Others are more optimistic but say it won't be easy. A human therapy is in "the quite far future," Hayashi said. Clark said it would take at least a decade.
Greely, the Stanford law professor, speculated that in 20 to 40 years, the technique might make couples more likely to go through test-tube fertilization just so they could choose characteristics of their babies. That is because donating skin cells to make eggs is a lot easier than going through the medical and surgical procedure of having one's own eggs harvested, which is what some women do now.
In the future, Greely said, couples could create eggs and then have the resulting embryos analyzed genetically. Then they could choose which embryos they wish to have implanted on the basis of that analysis, which by that date might be able to indicate not only disease risk but also a variety of normal traits such as eye color and or a propensity for certain talents, he said.
Some others, however, said they doubt that practice would become widespread.
"I don't think there's a huge market for it," said Debra Mathews of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. "And people are not going to stop having sex."
The technique also raises a host of medical and ethical concerns.
"I would be worried about the safety of trying to make kids this way," said Lawrence Goldstein, director of the stem cell program at the University of California, San Diego. "It seems like an experiment on those kids."
It would also be complicated and expensive, adding to the question of whether it would really be a good way to treat infertility, he said.
He and others also said society will have to decide how much government regulation would be needed, both for the initial research in humans and its routine use by doctors.
For example, the new work moves scientists closer to the possibility of tinkering with genes that would affect not only one person but also be inherited by future generations, which has long been controversial, said Dr. George Daley of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute. And basic research with such eggs could mean making and destroying human embryos in the lab, which many people oppose.
More controversy could arise over using the method for women who are infertile simply because of their age.
"Society is not clear about how it feels about older women having children," said Josephine Johnston of the Hastings Center, a bioethics research institute in Garrison, N.Y. She said there has been no sustained public discussion of "how old is too old, and what does that even mean."

Getting Kecleon on your team Cheat for Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team

- Developer: ChunSoft
- Publisher: Nintendo
- Genre: Role-Playing Console-style RPG
- Release Date: Sep 18, 2006
- ESRB: Everyone
Getting Kecleon on your team
To get kecleon on your team you should start the game off with a charmander and evolve it into a charizard. Then make sure your moves are : Flamethrower (for long distance), Heat Wave (for lots of enemys), Fire Spin ( it has 19 pp) and my favourite, Blast Burn (strongest fire move in game and it hits all enemys in a 1 tile radius. Also make sure your Charizard is lvl 100 and make sure you have a reviver seed. Then go to pitfall valley, floor 15. When you find kecleon steal and kill him, then loads more will come so thats when you use Blast Burn and after a while (if you dont die) a kecleon may want to join your team. then use an escape orb and vola. It took me about 3 hours because i kept dying.... Maybe you will have a bit more luck.

- About Us
This summer, the San Francisco SPCA will offer a whole line-up of Summer Animal Camps for kids interested in learning more about animals and the animal welfare community. What better way to spend the summer than making new friends, learning together, playing games, and hanging out with amazing animals who need your help? Kids aren't the only ones who will have fun; our shelter animals receive much-needed attention and TLC.
Summer Animal Camps utilize experiential and service learning to teach kids how to train and care for animals, be responsible guardians, align their choices with their values, and make our community a safer place for all animals. Our camps promote kindness and compassion for all creatures. The camps celebrate our relationship with animals, with a focus on how we can make them feel safe and comfortable. Students have hands-on learning opportunities and will work with a variety of animals. The SF SPCA is happy to offer this opportunity to mature, respectful young people. We are looking for campers who want to build on their passion for furry friends by learning how to provide a lifetime of love and care for animals. Please review our Summer Animal Camp F.A.Q. for more information.

I was sitting here, alone in the dark
my heart heavy not seeing a spark.
Love had gone and left me this way
no longer able to come out and play.
Pity and sorrow reigned all my life
no longer he cared for the love of his wife.
Sitting alone a moment in time
wanting to end this life that was mine.
Taking a moment and looking inside
seeing the woman he's forced to hide.
Pushing and shoving, breaking away
no longer happy with the tears of the day.
Freeing myself from my sad little world
holding to passion, coming unfurled.
Taking the time and easing the pain
no longer the prisoner of words he had slain.
Grasping the handle of a door locked tight
gauging the moment to take off in flight.
Hoping for dreams of a lover's soft kiss
looking for someone to grant me this wish.
Trying the lock, turning the key
freeing the love that was inside of me.
Taking the hand of a friend passing by
knowing the moment of bliss, so sublime.
Walking away, and not looking back
leaving the sadness and the heart that was black.
Seeing the future stretched out long and white
loving the beauty held in my sight.

So, I am new to Mothering but I'm pregnant and am having a boy. I'm trying to decide whether or not to circumcise. We're not religious, but I want him to look like his father, who is circumcised. I have done a lot of reading on the internet and am pretty convinced that there's no medical reason to circumcise. In fact, I found a blog post on this that I wanted to share. She says that there's really no evidence to support circumcising.
The thing is, though, I don't know if I believe that circumcision is really harmful. It just doesn't seem like with most of the men in the US walking around circumcised and they're not complaining (it seems like it's women who freak out about it more than men), is it really a problem?

