Something I noticed out of the corner of my eye while researching my last post, but didn't have time to delve into deeply, is the fact that Chris Doherty's donation page does not appear to have an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate indicator. The donor page asks for your full information, including all credit card info, and claims at the top that "This is a secure page" with a padlock image, but what is more important than easily made in-page claims, is the missing padlock you should be finding on the bottom bar of your browser when you hit that page.
The donation form itself is in an iframe - embedding code from another site, the URL of which is:
But just because "secure" is in the subdomain of the page being pulled, it does not mean security. That page URL also does not have the "https" prefix - https indicates a secure URL. The form script appears to resubmit to itself via relative URL (web talk for using the same prefix and domain).
Curious, I put my IT husband on the case, and he used what's known as a "packet sniffer" - software that monitors the pieces of information, called packets, that are sent to and fro whenever you submit something and then receive something through the web (or rather, through a network then the web). An encrypted (SSL) packet is indecipherable via packet sniffer. However, the test data that we submitted through the form on that page was perfectly intact in the packet sniffer. That means a knowledgeable computer person (with malicious intent) can, particularly if you are on say, an unsecured network at a coffee shop or library, grab 100% of your credit card information, everything that person needs to use the card themselves online (including the CVV, address, name, and expiration date).
If I were Chris Doherty, I would be really pissed off at my web design firm. This is a terribly amateur mistake that could compromise the personal information of donors. And it needs to be fixed ASAP.
UPDATE: Looking at the code for the page now, the iframe now links to "https://secure.sage-systems.com/cms/chrisdoherty/?l=donate" which appears to be a secure site (the certificate doesn't name ownership info, but it at least has SSL).
This means the parent page (the contribute page) itself does not have SSL, but the transaction should be secure. It's not how I would set it up - in that people do look for that padlock on the bottom bar when they are on a page asking for credit information, and it will not appear there, but it should be secure. I don't have a packet sniffer here with me so I can't check it but my guess is it's encrypted. So good on the web updater for getting to it quickly. Still, pretty rookie move…
Oh, Lynne.
That's beautiful.
Did you at least buy the rats dinner first?
I love it.
Thank you for posting this out of the kindness of your heart. You rule!
Well, sarcasm aside, it really IS a major no-no by a web designer. In this case, I think Doherty himself can be forgiven for not understanding the particulars - though word to all the wise out there, NEVER ever enter your sensitive info on a site without the https and the SSL lock on the page, no matter what the content on the page itself says. And it's never a bad idea to check the certificate itself on pages you are not sure about. Sure, Amazon and other major websites are probably always safe, but SSL issuers are a dime a dozen now and some are now questioning whether or not there's problems with some of them.
Please, we don't allow people to comment without filling out the nickname. It defaults to "Anonymous" and it gets confusing if everyone posts that way. Thanks!
I always forget to enter my name again after emptying my temp files. Sorry! I swear I will remember some year. Thank you for the security lesson. I add customers at home to my work server and have to type in https and wondered why that was and now I know. Will the Sun title tomorrow be "Doherty contributors at risk"? Is the donation system the Doherty campaign used REALLY that dangerous?
My goodness, thank God I hadn't donated! :0)
That said, having come back from from April vacation to find that someone had compromised our CC information, not too pleased, but easily remedied.
I don't thing this is too serious as long as it gets fixed. (Disclaimer: I'm not an internet security expert - I'm just a little more informed about it than most users.) It basically isn't secure, but its like leaving your door unlocked at home while your out - as long as nobody notices and takes advantage the data you sent is probably safe. While the data would be relatively easy to intercept, you have to know to look. There may have been bot sniffers out there monitoring the site, but I doubt it.
The internet used to be full of sites with this problem, but people in general have wised up. Yahoo in particular used to ask you to sign into their site without any encryption unless you specifically asked to do it by clicking on a 'secure sign in' link instead of just being secure by default (like it is now).
Ummmmm thanks for telling the crooks how to break in. WTF is wrong with you? Yeah I know, you want people to fear donating to this kid because you don't like him, makes sense from a strictly utilitarian viewpoint. But you're acting a little too, what I would call "Fox Newsy," for my tastes on this one.
Remember, we can't act like we're better than the right wing jag-offs unless we ARE better than the right wing jag-offs. Right?
Oh for god's sake, honestly, if I noticed, anyone could. And it is a seriously stupid mistake. Sorry, but it's not MY fault it happened. Stop blaming me for it.
(In fact, it's likely bots have already sniffed out the fact it's not a secure site, anyway - long before any human ever did. It's not hard to figure out.)
I'll add one last thing - It's awful to state on your site that it's a secure transaction without actually securing it. That's false advertising.
The site goes out of its way to reassure you, but it fails to do so. So this is something we should be quiet about?
Publicizing it means it'll get fixed posthaste. If that web company wants to ever be hired again, it'll get it done TODAY. If I emailed the campaign, there's no guarantee that the company would hustle on it.
As mentioned before, there is an iframe. An iframe can be secure in an insecure page, except, you need that embedded page to be secure - https packet instead of an http packet. The iframe is calling in an insecure form, therefore the packet is bare.
Using HTTPS is a matter of getting the SSL - buying it, and then setting it up correctly at one's host. When you buy an SSL you get a key that is then entered at the host end, which is where your script that parses your form lies. That allows it to unencrypt the encrypted packet. Because it sits where the script sits (ie on the same computer, so to speak), the unencryption key never crosses the wire like the packet is, and therefore (without the key) cannot be unencrypted by third parties.
In other words, you can't merely just use https in your link, you have to also set it up correctly. The packet as sent through the wire on that site is in plain text, unencrypted.
But like I said, this is also a really good lesson to anyone who uses the web. You should look for that SSL indication, in the URL and in the bottom browser bar. And on a site you're still not sure of, you might want to check the actual certificate itself. (You usually can do that in most browsers by clicking on the padlock icon in the bottom bar.)
No Lynne. No, no no.
If you actually cared about the security of people's information like the tone of the post suggests, you would have contacted the campaign to let them know of the flaw. Yes, it would have helped the opposition, but it would have been the right thing to do.
Instead, you post the information on an open web site, allowing anyone with malicious intent to steal people's personal information. All to score cheap political points, the same tactic you have been basing Doherty for from the start.
Nice going.
I think people have a right to know, KNOW that their info might be at risk until they FIX the problem? Or are you against warning people?
Good lord. You'd rather the next several people to donate be at risk…you must be insane.
As I said, this is super EASY information to find out - bot scripts probably already have. I'm serious, this looks like this might have been going on since the start. *I* am NOT the one compromising people's security on that site - but I sure as hell will warn other people. And yes, it's a stupid move on Chris' web company's fault, but you might want to note I have NOT blamed him - I blamed whoever set up the site.
Don't blame me for someone else's mistake, one which I am very likely NOT the first person to notice.
So if I read your "update" correctly, this was all much ado about nothing?
By the way, were you in the process of making a contribution?
Regardless of your intentions, your "help" has made it much easier for those who want to to steal the information you seem so interested in protecting. As I said, there was a way to help without making an admittedly serious security flaw even more public.
Instead, you chose the route that benefited your side the most, rather than the one that would actually be most helpful in preventing any further damage. So I daresay I'm justified in questioning your motives for posting this here.
And no, I'm not against protecting people; I'm against doing it in a way that makes it worse, in order to serve your side. People should know, but the real
Solution would be to fix the problem, not trumpet about it.
Ummmmm thanks for telling the crooks how to break in. WTF is wrong with you?… Instead, you post the information on an open web site, allowing anyone with malicious intent to steal people's personal information. All
The crooks already know everything Lynne wrote. It's the rest of us who don't.
Sorry Lynne, I agree with "Peter" and "Really" on this one.
I have no dog in this fight.. its a Lowell race to me.
But, when I discover a security issue on someone's site, I always quietly notify the webmaster.
I may discuss the issue after the problem was solved on a security blog or webmaster forum. Education is important in that light.
This obviously touched a nerve, because you replied repeatedly trying to validate your post after you were challenged on it.
This posting did nothing but create distruct of a candidate (your intended target), and distrust in the security of the internet in general (the unfortunate consequence).
Uh, Lurker, NO, since it's been like that (one can presume likely) since the site was set up, a lot of people's info could have been compromised.
No, don't be sarcastic, I already said (why am I always repeating myself???) that I found it researching for my last post. I noted it that night, but didn't remember to go back and do the delving until I did.
"Really??" - what joe said. Again do I have to repeat myself? I love the talking points. "It's Lynne's fault there's a security breach on a site she had nothing to do with!" Good lord.
There were two reasons for publicizing it - one, so that people would be forewarned, and two - so there would serious pressure to fix it DAMNED quick, and that worked, it was fixed. The fact that it makes Doherty's campaign look bad isn't my fault. Kudos on them for getting on the ass of the web master.
And as I said in the update, they're doing the security in a way that I think is pretty dumb. Well, at least, NOT reassuring to the average savvy user who might be looking for that padlock on the bottom, which they won't get. And SSL certs are really cheap, so there's really no excuse…
By the way, the STATE takes this security stuff very seriously. WISP just went into effect in March, and it's VERY adamant that you secure information. Web developers are taught to be very, very cautious about proper web security.
And I can't wait til the OCPF reports come out and we find out who did the website…LMAO.
You know, I gotta wonder…are all the people who are on here getting all defensive for Doherty (whom, I will note, I didn't BLAME in the first place) are they the same people who are perfectly OK with the government grabbing more info than the Constitution allows (PATRIOT Act etc) and then yelling at the press for revealing that these programs exist for "compromising US security"?
To Shawn - right, again, I point to the fact that the site was already compromising people's data, and the people who read this site so they can jump on my ass for my views on the race are the ones donating to him.
You might not like my methods, but they were effective. After months of this thing being insecure, it was fixed right away.
"This posting did nothing but create distruct of a candidate (your intended target), and distrust in the security of the internet in general (the unfortunate consequence)."
Sorry, but the distrust was deserved. I posted an update of it being fixed (and how it was fixed) as soon as I found out it was. So, your superiority attitude aside, again, I think it's perfectly reasonable to do it however you think you should. I doubt very much it'd be fixed this quickly if I had sent an unsolicited email to some unknown intern at the campaign and let the wheels grind away.
If you don't think people needed to know that's your opinion (and frankly, people needed to know if they were past donors - because they should try to remember where they were when they did it - and even being on a secure network is no guarantee BTW - because they might want to keep an eye on that credit info).
