...kind of unconventional thinking that has turned greater Nagoya (pop. 7.2 million) into Japan's most vibrant region. While the rest of the country wheezes in and out of the economic recovery room, Aichi prefecture has become Japan's most reliable and energetic commercial engine. Specializing in high-value, high-tech manufacturing, Aichi has posted one of the top economic growth rates in the nation in recent years. It boasts one of the lowest unemployment rates, the second highest household income, and the fastest rising property values-and that economic muscle is pumping a boom in construction, retailing, fashion...

Hansen has since sold his stake in Fetal Fotos, but the business is booming with a dozen outlets across the country and a host of imitators with...
...people, especially of strong religious faiths, believe that the administration of artificial nutrition and hydration is somehow different from the administration of other medical treatments. But look at it this way. Schiavo’s body can no longer function, and the tube inserted into her stomach is one high-tech method of picking up where her body has failed. This administration of artificial nutrition and hydration is just like using a ventilator to take over when a person cannot breathe on his or her own.
