LONDON — The number, the instant it flashed up on the North Greenwich Arena scoreboard, ignited audible gasps, then a deafening wall of sound.
"My score?'' repeated Rosie MacLennan a half-hour later, an Olympic gold medal draped around her neck and a 57.3 personal best on the books. "I was shocked. It's the biggest score I've ever gotten by, I think, just under a point. I knew it would be a tough one to catch, but you never want to get ahead of yourself.''
Teammate Karen Cockburn didn't mind doing a bit of predicting, though, right then, right there.
"I mean, 57.3 is huge,'' marvelled the three-medal Olympian competing in her fourth and final Games. "As soon as I saw that score, I knew she had it. I even told her. I saw the faces [of still-to-compete Huang Shanshan and He Wenna], the pressure it put on them. I knew they'd feel the heat of that huge score. As soon as I saw it I said 'That's a gold medal.' "
Indeed, a 23-year-old pixie from Toronto, a product of the Sky Riders trampoline factory, landed Canada's first gold medal of the Games.
"I'm ecstatic,'' said MacLennan. "It hasn't quite hit me yet.''

Cementing her status as the new star of women's trampoline, four years removed from a tutorial seventh-place finish in Beijing, MacLennan laid down the performance of her life on the biggest competitive day of her life.
"I don't necessarily imagine myself standing on top of the podium. I really just focus on 'Okay, how can I do the best routine possible?' And wherever that gets me ... When I'm able to do that, that's when I'm the happiest.''
When asked the inevitable anthem-moment question, she smiled: "To be honest, it's still a bit surreal. I was just so proud and excited. I knew the beginning of my routine was strong, but you kind of get into a pattern, so to be honest I don't really remember the rest. I was just trying to focus on one trick at a time and getting it done.
"The difficulty definitely helped. I had a bit of advantage over the other competitors going in with the difficulty. But there's still the form and the height.''
The result — still in question as the afternoon's final challenger, Wenna, began her routine — was put beyond doubt when the Chinese trampolinist fell on her final landing. That cemented MacLennan at the top of the pecking order and fast-tracked Shanshan into second.
"I was a little surprised, well very surprised,'' MacLennan said of Wenna's tumble. "China's so strong and they rarely ever falter. So when that happens, it's shocking.''
"I knew Rosie had a shot at the gold,'' said coach Dave Ross. "A bit of a long shot, though. Pretty amazing, really. She did the routine we wanted her to do. She nailed it. The judges giving her credit for how good she was, then the Chinese girl who may or may not have bested Rosie, with the scores rising, falling down ... It was exciting to the last second.
"She did a routine which is near the top of her game, when it counts, under pressure. She left out her last move, she might've done 2/10ths more difficulty. But she was in 85-per-cent great shape, so she went with the easier option. A smart choice.''
MacLennan's combined qualifying score, 104.5, slid her nicely into the No. 5 spot in the final start list, right after Cockburn, and she took maximum advantage.
"The first routine I was a bit nervous. It's a bit overwhelming coming into a stadium with that much energy. As the routines progress and you get more used to the environment you get stronger and more focused. I was fourth going into the finals and that's a good place for me to be because you have nothing to lose. So you may as well just give 'er.''
She credited a through buildup in training for the Zen-like peace of mind she exhibited. Physically, she felt stronger, more confident of her jumping ability, than ever before. The seventh-place understudy at Beijing has developed in the intervening years into a polished, unflappable champion.
A whole posse of MacLennans, family and relatives, were on hand inside the North Greenwich Arena. Her parents, Jane and John, brothers Matt and Mike, sister Kate, sister-in-law Laura, assorted aunts and brothers' girlfriends.
"I haven't seen them yet,'' MacLennan said while doing interviews. "I saw my brother for a minute, he came over to take some pictures. I hope [to celebrate later]. Or at least see them for a while.''
Is there anything, now that she's Olympic champion, she'd enjoy marking the victory with? Something she's had to sacrifice, perhaps?
"Some chocolate," was her instant reply, followed by a peal of laughter.
A gold medallist's prerogative. Indulge. Enjoy.