Security firms wrestle with the 'do I make this public?' question all the time, and they do sometimes make the judgement call that it's better to make it public prior to a fix being out there. Certainly there can be a risk, but the benefits of warning the public and the pressure it puts on getting a fix done can sometimes outweigh them. In this case, the risk probably wasn't much at all. People who try to hack card numbers don't usually go the rout of trying to hack each individual transaction (which is what you would have to do here), but rather they go after the database of transactions - more bang for the buck.
Thanks, and you are absolutely correct. If you right click the donation info page it will tell you that this page has no encryption.
Good catch!
Dybo - it is secure now that it has been fixed, just hiddenly so. The iframe pulling in the form is now finally from an https (secure) site - but the lack of an SSL on the page itself is likely to fool a lot of people. Again not the best methodology to secure data IMHO - just from a public trust standpoint, though it's as secure. (As evident by this problem, securing a form's submission of data via iframe is also REALLY easy to screw up - all you gotta do is forget the "s" on the http in the URL.)
Like I said, take this as a lesson - on any site asking for your personal info, check to see if there's a padlock. On sites that don't have it, don't assume they are securing you in other ways. They might be, but it's time to be aware.
One thing you CAN do is click on "view source" (right click, or else up on the menu usually under "view") on the page asking for your data, and look for an iframe (do a search) where the form should be. If the iframe code is calling for an https site, then it should be secure.
I'd post real code but I think the WP install would strip it out, and I'm too lazy right now to use HTML characters - but HTML code for iframe looks like this. In the instance of pulling code from another website, the src="" attribute would have a full URL with http/https at the beginning. If you see an src attribute with https in the URL, then that form is secure.
Oh, and - you should go to the URL being iframed, too - copy-paste the URL into your browser to access it directly. [Go into the page source for that page] and find the form tag:
<form name="SOMENAME" action="SOME URL/FILE" method="post">
And make sure that if it's an absolute URL (starts with http or https and has full URL) that it has a https on it. If it's a relative URL (not a full URL but just a part of a path, like "scripts/parsemyform.php" or something) than if the iframe is on https, it'll resubmit to the secure version of the site.
The big problem with the form being pulled in to Doherty's site was that the form's action attribute submitted to a relative URL, which was the unsecure one.
If I were Sage, the company providing this service, I would be at a minimum checking to see if any offsite code pulling my form was pulling from https, and giving a bit of error code instead of delivering the form, so if the web developer screws up, they know it right away. Kind of a failure on several levels…
Heh, awesome, I just found a site that very nicely describes how to do proper form submission security.
The relevant headings to look for on that (long) page are:
Make sure that no one can connect to your form page insecurely
If my form is posting securely to a secure form processing script, then why does the form itself need to be secured?
Quoting the first:
However, as mentioned before, most web hosts leave the insecure version of the form there and can still be accessed by users if they enter the address directly (or if you missed some of the links in your updates). As a next step, you should ensure that it is not possible to access the form page via an insecure connection.
Scripted pages: If your form page is generated by a server-side script (i.e. PHP, Perl, Python, or JAVA), then your script itself can look and see if the request is secure or not (by looking at the server environment variables). For secure requests, it can render the form as usual. For insecure requests, it can either give the user an error or redirect the user seamlessly to the proper secure location.
In an iframe, redirect isn't possible so far as I know, so delivering the error code (a responsibility for Sage, the place hosting the real form) is appropriate here.
Under the second heading, they agree with me that hiding the security is just bad manners. In their case, they're talking about a form on your website on an unsecure page that submits to a secure script (the "action" attribute). It's secure but it fails to show the padlock and certificate to the web user.
* The data sent from your end users to the server will be secure and encrypted during transmission. This is enough for some applications, such as HIPAA compliance.
* The form itself will be sent to the end user unencrypted. If there is nothing sensitive in the form itself, this may be OK.
* End users who are non-technical will have no way of knowing if their data will be submitted securely until they actually try it. Many end users will not want to submit their data to an insecure form on your site for this reason.
* End users have no way of knowing if they are viewing your site, or a phishing site, or if there is eavesdropping going on — as there is no certificate to validate. Many users will not trust the connection and will not want to submit their data through your site.
* If your form page is insecure, it is very easy for any malicious party to perform a man-in-the-middle attack to eavesdrop on connections and to set up phishing sites. It is very hard or impossible for your end users to tell if this is going on.
If you do not SSL-secure your web form, you make it very vulnerable to attack and provide no way for your end users to trust your site. If there is nothing untoward going on, you do have transmission security to rely on; however, that minimal level of security is not recommended for production web sites.
In the case of an iframe secure form inside an insecure site, even that appears not recommended:
It may or may not be encrypted. But it's not secure, and the browser is absolutely correct to deny you a padlock icon.
If the parent page is http, then that page could easily have been altered by a man-in-the-middle attack to point the usually-secure <iframe> to a completely different server to the expected one. Or, the parent page might have had JavaScript injected into it to log any keypresses you make into the form and send them to the attacker's server.
The user would have no way of checking whether this had happened, short of viewing the page source and reading and understanding every line of markup and script inside it. This is absolutely unrealistic.
If you aren't on a page where all content is secured by https, any submission from that page is insecure, regardless of where the form action is pointed.
Given his site is hosted as a WP install…security matters. (I learned he's hosting a wordpress site because his contributors list is hosted at http://www.chrisdohertyforsenate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Chris-Doherty-Contributors1.pdf - wp-content is a common folder in WP.)
Actually, the javascript keypress alien script is enough to make one shudder! These problems are why you now see credit card sites and other financial institutions do weird things after you put in your username - but not your password.
For instance, on one, I had to pick a photo I liked out of a bunch they had, which then was attached to my account. Now when I put my username in there, and go to the next page to put in my password, it shows "my" photo - and warns me, if I do NOT see my photo on a subsequent visit to NOT put a password in. Since the photo and its relationship to my account are stored on the server side, only that company (short of having its very servers hacked) knows the association, and can deliver my account with the photo next to it.
On other sites, they use "confidence words" to tell you you're on the real page and not a faked "phishing" hijacked page so you can feel safe putting in your password.
Still other financial sites have not implemented this at all, which is surprising.
I'm sure you can tell, this stuff is my bread and butter…sorry for the boring tech talk, but everyone is affected by web security, so it's better knowing some stuff than blindly putting your personal info out there to be hacked!
UUUggghhh Lynne. Lots and lots of posts by you that make me think "you doth protest too much". Which leads me to believe you had some indecision on posting this, in this manner, in the first place. You should have gone with your gut. Even though I'm sure you'll deny it.
You really should have just contacted the campaign directly and given them the opportunity to correct it. If they chose to ignore you, then and only then, should you have considered posting on it. And not in the full detail of how to breach the system. Just that the system was able to be breached. You could have posted on it later if you really felt the need to. But frankly it should have been the campaign to issue a warning to its contributors.
You really did Eileen a disservice. This is not the way she would operate. And unfortunately the actions of your supporters directly reflect on the candidate. Right, wrong, or indifferent. But you can't choose your family and you can't choose your supporters.
Sometimes just a little bit of restraint goes a long way.
I think people who are not as tech saavy think that Lynne's post somehow made it possible for hackers to get into Doherty's donor database which is not true.
Someone would have to see her post, and then go to an open hotspot and scan for people who happen to be making donations to Doherty and then intercept their credit card info as it is being transmitted.
In reality, hackers create programs that automatically scan all transactions to find those that are unsecure and pull whatever info was being transmitted regardless of where it was being sent. Therefore, Lynne sharing this info would not increase the likelihood of theft of the info, it would just increase the awareness of donors and get this problem fixed.
Now can we get back to talking about the candidates? I've gotten 5 mailers from Chris Doherty in the last week. Can someone explain to me how you decrease class size, retrofit government buildings, give seniors major tax breaks AND reduce spending?
"Which leads me to believe you had some indecision on posting this, in this manner, in the first place"
Nope. I was shocked just how bad this was and was pretty angry, actually. With all the stuff out there about people's credit and personal info not being protected, it was a boneheaded move (on the part of the web company).
By the way, I still wouldn't trust that donor page! It is still vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack.
"You really should have just contacted the campaign directly and given them the opportunity to correct it."
As I said, my email would have gone to some intern who would have run it up the chain and it would have taken probably a lot longer to get fixed. This way, there was serious pressure on the web company to get their act in gear and fix it quick.
Also, I think it's perfectly fair to nail these people on this, it's ridiculous in this day and age.
"And not in the full detail of how to breach the system."
It's obvious to anyone who has any experience with web sites - if I could figure it out, smarter people than me can or have.
"This is not the way she would operate."
Who the fuck said I was Eileen? Equating me with her, is, well, stupid. I saw a bad, bad practice on the web and chose to publicize it - for multiple reasons already stated. If you want to put the sinister motives on it - that's YOUR business. And more reflects on you than me, frankly. I was pretty sure that contacting the campaign would have given the run around, most likely, or that Doherty would get the run around from their web people (and frankly I would fire them - that setup is really amateur).
What I find funny, "Lilly Pad," is that you're just coming on here NOW and crying foul…so, what, suddenly you feel the need to comment? That tells a person a lot you know. You have a history of, it appears, two comments.
"Someone would have to see her post, and then go to an open hotspot and scan for people who happen to be making donations to Doherty and then intercept their credit card info as it is being transmitted."
Actually there are a couple ways to do it - and one of them does not require a public hot spot at all, just a hijacked web inquiry, and that, actually, is still the case with the way they have it set up. (The iframe/inserted form is NOT secure.)
Actually, correction, the iframe is calling in a secure form, but the outer page is not secure.
I don't think Lynne was trying to help people steal the information. I do think she was trying to create a little doubt in the minds of donors who might have beem thinking of contributing.
If your intentions were noble and driven out of concern Lynne, you should have gone to the campaign directly. Once they corrected the issue, you then could have called them out for a potentially careless mistake. You would have shown yourself to be a bigger person instead of a lowdown dirty fighter, like you accuse Doherty's backers of being.

