2014/15 has been a busy 12 months for our organisation, our customers and our communities. It's fair to say a lot has happened. Here are just some of the highlights.
Thanks to a process of improvement and modernisation and an investment of over £8.6 million, we're pleased to say that over 99.9% of our homes now meet the government's Decent Homes Standard.
Only 1 of our 12,810 homes failed to meet standard. This property is now empty and will be sold.

homes benefited from external wall insulation; this has cut customer heating bills by 30% on average
homes also benefited from the installation of Solar Thermal technology. This can reduce hot water bills by up to 70%, saving the average household £70 per year.

Our overall performance continues to improve. Customers were very positive about the quality of work carried out and the way our operatives treated their homes with respect.
As a result of multi-skilling our operatives we now complete 9 out of every 10 repairs in the first visit, meaning fewer appointments and less inconvenience.

"In January we rolled out an improved way of working across our neighbourhoods following a successful pilot project in Moss Bank.
As an organisation this has enabled us to do more for our money while still maintaining a high standard of customer service.
Specialised roles have been created focussing on place and enforcement, so we can target those neighbourhoods which face the greatest challenges on our estates. Working within pre-tenancy allows me to assist existing customers with any issues or enquiries that may impact upon them."
Nichola Norton, Customer Service Support Officer
"I live on my own and sometimes find it hard to get around and do things others take for granted, but with the Staying Home service I have the security of knowing help is just a click away.
The Helena staff who visit me are really friendly and treat me as a person they care about not just a routine visit they have to go to. We always have a good chat and it's the small things that really make a big difference.
I'm much happier living in my home and I can rest comfortably knowing that if I ever did get into trouble Helena would be right there to help me."
Frank Stott, Customer
"Earlier in the year holes were drilled on Rainford Road to create a virtually inexhaustible underground natural heat source. This was then connected to a new heating system which runs directly into our customers' homes.
Thanks to the thermostats fitted in every flat, residents can now keep the temperature of their homes constant and in line with Age UK recommendations. This means healthier customers, less energy being wasted and a saving of over £10,000 a year on heating bills across the sheltered scheme.
At Helena we are always looking at ways we can combine the latest technologies with value for money. Investing in projects like this, with help from the government's Renewable Heat Incentive, means it may be more expensive initially but over the long term we are actually receiving income as a reward for reducing costs as well as our carbon footprint, plus creating sustainable and more affordable homes for the future."
Martin Roughley, Sustainability and Innovation Manger
"When I first got involved with the Parrmount Court improvement group I didn't think I'd have a lot of say in what was planned to our community room.
I couldn't have been more wrong, myself and other residents have been involved every step of the way, choosing everything from the colour of the paint, picking flowers and what we use to reupholster the furniture.
Helena really took what we had to say on board; we love the finished results and are really proud of how it looks.
We have a lovely community here, plus the staff are fantastic and are always there to help and advise no matter what."
Joan Morris, Customer
"I moved into my new Helena home as soon as it was ready and it's perfect for me and my little boy.
It's spacious, close to where I work as well as the shops, plus my mum lives just around the corner and there's a park over the road too.
It's a brilliant family home and I'm now looking forward to watching my son grow up in a place we all feel safe, comfortable and happy."
Katie Dancer, Customer
We believe that value isn't just about how much things cost, but how much good we can do too. That's why we monitor every pound we spend across all our activities and carefully measure the effect it has.

"Every year we invest heavily in maintaining and improving our homes. This not only helps us to meet the government's Decent Homes Standard but is also a cost effective way of making our properties more sustainable and extends their useful life.
The money we spend also means we can pass benefits on to customers too. From saving money on energy bills through to reducing responsive repairs, we continually work towards providing places everyone can feel proud to call home."
Gary Howard, Assets Systems Manager
"Our customers have increasingly higher aspirations and expectations and over the last year Neighbourhood Services has adapted to meet these demands by restructuring itself into a more targeted and efficient service.
Specialist roles such as the Neighbourhood Enforcement Officers have meant that anti-social behaviour and criminal activity can be more effectively targeted to a higher standard. While Neighbourhood Place Officers have been tasked with more flexibility and empowerment to tackle issues on our estates, working smartly to analyse and identify emerging risks.
We also work very closely with external partners to sustain tenancies, address vulnerability issues, assist people into work and improve the environment of our neighbourhoods, all of which is good news for our customers."
Jeff Keenan, Neighbourhood Co-ordinator
"I've been a stay-at-home mum to my 4 children for the last 8 years and becoming part of New Futures has helped me in so many ways. Before I applied for lots of jobs but struggled to get interviews, and if I did, they didn't go as well as I'd hope so my confidence was knocked and I started to wonder how I would ever find work.
I'm so excited to be starting my placement and can't wait to build my skills hands-on in the workplace. Thanks to Helena I now believe I can do it."
Kellie O'Brien, New Futures Attendee
Our customer service centre, One Call, deals with on average 780 calls per day. That's around 80 calls more per day than last year.
Even with this increase in demand we have still managed to maintain or improve our call handling performance. What's more we have also seen improvements to our overall satisfaction figures.
In the last 12 months we have improved our digital services to make them easier and quicker. We have set ourselves a target to get 80% of our tenants transacting with us by 2020.

