Q&A: Architecture's Early Riser
Architecture moves slowly. Buildings take time, starchitects develop with age and simply landing the title of "architect" requires years and years of work.
The industry's plodding pace helps explain the modest amount of buzz surrounding 25-year-old Courtney Brett, one of the youngest architects in the industry and, until recently, the youngest member of the American Institute of Architects (read a Q&A with Ms. Brett in AIArchitect, AIA's national e-newsletter). After graduating from the Auburn University School of Architecture at age 20, Ms. Brett worked at architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in New York.
Last May, she founded her own firm, Casburn Brett Architecture, in Daphne, Ala., on Alabama's Gulf Coast. Developments interviewed Ms. Brett about her current projects and what's in store for her next. The following is an edited version of that interview.
WSJ: What projects are you working on now?
Ms. Brett: The Gulf restaurant is a big hit. We have a master plan to renovate 9 acres in Orange Beach, Ala. We built a small outdoor restaurant, almost a glorified food stand, to bring people out to the area. Now we're expanding it. It'll have a big boardwalk, additional kitchen space, food service areas and a retail pavilion. We plan to start Phase 2 construction within the next few weeks, with phased milestones to avoid being under construction during peak summer dates, with final completion by the fall…
We have also been advising on the neighborhood plan for Battles Trace, [a neighborhood designed around a series of parks instead of streets], in Fairhope, Ala. The neighborhood is organized so the fronts of houses open to parks. We are also collaborating with the owner and a local artist on a natural playground for the neighborhood and working on a model home. Infrastructure construction is underway for the neighborhood. The model home will start construction this summer and be completed in the fall.
WSJ: You are 25 years old, and until recently, American Institute of Architects' youngest member. How has your age helped and hindered you?
Ms. Brett: To me, the fact that I've reached milestones earlier than some others is just a mark of my energy and drive. I try to take advantage of opportunities. It's less of a cause and more of an effect of how I'm living my life.
WSJ: Where do you draw inspiration?
Ms. Brett: I read and travel as much as I can squeeze into my schedule. This year, I've been to Denver and San Diego. I love exploring new areas. I'm also reading two [architectural] books: "Walkable City" [by Jeff Speck] and "A Pattern Language" [by Christopher Alexander, Sara Ishikawa and Murray Silverstein.]
WSJ: You have said in prior interviews that you wanted to be an architect since age 10. How has your idea of architecture and career plans shifted over the past 15 years?
Ms. Brett: Fifteen years ago, I didn't know about any architects other than what I read in books. I didn't have a concrete idea then of what it would be, but that's slowly changed over time. I'm fortunate that over the past 15 years, my love for this profession and field has just continued to grow with the new things I learn. One thing I learned is the complexity of the process involved, of taking a product from drawings to the finished project. Now, I also know architects of the community. I dreamed about being part of that as a kid, and to be part of that now is really rewarding.
WSJ: You said in 2012 that you were setting out to build a house for you and your husband, Daniel. How is that going?
Ms. Brett: We don't have any concrete plans yet, but we're hoping to buy land in 2014. Hopefully then our plans will become more concrete. [As far as design], I think about it all the time. A lot of it will depend on how the building relates to its site—if we can get good light, good shading. We have a stack of ideas ready to go. It's a dream come true to design your own house.

In Reply.—This case definitely does not correspond to a reaction to penicillin G procaine for three reasons: (1) the hallucinations developed three hours after the intramuscular injection, (2) there was a recurrence of the hallucination, and (3) hallucinations were predominantly tactile and of long duration. By contrast, Hoigne's syndrome consists of a panic reaction (or seizure) immediately after the injection of penicillin, it is of brief duration, and it disappears without returning.
This patient fulfills all the diagnostic criteria of "acute phobic hallucinosis of childhood." This rare condition occurs in children between 3 and 6 years of age. It is characterized by an acute onset of visual and tactile hallucinations and delusions.1-3 Often there is a content that includes persecutory animals and insects.4 The presentation is always dramatic (and that is the only similarity to Hoigne's syndrome); the course is transient, situational, and reversible.

Ratings for Dr. Henry Brem
My brother died of benign brain tumor because Dr Brem refuse transfer to more competent doctor
I see Dr. Brem regularly to monitor my brain tumor. He is so kind, and takes all the time I need to answer questions. This does cause him to run behind schedule, but he is worth the wait. His PA is also wonderful, and is great about communicating via email when I have additional questions.
Dr. Brem removed my brain tumor. It was a very large Meningioma. He performed a difficult craniotomy. He saved my life. Thank you Dr. Brem.
I just returned from neurosurgery for a benign intraosseous meningioma that had spread into my frontal sinus as well as into the intra calvarial space, requiring both neurosurgical dissection as well as plastic skull reconstruction. I'm a retired physician as well as status post four major surgeries. I visited 3 centers as well as reviewing my case with 2 others. No one answered my questions, or addressed the particulars of my case with the detail and care of the Hopkins team. Their diagnosis and management was correct per biopsy. My rapid recovery was a testament to the time they took to limit bleeding and swelling . Dr. Brem's plastic teammate, Dr. Gordon, was particularly scrupulous in imagining and designing the prosthetic replacement for my forehead. I reviewed all of their work and papers before choosing them. And am very grateful. vicki
Dr. Brem saved my life and I am very thankful for this. I was diagnosed with the brain tumor and Dr. Brem did magic by giving my life back.
I had surgery in September of 2007, non cancerous tumor. THANK GOD FOR DR.BREM. He was compassionate, skillful,helpful,knowledgable. It was a difficult decision, but with his help and guidance, I was able to make the right one and all is fine today. I cannot believe anything but the best of outcomes with this man's hand. Yes, you have to wait to see him, but he is the head of the neurosurgery department and he was being constantly interrupted while meeting with me and my husband. However, it was worth it to have him as my surgeon.
I had my tumor removed March 15 2011 by Dr. Brem. I never seen a more compassionate person as Dr Brem. He did a wonderful job removing the tumor which was non cancerous. I'm doing well in that area thanks to him. When I went to see him after the surgery he was happy to see I was doing so well despite my high blood pressure which I'm working on. When I went to hug him he gave a hug like your father would. I respect him and honor him. Thank You Doc! Millie Pfeiffer
I can not imagine anyone being able to say anything bad about Dr. Brem. Yes, sometimes he runs very late for appointments, but doctors do have emergencies to attend too. He is a truly gifted surgeon and a very nice human being. My husband and I think the world of him. He did an excellent job removing my tumor and took very good care of me afterwards. His clinical nurse, Eileen is awesome too.
This was a complete waste of time! This man sits there with a smirk on his face and cannot answer your questions. He did not have my records with him, which was unprofessional. He was not concerned with our feelings and offered no information that was helpful to us at all. He seemed satisfied that his job was done at the end of our appointment but we were left in a more confused state then prior to meeting with him! Waste of time!!
I had to wait 3 hours to see Dr. Brem for my follow-up appointment. I was told, In confidence, by other doctors at Hopkins that he relies on residents and other surgeons to do his operations because he is not a very capable surgeon. When I was in clinic I noticed two other patients arriving in wheelchairs who had similar operations to mine. I guess I was one of the lucky ones.

