Starting in the 2012-13 academic year, Prof. Tooker will be Chair of the Department. Office: Reilly 416 , 445-4484 E-mail for Dr. Tooker Jon Horne Carter, Ph.D. I am a sociocultural anthropologist (Ph.D. 2012, Columbia University) interested in criminality, aesthetics, and politics. My current research focuses on transnational gang communities, between the US and Central America, and their reinvention of political subjectivity through the deconstruction of everyday notions of law, beauty, and violence. This work on a particular criminal community is the foundation for broader inquiries into the shifting moral and political embodiments that accompany our current global-economic and environmental crises. Currently I am revising a book manuscript that examines the cultivation of criminal dream-worlds inside a national penitentiary in Honduras. A second book explores ethnographic surrealism in Latin America during the period of high modernism, and what that "minor" tradition can contribute to critical practices of ethnography in the present. Other areas of interest: Natural history, critical theory, urban anthropology, social movements, sovereignty, penology, secrecy, surveillance, and media studies.

Posted in Dr. Ying Competition
This was the first year in the history of the Dr. Ying Student Science Competition that there was a three-way tie for first place.
Gabrielle A. Gianelli, a junior at Orange County's Lake Highland Preparatory School; Nimish P. Ramanlal, a junior at Seminole County's Seminole High School; and Shiv Gaglani, a junior at Brevard County's West Shore Jr./Sr. High School, all took home $5,000 prizes. This also marked Shiv's second time as a top winner.
The winning projects included Gabrielle's mathematical analysis of Mars that could assist NASA with their search for signs of water on the Red Planet; Nimish's plan to improve high-powered quantum computers so they could better assist in the research and development of nanobots that could help cure a variety of diseases; and Shiv's experiments to increase the potency of adult stem cells, which could curb the controversy surrounding embryonic stem cell research.
Dr. Ying thought the exceptional quality of each project deserved top honors. This was the seventh year Dr. Ying and the Orlando Science Center partnered to recognize science talent. In 2010, the Dr. Nelson Ying Student Science Competition will mark its 12th year in collaboration with the Orlando Science Center, when it begins on April 23 and concludes with the awards ceremony on April 25.

I knew I'd get sucked back in. Lol. The machines were picking up all the votes, gore just didnt like the results. Gore wanted to do a manual recount so he could create more votes for him. That's why he wanted recounts in the three most heavily democratic counties. So he could see a card and try to make it a vote for him if there was just a dimple or mark over his name. Hence why the hanging chads and dimpled chads created so much controversy. There was no law in Florida regulating how a manual count should take place since the law stated it needed to be done by machine so gore tried to take advantage of that by dictating what constituted a vote.
Sandra day oconnor asked David boies, and rightfully so, to why not just use what the voting instructions are to dictate what constituted a vote. That being a fully punctured tab. Gore didn't want that to be the case since that's what the machines counted. Gore wanted democrats arbitrarily deciding in highly democratic counties what constituted a vote since no law was in place to dictate how manual counts are to be done.

There was no law in florida dictating how a manual count should be conducted. The voting instructions are to completely perforate a chad. The machines count those votes and by law a machine recount is done.
Ill tell you want would be unfair. A gore partisan, looking at someones vote card and arbitrarily deciding that a slight mark over al gores name meant that that person really meant to vote for al gore but didnt have the muscular strength to fully punch the card. And then after realizing that they didnt fully puncture the card to still turn it in as their vote thinking that the machince will still know its intents
Why did all these attacks happen/succeed while Gore was Vice President?
2/26/93 World Trade Center (6)
11/13/95 Saudi Arabia (5)
6/25/96 Khobar Tower barracks (19)
8/7/98 US embassy Tanzania (11)
8/7/98 US embassy Kenya (213)
10/12/00 USS Cole (17)
It's hard to imagine this guy being less incompetent than any other President.
This displays another difference between those on the left from those on the right; only one side tends to idolize their VP goofballs.