No More Gaga? No More Porno? Nicola Formichetti Says Goodbye To Mugler
We've seen Lady Gaga in his shapely designs, Kim Kardashian donning his future-forward silhouettes, and caught a glimpse of his porno-campaign film. But after two years as creative director, Nicola Formichetti, has announced his departure from Mugler.
And though it may have been a short-lived affair with the French fashion house, the Italian-Japanese designer has left us with lots to talk about. So, Formichetti... Here are your "Matchless Mugler Moments."
Lady Gaga's Catwalk Debut
Mother Monster may have racked up her fair share of catwalk moments over the past few years, but it all began with Mugler, when in 2011, Gaga debuted on the runway at Paris Fashion Week for Nicola Formichetti's first showcase at Paris Fashion Week. A claim to fame that the designer can hold dear to his heart. Check out Gaga perform in a smoking sheer top and figure-hugging leathers:
Taking Mugler to Xtube
Unless you didn't know, Formichetti chose to get somewhat x-rated for his Spring 2012 menswear campaign, and may stand as the only designer ever to create a short fashion film embedded on the free porn site, Xtube. The film, "Brothers of Arcadia," features provocative "Greek Gods" getting hot and steamy in a chamber.
Rita Ora's Radioactive Mugler Wardrobe
Though many of the Mugler catwalk looks may not be so easy to pull-off from day-to-day that's what we've got the celebs for! British Pop sensation and style icon Rita Ora opted for Mugler zebra print in her "Radioactive" music video, and if anyone can do Mugler, she can!
In every fashion house's evolution, the launch of a handbag line is never a poor play. And for his Spring 2013 collection, Formichetti did just that. What's more, he revealed in an interview to WWD that one of his bag designs was inspired by Lady Gaga's backside, or we like to think, her Body Revolution project that inspires women to look and feel good in whatever skin they live in!
What will Lady Gaga wear next