There have been a troubling suggestions of war coming out of Republicans at the RNC in Tampa. Mitt Romney reiterated this on Thursday, when he accepted his party's 2012 nomination for president of the United States.
Romney criticized President Obama for not using force against Iran to stop their nuclear program, saying that he "has failed to slow Iran's nuclear threat." But he also made comments about the relationship between the United States and Russia that implied a willingness to ignite another Cold War. Romney said that President Obama was "eager to give Russia's president Putin the flexibility he desires after the election."
Add those comments to Romney's economic plan, which adds another $1 trillion to the defense budget, and Americans have serious cause for concern.
Talk of war at a political convention by a candidate with absolutely no foreign policy experience should send up a warning flag to a war-weary nation. And while trying to garner support for new wars, Romney conspicuously failed to mention the decade of fighting in Afghanistan that has not only cost America trillions of dollars, it has also taken more than 2,000 American lives.
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) also made remarks on Wednesday that suggested another war was the answer to America's foreign policy issues.
"We are now being tested by an array of threats that are more complex, more numerous, and just as deeply and deadly as I can recall in my lifetime," McCain said. "We can't afford to give governments in Russia and China a veto over how we defend our interests and the progress of our values in the world. I believe we cannot afford to substitute a political timetable to a military strategy," he added.
McCain then made his own plea to expand the deficit with more defense spending for more wars, and mentioned troubled spots in the Middle East including, Syria and Iran. He also mentioned Russia.
Both Romney and McCain readily used the words "freedom," and "strength" and "justice," as if they came with no price tag.
Political conventions are designed to be more of a venue for pep rallies than a place for detailed foreign policy. But it can only be considered reckless to use it to talk of starting wars we can't afford that will surely take American lives.
While war-mongering and more defense spending may not have been a detail many people took away from the RNC, it should have been. This is dangerous talk from Romney, whose first visit abroad as a candidate, resulted in little more than a diplomatic disaster and embarrassment for the United States.

In honor of the Anti-Defamation League's Centennial year, each month ADL Connecticut will feature a "100 Years of Impact" profile about a dynamic leader or leaders whose lives have been impacted by ADL. Werner Oyanadel is the Executive Director of Connecticut's Latino and Puerto Rican Affairs Commission and was one of 19 prominent Latino leaders across the country to participate in ADL's "Latino Leaders Mission to Israel" in 2012.
Werner Oyanadel remembers watching the "A-Team" on television as a child. "One day, there was a tank on the TV," he recalls. "I happened to look out the window and there was a tank there, too. My mom grabbed us and threw us all in the bathtub. It was the safest place in the house if any debris happened to fall."
Werner, now the Executive Director of Connecticut's Latino and Puerto Rican Affairs Commission (LPRAC), grew up in Santiago, Chile, during the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship.
"Because I lived during the dictatorship, I think that's what gave me an interest in becoming involved in issues of social change," says Werner. "I was really affected by the protests that were taking place at the time. I wanted to make a difference, but it wasn't going to be pro-revolution – I wasn't going to be a protestor. I wanted to have a systemic impact, and to do that I would have to study public policy or political science."
In 1987, at age 16, Werner and his family left Santiago for Simsbury, Conn., where his grandmother lived. He attended Simsbury High School, but he struggled because his English was poor.
"I'd studied some British English in Chile, but I couldn't communicate," he says. "In Santiago, if a teacher asked, 'Do you mind coming to the front of the class to say a few words?' I was the first one up. Here, I was dropping my pen so that nobody would see me."
His English quickly improved, and after high school Werner joined the Army National Guard so that he could receive a free college education. He graduated from Central Connecticut State University and immediately began volunteering at the State Capitol, eventually landing a job as a legislative assistant with the House Democrats. After working as a staffer on several Connecticut campaigns, LPRAC hired Werner as a legislative analyst in 2000.
"It was a great fit for me because in coming to LPRAC, I was able to work on public policy issues that were affecting the Latino community, which is my passion," he says. "I would be able to create social change and impact people's lives, and not in a pro-revolutionary manner. I was beginning to reach a level of influence where I could work on issues that were very dear to me."
LPRAC, according to its website, "is mandated to make recommendations to the (Connecticut General Assembly) and the Governor for new or enhanced policies that will foster progress in achieving health, safety, educational success, economic self-sufficiency, and end discrimination in Connecticut."
Werner rose through the ranks, earning the title of Acting Executive Director in 2009 and Executive Director earlier this year. During his 13 years at LPRAC, he has worked on a number of issues concerning poverty, immigration and equal rights, but he says his proudest moment is the passage of the Connecticut Dream Act, which provides undocumented immigrants who live and went to high school in Connecticut with the ability to attend colleges and universities in Connecticut at in-state tuition rates. ADL has long been an advocate for comprehensive immigration reform and worked with LPRAC to secure the passage of the Connecticut Dream Act every step of the way, testifying to the Connecticut Legislature in favor of the bill.
"Working with ADL on the Connecticut Dream Act really helped me understand the value of ADL's work, both on the state level and nationally," says Werner. "LPRAC knows it has an ally in ADL and we won't hesitate to turn to ADL in future legislative endeavors."
Late in 2012, Werner was one of 19 prominent Latino leaders from across the United States to participate in ADL's "Latino Leaders Mission to Israel." There the leaders learned firsthand about the rich texture and resilient nature of Israeli society, its culture and politics, the complexity of Israel's conflict with the Palestinians and the challenges Israel faces from upheaval and instability in the region. They visited places of religious, political and historical importance and met with representatives from nonprofit organizations, the Israeli government, security analysts, Holocaust survivors, Israeli-Arabs, Israeli entrepreneurs and journalists.
Werner had never been to Israel and didn't know much about the region.
"It's important to learn the history and to understand what is taking place there within a historical and political context," he says. "Israel needs to remain strong. Through strength, it can guide dialogue so that it can remain a power in the Middle East for many years to come."
He added that the trip made him more aware of the work ADL does on a legislative level, and that much of it is similar to that of LPRAC.
"As a Latino leader, I've been on many missions to Latin America, but I never thought I would make it to Israel," he says. "Without ADL, I wouldn't have. There was so much to see! One of the consequences if bringing me over there on this trip was that the mission worked. It's funny, I don't keep in touch with any of the Latino leaders I went with, but I made some good Israeli friends who I still talk to. I have a great connection to the people that I met over there and to the land, and I have to go back."