By David on 1/10/2013 David would recommend this product to a friend Bought this food after seeing all the "wow!" "awesome!" "best ever!" reviews. I can say that feeding tentacles do come out, but it's pretty much the same reaction that I get from any other food that I drop into the tank. That being said, there is a huge variety in this, and that alone is enough to warrant the purchase. Also, a little bit goes a loooooong way. Good stuff! Great Stuff! By Scott on 1/7/2013 Scott would recommend this product to a friend If my acans could do jumping jacks...they would for this stuff!! Every time I feed some chili it is amazing to watch everything in the tank get excited over feeding time. A little goes a long way and BRS doesn't leave any empty room in the jar!! Corals Love it By Tyler on 1/7/2013 Tyler would recommend this product to a friend I have used other products, but this one my corals love. My hammer coral reacts instantly to it. My hammer coral was starting to lose some of its color. So I started target feeding it with reef chili and the color is better then ever. Easy to use and I love the bottle it comes with to target feed. Great stuff!! Good polyp extention By Bill on 12/26/2012 Bill would recommend this product to a friend This is the first coral food I've tried, so I don't know how coral and fish react to other products. I do know like everyone else says, good polyp extension during feeding and a little goes a long way. Great value here! Great Coral and fish food By Craig on 12/25/2012 Craig would recommend this product to a friend I love this stuff! My corals and fish go crazy when I add this to the tank. Everything is growing so fast (especially mushrooms), I had to buy frag kit from you guys to control the growth! Happy Polyps By Bob on 12/5/2012 Bob would recommend this product to a friend Everything in my tank seems to love this! switched from another big brand of freeze-dried food and nobody was nearly as excited as when reef chili goes in! UNREAL FRENZY By Frank on 12/3/2012 Frank would recommend this product to a friend This product is awesome. Corals and Fish both love it. Even my Sun Coral that only comes out when light dims and at night sticks out the polyps at midday. Wow, really good product. I'm a believer. 1st Time By William on 11/29/2012 William would recommend this product to a friend Got this in today and done a batch target feeding. Everything came alive a lot more than normal. So far I am really liking what I am seeing with this even on the very first time out. Great Coral Food By Ibrahim on 11/26/2012 Ibrahim would recommend this product to a friend Been using this product for a couple of weeks and have noticed that my corals love this food. Would recommend this to everyone. Good Stuff By Greg on 11/18/2012 Greg would recommend this product to a friend This stuff is good, see some good polyp extension when feeding... Was shocked at how little it takes to feed, the spoon it comes with is tiny! Thats a good thing cuz this stuff will last a long time! Also i was shocked at how packed the jar was!! Most stuff you buy nowadays is not even close to being full... Cant wait to use this stuff longer and see the color and growth that others talk about! CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCES By Reef World on 11/18/2012 Reef World would recommend this product to a friend Reef Chili works. within a few time of feeding I notice the diffreneces in corals. I think they love this stuff. Zoas love it !!!!! By A. grandis on 11/8/2012 A. grandis would recommend this product to a friend Great response from my zoas!!!! Too early to tell if colors will change or if they will grow and reproduce faster, but I can see already how they like the food. The spoon that comes with it is great! I stopped all the pumps and target fed the polyps. All my different types of zoanthids embraced the food with their tentacles and swallowed it. Even the smallest Zoanthus spp.!!! Some of the polyps I didn't feed grabbed the particles that were floating around the tank after I turned the pumps back on. The skimmer acts kinda funny when you add the food. My skimmer worked harder at first and then went back to normal. Fishes tried to get the food from the polyps. I guess they know how good it must taste. I've heard so many people happy with ReefChili that I wanted to try myself. It's a very god quality food and just by the response I had from the zoas I can tell how nice is to have it around. Keep zoaing!!!! Grandis. Write Your Own Review You're reviewing: BRS Reef Chili Coral Food *How do you rate this product? *Would you recommend this product to a friend?

Romain Grosjean is confident Lotus have what it takes to fight for World titles in the future...
Romain Grosjean is confident Lotus have what it takes to fight for World titles in the future.
Although the Frenchman has yet to secure his maiden grand prix victory, he is already dreaming of a Drivers' Championship title.
Remaining with Lotus for a third season, Grosjean believes his day will come.
"The people who work here have won titles and know what it takes to get there," he told Brazil's Totalrace.
"I can feel it in the atmosphere at the team.
"I spend a lot of time with the staff because I live very close to the factory and go there any time I want.
"I really think we have very good guys that can make winning cars."
