Aside from time to heal, the best treatments for back pain may be the least dramatic: exercise more and lose weight. Some of the basics we tend to ignore or overlook can be the most important and cost effective. Dr. Fryer went on to say, "I expected standing height changes to increase after the 'chair-care' exercise and that's exactly what I found. This supported the hypotheses that the "chair-care" exercise lengthens the spine; the joint spaces likely get larger and the cartilage gets relief from compression. I believe that future studies should use upright MRI with stadiometry to help discern why height increases were seen with the 'chair-care' exercise." Taking such precise measurements required specialized height measuring equipment. Very sophisticated equipment like an MRI is not cost effective nor practical for daily use in measuring patient height, so Dr. Fryer selected the non-invasive Heightronic 235 Digital Stadiometer Height Rod by Quick Medical; it is nearly as accurate as the MRI for this application and at a fraction of the cost. "In my practice I look for indicators of osteoarthritis and provide patients with short and long-term therapeutic strategies for the management of this common condition. Height change variations can help provide the health care professional with important clinical clues and is an excellent screening tool for further diagnostic testing," concluded Dr. Fryer.

Titled "Pharmacy Isolator Safe Use and Product Videos," these videos teach and inform pharmaceutical workers how to safely use barrier isolators. The videos can be viewed at: http://us.escoglobal.com/resources/hospital-pharmacy-products/videos.php. Pharmacy isolators provide a safe and clean environment for compounding of hazardous, sterile drug preparations in compliance with USP 797 criteria. Barrier isolation systems provide inherently superior sterility and operator protection compared to open front clean air devices such as laminar flow clean benches and Class II biological safety cabinets. When used as part of a system that includes operator aseptic technique training, process validation, expiration setting, and product quality maintenance after the CSP leaves the compounding pharmacy, isolators are a cost-effective solution especially for lower-volume pharmacies. They reduce operating and renovation costs, take up less space, and are easier to maintain. The Esco Pharmacy Isolators Educational (Safe Use) Video informs and educates potential and existing users of barrier isolators on the following topics: - Introduction - Risks Involving Cytotoxic Drug Preparation - USP Guidelines & Requirements - Types of isolators - How Isolators Work - Safe Use of Pharmacy Isolators - Cleaning & Disinfection Procedures - Maintenance The Esco Isoclean Pharmacy Isolators Product Video informs and educates potential isolator users on the following topics: - Introduction - Positive Pressure Isolators - Negative Pressure Isolators - Airflow - Features and Benefits About Esco Esco pharmacy products include a complete range of barrier isolators, NSF listed biological safety cabinets and clean benches.

The name says it all, it's a site dedicated to just Display ads, aka Graphic ads, aka Branding ads, aka bigger ads with pretty pictures. "Employers and candidates will notice a difference right away from the very 1st search," says Ron Feldstein, founder and president of HealthcareJobsOnDisplay.com. "Our search function is the most important piece of the puzzle and we wanted to be different, not like every other job board out there, so we made sure that Branded, Creative, Display ads populate from the 1st search and it's all right there initially so employers have a chance to stand out, right out of the box." Feldstein and his recruitment ad agency have been doing job postings on the job boards since Monster hit the internet many moons ago, and his agency, The Roman Group. Inc. has done well over 20,000 postings. "I constantly get complaints from my clients about job boards being confusing, static, boring, filled with typos and mistakes, and lacking functionality so this concept was born out of a need by employers to stand apart, be creative, and also not have to pay display ad prices like they would in the print. Any time one of our employers can do a Display ad in place of a line ad and spend less, it's a no - brainer, so we applied the same principle to a job board." HealthcareJobsOnDisplay is ready to launch in June and will start out with an East Coast Focus, but within a year will be ready to go nationwide. "We felt an East Coast Focus would allow us to be more responsive to employers and candidates needs in select markets, and we can concentrate our marketing and sales efforts more effectively, but we'll be national in no time," added Feldstein. Job seekers will be encouraged to post resumes and will be eligible for gift cards. The 1st, 100th, 250th, 500th, 1100th, 1250th, 1500th, 2100th, 2250th, & 2500th resumes posted receive a free $50 gift card. The 1000th, 2000th, & 3000th resume posted receives a free $100 Gift Card. Various pricing packages are available, ranging from 1-1000, and even though employers essentially get 2 display ads for each ad purchased, the cost of the ads are lower than many job board postings without any branding or design. "With a creative team in place and a recruitment ad agency staff for support, we have the flexibility to create a visual, branding experience for employers and job seekers, something we feel is currently missing in the Job board universe - we're really excited, concluded Feldstein."

