...track the trend in searches on topics such as "breast augmentation," "breast implants" or even "plastic surgery," there has been a precipitous decline in all plastic surgery topics over the last year. What's fueling this downturn? It may very well be related to the predominant income group of visitors to cosmetic surgery sites - U.S. households that earn less than $30,000 per year. In fact, if we look at the search patterns around popular surgeries, over the last year the term "cost" is the most commonly appearing qualifier.

Individuals like Dr. Sen have a global network of support, including Noam Chomsky, Amartya Sen and Paul Farmer, and yet his incarceration continues. Global demonstrations on May 13 and 14, including one in Harvard Square, will not only mark one year of Dr. Sen?...

Some 40,000 children worldwide annually emigrate from more than 100 countries through adoption, a trend increasing rapidly in the U.S. since the 1970s. But these foreign adoptees are far more likely to internalize their problems, suffering more commonly from depression or separation anxiety disorders.
