“I am happy as can be! It is wonderful to have no back pain after the Laser Treatments from Dr. Srini”………

Robert Russell who is still back pain free at 8 months after treatment, is the world’s first patient to receive the minimally invasive Deep Tissue Low Intensity Laser Therapy (DT-LILT™) for failed back surgery syndrome. DT-LILT™ involves a new contact laser device for selectively destroying the C pain fibers while leaving the healthy tissues intact. DTLILT™ is invented by Dr. Srini and is first of its kind in the world. DT-LILT™ is NOT FDA approved and is available only at Advanced Interventional Pain Center.

“ I would say the future of pain care is here. With terrible leg pain I had hardly played any golf for the last 2 years. After getting just one treatment from Dr. Srini, I cannot believe that I completed the entire 18 holes with absolutely no pain ”…..

Otis Oliver, after permanent pain relief from peripheral vascular pain. He does not require surgery.

“ I had severe tail bone pain and sciatica after falling on a hard object. For five years I had suffered in severe pain visited many treatment facilities and have spent over $ 60,000 in treatments without any pain relief. I am simply delighted that after just one treatment I am pain free”….. Barbara Wolfe, one year after treatment.

“My knees are 100% pain free without surgery after Dr. Srini’s treatment and I feel 10 years younger!”.........

Mary Flora (Kokomo, IN)

(Medicare Accepted)

301 E Carmel Drive, Suite D‐100, Carmel, IN 46032; Tel: 317‐641‐5183

“ Over three years I have suffered from terrible headaches, I also had low back pain. I was told there was no hope for my pain condition and was put on addictive medications that affected my everyday functioning. I am simply delighted that I am pain free after 3 treatments by Dr. Srini who explained the science behind my pain condition. He has proven that my incurable pain condition was indeed curable! ”….. Edwina Foust after receiving permanent pain relief from headaches.

My name is Vicki Hinkle. I have struggled with foot pain for many, many years. I have had treatment and surgery from several very experienced, sympathetic doctors over the years with some results. As time went on the foot pain increased to the point to cause life style changes. I enjoyed outdoor hiking, long walks with loved ones and occasionally a day of shopping with friends. I had accepted with sadness; the reality those days were gone. A family member had gone to Dr. Srinivasan for back pain and had experienced wonderful results. I was encouraged to inquire about possible help with my foot pain. I had wonderful results in less than a week after my treatment by Dr. Srinivasan. It has now been several months; I am still pain free. I am able to exercise, accomplished weight loss and enjoy outdoor activities once again. I encourage anyone dealing with pain of any kind to schedule a consultation with Dr. Srinivasan and decide for yourself. The options available to you may give you some of your life back too!

INDIVIDUAL RESULTS WILL VARY. Advanced Interventional Pain Center is the nation’s only pain center to have consistently over 90% pain treatment success rates 4 years in a row. Advanced Interventional Pain Center promotes innovative minimally invasive treatments for long term pain relief without surgery or addictive medications. Advanced Interventional Pain Center aims to reduce healthcare spending by preventing ER visits, Surgical Treatments and Hospitalizations because of Chronic Pain.

OUR VIEWS

It is our position that something needs to be done about the coyote infestation in Hamilton County. All the development in Hamilton County has caused coyotes to move into neighborhoods and caused the deaths of an alarming number of local pets. Whether it be to decrease the population or trap and relocate, we believe that someone needs to take initiative to see that this problem is handled.

We understand that that this is not the coyotes being vicious. Rather, they are just trying to survive after being forced out of their natural habitats as a result of new developments. Nonetheless, we believe something needs to be done, whether it a government agency, or an outside organization to bring an end to the coyotes wondering our neighborhoods. While we would prefer that the coyotes be trapped and relocated to a location that is more suitable, such as somewhere in the wilderness, we believe the need to remove them from our neighborhoods is important enough that officials should pursue other options if necessary.

With the warmer weather and longer days, we believe it’s time the coyote situation is dealt with. Hamilton County residents should not have to worry about their pets in their own yards.

Extra precautions

It is our position that we need to be aware of the increased threat of burglaries during the spring and summer. Weather is warmer now, and when people are mowing their lawns or working in their gardens, they leave their garage doors open more frequently, exposing their families to attack or theft. Cars are being vandalized or stolen; lawn equipment disappears; kitchens doors are unlocked, and burglars make off with whatever they can get their hands on once inside.

There are too many instances in Hamilton County where burglars gained access through the carelessness of the homeowner. Not only are people being robbed by so-called professional thieves, “garage-hopping” is still prevalent among unsupervised teenagers. This is when teens, out of school on summer vacation, duck in and out of open and unoccupied garages to steal money or CDs from cars, key or vandalize the car’s exterior, or help themselves to beer or wine stored in an outdoor refrigerator.

