A new gallery of Dr. Seuss characters could take their place alongside the Grinch, the Cat in the Hat, and the Lorax. Seven rarely-seen Dr. Seuss stories were published yesterday in "The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories," written and illustrated by the beloved rhyming kids' author who died in 1991.
The book includes stories titled "Gustav the Goldfish," "The Great Henry McBride," and "The Bear, the Rabbit, and the Zinniga-Zanniga" as well as the titular "Bippolo Seed." The stories were originally published in magazines between 1948 and 1959 but had since dropped out of sight. They were rediscovered by a dentist, Charles Cohen, who was a Seuss fan and collector of Seuss memorabilia.
Cohen discovered the first lost tale in an old magazine he found on eBay. When he began listing magazines with Seuss content on eBay, Random House art director Cathy Goldsmith – who had worked on some of Seuss's books – spotted them, according to an article in The Atlantic magazine.
The paper copy of the book was released yesterday simultaneously with a omBook, or electronic Oceanhouse Media book that can be read on an Android or Apple device. The omBook includes the option of having voice actors read the text.
Characters in the stories include Gustav the Goldfish, a pet who grows too fast; the Great Henry McBride who dreams about his future career; and twins Tadd and Todd who try to forge their own identities.
How eager is the reading world for more such Seuss characters? Just ask a bookseller.
A bookstore buyer in La Jolla, California where Seuss lived told CBS that her bookstore had sold out their initial order of the books.
"I have doubled that order and have more books coming in today," said Warwick's book buyer Jan Iverson.

BH cosmetics 120 colour palette, so many colours so little time!!!
With 120 colours, you cannot go wrong with this! Colours for every occasion, they're high pigmented, although they don't work too well without a base to apply them on - so make sure you have a good tacky primer on your eyelids first before applying the product. With a primer, you don't need much product - use the bare minimum and you get brilliant colour - this way you can build it up as we all know it's much easier to add than take away!!

Focusing on issues of when and how Archean crust in the craton was formed, this PhD thesis book presents major research outcomes of field based metamorphic, geochemical and geochronological investigations on Meso-Neoarchean basement rocks from Shandong Province in the Eastern Block of the North China Craton. Based on major findings and new data, the author proposes that the formation and evolution of Archean crust was governed by mantle plumes, not by plate tectonics. As one of the oldest cratonic blocks in the world containing rocks as old as 3.85 billion years, the formation and evolution of North China Craton is still controversial. Therefore Ages, Geochemistry and Metamorphism of Neoarchean Basement in Shandong Province will be of value to anyone interested in the evolution of cratonic blocks and Precambrian geology.

Hi All,
As briefed to you at the previous SW lesson, you will embark on learning to prepare your own exercise program and monitoring and tracking your progress.
Here are some resources that you need to prepare your training programme:
NAPFA standards
Secrets to Passing IPPT / NAPFA
Training for IPPT (still related to NAPFA)
Keep in mind:
i) that each student must design his / her exercise plan and submit it online via the SW blog.
ii) look beyond NAPFA. Rather: the objective could be CCA-related.
You are designing a 4-week exercise plan.
Make use of the F.I.T.T. Formula (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type).
You may use 'Appendix A' from 'Secrets to Passing IPPT / NAPFA' link to record your progress.
You will be required to record the progress of your station via a shared Google spreadsheet.
Training programs will be vetted (through your online submission) by Mr. Hiap prior to beginning your exercise plan.
During SW lessons, you will be given opportunity to train based on the exercise program that you have planned (up to half of the SW lesson).
Date Due: Mon, 31 March 2014
Post up your exercise plan as: <Name>, <NAPFA Station>
House SW Reps: You will be helping me ensure students in your House submit their exercise program.
Do ask me if you have any questions.
Thank you.
Mr. Hiap

Easy public access to facts, statistics and the personal experiences that take place from pasture to plate is the aim of a new beef checkoff-funded Web site -- www.BeefFromPastureToPlate.org. The Web site covers the entire production chain and features producer profiles, a live "Ask a Producer" page, a timeline of cattle in North America, fact sheets, recipes, safety tips and beef trivia.
A unique aspect of the site is the virtual view -- through short audio clips and photographs -- that gives visitors a glimpse into the everyday life of U.S. beef producers. Cow-calf producers, a dairy producer, feedlot operator and a livestock marketer share personal stories about their business sectors.
Emma Brown, a fifth-generation Colorado cattle producer profiled on the site, says the site is a public outreach to help the beef industry talk to and with its customers.
"I want consumers to know our story. I want them to know producers care about them as much as they care about themselves and we don't want anything to jeopardize the relationship between us," she said.