The new iPhone/Blackberry-compliant system tracks nutrition and exercise behaviors, in sync with the "call to action" voiced in the latest America's Health Rankings™. Per that report, the solution to America's poor health performance lies in our building "a foundation for health by creating a culture of wellness and prevention," particularly since our habits, practices and everyday activities affect us individually as well as our community. The new Cenegenics Nutrition & Exercise Online Personal Tracker helps patients stay on target with their customized Cenegenics program, thanks to direct interaction with their Cenegenics nutrition/exercise counselors. Cenegenics says the tracker is one more step in their mission to change the paradigm of medicine, transitioning from a disease-oriented system to a proactive, preventive one. Unlike the "anti-aging" movement, Cenegenics recognizes aging as a natural process that can be managed with customized programs focused on the synergy of low-glycemic nutrition, exercise, nutraceuticals and hormone optimization (as clinically indicated) to maximize health and prevent or delay age-related disease. "Cenegenics patients will spend approximately four to seven minutes each day logging their nutritional and exercise activities online via the tracker. This new system will help us monitor patient habits and progress as well as immediately identify red flag areas needing improvement and negative behavioral issues, " said Cicely Valenti, Director of Nutrition & Exercise at Cenegenics Las Vegas. With the innovative Nutrition & Exercise Online Personal Tracker, the Cenegenics team can give patients relevant educational materials, present recommendations, send email alerts and offer a variety of tools to help them meet program goals: • Grocery list planning • Recipe and food recommendations, amount and number of times daily • Complete database of restaurants nationwide, along with what menu items are compliant with their customized Cenegenics program • Customized meal tracking/planning • Recommended water intake/ beverages • Exercise regimens/demonstrations • Suggested modifications to workout programs • Personal exercise program report, including frequency, intensity and duration • Complete tracking, including weight, circumference measurements, blood pressure and resting heart rate • Nutraceutical dosing/supplement information and reminders • Sleep tracking "The tracker creates an excellent opportunity for physicians and nutrition/exercise counselors to interact with our patients via an ongoing basis, allowing for a variety of factors necessary for success.

Our goal is to not only have a party where the girls have a great time and are entertained, but that the bride is presented with knowledge that, quite frankly, isn't served up any place other than a Surprise Parties Bachelorette Party." Dee Tracy of Wauconda, Illinois is living proof of the concept. "I just had my 3rd Surprise Party and it was a BLAST! My first Surprise Party was at my Bachelorette Party, whew what a good time; almost as good as the honey moon itself. Since then I schedule a party about once a year and find that it's a great reason to get the girls together for a fun evening. Everyone always has a great time! Surprise Parties is fantastic at presenting the products in a professional, mature way that doesn't make anyone uncomfortable and there are always lots of laughs!" When held in a private venue, such as the hostess's home, the party may take any form that pleases the hostesses and honors the bride-to-be. Dinners and cocktail parties, which provide comfortable opportunities for participants to talk or to give intimate advice to the bride-to-be, is the order of the evening. Intimate advice is only as valuable as the experience behind it, and Surprise Parties takes great pride in making sure that the 'information' is not only made available, but presented in a comfortable, fun, and party atmosphere. "I was shocked when I first arrived at my Bachelorette Party that my Maid of Honor hosted for me. Then it dawned on me, he thought he was going to rock my world on our wedding night and I decided with the fun love stuff from Surprise Parties I would make his eyes roll back in his head with excitement. Enough said - we've been married for 3 years and it's still a party in our bedroom - no boredom here." A Surprise Parties Bachelorette Party is typically hosted by one or more members of the wedding party, although it is possible for any friend to host a party in honor of the bride-to-be. The bride-to-be often participates in the planning of her Surprise Parties Bachelorette Party. "While it is normally the duty of a hostess to pay for the entertainment she gives her guests, that's where Surprise Parties truly shines...the event itself is FREE, and the hostess actually earns money and shares in the savings on products and novelties the anybody in the party can take home with them to spark a little 'honeymoon' interest at home!" said Wittrig.

