About the Book
Mary Karr's bestselling, unforgettable sequel to her beloved memoirs The Liars' Club and Cherry—and one of the most critically acclaimed books of the year—Lit is about getting drunk and getting sober; becoming a mother by letting go of a mother; learning to write by learning to live.
The Boston Globe calls Lit a book that "reminds us not only how compelling personal stories can be, but how, in the hands of a master, they can transmute into the highest art." The New York Times Book Review calls it "a master class on the art of the memoir" in its Top 10 Books of 2009 Citation. Michiko Kakutani calls it "a book that lassos you, hogties your emotions and won't let you go" in her New York Times review. And Susan Cheever states, simply, that Lit is "the best book about being a woman in America I have read in years."
In addition to the New York Times, Lit was named a Best Book of 2009 by the New Yorker (Reviewer Favorite), Entertainment Weekly (Top 10), Time (Top 10), the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Chicago Tribune, the Christian Science Monitor, Slate, the St. Louis Post Dispatch, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and the Seattle Times.
Lit is about getting drunk and getting sober; becoming a mother by letting go of a mother; learning to write by learning to live. Written with Karr's relentless honesty, unflinching self-scrutiny, and irreverent, lacerating humor, it is a truly electrifying story of how to grow up—as only Mary Karr can tell it.
Critical Praise
"Irresistible. . . . [Written] with trademark wit, precision, and unfailing courage." —Pam Houston, O Magazine
"Mary Karr restores memoir form's dignity with Lit." —Vanity Fair
"Riveting." —Redbook Magazine
"Mary Karr sparked a memoir revival with The Liars' Club-now she's back with Lit to describe how she turned those early troubles into literary gold." —Body + Soul
"An absolute gem that secures Karr's place as one of the best memoirists of her generation. . . . [She] writes with a singular combination of poetic grace and Texan verve." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"[Karr's] poetic sensibility infuses every sentence of her story with an alliterative and symbolic energy, conjuring echoes of poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, and occasionally, Sylvia Plath." —Publishers Weekly
"Her tale is riveting, her style clear-eyed and frank. That Karr survived the emotional and physical journey she regales her readers with to become the evenhanded, self-disciplined writer she is today is arguably nothing short of a miracle, and readers of her previous two books won't be disappointed." —Library Journal
"Searing. . . . A book that lassos you, hogties your emotions and won't let you go. . . . Chronicles with searching intelligence, humor and grace the author's slow, sometimes exhilarating, sometimes painful discovery of her vocation and her voice as a poet and writer." —Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
"Karr could tell you what's on her grocery list, and its humor would make you bust a gut, its unexpected insights would make you think and her pitch-perfect command of our American vernacular might even take your breath away…. [Karr] holds the position of grande dame memoirista." —Samantha Dunn, Los Angeles Times
"In a gravelly, ground-glass-under-your-heel voice that can take you from laughter to awe in a few sentences, Karr has written the best book about being a woman in America I have read in years." —Susan Cheever, New York Times Book Review
"As irresistible as it is unflinchingly honest. . . . With grace, saltiness and profanity galore, Karr undeniably re-establishes herself as one of our finest memoirists and storytellers." —Melanie Gideon, San Francisco Chronicle
"Dazzling. . . . Lit reminds us not only how compelling personal stories can be, but how, in the hands of a master, they can transmute into the highest art." —Rebecca Steinitz, Boston Globe
"[A] radiant, rueful, rip-roaring book. . . .Warm enough to burn a hole in your heart." —Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly
"Scrappy, gut-wrenching. . . . Irresistible. . . . [Written] with trademark wit, precision, and unfailing courage." —Pam Houston, O Magazine
"There isn't a single false note in Lit." —Carmela Ciuraru, Christian Science Monitor
"A redemptive, painfully funny story." —Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today
"Karr movingly depicts her halting journey into AA, making it clear her grit and spirit remain intact." —Michelle Green, People (3 ½ out of 4 stars)
"Lit matches its predecessors in candor and outstrips them in insight." —Commonweal
"Karr's sharp and funny sensibility won me over to her previous two volumes, but what wins me over to Lit is the way her acute self-awareness conquers any hint that hers is the only version of this story…. Karr is as funny as ever." —Valery Sayers, Washington Post
"With this third book Karr has managed to raise the bar higher still on the genre of memoir." —Steve Ross, Huffington Post
"[Karr] continues to delight with her signature dark humor and pitch-perfect metaphors delivering large doses of wit and painful insights. . . . There are plenty of memoirs about being drunk, but this one has Karr's voice-both sure-footed and breezy-behind it." —Beth Greenfield, Time Out New York
"Mary Karr has never lacked for material. But she's always delivered on the craft side, too, with her poet's gift for show-and-tell." —Elizabeth Foy Larsen, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"A brutally honest, sparkling story." —Glamour

