- Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel: "Yao versus Dwight [Howard]. Has a nice ring to it, right? But Friday night's game between the Houston Rockets and the Orlando Magic at Amway Center will not feature a matchup of two the game's most dominant centers. Injury-plagued Rockets center Yao Ming played just five games this season before the team pronounced him out for the rest of the year. On Thursday, he underwent surgery to repair a stress fracture in his left ankle, an operation that may force him to retire. […] As saddening as Yao's injury troubles are for him as a person, it's also clear that his absence hurts the sport as a whole. Millions of people in his native China started to follow the NBA when he joined the Rockets for the 2002-03 season. He missed only two games in his first three seasons. In a league with few quality traditional centers, it figured that he would eventually develop a natural rivalry with the Magic's cornerstone player, Howard. The marketing possibilities seemed limitless. Both players possess undeniable charisma and skill. Yao is the greatest basketball player ever to come out of the Far East. Howard is the latest dominant American center, and his bubbly personality complements his power game. That rivalry never materialized fully, despite its promise."
- Zach McCann of the Orlando Sentinel: "Courtney Lee is one of the few ex-Magic players who hears nothing but cheers when he returns to Orlando. Some players get booed (Grant Hill, T-Mac) and some get indifference (most others), but Lee will hear nothing but applause when he comes off the bench tonight for the Houston Rockets."
- Head coach Stan Van Gundy has settled on a starting lineup.
- Dwight Howard will likely share the All-Star stage with his fiercest rivals.
- Evan Dunlap of Orlando Pinstriped Post: "It's fair to say Smith's trades have paid off in the short term, resulting in victories as well as improvements in areas he cited as specific needs. But the bigger goal for this team is to win a championship, so quite obviously it's too early to tell if Smith's gambit will work in that respect. But after a discouraging, dispirited start to the season, Orlando's back on track and charging hard in the Eastern Conference. The offense has played no small part in that rapid improvement."
- Scott Carefoot of The Basketball Jones: "Magic coach Stan Van Gundy says "There is no one in the league who has a bigger impact on a game than Dwight" and it's hard to argue with him. Unfortunately, MVP voters tend to favor players who are among the leading scorers so Howard probably isn't going to win that award until the season he leads the Magic to the best record in the NBA. Since Orlando is 23-12 at the moment with seven teams ahead of them in the standings, this probably won't be that season. As for a third consecutive Defensive Player of the Year Award, that's basically a lock unless he gets hurt."
- Zach Lowe of The Point Forward thinks the 10-second free-throw rule is silly.
- The Amway Center is an impressive-looking arena inside.

Aerial View of Memorial Quadrant
To honor those who were killed in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, as well as the February 26, 1993, attack, the LMDC held a competition for the design of a memorial at the World Trade Center site. In January 2004, the scheme Reflecting Absence by architect Michael Arad and landscape architect Peter Walker was selected. Davis Brody Bond was selected as the associate architect to execute the design of the memorial in April 2004 and was later commissioned as design architect for the memorial museum in December 2004.
Intended as a solemn space where visitors can remember and honor the thousands of lives lost on September 11, 2001, and February 26, 1993, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum will feature three levels descending below ground and will provide access to the original foundation of the twin towers. In this and other ways, the designers set out to create a powerful experience that will remove visitors - physically and emotionally - from the city and everyday life.
"The design strives to make visible what is absent," Michael Arad said. "The primary responsibility we have is to those we lost that day."
At street level, visitors to the memorial will be greeted by a plaza filled with hundreds of oak trees, intended to create a contemplative space separate from the sights and sounds of the surrounding city. The above-ground forest will stretch across one and a half acres and have at its center two large voids - cascading pools sunken 30 feet into the footprints of the twin towers - that will serve as open and visible reminders of the absence of those lost.
The entrance to the museum will be located on the memorial plaza. Visitors will descend to an orientation area and then farther down to the first main exhibition level. An extensive collection of artifacts, ranging from salvaged building elements of monumental size to modest personal mementos, will be included in the museum exhibits. At this level, the precise spot where a truck bomb was detonated in 1993 is marked. Here, visitors will be able to decide whether to bypass the most sensitive exhibits or not. The final level of the museum will reach nearly to bedrock, between the footprints of the two towers.