Great Expectations Chapter 4: Joe and I Go to Church...
Pip returns home from the marshes, happy that the police are not waiting to arrest him for robbing his sister's pantry. It's Christmas morning, and Mrs. Joe stays home to prepare the house for guests while Joe and Pip head off to church. Joe looks like a scarecrow in his holiday clothes, and Pip, who gets the worst of everything because Mrs. Joe refuses to indulge him, doesn't look any better. They make it through church, although Pip is still plagued with guilt due to his robbing the pantry. After,they return home for dinner. The guests include Mr. Wopsle, a bald man who is extremely fond of his own deep voice; Uncle Pumblechook, a middle-aged dullard who is Joe's uncle; old Mr. Hubble and his much younger wife, Mrs. Hubble.
Mrs. Joe puts on a show of good temperament for her guests, and Pip is miserable the whole time, annoyed that he gets prodded with condescending questions and advice. He can barely contain himself when Mr. Wopsle launches into a silly sermon on why Pip should be glad he wasn't born a pig, a bunch of nonsense seemingly designed to make Pip feel guilty about being such a burden on his sister. Mrs. Joe joins in, and as Pip says,
"I was always treated as if I had insisted on being born in opposition to the dictates of reason, religion, and morality, and against the arguments of my best friends." Chapter 4, pg. 25
Only Mr. Joe seems to feel sympathy for Pip, though he's too meek to articulate it and can only offer Pip extra gravy on his supper as consolation.
Uncle Pumblechook is ready for his after-dinner constitutional, a bit of brandy. Pip nearly falls out of his seat in fear, for he's stolen much of the brandy for the shackled man and replaced what was missing with water, a fact he's sure Pumblechook will notice. Unfortunately, it's worse than Pip imagined, for he's mistakenly filled the brandy bottle with tar water instead of drinking water. Of course Uncle Pumblechook tastes the difference, but despite his spitting and wheezing, Mrs. Joe lets it pass for now. When it's announced that there'll be pork pie for desert, an item that Pip has also stolen for the shackled man, the fear is too much for him, and he makes a break for the door, where, right on cue, a party of soldiers with muskets is standing. One holds out a set of handcuffs, and it looks like Pip is about to be arrested.

Contractors for the new €5m primary health care centre in Ballyshannon should be in place before the end of the year, the HSE has confirmed.
The Donegal Democrat revealed a fortnight ago that the long-planned conversion of the former Mercy Convent had been given the green light to go to construction.
This week, the HSE confirmed that the project is proceeding apace.
The HSE's area Manager for Donegal John Hayes confirmed that the project was advertised for tender in July and the appointment of a contractor is currently being finalised.
An HSE spokesperson said: "It is intended to have all documentation relating to contracts finalised and a contractor appointed in 2013."

Great product, even better customer service
I ordered a custom board for my husband for Christmas. The board I received is exactly what I was hoping for but the customer service is what really prompts me to leave a good review. From beginning to end, this company was wonderful to work with. I was able to view proofs of my product and was free to make many edits. I also received it very quickly. I would definitely order from them again!