The 26-year-old, though, won't have a taste of his new 2014 challenger until later this month as Lotus have yet to set it up in the simulator.
"I hope to do this in late December," he said when asked when he would 'test' the new car.
Pressed as to why the delay, Grosjean explained: "It is because it is a new tool for us so we are currently working to make it as accurate as possible.
"We are using my experience to make the simulator as close to the current car.
"When we have the synchronicity between the behaviour of the car on the track and in the simulator we can then change focus to next year's car."

PERRY, Iowa—'Make yourself at home!" invites the rustic sign on the road into this smalltown 40 miles northwest of Des Moines that tells big truths about immigration.
Perry was a railroad town founded in 1869 by a prospector headed to the California gold rush. The trains last stopped here in 1980. The well-paid union jobs at the meatpacking plant are gone, too. When Iowa Beef Packers took over the closed Oscar Mayer factory in 1989, it began recruiting immigrant labor, a tradition that the current owner, Tyson Foods, continues. The influx has transformed Perry, population 8,882, into a place where one in three residents is Latino. Many don't speak English. Nearly half of the public schoolchildren and the majority of those eligible for free and discounted lunches are Hispanic.
Perry's demographic changes have created obvious culture clashes, but they have also staved off the postindustrial death that struck so many Midwestern communities. The historic downtown, stretching about seven blocks from the post office to the empty storefront where Lisa's Pub used to be, would be ghostly if not for the Mexican and Salvadoran restaurants and the Latino grocery store.
Here, as in other increasingly diverse parts of Iowa and of other traditionally white states, the national debate over immigration hits home. "I have some issues with illegal immigration," said 63-year-old Brian Parker, wearing a Iowa State fleece behind the counter of the flower store that his dad opened in 1951. "On the other hand, if you put yourself in their shoes, things must be pretty dire for them to support themselves. They have a perilous journey. I just wish we had a way to legalize more people coming into this country, because it's important that they become part of our society."
A few blocks south, lifelong Perry resident Bill Coffin, 65, owns Shoppe of Oddities, a store stocked with junk or treasure, depending on your perspective. The sign on the door advertises "cold canned pop for 50 cents." Coffin keeps his jeans up with bright green suspenders and offers a visitor a chair. "A lot of these people will work for anything," he says, "which makes less of a marketplace for people who are citizens."
It's the sleeper issue of the 2012 election. Again and again, debate over illegal immigration has punctuated a campaign billed as a referendum on the economy. Acting like candidates for president of their local Minuteman chapter, the contenders for the GOP nomination have been competing to out-vigilante each other, rousing some ardent conservatives. But drill down into the polling, spend an afternoon in Perry, or consider Newt Gingrich's surge in the polls even after he proposed an immigration policy that rivals tarred as "amnesty," and it becomes clear that Republican voters' views are more nuanced. What's more, hard-line rhetoric in recent elections has alienated Latino voters at a time when their power to swing elections is only growing.
Antithetical to its past and potentially poisonous to its future, the GOP's militant line risks long-term self-sabotage. "That rhetoric comes across as more than anti-illegal-immigration. It's perceived as anti-immigration, which in turn is perceived by Hispanic voters as anti-Hispanic," said Ed Gillespie, a former Republican National Committee chairman. "When you're getting a shrinking percentage of the fastest-growing share of the electorate, you don't have to be a math major to figure out that's not good, long-term, for the party."
"For the most part, we are a city that very success-fully blends our cultures."—Perry's mayor, Jay Pattee
So why the hard line? For starters, previously homogeneous areas of the country are becoming more racially diverse at a time of deep anxiety about the economy. According to the 2010 census, Hispanics constitute more than 16 percent of the population, up from 12.5 percent in 2000 and 9 percent in 1990. For some recession-weary voters, angst over "foreigners" taking "American jobs" and sapping taxpayer-funded services stems from fears about their own financial future. "When the economy is booming and the economy nears levels of full employment, the intensity of the issue abates," said Republican strategist Steve Schmidt, who ran John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign. "In a bad economy, the issue intensifies. And you've always had that dynamic, whether it be with Italians or Irish and now largely with Mexicans or Central Americans."
