News of Egyptian actress Summaya Al Khashab's decision to run for the office of the presidency in Egypt has instigated mockery on numerous internet websites and social networking sites, like Facebook and YouTube.
According to the internet website MBC.net, Summaya denied rumors that she will make a bid for the presidency, asserting that the thought never even crossed her mind.
Several internet news sources reported that Summaya is preparing for her election campaign for the presidency of Egypt, and had decided to be the first Egyptian woman to enter presidential elections. It was also said that Summaya's election campaign focused on improving living conditions and decreasing unemployment..

(1955- )
Manasie was raised in a family of artists. His father and mother, Lazaroosee and Nakyuraq Akpaliapik are both sculptors in the community of Arctic Bay. His adopted grandparents, artists Peter and Elisapee Kanangnaq Ahlooloo, and his maternal great aunt Paniluk Qamanirq began to teach him to carve when he was about ten years old. He learned to carve by watching them, and as they carved the elders entertained Manasie with Inuit legends and stories.

I thought I heard everything until I heard jerry talking about his wifes vagina today, more than i needed to know and fyi, Jerry spilled that beans that he was married at 18 to another woman and that his children do not know, imagine how shocked they will be when they see this? I think someone forgot to remind him to take his meds today.
All I have to say is I'm happy I'm not alone in this whole thing. At the start I liked Jerry; but now I can't wait to see him go. He has been rude and crude to so many of the house guests. But the real thing that put me over the edge was the whole Dan thing, when he did the exact same thing. Practice what you preach buddy.

Morrison & Foerster has a long track record defending companies in high-stakes consumer class actions and related regulatory proceedings. We represent clients defending claims by private litigants for unfair competition, false advertising, and unfair and deceptive trade practices; and investigations and regulatory enforcement actions mounted by state and federal authorities, including the Federal Trade Commission, and Attorneys General and District Attorneys.
In California (a hotbed of consumer litigation activity due to the state's expansive consumer protection laws) companies must navigate particularly treacherous terrain. We are at our best in that environment thanks to a highly experienced team that includes, among other leaders in the field, the author of the seminal treatise on the subject, who also crafted the key amendment to §17200 known as Proposition 64 (approved by California voters on Nov. 2, 2004).
Our success in representing clients against consumer class actions has earned us the recognition by Legal 500 as a "first tier" law firm in the category of "Product Liability and Mass Tort Defense: Consumer Products." Our attorneys are recognized by local and national publications, including Chambers, Legal 500, and Best Lawyers in America.
It's not surprising, then, that a wide range of clients, many of them leading consumer brands, turn to our consumer litigation team. These clients include: Amway Inc., Apple, Cadbury, Capital One, Costco Wholesale Corp., Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., Herbalife, Iovate Health Sciences Inc., LensCrafters Inc., Lucasfilm Ltd., Mattel Inc., McKesson Corp., Target Corp., UPS, USAA Casualty Insurance, Unilever, U.S. Bank, N.A., and Verizon Wireless.

