Not long ago, access to natural dietary supplements, gluten-free foods and organic produce in the Midwestern United States was extremely limited. It was here, in an area mainly barren of these options for health and wellness, where Barbara Hoffmann and her husband, John, decided to build an oasis for natural products shoppers.
Bone health is not only the concern of women and those advanced in years. People of all ages should be aware of the need to build strong bones and should be educated about preventing problems down the road. Over 200 million people worldwide are affected by osteoporosis, according to market research cited by Tracy Kreider, N.D., senior national product educator for Country Life, Hauppauge, NY. The world's aging population will create a further need for supplements, as well as fortified beverages and foods, to bridge the bone health nutrition gap (1).
Daniel Fabricant, Ph.D., addressed the Ingredient Marketplace crowd in early June with a presentation entitled, "There and Back Again." Reflecting upon his time as the director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) division of dietary supplements, Fabricant, now executive director and CEO of the Natural Products Association (NPA), offered insight into FDA's current thinking on dietary supplements and what could be on the agency's radar for the future.

Breaking Out: Azealia Banks
Harlem's 20-year-old MC-singer jokes she's past the Internet now
WHO: Formerly the teen rapper known as Miss Bank$, who rapped over a Ladytron ("Seventeen") track and was affiliated with tastemaking British label XL (via Diplo), the now-20-year-old Harlem MC-singer (recently signed to Universal) is now making noise on the strength of "212," her dizzyingly addictive throwdown released last fall. The song blew minds thanks to a kinetic black-and-white video of Banks rapping her ass off and cheekily grooving to producer Lazy Jay's buoyant beat. She effortlessly switches up styles, bouncing from aggressive raps to a foul-mouthed, filter-house breakdown to a gorgeously crooned bridge to, well, even meaner rhymes.
SOUNDS LIKE: Throwback party-rockin', dozens-playin' hip-hop for the Shuffle Mode Generation. After trouble with XL, Banks "looked into a lot more of the things that were on [her] iPod," resulting in an exuberantly wide-ranging approach to hip-hop and R&B. Both "212" and follow-up "Liquorice," plus her hook on the Scissor Sisters' "Shady Love," as well as "NEEDSUMLUV," an Aaliyah homage produced by Machinedrum, evidence her newfound influences.
SHE'S GONNA LIVE FOREVER: Like Nicki Minaj, Banks attended LaGuardia High School of the Performing Arts, and that dramatic influence on "212" — which feels like a performance piece designed to sell her multitude of talents — is, according to her, "kinda, like, obvious." There is also that sense of being in the moment, something likely gleaned from acting. "I don't have a process," she says. "Whatever way it happens, I just try to get the shit done however which way."
WE'RE GONNA REMEMBER HER... NAME: "Now that I've signed my deal [with Universal], it's kinda like I don't need the fucking Internet," she jokes. But she totally means it, too: "Like, whatever, I get [why you'd want to remain indie]," she explains, "but if you have a good lawyer, you can figure your shit out, get a good-ass deal, and do it the way you want to do it." Her swaggering, confident rant almost reads like a verse from one of her songs: "You don't have to be on an indie label and eat ramen and make an album on some bullshit-ass mic in some dirty basement," she declares, with a dismissive laugh. "Like, y'all can have that shit."

This page has moved: go to http://hcinfo.com/legionnaires-disease-faq Warning and Disclaimer: This information does not constitute legal, medical, engineering, or other professional advice. If such expert assistance is required, the services of a competent professional should be sought. Neither the author of this FAQ page nor HC Information Resources Inc. guarantees the accuracy, completeness, usefulness, or effectiveness of the material provided, and neither shall be liable for any damages, or in any event for incidental or consequential damages caused or alleged to be caused, directly or indirectly, by the use of any information disclosed.
Q. What is Legionnaires' disease?A. Legionnaires' disease is a type of pneumonia that is caused by Legionella, a bacterium found primarily in warm water environments. Both the disease and the bacterium were discovered following an outbreak traced to a 1976 American Legion convention in Philadelphia. Pontiac fever, a flu-like illness, is also caused by Legionella organisms (legionellae), but is not as serious as Legionnaires' disease. Most people who get Pontiac fever recover within five days, without having to be hospitalized. Return to top Q. What are the symptoms of Legionnaires' disease?A. Legionnaires' disease develops within 2 to 10 days after exposure to legionellae. Initial symptoms may include loss of energy, headache, nausea, aching muscles, high fever (often exceeding 104°F), and chest pains. Later, many bodily systems as well as the mind may be affected. The disease eventually will cause death if the body's high fever and antibodies cannot defeat it. Victims who survive may suffer permanent physical or mental impairment. Return to top Q. Is Legionnaires disease common?A. Legionnaires' is not rare. It is perceived as rare only because most cases are never detected, and not all detected cases are reported to public health authorities. Because underdiagnosis and under-reporting make incidence of the disease difficult to estimate, figures have varied widely. The (U.S.) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, has estimated that the disease infects 10,000 to 15,000 persons annually in the United States, but others have estimated as many as 100,000 annual U.S. cases. Another reason that Legionnaires' is falsely perceived as rare is that when cases are detected, the public rarely hears about them. Most cases—at least 65 to 80 percent in the United States and the United Kingdom —occur sporadically (one or two at a time). Thus, only a small percentage of cases occur as part of the multicase outbreaks that sometimes make the news. Cases of the disease are seldom publicized even when lawsuits are involved, because most Legionnaires' lawsuits are settled quickly and under terms of confidentiality. A case of Legionnaires' disease will go undetected unless special laboratory tests are performed. Unfortunately, most U.S. hospitals still have not made these tests routinely available. It is reasonable to assume that undetected cases of Legionnaires' are occurring because experience has shown that increased suspicion of the disease among physicians, when combined with increased patient testing, leads to more diagnoses. Some hospitals have recognized cases of Legionnaires' disease only after increased testing of patients with pneumonia. Likewise, in hospitals where only one to three cases of Legionnaires' were identified over several months, numerous additional cases were recognized after surveillance was intensified. Studies of community-acquired pneumonia (cases acquired outside hospitals) have also indicated that increased surveillance leads to more diagnoses. A large-scale study in Ohio (U.S.A.) suggested that only 3 percent of sporadic cases of Legionnaires' disease were correctly diagnosed. By comparison, in studies in which diagnostic tests have been consistently used, Legionella has been recognized among the top three or four microbial causes of community-acquired pneumonia. Because the symptoms of Legionnaires' are similar to those of other types of pneumonia, undetected cases of Legionnaires' disease end up being classified merely as pneumonia with no apparent cause. Based on CDC estimates, this means that 8 to 39 pneumonia deaths occur each week in the United States without anyone knowing that the cause was Legionella. What's worse is that many of these deaths could be prevented because, unlike most pneumonias, the source (e.g., a hot-water system) of Legionnaires' cases can be identified. But if Legionella is not recognized as the cause, no investigation ensues to pinpoint and disinfect the source, so the same source remains a threat. Return to top Q. How is Legionnaires' disease treated?A. Erythromycin and Azithromycin, antibiotics, have been effective, especially when cases are detected early. Return to top Q. How does a person get Legionnaires' disease?A. Legionnaires' disease is contracted by inhaling airborne water droplets containing legionellae. Some investigators believe that the disease may be acquired also by drinking legionellae-contaminated water, particularly if legionellae aspirated from the water are inhaled before the water enters the stomach. Cases have also been blamed on contact between contaminated water and incisions or skin wounds.The disease is not contagious. Return to top Q. Who is at risk of contracting Legionnaires disease?A. The risk of infection is based on two key factors: the number of legionellae reaching the body and the resistance of the individual. Young and healthy people can get Legionnaires' disease, but persons who are immunocompromised either because of illness (e.g., cancer) or medical treatment (e.g., chemotherapy) are at a much higher risk because they can be infected by relatively low legionellae counts. HIV-infected patients, for example, have a 40-fold increased risk; organ transplant recipients have a 200-fold increased risk. Smokers, persons over 65 years of age, and heavy drinkers have a moderately higher risk. Children

