When the United States committed decades ago to uranium fuel and pressurized-water reactors for its nuclear program, other viable technologies were set aside. One, the liquid thorium fuel reactor with molten salt coolant, is re-emerging as potentially the safest, most cost-effective solution to future energy needs in the carbon-containment era. Thorium is abundant, produces far less toxic fission products than uranium and may soon compete with coal for cost per kilowatt-hour. The chemistry of thorium fission is compelling, and the engineering of thorium reactors, with a longer history than most people realize, appears to be seductively manageable.

As part of .NET Framework 4.0 and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) 4.0, ADO.NET Entity Framework integration is provided using WCF Data Services. The WCF Data Services exposes entity data (provided by ADO.NET EF) as a data service.
WCF Data Services enables the creation and consumption of OData services for the web. Note that WCF Data Service was formerly known as ADO.NET Data Services.
To design a WCF Data Service, we need to do the following:
Design the Data Model using ADO.NET EF:
Create a Data Service:
Configure Access Rules for the Data Service:
In this article demonstration, I have used Sql Server 2008 and the Database is 'Company' with the following table:
Step 1: Open VS2010 and create a Blank solution, name it as 'WCF_DataService_And_Silverlight_4'
Step 2: In this solution, add a new WCF Service application and call it 'WCF_DataService'. Delete IService1.cs and Service1.svc from the project, as we are going to make a use of the WCF Data Service Template.
Step 3: Right-click the project and add a new ADO.NET Entity Data Model, name it as 'CompanyEDMX'. Follow the wizard, select 'Company' as database and select Department table. The EDMX file should get added in the project as shown below:
Step 4: Right-click on the project, name it as 'WCF_DataService_Company.svc' and add the new WCF Data Service in the project. Make the following changes in it:
Step 5: Build the project and make sure that it is error free.
Step 6: Right-Click on WCF_DataService_Company.svc and view in browser, you should see the following:
The Url will be 'http://localhost:<some Port>/WCF_DataService_Company.svc/'
Step 7: Now change the Url to the one shown below:
'http://localhost:<some port>/WCF_DataService_Company.svc/Departments'
you will find all rows from Department table in the form of an Xml document as below:
If for some reason, you do not see xml and instead you are getting a Feed, then make the following changes from Internet Options (in IE):
Step 7: In the same solution, add a new Silverlight application and name it as 'SL4_Client_WCF_Data-Service'. Make sure that you will host it in the same WCF Service project created above by keeping the defaults shown in the following window:
This will add 'SL4_Client_WCF_Data-ServiceTestPage.aspx' and 'SL4_Client_WCF_Data-ServiceTestPage.html' in the 'WCF_DataService' project.
Step 8: In the Silverlight project, add the WCF service reference and name the service namespace as MyRef.
Step 9: Open MainPage.xaml and drag drop a button and DataGrid element in it:
Step 10: In the MainPage.Xaml.cs use the following namespaces:
Step 11: In the MainPage class level, declare the following objects:
In .NET 4.0, the DataServiceCollection<T> class is introduced in WCF Data Services to support databinding with the controls in a client application. This class is especially used in WPF and Silverlight.
Step 12: In the UserControl_Loaded event, write the following code for creating an instance of the objectContext proxy for the WCF data service using the Service uri and an instance of DataServiceCollection:
Step 13: In the 'Get Data' button click event, make an async call to the WCF Data Service by firing the query as shown below:
The query is executed asynchronously and the result is generated which is further assigned to the ItemsSource property of the DataGrid.
Step 14: Run the application and click on Get Data button. The following output will be displayed:
Conclusion: WCF data Services provides integration with Data Model built using ADO.NET EF. Since the data received is in the form of XML, any client application built on Open standards can easily consume it.
The entire source code of this article can be download over here
Note: Here the aspx/html text page is in the same WCF service project, the WCF Service is currently hosted on the local port and not on IIS.

But despite all that, we're beginning to see — if not quite a golden age — at least a flowering of the ombudsmanship movement. In this post–Jayson Blair era, when news outlets are recognizing the greater need for transparency, the ranks of ombudsmen are expanding both nationally and globally. The big psychological breakthrough came when the Times, which had fiercely resisted the concept for years, finally agreed to hire Okrent for the job, in the wake of the Blair fiasco in 2003. Recently, such television outlets as CBS and PBS have either hired ombudsmen or begun employing more ombudsman-ly practices.
Equally important, ombudsmen are generating more attention within their own industry. Recently, the new Times public editor Byron Calame and the Washington Post ombudsman Deborah Howell have been the focal point of significant controversies or criticism — a phenomenon that is actually a healthy sign in a business that thrives on feuds and furor.
And in one more positive development, Jim Romenesko — proprietor of the most obsessively read Web site in the media universe — began posting Monday roundups of ombudsmen columns a few years ago, giving them considerably greater visibility.
In an e-mail to the Phoenix, Romenesko acknowledged that "I'm interested in what readers are complaining about (or praising), and the various ethical issues addressed by ombuds."
But he added: "After years of reading these columns, I say to myself: 'Thank God I don't have that job! Hundreds of people calling to gripe about Mark Trail being cancelled? I couldn't deal with it!'"
Slowly swelling ranks According to material posted on the ONO Web site courtesy of former ombudsman Arthur Nauman, the US ombudsman movement really gathered steam with the growth of the "anti-press mood" in the 1960s. Noted journalist Ben Bagdikian wrote a 1967 piece in Esquire suggesting that ombudsmen might help papers better communicate with their readers, and Times staffer A.H. Raskin authored a piece in his paper calling for a "Department of Internal Criticism."
That same year, the Louisville Courier-Journal became the first paper in the country to have an ombudsman, and shortly thereafter the Washington Post employed the first ombudsman empowered to comment on how the publication was doing. In 1981, the Post's Bill Green penned the most-famous ombudsman column in history with his 14,000 word postmortem on the notorious Janet Cooke Pulitzer Prize–winning story about an (invented) eight-year-old heroin addict. The Boston Globe's Tom Winship was also one of the early editors to name an ombudsman, former editorial-page editor Charlie Whipple, who was selected for the job in the '70s.
In a nearly decade-old ONO survey, most of the ombudsmen who responded said they write columns evaluating their paper's performance, and a large majority also said they spoke to community groups. A much smaller number, about 25 percent, said they had actually hosted reader forums or sat in on the daily news meetings at their publications. (Gina Lubrano, who has spent 14 years doing the job at the San Diego Union-Tribune, estimates that in that period of time, the ranks of US ombudsmen in ONO have increased from about 33 to about 40, and the number of foreign ombudsmen has grown to about 23. But she doesn't see a windfall. "There's a lot of turmoil going on," says Lubrano. "Like everything else, it's a matter of money.")