It is 3028 and humanity is working on the Titan project, a groundbreaking experiment that promises to unlock our full potential. However, an energy-based alien race known as the Drej feel threatened by this project and proceed to destroy Earth in order to stop it. Professor Sam Tucker (Ron Perlman) is an important scientist with the project and as the aliens attack, he puts his five-year-old son Cale on a spacecraft that barely manages to escape. Unfortunately, Sam isn't so lucky. It's a pretty ballsy move to begin the film with the destruction of the Earth and the death of the protagonist's father. It sends a strong message that this isn't going to be some wishy-washy children's animated film. It's a spectacular sequence that basically says all bets are off in this film. Titan A.E. flashes forward 15 years later and Cale (Matt Damon) has grown up and is working as a mechanic on a salvage station in outer space. He's bit of a reckless screw-up lacking direction in his life.
During one of his lunch breaks, Cale is saved from being beaten up by two aliens by a fellow human named Korso (Bill Pullman), who offers him a chance to join a very dangerous mission. Korso worked with Cale's father on the Titan project and wants to find the spacecraft in order to unlock its secrets. The Drej arrive and Cale and Korso narrowly escape in an exciting action sequence that ends with them being shot into outer space. Cale joins Korso and his crew – his pilot Akima (Drew Barrymore), the alien first mate Preed (Nathan Lane), the gruff weapons expert Stith (Janeane Garofalo), and Gune (John Leguizamo), the ship's eccentric scientist. There are brief lulls between exciting action sequences as the Drej relentlessly pursue our heroes.
The first Star Wars film is an obvious influence on Titan A.E. with Cale as the young, brash Luke Skywalker-esque pilot, Korso as the sarcastic Han Solo-type rogue, and Akima, a tough, Princess Leia-esque heroine with Stith as the Chewbacca surrogate. In some respects, Titan A.E. also feels like a warm-up for Firefly as writers Joss Whedon and Ben Edlund were beginning to work out the archetypes of the crew of the Serenity with the motley crew in this film. Korso anticipates Jayne, Akima contains elements of Kaylee, and Cale exhibits a few characteristics of Malcolm Reynolds. Not to mention, the enigmatic and ruthless Drej predict the equally mysterious and vicious Reavers in Firefly.
Producer David Kirschner first brought what would become known as Titan A.E. to 20th Century Fox as a live-action film, "a sort of Treasure Island in outer space." It was in development for more than five years and originally known as Planet Ice. It was initially conceived as a live-action feature but Fox decided it would be more interesting and less expensive to produce as an animated film. Known for creating successful animated films like An American Tail (1986), The Land Before Time (1988), and Anastasia (1997), Don Bluth and Gary Goldman saw this project as quite a departure in terms of look, subject matter and target audience. Once they came on board in 1998, it was re-titled Titan A.E.
At the time, Fox was determined to compete with Disney in the feature animation field by spending millions of dollars on groundbreaking CGI technology and told Bluth and Goldman to make a film that featured innovative visuals and effects. The first thing the two men did was redesign the entire film. According to Goldman, the film was originally going to be 40% CG but ended up closer to 90%. He wanted to get a 3-D look while still maintaining a cartoon feel. He and Bluth were aware that their target audience – adolescent boys – were generally not into animated films and decided to adopt a darker, moodier color palette.
Glen Ballard who populated the soundtrack with contemporary bands like Lit, Jamiroquai and Luscious Jackson to complement composer Graeme Revell's electronic music score. The $55 million film was a risky venture for the animation department of Fox whose fate rested on its success or failure. However, a year before the film was finished, Fox laid off 300 out of 380 of its animation staff members leaving very few people to make the film. An early test screening in Orange County went well with several teenagers comparing Titan A.E. favorably with Star Wars. However, Bill Mechanic, head of Fox, left the studio and Fox Feature Animation was shut down. Bluth and Goldman left and Titan A.E. died a quick death at the box office.
Titan A.E. was the first Hollywood film to be digitally transmitted across the United States over the Internet and then digitally projected into cinemas. The film was pummeled by critics that, with a few exceptions, slammed it as being a Star Wars rip-off. The New York Times' Stephen Holden wrote, "Titan A.E. tries to pack so much into 90 minutes that the characters don't have enough screen time to engage our emotions. Cale and Akima in particular have all the depth of television spinoffs of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. This is not to say that Titan A.E. isn't entertaining in its breezy, mild-mannered way, only that its mythology and characters barely resonate." In his review for the Globe and Mail, Liam Lacey wrote, "Think of it as Noah's Ark, with a few plot changes inspired by the Space Invaders video game." Entertainment Weekly gave the film a "C" rating and Owen Gleiberman wrote, "The traditional cartoon elements of Titan A.E., both the story and visuals, are unutterably bland. Cale has been conceived as the sort of blond Matt Damon action figure you'd expect to get with a Happy Meal." In his review for the Washington Post, Desson Howe wrote, "This story's relatively lofty ideas about saving the human race, and its endless twists and turns, are going to soar over the heads of many young audiences—and probably bore them, too. The scenario and special effects are too lackluster for slightly older, sensation-hungry kids, presumably the target audience. And the humor is far too lame for the parents in the audience. Which makes Titan a must-see for . . . almost no one." USA Today gave the film two and a half out of four stars and Mike Clark called it, "visually impressive but woefully dumbed-down."
However, Roger Ebert gave the film three and half out of four stars and wrote, "One test for any movie is when you forget it's a movie and simply surf along on the narrative. That can happen as easily with animation as live action, and it happens here. The movie works as adventure, as the Star Wars pictures do." In his review for the Los Angeles Times, Kenneth Turan wrote, "Titan A.E.'s rudimentary narration does work up a certain amount of propulsion. But it's not the story that's the story here, it's the film's bravura visual look."

The Harvard sailing team competes in the New England Women's Championship this weekend at Brown, looking to replicate last season's top-two finish and land a spot in the national-championship regatta.
Coach O'Connor's Preview
Scroll to the bottom of the page for a video interview with Crimson head coach Mike O'Connor, who reviews Harvard's women's season so far and previews this weekend's action in Cranston, R.I.
Looking Forward
The Crimson is one of 14 schools competing in the women's regatta Saturday and Sunday on Narragansett Bay. A finish in the top half of the field would land Harvard a trip to the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association Women's National Semifinals, while finishing first or second would guarantee the team a berth in the ICSA Women's National Championship.
Both the semifinal and final rounds of the ICSA women's regatta will be hosted by the University of Wisconsin May 25-28 on Lake Mendota in Madison, Wis.
The sophomore duo of Emily Lambert and Alexandra Jumper will represent Harvard in the A division, while senior captain Liz Powers and sophomore Marie Appel will sail in the B division.
Looking Back
Harvard's young women's squad has had somewhat of an up-and-down season but has proved itself as a regional and national contender in recent weeks and enters the New England regatta with a No. 5 ranking in the latest Sailing World collegiate poll.
The Crimson has placed sixth or better in each of its last three women's regattas, including a fifth-place finish in its last visit to Brown for the Dellenbaugh Trophy regatta April 3-4. In that event, Powers and Appel placed second out of 18 schools in the B division with seven top-five finishes in 14 races.
The A-division team of Lambert and Jumper took its turn at a second-place finish two weeks later, posting three races wins and 10 total finishes in the top seven out of 16 teams.
Looking Way Back
The Crimson placed second at last season's New England women's regatta. Powers, who now skippers Harvard's B-division entry, sailed in the A division as a crew last season, helping the Crimson place third. Lambert skippered Harvard's B-division tandem to a third-place showing of its own.