"I really wanted to give something back to the community I'd grown up in, so when I found out that Helena was looking for a young person to join their Tenants and Communities Committee I jumped at the chance.
Over the last few months I've completed a number of recruitment interviews and met other members to discuss the issues that matter most. I'm now very much looking forward to providing a voice for young tenants and helping Helena to improve their homes and services for people of all ages."
Rio Bridge, Tenants and Communities Committee Member
"I've been a Helena customer for 25 years and they are always giving people like me the chance to learn new things.
I've learned so much since starting the weekly Digital for All classes, you learn at your own pace and the staff are always very helpful and friendly. The sessions aren't just a learning experience, they provide a relaxing environment to socialise and meet new people in too. I'd encourage anyone to take the opportunity and come along."
Bill Melding, Customer
"As a team we strive to ensure customer satisfaction is as high as possible, but one common complaint we receive is the time that we take to respond to non emergency repairs.
We now work fewer hours in the summer and more in winter to cover peaks in demand so that customers don't have to wait as long for an engineer to call. We have also introduced initiatives like additional training, gas forums and peer to peer shadowing so engineers are more flexible, we get the job done right first time and as a result there are fewer unexpected delays.
We are also very proud of our recent Gas Safe Inspection result, but customers can help us to achieve even more by keeping to appointments, allowing us access to their property, and letting us know when any gas or solid fuel appliances are fitted in their home."
Vincent Mather, Gas Engineer
We know that the safety and appearance of our neighbourhoods is a top concern for our customers. Along with rent, it's one of ours too. Here are just some of the ways we've tried to improve our places:
We engaged 1,403 young people across St Helens via our Make it Happen initiative, which is funded by the Big Lottery Fund. We held 584 events, and completed 57 projects giving them the chance to gain the skills they need to become active members of their communities.
We invested £600,000 in our communities to help customers into work and training and to reduce
anti-social behaviour
nuisance cases were resolved. That's 58 cases on average for every 1,000 properties that we own.
We're committed to supporting those experiencing anti-social behaviour and continue to work closely to tackle these issues.
of customers were satisfied with the outcome of anti-social behaviour cases
Rent arrears continue to be a challenge and customers risk losing their home. Whilst our performance remained within target we aim to improve.
of rent was collected. Our rent collection rates are still above target despite the increased pressures on household budgets.
3% of rent owed to us was not paid, this includes rent owed from previous years. Whilst this is better than our expected target of 4%, it still means £2,191,366 of outstanding rent was not paid last year and we aim to improve.
This year we have introduced a number of initiatives to support customers going into arrears and guard against the challenges of Welfare Reform and Universal Credit. This puts us in the top 50% of similar housing associations.
Turnover is less than 9% of our total stock. This equates to around 1,100 empty properties this year which is significantly less than the 1,400 vacancies we were expecting.
to re-let our homes
It took less time to re-let our empty homes. We missed our target of 36 days due to bringing a number of empty properties back into use. We also took a proactive approach to the introduction of welfare reform by helping to transfer customers affected.
Following government changes to welfare reforms we have seen a significant drop in demand for our larger properties. As a result we have spent £600,000 on converting these low demand empty houses into smaller homes to meet the shortage.
Changes to benefits and economic hardship mean that we aim to help and support our most vulnerable customers find work opportunities, manage their finances and reduce arrears.
customers helped into work
customers helped into training and 7 into volunteering
residents involved in our activities
We also encourage all our customers to get involved in what we do and how we do it. This could be helping to run the company through our Value Improvement Panel or making a difference to our neighbourhoods through the new Tenants and Communities Committee.
"Neighbourhood Services have been transformed this year with a more specialised way of working being introduced across the organisation.
As a Neighbourhood Enforcement Officer I have found that I now have the time to carry out challenges earlier, resolve and close cases much quicker and more efficiently.
This new proactive approach has not only reduced costs to the business but also had a positive effect on our customers, protecting them from the potential negative effects of nuisance behaviour in their communities."
Colin Goldthorpe, Neighbourhood Enforcement Officer
"With the support of Helena we've been able to establish a new Home Watch group in Thatto Heath.
Across the Queensland and Sutton Heath estates residents and local partners will now look at the issues that matter most and how together we can create safer, more pleasant places to live.
This group is all about listening to residents to improve our communities from the inside out and it's so rewarding to see relationships between neighbourhoods grow and estates transformed."
Janet Glover, Customer
"I heard about Helena's latest employment event from my Jobcentre Plus Work Coach Advisor. On the day I got the chance to explore lots of options and talk directly to employers, and it was this conversation that secured me a job.
Working at Chalon Court has been a brilliant opportunity for me, I've already become a lot more independent, my confidence has grown and I'm gaining skills and experience in the workplace everyday.
I feel very lucky to have had Helena's help."
Stella Martin, Employment Event Attendee
"The Tenants and Communities Committee works closely with the Value Improvement Panel to monitor and make certain that Helena is able to maintain the standards we as tenants expect from our landlord.
Together in the last year we have carried out scrutiny reviews on a number of service areas, these included complaints management, performance and target setting and kitchen and bathroom replacement.
With funding being reduced even further this year, it is essential that we continue to work in this way to achieve the best results for all."
Don Ramsey, Customer and Tenants and Communities Committee Member
"The Value Improvement Panel is a group of tenants like me who actively hold Helena to account, with a key focus on driving down costs.
Over the last 12 months we have undertaken further training, developed an action plan with clear measures and targets and continued to gain national recognition, presenting at 2 conferences on our approach to customer-led scrutiny.
Improved efficiency is the key to the success of any business and I am pleased to be in a position to help Helena make sure the services they provide are what matters most and that they continue to be sustainable too."
Shirley Gibson, Customer and Value Improvement Panel Member
In July 2015, the government announced big changes which affect the amount of rent we can charge in the future and the way in which benefits are paid to some of our tenants.
These changes mean that we need to reduce our costs significantly over the next four years. Our focus will be on our core purpose, to provide affordable homes, and we will review the way in which services are provided at the moment to see where we can make savings.
We will talk to our customers and stakeholders about these changes, and listen to their ideas about how we can save money.
"It has been an exciting year for Helena as we joined forces with Golden Gates Housing Trust to form a new group called Torus. On a day-to-day basis your landlord remains the same, but by coming together and becoming a bigger organisation we believe we can do things more efficiently and safeguard our business in very challenging times.
As ever we remain fully committed to investing and improving our existing homes and building new affordable properties.
Since joining Helena back in April when Torus was launched, I have seen first hand how passionate you are about your communities as well as how hard our staff are working. I am extremely proud of all our teams, and am sure that by working together we can continue to provide affordable homes and good quality services to our customers."