At an early-2010 Shark Fights 14 event, the Texas-based promotion gave the ladies center stage for the night's co-main event.
The HDNet-televised event saw a fight years in the making finally come to fruition, as Tara LaRosa and Carina Damm met in the cage in a 125-pound contest.
Each week HDNet and MMAjunkie.com release a new and exclusive fight from
the ever-growing HDNet Fights video library. Stunning knockouts, slick
submissions, shocking finishes and legendary brawls are the norm for
this weekly feature.
LaRosa vs. Damm is no exception.
LaRosa (19-2 at the time) saw a 15-fight win streak come to an end with a 2010
split-decision defeat to Roxanne Modafferi. The BodogFIGHT veteran,
though, rebounded in November 2010 with a unanimous-decision victory over one-time Strikeforce title challenger Takayo Hashi. The win earned LaRosa
the DaMMAge Fight League 125-pound women's championship.
Submission specialist Damm (15-5 at the time), a fellow BodogFIGHT
vet, was looking to snap out of a two-fight skid. After posting a 10-fight
win streak, Damm suffered a submission loss to Hitomi Akano at
Strikeforce Challengers 10 and then a TKO defeat to Cat Zingano at a
December 2010 regional event in North Dakota.
Would LaRosa get the win, or would Damm break her slide?
Check out the embedded clip for the answer.

Rockin' Raspberry-Peach Lemonade
Ingredients:1/2 Lemon Three Packets of Splenda5 oz. Cold Water3/4 oz. Sugar Free Raspberry Torani Syrup3/4 oz. Sugar Free Peach Torani SyrupLots of Ice!
Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon into a glass. Stir in water and Splenda. Add a scoop of ice (or about 6 or 7 cubes). Top off with flavored syrups. Enjoy...it's practically calorie-free!
The average person attending a Memorial Day BBQ will consume at least one beer, a hot dog, a burger, chips, slaw, potato salad and dessert. Whoa! That adds up to over 1200 calories!
If your host is offering hot dogs, burgers and chicken breast, go for the chicken. Don't use this holiday as an excuse to scarf down bad-for-you meats.
Are turkey burgers and turkey or chicken franks up for grabs? Be careful! Some are lean, but others have almost as much fat and calories as the beef versions. You might want to sneak into the kitchen to read the packages...inconspicuously, of course.Is it a BYOM (Bring Your Own Meat) event? Show up with boneless chicken breast, fat free hot dogs and boca burgers. They all grill up AMAZINGLY well on the BBQ.
Those mayo-infested side dishes are what you REALLY need to look out for. Potato salad, macaroni salad and cole slaw are all major no-nos! But slaw can be saved! If you can get to a sink, rinse your cole slaw (until the water runs clear) and wash calories and fat grams down the drain. It'll taste great, but won't have all that fatty goo! Just do it!
If you're drinking beer, make it light. You'll save fat, calories and carbs!
When it comes to frozen treats, stick with non-creamy ones. Fruit bars and shave ice are better choices than ice cream cones, bars or sandwiches.
BBQ some veggies! Corn, asparagus and onions are awesome when grilled...and they'll fill you up! But skip the butter.

Global Warming Plaintiffs Hoisted on Their Own Petard
We have reached a denouement of sorts in the "blame XYZ companies for causing global warming which caused Hurricane Katrina which damaged my property" lawsuit that I've previously discussed and in which Cato filed an amicus brief. When last I blogged about this, the Fifth Circuit had apparently lost its en banc quorum — a late judicial recusal left only 8 of 16 judges available to hear the appeal — and was figuring out what to do.
Well, on Thursday the court issued an order determining that it lacked a quorum, but that the panel opinion — the one that allowed the tendentious causation claims to proceed — remained vacated. The money quote: "In sum, a court without a quorum cannot conduct judicial business.… Because neither this en banc court, nor the panel, can conduct further judicial business in this appeal, the Clerk is directed to dismiss the appeal." This means that the district court opinion dismissing the suit stands, though plaintiffs are free to seek Supreme Court review. Not surprisingly, the three judges on the panel dissented from this order (which means that the order was decided by a 5–3 vote).
The upshot of all this is that the plaintiffs ended up botching their strategy of suing companies whose shares are owned by Fifth Circuit judges. This clever legerdemain successfully removed seven judges, but that left a quorum of nine. Of course, had the late‐recusing eighth, Jennifer Elrod — who would've been expected to rule against the plaintiffs — recused when the first seven did, the court could not have vacated the panel opinion in the first place. We'll never know what happened after the court's prior decision to grant rehearing that caused Judge Elrod to recuse, but at least we're left with the second‐best result: no strong decision from an important federal appellate court, but the reinstatment of the correct decision below.