Descending from the plaza level, visitors will make their way down two switchback ramps, each as long as a city block, that will take them 30 feet below ground into a central memorial hall. Here, the names of the victims from both terrorist attacks will be inscribed on low parapets encircling each pool. Memorial Hall, filling the space between the reflecting pools, will offer a vast gathering place where visitors can sit and reflect and events can be held.
As visitors descend below the memorial voids, they will reach bedrock, where they can touch the jagged steel and rough concrete of the 70-foot slurry wall that held back the Hudson River during the attacks as well as other remaining structures at the foundation of the site. Here, at the bottom-most level of the site, a room will be set aside for quiet contemplation. At its center, a mausoleum, to be called Memorial Center, will house the unidentified remains of victims gathered in the aftermath of 9/11. A private room, too, will exist at bedrock level, reserved as a space for victims' families to gather and share their memories. A visit to the memorial will conclude in the ascent back to ground level.
The design and construction of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum will be one of the most significant undertakings in the history of New York City and a focal point for the revitalization of Lower Manhattan.

A Daughter's Lasting Tribute
Like many children growing up during the Great Depression, Rosemary P. Ramsey's parents had to quit school in order to assist their families financially. Yet they valued education so dearly that they insisted their two daughters receive a private education at Springfield Catholic Central High School. So her dad worked two jobs to make it a reality.
It was these values instilled in her by her parents that drove Ramsey to be the first in her family to attend college—and she chose Wright State University. "Had it not been for Wright State, I don't know if I would even have a bachelor's degree," she explained.
As a loving tribute to her parents, she established the Claude and Helen Ramsey Memorial Scholarship Fund. It acknowledges the three forces that have been so instrumental in her life: her parents, her high school, and Wright State. The scholarship is designated for Springfield Catholic Central High School graduates who major in any field within the Raj Soin College of Business. Read more »

Hospital admits to burning aborted babies in waste incinerator By JAMES SLACK 23rd October 2006 One of the country's leading hospitals is throwing aborted babies into the same incinerator used for rubbish to save only Ă'ÂŁ18.50 each time, it has emerged. Addenbrooke's Hospital, in Cambridge, said it was no longer able to afford the dignified disposal at a local crematorium of foetuses from unwanted pregnancies. Instead, they are being burnt in the hospital's main incinerator - which is normally used for rubbish and clinical waste. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/li...770&in_page_id=1770&expand=true#StartComments
I am amazed at the 'mother' who was distressed that the Hospital burned her 'dead baby' rahter than bury the baby. Wait a minute she's talking about the baby she decided to murder.... cognative dissonance anyone? Goofy libs.
That's truly despicable. There is no reason for that, and at the very least out of respect to those who believe that abortion is murder, the aborted babies should be treated with dignity. I also believe in many cases, women who have abortions go through a period of mourning, and would want the fetus treated with respect.
im with patsfan13. if they hadnt had the "fetus" killed to begin with this possibility wouldnt exist. As if the idea of "dignified disposal" is somehow palatable. Maybe this story is a very good thing, so people can think about what actually happens when this "choice" is made.
Of course the begs the issue, since it is just a lump of tissue andnot a human life... What is there to respect? What is there ot mourn? Don't bother answering we all know the answer... A HUMAN BABY HAS BEEN DELIBERATLY KILLED. This is why when a pregnant woman is killed the family mourns the deead child also. This is why laws recognize 2 victims, and yet we ignore killing children by calling it choice. Liberial Cognative Dissonance.
Mourning? The person just KILLED there baby, treating the fetus with RESPECT? You know what the most respectful thing you can do? How about not murdering your baby. Holy ****, I can't believe someone actually thinks the way some liberals do, boggles the mind.
Now that is comical. Aren't you for abortion on demand? You're an "it's my body" member aren't you? You demand the right to shop-vac a baby while getting a manicure, then have the gual to say that you find their being tossed in the trash dispicable? :rofl:
I cannot stand abortion ... such a horrific thing allowed by law ... I cannot comprehend it at all except for medical emergencies. I think all women who have an abortion should be made to see the aborted fetus after the abortion and prepare it for disposal .... How many "I made a mistake" testimonials would we then see?
not just woman. Men have a responsibility in this too. Too many men are just as glad to have the "problem" eliminated in the name of the "womans choice" Ive been saying for some time that people who think its a grand "choice" should watch one first, and then tell me the same thing.
