In an age of constant tech-

nological advancement

and invention, we find

ourselves battling old prob-

lems with new ammunition.

One such problem is the issue

of what bacteria produce on

the surface of a wound......a

sort of slime layer called

BIOFILM. Universa lly, bac-

terial produce a biofilm to in-sulate themselves from

elements that would destroy

the bacteria. The presence of

the biofilm makes topical an-

tibiotics and systemic antibi-

otics (oral or intravenous) less

effective in destroying the

bacteria, thus allowing them

to continue microscopic lev-

els of infection and destruc-

tion of healthy tissue.

Soon to come to marketwill be a first of its kind drug

that targets the biofilm with-

out destroying healthy tissue.

The drug works by weakening

bacteria by depriving the

bacteria of nutrition, thus

making the production of

biofilm less possible. With-

out the biofilm, standard top-

ical antibiotics would easily

eradicate bacteria it normally

could not. This drug would

be safe in conjunction with

other wound healing therapiesand products.

Another exciting advent

soon to come will be a probe

that can measure the bacterial

burden (in thousands per

cubic centimeter) of any tis-

sue surface. The product,

soon to be released in Europe,

will be a swab based rapid of-

fice test that will help clini-

cians render judgment on a

wound as having more or lessbacteria as a definite number.

Whats exciting is that the ef-

fects of the treatment deliv-

ered can be quantified in 2 or

4 weeks with a second swab

measuring and comparing the

bacterial count from prior vis-

its to current visits. How this

will modify clinician behavior

is that topical treatments that

fail (as bacterial counts con-

tinue to rise despite use of a

topical therapy) will be recog-nized earlier and alternative

antibacterial regimens (oral or

intravenous) can be initiated

at an earlier point in the

process of care.

Lastly, the generalized

acceptance, that higher than

normal levels of oxygen ten-

sion for tissues deprived of

oxygen can be limb and life

saving, has come to many

peoples awareness. Throughappropriate application of hy-

perbaric oxygen, one can en-

It appears, for the moment

that there was bipartisansupport to pass a bill allow-

ing our government not to de-

fault on interest payments to

holders of US Government Se-

curities and not to furlough

workers or shut down the gov-

ernment, at least for the near

term future. By raising the debt

ceiling $2.5 trillion dollars, to

$17,000,000,000, 000.00 we ap-pear to be safe for the moment.

However, what is the total cost

in terms of individual citizens

and their obligation to reduce

this insurmountable pile of obli-

gations for multiple past admin-

istrations run amok and thrust

on our backs?

Where is the list of spend-

ing cuts that the Republicansdemanded? If any Board of Di-

rectors ran their company like

our federal officials and politi-

cians run the US government,

they would all be in jail! For me,

the writing on the wall is crys-

tal clear. The unwillingness of

both parties to reach the con-

clusion of immediate budget

cuts nor any impactful deficit

reductions will lead to major tax

increases for the rich as well as

the middle class period! Inaddition, reductions in Social

Security payments and

Medicare benefits are virtually a

guarantee. Wage earners will

face greater Social Security tax-

ation by rising tax rates and the

increase or elimination of the

wage cap, currently $106,000.

Ages of eligibility will be pushed

out further and as Ive stated in

this column before, an eligibil-

ity test will be initiated, either

income or asset based, or both!According to the 1935 Social

Security Act, Congress can

change, modify or repeal Social

Security altogether! The point

is that our national pension sys-

tem isnt guaranteed! Most of

the money we are paying into

the system now goes right out

the door to current collecting

retirees, not into a Social Secu-

rity bank account for us!

Do you have a pensionplan? Worried about its survival,

longevity, cost of living in-

creases etc., you should be.

Some pension plans can be

modified for current retirees if

continued payments would

jeopardize the stability, solvency

or viability of the plan for future

retirees. The Federal Guaran-

tee fund that insures these pen-

sion plans is so severely

underfunded that if just a hand-ful of large pension plans failed,

the fund would be exhausted.

After cash for clunkers and

other failed federal stimulus

packages, is there any room in

the budget for a guaranteed pen-

sion fund bail-out? Ill let you

answer that question for your-

self.