In addition, opposition to immigration reflects the Republican Party's rightward lurch since President Obama's 2008 victory and the rise of the tea party. The conservative activists driving the GOP agenda have a zero-tolerance policy, whether the issue is debt, taxes, or climate change. When it comes to illegal immigration, any response less than a full-throated declaration to seal the border is considered heresy. This is not the same party that produced Ronald Reagan, who granted amnesty to roughly 3 million illegal immigrants; twice elected George W. Bush, who urged Congress to give undocumented workers a legal route to citizenship; and nominated McCain, who cowrote similar legislation with liberal icon Edward Kennedy.

K-12 garden and farm education
Welcome to the School Gardening Program at the Student Farm! This program, formerly known as the Children's Garden Program, began more than 20 years ago as a small student-initiated project and since then has evolved into a flourishing environmental education resource popular with teachers and students. We serve elementary students and older youth through experiential field trips to our site, and we work with teachers, parent volunteers, and the general public through hands-on workshops and resource development.
School gardening program
Workshops for educators
We offer workshops for both professional and nonprofessional educators, including parent volunteers, administrators, Cooperative Extension personnel and others. In the workshops, we provide hands-on training and resources for establishing successful school gardens, using garden environments for effective teaching, enhancing the connections between gardens and good nutrition, and reinforcing the role of agriculture in our food system.
Over the years, we have developed a variety of resources, educational training materials and activities for school gardens. In addition, we maintain a library of garden-based education and teaching materials, children's literature and gardening information. The library is available to UC Davis students and the public.
Garden and Farm Field Trips
Each spring, school children visit the Kids in the Garden program at the Ecological Garden. Here they experience garden and farm ecology first-hand through harvesting crops and tasting fresh produce, feeding chickens and examining compost worms, and exploring nature. Older students can become more actively involved in agricultural production by helping to plant or harvest at the Student Farm.
Internships for UC Davis students
UC Davis students can earn credit as Kids in the Garden Tour Leaders through an internship program that is both fun and educational.
Tours for youth at the farm
We provide a limited number of field trips throughout the year for junior high and high school ages. These generally focus on food systems concepts, farm ecology, and related topics in agriculture. These are arranged and led by UC Davis students, graduate students or staff. We take requests for these field trips on an ongoing basis and fill them as possible dependent upon timing and availability. For more information or to request a tour, contact Carol Hillhouse.
For more information, view our Contact Information page.

Engineer Intern Certification Brochure [pdf]
If you are considering pursuing a career in the engineering profession, one of the first decisions you will make will be in reference to your education. Education lays the foundation for developing the skills and knowledge to not only practice a profession, but also to protect the public's health, safety and welfare.
Engineer Intern certification is the first step on the path to professional engineering registration. The educational requirements for engineer intern certification in the State of Tennessee are either an undergraduate degree in engineering that has been accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), or an undergraduate degree in engineering that has been determined to be substantially equivalent to an EAC/ABET-accredited degree.
Accreditation is a voluntary, non-governmental process of peer review. It requires an educational institution or program to meet certain defined standards or criteria and serves to notify parents and prospective students that a particular engineering program has met minimum educational standards for its graduates to enter professional practice.
For a list of Tennessee higher education institutions with EAC/ABET-accredited engineering programs, see the Valuable Resources and Links page.

So the fog distance in Minecraft 1.8 seems to be significantly closer than previous versions. I have the view distance set to maximum. Is there any way to extend the fog distance back to the old values?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Arqade is a question and answer site for passionate videogamers on all platforms. It's 100% free, no registration required.
As of 1.8, the fog distance dynamically changes based on elevation. When you're deep underground, the fog distance decreases, so even if it's set to "Far", you're still likely to see fog when exploring caves or walking through a long tunnel underground.

A Baltimore biotech reported that its experimental HIV vaccine showed promising results in a phase 1 clinical study.
Profectus BioSciences tested its vaccine on 60 adults in Philadelphia, San Francisco, Nashville, Tenn., and Decatur, Ga., who were not infected by the virus that causes AIDS. It was safe at all dose levels and immunogenic — as it was in studies involving macaques.
"The demonstration that our ... vaccine delivery platform is safe and immunogenic in healthy adult volunteers is a milestone that allows Profectus to advance not only its HIV vaccine program, but also vaccines for multiple infectious disease indications," John Eldridge, the 9-year-old company's chief scientific officer, said in a statement. "The response rate observed in this clinical trial is absolutely consistent with our data in non-human primates."