I really enjoy long-range planning. One of my favourite parts planning is calculating the number of hours each unit should have, then deciding on major assessment types, and finding really awesome projects. Long-range planning is so mystical and so hopeful. I'm not one to say that I stray from my long-range plans, per se, but some of the most wonderful ideas I have tend to slowly disappear when I discover just how much I need to accomplish in the allotted 13 hours for a specific unit. It sure doesn't leave too much time for an in-depth inquiry project, complete with student-experts, student-generated media, and learning centres. While I'm certain it could be done (and I'm more than certain it has been done), it seems almost too daunting to take such a time risk at this point in my career. For example, investing two weeks into an inquiry project that should cover the majority of a unit would be FANTASTIC. However, if it flops I'm going to be two whole weeks behind, which stresses me out!
I'm slowly working myself up to more involved, student-centred lessons that stretch on for more than an hour or two in order for students to really dig into the curriculum with their own shovels. Currently, I'm about four hours into some inquiry for Ancient Rome in Social Studies 9, and it's going well, but only time will tell. My assessments at this point are looking awfully hopeful though.
I am also teaching Modified Science 9. This class has taught me a lot (with more enlightened blog posts to follow, but I'll stay on topic here), but in particular, I've learned to "smell the roses." I feel significantly less time pressure with this class because we don't have to explore the topics as deeply as regular programming. This lets me figure out what truly interests the students and use that topic as a launch pad for many lessons to come. This serves many purposes, including helping the students find a point of reference for the majority of each unit. They are significantly more interested because they are learning about things that interest them (while secretly covering the same curriculum from a different view).
A few days ago, I was stopped in my tracks with astonishment about quickly we were whipping through the current unit. I took the unit I taught last year in the regular programming and altered it to be at the appropriate level, which meant removing a few topics and supplementing them with similar topics that would be lower level and easier to work through. I started adding in the course work from my regular course in the last few days, and to my surprise they are absolutely crushing it. While my assessments and assignments differ a bit, the concepts are the same and I'm instructing with the same level of difficulty that I did last year.
This shocked me for two reasons: firstly, I was amazed at how well they are connecting their learning (something that I hadn't seen earlier in the semester), and secondly, I was impressed with the fact that I stopped to smell the roses AND covered all the course work with no problems.
This is making me revisit my other courses to see what roses we've ran past in a race against the clock. It continues to affirm that student-ownership is hugely important in their retention and their willingness to learn. These "roses" are invaluable and could even potentially save time for more wonderful roses, even though it seems like they are only taking more precious time.

If you are not being able to sleep, you are part of a growing population worldwide that have insomnia issues. In the last decade many surveys have clearly highlighted the difficulty, for number of people, in getting appropriate sleeping time or finding ways to fall asleep.
Most men and women could find relief with natural sleep aids but are reluctant to adopt that solution as they fear potential side effects, or simply do not believe in natural products. However, the lack of sleep has also serious consequences such as poor performance at work, reduced driving abilities, deterioration of a couple's intimate life, mood swings, depression periods and several health issues.
A sleep "debt" builds up as insomnia problems increase and one experiences successive sleepless nights, compounding the effect over time. Eventually, the body becomes so much short of quality sleep time that it starts to malfunction, creating physical as well psychological disorders. While we may put up with temporary sleep shortage our body cannot get used to less sleep in the long run. Sleep deprivation causes a deterioration of our mental and physical functions which will have a negative impact on all activities of our life. At the end, we will need to get assistance to treat insomnia.
A medium to long-term sleep deprived schedule means nothing positive. As an example, tests performed on people suffering from prolonged insomnia, consisting of driving simulations or movements requiring reasonable coordination result in poorer performance than when performed on drunk people! In addition, sleep deprivation will enhance the effect of alcohol to a point where a body can become intoxicated.
The deadliest effect of insomnia is by far driver fatigue. According to the National Sleep Foundation if you experience, while driving, repeated yawning and poor attention to the road and road signs, you are most definitely too tired to drive.
All insomnia related problems have one solution but it is much easier said than done. Quality natural sleep aids are available on the market and they can help you get quality sleep and allow you to wake up fresh and full of energy. There are companies offering free product trials, allowing you to test the effect of their natural ingredients on your body. Don't hesitate to try different products as their effectiveness can vary significantly.
If you are not able to sleep and need an effective treatment, you must remember that natural remedies have little side effects, if any, on the body and are proven effective in curing sleep deprivation.

Abortion providers in Texas want a federal judge to stop a new law that they say will leave just eight facilities statewide where women can legally terminate a pregnancy after Sept. 1.
U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel is to decide whether Texas can implement one of the most disputed provisions of a sweeping anti-abortion law that the Republican-controlled Legislature passed in 2013. The weeklong trial began Monday in Austin.
The law requires all abortion clinics to meet the same standards as ambulatory surgical centers. A coalition of abortion providers say 18 abortion clinics in Texas will close at the end of the month if the law takes effect.
Most affected would be women along the Texas-Mexico border, where the closest U.S. abortion provider would be a four-hour drive.

Chloë Stevens Sevigny (pronounced /ˈkloʊ.iː ˈsɛvəni/; born November 18, 1974) is an American film actress, fashion designer and former model. Sevigny became known for her broad fashion career in the mid-1990s, both for modeling and for her work at New York's Sassy magazine, which labeled her the new "it girl" at the time, garnering her attention within New York's fashion scene.
Sevigny made her film debut with a leading role in the controversial Larry Clark film Kids (1995), which led to an Independent Spirit Award nomination for her performance. A long line of roles in generally well received independent and often avant-garde films throughout the decade established Sevigny's reputation as an indie film queen. It was not until 1999 that Sevigny gained serious critical and commercial recognition for her first mainstream role in Boys Don't Cry, for which she received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for Best Supporting Actress.

