serving in Iraq, Spero Lucas has become one of the go-to guys in Washington for recovering stolen property. As he navigates both the shiny and the seamy sides of town (D.C. is as brilliantly drawn as the characters), he takes on a case involving drugs that may put a young boy, and even his own family, at risk. Pelecanos doesn’t win raves just for his ﬁction; he’s also an A-list TV writer, with shows like The Wire on his résumé.

The Dream Lives On

THIS IS THE DAY TO ...

t’s been 25 years in the making, but the Martin Luther egf King Jr. National Memorial in Washington, D.C., is finally set to be dedicated today, the 48th anniversary of King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Jamie Foxx will be among those on

hand to celebrate. The site features a 30-foot-tall statue of King—the ﬁrst AfricanAmerican to be honored with his own memorial on the National Mall—and a wall of his quotations etched in granite. It might never have been completed were it not for King’s Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity brothers, who raised almost

$3.5 million toward the $120 million project. “I was told not to ride in the front of the bus; I couldn’t drink out of certain water fountains,” says William H. Gray III, 70, a retired minister and U.S. congressman who knew King. “Martin helped change all that. And he did it peacefully. I can’t think of a better man to honor.” Still, for a while funds only trickled in, and the project faced a number of controversies,

including the King family’s request for a licensing fee of a reported $761,000. But perseverance paid off. Among those expected at the opening is 11-yearold Amanda Barry from Levittown, Pa., a ﬁnalist in a nationwide school essay contest to remember the civil rights leader. “What each of us can learn from Martin Luther King is to never give up,” she says. —Lynn Schnurnberger

GHOST ON THE CANVAS from Glen Campbell ($14) Diagnosed with earlystage Alzheimer’s eight months ago, Campbell shows no signs of wear and tear on his latest—and, he says, ﬁnal—album. Backed by Chris Isaak, Billy Corgan, and others, he sounds as soulful and steady-handed as ever, particularly on the poignant “A Better Place” and the lushly orchestrated “There’s No Me … Without You.” A beautiful, bittersweet swan song from a legend.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SYMBICORT Important Safety Information About SYMBICORT for Asthma SYMBICORT contains formoterol, a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA). LABA medicines such as formoterol increase the risk of death from asthma problems. It is not known whether budesonide, the other medicine in SYMBICORT, reduces the risk of death from asthma problems seen with formoterol. SYMBICORT should be used only if your health care provider decides that your asthma is not well controlled with a long-term asthma control medicine, such as an inhaled corticosteroid, or that your asthma is severe enough to begin treatment with SYMBICORT. If you are taking SYMBICORT, see your health care provider if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. It is important that your health care provider assess your asthma control on a regular basis. Your doctor will decide if it is possible for you to stop taking SYMBICORT and start taking a long-term asthma control medicine without loss of asthma control. Children and adolescents who take LABA medicines may have an increased risk of being hospitalized for asthma problems. SYMBICORT does not replace rescue inhalers for sudden asthma symptoms. Be sure to tell your health care provider about all your health conditions, including heart conditions or high blood pressure, and all medicines you may be taking. Some patients taking SYMBICORT may experience increased blood pressure, heart rate, or change in heart rhythm. Do not use SYMBICORT more often than prescribed. While taking SYMBICORT, never use another medicine containing a LABA for any reason. Ask your health care provider or pharmacist if any of your other medicines are LABA medicines, as using too much LABA may cause chest pain, increase in blood pressure, fast and irregular heartbeat, headache, tremor, and nervousness.

Patients taking SYMBICORT should call their health care provider or get emergency medical care: • if you experience serious allergic reactions including rash, hives, swelling of the face, mouth and tongue, and breathing problems. • if you think you are exposed to infections such as chicken pox or measles, or if you have any signs of infection. You may have a higher chance of infection. • if you experience an increase in wheezing right after taking SYMBICORT, eye problems including glaucoma and cataracts, decreases in bone mineral density, swelling of blood vessels (signs include a feeling of pins and needles or numbness of arms or legs, ﬂu like symptoms, rash, pain, and swelling of the sinuses), decrease in blood potassium and increase in blood sugar levels. If you are switching to SYMBICORT from an oral corticosteroid, follow your health care provider’s instructions to avoid serious health risks when you stop using oral corticosteroids. Common side effects include nose and throat irritation, headache, upper respiratory tract infection, sore throat, sinusitis, stomach discomfort, ﬂu, back pain, nasal congestion, vomiting, and thrush in the mouth and throat. Approved Uses for SYMBICORT for Asthma SYMBICORT is a medicine for the treatment of asthma for people 12 years and older whose doctor has determined that their asthma is not well controlled with a long term asthma control medicine such as an inhaled corticosteroid or whose asthma is severe enough to begin treatment with SYMBICORT.