The vaccine is based on the recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus vector. The RNA virus, which can infect both insects and mammals, is used in laboratories as a gene delivery vector without the potential for integration, which makes it safer for vaccine applications, according to company information. The recombinant version used in the trial can replicate in human cells, but has been weakened so it won't cause illness.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease is supporting Profectus' vaccine development with a $22.5 million contract.
In other Maryland bioscience industry news:
Sucampo Pharmaceuticals has gotten the regulatory go-ahead to remove the warnings and precautions for pregnant and nursing women from the labels of its constipation drug, Amitiza.
The Bethesda company's product already received marketing approval from the Food and Drug Administration for treating chronic idiopathic constipation in adults and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation in women 18 and older.
"We believe these changes will enable physicians and women of child-bearing age who are suffering from [constipation] to better evaluate the risk-benefit profile of Amitiza," CEO Ryuji Ueno said in a statement.
Sucampo also reported that the FDA postponed the goal date for its review of the company's application to market the drug for treating opioid-induced constipation in patients with chronic, non-cancer pain. Because new submitted information was deemed a major amendment to the application, that date has been pushed back three months, to late April. The FDA did not seek any new clinical trials or studies.
An experimental nanoparticle vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus developed by Novavax was safe and effective in a preclinical trial on animals. Results from the study were published online in the journal Plos One.
The data demonstrated the candidate's potential "to elicit the level and type of immunity required to protect humans as measured by virus neutralization activity," Gale Smith, vice president of vaccine development with the Rockville biotech, said in a statement.
Severe respiratory syncytial virus infections are the leading cause of infant hospitalization in the U.S., and globally there are 64 million cases and 160,000 deaths annually, according to Novavax. The infection also is especially dangerous among older populations, and there is no approved prophylactic vaccine.
"We have completed a phase 1 trial and recently initiated two separate dose-ranging clinical trials of the ... nanoparticle vaccine candidate in the elderly (phase 1) and in women of child-bearing age (phase 2)," Gregory Glenn, chief scientific officer, said in the statement. "These preclinical observations are consistent with the promising safety and immunogenicity seen in our clinical trials reported to date and suggest that this vaccine should continue to be developed."
The study report is online at plosone.org.
Cytomedix, with funding from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, will conduct a phase 2 clinical study of its treatment for an ailment called intermittent claudication. It's caused by peripheral arterial disease, which results in reduced flow of blood and oxygen to leg muscles. About 8 million to 10 million Americans have the disease, with many of them having intermittent claudifcation, which causes lower-leg pain when the patient is moving, according to company information.
The study will involve 80 patients, with some receiving a placebo and others receiving injections of stem cells isolated from their bone marrow using the Gaithersburg biotech's Bright Cell technology. Enrollment is expected to begin in the first quarter of next year.
"Our February acquisition of Aldagen and the Bright Cell technology has positioned us well to play a leading role in investigating promising clinical paths in regenerative medicine where there exists significant unmet medical need," CEO Martin P. Rosendale said in a statement. "Intermittent claudication is a serious consequence of arteriosclerosis which, if left untreated, will likely progress to pain at rest and possibly open wounds."
Supernus Pharmaceuticals, which went public this year and later won FDA approval for its anti-epilepsy treatment, announced the pricing of its public offering of six million shares: $8 a share.
The Rockville company also is developing drugs to treat impulsive aggression in people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Rexahn Pharmaceuticals closed on its previously announced public offering, grossing $6.6 million, including a partial exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter.
The Rockville biotech focuses on developing treatments for cancer and central nervous system disorders.
EntreMed, another Rockville biotech that develops cancer treatments, announced the publication of preclinical results of its compound for multiple sclerosis.
The report on 2-methoxyestradiol was published online in this week's Early Edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study was conducted at the Campbell Family Institute for Breast Cancer Research at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto.
"In this study, we demonstrated that 2ME2 ... significantly inhibits lymphocyte activation and proliferation and dramatically suppresses development of experimental MS," Tak W. Mak, director of the institute and leader of the study, said in a statement.