Holy hell, how's this for some New Years news; Bright Side of News has just reported that Palm will be revealing the third iteration of the Palm Pre next week at CES 2010. Palm has already sent out press invites for a conference on Thursday, January 7, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. It's not entirely clear exactly what this conference is about, but the most obvious answer is the Pre 3.
BSN* claims that the Pre 3 will launch on Verizon's network. We've heard rumors of a Verizon Pre for a while now. In fact, earlier this week we heard that the Pre and Pixi (aka Pre 1 and Pre 2) would be coming to Verizon. A new, updated version of the Pre is very much due. I can see Big Red selling the Pre 1 for $99, giving the Pixi away for free with a contract, and charging $199 for the Pre 3. That would give Verizon an impressive phone platform to compete with the new iPhone and the Nexus One.
CES 2010 will start on the 7th of January 2010 and lasts until the 10th. Of course CES news is already pouring in. Stay up to date by reading our CES 2010 section.

Celebrity Bainisteoir and top Irish model, Pippa O'Connor, drew criticism in the county after her outbursts on the first episode of the popular RTÉ series which was screened on Sunday night last.
The Kildare-born model, who last year married TV presenter Brian Ormonde, also a Celebrity Bainisteoir, expressed her outrage when she was assigned Naomh Brid in Ballintra as her designated club.
Ms. O'Connor said that it was just too far away saying, "I'm going home - I'm not going to Donegal. You are joking me," adding that anytime she had been there it had rained.
The statements annoyed tourism interests here. They felt that statements like this could be damaging to the tourism image of the county.
Many local people in South Donegal also expressed disappointment, saying that they had gone out of their way to make Pippa welcome in Donegal and felt that her remarks were "far from appropriate".
In an interview with the Donegal Democrat, Ms. O'Connor stated that her first impression was very much one of disappointment, but that since arriving at Trummon, she has had a total change of heart.
"This interview was filmed months ago in a wet and windy Dublin when we were all tired. Since coming to Donegal I have been shown nothing but the great traditional Donegal hospitality.
"It is the best thing that ever happened me and I simply can't get enough of this county. I am even dragging Brian up at weekends - hopefully it might put him off his game."

text: I really like my Eris but the volume level is really bothering me. I can plug my IPod touch (with volume about 90%) into my car using the headphone jack and setting my car volume to a little less than half way is plenty loud. Playing the same audio tracks through the headphone jack of my Eris plugged in the exact same way with the volume cranked all the way up and I have to literally turn the stereo volume to the max to get the same level. It's a pretty big annoyance. Has anyone found a way to amplify the volume farther?

I've helped many authors with their books. That help takes all forms. Sometimes I start with an author who simply has an idea. Sometimes the author has a half-finished manuscript. Sometimes the author has a finished text that needs polishing. Always the work is deeply collaborative.
My authors have been published by Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins, the University of Texas, PoliPoint, Vantage Press, Rare Bird and others.
I work on all kinds of books, but this is my focus: business, entrepreneurship, personal finance, current affairs, memoir and biography.
In addition to the work I describe on this website, I am Head of Manuscript Quality at Scribe Media, a fast-growing company that helps first-time authors get their nonfiction books out of their heads and into the world. In this capacity I work with scores of authors each year, shaping their books and coaching a team of a dozen book developers. Since we opened the company in 2014 we have undertaken nearly 1,000 book projects, and I've been involved in many of them.
I've written three published nonfiction books (here, here and here), and three unpublished novels (everybody's got at least one of those kicking around in a shoebox, don't they?). I know what it's like to live and breathe a subject for months or years. And I know how very much you want your book to succeed.
I've made my career as an author and editor in books, magazines and newspapers. My books were published by HarperCollins (that one won a prize), Sierra Club Books, The Mountaineers Press and Longstreet Press.
For seven years I was the executive editor at Orion magazine, where a story I edited was a finalist for a National Magazine Award for Best Essay. Other pieces I edited were included in Best American Science and Nature Writing (read them here and here). During my tenure Orion won the Utne General Excellence Award.

