Rajasthan's opulent capital is a magical land brimming with desert camps and lakeside palaces. Sitting on the edge of the Thar desert and surrounded by the Aravali hills, the Pink City boasts of hilltop forts, bustling bazaars and the best pyaaz kachoris you'll ever taste. Among the places to visit in Jaipur, the grandiose pink sandstone Palace of Winds, or Hawa Mahal, towering over the hustling streetscapes and the majestic City Palace are the ones attracting the most tourists. The 18th century old astronomical observatory of Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is a UNESCO world heritage site and a major tourist attraction. Perched proudly on the top of a hill is Amber Fort, dating back to the 16th century. The red sandstone structure houses palaces, temples, gardens and a lake inside its premises. One of the most favoured things to do in Jaipur is to walk through the lively Bapu Bazaar, and come out with bags stocked with bandhani-printed sarees, lac bangles, meenakari trinkets and blue pottery. And while you're at it, shop for some string puppets or kathputlis that make for some excellent souvenirs. Galtaji temple, also called the Monkey Temple, is another must visit. If your eyes just can't get enough, visit Amber Fort, which has its own 600-year-old story to narrate, through its spectacular light and sound shows, cultural performances and folk music. Rajasthani tailored clothes, jewellery and handicrafts are a huge hit as souvenirs, for their exquisite mirror work, embroidery, leather and splashes of colour. Some famous places this illustrious workmanship can be bought from are Rajasthali, Anokhi, Johari bazaar and Sireh Deori Bazaar, but remember to bargain. Central Museum and Albert Hall museum are great places to learn about Rajasthan's rich history and culture and also to buy handicrafts. The Jaipur Literature Festival, the world's largest free literature festival, is dear to almost every bibliophile around the globe. Here, enjoy literature and music, amidst the likes of William Dalrymple, Stephen Fry and many other renowned writers and personalities. The 5-day festival is hosted in Diggi Palace, which gives people around the world an insight into Rajasthan's captivating cultural heritage. For those interested in pampering their palates with the flavourful Rajasthani cuisine against the backdrop of a picturesque village should visit Chokhni Dani. For a regal experience, a stay at the Suvarna Mahal is a must visit.

The melodious chorus of temple bells, the sweet fragrance of incense and the positive energy in Mathura city all come together to offer you an experience unlike another. The most popular temple in the birthplace of Shri Krishna is the Dwarkadesh Temple, which is home to a lovely shrine of Lord Krishna and Radha among other deities. And if you happen to visit the temple during the festivals of Janmashtami, Diwali and Holi, you'll be in for a huge surprise. The energy of the temple and the city will take you by storm and you will fall in love with the small energetic town. The culture of Mathura is perhaps what attracts people to this lovely town rather than its mythological importance, though one can't deny or undermine its mythological significance. Among other places to visit, you can head to Vishram Ghat, Rangji temple and Govind Deo temple. Sacred for both Jains and Buddhists, Mathura sees people from across the world. A meeting point for people from all cultures, there is much to learn and explore in this lovely city. Finding a place to to stay here is not a problem at all since there are a number of small dharamshalas as well as luxurious resorts.

Situated close to the vibrant city of Jaipur, Alwar is a perfect weekend getaway. Home to the wonderful Sariska Tiger Reserve, the grand City Palace and the stunning Siliserh Lake, Alwar offers you a mix of history, architecture and nature. Though the Sariska Tiger Reserve is perhaps the best way to spend your time in Alwar, you can also spend a little time exploring the lake and Government Museum. When visiting the reserve, do book a safari in advance lest you miss out on a great slot. Early mornings and early evenings are the best way to explore the reserve. Boasting of tigers, including the Bengal Tiger, the reserve is home to the Indian Leopard, Indian Jackal, Sambhar and Wild Boars. Of course, you'll also spot monkeys making a ruckus and a crowd of Neelgais and that is quite fun to watch as well. Avoid eating anything while on the safari since it's a strict no. The Siliserh Lake is another lovely spot where you can indulge in a bit of boating and a delicious lunch. The food here is a bit on the expensive side but it's totally worth it. While here, you can also take a trip to City Palace. You may feel that there are tons of palaces around Rajasthan that are way more beautiful, but this one has its own charm. Away from the chaos of the main city, it offers you a respite from dilapidated, ill maintained forts. Do try food at one of the restaurants in the city. Not only is the food delicious, the hospitality is warm and adds to the meal.

The City of Rajputs, Bundi, maybe not as popular as other cities in Rajasthan, but nevertheless is no less captivating. The city is cloaked by hills on three sides and is home to a number of palaces and forts. It is believed to have got its name from a tribal head Bundi who called it 'bunda ka nal', which means narrow way. A monumental prodigy that has stood the test of time is the Garh Palace. The walls with contemporary paintings and manicured gardens make the palace or fort a spectacle in itself. The many stepwells or baoris inside display the strong engineering skills from centuries ago. The riveting wells go very deep and are considered to the primary form of harvesting rainwater. Raniji ki Baori is one of them with elegant tall pillars and beautiful carvings. The Taragarh Fort or the Star Fort is a colossal that has been stunning people with its architecture since the ancient past. Alongside the fort is the Bundi Palace that houses the many murals and frescoes. Hadoti Palace or Nawal Sagar Palace are perfect if you want a royal stay at Bundi. Neither are the streets of Bundi as choked as the other cities nor are the attractions crowded with tourists, making it just the quaint town you want for a relaxing trip. Namaste Cafe, Lakha and Kipling Cafe promise delectable meals to satiate your palate.