Let’s start keeping our garage doors closed while we work in our yards, lock our front doors when we go for an evening walk, and be mindful of strangers in our neighborhood. Burglars find enough ways to steal from us without our active cooperation.

FROM THE BACKSHOP What, exactly, is behind the curtain?

The St. Petersburg State Orchestra scheduled to play The Palladium Wednesday, February 22, 2012, at 7:30 p.m., might not be exactly as advertised. Known also as “The Tschaikowski,” the orchestra, whose tour is handled by Columbia Artists Management, Inc., has been reported to be the subject of misleading marketing information. The New York Times published a front-page story last week about so-called “questionable” orchestras that crisscross the United States and other nations, playing concerts in a wide range of venues, including concert halls such as The Palladium, smaller theatres and even high school auditoriums. What caught our eye about the story is that its principal guest conductor, Stanislav Kochanovsky, told The Times he didn’t know the orchestra’s name. It and other orchestras are said to use “freelancers” and “truth-shading.”

Columbia is alleged to have deployed “a pattern of misleading publicity photos, altered program biographies and last-minute (musician) substitutions.” This, folks, absolutely is not to be blamed on The Palladium. Apparently, according to the report, several orchestras are not exactly as they portend to be. For instance, the Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra that played 50 towns last year mostly was made up of Bulgarians. This is not a commentary on the quality of the

We believe orchestras should be exactly as advertised. The Palladium is rumored to be spending north of $60,000 for the St. Petersburg ensemble. Said Steven B. Libman, president and CEO of the center: “The New York Times recently reported on a dispute taking place between two orchestras, both based in St. Petersburg. We are fully aware of the matter. Rest assured that the “Tschaikowski” is a magnificent orchestra and we look forward to welcoming the group to the Palladium’s stage. In fact, the concert will feature world-renown pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet. He would not be affiliated with the “Tschaikowski” if there were ever a true concern. His management company would not allow him to be associated with anything that wasn’t legitimate. … ”

A recent, local baby boom?

COMMENTARY

By Terry Anker My guess is that it is related to the economy.

People are home with fewer options for entertainment. They focus on time around family and the hearth. Whatever the reason, it seems that amongst our friends there has been somewhat of a baby boom. Whether more mature adults having their first just under the biological clock wire (congrats to our physicians and scientists who continue to provide options for families long past what might have been possible only a few short years ago) or, being one herself those my wife likes to call the “bonus” child, adding to the family even as the first-born is readying for college or the more traditional young couple going forth to multiply – it seems that we are buying newborn baby gifts at an alarming rate.

It is nice to see and hold the tiny humans; and, I am reminded about the almost inconceivably fragile sensibility the tikes invoke. Our own boys have long been beyond that stage. They are both strapping, rough-and-tumble kids more likely to

break the furniture than one of their bones. But these babies are as fresh as a new pair of white sneakers – not a scuff or sign of wear.

We were talking recently with a freshly minted mom and dad.

What advice might be shared? Infants, said my lovely bride and mom of our two, require intense care and attention. We must keep them safe, warm and dry. Love matters – as does nutrition and a myriad of other things. With the basics met and as they mature, nuanced and more complex obligations materialize. Teens require role models and thoughtful engagement. These kids may be harder to break but they are easier to warp. In an effort to protect our older children from damage are we inadvertently contorting them beyond hope for a productive life?

It seems that we are buying newborn baby gifts at an alarming rate.

Mother’s Day doesn’t go as planned, still special COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson It’s Mother’s Day morning, and honestly, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Do you recall my itinerary for this most special of days?

The first thing on the agenda was “sleep in.” But apparently no one in my family got that memo, so now I’m less than enthused about the rest of the day. Here’s what happened.

Last night, we held our annual Kentucky Derby party. Guests left around 10 p.m., and I went to bed shortly thereafter. Around 1 a.m., I heard the unmistakable sounds of plates being loaded into the dishwasher, and though I was unhappy to be awake, I was thrilled that my husband was taking care of at least a portion of the mess. I fell back asleep maybe an hour later, and didn’t wake again until six. Doo was not in bed, apparently having crashed on the couch.

I was still exhausted, so I snuggled back down under the covers, anticipating another two hours of peaceful slumber. The perfect Mother’s Day beginning!

At 6:40 sharp, though, two short people burst into the room screaming, “Happy Mother’s Day!” I ripped off my mask and stared blearyeyed at my daughters, one of whom was carrying a tray laden with breakfast. “We made you your favorites!”