to top Q. What are the long term side effects of Legionnaires disease? I heard asthma is one side effect.A. As with any acute illness, patients who recover from Legionnaires' disease can suffer long term side effects. The most common are fatigue and lack of energy for several months. However, asthma of new onset is uncommon, although I know of a few cases who have persistent chest x-ray abnormalities with sustained wheezing. It is unclear as to whether this can be blamed solely on Legionnaires' disease; asthma may be due to a number of stresses besides Legionnaires' disease. Answer provided by Victor L. Yu, MD, Professor of Medicine, Unviersity of Pittsburgh; Chief, Infectious Disease Section, VA Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.Return to top Q. I have had Legionnaire's disease and been treated with large doses of erythromycin. The disease nearly killed me. My temperature was 107 degrees F; I was at death's door. Luckily, I had a physician who stayed by my side for days and suspected Legionnaire's. After having a near-death experience, I want to make sure that this never happens to me or any of my loved ones again. Is there any chance that the bacteria are still in my system, remaining a threat? Deborah Newman A. I am sorry that you had such a punishing experience with Legionnaires' disease (LD) , but I am also thankful that you survived since the mortality can be high. The answer to your question has only been clearly elucidated in the last decade. In 1978, when I saw my first case, we wondered if this could occur and our blood antibody tests suggested that it might have occurred in two patients. But, more complete studies with newer and more powerful lab tests have shown that once you are cured with antibiotics, the bacteria are cleared. So, you do not have to worry about this. We have data on the largest collection of patients with LD in the world and have followed them for many years. Somewhat to our surprise, virtually none of them have become reinfected. Apparently, they developed immunity with their first infection. It appears that you have some residual protection if you contract Legionnaire's disease; however, the most effective method of prevention is stopping cigarette smoking. Smokers are much more likely to contract LD (as they are to contract other respiratory infections including the flu). Fever exceeding 104.5 is a hallmark of LD, so you should thank your MD for making that fine diagnosis. Answer provided by Victor L. Yu, MD, Professor of Medicine, Unviersity of Pittsburgh; Chief, Infectious Disease Section, VA Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. Return to top Q. I have a friend who has been diagnosed with Legionnaires disease and is in the critical care department of a local hospital. Is this a disease that is mandated to be reported to the (U.S.) CDC? Will there be follow up on the source of the bacteria? A. In the United States, Legionaires' disease is a reportable disease by law to the local public health department and the CDC. Most health departments will not do a follow-up unless many patients contract the illness. Answer provided by Victor L. Yu, MD, Professor of Medicine, Unviersity of Pittsburgh; Chief, Infectious Disease Section, VA Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.Return to top Q. What can I do to make my home less conducive to Legionella contamination?A. The plumbing system (via showers and faucets), whirlpool spas and bathtubs, and humidifiers present a potential risk of legionellae exposure in homes. A number of measures can be taken to minimize legionellae growth. The long list of risk reduction options for homes cannot be covered in this brief FAQ. Return to top Q. Are certain types of buildings more prone than others to have problems with legionellae?A. Cases of Legionnaires' disease have been linked to many types of equipment that contain water, but plumbing systems and air conditioning systems are most often blamed. Although it is possible to contract the illness from legionellae growing in home plumbing systems, most cases have been traced to large buildings. This may be because larger piping networks are generally more conducive to legionellae growth. Also, the air conditioning systems for large buildings often include cooling towers, which contain a pool of warm water in which legionellae can flourish. Return to top Q. What precautions can be taken to prevent Legionnaires' disease?A. Legionnaires' is considered an environmental disease because its causative agent (legionellae) is transmitted from an environmental source (water) to a person (in contrast with communicable diseases, such as AIDS, which are transmitted from person to person). Therefore, keeping legionellae out of water is the key to preventing the disease. For example, plumbing systems can be maintained to minimize the growth of legionellae. And if preventive measures alone do not control the bacteria, disinfection procedures can be implemented. Return to top Q. How can I reduce my risk of getting Legionnaires' disease?A. You can reduce your risk of Legionnaires' disease by (a) lowering your susceptibility to infection and (b) avoiding exposure to Legionella bacteria. The most important factor in lowering your susceptibility to infection is to stop smoking. Among persons who are not immunocompromised, smoking is the number one factor in acquiring Legionnaires disease. A study of 146 adults with Legionnaires' disease indicated that smoking sharply increased the risk of contracting the disease. As for avoiding exposure to legionellae, you have several options. Some measures cost nothing and should be implemented out of good sense. Expensive measures could be a waste of money for healthy nonsmoking adults, who are at low risk of contracting Legionaires disease. High-risk individuals, however, should consider taking every reasonable precaution. For information on avoiding exposure in public places and at home, see the book Protect Yourself from Legionnaires' Disease: The waterborne illness that continues to kill and harm. Return to top Q. What precautions should be taken in working on cooling towers?A.

"Stacked Hotel Rooms"
Some installations must depend on photography in order to exist. Such is the case of Stacked Hotel Rooms, a series of ten installations by Adam Dade and Sonya Hanney. The hotel room is booked as a place to stay, not a medium, only for the pair to painstakingly stack everything they can move or disassemble into a tidy rectangular stack. The efforts and results are photographed and video�ed along the way, before Dade and Hanney restore the room to its original state. Wonder what they would have been like during Spring Break?