Panel allows reduction of safe zone around Gir
AHMEDABAD: The expert committee has approved the shrinking of the Eco Sensitive Zone around the Gir sanctuary. The committee rejected the Gujarat government's proposal to eliminate the ESZ boundary altogether, and increased the boundary to 0.5 km.
While sending the proposal, the government cited the proceedings of a meeting convened in February which was attended by politicians and local leaders. The government said that comments received from various stakeholders and the public were discussed in the meeting. The government said that most of the reservations expressed during consultations pertained to permissions sought from the monitoring committee even for basic requirements of villages — such as the construction of houses, schools, colleges, hospitals, wells, and roads in the ESZ area.
Government officials justified their proposal by saying that a proper mechanism was in place for the development or establishment of hotels, resorts, and farmhouses. In the proposal, the government stated that the riverbed, which is frequented by lions, could be placed under the ESZ up to a distance of 9.4km or up to the point at which lion movement has been observed.
However, sources said that the committee was not informed that the ESZ, which was to extend to 500 metres from the banks of the river, had been reduced to only the riverbed. The sources pointed out that illegal miners seem to have got a free hand in digging near the Gir sanctuary, the Asiatic lions' last abode. Currently, 523 lions are distributed across 22,000 sq km.
The response to an RTI query revealed that between April 2016 and February 2017, the geology and mining department had lodged 22 FIRs for illegal mining in the vicinity of the sanctuary. "The estimated value of illegal mining in these 22 cases was pegged at Rs 11.29 crore," said an official.

Almost a week after the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government's crackdown on illegal slaughterhouses, the state's meat traders may call off the ongoing strike after their 'positive meeting' with the Chief Minister.
The hope came after CM Adityanath assured to meat sellers and exporters on Thursday that his government will protect interests of all genuine operators.
"The Chief Minister intently listened to the problems and difficulties described by the delegation members. He said this government belongs to all and no discrimination or injustice would be meted out to anyone on the basis of caste, sect and religion," a government spokesperson was quoted by The Indian Express as saying.
The strike, however, will continue at least till April 1 when the state abattoirs' association members will hold a meeting to decide over how to get their licenses renewed.
Meanwhile, meat shops and slaughterhouses which are licensed or which have failed to get their licenses renewed because of the previous government's policies can open their shops from April 1.
Yesterday, the traders hinted at a positive decision, saying that an announcement will be made after internal meetings.
Our meeting with UP CM was very succesful.He assured us that licensed slaughterhouses will not be troubled:Sirajuddin Qureshi,Meat Exporter pic.twitter.com/dag3GYhKZu— ANI UP (@ANINewsUP) March 30, 2017
Sirajuddin Qureshi the president of the All India Jamiatul Quresh – an association of the state's abattoirs and meat sellers told Hindustan Times on Thursday that it has appealed to its members to consider withdrawing the strike.
"I guess things would start normalising within a couple of days," Qureshi was quoted by Hindustan Times as saying.
State Health Minister Siddharth Nath Singh, who was present during the talks, said Adityanath assured the delegation that stern action would be taken if any officer acted against a legal and licensed slaughterhouse.

He said a firm assurance was given by the chief minister to the delegation that no adverse action will be taken by "overenthusiastic" officials while raiding the illegal abattoirs.
"A way to move forward has been found and the intention of the government and the delegation is the same that no illegal action is carried out in Uttar Pradesh," Singh said, claiming that both the sides were "happy" over the outcome of the meeting.
Singh said the government has to pay attention to the constitutionality of any of its actions and the chief minister has assured the meat-sellers that nothing was being done in a prejudiced manner and there was no directive to any official to act on caste or religious lines.
The chief minister has made it clear that stern action will be taken against those flouting the rules and this will not be tolerated from now on, he added.
"We are happy that the delegation has hailed the chief minister and his views," Singh said.
The effects of the statewide strike have not been felt much in view of 'Navaratra', during which Hindus in north India generally abstain from consuming non-vegetarian food.
Shops selling fish, eggs and chicken were open in the state capital but there were not many buyers.
Representatives of the agitating meat-sellers and exporters had earlier met Singh on Tuesday in order to arrive at a reconciliation.
The office-bearers of their association had submitted a memorandum to the state government, seeking a meeting with the chief minister over their demands, which include allowing the slaughterhouses to operate as their closure was affecting their livelihood.
On the other hand, the Yogi Adityanath government's crackdown on illegal slaughterhouses has found an unusual supporter in All India Meat Association, which has hailed the Chief Minister for following his "raj dharma".
"Meat traders were subjected to injustice by the BSP and SP governments, the new chief minister is following his raj dharma, and it is wrong to comment on the one who is pursuing his raj dharma (the duty of the rulers).
"He is trying to bring the system back on track and needs to be thanked," representative of All India Meat Association and All India Meat and Livestock Exporters' Association Haji Shakeel Qureshi said after meeting CM Adityanath.