Since then I schedule a party about once a year and find that it's a great reason to get the girls together for a fun evening. Everyone always has a great time! Surprise Parties is fantastic at presenting the products in a professional, mature way that doesn't make anyone uncomfortable and there are always lots of laughs!" When held in a private venue, such as the hostess's home, the party may take any form that pleases the hostesses and honors the bride-to-be. Dinners and cocktail parties, which provide comfortable opportunities for participants to talk or to give intimate advice to the bride-to-be, is the order of the evening. Intimate advice is only as valuable as the experience behind it, and Surprise Parties takes great pride in making sure that the 'information' is not only made available, but presented in a comfortable, fun, and party atmosphere. "I was shocked when I first arrived at my Bachelorette Party that my Maid of Honor hosted for me. Then it dawned on me, he thought he was going to rock my world on our wedding night and I decided with the fun love stuff from Surprise Parties I would make his eyes roll back in his head with excitement. Enough said - we've been married for 3 years and it's still a party in our bedroom - no boredom here." A Surprise Parties Bachelorette Party is typically hosted by one or more members of the wedding party, although it is possible for any friend to host a party in honor of the bride-to-be. The bride-to-be often participates in the planning of her Surprise Parties Bachelorette Party. "While it is normally the duty of a hostess to pay for the entertainment she gives her guests, that's where Surprise Parties truly shines...the event itself is FREE, and the hostess actually earns money and shares in the savings on products and novelties the anybody in the party can take home with them to spark a little 'honeymoon' interest at home!" said Wittrig.

Initial sales for this long awaited translation of Barry L. Friedberg, MD's landmark textbook, originally published by Cambridge University Press in April 2007, will take place at a dermatologic cosmetic surgery meeting Brazil. "Anesthesia in Cosmetic Surgery" discusses brain monitored propofol ketamine (PK) anesthesia, a breakthrough technique pioneered by Friedberg, the top international authority on anesthesia for cosmetic surgery. Propofol is an antioxidant, a sleep drug and powerful anti-nausea drug. Under PK anesthesia, patients wake up refreshed, looking as if they never had surgery. With the book's translation, Portuguese-speaking surgeons and anesthesiologists will be able to learn about and apply this technique to their practices. "I am very happy with my book's huge success in the English speaking world. I am even more thrilled to be able to say that my book is now available to surgical teams in the world's number one market in their own language," Friedberg says. "Anesthesia in Cosmetic Surgery" was the first anesthesia textbook to define levels of anesthesia numerically instead of with verbal descriptions. It was the first anesthesia textbook to define a reproducible context in which ketamine could be used to get pre-emptive analgesia without the drug's historically negative side effects. The pre-emptive analgesia breakthrough eliminates the need to give patients narcotic (opioid) pain medication during and after surgery. Narcotics are recognized as causes for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), the number one issue patient's most want to avoid. Brazilian, like American, surgery patients will receive PK's advantages of no PONV as well as minimal to no post-op pain. PK anesthesia had no deaths in the 12 years published in 'Anesthesia in Cosmetic Surgery' in 2007. By comparison, in only six years, there were 2,211 deaths recently published by Li, et al. in 'Anesthesiology,' April 2009. "Of these 2,211 reported deaths most either received an outright anesthetic over-dosage or received more anesthetic than they would have likely received had their brain had been monitored instead of the changes in their vital signs," says Friedberg. PK anesthesia was the inspiration for "Anesthesia in Cosmetic Surgery," the first comprehensive textbook in the field, and the first anesthesia textbook to have a brain activity monitor on its cover.

"L-Tox also contains important liver antioxidants and nutrients to nourish the liver for optimal function and health."

Most of us do not give much thought to the importance of the liver, but it is one of the hardest working organs in the body and plays a major role in metabolism performing more than 500 different functions and thousands of chemical reactions per day. "Most importantly, the liver is the main organ that filters the blood - about 2 quarts every minute - and it also metabolizes and eliminate toxins from the body," said Harvey. "L-Tox is an important dietary supplement for anyone ingesting large amounts of protein, using androgens, testosterone or pro-hormones, consuming alcohol on a regular basis, using prescription and non-prescription drugs or exposed to air pollutants and other environmental chemicals." L-Tox was formulated to complement Max Muscle's other intestinal detoxification and health products including, Max Cleanse & Lean, Max Green Synergy, and Max Glutamine.

