cutting finger nails may not suffice for those super kids with hypersensitive hearing, touch, and a sleep disorder that makes trimming nails while the person is asleep impossible.
Despite that, this "super mom" does think this book is "super!!" because it was assembled with parents in mind and features tips from parents (a fun fact is that tips 974 to 976 are from a post I wrote and originally published on this blog). Other sources of tips include the likes of Grandin and Tony Attwood. One of the the best aspects is that the paperback book is affordable. At Amazon it is priced at $12.21 (U.S.).
This super handbook is also organized by topic so that tips that may not apply (my child does not have problems sleeping, for example) can be easily skipped to more applicable chapters. As for me, I sped read through the diagnosis chapter and read chapters addressing puberty and sexuality much more closely. (My boy is 12, so yes I thought those tips to be most helpful). The book is also easy to read, which is a bonus for us "super parents" who are super stressed.
On the downside, some parents may find parts of this book to be controversial. Others like this super mom writing this review might be merely wary. For example, one tip advises against using acetaminophen (used in products like Tylenol), but I have to avoid giving my guy who gets frequent headaches ibuprofen because of his stage 2 kidney disease. (Acetaminophen is processed through the liver, but ibuprofen is processed through the kidneys.)
On the bright side,there is a responsible disclaimer by the author indicating that the book wasn't written to provide parents with medical advice and that all tips were meant to merely provide information. Siri also correctly noted in his Author's note that "Autism is a spectrum, and all children with autism are different. [...] What works for one child, may not work for another."
That said super parents who embrace the biomedical approach to autism will be the most likely to readily accept this book because it has a heavy emphasis on biomedical treatments. Because aspiring "super parents" who are just starting to acquire knowledge about their newly diagnosed child's disorder will most likely be reading this book too, it should be noted that the author presents all tips matter of factly and does not make mention of the controversy surrounding the belief that vaccines cause autism.
This blog author prefers to regard information about vaccines cautiously and examine the arguments of both sides, so it is important to me that parents realize there are a variety of beliefs about vaccines and other biomedical treatments. Although I endorse this book, I encourage aspiring (and established) super parents to keep reading about issues, treatments and other topics regarding autism. One can never learn enough about this complicated disorder.
Siri's pro-biomedical beliefs are reflected throughout the book and are not confined simply to the chapters on treatments. However, this is not surprising considering that Siri is the co-author of Cutting Edge Therapies for Autism. Despite what a parent believes about certain issues, I believe it shouldn't be passed by because the bias reflected. This book and its counterpart has loads of useful information for all parents and should be given a chance.
Note: This review is part of a blog tour for 1001 Tips for the Parents of Autistic Boys and its counter part 1001 Tips for the Parents of Autistic Girls. More opinions about this book (as well as the one written for girls) are available at the website 1001 tips for Autism.

Dior echoes the dressmaker's toile in the latest incarnation of its VIII watch.
Dior looks to the colour of humble cotton canvas prototypes of couture dresses for their new timepiece, the Dior VIII White ($20,390 from Partridge Jewellers). Made from white ceramic and steel, the elegant watch is an update of the black version released last year, and works as both a timeless and fashionable accessory - reflecting the trend for romantic minimalism that Dior's new Creative Director, Raf Simons, has made his signature. Dior CEO watches and jewellery Laurence Nicolas talks about the history and background of the elegant piece, which will be officially launched in New Zealand next week.
Why the name Dior VIII?
Eight was Christian Dior's lucky number. A superstitious man, he opened his House on the 8th of October 1946, Avenue Montaigne, in the VIIIth arrondissement of Paris and called his first collection "En Huit" (In Eight). Since then, the number also evokes 8 Place Vendome, showcase of the jewellery and timepiece collections, but also the eight sides of the pyramid and the eight sides of the cannage pattern.
When was the Dior VIII created?
In 2011 and it is Dior's fourth watchmaking line, after La D de Dior in 2003, Chiffre Rouge in 2004 and Dior Christal in 2005.
The Dior VIII evokes the Haute Couture heritage of the house of Dior, based on timeless elegance.
It evokes, via the very structure of its bracelet, one of the fundamental aspects of the house of Dior, architectural work on a garment so dear to Monsieur Dior.