One step ahead towards curing HIV
A breakthrough has been achieved by scientists in curing HIV potentially. They found a way in which dead cells in an HIV infected person can be replaced by HIV-resistant cells.
Researchers at The Scrapp Reasearch Institute (TSRI) in US observed in an experiment that damaged cells can be replaced by the virus resistant cells and the antibodies that will be on the surface of these cells will prevent HIV from accessing a cell receptor. Jia Xie, auther of the first study and a senior scientist at (TSRI) said, "This protection would be long-term."
The researchers are now looking forward to a collaboration with an independent research and treatment center of such deadly diseases in the US – City of Hope.

The Orioles have a chance to put three different series losing streaks and stretches to an end with a win tonight at Toronto in the series finale.
This season, they are 0-6-1 in their last seven series since taking two of three from the Reds from June 24-26.
A win would also end the O's current nine-series road losing streak. The Orioles are 6-22 on the road since taking two of three in St. Pete against Tampa Bay from May 13-15.
The Orioles can also end a nine-series losing run at Toronto's Rogers Centre. A win tonight would give the Orioles their first series victory there since June 6-8, 2008.
By the way, the Orioles are 41-59 now at the 100-game mark with 62 to play.
Meanwhile, those hard-charging Single-A Frederick Keys won again this afternoon, completing a 6-1 homestand today by beating Salem 3-2 at Harry Grove Stadium.
Mike Flacco hit a two-run homer in the seventh and I hear that he told reporters after the game, "I'm pretty good."
Miguel Abreu's RBI double in the eighth broke a 2-2 tie. Justin Moore got the win in relief and Sean Gleason added to his club season-record saves total by picking up his league-leading 30th.
Manny Machado went 0-for-3 and is batting .268, and Jonathan Schoop went hitless and is batting .231.
The Keys improved to 22-11 in the second half and they have the best record in the Carolina League at 63-39. That is seven more wins than the next closest club.
By the way, Frederick is one of three Orioles farm clubs in first place right now. The Gulf Coast League team beat the Red Sox 8-3 in 11 innings this afternoon, improving its division-leading record to 20-13. The GCL Orioles have the best team ERA in that league at 2.00.
The Orioles' Dominican Summer League entry leads its division with a record of 32-18.
Update: The Orioles got a pair of solo homers in the top of the first tonight. J.J Hardy hit his fourth leadoff homer of the year on an 0-1 pitch from Carlos Villanueva. It was his 17th on the season and his 15th in the last 48 games. Vladimir Guerrero hit his eighth of the year two batters later for a 2-0 lead. Toronto tied it 2-2 in the last of the first against Brad Bergesen, who threw 30 pitches in the inning.
Final update: The Orioles lost the series finale 8-5 at Toronto. Brad Bergesen gave up six runs over three innings to fall to 2-7. O's starters gave up 13 runs over 13 innings in this series. The Orioles have now lost 10 straight series at Toronto and they have lost their last 10 road series this year.
J.J Hardy had another two-homer game and now has hit 18 on the year and 16 over his last 48 games.
The Orioles play at New York Friday night with Jeremy Guthrie on the mound.

Primary Election Results
By now, you've most likely seen or heard the results of the primary election held on Tuesday, September 13, 2011. In District 1, Israel M. Grossman and Ernest Glen Burgess finished within four votes of each other to move on to the general election in November. In District 2, incumbent Morris Pratt survived the primary and will face a tough campaign with Kristie Steadman Overson who finished first in the polls with 133 more ballots than Pratt. In District 3, incumbent Jerry Rechtenbach cruised through the primary collecting over 52% of the votes. He will face Dave Ballou in November.
While we congratulate the candidates who will move on the general election, we should thank all who gave their time, efforts and money to run for office. It isn't easy to put yourself out there, share your ideas and vision for the city hoping that it all resonates with the electorate. It is particularly difficult in municipal elections that are non-partisan which means little to no help or guidance from political parties.
Knowing this, a few brave souls tossed their hats into the ring. Democracy works best when people come forward to present their ideas on improving our government. In the marketplace of ideas, our Founding Father had faith that the best ideas would rise to the top. Competition for political office is essential to ensuring that our government continues to represent the ideals of the people. So if you happen to see John E. Gidney, William J. "Bill" Forsgren, Marsha RosatiDykes or Daniel Steven Isham pat them on the back, thank them and encourage them to stay involved and engaged in improving our city.
On another note. . .
As you no doubt have heard, our community suffered a great loss with the death of Sherri Winder in a tragic car accident. She and husband, Kent, who suffered serious injuries as well, owned Winder Farms. Together, they were the rare combination of successful business owners, responsible corporate partners, civic minded individuals and devoted parents. Sherri was the co-chair of the Taylorsville Incorporation effort. Kent served on Taylorsville's first City Council. Kent and Sherri are the parents of our own Aimee Newton, Taylorsville's Director of Communications (and the usual author of this blog). Although I did not know Sherri in this lifetime, from what I have learned through my association with the remarkable daughter she raised, she must have been a very special person.

