Telomeres Gene & Reversing Aging
Dear Friend and Fellow Athlete,
Wrinkles, decreased brain function and gray hair are looked at as an acceptable part of aging. However, these problems may be a thing of the past since scientists at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute recently discovered a medical breakthrough that can reverse aging.
I don't know about you, but growing older scares me to death! After all, who wants to develop joint problems, lose libido, produce less testosterone and develop a wrinkly face that says to all of the hotties, "I'm no longer a sexual option for you."
It's a pretty rhetorical question since I'm sure that none of you enjoy the thought of aging. But the sad thing is that no matter if you're 20 years old or 45 years old, we all are slowly advancing down the old age tunnel.
So is there any sign of encouragement that can comfort us in regards to aging? Well at first I didn't think so... until I recently heard on the Brian Lehrer Show that scientists may have developed an amazing breakthrough that can actually reverse the aging process! Here are the details on what happened during the show.

Breakthrough Reverse Aging Study
If you're unaware of whom Brian Lehrer is, he's an award-winning radio talk show host from New York City. Lehrer is also a former NBC anchorman who runs a two-hour daily show called "The Brian Lehrer Show." On the latest episode of his show, Lehrer featured Dr. Ronald A. DePinho from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; DePinho is also Professor of Medicine at the Harvard Medical Institute.
The reason why DePinho was on the show is because his team recently conducted a major study on the aging process. DePinho wanted to study the effects of what manipulating an enzyme called telomerase would do to DNA sequencing (telomerase was discovered just last year). Seeing as how many of the nasty aging side effects are related to "excessive DNA damage," as DePinho put it, manipulating telomerase was bound to have some effect on the aging process.
After being introduced on the show, DePinho went into detail about the experiment by saying, "What we did in this study was to engineer mice with a telomerase gene that could be toggled on and off in an artificial way. And the 'off' state, as you described, these mice were very aged, they aged very rapidly, they had shortened life spans, they manifested many signs of advanced age like impaired brain function, gray hair, organ atrophy, infertility and so on."
DePinho further described the study by saying, "And what we did with these mice, with these entrenched degenerative disease, we flipped the telomerase gene back on. And frankly what we were expecting was slowly or stabilization of the aging process, and instead, we witnessed a dramatic reversal in the signs and symptoms of aging."
So what exactly were the signs of aging that were reversed? DePinho shed some light on this by adding, "The shrunken brains were increased back near normal, cognitive functions improved." He also added, "The coat hair was restored to a healthy sheen, and fertility was also restored. If you look, for example, in the testes of these animals, the sperm was very under populated in these animals, virtually almost no sperm left in the testes. And after just one month of turning this gene back on and erasing the underlying cause, what we found was that the cellularity returned, and the fertility of these animals were also restored."
As you can see, just by manipulating one enzyme, DePinho and his team were able to produce some pretty amazing results on the mice. But where do the results of this study rank in regards to the history of anti-aging studies?
Groundbreaking Results
After hearing all of this, Lehrer made the following observation, "So when you take all of these things together, it sounds extremely dramatic. I mean it's not quite Benjamin Button, but maybe it's not that far off."
This prompted DePinho to mention just how groundbreaking this study was as he said, "Well it certainly is the first time that an aged state equivalent to what might be seen in a human in their 8th and 9th decade of life has been reversed in an animal."
And while it's just mice, the fact that DePinho and his team are the first to reverse aging in animals is incredible! However, you still have to wonder if this study means that we're any closer to producing the same results in humans.
How does DePinho's Study impact Humans?
Even with the amazing results from DePinho's study, you wouldn't guess that we're close to replicating the same results in humans.
Interestingly enough though, DePinho believes that we are somewhat closer as he said, "The implications for humans, obviously we have a lot more research to do, but many of the basic observations that we've made in genetically engineered mice have directly illuminated a path towards translational efforts or clinical efforts in a human situation."
Lehrer was pretty interested in learning more about how this study impacted humans as he asked, "How could this one day be used in humans? It sounds like these mice were, in the first place, bred to age extremely rapidly. So with humans that are genetically average, is there a way to get in there and, you know, repair the telomeres?"