Like the Lady Dior handbag, with its graphic design, construction and cannage calfskin, this timepiece's Dior personality can also be found in the brilliance and sensuality of the material which give the wristwatch its femininity, the demanding requirements and know-how of a house where the inside must be as beautiful as the outside: visible oscillating weight, sometimes lacquered in black, sometimes in a bright colour. Monsieur said, "Elegance is an ensemble, where the invisible is as important as the visible." The line is a metaphor for a couture house's wardrobe, comprised of day versions, cocktail versions (with coloured baguettes) and evening versions (with the Grand Bal timepieces).
Can we talk about a timeless watch or is it a fashion piece?
In the same way that haute couture epitomises timeless elegance, this watch revisits the codes of the House and imposes the use of a classic watchmaking vocabulary, therefore imposing itself as a long-lasting collection.
Why write the VIII in roman numerals?
Dior's favourite style was the Louis XVI style. The roman numerals are a nod to his taste.
Where are the timepieces made?
Like all the other Dior timepieces, they are designed in the Avenue Montaigne studios then made in Switzerland in the Ateliers Horlogers Dior at La Chaux-de-Fonds, cradle of Swiss watchmaking.
Could you tell us about the new Dior VIII timepieces for 2012?
The Dior VIII story, which began last year, continues [with] new versions in white ceramic. Christian Dior used to say, "White is pure and simple and matches with everything". In haute couture, white has a very special meaning because it is the colour of the toile, the cotton canvas prototype which is the basis for the construction of a dress. Moreover, we are continuing the black story and are proposing a new 28mm diameter, new "snow-set" diamond bezels and are reinforcing our Dior Inverse calibre started last year. Christian Dior once wrote that "Black and white might well suffice, but why deprive oneself of colour? Colours are wonderful and glamourising." We are launching versions with dials that are hemmed with a line of coloured stones. There is also colour in the form of lacquer applied on the oscillating weights, as well as aquamarine, ruby, amethyst and peridot baguettes, even coloured glass on the case-backs.
Tell us about the concealed details?
Christian Dior used to say "Elegance is an ensemble where the invisible is as important as the visible". As in haute couture, Dior takes great care with the details on the linings: the oscillating weights on the automatic versions are lacquered in black or in white for the more day styles or in engraved sapphire crystal and colours for cocktail versions s. The case-backs are also stamped with "VIII Place Vendome".
Tell us about your choice of muse?
The timepiece of the House of Dior had to be represented by a woman. Charlize Theron was the image of the perfume J'adore, she was the natural choice.
Can she be described in a few words?
Feminine, elegant, sensual, strong, luminous, flamboyant, mysterious, with timeless beauty.

This is the certificate they will each get. I think I might run it on white & let them color it. I did not make one in color........raise your hand if you have colored ink??? Yeah, I thought so. Do the ink police work in your office too???
Once upon a time I used to have them do a big project BUT we all know the CCSS police might stop by our hallway. This will be going into their memory/writing binders. I might whip up a sheet to put an actual photo on....a class photo.

Oral health care in the U.S. is primarily paid for by reimbursing providers for procedures, visits, or enrollment in capitation-based systems. Pacific has begun a project to develop an oral health reimbursement and incentive system based on the oral health of the population being served. It is expected that reimbursing providers based on the oral health of the population will result in significantly different activities, including a far greater emphasis on the use of medical and social prevention strategies.
Phase I of the project involves structured interviews with approximately 15 national experts in the areas of oral health measurement systems, data collections systems, reimbursement arrangements and delivery systems design. Phase II is a national policy report on the use of quality improvement measures in the dental profession. The expected release date of the policy report was fall 2011.

Money, Money, Money and Genealogy
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
All of the posts lately about making money or spending it on genealogy reminded me of the 1976 ABBA song. The song became a number-one chart hit in Australia, Belgium, France, West Germany, The Netherlands and New Zealand, while reaching the top three in Austria, Great Britain, Ireland, Norway and Switzerland. This was ABBA's fifth consecutive number-one single in Australia. Wikipedia. The words don't fit the discussion much but, hey, it was a catchy song.
Now, down to business. Just a short time ago I did a post on the demographics of those who read genealogy Blogs and mine in particular. I might note that that demographic group is not known for spending a lot of money. Why do genealogists think they can differentiate their services from any other group in the market place?