More than two months after Superstorm Sandy, homeowners across New York are waiting for their mortgage companies and banks to release their residential insurance claim settlements. While some insurance companies have handed out insurance settlement checks weeks ago, many people cannot use the money until their mortgage lenders endorse their checks. This is because checks are generally made out to both the mortgage lender and the homeowner.
While homeowners are struggling with the costs of rebuilding and paying their bills, the administrative process in getting checks endorsed by mortgage lenders takes time—often weeks. Until the mortgage companies endorse the checks, homeowners are unable to access the funds.
For homeowners with damaged homes, they stand to lose millions if their homes aren't repaired or rebuilt to their original state.
The practice of writing insurance claim settlement checks to both the homeowner and the lender is a long-standing practice to prevent insurance fraud. But in the wake of Sandy, with so many people with property damage and needing the settlements to repair their homes, they had to:
- Incur more costs
- Delay repairs
- Dip into their 401K or retirement accounts
This delay in releasing money has held up storm-ravaged neighborhoods from rebuilding, especially in Long Island. This is because many people whose settlements exceed $20,000 are left with a liquidity problem while mortgage companies hold their insurance settlements in escrow accounts and release money in installments as more work is complete.
While banks are required to inspect the home for repairs and confirm that the homeowner is using a licensed contractor for such repairs, homeowners find the process difficult as many contractors want more money up front than what the mortgage company will pay out. Also, homeowners often have to wait longer for repairs since banks send inspectors to approve the contractors and repairs.
Now, eleven major lenders have agreed to speed up the process of releasing initial payments to homeowners to start repairs following Sandy property damages. These lenders include Bank of America, Citi Mortgage, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, M&T Bank, Apple Savings, Dime Savings Bank of Williamsburg, Emigrant Savings Bank, Homeward Residential, New York Community Bank and Ocwen Loan Servicing.
However, if you are still facing your settlement money being released too slowly, the New York Department of Financial Services wants to hear from you.

Health Department courts controversy over water fluoridation
Draft regulations setting out how local consultations should be held over proposals to fluoridate drinking water supplies in England were issued by the Department of Health at the end of July.1 The proposals are at odds with key statements previously made by Ministers to Parliament, and seem unlikely to alleviate concerns that the Department is intent on easing the way to widespread fluoridation in the face of public opposition.