Hi thank you so much for this valuable info. However I have a question for you. What if the company is registered outside of California (e.g. AZ) but employees people in California? (Not sure if this matters but the company is 100% online without a physical office). Thanks so much for your help.
Everyone who lives in the area wants a Trader Joe's, Lunardi's, or other high quality grocery store to take over the Barnes and Noble building so that they do not need to drive to Alameda or Lake Merritt for groceries. This would bring foot and shuttle traffic to the area, especially given the scarcity of full service grocery stores in downtown. Rumor is that the developers either are prohibited by contracts with the prospective "Marketplace" retailers, or simply refuse, on the basis of not wanting to alienate possible "Marketplace" retailers, to allow a grocery store there. This is a big mistake. Frankly, a grocery store would benefit the "marketplace" since it would draw additional people who desire a "one-stop" location.

I represent a co-op. we are incorporated as a cooperative (in Ohio) and are seeking the 501(3)(c) tax-exempt status. We are looking at ways to structure the "co-op" in a way that would create a memberships status that functions more like a trust beneficiary (with Crummey-like powers), whereas a "member/beneficiary" has the option of reinvesting or drawing any cash. what are the legal obstacles to this type of set-up? The set-up envisioned gives the "Co-op" a better Value-Proposition than a traditional Co-op or a pure trust. Would this set-up be better accomplished with a regular cooperative (incorporated) with a separate private contract (trust)? Please advise or let us know if we're way off! please contact me if there are any questions or need of clarifications (330) 576-5425 or email@example.com
I'm pleased that voice picking has finally really caught on. I've also seen software from Vocollect consultants over at http://go4sight.com/Practices/Vocollect.ht… that uses voice recognition and is quite a useful part of their supply chain optimization and I'm curious if the class shows students how to use such systems.
I think that it's pathetic that the developer would rather reap losses (that they surely can use for a nice write-off) rather than reduce the rents in order to get the market started. The main purpose for the market is to serve the area, and there has been a huge influx of residents into the Oakland downtown, Uptown, and Jack London Square area. The developer is falling down on their community opportunity, and waiting until their pockets can bulge. Money over true service to community. It sickens and saddens me.
This well-researched article catches what's happening in the Square well. but there is one factual error -- the name of the local organization serving residents and businesses is the Jack London District Association, not "square association".

Is not the mandate of our goverment schools to educate? By witholding the education of financal literacy to our children, basic finance {check book balancing, understanding loan operation, work ethic} proves to me that the agenda is to "teach" dependency upon goverment.

Larry Tramutola's lips are moving. Enough said.
No, the article states that Perata's tax proposal would raise sales taxes in addition to the state tax rate. Perata's tax proposal would exist whether the 1% tax increase stayed or not. From the article:
"There is a chance that state lawmakers will allow a 1 percentage point sales tax hike implemented in April 2009 to lapse next summer. The basic state rate would then return to 7.25 percent, meaning Perata's proposal would put Oakland's tax rate at 9.25 percent — lower than the current rate, but still higher than all other cities in Northern California."

The Health of Men and Women is written particularly with the needs, interests and abilities of upper-level undergraduate students in mind. It will be of particular interest to those studying the sociology of health and illness, and will also be highly relevant to courses on gender, race and ethnicity, and a range of other key sociological issues.
Table of contents

Explaining the Health of Women and Men.
Illness and Health: Sex, Gender and Morbidity.
Women, Men and Mental Health.

Sociology of Health and Illness
"This book clearly reviews similarities and differences in women and men's physical and mental health as shaped by both gender and sex-linked biology, and also varying by outcome and by age, class, race/ethnicity, sexuality and global region. Refreshingly resisting misleading simplifications, Sarah Payne encourages critical thinking about gender, biology and population health."
Nancy Krieger, Harvard School of Public Health
"In this highly topical book, Payne provides comprehensive synthesis of research evidence on the relationship between gender and health. Researchers and policy-makers have only recently begun to take an inclusive approach to gender and health. The Health of Men and Women will be an indispensable resource for the development of research and practice."
Ellen Annandale, University of Leicester
"It is difficult to imagine a more timely book on gender and health. Women's health movements, research advocacy and theory emerged more than three decades ago. The study of men's health and gender did not fully issue until the 1990s. Until now, these two areas of enquiry and health policy have developed separately, and the pursuit of gender equity in public health has been stymied by a lack of an integrative vision. Sarah Payne provides a conceptual bridge between these growing subfields with this lucidly written, well-documented and comprehensive analysis of gender differences and similarities between women's and men's around the globe."
Don Sabo, D'Youville College

12 Things To Do After You've Written A New Blog Post
The 12 Things To Do After You've Written A New Blog Post infographic from DivvyHQ is a self help guide that everyone who likes to post blogs could use. Also, it's in a comically large printable design that I recommend! Instructions are below.
In early 2011, I was asked to guest blog for the Content Marketing Institute, which actually came from a consistent blog commenting strategy that I have executed for years. With their heavy focus on "how-to" content, I whipped up a post on the "12 Things You Need to Do After Writing a New Blog Post". The checklist-style post was well received with thousands of retweets, likes and shares.
Now fast forward to March 2012. The infographic craze is in full swing, so I was perusing my content archives looking for something that I could turn into a good visual. I quickly recalled many CMI comments talking about how they had printed out the text-based checklist and had it pinned to their cube wall. BINGO! The rest is history…in the making.
Printing InstructionsClick the infographic above to open the PDF version.Save it to your computer/hard drive.Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat or any PDF Reader application.Hit Print.In the PDF print setting dialog box, look for "Tile Scale" or "Print Scale" and set the percentage to 54%. Your print preview should now be showing that the infographic will print on three 8.5 x 11 sheets. If not, adjust the scale percentage until it fits.Hit Print.Tape the pages together.Check your to-dos.Hang it on your wall.If you need help managing your blog or social media activities, you may want to try our 30-day free trial.
There's no data shown in this design, it's more of a process flow infographic. Although it would have been nice in the infographic version of Brody's process to show some of the stats behind why each of these activities is valuable to online marketing.
As a process infographic design, the content is very cool and the design matches. It's easy-to-read, icon illustrations support the content, minimal text descriptions and I love the added instructions to print it out across three pages to become a reference guide in the real world.