DePinho answered by saying, "The aging process is very complicated. There are many factors that collectively cooperate... many co-conspirators that actually lead to diminished health in your advanced years." The co-conspirators that DePinho mentioned include mitochondria and proteins, and he said we need to understand all of these factors to truly get the "Ponce de Leon result people would hope for."
However, DePinho also went on to point out that, "There is excellent epidemiologic evidence in humans that damaged telomeres, those with the most damage or erosion of telomeres at the tips, that that is linked to increased incidence of certain age-related diseases."
And this brings us to another fascinating part of the show...
Curing Cancer and Other Diseases
As we all know, there is no real cure for cancer. But the findings of DePinho's study could possibly put us on the right path towards curing cancer and even other diseases.
DePinho discussed the impact of his study on common age-related diseases by saying, "Those with the shortest, most damaged telomeres have an increased incidence of cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes. And so one could speculate that if we could reawaken this enzyme in cells, even transcendentally, that it would wipe out damage and reset the degenerative potential of tissues and lead to increased years of healthy living."
So not only do the results of this study support evidence for curing age-related side effects, but also the diseases that eventually kill many people. But is this really a trail that we want to head down?
Cheating Death
There are almost 6.9 billion people on Earth. With the population growing at around 1% every year, we should reach over 7 billion people within a couple of years. And as we all know, there are only so many resources to accommodate all of these people. So you really have to wonder if cheating aging, and possibly death, is a solution to a problem or the means to an even bigger one.
Of course, I'm not trying to be insensitive here because I feel bad for anyone with a life-threatening disease such as cancer or cardiovascular problems. And if Dr. DePinho's research leads to better treatments for these diseases, then I'm all for it. I also love the idea of being able to live a healthier, wrinkle-free life such as the aged mice in the DePinho's study.
So far, DePinho isn't sure if his research has any effect on extending a person's life span as he said, "Our study did not address the longevity issue." He also answered 'yes' when Lehrer asked him if the study only concluded that the mice would have the same lifespan only in a healthier body.
And of course anabolic steroids and such have been great for anti-aging and have been around for years. I hope I live to see if manipulating the telomerase gene will be a further improvement.

What Is What Was?
In the Acknowledgments section of his biography of Saul Bellow, James Atlas quotes a somewhat greater biographer, Samuel Johnson: "We know how few can portray a living acquaintance, except by his most prominent and observable particularities, and the grosser features of his mind, and it may be easily imagined how much of this little knowledge may be lost in imparting it, and how soon a succession of copies will lose all resemblance of the original."
Johnson knew few of those whose lives he described and none nearly as well as Boswell knew him. (Would he have been as pessimistic about the unreliability of history and biography if he'd read Boswell's book? Probably more so. The truer the portrait, the more repellent to such a subject.)
I'm not as pessimistic about discovery as Johnson was. So, for instance, well as I knew Bellow before reading Atlas's biography, I think I know him better now.
Know him?
I mean that I know more about the places he lived, what his parents were like, what others thought of him, what he said about many things, including me. (To my surprise, I learned that I was once mentioned in his will and that, perhaps after one of our arguments, I was removed from it.) It doesn't mean that my view of Bellow now is Atlas's. By no means.
Atlas also knows Bellow and was helped by him in the course of writing his book.1 He writes that he immersed himself in Bellow's records and acquaintances far more than he'd done in work for his prizewinning biography of Delmore Schwartz (whom he'd never met). Atlas wonders, though, if familiarity and labor have produced a better book. I think this is a better book, largely because Bellow is a more brilliant and interesting man than Schwartz was. (Indeed, his version of Schwartz in Humboldt's Gift is more interesting, amusing and touching than the one in the Atlas biography, which was--we learn in the new book--inspired by it.)
Better, truer; more interesting, more touching.
The first two distinctions don't matter in works of fiction. So the uproar over Bellow's Ravelstein and the real Allan Bloom doesn't bear on its power as a novel or, on the other hand, on the pain it gave and gives some who saw themselves "portrayed" and/or "betrayed" in it. They do matter, however, for biography. Would Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson be as good a book if it were a work of fiction--if, say, the Johnson in it hadn't lived or been a totally different man? It would not be. The understanding a biographer establishes with his readers includes the sense that he is telling as much of the truth as he's been able to gather about actual people and events. If that understanding is compromised, it constitutes an aesthetic betrayal different from--and, in my view, worse than--the "betrayal" of a fiction writer's acquaintance in his fiction.