I believe it's also the religion's problem. Yes, people = shit, but as it turns out no religion works if there's no shit that follows it. It's said religion's leaders who do nothing to dissuade people from actually believing that stuff who are making religion disappear altogether (cuz even the most idiotic people will end up getting fed up if religious leaders continue to spit bullshit upon bullshit). It involves religion because it directly affects it (for the religions that predict a doomsday scenario).Blood Lord wrote:Which is why its the people, not the religion that is the problem.

I am leaving rainy Vancouver for sunny San Francisco to immerse myself in a heap of creative thinkers at Compostmodern 2011 - a conference about design and sustainability.
Other than the bonus weather I am excited to attend because, in my work life, I am typically the only communication designer in boardrooms and teleconference calls stacked with sustainability planners, climate change program managers and environmental coordinators. This weekend I can schmooze with a crew that will probably relate more to the 'postmodern' aspect of the conference than the 'compost'.
Don't get me wrong, most designers get waste-reduction but what I hope to explore at this event is more than the well-worn language around material use. I believe we creative professionals are recomposing the discussion of managing intensities of waste; into the realm of critiquing and creating better systems of practice.
My travel partner Lisa Hemingway, creative consultant, and principal of Backyard Creative plans to go with an open mind and without preconceived goals, "I want to be really present," she says to me, "to really hear what is going on."
The second day's un-conference is a set up for this kind of learning and sharing. The un-conference is a half-day session emphasizing dialogue and open discussion where attendees will be able to propose topics about which they are passionate and curious. It's also a chance to met with leaders in the field, push boundaries and have some fun.
This year's Compostmodern will explore the current and future potential for ecologically sustainable growth and responsible design, focusing on real-world solutions and practical applications of design thinking. It is presented by the San Francisco Chapter of AIGA.

I love your dishes. I have similar one. Couldn't resist! I also adore your fabric choice!

I am like you...I love the dishes and when i can find them to add to my mom's collection she left me I pick them up! I use them too! I think it lends good memories from her making all those yummy foods when I was little...Have fun with those!

I have one of the small "fridgie" containers with lid - it is a turquoise blue color....my husband likes chili on his hot dogs so we use it pretty much just to heat up some chili in the microwave...it's the perfect size!

I love vintage pyrex too! Could you use the little fridge dish for packets of sweetner? That way it could stay out on the counter or on a shelf. I love the fabric too. It would make a great cafe curtain in a retro kitchen.

I love the shades of colors used in pyrex...and it's fun being able to USE something I collect!!

I'm not sure how big your fridge container is but maybe butter or jelly? I like buying just one of a bowl and using it for almost anything else except as a bowl to eat something out of! They hold sweetner containers, jewelry, put a magnet on the bottom and use it as my pin holder, etc. They are just so cute!

I love seeing your Pyrex pieces. I have one of the little fridge containers - rectangular, red with a scalloped edge lid. Also have a larger retangular blue one - lid lost long ago - that was the butter dish. Way back in the old days (the 1960's) before soft spreadable butter and margarine, my mother used take a pound of butter & cream or milk and blend the heck out of to make easy spread butter and it was kept in that blue pyrex dish in the fridge!! Thanks for bringing back a great memory!!

I recently got that same gooseberry piece. I got lucky and found that one and the next size up that is white with the pink pattern. They both had lids and I got them for $5! I love them. Thank you so much for sharing!

Oooh, love that yummy pyrex! I occasionally see the whole set (4 bowls) that your little yellow bowl belongs too for around $60 but I can't ever decide whether that's a good deal or not. I love your fridgie too -- I want some!

I have a little Fire king green fridgie...I use it for my used teabags and stir spoon...the lid sits underneath it and is used when the dish is being washed!:)
I have a longer clear one that holds graham crackers!:) - January 21, 2013 at 5:23 PM

I have a glass fridgie box, not pyrex but a reproduction of the orginal fridge boxes. I use it to put half an onion or chopped veggies for salads. Love seeing your collection, so cute!

- Holli said...
Love all your Pyrex. I don't have any old Pyrex, but do remember it in my mother's kitchen (both it and she are still around!). I was happy to hear you were able to mix up your morning routine with that pretty yellow bowl. Its the little things . . .

