A true story: “One day a raging fire destroyed everything I possessed, including my beloved jewellery. Only one piece survived the inferno practically undamaged: my Wellendorff necklace adorned with a golden angel. After this fire, jewellery has a completely different meaning for me; because it proves that miracles do happen.� Letter from Inga Lasmane of Riga, Latvia.
This letter is the inspiration for our new collection. It came as a welcome reminder of the true value of jewellery: To offer joy and protection.

Regular Hemispheres readers have noticed that the magazine has been evolving pre y steadily over the last few months, and few of the changes have been as striking as the design of our covers. A er years of using illustrations, we recently decided to make the switch to photography, using what Hemispheres art director Christine Bower-Wright dubs “travel abstracts.” These are vivid detail shots tied to our signature “Three Perfect Days” features. “They’re meant to pique your interest,” Bower-Wright says, “to give you an opportunity to question what you know about a place.” They’re also in line with our philosophy of travel: O entimes it’s the li le details that can make a trip so gratifying. For more information on this month’s cover, turn to page 6.

CEO LETTER
Investing in Our Future WELCOME ABOARD, and thank you for choosing United for your flight today. At the new United, we are investing significantly in our onboard product as we continue to integrate our two companies to create the world’s leading airline. Although we continue to operate as separate airlines for now, we have some exciting enhancements that we’re making to both carriers’ fleets. We are gearing up to add Economy Plus seating to the entire mainline fleet of our Continental subsidiary, and the Boeing 767-400s will be the first aircra to get this popular feature. We are also completely retrofitting our popular p.s. service aircra with a nose-to-tail renovation, including flat-bed seats, Economy Plus, audio and video on demand and Wi-Fi. In addition, we will be installing flat-bed seats, audio and video on demand and in-seat power on the 767-400s we use for long-haul international service. We are also working to complete
the installation of flat-bed seats in the premium cabins of the rest of our international fleet. We already have flat-bed seats and audio and video on demand on over 120 aircra , more than any of our US competitors, and when we are done, wherever you fly with us on long-haul international flights, we will offer you a flat-bed seat in our premium cabins. On the domestic front, because space and convenience are important to you, we are expanding the overhead bins in the Airbus 319 and 320 aircra , nearly doubling the capacity for carry-on bags, and refreshing the interiors of those aircraft. You will also begin to notice first-class seating on our Q400 regional aircra . We also have signed a le er of intent to install Ka band wireless broadband on our aircra featuring DirecTV, and have plans to install wireless access across our entire mainline fleet. We will also be adding the highly popular Channel 9 audio service to the Continental mainline fleet. Channel 9
permits customers to listen to inflight communications between our pilots and air traffic control. Our inflight product is only part of the experience that we are improving. We will be introducing our rebranded lounge program, the United Club, in a couple of months, and have plans to refurbish and upgrade lounges across the system. We are investing in our facilities, including installing jet-bridges for our regional aircra at O’Hare, building a new terminal for our regional aircra in Houston (as part of our planned multi-year, $1 billion investment in our Houston gateway hub) and upgrading baggage systems at our hubs to improve bag service for our customers. While we are making great progress in our integration, our most important goal is to always provide clean, safe and reliable transportation to our customers. We appreciate your business and look forward to having you onboard again soon. Thanks again for flying with us today.

Pursuing Plan A When you have a passion for flying, the dream is worth the sacrifice. BY A. AVERYL RE DONALD TURNER just naturally stands out. Thanks to his uniform and the fact that he’s six and a half feet tall, the Houston-based first officer draws a fair amount of attention when he walks through the airport, which is a good thing for bewildered passengers trying to make their way around the terminal. “I hate rushing, and I’m normally early, so if I see someone who needs some help, I’ll say, ‘I’m going that way, I’ll show you,’” Turner says. “We’re in the service industry. We forget sometimes that people don’t fly every day. This may be the first time they’ve been to the airport in five years. Imagine if that’s your mother. Somebody on earth loves them dearly, and I try to remember that.” In a journey that took him from his boyhood in New Orleans, where he watched Navy planes fly overhead, to the flight deck of the Boeing 757s and
12
767s he flies today, Turner has stood out in another way: in the tenacity and hard work it took him to get there. He sums up these qualities by saying, “This is what I wanted to do. There was no Plan B, except that Plan B was to make Plan A work.” Turner and his wife Tacanesha worked their way through Texas Southern University, where Donald pursued a degree in aviation management. In his second year, he met Continental Captain Roscoe Edwards, who volunteered to teach him how to fly. Full-time school, full-time work and a growing family didn’t keep Turner from earning his degree and furthering his training at Western Michigan University. Although he finished training in 2002 in the wake of 9/11, he was determined to “do something with planes” until he accumulated enough hours to try for a position as a pilot.
Looking back on the long road to his dream, Turner says he wouldn’t change anything because the struggle made him who he is. “Going through it, you get discouraged. When things don’t go your way, it can be heartbreaking,” Turner says. “I hear statistics that only 6 percent of the population is doing what they really love. I fit in with the 6 percent, but I can relate to the 94 percent. Sometimes you have to do a lot of what you don’t want to do to get to do what you want to do.” That perspective is one reason Turner believes he is good at his job, and it stands as a constant reminder of the value of the people who choose to fly with the airline. “People aren’t paying for a jet ride. They’re paying for an experience,” he says. “As much as I can, I try to make flying a good experience. I try to make it a smooth ride. I want to treat my passengers like gold because I appreciate every single one of them. Without them,” he adds with a smile, “I would have to get a real job.” Along with the joys of doing something he really loves, Turner says one thing he has had to adjust to is standing out simply because of the uniform he puts on. “I had this one lady come up to me and grab my hand. She had to be in her mid-80s. She said, ‘Baby, I’m sorry, but I just had to grab your hand. I’ve never seen a black pilot before.’” Turner pauses when he tells this story, before he goes on. “Things like that humble you because they let you know that you are always being watched. I always try to put my best foot forward.” Turner uses his visibility as a pilot as much as he can by reaching out to young people who are now where he once was—in school and needing encouragement to pursue their dreams. He volunteered for two years at Sterling, the Houston Independent School District aviation magnet high school. He also travels around the country on his own time to speak at schools and universities. “How can I refuse?” he asks. “So many people helped me along the way. I don’t consider it work. This is what I’m supposed to do.”

Unmatched Travel Benefits The new MileagePlus Explorer Card provides exclusive privileges As part of the continued progress we are making to create the world’s leading airline, we recently announced that MileagePlus will be the loyalty program at the new United beginning in 2012. Moving to a single loyalty program is a significant step in the integration of United and Continental. After choosing a single loyalty program, we unveiled the all-new MileagePlus Explorer Card in partnership with Chase Card Services, which provides exclusive airline privileges and unmatched travel benefits when cardholders fly on United. The card also provides other benefits that extend throughout our customers’ entire travel experience. Just a few of the perks include first checked bag free, priority boarding, complimentary United airport club passes and more award seat redemption options. The MileagePlus Explorer Card benefits are also available on the Continental Airlines OnePass Plus Card. Our partnership with Chase enables MileagePlus members to earn even more miles with
their everyday spending, which can be redeemed for travel on United and all 27 Star Alliance member airlines, as well as for hotel stays, car rentals and merchandise. The new MileagePlus Explorer Card was designed for those looking to enhance their entire travel experience; it is truly unmatched in the marketplace in the access it delivers and value it offers to United customers. The card also offers a comprehensive suite of travel protection benefits, including trip cancellation and trip delay coverage, auto rental collision damage waivers, roadside assistance and 24/7 travel emergency services. So go ahead, be an explorer and see all that the new MileagePlus credit card has to offer.
ASK THE PILOT With Captain Mike Bowers
Q: What do the chimes we hear in the cabin after takeoff and before landing signify? A: The chime sound onboard the aircraft is one of several ways for the pilots to communicate with the flight attendants. We also have interphone and public address functions available to us. For routine operations we use the chimes because they are less distracting for the pilots and more accessible to the flight attendants. The chimes you hear when passing 10,000 feet while climbing let the flight attendants know that they can announce the use of approved electronic devices and also that they can begin their service. On descent, they mean just the opposite, that the flight attendants can announce the end of electronics usage and that they need to terminate their service and prepare the cabin for landing. Do you have a question for Captain Bowers? Write to him at askthepilot@ united.com
For more information about the United MileagePlus Explorer Card, or to apply, visit www.UnitedExplorerCard.com or call 1-888-744-6899. The $95 annual fee for the new MileagePlus Explorer Card will be waived for the first year on a promotional basis. New MileagePlus Explorer Cards will exclusively be Visa cards. Fees for additional/ oversize/overweight bags will apply. Purchase of ticket(s) with MileagePlus Explorer Card required. See www.united.com/chasebag for details.

COLCHAGUA, CHILE
Shaken, and Stirred Chile’s wine country bounces back THOMAS WILKINS BIGGS had been asleep for barely 15 minutes when the world came undone. The managing director for Viñas de Colchagua, a winemakers’ association in Chile’s Colchagua Valley, Biggs had been up late into the night entertaining guests before dutifully returning home with his wife’s requested chocolate. At around 3:35 a.m. he awoke to the sounds of walls and ceilings buckling, paintings falling and his daughters crying. “The movement was incredible,” he remembers, gazing away. Last year’s historic 8.8-magnitude earthquake collapsed bridges, split INFOGRAPHIC BY GAVIN POTENZA

buildings and shi ed the Earth’s figure axis by three inches. Once the human toll had been calculated (Biggs’ family was unscathed), a ention shi ed to Chile’s industries, especially wine. The fifthlargest exporter of bo led wine to the U.S., Chile has majestic growing regions beloved for their high-quality vintages at wallet-friendly prices. But its postquake losses were significant: Toppled tanks and scattered barrels spilled 125 million liters at a cost of a quarter of a billion dollars. Observers questioned the industry’s future.
Today, the damage can still be seen, but just barely. With a remarkably resilient a itude found across Colchagua, Chile’s vineyards have rebounded. Century-old adobe walls have been rebuilt to modern standards, tanks are now secured to both the ceiling and floor to achieve some earthquake resistance, and the industry even posted around a 12 percent increase in exports since the quake, according to Wines of Chile. “We had to show all the people who believe in us that we can make it,” says Biggs. “There was no time for crying.” —MICHAEL B.