I scooched up to a sitting position, still a bit incoherent, just as the tray was placed on my

lap. There was as single rose in a silver vase, an egg cooked especially-sunny side up, a country biscuit, a teddy bear of honey, a spoon, a china cup filled with black coffee, and a hand-made card. Frustrated but also truly touched by their thoughtfulness, I said, “It looks wonderful.”

I stare at the barely-congealed egg. “Did you cook this all by yourself, Corinne?”

I won’t enjoy one second of my glorious plans. But I also want to dance with joy because I truly have some of the most precious, resourceful children on this earth.

“Yes! Dad was asleep at the desk and he couldn’t help, so I tried to remember how you do it.”

Flashes of my 9-year old experimenting with our gas stove while Doo slept in a mint julepinduced coma tore through my sleep-deprived brain. “The first one didn’t turn out so good but this one I was able to scrape off the pan.”

I took a hesitant bite, remembering to make “hmmmm” sounds as I swallowed a scoop of the still-clear egg whites.Carmel Good thinking with the 5/9/11 11081 INFINITI Current_5_17

spoon. A fork would not have been useful. Then Maddie piped in, “I tried to make coffee but it was taking way too long.” I took a sip. It was cold. “Luckily, we had some left over from the party!” Ah. That explains it.

Minutes later, after consuming a small bite of the stale biscuit (also from the party), I walked arm -in-arm with my daughters downstairs.

I had to keep reminding myself to smile and looked pleased even though all really wanted to do was go back to sleep. But when I got to the kitchen, all I could do was giggle. Corinne had tried to fry the eggs on a cookie sheet! And Maddie had simply put water in a pot and set it in the coffee maker. Indeed, that coffee would take a very long time to brew!

So I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. My head and stomach hurt from exhaustion, and I have a terrible feeling that if I don’t get a nap soon, I won’t enjoy one second of my glorious plans. But I also want to dance with joy because I truly have some of the most precious, resourceful children on this earth. I may not enjoy the rest of Mother’s Day, but I’ll certainly never forget this morning. Peace out.

Grassy Knoll hit with rash of vehicle thefts Current in Westfield One or more thieves struck a single neighborhood 12 times in one night last week.

Last Monday morning, the Westfield Police Depar. investigated 12 incidents of thefts from vehicles, which occurred in the area of Grassy Knoll Drive, Azalea Court and Redbud Court in the Grassy Knoll subdivision.

The thefts occurred overnight. Items stolen included electronics, purses, and briefcases, though some of these items were later recovered within the same general area.

Prior to the reported thefts, at approximately 1:20 a.m., an Azalea Court resident called WPD and reported two suspicious subjects, walking between houses. The suspects were wearing, dark pants and dark hooded sweatshirts – one possibly black or navy and the other possibly green. However, the suspects were not located.

In a report compiled by Current in Westfield in early 2010, WPD said that vehicle thefts were the most prevalent type of crime in the city, in large part due to residents’ high sense of security. Valuable items are often left in plain sight within vehicles, WPD told Current then. The department believes that some of the vehicles involved in last week’s thefts were left unlocked.

As of press time, WPD was still investigating these crimes. If citizens discover items in the area which could be associated with these thefts, they are asked to contact WPD’s Communications Division at 773-1300. Anyone

D.C. trip fun, educational Civic ready for its move north for whole family COMMENTARY

By Ken Kingshill My wife had a business meeting in our nation’s capital two weeks ago and the family tagged along. For our two boys it was a great introduction to the Smithsonian and various national memorials. For me it was an opportunity to reminisce a little about the summer I spent as a congressional intern in college.

Since the boys knew the hotel had a swimming pool, I was dreading a reprise of our first Disney trip when all they wanted to do was go back to the hotel to swim. But, to my pleasant surprise, swimming never really became an issue.

For me, I got a kick out of discussing local politics with Andy Card, George W. Bush’s first White House Chief of Staff.

However, the weather forecast was nothing but rain for the two days that we were there. I guess, one way or the other, I was going to get wet. Luckily, it decided to rain mostly at night, so we didn’t get too drenched while walking around the national mall.

After bravely hiking around the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the FDR Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, the Vietnam War Memorial, the World War II Memorial and Arlington Cemetery, the boys were beginning to think there was way too much to remember. A highlight was locating my uncle’s name on the wall of the Vietnam War Memorial. In my opinion, one still sees more tears at that memorial than any other.

The boys had a hard time conceptualizing the fact that Washington, D.C. is not located within any state.

How the Hamilton County Metropolitan Child Exploitation Task Force stands between your kids and online predators

By Jordan Fischer Current in Westfield

What Can You Do To Minimize The Chances Of An On-line Exploiter Victimizing Your Child?