Bradford pears, ornamental plums, redbud, weeping cherry. White, lavender, magenta, pink.
It's like a slow explosion of color, not there one day, fully present the next.
It does something to the brain. When 6 or 7 million photosensitive cones in human eyes haven't seen much color for months and suddenly have to work overtime to see it all, it comes as kind of a psychic jolt as well.
It restores the soul.
Anyway, it does for me.
Growing up, I took all this for granted. This is just what happens. Happens every year. Ho hum.
I'm a little wiser now.
More than 20 years ago, my West Virginia self traveled through tens of miles of urban slum in the Philadelphia area.
Endless grimy rowhouses for many square miles.
Not a tree or a shrub or a patch of grass as far as the eye could see. Flat as a pancake, covered with broken concrete and worn brick structures.
Urbanites come to West Virginia and are shocked by the poverty they see. How, they will ask after going up some hollow, can people live like this?
I think if you took busloads of West Virginians past what I have seen in Philadelphia and Baltimore and Washington, D.C., their reaction would be much the same:
How can people live like this?
West Virginians are statistically poor — still stubbornly one of the poorest states in the nation.
But the poorest of the poor can step out of the humblest trailer on the most forgotten road and walk in beauty, first in spring, then in summer, then in fall.
It's a richer grade of poverty by far.

Whether a beginner or an expert orchid grower, you will find membership in the American Orchid Society a truly rewarding experience. You'll join over 16,000 others worldwide who share a passion for orchids, as well as furthering conservation and research efforts for these wondrous plants. Join the AOS now Click here
Read the monthly magazine of the American Orchid Society, Orchids The award-winning flagship publication of the AOS, Orchids is chock-full of ads from most of the best orchid firms.
Write for catalogs and lists of interest Some firms issue full-color catalogs with photographs and many plant descriptions; smaller firms often offer only a list with names and prices. Any charge for a color catalog is usually refunded with the first order
Visit local greenhouses and nurseries There is no better way to get an idea of plant and flower size. Visiting in person enables one to see many flowers simultaneously. Commercial growers provide helpful answers when asked to suggest plants that will do well in particular environments.
Consult the American Orchid Society's Orchid Marketplace, published in the Society's Orchid Source Directory It lists various orchid firms, large and small, by state and country. Keep a copy of this handy resource in the car. Be assured that virtually any trip can be made to fit around a conveniently located nursery! Copies of the Orchid Source Directory are sent to all members of the American Orchid Society. Others may order a copy from the Society.
Attend orchid shows and other plant sales Orchid shows are dizzyingly full of plants in flower and booths managed by vendors ready to dispense cultural information, plants, books and accouterments. Join a local orchid society. The meetings are good sources of new plants, whether by door prizes, raffles, annual auctions and shows; communal plant orders that yield big discounts; and/or the visiting guest speakers who are also commercial vendors and who customarily bring a load of plants to sell.
Talk to fellow orchid growers Club members often divide plants to give away or sell amongst themselves. When a desirable orchid is seen on the show table at a monthly meeting, ask the owner if he or she plans to divide it soon, and make deals. Once a plant collection is assembled, arrange trades for future acquisitions.

Barry Manilow Musical Harmony at the Ahmanson
- Full Price:
- $60.00 - $80.00
- Our Price:
- $30.00 - $40.00
Barry Manilow returns to his first love, writing musicals, with the much-anticipated Harmony. This musical story of the world's first hit boy band is based on the true tale of six talented young Germans who came together in the 1920s and took the world by storm. With a signature blend of sophisticated close harmonies and hilarious stage antics, the Comedian Harmonists were an actual group that sold millions of records, starred in films and packed the prestigious concert halls around the globe -- until the rise of Nazi Germany split them apart. Inspired by the story, Manilow and his co-creator, writer-lyricist Bruce Sussman, created this musical with an original score that celebrates this extraordinary group of friends and their quest for true harmony in one of the most discordant periods of world history.

The staging was superb; the acting incredible; the music exhilarating; the dancing hypnotic; and the grounding in historical/cultural perspectives profound!
This is a must see for understanding the compelling influence of music and dance for activating social movements. Be prepared to participate in the movement at the Shrine - leave your inhibitions at home!

Quotes & Highlights
- Watch the video trailer for FELA!
- The hot (and seriously cool) energy that comes from the musical gospel preached by the title character of FELA! Feels as if it could stretch easily to the borders of Manhattan and then across a river or two. There should be dancing in the streets!" --New York Times
- "FELA! Is as rowdy as it is rousing. (It) is one of the most original and exciting shows to come around in a long while." --Daily News
- "There's enough energy in the first act of  FELA! to short circuit Con Ed. It spills over from the stage and into the orchestra seats. Boundless and joyous: This is as close as Broadway gets to fully immersive theatre." --New York Post
- Bill T. Jones's wildly loose-limbed journey into the throbbing heart of Afrobeat breaks bold new ground in musical theatre." --Variety
Winner of 3 Tony Awards!
From Producers Shawn "Jay Z" Carter, Will Smith, and Jada Pinkett-Smith
FELA! is the true story of the legendary Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, whose soulful Afrobeat rhythms ignited a generation. Inspired by his mother, a civil rights champion, he defied a corrupt and oppressive military government and devoted his life and music to the struggle for freedom and human dignity.
FELA! is a triumphant tale of courage, passion and love, featuring Fela Kuti's captivating music and the visionary direction and choreography of Tony Award-winner Bill T. Jones.