I'm one of the many Bellow friends Atlas interviewed and whom he cites in Bellow: A Biography. Much I know and feel about Bellow is not in the book because I didn't tell Atlas about it. Some of it would have somewhat altered his portrait of Bellow; none of it would have altered it significantly.2

Eventually this Jennifer Lawrence media bombardment is going to come to a stop, but until then we can continue to enjoy the sight of Jen's impressive set in a number of revealing outfits. The latest images in that vein are probably the best and perhaps most racy of the lot in that they feature what looks like some nipple happenings There's definitely some darker areola action happening underneath that tank top, which is a rather risque thing for the cover of Rolling Stone. Normally nip slips on a magazine cover elicits one of those blacked out plastic wraps and some behind-the-counter placement. Kudos to Jen and RS for letting some of the glory of that rack peek out a bit for us to enjoy. Maybe we'll get to see those babies unsheathed some time soon.

The event is a platform for people to network and explore business and other opportunities. Roundtables, management and online open courses are in the pipeline for the summit on Thursday. The Technology Summit will also mark the official launch of the India–France job opportunities board. It seeks to bring together the Human Resources heads of companies from both countries to promote opportunities for Indian students who have pursued higher education in France.
Both governments are also trying to promote greater student exchanges, twinning of higher education institutions, mutual recognition of degrees, research collaborations and training of teachers along with facilitation of visas. This was the strategy outlined by French President François Hollande on his State visit to India in February. There will be four key areas that the summit will focus on, namely "Cities, energy and climate", "Biotechnology, Agri-food and Health", "Aerospace and aeronautics" and "Chemicals and materials".
The summit was inaugurated by Union Minister for Science and Technology and Earth Sciences S. Jaipal Reddy. The summit is being organised by theFrench Embassy in India, the Department of Science and Technology and the Confederation of Indian Industry.
Keywords: India–France job opportunities board, Jaipal Reddy

Cutthroat presidential advisers get their personal lives hopelessly tangled up with professional duties as they try to conduct the business of running a country.

'Star Trek' boldly goes into the Reboot Universe
"We've all seen franchise entries that have been anemic, and my guess is that, more often than not, those movies were made by people who may have thought it was a cool job, but didn't love it as much as I loved this script."
No lifelong "Trekkie," Abrams relied on writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman to make the movie both satisfying to the property's devoted fans and a launching pad for its new interpretation.
"We didn't see how to do both, frankly, for a long time," admitted Orci, who is a hard-core Trekkie. "We wanted to do the origin, but it's heresy to recast these beloved characters. It wasn't until we had the idea of making Leonard Nimoy's Spock, essentially, the reason why the two universes collide."
"If you want to, quote-unquote, reboot, we all know the fates of these characters, so how do we ever put them in real jeopardy?" said Kurtzman, less of a loyalist to the earlier shows. "But we thought of an idea that freed us up to begin new, five-year missions while being the origin story that, oddly, even the old versions of 'Trek' never told."
Rebooting is inherently a tricky proposition. Not all new ideas are narratively or commercially successful, as the underperforming "Superman Returns" recently proved.
"Probably the biggest risk of doing a reboot is touching something that fans would consider untouchable," said Scott Robson, editor in chief of AOL's moviefone.com. "You run the risk of it-better-be-really-really-good if you're going to do that."
Producer and former Warner Bros. executive Dan Lin, who not only made "Terminator Salvation" but is working on upcoming movie reboots of the couldn't-be-more-different Sherlock Holmes and Lara Croft, Tomb Raider, noted that many rules apply to a successful relaunch.
"The big take-away is that the underlying material has to have something special about it," Lin said. "Then, it's all about the characters and bringing in the right director who can update it for this modern day and make it feel relevant.
"The big question to be answered is, why reboot it?"
While echoing some of Lin's observations, Overture Films' COO Danny Rosett, whose company is jumping on the horror franchise reboot bandwagon with an update of George Romero's 1970s cult item "The Crazies," cautioned that audiences will accept changes in their familiar franchises only up to a point.
"You always want to offer audiences something original and everybody talks about how important it is to avoid predictability," he said. "But audiences keep coming back to things that are familiar to them. That's why people keep doing remakes and sequels."