Chicago, IL (PressExposure) July 02, 2009 -- Andropause: Its Signs, Symptoms and Treatment Options
What is âLow Testosterone?â Low testosterone, also called hypogonadism, occurs when the testes produce smaller amounts of testosterone than is considered a normal range. Not as well known a term as female menopause, Andropause, is the term for the naturally occurring drop in testosterone. A ballpark normal range for total testosterone in males is 300-1100ng/dl, with 700ng/dl being the mean. This site however quotes 437 to 707 ng/dl as a normal range. You should base your results on the lab that performed your tests range, not these. Regardless of the performing lab, your results appear to be low, particularly for the free testosterone value.
Another sources believe normal ranges to be: 15.0- 40.0 pg/ml as a normal range for free testosterone, and 300ng/dl 1,000ng/dl for total testosterone.
Free testosterone 50-210 pictograms per milliliter (pg/mL) and total testosterone 300ng/dl -1,000ng/dl
Clinicians should look at the level of free active testosterone (FAT) rather than total testosterone to get an accurate reading. Measuring FAT is much more accurate. Additionally, along with measuring total testosterone, serum estrogen level should be taken. High serum estrogen may produce the symptoms of reduced testosterone. If the serum estrogen level is high, the patient is given medication that turns off the estrogen production.
The Beginning of Andropause Starting at the age of 30, men experience a drop in testosterone by about 10% every decade, while amounts of the hormone that are still being manufactured may not be as effective because of increased production of another hormone called SBHG. For some men, this decrease in testosterone results in a condition called Andropause, which has a range of symptoms, including:
⢠low sex drive ⢠difficulties getting erections or erections that are not as strong as usual ⢠lack of energy ⢠depression ⢠irritability and mood swings ⢠loss of strength or muscle mass ⢠increased body fat ⢠hot flashes
As many as 50% of all men may have low levers of testosterone.
The following is a variety of causes of low testosterone (hypogonadism):
⢠chronic/systemic illness ⢠surgery ⢠chemotherapy ⢠infections ⢠premature aging ⢠testicular trauma ⢠stress ⢠Kleinfelter's syndrome ⢠autoimmune damage ⢠tobacco and alcohol ⢠sleep apnea ⢠excessive heat ⢠obesity ⢠hypercortisolism ⢠medications ⢠hyperthyroidism ⢠malnutrition
Subtle clinical signs of hypogonadism may include slight gynecomastia (enlarged, male breasts) and soft, small testes. However, researchers have noted that "the findings of physical examination in men with adult-onset hypogonadism are often normal.â
Secondary hypogonadism can develop as a result of hypothalamic or pituitary disease, obesity, hypothyroidism or other causes. Some conditions, such as hypercortisolemia, AIDS and severe systemic illnesses, can trigger hypogonadism through a combination of both primary and secondary mechanisms.
One cause was omitted from the list above, and that is diabetes. About one third of men with type 2 diabetes show low levels of testosterone, and this is seems to be related to abnormal function of the pituitary gland -- the master regulator of hormone production.
Although lower total testosterone levels have been reported in type 2 diabetics, the underlying cause has not been known.
Testosterone helps men reduce body fat and improves the way their bodies handle insulin. So low testosterone levels may have serious consequences for men with diabetes.
Testosterone and Depression There is increasing evidence of an association between testosterone levels and male depression. Two epidemiological studies examined this relationship, with inconclusive results. Observational studies comparing the mean testosterone levels of groups of depressed men with those of non-depressed controls have also yielded discrepant findings. In both types of studies diurnal, seasonal situational and age-related variability in testosterone secretion may have contributed to the inconsistent results.
Leading experts in the field of brain research have observed that "sex steroids exert profound effects on mood and mental state." Many studies have established a direct relationship between decreased testosterone levels and negative mood factors such as depression, anger, confusion, anxiety, and fatigue. Current research has found that testosterone replacement used to restore androgen balance in hypogonadal men improved many emotional parameters, including friendliness, energy levels, and sense of well-being. Significantly, these benefits were maintained over the course of a six-month period of therapy, precluding the possibility of a short-term placebo effect.
Men who have low testosterone levels are more likely to suffer depression, says an article in the February issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry. Researchers examined the clinical records of 278 men, 45 years or older. Over a two-year period, 21.7 percent of the men with testosterone deficiency (hypogonadism) were diagnosed with depression, compared with 7.1 percent of men with normal testosterone levels. When they adjusted for age, alcohol use and other factors, the researchers concluded that men with hypogonadism were 4.2 times more likely to be diagnosed with depression. "Hypgonadal men showed an increased incidence of depressive illness and a shorter time to diagnosis of depression. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm these preliminary findings and to clarify the role of testosterone in the treatment of depressive illness in older men," the study authors write.
But there's no reason for this condition to get so many men down. Doctors can easily diagnose low testosterone with a simple blood, urine or saliva test. If levels come back low, further testing, including more blood tests, taking a sample of tissue from the testicles (called a biopsy), semen analysis, or brain imaging may be required. Once low testosterone is diagnosed, there are a number of different treatment options.
It's normal for men to lose testosterone gradually, beginning in their 20s. By age 75, half a man's testosterone is gone. Some menâs testosterone levels even switch off prematurely. "The real issue is that if they get into their 60s and 70s and it falls even below that, based upon where they started, or if they see a more accelerated drop, they may be at risk for the problems associated with low testosterone," said Dr. Laurence Levine, a urologist at Rush Presbyterian Hospital.
The clinical description is called hypogonadism. Others call it male menopause or irritable male syndrome. Symptoms can include fatigue, depression, weight gain, loss of energy, and less sex drive.
Loss of testosterone, which happens normally as men age, may also be the root of memory loss. Previous studies have shown memory loss to be common in men with prostate cancer who have had treatment with testosterone deprivation therapy. The therapy involves reducing the body's production of testosterone and is a common treatment for prostate cancer. However, it wipes out most of the male hormones in the body. Receptors for testosterone are located in the brain's memory centers.
Testosterone and Rheumatoid Arthritis There does seem to be a link between low testosterone and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but it is not well documented or researched. It appears that some men with RA do have lower levels of testosterone, but why remains to be seen. There is a proven link however, between testosterone and osteoporosis in males.
The male sex hormone testosterone exerts a powerful, far-ranging influence over emotional well-being, sexual function, muscle mass and strength, energy, cardiovascular health, bone integrity, and cognitive ability throughout a man's entire life.
This profile also provides clear insight into testosterone's synergistic impact on The most common symptoms of testosterone deficiency in men (e.g., loss of libido, sexual dysfunction, fatigue, loss of stamina, depressed mood) are vague and not specific for hypogonadism. Furthermore, men as a group interact with the healthcare system far less often than women, and when they do visit the physician's office, they often do not volunteer such complaints unless directly questioned about them. Physicians can minimize the chance of missing these complaints by routinely asking about libido, sexual function, and stamina in their systems assessment. An alternative is to use a simple questionnaire that patients can fill out in the waiting room.
Patients with normal or slightly low levels of testosterone most likely will derive no benefit from replacement therapy and as such it is not recommended.
Testosterone therapy can be administered in several ways, such as gels, injections, patches, injections and implants. Testosterone replacement has also been linked to improvement in men's mental functioning, night sweats, bone density and muscle mass.
Transdermal Delivery: Gels, Creams, Patches, and Pellets Human skin is able to absorb hormones into the bloodstream rather effectively. Controlled transdermal delivery of testosterone, at a contstant rate is possible, maintaining a steady blood level. Injections can cause very high and very low levels. About 50% of men who participated in clinical trials had a skin reaction to the patch, ranging from mild to blisters. It was found that applying a 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide cream before applying the patch eliminated most skin reactions.
Because scrotal skin is at least 5 times more permeable to testosterone than are other skin sites, the first available testosterone transdermal delivery system (Testoderm; AlzaPharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif) was designed as a scrotal patch. Patients using the scrotal testosterone system have reported substantially improved sexual function, including the achievement of potency, and an improvement in sense of well-being, mood, and energy.
Testosterone gel may increase muscle mass in men, but it is not without potential side effects. Testosterone may lower HDL, known as the âGood Cholesterolâ, and some studies show it may cause liver problems in some men. Although testosterone has not been shown to cause prostate cancer, it can accelerate cancer growth in men that may have unknown prostate cancer.
Nonscrotal transdermal testosterone patches (Androderm, Testoderm TTS) are applied daily and are available in a 2.5-mg (Androderm) and a 5-mg (Androderm and Testoderm TTS) dose. Blood testosterone levels rise to peak values within 4 to 6 hours after application, then decrease slightly to remain within the physiologic range over the next 18 to 20 hours. Applying a patch after showering at night can reproduce diurnal testosterone levels similar to those seen in younger men, in whom morning values are somewhat higher than evening ones. The most common side effect reported is skin irritation. Its frequency seems to increase with age in men over age 50. It often can be prevented or reduced by rubbing triamcinolone cream (Aristocort, Atolone, Kenacort) into the skin before application of the patch.
AndroGel is a clear gel that is rubbed into the shoulders, upper arms or abdomen every day to maintain more even levels of testosterone in the body. It's available only by prescription, and men who take it must be evaluated and monitored by a doctor. AndroGel has caught the attention of men like Poltz because it is easier to use than previous testosterone medications. Until AndroGel hit the market, men needing a testosterone boost had to givethemselves injections or wear a patch on their skin. Injections can't mimic the body's fine control of the hormone, so men often experience emotional and physical ups and downs, including irritability right after the injection and fatigue as it wears off. The patches maintain testosterone at a more even level but can cause skin irritation and may fall off in hot weather. For years, doctors have used testosterone as a medical treatment for some men who have abnormally low levels of the hormone because of the aging process, chronic disease or exposure to alcohol or chemicals. Symptoms of low testosterone include fatigue, decreased sex drive, depression and low energy. Between 4 million to 5 million men have this medical condition, according to Unimed Pharmaceuticals, the company that makes AndroGel. Some experts say that about 25 percent of men go through andropause, the male version of menopause, in which levels of testosterone drop significantly with age. However, in most men, testosterone levels don't change much with age.
Scrotal patch (Testoderm). Thin scrotal skin is much more permeable to testosterone absorption than other skin sites. You apply this patch in the morning and remove it before bathing or sexual intercourse. Itching and skin irritation can occur, but they're usually mild and diminish with continued use. Nonscrotal patch (Androderm). This patch is applied each night to your back, abdomen, upper arm or thigh. The site of the application is rotated to maintain 7-day intervals between applications to the same site. Up to 50 percent of men experience some skin reaction to this product, with approximately 7 percent having a severe reaction.
You rub testosterone gel (AndroGel, Testim) into your skin on your lower abdomen, upper arm or shoulder. As the gel dries, your body absorbs testosterone through your skin. Avoid showering or bathing for several hours after an application to ensure adequate absorption. A potential side effect of the gel is the possibility of transferring the medication to your partner. You can avoid this by waiting approximately 5 hours after an application or covering the area before having skin-to-skin contact.
Testosterone Injections In men 20-50 years of age, an intramuscular injection of 200 to 300 mg testosterone enanthate is generally sufficient to produce serum testosterone levels that are supranormal initially and fall into the normal ranges over the next 14 days. Fluctuations in testosterone levels may yield variations in libido, sexual function, energy, and mood. Some patients may be inconvenienced by the need for frequent testosterone injections.11 Increasing the dose to 300 to 400 mg may allow for maintenance of eugonadal levels of serum testosterone for up to three weeks, but higher doses will not lengthen the eugonadal period.
Testosterone injections should NOT be used in the following circumstances:
⢠Breast cancer in men ⢠Breastfeeding ⢠Cancer of the prostate ⢠Pregnancy
This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to one or any of its ingredients. Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have previously experienced such an allergy. If you feel you have experienced an allergic reaction, stop using this medicine and inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately. Medicines and their possible side effects can affect individual people in different ways. The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with this medicine. Because a side effect is stated here, it does not mean that all people using this medicine will experience that or any side effect.
Possible Side Effects of Testosterone Injections:
⢠Persistent painful erection of the penis (priapism) ⢠Reduced volume of ejaculation ⢠Premature closure of the ends of bones in prepubescent males
causing stunted growth ⢠Decreased sperm count (oligospermia) ⢠Hoarse voice ⢠Sodium and water retention ⢠Increased frequency of erections in prepubescent boys ⢠Premature sexual development in prepubescent boys ⢠Enlargement of the penis in prepubescent boys
Oral Testosterone Although testosterone supplements are manufactured in capsule or pill form, they are not generally recommended for use in the United States. They are quickly broken down by the liver and do not achieve high enough blood levels to be useful. They also may cause adverse changes in blood lipids (fats) and liver damage. [AACE Clinical Practice Guidelines]
Cholestatic hepatitis and jaundice may occur at relatively low doses of 17-alkylated androgens.
Pellet Implants Pellets are a newer, testosterone delivery system.
The pellet is loaded in the pellet inserter and placed into the buttock once every 2-5 months. The pellets slowly release the hormone, usually preventing a 'crash' in hormones until the end of treatment. Most insurance companies, including Blue Cross, reimburse the placement of pellets. The pellets may or may not be reimbursable by individual policies. Medicare does not cover pellets.
Many years ago, the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of testosterone pellets for male hormone deficiencies. They are manufactured in our office by a compounding pharmacist. We place 6-8 testosterone pellets under the skin. These pellets dissolve slowly over a period of approximately three to four months. This provides a normal and very stable serum testosterone level. I feel that the addition of androgens in this form causes less lowering of HDL cholesterol, as this does not pass through the liver
Side Effects of Testosterone Therapy Androgen therapy does lead to recovery of a normal prostate size (the prostate shrinks when testosterone levels are low). It does not affect prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels. Androgen therapy is not thought to increase the risk of prostate cancer above that of men with naturally higher testosterone levels of the same age. However, the safety of androgen therapy on the cardiovascular system, prostate and mental functioning still needs to be properly studied. Further well conducted investigations into whether androgen therapy benefits bone and muscle are also needed.
Androgen therapy is believed to be a risk factor for heart disease but the existing studies are inconclusive. In fact, low testosterone levels have been recorded prior to heart attacks which may indicate that hormone therapy could help protect against cardiovascular disease.
The use of androgens should also be used with caution in older men who may have undiagnosed prostate cancer. Sleep apnea is also an occasional risk factor with androgen therapy.
With any testosterone delivery system, prolonged use may cause liver damage, breast enlargement, or increase the risk of prostate enlargement. Geriatric patients who could be at risk of prostate cancer should be evaluated prior to initiation of treatment. In addition, fluid accumulation may be a serious complication in patients with preexisting heart, kidney or liver disease, with or without heart failure. Men with breast cancer or known or suspected prostate cancer should not receive testosterone therapy. The patch, gel and injections are not indicated for use in women and should not be used in women. Testosterone may cause fetal harm.
Patients taking testosterone should be instructed to report any of the following to their physician:
⢠Too frequent or persistent erections ⢠Any nausea, vomiting, changes in skin color, or ankle swelling ⢠Breathing disturbances, including those associated with sleep.