Here is an example. Back in the early 90s, I had a Web Design/Graphic Design company. Yes, I was one of the first in my neighborhood to design web pages. We could make money charging people to put up websites. Then, what happened. As the Web matured, everyone got on the bandwagon. I would talk to a potential customer about a website, show some ideas and quote a price. Eventually, I always got the same answer. "Oh, my sixteen year old neighbor knows all about computers and he is doing a site for me." So how does this apply to genealogy?
Have you seen any of the ads on TV for Ancestry.com lately? What is the one thing that they are selling? It can be summarized in one word: EASY. They repeat over and over how easy it is to do genealogy. If it is so easy to do genealogy, then why would any sane person pay big bucks to hire me or anyone else to do the work?
In other words, we have been so successful in convincing the public that what we do is easy, we haven't left anything we can charge for. Genealogists are no different than any other service, most of the customers think the product is too expensive. Genealogy is definitely discretionary spending. No one loses weight from not getting enough genealogy. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average American spends only about 1.8 percent of their income on miscellaneous expenditures. See BLS.gov http://www.bls.gov/cex/#tables That comes out to be roughly about $1000 a year or so depending on age. Everything else comes first.
To be a little bit serious, the issue has three components; the spending habits of the demographic group who would even consider genealogical services, the amount of income that group has to spend on a purely discretionary service, and last, the perceived value of that service as depicted in the media.
In order to make money at genealogy you need to produce a product or service that has a perceived value to the customer. Good Luck, you have an uphill battle.
That said, can you make money? Yes, definitely. Look at the list of specialties on the website of the Association of Professional Genealogists and you will get a good idea of how people are doing just that, differentiating their services to produce a perceived value.

James, you are a jewel, but is there not a little arithmetic problem? You said, "The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average American spends only about 1.8 percent of their income on miscellaneous expenditures. See BLS.gov http://www.bls.gov/cex/#tables That comes out to be roughly about $1000 a year or so depending on age. Everything else comes first."ReplyDelete
Your conclusion suggests average adult annual income is $55,556. The US Census Bureau estimate for 2010 was that ~median~ *household* income in the United States was $46,326 (half above and half below that figure). I am having trouble finding an *average* household income, much less *average* adult income for all adults. So take the median, if there is an average of 1.6 adults per household, then the median adult income would be $29,854. I still think that is way high.
I totally agree with your comment about Ancestry's ads. At a talk given by a representative of Ancestry, the audience (genealogical society members) made it clear what they thought of 'You don't have to know what you're looking for - you just have to start looking' (or similar). Needless to say the representative was unsympathetic, because the whole idea of the ad is to attract newcomers who don't yet know any better.ReplyDelete
The 'fun, profit, career' discussions have been interesting and in many cases quite helpful. My point of view is on Genealogy Leftovers.

NEW YORK (AP) — Columbia University is seeking to change the terms of a 93-year-old trust earmarked for white students from Iowa.
The Lydia C. Roberts Graduate Fellowship stipulates that money be given only to "a person of the Caucasian race" from Iowa.
Roberts left Columbia most of her $509,000 estate when she died in 1920 and created the highly restrictive fellowship. It also stipulates that students must not study law, medicine, dentistry, veterinary surgery or theology. They also must move back to Iowa for a minimum of two years after graduating.
Lucy Drotning, the university's associate provost, filed an affidavit in Manhattan state Supreme Court last week in support of a legal action initiated by the fund's administrator, JPMorgan Chase Bank, seeking to change the terms of the trust. Columbia hasn't awarded the fellowship since 1997 — but the school said it's impossible to know when exactly Columbia stopped adhering to the race-related terms of the gift.
"Columbia long ago ceased awarding the fellowships in question and does not follow gift conditions that violate anti-discrimination laws," the university said in a statement Wednesday. "It should go without saying that a university rightly known for the great diversity of its student body is as offended as anyone by the requirements of these fellowships."
The court papers ask for the whites-only provision to be thrown out and suggest a modification to the Iowa-only rule.
The original trust is designated for graduate students who were born in Iowa and attended a college or university in Iowa. Columbia suggests in its affidavit that the stipulation could be modified so that fellowships could be awarded either to students who are residents of Iowa or to students who graduated from college there.
According to the affidavit, the current value of the trust is $840,000, and it earned $26,000 in income in 2011.

