  • Actress Marlee Matlin Relied on the Lensar Laser
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ACTRESS MARLEE MATLIN RELIED ON THE LENSAR LASER SYSTEM FOR HER CHALLENGING CATARACT SURGERY Performed by Dr. Kerry Assil, the Procedure Restored Matlin’s Eyesight and Will Air Today on “The Doctors” TV Show ORLANDO, FLA., Nov. 07, 2013 – The LENSARLaser System will be featured today on “The Doctors,” as the Emmy award-winning television show describes how Dr. Kerry Assil, using LENSAR Inc.’s cataract surgery technology, helped save actress Marlee Matlin’s vision. The success of the eye surgery held significant importance for Matlin, who is the only deaf performer to win the Academy Award for Best Actress in a leading role (for Children of a Lesser God). She and Dr. Assil chose LENSAR’s technology for her cataract surgery because she wanted to ensure the best-possible results, as her procedure was more complicated than usual, due to the density of the cataract. “I was losing the ability to read, drive and do daily tasks, and with hearing loss I rely on my eyesight to an even greater extent,” said Matlin. “I knew my case was complicated, and I understood there could be trouble down the road if things weren’t done correctly, so I really wanted the best-available technology and the best doctor. I have to say, the results show that I made the right decision with the LENSAR Laser System and Dr. Assil.” Dr. Assil said he felt confident about Matlin’s cataract procedure in part because he would be using the LENSAR Laser System. “Her relative youth coupled with the advanced nature of her cataract presented challenges,” he said.

Set in the late 1980s, as AIDS hammered New York City, MINYAN is a powerful story of rebellion and self-discovery, sexual and spiritual awakening — and survival. LONG SYNOPSIS David (Samuel H. Levine) is a teenager at a strict yeshiva in Brighton Beach at the height of the 1980s. While helping his grandfather (Ron Rifkin) settle into a retirement facility in the tight-knit Russian Jewish enclave he calls home, he meets Itzik and Herschel, two elderly closeted gay men who open him up to the possibility of connection, community — and love.

SACHS: Good morning everyone. Thank you for braving the aftermath of the cyclone bomb and the polar vortex, and other linguistic innovations. And welcome on behalf of Brookings and the Center for Middle East Policy. My name is Natan Sachs; I'm the Director of the Center for Middle East Policy. And, again, welcome to everyone here in the room, everyone joining us on our webcast on the Brookings website, and everyone joining via C-SPAN at home. We have an extremely important topic this morning and an excellent panel to discuss it. We often have debates on Middle East policy on interests and what the U.S. should do in terms of immediate policy and pursuing its interests. We often have debates about what the U.S. should do in terms of its values, promoting its vision of the good life, its vision of what the world should look like. And once in a while we have an issue that very clearly encapsulates both, and this is one of them.

A special thanks to Kelly Hankin for her steadfast commitment to my success and delightful sense of humor—I could not have asked for a better advisor for this journey. To Jennifer Nelson, your guidance through my research and writing process is very much appreciated, thank you for pushing me to think outside of the box. Lastly, to Alon August, Emma Haas, Jackie Starks, Gregory Clark and Diana Clark, thank you for always encouraging me to work my hardest, even when the work may seem impossible. iv ABSTRACT This essay analyzes the HBO series Girls (2012-) from a feminist media studies perspective. Through an in depth analysis of the history of feminist television, this paper claims that Girls takes a pro-sex feminist stance on issues of sexuality and identity and therefore progresses the timeline of depictions of feminism in prime-time television.