I M P O RTA N T I N F O R M AT I O N A B O U T S Y M B I C O RT Please read this summary carefully and then ask your doctor about SYMBICORT. No advertisement can provide all the information needed to determine if a drug is right for you or take the place of careful discussions with your health care provider. Only your health care provider has the training to weigh the risks and beneﬁts of a prescription drug.

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SYMBICORT? People with asthma who take long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) medicines, such as formoterol (one of the medicines in SYMBICORT), have an increased risk of death from asthma problems. It is not known whether budesonide, the other medicine in SYMBICORT, reduces the risk of death from asthma problems seen with formoterol. SYMBICORT should be used only if your health care provider decides that your asthma is not well controlled with a longterm asthma control medicine, such as an inhaled corticosteroid, or that your asthma is severe enough to begin treatment with SYMBICORT. Talk with your health care provider about this risk and the beneﬁts of treating your asthma with SYMBICORT. If you are taking SYMBICORT, see your health care provider if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. It is important that your health care provider assess your asthma control on a regular basis. Your doctor will decide if it is possible for you to stop taking SYMBICORT and start taking a long-term asthma control medicine without loss of asthma control. Get emergency medical care if: ■ breathing problems worsen quickly, and ■ you use your rescue inhaler medicine, but it does not relieve your breathing problems. Children and adolescents who take LABA medicines may be at increased risk of being hospitalized for asthma problems.

WHAT IS SYMBICORT? SYMBICORT is an inhaled prescription medicine used for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains two medicines:

■

Budesonide (the same medicine found in Pulmicort Flexhaler™, an inhaled corticosteroid). Inhaled corticosteroids help to decrease inﬂammation in the lungs. Inﬂammation in the lungs can lead to asthma symptoms ■ Formoterol (the same medicine found in Foradil® Aerolizer®). LABA medicines are used in patients with COPD and asthma to help the muscles in the airways of your lungs stay relaxed to prevent asthma symptoms, such as wheezing and shortness of breath. These symptoms can happen when the muscles in the airways tighten. This makes it hard to breathe, which, in severe cases, can cause breathing to stop completely if not treated right away SYMBICORT is used for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as follows: Asthma SYMBICORT is used to control symptoms of asthma and prevent symptoms such as wheezing in adults and children ages 12 and older. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD is a chronic lung disease that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. SYMBICORT 160/4.5 mcg is used long-term, two times each day, to help improve lung function for better breathing in adults with COPD.

WHO SHOULD NOT USE SYMBICORT? Do not use SYMBICORT to treat sudden severe symptoms of asthma or COPD or if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in SYMBICORT.

WHAT SHOULD I TELL MY HEALTH CARE PROVIDER BEFORE USING SYMBICORT? Tell your health care provider about all of your health conditions, including if you: ■ have heart problems ■ have high blood pressure ■ have seizures ■ have thyroid problems ■ have diabetes ■ have liver problems ■ have osteoporosis ■ have an immune system problem ■ have eye problems such as increased pressure in the eye, glaucoma, or cataracts ■ are allergic to any medicines ■ are exposed to chicken pox or measles ■ are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. It is not known if SYMBICORT may harm your unborn baby

are breast-feeding. Budesonide, one of the active ingredients in SYMBICORT, passes into breast milk. You and your health care provider should decide if you will take SYMBICORT while breast-feeding Tell your health care provider about all the medicines you take including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. SYMBICORT and certain other medicines may interact with each other and can cause serious side effects. Know all the medicines you take. Keep a list and show it to your health care provider and pharmacist each time you get a new medicine.