The Avaulta Anterior and Posterior Biosynthetic Support System is a vaginal mesh that is surgically implanted to prevent pelvic organ prolapse (POP), which can occur in women after childbirth or surgery. POP causes the womb to fall into the vaginal area, and can also lead to the bladder and bowels slipping out of place and putting pressure on the vagina, causing considerable pain and discomfort, as well as urinary incontinence in some cases.
On October 20, 2008, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an FDA Warning regarding serious complications associated with transvaginal placement of surgical mesh, including Bard Avaulta surgical mesh. The Bard Avaulta FDA Warning stated that, over the last three years, it has received more than 1,000 reports from nine surgical mesh manufacturers of complications that were associated with surgical mesh devices used to repair Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Stress Urinary Incontinence. Among the surgical mesh products associated with complications are the Avaulta Biosynthetic Support System and Avaulta Plus Biosynthetic Support System, both of which are manufactured by Bard.
Complications with the Bard Avaulta sling appear to be linked to problems with the design of the vaginal mesh. Women have reported suffering problems after Bard Avaulta procedure, including:
In many cases, Bard Avaulta mesh problems have required multiple surgeries to remove the vaginal sling. Even after surgery, women may be left with permanent and disfugiring injuries.
If you have had the Bard Avaulta Transvaginal Mesh Sling implanted and experienced serious Bard Avaulta side effects call our Bard Avaulta lawyer today to find out about an Bard Avaulta lawsuit.