Beyond answering the "whys" that arise in considering Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery, Hunt Christensen offers her unique perspective in this comprehensive book. LIFE WITH A BATTERY-OPERATED BRAIN (www.lifewithbobbook.com) is designed to be a highly readable guide for people with Parkinson's disease (PD), exploring the benefits of this particular surgery on many motor symptoms of the disease. "Deep Brain Stimulation is a process, not an event," explains Hunt Christensen. The author has firsthand knowledge of the procedure more commonly referred to as "DBS" and lived with Parkinson's disease for more than seven years before electing to be evaluated for DBS surgery. Ultimately, she was deemed a good candidate for the surgery, and DBS seemed like her only logical option--a choice that has been validated post-surgery, as Christensen now enjoys life with most of her motor symptoms well controlled. Parkinson's disease, the author is quick to point out, does not end, but DBS is meant to be a long-term treatment. Now Jackie Hunt Christensen offers readers a resource that was previously unavailable: a step-by-step look at her own journey, as well as information on a typical evaluation process, medical statistics, questions to ask neurosurgeons, opinions from other DBS patients, the programming process for DBS, and much more. "I wrote this book as way of giving back to the community," Hunt Christensen said. "DBS has given me back so much of my life! I want to share what I've learned from my own experience and others' to help inform the decisions being made every day by others looking for those same results." LIFE WITH A BATTERY-OPERATED BRAIN is a must-read for those who are considering Deep Brain Stimulation--and for those who love them. Health professionals can also benefit from reading the book, as certain diagnostic tools and therapies may not be safe for use on DBS patients or require specific precautions. Being released by Langdon Street Press today, LIFE WITH A BATTERY-OPERATED BRAIN will be available in bookstores and online at Life With a Battery-Operated Brain or Amazon.com.

Beyond answering the "whys" that arise in considering Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery, Hunt Christensen offers her unique perspective in this comprehensive book. LIFE WITH A BATTERY-OPERATED BRAIN (www.lifewithbobbook.com) is designed to be a highly readable guide for people with Parkinson's disease (PD), exploring the benefits of this particular surgery on many motor symptoms of the disease. "Deep Brain Stimulation is a process, not an event," explains Hunt Christensen. The author has firsthand knowledge of the procedure more commonly referred to as "DBS" and lived with Parkinson's disease for more than seven years before electing to be evaluated for DBS surgery. Ultimately, she was deemed a good candidate for the surgery, and DBS seemed like her only logical option--a choice that has been validated post-surgery, as Christensen now enjoys life with most of her motor symptoms well controlled. Parkinson's disease, the author is quick to point out, does not end, but DBS is meant to be a long-term treatment. Now Jackie Hunt Christensen offers readers a resource that was previously unavailable: a step-by-step look at her own journey, as well as information on a typical evaluation process, medical statistics, questions to ask neurosurgeons, opinions from other DBS patients, the programming process for DBS, and much more. "I wrote this book as way of giving back to the community," Hunt Christensen said. "DBS has given me back so much of my life! I want to share what I've learned from my own experience and others' to help inform the decisions being made every day by others looking for those same results." LIFE WITH A BATTERY-OPERATED BRAIN is a must-read for those who are considering Deep Brain Stimulation--and for those who love them. Health professionals can also benefit from reading the book, as certain diagnostic tools and therapies may not be safe for use on DBS patients or require specific precautions. Being released by Langdon Street Press today, LIFE WITH A BATTERY-OPERATED BRAIN will be available in bookstores and online at Life With a Battery-Operated Brain or Amazon.com.

"Finally, our employees understand that we need to work harder and longer during this economic slowdown if we want to continue to grow the company and remain profitable well into the future." Mr. Hanna went on to say, "For a company to grow it must consistently produce highly qualified (sales) prospects without relying on outside sources.

For the cash-strapped, uninsured or under insured, recycled medical equipment like a stair lift can be a literal lifesaver. It's a green business that saves more than the environment.