DISPATCHES
JEAN-GEORGES VONGERICHTEN stands in the kitchen of Dune, his 10-year-old restaurant at the One&Only Ocean Club on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, and admires a piece of grouper. “Look at the color,” he says, in French-accented English. “It’s almost like mother of pearl.” Indeed, below the surface of the silvery meat there are hints of green and purple. “Out of the Chef Jean-Georges’ big catch water at 10 this morning,” he says approvingly (at 4 p.m.). BY JOE KEOHANE There’s a good story behind that fish. Just over a decade ago, when he was launching Dune, the celebrity chef and owner of dozens of restaurants traveled under the bridge leading to Paradise Island to look for a noted local spearfisherman named Allen Brown. But when Jean-Georges asked to buy his fish from Brown (with a stack of cash in his pocket), the man refused. He had dealt with big hotels and their bounteous red tape before and didn’t need the hassle. Undeterred, Jean-Georges invited Brown up for a meal. To make a point, he cooked a signature dish using frozen grouper, and the results so horrified Brown that he agreed to work with Dune—if only to stave off any further piscine abominations. “Since then he’s come in with fish every day,” says Jean-Georges, grinning. In a ma er of minutes, the grouper is done, served just a bit crispy on the outside in a sauce of Tabasco, soy sauce, bu er, vinegar, ketchup and a splash of lime. He got the idea years ago from a pushcart vendor in Thailand. “Best sauce in the world,” he says, and takes a bite. Even with a restaurant empire in his charge, this is what makes him happiest. “I still do five, six hours a day in the kitchen,” he says. “It’s my therapy. It’s what I do.” NASSAU, BAHAMAS

Off the Wall FREERUNNERS TAKE L.A.
Running across a rubbery red gym floor, Gabriel Nunez, a 27-yearold freerunner whose Matrix-like stunts have appeared in The Green Hornet and The Expendables, takes a flying leap over a three-foot-tall vault using one hand. The dozen students standing around him nod in appreciation. “You don’t want to be too close to the block,” Nunez says. “You can do whatever you’d like with that foot; I personally like to slice it.” This is the Tempest Freerunning Academy, a new 7,000-square-foot indoor playground situated 30 miles outside of downtown L.A. It’s the first of its kind in North America dedicated to freerunning, a new sport that builds on parkour, the improvisational street sport that Nunez wryly describes as “the craft of moving through one’s environment in the most efficient and safe way possible”—only adding an array of injury-defying flips and twists. After class, open gym commences, and the warehouse starts to look like a surreal superhero training camp. Men (and it is mostly men; there are only two female participants) run up walls and perform front flips on the floor. They hop from the floor to the roof of the bathroom, leap from there into a giant foam pit, and skip alongside a small wall painted to look just like the brick ones in Super Mario Bros. “You are constantly testing yourself on a new obstacle or in a new environment,” says Nunez of freerunning’s appeal. “Not a lot of other sports constantly push you to try something outside of the box. This one,” he says, as people fly through the air around him, “definitely does.” —TRICIA ROMANO

Jared Martin climbs into the trees each morning in the green hills above Vancouver, where he oversees an a raction that is both the city’s oldest and its newest: an 1889 suspension bridge 300 feet above the bo om of a canyon carved by the Capilano River, alongside an even more impressive glass-bo omed walkway held in place by cables bolted to the 160 million-year-old granite rock face. The exhilarating new draw, Cliffwalk, which opened for a test run this past summer, is a 700-foot maze of suspended stairs, decks and 20-inch-wide bridges hanging 30 stories over this West Coast rainforest on a cliff so steep its builders had to include a special platform near the start for stricken visitors who want to turn back. With eagles wheeling above and salmon swimming in the rapids below, Cliffwalk “gives you that extra sense of awe and fascination,” Martin says. Though bouncing is verboten, the concept is a nod to a video-game generation that expects additional adrenaline in its nature walks. “At the exit, all I hear is, ‘Wow.’ People don’t stop to smell the flowers so much anymore—or, in this case, the trees. And that’s what we’re trying to give them an opportunity to do: tap back into nature.” Cliffwalk is open yearround, but it’s at its most intimate early in the morning and during the off season, especially in December, when its living Christmas trees are decorated for the holidays. As for Martin, he goes there every day. “My office is the forest,” he says. “I can’t really complain.” —JON MARCUS

WHEN IT WAS FOUNDED BLUE HEAVEN The St. Regis New more than a century ago by York’s Grand Luxe John Jacob Astor IV, the St. Regis New York Room, which was redesigned in 2006 immediately became a beloved landmark, thanks to its Beaux Arts exterior, elegant public spaces and first-class service. Nothing much has changed, save for some welcome upgrades, including a 2006 interior redesign, led by Sills Huniford, featuring St. Regis hallmarks like silk wall coverings and Waterford crystal chandeliers. With more renovations forthcoming, not to mention the on-site Adour Alain Ducasse still receiving breathless praise (it opened in 2008, eons ago in New York restaurant years), it’s clear that this grande dame hasn’t slowed down a bit. starwoodhotels.com/stregis NEW YORK

Embellish a Parisian getaway with a taste of the haute life Set just off Avenue George V, in the chic center of Paris, and operated by the Four Seasons, the George V is a plush classic so ornate—velvet curtains, crystal candelabra chandeliers, marble tubs the size of Citroëns—that you’ll find yourself feeling très agréable after just a few moments in the very cozy king-size beds. The George V was built in 1928 and housed Gen. Eisenhower during the liberation of Paris. Today, there’s a perfectly appointed spa, and Le Cinq, the restaurant in the lobby, has earned two Michelin stars 12 years running.

A luxury resort in Tennessee puts back-to-the-land foodies at the center of the action BY KIRSTEN MATTHEW
DRIVE 45 MINUTES SOUTH OF KNOXVILLE SMOKY FLAVORS Sumac-dusted bison on Highway 321 and there, in the foothills with chanterelle of the Great Smoky Mountains, you’ll find mushrooms, beets, a boutique hotel that’s something akin to spinach and hazelnuts a sleepaway camp for foodies. It doesn’t come cheap—one night, including meals, at Blackberry Farm starts at $795 per couple—but almost any culinary yearning can be catered to. There are six acres of vegetable gardens where guests can pick tomatoes and peppers; two awardwinning restaurants with chefs happy to hang with patrons; an on-site forager who will guide visitors toward wild mushrooms; the Larder, where staffers explain how to make jams, jellies and sauces; and cheesemakers, butchers and bakers all primed to share their secrets. As this is a working farm, fall is prime time to get your hands dirty. “In September we’re harvesting everything, and our preservation kitchen is going crazy making jams, jellies and pickles; our sausages are being made,” says Sam Beall, owner of Blackberry Farm. “It’s when we’re at our busiest.” HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM • SEPTEMBER 2011

And chances are good that if you’re eating pork in one of the country’s best restaurants, it came from Allan Benton, of Madisonville, Tenn.

Beall’s parents purchased the 4,200acre property in 1976 and ran a successful hotel there, but when Beall became proprietor in 2001, he’d spent a few years living in California, where he worked at The French Laundry. Naturally, he wanted to ramp up Blackberry’s gourmet offerings. So the 35-year-old father of four increased the kitchen garden from a quarter acre to six and hired a team of gardeners to tend it. He bought chickens and a herd of sheep, which provide milk for the homemade cheese. He lured charcutiers, chocolatiers and preserving specialists. Around 100 employees work to produce the establishment’s edible offerings, including the high-end products—truffled quail eggs, onion jam—that are available at Williams-Sonoma. Up to 90 percent of the produce served in the two restaurants is grown on the farm; this month that means plenty of heirloom tomatoes, eggplant, shiitake mushrooms and black walnuts. Beall has also enticed world-renowned chefs like Alain Ducasse to an 18thcentury Amish barn on the property for three-day cooking demonstrations and feasts for guests. This month, Judy Rodgers, chef and co-owner of San Francisco’s famed Zuni Café, will be visiting. Lazy gourmands can forgo the classes and outings and just eat. And this being a luxury resort, the pool and spa are popular hangouts. But most guests don’t sit still for long, Beall says. “They no longer want to sit in a rocking chair—they want to be challenged and inspired,” he says. “These days, cheesemaking is as popular as the spa.” SEPTEMBER 2011 • HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM

start, word spread about the taste of Benton’s hogs, and chefs from all over the country came calling. These days his protein graces plates at 80 restaurants in Manha an (including Tom Colicchio’s Craft and David Chang’s Momofuku eateries), Absinthe in San Francisco, Chicago’s Table Fifty-Two and John Besh’s New Orleans spots. Benton produces 14,000 hams and 35,000 bacon bu s each year, all from Berkshire pigs mixed with heritage breeds like Tamworth and Red Wa le, which have more fat and marble. He sells his product online, too, so keen home cooks can get ahold of it wherever they are in the country. With a staff of 10, Benton’s is a streamlined operation. “We’re embarrassingly small,” says Benton. “We’re a hole-in-thewall business. It’s never been my goal to make a lot of ham or bacon; it’s to make exquisite ones.”