It is an absolute thrill to announce yet another new Latitudes session peeking behind the veil. Here at Southern, we'd like to welcome Bobby Krlic (aka The Haxan Cloak) to our delightfully fascinating series with his storming half hour of electronica soundscapes. Just coming off the back of his debut album on Aurora Borealis and recent signing to Tri-Angle Records, The Haxan Cloak has quite gracefully berried himself deep into the networks of unsettling electronic music. The name is murmured on a daily basis, his LP played meticulously again and again, and anything left to see is leaving people in a haze of wonder.
As a personal account, I shamefully only heard of The Haxan Cloak with the news of his imminent Latitudes activity, here at Southern. Soon after was a fleeting greeting, followed by the usual meandering research on the world wide web. But it was going to a live show of Bobby's, experiencing his aurally aesthetic rumble-scapes into my own ears and eyes that would make the revelatory impact. I found myself standing dead still, staring only at the retina searing strobe. Instantly immersed into some sort of subsonic crescendo, revealing a myriad of texturally rich detail, but never without leaving the space and breadth of the sound behind. I felt like I was alone: hypnotised and humbled by a tangible thrill of musical exploit. As the music faded and came to a close, I fell back into normality, speechless, in a blur of marvel at the overwhelming event.
Then, days later, I was yet again thrown back into blissful gaiety: The Haxan Cloak Latitudes session wafted through the office, soundtracking our very own 'Koyaanisqatsi'. This release, in essence was Bobby live, but think I like to think of it as 'The Haxan Cloak 2.0'.
Curiously titled 'The Men Parted The Sea To Devour The Water', the session will be available on 9th July as a limited run of 700 180g white vinyl and 500 CDs, both with Bobby's original foil-stamped artwork, and all hand numbered.
We also have a special bundle available from our web shop if you act quickly - get a t-shirt and your choice of LP or CD.
Now available for pre-order in our web shop, and if you ask me, I'd get two; one to play to death, the other to resurrect your aural pleasures after the first passes away.

tltle says it all, i decided to put the subject here because in todays world first impressions can be a deal breaker and people now seem to come to conclussions way too quickly for there own good, it seems to many people don't take the time and simply don't have the interest to ask "yah? well is it what it sounds like? what do they believe? so why is it called? well whats this about than? so if your a part of a atheistic religion (religion i mean as in way of life) group etc that for some reason or another is not understood well even in the atheist community put what it is and what it's about or if your interested in other peoples way of life and mind set please reply and add to this discussion
me personally im an Laveyan Athesist and im hoping none of you all got any wrong opinions of us due to some retard just looking to be called a satanist and if you do have a wrong oppression than i guess thats what im here for in this case

Well I was thinking that in Existentialist philosophy, creation of meaning is what its all about... as long as you remain aware that what you've created has no objective validity at all. I might choose to invent a philosophy to live by, choose to adopt some pre-packaged fantasy, or simply immerse myself in some productive endeavor.
For me I would say that the main part of becoming an atheist was that I was free to live normally without doing the Jewish rituals I was taught. The thing is, I NEVER thought, "now, what system of philosophy do I want to follow," I never thought, "which system of philosophy do I need to adopt to replace Judaism"...it didn't occur to me that "atheism" could be a system of philosophy, I didn't even know about philosophy, so my life never revolved around a so called system of philosophy, so my brain didn't even have the awareness of being infected with worshipping a system like Leveyan Satanism, it didn't even occur to me that I was rebelling, I was just freeing myself from doing the behaviors another part of my brain somehow always felt were stupid even as a kid but which I just didn't know were possible not to do. There is a difference between actively following a philosophy and just living normally and sometimes thinking back on which pieces of which philosophers you just happen to be compatible with. You just need to focus on having a life. That means finding fun hobbies and activities you like to do, subjects you are interested in, books to read, places you would want to visit, decent friends, and so on. With your Leveyan Satanism, you just waste so much time trying to define it and defend it, but it is not useful or helpful, it doesn't help you have a life. Another thing: you need to just decide what hobbies/activities/things you like, and then find people with similar interests, rather than just picking a group and then trying to do whatever you need to do in order to get them to accept you as one of them (or worse, adopting a system of philosophy tha tsomebody else invented, for yourself, and then making judgments about other people based on how much of the system they follow oe how well they follow it). Furthermore all religions make the followers feel like it is you versus all the non-believers, and we are not against you, we are equally against both new and old religions because they are, at best systems of bizarre, inherited, abusive, and/or maladaptive time-wasting obsessive-compulsive behaviors and beliefs, mental disorders, and at worse systems that brainwash psychologically volunerable people into not wanting to have a full life, as I mentioned.