The poor economy means many are scrambling to find alternative sources for durable medical equipment like stair lifts, ramps, wheelchair lifts and scooters. The company has over 100 affiliated offices covering 80 percent of North America. "People need durable medical equipment as much as ever," said Bob Harvey, founder of SILVER CROSS. "As funding sources for the equipment are squeezed, SILVER CROSS provides a very valuable service, matching those in need up with the equipment they require at reasonable prices." Medical equipment that allows one to maintain their independence is not a discretionary item. A mobility challenged person who needs a stair lift has no choice but to use one. A wheelchair user must have a lift or a ramp to help them access their home. SILVER CROSS makes sure that people get the items they require affordably and without compromise in order to maintain their independence. "Since 1993, SILVER CROSS has saved seniors over 20 million dollars in health care equipment by providing high quality used products," said Bob Harvey, Founder of SILVER CROSS. SILVER CROSS provides lifts (stair lifts, wheelchair lifts and ceiling track lift systems), ramps, walk in bathtubs, electric scooters and more. Each item is inspected and reconditioned until like new. Because of the nature of the equipment, it has almost always been well maintained and like cars and homes, durable medical equipment holds it's value well and is sturdy, able to sustain long term heavy use. Used equipment can be a very, very good option for the elderly and the physically challenged. Lifts used both inside and outside are often highly portable. When they require modification to fit particular situations, even accounting for the cost of those modifications, used equipment is often a better deal than new. Trading in equipment when it is no longer needed fits the reuse and recycle ethos. It also is a great way to make money on items that are no longer needed while at the same time helping cash-strapped seniors and the physically challenged get access to the items they sorely need. "SILVER CROSS can help you find the ideal recycled or used mobility or accessibility device to fit your specific needs, and can help you determine what those needs are. We know that while saving money is indeed important, there can be no compromise to comfort, safety and functionality. Our goal is to deliver value on all of these fronts," Harvey said. About SILVER CROSS SILVER CROSS offers a lower cost alternative by providing recycled as well as new equipment. They offer an equipment repurchase plan and accept trade-ins to meet the demand for recycled equipment, providing reconditioning as required.

Hydrogen peroxide vapor is a safer alternative to formaldehyde, which has been banned in several European countries due to adverse health effects. The cabinets are routinely decontaminated in advance of service procedures; before relocation; when the type of micro-organism handled is changed; after serious spills; and finally when product contamination is suspected. According to Esco's findings, hydrogen peroxide vapor works faster and leaves the cabinet residue-free at the end of the decontamination cycle -- in addition to a variety of safety benefits. STERIS Corporation (Ohio, USA) and BIOQUELL (UK) are the world's two major vendors of hydrogen peroxide vapor generators. These papers explore the process using both STERIS and BIOQUELL equipment to decontaminate Esco biological safety cabinets, documenting: - Procedures for hydrogen peroxide vapor decontamination - Cycle parameters - Microbiological efficacy - Material compatibility "These papers demonstrate that hydrogen peroxide vapor decontamination can be accomplished successfully without any adaptations to current models of Esco biological safety cabinets," said XQ Lin, Esco president. "These studies position Esco cabinets as the industry's technology leader, and guarantee customers a 'future-proof' choice with Esco.

The verdict was rendered by a Manhattan jury on February 9, 2009 (Supreme Court State of New York Index # 116779/06). The victim was represented by partner Andrew J. Smiley, Esq. The tragic accident occurred at approximately 1:50am at the 14th Street - Union Square subway station on the southbound local "N" line. Prior to the accident, the victim had been out drinking with friends that evening and remembered getting to the entrance of the subway station, but did not recall any details of the accident or how he ended up on the subway tracks. Blood tests taken at the hospital revealed that he was intoxicated at the time of the accident, with a blood alcohol level of .18%. The Transit Authority claimed that the young man was solely at fault for putting himself in a position of danger on the tracks and claimed that the train operator did not have time to stop upon seeing movement on the tracks. Trial attorney Andrew J. Smiley proved that the train operator saw a "mass" on the tracks from over 180 feet away and that he was required to stop the train upon immediately seeing the unknown object. A Manhattan jury found the Transit Authority negligent and apportioned 35% of the fault to the victim. The jury awarded $3,594,943 to compensate the victim for his pain and suffering and medical expenses. "A subway train operator is obligated to stop a subway train before it strikes a large object on the tracks, even if it is not known that the object is actually an intoxicated person. The jury held the Transit Authority liable for not stopping the train when the operator had sufficient time to do so," said Andrew J. Smiley, Esq. Smiley & Smiley, LLP, a boutique law firm in midtown Manhattan, specializes in representing victims who have suffered catastrophic injury as a result of another's negligence. The firm also represents clients who have sustained serious injuries or wrongful death resulting from medical malpractice, construction accidents, automobile accidents and product liability.