It amazes me that so many of you have such a simplistic understanding of abortion. You seem to think that for these women, abortion is nothing more than a standard procedure. You seem to think that for these women, it's not an emotional and difficult decision. You seem to forget that many women who have abortions are religious and some even regard abortion as a terrible thing. Your utter contempt for those women who make the extremely difficult decision to have an abortion makes me think you don't care for human life, you care for power over women. You have no sympathy for the impoverished, frightened women who make this difficult decision. The real tragedy in this is your utter lack of compassion for human beings, some of them victims of all sorts of abuse or lacking anyone to help them out (due in part to tax cuts to social programs). If you're really against abortion then you would want to do more for kids and mothers in terms of health care, day care, job training, and time off. I believe most of you are hypocrites, and seeing how you for so long embraced a war that's killed thousands of innocent people, I don't believe you give a damn for the "unborn."
how did you make the leap that any of us are against doing more in terms of healthcare, daycare, job training, and time off? And are for the war? Im a Democrat. Im for all those things you mentioned and im against the war. Why dont these women take responsibility and access the alternative of adoption? did you actually say we dont care for human life because we think abortion is wrong?
Ah, a little Liberial elitism and hubris to start with. If the really regarded killing their children as a terrible thing they wouldn't KILL them. They have other options like putting the children ip for adoption. Oh goodie the bleeding heart liberial indignation stereotype speeh. I don't have contempt for the women who have the abortions (in most cases), I do have contempt for the liberial social values and the feminist who denigrate the worth of the children being killed in the pursuit of their political agenda. Liberials love to talk about their compassion for the women who choose (for whatever reasons) to kill their children, but none for the innoncent babies that are being butchered. I don't want power over women anymore than I want power over sexual preadtors, I want the innoncent protected. How about YOUR compassion for babies who have never harmed anyone being killed as a matter of socual convience. Birth control is freely available, if people took responsibility for their actions we would need the expansive social programs you are so enamoured of. Most abortions aren't done because of the lack of welfare programs. Indeed it is the poor who tend to have more live births per capita than the middle class and wealthy. BTW how does you theory account for the massive # of abortions in Europe the socialist paradise the libs want to emulate? Indeed there is a direct correlation between how far to the left a country is and the # of abortions, see Russia and the Eastern lBlock with 'free' health care and day care and so on but more abortions than live births. Sorry your premise is BS IMO.
Yes...men do have something to do with this ... especially when they have no value for human life and intentionally get women pregnant so they can have a welfare house to live free in.... making a life = free ride.
So even if the 'baby' is smaller than a quarter, it should get a full funeral, casket, grave liner and headstone? Should they also figure out weather its a boy or a girl and put a Catcher's Mitt or a Dora the Explorer doll in the casket with the child too? I just don't see a Doctor taking an aborted fetus and shooting it into the nearest garbage can like its a Basketball with the nurse giving him a high five if he hits from three-point-land, and then having that fetus burned along with the day's garbage; but that's just me. I know I'm an optimist, maybe I'm naive too?
I wasn't referring to you, 3 to be 4. I was referring to the righties who posted and continue to post harsh and political comments (as Patsfan13 does) about an issue that for many women, regardless of their stand, is deeply personal, difficult, and painful. I know, unlike patsfan13, you wouldn't avoid the issue of social benefits to accuse me, feminists, and others of "liberal indignation" and then, after politicizing the issue, accuse me of politicizing the issue! The issue has a political component, of course, but the tone of all the anti-abortion people in this thread, except you, is cold, sarcastic, and insensitive to the women who feel they must have abortions. I believe the right-wing morality is designed around low taxes, not compassion, and that's why it's so easy for them to oppose abortion (especially federal funding), gay rights (no cost), and even things like environmental protection (very expensive). Further, patsfan13, unlike you, tends to throw out facts without backing them up. For instance, his claim about widespread abortion in liberal Europe is not supported by the facts: http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/journals/25s3099.html It appears that some of the most liberal and caring countries -- like Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, not to mention France and Spain, have a lower incidence of abortion than the U.S. Perhaps he'll use his same reasoning to conclude that our conservative (anti-social program) values have driven many women into a state where they the need to have abortions. But, of course, he won't use his same reasoning to conclude that, because as I already said, the motive of many anti-abortion people has little or even nothing to do with being pro-life.