California Dreaming The new Ferrari California, an exquisite V-8 convertible, conquers the traffic of São Paulo BY MIKE GUY
AS FAR AS MEGACITIES go, São Paulo is arguably the least driveable. There are 20 million residents and well over 5 million vehicles. But on a Sunday, at the end of a long holiday weekend, the traffic is only slightly clogged along the Avenida Vinte e Três de Maio, the main artery out of the city. The concierge at the Hotel Unique (a hotel that lives up to its name; it is dark and stylish inside, with a cavernous lobby and popular roof deck, and it looks from the outside like a stone lemon wedge balancing on its rind) says that this is the quietest he’s ever seen São Paulo. “Listen,” he says, dramatically looking around the entrance as though we’re being watched. “You don’t even hear any helicopters.” Just then I hear the rumble of my ride, and the valet arrives with my stunning 2012 Ferrari California. Amid the high stone walls of the hotel and the gravel driveway, the cherry-red GT is a burst of sexy color. Based on the 250 Ferrari California (you’ll remember it as the car HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM • SEPTEMBER 2011

that flew out the window in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off), the California is a hardtop convertible with a 4.3-liter V-8—the smallest Ferrari on the road. It is low-slung, with a grille just above the ground, a satisfyingly macho stance, and two round LED taillights that are reassuringly classic Ferrari. However, rolling out into the light São Paulo traffic, it doesn’t feel diminished in the least. Unlike most Ferraris, whose engines are mounted just behind the seats, the California (back seats come optional) has its V-8 under the hood.
Leaning back in the plush leather, I grab the wheel, which has ride selector switches meant to echo the Ferrari Formula 1 car, and blast into the traffic. By the time I reach the city limits on the highway, I’ve collected a conga line of sports cars jockeying to get a good look. There are just four Ferrari dealerships on the entire continent of South America, so even though there’s a broad swath of wealthy residents in the city (hence the abundance of helicopters hopping over the snarled traffic), a Ferrari sighting is about as

common as a cowboy hat. The road twists out toward the coast, through lush jungles that cleverly conceal the state’s industrial belt. Eventually, we reach the coastal town of Bertioga, where I pull up to a ferry terminal. “That’s a Ferrari?” asks the first mate, as the barge ties up and townspeople stream on. Yes it is. “Then you pay twice,” he says. Why? “It’s a superstition.” I comply. It’s only $1, which is a bargain compared with the price tag on the car itself (a handsome $192,000). On the resort island of Guarujá, the tarmac winds through pine forests until we hit the beaches and the old colonial Casa Grande hotel on Avenida Miguel Stéfano. The valet happily takes the keys to the California, and as I sit down to a dinner of chilled crab legs caught just an hour earlier, I can hear the engine rev from down the street. Ferris Bueller, indeed. MIKE GUY’s first ride in a Ferrari (an F355
Spider in 1997) ended with a stern talking-to from the local authorities.

HOW IT’S DONE
OLMSTED, ILL.
Changing the Locks Though modern Americans mostly think of shipping in terms of Ice Road Truckers and FedEx freight terminals, billions of dollars in goods still travel by river every year. There’s just one problem: The infrastructure is nearly as old as the country itself. In fact, the Olmsted Locks and Dam, near the confluence of the Ohio, Mississippi, Tennessee and Cumberland rivers, still has its original wooden locks. A planned overhaul will update Olmsted, shaving five hours off a ship’s journey and reducing the price of goods that make the trip by up to $700 million. To pull it off, engineers will build parts of the dam on land, hoist them onto a barge with an enormous rectangular crane, float them out to the middle of the river and then sink them into position. As it turns out, that’s a li le harder than it sounds. BY JACQUELINE DETWILER

BARGE RIGHT IN: In an early phase of the project, 3,500-ton concrete shells are lifted on land by the Super Gantry crane (1) and loaded onto a barge, which floats on the river and has two sets of winches (2). The barge is then moved into position and the shells are lowered using a GPS system (3).
1 When making a lock or dam, engineers usually construct a temporary box around the area where they want to work, then pump the water out and build the dam on dry ground. This time, the US Army Corps of Engineers is using a new, more efficient method: assembling the dam on the riverbank and later sinking it. To lift the enormous dam pieces once they’re built, workers will use one of the biggest cranes on earth, the 5,304-ton capacity, rectangular Super Gantry (pictured).

p035_HEM0911_HowItsDone.indd 35
2 According to project manager Larry Bibelhauser, the most complicated part of sinking the dam is the river itself. Once a piece is on the barge, rising water levels, changing speed and even wake from passing boats can knock it out of position before it can be lowered. To compensate, the captains carefully balance two sets of winches: Mooring winches anchor the barge to the riverbed, and snubbing winches (pictured) adjust the position of the dam in relation to the barge—just in case.
3 The dam shell has to be set perfectly on the river bottom—to within a single inch of the right spot on the blueprints. To pull this off in the shifting, muddy waters of the Ohio, engineers use specialized, hyperaccurate GPS to locate all four of the section’s corners underwater. Then technicians at the base spend eight hours maneuvering each corner into a bull’s eye on a computer system that functions much like a video game. Once the corners make it into the bull’s eyes, the piece is lowered.

THE HEMI Q&A: Donna Karan
48
IT’S FRIDAY, and Donna Karan’s staff is trying to find a moment for me to talk to her. “She will be free in 10 minutes,” they say every 10 minutes for two hours. But then, the designer has always had a lot on her plate. Born Donna Faske in Queens, New York, to parents who worked in the fashion industry, she a ended Parsons School of Design and took a job early on as an associate designer for Anne Klein. Her rise was rapid. In 1974, at the age of 25, literally days after Klein’s death, Karan became the label’s head designer. She had also just given birth to her daughter. In 1984, with her second husband, sculptor Stephan Weiss (her first was Mark Karan), she started her own line, Donna Karan, and sent out the groundbreaking “7 Easy Pieces” that made fashion history, offering women a way to dress as The Boss: in control, businesslike and feminine at the same time. The pair then launched the lifestyle clothing line DKNY in 1989, “the pizza to the collection’s caviar,” which was bought by LVMH in 2001 and has since branched out into furniture, candles and even phone apps. These days Karan devotes much of her time to her Urban Zen Foundation, a humanitarian organization (complete with an earthy clothing line) that collaborates with medical professionals to incorporate alternative medicines into their care regimens. The foundation came about a er Karan lost Weiss to lung cancer in 2001. Seeing how aromatherapy and yoga helped him while he ba led the disease, she became focused on patient care, approaching it with the same intensity that marked her abrupt ascent at Anne Klein. When Karan finally called, she apologized for all the rescheduling, but she sounded busy and had to make it quick. She wasn’t rude. More like: intense. Like a boss with a lot on her plate.
HEMISPHERES: Your father was a
tailor, your stepfather was in the apparel business, and your mother was a fitting model and saleswoman. It’s like you were totally immersed in your medium from the start. I guess you never thought you would do something else. DONNA KARAN: No, no, no! I wanted to be a singer and a dancer. But I wasn’t good enough for that. Then when I was in high school I did my first fashion show. HEMISPHERES: Oh my—a high
school fashion show? Tell me what it was like. KARAN: It was probably the same clothes I do today. I made all of them myself. A halter top, palazzo pants and prints in African tribal pa erns. HEMISPHERES: Was that when
you realized you had talent? KARAN: Was it an ah-ha moment? No, it wasn’t. It was what I did. But I have had a lot of CONTINUED ON PAGE 126 »

THE CENTER FOR REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
A NON-SURGICAL TECHNIQUE TO FIGHT AGAINST ARTHRITIS AND SPORTS INJURIES
Located at 1001 N.E. 125th Street, Miami, Florida, The Center For Regenerative Medicine includes a team of professionals that are dedicated to improve your quality of life, paving the way to enhance the science of non-surgical orthopedic medicine. World champions, sports legends, professional and amateur athletes, dancers, and people with just plain pain and arthritis go to The Center For Regenerative Medicine for non-surgical orthopedic care. Using the facility to improve their condition, thousands of successful cases have been treated over the past nine years.

The Knee Diaries: SJ is a 60-year-old male with bone on bone osteoarthritis of the left knee. An X-ray showed arthritis of the knee (X-ray on the left). Patient started receiving treatments at The Center For Regenerative Medicine. Today he is feeling better (X-ray on the right). This is how it works: The physician introduces Cell Therapy into damaged, arthritic cells by means of a precise injection. This process is followed by infrared laser as well as several other modalities including Collateral Artery Flow Exercises (C.A.F.E.), in order to accelerate the process. Depending on tissue damage, severity of the condition and the size of the joint that needs to be injected, people usually need a series of 1 to 6 treatments to improve. There is usually no down time, and people can go back to their usual activities or work immediately. The treatments can help most musculoskeletal problems such as low back pain, neck pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, tendinitis, sprain, strains, torn ligaments and cartilage damage.