HOW DO I USE SYMBICORT? Do not use SYMBICORT unless your health care provider has taught you and you understand everything. Ask your health care provider or pharmacist if you have any questions. Use SYMBICORT exactly as prescribed. Do not use SYMBICORT more often than prescribed. SYMBICORT comes in two strengths for asthma: 80/4.5 mcg and 160/4.5 mcg. Your health care provider will prescribe the strength that is best for you. SYMBICORT 160/4.5 mcg is the approved dosage for COPD. ■ SYMBICORT should be taken every day as 2 puffs in the morning and 2 puffs in the evening. ■ Rinse your mouth with water and spit the water out after each dose (2 puffs) of SYMBICORT. This will help lessen the chance of getting a fungus infection (thrush) in the mouth and throat. ■ Do not spray SYMBICORT in your eyes. If you accidentally get SYMBICORT in your eyes, rinse your eyes with water. If redness or irritation persists, call your health care provider. ■ Do not change or stop any medicines used to control or treat your breathing problems. Your health care provider will change your medicines as needed. ■ While you are using SYMBICORT 2 times each day, do not use other medicines that contain a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) for any reason. Ask your health care provider or pharmacist if any of your other medicines are LABA medicines. ■ SYMBICORT does not relieve sudden symptoms. Always have a rescue inhaler medicine with you to treat sudden symptoms. If you do not have a rescue inhaler, call your health care provider to have one prescribed for you.

Call your health care provider or get medical care right away if: ■ your breathing problems worsen with SYMBICORT ■ you need to use your rescue inhaler medicine more often than usual ■ your rescue inhaler does not work as well for you at relieving symptoms ■ you need to use 4 or more inhalations of your rescue inhaler medicine for 2 or more days in a row ■ you use one whole canister of your rescue inhaler medicine in 8 weeks’ time ■ your peak ﬂow meter results decrease. Your health care provider will tell you the numbers that are right for you ■ your symptoms do not improve after using SYMBICORT regularly for 1 week

WHAT MEDICATIONS SHOULD I NOT TAKE WHEN USING SYMBICORT? While you are using SYMBICORT, do not use other medicines that contain a long-acting beta2agonist (LABA) for any reason, such as ■ Serevent® Diskus® (salmeterol xinafoate inhalation powder) ■ Advair Diskus® or Advair® HFA (ﬂuticasone propionate and salmeterol) ■ Formoterol-containing products such as Foradil Aerolizer, Brovana®, or Perforomist®

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS WITH SYMBICORT? SYMBICORT can cause serious side effects. ■ Increased risk of pneumonia and other lower respiratory tract infections if you have COPD. Call your health care provider if you notice any of these symptoms: increase in mucus production, change in mucus color, fever, chills, increased cough, increased breathing problems ■ Serious allergic reactions including rash; hives; swelling of the face, mouth and tongue; and breathing problems.

7-MINUTE SOLUTION

FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE! JUST SEEMS TO LIVE ON. EACH GENERATION MAKES IT THEIR MUSIC.”

Are you as energetic as ever in your concerts? I used to leap off pianos in the ’70s. I don’t do that anymore—I’d probably keel over. It’s much more about the music now. I love to play live. In the studio, you pour your heart out with a vocal and they go, “Hmm, try that again.” But onstage, there’s no take two. Does a real-life guitar hero ever play a game like Guitar Hero? Yes, and he’s very bad. I was playing “Show Me the Way” on one of those iPhone guitar games, and at the end it said that maybe I should think about taking up drums.

What’s your advice for teen stars who want to be taken seriously as artists? A teenybopper career is about 18 months to two years, because the generation of your fans will move on.

may be gone, but Peter Frampton’s passion for egf playing live is stronger than ever. “I’m the least inhibited onstage,” says the 61-year-old Grammy winner, who’s now touring to celebrate the 35th anniversary of his multiplatinum album Frampton Comes Alive!

much like the way I grew up in the t e th suburbs of South London—slower and not so many vehicles. My favorite thing to do here is to eat Graeter’s ice cream—I usually get the black raspberry chip. It’s a small company, and it’s Oprah’s favorite ice cream, too; when we did her show, I took her some as a present. How many guitars do you own? I lost over 40 in the ﬂoods last year in Nashville [where they were stored], so I probably have 30 or 40 now. I’ve had to replace about 12. I want to have ones that are really unique and play them all. I don’t ever want to say, “Oh, yes, I’ve got thousands of guitars, but I never play them.”