Alexandra Burke has revealed the cover and track list of her sophomore album, 'Heartbreak on Hold'. The 12-track record, which includes the singles 'Elephant' and 'Let it Go', will hit UK stores on June 4th.
Burke describes 'Heartbreak on Hold' as a throwback to the 1990s Dance/Pop movement; channelling the sounds of classic Dona Summer and Soul II Soul. In other words, she is simply following the dominant trend in Pop music today instead of expanding her artistry or taking a risk.
See the full 'Heartbreak on Hold' track list below:

Helping Hands
The Comic Art Professional Society is still running one of the greatest auctions ever of comic art…and it's all to benefit cartoonist Stan Sakai and his wonderful wife, Sharon. For those who came in late: Sharon is suffering from a horrendous medical condition that has to do with a brain tumor. Though the Sakais have health insurance, the costs of the necessary 24/7 care Sharon requires far exceed what the insurance covers. Stan is a great guy who has always been there to help others. Now, others are rallying to help him and Sharon.
The list of artists who've donated is amazing: Adam Hughes, Alex Maleev, Arthur Adams, Batton Lash, Eric Powell, Jan Duursema, Jerry Ordway, Jordi Bernet, Matt Groening, Michael Allred, Mike Mignola, Paul Gulacy, Sanjuliàn, Scott Shaw!, Jim Steranko, Tim Sale, William Stout, Bill Sienkiewicz, Cameron Stewart, Dan Brereton, Daniel Parsons, Dave Gibbons, Dean Yeagle, Doug Sneyd, Dustin Nguyen, Bill Morrison, Tone Rodriguez, Sergio Aragonés, Fabio Moon, Francisco Francavilla, Gene Ha, Geof Darrow, Gilbert Hernandez, Jack Davis, James O'Barr, Kevin Eastman, Jeff Lemire, Jeff Smith, Kazu Kibuishi, Liam Sharp, Tom Richmond, Michael Jantze, Olivia, Oscar Martin, Paul Chadwick, Richard Corben, Tom Mandrake, Walter Simonson, Charles Vess, Dan Spiegle, J. Scott Campbell and many more.
Wonderful items by many of these folks are closing today or in the coming week. Here's a link to go bid. Do it before you read the rest of this message…
Now then. There's one more thing you should do and, like buying something in the auction, it will benefit you while it helps the Sakais. At Comic-Con, there will be a new book available — a deluxe, hardcover volume called The Sakai Project: Artists Celebrate Thirty Years of Usagi Yojimbo. It will feature many of the drawings done for the auction and some other goodies, plus there's also a foreword in there by me. Dark Horse is publishing it but all proceeds will go to Stan and Sharon Sakai.
Of course, you'll be able to purchase a copy if you're not at Comic-Con but if you are, here's what you might want to consider. An awful lot of the fine artists who contributed to it will be there in San Diego. I may just carry mine around and get it signed by as many of the contributors as I can find. When you get to the con, you might want to head for the Dark Horse booth, purchase a copy and do this. The book's a treasure without that but a whole mess of signatures will make it even more of one. Just a suggestion.

I've been living halfway out of this world for the past few days. I've been hallucinatig more than I'd like to admit, and I'm not always quite sure where I am. I'm sorry if anyone was worried, apparently some of you were.
I think I need to see the headshrink.
I'm more lucid today than last night. Thankfully. Hopefully that won't change.
And no, I'm not on drugs, nor am I drinking. Haven't touched a bottle in a month.
Watched Avatar yesterday. Good film, best scifi I've seen in a while. Beautiful animation and a plot that wasn't all too predictable.
I also was playing Fallout 3 yesterday, which significantly added to my hallucinations for the rest of the day. I was fairly convinced that life was just a bigger part of Fallout 3 for a while.
I can feel the fog coming down. I'm getting a bit more tired and a bit more dizzy. I'll talk to everyone later, I hope.
Enjoy your sanity, darlings. I know I do when I have it.
Whenever you need it, that is. and yes, I was worried.
...Wait. What sanity do I have?! D:
Sometimes I like to sit at night and stare at the lamppost because it's the brightest thing in my life...

Mr. Peabody & Sherman Time Travel From the 60's into Theaters!
By Shawn Depasquale on October 25, 2013
The first trailer for Dreamworks Animation's newest film Mr. Peabody & Sherman is here; take a look at it, and then we'll discuss it a bit:
The official description:
Mr. Peabody (Ty Burrell), the most accomplished dog in the world, and his mischievous boy Sherman (Max Charles), use their time machine – The Wabac – to go on the most outrageous adventures known to man or dog. But when Sherman takes The Wabac out for a joyride to impress his friend Penny, they accidently rip a hole in the universe, wreaking havoc on the most important events in world history. Before they forever alter the past, present and future, Mr. Peabody must come to their rescue, ultimately facing the most daunting challenge of any era: figuring out how to be a parent. Together, the time traveling trio will make their mark on history.
My best memory of the characters comes from a Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror segment, seen here:
Of course, as you've seen, the film is taking a more traditional approach to the characters. If you know nothing about the original, here's a quick history lesson. Step into the Wabac Machine with me…
Mr. Peabody & Sherman started out as a short segment on the The Bullwinkle Show called Peabody's Improbable History. Together, the dog and his pet boy would travel to a different point in the past and interact with various historical figures such as Juan Ponce de León, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Edgar Allan Poe.
For more check out the official site and Facebook page:
His voice is all wrong.They should have had some one do it like the original.Watch the vid above,Half of what made the toons funny were the voices.
If there is no June Foray, there is no Sherman.
In Name Only. Even their expresions don't match the "feel" of the originals. Honestly, not interested. Will watch it on TV though. Don't know why they bothered using the original characters.
The sad fact is ,if they were not using the characters I have loved since childhood ,I might of given the movie a chance . The story seems fine for a modern day animated film ,but I guess they wanted to use a familiar brand to market on nostalgia .
[…] Mr. Peabody & Sherman Time Travel From the 60′s into Theaters! […]
[…] is a film of someone who used the "WABAC (or WayBack)" machine a long time […]