Taking Notes In just six years, The Echo Nest has indexed 30 million songs and a galaxy of articles, blog posts and sales figures. The end result will revolutionize the way we listen to music. BY ALYSSA GIACOBBE

AS PH.D. STUDENTS at MIT, Tristan Jehan and Brian Whitman were bi er rivals. Between them, they’d spent 15 years trying to teach computers to understand music the way people do, analyzing songs and artists based on qualities like voice, tonality, genre and cultural significance. The ideal program, according to Jehan, could tell you, for example, not just who Justin Bieber sounds like, but what he sounds like, in terms of qualities like tone and tempo. Whitman thought it would be more important to look at the Bieb’s cultural impact at any given time, not through how he sounds but through what the music community is saying about him. Eventually, the two realized that their goals were essentially the same and they joined forces. Six years later, their company has one clear, if lo y, purpose: to aggregate, index, interpret and share every last note—and every last word wri en about every last note—within the vast world of music. Building on technology Jehan and Whitman created at school, the company develops engines based on a number of variables: artists and songs, listeners’ habits, what people are blogging about, buying or sharing with their friends and so on. These engines power music recommendations and intelligent apps like Pocket Hipster, mainly, but they also provide valuable market information to record labels, subscription music services and radio stations—“collaborative filtering,” as the company likes to call it. “Music is this universal language, but there are literally millions of dialects around the world, and they’re changing every day,” says Jim Lucchese, a former Manha an music lawyer who was brought on as CEO in ILLUSTRATION BY ALEX NABAUM

2007. “It’s an enormous data problem to understand that activity.” At The Echo Nest’s Somerville, Mass., offices, a couple dozen employees, most of them so ware engineers, man computers that acquire and synthesize data, monitor Echo Nest–powered servers and argue over what’s playing on the office sound system, which, in the span of an hour, includes Pink Floyd, Willie Nelson, Deadmau5 and some bootleg reggae. “On any given day it’s somewhere between democracy and anarchy,” says Lucchese, noting that these are people who take their music very seriously. At least 60 percent of the staff, including both founders and Lucchese himself, are in local bands. Every day, The Echo Nest’s large-scale web crawlers retrieve and file more than 350 new song releases, countless record sales figures and tens of thousands of blog posts and tweets in real time. It’s an overwhelming amount of data. In six years, they have catalogued more than 30 million songs. In comparison, Pandora, which uses real musicians to log song titles and descriptions, has spent a decade indexing about 800,000. If you’re wondering why this is the first you’re hearing of The Echo Nest, it’s because the company works largely behind the scenes, providing its database to a network of more than 7,000 independent developers. Access to the database is free for non-commercial use; if a developer later charges for his or her app, which most do, The Echo Nest earns a licensing cut that varies from client to client. (The company declined to release revenue figures.) The Echo Nest has powered more than 150 music applications; some of them, like BiPolar Radio, which uses key, rhythm and timbre to create mood-based playlists (workout

playlist, dinner party playlist), are among the most successful of the genre. More interactive music apps have included gigZme, which scans your music library to recommend upcoming concerts near you. Clients range from major corporations with in-house development teams—like MTV, the BBC and Island Def Jam Records—to Dave McKinney, an Australian who created the Discovr music recommendation app, a bestseller in more than 40 countries. “Before, you could create a MySpace page and be one of 5 million needles in a very big haystack,” says Lucchese. “But using our understanding of the entire music universe, it’s become much easier for newer bands to reach the people most into what they’re doing.” Because The Echo Nest digs up content from even the tiniest blog communities, its technology can, say, help pair Beatles fans with similar-sounding—if obscure—Brooklynbased singer-songwriters making music in their bedrooms. In addition to analytics, there are also predictive applications, like providing data that can help record labels figure out which blogs most influence sales, which editors might be
inclined to favor a particular artist, or how well a hip-hop upstart might sell in Cleveland before he’s even signed. Of course, part of the thrill of music lies in the search and discovery, not to mention the bragging rights of being able to introduce your friends to the next Arcade Fire. Lucchese insists that Echo Nest technology won’t be robbing anyone of organic experiences like stumbling down 6th Street in Austin or discovering new music through your favorite underground blogger. Rather, the technology represents the perfect union of man and machine. “People are a critical part of what we do,” says Lucchese. “We’re just a window into the conversation. We’re giving you the ability to say, ‘I’m kind of done with Led Zeppelin. But I’d like to know what bands that sound like Led Zeppelin are going to play in Boston soon. And what people are saying about them, and who on Facebook might want to come with me to the show.’ To be able to answer those questions—that’s just awesome.” Hemispheres contributor ALYSSA GIACOBBE is kind of done with Justin Bieber.
Island Def Jam The first direct partnership between a major label and the app-dev community, orchestrated by The Echo Nest, gives developers access to IDJ’s catalog at no initial cost, in exchange for a cut of future profits.

Hands Up Like to take your gaming on the road? The choices for portable play have never been this good. BY TOM SAMILJAN WAY BACK IN 1977, a handheld device about the size of a vintage calculator hit the market. Powered by a 9-volt ba ery and distinguished by tiny red lights blinking across a tiny plastic screen, Ma el Football was one of the first shots in the handheld gaming revolution. Today, the exponential growth of mobile phone games—by far the most popular downloads at both the Android and iPhone stores—has taken the genre well beyond the mainstream and deep into the pop psyche. Meanwhile, Nintendo is adding extra dimensions to its biggest flagship titles for the 3DS, the Japanese gaming company’s 3-D handheld, and Sony, in an effort to stay in the game, just released the PlayStation-certified Xperia Play, complete with a slide-out gamingcontrols tray. This winter, Sony will launch the successor to its PlayStation Portable, an HD, Wi-Fi-connected dynamo called the PSVita. What all this adds up to is the biggest console ba le in gaming history, thanks to wireless interconnectivity and the scope of today’s handheld market. Here’s a—ahem—handy analysis of the gear coming out now. Game on.

For Meredith, one practice proved worth traveling to … Arizona Breast Cancer Specialists. When Meredith’s biopsy confirmed breast cancer, the shock was indescribable. The visit to the cancer specialist was dream-like, but three of the doctor’s words stuck with her: “This is curable.” Meredith led the charge against her cancer as she led her small successful advertising firm in Chicago: from head on. Despite her research, she was told breast radiation therapy after chemotherapy would take over six weeks. “I was looking at five months for surgery and chemotherapy, ready to do whatever was needed to be cured. But, I wasn’t satisfied with one option. My life was calling, asking when I’d be back!” said Meredith. Online, she found Arizona Breast Cancer Specialists in Scottsdale, Arizona. Together, Drs. Robert Kuske and Coral Quiet, both nationally recognized Radiation Oncologists specializing in breast cancer, founded Arizona Breast Cancer Specialists in 2009. “We have combined the finest physicians, state-of-theart technology, and the full range of radiation therapy treatment options for women with all types and stages of breast cancer,” explained Dr. Kuske. “Treating breast
cancer is all we do.” Meredith traveled to Arizona Breast Cancer Specialists and was successfully treated with a one-week radiation therapy technique, invented by Dr. Kuske. Within 15 days after first exploring her options online, Meredith had completed radiation therapy, returned home and was back to work. Arizona Breast Cancer Specialists, international experts and pioneers in the advancement of breast conservation therapy, is the first and only radiation oncology practice in the world exclusively devoted to women fighting breast cancer.

This building, home to some of the world’s leading dancers, singers and directors, is the gem of all Russian performance spaces. It opened in Moscow in 1825 for the Bolshoi Ballet, a company founded in 1776 by Catherine the Great, and saw the premieres of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake and Rachmaninoff ’s opera Aleko. It’s home to the biggest opera in Russia and the largest ballet company in the world (its name in Russian means “big”). But when inspectors discovered cracks in the structure in 2005, the theater shut down. It was literally falling apart. Originally set to reopen in 2008, the Bolshoi has undergone a renovation that was mired in scandal and embezzlement. The records of one firm working on the project, ZAO Kurortproekt, showed it was paid three times for the same work at a time when the Kremlin was trying to crack down on corruption. The cost ballooned to $800 million and the opening was delayed three years. Now, if all goes according to plan, on October 28, 2011, the footlights at the Bolshoi will shine anew. “Pray God doesn’t make you live in a time of change,” says Anatoly Iksanov, general director of the Bolshoi Theatre, a ribbon of cigare e smoke filtering through the bristles of his white mustache. Iksanov is in charge of two and a half orchestras, 220 dancers, 110 opera singers and thousands more stagehands, costume designers and conductors. Yet he still manages to sleep through the night. Which, he points out wearily, is the only time delegations of artists aren’t knocking down his door. “Artists must be given a lot of work,” he says, lowering his gaze. “When they’re busy on tour or creating new shows, they quit blaming managers and creating crazy scandals.”

THE BOLSHOI THEATRE WAS BURNED IN 1853 AND BOMBED IN 1941. LENIN TRIED TO HAVE THE BUILDING, WITH ITS NEOCLASSICAL CORINTHIAN COLUMNS AND ARISTOCRATIC AIR, KNOCKED TO THE GROUND IN A GESTURE OF PROLETARIAN WRATH. AND A STREAM FLOWING UNDER THE BUILDING DID EVERYTHING IN ITS POWER TO WEAKEN THE STONE FOUNDATION. DESPITE THIS CEASELESS ASSAULT, THE BOLSHOI REMAINS STANDING.