As you are aware, most

companies have gotten away

from traditional defined benefit

retirement plans (pensions) and

replaced them with definedcontribution plans (401ks)

placing the burden of retire-

ment funding solely on the

backs of the employees and not

the employers. Let me ask a

question here. What formal ed-

ucation did you have or receive

from any source, on the proper

way to fund and allocate a 401k

retirement plan? Probably none

right? Question number two,

what formal education did youhave or receive from any source

on the proper way to withdraw

Amajor part of reduc-

ing your electric con-sumption is knowing

what is consuming your energy.

And getting that bill at the

end of every month is frustrat-

ing, because you are usually

surprised by the amount, and

its usually not pleasantly sur-

prised. When we buy gro-

ceries, we know how much the

bill is. When we buy gas, un-

fortunately, we know how

much that bill is. But our elec-tric bill is one of the few that

we have no control over. We

get the bill at the end of each

monthly billing period and

wonder how it got that

highuntil now.

There are several prod-

ucts that can help us under-

stand what our appliances,

electronic devices, lights, air

conditioning and all other

electronics are costing us.Were going to discuss the eas-

iest and most inexpensive

product to use for this.

Its called a Kill A Watt.A play on words,

this device plugs

into any outlet

in your home or

business. Then

you plug in one

of your electron-

ics, such as a TV,

refrigerator, a

light, a toaster

oven, or what-

ever plugs into astandard socket. The Kill A

Watt calculates the energy

your device uses, but more im-

portantly, the cost of your de-

vice hourly, daily, weekly,

monthly and for the entire

year. Its a smart device that

takes the guesswork out of how

much everything costs you in

electricity.

Now you can cut down

on costs and find out what ap-pliances are actually costing

you to keep plugged in. Simply

connect these appliances to

the Kill A Watt, and it willassess how effi-

cient they really

are. The large

LCD display will

count consump-

tion by the kilo-

watt hour, same

as your local util-

ity. You can also

check the quality

of your power by

monitoring Volt-age, Line Frequency, and

Power Factor. Now youll

know if it is time for a new re-

frigerator or if that old air con-

ditioner is still saving you

money. With the amazing Kill

A Watt youll know Wattskilling you.

Cant plug something in?

Well, there is a solution to that

too. If you want more informa-

tion, watch for a future article,

or stop by our store. Well be

happy to show you more!

this and other energy saving

devices, come to Solar & More

ucts you buy them in a state of

Despite incredible ad-

vances in dentistry

over the past thirty

years, dentists face a new

challenge to their success inmanaging and treating your

bacteria-related oral health

problems: Stress! Doctors

consider stress to be a cause

(or at least factor) to not only

cardiovascular, autoimmune

and mental diseases, but alsodental issues. While stress re-

lated dental problems were

known to ancient societies

thousands of years ago, recent

upturns in stress levels among

people are making these oral

health issues much morecommon. Stress may affect

dental health in several dif-

ferent ways:

IMMUNITY: Stress can re-

duce the bodys immunity to

disease by changing the pro-

duction of the normal inner

steroid from the suprarenal

glands. This produces a mal-

function in our cells .They

are unable to oust foreign

bodies like bacteria when

they invade the body. Since

immune cells are the bodys

first line of defense, this is notgood. As a result, gingivitis

and gum disease are likely to

develop among stressed indi-

viduals. Forms of tooth decay

are also commonly reported

in stressed patients.

GRINDING &

CLENCHING: Most grind-

ing and clenching occurs dur-

ing sleep, so a large

percentage of grinders and

clenchers dont even realize

they are doing it. Grinding

and clenching increase the

frequency of contact betweenthe upper and lower teeth, es-

pecially at night. While upper

and lower teeth are typically

in contact 20-30 minutes

each day, those who clench

and grind make upper-lower

contact several hours a day.

While this habit, called bux-

ism, may be annoying, it may

also lead to dental health is-

sues such as:

HEADACHES: Tenderness,

fatigue, and spasm in the

muscles of the face and neck,

which may result in

headaches.

TMJ: Damage to the tem-

poromandibular joint in front

of the ear. TMJ may cause

minor problems like clicking

when opening and closing the

mouth, or may present moreseverely by preventing the

lower jaw from functioning

properly.