Jane Roberts was an American author, psychic and trance medium or spirit medium who "channelled" a personality named Seth. The publication of the Seth texts established her as one of the pre-eminent figures in the world of paranormal phenomena. In addition to metaphysical texts, she was an author of short stories, novels, children's literature, and various philosophical texts.
Roberts was born in Saratoga Springs, New York, where she attended Skidmore College.

(21 quotes found)
"You get what you concentrate upon... there is no other main rule."
Jane Roberts
"When you dream of others, they know it. When they dream of you you know it."
"The easiest time to cure an illness is before it is accepted as a part of the self-image."
"Suffering is not good for the soul, unless it teaches you to stop suffering"
"When you affirm your own rightness in the universe, then you co-operate with others easily and automatically as part of your own nature. You, being yourself, helps others be themselves. Because you recognize your own uniqueness you will not need to dominate others, nor cringe before them"
"Therefore, as always, make of this voice what you choose to make of it. Make of me what you choose to make of me, but recognize within yourselves the vitality of your being. And look to no man or no idea or no woman or no dogma, but the vitality of your own being, and trust it. And that which offends your soul, turn away from, but trust yourself."
"Thou shall not violate."
"You create your own reality."
"Dreaming or awake, we perceive only events that have meaning to us."
"Beneath words and logic are emotional connections that largely direct how we use our words and logic."

In the past months, you may have noticed a new face or two working behind the Information/Customer Service Desks at the Barbara Bush Library. Today, I'd like to introduce to your our new Assistant Branch Manager - Adult Services, Cathy! Cathy was nice enough to answer a few questions about herself so that we could all get to know her a bit better.
What is your position? What are some of your duties?
Have you met all the staff here at Barbara Bush Library? If not, check out our monthly "Meet the Staff" post! Hopefully, you'll get to know us a little bit better.
Let's start things off with Clara!
1. What is your position? I am the manager at the library.
2. What are some of your duties? I get to help out everywhere. I work with the Friends of the Library, and our community partners. I work at the various customer service desks. I help customers that are having problems. I order equipment and repairs, and I supervise all the employees.
Happy Holidays from your Children's Services Staff: Cheryl, Christie, Cate, Ann, Paige, Lynn and Bubbles! Join us for our weekly story times and programs through Wednesday, December 23rd! The library will be closed 12/24 – 12/27 and will reopen Monday, December 28th at 8:00 am!
As Branch Librarian, I would like to thank all of our patrons for using our library services. This goes for the loyal customers, new customers and hopefully customers looking for a library to enjoy. This past year the library has seen alot of changes and if you know my staff and I, you will experience more in the future.
We have added 8 new computers for public use. This means our booking station is not being used as often; as we usually have one computer open when you walk in the door. We are, however, having trouble with Internet Explorer so we are encouraging everyone to use the Chrome button. Need advice? help? Ask us.
The staff at Baldwin Boettcher and myself wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and time with your family. Whether you are traveling or staying home, be safe. We look forward to seeing you on Dec 2nd. We will resume normal hours starting then.
On December 20th, Baldwin Boettcher Library will introduce our new Children's Librarian to our Lapsit and Preschool Storytime participants. If you have the time, please stop in and give a warm welcome to our new staff member and say "Hello". More information will be forthcoming and even a picture once she has started at our branch.
It's been a while since Hurricane Ike closed the old Evelyn Meador Library, and now that the new building is open we have some fresh faces to introduce to the community. Next time you stop by, say hello to the Evelyn Meador staff!

Do you guys remember the snow we had at the beginning of the month? The Aldine Branch staff sure does. In fact, we made a video highlighting how we spent our breaks on that day.
You can check it out on our YouTube Channel as well, along with other videos.
To celebrate the holiday, some of the staff members at the Aldine Branch wish to share what he/she is thankful for this year.
HCPL staff members joined other Harris County departments and formed three teams to take part in this year's American Heart Association Heart Walk 2009. Together, the Library Goddesses, the Power Walkers, and the Great Hearts raised $1,800 for cardiovascular research, treatment and education. They also had a great time walking together for a good cause. Way to go, Teams!

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported a powerful 6.7-magnitude earthquake in the Philippines on February 6, 2012 at 03:49 UTC (February 5 at 9:49 p.m. CST), centered on the central Philippine island of Negros. The earthquake took place 356 miles (573 km) south-southeast of Manila. No tsunami warning is in effect.
The powerful earthquake killed at least 15 people, and many are still missing, according to the BBC. However, local reports are now putting the death toll higher (as high as 40, and above). Government offices and schools were ordered to close today, according to Reuters.
There have been a series of at least five strong aftershocks (magnitudes 4.8, 5.6, 6.0, 5.8, 5.2) according to USGS.
Here are the specifics of the 6.7-magnitude earthquake:
Region: NEGROS- CEBU REG, PHILIPPINES
Geographic coordinates: 9.964N, 123.245E
Magnitude: 6.8 Mw
Depth: 46 km
Universal Time (UTC): 6 Feb 2012 03:49:16
Time near the Epicenter: 6 Feb 2012 11:49:16
Local standard time in your area: 6 Feb 2012 03:49:16
Location with respect to nearby cities:
70 km (44 miles) N (355 degrees) of Dumaguete, Negros, Philippines
79 km (49 miles) WNW (298 degrees) of Tagbilaran, Bohol, Philippines
80 km (50 miles) SSE (158 degrees) of Bacolod, Negros, Philippines
573 km (356 miles) SSE (154 degrees) of MANILA, Philippines
Bottom line: A 6.7 magnitude earthquake rocked the Philippines on February 6, 2012 killing at least 15 people, including two children.