Fox's Young, who has films about the early days of the first X-Men team and the villainous Magneto in development, says it's a matter of finesse.
"If you treat these things well and you're not cynical about them and not just taking the audience's love for these characters for granted, the audience should come away feeling like they've got something new and fresh and that we've expanded their understanding a character in a great way," Young said. "Then, they'll want even more."

Finally, as was noted at the beginning of the chapter, different payment methods are designed to meet different objectives, but none automatically has quality improvement as an objective. Such an objective must therefore be explicitly designed into any payment method.
There is a growing body of evidence that quality improvement can translate into dollar savings (Classen et al., 1997; Clemmer et al., 1999; Conrad et al., 1996; Jarlier and Charvet-Protat, 2000). Poor quality is costly in several ways. First, quality-related problems can result in waste, such as when a step in the care process fails so that treatment must be repeated (e.g., the CT scan has to be redone), or extra resources are required to fix the failed process (e.g., treat an avoidable complication). Second, quality-related problems can lead to inefficiencies, as when two processes can produce the same outcome, but the more costly alternative is selected. An additional issue is that some processes may produce superior outcomes but utilize more resources, therefore resulting in cost increases. There is no advantage to this kind of quality improvement. In an environment that evaluates costs but not results, Anderson and Daigh (1991) suggest that quality waste accounts for 25–40 percent of all hospital costs.
Despite the evidence that poor quality costs money, however, health care organizations and professionals have not adopted quality-based process management to compete in today's marketplace. In fact, there are cases in which significant financial losses have resulted in the elimination of quality projects rather than the intensification of such efforts (Shulkin, 2000). Indeed, a variety of barriers embodied in current payment methods prevent health care organizations from pursuing quality improvement. The following subsections describe examples of four such payment barriers: perverse payment methods, adverse risk selection, annual contracting arrangements, and up-front investments required by provider groups.
Two examples of how payment mechanisms can inhibit quality improvement were provided at the IOM workshop held on April 24, 2000, by Dr. Brent James of the Intermountain Health System, Salt Lake City, Utah:

Based on new clinical research that suggests that gut health, chronic inflammation, and environmental toxins may be root causes of infertility, this important book offers all women a natural, holistic approach to readying the womb for a child. Women who are trying to conceive will find a holistic approach in this hands-on guidebook. Step-by-step guidelines help implement a three-part program—of yoga, hypoallergenic and anti-inflammatory nutrition, and stress-reduction techniques—to cleanse the body, mind, and spirit in preparation for pregnancy. In addition, this program draws on cleansing methods from various healing methods and has been specifically designed for women who are trying naturally or with assisted-reproduction plans.

The volume of interest about this topic from patients, the scientific community, and the media made us feel, as fertility specialists, that we needed to get to the bottom of this heated issue. When we first presented the topic to our publisher--a book we naively chose to call The Infertility Cleanse--we were optimistic that we would be able to clearly define toxicity for the audience, and help women eradicate it to improve their fertility. But as so often happens, a topic that at first seems cut and dried in theory reveals its true nature the moment you sit down at your computer to actually write about it. And that was the case this time. Toxicity, it seems, is everywhere. It's in our water bottles, the food we eat, and the air we breathe. Moreover, we are not simply passive inhabitants of a toxic wasteland; we are also active participants in the creation of mental, emotional, environmental, and physical toxicity through the ways we live our lives. In fact, the more we delved into the issue of toxicity, the more depressing the story became, and we began to look at each other and wonder how anyone ever gets pregnant or delivers a healthy child! But as we dug deeper, the story changed and something else emerged. Nature has not left us defenseless in a toxic world. Somehow, despite all of the toxicity surrounding us, flowers are still blooming, trees are still growing, rain still falls, and families are still created. There is a resilience in nature that inspires us and gives us hope. rather than wallow in doom and gloom, we decided we would turn our energy to the ways our amazing bodies and spirits can overcome toxic challenges--a lifestyle cleanse, so to speak. We reject the idea of toxicity as merely an external process--something from outside of ourselves trying to get in and cause harm. We believe toxicity is also something created internally that in turn manifests itself outwardly. Toxicity is a symbol of everything that's going wrong-- patterns of stress, poor diet, inadequate sleep, and insufficient respect for the environment. When we looked at toxicity this way, we had an epiphany: We each have a choice to change our lifestyle and choose another way to be. And that's what this book is all about. W 17 InFeRTILITy CLeAnSe In many ways this book is a call to become a pioneer, to begin to look at different ways we consume and create things. While our patterns of consumption and creation may or may be not be related to our ability to conceive, they are ultimately related to our ability to flourish. The ability to thrive is the ultimate definition of fertility. That is what we mean by an Infertility Cleanse. 