DALLAS - If you want a pillow and blanket in coach on American Airlines, it's going to cost you.
The airline will charge $8 for a pillow and blanket in coach class for domestic trips and some international flights longer than two hours, beginning May 1. The international flights are to and from Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, the Caribbean and Central America.
Spokeswoman Andrea Huguely said Monday it was an economic decision.
She said blankets will remain free in premium-class cabins and in all cabins for other international flights.
The airline will sell a blue fleece blanket with an inflatable neck pillow in a clear zippered pouch, and will throw in a coupon for $10 off a $30 purchase at Bed, Bath & Beyond, Huguely said.
JetBlue and US Airways charge $7 for a blanket-and-pillow set, with US Airways adding eye shades and earplugs.

Name, Bats/Throws, Age
1. Manny Acosta
R/R, age: 30
Very quietly was one of the team's most dependable relievers in 2011. The Mets rewarded him by tendering him a deal for this season.
2. Pedro Beato
R/R, age: 25
Kept as a Rule 5 pick last year, Beato disappointed his manager down the stretch. A spot in the bullpen this season is far from guaranteed.
3. Tim Byrdak
L/L, age: 38
The lefty specialist is back. Byrdak can shut down left-handed hitters, and manager Terry Collins likely won't ask much more.
4. D.J. Carrasco
R/R, age: 34
The recipient of GM Sandy Alderson's only multi-year deal for 2011, Carrasco disappointed last year. His role is not defined for this season, and he may begin the year in Buffalo.
5. Robert Carson
L/L, age: 23
He has worked as a starter most of his career, but after a stint in the bullpen in the Arizona Fall League, might see more time as a reliever in the future.
6. R.A. Dickey
R/R, age: 37
Back in one piece from his mountain-climbing expedition, the knuckleballer once more should provide value for the rotation.
7. Jeurys Familia
R/R, age: 22
He emerged as a top prospect after 2011, and could see time in the big-league bullpen or rotation this season.
8. Frank Francisco
R/R, age: 32
The team's new closer is one of the better strikeout relievers in baseball. Now he moves to the N.L. for the first time.
9. Dillon Gee
R/R, age: 25
By the end of 2011, hitters had caught up to him. Gee relies on precision and guile.
10. Jeremy Hefner
R/R, age: 25
If Johan Santana can't pitch to start the season, this righty might be in the team's rotation. Otherwise, he'll be with Buffalo.
11. Jenrry Mejia
R/R, age: 22
Once the organization's top prospect, he's in the final stages of recovery from Tommy John surgery. Should be ready by May.
12. Jon Niese
L/L, age: 25
His peripheral statistics suggest he could be a top-level pitcher. The Mets hope his production matches his potential this season.
13. Bobby Parnell
R/R, age: 27
His tryout at closer last season went poorly. So Parnell will be handed a lower-leverage role in the bullpen this season.
14. Mike Pelfrey
R/R, age: 28
The pressure is off now on Pelfrey, who floundered in 2011. Now all the team asks is for 200 solid innings.
15. Ramon Ramirez
R/R, age: 29
He throws strikes and possesses a nasty slider. Acquired from the San Francisco Giants, he'll be a late-inning fixture.
16. Jon Rauch
R/R, age: 33
The veteran gave up an inordinate amount of homers last season. If that rate fluctuates back to normal, he'll be a useful piece.
17. Armando Rodriguez
R/R, age: 24
If his command improves, he could become a viable bullpen option down the road. Otherwise, he might not spend much more time on the 40-man roster.
18. Johan Santana
L/L, age: 31
All eyes will be locked on his left shoulder this spring. His health is the team's biggest question mark.
19. Chris Schwinden
R/R, age: 25
He started last season as a reliever in Double A. He finished as a member of the big-league rotation. He'll likely spend most of 2012 in between those two levels.
20. Josh Stinson
R/R, age: 23
Same story as Schwinden: He's unlikely to make the big-league roster, but he'll still be given time to develop.
1. Mike Nickeas
R/R, age: 28
Rather than spend money on a veteran backup, the team opted for Nickeas. Pitchers like throwing to him, but his bat is an issue.
2. Josh Thole
L/R, age: 25
He slumped out of the gate in 2011, but rebounded well enough. If his receiving becomes more polished, he might be able to stick as the starter for a few years more.
1. Ronny Cedeno
R/R, age: 28
He'll be the player backing up Ruben Tejada at shortstop. And if Tejada falters, Cedeno will be ready to start.
2. Ike Davis
L/L, age: 24
Was last April a sign of his future production? Can he stay upright? If both answers are "yes," Davis will be one of the team's best hitters.
3. Wilmer Flores
R/R, age: 20
He was once the organization's top hitting prospect, but a stagnant 2011 showed he still needs work at the plate. And his future as an infielder may be in doubt.
4. Reese Havens
L/R, age: 25
The saying goes: If he could stay healthy, he'd be the big-league second baseman by now. But this 2008 first-round pick hasn't stayed healthy. Maybe 2012 will be different.
5. Zach Lutz
R/R, age: 25
The third baseman clubbed the ball at Triple A last year, but a concussion ended his season early. Otherwise, he might have reached the majors.