The young talent of the city have been migrating for better prospects in life. What has to be done to make them stay back?It is time the city persuaded young talent to stay back for it to regain its vibrancy.
Kozhikode, once known as the intellectual and cultural hub of Malabar, is losing its young intellectual capital. It is time the city persuaded young talent, from entrepreneurs to artists, to stay and regained its yesteryear vibrancy.
While a few opt to stay back or even return, the majority still prefer to grab their degrees and leave town.
A cross-section of personalities based in Kozhikode here speak on what the city lacks and how it can adapt to woo back its young minds.
Debhashis Chatterjee, Director, Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode, believes that change starts in the corridors of learning. "Educational institutions here have to welcome people from different parts of the country to come and learn. This encourages an openness of mind and high-end exchanges. Other than one or two educational institutions like the Indian Institute of Management and National Institute of Technology (Calicut), other institutions largely cater to the local population," he says.
He says the city continues to have its head turned towards the past. "No-one thinks of planning how the city should be in 2025. Political masters, chosen for their views on immediate local issues and not with an eye on the future, remain myopic. Elections are meant to win future generations. The planning of the city for the future should involve visionaries, poets, artists. The city should invest some time for the future," Prof. Chatterjee says.
Anjali Menon, film-maker and scriptwriter, agrees with Mr. Chatterjee that the city should look at carving out cultural spaces. Lopsided growth through high-rises and multiplexes will not keep its young minds from straying out. It may require a bit of Mohabbat to keep them back.
"The city hardly has social spaces for interaction, which are usually found in places that value their culture. Museums, art galleries, theatre spaces, parks, play areas, artist arenas can all play a role in such cultural exploration and interaction. We do have some museums, but they are hardly even known to the public and are therefore not visited by most," Ms. Menon says.
As the scriptwriter of the essentially 'Kozhikkodan' film Ustad Hotel , she describes Kozhikode as a "town-not-in-a-hurry-to-be-a-city." For her, this feature adds to the city's charm. "But I do find that the bulk of the people may not be in touch with the culture that is truly 'Kozhikoddan.' Instead they are moving towards a homogeneous culture driven by media, which most often lacks roots and identity," she adds.
N. Srikanth, classical dancer and disciple of Padma Subrahmanyam, says his move to Kozhikode began as a culture shock.
"For someone who moved from Chennai, a city surrounded by music and culture all through the year and any point of time, I find that this city needs more festivals to encourage and motivate youngsters. Actual value of an art form is not instigated, main focus here is competition," he says.
Sumesh Govind, proprietor of the Paragon Group hotel chain, speaks from hard-earned experience when he says the city is lukewarm to youngsters with passion.
"There is a huge lack of passion in this city. The people here are nice, friendly, but if something goes wrong with someone, all they do is sit back and watch rather than give a hand. This is a real turn-off for young passionate people trying to make it here. Thank God our people are passionate about food," he said. Vivek Puthan Purayil, urban designer and architect, however does not agree.
As a visiting faculty member at the Department of Architecture, National Institute of Technology, Calicut, and Joint Secretary, Indian Institute of Architects, he says Kozhikode is benevolent towards youngsters who want to make a success of a start-up venture.
"Instead of saying what the city lacks, I would rather dwell on what the city has. It has for one, open-hearted people who are receptive to youngsters and do not consider us as a threat. There is social equity. When we started out we could walk into any senior architect's office and access their drawings and plans. Here professionalism means something real. Competition is in terms of quality," he says. But the urban designer says that as far as spatial development is concerned, this is a "closed city." "Development of the city here means development of one junction," he points out.
Arun Kumar T.K., formerly a research associate at the University of Minnesota, returned to Kozhikode, citing nostalgia as the reason. He is now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Botany of Zamorin's Guruvayurappan College and an avid dog-breeder. "Livelihood issues are strong reasons for many to stick to places other than their hometowns even if they are nostalgic. I believe that a similar or even less-paid but decent job offer will bring many of us back home to 'Calicut.' Self-confidence after a lot of experience and exposure outside your city can give the self-assurance," he says.

In his regular Salon feature (3/10/09, ad-viewing required), Glenn Greenwald is having a hard time stomaching corporate media pundits' righteous "lectures to other countries":
The Washington Post's Fred Hiatt today condemns the Obama administration generally and Hillary Clinton specifically for "continu[ing] to devalue and undermine the U.S. diplomatic tradition of human rights advocacy." Hiatt is angry that on her trips to China, Egypt and Turkey, Clinton failed to issue sufficiently stern and condemning lectures about those countries' human rights abuses. The depths of the fantasy world in which our political elite reside–and their complete lack of self-awareness–borders on pathological.
While it's true that there is something ugly about hearing Clinton proudly announce that "I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family"–that wonderful "friend of her family" is one of the world's most repressive dictators–the idea that the U.S. is in any position to play the role of human rights arbiter for the world is about the most unhinged notion imaginable. Few things have degraded international conceptions of human rights more than American actions over the last decade–not only what we've done, but what we continue to do. As [fellow blogger] Billmon once wrote, the U.S., under the Bush administration, has "forfeited forever its ability to chastise the human rights abuses of others without triggering a global laughing fit."
Greenwald incredulously notes that, "Yet Hiatt–who cheered on many of the abuses and continues to do so–actually fancies America as the country that goes around the world credibly wagging its finger at other nations for their human rights inadequacies." Read the recent FAIR study of media human-rights duplicity in our magazine Extra!: "Human Rights Coverage Serving Washington's Needs: FAIR Finds Editors Downplaying Colombia's Abuses, Amplifying Venezuela's" (2/09) by Steve Rendall, Daniel Ward & Tess Hall.

The salesman was very friendly and helpful. He presented himself in a very pleasant manner and knew what I needed. I was able to have my installation worked around my work schedule which was great. The installers were very polite and respectful and did a wonderful job with the job. I was very impressed and happy to see them clean up behind themselves when they were done. I have used Four Seasons before and I'm just as happy as I was before. I have also referred my friends and family to use the company so they can experience the service.

I haven't checked, but does the Rhodesian government sanction the use of allied troupes to stabilize the situation?
Doesn't matter. You can't go about saying you help this place but not this place just because they didn't ask. I think millions running into SA counts as asking for help though don't you.
Also, when it comes to hunger, there is nothing that can be done in all honesty. Giving them food, WILL make it worse.
Nothing to do with food but the nine year old being sold for sex.

Driver's License, Driving, and Use of the Family Car
In This Article: | |
Try to stay away from general concepts like, "You will be able to drive when you do better in school," "You will get your driver's license when you show me more responsibility," or "When you act your age, I will consider allowing you to get behind the wheel of a car." Your definition of doing better in school, showing more responsibility, and acting one's age is probably different from your teenager's. Be very specific and map out exactly what the child has to do in order to obtain the goal. Avoid broad, general concepts. Following are several examples of behavioral problems and methods of dealing with them:
- Poor school performance. An adolescent is doing poorly in school because she is not doing what she is supposed to do (homework, class work, paying attention in class). This child already has her driver's license, but you do not feel that her level of responsibility in school warrants the use of the car. You might want to set up a weekly communication system with the school to monitor her behavior and performance. Under this system, you obtain weekly progress reports from her teacher regarding the completion of homework and class work and her behavior or attention in class. The child can earn a total of 30 points for the week for perfect performance. You might tell her that 15 points will get her the use of the car one day during the weekend, 20 points will get her two days, and anything over 25 points will allow her to use the car the entire weekend. By using a method like this, you have shown the teenager exactly what "doing better in school" means, and if she wants to use the car, she knows what she has to do in order to obtain this privilege.
- Problems with temper. Another child wants to obtain his driver's license, but has difficulty controlling his temper. He also becomes easily upset and agitated when things do not go as planned or expected, when he is faced with obstacles, or when he does not get his way. Because of this behavior, you question how he would respond behind the wheel of a car if he became upset. Therefore, in order for you to gain more confidence in allowing him to get a driver's license, this behavior would have to improve. You would very specifically define the behavior that you want to eliminate: "When you get angry, you usually start screaming or throwing things. Each week that you do not show these behaviors, you will earn a point. When you get ten points, you may get your permit and you can take driver's education. After that happens, each week that you do not show these behaviors we will be able to practice driving for half an hour on Sunday. When you have accumulated six hours of driving time, I will let you take the test for your license." After the driver's license is obtained, use of the car could also be determined on a weekly basis by the adolescent's ability to control his temper.
- Irresponsibility around the house. This particular teenager, for example, does not pick up after himself, or has to be told many times to clean his room or straighten up the bathroom. A child displaying this kind of behavior could earn driving privileges by showing more responsibility at home. You could specifically define what you mean by responsibility and set up a chart or keep a record of the child's behavior during the week. A similar procedure could be used as follows.
For example, a child may be able to use the car for a total of eight hours a week. Responsibility for this child could be defined as taking care of his belongings, putting things where they belong, cleaning up after himself, and so on. This could be put on a chart. Every time the child leaves his shoes in the den, does not clean the kitchen after he eats, leaves the bathroom a mess, or performs any other behavior that has been previously defined, a mark could be placed on the chart. For every mark that was received during the week, he would lose 15 minutes of driving time. If he received 20 marks during the week, he would only be able to use the car for three hours the following week. Similar procedures, involving a driver's license or use of the car, could be used to modify behaviors such as fighting with siblings, insolence, or coming home on time.