18 ChapTer 1 The Body's Detox Processes E ach day our bodies are deluged with hundreds of things that could be called toxins. According to Webster's Dictionary, a toxin is defined as "a poisonous substance that is a specific product of the metabolic activities of a living organism." Toxins are a normal part of the natural world. Our bodies produce toxins, chemicals in our environment can be toxic to our bodies, and even mental health practitioners have co-opted the term to describe mental processes that can be harmful to our well-being. The important thing to realize is that toxicity is not something new to the human body. For this reason, doom-and-gloom scenarios about the environment and our fertility must be taken seriously but also taken in stride. The keys to limiting the effects of toxins in our daily life are awareness and proactivity. awa r e n e s s : T h e M a n y s O u rC e s O f TOx I n s While some toxins (i.e., poisonous chemicals) are dangerous in small amounts, most of the substances we talk about in this book are toxic only when the body's ability to metabolize and excrete these substances is overwhelmed or imbalanced. There are three main sources of toxins in our lives: environmental toxins, metabolic toxins, and xenobiotics. 1. environmental toxins Environmental toxins come from the external environment. They are absorbed through the lungs (air pollution, smoking, fumes, cleaning products, certain artificial fragrances, etc.), through the food and drink we consume, and even through the use of some health and beauty products (perfumes, lotions, and skin care products). Toxins in the food supply enter the body through the digestive system and move directly to the liver, where they are cleared for excretion. Some examples of environmental toxins include: H o r m o n e S i n o u r F o o d S u p p ly: Our food supply is a significant source of chemicals, hormones, and hormone-like substances. In later sections of the book, we discuss the most significant sources of hormones and toxicity (animal products and pesticides) and strategies to reduce our consumption of these substances. Hormones in meat, dairy, and endocrine20 The BODy'S DeTOx PROCeSSeS disrupting pesticides (see below) can mimic the activity of our own endocrine hormones and disrupt normal function. e n d o c r i n e d i S r u p t o r S : Of particular concern for fertility is a family of exogenous toxins called endocrine disruptors. According to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, endocrine disruptors are substances that interfere with our body's hormonal systems and cause adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects in humans and wildlife. They are associated with infertility and cancer, as well as developmental problems, and are found in many places, including pesticides, plastics, industrial byproducts, building materials, and pollution. Unlike other toxins that must be ingested in large amounts before they cause problems, the hormones in the endocrine system that these chemicals mimic act in minute concentrations in our body. Many researchers believe that tiny amounts of endocrine disruptors have the potential to cause enormous damage. Common endocrine-disrupting chemicals include DDT, PCBs, Bisphenol A, and pthalates. These substances and their impact on health and fertility are discussed in greater depth later in the book. 2. metabolic toxins Many of us don't realize that we may be our own biggest source of toxicity. The byproducts of normal cell metabolism and other physiological processes that originate in our body tissues are all toxic when they are not metabolized properly. Diet, overweight, stress, and a weakened digestive system can allow these substances to build up and begin to cause disease. Examples of toxins that result from our body's metabolic processes include excess hormones like insulin or estrogen and the byproducts of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. These potential sources of toxicity are explored in the next chapter. Here are a few examples of metabolic processes that can become toxic: e S t r o g e n d o m i n a n c e : Too much estrogen circulating in a woman's body is thought to be a contributing factor toward infertility, endometriosis, and fibroids. During a woman's childbearing years, estrogen is made in two places: the ovaries and the adipose tissue (fat cells). Body fat is biologically active, and women who are overweight or obese may manufacture levels of estrogen in excess of healthy levels. In addition, the way a woman metabolizes estrogen is important to their health, too. Later we examine the different paths estrogen takes on the way out of the body and how these metabolic pathways can influence the amount and type of estrogen circulating in the body. S