An Italian oil tanker's senior engineer who deliberately concealed that the tanker had discharged oily waste into the sea has been sentenced in New Jersey to prison time.
Sicily resident Girolamo Curatolo was sentenced Monday in Newark to eight months in prison after pleading guilty in federal court in August. He was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine.
Continue Reading Below
The discharges came from a vessel owned by an Italian shipping company called D'Amica Shipping Italia S.p.A. The vessel visited ports in New Jersey, Maryland and Florida.
Curatolo admitted the crew bypassed pollution prevention equipment and discharged oily waste through the tanker's sewage system. He admitted he falsified an oil record log and instructed lower-level crew members to lie to the U.S. Coast Guard during inspections.
Engineer Danilo Maimone pleaded guilty and will be sentenced in January.

The successful application of an alternative male contraceptive in rhesus macaque monkeys at the California National Primate Research Center is paving the way for human clinical trials.
For over a century, men who did not want to father a child had only one permament option for contraception. But according to the results of a study conducted at the California National Primate Research Center (CNPRC), there could be an alternative to a vasectomy that is as efficient and has the potential to be easily and successfully reversible.
The procedure involves the use of Vasalgel – a polymer-based hydrogrel that is injected into the vas deferens, which is the tube the sperm swim through on their journey to impregnation. The gel sits in the tube and essentially blocks the vas deferens, acting as a mechanical barrier to the passage of sperm. The study conducted by Professor Catherine Vandevoort and veterinarians Angela Colaglross-Schouten and Marie-Josée Lemoy resulted in the successful application of Vasalgel among a group of male monkeys, preventing them from having offspring throughout mating season.
Human clinical trials for a similar product, named RIUSG (Reversible Inhibition of Sperm Under Guidance) that lines the vas deferens but does not obstruct it, are being performed in male population in India, Lemoy said. The surgical procedure to expose the vas deferens is the same as a standard vasectomy, but instead of ligating and sectioning the vas deferens, Vasalgel is injected into the vas deferens. The advantage of this technique is that unlike a conventional vasectomy, it is potentially reversible.
Treated Monkeys Mated But No Pregnancies
The study at the UC Davis CNPRC involved 16 monkeys, each sexually mature, and lasted about a year. They were injected with Vasalgel and paired with female monkeys for several months, in some cases over a year. Although the monkeys mated the polymer successfully prevented pregancies.
The researchers did not attempt to reverse the procedure in the monkeys. Based on studies in rabbits, the injected polymer can be dissolved by using a solution of sodium bicarbonate, Lemoy said.
"The goal of our study was to find out if the procedure is safe, feasible and to find out if it prevents pregnancy," Lemoy said. "After that they have to prove that it's reversible."
The results of the study were published in a white paper on Feb. 7. With proof of efficacy now published in monkeys and rabbits, preparations are being made for the first clinical trial in humans later this year. The Parsemus Foundation, a non-profit organization that developed Vasalgel, aims for contraception to be available world-wide, with a tiered international pricing structure to assure affordability to all men.
The first subsequent study to the CNPRC study will explore effectiveness; later studies will attempt reversal (flushing the gel to restore sperm flow), which has been demonstrated in rabbits but not yet in larger animals.

The decision to list part of London's historic Smithfield Meat Market has reignited a bitter feud over controversial plans to redevelop the site.
Last Thursday (3 March), culture secretary Tessa Jowell announced that the Red House, believed to be one of the oldest surviving purpose-built cold stores in the country, should be given a Grade-II listing.
Jowell has also written to deputy prime minister John Prescott advising him to call in KPF's redevelopment proposals - though she refused to list two neighbouring buildings on the site.
The move has shocked developer Thornfield Properties, which had earmarked the Victorian cold store for demolition to make way for a massive commercial office scheme.
'The decision has come as a surprise because the buildings have already been considered for listing five times, ' said Mike Capocci, managing director for Thornfield Properties, 'the last time was only a year ago.' However, Capocci has vowed to press on with the proposals:
'While it is disappointing to have had to wait all this time, nevertheless we feel the scheme is good for the area and we will be progressing. We will be looking at all avenues.
'The one derelict building that has been listed only forms a small part of our proposals and we are considering our options in relation to this.
'We may have to adapt our scheme but we are pleased to be able to move forward with this regeneration project, ' he added.
Despite these claims, the culture secretary's decision has been welcomed by heritage groups and will cheer the Prince of Wales, who openly backed the campaign to list all three buildings, including the triangular lavatory block.
Adam Wilkinson of SAVE Britain's Heritage said: 'This is an important victory in our campaign to prevent the demolition of the building and Sir Horace Jones' 1882 General Market buildings.
'It is vital that the application to demolish the Red House and the General Market buildings at Smithfield is called in by Prescott for proper scrutiny at a public inquiry. All of the threatened buildings sit in a conservation area designated to protect them, and the current plans ride roughshod over this, ' he added.