Thich Nhat Hanh
One of the best known and most respected Zen masters in the world today, poet, peace and human rights activist, Thich Nhat Hanh has led an extraordinary life. Born in central Vietnam in 1926, Nhat Hanh was ordained a Buddhist monk in 1942, at the age of sixteen. Just eight years later, he co-founded what was to become the foremost center of Buddhist studies in South Vietnam , the An Quang Buddhist Institute.
In 1961, Nhat Hanh came to the United States to study and teach comparative religion at Columbia and Princeton Universities . But in 1963, his monk-colleagues in Vietnam invited him to come home to join them in their work to stop the US-Vietnam war. After returning to Vietnam , he helped lead one of the great nonviolent resistance movements of the century, based entirely on Gandhian principles.
In 1964, along with a group of university professors and students in Vietnam, Thich Nhat Hanh founded the School of Youth for Social Service, called by the American press the "little Peace Corps," in which teams of young people went into the countryside to establish schools and health clinics, and later to rebuild villages that had been bombed. By the time of the fall of Saigon, there were more than 10,000 monks, nuns, and young social workers involved in the work. In the same year, he helped set up what was to become one of the most prestigious publishing houses in Vietnam, La Boi Press. In his books and as editor-in-chief of the official publication of the Unified Buddhist Church, he called for reconciliation between the warring parties in Vietnam, and because of that his writings were censored by both opposing governments.
In 1966, at the urging of his fellow monks, he accepted an invitation from the Fellowship of Reconciliation and Cornell University to come to the U.S. "to describe to [us] the aspirations and the agony of the voiceless masses of the Vietnamese people" ( New Yorker , June 25, 1966). He had a densely packed schedule of speaking engagements and private meetings, and spoke convincingly in favor of a ceasefire and a negotiated settlement. Martin Luther King, Jr. was so moved by Nhat Hanh and his proposals for peace that he nominated him for the 1967 Nobel Peace Prize, saying, "I know of no one more worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize than this gentle monk from Vietnam ." Largely due to Thich Nhat Hanh's influence, King came out publicly against the war at a press conference, with Nhat Hanh, in Chicago .
When Thomas Merton, the well-known Catholic monk and mystic, met Thich Nhat Hanh at his monastery, Gethsemani, near Louisville , Kentucky , he told his students, "Just the way he opens the door and enters a room demonstrates his understanding. He is a true monk." Merton went on to write an essay, "Nhat Hanh Is My Brother," an impassioned plea to listen to Nhat Hanh's proposals for peace and lend full support for Nhat Hanh's advocacy of peace. After important meetings with Senators Fullbright and Kennedy, Secretary of Defense McNamara, and others in Washington, Thich Nhat Hanh went to Europe, where he met with a number of heads of state and officials of the Catholic church, including two audiences with Pope Paul VI, urging cooperation between Catholics and Buddhists to help bring peace to Vietnam .
In 1969, at the request of the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam, Thich Nhat Hanh set up the Buddhist Peace Delegation to the Paris Peace Talks. After the Peace Accords were signed in 1973, he was refused permission to return to Vietnam , and he established a small community a hundred miles southwest of Paris , called "Sweet Potato." In 1976-77, Nhat Hanh conducted an operation to rescue boat people in the Gulf of Siam , but hostility from the governments of Thailand and Singapore made it impossible to continue. So for the following five years, he stayed at Sweet Potato in retreat - meditating, reading, writing, binding books, gardening, and occasionally receiving visitors.
In 1982, Thich Nhat Hanh established Plum Village, a larger, thriving retreat center near Bordeaux, France, where he has been living in exile from his native Vietnam . Since 1983 he has traveled to North America to lead retreats and give lectures on mindful living and social responsibility, "making peace right in the moment we are alive." He has offered retreats for Vietnam veterans, mental health and social workers, prison inmates, ecologists, businessmen, police officers and members of Congress. In 1997, Nhat Hanh founded the Green Mountain Dharma Center and Maple Forest Monastery in Vermont . In 2000, he founded Deer Park Monastery in Escondido, California. He has ordained over two hundred monks and nuns from different parts of the world. In addition, 230 lay practice communities practicing in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh meet regularly throughout the United States and around the world.
Since his days in Vietnam , Thich Nhat Hanh has been a leading proponent of "engaged Buddhism," a way of life and a spiritual practice that works actively in the world to relieve suffering. Nhat Hanh continues his work to alleviate the suffering of refugees, boat people, political prisoners and hungry families in Vietnam and other Third World countries. He has been instrumental in initiating the declaration, by the General Assembly of the United Nations, dedicating 2001-2010 as the "International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World" (Resolution A/RES/53/2519/111998). He collaborated with the Nobel Peace Laureates in drafting the "Manifesto 2000," with six points on the Practice of Peace and Non-violence distributed by UNESCO. In December 2000, Thich Nhat Hanh was invited to give a lecture at the White House World Summit Conference on HIV and AIDS. He has also been invited to speak at The Gorbachev World Forum and the World Economic Summit in Davos , Switzerland .
Thich Nhat Hanh has received recognition for his prolific writings on meditation, mindfulness, and peace. He has published over 85 titles of accessible poems, prose, and prayers, with more than 40 of those works in English. His best-known books include Peace is Every Step , Being Peace , Touching Peace , Call Me by My True Names , Living Buddha, Living Christ , Teachings on Love , and Anger .
Now over eightyfive years old, Thich Nhat Hanh is emerging as one of the great teachers of our time. In the midst of our society's emphasis on speed, efficiency, and material success, Thich Nhat Hanh's ability to walk calmly with peace and awareness and to teach us to do the same has led to his enthusiastic reception in the West. Although his mode of expression is simple, his message reveals the quintessence of the deep understanding of reality that comes from his meditations, his Buddhist training, and his work in the world.