T

he face of child explotation may not have changed in the last two decades, but the advent of the Internet certainly has given predators a new level of access to their prey.

That’s why the Hamilton County Metropolitan Child Exploitation Task Force was formed in 2007. The team is composed of detectives from the Carmel, Fishers and Noblesville police departments, as well as members of the Hamilton County Prosecutors Office.

• Communicate, and talk to your child about sexual victimization and potential on-line danger.

• Spend time with your children on-line. Have them teach you about their favorite on-line destinations.

• Keep the computer in a common room in the house, not in your child’s bedroom.

• Utilize parental controls provided by your service provider and/or blocking software.

• Always maintain access to your child’s on-line account and randomly check his/her e-mail. Be up front with your child about your access and reasons why.

The primary mission of the task force, according to FPD Cpt. Andy Dietz, is to identify, investigate, and prosecute those individuals who utilize computers, digital media and other electronic devices to prey on children for the purpose of sexual gratification or profit.

Donning the mask

In order to find child predators and purveyors of child pornography, detectives pose as underage boys and girls in online chat rooms. At that point, according to FPD Sgt. Dave Kimm, they wait for the predators to come to them.

“Oftentimes guys will go into a chat room like ‘Dads and Daughters,’ and in the course of the conversation they will divulge information on a link to where this sort of (pornographic) content is available,” Kimm said.

Getting access to the larger, password protected sites, however, can be a more difficult process.

“The guys that really hoard the mass amounts of child porn are hard to get to, just like drug kingpins,” Kimm said, “because the trust level has to be so high.”

Signs your child might be at risk online: • Your child spends large amounts of time online, especially at night.

• Your child receives phone calls from men you don’t know, or is making calls, sometimes long distance, to numbers you don’t recognize.

• Your child receives mail, gifts, or packages from someone you don’t know.

• Your child turns the computer monitor off or quickly changes the screen on the monitor when you come into the room.

• Your child becomes withdrawn from the family.

How aware are you of what your child is doing online?

In March of 2010, the task force arrested Samuel Hasler, 50, an Anderson, attorney, on charges of two counts of distributing child pornography, and one count of possessing child pornography. Through the investigation, it was determined that viewing child pornography had grown to become his main pastime.

“They determined that he was spending a minimum of six hours a day looking at or trading child pornography,” Kimm said.

And, Kimm said, Hasler was not an unusual case for the task force.

“We’ve had more clergymen than anyone,” Kimm said, “but we’ve had police officers, attorneys, truck drivers, ex-military men… really all walks of life.”

Still, Kimm said, there is a typical profile for child predators.

“I don’t think we’ve ever arrested someone who wasn’t a white male, usually 30 or older,” Kimm said. “In fact, usually over 50.”

Closing the net

Some investigations with particularly guarded predators can take weeks, Kimm said. Others are willing to meet up with detectives posing as underage children after only 30 minutes of conversation.

“Sometimes we’ve only been talking to the guy for 30 minutes beforehand, and the guy was local and agreed to come up immediately,” Kimm said.

The task force arrested a man in just such an scenario on April 11, after Greenwood resident Satnam Singh Thind allegedly

Current in Westfield

agreed to meet a detective posing as a 14-year-old girl for sex in Fishers.

In 2008, the task force arrested a Carmel man, Andrew McGrath, on 24 counts of sexual exploitation of children, or producing child pornography, after an investigation determined he had produced images of minor females engaged in sexually explicit conduct. McGrath received 370 years in federal prison.

“When I was a kid,” Kimm said, “if you were a pedophile, you would drive around and find a kid you liked, talk them for a while, learn their habits, then eventually abduct them. Now, you can just sit in the safety of your own home and browse to your heart’s content.”

“The Internet is a pedophile’s dream,” he added.

Keeping your children safe

“The hardest thing in Hamilton County is getting people aware of these types of crimes,” Kimm said.

Beyond that, both Kimm and Dietz stressed that parental awareness is key.

“Just for parents to be aware of what their kids are doing is huge,” Kimm said. “Oftentimes we get cell phones with hundreds of naked pictures of the owner of that cell phone. And once you send that picture out, it’s like a bullet. You never know where it’s going to go.”

The task force offers an outreach program to public schools, churches, and any group that can muster an audience of at least 15 people to raise awareness about child predators.

“The thing people don’t realize is, once those children are victimized, they’re victimized for life,” Kimm said. “They can never get the image of that abuse out of their head.”