Sport offers a number of benefits for those who take part. These benefits cover a wide variety of areas including physical and mental health and a broadening of cultural and social awareness. Training is designed to prepare you physically, mentally and technically for the Game. To maintain good health and to help prevent injury and illness, players, coaches and associated medical staff should focus on maintaining a healthy body through proper training, diet, stress management and rest.
The health benefits of Rugby are many and varied, and at the most basic level, Rugby is a great way of increasing the time spent doing physical activity. Current guidelines* suggest that adults should achieve a total of at least 30 minutes a day of at least moderate intensity physical activity on five or more days of the week. For children, the recommendation is at least 60 minutes of at least moderate intensity physical activity each day. At least twice a week this should include activities to improve bone health, muscle strength and flexibility.
Rugby for young people -
a sport for all shapes and sizes
Rugby is a game that is uniquely suited for all shapes and sizes, girls and boys, all ages and abilities. It can be enjoyed in many forms, from fifteens to sevens to non-contact games and can even be played on the beach or on snow. There is a level of participation for every child to enjoy.
By applying a holistic approach, Rugby and other sports can play a prominent role in promoting a healthy lifestyle, allowing players to enjoy a lifetime of sporting participation.
* Source: UK Department of Health1. Try Rugby / Try Sport
Encouraging participation and promoting enjoyment, whatever the child's ability, is a positive way to make the first significant steps towards developing a healthy lifestyle.2. Social skills development
Participation in team sports in particular stimulates inclusion and interaction. It builds self-confidence and self-esteem, and forges the fellowships and friendships that are unique to sport and values such as integrity, solidarity and respect amongst others that are characteristic of Rugby.3. Mental skills awareness
Through participation and structured training, Rugby develops the key mental skills of self control, concentration, discipline, decision making and leadership. Such important skills transcend all aspects of daily life.4. Diet and nutrition
A balanced diet is key to sustaining the energy levels necessary to compete and train at every level of the Game. This also plays an important role in boosting energy levels for everyday life, improving concentration and performance and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

I'VE just seen the 1999 film version of Trevor Nunn's London stage revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's great musical Oklahoma, starring Hugh Jackman – who was then pretty well unknown. He makes a great Curly and to be honest I might prefer his relaxed singing in this film to his acclaimed role as Valjean in the latest adaptation of Les Miserables, though of course he is excellent in that too. Anyway, seeing the London revival of Oklahoma! reminded me that I wrote a piece about the 1955 film for the musicals countdown at the Wonders in the Dark website, so I thought I'd re-post it here, and will add a few thoughts about the Trevor Nunn version at the end, plus links to the two different versions of my favourite song from the show. (I've never actually seen the musical on stage, but would really love to do if I get the chance).
Rodgers and Hammerstein were surely second to none when it came to creating musical scores full of great standards – and Oklahoma! is one of their finest. The 1955 film's 145-minute running time is packed with unforgettable numbers like the title song, The Surrey with the Fringe on Top, People will Say We're In Love, I Cain't Say No, and, of course, the stunning opening song, Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'. The story of this Western musical romance at first seems very simple and impossibly sunny, not to mention a little old-fashioned, as two very different young girls in Oklahoma at the turn of the 20th century are each courted by two rival men. However, there are some darker themes amid all that sunshine and ripening corn, with occasional shadow-filled scenes showing the way forward to R&H's Carousel, filmed the following year, which again starred Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae.
Laurey (Shirley Jones) is obviously made for boy next door Curly (Gordon Macrae), but is also being wooed, or stalked, by older, sinister farmhand Jud Fry (Rod Steiger). Meanwhile, fickle Ado Annie (Gloria Grahame, looking completely different from her roles in film noir!) just cain't decide whether she should marry adoring cowboy Will Parker (Gene Nelson) or plump for flirtatious peddler Ali Hakim (Eddie Albert). What she doesn't realise is that the peddler is even more fickle than she is.