Infertility Treatment May Raise Birth Defect Risk »

Mechanism Of Action
MENOPUR®, administered for 7 to 20 days, produces ovarian follicular growth and maturation in women who do not have primary ovarian failure. Treatment with MENOPUR® in most instances results only in follicular growth and maturation. When sufficient follicular maturation has occurred, hCG must be given to induce ovulation.
Two open-label, randomized, controlled trials were conducted to assess the pharmacokinetics of MENOPUR®. Study 2003-02 compared single doses of subcutaneous administration of the US and European (EU) formulations of MENOPUR® in 57 healthy, pre-menopausal females who had undergone pituitary suppression. The study established that the two formulations are bioequivalent. Study 2000-03 assessed single and multiple doses of MENOPUR® administered subcutaneously and intramuscularly in a 3 phase cross-over design in 33 healthy, pre-menopausal females who had undergone pituitary suppression. The primary pharmacokinetic endpoints were FSH AUC and C max values. The results are summarized in Table 2.

The subcutaneous route of administration trends toward greater bioavailability than the intramuscular route for single and multiple doses of MENOPUR® .
Human tissue or organ distribution of FSH and LH has not been studied for MENOPUR® .
Metabolism of FSH and LH has not been studied for MENOPUR® in humans.
The elimination half-lives for FSH in the multiple-dose phase were similar (11-13 hours) for subcutaneously administered MENOPUR® and intramuscularly administered MENOPUR® .
Clinical Studies
The efficacy of MENOPUR® was established in one randomized, open-label, multicenter, multinational (in Europe and Israel), comparative clinical trial of women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or IVF plus intracytoplasmic injection (ICSI) to achieve pregnancy.
All women began ovarian stimulation as part of an IVF cycle following pituitary suppression with a GnRH agonist. A total of 373 patients were randomized to the MENOPUR® arm. Randomization was stratified by insemination technique [conventional IVF vs. ICSI]. Efficacy was assessed based on the primary efficacy parameter of continuing pregnancy. The initial daily dose of MENOPUR ® was 225 International Units administered subcutaneously for five days. Thereafter, the dose was individualized according to each patient's response, up to a maximum of 450 IU/day for a total maximum duration of stimulation of 20 days. Treatment outcomes are summarized in Table 3.

Long before she unsettled us with reports of her wacky child-feeding technique (chewing her son's food, then depositing it into his mouth), Alicia Silverstone charmed the world with her sassy turn in one of the greatest teen movies of all time, 1995's Clueless. A modern riff on Jane Austen's Emma, the comedy starred Silverstone as a sartorially-obsessed Beverly Hills high schooler named Cher, who discovers that she isn't the airhead she seems. The new Blue-ray dvd release—subtitled the "Whatever!" Edition—offers several special features, including updates on the cast (like Paul Rudd, Scrubs' Donald Faison, the late Brittany Murphy and Suburgatory star Jeremy Sisto), a look back at the film's ground-breaking fashions, and inside stories from the cast and crew. There's even an awesome pop-up trivia game ("Alicia Silverstone's real-life love is an acclaimed wild-life photographer." The answer, of course, is "As if!"—she's married to a musician). Special features aside, Clueless is worth watching again for its charming plot and hilarious lines (Cher: "Dionne and I were both named after female singers of the past, who now do infomercials"; "I was surfing the crimson wave, I had to haul ass to the ladies' room"). Totally classic!—Leslie Van Buskirk
Clueless "Whatever!" Edition from Paramount Home Media on May 1. Buy it here.