Styes and Chalazia
Topic Overview
What are styes and chalazia?
Styes and chalazia are lumps in or along the edge of an eyelid. They may be painful or annoying, but they are rarely serious. Most will go away on their own without treatment.
- A stye is an infection that causes a tender red lump on the eyelid. Most styes occur along the edge of the eyelid. When a stye occurs inside the eyelid, it is called an internal hordeolum (say "hor-dee-OH-lum").
- A chalazion (say "kuh-LAY-zee-on") is a lump in the eyelid. Chalazia (plural) may look like styes, but they are usually larger and may not be painful.
Styes and chalazia may be related to blepharitis, a common problem that causes inflammation of the eyelids.
What causes a stye or chalazion?
Styes are caused by a bacterial infection. Usually the bacteria grow in the root (follicle) of an eyelash. An internal hordeolum is caused by infection in one of the tiny oil glands inside the eyelid.
A chalazion develops when an oil gland in the eyelid becomes blocked. If an internal hordeolum doesn't drain and heal, it can turn into a chalazion.
What are the symptoms?
A stye usually starts as a red bump that looks like a pimple along the edge of the eyelid.
- As the stye grows, the eyelid becomes swollen and painful, and the eye may water.
- Most styes swell for about 3 days before they break open and drain.
- Styes usually heal in about a week.
A chalazion forms a firm lump or cyst under the skin of the eyelid.
- Chalazia grow more slowly than styes. If a chalazion gets large enough, it may interfere with vision.
- The inflammation and swelling may spread to the area surrounding the eye.
- Chalazia often go away in a few months without treatment.
How is a stye or chalazion diagnosed?
Doctors diagnose a stye or chalazion by closely examining the eyelid. It may be hard to tell the difference between a stye and a chalazion. If there is a hard lump inside the eyelid, the doctor will probably diagnose it as a chalazion.
How are they treated?
Home treatment is all that is needed for most styes and chalazia.
- Apply warm, wet compresses 3 to 6 times a day. This usually helps styes and chalazia heal faster. It may also help open a blocked pore so that it can drain and begin to heal.
- Use an over-the-counter treatment. Try an ointment (such as Stye), solution (such as Bausch and Lomb Eye Wash), or medicated pads (such as Ocusoft Lid Scrub).
- Let it open on its own. Do not squeeze or open a stye or chalazion.
- Don't wear eye makeup or contact lenses until after the stye or chalazion heals.
If a stye is not getting better with home treatment, talk to your doctor. You may need a prescription antibiotic eye ointment or eyedrops. You may need to take antibiotic pills if infection has spread to the eyelid or eye.
If a stye or chalazion gets very large, the doctor may need to pierce (lance) it so it can drain and heal. Do not try to lance it yourself.
How can you prevent styes and chalazia?
To help prevent styes and chalazia:
- Don't rub your eyes. This can irritate your eyes and let in bacteria. If you need to touch your eyes, wash your hands first.
- Replace eye makeup, especially mascara, at least every 6 months. Bacteria can grow in makeup.
- Treat any inflammation or infection of the eyelid promptly. If you get styes or chalazia often, wash your eyelids regularly with a little bit of baby shampoo mixed in warm water.

Eye problems: Using eyedrops and eye ointment |
A stye usually starts as a sensitive, red, swollen area on the surface of the eyelid along the eyelash line. This changes into a small, tender bump similar to an acne pimple. The eye may water, and the eyelid may be painful. Typically the stye comes to a head (clear or yellow fluid collects in the stye) and breaks open within about 3 days. After the stye opens, it usually heals and goes away. See a picture of a stye.
An internal hordeolum, though deeper inside the eyelid, has the same symptoms as a stye.
A chalazion tends to grow more slowly and deeper into the eyelid than a stye, usually does not cause pain, and may last for several months. A chalazion may form a firm lump under the skin of the eyelid, especially when the pore of the oil gland is blocked and material builds up inside the gland. The inflammation and swelling may spread beyond the eyelid to the areas near the eye, such as the eyebrow. It may grow large enough to interfere with vision. See a picture of a chalazion.
Exams and Tests
It is often hard to tell the difference between styes and chalazia, which are minor problems of the eyelid. Both are diagnosed by a close visual exam of the eyelid. If there is a hard bump deep inside the eyelid, it is usually diagnosed as a chalazion.
If a stye does not heal with home treatment, your doctor may order culture and sensitivity tests of the fluid inside the stye. These tests will help your doctor find out what kind of bacteria is causing the infection and help guide further treatment.
Treatment Overview
Home treatment is all that is needed for most styes and internal hordeola, which are minor problems of the eyelid. If home treatment does not work, prescription medicines, such as eye ointments or eyedrops, may be needed. To learn the best way to use these medicines, see:
Talk with a doctor if:
- A stye becomes very painful, grows larger quickly, or continues to drain (particularly if the drainage is pus).
- The redness and swelling around a stye spreads over the eyelid, inside the eyelid, or over the eyeball.
- You have vision problems.
- A stye does not begin to improve after 3 days of home treatment or does not heal in one week.
If the infection spreads to the eyelid or the eyeball, you may need oral antibiotics (pills).
A very large stye that does not go away with home treatment—or a chalazion that has grown big enough to interfere with vision—may need to be cut open (lanced) by a doctor so that it can drain and heal. You will need to use antibiotic eye ointment or eyedrops after this procedure.
Your doctor may advise you to wash your eyelid or along your eyelash line with a mild soap wash or a "no tears" shampoo (such as a baby shampoo) to reduce the chance of infection if you have recurring styes or signs of blepharitis. You can make a mild soap wash at home by mixing a nonirritating soap, such as baby shampoo, with an equal amount of warm water. Usually 2 Tbsp (30 mL) of each is enough. Use a clean cloth or cotton ball dipped in this mild soap solution to gently wash the eyelid or along the eyelash line.
Home Treatment
Home treatment for styes and chalazia
Home treatment is usually all that is needed to treat most styes and chalazia. Try the following measures to reduce the discomfort and help them heal.
- Do not wear eye makeup or contact lenses until the stye or chalazion heals.
- Apply warm, wet compresses. Warm, wet compresses applied 3 to 6 times a day usually help styes and chalazia heal faster. A warm compress may also help open a blocked pore so that it can drain and begin to heal. Wash your hands before applying a compress. Use a clean cloth or piece of gauze moistened with very warm tap water. Do not heat compresses in a microwave oven. The compress may become too hot and can burn the eyelid. Place the compress over your closed eye until it begins to cool (usually 5 to 10 minutes). To speed the healing process, you may also use normal saline solution instead of tap water.
- Allow the stye or chalazion to break open by itself. Do not squeeze or open a stye or chalazion.
Use nonprescription treatments. Make sure that any medicine
you buy without a prescription is for the eyes (ophthalmic), not for the ears
(otic). Nonprescription treatments available to relieve the discomfort of styes
- Ointments, such as Stye.
- Solutions, such as Bausch and Lomb Eye Wash and Collyrium Eye Wash.
- Medicated pads, such as Ocusoft Lid Scrub and Stygiene.
If a stye or chalazion is not healing with home treatment, talk to your doctor. You may need a prescription antibiotic eye ointment or eyedrops.
Always wash your hands before applying eye ointment or eyedrops. Do not touch the tip of the applicator with your hand. Be sure the eyedropper and ointment tip are clean, and try not to touch the eye, eyelid, or any surface with the eyedropper or ointment tip. Always use a wall mirror with good light when applying eye ointment or eyedrops.
- If antibiotic eye ointment is prescribed, apply a thin layer over the stye at bedtime.
- If antibiotic eyedrops are prescribed, apply them by pulling the lower eyelid down with two fingers to create a little pouch between the eyeball and the lid. Put the drops in the pouch. To spread the medicine over the eye and eyelid, keep the eye closed for 30 to 60 seconds after putting in the drops.
- To put eyedrops in a child's eyes, have the child lie down and close his or her eyes. Put a drop in the inner corner (corner nearest the nose) of the infected eye. Then, have the child open the eye so the drop will go in. Do not let the child rub the treated eye.
To learn the best way to use these medicines, see:
To help prevent styes, internal hordeola, and chalazia, which are minor problems of the eyelid:
- Do not rub your eyes. This can irritate your eyes and spread infection.
- Protect your eyes from dust and air pollution by wearing safety glasses when you are outside, particularly when you do dusty chores like raking or mowing the lawn.
- Avoid areas where dust and air pollution are heavy.
- Replace your eye makeup, especially mascara, at least every 6 months. Bacteria can grow in makeup.
- Treat any inflammation or infection of the eyelid (blepharitis) promptly. If you do not, the infection may spread to the oil glands of the eyelid and cause a stye.
Although most styes and chalazia are not contagious:
- Avoid sharing towels, washcloths, or eye makeup.
- Wash your hands often and keep them away from your eyes, especially when caring for someone with a stye or any other kind of infection.
- Wash your hands often, and keep them away from your eyes if you have an infection in another part of your body.