Zidar moved to Greenpoint 12 years ago to attend Pratt Institute for its urban planning graduate program, where she found many similarities to her hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – including Polish and Irish people and an industrial environment.
"I was going to be a scientist and I went to study field biology in the mountains," she said of her time before she moved to New York, "before I got the idea that the planet was going to be fine and it was the humans the needed a little help."
She moved to Greenpoint at a time when environmental concern was on the rise, when focus was turning from cleaning up the East River and shutting down the Greenpoint incinerator to what to do about the murky green canals that run between Queens and Brooklyn.
Now Zidar is the executive director of the Newtown Creek Alliance and co-chair of its Community Advisory Group (CAG) for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which calls for a CAG for every Superfund site.
"The common denominator between everybody in Newtown Creek Alliance is that we have this affinity for Newtown Creek, whatever it is," she said. "We all just kind of came together out of a common almost obsession, a common curiosity about this part of our neighborhood."
The Alliance was founded as an all-volunteer body 10 years ago, before the creek was designated a Superfund site and received federal oversight.
She said the CAG, which acts as an information line between the government and the community, works parallel to the Alliance.
The main focus of the CAG now is how it will stay together, and whether it can afford to keep its government-appointed consultant.
The Alliance is focused on solving problems revolving around the creek, and is currently calling on the Health Department to conduct a public health study to determine whether chronic illnesses in Greenpoint could be caused by toxins in the water.
The Newtown Creek Alliance's next monthly meeting will be on Thursday, June 28, in the Greenpoint Reformed Church at 6 p.m.

On the Job: Foot Heaters
By Nancy Pope, Historian and Curator
This is part of a series of blogs spotlighting items and stories from America's postal workers.
From the first days of the service, America's rural letter carriers have been responsible for providing their own transportation to make their daily rounds. In cold winter months, carriers turned to small metal heaters to keep warm on their route. The side drawer could be opened and packed with hot coals to keep the heater operational. When new, the heater would have been covered with carpet fabric. Those riding in wagons equipped with such heaters could rest their feet in warmth and comfort during the journey.
This foot heater is part of the museum's collections and was used by rural carrier Arthur J. Bessen, who purchased it shortly after starting his job on October 29, 1917. Bessen retired in October 1965 with forty-eight years of service.
Although there are no markings on the device to indicate its original manufacturer, it resembles similar heaters of the period, among them the Chicago Flexible Shaft company, which produced the popular Clark Heater. Those oval-shaped metal heating units were covered with green or blue carpet, which matched most carriage linings. The unit had a perforated drawer for coal. Ads boasted that properly prepared coal could burn without soot or smoke, from 12-15 hours. The H.T. Hearsey Vehicle Company of Indianapolis offered its Hearsey Heaters for a few dollars more than the Clark. Perhaps that was because of their use of the "Best Brussels Carpet" covering the device.
Lehman Brothers also sold foot heaters (not to be confused with the present day, recently bankrupted financial firm). The Lehman Heater was created in 1885. Lehman boasted in 1900 that they were selling heaters at the rate of 10,000 per year. Like the Clark Heaters, Lehman recommended that buyers use only coal provided by their company in their heaters.
To learn more about early 20th century vehicle heaters, their manufacturers, and the early 20th century advertising campaigns aimed at rural carriers check out this new addition to our website: Rural Free Delivery Marketing to a Rural Audience.