The compound "represents another important asset for our company with its strong [intellectual property] position and sound safety profile," EntreMed CEO Ken Ren said in the statement. "For the next step, we intend to further advance 2ME2 development as part of our global drug development plan and strategy to leverage resources both in the U.S. and China. We are currently exploring multiple strategies for the development of 2ME2 including possible partnership opportunities. We believe that the development of 2ME2 for autoimmune diseases fits well with our plan to build a robust product pipeline and to add value for our long term shareholders."

What's in a name? This word cloud illustrates the 28 most popular boy and girl names for babies born at Brigeport Hospital last year - with Sophia and Jayden leading the pack. (The more popular the name, the bigger the type.) Sophia was also topes for girls nationally , with Jacob as the #1 pick for boys.
It seemed like everywhere she looked, she saw babies: in the grocery store, in church, in the movie theater at the playground, at her son's school. Many of her friends were either holding infants or were pregnant with their second or third baby. But not Ann. Ann and her husband had been trying for months to have a baby brother or sister for their son.
"I always imagined myself with more than one child," says Ann, who is one of seven siblings. "My son was conceived easily, without a struggle, but when we were ready to expand our family, we started having difficulties. It was heartbreaking." Every time she saw a baby, she got a lump in her throat. "It is so hard to want something so much and not get to have it."
Another year went by, and Ann was still not pregnant. "I started to wonder, 'Will this go on forever?' I worried and stressed all the time. I was so focused on having a baby, all my energy went to thinking about getting pregnant."
Discouraged, Ann spoke with her OB/GYN Marina Torbey, MD, about what to do.
"When my patients are concerned," Dr. Torbey says, "I start out with good news to put their minds at ease: without any fertility intervention, nearly 80 percent of couples will conceive spontaneously within one year, and 90 percent will conceive in two years. Then I reassure them that if they wish to explore fertility treatments, there are many advances and options to choose from. More often than not, by the end of our conversation, they're relieved."
Ann and her husband underwent a spectrum of tests and medications, but after several months, she was still not pregnant. "It seemed to take forever to get to the reason why we weren't conceiving," Ann remembers. "We were frustrated and tired. I knew in my heart we were meant to have more children, but the emotional toll we were under was wearing us both down." After another year with no success, they contacted Reproductive Endocrinologist Shaun Williams, MD.
"Dr. Williams was so understanding about our feelings and was willing to help us," Ann says. "We knew we were in good hands."
"There are many reasons why couples have trouble conceiving," says Dr. Williams. "There may be an undiagnosed health issue or blocked fallopian tubes or an ovulation disorder."
A few years prior to seeing Dr. Williams, Ann had an ectopic pregnancy (when the egg implants in the fallopian tube, instead of the uterus).The trauma left one fallopian tube damaged, making it difficult for an egg to be fertilized or for an embryo to travel to the uterus. Dr. Williams also found that Ann had 10 fibroids in and around her uterus.
"Fibroids are benign (non-cancerous) tumors that can grow inside the uterus or on the outside of the uterus," Dr. Williams explains. "They are common among women in their 30s and 40s. The first sign of uterine fibroids is usually heavy bleeding during menstrual cycles. When fibroids grow on the outside of the uterus, they can also cause pain and pressure. When they affect the inside of the uterus, fibroids can block the fallopian tubes, distort the uterine cavity and affect how embryos grow within the uterus, thereby preventing pregnancy."
"When he told me I had fibroids, I wasn't surprised, since they run in my family," Ann says. "I had many of the symptoms for a while—heavy cycles, pain. I just didn't want to deal with it until I had to."
Dr. Williams recommended myomectomy. Myomecotmy is a surgical procedure that removes the fibroids and leaves the uterus intact. At Bridgeport Hospital, myomectomy is performed with the da Vinci® "S" robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery system, laparoscopically (minimally invasive small incision) or traditionally through an open incision. Due to the quantity of fibroids that needed to be removed, traditional surgery (abdominal incision) was the better option for Ann.
"For women who wish to become pregnant, myomectomy is a way for the uterus to return to a normal state," Dr. Williams says. "It is not likely to be corrected in a way other than surgery."
The day of the surgery, Ann met the Bridgeport Hospital anesthesia team of a nurse anesthetist and anesthesiologist Pamela Gray, MD. The team would administer the anesthesia for the myomectomy and continuously monitor her oxygen levels, blood pressure, brain waves, fluid balance and other important factors during the procedure.