"Helping people transform their dream look into a beautiful reality is my professional passion. Perhaps it requires my assistance to smooth and tone aging skin. Reshape a nose, chin, or neckline. Enhance the bust. Or slim the torso.
I encourage you to discuss your expectations and concerns with me. I want you to feel confident in my surgical skill and assured by my appreciation of the human body as an art form.
I hope that as you read the descriptions of the procedures available, you will be amazed on at least three levels: the remarkable results now possible, that most of them can be performed on an outpatient basis, and how safe they have become.
I look forward to helping you achieve the body image you feel would be most in tune with the essence within." - Dr. Zienowicz
Dr. Zienowicz uses FDA-approved implants so fuller, more flattering breasts no longer come at the price of a natural look and feel. He is experienced with a variety of surgical options, many involving only tiny, hidden incisions. So no matter how much you're noticed . . . his work never is.
Aesthetic Breast Surgery:
· Breast Enlargement: The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. A small incision is made under the breast and a saline implant is inserted under the breast tissue or under the breast tissue and the underlying muscle.
· Breast Lift (Mastopexy): The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under sedation and local or general anesthesia. The design of the incisions can vary but usually include incisions around the nipple-areolar complex and in the crease under the breast. The nipple-areolar complex is repositioned higher, the excess skin is removed, and the breast is reshaped in a pleasing contour and in a more normal position.
· Breast Reduction: The procedure is done under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis or in the hospital. Incisions are made around the pigmented area (the nipple-areolar complex) and extend vertically below the nipple and in the fold under the breast. The nipple-areolar complex is moved upward to the desired location; excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed.
· Breast Implant Removal: Removal of implants. Possible removal of capsules (scar tissue) and residual silicone. Additional procedures that will enhance the result are a Breast Lift (Mastopexy) or Secondary Augmentation Mammoplasty.
Reconstructive Breast Surgery:
· TRAM Flap: A flap of lower abdominal wall fat, muscle (and usually skin), is transferred to the area of missing breast tissue with its own blood supply. In a standard TRAM Flap, the blood supply is within the rectus muscle(s) which is left attached at the lower edge of the rib cage. In a Free TRAM, the blood vessels are reconnected to vessels in the axilla. In a Turbocharged TRAM, the muscle is left attached superiorly, but the inferior vessels are connected in the axilla creating a double blood supply. The abdominal donor site is closed as in a Tummy Tuck, leaving a horizontal scar and a tighter abdomen. An attempt is made to create a "normal" breast mound and shape at the first operation, but subsequent smaller procedures are frequently necessary. Nipple/areolar reconstruction is performed at a later date and is elective.
· Expander: Step one: In the first operation an expander is placed under the skin and chest muscles. Saline is injected into the expander over a period of weeks or months via a "fill port". The overlying skin expands and "grows" with continued expansion. When enough skin is present, the expansion process is terminated. Step two: At the second procedure, the expander is removed and a permanent silicone or saline implant is placed. Possible step three: Nipple areolar reconstruction, if desired, can be completed at a later time. It is possible that adjustment of the pocket where the permanent implant is placed may be appropriate at a future date in order to obtain the best possible result.
· Latissimus: The Latissimus Dorsi Flap operation uses skin and muscle from the upper outer back to replace the missing breast skin and a portion of the breast mass. The flap is kept alive by blood flow through the muscle. An implant is usually (but not always) placed under the flap in order to reconstruct the appropriate breast volume. The implant can be of either the silicone gel or saline type.
Other Procedure performed by Dr. Zienowicz:
Body Contouring & Liposuction:
· Liposuction
· Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
· Thigh-Buttock Lift
· Upper Arm lift
The Face:
· Face Lift
· Lip Enlargement
· Chin Enlargement
· Cheek Implants
· Neck Lift
· Eyelid Lift
· Forehead Lift
· Nose Reshaping
· Nose Reshaping and Correction of Deviated Nasal Septum
· Ear Pinning.
Permanent Hair Removal
Skin and Scars:
· Botox
· Excision of Skin Tumors & Cysts
· Facial Sanding (Dermabrasion)
· Fat Grafting
· Medical Tattooing
· Scar Revision
· Skin Grafting
· Skin Resurfacing (Laser Peel)
· Tissue Expansion
· Umbilicoplasty
· Z-Plasty Scar Revision
Beauty is only skin deep - Inner Beauty goes much deeper . . .