Indeed, scandals are frequent occurrences. Take one from last winter, when several dozen very racy pictures of Gennadi Yanin, the ballet’s manager, were emailed to hundreds of people and posted online in what some speculate was a smear campaign against a potential acting chief. And that’s in addition to the continuing public barbs and criticisms from disgruntled former and present dancers. To all of this, Iksanov shrugs. The scandals, he says, are for public consumption and the journalists who love them. While he wants to protect the Bolshoi name, his concern isn’t the pe y back and forth of dancers. His charge is to promote the Bolshoi name from “one of the best” to “the best.” That means drawing new audiences to the old art. Last spring, the Bolshoi teamed up with Bel Air Media and Pathé to broadcast its ballets in movie theaters around the world—Europe, the U.S., Japan and Brazil—even screening ballets to gauge audience interest. A test screening of the ballet Flames of Paris in Paris created

such a stir that by the time the Bolshoi booked the tour and the dancers arrived in the city, everyone knew about the show and almost the entire government came to the premiere. Iksanov is also in Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s Ministry of Culture, which is working to solve labor law issues that are stagnating the talent at the Bolshoi. The Bolshoi gives lifelong contracts to its members. “We’re not allowed to fire those who have not retired, and we can’t bring in someone new. It’s a big problem,” says Iksanov. “Without new artists, new blood, we can’t grow the way we need to.” But Russians can be reluctant about change, even though (or perhaps because) they’ve had their fair share of it. In 2000, Iksanov was appointed to oversee the company’s transition from the damaged historical stage in the Bolshoi Theatre to the New Stage, a brand new, smaller house next door, during renovations. His challenge was to keep the company intact and make sure it continued performing. Bigger productions found a temporary performance spot at the Kremlin Palace, and others toured Europe and beyond. Iksanov had his work cut out for him—the smaller space wore down the performers, particularly because the job went three years over schedule. Artists are already a finicky bunch. But then so are conservationists. Russians with a white-knuckle grip on tradition wanted the decaying theater untouched and le as a museum. Iksanov recognized the importance of retaining the interiors, but the stage and innerworkings needed an overhaul to support new technology and keep pace with the world’s most renowned institutions. “The Bolshoi Theatre is a living, breathing organism,” says Iksanov, as he stands to leave and meet with the main conductor of the current opera, The Golden Cockerel, opening in two nights. “It needs to advance to survive.” “I CAN TALK ABOUT this for hours,” says Mikhail Sidorov, spokesman for Summa Capital, the CONTINUED ON PAGE 128 » HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM • SEPTEMBER 2011

I MANLEY, A TALL, white-haired rancher, IM lleads a visitor past a homestead cabin alongside meandering Oxbow Lake. Up ahead are the m rremnants of a handmade rail system leading iinto an abandoned silver mine. The mine has ttwo entrances. One has collapsed. A cougar has ttaken up in the other. “I’ve been coming to say hello to the cougar every time I get out here,” h Manley says, inspecting the cave. M You’d expect Manley to be a grizzled Westerner more suited to horse-breaking than high e ssociety, but the reality is a li le more complex. While he is indeed the proprietor of this place, the 6,600acre Ranch at Rock Creek, set outside of Billings, Mont., he’s also a hedge fund manager from Connecticut. “I’d wanted to own a ranch all my life,” Manley says. It took him 20 years to find the one he wanted, and another year to turn it into the luxury lodge and impeccable cowboy fantasia that it is today. But then such is the draw of Big Sky Country. Bordered by Yellowstone National Park to the south and Glacier National Park to the northwest, Montana has never been accorded the jet-set cachet of an Aspen or Jackson Hole
(nor, one suspects, would it want it). However, there is a gentle cultural shi afoot, with rustic-luxurious ranches like Manley’s becoming popular weekend destinations that combine high-end amenities with the breathtaking landscape that has long drawn hikers, skiers and trout fisherman here to the land of silver and gold. It’s that same blend of ruggedness and effortless style that drew us here for Hemispheres’ fall fashion spread. We spent three days at the working ranch soaking in the Montana air, tooling around on muddy roads with the ranch hands and shooting the latest Western-inflected styles from big and small designers alike, accompanied by the odd pair of gloves or chaps on loan from the resident cowboys. At dusk one day, a er we had wrapped the shoot, Kerry, the ranch manager, brought us out into the field where the horses roam at night. He stepped out of the Jeep and whistled. The horses all perked up and wandered over to greet us, sniffing and gently brushing their heads against us like so many friendly dogs. It called to mind something Manley had said earlier, when he told us he hoped to retire here some day. “It’s like paradise on horseback,” he said. theranchatrockcreek.com

THREE PERFECT DAYS BARCELONA
BARCELONA IS NOT a place given to posturing. This former Roman outpost, now the capital of the northeastern Spanish province of Catalonia, isn’t as self-consciously pre y as Paris, as studiedly vibrant as London or as achingly stylish as Milan. It’s secure enough to refrain from draping banners from lampposts advertising its status as “Europe’s City of Culture.” Most important, its leaders seem to understand the principle of benign neglect. There’s li le in the way of the compulsive scrubbing and sandblasting you encounter in other historical cities. This has a couple of benefits. First, you see buildings rather than scaffolding. Second, many of these buildings look and feel like they’re supposed to: old. The overwhelming sense is that this is a city comfortable in its own skin. Barcelonans are fiercely protective of their Catalan heritage, they simmer with emotional heat (fender benders can be theatrical affairs) and they are inordinately friendly. This is a town where you can walk into a shop, wildly mispronounce the name of the place you’re looking for and then wait while the shopkeeper consults Google Maps. This is good not only for your faith in human nature, but for your feet. A lot of what Barcelona has to offer is unheralded, even hidden, and this WANT MORE? allows for wonderful moments of discovery. Of course, it also means you’re going Download our iPad app. to need some help from the locals to find this stuff. Luckily, you’re in good hands. HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM • SEPTEMBER 2011

DAY ONE | By Barcelona standards, the interior of the exceptional Hotel Arts is fairly muted—there’s none of the over-the-top design so o en favored in this city. What this 44-story, oceanfront Ritz-Carlton does have is a view: a layer cake of sand, sea and sky on one side; the red-brown shambles of Barcelona on the other. You grab your camera and head out for a closer look, pausing only to contemplate the nearby Frank Gehry sculpture, a big, bronze-mesh fish tilting longingly toward the waters of the Mediterranean. But you’re in Barcelona, and when it comes to architecture, the star of the show is Antoni Gaudí. His maniacal confections dot the city, and the most eye-popping of the lot is Casa Batlló, an apartment block he renovated in the early 1900s. Batlló is located on the bustling Passeig de Gràcia, and there’s a crowd gathered, staring up at it. You join them, transfixed by the orgy of detail: sca ershot mosaics and wobbly window frames and skull-like balconies. Inside it’s even weirder, a swirl of blue-tiled passages and undulating antechambers that leave you feeling woozy. Shake it off and head up about four blocks to Hotel Omm, where you’ve booked a lunch at Moo. The Michelin-starred restaurant’s chef, Felip Llufriu, specializes in nuevo twists on traditional Catalan fare, such as pigeon carpaccio served with ice cream and prawns with shaved pig tro ers (trust your waiter, the dishes taste much be er than they sound). Each of the six courses is paired with wine, and the presentation is so theatrical—poof! a cloud of smoke appears as the cover is li ed off the pigeon plate—that you have to resist the urge to applaud. To er out of the restaurant and head back down Passeig de Gràcia for a dozen blocks or so, until you find the Gothic Quarter. Finding your way in is easy; finding your way out is another ma er. A knot of quirky cafés, oddball museums, medieval courtyards, Renaissance palaces and Roman ruins, the Gothic Quarter does not lend itself to a tight schedule. A foot-stomping Catalan folk trio, the musty shelves of a magic supply store, the Spanish Civil War–era bullet holes pocking Plaça Sant Felip Neri—all of these things demand your a ention. When you do emerge, a hundred doglegs later, you fight the urge to turn around and start again. Dinner promises to be more orderly. You’ve opted for the Hotel Arts’ Arola, another Michelin-starred restaurant that

toys with the Catalan tradition. Only here there’s a twist: a six-course “Gastro-Sostenible” menu that you cannot resist trying. The succulent Rubio Fish Roasted with Morels and Potatoes, and the Ecological Goats Cheese Cream both transcend the menu’s green premise. Following a brief but emotionally fraught stint at the nearby Casino Barcelona, you return to your room and gaze for a while at the stubble of lights below, and then over at the oblivion of the sea. Oblivion sounds pre y good right now, so you head off to bed.
CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE In a town full of tours, World RT, run by Robert Thai (left), offers something different: bespoke. Just tell him your tastes and how long you’ll be in town, and he’ll map out your trip. If you want, he will even come with you. So how good is he? Asked to devise a quirky and surprising 10-minute tour of the Gothic District, he doesn’t skip a beat. “Look,” he says, pointing to a small carved skull overhead. You look at it. “They say if you stare into its face, you’ll get one year of bad luck.” You thank him for that. Next it’s off to a dingy, nondescript courtyard. Here, standing alone in the half-light, is a cluster of Roman columns. It might just be the most beautiful sight in all of Barcelona. The last stop is a little stone turtle jutting from a wall. “Rub that,” Thai says, helpfully, “and you break the curse of the skull.”

You have a Mexican omelet, with spicy chorizo sausage and crème fraîche, which makes you wonder how the people around you manage to stay so thin. Burn off a few calories strolling between the extravagantly ornate lampposts of Passeig de Lluís Companys, at the end of which looms the Arco de Triunfo. If you want to get a sense of how neatly the Islamic and Christian traditions have dovetailed here, look at the angels and Moorish domes adorning this redbrick structure. Interested in exploring another dovetail—the one between genius and lunacy—you head northwest on Passeig de Sant Joan and take Carrer de Mallorca to Gaudí’s most famous creation: the Basílica de la Sagrada Família. Gaudí started work on this skyline-hogging cathedral in 1883 and never lived to see its completion. It is, in fact, still being built today. Like Casa Batlló, Sagrada has a surreal, almost sinister feel about it.