DISTORTION: If clenching

and grinding become chronic,

the cheek muscles may en-

large or swell, which can re-

sult in facial distortion.

There is no pain quite

like it. Once experi-

enced, most people

never forget the pain of a rib

being out. Acute rib pain is

typically felt as a savagely sharp,

debilitating pain just to one side

of the spine and usually between

the shoulder blades. Exacer-

bated by head, arm or torso

movement, the pain can be so

severe breathing is shallow and

restricted, and no position -

lying, sitting or standing - pro-

vides any significant relief.

Chronic rib pain, though less se-

vere and far less debilitating,

can also be a significant prob-

lem for many people, and is typ-

ically experienced as a constant,

deep, dull throb or ache that

persists despite exercise and

stretching. What are the causes

of rib pain, and how is it best

treated?

The rib cage is made up of

12 pairs of ribs and functions to

protect the lungs and heart. Italso serves as an attachment for

the diaphragm, making breath-

ing possible. The first 10 pairs of

ribs are attached to the breast-

bone. The lowest two pairs of

ribs are called the floating ribs

because they attach only to

muscle at the front. Moveable

joints, like those between the

vertebrae, attach the ribs to the

spine, enabling us to breath,

twist and turn. Occasional ly,

these costovertebral joints

may lose their normal move-

ment or become fixed in an ab-

normal position. The result is

rib pain, acute if the joint be-

comes extremely irritated or

dull if the irritation is minor.

Costovertebral joint dysfunc-

tion can also put strain on the

cartilage at the front of the rib

cage. Pain may be felt at the

junction between the rib and

the cartilage or between the car-

tilage and the breast bone.

Most rib pain is due to two

main factors: chronic postural

faults and trauma. Traumatic

causes do not only involve in-

jury from accidents (ie: car acci-dents, major falls or blows to the

back). Rib pain can also result

from microtrauma, such as

repetitive strain injury. These

underlying factors of posture

and trauma predispose the spine

and ribcage to irritation. The

triggers which may cause pre-

disposed costovertebral joints to

become irritated and painful

typically include reaching,

twisting, minor falls, or activi-

ties such as archery or curling

which use the middle back and

rib cage as a fulcrum. Neck

problems are often another

source of rib irritation, usually

the result of incorrect head po-

sition (abnormal posture) or

trauma.

Chiropractors specialize in

the detection and correction of

postural and functional joint

problems. If you suspect you

Matthew graduated with honors from New YorkUniversity in 1997 and began a satisfying career inorthopedics specializing in spine rehabilitation. Ever

keen to learn and do more for his patients Matthew began

studying diligently for his certification in Orthopedic ManualTherapy.

Matthew has also had the thrill of studying with world-renowned therapists Brian Mulligan and David Butler, furtherexpanding his clinical skills into more diverse orthopedic and

nerve injury treatments. Not to be missed, Matthew alsotrained in the McKenzie Diagnosis and treatment of the spine.Matthew believes the combination of this training andeducation in the Australian, New Zealand and Americantreatment strategies have allowed him to provide broaderrange of treatment options thereby helping more patients.

Matthew has been a Director of Physical Therapy for 8years, helping develop spine and sports clinics into leaders intheir respective communities. He is excited and eager to bringhis skills to the Advanced Sports Medicine & PhysicalTherapy Center which specializes in:

You use your car exten-

sively for business, but

do you get as much

mileage out of your tax deduc-

tions?

Taxpayers who use auto-

mobiles in business can deduct

certain costs related to the ve-

hicles acquisition and mainte-

nance.

But determining how and

when you claim expenses can

produce significantly different

results.

With the help of a profes-

sional you can understand and

sort through the complicated

issues surrounding business

claims on personal vehicles,

including

Quantifying how much you

use your personal vehicle for

business purposes. Special

rules apply if you use your car

50% or less in your business.

Determining which ex-

penses are deductible and

which are not. Regular com-

muting to and from work is not

deductible, but when the vehi-

cle is used for business travel

items such as oil, gas, insur-

ance, parking fees, and tolls

are.

Choosing between claiming

actual expenses and using the

standard mileage rate. The

dollar amount of your vehicle

operating costs determines

which option is better for you.

No matter which method you

choose it is important that you

keep track of your auto

mileage.