While Dr. Zienowicz' mastery can be appreciated in any mirror, its more profound impact requires greater reflection. Marked by an inner glow, increased self-confidence, and a renewed sense of youthfulness, patients insist it changes their lives. Of course, there's never a reason to change who you are. But when a surgeon's skill can improve the way you feel about who you are, what a gift that is.

McMahon, Murphy's inner circles a sharp contrast
Both sides are armed with advisers they believe will lead them to Washington
In her second attempt to win election to the U.S. Senate, Greenwich millionaire Linda McMahon has assembled a team of the most aggressive, take-no-prisoners Republican political operatives that money can buy.
Among the advisers she has hired are consultants associated with some of the GOP's most successful negative campaigns ever: The 2004 Swift Boat Veterans attacks on U.S. Sen. John Kerry when he was the Democratic presidential candidate and the so-called Willie Horton TV ad of 1988, credited with helping defeat Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis.
On the other side, 5th District Congressman Chris Murphy began his campaign with a much smaller team of advisers, many of them home-grown without a lot of experience in high-stakes races. But in the face of a withering TV assault from McMahon that took its toll on Murphy's approval ratings, the Democrat has now ceded some control of his campaign to Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee operatives from Washington, including its deputy political director, who were rushed to Connecticut to bolster his operation.
McMahon's campaign was well-primed to go after Murphy right after the Aug. 14 primary, and pursue him it did, airing a blitz of TV ads seeking to portray him as financially irresponsible in his personal life and less than diligent in his attention to his congressional duties. The Democrat's initial responses were halting and inconsistent.
"I'm not sure if (Murphy's staff) knew, but they maybe should have been prepared to answer the charges," said Jessica Taylor, senior analyst for the nonpartisan, Washington-based Rothenberg Political Report.
With his retooled staff, Murphy has regained the momentum with some attack ads of his own, hitting McMahon on Social Security and how she ran her family's wrestling business, Stamford-based WWE.
Nonetheless, there remains a stark contrast between the two campaign operations.
More InformationJoin the conversation Please go to our website Sunday to join our two political experts, Democrat Ned Lamont and Republican state Rep. Themis Klarides, as they score the debate between Linda McMahon and Chris Murphy. Jump in the fray with your own comments and observations about the debate, which starts at 11 a.m. Our live blog begins at 10:45 a.m.
McMahon has spent $12 million, her opponent a bit more than $3 million, according to Federal Elections Commission filings that will be updated Oct. 15. The next report will undoubtedly show that McMahon has spent fresh millions.
Her staff is larger and gets paid substantially more. Murphy's staff includes 10 people listed as making between $1,400 and $3,000 a month; McMahon has three employees paid $10,000-$12,000 a month and 17 others receiving between $3,500 and $8,500 a month.
McMahon has a core of more than 20 full-time employees, most of whom have been on the payroll all year, plus more than 100 hourly workers, primarily young people called upon in recent months to appear at public events to support her. Murphy's full-time team includes about 15, about half of whom joined the campaign since June.
Even their offices reflect this contrast.
Murphy's headquarters is in an abandoned piano showroom nestled between a Town Fair Tire and an Edible Arrangements franchise in a Rocky Hill strip mall. It's a single, wide-open room with desks spread around and a few smaller offices on the periphery. The faded remnants of a "Falcetti Music" sign can be seen above the front door, all that remains of the recently shuttered business.
McMahon's North Haven campaign headquarters is on the second floor of a sleek, modern office building with one-way glass and a warren of rooms and cubicles beyond the reception area.
McMahon's and Murphy's staffs declined comment for this story. But it appears inevitable that the final month of the campaign is likely to be a high-decibel fusillade of TV ads, mailings, news releases, online videos and impromptu news conferences. With both parties striving for a U.S. Senate majority -- Democrats control the chamber 53-47 -- Connecticut's once-reliable blue-state status is being tested.
Team McMahon
McMahon's roster of advisers detailed in FEC reports reads like a who's-who of Republican consultants, not only top operatives from the state and the region but veterans of presidential campaigns, including the former head speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan.
At the top is Corry Bliss, McMahon's campaign manager, a lawyer who's been paid $210,000 since signing on in August 2011. He ran an unsuccessful Republican gubernatorial race in Vermont in 2010 that political scientists there called notable for its negative attacks. Former Vermont Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie and Bliss wrote letters of apology to settle a libel lawsuit filed by a developer for their attacks during the campaign against Democratic candidate Peter Shumlin, now the state's governor.