The same stellar art teacher who let me be a hermit in the corner of the art classroom with a stack of old National Geographics also let me be a hermit with a book called Underground Interiors: Decorating for Alternative Life Styles. Published in 1972, it's chockfull of photos and words about fascinating people and their fascinating homes. Just look at these scans!
The colors! The furnishings! The general feeling of being on a spaceship designed by the Lucky Charms leprechaun! It just really makes you wonder about the people who live in these spaces. Like, who IS this person who felt they needed large plastic broccolis sticking up from their floor? Imagine the outstanding way the owner of that rainbow-ceilinged room must have stroked their outstanding beard when they decided they needed an outstanding rainbow ceiling! Et cetera.
I spent most of class looking at Interiors and not making any actual art, but I think it was good research and brain food and life inspiration. At the end of the year, upon his retirement, my teacher let me keep the book, and I like looking at it now to fondly remember how lazy I was as a student but how I got a pretty good idea of who I wanted to be: someone who wouldn't actually ever have the dedication to commit to such wonderful design schemes but who would definitely think of themselves as sort of interesting enough to maybe do so one day. Which makes me less Actual Interesting Person and more Jeff Goldblum at Creepy Paul Simon's house in Annie Hall, but I'm totally OK with that too.
THE POINT OF ALL THIS: colors are pretty and I like them. ♦

Algae, Pollen or Both?
Ah, spring. As the days get longer and the temperatures get warmer, trees and plants start flowering – which mean two things to pond and lake owners: algae blooms and pollen spores.
When those sneeze-triggering spores start flying and land on your lake's surface, giving it a bright green, yellow or white oil slick-like appearance, it can be hard to tell whether you're dealing with a troublesome algae bloom, a layer of pollen or a combo of them both.
A case like this calls for a little detective work, starting with a primer on algae types.
Know Your Algae
Planktonic Algae – the source of algae blooms, are floating, microscopic plants that color pond water shades of green, blue-green, brown or variations in between. In controlled amounts, this type of algae can actually be beneficial. It's considered the start of the pond food chain as the tiny plants feed fish inhabitants, and it can also shade the pond's bottom, preventing subsurface nuisance plants from growing. In uncontrolled amounts, however, planktonic algae can cause oxygen depletions and fish kill.
Filamentous Algae – single-celled plants that form long, visible chain, threads or filaments. These threads, which start growing along the bottom of the lake in shallow water or on rocks or other aquatic plants, intertwine and form mats that resemble wet wool. When these mats rise to the surface, they're commonly referred to as pond scum. These mats make great homes for micro- and macro-invertebrates, like bugs and worms, but they're also unsightly and can affect the oxygen levels and fish health in your lake.
Pollen Versus Algae
Unlike planktonic or filamentous algae, pollen simply settles on the water surface, creating an oil slick-like appearance on the lake or pond. When you run your fingers over a pollen-covered body of water, the green, yellow or white material will break apart. That doesn't happen with algae. Instead, the tiny planktonic algae remains suspended in the water, while the filamentous algae can actually be grabbed and pulled out.
Clearing Things Up
The good news is that water circulation with a decorative fountain, such as Kasco's 1/4HP Decorative Fountain, and subsurface aeration, such as an Airmax® Aeration System, will help remedy both the algae and pollen situations. The movement of the water breaks up the pollen layer and it will eventually go away. If your lake or pond has a significant algae bloom, you may need to treat the water with an algaecide, like Pond Logic® Algae Defense®.