New materials
I bought a few things during my lunch break today, including three empty Tria brush markers - I want to fill them up with ink or liquid watercolour for sketching on the go. I'll risk waterproof India Ink in one of them, and see how it goes - I love drawing with that.

Another chapter in Lindsay Lohan's very public family life has come to a close: Her parents, Michael and Dina Lohan, decided on Monday to settle their contentious divorce, according to attorneys for both sides.
"Dina and the children are delighted that this chapter in their lives is finally over," Dina's attorney, Robert S. Cohen, told PEOPLE. "And it is over."
The settlement comes the same day the divorce trial was expected to resume. Though terms of the agreement are confidential, a source close to Dina says she is happy with the outcome.
Through his attorney, John DiMascio, Jr., Michael said on Monday, "I'm happy with the agreement and look forward to the opportunity to rebuild my relationship with my children."
The strife between Lindsay's parents has very much been in the public eye, and even serves as the basis of several songs on her album A Little More Personal (Raw). Also, in the video for her single "Confessions of a Broken Heart," which Lindsay, 19, directed, actors playing her parents argue violently as a horrified young Lindsay (played by her younger sister Aliana) cowers.
Before her parents divorce proceeding began over the summer, the actress told PEOPLE, "I don't think any girl wants to see her parents in this situation...I've been hurt."
But it was clear which side Lindsay was on. "My mom has always been a great support, and she has put so much of her own life into my career," said the star, who at the time canceled the remainder of her Herbie: Fully Loaded European tour to bolster her mother.
Dina, 43, and Michael, 45, married in 1985. In divorce papers, which were made public, Dina claimed that her husband was abusive and a philanderer. Michael, meanwhile, originally sought half of Dina's earnings, which she makes as Lindsay's manager.
Michael is currently serving time in prison for crimes including assault and driving while impaired.

Johnson & Johnson falsely claims that its Listerine Total Care Anticavity mouthwash fights dental plaque above the gum line, according to a class action lawsuit filed in San Francisco Federal Court. The class action lawsuit comes amidst an FDA crackdown on companies making false marketing claims about the benefits of mouth-rinse products.
Listerine Total Care Anticavity mouthwash is advertised as being able to help consumers "prevent cavities, restore enamel, strengthen teeth, kill bad breath germs, freshen breath" and "fight unsightly plaque above the gum line." According to the class action lawsuit, however, Listerine's sole active ingredient — sodium fluoride – "does not effectively fight plaque above the gum line" and is "ineffective for the purposes conveyed to consumers." The lawsuit further charges that Johnson & Johnson tells consumers that Listerine Total Care is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), when, in fact, the product "does not have FDA approval for all of the purposes for which it is marketed."
The Listerine Total Care class action lawsuit was filed just days after the FDA warned Johnson & Johnson to stop making unsupported claims that their mouthwash promotes healthy gums and removes plaque, because no such benefit has been proven. The FDA also warned two drugstore giants — CVS and Walgreens — to stop making unsubstantiated claims about their generic-brand mouthwash products: CVS Complete Care Anticavity Mouthwash and Walgreens Mouth Rinse Full Action.
Under U.S. law, companies cannot claim that a product is effective at treating a disease unless the FDA has approved the claim, or the active ingredient has been generally recognized as safe and effective for the claim. All three mouthwashes cited by the FDA contain sodium fluoride as their active ingredient, which prevents cavities but has not been found by the FDA to be effective at preventing gum disease or removing plaque.
The lawsuit is brought on behalf of all consumers who purchased Listerine Total Care Anticavity mouthwash within the United States. It also includes a separate class of individuals who purchased the product in California. It is seeking damages and restitution for all class members.
A copy of the Johnson & Johnson Listerine Total Care Class Action Lawsuit can be read here.
UPDATE: This case was transferred on Feb. 24, 2011 to multidistrict litigation where multiple class action lawsuits were consolidated alleging the same claims. On Nov. 11, 2011, the court dismissed all cases in the Listerine Total Care MDL (In re: Listerine Total Care Mouthwash Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation, MDL No. 2210, in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida). The dismissal followed an Aug. 2 motion by Johnson subsidiary McNeil-PPC Inc., which said its mouthwash is clinically proven to fight plaque above the gums, therefore, claims that it falsely advertised the mouthwash's anti-plaque properties are baseless.
A new Listerine Total Care class action lawsuit was filed on May 21, 2014, alleging that it is falsely advertised as being able to restore tooth enamel.

However, the guy is right handed and in his only two seasons where he received more than 350 at bats he ops .829 and then .887 in 2006 when he hit 23 hr drove in 85 hit .310 slugged .525 and obp .364. He seems like a guy who is worth rolling the dice on who should be in the Reds price range and at great american, his numbers should improve.