On the payroll are Connecticut political veterans, including Tom Scott, the conservative former state senator from Milford who led the 1991 uprising against the state income tax that brought 40,000 protesters to the state Capitol. Scott joined the campaign in February, making $13,000 a month plus a bonus of $26,000 after McMahon won the Republican endorsement at the party's May convention.
Sullivan & LeShane, a high-octane lobbying and public relations firm located directly across from the Capitol complex in Hartford, led by Patrick Sullivan and his wife, Paddi LeShane, is being paid about $25,000 a month for providing McMahon with strategy. Between August of last year and the last FEC filing deadline in July, the firm earned about $348,000 from McMahon. Sullivan declined comment.
Then there are McMahon's nationally known opposition researchers and advisers, including Larry McCarthy, head of McCarthy Hennings Media Inc., of Washington. As of late June, the company had been paid about $220,000, of which $143,350 came in the month of June.
McCarthy, a major figure in the controversial Super PAC Restore Our Future, was central to the attack ad against Dukakis, the former Massachusetts governor under whose administration a convicted murderer, Willie Horton, was released on a furlough, failed to return and was eventually arrested on assault and rape charges.
Advancing Strategies LLC, of Midlothian, Va., was paid more than $760,000 between July 2011 and the last FEC reporting deadline. Its president, Christopher J. LaCivita, was an adviser to the Swift Boat Veterans group that challenged Kerry's Vietnam War record.
Bently Elliott, a New Canaan communications consultant who was Reagan's lead speechwriter, has been paid $78,000 since joining McMahon's campaign in January. He declined to discuss his role on the campaign.
McMahon also has paid more than 100 hourly staffers up to $1,000 each in recent months for participating in campaign events throughout the state. Most have received one-time checks of a few hundred dollars.
Her full time staff includes a new spokesman, Todd Abrajano, who joined McMahon after a recent GOP primary in Missouri. Previously, Abrajano worked in Kansas during a targeted race in 2004; and for Republican Ross Garber, the party's unsuccessful candidate for Connecticut state treasurer in 2002.
Also on staff are Erin M. Isaac and Katie Bohnett, of Tallahassee, Fla., who have been paid $12,000 and $6,000 a month, respectively, since last November; Justin Clark, of West Hartford, Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Foley's campaign manager in 2010, who is making $10,000 a month; and Katherine Duffy, of New Haven, who is on the payroll for $8,500 a month.
Sunghi Frauen, of Greenwich, the campaign treasurer who joined the campaign in late June, makes $10,000 a month. There were another 15 employees paid between $3,500 and $7,000 a month.
Many on McMahon's team are new from her 2010 race.
"She certainly has retooled her campaign team," said Taylor. "She's a businesswoman, so there had to be some cost-benefit analysis and she brought in a different team of advisers. That's part of what has made her candidacy and it's a race we're watching closely."
Team Murphy
When Chris Murphy's car rolled up to a Meriden nursing home for a campaign event last week, two staffers from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in Washington popped out of the vehicle with him.
While his campaign manager since May 2011, Kenneth Curran, of Waterbury, remains on the job for about $5,500 a month, employees from the DSCC and the office of U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, of Washington state, are strengthening Murphy's Rocky Hill headquarters.
Tim Tagaris, the former Internet director for the Service Employees International Union, who helped engineer Ned Lamont's successful 2006 Democratic primary against U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman, has made about $63,500 advising Murphy, as of the FEC July filing.
Murphy has paid about $120,000 to Washington communications and media advisors Karl Struble and David Eichenbaum, who have worked on Democratic campaigns, including those of Murray and Murphy's previous House races.
Murphy has three fund-raising contractors: Blue State Digital, whose clients have included the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the NAACP and the Communication Workers of America; Allison Baker Griner, a Washington-based planner of Democratic events; and H.M. Consulting, which works for Democrats including U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado. Those firms were paid a total of about $372,000 as of the July FEC deadline.
Murphy's core staff includes spokesman Ben Marter, the communications director for former U.S. Rep. Betsy Markey, of Colorado. Marter is not listed in the current FEC filings. Spokeswoman Taylor Lavender, of Norwalk, a former aide to U.S. Rep Jim Himes, makes about $2,700 a month. Karyn Brockman, the finance director, is paid $6,800 a month.