Many countries celebrate this holiday but on different dates. Since 1600's Mothering Sunday has been celebrated in England on the 4th Sunday of Lenten Season. Servants used to be encouraged to go home for the day and be with their mothers. In The United States Mother's day became an official holiday in 1915 and is celebrated on the second Sunday of May. Children usually take on the responsibility for the chores and give presents, flowers, cards and a day off to their mothers.

I was really into vintage stereos from late 90's to early 2000's. Sold 95% of all my equipment in 2002-divorce will do that- except two receivers, my Marantz 2220B and 2270. Fired up the 2220B last night and wow, I forgot how good she sounds and looks. Needed to clean a few switches but that was expected. Hard to beat the build quality and style of the old Marantz. I never needed to go past 9 O'clock on the volume with my HA-RX700 phones. Please excuse the newer garbage Sony, waiting on a 80's Japan made unit.

We are already used to the fact that credit card issuers apply stricter standards to credit card loans and new applicants have to comply with that. But today we hear stories about credit card issuers considerably reducing credit limits on existing accounts, especially after one makes a large payment towards the outstanding balance. It has been acknowledged that theres too much easy credit available and banks are concerned that cardholders have access to spending limits they are not able to repay and as a result tighten lending rules.
American Express credit cardholders can now check in their first bag free of charge on Delta flights. Read on to find out about this and other advantages offered by the airline to the members of Delta Air Lines frequent flyer program.
The economic recession affected not just financial sphere, it also affected politics, and even education. The US government hurled pretty much all effort into surmounting the crisis and restoring the economic sector. Other sectors are paid less attention at the moment. But New York State Authorities try to control all sectors and departments and react to the emerging problems on time.
The Governor of New York David A. Paterson announced the upcoming launch of a low-cost student loan program created to help 45,000 students of public and private colleges in New York State cope with tuition increases and secure credit. The final version of the program is still being discussed. But its appearance is just a matter of time.

Is having a very high limit on your credit card really that great? Lets look at it.
No secret that men and women are from two different planets. It tells on nearly everything - from food preferences to money attitudes and financial management style. Yes, this green stuff that seems to be just conventional units that you can exchange for goods and services breeds misunderstanding, disagreement and conflicts. According to statistics, money is the leading cause of divorce in the US.
Where do we get an attitude about money? And how come a man and a woman, contemporaries, treat money in different ways and have different spending habits? Do you want to know what Venus and Mars' people think about money matters and how they spend it? Read on!
When selecting a new card, you may narrow down your search to two plastic money offers. At first glance, they're both worthwhile. The only difference between them is that one has a variable APR and the other one comes with a fixed APR. The question is, which one is better?
Most customers believe that fixed rate cards are a better option due to the fact that interest rates are "fixed", i.e. they stay the same no matter how economic indexes changes. Is it really a right assumption? Let's try to clear this question up and set the difference between these two types!
As soon as you find out the score, you need to decide what your card will be used for and how many benefits you wish to get. Find the suitable category and subcategory and here is the start:
• Best credit card deals presented at our site include low rate cards, balance transfer and fee free cards. These alluring features are only for people with good or excellent credit. As one more subcategory of this section - instant decision cards. T
• Credit cards by credit present offers for excellent, good, fair, limited or no credit score. So, do not worry if your credit history is limited or no. You have a great chance to start or rebuild it. Only find the corresponding subcategory of limited or no credit cards and make your choice. And use the card wisely in order to build strong credit and get better interest rates for a car loan or mortgage in the future.
• Any rewards make shopping and traveling more pleasant. With rewards credit cards you can earn various rebates and bonuses. Frequent flyer programs offer you to earn bonus miles and get free airline ticket. Gasoline credit cards with rebates are good for gas and other purchases. Cash back cards allow you to get up to 5% of the cash back while spending. With hotel rewards cards you can earn points and redeem them for free hotel stays, car rentals, gift certificates, etc. Well, it's up to you what rewards program suits your life style the most.
• If you are an ordinary consumer, student, or business owner, there is a credit cards section by spending for you. Let's say, you are a business owner and need a helpful tool to manage the business expenditures - apply for a business credit card and control the expenses of your employees and business reasonably.
• Wish to apply to a certain bank? Look at the credit card deals by banks. Find all the alluring credit offers from the bank you are interested in. At our site we present credit offers only from the reliable and secure banks and each of them has its specific features.
American Express can satisfy needs only of those consumers whose credit score is high and offer them the tempting rewards for traveling.
All the categories and banks mentioned above are only for the residents of the U.S. But at our site we have also collected credit card deals for the UK, Canada and Belgian residents with good or excellent credit. These special offers are issued by British, Canadian and Belgian credit companies and banks.

Last week I was honoured to travel across Canada to share my Olympic stories with this great country. A story of how powerful the Olympic Values are, and how they are to be shared by everyone. It does not matter who you are, where you come from or who you love. As a #OneTeam ambassador, I am very pleased with the COC's progressive actions toward fostering a broader conversation about LGBTQ inclusion in sport. Participating in the #OneTeam PSA was very special to me. I hope that I can make a difference by sharing my story.
I am proud to be a part of the Canadian Olympic Team. We are One Team and we are united.