Additionally, with the record number of Americans who are losing their jobs each month, it is hard for anyone to feel secure. These factors combined with the uncertainty of government leaders about how long the crisis will last - or what it will take to turn the economy around - can only exacerbate people's feelings of uneasiness. Sometimes referred to as the "winter blues," people's deepening feelings of anxiousness can often spread to the entire family. Marital fights flare up as spouses argue about overdue holiday bills and couples ask themselves "What do we do now?" Hearing parents argue and sensing family tension can trigger mental health disorders in children. A recent poll conducted by the American Psychological Association found that almost half of all adults said they are increasingly stressed about their ability to provide for their family's basic needs. In fact, about 8 out of 10 adults said that the economy is a significant cause of stress, up from 66 percent in April. The state of the economy is affecting mental health jobs as well. The National Council advocates for policies that ensure that people who are ill can access services. However, tough times are forcing states to reevaluate their allocation of funds. Often times this leads to mental health associations and care centers losing funding. This timing is unfortunate as community mental health centers nationwide have seen an upsurge in the number of new patients in recent months. "The loss of jobs and benefits is very stressful, so we are seeing more people facing depression, anxiety and psycho-somatic illnesses," said Janice Wilson, CEO of the NorthShore Health Centers in Portage, IN, where 75 percent of new patients in recent weeks are being referred for conditions related to job loss or the worsening economy. The Black Hawk-Grundy Mental Health Center in Waterloo, IA is expecting a 25 percent increase in the number of new mental health patients this year compared to last year. While some of the new cases are people with psychiatric conditions caused by a string of recent disasters in the area, others are people suffering from anxiety and depression brought on by the economic downturn. To help cope with what appears to be a long-term economic downturn, people can follow some simple guidelines: • Focus on positive aspects of your life. Look to family and friends to support you. • Exercise, maintain a healthy diet and a normal sleep schedule -- physical and mental health are connected. • Plan for the future as much as you can.

The entire landscape for hair transplants was revolutionized in 1995 when Dr. Bernstein first conceived the concept of Follicular Unit Transplantation. He theorized that hair follicles which were transplanted in their naturally occurring groups (follicular units) would achieve more natural results in hair transplants. This information was published in Dr. Bernstein's paper, Follicular Transplantation. The paper was a milestone in the treatment of both men and women suffering from hair loss. "The goal of this webinar is to inform those who suffer from hair loss of the many options that they have for hair restoration," said Dr. Bernstein. "Of course this will include a discussion covering the various types of hair transplant surgery, but we will also correct some of the common misconceptions that many people have regarding hair transplants." Dr. Bernstein's New York hair restoration practice - the Bernstein Medical - Center for Hair Restoration - provides patients with the most advanced medical and surgical therapies for male and female pattern baldness. Hair loss patients are given a thorough evaluation and then a detailed explanation about the nature of their hair loss and the best therapeutic options, both medical and surgical. The webinar, Hair Transplantation Today, will take place on February 10th from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST. The webinar is open to the public, although space is limited.