Standard Mileage Rate

has increased from July 1, 2011

to December 31, 2011 taxpay-

ers can deduct 55.5 cents per

mile for business miles, and

23.5 cents per mile for medical

and moving expenses. These

rates are up from fifty-one

cents and nineteen cents re-

spectively, while the per-mile

deduction for charitable ex-

penses remains fixed at four-

teen cents.

Calculating the depreciation

of your vehicle. Learn how a

special rule, when in effect, al-

lows an additional first-year

depreciation deduction and an

increase to the annual limita-

tion amount, affects you.

sions means fewer headaches

at tax time and greater benefit

to you. Learn the business of

Flat foot also known as pes

planus, is a condition

where the inside of the

foot lacks an arch. This is one

of the most common foot defor-

mities affecting approximately

25% of the U.S. population af-

fected. Some people with flat

feet may experience problems

that limit their activities, while

others are competitive athletes.

It is important to differentiate a

normal flexible flat foot from

other serious foot problems. A

rigid flat foot is a more serious

problem that is often caused by

a bony deformity such as a fu-

sion of one or more bones of the

foot. An orthopedist or podia-

trist can appropriately diagnose

the type of foot deformity. The

good news is that the vast ma-

jority of children do not have a

fixed deformity and require

only conservative treatment.

All children are born with

flexible flat feet, a condition in

which the arch of the foot

shrinks or disappears when they

stand. Most children eventu-

ally develop a normal arch,

however some do not. When a

childs flat foot posture persists

between the ages of six and ten,

it indicates a permanent condi-

tion. At this time immediate

intervention is recommended

to encourage normal develop-

ment of the arch and to prevent

pelvic and spinal postural defor-

mities. This is especially true

when one foot is flatter than

the other. Unbalanced forces

occurring during physical activ-

ity can result in significant

trauma to the foot/ankle, knees,

hips and back.

A pediatric physical thera-

pist should evaluate the child

with flat feet in order to assess

the flexibility of the Achilles

tendon, degree of pronation,

strength of the tibialis posterior

muscle and determine the need

for custom made orthotics.

Children with flat feet often ex-

hibit tight calve muscles or

Achilles tendons that need to

be stretched. When the

Achilles tendon is tight, it

causes the foot to drop down or

plantarflex. The body tries to

compensate by pronating or

flattening the inside of the foot.

In addition the child may

demonstrate weakness of one or

more of the muscles in the calf

including the tibialis posterior

muscle. Along with stretching,

exercises and manipulation, or-

thotics is another component

of the treatment. At Kids

Therapy Center we coordinate

care by a licensed orthotist who

is able to create molds for the

foot in the convenient setting

of our clinic. The use of or-

thotics provide corrective sup-

port that encourages normal

development while preventing

further deformity and reducing

abnormal kinetic chain stresses

on the pelvis, and spine during

the formative years. Surgery is

rarely required for this condi-

tion and is reserved only for the

severe types of flat foot that do

not respond to conservative

therapy.

physical therapist, who brings

over five years of experience to

childhood intervention, Gena is

Obesity is a growing

problem in todays so-

ciety. Our feline

friends are no exception. The

difference is that they rely on us

to regulate their food and exer-

cise. Obesity is a condition that

is both preventable and treat-

able but requires some effort and

patience. The rewards are hav-

ing your cat live a healthy

happy and most importantly,

longer life.

Prevention is much easier

than taking off the excess

weight once it is there. Just like

people, the name of the game is

diet and exercise. I am an advo-

cate of keeping your cat indoors

so this doesnt mean to start let-

ting him/her outside but dedi-

cate some time everyday to play

with your cat. Not only will it

provide exercise but also stimu-

lation. Two favorite types of toys

are string toys or laser lights.

The other component of

prevention is diet. First, with

the assistance of your veterinar-

ian, an appropriate food should

be chosen. Cats need different

types and amounts of food dur-

ing their life stages. This does

not include table food or exces-

sive amounts of treats. The

biggest mistake is feeding your

cat free choice, i.e. just keeping

the bowl full. Some cats regu-

late their intake but most will

overeat therefore its best

to provide food in meas-

ured meals.

