Getting Close While Building from Afar

When the Whipple’s decided they’d had enough of California taxes and traffic, Ben went on the Internet looking for golfing communities. Then a friend, the publisher of a golf magazine, told them they had to take a look at The Cliffs, where one membership meant seven courses to play. “One for every day of the week.” A smile as big as a bunker breaks out across Ben’s face at the very thought of it. “The Cliffs is just Disneyland for golfers.”

Science Lends Art a Hand and a “Mini” Revolution Begins

…A technological breakthrough, the daVinci-S Surgical robot allows Lewis to perform the most delicate of heart surgeries – bypasses and complicated valve repairs – through keyhole-sized “mini” incisions rather than large cuts through the ribs and breastbone, with unparalleled precision and control. The robots sophisticated design and instrumentation exceed the natural range of motion of the human hand while its state-of-the-art imaging technology provides a real-time, 3-dimensional interior view of the heart – at a magnification 10 times that of the human eye.

When Phyllis Krieger’s Heart Was Broken, We Mended It

Accustomed to getting up at 6 a.m., walking and playing tennis, Phyllis Krieger hadn’t been to a doctor in 25 years. I’m one of those people who believes if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.” But when the usually active sixty-something suddenly started feeling lethargic and short-winded over the last couple of months, she asked a friend to help her find a doctor. “I knew something was wrong; I just didn’t know what it was.” Her friend recommended board-certified Dr. Cristina Cuevas-Korensky of the Medical Group of Tampa Bay…

…It took four years to capture the great taste of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing in a bottle. But we did. It was introduced nationally in 1984. Consumers responded so enthusiastically that Hidden Valley Ranch Bottled Original Ranch has become the biggest selling item among bottled dressings. And Clorox, who almost singlehandedly created the flavor, commands the leading market share in the Ranch Category.

Fall/Winter 2011

Mudding the May

If you know the Lowcountry, you know about Pluff Mud, that glorious dark, loamy soil that infuses our wonderful marshes. As we like to say down here, it’s something that gets on your clothes, in your blood, and even into your soul. It conjures up memories of crabbing, oyster troaats and boggin’ – running and sliding in Pluff Myd, an age old sport among locals.

Just like The Ones You Used to Know

The Pottery Barn brings back the memories – and the feelings – of an old fashioned Christmas. Of a home filled with family treasures and the smell of gingerbread. When giving gifts and decorating for the holidays were a true expression of affection. And the spirit of the season was as warm as a fireplace. For a Christmas just like the one you used to know stop in at the Pottery Barn near you…

Childhood...

need not be measured by years. It’s far better to mark age by innocence, as we do here at Lake James, whose waters seem an eternal fountain of youth. Perhaps it is the simple treasures of this place — sun-kissed waters, forests of dappled light, birdsong and laughter in the air. Days here where the mountains meet the lake are adventurous and carefree; texts and tweets are forgotten; and paddles, lures and stories around the fire are the order of the day.

You’ve Got A Friend

Neither recognized the other. It had, after all, been 50 plus years. But as men do at Dattoli Cancer Center, they began a conversation. It started with “Where are you from?”... “I asked where he was from, and he said Pittsburgh,” Frank recalls. “I told him I was from Pittsburgh, too. He asked where I grew up and I said Mt. Lebanon. He said that’s where he grew up.” Soon the two men had narrowed things down to a street. Lynn asked Frank his name and when Frank responded, Lynn said, “One of my best friends in high school was Frank Battaglia. My name is Lynn Foltz.” “I looked in his eyes. They never changed,” Frank says, and the years melted away. At that, the two old friends stood and embraced.

Easy Riders

On any given Sunday morning, about 10 or 12 Harley, Suzuki, and Yamaha motorcycles roar up to the gates of Glassy Mountain, their riders’ eager to take to the highway in search of adventure. To be sure, this is no rowdy biker gang. “In fact,” member Buzz Buvinghausen says, “to the best of my knowledge there’s only a single tattoo among our 20 or so riders, and that belongs to the retired chief information officer of the state of New York, Jim Dillon.”

Caring for the Community and One of Their Own

“I was suddenly very weak and dizzy,” Rita says. “I was taching away in the 180s – my blood pressure was through the roof [tachycardia: abnormally fast heart rate]. I knew what was happening because I’d taken care of so many patients who had gone through it. So I got to the hospital. I just had an electrical short, an electrical anomaly. So I planned to have an atrial fibrillation ablation.” An atrial ablation is an electrophysiological procedure where a catheter is inserted, finds the electrical malfunction and ablates it, essentially scarring the myocardial so the electrical impulse doesn’t travel where it shouldn’t. “If I hadn’t done it, I would have had to give up nursing, the thing I love.”

Cancer 360+ Magazine

Offering Hope Now… and in the Future

Every cancer has its own specific genetic markers. That’s led to a search for treatments that target specific cancers, a fact that over the past few years has dramatically changed the dynamics of the clinical trials that investigate new drugs. Today, trials are larger and more accessible through efforts like those at Florida Cancer Specialists, allowing more patients to be able to participate. That’s leading to more effective therapies making their way to market faster. The result: Cancer survival rates continue to rise.

For the Love of the Game

Like many boys, Craig Brown dreamed of playing baseball when he grew up. He played Wiffle ball in his backyard and the Little League, was an All-Star for his T-ball team and pitched varsity for the Lahser High Knights in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He became a lifelong fan of the Detroit Tigers. Nearly half a century later, when he talks about the team, you can still hear the boy in his voice. As an adult, he headed up several of advertising’s biggest agencies but after overseeing three of the industries most defining mergers, he decided to change careers and on a whim bought a baseball team.

Limit Your 401(k) Plan Exposure

As your Company’s 401(k) Plan Sponsor, you have specific fiduciary responsibilities – and liabilities. As the plan fiduciary, you shoulder the responsibility for the plan selections you make, increasingly intricate compliance requirements, and the fees charged against your plan’s assets by plan providers. Soon, new Department of Labor regulations take effect requiring full disclosure of 401(k) plan fees. Because fees can seriously erode earnings, this change will prompt questions from employees about the integrity of your plan. If you don’t have the right answers, it could lead to employee lawsuits.

Some See A Wall
We See A Place To Breakthrough

Breakthrough kidney, liver and lung transplants are life- saving procedures pioneered by the Doctors of USC. All the more incredible is that many of these transplants, even heart and pancreas transplants, are performed without transfusion….

We have plenty of fall fun to go around!

A Reason to Run

Every morning at 4:30, Cyndey Cammarata’s alarm goes off. She puts on her running shorts and shoes, grabs a protein bar and her ever-present water bottle, slips quietly out her front door in Siesta Key and runs eight to ten miles over the next hour and a half.