The median cloud cover is 45% (partly cloudy) and does not vary substantially over the course of the month.
On July 16, a representative day, the sky is clear or mostly clear 40% of the time, partly cloudy 22% of the time, and mostly cloudy or overcast 20% of the time.
The average probability that some form of precipitation will be observed in a given day is 44%, with little variation over the course of the month.
Throughout July, the most common forms of precipitation are thunderstorms, moderate rain, and light rain.
Thunderstorms are the most severe precipitation observed during 73% of those days with precipitation. They are most likely around July 31, when it is observed during 35% of all days.
Moderate rain is the most severe precipitation observed during 15% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around July 2, when it is observed during 8% of all days.
Light rain is the most severe precipitation observed during 11% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around July 1, when it is observed during 6% of all days.

Easy as ABC...
I'm so glad that y'all wanted to know because I so wanted to tell ya! I drew the letter M on a piece of poster board and cut it out.
You can use either stencil. I used the one with the cut out so I could also use the circle.
Now before you get all nervous about painting on your wall just remember.....if you mess up you can always paint over it. Madison even helped out.
After I drew my M and circle I measured around the outer perimeter to get my lines {almost} straight.
No perfect lines here but who's looking close? Did you just zoom in on that picture,hehe
For Madison's name I found a font that I liked and tweeked the M till I thought it was perfect. I then printed it out and taped it in place.
I just pressed down lightly and made a very small indention so I could go back and trace the lines.
I pretty much did the same thing with the swirls on the bottom. I drew the swirl out on the poster board and taped it up where I wanted the swirls to be...
To make the other side even I just flipped it over and repeated the same process on the other side
There you have it!
Hope this has inspired you to go forth and paint {without fear of perfection} and have fun while doing it!

I love it! Very pretty and gets me inspired to try something like that! Thanks for the tips :)
jill n. Wow. This kills me. It looks amazing! I cant believe you painted it freehand! Well, I know "in the lines"...but still!
Also, I haven't been by for awhile, so had to get caught up, but I'm sorry to hear your daughter has been going through a rough time. It's sad when kids have to deal with things like bullying. I hope things are going better.W.O.W. My first time visiting your blog and what a whopper of a first post to read! This is totally my style and I have so many places I want to do something similar that I'm going to have to slow down or I might have monograms on every wall! I've used similar techniques on a smaller scale (a toybox I have posted on my blog), but this just blows everything away! Fabulous job!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful. If you ever have access to an overhead projector you could do the same thing without cutting the paper, you just need to put the projector on a steady surface and then draw away. No stencils needed. Sometimes you can check with a library to see if you can rent a projector, or if you volunteer at a school they may let you borrow one too!

Person Tests Positive For Tuberculosis At Imperial Beach Elementary School
Monday, May 12, 2014
An unidentified person at Central Elementary School in Imperial Beach tested positive for tuberculosis and may have exposed others to the disease for more than one month, the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency reported today.
The time period for potential exposure was March 17 to April 23, according to the HHSA.
Information on the potential exposures is available by calling the school at (619) 628-5000 or the county TB Control Program at (619) 692-8621.
"Symptoms of active TB include persistent cough, fever, night sweats and unexplained weight loss," said Dr. Wilma Wooten, the county's public health officer. "Most people who are exposed to TB do not develop the disease, but when it does occur, it can be treated and cured with medication -- that's why it's important to identify those who have been exposed."
Free testing for students who may have been exposed is scheduled for tomorrow at the school, 1290 Ebony Ave.
Tuberculosis is not uncommon in the San Diego region but has been decreasing in recent years, according to the HHSA.
To date, 59 cases have been reported this year in San Diego County.
Last year, 206 cases were reported in the county, the lowest number since local TB cases peaked at 469 in 1993, according to the health agency.
There were 234 cases in 2012.

What? Thought kids could not enter school without proper shots. If a child cannot prove shots received, remove them. Children of responsible parents should not be subjected to this.
Baltushka | May 14, 2014 at 7:54 a.m. ― 2 years, 10 months ago
There is no "shot" that prevents TB. The only current preventative treatment is BCG vaccine which is not recommended for routine use in the US - you can read about it's limited efficacy and recommended use here: http://www.cdc.gov/tb/publications/factsheets/prevention/bcg.htm
Staff at public schools as well as hospitals are tested for TB exposure annually - this is different from testing for active disease (which is diagnosed with symptoms, chest X-ray and sputum testing) which is only done in those who are known to have prior exposure.
I agree that children and staff should be required to be vaccinated for preventable illnesses that *do* have effective and safe vaccines such as Measles and whooping cough before enrolling/working in public schools. However, parents are still legally allowed to opt-out of these vaccines and let their children "free-ride" on the low-risk of infection posed by their vaccinated peers.

Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Outcomes Assessor) Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | A Randomized Double Blind Control Trial of Transdermal Testosterone Supplementation vs Placebo on Follicular Development and Atresia, Oocyte and Embryo Quality Among Women With Diminished Ovarian Reserve Undergoing in Vitro Fertilization |
- Clinical and Ongoing Pregnancy [ Time Frame: 8 weeks post treatment initiation ]Clinical pregnancy is defined as the presence of a viable gestational sac visible in the uterus 4 weeks after embryo transfer. Clinical ongoing pregnancy is defined as intrauterine pregnancy with evidence of an active fetal heart at 6 weeks after embryo transfer.
- Measures of Atresia [ Time Frame: 8 weeks after intervention initiation ]
- Follicular fluid will be collected separately for the first 5 follicles aspirated that are at least 18mm diameter for each patient.
- Granulosa cell counts will be performed on each follicle fluid. Granulosa cell counts of <10,000 per follicle will be considered atretic.
- Aliquots of follicular fluid will be analyzed for Testosterone, androstenedoine and estradiol using standard immuno assay. Healthy follicles should be capable of metabolizing testosterone to estradiol and should have a higher concentration estradiol (in nmol/ml) compared to testosterone
- Oocytes number [ Time Frame: 8 weeks after initiation of intervention ]The number of oocytes retrieved at oocyte retrieval for in-vitro fertilization will be compared between the treatment group and placebo.