The most objective

way to tell if your cat is

overweight is to have

your veterinarian assign a

body condition score. Ba-

sically two things are as-

sessed. One, the ribs

should be felt easily with

only a slight amount of fat

over them. Two, look at your

cat from above and from the

side at the area between the last

rib and hindlegs, they should

have a definite waist or hour-

glass shape.

Overweight cats have

many of the same health risks as

overweight people. One of the

most common complications of

obesity in cats is diabetes. One

of the early signs of diabetes are

an increase in thirst or urina-

tion. Other health risks include

arthritis, heart disease, liver dis-

ease, urinary obstruction in

males and skin problems. All

these can contribute to a de-

creased quality and length of

life.

If your cat is indeed over-

weight, it is time to start a

weight reduction program now.

As we all know, theres no quick

fix for weight loss. The first step

is to have your cat examined by

a veterinarian prior to initiating

a weight control program.

Since certain medical condi-

tions can cause obesity in cats,

it must be determined if there is

an underlying cause or if there

are other conditions present,

which could complicate

weight loss. Your veteri-

narian can also help you

determine a realistic

weight goal. It is important

to understand the process

may take a long time be-

cause even a small amount of

weight loss is a large percentage

of the cats overall body weight.

Plus, rapid weight loss in over-

weight cats is risky because it

can result in liver disease called

hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver).

The focus of the weight

loss program is the same as with

prevention: diet and exercise.

There are two main ways to cut

down on calories: feed less of

the food the cat is currently eat-

ing or switch to a weight reduc-

tion diet. Table scraps also need

to be eliminated and treats min-

imized. Feeding less may just

entail measuring meals instead

of free choice but weight loss

foods are usually more success-

ful. Weight loss diets are typi-

cally either low calorie/high

fiber or low carb/high protein.

They can provide reduced calo-

ries and also keep your cat satis-

fied so theyre not waking you

up to be fed. Exercise programs

for cats seem more difficult than

those for dogs. Trying new toys,

initiating playtime and getting

the whole household involved

are important.

All this hard work will

keep your cat happier, healthier

and you can enjoy a longer life

together. For more information,

Cancer is the great

equalizer. No one is

immune. Not even

Dr. Harry Long.

Though cancer is a real-

ity we all live with, whether

indirectly or directly, no one

is ever ready for a diagnosis.

Dr. Harry Long was shocked

at diagnosed in 2009. A rou-

tine physical showed that his

PSA score had risen. A subse-

quent biopsy revealed cancer

cells in his prostate. Thank-

fully, after robotic surgery, Dr.

Long was able to beat out his

cancer and recover in just a

few months. But not all are so

lucky, and Long wants to do

something about that.

Several months ago, Dr.

Longs son introduced him to

the Pan-Massachusetts Chal-

lenge, a two-day 192 mile

bike ride used to promote

cancer awareness and re-

search fundraising. Each year,

5,200 cyclists join together to

ride from Sturbridge, Massa-

chusetts to Provincetown,

Massachusetts. In the process,

these cyclists raise over $33

million dollars for the Dana-

Farber Cancer Center in

Boston. The Dana-Farber

Cancer Center is one of the

premier cancer clinics in the

world. In 1947, Dr. Sidney

Farber founded the Childrens

Cancer Research Foundation

to begin research into devel-

oping treatments for early

childhood cancers. Today it

remains a front runner for

cancer research and treat-

ment. Not long after learning

of the challenge and the op-

portunity to raise money for

cancer research, Harry Long

and his son decided to partic-

ipatea nearly $10,000 com-

mitment! Each man is

required to raise $4,200 to

enter.

Dr. Long and his son will

ride on the Cape Cod Sea

Camp team, a diverse team of

twenty riders from all over

the east coast who come to-

gether each August to raise

money for the Dana-Farber

Cancer Center. This year, the

Cape Cod Sea Camp team

will break the million dollar

mark for the first time in ten

years. If you would like to

make a donation to the Dana-

Farber Cancer Center and

help Dr. Harry Long and his

son raise the necessary funds,

please visit PMC.ORG and

look for rider: Harry Long.

Please contribute any amount

you are comfortable with.

Your contribution may make

the difference in the life of

someone fighting this terrible

disease.