Liberals could be talking about a blizzard up in the North Pole and it wouldn't be long before that word "healthcare" or "poor people" would be thrown in there, the poor people in America have "medicaid" liberals never mention it, the people on Medicaid get better health care than I do, I paid $281 to have a tooth filled, poor people get the same thing for nothing. The liberals want the USA to go "Communist", they want the truck drivers, carpenters, firefighters, cops, and rubbish men to be "Poor People". As Al Pacino would say "F-ck Them"
I'm a little late to this but . . . wow. You're OK having a baby torn to pieces inside what should be the safest place in the world - it's mother . . . but then you want it treated with respect ? Do you mean all the decapitated pieces, or just some of them

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Ashlar is finely dressed (cut, worked) masonry, either an individual stone that has been worked until squared or the masonry built of such stone. It is the finest stone masonry unit, generally cuboid or less frequently trapezoidal. Precisely cut "on all faces adjacent to those of other stones", ashlar is capable of very thin joints between blocks, and the visible face of the stone may be as quarry-faced or feature a variety of treatments: tooled, smoothly polished or rendered with another material for decorative effect.[1][2]
One such decorative treatment consists of small grooves achieved by the application of a metal comb. Generally used only on softer stone ashlar, this decoration is known as mason's drag.[3]
Ashlar is in contrast to rubble masonry, which employs irregularly shaped stones, although sometimes minimally worked or selected for similar size, or both. Ashlar is related but distinct from other stone masonry that is finely dressed but not quadrilateral, such as curvilinear masonry and polygonal masonry.[2][4]
Ashlar may be coursed, which involves lengthy horizontal courses of stone blocks laid in parallel, and therefore with continuous horizontal joints. Ashlar may also be random, which involves stone blocks laid with deliberately discontinuous courses and therefore discontinuous joints both vertically and horizontally. In either case, it generally uses a joining material such as mortar to bind the blocks together, although dry ashlar construction, metal ties, and other methods of assembly have been used in the past.
Middle English: from Old French aisselier, from Latin axilla, diminutive of axis, 'plank.'
Ashlar blocks have been used in the construction of many buildings as an alternative to brick or other materials.
In classical architecture, ashlar wall surfaces were contrasted with rustication.
The term is frequently used to describe the dressed stone work of prehistoric Greece and Crete, although the dressed blocks are usually much larger than modern ashlar. For example, the tholos tombs of Bronze Age Mycenae use ashlar masonry in the construction of the so-called "beehive" dome. This dome consists of finely cut ashlar blocks that decrease in size and terminate in a central capstone.[5] These domes are not true domes, but are constructed using the corbel arch.
Ashlar masonry is also heavily used in the construction of palace facades on Crete, including Knossos and Phaistos. These constructions date to the MM III-LM Ib period, ca. 1700–1450 BC.
In modern European masonry the blocks are generally about 35 centimetres (14 in) in height. When shorter than 30 centimetres (12 in), they are usually called small ashlar.
In some Masonic groupings, which such societies term jurisdictions, ashlars are used as a symbolic metaphor for progress. As described in the explanation of the First Degree Tracing Board, in Emulation (and other) rituals the rough ashlar is a stone as taken directly from the quarry, and allegorically represents the Freemason prior to his initiation; a smooth ashlar (or "perfect ashlar") is a stone that has been smoothed and dressed by the experienced stonemason, and allegorically represents the Freemason who, through education and diligence, has learned the lessons of Freemasonry and who lives an upstanding life.[citation needed]

If you do find success I'd like to hear the steps taken for future reference.
I have one Adcenter account and within that I have two Site accounts (one for each site), I need to move one campaign from the site A account to the Site B account,
I was going to just export the campaign then import it, but i'm not sure if that would work as I have a feeling i may lose some data,
Does it cost extra to get the Microsoft guys to move campigns for you?, as i need to confirm everything with the boss
I would recommend pausing the campaign (in the original account) being moved, not delete it until you are fully satisfied with the results of the move and have all the history data you need.
[edited by: MadeWillis at 2:16 pm (utc) on Feb. 28, 2008]
Update, I contact MS Adcenter support and they put me on to Quicklaunch which is apparently free.
Has anyone had experience with them? or knows anymore about them
I have copied the campaign across myself, really easy to do, just needed to go to the second account select create new campaign The select the option to import keywords and ads from existing campaign
Were you able to transfer all history associated with those keywords?
however I paused the old campaign so i can compare the two if needed

New QB steps in for Norton
Published on -9/4/2012, 10:48 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
By CONOR NICHOLL
NORTON -- Norton Community High School senior Dalton Miller was close to earning the starting quarterback job last season, but ended up as the backup to Jordan Wahlmeier. The Bluejays finished 3-6 as Wahlmeier completed 49-of-133 passes for 876 yards with nine touchdowns against 10 interceptions.