Posted on March 6, 2012 in Meet the Playtesters
Hi Hi!
Next up on the list of our Tennis Warehouse Playtesters is Jose. He is a Customer Service Representative and a Master Racquet Technician. He playtests both racquets and shoes. Check out his interview below.
Racquet of Choice: Prince Exo3 Tour 18×20
String of Choice: Luxilon Big Banger Alu Power
Shoe of Choice: Asics Gel Resolution 4
Apparel of Choice: Nike
When/Why did you start playing tennis?
I started playing tennis in high school. The only reason I tried out for tennis is because I was short a PE unit to graduate during my sophomore year. I tried out for every sport and the only sport that took me in was tennis. Just like any other sport, I get really competitive and I was tired of being the rookie so I decided to work on my tennis. By the time I became decent, I managed to fall in love with the sport and continued to played throughout college at Allan Hancock Community College.
Who inspires you to play tennis?
Rafa! Just the heart that Rafa puts in the court makes me want to play more tennis. But overall, just watching professional tennis players and seeing what they do is impressive to me. I could go watch them play live and I find myself to be more interested in watching them practice than to see their actual match.
What is your favorite shot to hit and why?
SERVE! I love the serve because it gets me a lot of easy and free shots. It is the only shot that I could really take my time on with out feeling pressure from my opponent.
What racquets have you used (not tested) during your tennis career?
I started tennis with a inexpensive frame called the Prince TT Thunder. If I remember correctly it was an oversize frame that was head heavy and a real light static weight. I ended up throwing that frame away when the strings broke since back then I had no idea you could restring a racquet. By my junior year of high school, my coach hooked me up with two Head Intelligent Instincts that I used for the whole year. By my senior year, I needed to get something with more control and upgraded to the Head Prestige Mid and finished high school with that frame. My first year of college tennis, I played with the Wilson K Six tour 90 (Roger's Frame). I figured since the great Roger was using that frame it would benefit me. I was wrong! That frame was demanding and I was shanking a lot of balls. My last year in college I went back to Head and customized two Head Extreme racquets to 12.3 ounce static weight and about a 330 swingweight. After college, one of my friends and former play-tester Danny Castro got me hooked to the Volkl Power Bridge 10s. But after a while, I ended up going back to 100 square inch headsize with my current frame the Prince EXO3 Tour 100 18×20.
If you could compare your game style to a pro's (past or present), who would it be and why?
I would say Pete Sampras but without his accuracy or power. I am having a hard time breaking 110 mph on my first serve let alone 135mph. I like playing aggressive and putting away points early. Or just like Pete, I let my serve do a lot of my talking.
What has been your favorite match you have ever watched (live or on TV)?
Rafa Nadal vs Roger Federer in the 2008 Wimbledon Final where Nadal beat Roger 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-7(8), 9-7.
What has been your most memorable tennis match (win or lose)?
At the Avila Bay Club in the first round of a tournament. I had to play a close friend of mine, Rob Hansen. He had a higher ranking than me when we played college together but I wanted to earn his respect since I have never been able to beat him in a match. The final score was 6-4, 6-7, 6-4. It was really close match and I remember our match gave the tennis director a hard time because it was so long he got behind schedule. During the match, I was having a hard time talking to him during change overs. We were both in the zone and I knew I had an advantage since he had stopped playing for a while and his timing was not there. But at the end of the day, we still managed to grab a beer and make a memory.
What is the funniest thing that has ever happened while you were playing tennis?
First day of practice in high school during my senior year I decided to be cool and wear big studs earrings. During our practice we were practicing closing the net out from a volley position. One of my team members ended up hitting an overhead at me and knocked out my right earring out. I guess since it was so bright it gave him a target. Now I either take them off or wear small ones.
Have you had any injuries? For how long? How did you deal with them?
The worse injury was a left groin injury that I had pulled during practice in college. The Alan Hancock Community College staff did a great job on helping me heal but I did have to miss a couple of matches and was in about a month and a half of pain. But other than that, I have had no serious injuries.
What is your favorite part of being a TW playtester?
Being able to try new material before it hits the market.
Who is your favorite TW playtester to hit/play with?
Troy since we both understand our games. Plus I am trying to fix my weak areas and he does a great job on exposing them for me.
Who is the TW playtester that gives you the most trouble?
Mr. Troy Lara and Chris Edwards. They both like to move me around and for some reason my serve does not affect them at all.
What has been your favorite review and why?
Head Prestige Mid since I really hard a good comparison from the old models.
Please check back next week when we highlight our last playtester in the final installment of "Meet the Playtesters."

To get a sense of what farmland preservation looks like in New Jersey, stroll Hartford Road in Moorestown.
Just north of the vast Lockheed Martin missile defense complex sits 58 acres of dairy barns, grain silos, farmhouses, pasture, and soybean fields.
And in the field across the way, another crop is sprouting: townhouses.
There, bulldozers are clearing land and steamrollers are paving roads for a 122-unit subdivision, the Mews at Laurel Creek, with prices starting at $469,000.
Development pressure is intense in Moorestown and all across the nation's most densely populated, urbanized state.
But no townhouse or strip mall will likely ever rise on the former Winner Farm across from the Mews.