I’m nine years sober— it’s been a phenomenal journey, and it’s still one day at a time. You became an American citizen after 9/11. What did that mean to you? I have lived virtually as an American since 1975—I had a green card, and I’ve paid taxes. I was starting to become a little more politically aware, and I meant to do it earlier. But when 9/11 happened, I called my lawyer and said, “Let’s do it. I need to vote.” I felt very patriotic that day. See photos of the rocker through the years at Parade.com/frampton

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR BARBECUE GRILL By the end of summer, your grill may be a little, well, gunky. Just in time for the last big holiday weekend, here’s Steven Raichlen, author of The Barbecue Bible and Planet Barbecue, on getting the grease out.

Before cleaning, check

the grease collector under the grate. (On some models, the grease collector looks like a large sheet pan; on others, like a can or a cake pan.) If it’s full, empty it.

Crank up the heat—

grill grates should be cleaned while they’re hot. If you have a gas unit, turn it up all the way. If you have a charcoal grill, use a chimney starter; once the coals are lit, spread them around (a small hand rake works well) so the grate heats up quickly.

Once the grate is hot,

put on grill gloves and dislodge any burned-on debris with a stiff wire brush (available at Home Depot and other stores).

Take a paper towel and fold it into a tight

pad. Using tongs, dip the pad in a small bowl of vegetable oil, like canola, and rub it over the bars of the grate. The oil will clean them and prevent food from sticking.

Take Back Your Weekend...

START PLANNING MIDWEEK. On Sunday night, Wood sits down with her husband and two teens to work out the family calendar. “We have a brainstorming session about what we want to do that weekend and discuss how we can budget our time so things go smoothly.” Make sure to pencil in the fun stuff, too. “Interspersing rewards throughout your schedule will motivate you,” says psychologist and time management expert Neil Fiore. Earmark a favorite activity for ﬁrst thing Saturday morning to prevent chores from trumping play.

1 ... From an Avalanche of Chores DO A LITTLE AT A TIME, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. Professional

organizers insist that performing tasks here and there during the week—spending 20 minutes each evening straightening up, for instance—goes a long way toward making weekend work more manageable. (Don’t get us wrong: You may still have to clean the house on Saturday, but you won’t have to spend two hours decluttering it ﬁrst.) Of course, this approach assumes you have time to spare after making dinner, paying bills, tucking in the kids, and getting organized for the next day’s commute. One alternative? Tackle chores as you wind down on Friday night—fold laundry, say, while you catch up on the shows you missed during the week. PUT ALL HANDS ON DECK (EVEN THE SMALL ONES). “Kids can help out a lot more—and a lot

earlier—than many parents think,” says Laura Stack, president of a time management ﬁrm in Denver. When her boys were younger, Stack had them lug laundry down to the basement, empty small wastebaskets around the house, and clear and set the table.

nothing wrong with dinner at your local bistro followed by a DVD at home. But according to Arthur Aron, a professor of psychology at New York's Stony Brook University who studies marital longevity, breaking up the routine can lead to a happier union. “If you do novel and exciting things together, you start to associate that excitement with the relationship,” Aron says. He doesn’t necessarily mean bungee jumping (we asked) or forcing yourself to take up your spouse’s favorite hobby. Instead, pick a fresh endeavor you both have an interest in pursuing, be it golf or salsa dancing.

We may be stressed, but we still love our weekends—and the great outdoors. A study by psychologists at the University of Rochester last year found that people are almost uniformly happier on Saturday and Sunday than they are during the week. The biggest sources of weekend cheer? Feeling socially connected and being outside, according to study author Dr. Richard Ryan. So make a date with nature. Ryan’s research shows that your mood will improve whether you hop on a mountain bike or take a simple evening stroll.