t r e S S a n d i t S m e ta b o l i t e S : The stress hormone cortisol is a case of a good hormone gone wrong. Secreted by the adrenal glands, it evolved as part of our human response to danger and is called the "fight-or-flight" hormone. When out of control, stress can be one of the most toxic processes in our life. 21 ChapTer 6 Cleansing the Mind I n this chapter, we begin to look at the kinds of thoughts that challenge us when we're trying to conceive. As part of the Cleanse Lifestyle, we will ask you to a) identify negative thoughts, b) inquire into the nature of thoughts, and c) begin to explore the concept of Awareness, a powerful teaching from yoga that allows us to step into the flow of life in a radical way. M e n Ta l TOx I n n O. 1 : s O C I a l I s O l aT I O n Couples undergoing IVF mentioned social isolation as a recurring stressor in their treatment. We might wonder then if social isolation also contributes to the kind of stress that causes infertility? You know the kind of isolation we're talking about. The kind that says you can't attend your cousin's baby shower or meet your mommy friends at the park, or the kind that keeps you away from social activities at the office due to doctor appointments and concern over "sharing too much" about your personal "situation." Could feelings of isolation impact our psychological well-being so much that it can actually impact our fertility? Some well-documented studies show psychosocial factors such as isolation and depression are the number one predictor of mortality in patients with heart disease and heart failure (Friedmann et al, 2006). Another study shows that people living in a culturally similar community who have the support of others actually have lower rates of heart disease. Yes, the kind of social isolation that comes from being infertile can be a source of stress and even depression. There's no research yet on social isolation and infertility, but if depression can negatively affect IVF outcomes and social isolation causes depression, it makes sense that there could be a correlation. remember, the lonely monkeys we mentioned earlier in the book. Therefore, it's important for gals trying to conceive to find and receive the appropriate support they need for this process. The question then becomes, what kind of support network or friends do you have? If your friends are the Fertile Myrtle type or tell you to "just relax and it will happen"--just the kind of friends who participants in the study cited as causing stress for them--you may 91 InFeRTILITy CLeAnSe need to rethink your friendships. What you need are girlfriends who get it--and let us tell you, there are plenty of them out there. Infertility affects one in eight women in the United States. Every time we sit down to a business meeting at Pulling Down the Moon, the person across the table inevitably shares a personal fertility story with us: "I went through it myself," or "my sister just had a baby after eight years of trying," or "my best friend just miscarried." The problem is women just don't want to share, because they're not sure it's safe territory or an appropriate topic. As far as we've come in bringing social issues to the forefront of human consciousness, infertility is still in the broom closet! We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but if we don't give it to you straight, no one will. Human reproduction is a primal instinct. Women, in particular, can feel hard-wired to bear a child or be a mother. Anthropologists tell us we are the gatherers and stokers of the home fires. As a result, many women will stop at nothing to accomplish the goal of having a baby, and when it doesn't happen, we sometimes feel ashamed, want to withdraw, or have the misperception that our bodies are broken. Men, on the other hand, may come to this journey from a different perspective. While many men are completely supportive of their wives or partners, fertility can still be very closely linked to virility for them. We've all heard the braggadocio male--the one who announces that his wife is pregnant due to his strong swimmers or his "A-Team" or "his boys." Isn't it ironic that more than 30 percent of all infertility issues are due to the male factor? We share that statistic during some of our couples classes at Pulling Down the Moon and many of the guys look around the room like, "It ain't this male, so it must be you." If your spouse or partner is also in denial, remind them that it takes two. On the other hand, we had a couple come to Pulling Down the Moon for our "Dealing with Disappointment" program, and the wife comforted the husband during the entire program as he cried his eyes out about the grief and disappointment he was feeling and his inability to talk about it with his male peers. There are many things men can do to enhance their own fertility, including a visit to the urologist to check under the hood. A healthy diet that supports sperm production, a decrease in alcohol consumption, quitting smoking, wearing boxers instead of briefs, and refraining from "spanking the monkey" (masturbating) before and during their partner's ovulation period are also supportive techniques. One of the fertility doctors we work with at Fertility Centers of Illinois laughs when she tells the story about how this topic is approached with couples in her office. She says that most women can't imagine that their husband or spouse would be