After a successful surgery and recovery, Ann was back at home two days later. "I love Bridgeport Hospital," Ann says. "The staff is so nice and I always feel taken care of!"
A few weeks after surgery to remove the fibroids, Ann began fertility treatments. Two months later, she started the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process—which meant giving herself hormone injections every day to stimulate her ovaries and trigger ovulation. "It was difficult and painful, but I so wanted to have another baby," she says. "It was worth it."
Finally, it was time to get pregnant. Dr. Williams surgically retrieved Ann's eggs and used her husband's sperm to fertilize them. Less than a week later, Dr. Williams transferred them to Ann's uterus. "We were so excited and hopeful and ready for anything!" Ann remembers.
"The chances of having a healthy baby using IVF depend on many factors, such as a woman's age, her health history and the cause of infertility. IVF works best when a woman has a healthy uterus, responds well to fertility medication and when the man has healthy sperm," says Dr. Williams, who has helped hundreds of couples conceive. "Ann and her husband were good candidates for the procedure and were prepared for any outcome—even multiples."
Soon after the transfer and implantation, Ann knew she was pregnant: nausea ("morning sickness") hit her hard. "I was so sick! Anything that touched my tongue came back up," she recalls. "I kept positive by thanking God for the pregnancy." Ultrasounds revealed she was expecting twins. Her doctors reassured her that the nausea was a good sign: the babies were healthy.
At 36 weeks, just one month before her due date, and more than 10 years after the birth of her son, Ann's dream of having more children finally came true. With OB/GYN Julie Laifer, MD, and Chief of Obstetric Anesthesiology Dennis Buonafede, MD, she delivered two healthy baby boys in The Birthplace at Bridgeport Hospital: one weighing 4 lbs., 14 oz., and the other, 5 lbs., 3 oz. "When they were born, my husband and I were laughing and crying at the same time; we were so happy and grateful for such beautiful healthy babies!" remembers Ann. According to Dr. Buonafede, "The birth of twins is typically a very happy occasion, and we love our role in keeping moms comfortable and safe." Because the babies were born so close to their due date, their lungs were strong enough not to need the expert services of the Newborn Intensive Care Unit. They went home with Ann a few days later.
Today, the twins are two years old. "I love watching them play together and talk together," Ann says. "They seem to have their own twin language. We can't understand what they say to each other—it sounds like gibberish to us—but they seem to get it!"
Ann and her husband take nothing for granted. "My older son adores having two baby brothers, and it is a thrill to know they will grow up together," Ann continues, "During the years of struggle, I knew in my heart I would always have more children. With patience, prayer, persistence, and the right specialists, we did it. We are so blessed!"

From 2008 through 2010, when the auto industry was under heavy scrutiny and in the throes of near-collapse, the easy thing to do, according to Rod Alberts, the executive director of both the Detroit Auto Dealers Association (DADA) and DADA's annual North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), would have been to pump the brakes.
Instead, NAIAS hit the gas. When manufacturers pulled out and there was empty space to fill, show organizers created a new showcase dedicated to the growing trend of electric-vehicle technology. To keep high-end manufacturers from leaving in droves, they created The Gallery — a VIP, invitation-only event at the MGM Grand Detroit that let customers get up close with the world's most luxurious cars. And in the middle of all that, Cobo Center — where NAIAS has called home since it began 25 years ago — came under the new management of the Detroit Regional Convention Facility Authority and SMG.
It was another challenge. And another opportunity.
NAIAS isn't just your typical show. It's actually five events in one, held over a 14-day period — including an industry preview, a media preview, a single-night Charity Preview, public days, and The Gallery event. The press preview takes place first, with more than 5,000 journalists from 58 countries attending this year, followed by the industry preview, when 23,000 automotive professionals from 2,000 companies file in over the course of two days to see the industry's latest and greatest. The Charity Preview, held the evening before the public show begins, is the largest single-night fundraiser in the world, and has raised more than $87 million for southeastern Michigan children's charities since it began in 1976. The public show lasts nine days, drawing nearly 800,000 people to view the 500 vehicles on display by nearly every major automobile manufacturer in the world.