Carrier cream without added testosterone in the identical type of pump
Other Name: Carrier cream without added testosterone
Detailed Description:
At CHR the investigators have been using DHEA supplementation to improve ovarian response to ovulation induction for in vitro fertilization for about five years (Barad, Brill et al. 2007; Barad, Weghofer et al .2009; Gleicher, Ryan et al. 2009; Gleicher, Weghofer et al. 2010; Gleicher and Barad 2011). Our views on the effect of androgens on the follicular environment have recently been reviewed (Gleicher, Weghofer et al. 2011). A recent analysis of androgen metabolites of DHEA in our patients suggested that women who successfully respond to DHEA supplementation with increased egg production and clinical pregnancy had testosterone above the normal median values for reproductive age women. There also appears to be a cohort of women who did not respond to DHEA and who had very low serum testosterone. The investigators decided to investigate if supplementing those women with testosterone to the normal female range would improve ovarian function and possibly increase pregnancy rates.
Recruitment & Experimental Plan
- A baseline blood draw following completion of 6 weeks of DHEA supplementation will determine eligibility for the study. The baseline blood determinations are part of the standard pre cycle screening at CHR for all patients.
- After signing informed consent subjects will be randomly assigned to either active testosterone cream treatment or placebo.
- Active treatment will consist of a testosterone delivery system that will deliver transdermal testosterone cream(0.5 mg per gram of cream.) The cream and placebo cream will be compounded by Metro Drugs (New York, NY) and dispensed in calibrated pump that will deliver one gram of cream per stroke. Transdermal absorption is about 10% so 2 grams (1.0 mg) per day applied to the skin will deliver about 100 ug per day. In preliminary analysis we have determined that a 2 gram dose of this preparation will raise total testosterone to our target range of between 50 and 100 ng/dL.
- The dose of testosterone cream will be 2 grams of cream per day applied to the left inner forearm. The study medication will continue to be applied for 6 weeks.
- All patients with evidence of diminished ovarian reserve in our practice are treated with DHEA. Thus, patients in this study will be receiving DHEA + testosterone or DHEA + Placebo. Patients who achieve a level of serum testosterone in the desired range using DHEA alone will not be eligible for this study.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 38 Years to 44 Years (Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Female |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Women with 38 to 44 years old planning to undergo ovulation induction for IVF who are willing to sign an informed consent.

- AMH =< 1.05 ng/mL
- Using DHEA for treatment of DOR/POA.
- Baseline Total Testosterone less than 30 ng per deciliter (1.0 nmol per liter) or serum free testosterone concentrations of less than 3.5 pg per milliliter (12.1 pmol per liter), which are below the median values for normal premenopausal women (Endocrine Sciences, Calabasas Hills, Calif.).
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of hormone dependent neoplasm

Guest blog: photographing snow leopards in the Himalayas by Craig Jones
Kingdom | Animalia |
Phylum | Chordata |
Class | Mammalia |
Order | Rodentia |
Family | Cricetidae |
Genus | Dinaromys (1) |
The single living species of the genus Dinaromys (3), Martino's vole exhibits the typical characteristics of most small, herbivorous rodents (4). It has dense, soft fur, which may be greyish-brown or bluish-grey on the upperparts, and a paler greyish-white on the underparts. It has large ears covered with dense fur, and a long, thinly-haired tail that is greyish-brown on the upperside and white on the sides and below. The white feet bear short, sharp claws on all digits except the thumb, which has a small, flat nail (2) (3). Male and female Martino's voles are similar in size and weight (5).
As a herbivore, Martino's vole has a diet comprised primarily of grasses and herbs (1), and is known to store some of this food for the winter (3).
Martino's vole reaches sexual maturity and commences breeding at the age of two, and each breeding female has one or two litters a year (1), typically between June and August (6). Each litter comprises two or three young, which are born after a gestation period of at least one month (3). Martino's vole is known to live for up to four years (5).
Classified as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List (1).
The very specialised habitat requirements and small range of Martino's vole means that it is highly vulnerable to any threats. While its preference for isolated and inaccessible habitats means that Martino's vole is not threatened by human disturbance, competition with the European snow vole (Chronomys nivalis) may pose a threat, as it may out-compete Martino's vole for resources such as food and shelter (1). The amount of competition between the two species affects the northerly populations to a greater extent than those in the south (4), but the extent to which this is affecting the species needs to be researched more thoroughly (1). Worryingly, due to a low effective population size and very limited gene flow between the remaining populations, the long-term existence of Martino's vole might not be secure, even in populations that live in optimal habitats (7).
Martino's vole exists within several protected areas, such as the Prokletije Mountains in Serbia, which are a biodiversity hotspot for several endemic species (8). It has been recommended that a long term monitoring program should be established for this species, as well as further research to determine the extent to which it is threatened by competition with the European snow vole (1).