'The Sessions' Gets the Goods —TRAILER
Earlier this year at Sundance, a movie called The Surrogate came out and wowed crowds with its earnest, feel-goody portrayal of the story of Mark O'Brien, polio-stricken journalist. Fast forward a few months, and the film—now dubbed The Sessions—has a release date, a trailer, and a poster. Lucky for you, we have all three right here in this neatly-packaged post, just for you.
The film stars the truly wonderful John Hawkes as Mark O'Brien, the 38-year-old journalist and poet from California who has been confined to a life on an iron lung since age six. This doesn't dispirit his hopes to lose his virginity, though, and he embarks on a truly unconventional adventure. Seeking guidance (and a sort of spiritual permission) from his priest (that charming man William H. Macy), O'Brien goes on an emotional and physical journey thanks to his newly-hired sex surrogate played by Helen Hunt. Hawkes' O'Brien has a love and excitement for life that feels downright brave, and Hunt's Cheryl really shines through even in this quick glimpse. After years of Hunt playing it fairly lowkey in her career, we're excited to see what this film does for her, and what she does for the film. Needless to say, things look promising.
The film's heart seems to lie in its ability to take something so personal as intimate relations and make it a common goal for this man's circle. The crux, of course, comes when that relationship ultimately suffers from the complications of being, well, a human relationship. Us humans are complicated beasts, especially when emotions and intimacy are involved, huh? However, it looks like the film handles that balance with a funny bit of grace—going beyond any sort of saccharine pit it could otherwise very easily fall into.
While at Sundance the film picked up a few awards, so if you hadn't heard the buzz before, get ready for it now: this film has "Oscar Race" written all over it. Check out the trailer and poster below. The film is slated for release on October 26th, 2012.