Boston Louis JewelersSince 1987A Great Local Success Story

It all started back in the eighties with two localkids looking to make a few extra bucks afterschool. Kenny Boston and Louis Buddy Mazzo

first met in the former Lincoln Park Boy Scouttroop #170 and stayed friends throughout HighSchool. Meeting again while in college theydiscovered that they were both involved in thejewelry business. At the time Buddy was helpingat his grandfathers jewelry casting companyand Kenny had been working in NYCs Dia-mond District and studying gemology. Both haddeveloped a lot of contacts in the industry andthought it might be fun to start a project to make

some extra money. Before long their hobbywhich they started with only $200, explodedand became their full-time careers. Decadeslater, their business is still continuing to grow.

The Difference Experience MakesWith nearly 60 years of working in the jew-

elry field between them, Kenny and Buddy haveseen just about everything and dealt with justabout every issue a jeweler can face.

What gives them an extra edge in this highlycompetitive market is that they still operate thefamily jewelry factory,

blending four generations in jewelry manufac-turing with the meticulous and creative eye of agemologist/designer.

As their long time customers know, Kenny andBuddy take great pride in their work and would

rather turn away a customer than lead themdown a path that they know will not benefitthem. Their true love though is the creation ofunique high quality pieces of jewelry

WHAT? YOU HAVENT SOLD YOUR OLDGOLD YET?????Whats the big deal?

Everywhere you look you see advertisementstelling you to sell your gold or unwanted jewelry.

For those of you who havent jumped on thisCash for Gold bandwagon yet and wonderwhat the big deal is, here is an explanation:

Over the past 20 years or so, pure gold (24K)has stayed in the range of $300 to $400 perounce.

Lets say you bought a 14K gold chain in2002 for $100 and then a week later you dis-cover that your dog chewed it up beyond re-pair. If you wanted to sell the chain back for

the scrap value of the gold, chances are youwould have gotten around $25 to$30, which would be about 25 to 30percent of the purchase price.

At the penning of this article, gold is floatingin the range of $1600 per ounce. This is thehighest gold has ever been, and about fourtimes as expensive as it was in 2002. So re-turning to that dog mangled chain example, you

would now get back more than at you originallypaid for it back in 2002, no matter the condi-tion!

For those of you who need to pay off bills oroff-set the increasing price of everything thesedays, this is one aspect of the bad economywhere you can actually profit. There is a lot ofmoney to be had for gold, silver and platinumitems you no longer wear. Surprisingly, noweven items that are gold filled such as com-

pany and school pins, old cuff links and watchbracelets have value. Just a few years ago theseitems would have literally been thrown away!

The new rising star is silver at roughly $40per ounce, with great money being offered forold silverware, jewelry, and other formal servingpieces.

Unlike a lot companies who have only re-cently jumped on this Gold Buying band-wagon, we have been buying estate pieces,

diamonds, silver and old jewelry for over 25years and consider it one of our areas of expert-ise. We offer sellers top dollar in a pressure-free, private, and respectful environment.

Stress and yourteethcontinued from page 6

Having bowed legs is

not without conse-

quences. Some of the

most talented and gifted ath-

letes may have a variation of a

condition called genu varum.

In training rooms, there are

even theories that it allows

them to run faster and with

greater power. When these

athletes get older, however,

they may be susceptible for nu-

merous problems including os-

teoarthritis.

In an individual with

bowed legs, the medial (or in-

side) parts of their knees expe-

rience a substantially higher

amount of force with walking

and exercising. In contrast, a

person with straighter knees

have a more even distribution

of forces, medially and lateral ly,

when weight bearing. Over

the years, the repetitive weight

bearing forces concentrated pri-

marily in the medial aspect of

the knee significantly in-

creases the likelihood of dam-

aging the cartilage surface

and/or sustaining a meniscus

tear. Untreated, diffuse de-

generative cartilage damage,

or osteoarthritis will likely set

in.

Although total knee re-

placement is an excellent so-

lution in older patients, it is

not an ideal treatment form

for patients younger than the

age of 50. First, after a total

knee replacement, we ask pa-

tients to significantly change

their lifestyles to avoid impact

activities such as running. Sec-

ondly, the implants have finite

lifetimes and wear out typically

in 15 to 20 years. At that

point, the patients will often

need a revision total knee re-

placement.