Information about registered sex offenders in your area is available online at www.icrimewatch.net. To report a suspected child sex crime, dial 911 to reach your local emergency operator, the Fishers Police Department anonymous tip line at 317-595-3305, or contact The Indiana Department of Child Services through its toll-free hotline at 1-800-800-5556.

patents and trademarks. Yet there are several fields of law dedicated to the preservation of intellectual property. It’s serious business, and it deserves serious attention.

Misuse of sources, however, is generally a less grievous offense – at least in certain academic circles. Unintentional plagiarism is perpetrated by students who don’t understand how to appropriately document their sources. Their lack of understanding might be due to laziness in the classroom rather than a deficiency on the part of the instructor, but misuse of sources happens when someone makes an honest attempt to correctly and completely credit his or her sources but falls short. The higher the level of education, though, the more serious the consequences for misusing sources.

Outside of the classroom, though, misuse of sources can be just as serious as intentional plagiarism. Rather than a learning experience, misusing sources professionally is a sign of laziness or incompetence. And as it pertains to the law, ignorance is rarely an acceptable defense.

The point? Ideas and the expression of those ideas are property. Use of that property requires careful, accurate documentation. That documentation will be next week’s topic.

GRAMMAR GURU

By Brandie Bohney In more than two years, I’ve never discussed plagiarism in this column. I’m not sure why I’ve skirted the issue for so long, but this week and next, I’ll discuss what plagiarism is and how to avoid it. First, it’s important to know what plagiarism is and why it’s an important issue. That’s where we’ll start this week.

Plagiarism is the use of someone else’s words or ideas without properly crediting that source.

It’s important to realize there is a distinction between intentional plagiarism and unintentional plagiarism, which is often referred to as misuse of sources.

Intentional plagiarism is when a writer knowingly and often purposely uses the words and/ or ideas of someone else either without crediting the source at all or by crediting it incompletely.

In school, it’s academic dishonesty: cheating.

Depending on the school and the age of the student, punishment for academic plagiarism ranges anywhere from failing the assignment to failing the course to expulsion from the institution. In the real world, plagiarism can result in being fired or being sued.

Purposely stealing the words or ideas of someone else is theft. That’s why the consequences can be so severe. People often disregard the seriousness of plagiarism, because what’s being stolen is intellectual property. Intellectual property is an abstraction. It’s the world of copyrights, !

» Adults fake ADHD? – Amid what some claim is a growing epidemic of ADHD diagnoses, a study finds that almost one in four adults who show up in doctors’ offices seeking treatment may be exaggerating — or even faking — their symptoms.

Twenty-two percent of adults in the study who claimed they suffered from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder tried to skew test results to make their symptoms look worse, according to a new report based on the medical records of 268 patients and published in the journal The Clinical Neuropsychologist. Some actually had ADHD but embellished their reports to ensure they got diagnosed.

DISPATCHES » Lighten hair with rhubarb – Rhubarb has long been used as a lightening agent for blond or light brown hair. The oxalic acid serves as a fixative, so a rhubarb rinse will last much longer than most herbal rinses.

Purchase some dried, chopped rhubarb root in a local health food store. Simmer 3 or 4 tablespoons of dried rhubarb root or half a cup of fresh, chopped root in a quart of water for 20 minutes in a covered stainless-steel pot. (Don’t breathe the steam.) Let the decoction steep overnight and strain in the morning. Test the liquid dye on a strand of hair first to see if you like the color. If you do, wash your hair as usual, then pour the rhubarb dye through it, catching the liquid in the pan and repeating two or three times. Air dry without further rinsing. Keep the roots away from children.

Hair Color for You We believe that getting a simple hair color or a few brightening highlights can make or break your image. We suggest that you be careful, though, as it is possible to damage your hair from the effects of coloring and highlighting: frizz and breakage can occur. To help ensure that these effects don’t happen to you, make sure you visit a trained and experience stylist. Salon 01 stylists all are part of a year-long apprenticeship program before they begin taking clients. They apprentice under senior stylists who have had advanced color education. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you can get the same salon-quality results with at-home hair color.

We are here to help you avoid the damage that can occur, and have priced our services to fit all budgets. Come see us!

We think a sultry, smoky look for your eyes is a great way to go glam for an evening event. Follow these steps to achieve this look: 1. Prep your eye area by applying a touch of concealer to your upper and lower lids. Set the concealer with a brush of loose powder.

2. Line your eyes with a firm eye pencil. “Stay as close to the base of the

lashes as possible,” says Salon 01 Makeup Artist Kelly Lohrman. Once lined, use your finger or small brush to gently smudge the liner up towards the creases of your eye. For a dramatic and bold effect, repeat on your bottom lashline.