College Hockey:Michigan Tech finds something to build on
The Huskies are unbeaten in five games and have a vastly improved power play.
HOUGHTON, Mich. — It has been three years since Michigan Tech fans have had much to get excited about. Year after year, they've watched their Huskies fall to the WCHA's elite squads.
If this year's squad has anything to say about it, that will change.
The Huskies have begun the season on a five-game unbeaten streak. While they haven't exactly beaten the nation's best, they have defeated teams that they will need to if they are going to take a run at a home playoff spot in March.
"It's a great start for us; we've protected home ice [with] three points at home," Michigan Tech coach Jamie Russell said. "It's a great start, but to put it in perspective, it's only a start. We've got a long way to go."
The Huskies are winning games with more scoring and a hungry group of freshmen and sophomores who are not interested in surrendering their spots in the lineup.
"Guys see the progress we are making and it's a long journey," Russell said. "We had eight freshmen in the lineup [last Friday against Minnesota State]. There's going to be peaks and valleys in their play, and mistakes, and teaching opportunities for us as a coaching staff."
Currently, the Huskies have the nation's sixth-best scoring offense, averaging 4.8 goals per game, which is up significantly from the paltry 2.06 they posted last season. One of the big keys to the offensive resurgence for the Huskies has been a willingness to play hard, even when behind.
Another reason for the offensive boost has been the power play, which ranks fourth in the country at 37 percent, with 10 goals in 27 tries. Last season, the Huskies had one of the worst power plays in the nation, scoring only 26 times at a rate of 15.7 percent.
Senior winger Bennett Royer is leading the way for the Huskies on the man advantage; three of his four goals have come on the power play. Freshman linemate Milos Gordic has a pair of power-play markers as well.
Last season, the Huskies had the worst penalty kill in the nation at 71.8 percent. This season, the Huskies are killing penalties at a rate of 85.7 percent, which means that the Huskies have been doing a much better job of getting into passing lanes and blocking shots.
Junior winger Alex MacLeod has also done his part to help in kills — he leads the nation in short-handed goals with two after picking up one on Saturday night against Minnesota State in the first period.
"It's nice to get off a quick start," MacLeod said. "Every day is a day to improve. … You get a lot of self confidence by getting some points."
Another component in the Huskies' offensive prowess has been a philosophical change to the attack, as Russell has encouraged his defensemen to be more aggressive all over the ice, whether carrying the puck in the neutral zone, or pinching in the offensive zone.
The change, which was implemented to help the Huskies compete during their trip to Europe in August, has been nothing short of a revelation so far.
Sophomore Steven Seigo and co-captain Deron Cousens have benefited from the change in tactics. Seigo has put up eight points in the first five games, and Cousens is tied for the lead in the nation in assists with seven.
Two of Seigo's three goals this season have been game-winners, and the other put the Huskies ahead 5-4 on Saturday night.
"We are becoming a lot more aggressive on our forecheck," said Seigo. "[Really] we are just more aggressive overall, [trying to force] the other team to make a lot of turnovers."
The final puzzle piece to the Huskies' solid start has been the play of their freshman class. From forwards Gordic, Dennis Rix and Jacob Johnstone to defenseman Daniel Sova, this group has shown a hunger to be in the lineup and perform.
Gordic, who played eight games and scored one goal last season, has notched three goals and five points this season after being granted a medical hardship waiver. He has begun to figure out that he is physically strong enough to push off of defenders and take the puck to the net.
Two other young forwards, Ryan Furne and Daniel Holmberg, have also shown a penchant for the physical aspects of the game.
"They've done a good job of adapting to the systems that we've instilled this year," Russell said. "We're happy that they are showing up on the score sheet. We need contributions from everybody."
In total, six of the eight freshmen who have played have at least two points. As they mature, they will be counted on to continue to find the back of the net.
Off to their best start since 1972-73, when they went 8-0-0 to start the season, the Huskies have earned some downtime this week before hitting the road next weekend to face No. 15 Wisconsin.

The No. 14 UCLA women's swim and dive team had a solid first day of competition at the Texas Invitational in Austin, TX as the 200 Freestyle Relay team of Anna Poteete, Katie Arnold, Amy Thurman and Katherine Wong led the team with a seventh-place swim in a season-best and NCAA "B" qualifier of 1:33.49. The Bruins also had a seventh-place finish from the 400 Medley Relay team of Arnold, Jeana Fuccillo, Thurman and Poteete, swimming a season-best time of 3:45.41.
The Bruins stand in seventh-place after day one with 75 points, while Arizona leads with 321 points.
"Tonight was a lot better then the prelims this morning," said Assistant Coach Erika Hansen. " We swam a lot better and picked up several NCAA qualifiers, so that was good."
Senior Katie Nelson posted the highest individual performance with her 13th-place swim in the B Final of the 500 Freestyle, improving on her season-best with a swim of 4:50.88, an NCAA "B" qualifier.
Junior Shannon Hackett and senior Jane Imagane also swam season-bests in the 500 Freestyle with Hackett improving to 4:53.07 and Imagane to 4:53.38 for 18th and 19th-place respectively. Both Hackett and Imagane's marks were also NCAA "B" qualifying times.
In the 200 IM, Fuccillo finished 24th in the C Final, swimming 2:04.32, while senior Amy Thurman was 26th in the 50 Free with a season-best 23.62.
In diving action, senior Sara Clark finished eighth on three-meter (259.00 pts.), while Amanda Blong was 10th (251.35). Sophomores Brittany Hill (232.00, 21st), Marisa Samaniego (227.10, 22nd), Tess Schofield (216.60, 26th) and Shannon Pirozzi (192.55, 31st) also competed on 3M.
At the U.S. Open in West Lafayette, IN, former Bruin Kim Vandenberg finished 12th in the 50 Free in a time of 26.76, equaling her lifetime-best in that event. She moved up two spots in the final after finishing 14th in the prelims (26.72). Junior Chiemi Yamamoto, also competing at the U.S. Open, finished 55th in the 200 IM in a time of 2:25.06.