Davis Committee to start a new tax review era
by February 27, 2014 7:30 am0
"The turnover tax regime will be amended to further reduce the tax burden on micro-enterprises, [and] consideration is being given to replacing the graduated tax structure for small business corporations with a refundable tax compliance credit," said Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan during his budgetary address in parliament on Wednesday.
Since the last tax system review, South Africa's tax system has significantly changed, including the establishment of the South African Revenue Service, broadening of the tax base and lowering of marginal tax rates. The Davis Tax Comittee is now tasked with reviewing the entire tax system.
"[The budget is] very clearly aimed at insuring that we broaden the tax base in South Africa, and making the cost of complying with our tax legislation lower. Certainly the income tax act, as it stands today, is a fairly complicated set of legislation," Ben-Schoeman Geldenhuys, director of corporate tax at KPMG, told CNBC Africa.
"For small businesses [and] micro-businesses, it's most certainly something that they won't get their minds around in general, and hence this initiative is definitely to be welcomed."
Geldenhuys added that the successful broadening of the tax base would not only have positive implications for the tax payer but also for the entire wellbeing of the economy. Simplifying our current tax structure to the layman will however be instrumental in their compliance with it.
"I think the simplification of the current tax structure is going to be something that the Davis Committee will be looking at. We've had a lot of legislation announced in the budget, and a lot of legislation coming through in previous years, [with] lots of complex changes aimed at anti-avoidance in particular, which are lengthy and difficult to navigate your way through," Andrew Wellsted, head of tax at Norton Rose Fulbright, explained.
"This year, there are certainly some technical amendments but there is not the sheer volume that we've been anticipating. It's certainly a welcome breather for the tax-paying community and the tax-practitioner community, because the tax changes that they have mentioned are actually focusing on certain technical issues."
There were however aspects that the budget failed to shed light on, including how much would be allocated towards the National Health Insurance scheme and how the defence budgetary expenditure will be spent.
Since South Africa's involvement in the Central African Republic, national treasury expenditure allocation to such activity is now more than ever of particular importance.
"At the end of the day, [the Davis Committee] needs to gauge the changes they make in the context of the political landscape. It's job is to look at the entire tax landscape of South Africa, also take into consideration international norms, and come up with a view which helps us with a more balanced approach to managing tax," said Gerard Soverall, tax partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
"That's everything from rates to instances of tax, to administrative burden, and I think it would've been probably the wrong thing to do to pre-empt the outcome of that committee's work."
Soverall added that working with the current frameworks and tax regimes rather than new ones would aslso be far better in the long-run for the economy and the country.
"I think we've got to wait for the Davis committee to actually come out with what its report is going to be, and then I think [they'll] probably look at implementing that," said Rob Stretch, director of general and capital gains tax at Ernst & Young.
"Overall I'd think that there's got to be a balance between the various taxes, between your direct personal taxes on individuals and corporates, and your VAT collections and also your other indirect taxes. One's also got to be realistic that the taxes that are introduced or the balance of the taxes need to be [in] an investor-friendly environment."