Whoops! Forgot to have a baby in your twenties? Don't panic yet
It seems those dire warnings about the 'fertility cliff' we topple over at age 35 are based on 300-year-old data
Biological clock: since the furore over Baby Hunger, we have tried to build lives, careers and relationships, with a great big '35' flashing in neon over our heads
I had my feet up in stirrups when I heard the news that would change my life. It was two weeks before Christmas in 2005, and I was in my gynaecologist's office, about to undergo a routine procedure to treat precancerous cells on my cervix. As we chatted before the treatment, I confessed that I had been feeling sad and tired for weeks.
Earlier that year, I had been diagnosed with an unrelated hormonal condition, polycystic ovarian syndrome, which causes a host of unpleasant side-effects, one of which is reduced fertility. Since the diagnosis, I'd been reading everything I could find on the subject and I had worked myself into a state of semi-panic.
I was already 30. In five short years, I would be 35 – the age at which female fertility, or so we're always being told, falls off a cliff. If I wanted a child, or even two or three, I knew I couldn't delay.
The fact that my husband and I hadn't been actively trying for a baby for long didn't enter into my anxious calculations. Neither did my gynaecologist's reassurance that she regularly saw women exactly like me having healthy babies into their late 30s and even their 40s.
Maybe it was the fact that I had mentioned my exhaustion, but my gynaecologist decided to run a quick ultrasound before the colposcopy, just to be sure.
And there she was, the tiny, nebulous, 14.8 mm smudge on the screen that would become my daughter. All the while I had been busily obsessing about my declining fertility, I was quietly growing a baby.
Seven years and two children later, the near-panic I felt about my fertility in my early 30 looks like a ridiculous overreaction. But it wasn't unusual – nor was it very surprising.
Fertility cliff
In 2002, the year before I got married, Sylvia Ann Hewlett published her book, Baby Hunger: The New Battle for Motherhood, which advised that women should have their children while they're young or risk having none at all. It grabbed headlines around the world and opened the floodgates for a decade of media hysteria over the 'fertility cliff'. It also frightened the life out of me and all my friends. For much of time since, we have gone about trying to build lives, careers and relationships, with a great, big '35' flashing in neon over our heads.
After 35, we are told, we're six times more likely to have trouble conceiving. After 35, the chance of becoming pregnant in any given month falls to 30 per cent – or 20 per cent if the father is also 'older'. After 35, one in three will take a year to become pregnant – compared to one in 20 25-year-olds. After 35, we're more likely to suffer from pre-eclampsia, miscarriage, stillbirth or chromosomal abnormalities.
In the current issue of The Atlantic, psychology professor Jean Twenge gets to the root of this notion of a 'fertility cliff at 35' – specifically, the claim that one in three women between the ages of 35 to 39 will not be pregnant after a year of trying.
She discovered the figure is based on an article published in 2004 in the journal Human Reproduction, but that the original source is French birth records from 1670 to 1830.
That's right: the statistics behind the panic date back to a time when there was no electricity, no antibiotics and no fertility treatment.
Twenge cites a more recent and much more encouraging study published in Obstetrics & Gynecology in 2004, headed by David Dunson. It found that, with intercourse twice a week, 82 per cent of
35- to 39-year-old women conceive within a year, compared with 86 percent of 27- to 34-year-olds.
Tony Walsh, who is a gynaecologist and the chairman of SIMS Fertility Clinic, describes Twenge's findings as "interesting", and says they shouldn't be dismissed. However, based on his 20 years' experience working in the field of fertility, he believes age is an issue. "No one working in fertility could agree that age-related infertility is not a real phenomenon. The decline starts from the late 20s, and it can be steadily plotted from there," he says.
Cathy Allen, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist with the Merrion Fertility Clinic and Holles Street, says "alarm is never good when it comes to fertility. There is no one best time to have a baby. Physically, your 20s may be the best time, but psychologically you may not be ready until your 30s".
At the same time, she says, "it's important not to underestimate the effect of age on fertility – there is a definite decline in overall fecundity from the mid-30s on".
It is also worth noting that age does bring other problems: there is an increased risk of miscarriage and of having a baby with chromosomal abnormalities.
Even Twenge, who believes that the panic over the age of 35 is overstated, says it's best to have your last child by 40.
Pointless anxiety
Twenge writes: "We've rearranged our lives, worried endlessly, and forgone countless career opportunities based on a few statistics about women who resided in thatched-roof huts and never saw a light bulb."
And for many of us, that's the point. We have worried endlessly, and possibly even rearranged our lives – and in the end, five in six of us would have gone on to conceive naturally anyway.
The message seems to be that while awareness of your declining fertility is good, panic is not.
In an ideal world, looking after a child might involve being in a relationship, having somewhere secure to live, earning enough money to meet the expenses, being established in a career you'll be able to return to, should you wish.
In reality, it's tricky to have all those boxes ticked by the time you're 30, or even by 35. Many of us never manage them all.
On the other hand, as Allen says, "having a baby with the wrong person just because you're worried about whether you'll be able to have one in the future is never a good idea".
Love, ostentation and ice sculptures
As the news cycle begins to grind to a halt for the summer, you can usually rely on the world's celebrity population to provide us with a few over-the-top displays of love, ostentation and ice sculptures. That's right: celebrity wedding season is upon us.
Out of the blocks earlier this month was Napster founder Sean Parker, with a display so eye-popping that he and his new wife, singer Alexandra Lenas, have reportedly been spat at in the street by onlookers offended by its environmental impact.
The celebration had a Lord of the Rings theme, and involved the importation and construction of ruins and a castle into the middle of a redwood forest in California. The whole thing cost €7.5 million – and Parker ran up another €2 million in environmental fines afterwards.
Last weekend brought the €14 million French Riviera nuptials of Formula One heiress Tamara Ecclestone and Jay Rutland, which featured live performances by Mariah Carey and Elton John. Next up: Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, who reportedly plan to honeymoon in space.
Don't call Serena Williams boring
Serena Williams recently said her preparation for big matches involved being "the most boring person you can ever imagine". Don't panic, tabloid editors: she doesn't really mean it.
Her Wimbledon campaign kicked off this week in vintage Williams style, with a public apology over insensitive comments she made about the Steubenville rape case, and the latest phase of what one newspaper dubbed a "love-tangled, word-mangled, rolling spat" with rival Maria Sharapova.
It started over an interview in Rolling Stone magazine, in which Williams described an unnamed rival as "boring" (although, of course, she may have just meant "well-prepared") and suggested the rival's boyfriend had a "black heart". Sharapova decided the jibes were aimed at her, and hit back at a press conference with the suggestion that Williams is involved with a soon-to-be-divorced man.
It's all very unedifying, and therefore perfect fodder for the editors of red tops, who love nothing more than a public falling out between two women – except, perhaps a public falling out between two wildly successful, photogenic, athletic women. Why is it that when male sports stars engage in this kind of thing it's healthy rivalry; but when they're female, it's a catfight?

|"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really exists), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.
The London City Hall is the headquarters of the Greater London Authority which comprises the Mayor of London and London Assembly. It is located in Southwark, on the south bank of the River Thames near Tower Bridge.
By the summer of 1996, Sofie worked at the City Hall and there, one day, together with her co-workers, witnessed the Dark Mark appearing in the sky towering over the City of London, and the Millennium Bridge collapsing. This attack was led by Fenrir Greyback and a rally of Death Eaters, who were celebrating having captured and kidnapped Garrick Ollivander from his shop in Diagon Alley for their leader, Lord Voldemort.[1]