Study of the freshwater algae of Belgium
P. CompèreIn 1896, De Wildeman, working at the Garden, published the first algal flora of Belgium. From 1965 onwards P. Compère resumed work on the Belgian algal flora. One of the main aims is now the publication of the 'Flore pratique des algues d'eau doucce de Belgique'. This flora will include all freshwater algae reported from Belgium in the literature but also those found in recent Belgian collections deposited in BR. It includes descriptions, keys and illustrations of Belgian material. Four parts are already published:
- Cyanophyceae
- Pyrrhophyta, Raphidophyta, Euglenophyta
- Rhodophyta
- Charophyta
- Part 5 will be devoted to Desmids sensu lato: Mesotaeniaceae, Gonatozygaceae, Peniaceae and Closteriaceae.
Study of algal floras and vegetations of tropical Africa
P. CompèreCompère's studies on the algae from various aquatic and subaerial environments in tropical and subtropical Africa are largely based on the author's own collections or on samples collected by other researchers. The most important of these studies concerns the algal flora of Lake Chad and surrounding areas (Chad, Cameroon, Niger, Nigeria); it includes descriptions, keys and illustrations for more than 1400 taxa belonging to the blue-green algae, phytoflagellates, chrysophytes, diatoms, green algae and desmids. Algae have also been studied from the following regions: Ennedi (Chadian Sahara), Aïr mountains (Niger), Red Sea Hills (Sudan), Lybian desert (Libya, Sudan), Zambia (hot springs), Lake of Guiers and lower Senegal river (Senegal), Egypt (hypersaline waterbodies).
Current work includes a study of the algae from central and southern Senegal based on P. Compère's collections as well as a study on aquatic and subaerial algae collected by H. Pohl in western Congo (lower Congo, Kinshasa and Equateur).

This year we were able to reach our expected goal and will be able to put the money raised directly towards support of the college and its programs. This event would not have been possible without the hard work of many staff members from across various areas of campus, which helped create an atmosphere of fun and fellowship for our tournament participants. Ronny Ross and his staff always do a phenomenal job providing such an outstanding venue for our annual tournament, and we are fortunate to have the caliber of facilities like Wolf Hollow as a resource."

Co-Lin company SeaWolf Underwater Robotics Engineering (S.U.R.E.) will compete in the 2016 Marine Advanced Technology (MATE) Center's international student Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) competition at the NASA Johnson Space Center's Neutral Buoyancy Lab in Houston, Texas, June 23-25. This year marks S.U.R.E.'s fifth year to compete in the 15th Annual M.A.T.E. competition. S.U.R.E., also known as "The SeaWolves," is a student operated organization on the Wesson campus and functions as an education-based approach to the design, development, and operation of ROVs. The SeaWolves is comprised of nine-student members and four mentors with departments including physics, drafting, precision machining, electronics engineering, mechanical engineering, and business/entrepreneurship.
M.A.T.E. and S.U.R.E. collectively employ these areas to advocate the education of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). It is the goal to captivate the attention of all people and to promote students learning and using the skills needed to be successful engineers, business/entrepreneurship personnel, and most importantly to be well-rounded individuals capable of adapting to all real-world situations. This attention to being well-rounded and inclusive of all bright thinkers is what sets S.U.R.E. apart from all other ROV teams.
S.U.R.E. utilizes advanced technologies to complete its goal of building the superior ROV for the M.A.T.E. competition; these technologies include Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling, National Instrument's LabVIEW, AutoCAD, and SolidWorks software. The design of SeaWolf V began in August 2015 during which the company members communicated possible designs for the new machine. A Manta ray shaped ROV was suggested as well as a hub-cap ROV and a Star Trek Enterprise styled ROV. The conceptual process is perhaps the most creative process of an ROV company; this is when admitting failures and learning from them is most "ok." Decisions can be made to correct issues early on which is easier than doing it later on. In November, M.A.T.E. placed a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an ROV capable of handling the exploration of Jupiter's Europa and the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. None of these "creative" prototypes would work, so the SeaWolf Company had to be creative in their design for the competition.
After completion of SeaWolf V's major systems, the team prepared a demonstration video of a qualifying run during April. Upon first submission to the M.A.T.E. center, the video recording passed our company for qualification in the 2016 M.A.T.E. international competition. This facility boasts the world's deepest indoor pool facilities measuring 40 feet 6 inches (12.34 m) deep and can contain up to 6.2 million gallons (23.5 million liters) of liquid water.
A unique feature of SeaWolf V is its light and compact design. The ROV was designed with this in mind specifically because the RFP ideally called for a machine under a 58 cm diameter. The SeaWolf V can fit inside a hula hoop and was also designed to fit within an ideal weight constraint of 17.01 kg to 19.0 kg.
To visualize our machine, consider the shape of a microwave or small stereo speaker. At the bottom of SeaWolf V, two rods stretch the length of the machine which serve as legs or feet. The rods are mounted to brackets which are mounted a cylindrical tube. Four thrusters are mounted to the tube; these devices act as the propellers of the ROV. The technology within the electronics tube (E-tube) is most extraordinary. Two cameras, a video encoder, temperature sensors, LED indicators, a S.U.R.E. designed motherboard, and many wiring harnesses with plug-ins are included inside this tube which is about the size of a fully grown house cat.
The SeaWolf Company has proven itself at the international M.A.T.E. competitions placing fourth in the world last year only succeeded by teams from California, Hong Kong, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The Company was the second American team among 31 international teams. The qualifying video and uupdates may be viewed on the SeaWolf Company Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/colinseawolves/?fref=ts. Sponsors for the SeaWolf Company include Georgia-Pacific LLC (Monticello division), Copiah-Lincoln Community College, Brookhaven Country Club, SeaTrepid, I-55 Engineering, and Canvas Next Door Restorations.
CUTLINE: S.U.R.E. Company members are front row from left, Blake Pryor, Lauren Westrope, Kevin McKone (mentor), Reginald King; back row from left, Carey Williamson (mentor), Colby Phillips, Thomas Westrope and Gage Pinson. Not pictured are Charles Miles and Wes Burkett (mentor).