[PRWeb Jan 29, 2009] http://www.prweb.com/releases/CATF/2009_Season/prweb1925574.htm Wed, 28 Jan 2009 14:23:40 -0800 podcrew@extrahoop.com Contemporary American Theater Festival (CATF) is pleased to announce their 2009 lineup of new plays. "The addition of a fifth play during our last season was very well received," stated Ed Herendeen, CATF Founder and Producing Director. "In our nineteenth season, we will continue building on that energy with five new American plays from five award-winning playwrights." The 2009 season will run from July 8 through August 2 at Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, and will feature the following plays in rotating repertory: Farragut North by Beau Willimon - Set in Iowa during a tight presidential primary race, press secretary Stephen has a career that men twice his age would envy. Thrown into backroom politics, how do you choose between lust for power and loyalty to the cause? This political drama is a classic tale of hubris set against the landscape of small town America… a look at ourselves. Yankee Tavern by Steven Dietz - Just when you thought you'd heard every 9/11 theory in the world… a man walks into the Yankee Tavern. There, a young couple find themselves caught up in what might be the biggest conspiracy of them all. Witness this fierce and funny dramatic thriller and know once again that what you don't know can hurt you. Fifty Words by Michael Weller - Marriage is no walk in the park. This domestic drama is a hair-raising roller-coaster ride to the painful, funny, revealing and ruthlessly honest heart of modern marriage. Most audiences with any experience of cohabitation will recognize themselves in this emotional battleground of contemporary relationships. Love hurts… and it's not necessarily pretty. The History of Light by Eisa Davis (World Premiere) - Imagine your father's college girlfriend tracking you down and sending you a stack of his fervent love letters. But what if you never knew your father, or a true, reciprocal love? A young singer's life is transformed as her past becomes her present. Swelling with the music of a grand piano, here is a passionate fusion between fathers and daughters, lovers and friends. Dear Sara Jane by Victor Lodato (World Premiere) - Sweet Sara Jane, alone at home, waits for her soldier husband to return from war. After too many bourbons, she poses dangerous questions and exposes nasty secrets. Sister and mother, fantasy and fact, it's all twisted together in this mix of metaphysical stand-up and mad cabaret. One woman, not really alone, in this solo play with songs. The CATF Box Office will open March 9 with pre-season hours Monday through Friday from noon until 5:00pm, with the online box office open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Single ticket prices begin...

The Cleveland Law Firm of Spangenberg Shibley & Liber has recently added news regarding these types of cases on their website SpangLaw.com. The personal injury attorneys at SS&L said that they expect the number of lawsuits arising from the alleged defects in this acetabular cup component to grow, as more patients experience failures. [PRWeb Jan 15, 2009] http://www.prweb.com/releases/zimmer-durom-cup/recall-lawsuits/prweb1855314.htm Tue, 13 Jan 2009 17:30:50 -0800 podcrew@extrahoop.com The New York Times". After discovering an unexpected number of hip implant failures, Zimmer Inc. voluntarily recalled one of its artificial hip implants, the Zimmer Durom Cup. Some of the patients who must now undergo expensive and painful revision surgery have filed product liability lawsuits. In light of this developing news the Cleveland Law Firm of Spangenberg Shibley & Liber has addressed this issue with new content on their website SpangLaw.com. Initially approved for market in March 2006, the company touted the Zimmer implant as superior for active patients since less bone removal was required than with conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA.) In late Fall 2007, however, Zimmer's foreign counterparts received reports that the product showed a "high amount of wear due to malpositioning of the cup after about one year." Notwithstanding this warning, the Durom Cup continued to be marketed and implanted by surgeons in the United States who were unaware of the problems encountered in Europe. In April 22, 2008, just two years after the implant was released into the U.S. market, a nationally recognized orthopedic surgeon, Larry Dorr, M.D. warned his colleagues within the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons of an unacceptably high failure rate. Specifically, he had found that 14 of the 165 Durom hip cups implanted had required a revision surgery - a failure rate that far exceeded those of other available implants. Because the implants easily popped free during the revision surgeries, Dr. Dorr's team concluded that the patients' hip bone had been unable to incorporate the implant likely because of defects in the cup's design and surface coating. In response to Dr. Dorr's warning, Zimmer informed surgeons that it was internally investigating the complaints. In an apparent attempt to reassure surgeons of the implant's safety, Zimmer cited to its own clinical trials and international experience dating back to 2003. Within the same letter, however, Zimmer acknowledged that the U.S. version of the implant was not identical to the European version. Following Dr. Dorr's warning and Zimmer's response, the Food and Drug Administration received several 'adverse event reports' concerning this possible defective medical device. Under mounting pressure, on July 22, 2008, Zimmer temporarily suspended marketing in the U.S. or voluntarily recalled the device. In what appeared to be an attempt to blame the implanting surgeons' technique, Zimmer claimed that 'revised surgical technical instructions and a surgical training program' were required 'to achieve desired clinical results in the U.S.' In an apparent about-face, however, Zimmer later told at least some of the patients requiring revision surgery that it did 'not fault' the surgeons and was 'taking the responsibility for corrective action.'