6. Daniel Murphy
L/R, age: 26
Will the third time be a charm? Murphy's knees have been shredded during his last two chances at second base. The team needs his bat in the lineup.
7. Josh Satin
R/R, age: 27
He hit well at Double A in 2011, but his production tailed off with Triple-A Buffalo, even as he earned a brief big-league stint.
8. Ruben Tejada
R/R, age: 22
This is his time. He replaces his friend, Jose Reyes, in the center of the diamond. If he can replicate his .360 on-base percentage from last season, the team will be satisfied.
9. Justin Turner
R/R, age: 27
Given the signing of Cedeno, his presence is a little redundant. But Turner will be a pinch-hitting option, and insurance if Murphy goes down.
10. Jordany Valdespin
L/R, age: 24
He took a solid step forward last season, but his game still requires a good bit of polish before he can be considered ready for the majors.
11. David Wright
R/R, age: 29
This could be his final season as a Met. And he knows it. Wright isn't excited about the impending trade rumors, but hopes to bounce back from 2011's injury-wrecked campaign anyway.
1. Jason Bay
R/R, age: 33
His first two years as a Met were filled with mostly disappointment. Perhaps the decreased dimensions at Citi Field will alleviate his power outage.
2. Lucas Duda
L/R, age: 26
His .852 OPS in 2011 was a welcome addition to a lineup desperate for power. Now about that defense ...
3. Scott Hairston
R/R, age: 31
The well-liked, hard-swinging reserve is back for his second year with the Mets. He'll again be utilized against lefties.
4. Juan Lagares
R/R, age: 22
He broke out in 2011, slugging .500 between Class-A and Double-A Binghamton. If he keeps hitting — and can find a position — he might figure more prominently into the future.
5. Kirk Nieuwenhuis
L/R, age: 24
A shoulder injury short-circuited his 2011 season in Triple A. Otherwise, this versatile outfielder might have forced many to learn how to spell his last name.
6. Cesar Puello
R/R, age: 20
Added to the 40-man for Rule 5 protection, Puello still needs plenty of time to develop, but he has showed progress each season.
7. Andres Torres
S/R, age: 34
He'll be the new center fielder and leadoff hitter. Even after a horrific 2011 season, fans and teammates in San Francisco still adored him.
Name, Bats/Throws, Age
1. Miguel Batista
R/R, age: 40
The old horse could fill a variety of roles, from swingman to Triple-A depth to fifth starter.
2. Fernando Cabrera
R/R, age: 30
The journeyman reliever provides another arm for the minor-league system. He didn't pitch in the majors last season.
3. Matt Harvey
R/R, age: 22
Along with Zack Wheeler, Harvey is considered a key to the franchise's future. The team hopes he can be ready for a September call-up.
4. Daniel Herrera
L/L, age: 27
He and his screwball were bounced from the 40-man roster, but has a chance to make the club as a second lefty specialist.
5. Chuck James
L/L, age: 30
He's a lefty who doesn't throw very hard, but controls the ball. He whiffed 9.6 batters per nine innings in Triple A last season.
6. Garrett Olson
R/L, age: 28
A former first-round pick with the Baltimore Orioles, he should see some time as a swingman.
1. Rob Johnson
R/R, age: 28
His receiving skills have impressed over the years, but he batted just .190 with San Diego in 2011.
2. Lucas May
R/R, age: 27
He and Johnson will contend with Mike Nickeas for the backup catcher spot. He slugged .479 for Arizona's Triple-A team last year.
1. Valentino Pascucci
R/R, age: 33
If you don't want to drive up to Buffalo this summer, you can catch one of the Bisons' offensive generators this spring in Florida.
2.Omar Quintanilla
L/R, age: 30
A former first-round pick with the Oakland Athletics, he was acquired in case Tejada and Cedeno fall by the wayside.
1. Mike Baxter
L/R, age: 27
Scooped off waivers last summer, Whitestone's own played sparingly down the stretch. He was nixed from the 40-man roster, but will be in competition for a bench role.
2. Matt Den Dekker
L/L, age: 24
Blessed with tremendous athleticism, this minor-leaguer is considered an outstanding outfielder. His bat needs work, but made strides last season in Binghamton.
3. Adam Loewen
L/L, age: 27
The No. 4 pick in the 2002 draft as a pitcher, injuries sent him back to the plate. He'll battle Baxter for the left-handed bench spot.
4. Vinny Rottino
R/R, age: 31
Terry Collins is interested to see how Rottino hits this spring. He could provide versatility as a stopgap reserve.

|More information:
Anna May Wong was an international celebrity whose friendships with intellectuals and artists included the famed Chinese actress Butterfly Wu, Walter Benjamin, Carl Van Vechten, Paul Robeson, Edward Steichen, and Mei Lan Fan. Even though Anna May Wong made many landmark films, discrimination against Asians in Hollywood insured that she was passed over for the lead role in the film version of Pearl Buck's The Good Earth. Apparently Wong was "too Asian" for the role. The British Film Institute recently released a newly restored version of Wong's classic film Piccadilly and the world will, once again, thrill to the artistry of this great actress. Graham Hodges' biography of Anna May Wong rediscovers one of Hollywood's most legendary actresses and is a must for film lovers."--Jacket.