Especially in our more ac-

tive patients, a total knee re-

placement just is not an option

that they will consider. We

usually start off by trying an in-

jection option such as viscosup-

plementation (Synvisc,

Orthovisc), and more recently,

PRP (platelet rich plasma) in-

jection. Unfortunately, in the

severely bowed legged individu-

als, these options may help only

minimally.

One alternative solution is

a procedure called High Tibial

Osteotomy (HTO). The op-

eration is essentially to cut the

bone, re-aligning the leg to

make it straight, and to hold

the cut bone in its new position

with plates and screws. The op-

eration is actually very preci-

sion dependent: we use

numerous cutting jigs and

alignment guides to ensure that

the new position is correct to

the millimeter. More recently,

there has been a trend towards

an opening wedge osteotomy,

where we use artificial graft

(synthetic bone substitute tis-

sue) to fill the gap, after cutting

the bone and changing the

angle. The result of the opera-

tion is a much straighter knee,

where the weight bearing force

is away from the osteoarthritic

medial compartment. Further-

more, the advantage is that the

patients can return to all sports

activities with no restrictions.

They have essentially kept their

own knee joints, but with

straighter legs.

tirement years. To steal a phrase

from the Declaration of Inde-

pendence, We The People are

truly independent to succeed or

fail in our quest to achieve fi-

nancial independence. We the

People will dictate the quality

of our retired lives based on our

vigilance in this endeavor, de-

termined by the quality and

quantity of invested dollars,

time and the effort we intend to

expend on planning for our own

future period.

With that said we must re-

member to live below, not

within our means. We must

learn to invest and save thou-

sands and if you are able, tens of

thousands, every year for the

long-term. We can only depend

and count on ourselves and

what is most alarming, the gov-

ernment will not remain a neu-

tral party in our quest to pros-

perity; in fact they will be a

spoiler, taxing us at every turn

along the road to financial inde-

pendence. They will tax our

earnings, our savings, our accu-

mulations our retirement with-

drawals, and again in its

entirety, our entire net-worth at

death. I further predict they will

tax our spending via a national

sales tax in addition to income

and capital gains taxes. Lest we

forget the fiscal condition of the

State in which we reside. The

necessity to increase revenue

through taxation, because, the

NJ government refuses to cut

spending by any significant de-

gree, follows the Federal lead.

Local taxes continue to increase

unabated by any worthwhile

spending cuts as well. This is a

scary set of circumstances and

since we are basically defense-

less and proven powerless to en-

tice our elected representatives

to cut to the bone, the most

logical solution is simply to have

more money. We must: earn

more, save more and invest

more in order to: grow more,

spend more and enjoy more.

Sounds like a plan to me! Hows

your plan doing in light of the

deficit, the compromise, the

way of the future? Want a sec-

ond opinion? Give me a call.

The call and the appointment

are free. You never know, you

might learn something to win

the race to financial independ-

ence and to stay that way!

Students who love to sing

and perform are discov-

ering the benefits of

choir and chorus programs at

school after a popular television

show has proven inspirational.

Viewers really havent

been treated to a show about

performing students since

Fame aired for five seasons,

beginning in 1982. Since

Glee debuted in Septemberof 2009, it has revitalized inter-

est in show choirs and become

an influential part of pop cul-

ture.

For those unfamiliar with

Glee, the show follows the

story of high schoolers who

team up and perform in a suc-

cessful show choir group called

New Directions. Revisiting

the stereotypes that made Brat

Pack movies like The Break-fast Club popular in the 1980s,

the television show pits the

personalities of jocks, drama

queens, eccentrics, cheerlead-

ers, and other high school sta-

ples against one another.

Although an integral part of

the show is the musical num-

bers the students perform, the

songs are interwoven into the

core theme of each episode,

and help tell the stories of the

students and teachers facing

difficult issues from bullying

to intolerance to teenage preg-

nancy.

Glee has quickly be-

come the 90210 for the cur-

rent generation of high schoolviewers, but its appeal goes be-

yond hot-button issues and

risqu subject matter. Many of

the shows avid fans tune in

each week for the music and to

see the talented cast put its spin

on songs of today and yester-

year. Glee has even helped

spark renewed interest in per-

formance arts programs in

schools across the country.