St. Louis Blues vs. Toronto Maple LeafsNHL.com @NHLdotcom
GAME: St. Louis Blues (15-6-2-1) at Toronto Maple Leafs (15-6-5-2).TIME: Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. EST.
With an eight-game winning streak, the Toronto Maple Leafs have moved to the top of the Northeast Division. They'll look to keep rolling when they face the St. Louis Blues in a matchup of two of the NHL's top teams.
The Leafs continued to erase the memory of a 1-2-2 start with a 5-2 victory over Detroit on Saturday. That followed a 6-0 rout of Boston, the second-place team in the Northeast, on Thursday.
Gary Roberts and Mats Sundin each had a goal and an assist against the Red Wings as the Maple Leafs knocked off another of the NHL's top clubs to extend their run.
Toronto's win streak includes two victories over Vancouver and one against Ottawa, two of the best teams in the NHL. Detroit entered the game tied for the Western Conference lead with the Canucks.
"We've played quality opponents. I'm excited with how we're playing," Sundin said. "We want to be a top team in this league. I think we have the players to be a top team."
Toronto ended Detroit's five-game unbeaten streak in a game that had just two penalties.
"This is a good team. We can play with the good teams and we really believe that now," coach Pat Quinn said.
The Leafs haven't lost at home since Nov. 1, a 7-1 rout at the hands of the Philadelphia Flyers. Since that defeat, Toronto is 11-2-3-1.
Roberts returned to the lineup Saturday after missing two games with a strained hip muscle.
Toronto's victory over Detroit helped St. Louis, which is battling the Wings for first place in the Central Division. The Blues have also been off since Saturday, when they beat Nashville 4-1 to push their unbeaten streak to three games (2-0-1).
Mark Rycroft had two goals as the Blues snapped the Predators' six-game winning streak.
"We really don't look at the standings much now," Blues forward Dallas Drake said. "You look more at the standings at the end of the year when you're fighting for a playoff spot."
The Blues' Chris Osgood had to make only 15 saves against Nashville as St. Louis put together another strong defensive effort. The Blues' 53 goals allowed are the fewest in the Western Conference.
In its last 10 games, St. Louis has killed 34 of 36 power-play chances.
Blues defenseman Barret Jackman will be out three to five weeks with a shoulder strain. Jackman hurt his shoulder in the win over Boston.
Tuesday's game will be the only regular season meeting between St. Louis and Toronto.

Non-Processed Food Talk and Nonsense with Jason! (from CA)
These are clips Jason and I took while I was in CA that I just haven't had the opportunity to edit until now. There is a lot of silliness and randomness in this video, but also the last 4-5 minutes are just of us talking about non-processed eating, healthy foods, and Jenny Craig. I think it was a really good conversation, though we didn't nearly cover a much as we could have. OH and Jason's camera makes everyone sound like they have a lisp ;_; I guarantee you neither of us do. Jason is tbossbone on YouTube :D http://www.youtube.com/user/tbossbone

Ever heard of snow candy?
If you are a Little House devotee, you probably know just what I'm talking about. My youngest daughter started reading the series this year and she came across the recipe for snow candy early on. She has been begging me to try it for weeks, and fortunately (sigh) Mother Nature has once again provided a bounty of fresh snow for us to work with.
The recipe, from the Little House website, calls for one cup of molasses, one cup of brown sugar, and a bowl of fresh clean snow. Fortunately, I had all of these ingredients on hand before we got snowed in.
Boil the molasses and sugar until it looks like this:
Then pour it onto your snow. Be super careful here as the mixture is hot and reacts quickly to the snow.
One note here. I should have followed the directions and spread the snow into a shallow pan. This would have made for thinner pieces of candy. There were no complaints from my galley of taste testers, but I think it would be easier on the teeth if the candy were thinner.
For the last step, break the candy into small pieces and set it out to dry.