… From Disorganization

FOR BIG PROJECTS, THINK AHEAD—WAY AHEAD. Lorie Marrero, who oversees the organizational coaching website ClutterDiet.com, says that major jobs (garage sales, cleaning out the basement) should be scheduled weeks in advance, with input from the rest of the family. “Lining up everything ahead of time—arranging dumpster delivery, for example—makes weekend projects faster and friction-free,” she says. Plus, “looking ahead gives you a greater sense of commitment to the project and accountability to each other.”

… From Unrealistic Expectations DECIDE WHAT YOU TRULY WANT OUT OF THE WEEKEND. Resist making an exhaustive wish list and try to pinpoint one or two things you’re really after. For example, do you actually need to “get to the gym,” or would you rather ﬁnd fun ways to ﬁt the exercise in? If it’s the latter, why not trade sweating it out on the treadmill for shooting hoops at the neighborhood park with your daughter? ACCEPT THAT NOT EVERY PROJECT CAN BE FINISHED BY SUNDOWN ON SUNDAY. Fiore recommends that you

focus simply on launching a difficult undertaking—and recognize that it may have to be accomplished in stages, over the course of two or more weekends. “If you’re pressuring yourself to find a long, uninterrupted block of time, you’re never going to find it. It makes much more sense to say, ‘What can I start in the time I have now?’ ”

… From Your Kids and Their Activities REMEMBER: IT’S QUALITY TIME, NOT QUANTITY TIME. Christine Louise Hohlbaum,

author of The Power of Slow, has learned that the 20minute drive to her 12-year-old daughter’s Saturday horseback-riding lesson can be a prime bonding opportunity, and that being supportive of her daughter’s interests doesn’t mean she has to stay and watch the two-hour session. Instead, she swings over to a nearby café, where she sips tea and catches up on the week’s newspapers.

… From Work SET THE RIGHT TONE ON FRIDAY. Let coworkers know

you won’t be checking email; ask them to call you instead if anything urgent comes up. “You’ll seem responsive but won’t invite unnecessary communication,” says Tom Connellan, author of The 1% Solution for Work and Life. If your ofﬁce demands constant check-ins, raise the issue with colleagues. Half of the staff could agree to be on call Saturday, and the other half Sunday. GIVE YOUR BLACKBERRY A TIME-OUT. A 2009 survey

showed that while 70 percent of us work evenings or weekends, the majority do so because of “self-imposed pressure." Joe Robinson, a work-life balance coach, recommends checking your smartphone just one day a weekend.

Finally, a cell phone that’s… a phone

“Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids have been bugging me, my book group made fun of me, and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones are so small I can’t see the numbers, much less push the right one. They all have cameras, computers and a “global-positioning” something or other that’s supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store weren’t much help. They couldn’t understand why someone wouldn’t want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were complicated, confusing, and expensive… and the contract lasted for two years! I’d almost given up when a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now, I have the convenience and safety of being able to stay in touch… with a phone I can actually use.” The cell phone that’s right for me. Sometimes I think the people who designed this phone and the rate plans had me in mind. The phone fits easily in my pocket, and flips open to reach from my mouth to my ear. The display is large and backlit, so I can actually see who is calling. With a push of a button I can amplify the volume, and if I don’t know a number, I can simply push “0” for a friendly, helpful operator that will look it up and even dial it for me. The Jitterbug also

reduces background noise, making the sound loud and clear. There’s even a dial tone, so I know the phone is ready to use. Aﬀordable plans that I can understand – and no contract to sign! Unlike other cell phones, Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I’m never going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan, I won’t ﬁnd myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract to sign – so I’m not locked in for years Monthly Minutes Monthly Rate Operator Assistance 911 Access Long Distance Calls Voice Dial Nationwide Coverage Friendly Return Policy1

I have three children, triplets who are starting college this fall. It’s funny—while they were deep in the application process over the past year, Susan and I flashed back to the fears and hopes we had before they were born. I remember well some people telling us not to have triplets—that marriages don’t survive the strain, that the children would be at risk for health and emotional difficulties. Susan and I spent many hours agonizing over what to do. Finally, we decided that we had committed to this process, and we would simply throw everyTRIPLE PLAY Susan and Drew Pinsky in 1994 with (from left) Paulina, thing we had at these kids.