The mother of Whitney Purvis—who was featured on the first season of 16 & Pregnant—was arrested arrested over the weekend in Georgia for drug possession. April Purvis, 37, was charged with felony possession of meth and misdemeanor possession of marijuana. When asked for a comment by TMZ on her mother's arrest, 18-year-old Whitney said, "What my mom does, does not affect me."
On Whitney's episode of the MTV show, she and her mother April were both pregnant at the same time. They and their two boyfriends lived with Whitney's grandmother in her two-bedroom home. Looking for a place to store her clothes in the cramped house, the teen began emptying out a junk drawer in Meemaw's room, where she found a mug with a penis as the handle. But it turns out the mug was not Meemaw's. It was Meemaw's mother's—the teen's great-grandma. Upon the discovery of the mug, Meemaw shouted at Whitney, "What makes you think you're Paris Hilton or some damn body?"

One hundred firms make up AdvisorOne's 2012 Top Wealth Managers, as measured by assets under management per client, with data as of 12/31/11.
Here we present a profile of the crème de la crème of the Top Wealth Managers—those 10 firms that topped the list in in our 2012 survey.
View the list of all 280 firms in our 2012 Top Wealth Managers survey.
According to Michael McCoy, senior vice president at Central, the reason the RIA exists is largely due to Bernard Madoff.
The firm is actually a department of Central Bank, a commercial bank that's "been around for about 109 years," but while the group has provided investment services to its clients for approximately 15 years, it's a child of the financial meltdown. Says McCoy, "In light of Madoff, etc., we decided to register [the RIA portion with the SEC in 2009] and become a full-fledged RIA to provide a level of comfort for our customers."
As a result, Central is considerably different from the other top firms on the list. With three principals and a client list that is made up of institutional clients such as hospitals and insurance companies that have a relationship with the bank, according to McCoy, the RIA is "just add-on services that we provide to institutional clients … It's an investment service that all these clients of the bank need, and rather than them go elsewhere, we had the talent and expertise to help them with those functions. So we've been doing it at least 15 years that I know of."
'It was important that they have a legal structure'
Still, with scandals and financial losses littering the headlines in 2008, says McCoy, "we decided to formalize what we do by registering with the SEC. our customers didn't necessarily ask for that," he adds, "but we … felt like it was important that they have a legal structure they were working with."
Despite the financial turmoil of the time, he says, the group lost no clients during the period. "They're all institutional clients," he says, "and to some extent understand the ups and downs of the market—although that was kind of a hundred-year event." With the existence of the official RIA so new, after having done business for a considerable time, and with the group being so small despite managing considerable assets, a succession plan is still in the works. However, the clients don't seem to mind.
'We're a bank'
Asked how Central differentiates itself from other firms such as wirehouses and trust companies—and banks—McCoy says, "Here's how we sell ourselves. First of all, we're a bank."
"Our clients have already known us for a long time," he says. "All of our clients are here in Jefferson City. We see each other on the street, in church and at the Kiwanis Club, and we'll do what's best for them. We have to live in the same town, so we're going to do what's right."
Growth is not really an issue for Central. "We don't market ourselves," says McCoy, although "if we run into a client through a banking relationship—a parent bank of a bank holding company—it might spark a relationship that way." In fact, the RIA has grown since its formal creation, adding its third principal with a background in the brokerage business—actually coming from the brokerage arm of the bank, which employs about 30 retail brokers, says McCoy—bringing some additional institutional clients into the fold. Other growth has been organic.
Major Concerns
Asked about Central's chief worries, McCoy says that regulatory scrutiny is "getting worse."
He adds that the volatility of the markets is an issue. "Our clients are institutional in nature, but that doesn't alleviate their sensitivity to seeing the volatility of their market values," he says. "We had some difficult meetings during 2008–2009 with some clients," he concedes, "but fortunately they trusted us enough to stick with us for a while."