3. Set the liner with another swipe of translucent powder again. This will also soften the effect and keep the liner from smudging.

4. Add a dark, matte eye shadow to the lids, blending toward the creases. Pick black for a traditional smoky eye, or use a color like green or purple for a more modern look.

5. Don’t forget to finish off with a couple coats of volumizing mascara.

-Men’s Health » Deprived brains take ‘naps’ – Scientists may have found an explanation for all those slip-ups we make when we haven’t gotten enough sleep. A new study shows that even when we feel wide awake, regions of our brains may be opting to go offline in a sort of rolling blackout. Though the study was in rats, its results should be applicable to humans, said the study’s authors. While sleep-deprived rats played, researchers watched as nerve cells would be sparking one minute and then go completely silent in a kind of nap phase. These “naps” were only noticeable when the rats were given tasks to perform.

Migraine surgery offers new hope COMMENTARY

By Barry Epply More than 30 million people in the United States have some degree of migraine headaches. While there are effective drug therapies, some patients either get little to no relief or have other problems related to side effects from the drugs. For a small number of migraine sufferers, it is very disabling, and little benefit is obtained, despite the best neurologic care.

Plastic surgeons have developed new procedures to “deactivate” migraine headaches, and these were learned from results seen from cosmetic treatments.

Based on Botox injections and browlift surgery, both of which temporarily paralyze or remove certain brow muscles, significant improvements or actual cures have occurred in migraines that begin in the forehead. This has led to understanding the cause of migraines in some patients, known as the peripheral trigger.

The peripheral trigger theory of migraines is based on certain sensory nerves being squeezed or compressed by a surrounding muscle or contact point. This leads to a cascade of events that becomes a migraine. To date, four trigger areas have been identified. Three of these are where a nerve passes through a muscle: the greater occipital nerve in the back of the head, the zygomaticotemporal nerve in the temple area, and the supraorbital nerve at the inner half of the eyebrows.

The fourth trigger point has been iden-

tified in the nose, where a significant septal deviation makes contact with an enlarged turbinate.

Surgical migraine deactivation is done by removing the source of irritation or straightening the nasal septum.

This is done through small incisions inside the scalp hair or from inside the nose. Studies have shown that such surgery produces good results that last, with nearly 90 percent of patients having at least partial relief at five years after surgery. Migraine attacks were fewer in number, not as severe, and shorter. In about one-third of patients, migraine headaches were completely eliminated.

How does one know if surgery might improve their headaches? Before surgery, one needs to be tested with Botox injections to confirm the correct trigger site. If Botox works to temporarily improve migraine symptoms, then the peripheral trigger is confirmed and surgery will likely be successful. But before one considers Botox injections and even surgery, they should be initially evaluated and treated by a neurologist.

Only after failure of traditional medical treatments should one consider this new plastic surgery treatment.

The time for summertime skin treatments rapidly is approaching COMMENTARY

By Dr. Jodie Harper & Dr. Angela Corea The countdown to summer is on! June 21, the first day of summer, is right around the corner, so now is the time to prepare your skin to face the summer sun. Sunscreen is a must (and don’t forget to reapply it throughout the day), but as the weather heats up, make sure to give your skin a little TLC with skin treatments that are right for the season.

Don’t hesitate to exfoliate. While you will want to avoid deep peels during the summer months, it’s OK to opt for a gentler method of rejuvenating the skin. One of the best tools to help you get that healthy glow is Vibraderm. Vibraderm facials give an amazing exfoliation and stimulation to the skin. A stainless steel paddle is vibrated over the skin, removing dead skin cells. This technique targets superficial skin problems such as fine lines, mild acne, age spots and dullness.

Put the YOU in rejuvenation. Rejuvenation is key to helping the skin cell turn over and slowing down the signs of aging.

Another way to safely rejuvenate the skin during the summer

is through enzyme peels. Enzyme peels exfoliate the skin and improve texture, while helping to clear blemishes. The enzymes used come from the papaya fruit. These fruit enzymes are “smart enzymes” in that they only dissolve dead skin cells, while keeping the healthy cells intact.

Face the sun with C. Another treatment that is excellent this time of year is Vitamin C. Vitamin C lifts and firms the skin and encourages collagen production. With regular use, skin will appear smoother, brighter and more even. One of the best benefits is that, when used with sunscreen, Vitamin C also helps to protect the skin from the sun’s harmful rays.

» Go with more interest? – Old-school thinking was to choose the mortgage with the smallest interest payments. Now, many are suggesting doing the opposite. Paying the least interest on a mortgage requires a down payment of at least 20 percent and paying down the loan quickly. Doing this, however, can backfire given the current housing market. With interest rates still low, consumers might want to make a down payment of 10 percent instead of throwing most of their money into the home -- where some of it could be lost if home values decline.