Until recently, vermouth was something your yaya drank after church, a libation to be sipped while discussing the price of sardines. The drink, which is basically inferior wine that has been fortified and flavored to make it palatable, has never been thought of as fashionable. Until now: Barcelona, it seems, is in the midst of a vermouth revival. Old, family-run bars like Cala del Vermut (shown) are seeing an influx of young people. And there are relatively new vermouth joints cropping up, such as Bar Calders, that are among the trendiest in town. During the so-called hora del vermut—the hour leading up to lunch— the terrace at Bar Calders is overflowing with enthusiasts, without a pair of false teeth in sight. and supplicants ooze from its reliefs, and clumps of ceramic fruit teeter on its peaks. Inside, the conventions of Gothic architecture have been tortured without mercy. As you leave, you sense that you will never see anything quite like it again. A er an hour spent nose-to-canvas at the Picasso Museum, you wend your way through the Gothic Quarter to the 4 Gats bistro, where Picasso used to hang out a hundred years or so ago. The place, the manager tells you, has hardly had a lick of paint since, and you believe him—from the Art Nouveau stenciling to the bow-tied waiters, 4 Gats has a film-set precision to it. Opt for vichyssoise with shaved leeks, sausages with white beans and a strawberry mousse—delicioso. From here, take the Metro to the city’s most fervently a ended place of worship: Camp Nou, home of Barca, the greatest soccer team in the world and a source of heaving pride for locals. On non–game days, they offer tours of the stadium, so you join a mass of scarf-draped devotees traipsing through the looming stands, the bristling trophy room and, oddly, the official team bathroom. Dinner tonight hauls you once more into the Gothic Quarter, the venue for Barcelona Taste—a three-hour, four-eatery tour that is fun, informative and filling. Highlights include a local sheep cheese, a pungent blood pudding and a Basque tapas bar whose signature drink is red wine mixed irreligiously with Coke. You end the night at Bel-Luna, a gloomy, tunnel-shaped jazz club. The pianist is old school, looking back over his shoulder while he jams. Your appreciation causes you to slop your cocktail a bit. Looking to remedy the problem, you call for another and se le in. DAY THREE | The Mandarin Oriental, the second hotel of your stay, also opts for elegance over exuberance. The color scheme comprises several dozen shades of brown, and the hotel’s corridors are infused with a subtle floral aroma.

There’s a little park I like to go to in Ciutat Vella. People go there to sit on the grass and play music—I play guitar. It’s an artist’s park, a place for young people, people who live here. I could walk there right now and find some friends.
What I enjoy most about Barcelona is the incredibly wellpreserved Modernist buildings. I love their stained glass windows, which are like kaleidoscopes. Sometimes I dream about Casa Batlló coming to life as a dragon.
CHIEF METEOROLOGIST, TELEVISIÓ DE CATALUNYA
People forget we have musicals here, like Broadway. My favorite place is Teatre Musical, which used to be a sports pavilion. It is huge, so it puts on big productions. The last one I saw was Mamma Mia! I liked it very much.

potato, a side of chistorra sausage—you take to the Metro once more for the final Gaudí extravaganza of your stay: Güell Park, which manages to take the weirdness up another notch. Güell isn’t so much a park as a mad fairy tale, a squiggle of pathways, grottos and toadstool-roofed pavilions, most of which is sheathed in riotous ceramic mosaics— heightening the sense that the place isn’t quite real. At the heart of it all is a large plaza packed with vendors, musicians and out-of-towners. Güell sits atop a punishing hill—but the view of the city alone is worth the pain. For lunch, head to La Rambla, the busy avenue that is home to La Boqueria, a produce market that makes the Rio Carnival look dull. As you enter, you dodge an onrushing pedestrian and run face-first into a bushel of peppers, nearly careen into a hanging ham and only narrowly avoid a nearby nuthill. Aromas hang in the air: a spicy, citrusy, cheesy funk, and above it all the insistent tang of fish. For serious shopping, cut back to Passeig de Gràcia, which offers everything from Bulgari to Zara. Things get more interesting in Gràcia, the kind of district where you’ll find a funky gi shop abu ing a store that sells beans by the scoop. You pick up a novelty T-shirt, pass a few coins to a man playing “Strangers in the Night” on a trumpet, and head to the hotel to prepare yourself for a more formal musical performance. Classical concerts aren’t the only reason to visit Palau de la Música Catalana. Its designer, Lluís Domènech i Montaner, subjected every square inch to some sort of flourish: heroic statuary, wreaths and roses, explosively pa erned stained glass. Seated in the hall, violins washing over you, your eyes fli ing over the faces popping from the burnt-orange backdrop, you feel dreamy and pleasantly detached. And then you fall asleep. Roused by the bravos, you head outside and catch a cab to the El Raval district for a late supper at Betty Ford’s, one of Barcelona’s ho est eateries and, you’ve been told, the repository of the best burgers in town. The Texas Burger is very good: thick and juicy, slopping with BBQ sauce. The lighting is low. The crowd is cha y. Yet your bed beckons. Back at the hotel, you step out onto the balcony of your room and watch the street below. A few taxis glide by. Young couples walk arm in arm. One woman is saying something to her lover in Spanish, almost singing the words. She seems happy to be here—with this person, in this place. CHRIS WRIGHT lives on Spain’s Costa Blanca. His friends are getting
tired of hearing how great Barcelona is.

he business world is a fast-moving place, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting faster every day. Between global economic shifts and rapid technological change, what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to think of as work has changed inalterably over the last decade. To keep up, todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top professionals have to be smart, adaptive and eager to do whatever it takes to stay in front of all this change. And as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all tell you: if you want to get ahead and stay ahead, you have to keep learning long after you frame your bachelor degree. Statistics show that adult learners constitute an ever-growing percentage of enrolled students in the U.S. While in 1970, just 28 percent of college students were 25 years old and over; by 1998 that
Executive Education Advertorials.indd 91
number had jumped to 41 percent. Recent studies have put that number at nearly 50 percent today. Clearly, no ma er what ďŹ eld youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;technology, ďŹ nance, sales, anythingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you have to be prepared to turn when your industry turns. So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve compiled the following information to help apprise you of your educational options. The pages that follow will provide you with a roadmap to future career advancement, whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a degree program or a specialized professional development course. While the world may be ge ing smaller, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still an inďŹ nitely fascinating place to explore. International study can serve as a great point of entry into vibrant cultures and growing economies, giving learners a grasp of a foreign language, or simply
a be er understanding of the global economy. At the same time, studying stateside will allow you to enrich their base of knowledge without disrupting your day-today work schedules. Both options are invaluable, whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re personally looking to enroll in school, or run a business weighing options for employee development. Either way, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason to wait to take this important step. The benefits of a lifelong education are incalculable, both for the individuals and for the companies that employ them. As the working world becomes smaller and competition fiercer, the upside to continued education will grow exponentially. We urge everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;regardless of occupationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to take a look. It could be the most important decision youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever make.

SOMETHING BORROWED [T] 2 hrs. 10 min.
1 hr. 52 min.
“A fun, welcome return to form for a series that proves there are still some exciting escapades of Jack Sparrow yet to be told.”—Gazette
“Although it deals with serious love vs. friendship issues, Kate Hudson’s performance is over-the-top funny.”—ReelViews
When Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with a woman from his past, he’s not sure if it’s love or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. She forces Jack aboard the Queen Anne’s Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard, and he finds himself on an unexpected adventure. FEATURING Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Geoffrey Rush DIRECTED BY Rob Marshall
Rachel is a talented attorney at a top New York law firm, a generous and loyal friend and, unhappily, still single (as her engaged best friend Darcy is constantly reminding her). But after one drink too many at her 30th birthday party, Rachel unexpectedly ends up in bed with the guy she’s had a crush on since law school, who just happens to be Darcy’s fiancé. FEATURING Kate Hudson, Ginnifer Goodwin, John Krasinski DIRECTED BY Luke Greenfield
KUNG FU PANDA 2 [T]
MIDNIGHT IN PARIS [T] 1 hr. 31 min.
1 hr. 40 min.
“The film’s visuals are thrilling, beguiling, vivid: the greens of a glade or a terraced hillside; the molten reds of Shen’s smelting works or yellow-orange arcs of fireworks.”—Denver Post
“There is breezy comedy to be made of a YouTube–age writer meeting the icons of a bygone era, but Allen goes deeper, expanding on his time-travel device to make unexpected and unexpectedly generous observations.”—Philadelphia Inquirer
Po is now living his dream as The Dragon Warrior, protecting the Valley of Peace alongside his friends and fellow kung fu masters. But Po’s awesome new life is threatened by the emergence of a formidable villain who plans to use a secret, unstoppable weapon to conquer China and destroy kung fu. VOICES BY Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Gary Oldman DIRECTED BY Jennifer Yuh
An American couple, engaged to be married, visits Paris with the bride-to-be’s parents. The man’s great love for the city leads him off alone, where he has experiences that change his life forever, and the couple is forced to confront the notion that a life different from their own would be better. FEATURING Owen Wilson, Marion Cotillard, Rachel McAdams DIRECTED BY Woody Allen

THE BIG BANG THEORY [T]
The team, on the trail of bandits who are planning a robbery during the Honolulu triathlon, is forced to turn to Danno’s ex-wife for help.
A mix-up at Jack’s wedding leaves him actually married to Liz, and budget cuts at TGS force Jenna and Danny to share a dressing room.

THE SIMPSONS [T]
Adam and Jamie investigate the best way to lose a tail. James Bond’s “Q” might have perfected spy car weaponry, but the concept is almost as old as the movies themselves, and the guys start off by testing three of the all-time classics: tacks, smoke and oil.
While running from a drug deal gone bad, Mike Ross, a brilliant college dropout, slips into a job interview with one of New York City’s best legal closers. Tired of cookie-cutter law school grads, the closer takes a gamble by hiring Mike on the spot.
Homer, Marge, Maggie, Lisa and Bart stage a parody of the Up Series of British documentaries. In this version, a filmmaker follows Homer and his friends from grade school into their 40s.