Raphael's return
by Staff Writer / Montr��al CanadiensMONTREAL – With one week to go in the regular season, Raphael Diaz picked a perfect time to return to the Habs lineup.
After missing the past 25 games with a concussion, Diaz stepped back into the Canadiens' lineup for the first time since Feb. 25 on Saturday night. While the Swiss blue-liner admits it will take a few more days to shake off the rust completely, the work he did in his first 19:29 of action in nearly two months was a good place to start.
"It needs time; you have to go shift-by-shift to get the movements from the games back," conceded Diaz, who played 3:12 on the power play and another 1:39 shorthanded in his return from injury. "The best thing to get into game shape is to play shifts and get into the game. You can practice really hard the whole time, but games are always different because you don't know what to expect. The best thing to do is just play."
Pacioretty pots one |
"I'm confident we'll get back to that structure we had the whole season when we were successful; we were supporting each other, we were battling hard and those are things we need to get back to," mentioned Diaz following his team's 5-1 loss to the Capitals. "We have to play way better defensively. That was our strength the whole season; we were really tight in our zone, we were talking a lot and supporting a lot and we have to find that again."
Despite outshooting the Caps by a 36-25 margin, the Canadiens were only able to solve Washington netminder Braden Holtby once all night, going 0-for-5 with the man advantage against the NHL's third-worst penalty kill. Having enjoyed his power play coming out party earlier this season with seven points in 19 games with the man advantage to start the year, Diaz will look to provide a needed spark to the team's back end down the stretch.
"Our goal is to shoot the puck more," shared Diaz. "We have to work on that and analyze that next week and do it better in the next game and build off that. Everybody here is a professional and we know what we have to do going into the playoffs."
Having allowed 25 goals in the past five games, the Canadiens have made no secret of their need to get back to basics in their own end. With a rare practice scheduled for Sunday morning, the Habs will look to return to the stingy defensive system that saw them go 26-9-5 through the first 40 games of the season.
"Defensively we have to be hard to play against," concluded Diaz. "We have to be stronger in front of the net and those are things we have to do better the next three games to be ready for the playoffs. There's time to fix that and we're going to fix it."

The Concrete Finisher's Guide, 2006, published by the Portland Cement Association (PCA), is a basic primer for concrete finishers and offers instruction and technical information to anyone involved with concrete—engineers, architects, specification writers, or homeowners. The updated guide is expanded to 73 pages from its 22-page predecessor, Cement Mason's Guide, printed in 1995. And it was "... written in plain language so the message doesn't get lost in technical jargon," says author Terry C. Collins, who revised the guide along with William C. Panarese and Bentley J. Bradley.
The Concrete Finisher's Guide has sections that define quality concrete, materials selection, water-cement ratio and its effect on strength and durability, and air-entrainment for freeze/thaw climates. It includes a helpful preconstruction checklist beginning with the necessary tools for concrete work and proceeding to subgrade preparation and drainage for exterior and interior slabs. The reinforcement section includes rebar, welded wire mesh, and a discussion on various fiber types. It reviews joint design and the kinds of joints to use for different functions.
The guide's preconstruction checklist discusses protection for interior slabs. It explains to finishers and specifiers who might be considering an overlay concrete floor installation that concrete is a porous material, and vapor transmission through the slab is possible. It talks about the need for vapor retarders such as sheet materials under concrete slabs to reduce vapor transmission that affect the success of adhesives used in flooring. This type of practical explanation makes the guide helpful on all levels.
The guide's placing and finishing sections include placing schedules for small and large installations and step-by-step instructions for coarse, medium, and fine texture finishes. There are instructions on how to build steps, including free-standing stoops, and setting false forms at perimeters to be backfilled with aggregate to allow a consistent concrete thickness. Hot and cold weather placement are discussed, too. A section on preventing surface defects covers everything from dusting and scaling to popouts, discoloration, crazing, and more.
Throughout, technical information is in both metric and inch-pound formats. The guide's technical information is based on current recommended practices. The appendix answers frequently asked questions drawn from PCA's hotline. It includes tables for easily estimating the volume of concrete and gives building tips for installing trouble-free concrete slabs. "People who make decisions that impact the finished product need to understand how the material behaves in different environmental conditions rather than relying on 'this is what I did in the last situation so it should work now,'" says Collins. Concrete is a simple material that is infinitely complex. It requires a good understanding so that workers can make informed decisions resulting in quality finished concrete. Having the Concrete Finisher's Guide in your personal collection is a step to excellence. For more information and to order, visit www.cement.org.