The convenience of having settings toggles easily accessible is a huge plus. Applications such as SBSettings (BigBoss - @BigBoss) and Homescreen Settings (Elias Limneos - @limneos) offer quick methods of turning on and off and editing different important toggles and settings (e.g. WiFi, 3G, Data, etc.). Another developer, Dan Zimmerman (@DanZimm) is bringing in another alternative to settings toggles on the SpringBoard; except the icons are animated.
Anicons offers settings toggles on the SpringBoard for quick on and off functions. It is currently in its first beta form and will be incorporating more toggles and features soon. There are currently five toggles supported:
- Enabled (location)
- Enabled (vibration)
- Unlocked (screen rotation)
- Data
(The WiFi icon is not part of Anicons directly. It was also made by Dan Zimmerman and is available on Cydia for free. It was one of his Tweak Week implementations.)
They are not just interactive in the sense that they respond to touch. They also have animated signal strength and on / off visuals. For example, the 3G Settings toggle not only allows you to turn 3G on and off but displays the signal strength of your 3G connection (moves up and down depending on strength).
As mentioned, it is currently in beta and has no planned ETA. Anicons, when available, will support all iDevices running 4.x+.
In the process of beta testing for Dan, I asked him a few questions about Anicons:
JOSH: How'd you come up with the idea for Anicons?
DAN: For my week in Tweak Week, I made the Airplane and WiFi icons that are similar to the toggles in Anicons. This gave me the idea to make an entire set of toggles.
JOSH: How long did it take for you to create Anicons (first beta)?
DAN: Not entirely sure. However just today I spent about 12 hours.
JOSH: Are you working on any other incorporations for Anicons or plan to do so soon?
DAN: Not that I can think of but I'm always open to requests and suggestions.
JOSH: What are the best methods of contacting you with requests and suggestions for Anicons?
DAN: The best way to contact me in that regard is to hit me up on Twitter: @DanZimm
Stay tuned for what is to come in regards to information and ETA for Anicons. For the time being, follow Dan Zimmerman (@DanZimm) on Twitter to stay up to date on his progress with Anicons and his other projects.

And Tara hopefully gets her head screwed on straight, and Jason continues his vampire purification process. Let's go to Dallas, on HBO at 9 PM.

Last Sunday, April 25, Jackie Crosby had an article in the Strib that really got Shareology thinking. With the opening of Louis Vuitton in Galleria looming and the redo on Mall of America's South Side in progress, does Minneapolis St. Paul have enough luxury buyers to support all the luxury retailing opportunities about to be available?
Let's take a peek at the possibilities:
The above new plans, found posted in the South Side of MOA, include Italian porcelain tile, Swarovski crystal chandeliers, and marble trimmings. A wall mural reveals current and future MOA offerings (Hugo Boss to open in August):
Turning the South Side of MOA into Luxury Buyers Nirvana is one way to update MOA, unfortunately as this work is ongoing for the next few months, the current look is more like:
Meanwhile, over at Galleria, retail nirvana includes BCBGMaxAzria and Coach:
Over on the western end of Galleria, Tiffany eagerly awaits the early May opening of its neighbor, Louis Vuitton:
Well, what do YOU think, dear Shareology reader? Does the Twin Cities have enough luxury seekers to support both these well-known malls? Shareology wants to know!

Torrington police: Pot found in car of man turning himself in for hit and run
TORRINGTON >> A man was placed in custody and issued a summons after police said they found pot inside his car — parked at police headquarters — as he turned himself for a different offense.
Matthew Butts, 24, of 44 Surrey Lane, Torrington, was issued a summons for evading responsibility, failure to grant right of way and possession of less than half an ounce of marijuana.
Sgt. Steven Rousseau said Tuesday afternoon Butts was at police headquarters to turn himself in for his involvement in an accident on East Main Street. Rousseau couldn't specify the amount of marijuana found in the vehicle shortly after Butts was issued the summons.
Police responded to the two-car accident Butts had been involved in near 1082 East Main St. at 11:05 a.m. Tuesday. A four-door black sedan was traveling up East Main Street when a tan Hyundai pulled out of Cumberland Farms.
Officer James Delay said the driver of the Hyundai, later identified as Butts, fled the scene, but not before leaving behind the vehicle's front license plate.
Delay said there were no injuries and very minor damage to the rear passenger side tire of the sedan.
Butts parked his tan sedan in the public parking area of the department's headquarters off Main Street when an officer drove by and noticed the license matched the one the car that had fled the scene of the accident. He approached the vehicle before spotting the marijuana, police said.
Butts is due in Superior Court in Bantam on July 21.