Finding the different approach LANDSCAPING

By Mark Skipper As I sit here writing this article to you on May 16, I have my jacket on trying to stay warm, as the outdoor temperature is around 41 degrees. For years, I have told my customers not to plant summer flowers or sow grass seed until May 15. But all of us are anxious to add color and interest to our landscaping beds and gardens. I am almost positive that by the time you are reading this article the weather will be perfect (or all of us will be going crazy!).

With that stated, now is the time to get your bedding plants in the ground, plant all of your container pots and decorate your outdoor spaces.

With Memorial Day this weekend, I am positive you will want to enjoy your favorite colors and styles that bring a smile to your face. So, if you haven’t thought about May flowers and more, you haven’t missed the best time to plant.

All garden centers have their niche – some are mass producers and stock the very basic of flowers and plants (known as the big-box stores).

Some garden centers carry the basics and try to be the “one-stop-shop” for all of your gardening needs. Both styles can be effective and based on

their sales volume; it seems to be working for them.

I like to take a different approach. I like to find my customers the unusual or the hardto-find items. Just last week, a lady had been looking all over for a climbing red rose to grow up a trellis. After several calls, I found two suppliers that sent me the “Don Wan” climbing red rose, and my customer was ecstatic! By taking this approach, we were able to provide the customer with fresh product direct from the grower.

Just this past Saturday I found a new rose called the “Oso Easy Paprika” rose. The paprika color and foliage is remarkable. I love to look for the WOW plants! (Pictured) Whether you are looking for the unusual or the hard to find, try shopping at your local independent garden center and experience the WOW for May.

Timing, technology drive kitchen redos REMODELING

By David Decker Our unique kitchen improvements rely heavily on putting the right appliances in place, and we often involve expert vendors who consult our clients on the very latest market trends and technology.

Estimating that 75 percent of its sales are derived from kitchen remodels, hhgregg Fine Lines sales manager Rick Donaldson cites both economic timing and an explosion of modern technology that make kitchens a perfect “now” project.

Housing sales may be soft, but it’s a hard fact that homeowners are enhancing their kitchens at a record rate.

“People are staying in their homes, waiting for better market-timing to sell,” Donaldson notes.

“No doubt, a nicer kitchen makes the waiting easier and obviously it’s an asset when it’s time to sell.”

Technology is a major allure. Donaldson cites induction cooktops, improved ventilation hoods, “smart” wall ovens and versatile refrigerator modules among the top ultra-tech upgrades that completely remake the design and function of any kitchen.

Induction cooktops are a radical improvement over gas or electric, magnetic fields heat the food without heating the cooktop, making induction more efficient, more precise, less dangerous, more adaptable, and easier to control.

Ventilation hoods continue to develop in function, filtration and design at a very rapid level. Removing smoke, smells, heat and humidity – either updraft or downdraft – is en-

24 | May 24, 2011

tirely doable, irrespective of available ductwork or outside ventilation.

“Smart” wall ovens, Donaldson says, “not only cook your food, they tell you how to cook it. Whether a pan of brownies or a filet mignon, a 7-inch computer touch screen doesn’t tell you what to do, it just asks questions about what you want. You don’t set a time or temperature; the oven already knows.”

Modular and variable-panel refrigerators mean refrigeration units can be put anywhere: in tall thin cabinets, short, wide drawers or cabinets in virtually any finish.

“It completely opens up what a designer can do in a kitchen,” Donaldson says.

Donaldson’s best piece of advice?

“Consult the store for the latest technology, and have a kitchen designer put it all together so it works right for you.”

My dog is a real gas HUMOR

By Mike Redmond My dog, Cookie, has recently been somewhat, shall we say, gassy.

Oh, who am I kidding? Gassy doesn’t BEGIN to describe it. She’s practically lethal.

Now, I was raised in the country and as such, some of the smells my city friends find highly objectionable don’t really bother me all that much. A lot full of cattle? No problem. The swine barn at the State Fair? A breeze, so to speak.

A cheese-cutting dog, on the other hand …

Actually, it’s not so bad under certain circumstances, such as being outdoors with a strong wind blowing away from you and the dog. Under those conditions it can even be fun to have a few guy friends over so you can make gassy dog comparisons.

However, Cookie and I spend a lot of time in a small office, where the air circulation isn’t so good. It’s not the smell so much. It’s just that I can’t see my computer screen because of the burning in my eyes.

I’ve been down this road before with a number of other dogs, and I know that this condition, while incurable, can usually be taken down a notch or two with a change of diet. And so I’ve been researching different dog foods in hope of finding one that will clear the air.