Padraig Harrington finishes sixth in Hawaii as Jordan Speith romps to victory
Jordan Spieth strolled to a seventh PGA Tour title with an eight-shot victory in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in Hawaii, which saw him come close to a recording-breaking 72-hole score.
The world number one came into the final round five shots in front of Brooks Koepka, but there was never any danger of anyone catching him as he carded a six-under-par 67 to finish a staggering -30.
If his birdie attempt at 17 had not fell a foot short of the hole, he would have levelled the PGA record for 72 holes of 31 under which is held by Ernie Els.
Although the 22-year-old missed out on history, he was in glorious form in Hawaii and proved comparisons to Tiger Woods are not misplaced as he becomes the third youngest man to reach seven PGA titles, taking just a month longer than Woods.
Had Spieth matched his second-round score of 64 he would have broken Els' record, but he saved his highest score of the tournament for the final round.
It still contained seven birdies and one bogey and was enough to ensure a sixth tour win in the last 21 outings.
However, he is keen to play down any comparisons to Woods.
"I am nowhere near, I don't think there's any reason to compare, it is awfully early," he said. "I'm very excited with where I am at as a start to my career and what Tiger has done I can't imagine ever being done again, but it's very nice to be in that company.
"Any time that you can get into the company of him and other great players, it's a goal I've had since I was a little kid."
On his performance, he added: "I'm very satisfied. I felt comfortable all week, I felt it was just a short three-week break over the holidays and then just trying to continue what I was doing last year. It worked this week and all parts of the game were firing."
First-round leader Patrick Reed finished in second place after a four-under-par 69 ensured a -22 score while Koepka, who started the round in second place, slipped back to tied third with Brandt Snedeker.
Three-time major winner Padraig Harrington closed with a final round 67 which consisted of six birdies and 12 pars in a tie for sixth.
The 44-year-old's performance saw him rise 22 places in the world rankings and now lies in 120th. He will need to make his way back into the world's top 50 to gain a place at the US Masters in Augusta in April.
It was announced today that the Dubliner's 18-year association with Wilson will continue.
"My association with Wilson Staff clubs is one of the longest and most successful in the game and I'm delighted to see it continue," Harrington said. "I can always rely on Wilson Staff clubs when I get into contention and the support I get out on the Tour is second to none."
Graeme McDowell finished on -4.

django-pyodbc 1.1.1
Django 1.5-1.10 SQL Server backend using pyodbc.django-pyodbc
.. |version| image:: http://img.shields.io/pypi/v/django-pyodbc.svg?style=flat
.. _version: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-pyodbc
django-pyodbc is a `Django <http: djangoproject.com="">`_ SQL Server DB backend powered by the `pyodbc <https: github.com="" mkleehammer="" pyodbc="">`_ library. pyodbc is a mature, viable way to access SQL Server from Python in multiple platforms and is actively maintained. It's also used by SQLAlchemy for SQL Server connections.
This is a fork of the original `django-pyodbc <https: code.google.com="" p="" django-pyodbc=""/>`_, hosted on Google Code and last updated in 2011.
* [x] Support for Django 1.4-1.10.
* [x] Support for SQL Server 2000, 2005, 2008, and 2012 (please let us know if you have success running this backend with another version of SQL Server)
* [x] Support for Openedge 11.6
* [x] Support for `IBM's DB2 <https: en.wikipedia.org="" wiki="" ibm_db2="">`_
* [x] Native Unicode support. Every string that goes in is stored as Unicode, and every string that goes out of the database is returned as Unicode. No conversion to/from intermediate encodings takes place, so things like max_length in CharField works just like expected.
* [x] Both Windows Authentication (Integrated Security) and SQL Server Authentication.
* [x] LIMIT+OFFSET and offset w/o LIMIT emulation under SQL Server 2005.
* [x] LIMIT+OFFSET under SQL Server 2000.
* [x] Django's TextField both under SQL Server 2000 and 2005.
* [x] Passes most of the tests of the Django test suite.
* [x] Compatible with SQL Server and SQL Server Native Client from Microsoft (Windows) and FreeTDS ODBC drivers (Linux).
* [ ] Python 3 support. See [#47](https://github.com/lionheart/django-pyodbc/issues/47) for details.
1. Install django-pyodbc.
.. code:: python
pip install django-pyodbc
2. Now you can now add a database to your settings using standard ODBC parameters.
.. code:: python
'default': {
'ENGINE': "django_pyodbc",
'USER': "mssql_user",
'PASSWORD': "mssql_password",
'NAME': "database_name",
'host_is_server': True
3. That's it! You're done.*
\* *You may need to configure your machine and drivers to do an*
`ODBC <https: en.wikipedia.org="" wiki="" open_database_connectivity="">`_
*connection to your database server, if you haven't already. For Linux this
involves installing and*
`configuring Unix ODBC and FreeTDS <http: www.unixodbc.org="" doc="" freetds.html="">`_ .
*Iterate on the command line to test your*
`pyodbc <https: mkleehammer.github.io="" pyodbc=""/>`_ *connection like:*
.. code:: python
python -c 'import pyodbc; print(pyodbc.connect("DSN=foobar_mssql_data_source_name;UID=foo;PWD=bar").cursor().execute("select 1"))'
*extended instructions* `here <https: github.com="" lionheart="" django-pyodbc="" issues="" 10="">`_
The following settings control the behavior of the backend:
Standard Django settings
``NAME`` String. Database name. Required.
``HOST`` String. SQL Server instance in ``server\instance`` or ``ip,port`` format.
``PORT`` String. SQL Server port.
``USER`` String. Database user name. If not given then MS Integrated Security
will be used.
``PASSWORD`` String. Database user password.
``OPTIONS`` Dictionary. Current available keys:
* ``driver``
String. ODBC Driver to use. Default is ``"SQL Server"`` on Windows and ``"FreeTDS"`` on other platforms.
* ``dsn``
String. A named DSN can be used instead of ``HOST``.
* ``autocommit``
Boolean. Indicates if pyodbc should direct the the ODBC driver to activate the autocommit feature. Default value is ``False``.
* ``MARS_Connection``
Boolean. Only relevant when running on Windows and with SQL Server 2005 or later through MS *SQL Server Native client* driver (i.e. setting ``driver`` to ``"SQL Server Native Client 11.0"``). See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms131686.aspx Default value is ``False``.
* ``host_is_server``
Boolean. Only relevant if using the FreeTDS ODBC driver under Unix/Linux.
By default, when using the FreeTDS ODBC driver the value specified in the ``HOST`` setting is used in a ``SERVERNAME`` ODBC connection string component instead of being used in a ``SERVER`` component; this means that this value should be the name of a *dataserver* definition present in the ``freetds.conf`` FreeTDS configuration file instead of a hostname or an IP address.
But if this option is present and it's value is True, this special behavior is turned off.
See http://freetds.org/userguide/dsnless.htm for more information.
* ``extra_params``
String. Additional parameters for the ODBC connection. The format is
* ``collation``
String. Name of the collation to use when performing text field lookups against the database. For Chinese language you can set it to ``"Chinese_PRC_CI_AS"``. The default collation for the database will be used if no value is specified.
* ``encoding``
String. Encoding used to decode data from this database. Default is 'utf-8'.
* ``driver_needs_utf8``
Boolean. Some drivers (FreeTDS, and other ODBC drivers?) don't support Unicode yet, so SQL clauses' encoding is forced to utf-8 for those cases.
If this option is not present, the value is guessed according to the driver set.
* ``limit_table_list``
Boolean. This will restrict the table list query to the dbo schema.
* ``openedge``
Boolean. This will trigger support for Progress Openedge
* ``left_sql_quote`` , ``right_sql_quote``
String. Specifies the string to be inserted for left and right quoting of SQL identifiers respectively. Only set these if django-pyodbc isn't guessing the correct quoting for your system.
OpenEdge Support
For OpenEdge support make sure you supply both the deiver and the openedge extra options, all other parameters should work the same
To run the test suite:
.. code:: bash
python tests/runtests.py --settings=test_django_pyodbc