Daily Caller Still Providing Cover For Adams, Von Spakovsky
Are you a right-winger with an axe to grind and a book to sell? Having trouble getting anyone to pay attention to your expensive non-story about liberal evildoers? Then call Caroline May, intrepid reporter for Tucker Carlson's The Daily Caller! The Caller has substantial experience repeating verbatim the politically-tinged accusations made by right-wing figures, and May knows just how to conceal your conservative credentials in an effort to make your story seem credible.
In the latest example of ethical subterfuge, May has written a news story that repeats the claims by conservative bloggers J. Christian Adams and Hans von Spakovsky that the hiring practices at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) "have become politicized under Attorney General Eric Holder and the Obama Administration."
Importantly, May doesn't turn a critical eye to the research methods used by Adams and Spakovsky to come to their conclusion that "every single new hire" at DOJ's Civil Rights Division "boasted far-left resumes," she simply pushes their complaints forward. More importantly, May -- for the second time -- completely omits any mention that Adams and Spakovsky played a central role in the saga of politicization at DOJ under President Bush.
May's story is only newsworthy if the "former Department of Justice officials" (Adams and von Spakovsky) she cites are trustworthy sources whose call for investigation is objectively warranted and not based on an ulterior political motive. It's ethically imperative, then, that their significant right-wing backgrounds are disclosed so that readers can fairly assess the credibility of their work and their claims. May does not even attempt this.
Adams, for example, was hired to DOJ by Bradley Schlozman during the notorious politicized hiring period exposed by the DOJ Office of Inspector General and Office of Professional Responsibility in 2009. Before that, he was a volunteer with the National Republican Lawyers Association and a George W. Bush campaign poll watcher. Today, Adams is a right-wing blogger who spends his time attacking President Obama with pieces that, among other things, have compared Obama to the appeasers whose policies resulted in the "carnage" of World War II. This latest DOJ exposé precedes the October 2011 publication date of his new book, Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department. Every one of these facts is conveniently misplaced from May's article.
Von Spakovsky, a blogger for the conservative bastions of National Review Online and the Heritage Foundation (as well as Pajamas Media), was also in the Bush DOJ. He also served on the Federal Election Commission after being recess-appointed by Bush. Democrats refused to confirm him for over two years, partially because of a letter from his DOJ superiors which decried his political partisanship and cautioned against his advancement. Again, none of this background made it into May's story, other than to describe him as a "former Justice official and Pajamas Media investigator."
May exacerbates her Bush DOJ inaccuracies by mischaracterizing the facts of that case, describing it as a "Bush-era scandal in which the Justice Department came under fire for turning away applicants with far-left resumes." This is incorrect and dishonestly depicts the Bush administration as victims of the system for having refused to hire radicals. In fact, the OIG/OPR investigation of Bush's DOJ found that political appointees were wrongfully taking political affiliations into consideration when making hiring decisions, deliberately hiring people because of their conservatism. After President Obama's inauguration, hiring power was returned to career attorneys.
It should also be noted that the Daily Caller piece -- again, for at least the second time -- inaccurately describes the position held by DOJ official Loretta King. King is described as the "Civil Rights Division chief." In fact, she is one of several people with the position of Deputy Assistant Attorney General. Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez is the head of CRD.
Neither the Caller nor PJM provide any evidence that otherwise-qualified individuals were rejected because of their political ideology. Instead, the Caller quotes Adams' incredibly feeble hearsay:
"Work with these left wing groups served as an ideological admission ticket based on what I know [Civil Rights Division chief] Loretta King did in hiring committee meetings. Non-leftists need not apply."
May's piece ends by extensively quoting Adams and Spakovsky and bemoaning the lack of coverage that their claims have elicited. Perhaps she should ask herself if there's a reason for that.

Super League clubs could be playing for bonus points under the radical new structure for the domestic game in 2015.
Top-flight clubs currently operate a traditional system of two points for a win and one for a draw but those in the two Championship divisions receive three for a win and two for a draw, with a bonus point for losing by 12 points or fewer.
Rugby Football League chief operating officer Ralph Rimmer revealed at a media briefing in Brighouse on Thursday that one system will be introduced across all three divisions from next season and a consultation process is under way to determine the best option.
"The process will take into account the views of players, coaches, administrators, media, commercial partners and, most importantly, the fans," Rimmer said.
"Leeds Metropolitan University are undertaking a piece of research to obtain views of fans that will feed into the decision-making process which will come to a conclusion in the autumn."
Rimmer also revealed that, if a decision is made to bring in a two-referee system in 2015 following trials that are currently taking place in academy matches, it will be used in the top two divisions.
Rimmer and Super League general manager Blake Solly outlined details of the new structure which was given the green light by clubs earlier this year.
From next season the First Utility Super League and Kingstone Press Championship will keep the same names and both feature 12 clubs, while Kingstone Press Championship One will be renamed Kingstone Press League 1 and comprise 14 teams including newcomers Coventry.
At the end of the regular season, Super League and the Championship will split into the Super 8s - three groups of eight clubs based on league positions called Super League, The Qualifiers and Championship Shield - which will be played on a seven-match mini-league basis.
In Super League, the top four will contest a play-off series in which first plays fourth and second meets third, with the winners going through to the title-deciding Grand Final.
In The Qualifiers, the top three clubs will play in Super League the following season with the final place determined by a one-off Million Pound Game between the clubs finishing fourth and fifth, with the highest-placed team enjoying home advantage.
It is a marked shift from the traditional promotion and relegation system and organisers have attempted to ease the transition between the two divisions.
Solly announced that the salary cap for Championship clubs will be raised to £1million and central payments will start at £750,000 for the two clubs relegated from Super League going down on a sliding scale to £150,000.
They will also be able to sign up to five overseas players, subject to them receiving visas, compared to just one now, which brings them into line with Super League clubs.
Super League clubs will receive around £1.7million in central revenue while the officials also announced the re-introduction of the 50 per cent rule which restricts clubs from spending more than half their income on players' wages.
Rimmer also confirmed that the maximum penalty for clubs going into administration will be doubled to 12 points from next season. Bradford were docked six points earlier this year.
The new Super League season is due to start on the weekend of February 8, with the Championship campaign starting a week later, and Solly confirmed that a six-team World Club Challenge is still in the pipeline for early next year.
In the Championship Shield, the top four clubs will play off with the winners contesting the Championship Shield final, while the bottom two teams will be relegated to League 1.
The League 1 title will be determined by a one-off match between the first and second clubs, with the losers going into a four-team play-off to determine the second promotion spot.
The 14 League 1 clubs will also be joined by two amateur clubs in a new knock-out competition played at the start of the season.
The other significant change for 2015 affects the Challenge Cup, with the top eight Super League clubs receiving a bye into the round of 16, which means teams may need to win only three matches to reach Wembley.
The 14 League 1 teams will enter at the third-round stage, joining the 10 surviving amateur clubs, while 12 Championship clubs start in round four and the bottom four from Super League enter in round five.
Although talks have started with the BBC on restoring the final to its traditional spring date, it will stay on the Saturday of the August Bank Holiday next year.