We present the case of a 33-year-old woman who was being treated for bronchial asthma for 4 years. A tracheal tumor was evident on a computed tomography of the thorax and removed with argon plasma coagulation. It was diagnosed as pleomorphic adenoma of the trachea. It is a rare tracheal tumor without definite treatment guidelines. Our endoscopic approach to this rare lesion is discussed.
Pleomorphic adenomas commonly involve major salivary glands, parotid and submandibular glands being the most frequent locations. Involvement of the trachea and bronchi is rare, and to the best of our knowledge 41 cases have been reported.1 Although most of these adenomas are considered benign, malignant transformation with metastases to the lung parenchyma and chest wall have been described.2 Middle-aged men or women are most commonly affected; symptoms are not specific and, as with other tracheal tumors, could simulate asthma.3,4 Prognosis is not well defined because of its potential for mitosis and the paucity of data describing its behavior.5 Recommended management includes surgery or resection by means of bronchoscopy.6 We report a case of a pleomorphic adenoma of the trachea that was resected with argon plasma coagulation and subsequent early follow-up biopsies at 15 days and 8 months.
A 33-year-old woman with complaints of productive cough, whizzing, and occasional hemoptysis was being treated for asthma for the past 4 years. Her chest roentgenogram and spirometry were unremarkable. Computed tomography (CT) of the thorax showed a tumor confined to the inner trachea, in its upper third (Fig. 1). Flexible bronchoscopy (FB) performed under conscious sedation revealed a lobulated, vascularized sessile tumor arising from the right lateral wall of the upper trachea occluding approximately 80% of its lumen (Fig. 2A). A therapeutic FB was performed in the operating room under general anesthesia, having rigid bronchoscope available if required. Initially, an ultrathin bronchoscope (Olympus XP-160 F Optical Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) was passed beyond the tumor for estimating the length of the lesion. Subsequently, through a 6 mm outer diameter bronchoscope (Olympus BF-1T180, Optical Co., Ltd.), argon plasma coagulation of the lesion was carried out after obtaining the endobronchial biopsy. Near total patency of the tracheal lumen was established. (Fig. 2B). Histopathologic examination revealed pleomorphic adenoma of the trachea (Fig. 3).
Repeated bronchoscopies were performed at day 15 and at 8 months using narrow band imaging (NBI) guidance and endobronchial biopsies were obtained. No vascular abnormalities suggestive of neoplastic process were seen on the NBI and the biopsy finding revealed only inflammatory changes.
Primary tumors of the trachea correspond to 0.2% of all airway neoplasms, affecting 0.1/100,000 individuals per year. Ninety percent of these lesions in adults are malignant,7 squamous cell carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma being the commonest.8 The most frequent benign tracheal tumors are papilloma, fibroma, hamartoma, and hemangioma.9 Pleomorphic adenomas of the trachea are rare benign neoplasms. Macroscopically, they have a grayish appearance and a firm consistency, most being sessile and located in the lower third of the trachea and main carina.3
Microscopically, glandular and myoepithelial cells with chondromyxoid stroma and central pseudoinvasion are characteristics. Its slow rate of growth is responsible for the insidious clinical course, with symptoms such as cough, stridor, dyspnea, whizzing, and hemoptysis. Dyspnea is reported as the main complaint,8,10 and patients are often misdiagnosed as having asthma.3,4,11 Pulmonary function testing with the flow volume loop could be helpful in suspecting the tracheal lesion,4 but in the present case, spirometry was normal. Chest roentgenograms are not helpful because tumors are rarely visualized.11 CT and magnetic resonance images of the thorax have a diagnostic yield of up to 90%, also allowing for the evaluation of near and distant structures. Some authors recommend both studies in the differential diagnosis of asthma, especially if an adequate response to treatment was not achieved.3,11,12
FB remains as the gold standard for diagnosing tracheal tumors. A precise evaluation of tumor characteristics, localization, and extension is made by the bronchoscopic examination, along with the possibility of biopsy sampling. Both CT and bronchoscopy play a central role in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Treatment of tracheal tumors initially involves resection to alleviate airway obstruction and respiratory distress, if present. It could be made by surgery or bronchoscopy, whether rigid or flexible.13 Evidence for the definite treatment of tracheal tumors, which rely on single-institution series and epidemiological studies, mainly applies to squamous cell carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, and other malignant tracheal neoplasms. It seems that there are enough data suggesting a better survival after surgical resection when compared with nonsurgical treatment for all malignant neoplasms of the trachea, even if resection margins are close.7 Thus, approach focuses on who might be amenable for surgical resection and who may not, reserving endoscopic techniques for palliation or acute relief of obstruction.11
Benign tracheobronchial adenomas have a good prognosis when surgically resected.9 Endoscopic resection has also been proposed as curative treatment while using a proper technique and when limited to those tumors with endoluminal growth and a small implantation base.14 In the presented case, no extraluminal growth was evidenced by CT and endoscopic resection was feasible.
Malignant transformation of pleomorphic adenoma has been described in 2 case reports10 and is probably the main reason for suggesting surgery as the only potentially curative treatment. Even though long-term follow-up after endoscopic resection has not been provided, along with the paucity of data, endoscopic techniques as a treatment option cannot be precluded. Endoscopic resections by laser or argon plasma coagulation followed by careful observation have been reported with good results.6,14 An understanding of the role of endobronchial ultrasound and NBI in the staging and follow-up of these tumors is currently lacking.
Pleomorphic adenoma of the trachea is considered a rare tumor. As with other tracheal tumors, obstructive respiratory symptoms could mimic asthma and cause a delay in the diagnosis. CT and FB help in confirming the diagnosis and treatment planning. Surgical resection is considered the treatment of choice; however, less-invasive endoscopic resection with careful observation could also serve as a treatment option.

Excellent Product!
My husband and I have been using IPSAB Herbal Gum Treatment by Heritage for 35 years. Every time my gums get red or feel some discomfort, I would rub a small amount with my fingers on the affected area. It really works. My husband likes to mix a small amount with a bit of water and swish in his mouth. We used to buy directly from Heritage Store, but they charge a much higher price. I am glad Pure Formulas carries this and at a much better price. I wish they would also carry the 4 oz. size.
It really works on my gums.

Unlocking the Mysteries of Birth and Death
Pub. Year
2003 (2nd edition)
Middleway Press (USA)
Since the first English edition of Unlocking the Mysteries of Birth and Death, in 1988 (Macdonald & Co.), breakthroughs in such fields as stem-cell research have propelled the medical questions of what constitutes life and what constitutes death into public debate. While these are taken up in the author's three-way dialogue On Being Human with cancer researcher Rene Simard and bioethicist Guy Bourgeault, this second edition of Unlocking the Mysteries of Birth and Death takes up the philosophical and spiritual aspects of these questions from the Nichiren Buddhist view.
Buddhism identifies birth and death, along with aging and sickness, as universal or worldly sufferings. (Birth is a suffering because life gives rise to aging, sickness and death.) The Lotus Sutra, which Nichiren Buddhism holds as the core of the Mahayana movement, teaches that without the basic human impulses and the problems of life and death there can, in fact, be no enlightenment. This is the premise for Ikeda's discussion of life and death.
"By taking a close look at each of the four sufferings," Ikeda writes, "this book seeks to illuminate the truth and wisdom necessary to sail calmly over the troubled sea of worldly suffering."
Integral to his discussion are references to luminaries such as Goethe and Montaigne on the philosophical qualities of living and dying. The spectrum of these qualities is enlarged by events such as the September 11, 2001 tragedies which claimed thousands of lives and affected millions; anecdotal stories of people such as Helen Keller and Leonardo da Vinci; and clinical studies by researchers such as Raymond Moody and Elizabeth Kubler-Ross.
Beyond the theoretical, the philosophical and the scientific, Ikeda draws out from Buddhism practical wisdom in fully facing aging and death: "If we do not understand the nature of our lives—the fleeting aspect as well as the eternal—we can neither live meaningfully nor die in peace."
This second English edition includes a new Preface by the author. There are also Japanese, Italian, Spanish, German and Romanian editions.

The 1990s in Latin America: Another Decade of Persistent Inequality, but with Somewhat Lower Poverty
Miguel Szekely
Journal of Applied Economics, Vol. 6, No. 2, pp. 317-339, November 2003
This paper processes 76 household surveys from 17 Latin American countries to document changes in poverty and inequality during the 1990s, and performs an analysis of the effect of economic reforms on inequality and poverty by using an expanded data base of 94 surveys spanning the 1977-2000 period. We show that there is no country in Latin America where inequality declined during the 1990s. Poverty declined in 10 or 11 out of the 17 countries for which household surveys are available to us, depending on the poverty measured used. Persistently high inequality inhibited further poverty reduction. One important factor contributing to the persistently high inequality level is financial liberalization. Trade liberalization and a more stable macroeconomic environment had a slight inequality-reducing effect.