- Earthshots Photo Of The Day Contest Winner, July 24th 2011
This is probably my favorite Michigan waterfall. Sure, there are bigger and taller falls, but none quite as charming if you ask me.
The hike to this falls is grueling. You have to battle steep rock climbs, treacherous hills, biting insects, and a score of wild animals just to get to the thing. On our way to this one, I was horribly maimed by a ferocious black bear, but if you think I was bad, you should have seen him! Youch! Despite losing 10 gallons of blood, a leg, and both my hands, I trudged on, ever ready with the camera to bring back the image.
OK, yeah, that didn't happen. Actually it's only a 100 yard hike from the parking lot to get to this little gem. 😀
Once there, I (of course) didn't care for the platform view, so up and over and down to creek for this view of the falls. Hope you like it too!
About Our Prints....
I currently sell individual prints only. Each image is custom printed in house by me on our commercial grade inkjet printer. Each print is individually inspected and carefully packaged for shipment.
Please note that if you'd like another type of print (canvas for example) or another frame style, we can certainly accommodate you, just use the contact us page and we'll customize the artwork to make it perfect for your home.
(Note - we are no longer offering framed prints. The potential for damage in transit was very high and the shipping for large framed prints was outrageous, sometimes costing over $100 for larger pieces. Additionally, we've found our clients seem happier when they can work with their own local framing shop.)
Our framed prints are guaranteed for as long as you own them against wear, fading, or deterioration. Loose prints are also guaranteed for as long as you own them provided you have them framed under glass using archival materials. We want you to LOVE your prints, so we offer a refund as long as the print or framed print is returned in like new condition within 30 days.
All prints have a signature in the corner, usually the lower right hand when possible.
Delivery time varies and depends on a number of factors, but we always strive to get your prints delivered to you as quickly as possible. I personally inspect each and every piece before it leaves our building. If I'm out of town taking more photos, it can cause a delay, but a good rule of thumb is that a loose print will ship within 2 weeks and a framed print within 3 weeks. That time is significantly shorter if I'm in town at the time the order is placed. If you need a print done by a certain date, you can contact me and I'll be happy to give you an estimated delivery date.
We are now offering quantity discounts if you are interested in two or more pieces. Simply contact me with the sizes and names of the images you are interested in and I will be happy to get you a quote. The more pieces you order, the better the discount.
Thanks for your interest!

Love pictures taken in Michigan. My ancestors came from there, nice to see what they may have. Hard to decide which ones to put on my desktop. Would love to see these in person. Peggy
Much more impressive than the waterfall in my back yard pond! Like.
Hello! Just want to say thank you for this interesting article! =) Peace, Joy.
The falls look just like they did the last time I saw them: Marvelous. Thanks for sharing.

Dr. Geoffrey Westrich Honored as Top Orthopedic Surgeon in New York Magazine's "Best Doctors" Issue
Dr. Geoffrey Westrich has been named a top orthopedic surgeon in New York magazine's latest guide to the "Best Doctors in New York."
Physicians named in the "Best Doctors" guide are selected based on a survey of their peers, taking into account professional qualifications, reputation and patient care skills, according to New York magazine. Making the list is a highly competitive process.
"It's an honor and a privilege to be among the select group of physicians chosen for this guide," said Dr. Westrich, co-director of joint replacement research at Hospital for Special Surgery and associate professor of orthopedic surgery at Weill Medical College of Cornell University.
Dr. Westrich has special expertise in hip and knee injuries and diseases, arthritis management, mini-incision joint replacement, minimally invasive hip and knee surgery, complex hip and knee reconstruction and revision surgery, including the most difficult cases. He is considered a leading researcher in blood clot prevention following joint replacement and has received numerous awards for his work.
Dr. Westrich's successful efforts to save a woman's leg from amputation, after five other doctors said it was hopeless, were featured as a "medical miracle" in New York magazine and on various online and television news reports. He is often called upon by the media for his expertise.
In addition to his medical degree, which he received from Tufts University School
of Medicine, Dr. Westrich has a background in engineering. Upon graduating from Tufts
School of Engineering, he was invited to join Eta Kappa Nu, a prestigious engineering honors society. His degree in engineering comes into play when he is called on to help design new and improved joint replacements and surgical instrumentation.
Along with the prestigious New York magazine guide, Dr. Westrich is consistently named a leading physician in the Castle Connolly Medical guides How to Find the Best Doctors in New York and America's Top Doctors.

The chair of one of the charities behind Berwick's Party on the Parade has implored the town council, "please help us to help the town".
Berwick Rotary Club and the North Northumberland Fundraising Group for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research - which organise the annual street party in front of the Barracks - have pleaded their case after the town council revealed it may not fund this year's event.
Appealing to the town council's events committee last week, representatives from both charities said the party could not continue without its financial input.
Rotary chair Simon Landels attracted locals and visitors alike in 2012 and 2013, and was successful in bringing the 'feel good' factor to Berwick.
"Party on the Parade took a lot of organising," Mr Landels said. "It was very successful and attracted a large number of people, both to the event, and to the town in general."
He added that both charities had been disappointed to learn, via the press, that funding may not be forthcoming for this year's event.
Helen Tait, chair of the North Northumberland Fundraising Group, said: "After the first Party on the Parade we all vowed not to do it again because it had been such a massive amount of work. It was only after Councillor Robertson asked the Rotary if they would do it again to help resurrect the May Fair that we agreed to take on the massive task.
"There are two reasons why we volunteered to do the street party. One, to give locals and visitors a really good day with the feel good factor, which in turn helps the local economy; and two, to raise money for our respective charities."
Addressing the events committee, which will decided whether to allocate funding for this year's event next month, she warned: "We had hoped to make this year's event much bigger and better, but this won't be possible without your support."
Mrs Tait insisted that the biggest winners from the Party on the Parade were the people of Berwick. "The town and its people need a major event like this which helps put Berwick back on the map," she said. "Please help us to help the town."
Coun Phil Elliot, who represents Magdalene ward, commented that although the charities had done "an amazing job", the council had to be careful not to set a precedent. "Other organisations that have come to us have been asked that in the second and third year they become self sufficient," he said. "If we did this, and didn't treat it the same as we did everybody else then it's not fair."
But Lower Spittal councillor Hazel Bettison said: "This is a bit different because we asked for it, and these were the only two organisations who came forward. I think this council should be supporting the running costs."