Anyone remember Terris or know what happened to them? They were on the NME front cover, released an EP, billed as "the next big thing" and then...? Gone.
I heard
that they collapsed under the weight of their own genius.
They released a not very good album, got dropped and then split I think. I remember seeing them with Coldplay in 2000 at the Colchester Arts Centre. Fun!
Drugs didn't help
*alledgedly disclaimer*
I honestly thought this said Tetris!
I honestly thought this said Tetris!
Thats how much I thought it was Tetris.
their disasterous Reading 2001 set didn't either
I remember about 30 minutes of technical fuck ups, two okayish songs, the singer dancing and gurning like a loon then the bass synthist smashed his stuff and they beat a hasty retreat, a lot of people felt very bad for them but the general consensus was they'd blown it that day :(
they played at reading
one year. all their stuff broke and they walked off stage and pretty much split up. at least that's what my friends who liked them say.
i think they demo'd stuff for a second lp.
i saw them in leicester with coldplay. they were pretty bad. they had a song that sounded like the bluetones.
they weren't as bad
as many people say if you can forget the fact that he had an awful voice.
In fact, some of the songs of the album are really good.
After beeing dropped, they decided to have a second album free on the net then realized it was for the better to disappear...
Still can't believe
their career was destroyed by that famous tour with Coldplay...
I quite liked the two EPs they did. The album was just a let down after all that hype
I hated it at first listen
but I progressively discovered it needed a few listens...
The demos
were great. Then they got a producer who didn't understand them to produce their album. It was shit. The end.
I really liked
Terris and think their album was a mixture of absolutely class tunes and ok-ish filler. 'Fabricated Lunacy' and 'Vegetable Days' remain two of my favourite songs.
Their Reading '01 slot was indeed truly woeful. I was saddened to watch it unfurl infront of my eyes.
They were one NME-hyped band that truly had potential and were a bit different. but alas, it would appear they just couldn't hack the limelight.
I too saw
that Reading show. I think everybody there knew it was their last chance and knew they'd blown it after that. It was a shame as they were ace live on their day and the album is ok, without the hype I think they might have gone on to be very good.
McLusky who knew them (and didn't like them) pretty much confirmed that there was an awful lot of drugs involved. Obviously that sort of thing doesn't help.
I thought that album was a classic lost album...
....didnt the musicians in Terris form another band with a different singer some point after
i saw them on the tour with coldplay too
and they seemed quite good. It was billed as the two next big things in music, and i remember coming away thinking that they'd be bigger than coldplay...shows what i know!
My flatmate at the time bought the album and it was alright but nowt special, then heard nowt from them afterwards.
They were dreadful supporting Coldplay on that rotating tour.
Reading was almost hilarious. Truly shocking.
I didn't mind the album though...some good songs on there.
Worst guitarist ever though..
I couldn't quite understand what the guitarist is trying to do in some of the songs.
I think his creativity was severely lacking.
It was purely the croaky, lonesome drone of Gavin Goodwin that made them stand out from the rest.
I would really be interested to know if he is doing anything else musically.

Hello my crafty friends!
Hope you all have a wonderful week!
Today I decided to create a sympathy card, cause it's one of them that you never know when you'll need them and I don't tend to create them often.
For this card I used the Altenew – Bamboo Rose stamp set, which is absolutely amazing and really very fun to use as it is very versatile. The sentiments are from the Avery Elle -With Sympathy stamp set which is great for the occasion, has plenty of sentiments and is very good value for money 🙂 Hope you like it!
Quick Instructions:
To create my card, I stamped the roses in Versamark ink and used Clear embossing powder, then I heat embossed them. I painted the flowers and leaves using waterdowned Kuretake watercolors. I randomly shadow-stamped the music patterned on the background to create some interest and made some splatters with black watercolor.Then I used my Sizzix Big Shot Machine (one of my favorite tools) to diecut a circle and my trimmer and scissors to make a fish-tailed panel for my sentiments. Then I used Distress inks to ink the edges of my panels. In the end I stamped the sentiments and adhered everything together.
- Kraft Cardstock paper – white
- Vintage Chic Creations Patterned Paper
- Archival Ink Jet Black
- Kuretake Gansai Tambi: No 57, No50, No 21, N20
- Distress mini ink pad: Peacock feathers
- Mini ink blending tool
- Altenew : Bamboo Rose stamp set
- Avery Elle -With Sympathy stamp set
- BoBunny: It's Written stamp set
- Circle nested dies (unbranded)
- Sizzix Big Shot Machine