The IVF centres in India are highly maintained to provide enough space for couples along with convenient parking services and friendly approach. The warm, clean and inviting atmosphere of thesecentres with experienced doctors make themmost sought after destination for infertile couples.
Over the last two decades, there has been an exponential growth of infertility clinics in India. Experts say the prevalence of infertility has more than doubled in the last decade and has gone up to 20-25 percent. Late marriages, stress, and exposure to toxic substances in either the diet or environment and a career-centric lifestyle has led to a rise in infertility. India also brings a lot of medical tourists seeking fertility treatments. This has led to awareness and acceptance of fertility treatments such as In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
Currently, India's fertility market is witnessing enormous growth with proliferating infertility rates amongst married couples and availability of competitive treatment procedures at cost-effective fees. Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), donor sperm, egg freezing, donor embryo treatment, endoscopic diagnosis and test tube babycentres in India are all practiced with new techniques, which are being evolved and developed at par with international standards. Today, India stands at the forefront of reproductive treatments and is considered as a hub for all the ART treatments. IVF centres in India have given hope to many childless couples and unlike before, seeking medical help in such cases is no longer considered a taboo.
Today, men and women have ahectic lifestyle and they are both equally subjected to infertility. This can be due to increased work stress and a fast urban lifestyle, and delayed marriageable age. The chances of infertility in the couples are rising significantly due to the following reasons:
Many couples suffer from infertility despite having a fully satisfying sexual life for more than a year. Depending on the severity of the issue, basic fertility drugs or minor surgeries can solve the treatment but sometimes the treatment can be more complex and may need extra medical facilities and expert advice. In this case, the specialist may suggest going for fertility treatments or sometimes advanced levels treatments like In Vitro Fertilization. Some of the best IVF centres in Asia, many of which are located in India, only provide these advanced treatments. They have the latest state of the art technology, services and infrastructure that are affordable, reliable and effective. Sometimes, it may happen that a reason inexplicable to infertility can cause depression, frustration, and aggression in couples. Therefore, it is important to opt for a fertility treatment from a centre that gives you higher chances to conceive.
Some of the benefits of visiting IVF centres in India are:
You generally do not need to see an infertility doctor unless you have been trying regularly to conceive for at least one year. If all natural efforts fail, you may need to consult a doctor for the following cases:
For women
For men:
Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) is the collective term for a number of different treatments that can be performed to help achieve pregnancy. There is no single definition of ART; it is usually illustrated in contrast to sexual intercourse as the method of reproduction. It covers a wide range of different fertility treatments. Most of the IVF centres in India perform all the ART procedures and have successfully helped conceive babies to many couples. The five most successful ART procedures performed in IVF centres in India are:
IUI is one of the simplest forms of ART performed in India. In this process, the spermsare collected, prepared in the lab and then inserted into the uterus (womb) of the woman during the time of ovulation. In top IVF centres in India, the process is performed without many complications. This is the first recommended ART leading treatment in any leading infertility center in India.
IVF is probably the best-known form of ART in India. Also known as test tube baby, it involves collection of sperm from men and eggs from woman, which are then placed together in a petri dish in a laboratory. The embryologists and IVF specialists in India are highly qualified and experienced to perform these procedures with extreme care and precision. State-of-the-art equipment and technology are used in the procedure to ensure high success rate in every attempt. These conventional IVF treatments are performed by most IVF clinics in India.
ICSI is performed in most of the infertility clinics in India. The fertility procedure used to achieve normal fertilization in case of male infertility. In this procedure, an embryologist selects a single sperm, removes the tail and then injects it into the egg. However, the procedure is only recommended if it is necessary.
The age of the woman undergoing treatment, and the cause of the infertility are the two factors that influence the success rate of IVF centres in India. Younger women are more likely to have a successful pregnancy but for women over the age of 42 years, chances of a successful pregnancy are low. The percentage of IVF treatments in India with the likeliness to result in a live birth is:

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Ochocinco doesn't pull punches on anyone.
Chad Ochocinco joined 790 The Zone in Atlanta with The 2 Live Stews to discuss the inside scoop on Terrell Owens's knee injury, being back with the Cincinnati Bengals this year, the NFL lockout ending, Carson Palmer being done, his thoughts on Marvin Lewis, his workouts with Terrelle Pryor, Drew Rosenhaus working out with him in the off-season and the future of Plaxico Burress in the NFL.
We know you know the inside scoop. How did T.O. mess up that knee?
"It was news to me when I heard it. I'm not sure. Has he confirmed it yet? I don't really know if it even happened because you know how sources are until Terrell calls my phone and says this is what happened you know so-on and so-fourth. I haven't heard from him. I wish him well if it did happen. Other then that that's it. That's all I know boss."
Are you going to be back with the Cincinnati Bengals this year? What is the deal with the lockout? When are we getting back to playing football?
"You know what I'm not sure. First off as far as the lockout goes I have no idea. I have no idea when we'll be back. I try to put people into perspective on how difficult this situation is. You have to think about let's take an agent and an owner and a players and let's say for instance his contract is up. Think about the tug and pull it's going to take for those three to come to an agreement on a simple contract with one person? So now you take 32 owners with 32 different views and 32 different egos. They have their point of view. Our union that represents us as players has our point of view and there's so much tug and pull back-and-fourth it's no way we are going to start on time. It's impossible and if we did start on time we are going to take the bad end of the stick, which is probably going to happen anyway because we are the players and the owners always will get the leverage and that's the way it goes. As far as going back to the Bengals it doesn't matter where I am at. People can say whatever they want. Whereever I am I'm going to make it happen. They always say 'the grass ain't green on the other side.' My damn grass has been brown for a long time."
Is Carson Palmer done? Is he playing?
"I haven't talked to him, but he's not playing. He's not playing. When someone goes out of character like that, especially a white guy with red hair that grows a random beard? When he says he's going to do something he's going to do it. He's not playing."
What are your thoughts on Marvin Lewis because he's taken some shots at you too? Is that relationship repairable?
"I don't know. Hopefully Marvin is doing this maybe to help me out. Maybe he is trying to cause some friction between himself and me. Maybe he doesn't like me for real. He doesn't like me well I don't like him either. Maybe he's doing this to help the situation out. Maybe he's trying to do this to show Mike Brown I don't think I can coincide with Chad, but dammit I can't coincide with him either and if he really feels that way when I see him I'm going to whoop his ass."
Your thoughts after your workouts with Terrelle Pryor? Was he the real deal or were you trying to help a brother out?
"It's one thing you know about me. You've known me for a long time. You know how I am. I don't sugarcoat nothing. If you sorry, I am going to tell you that you are sorry. I'm going to tell you what you need to work on. Now if I see you in person and have a chance to work with you I'm going to tell you the truth and that's one thing I don't play. The dude can play football. The things you look for in a quarterback, those essentials, those tools, he has them. The arm strength. He has all of that. It's my first time throwing with Terrelle Pryor and the timing was phenomenal. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. ESPN and the media had me thinking he couldn't play quarterback at all. He was horrible. He has to move. He has to change positions. So I get out there and throw it and I'm thinking I'm going to see one thing and he comes out with the first ball and it almost hit me in my nose. I'm like 'wait a minute something ain't right.' This isn't what I heard, so I'm seeing for myself. With the right coaching and if this kid gets with the right coaching and the right team…the sky is the limit. That's all I can tell you."
What would say about your agent Drew Rosenhaus?
"That's probably the best agent out there. Honestly. Period. You want an agent that's similar to you as a player. You want an agent to represent you that is just as hungry as you are when you touch the field and just as hungry about the business trying to get as much as he can for you and maybe a little bit more. He's good and you know what's really funny? When I train he trains. I never had an agent train with me. He actually trains with me when it comes to cardio and running and doing stuff like that and it's cool man. It's really cool."
What kind of future do you see with Plaxico Burress?
"Man I have been training with Plaxico also. He looks like he is ready to play. It's one thing to be able to see somebody running routes in the air, but it doesn't take too long once you get inside an organized group to get the rhythm back. From what I saw he hasn't missed a beat. He hasn't missed a beat. We trained all of last week together he looks really good man, really good."