Starting a Global Business, With No U.S. Employees
Efrem Meretab is bucking the trend and starting a business. The Eritrean-born physics Ph.D. left his job as a stock analyst to launch MCAP Research LLC, a Montclair, N.J., business aimed at helping investors process reams of company earnings reports. Over the past two years, he has developed the company from an idea to a working website with paying customers.
But he hasn't hired a single U.S. employee or made any significant capital investments in computer servers or other infrastructure. His experience demonstrates how advances in technology and communications are allowing some small companies to sell products world-wide without creating many jobs in the U.S. or spending much money on things made in the U.S.
When Mr. Meretab needed software developers to help him create the company's core product, which can extract and display information from myriad earnings presentations in a matter of seconds, he turned to a global network of programmers he had consulted to solve problems in the past. He has hired developers in Belarus, Ukraine and Pakistan, all of whom tapped their own networks to complete the tasks he gave them at a fraction of the cost of U.S.-based developers.
"You wouldn't be able to do this six years ago," he says. "I'm a global company."
The ease with which people like Mr. Meretab can tap the global labor market helps to explain one of the unique phenomena of the current recovery: the small number of U.S. jobs created by start-ups. In 2009, an average of about 340 of every 100,000 American adults said they had started a business in the previous month, up 11% from 2007. But most of those are zero-employee ventures that don't technically count as new companies. Over the same period, the number of jobs created by new-employer concerns fell 11%.
The 56-year-old Mr. Meretab also didn't have to solve one of the trickiest questions facing any business: how much to invest in the capacity needed to handle future sales. Instead of buying servers to handle the website's traffic, he simply rents the computing capacity he needs from Amazon, which sells its own extra capacity using "cloud computing" technology. As a result, he doesn't need nearly as much up-front capital, avoiding the problems many businesses face borrowing money from banks or raising funds from investors.
"All that stuff that would cost tens of millions of dollars we do on a usage basis," he says.

Zook will be joined by men's basketball assistant coach Tracy Webster, soccer head coach Janet Rayfield, and volleyball head coach Don Hardin. The event takes place at 7 p.m. on Thursday in the Stadium Club area of US Cellular Field.
"We have a tremendous lineup in place for our fans in the Chicagoland area," said Chris Hanna, Assistant Director of Athletics for Sales and Marketing. "We look forward to a great event in a tremendous venue."
Zook continues to make frequent visits to Chicago. Among the dozens of trips he makes to Chicago each year, he added the first Chicago Spring Game in 30 years and is part of the first organized Fighting Illini tour of Illinois in five years. He will return for more public events including Illini Day at Wrigley Field in June and an alumni gold outing in July among in addition to numerous unpublicized visits.
"Our athletic department places tremendous value on our relationship with the Windy City," Hanna said. "We will continue to explore opportunities to build our ties in Chicago and throughout the state of Illinois in support of our tagline 'Illinois: It's Where We Live. It's Who We Cheer.' We're the name of state school and we will continue to make that statewide connection as strong as possible."
Fans will have an opportunity to hear each coach speak, collect autographs, and take photos. The Division of Intercollegiate Athletics hopes to expand its coverage of the state with a larger tour in future years. Photo galleries of the US Cellular Field event, which kicks off the 2007 Fighting Illini Meet 'n' Greet Tour, as well as all successive tour stops will be posted online at fightingillini.com in the days that follow each event.

Am I judging his motives? Absolutely. He has given this forum enough reason to do so. Am I being unfair? Probably. But not as unfair as he has been on our players those last few years.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.

I'll say this is where we disagree. The only reason I believe Lance needs to start is because I believe GH is deficient in ball handling and passing. He's a very good player, but would be much better suited as a backup. IMO he's a perfect backup guard because he can play either the one or the two, but he doesn't have the skillet I want to see in a starting pg - even considering we don't run a ball dominate system. He doesn't need to be Steve Nash but he has to be able make teams pay for pressuring him full court. And he can't - he doesn't have the vision or ball handling skills to make teams pay. Instead we run our offense against a shorter clock.
I find the suggestion that the offense needs GH to facilitate, but it can do without Lance (a much better passer and ball handler) to be ....... confusing.
I think some of you are looking too much in what the "experts" predicted about Lance. He wasn't ranked in the ESPN top 100, which was and is still laughable. I implore everyone to watch him play, enjoy it. Who cares if you thought he couldn't excel at this level. Being drafted in the second round means nothing 3 years later
No bums for 2016-217
How exactly was he a rookie last year?
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
It was his first year he got minutes every game. His first two years, he rarely got to play. I consider last year Lance's rookie season.
No bums for 2016-217
Here is the original Post by Hicks:
I look at it this way:
Option 1 ) Put the Best Lineup on the floor with Lance playing most of his minutes with the Starters where Granger will be the 1st Wing off the Bench and thus creating an average 2nd unit:
- Play GH/Lance/PG/West/Hibbert for 30 mpg
- Have Granger play more minutes with CJ/Scola/Mahinmi and OJ/Solo/Copeland
Option 2 ) Put the 2nd Best Lineup on the floor with Granger playing most of his minutes with the Starters where Lance will be the 1st Wing off the Bench and thus creating an above average ( and IMHO a far more effective ) 2nd unit:
- Play GH/Granger/PG/West/Hibbert for 30 mpg
- Have Lance play more minutes with CJ/Scola/Mahinmi and OJ/Solo/Copeland
I can see the argument for putting the "best lineup on the floor as much as possible" but I have no problem with putting the 2nd best lineup on the floor ( which I don't think is a HUGE dropoff with Granger in the starting lineup compared to Lance ) and creating a much more effective 2nd unit with Lance leading the way while ensuring that Lance ( not Granger ) finishes the game.
What I want to do is to have Lance be utilized the same way that Manu ( when he was healthy and relevant ) was used by Pops....as a 6th Man that got Starter minutes but played as much with the 2nd Unit as he did with the Starters and ultimately finishing games.
Keeping in mind that I want Lance to finish games......I am inclined to create an overall effective Team on the floor that can compete for 48 minutes a game, as opposed to one that can only effectively do that for 30 mpg.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Are you suggesting you wouldn't have a concern if the Pacers lost a couple games where Lance or GH lead the team in shot attempts instead of PG?
It gets to a point where it just seems like people are trying to come up with any idea to get Danny back into the starting lineup. Lance is playing great, so let's try to move Hill out of the lineup instead. What has Hill done to deserve getting booted from the starting lineup? He's been a clutch stud since moving into the starting position late in the 2011-12 season. Hill is a better player than Granger right now until proven otherwise. So even if Lance by chance became the PG (I don't see that happening), Hill should still be his back court mate with Paul staying at SF.
Is this about doing what's best for the team, or is it about trying to come up with any possible way to get Danny back into the starting lineup? It's fair to wonder.