Since around the time the DSCC began sponsoring issue ads directed against McMahon in mid-September, Eli Zupnick, press secretary for Murray, has become the lead campaign spokesman.
Also new to Murphy's team is Anne Caprara, deputy political director of the DSCC, whose chairman is Murray.
Taylor, of The Rothenberg Report, said it's not that unusual for national party leaders in Washington to parachute staff members to states with tight contests. "But it does reflect that this is a closer race than Democrats initially expected," she said in a recent phone interview.
Last week's Quinnipiac University poll of 1,696 likely voters showed the Senate race is basically tied heading into the crucial final weeks.
On Friday, The Rothenberg Report, which previously had the Connecticut Senate race leaning Democrat, changed its status to a "toss up."

- All the speakers are mounted behind fabric wall coverings, including Everest, S4Ai, and S1S-EX.
- The Everests are placed in separate chambers across the front, well up from the floor and recessed slightly into the walls.
- The S1S-EX subs are placed above the Everest speakers in the front, partiallly obscured due to the shared enclosure's opening not being large enough to allow the whole driver to be open to the room.
- The room has a drop ceiling with standard 2' x 4' white ceiling tiles. Above the ceiling is a warehouse-style open space many times larger than the room.
- The sidewalls appear to be completely or almost completely absorptive, making for a very quiet room; too quiet IMO, deadening the requisite diffusion for good surround and requiring the system to work hard to liven the room.
I almost made the mistake of over deadening my room. I bought enough panels to virtually cover the side walls of the room. Fortunately, Chris straightened me out on that, so it does a really good job of creating an excellent surround sound and stereo sound sense of space far larger than the room.
My far less ambitious-looking room is more coherent. We tested it several times for vibrations and eliminated them. We measured, measured, then measured again, to get the exact placement of the speakers and diffusers.
In the Eargle room, I swear I could hear ceiling tile and ceiling grid noise (rattles, resonances, and vibrations) during the loudest moments. The HVAC system was audible. It kept reminding me I was in a room watching a movie. At home, I forget about the room and don't even think about it until time to turn the lights up.

How fast is 9.58 seconds? Watch this video. I think you'll understand.
The idea comes to us via Craig Robinson of Flip Flop Flying, who offers a musical demonstration of 9.58 seconds that we've mashed up with video of Bolt's race. I'll say this: You can break down Bolt's performance with all the graphs in the world, but none of them will capture the sheer, galactic wonder of 9.58 better than half a Beatles lyric.

WASHINGTON — U.S. officials expressed increasing pessimism Wednesday that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak would be able serve out the remainder of his term.
Mubarak "obviously ... is not going to last until the election," a senior U.S. official told NBC News.
"This is a train out of control now," the official said, adding that "there is nothing we can do now, other than to wait for it and respond appropriately."
Sen. John McCain, who met with President Barack Obama earlier Wednesday, was more blunt.

"The rapidly deteriorating situation in Egypt leads me to the conclusion that President Mubarak needs to step down and relinquish power," McCain said. "It is clear that the only institution in Egypt that can restore order is the army, but I fear that for it to do so on behalf of a government led by or involving President Mubarak would only escalate the violence and compromise the army's legitimacy.
"I urge President Mubarak to transfer power to a caretaker administration that includes members of Egypt's military, government, civil society, and pro-democracy opposition, which can lead the country to free, fair, and internationally credible elections this year as part of a real transition to democracy," McCain added.
Mubarak, in a televised speech on Egyptian state TV, on Tuesday night announced he would not seek a sixth term when his current one expires in September. He earlier announced other moves, including the naming of a vice president, in a bid to pacify critics but rejected protesters' calls that he step down immediately.
The senior U.S. official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said: "The greatest contribution that President Mubarak can make to the cause of democracy in his country is to remove himself from power."
"The best-case scenario is that the protests settle down and the Mubarak transition is accelerated," the official said, and then the world can "begin to see some formation of what the interim government is going to look like before they even get to new leadership."
At his daily briefing Wednesday, State Department spokesperson P.J. Crowley spoke about the pressing need for a transition, saying that "the violence today just underscores how urgent the situation is. The longer that this goes unresolved, the greater the danger of further violence."