The Value In Disempowerment
by Chelsey Johnson Nov 20, 2015
I have this vivid memory from a few summers ago. I was crying, driving north on a wide mountain highway, with a teenage girl in my passenger seat. We had been bickering for a week (note: if you take an adolescent away from all of their friends, the internet, and cell reception, you may want to plan something to occupy them). Finally I cracked. My tears splashed down heated cheeks as I tried to keep the road from blurring. I sniffed and she was stunned soft.
"Why are you crying?"
"You both hate me."
Her father and I had been breaking up as long as we'd been together - 5 years or so at that point. This was a particularly painful one. I painted myself a martyr, selflessly bringing his daughter to commune with nature while he callously dated other women.
"Why are you even with him?" she asked.
I used to think that I could be something for someone else at my own expense. I was helping. Trying to be "good" for this makeshift family, a lonely little girl and her hard-knock father, saving them both from the hand they had been dealt. I wanted to bring warmth and light where things had been dark and cold.
But what was I doing? What was she seeing, feeling? It occurred to me then, I wasn't helping at all. I was teaching her about value, and not in the way I wanted.
For a long time, I knew intellectually that I needed to value myself. So I did things to become valuable. I was creative and resourceful, I was nurturing and idealistic. I produced and served. I added value to the world. Then, I would fall sick, or depressed. Or even worse, I would need help, and I'd have to work harder to make it up later.
This cycle went on and on. In that moment though, when she asked me why, I realized that what I was doing wasn't making me valuable - it was hurting us all.
I wanted to teach her to value herself. And here I was, showing her that a woman's value needed to be made. Trying to earn love through suffering, a disempowered toxic mimic of family. A twenty-something's version of "stay together for the kids."
I could hear inside, her woman was furious with me. 'Get up. GET UP. Get your shit together and stop using me as a reason not to.' Her communication was so clear. 'You are not doing this for me.'
I knew then, that I didn't actually value myself very much. I also knew that was the most important thing I could do for all my relationships - take back the responsibility for my value; unburden them with the task of giving me worth.
I didn't feel it then, I don't always feel it now. But, a few years later, I can confidently say that my value is innate. It isn't something I have to do anything to earn. In fact, I usually need to get out of the way for it to truly shine its brightest.
OM has taught me to stop efforting and be what I am. To offer only my surrender, and have that be something incredible. To feel deeply enough into myself that I know who I am regardless of the external landscape around me. To know I have everything I need, and that everyone else does too.
I don't know where she is now. I haven't checked up on her, in the years since our lives diverged. But I know she doesn't need me to make her feel valuable.
She has herself, and she is more than enough.

For me, the art of Collage is akin to transcribing the dream state, Another Way of Dreaming, and each picture contains myriad interpretations. I love what I call "Image Echoes", and I try to include as many as possible in every piece I make. Many of my collages are drawn from my studies and struggles on a path of my own She-Steppenwolf making, my path and my work cultivated from as many varying sources as possible. Consider these collages as examples of my "homework", perhaps?

Ive always admired Ewan McGregor. I think hes an underrated actor who has always been consistent in shining in his movies. In his latest flick, The Impossible, McGregor is fantastic as Henry, the father of the family devastated by the Tsunami of December 26, 2004. This is their true story.
In this interview, we talked about:
*** What did he think of the script initially?
*** Playing a parent for the first time
*** Working with the child actors
*** His chemistry with Naomi Watts
*** My favorite scene of his in The Impossible
*** Working with Juan Antonio Bayona
*** What does he want the audience to take away from the film

Relative newcomer Tom Holland is a marvel in the new film The Impossible. Hes a stage veteran by now, having starred in Billy Elliot in Londons West End, but this is first full-feature film and he has to share screen time with Naomi Watts whos playing his mom. Holland stars as Lucas, the eldest son of Maria (Watts) and Henry (Ewan McGregor). When the Tsunami hit the coast where their family is vacationing, its now up to them to find each other before time runs out.
Based on a true story from one of the survivors, Maria Belon, The Impossible is directed by Juan Antonio Bayona. You will cry a lot!
In this interview, Holland and I talked about:
*** What was his initial reaction to the script?
*** Working with Naomi Watts
*** Acting on-stage versus on-film
*** Filming the violent underwater scenes