The Gallery is the newest addition to the lineup, and has been successful not just because it was born out of necessity, but because it's had staying power beyond the economic downturn. Charging guests $500 a ticket and capping attendance at just 500, The Gallery gives its well-qualified customers an exclusive preview of the world's uber-luxury automakers" along with a dinner catered by Wolfgang Puck and a fashion show.
"Our thought was, to keep those kind of cars in our show, let's have a special, off-site event, spend money on it even though we don't have sponsors, hold it at a high-end hotel, invite American Express Black Card members, and bring the customer to the brand and the manufacturer," Alberts said. "The beauty of [the idea is] that you start partnering with more people and you create a dimension in your show that no one else has. This was done during our downturn, because we didn't want to lose the Lamborghinis and Ferraris from our show, and this was a way of keeping them involved, and when things get better, they're back in your other show, too, so now you have them in two shows."
Another challenge during the downturn: When manufacturers dropped out and swaths of the show floor were left vacant, Alberts and his team had to think on their feet and get creative about what to do with the empty space. Recognizing the growing trend of electric cars, in 2010 NAIAS launched a new attraction — the 37,000-squarefoot Electric Avenue. The showcase not only spotlighted the growing trend of electric vehicles and related technology, it featured a landscaped ride-and-drive track where visitors could test out vehicles in a unique, conversation-starting green space.
"The key was not to just put up cones and [let visitors] drive around them," Alberts said. "We put in an entire 80,000-square-foot landscape with trees, mulch, and grass, and we actually tricked the foliage and flowers to bloom in January by putting them in a warm environment."
Electric Avenue not only helped fill space and avoid the perception of an empty show floor, but also became a talking point for the media and public. "It's not about just bringing the cars," Alberts said, "it's about offering something that everyone can go home and talk about, whether it's media or suppliers or anyone else in the industry."
Both projects required large investments — creatively and financially. And launching them during a downturn was far from a sure thing. "If you're going to do something, you have to go all out," Alberts said. "If you want to stay ahead of the game, you have to be willing to step out there and make those calculated risks to bring it all together. Even though we've had the turnaround, those two elements are still part of the show. It was needed anyway, but the key is, it was prompted by the downturn."
'Everything Has Come Back'
At the same time, the show's venue, Cobo Center, was also going through big changes of its own, which became another key element to the show's recovery. In October 2010, SMG and Centerplate took over management of the facility's operations; the year before, the center completed the first part of a three-phase, $300-million renovation and expansion that's due for completion in 2015.
The project is seeking to drastically change Cobo's size, scope, and perception. Some of those changes were already visible at NAIAS 2013, held on Jan. 14–27, which Convene attended as a guest of the Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau. One of the biggest centerpieces of the expansion — a dramatic staircase entrance that opens onto a 30,000-square-foot, riverfront atrium space — opened early for NAIAS 2013 to host a concert by Uncle Kracker at the Charity Preview event.
"I knew that there would be better times," said Alberts. "The economy had to turn, we had new, better decisions being made in Cobo Center, and as long as we did what we had to do for the part that we controlled and managed, which is creating a great show, we knew we'd have a good home for it and we knew we had good management in the building to help guide what we were doing."
The risks were worth it. This year's Charity Preview event nearly sold out, with more than 13,000 guests in attendance and $4 million in proceeds raised. That's a 30-percent increase from 2012 and an even bigger increase compared to four years ago, when the event raised $1.5 million. Overall, NAIAS 2013 did just as well — in total, 795,416 people attended, the show's best numbers in eight years. "Everything has come back," Alberts said, "but it's better than it would have been because we invested during the downturn."
Looking down the road, Alberts is interested in making NAIAS one of the most forward-thinking shows in the industry. Specifically, DADA leadership has begun talking with Chinese auto manufacturers about partnerships — a first for a North American auto show, Alberts said. And for the first time at this year's show, NAIAS and the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, which organizes the Beijing International Automobile Exhibition, hosted the Chinese Global Automotive Forum.
"I think we have to realize what an [important] market that is and embrace that," Alberts said. "We are a worldwide, international event, and we want to have them involved, because it's about displaying the latest product technology and cars from a worldwide industry.".
The move-in and move-out of a show is always a cumbersome, time-consuming phase, but for NAIAS, it's practically