That included a 2-of-11 performance for 19 yards with no touchdowns against two interceptions in a blowout loss versus Smith Center. Miller threw just two passes, both incomplete, all year.
On Friday, Miller had his first career start and delivered a performance on par, or better, than the Bluejays' past several starters, several of whom earned all-league honors.
Miller completed 11-of-17 passes for 153 yards with one touchdown with no interceptions, and rushed for one score in the Bluejays' 34-13 season-opening home victory against Smith Center at Travis Field.
"That's what he has been doing at practice, he has been making good decisions with the ball," Bluejay coach Lucas Melvin said. "He throws it right pretty much where it needs to be. That's obviously a huge benefit for our offense and kudos to Dalton."
Since 2006, Miller is the fifth quarterback to start for Norton, joining Logan Kats, Connor Pfannenstiel, Spencer Shirk and Wahlmeier. Those four quarterbacks averaged between 74 and 97 passing yards per contest.
Wahlmeier had the lowest quarterback rating of the group at 99.5, according to the NCAA efficiency formula available at stassen.com. The rest of the other starters produced at least a 120.1. Shirk, known for his heady play, led the group with a 157.4 in a 9-1 season in 2010.
Miller produced a quarterback rating of 159.7.
"He has stepped up," Melvin said.
Miller found a variety of receivers, especially on short routes. Five Bluejays caught a pass, including five catches for 92 yards and a touchdown from senior Andrew Ellis, also making his first varsity start.
"We look for whoever is open," Miller said. "We don't really look at one guy."
In the offseason, Miller, Ellis and senior Jacob Brooks, the team's top returning offensive player who rushed for a team-high 99 yards and caught two passes, went up to the practice field several times in the summer to work on routes.
"It helped a lot," Miller said. "We came together. We weren't very good and then our timing, it got down real good."
"It's good to know that our hard work paid off, but we have got to keep going hard," Ellis added. "It's a good relationship between me and Dalton. We played last year on junior varsity. It's always fun when he is throwing."
After the game, the Norton players wore smiles as they received congratulations from friends, family and fans on the field. Near the end, Brooks, Miller and Ellis joined together for a photo to punctuate the victory.
"They are my best friends," Brook said. "We always hang out. We have dreamed of this since we were little kids, since we were playing WKFL, saying that we were going to start at football, just play at varsity. This is great. This whole thing is great. The team played awesome."
Line plays well
Norton went against Smith Center's offensive and defensive lines that didn't return a single starter from last season. Senior lineman Lucas Engel didn't look at the Redmen's line as being young, though.
"You try not to look at it that way," Engel said. "We try to look at it as they are the other team's line and we've just got to go out there and do better than they do."
Norton played better up front, especially in the second half. Smith Center scored once after intermission when it tacked on a virtually inconsequential score with five seconds left.
"Of course, they are experienced," Smith Center coach Roger Barta said. "Most of those kids played last year and we are in the process of learning how to play."
Engel recorded two tackles for loss, including a sack. Junior Cole Renner had a fumble recovery and 0.5 tackle for loss. Senior Dylan Sprigg collected a sack and fumble recovery. Junior Kolton Harting collected a sack.
The linebackers and defensive backs also made some big plays. Ellis had a sack and a quarterback hurry, and senior linebacker John Risewick also collected a tackle for loss.
"They are a part that we are going to rely on doing well," Melvin said. "To me, in high school football, if you have a good line, then a lot of things can happen."
Molzahn steps up
Smith Center junior Kody Molzahn, seeing significant carries for the first time in his young career, led the Redmen with 13 carries for 149 yards and caught one pass, a 60-yard touchdown. Molzahn also tallied an 80-yard run for a TD.
"Kody is a good athlete and he is a good competitor. ... and he plays hard and he is a smart kid," Barta said.
Smith Center has another difficult test this Friday with a road game at Beloit. The Redmen haven't lost a regular season non-conference contest since a Week 8 defeat to Beloit in 2002.
"It doesn't get any easier, no, then we have got Phillipsburg (in Week 4) after that," Barta said. "It's a tough road to go."