My first patient of the day is a 5-year-old girl with hair lovingly manicured with dozens of ballies that click together like a metal pendulum as she bounces around the examining room, oblivious to the intense conversation I am having with her mother.
Where is the child's father? I ask. "Away," her mother answers.
This common reply can have many bad implications for the child's health and well-being and is one of the routine questions we ask when we take a social history.
The questions reveal the child's home life and support system, including the type of housing she lives in, the safety of her neighborhood, the school or day-care center she attends, what pets she has (and, of course, the name of each pet), and, most important, who is involved in her life.

Novasep and instrAction have broadened their existing API purification technology alliance to cover taxane drugs. Novasep says the extended collaboration means it will be able to develop and operate or supply optimized large-scale chromatography processes for the purification of taxane-based APIs and intermediates, utilizing instrAction's stationary phases. The firms inked their original alliance covering nonchiral chromatography in July 2010.
Germany-based instrAction develops and manufactures "Instruction® Receptor Phases" as novel API-selective resins for chromatography. It claims the Instruction technology enables the immobilization of a wide variety of functional ligands on a polymer network coated on very different porous backbone materials. The overall platform allows small molecules as well as high molecular weight molecules to be separated by highly selective reversible interactions. The firm has synthesized a family of selective stationary phases that it claims demonstrates strong potential for the purification of various taxanes.
The latest agreement means Novasep will be able to access instrAction's technology to develop a multistep synthesis or semi-synthesis, and optimize purification steps using its partner's set of taxane-selective chromatography stationary phases. The resulting optimized process can then be scaled up for clinical and commercial-scale purification. Alternatively, Novasep notes, it can supply the process to its customers, as a combination of its own Prochrom® HPLC columns and systems, with instrAction's selective stationary phases.
"Thanks to instrAction's highly selective chromatographic stationary phases and Novasep's 20 years experience in taxane synthesis and purification, we are looking to see a paradigm shift in solutions for our customers worldwide as a result of this collaboration," comments René De Vaumas executive vp for business development at Novasep Synthesis.
Novasep develops and manufactures taxane-based APIs and intermediates at its FDA-inspected, SafeBridge-certified site at Le Mans in France.

When Kurt Russell played golf in his late teens, he used to score in the 80s. This summer he's swinging again and has been playing well, nearly netting himself a whole lot of green during a recent day on the links. "I have to tell you, I came real close to winning a million-dollar hole in one," says Russell, 41, who nearly made the feat at the recent Aspen Charity Golf Classic. "Everybody was oohing and aahing, and I thought I had it. Then the ball slopped about lour feel from the hole. If I'd gotten it in. I'd have won a million dollars. Half of it would have gone to the Aspen Junior Golf Foundation [which provides funds for leaching golf to local children]. The other half probably would have gone into—I don't know—an airplane. But I don't have to worry about it now." Does Russell ever get so teed off he throws a club? "No," he says, "I'm not that good."
Turning 50 can plunge anyone into a mid-life crisis, even Jack Nicholson. "I suddenly realized that I had maybe 15, 20 years left, and I was fat and bloated and looking like a beagle on downers," Nicolson, now 55, reveals in the September issue of British Elle magazine. "I saw where I was headed, and it didn't look pretty. I'm not anxious to imitate Marlon Brando." Nicholson took action, shedding 40 lbs. and taking up with actress Rebecca Broussard, 28, with whom he has since had two children, daughter Lorraine, 2, and son Raymond, 6 months. Asked why he continues to maintain a house apart from his family, he said, "Everybody makes a big thing of that. Look, it's so simple. I'm very moody and I shouldn't be around anyone when I think the world is too awful to tolerate. I need to have a place where no one gets into. Rebecca understands that, and it's fantastic for our relationship. It's my office—not my harem."
Pop singer Curtis Stigers can pinpoint his earliest musical influence. "My mom said I was conceived to the chorus of the Rolling Stones' 'Satisfaction,' " says Stigers, 26, whose eponymous debut album has been a million seller. Having recently opened on tour for Elton John, Prince and, currently, Eric Clapton, Stigers has had a chance to get to know some of the icons who influenced his early years. But nothing, he reports, quite rocked his world like meeting the Godfather of Soul, James Brown. "I didn't know what he was saying," says Stigers, "but I was in heaven. It was like hanging out with God."
When Holly Robinson was cast as Diana Ross in the upcoming ABC miniseries The Jacksons: An American Dream, concerning Michael and his singing siblings, Robinson began studying videotapes of Ross at work. Better the ex—21 Jump Street star should have hit the gym. "In one scene, I was wearing three-inch heels and a remake of a 1,000-pound Bob Mackie beaded dress with a train. It reminded me of when you go to the dentist and they put that leaded vest on you," says Robinson, 27, who does her own singing in the movie. "And worse than that, I had to glide across the stage, throw out my hip and never let them see those knees bend. I did that for six or seven hours. My legs and feel hurt for three weeks!"