26 | May 24, 2011

The results?

I think the dog food companies are full of (see above under “lot full of cattle.”)

For one thing, they all promise the same thing: Dogs will love it. This is completely bogus. We are talking about animals that eat garbage. Cookie once upended a bird feeder and ate a pound of millet. Don’t even get me started on the litter box. The point is, dogs eat anything. Of course they’re going to love it.

I’ve never eaten dog food that I know of, although I’ve had some greasy spoon chili that was highly suspect. I have, however, at the instigation of a cousin, eaten a Milk-Bone. Having had that experience I cannot for the life of me figure out why my dog will actually beg for one.

Anyway, so far I haven’t found the solution to my problems with Methane Mutt. I suppose I’ll just have to go by trial and error until I find a brand of food that produces the least amount of air pollution. Just my luck, it’ll be the expensive brand, too.

That will stink, but not as bad as my office.

‘Tumor’ is not a bad word

DISPATCHES » Grooming out of stress – There are a number of reasons why cats groom themselves, but one reason has nothing to do with cleanliness. Cats can use grooming to feel better emotionally. Cats may groom themselves when fearful, to relieve tension, or when uncertain how to react to situations. Cats also use displacement grooming when other behaviors aren’t allowed; perhaps you’ve put the cat on a diet, or are trying to convince an outdoor cat it should stay inside. It isn’t known if displacement grooming has a direct effect on the neurologic impulses in the brain, or if it is simply a way for the cat to distract itself. Strong emotion may cause a rise of body temperature which the cat cools by grooming, or perhaps the benefits of massage and touch calm feline anxiety. Some displacement grooming is normal, but if your cat becomes obsessed, losing fur or damaging its skin, seek vet help.

PETS

By Dr. Greg Magnusson A “tumor” is not automatically a horribly bad thing, until you add the modifier “benign” or “malignant.”

INTENT is the defining factor. Does a lump INTEND to sit there playing nice, or does it intend to spread all over the body causing trouble?

DEFINITIONS: TUMOR: The abnormal, uncontrolled growth of what used to be normal body tissues or cells. Any cell or tissue type can turn into a tumor, given the right stimulus, which is why “curing cancer” is so difficult.

METASTATIC: The spread of a disease from one organ or part to another nonadjacent organ or part.

BENIGN TUMOR: A non-metastatic tumor. In other words, a lone, friendly, singular lump that plans to sit in one place forever and not go anywhere else. It might get bigger, but so what. It doesn’t even hurt surrounding tissue.

METASTATIC TUMOR: A tumor that gains the ability to travel to new locations within the body and grow new tumors.

MALIGNANT TUMOR: A term that includes metastatic tumors, PLUS those that grow into and through normal tissue, but don’t travel and grow new tumors elsewhere (i.e., malignant, but non-metastatic).

CANCER: See MALIGNANT TUMOR. A “cancer” is, by definition, malignant. Clear as mud?

So yes, every time your dog grows a lump, of any size, shape or color, it’s automatically defined a “tumor” because that’s just what “tumors” are. Abnormal growths.

To determine if your pet’s particular tumor is a benign tumor or malignant tumor / cancer, we do what’s called a biopsy. A biopsy is a medical test involving the removal of cells or tissues for examination.

Some biopsies we do on a conscious patient, with no anesthesia, and using just a tiny needle; others we do under general anesthesia, and we remove the whole tumor and send it in. Generally speaking, the bigger the sample you send in, the more likely the pathologist will be able to give you a definitive diagnosis.

Until we get the biopsy back, there’s no way to tell what kind of tumor we’re dealing with.

Moral of the story: Don’t be scared of your dog’s lump until I biopsy it and find out its intent.

Until we get the biopsy back, there’s no way to tell what kind of tumor we’re dealing with.

He loves going to the dog park where he can run and stretch his legs, get his toes wet in the water and play with other dogs. He occasionally gets over stimulated and at the dog park but gentle reminders to calm down helps him remember his good doggie manners. Pacer is gentle when taking treats and he knows the commands sit and down. He is energetic and playful and will need an active family who will provide him with daily exercise and lots of love.

Cilantro is a 7 month old male tabby DSH. Cilantro really enjoys playing with toys and with his brothers Basil, Cajun and Pepper. The four kittens arrived at the shelter when they were just weeks old and needed to be bottle fed. They have been in a foster home where they have become healthy, strong and social kittens and are ready to find their forever home. Cilantro enjoys playing tag and running circles around the island in the kitchen. When he’s not playing, he’s pretty laid back and is content to sun himself by lying in a window sill.