High school vocal directorsacross the country have re-

ported increased interest and

participation in show choirs. In

a report in The Daily Iowan,

West High music director Ryan

Person noted an upsurge in

choir participation, particularly

among male students a

group of participants that was

often difficult to attract.

According to Joel Biggs,

president of FAME Events, a

private company that puts on

show choir events and compe-

titions, roughly 20 new high

school choir programs emerged

within the last year. He credits

Glee for the rise in interest,

and says there are more than

300 show choir groups now in

schools around the country.

The Glee Effect, as it has

been dubbed, could give re-

newed hope to arts educators in

schools that have seen budget

cuts slash music programs

across the board. Students ral-

lying for show choirs say that

they provide something for

everyone, especially the stu-

dent who doesnt know how to

apply his or her talent. Show

choirs and theater groups need

performers, directors, set de-

signers, costume designers, cho-

reographers, advertisers, and a

host of other roles in order to

be successful. Students are no

longer being swayed by the

negative stereotypes surround-

ing show choir participation of

the past.

Glee is just one of many

shows focusing on performance

arts that could be responsible for

the upswing in auditions and in-

terest in performing in high

school. Camp Rock 2, Amer-

ican Idol, Dancing With the

Stars, and Americas Got Tal-

ent, is part of the collective

group of television focusing in

on the arts and inspiring new

generations of students.

Aglass coffee table,

white leather sofa

and expensive ce-

ramic statues are popular

and attractive design op-

tions. But such items areoften impractical for a

household with an active

family. Decorating when

there are one or more kids

residing in a home doesnt

have to mean vinyl furni-

ture you hose down or plas-

tic on the sofa. But smart

choices can make rooms

look beautiful and be func-

tional.

In the not-so-distantpast, many homeowners

kept a display living

room. It was the room in the house that had expensive

breakables and white car-

peting perfectly vacuumed

into a footprint-free pat-

tern. This was an off-limits

room reserved only for spe-

cial occasions. The childrenof the house were often for-

bidden to step foot inside.

Today, many people have

revised their thoughts on

rooms of the house pre-

ferring all rooms be used

even if it means modifying

the decor to do so.

Active families will re-

quire a design style that fits

with their lifestyle, not vice

versa. That means individ-uals should examine how

they live and fashion rooms

accordingly. These designs will

have to take into account that

children often have accidents,

get into things they shouldnt

touch, and entertaining com-

pany will lead to stains, and

perhaps pets will cause theirown mayhem.

A number of todays fab-

rics are forgiving to greasy fin-

gerprints or accidental spills.

Microfiber sofas often clean up

well, and leather options may

wipe down easily. Select colors

that mask stains. Darker-col-

ored shades or patterns are

more forgiving than light beige

or white. Consider purchasing

the warranty protection that

many stores offer on furniture

in the event a stain or tear oc-

curs. Chances are it can be

mended or replaced under the

warranty.

Many parents worry about

sharp edges or fragile items in

living areas. This can be reme-

died by choosing rounded de-

signs that are easier on limbs

and heads should falls occur.

Consider an upholstered ot-

toman to serve as a coffee table

instead of something wood or

metal. Not only will it be soft,

many ottomans have flip-up

covers where toys or extra pil-lows and such can be stowed

away. They also double as extra

seating when guests come

around.

Rustic, weathered design

styles often fit in well with ac-

tive families. Thats because,

should a scratch or gouge occur,

it blends in with the design.

Avoid frilly fabrics in lieu of

simple, streamlined designs.

This reduces the dirt and dustaccumulation thats common

with kids and pets in the home.

Dont overload furniture

and shelving with a ton of

knick-knacks. It gives you more

work in dusting and cleaning

and gives kids a greater number

of things to touch and poten-

tially break.

Consider hardwood fl-oors

or tile. Should spills or acci-

dents occur, they can bemopped up rather easily. This

way you dont have to contend

with or worry about damaged

and stained carpeting.

Here are some other family-

friendly design tips.

Choose a paint color and fin-

ish that hides scuffs and stains.

Semi-gloss finishes may be

wiped down to clean off some

items, like crayon or dirt. In a

childs room, consider painting