Setting up your first zip line? Let us help take any uncertainty out of the project and get you up to speed on the basics of how to build a zip line!
Please note that you are responsible for your use of any advice and instruction. Any advice, written or spoken, is not a guarantee of safety from Sleaddventures, LLC dba Zip Line Gear.
Site Selection
Prior to installing your zip line, select an appropriate location. Clear runway for your zip line with a sturdy anchor on both ends, and allow enough slope in the cable to propel your participants from one end to the other. Although there are relatively few locations where a zip line cannot be installed, some locations will provide for a safer and more enjoyable ride than others. Typically zip lines are installed between two trees at least 12" in diameter. Finally, select a site that will allow you to build a 6% slope into your zip line cable. You will also need to account for an additional 2% of sag with a rider on the zip line. See the diagram below.
Check out our full guide on zip line site selection.
Choosing your zip line equipment
After determining your zip line site and applicable slope, you will need the appropriate zip line equipment. Your equipment needs will vary depending on the length of your zip line run and its height above the ground. The following kits are an excellent fit for zip lines of 200' or less in length:
Viper Zip Line Kit
Viper Deluxe Zip Line Kit
For zip lines over 200' in length, look for a kit similar to the QuickSilver Zip Line Kit.
Or, you can build your own zip line kit.
If your zip line height above the ground will be a distance that could result in injury after an accidental fall then you will need to purchase a zip line harness. If your zip line height is lower to the ground then your zip line riders can enjoy their exciting ride on a handlebar or a Cobra Zip Line Seat.
Check out our handy guide on buying attachments and accessories for your zip line.
Depending on which kit you purchase, the installation on your zip line will vary. In either case you will most likely need to use a Zip Line Tensioning Kit. This handy device is a life-saver when it comes to set-up and install. Best of all it is returnable after use for a 100% refund.
Your first step will be to set the main cable by extending both turnbuckles and attaching them to your anchors with the cable slings. You will be stretching the cable from one turnbuckle to the other (if you have 2 turnbuckles in use, otherwise see the Viper Zip Line Kit Installation).
Step A: Attach the looped end of your main cable to the turnbuckle on which ever end is least accessible.
Step B: Unwind your cable to the opposite end, pull it as tight as possible (by hand), and attach your come-along or tensioning device to the cable via the cable grab.
Step C: Crank your tensioning device until the cable hangs near the desired height.
Step D: Bring up the slack end of the cable, and fix it to the other turnbuckle using your cable clamps and thimble as shown in the diagram below. Position the clamps so the U-bolt is against the folded-back end of the cable.
These steps are modified and pulled from our QuickSilver Zip Line Kit Installation Manual. You can find all of our zip line kit installation manuals below:
QuickSilver Zip Line Kit Installation Manual
Viper Zip Line Kit Installation Manual
Bungee Brake Installation
Most zip line kits will have a Boa Bungee Brake Kit in the package. These brakes are pretty simple to install.
Your bungee stop is installed near the end of your zip line to catch the pulley and slow it down to a stop. The block should be bolted together around the cable, with the rubber pad facing the top of the ride. The 30' bungee cord then runs from the block to the anchor lag screw, which can be screwed into a nearby tree or post (use the 3/8" quick links to connect the bungee cord to the anchor and the block). The bungee cord has a safe stretch limit of 175%, so make sure the cord is NOT stretching to more than 50' when riders are hitting the brake. If you are stretching it longer than 50', try doubling the bungee back so that you have two 15' cords providing increased resistance, and make sure these are not stretching past 25' in length. If you are still over extending your bungee, you will need to purchase more bungee cord or decrease the slope of your zip line.
Assemble your riding equipment
Most zip line kits will come with a few components to assemble together for each rider. The trolley will typically be removable from the zip line, except for the Viper which is made to stay on the zip line. This trolley will have various attachments that can lock on it via carabiners, such as handlebars, seats, and harnesses.
Test your new zip line
Weight Test: The weight test should be done at the center of the zip line with at least 350lbs of load (hang a rope from the pulley and have two adults bounce their weight on it). Then check/retighten all cable clamps, bungee block bolts, and turnbuckles. Never exceed 350lbs in the actual operation of the zip line.
Speed Test: Have a test rider sit on the seat, and lower them down the zip line by walking or running alongside them holding a rope attached to the pulley. Increase the speed of each run until you are confident that the zip line will not be too fast or over extend the bungee brake if the riders are allowed to zip freely. Once accomplished, your zip line is ready to roll!