in our parenting, encouraging the kids to be autonomous, yet keeping our claws in them enough to guide and inﬂuence. Sometimes I feel as if I’m pushing them away so they don’t become dependent; at other times, I think I should be digging in deeper, like the “helicopter parents” who hover around their kids all day long. Who knows what’s right? I feel as if I’m supposed to know, but I question whether I’m doing the best I can every day. A highlight this past year was seeing all three appear in the school musical, Beauty and the Beast. We

had a Gaston, a Belle, and a Cogsworth. As I delighted in their performances, I was excited for the people they’ve become. I want them to have more fun at college than I did and not worry so much about what will come next. I want to remind them to enjoy where they are and develop strong friendships. Now it’s August, and I hope Susan and I can hold it together when we send them off. Fortunately, the planning, packing, and sheer logistics of the task are so distracting we probably won’t have time for an emotional meltdown. They are all going to different colleges, and Jordan and Paulina must arrive on the same day. Susan and I will have to split up, and I’m not looking forward to missing one child’s experience—or being without my wife for support. After 18 years of deﬁning ourselves as a family rather than as a couple, it’s a little scary—who are we if we’re not the parents of triplets? Thankfully, Susan and I really like each other and enjoy spending time together. Somehow, this is a part of the journey that I didn’t anticipate when we started out. I wouldn’t trade a minute of the time I’ve spent watching my kids grow up. But if I were to become locked in a cycle of eternal recurrence— reliving, say, Christmas circa 1997, when the sweetness and fantasies of their childhood ﬁlled our every waking moment—that would be a day worth experiencing forever. Pinsky’s new weekday series, Dr. Drew’s Lifechangers, premieres Sept. 19 at 3 p.m. ET/PT on the CW network.

Ask Marilyn By Marilyn vos Savant

I understand why using a fan on the back porch, where the temperature is 102, won’t cool me off, because the air is warmer than I am. But why does sitting in front of the fan make me feel hotter than not using a fan at all? I can’t wrap my brain around this! —Lisa Ballay, Round Rock, Tex.

Sitting right in front of a fan, especially when it’s turned up all the way, may cause your skin moisture (a.k.a. sweat!) to dry up, taking away your body’s main means of cooling itself. When the temperature is dangerously high and there’s no air-conditioning, spending long periods of time in front of a fan can be risky unless you mist yourself frequently. If your skin gets blown dry, you could develop heat exhaustion—or worse, heatstroke. ®

Q: Which vaccinations are most important for adults?

Everyone should get the flu vaccine once a year, and a one-time dose of Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccine. You should be immunized for shingles if you’re over 60, and for pneumonia (which can be life-threatening in older adults) if you’re over 65. To help protect against several types of cancer, women up to age 26 should receive the HPV vaccine. If you’ve never had the chicken pox, get vaccinated; the condition can be more serious in adults. (For more information, go to cdc.gov/vaccines.) —Dr. Lance Rodewald, director of the Centers for Disease Control’s Immunization Services Division

Janelle Greenlee

Just after giving birth

to twin girls in August 2003, Janelle Greenlee learned that both were infected with a virus called CMV, which is passed from a mother to her unborn child in utero. Greenlee’s obstetrician told her that even if the twins survived the initial complications, they might develop severe health problems, including deafness, blindness, and cerebral palsy. One in 150 babies are born with the virus, a higher rate than for Down syndrome or spina bifida. But according to the CDC, only 14 percent of women have heard of CMV. “The lack of awareness is terrible,

especially since one easy way to avoid passing the virus on to your baby is by washing your hands regularly,” says Greenlee. Frustrated by the silence surrounding the condition, Greenlee launched Stop CMV, an organization dedicated to preventing the infection in pregnant women. The group has created WHERE:

Thanks in part to Greenlee’s efforts, in June the Senate passed legislation that recommends counseling women of childbearing age about the virus. “Janelle’s passion has made a huge impact in raising awareness about this condition,” says Michael J. Cannon, an epidemiologist at the CDC’s National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities. Today, Greenlee’s 8-year-old twins, Riley and Rachel, are quadriplegics who are deaf and prone to seizures. Still, she says, “I feel peace knowing that my children will hopefully be one of the last generations born with CMV.” —Jenny Everett August 28, 2011 • 15