Parents seek new pundits' perspectives
While mainstream moviegoers seem to care less and less about which films get a thumbs-up or four-star review — for proof, look no further than the recent, mostly panned blockbusters "300" and "Ghost Rider" — conservative Christian audiences pay close attention to their trusted critical sources; their guides just don't work for "Entertainment Weekly" or "Entertainment Tonight."
"When you're listening to Roger Ebert, you're listening to his puffery, his opinion," says Ted Baehr, founder of Movieguide, a ministry that evaluates mass media according to biblical principles, receives approximately 3 million online visitors a month and has 11 million subscribers to its email newsletter. "There's no historical analysis, no philosophical analysis, no background."
Baehr says the American evangelical community, a group estimated up to 100 million strong, isn't interested in an individual critic's take on a film. "The people who turn to us want a detailed look at a movie from a Christian perspective. We're as comprehensive as possible not just about the entertainment value but about the acceptability of its worldview."
For example, Michael Apted's drama "Amazing Grace," about the British abolitionist movement, garnered generally favorable reviews according to Metacritic.com, but in the Christian media, it earned huge raves — even though DGA president Apted isn't known as a Christian filmmaker.
"We don't care who makes or markets a movie; we care about the messages it's sending," says Bob Smithouser, who edits Focus on the Family's Plugged In magazine and reviews films for PluggedInOnline.com. "Is 'Amazing Grace' a mainstream film or a Christian film? Frankly, I don't care because it's terrific."
Savvy to the spending power of Christian auds, studios regularly invite church leaders and their staff to preview certain releases in hopes of an endorsement or perhaps a sermon mention.
"We don't directly recommend movies because we don't want to fall into being part of a movie's marketing machine," says Gene Appel, head minister at South Barrington, Illinois-based Willow Creek Community Church, which has more than 20,000 weekly congregants. "But we appreciate movies that provoke people to have conversations of substance."
Last year, Willow Creek held a five-part sermon series responding to "The Da Vinci Code," took the student ministry on a trip to see "The Chronicles of Narnia" and showed clips from "Cheaper by the Dozen" to illustrate how families communicate. Says Appel: "We want to harness popular culture for good and to help people think discerningly about what they watch."
In addition to relying on Christian media outlets and leaders, religious moviegoers can turn to thorough, often spoiler-filled content descriptions, especially when considering what their children can see. Web sites like Kids-in-Mind.com and ScreenIt.com provide parents with painstakingly accurate lists of how much sex, violence and foul language there is in any given film (few would be surprised to learn there are 63 F-bombs in Chris Rock's "I Think I Love My Wife").
"Conservative parents are bothered by sex, while liberal parents are more sensitive to violence; conservative Christians are very upset about language containing religious profanities, while liberal Christians are more upset about the F-word, etc.," says Aris Christofedes, editor of Critics Inc., the parent company of Kids-in-Mind. "Our reviews are basically a list of ingredients, similar to what you find on food item labels."
These days, Baehr says, Christians have more options at the box office than they did two decades ago. For every "non-Christian" film like "Brokeback Mountain" or the latest "Harry Potter," there's a Christian-friendly film like "Narnia" or "Superman Returns." "In the '80s, one of the only movies with positive references to Jesus Christ was 'The Trip to Bountiful,' but now the figure has risen to 50% of films. That's a very good sign."

A pair of Williamsport Family Medicine Residency Program doctors got a crash course on the health care needs of southern India when they spent five days reaching out to people there.
"It is an area that doesn't have the most basic of health care needs being met," said Dr. Matthew Meeker.
Contrast that, said Dr. Catherine Boucher, to the U.S., where people often complain "they can't get the highest quality of health care."

Dr. Matthew Meeker and Dr. Catherine Boucher stand in front of the monastery they worked at during a five-day mission to southern India.
Dr. Matthew Meeker, left, and a Medical Care International attending doctor drain an abscess on a monk.
Dr. Catherine Boucher, right, teaches a group of nuns, with the help of a translator.
The two resident doctors flew in October to the Asian country with a team of nine medical professionals to provide free medical care to Tibetan monks, nuns and laymen in a poor rural farming area.
They landed in Mumbai, India's most populous city, before traveling to the Loseling Clinic near Hubli. The clinic is run by the charitable medical organization, Loseling Altruistic Medical Association, an extension of the Drepung Loseling Monastery.
While there, the doctors set up a small pharmacy, stocking it with over-the-counter medications donated by Glaxo Smith Kline, as well as toothpaste, tooth brushes and glasses for reading and sun protection.
"They don't even have things like Tylenol," said Meeker, a graduate of Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
What the people do have is poverty.
"There are two main groups of people we saw," Meeker said. "The Tibetan monks generally are well taken care of. With the lay Indian people, you saw malnourishment. Their diets appear to be mostly rice."
Boucher said nutrition problems likely had something to do with the very look of the people. Children appeared much smaller and younger than American kids, while middle-aged residents looked older than their years.
The residents provided care to more than 1,000 patients.
Meeker said it was a lot of work, even exhausting, but certainly a unique and rewarding experience.
"At one point, we saw 60 women in three hours," Boucher added.
The two residents noted they treated a whole host of medical problems.
"We treated everything from high blood pressure to headaches,"
Meeker said. "There were a lot of pain complaints."
He noted that the Buddhist monks were in generally better health than the farmers and other residents, who likely had never seen a doctor.
Dehydration also is a problem as many of the people don't have access to clean water supplies. Overall, preventive medical issues were a big issue.
"We saw a lot of sports-related injuries," said Boucher, who noted that young monks there were on holiday and had played soccer.
It was the first trip overseas for Boucher, a native of Bangor, Maine, and a graduate of the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine.
"It was eye-opening," she said. "The sights and sounds were very different."
People lived pretty much in squalor in the refugee camps, she said.
The roads in the area are mostly dirt and many people are without access to modern transportation.
Both residents would love to either return or make a trip to another Third World nation to provide health care.
"Definitely, I would like to continue with it," Meeker said, while adding, "You do miss the comforts of home."
She said the group of health care professionals were treated well and provided with housing and food, although most avoided drinking the water.
The monks, nuns and villagers could not have been more thankful for the care they received.
"People would thank you and give you hugs," Meeker recalled. "The monks put on a ceremony for us at the end. They had a special dinner. The gave us gifts."
Boucher recalled with fondness the little girl she cared for who wanted to come home with her.
Meeker said he was impressed to see how dedicated the Buddhists are to their spiritual journey.
"It was a great experience. It was something new to me," he said.