Why does Egypt matter?
Egypt, the most populous Arab country, with 80 million people, has been a key ally of the United States in the Middle East. Since the uprising began, however, the U.S. has indicated that it is time for change in Egypt.
Security: Egypt signed peace treaty with Israel in 1979 — the first between an Arab government with the Israelis. The relationship has been key to political stability in the region. Egyptian support was important to the U.S. in the two Gulf wars. Without smuggling across Egyptian border, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip would be in even more dire economic straits. Egypt has played mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and in disputes between Arab nations.
Economy: Egypt governs the Suez Canal, a key shipping route between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. With its wealth of antiquities, it is a major destination for tourists.
Politics: Revolution against the British began in 1952 and a republic was declared in 1953, led by Gamal Abdel Nasser. Anwar Sadat succeeded Nasser and was assassinated in 1981; Hosni Mubarak then took power.
Asked whether the U.S. would like to see the elections in Egypt accelerated, Crowley said, "We want to see free, fair and credible elections. The sooner that can happen, the better."
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs echoed Obama's public call one night earlier for an immediate and orderly transition to democracy in Egypt. Instead the images on TV were of a brutal clash between protesters and Mubarak supporters.
"If any of the violence is instigated by the government, it should stop immediately," Gibbs said, while declining to speculate whether the Egyptian government was in fact behind the violence.
Obama has spelled out what Egypt's transition to free elections should look like, but he has refused to publicly say whether Mubarak should be in charge all the while. Obama has spoken to Mubarak and telephoned world leaders to try to bolster stability in the region, but he cannot stop violence in the streets of Cairo.
An Egyptian official, speaking for Mubarak's government, complained that the U.S. is pressing for Mubarak's swift departure even as the White House publicly urges an orderly transition.
The official, speaking from a location outside Egypt, told The Associated Press that Mubarak's decision not to seek re-election in September was not a result of pressure from Obama, who has spoken with the Egyptian leader twice since the street uprising began more than a week ago.

The official said in a statement: "There is a clear contradiction between an orderly process of transition and the insistence that this process be rushed."
The official spoke on condition of anonymity, saying his government would not allow him to associate his name with the statement.
He said Mubarak, in addition to agreeing not to run again, had appointed a vice president, stated his readiness for dialogue with the opposition and promised changes in the constitution.
"All of those things can't be done if there is a vacuum at the top," the official said.
NBC News' Jim Miklaszewski and Courtney Kube, Reuters, and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Forty Under 40
Brynn Allio Popa, 29
Director, Government and External Relations, Council of Smaller Enterprises
Advocating in the public arena for small, mostly unglamorous businesses may not seem exciting in print, but in real life it's making Brynn Allio Popa very happy and very satisfied.
The John Carroll University grad took a job with a homebuilder after graduating with a degree in political science in 2004. While she loved the job and the people, she said it wasn't quite what she wanted to be doing with her life.
So when she heard of a job opening in 2006 at the Council of Smaller Enterprises, the small business advocacy group affiliated with the Greater Cleveland Partnership, she jumped at it. The job was called product manager, and Ms. Popa's job was to connect member businesses with lower-cost office products and business services.
Very quickly, though, she had what she called "a light bulb moment" and began to make it known that she was interested in moving over to COSE's advocacy office. That office examines public policy issues and helps shape political decisions the organization will take.
A government relations manager job opened up in May 2008.
"I kind of find my way," she said. "I found the passion I had for public policy with small business advocacy."
In 2009 she got her a master's degree in public administration from Cleveland State University. Then in early 2010 she moved up to director of government and external relations.
Steve Millard, COSE's president and executive director, said Ms. Popa's success as a product manager "and her completion of her MPA led us to give her a try in our public policy work, and we have not looked back."
The transition has worked out well for her and for the organization, too.
"Brynn has an enthusiasm and optimism about her work that is contagious," Mr. Millard said. "She has a tenacious work ethic and a real interest in making a personal contribution to the success of small business."
Ms. Popa, 29, said she realizes her contribution on issues that sometimes have economy-wide importance may be small, but it's still satisfying to her.
"I come from a generation that is very mission-based in our professional choices, so I thought I needed to find something I had a connection with," she recalled. "I set goals high but I celebrate the tiny chips away at the iceberg."