Interview: Catherine Martin
Designer Rugs, The Great Gatsby, and Leo in slim pants.
Last night we went to Iona, the beautiful Victorian home of Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin. We drank champagne, rubbed shoulders with arty people and admired the trophy room, which also featured a wall of portraits of The Great Gatsby cast. We were there for the launch of Catherine's collaboration for Designer Rugs — an Art Deco-inspired collection that was initially designed for the film — but really we were so awestruck by the house and its soaring ceilings that we didn't see much of the rugs. I'm seriously thinking about getting one though, and framing a picture of Leo as Gatsby, so that I can recreate my very own Iona.
Earlier in the day I sat on a couch with Catherine. Some of our conversation is featured below.
Alice Cavanagh: Let's talk about the Art Deco period. What fascinates you so much about that period?
Catherine Martin: I think why I've always been attracted to it is because it synthesises the two sides of my personality. In the Art Deco period, two styles sat side-by-side. You had the historically derivative styles of Art Deco that were sort of lionised in the 1925 exhibition, which are taking historical antecedents and seeing them through modern eyes and using these things in an entirely exuberant, decorative way. And then you have, at the same time, an incredibly intellectually-rigorous, Bauhaus-lead modernist movement — this idea of trying to reinterpret form, function, structure; trying to re-educate the eye so that nothing superfluous is used; trying to tame the visual environment to serve the modern man. And I love those two things together, 'cause I think it's a bit like, "Fuck art, let's dance".
I would say that you have perfect taste. What do you think defines someone's personal taste?
That's a very interesting discussion because one of the things that I've been known to have quoted my husband on — and I really agree with him — is that taste is the enemy of art. What I find in my life is the more I stand on my high horse and say things like, "I will never use brown," (when I was at NIDA I said, "I will never do a design that uses brown," because I was reacting to all that 60s and 70s sepia scenery) — and, of course, what do I go and do? I go and do a movie, Australia, and everything's fucking brown. There's not one thing that isn't brown, right? Or when I was at NIDA I said, "I'll always be doing Ibsen and Strindberg and intellectual things and I'm a minimalist," — you know, all the sets I did at college were all a floor and one piece of furniture on the stage.
And now it's changed so much!
I know!
Now you're like, "Bring in the props!"
I know! More shit! Bring in more shit! So, I always find that the more I pontificate about what I will do and what I won't do, the more I'm challenged in my life to kind of — it's like when Baz said, "I'm really interested in doing Moulin Rouge, blah blah blah," I remember thinking, "A can-can show? How am I going to make that work?" because I just thought that that's impossible … Maybe it's not taste, it's discernment. You have to decide what's appropriate.
So, what about The Great Gatsby, then? It's such a specific brief and obviously people have such a clear vision in their mind from the book, and then there's the film… How far did you push that? Or did you feel like you really had to stick to a certain level of 'appropriateness'?
Baz said — because the book was written and takes place in the summer of 1922, but it was actually published in '25, and it foreshadows the crash that comes in '29 — he said anything from 1920–1929 we can draw upon to tell the story. So, that was one of the rules. We're not making a documentary, we're trying to tell a story, and Baz was all about the book. Of course, it's going to be his interpretation of the book and the collective interpretation; it's not going to be everybody's cup of tea. We worked really hard to use all those things from the 20s. For instance, there are things like the men's pants and the slimness of the suits that are probably much closer to 1920 than to 1929.
They were a bit more wide-legged in 1929 weren't they? Boxier suit-shapes.
Yes, by 1929, we're talking about an Oxford bag and it was starting to get bigger. But we've chosen [the slim pants] because it's a silhouette that a modern audience kind of understands.
More flattering, as well?
And it's much more flattering. [Leans forward and whispers] They look better in them.
Leo DiCaprio in a slim pant: much better.
Exactly. Those things are to help you understand. Gatsby is an iconic character. It says he was the most optimistic person, you know … He looked at girls the way all girls wanted to be looked at. He smiled the smile that someone wanted to be smiled at [with]. So, you're obviously trying to make him have an iconic look and you want people — as many people as possible — to access those messages in the book.
Did you read a lot about the Fitzgeralds?
Oh, we looked at everything. And, for instance, we have a lot of associations in terms of commercial associations in the movie, which directly link to his life. For instance, he [Scott Fitzgerald] was a Brooks Brothers customer, so I collaborated with Brooks Brothers. And Tiffany's, Fitzgerald was also a Tiffany's customer—
What about Zelda, what brands did she wear?
That was more loosey-goosey. She wore a bit of everything.
How long were you guys working on Gatsby for? It seems so appropriate for you — for your design aesthetic, and also for Baz, who can obviously create this other universe so well.
He mentioned it years ago. He listened to a talking book on the Trans-Siberian Railway and he absolutely loved it. So it's sort of been in the back of his mind for years and years and years and years. But in terms of actually physically starting the wheels in motion, I'll have to double check, 'cause it could've been ten years and I can't remember. It's like having a baby: you forget the pain.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
CPAC Throws Pro-Pot Legalization Libertarian Off Stage (VIDEO)
Johnson's supporters are of the Team Ron Paul mold: young, libertarian and desperate for a GOP that stops caring about gay marriage and starts caring about eliminating the Fed. There are plenty of them here at CPAC, and the conservatives in attendance seem willing to accommodate them. Up to a point.
Paul will get a big slot on stage Friday, and his supporters may win him the all-important (but not really) straw poll Saturday. But Johnson's name wasn't even on the schedule before he spoke this morning, and a Johnson staffer told me that CPAC "bumped us then un-bumped us a few times."
In the end, they gave Johnson 15 minutes Friday morning, which he spent touting his many vetoes while governor (750, he said) and calling on the Republican Party to make a deal with Democrats to repeal the Medicare prescription drug plan that President Bush signed along with the health care reform bill that President Obama signed.
Johnson had just moved on to immigration when, all of a sudden, country music began to swell. The day's emcee, Pajama Media's Roger Simon, popped out from behind the curtain and stood to Johnson's right, waiting. Clearly, Johnson's CPAC moment was over.
The Johson staffer told TPM: "Yeah, they played him off."
Watch the awkwardness:

Born September 21, 1902 in the town of Mitchell, Ontario, the All-Star centre actually began his career as a goaltender, but after a game in which he let in 21 goals, was fortuitously converted to a rover by his coach. Using blazing speed as his biggest asset, all who saw Morenz play immediately realized that an offensive role was much better employment of the teenager's assets. In 1916-17, a season in which he began playing goal, Howie led Mitchell to the Western Ontario juvenile championship.
The family moved to nearby Stratford, and in 1917, Howie attempted to join the army but was thwarted by his mother, who let recruiters know that the boy who professed to be 18 years old was actually just 15. In Stratford, Howie starred with the junior Stratford Midgets and, along with linemate Frank Carson, was frequently summoned to join Stratford's senior squad.
During his rookie season, 1923-24, Morenz scored 13 goals in 24 goals, but proved invaluable when he led the Canadiens in playoff scoring as they marched to the Stanley Cup. That spring, the NHL champion Montreal Canadiens eliminated the PCHL champion Vancouver Maroons in two straight games, earning a berth in the Stanley Cup final against the WCHL champion Calgary Tigers. The best-of-three final saw Montreal need just two games to dump the Tigers, with Howie scoring the Stanley Cup-winning goal at 1:16 of the first period in a 3-0 Montreal victory. Morenz led the playoffs in scoring with 4 goals and 6 points in 4 games.
In 1932-33, Howie sustained minor injuries and saw his production drop substantially. Nevertheless, he was still selected to the Second All-Star Team. A broken ankle felled Morenz during 1933-34 and his point total dipped to just 21 points. Frustrated, Canadiens' fans saw fit to boo their hero, angering the star centre. Just prior to the 1934-35 season, he was traded to the Chicago Black Hawks along with Marty Burke and Lorne Chabot in exchange for Lionel Conacher, Roger Jenkins and Leroy Goldsworthy. Morenz never felt comfortable in Chicago, and during 1935-36, found himself benched. On January 26, 1936, he was traded to the New York Rangers for Glenn Brydson, and finished that season in New York.
Meanwhile, the Montreal Canadiens were struggling and prior to the 1935-36 campaign, new owner Ernest Savard asked Cecil Hart to manage and coach his team. Hart agreed on the condition that Morenz be brought back to the club. Hart, as well as the team's owners, expected Howie to be a morale booster for Montreal when they purchased his contract on September 1, 1936, but during that season, Howie was producing regularly on a line with old teammates Aurele Joliat and Johnny Gagnon, helping Montreal finish first in their division. "The old spirit is back," he told reporters, shaking their hands as he entered the Montreal Forum again as a member of the Canadiens.
And then...tragedy struck.
No one attending the Canadiens' game on January 28, 1937 could have anticipated that they were witnessing the final game played by Howie Morenz.
Early in the first period, Morenz raced into the Chicago zone, followed closely by Earl Siebert of the Hawks. Howie's legs slipped from under him skating full speed and he crashed into the end boards. The blade of his skate got caught in the wooden boards and Siebert, unable to stop, crashed headlong into Morenz. The momentum snapped Howie's leg in four places.
Helped off the ice, Morenz was rushed to Montreal's Hopital St-Luc. Morenz sobbed, not through pain, but because of the finality. "I'm all through," he told teammates. "This is the finish."
Doctors stabilized the leg, which was broken in four places between the knee and ankle, by inserting a pin to shore up the broken bones. He was placed in traction to assist the bones in meshing together properly. There in his hospital room, he was besieged by visitors, to the point that hospital officials had to restrict the number of people visiting him. But Howie knew that his career was over, and that prospect devastated the star athlete.
The Canadiens held his funeral in the Montreal Forum on March 10, and 50,000 fans passed by centre ice where his casket rested. At the conclusion of the service, eight teammates lifted the casket and carried it to a waiting hearse. Almost a quarter-million fans lined the streets of Montreal as Morenz's cortege took him on one final ride.
Howie's number 7 was retired on November 2, 1937. Five days later, the NHL All-Stars faced a squad of combined Canadiens and Maroons in an exhibition contest with proceeds donated to Morenz's widow and family. This contest predates the first official All-Star Game, but similar to other charity contests, certainly paved the way for the annual game.
Through 550 regular season games, Howie Morenz scored 271 goals and added 201 assists for 472 points. One of the greatest centres to ever pull on a Montreal Canadiens sweater, he was one of the first to be elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame, earning entrance in 1945. In 1950, Morenz was voted the outstanding hockey player of the first half-century by Canadian Press. In a 1998 list compiled by The Hockey News, Howie was ranked the fifteenth greatest player of all-time.
Howie's daughter Marlene married a hockey player Bernie 'Boom Boom' Geoffrion. By a twist of fate, Geoffrion's number 5 was to be retired by the Canadiens on March 11, 2006. That same day, 'Boom Boom' succumbed to cancer. To honour the link between these two Canadiens stars, as Geoffrion's banner was being raised to the rafters, Morenz's banner was lowered halfway to the ice. As soon as Geoffrion's banner reached the same level as the banner honouring Morenz, the two were raised together.

Saint Anthony the Great (251–356) was a Christian saint, also known as Saint Anthony of Egypt, Saint Anthony of the Desert, Saint Anthony the Anchorite, and honorifically as the Father of All Monks. He was a leader among the Desert Fathers, Christian monks in the Egyptian desert in the 3rd and 4th centuries A.D.

Be you wary and undo not your long service of God, but be earnest to keep your strong purpose, as though you were but now beginning. You know the demons who plot against you, you know how savage they are and how powerless; therefore, fear them not. Let Christ be as the breath you breathe; in Him put your trust. Live as dying daily, heeding yourselves and remembering the counsels you have heard from me. … So do you also be earnest always to be in union first with the Lord and then with the Saints, that after death, they also may receive you into everlasting tabernacles as known friends.

A study released by the University of Missouri on Monday says so, concluding that video games present religion in a "problematized" way.AdvertisementIn the study, doctoral student Greg Perreault looks at five modern games: Mass Effect 2, Final Fantasy XIII, Assassin's Creed, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Examining religious aspects from each — like the bloodthirsty Templar Knights of Assassin's Creed and the silent, death-fueled prayer of the assassin Thane in Mass Effect 2 — Perreault eventually concludes that there is a link between religion and violence in video games:What all of these games show, and what should have been anticipated, was the connection of religion to violence. There is a broad literature on violence in gaming. Violence is conflict and drama. And conflict and drama are key to making a good game. As narratives have become increasingly deep, religion has become a part of the stories of the protagonists and antagonists. So the fact that religion would end up being tied to religion is not unexpected. Given religion's checkered history with violence in reality, it could also be seen as reflective....The picture presented of religion the analyses shown here is a problematized one. This researcher initially went into this project thinking that organized religion would be shown in a bad light, and it often was, but more individualized 'unorganized' religion was not shown to be somehow superior. It would be safe to say that what we do see in these scenes in a problematized view of religion.While Perreault makes some fair points — religious groups seem to frequently serve as gamers' adversaries, and who hasn't played a JRPG in which you have to kill God? — this study is far too limited to make any reasonable conclusions about the nature of religion in games. You could write an entire thesis paper about the religious overtones in titles like Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor or mythology-packed action games like God of War or Dante's Inferno. It seems unfair to judge the entire medium based on a selection of five modern titles.