Vol head man Cuonzo Martin sensed the game slipping away. So, despite three fouls, defensive specialist Josh Richardson was rushed back into the lineup with instructions to find a way to stop Sullivan.
"When Josh went (to the bench), Frankie got his head up and started making plays — attacking the rim, shooting the 3-ball," Martin said on his post-game show. "He did a really good job against us. Josh had three fouls but we had to roll with him in the second half. I knew his presence would bother Frankie."
Apparently so. With the 6-foot-6 Richardson putting the clamps on the 6-foot-1 Sullivan, Tennessee limited Auburn to one basket over the next five minutes — a drive by Sullivan — outscored the Tigers 14-2 during that stretch and went on to prevail 82-75.
Sullivan finished with a game-high 24 points but scored only two of those in the game's final 12 minutes.
The win, Tennessee's seventh in the last eight games, improves the Vols' record to 18-11 overall and 10-6 in SEC play, while preserving their hopes of earning a bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers, losers of eight games in a row and 14 of their past 15, slip to 9-21 overall and 3-14 in conference play.
Trae Golden and Jordan McRae scored 21 points each to lead the Vols offensively. Golden also contributed 6 assists and committed just 1 turnover in 36 minutes at the point, despite a quick tempo.
"We felt like we had great opportunities to score against these guys in transition — to push the ball, to push the pace, allow our shooters to spot up," Martin said. "Trae Golden did a great job of attacking the rim and making plays. We felt like that was an advantage for us. We don't want to have to set up our offense all the time, allow a team to get in a rhythm, get us into a zone offense and get us off-kilter."
McRae went just 5 of 16 from the field but drained 9 of 11 foul shots and combined with Golden to give Tennessee some easy buckets in transition.
"I thought those guys did a good job, especially on the offensive side of the ball," Martin said. "They kept getting us going in the second half — attacking the rim, making plays, finding shooters, getting to the free-throw line and taking it upon themselves to find a way to get us the win."
Tennessee shot a respectable 42.9 percent (24 of 56) from the field, 35.0 percent (7 of 20) from 3 and 71.1 percent (27 of 38) from the foul line. Discounting Jarnell Stokes' 1-of-10 effort from the free-throw stripe, the rest of the Vols were an amazing 26 of 28.
Stokes posted his 13th double-double of the season — 11 points, 12 rebounds — but watched most of the final 10 minutes as backup Kenny Hall finished the game. Hall went 3 for 3 from the field (all dunks), closing the evening with 8 points and 5 rebounds.
"I just felt like late in the game Kenny Hall gave us a better chance," Martin said. "Kenny played well on both ends of the floor."
The Vol defense took most of the night off, enabling an offensively challenged Auburn team to shoot 50.9 percent (28 of 55) from the field, 34.6 percent (9 of 26) from 3 and 83.3 percent (10 of 12) from the foul line. The Tigers committed 16 turnovers, however, including some critical ones down the stretch.
Tennessee hit its first three 3-point tries and led 14-5 with the game barely five minutes old. The Vols were up by seven (22-15) midway through the half, then dozed off. A 3-pointer and a drive by Sullivan sparked a 12-4 rally that gave the Tigers their first lead of the game at 27-26.
"Things came a little easy early in the first half, then we started rushing shots," Martin said. "We didn't have a flow to us, missed some free throws. Those guys (Tigers) got their heads up, and it became a ball game."
Sullivan scored seven of Auburn's first nine points of the second half, bumping a 35-32 intermission lead to 44-38 with 16:47 remaining. Tennessee's NCAA Tournament hopes at this point were flickering but an 8-0 spurt revived them. Golden opened the mini-run with a three-point play and two free throws, then McRae added a three-point play that put the Vols on top 46-44.
The game was nip-and-tuck until Rob Chubb's seven-foot hook shot gave Auburn a 60-59 lead with 9:31 remaining. That's when Tennessee finally took control of the game, thanks to its five-minute explosion.
Skylar McBee opened the rally with a 3-pointer and Golden added a breakaway as the Vols surged ahead 64-60. After a drive by Sullivan, Tennessee scored the next nine points. McRae hit a pair of free throws, then assisted Hall for a dunk. Hall added two free throws, then McRae closed the 14-2 outburst with a 3-pointer that gave Tennessee a 73-62 lead with 4:48 to play.
The Vols sank nine of 10 foul shots down the stretch to seal the deal.
"I thought we did a really good job in the second half of settling down, having a better pace to our game, moving the ball on offense, attacking the rim and not settling for 3-point shots," Martin said.
Tennessee closes the regular season with a 4 o'clock Saturday tipoff against Missouri at Thompson-Boling Arena.

Americans woke up Tuesday morning to witness a live news conference in Northern Ireland with British Prime Minister Tony Blair and U.S. President George W. Bush talking of events that may mark a turning point in the war that began March 19.
Bush said that although it remains unclear whether Saddam Hussein has been killed, the end of his tyrannical regime is clearly nearing its end.
"I don't know whether he survived," Bush said. "The only thing I know is that he's losing power."
During the night, a U.S. warplane dropped four bunker-busting bombs on a restaurant in an exclusive residential neighborhood where Saddam was believed to be meeting with his sons.
Blair said Saddam's regime is collapsing under the weight of allied attacks and that "the power of Saddam is ending."
Another issue the leaders addressed is the rebuilding of a post-war Iraq.
The President said he supports a United Nations role in the country, as well as the creation of an interim governing authority. He was not specific about such an authority, such as who would sit on it, nor on what role the U.N. would -- or should -- play.
Blair said, "There will be a vital role for the U.N. in the reconstruction of Iraq. But the key is that Iraq in the end will be run by the Iraqi people ... This was indeed a war of liberation and not conquest."
Bush, Blair: Saddam's Regime Falling

Smartphone Adoption Trends in 2012 (comScore): Smartphones accelerating among cost-conscious consumers
The rate at which smartphone adoption is growing can be attributed to the spread of 3G & 4G networks, innovations in device functionality & applications, and affordable pricing, according to comScore's 2012 Mobile Future in Focus report. The report expects that throughout 2012 the rate of adoption will accelerate "even faster" due to smartphones becoming more accessible in markets.
Smartphones are most popular amongst consumers, aged 25-34, in both the US and EU5 markets with penetration rates of 25.6% and 22%, respectively. A recent study from Nielsen found that among this age bracket, 43% of respondents who make less than $15,000 own a smartphone in the US. And among 18-24 year olds (who represent 17.2% of total smartphone users in the US), over half of the respondents who make less than $15,000 a year said they own a smartphone. And they aren't the only consumers on a budget to adopt smartphones.
In the US, the fasting growing segment among smartphone users is 6-person households who experienced 99% growth*. Other segments growing quickly include households making less than $25,000, retirees, and consumers in the 55-64 age group. These segments are significant in that they are segments of the population that are cost-conscious and can be classified as "late adopters," suggesting that the affordability of older smartphone models may be driving this growth.
These findings indicate that smartphones are seen as necessities rather than luxuries by an increasing number of consumers. With this mindset and other factors, the proliferation of smartphones will be prominent in 2012.
*Average calculated over a 3-month period ending December 2011

What ungroomed ladies and gentleman have going on in their pants. Pubic 'fro.

The year 2006 marks the 225th anniversary of Lessing's death. Born the son of a preacher, Lessing confronted and was confronted by religion throughout his life. This session for the 2006 MLA in Philadelphia (December 27-30) will focus on Lessing's life-long occupation with religion. Lessing concerned himself not only with his Christian milieu but also with Judaism and Islam. Anti-Semitism, religious tolerance and Lessing's polemical exchange with Pastor Goeze are familiar themes which could stand a fresh perspective. Yet papers might also deal with the use of religious symbolism in Lessing's writings, Lessing and Pietism, religious discussions in his letters to other thinkers of the day or even the notion of Lessing as a religious reformer.
Proposals should be 1-2 pages in length and should be sent by March 20, 2006 to: email@example.com or Dr. Lucinda Martin, Manteuffelstr. 48, 22587 Hamburg, Germany.