Ambient excellence was the name of the game with the last Hidden Orchestra track we shared, "Vorka," and this time is about to be no different. The second track to the double A side single is "Spoken" and breathes a secret forest ceremony with rumbling drums and distant muffled horns. Really incredible mood these guys know how to create.
The double A-side single will be made available on September 10 and the upcoming second album, Archipelago, is due October 1.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Canada Safeway's attempt to prevent teenagers from buying cigarettes backfired at most of its 27 supermarkets here. Last month, Safeway's Canadian headquarters in Calgary, Alberta, ordered its 200 outlets between Winnipeg and Vancouver to move tobacco products from behind cash registers to customer-service booths. Management believed that older service-desk personnel would be less reluctant than younger cashiers to demand proof of age. Under Safeway policy, anyone who ...

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jun 01st, 2006
Running Time: 62
Director: Nick Phillips
Company: Alternative Cinema
Cast: Rene Bond, Dean Paul, Juliette Charles, Darian Caine, Zoe Moonshine
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Golden Age
A sugary voice-over introduces us to "Les Chic," a gigolo whose style, she explains, is neither "too far out" nor "too faggy." Phillips serves up some nicely composed girl/girl, couple and threesome scenes that make great use of light and shadows.
A non-sex highlight is the post-fuck stroll Chic and Rene Bond take through San Francisco's North Beach district, which looks pretty much the same in this 1972 footage as it does today.
Don't expect the bass-heavy soul or disco music commonly associated with classic porn, however: These body-painting, flower-grasping sexcapades are accented with flutes and folksy guitars. It's the closest thing to hippie porn this reviewer has ever seen, but strangely, that's not a bad thing.

This is actualy pretty good, reminds me of Trixie :)
Though by black hole, I thought more like this: Scienceblogs.com
Vectorise that and have a look...
But yea, I like it, she just need a background now, I also love the bio, seems very fitting.
Hello, my name is Brandon and I just came back from a month of USAF BMT after being medically discharged. Just to clear something up, on all of my online profiles I go by Velancious. I consider myself a fan of many game series to even count. The only notable fanbase I take direct part in is the brony fandom. If I had to pick a favorite pony, it would have to be Pinkie Pie, but even that pick is a very slight one. I love the Mane 6, but Pinkie seems to have the closest personality to me. My beliefs? I have none, but if you must classify me, I'm an agnostic-atheist. My personality type is INTJ.
This is actualy pretty good, reminds me of Trixie :)
Though by black hole, I thought more like this: Scienceblogs.com
Vectorise that and have a look...
But yea, I like it, she just need a background now, I also love the bio, seems very fitting.
I also updated the bio of Azure Spark, so go check it out when you can. Oh and yes, I thought of Trixie while designing her. I will try to update what I can to make her look even better. I'm also going to slim down the image.
I felt like enlarging her mark because it would really fit this design I was going for with her. Still, it's a very experimental design, and maybe a little unorthodox.
It needs a little sharpening now, as a lot of the edges are jagged, CS5 can easily do that :)
I fixed it a bit, I'll work on it more later. The jagged edges were caused by the 10 different lighting effects that are effecting different areas of her. Sometimes they **** up the image which can show up when the background color is changed. This can create jagged edges which distort the 'vectored' dark grey lines that surround her character. With Azure Spark, I never had this problem because I spaced out any lighting effects I had, which resulted in no collisions.

Another character in the "Fighting 5" group currently in development. Starry Night is the sparkly, dark unicorn that represents the element of magic known as "Arcane". She is easily agitated by failure, but nonetheless is a brilliant tactician and by-the-books strategist. She shows little emotion, if at all, and almost never laughs. Starry is known to be the personal carrier of information between both Celestia and Luna. She is even known to be one of the only unicorns skilled in the use of "dark matter". Her mane seems to 'shine' bright lights, thought to be stars reflecting off of her mark, which quickly become a lighter hue of blue the closer you are to her.
Her black hole cutie mark is unique in that it stretches out across her torso. It represents the vastness of the universe and the intriguing conflict between dark matter and matter itself. Starry gained her cutie mark when she learned how to manipulate this "dark matter" in the physical, material world. This has allowed her to master amazing feats thought impossible by other unicorns also skilled in the element of Arcane magic.