The only issue is if you want to do hockey line type substitutions - which I am totally against. All five starters shouldn't be off the court at the same time.

There are legit reasons why you don't want Lance to be completely dominating or controlling the flow of the offense or have the ball in his hands for 30+ mpg when he's on the floor with GH/PG/West/Hibbert. However, the same argument can't be applied to the 2nd unit where CJ and OJ are arguably the best ballhandlers/shot creators in that lineup.
The bottomline is that we are not fully utilizing Lance his best skill ( creating for others ) when he's playing with GH/PG/West/Hibbert because there simply isn't as much of an opportunity for the ball to be in his hands for the majority of the time that he's on the floor. This isn't IMHO the case when some combination of Scola, Mahinmi, Solo, Copeland, ( and to a lesser degree ) OJ and CH start filtering into the lineup. You need a Player like Lance in that lineup to make them more effective on the offensive end as a whole and why this is one of the main reasons why I advocate Lance running mostly with ( but not exclusively ) the 2nd Unit.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
You get better in the NBA during the offseason. Lance had already had the benefit of 3 years of NBA coaching and 3 NBA training camp. Not to mention getting paid to play thus freeing him from other concerns.
I hate this mindset with players. Just because a player does see PT doesn't mean they are stunted. They are still freed up to practice all they want without having to worry about school. In Lances case the reason he didn't play was because he wasn't playing well enough to get PT. It makes no sense to wait to call somebodys rookie year the year in which they are good enough to demand PT.
I guess I'm glad we don't have Lebron in our team because we all know how much he kills it with the bench when he is playing close to 48 minutes a game during the playoffs.
@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!
To me, it's irrelevant when both Granger and Lance will get the same amount of minutes as long as we acknowledge that Lance will be the guy that finishes the game or is on the floor during crunchtime.
If Lance plays the majority of his minutes with the 2nd unit ( as I suggested before, maybe some split of 18 mpg with the 2nd unit and 12 mpg with PG/GH/West/Hibbert ), then he will likely be the 1st Player off the bench unless Lance starts and GH, PG, West and Hibbert. But if there is a way for Lance to Start but play the majority of his minutes with the 2nd Unit....that is fine ( how that works from a rotation POV...I have no clue ).
My whole point is that I want Lance to play with the 2nd unit for the various reasons I mentioned. Whether Lance is Starting or if he is the 6th Man coming off the bench doesn't matter to me, I just care about who plays the majority of his minutes with....the 2nd unit.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
EDIT: I also disagree that DG can or should play the same minutes as Lance. Lance can easily handle the 35 -36 mins he's playing now. There is no way DG will average that amount IMO. 28 - 30 mins should be DGs max at this point IMO.