A little bit south and a little bit west of downtown Montreal sits Saint-Henri. Though it gets a lot of press for being one of the city's most "up-and-coming" neighbourhoods, the real key to Saint-Henri is that it is still very much what it always was…

Patch 4.0.1 introduces reforging into the game
There are a few restrictions:
- You can only change secondary stats (hit, crit, haste, mana regen, dodge, etc.).
- Only one stat may be changed.
- You can't change one stat into a different stat the item already has.
- You can't alter how much of the stat to change; it's always 40 percent(ish) of the original amount.
- The item must have an item level of at least 200 (level 80 epics or higher).
Where can you find these reforging guys? They are usually found in major cities near the enchanting trainers. If you can't find them, be sure to ask a guard, who'll point you in the right direction.
All in all, the reforging system is pretty simple and provides the opportunity for us to start trying out the new mastery stat without waiting for Cataclysm itself to be released. If you'd like to take a look at how this works, here's a gallery walking you the process through step by step.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback says he hopes to see President Barack Obama when he makes a visit Friday to Lawrence.
The Republican governor says Tuesday that he hasn't been invited to attend Obama's event at the University of Kansas but plans to go if he is asked to attend.
Obama hasn't said why he is visiting Kansas. State Democratic leaders say they have been asked to find a venue that could hold between 3,000 and 6,000 people for the president's appearance.
Brownback joked that maybe he and Obama, an avid basketball fan, could shoot a few hoops during the visit. Lawrence is home to the Kansas Jayhawks, who lost to Michigan in the NCAA tournament.

The paper presents the design of a hardware genetic algorithm which uses a pipeline of systolic arrays. Demonstrated is the design methodology where a simple genetic algorithm expressed in C source code is progressively re-written into a recurrence form from which systolic structures can be deduced. The paper extends previous work by the authors by introducing a simplification to a previous systolic design.

The term infertility refers to failure of conception even after one full year of unprotected sexual intercourse. It is a complex problem with diagnostic and treatment challenges and which may have psychosocial and economic repercussions.
About 1 in every 7 couples in the United Kingdom suffers from infertility disorders. The female partner contributes to about 30% of cases which is the same as that of males (30%). Another 10% causes are combined and the remaining 30% are unexplained. The incidence of infertility in women especially seems to augment with increasing age. The fertility in a woman usually begins to decline after the age of 30 years.
The symptoms of infertility usually arise from the underlying causes which may include hormonal disorders, localised ovarian or uterine problem, premature or delayed puberty.
The diagnosis of female infertility includes detailed history and comprehensive physical examination (including gynaecological examination) of female individual along with her male partner. Investigations like blood hormone levels, endometrial biopsy or laparoscopic evaluation may be done to detect the cause of infertility in a woman. Her male partner may need to get semen analysis to rule out any disorder in him.
Several causes may lead to female infertility which includes generalised disorders or localised reproductive tract disorders. Generalised causes include diabetes, thyroid disorder, adrenal gland disorder, pituitary insufficiency, obesity, malnourishment or eating disorders like anorexia.
Localised causes of female infertility include polycystic ovarian disease, fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian dysfunction or blockages in the fallopian tube. Other causes include toxins (tobacco, alcohol) and emotional stress which may also contribute to female infertility. In fact, the localised causes like polycystic ovarian disease, fibroids, and endometriosis are the commonest causes which are implicated in female infertility.
Infertility is a disorder which may lead to immense psychological stress and increased anxiety.
The first and foremost step in treatment of female infertility includes evaluation and subsequent management of underlying cause; for example, management of polycystic ovarian disease by hormonal medications and pelvic inflammatory diseases by antibiotic medications.
If the couple is not able to get successful results, then other treatment modalities may be tried. The affected female can be given ovarian stimulation drugs (if needed) like clomiphene, which may be either followed by "intrauterine insemination" (IUI) or "assisted reproductive techniques" (ART). Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a procedure wherein the sperm is introduced in the female's uterus during ovulation period for effective fertilization to occur inside the human body. The success rate of this procedure is not very high. However with the advent of assisted reproductive techniques" (ART) which includes in vitro fertilization (IVF), infertility management has not a new hope. This procedure follows ovarian stimulation by drugs and involves extraction of eggs from ovary (female) and sperms from male partner. This is followed by external fertilization of eggs and sperms in a laboratory setting. Thereafter the fertilized egg (embryo) is reinstated into the uterus of the female, for normal pregnancy to ensue. The treatment of infertility should be ideally tailored according to each couple depending upon the cause, health status and economic status of the couple.