The Beatles arrived at New York's JFK airport on Feb. 7, 1964, stepping out of Pan Am Flight 101 from London's Heathrow Airport and onto American soil for the first time.
The result was pure Beatlemania.
And 50 years later, the thrill of the Beatles' landing still resonates like a thunderclap in American pop culture. It was the beginning of something new, something bold, and it mesmerized a generation of young people still reeling from the recent assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
"It was a rallying moment, when we didn't know we wanted one — we didn't know we needed one," says Dennis Erokan, founder and executive editor of Bay Area-based BamMagazine.com, who was 13 when the Beatles came to America. "What it felt like was not only a breath of fresh air — but a calling. They were calling to us, that we could be part of something."
Teenagers across America felt that calling. Sure, the Fab Four had landed in New York — and would spend its entire two-week stay on the East Coast — but this was anything but a regional story. The whole country seemed to be watching John, Paul, George and Ringo as they wrote a new chapter in music history.
The fever for the Beatles was as strong in the Bay Area as anywhere else, with kids from Concord to Cupertino, from Burlingame to Brentwood, giving up on past idols and embracing new heroes from some far-off place called Liverpool.
"I thought it changed the whole sound of music," says Pinole music teacher Toni Silva, who was 10 when the Beatles landed. "All I knew as a little kid was that I liked it — and I was hoping I would hear more of that."
Silva's wish would soon be granted, as the Beatles cleared the path for other U.K. rock acts to cross the Atlantic and quickly start dominating the Billboard charts. It was the start of the British Invasion, a movement that brought such future Rock and Roll Hall of Famers as the Animals, the Dave Clark Five, the Hollies, the Kinks, the Yardbirds, the Who and, of course, the Rolling Stones to our shores.
Yet, in early '64, it wasn't about a whole invasion — it was just about one group. That was especially true on the evening of Feb. 9, when some 73 million Americans gathered in front of their televisions to watch the Beatles make their debut on "The Ed Sullivan Show."
It was a life-changing event for millions, including Erokan, who'd previously resisted the lure of the Beatles out of loyalty to his favorite band, the Beach Boys. He wasn't even going to watch the "Sullivan" performance, deciding instead to hide out in his room while the rest of his family witnessed the landmark event on TV.
"Then the first song started, and I could hear it through the walls," Erokan says. "Maybe half way through the first verse, I finally couldn't take it anymore and I ran out and sat on the floor (in front of the TV). I was destroyed. I became a total Beatles fan."
The Beatles' initial impact was magnified by its timing. The nation had just gone through one of its darkest moments — the assassination of JFK on Nov. 22, 1963 — and young people in particular were looking for something to lift their spirits.
"An important part of the puzzle is that something so horrible had just happened to us and we were still dealing with that," Erokan says. "And all of sudden here are these incredible four guys who are bringing a new sound and a new feel.
"To be given this breath of life — it was just so wonderful."
Few could have predicted at the time that they were watching an act that would someday be widely considered the greatest band in rock 'n' roll history. They didn't yet have the perspective that would come with time, as the Fab Four went on to release such all-time-classics as 1967's "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and 1969's "Abbey Road."
There would be plenty of time to look back later, and the fact that we are still doing so 50 years down the road is a testament to the Beatles' lasting legacy. That particular moment, however, was all about discovery.
"That was my first introduction to music. It changed my life," says Dublin's Marlene Kinley, who was 10 when the Beatles played "Ed Sullivan." "It was the beginning of my whole love of music. There was no going back. For me, it started with the Beatles."
Those living on the West Coast would finally get their turn some six months later, when the Fab Four kicked off their second U.S. tour with an Aug. 19 show at the Cow Palace in Daly City. The group played that same venue the following year, performing two shows on Aug. 31. Of course, the Bay Area was also home to the their final public concert — at Candlestick Park on Aug. 29, 1966.
Many of those who saw the Beatles in concert say they'll never forget the experience. It's a badge of honor, they say, which no one can ever take away.
"It's huge," says Kinley, who was in attendance at the Candlestick concert. "I wouldn't have traded that moment for anything."

I'd be fine with it. Bad calls happen. Move on to the next play. I've never been one to complain about officiating.
Well, I'm glad to hear that, because we are going to get burned by more than a few bad calls because of this rule.