Please read both sides of the declaration and place your signature at the bottom of the form. Expedited Passport Control and Customs Clearance in the U.S.—Global Entry™ U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) offers the Global Entry™ program in order to expedite the processing of pre-approved, low-risk international travelers entering the U.S. Upon returning from international travel, Global Entry™-enrolled travelers may bypass the regular passport control line and proceed to the Global Entry™ kiosk. Global Entry™ program participants scan their machine-readable passport, U.S. permanent resident card or U.S. visa on the kiosk, place their fingertips on the scanner for fingerprint verification and make a customs declaration. The kiosk issues the traveler a transaction receipt and directs the traveler to baggage claim and exit. The following travelers are eligible for enrollment in Global Entry™: • Citizens and Residents of the U.S. • Citizens of Mexico who hold a U.S. visa • Citizens of the Netherlands who are enrolled in Privium • NEXUS members • SENTRI members Application for enrollment in the Global Entry™ program is available at the Global On-Line Enrollment System (GOES): https://goes-app.cbp.dhs.gov/. It costs only US$100 which covers enrollment in the program for a five-year period. The government will review the applicant’s information while a background investigation is conducted. Applicants undergo an interview with CBP officers at an Enrollment Center in the U.S. before final approval is granted. Global Entry™ is available in the following cities: Atlanta (ATL), Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD-O’Hare), Dallas (DFW), Detroit (DTW), Ft. Lauderdale (FLL), Honolulu (HNL), Houston (IAH-Intercontinental), Las Vegas (LAS), Los Angeles (LAX), Miami (MIA), New York (JFK), Newark (EWR-Liberty), Orlando (MCO-International and SFB-Sanford), Ottawa (YOW), Philadelphia (PHL), Seattle (SEA), San Francisco (SFO), San Juan (SJU), Washington, DC (IAD-Dulles) and Vancouver (YVR).

TRAVEL ASSISTANCE FOR DELAYED OR CANCELED FLIGHTS At United Airlines, our priority is safety and keeping an on-time schedule. On occasion, canceling or delaying a flight is the only option to assure we maintain the highest safety standards. Flight canceled? We automatically confirm you on the next United flight with available seats. EasyCheck-in® units located in the concourse will assist you with information and a boarding pass—it will also help you standby for an earlier United flight if one is scheduled. If you want to travel standby and aren’t boarded, we will transfer your name to the next United flight to your destination until you are onboard. What about my bag? Baggage is boarded on the next flight if space is available. This means your bags may arrive before you. United will secure the bag until you claim it. See a baggage claim representative. What if I have to stay overnight? If a flight is canceled to address a mechanical issue or another similar reason within our control, we will
STAYING FIT:
provide you with a hotel and meal voucher. For uncontrollable events— such as weather—we may be able to help you locate a local hotel at a discounted rate; however United does not cover hotel or meal expenses in this event. If we cannot retrieve your checked bag, overnight kits containing toiletries are available. Please see an agent. What if the reason for my travel no longer exists? If as a result of the delay or cancellation you decide not to travel, call United reservations (1-800-UNITED-1) to get information on your options. Help us help you stay informed. Sign up for EasyUpdate®, our messaging service. If your flight is canceled or delayed, EasyUpdate® will inform you. Enroll at united.com/easyupdate. At home? Go to united.com for information or to check-in and print your boarding pass. Your safety and satisfaction are important. We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

THE HEMI Q&A: Donna Karan » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 48
“My entire life changed, but I had to get the work done and I couldn’t think about anything else. That is about as zen as you can get.”
KARAN: I think love is out there for you. It’s interesting how many millions and millions of people are out there, and how you arrive at that one person. It’s all in the cards, quite honestly. HEMISPHERES: So you believe in a path.
Have you ever felt as if you are off it? ah-ha moments. When my daughter was born and my boss died and I had to come up with an entire line at the same time: That was an ah-ha moment. My entire life changed. It was a thunderstorm. Bigger than life. But I had to get the work done and I couldn’t think about anything else. You are in the moment. That is about as zen as you can get.
HEMISPHERES: Is incorporating Reiki into
HEMISPHERES: When you launched your
the program your way of trying to move people beyond its gooey new-age stigma?
own label in 1984, did you know that you were making something that would be so transformative?
KARAN: That’s exactly right. Right now I’m giving Reiki to someone.
KARAN: It was actually selfish. I wanted to make clothing for myself and my friends. So that’s what I started doing. Then I needed the shoes, I needed the hosiery, so I kept designing. HEMISPHERES: Is the Urban Zen collection
notably different from your other lines? KARAN: The Urban Zen line is for someone who has an ease and confidence in the way she dresses. I start with a bodysuit and leggings and build from there. I believe in clothes that have to go from day into evening. Basically, if you can’t sleep in it and go out in it, I don’t want to know about it. It’s not about a season. It’s not about doing wholesale. It’s about addressing the mind and body and spirit. With Urban Zen, I don’t have to design a collection every four months, like with DKNY and Donna Karan. I only show when I develop something new. And a percentage of the sales goes to the foundation. HEMISPHERES: The Urban Zen Integrative Therapy Program just launched its second year of training. How has the response been?
126
KARAN: It’s kind of mind-boggling. People who never thought it could be possible are reacting positively. The nurses respond to it, the doctors respond to it, as well as patients and their loved ones. Next we are teaching nurses in Ohio.
HEMISPHERES: Right now? Who? Are you trained in Reiki? KARAN: You know, I always had a high level of energy. I guess that’s pre y obvious. I can feel the “white energy” in my fingers. But I started practicing as we were incorporating Reiki into the program. HEMISPHERES: How do you find the time to do all of this and still maintain your labels? You must have an insane schedule. KARAN: I have an extraordinary group of people around me who understand the language of Donna Karan and DKNY. But I try to do yoga every morning. My morning time is very important to me, because once I get out of the house, it’s over. There aren’t enough hours in the day. I’m usually up till two. HEMISPHERES: I wanted to ask you about your late husband, Stephan Weiss. You met him when you were 18, but when you saw him again after your divorce, you essentially realized you were soulmates. Did that make you think that love is a matter of destiny?
KARAN: Every day! There are two sides of me: feeling guilty that I’m not with my daughter and granddaughter enough, and then feeling like I need to constantly call the office. I don’t think that will ever change. But we can’t all be perfect. I heard that the Dalai Lama doesn’t like traveling on planes. See? Even the Dalai Lama has a thing. We all have our things. I am as much urban chaos as I am urban zen. HEMISPHERES: Urban Chaos! Your next line! [Karan chuckles] Overall, you make me feel optimistic about someone using creativity to benefit the world around her. KARAN: We are living in a world of chaos. We have to be responsible. Designing for me was about caring for the person. Then it just expanded to incorporate all of the aspects of a person. Especially if suffering broke into their lives. HEMISPHERES: Is that a worldview you
came around to after the tragedies you suffered in your own life? KARAN: I had no time. My mother died the day of a show. My boss died when a collection was due. My husband passed away near a show. I didn’t have a moment. I think I spread out the mourning every day of my life in my work. But now we are doing the work every day at Urban Zen. And now I have to get off the phone. It’s Friday and everyone is freaking out. It’s called the Friday Freak-Out. Sorry. I go a go. MIKE ALBO, a freelance writer in Brooklyn,
has had Reiki before and kind of loves it.

“THE BOLSHOI THEATRE IS A LIVING, BREATHING ORGANISM,” SAYS ITS GENERAL DIRECTOR, ANATOLY IKSANOV. “IT NEEDS TO ADVANCE TO SURVIVE.” construction company President Medvedev hired in 2009 to oversee the final stages of the renovation. He’s standing below the original stage on one of the four new subterranean levels that doubled the size of the historic theater to 80,000 square meters. This particular level has a chamber orchestra stage out of a futuristic flick. The room looks empty at first, but the floor is segmented like a puzzle. Using a complex hydraulic system, platforms rise up, turning a flat floor into a raised stage with rows of tiered seating for 300, like a pop-up book. The German engineers behind this underground stage gave the same hydraulic advantage to the expanded 135-capacity orchestra pit. As Sidorov points out that there can be no more than a two millimeter gap between each section, he couldn’t be more excited. If you didn’t know better—if it weren’t for his spotless suit and uncalloused hands—you’d think he’d renovated the Bolshoi himself. His twohour tour of the theater includes stories of contacting the great-grandsons of the tradesman who provided the original front hall tile, the hand-looming process that took three years to dissect and then
128
weave the exact fabric from the period of Alexander II, the restoration of acoustics that the Soviet era destroyed. An observation about a replica electric lamp can make Sidorov sigh. It’s a happiness that a ends a job well done and almost finished. His company picked up the project a er the renovation had dragged on for four miserable years. Everything came to a deadlock in 2009—tales of corruption and ineptitude had reached their zenith, and nine general contractors had come and gone. Iksanov appealed to Medvedev, who took on the Bolshoi as a personal project, creating a special group in the Ministry of Culture to oversee it and hiring Summa Capital to take on the final renovations. With the energy and resources behind a Medvedev-backed project, the estimated 2015 finish date suddenly shi ed to 2011. Summa Capital immediately expanded the 24-hour workforce from 400 to 3,600 people. Nineteen hundred of those workers are restorers and cra sman of gypsum, wood, bronze, fabric, handmade stucco, dyestuff and more. Of the 1,900 restorers, 162 are gilders.
THE AUDIENCE HALL of the Bolshoi Theatre has six levels of balconies, each broken up into recessed boxes. Shop lights make each look like a backlit shadow box. On a four-foot scaffolding, a gilder sits on the side of her hip, her knees and feet tucked in at her side. She uses her finger to spread petroleum jelly on the back of her hand. She picks up a fanned brush made of squirrel tail hair and brushes it over the thin layer of petroleum before touching the top of the brush to a thin leaf of gold resting on a suede pillow. When she picks up the gold leaf, it shivers. The tiny, lustrous square is hand-hammered so thin that light shines through it. It is a tenth of the thickness of a spider’s silk. It will cling to every crease of a fingerprint on an oily finger. Rub it between your fingers and it disappears. But place it on molding that has been prepped with clay and egg and a swipe of distilled alcohol like vodka, and the frail leaf bonds to it, creating the illusion of solid gold. “No golden paint will have such a noble effect, such a bright color,” says Vera Babich, a third-generation gilder. “Over time, gold paint darkens and never achieves the same look.” When all is said and done, the audience hall will be adorned with five kilograms of gold. It will cover the ornate doubleheaded eagles of Imperial Russia that replaced communism’s hammer and sickle above the czar’s box, and rim the six balconies that surround the woodpaneled, violin-shaped hall, which is ready to reclaim its top spot in the world of acoustics. Three hundred kilograms of gold surround the two-ton chandelier. Each piece of gold is individually cut, so not a scrap goes to waste. Babich personally trained 60 of the workers, including her two daughters. “From my childhood my father was a gilder and took me to his projects. I didn’t have to study—he taught me to gild and polish on every job.” Not everyone catches on so easily. Sometimes it takes two years just to learn how to prep the molding. Babich didn’t always know she wanted CONTINUED ON PAGE 130 »