regular masturbators, so they often don't take her seriously when she mentions this during their initial consultation. The men, on the other hand, know exactly what she's talking about. remember that a little bit of abstinence in this department can go a long way. 92 CLeAnSIng The MInD You can have the most wonderful spouse or partner on the planet, but that doesn't mean they make good "girlfriends." remember if women are hard-wired to gather and men are hardwired to hunt and fix things, most of us will be hard pressed to find a male partner who wants to hear our every thought, insecurity, idea, and emotion when it comes to trying to conceive. Girlfriends who are also trying to conceive, on the other hand, are a true gift! Find support groups like those offered through resolve, the AFA, or at your local fertility clinic. Be physically present. While online chatting or support groups can be nice, they can also lead to an enormous amount of unnecessary stress when you plug into the crazy lady whose story should be a made for TV movie or whose doctor was related to Mr. Hyde. When we wrote Fully Fertile a few years back, it was our intention that women everywhere could use the book as a way to create support groups in their local areas. The second edition of the book now contains a workbook and instructions on how to start a group near you. We are happy to report that Fully Fertile book clubs are popping up all over the place, so perhaps you'd like to start one, too. it takes a village: Find yours Over the years, we've learned from our own personal experiences with infertility and our work at Pulling Down the Moon that the life of a gal trying to conceive can indeed be discouraging and lonely. It's easy for us to share our infertility stories with you now, two kids and many years later, but it wasn't that way in the beginning. Tami writes: I didn't tell anybody I was trying to get pregnant. I didn't want to continually be asked about It, and I didn't want to feel like a failure at it. One of my close friends was having a devil of a time trying to get pregnant, and I remember being a mute when she brought it up. I somehow felt that if I didn't talk about it, it didn't really exist. To me, verbalizing the fact that I struggled with getting pregnant was like jinxing the whole process and, in my mind, I felt certain that if I spoke of it, I was sure to never get pregnant. It's funny how superstitious we get in times of crisis. Instead of reaching out, I retracted like a turtle in its shell. There is something profound that happens when you come out of your shell and become part of a group. In yoga, we often use the word sangha, which is a Sanskrit term referring to the idea that when liked-minded people come together, the power or intention of the group is magnified. We saw it for years in our Yoga for Fertility classes. Women who practiced the postures as a group and then came together for discussion every week felt supported and often healed by the group. Many got pregnant, many were able to move toward second solutions, and many told us that 93 InFeRTILITy CLeAnSe Kriya (cleansing) exercises Kriya are cleansing exercises that help to dislodge toxicity and open important energy channels. These particular kriya are fertility-specific and stimulate the musculature and fascia of the low back, hips, and the feet, opening the apana energy channel. Hips and feet are linked to the downward flow of energy that helps to ground us and make us feel emotionally secure. These exercises can be done daily. 1 cHaKra vrKSaSana Chakra Vrksasana is a wonderful warm-up for the low back, hips, and breath. This three-part kriya exercise is done in two phases: 1. Begin in Table Pose, on your hands and knees 2. Take a deep inhale and then exhale, round your back like an angry cat and sit your seat back on to your heels (Child Pose). 3. With your next inhale, return to Table Pose. 2 repeat 4 times, using your breath to set the pace of the movement. Try to take your time moving between Table Pose and Child Pose, feeling the spine as it rounds and the muscles of the back becoming warm. Feel how the breath and the movement become synchronized. 3 158

StoryCorps: Peter Mayer
Peter Mayer emigrated with his family from Germany as World War Two approached. He was six years old at the time and spoke no English. He and his family settled in Uptown and he has remained in New Orleans to the present day. He's 80 years old now, and is being interviewed by his son, Josh, who's 49. This conversation was recorded March 21, 2010.
Peter recalls New Orleans during his early years, and is asked about the days after the war, the historic time when Israel became a state, his college days, military service and his return to New Orleans.
ALSO: In this extended conversation, Peter Mayer tells his son, Josh, about what his life was like in New Orleans as he was growing up during World War II, and the haunts he enjoyed in the French Quarter. He can even recall the addresses of the homes he lived in during his years in New Orleans.
StoryCorps New Orleans interviews were recorded by StoryCorps, a national project to record and collect stories of everyday people. This excerpt was selected and produced by WWNO producer Eileen Fleming, with support from the WWNO Productions Fund and from Villere & Co., managing the investments of New Orleans' families for almost 100 years. Listen again at wwno.org or at nola.com.