Opera at the BBC Proms — the world's biggest Music Festival
London's musical life shuts down for eight weeks while the Proms reign supreme, and no wonder !
Kseniia Muslanova from the Russian Federation has won the 3rd annual Elizabeth Connell Prize for aspiring dramatic sopranos held at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in Sydney Australia on 3 September 2016.
Victory Hall Opera is a new company making its debut in Charlottesville Virginia on August 14, 2016. Its first presentation will be Richard Strauss's and Hugo von Hofmannsthal's Der Rosenkavalier.
Lyric soprano Elizabeth Caballero's signature role is Violetta in La traviata, which she portrays with a compelling interpretation, focused sound, and elegant coloratura that floats through the opera house as naturally as waves on the ocean.
Maria Nockin interviews baritone Brian Mulligan.
I arrive at the Jerwood Space, where rehearsals are underway for Garsington Opera's forthcoming production of Idomeneo, to find that the afternoon rehearsal has finished a little early.
Tickets on Sale NOW for June 10 & 12 Performances at UNLV's Performing Arts Center Box Office
A Double-Bill of Divine Comedies
With its merry-go-round exchange of deluded and bewitched lovers, an orphan-turned-princess, a usurped prince, a jewel and a flower with magical properties, a march to the scaffold and a meddling 'mistress-of-ceremonies' who encourages the young lovers to disguise and deceive, William Makepeace Thackeray's The Rose and the Ring has all the ingredients of an opera buffa.
Kathleen Kelly is an internationally renowned pianist, coach, conductor, and master teacher. She was the first woman and first American named Director of Musical Studies at the Vienna State Opera.
Atsuto Sawakami is a slightly built man in his late sixties with impeccable, gentlemanly manners. He communicates a certain restless energy and his piercingly bright eyes reveal an undimmed appetite for life.
'Lieder v. Opera'? At first glance it might seem to be a pointless or nonsensical question.
Extreme Dolly Parton fans may sound like unlikely subjects for an opera, but they are the major characters in Heartbreak Express, a collaboration of composer George Lam and librettist John Clum.
Last year's Oxford Lieder Festival made something of a splash when it encompassed all of Schubert's songs, performed in the space of three weeks. This year's festival, the 14th, which runs from 16 to 31 October 2015 has a rather different, yet still eye-catching theme; Singing Words: Poets and their Songs.
The First of Three Donizetti Queens She Will Sing at the Met This Season
For a company founded in 2013, Odyssey Opera has an astounding track record. To take on Korngold's Die tote Stadt is ambitious enough, but to do so within only a year of the company's founding seems almost single-minded.
The name of Hibla Gerzmava has been famous in the opera world since 1994, when at age 24 the Abkhazian-Russian soprano won the Grand Prix at Tchaikovsky International Competition, entering its history as the first and only vocalist to have been awarded the highest prize.
American tenor René Barbera is fast making a name for himself as one of the top bel canto singers in opera houses around the world.
(Boston, MA) — Odyssey Opera, a Boston-based opera company dedicated to exploring the full spectrum of adventurous repertoire, presents the Boston premiere of one of France's great operas, Le Cid (1885), composed by Jules Massenet (1842–1912).
I'm interviewing Stefano Mastrangelo in the immediate aftermath of his conducting La Traviata for the Chofu City Opera in Tokyo on 22 November 2014; he conveys an air at once of tiredness and exhilaration.
Apotheosis Opera is proud to announce their inaugural production will be a fully-staged English translation of Richard Wagner's early masterpiece TANNHÄUSER on Friday, July 31, 2015, at 7pm and Sunday, August 2, 2015, at 3pm at the theatre of El Museo del Barrio (1230 5th Avenue) .
London's musical life shuts down for eight weeks while the Proms reign supreme, and no wonder !
The Proms are the world's biggest classical Music Festival. For eight weeks, they are a barometer of what's happening in music. The BBC broadcasts every Prom worldwide, online and on demand. With this huge, international audience, the Proms are truly a worldwide celebration, bringing music lovers together wherever they may be.
The Proms have a formidable reputation for excellence. They've been running for 114 years, almost without a break. Most concerts take place in the Royal Albert Hall, a monument to the Victorian idea that culture advances human progress. Nearly every significant composer and performer over the last century has featured at the Proms, and the atmosphere is unique. To be in this spectacular building when 7000 people are cheering is an amazing experience, which the BBC captures remarkably well, supporting the broadcasts with many extras on its comprehensive website — they even tell you about the mysterious "Proms sub-culture" ! Many Proms are televised.
The Royal Albert Hall is famous for large scale orchestral music, but opera, too, is heard to advantage. This year's big event is Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea. It's a concert performance of the Glyndebourne production, performed by the highly regarded baroque specialists, Emmanuel Haïm and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Glyndebourne is the epitome of "country house opera", where top quality productions take place in glorious settings. The BBC Proms makes it possible for everyone listening to catch some of the magic. This isn't one to miss — it's on July 31st .
Puccini's Il tabarro follows on August 11th, with Barbara Frittoli as Giorgetta and Lado Ataneli as Michelo. Jiřì Bělohlávek is at last being recognised as a superlative Janàcěk conductor, so Osud on August 21st will be another highlight, particularly as Bělohlávek's work is seldom recorded. Even rarer is Rimsky-Korsakov's Kaschey the Immortal on September 5th. Vladimir Jurowski conducts. He's been a sensation at Glyndebourne and at the South Bank, and this is his kind of repertoire.
The Proms also bring Messiaen's St Francis of Assisi straight from Amsterdam. It's almost exactly the same cast, with Rodney Gilfrey as St. Francis, and Ingo Metzmacher conducts the Hague Philharmonic rather than the Residentie Orkest. This should be intriguing, as this 5 hour blockbuster is quite an undertaking. Again, unmissable ! James Sohre reviewed the original Amsterdam performance for Opera Today here.
These operas are just the tip of the iceberg. There's also Verdi's Requiem, Handel's Belshazzar, Janàcěk's Glagolitic Mass (conducted by Boulez), Bach's St John Passion, and the massed choir spectacular that is Messiaen's La Transfiguration de Notre Seigneur Jésus Christ. Among the singers who will be heard are Karita Mattila (Strauss Four Last Songs), John Tomlinson (excerpts from Boris Gudunov), and Angelika Kirchschlager (Schubert). The famous (or notorious, depending on your point of view) Last Night of the Proms is always an experience, but Beethoven's 9th Symphony which always features before the Last Night. "Alle Menschen werden Brüder, wo dein sanfter Flügeln wielt". People all over the world are brought together, wherever The Proms "wings" can reach. Nothing expresses the ethos of the BBC Proms spirit better ! And thanks to international broadcasting and the internet, the dream can come true, for a while.
The BBC Proms website with a link for listening may be found here.

Road to escalator is finally complete
The paving of El Reversadero, the main access to the escalators in Comuna 13, is an event worth celebrating as all residents are well aware of. They threw a block party when most of the work was completed last month and even danced on the new pavement, the only thing missing were the sidewalks, which are finally done.
The escalators are one of the reasons Medellín was nominated as one of the world's most innovative cities by the Urban Land Institute. Final details like some landscaping and a handrail will be installed by January 26th.