to be a gilder. She got a medical degree after college, but even before that, she had another passion. “When I was younger, my parents traveled too much for me to attend classes,” she says. “I love my work and my job, but it was my dream to be a ballerina.” INNATE TALENT POSSESSES the eyes first, a glimmer as a dancer holds a pose: a curved neck, extended chin, the unfurled fingers of a buoyant hand held alo in a quiet dance studio. Then the first strike of a piano key shoots through the body, animating a fierce delicacy of movement. If you’ve never seen a ballet, or ballerina, or a TV broadcast of tiny people leaping around a faraway stage, it doesn’t matter. Talent announces itself as a force, a biological draw and immediate impulse to never, ever take your eyes off of this inhuman being. It shouldn’t be so easy for a novice to tell a principal dancer from her understudy, but it is. Anastasia “Nastia” Meskova is easy to pick out, but then again she isn’t your typical Bolshoi ballerina. “It’s easy to see it in Nastia,” says Ludmila Semenyaka, Mescova’s master teacher and legendary prima ballerina for the Bolshoi. “You come to see a performance, and you can do nothing but watch her. You realize something strange is happening and you can’t explain why.” Nastia is known equally for her fire and beauty. The 25-year-old has danced since she was two. She auditioned for
130
p060-65_131_HEM0911_Bolshoi.indd 130
the Bolshoi Ballet Academy at the age of eight—two years earlier than most—and now works as a soloist for the Bolshoi Ballet. The best part about her solo title, she says, is that it guarantees she and her five-year-old son can finally have an apartment to themselves during the few hours a day she has to enjoy it. On most rehearsal days—10 hours long, minimum—her chestnut hair is swept up into a haphazard bun and she wears the uniform of most Bolshoi dancers: skirt, leotard under a wellworn, draped sweatshirt and the down booties marketed to mountain climbers but coopted by ballet students. What makes Nastia different is her presence. An actress knows how to hold a room, harness intensity, study a character: the holy tenets of Russian ballet. Russian ballet may share French technique and Italian style, but it owns emotional intensity. In the late 19th century, actor, director and coach Constantin Stanislavsky took ballerinas from their barres and taught them to live onstage as swans, sleeping princesses or starcrossed lovers. Character was about beauty and humanness. Shades of feeling and believable truth. Method acting before it had a name. You can see it in Nastia as she watches herself in the mirror. Her movements aren’t the stoic poses and arches of the other girls. She’s aggressive and seductive. It makes sense that she’s taken with contemporary, modern and neoclassic dance pieces—forms traditionalist

SAVE 20%* Russia is slow to love. “Doing 1000 Years of Silence on tour in France last summer gave me freedom. It took me four or five months to change my mentality and let go,” says Nastia. “Russians just don’t understand contemporary dance. For me, it’s a pity, because why not? You should drive the car at every speed.” Nastia straddles the Bolshoi changeover. She honed her modern style with choreographer and former Bolshoi artistic director Alexei Ratmansky before he took a position at American Ballet Company in New York. She’s worked with Sergei Filin, the Bolshoi Ballet’s new artistic director, in the past, respects him and believes he can bring good change to the Bolshoi. She danced on the historic stage before it was closed, and like many dancers, she blanches at the idea of any additions to her home theater, let alone massive hydraulic systems and four new floors. “The old building saw so many things. It’s no longer a place I know,” she sniffs. “I feel like they knocked down a cathedral and put up cardboard.” The director for the piece she and a partner are working on, Wayne McGregor’s Chroma, will be in to watch the couples perform the piece after a couple of months of rehearsals. He’ll pick the lead couple or he may change them around. Nastia isn’t overly stressed about it, which also seems very un-ballerinalike. But with a child, she’s hyperaware that a retired ballerina’s pension isn’t much to live on. She doesn’t want to teach. She wants to live like principal dancer Nikolay Tsiskaridze, who judges on a show similar to American Idol when he’s not dancing. She wants to find multiple platforms for her talent. Maybe finish college. Or go back to acting. “Onstage you spend all of you. All of your power, everything,” Nastia says. “You must love it or you’ll look like a picture—flat. Right now, it is the love of my life. In Russia, you dance with your soul.” She begins the dance again. It has soul, like a great ballerina. Like the Bolshoi Theatre will have again soon.

THE LEADERS IN CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
TM
U.S and foreign patients travel to the world renowned Brown Hand Center across America, inventors of The Brown ProcedureÂŽ Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release and leaders in Hand/Upper extremity care. TM
THE
OPEN CARPAL TUNNEL
BROWN PROCEDURE
First described in 1947
Outpatient, less than 5 minutes
NORMAL tissue layers are sliced through in order to divide the transverse carpal ligament
NO STITCHES and Little or NO PAIN Hand use the following day, unrestricted in 7 days
Stitches for closure of wound
Minimizes risk of permanent nerve damage
Often, a painful scar results that can be permanent Recovery can take 6 weeks to 6 months or NEVER Considered by many to be antiquated, The Brown Procedure has been reported to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;treatment of choiceâ&#x20AC;?
No iatrogenic nerve or artery injuries as reported in the prestigious Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (beware of imitators of The Brown Procedure that do not have the same proven track record over nearly 20 years)
Since 1988, BROWN HAND CENTER has been the destination of choice for patients from around the world who expect world-class comfort and care. BROWN HAND CENTER is where The Brown Procedure was developed and where so many published medical journal articles originated, answering questions others could only ask. BROWN HAND CENTER is the leader in carpal tunnel treatment, as well as all problems affecting the hand and upper extremity, such as arthritic joint problems, injuries and secondary reconstruction, replantation of amputated parts, and congenital birth deformities. When possible, the approach is minimally invasive to reduce patient pain, suffering and recovery time. The Brown Endoscopic Trigger Release (BETR) is another of the many innovations from Brown Hand Center used to treat a common problem, trigger finger. Similar to The Brown Procedure, The BETR utilizes two tiny skin openings to insert instrumentation (designed by Michael G. Brown, MD) to divide the A1 pulley, rather than cutting through normal tissue layers. This â&#x20AC;&#x153;minimally invasiveâ&#x20AC;? approach at BROWN HAND CENTER has allowed countless thousands of patients to return to normal activity in a relatively short period following an outpatient procedure. Many have returned home, thousands of miles away to other countries, the following day.
World-Class Comfort & Care At BROWN HAND CENTER, we maintain a philosophy of respect and kindness that guides everything we do. Often taken for granted, as we take our sight or hearing for granted, the hands are among the most complex parts of the body and loss of use is sorely missed and irreparable damage may be sustained if specialized care is not received. We want you to receive specialized care from the beginning, not just after a complication.
Brown Hand Center
BROWN HAND CENTER physicians, specialists in hand and upper extremity care, are available 24/7. From children born with congenital birth deformities, sports injuries, to arthritis and other intrinsic diseases of the hand...Brown Hand Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hand and Microvascualr surgeons are LEADERS IN NOT ONLY HAND, BUT ALSO WRIST, ARM, ELBOW AND SHOULDER PROBLEMS. The emphasis is always on a minimally invasive approach, when possible, to minimize discomfort and recovery time. BROWN HAND CENTERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ideal is to make available to all the specialized care of a highly skilled and trained hand/microvascular surgeon and to help others understand this specialized field. BROWN HAND CENTERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S message is seen in television and magazine ads worldwide.

Navigating today’s complex dating scene can be daunting, and busy professionals often wonder who to turn to for advice. We sat down with It’s Just Lunch dating expert PJ Osgood to discuss the difficulties of dating for singles on the go. Here’s some of the savvy advice she gives to her clients.
Why is dating so challenging these days for career-focused singles? Let’s face it—dating is challenging for everyone! Throw a demanding professional or family life into the mix, and you can understand why someone hires IJL. Dating feels difficult because time is valuable, and it isn’t easy to efficiently manage a fruitful dating life. With our help, clients go out on dates with someone who already meets their essential requirements. That way, the only thing left to be determined is the chemistry.
What type of person uses It’s Just Lunch? Clients come to me because the process of finding someone on their own can be overwhelming. Meeting people through family, friends, or online requires a lot of time and often doesn’t deliver results. Instead, they join IJL because they are ready to be proactive and want to take a professional approach to finding their compatible match.
So, that’s why they come to IJL? To meet their match?
“Great guys and women don’t circle around your block waiting for you to come out of your house. You’ve got to market yourself.”
Absolutely! Our clients come to IJL because they have reached a point where they want to find someone special. They hire us as results-driven dating specialists. People hire professionals to handle so many aspects of their lives, so why not use a professional to help you find someone special? We are matchmaking professionals —this is what we do day in and day out. We take a personal approach and remain objective. A successful love life for our clients is our goal.
What really differentiates IJL from the other dating options out there? My clients look to me as their personal dating headhunter. At IJL, we meet with our clients face to face and identify the key characteristics they are looking for in a match. We learn what has and hasn’t worked for them in the past and put a positive plan in place. Then we introduce them to other like-minded singles in a casual, lowpressure first date setting where they can truly be themselves. Because in the end, it’s just lunch!
IT’S JUST LUNCH has professional dating specialists just like PJ all around the world. Call us and discover how we can help you create a more rewarding dating life today.