Three wins in one hockey season is usually not something to celebrate. But for the Amesbury-Whittier team, it is a sign of progress and how far the team has come in the last year. The Amesbury-Whittier team has already surpassed its win total of a season ago, when the co-op team went 2-14-4.
The team, which is split about 50-50 between players from Whittier Tech and Amesbury High, is under the guidance of experienced coach Chris Kuchar, who is in his second year as head coach. When Kuchar took over the program last season, he knew that the team had a lot of work to do after going just 6-67-6 in the four years prior to his joining the staff.
"Last year I found out that there was a lot of change needed," said Kuchar. "Discipline, commitment, effort, structure, focus and team play were not there. It was a bunch of kids from different schools who weren't playing together. They were playing as individuals."
This year, Amesbury-Whittier scored the elusive third win in just the sixth game of the season. The team is now 3-4-0 and trying to make the playoffs for the first time since 2006. Although the wins are nice, Kuchar said, he expects there to be bumps in the road because of the talent disparity between his squad and some of rival teams.
"We can't really measure ourselves with wins and losses," said Kuchar. "At this stage of our program, we measure it by if kids are buying into our program. Once everyone buys in and collectively agrees on a direction. The wins and losses will come with that."
Kuchar has a long history in local hockey. He was born and raised in Haverhill and was the captain of the 1989 Haverhill hockey team, which was one of the most successful in school history, winning 17 games.
Because of his own experience, he knows what his Amesbury-Whittier team is going through.
"My freshman and sophomore year we would get beat up pretty good by the powers of the Merrimack Valley Conference," said Kuchar. "We were losing games 16-0 in those first couple of years. We didn't have any leadership at first, but by the time we were upperclassmen we progressed and were successful."
After his career at Haverhill High, Kuchar went on to play at Salem State and became a hockey scout in the East Coast Hockey League. He covered Hockey East for The Eagle-Tribune for eight years. In 2000, he got a job at Haverhill High, serving as assistant coach for eight years, and was an assistant at North Andover for one year before landing his first head coaching gig.
One of Kuchar's challenges with the Amesbury-Whittier team is blending the talent that he has at his disposal. The team is a youthful one. The leading scorer is freshman Tabor Smith, who has three goals and three assists and is averaging a point a game.
The inclusion of Whittier is critical for the hockey program's survival. As of now, there are not enough bodies for the two schools to have two separate teams.
Some players on the team were not even aware of the co-op program when they enrolled at Whittier High.
"I had always loved hockey," said Connor Stevens. "But, I didn't even know about the co-op program until I got to Whittier."
While many young players grow up competing with and against each other in town leagues before playing at the high school level, many of the players on this team had never played with each other before. Players from Haverhill, Amesbury, Salisbury, Rowley and Merrimac had to develop team chemistry quickly before the season began.
The challenges don't bother Kuchar.
"I like what we have right now," said Kuchar. "I was pleasantly surprised with the number of Whittier kids that tried out for our program. We're a youthful team and the future is looking up for us."

One of the main issues surrounding menopause is that it coincides with a steady increase in heart disease among women -- it is often said that women have a "protection" from heart disease that they lose, seemingly along with their estrogen, around the time they undergo menopause.
But Duke cardiologist Kristin Newby, MD, notes that the exact link between the two has not been proven. "it could be that estrogen is an innocent bystander to a process that we haven't discovered yet," she says.
"In some ways I think we do a disservice by perpetuating the idea that women have this almost magical protection against heart disease up until menopause," says Newby.
While estrogen debates may continue indefinitely, there is no controversy about the fact that women and men alike are developing heart disease at earlier ages than ever before -- and that women should adopt heart-healthy behaviors including healthy diet, regular exercise, stress management, and regular well visits to a doctor, in their twenties.
Bioidentical hormone replacement can be a confusing term, because it can be applied to any non-estrogen substance (often available without a prescription) that is meant to relieve the symptoms of menopause.
These substances are often promoted as panaceas that provide the benefits of estrogen replacement without the risks, but a variety of groups -- including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the American Medical Association, and the Food and Drug Administration -- have released advisories that bioidentical hormone therapies may be no different from estrogen replacement therapies, in terms of risk.
Duke gynecologist Charles Hammond, MD, says that one of the major safety concerns of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is that there is no regulation of the manufacture and marketing of these formulas.
"And there's not one shred of good scientific research that shows these products are any safer or any better than estrogen."
"In fact, there have been a number of papers showing that they sometimes don't contain the ingredients they say they do. so on the down side they may carry the same risk as estrogen, and on the 'plus side' they may not be worth a thing, because you don't know what's actually in it."