Re: Yulia Beygelzimer cheering thread
Yulia at 111 now - Number 3 on next in to MD at Roland Garros - may well squeak in.
The choice of small ITF events to ensure sufficient points for Roland Garros backfired - one win in one of the 25K events would have got her the last place in the MD for RG.
Surely only way forward is to play with the big girls ? - Could have played IW and Miami followed by Charleston. A couple of good results would see her in Top 100 again. Need to step up to the WTA tour now ranking high enough. Seems very odd not to have done so.
Yulia is WTAing next week - Budapest - GOOD LUCK and PLAY THE TOURNAMENTS YOUR HARD WORK HAS GIVEN YOU.

Testosterone Supplementation in Women with Diminished Ovarian Reserve to be Studied in CHR Clinical Trial
New York City fertility clinic Center for Human Reproduction is initiating a new clinical trial to study testosterone supplementation as a treatment for poor ovarian reserve.
New York, NY (PRWEB) August 20, 2012
Center for Human Reproduction (CHR), a leading fertility research and treatment center in New York City, has announced a new prospectively randomized controlled clinical trial to investigate the effects of testosterone supplementation in women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR).
The study is designed to determine whether transdermal (applied through the skin) supplementation with testosterone in women with DOR may (i) objectively improve ovarian reserve parameters, (ii) improve egg quality and embryo quality, and (iii) improve IVF pregnancy rates if testosterone levels have remained low after six weeks of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) supplementation.
CHR introduced DHEA supplementation for women with DOR to the infertility field in 2004, and this treatment is now utilized worldwide. More recently, CHR investigators were able to produce evidence that the efficacy of DHEA is very likely mediated by the male hormone testosterone, to which DHEA is mostly converted in the body. The new randomized controlled trial will investigate whether women whose testosterone levels do not rise well after DHEA supplementation may benefit from direct testosterone administration.
"This study took longer than usual to get off the ground after approval by our center´s Institutional Review Board," noted David H. Barad, MD, one of the principal investigators and Director of the Center´s Clinical Assisted Reproduction Program. "Since testosterone in this country is considered a controlled substance, we had to obtain permits from the State of New York and the Federal Government first."
Norbert Gleicher, MD, another principal investigator and Medical Director of CHR, adds: "Androgens, like DHEA, are becoming increasingly important tools in treating women of all ages with poor ovarian reserve. We are now on track to determine how this is best done most effectively and individualized to each patient."
About Center for Human Reproduction
The Center for Human Reproduction (CHR, http://www.centerforhumanreprod.com/), located in New York City, is one of the world´s leading fertility centers. Because of its worldwide reputation as "fertility center of last resort," CHR has a worldwide patient following among women with DOR, whether due to advanced age, or due to premature ovarian aging (POA). Dr. Barad and Dr. Gleicher are available for further comments.

Fellsmere will soon become a pachyderm paradise
The city of Fellsmere, at the junction of County Roads 512 and 507, is probably best known for a frog leg festival every January. But 250-acres of old orange groves by the county line will soon be home to something a bit bigger... elephants.
Tuesday, the directors of the National Elephant Center outlined their plans before the Sebastian River Area Chamber of Commerce. The center is a collaboration of 73 zoos nationwide, and could eventually be a retirement home for the nearly 300 elephants in those participating zoos.
"It's also going to be a training center for people to come and learn the best methods for managing elephants," said John Lehnhardt, the Executive Director of the National Elephant Center.
Managing the elephants was an issue when the facility was first discussed in St. Lucie County two years ago. Animal rights groups spoke out against the use of bull hooks, or guides used to control the elephants. Lehnhardt says they will not be used in regular operations and the keepers will not have close interaction with the animals.
"So all elephants that come to us will immediately move into what we call protective contact, that is they will always be worked with a barrier in between us," said Lehnhardt.
"We have different tools when we're in that system. We have a target and a clicker and lots of food reinforcement so when the animal is compliant in their behavior, they get positive reinforcement, added Elephant Center CEO Jeff Bolling.
The Chamber looks at this newest non-profit member as an interesting addition. "Hopefully our business community will respond to them and their needs in terms of volunteers and perhaps funding," said Beth Mitchell, the Executive Director of the Chamber.
While the facility will only be open for limited public tours, the city of Fellsmere is looking for ways to take advantage.
Fellsmere City Manager Jason Nunemaker said the center is,"an opportunity for us to utilize our green space and make it productive and something that's really unique and fits with what we're trying to do as far as eco-tourism."
The plan is to break ground in the next four weeks and have eight to ten elephants on the property by the end of the year.

Tim Tebow's Prayer Request at Scouting Combine Met With "Shut the F*ck Up"
Categories: Sports
Tebow is participating in the NFL scouting combine, and players are given what's known as the Wonderlic test. Before Tebow's group took the 12-minute, 50-question exam, he asked the proctor if everyone could bow their heads in prayer -- you know, before asking any of the other players if they wanted to pray.
According to NBC Sports, this is how one of the other players responded: "Shut the fuck up." Other players in the room cracked up.
NBC Sports theorizes that Tebow's very public religious zeal could be a problem for some NFL teams. In a perfect world, Tebow's fundamental faith shouldn't be disrespected any more than he should push it on others.

joe blough Says:
November 23rd, 2007 at 1:52 amI'll butt in, though I daresay that my 2 cents will likely be received skeptically at best, and perhaps deservedly so.
First off, my compliments on the site and the Fox appearance (which is my reason for looking at the site).
That said, now I'll point out something that is not much discussed in the media, but which I consider central to the issues of the day, and which the ladies of the nation are apt to have a particular understanding of.
The two great inimical forces we face on the global scene are China, and the mohammedan bloc (about 1 billion people apiece making up together about 35% of humanity) — and make no mistake about their self-declared enmity toward us.
So what does their human picture look like?
China – This is a culture that jails women for having more than one child. I'll add that this is also a culture that decides, commonly and normally, that THAT is a good reason to abort their daughters. (Think about that. Female children are considered inferior).
More to the point, the normal human population balance is 49% male, 51% female. China is WAY out of balance on the male side, with a genuine male majority.
So consider, here is a nation with literally MILLIONS of unmarried, unmatched, lonesome angry males with nobody to take the edge off and civilize them.
Who do we have that knows how to confront and control several million angry rogue males?
The mohammedan bloc – Assuming you glance at the news occasionally you will have noticed that these countries all have cultures which are characterized by male dominance carried to its most brutal and primitive extreme — i.e. obedience, blood and murder.
"Honor killings" as they are daintily referred to in the news, are murders of women who have, however secretively, disobeyed their fathers or brothers. And they are common enough to be happening even in Canada among the mohammedans there.
In the hills of Pakistan, gang-raping a female relative is a way of punishing young men who defy the local authorities or those of the neighboring tribes. To do so seems normal to them.
Whenever asked, they insist that their way of doing things is superior to ours and they want to bring it here.
Again, who do we have in our presidential wannabe line-up who can confront millions of angry brutes and subdue them?
Clearly the women in those societies have not succeeded in containing their own men, for whatever reason — good or bad.
How do we confront them?
For surely they are seeking to confront us.