Your Pyrex collection is so inspiring. I would love a piece or two in pink. I have the nested bowls in the classic yellow, green, red and blue. I could have waited to get them eventually from my mother, but I'm so happy to have my set NOW--I use them all the time! And Melody Miller's new line. *sigh* I just might have to already make an exception to my "sew with my own stash" pledge and buy just a couple of pieces...

Cute pieces. I went to an antique mall today in search of pink and didn't find any. I only have a flamingo pink loaf pan and a striped pink bowl so far. I saw all colors I have a lot of. Dark green and gold, mostly.

- Sarah said...
I see all these Pyrex collections on quilting blogs and it makes me wonder. My mum has so much of this and I've never thought of it as collectible. It's just her old cookware! She uses it all the time and has forever. I dare say it was given to her as wedding presents when she and Dad married in 1974. Maybe I should tell her she's using vintage modern trendy collectables!

- Aimee said...
My mother-in-law has that exact tiny refrigerator dish. She keeps it on her counter to hold butter at room temperature. Lucky for me she likes to shop antiques and I have gotten a few 1950's (turquoise) pieces as gifts. I even swiped a 1970's harvest gold piece from my mom's Goodwill pile! Love to use mine when entertaining. I always get lots of compliments.
- January 22, 2013 at 7:25 AM
- jlk said...
I love those phones. LOVE. The bathroom in my new (built in 1970) house has a green tub, tile, and toilet in that exact color. Maybe I ought to add turquoise to liven it up a bit.
- January 22, 2013 at 7:45 AM
- Little Sweet Spots said...
I was thinking the same as Aimee's mom-in-law for the fridgie dish. I really want for it to be a butter dish. It is its life's calling :)

- Acorn to Oak said...
Oooh! I love your most recent Pyrex finds. Especially the pink and green ones. Those colors are so pretty and I like the patterns a lot too. I only have two Pyrex colored bowls. They were my mom's. One is a large turquoise one with a white pattern and the other is white with a turquoise pattern. I think they were part of a three piece set. I think it's missing the middle sized one. I saw some of those red fridgies at an antique store a couple of weeks ago. They're so cute and so practical. Although, I'd be worried about them getting broken too.
- January 22, 2013 at 5:28 PM
- diane said...
I love the look of vintage pyrex but touching it is like fingers on the blackboard for me. It has a weird dull feel. Or maybe that's just because my mother-in-law's pyrex was not cared for properly. Now what I do love it Jeni's new fabric. Can't wait to see what you make with it.

I use a fridgie as a pin container in my sewing room. It is lilac colour and beautiful - no lid though.
- January 23, 2013 at 9:38 AM
- Karin said...
I love love love my vintage pyrex! My mom gave me her casserole set (3 round that stack together with lids) in the aqua/white - she got them for a wedding gift in 1962. Love. I found a rectangle casserole in the same print recently to add to the set - and I have 2 white mixing bowls too that I think are from the same era. I think they might have come with a mixer because they work very well for my 1962 Hamilton Beach mixer that she also gave me. Anyhow, I am going to take a peek at the pyrex blog, but I will keep it to reading one page! Can't get stuck on blogs all day, LOL

I've never collected or owned Pyrex but thanks to you I just bought my first pieces on Etsy. I was surprised they were pretty inexpensive. I think I hooked now!

your wee"fridgie" box with a lid......
i am so-o-o-o-o envious.....
i have/had the exact same container....
had: the top & bottom
have: still the bottom
we use it as a butter dish....perfect, not a whole pile of butter at a time, just the right amount. i am on the hunt for another one again with the lid,
but you are right....oh so cute!! - January 31, 2013 at 7:54 PM

Thank you very much for your reply!
Hello From the Northwest Coast of America. I have a Finn-Nor Model 6500 that I use specifically for that purpose. Off-shore fishing here includes dropping line over 100 fathoms with weights near 16 ounces. This is usually due to wind and drift. Jigging is the only viable method to fish at these depths. I use hand tied streamer fly patterns as droppers off the main line. We locate them approx 1 foot up from the weight, and spaced 16 to 24 inches apart. This works well for Halibut and Ling Cod.
The Finn-Nor reel is a five stat performer in this environment by the way. Mine is matched to an Ande 20-50 lb spinning rod. What a combo.The rod matches the reel Purrrfectly....
You will be better off. I had that exact reel.
After 2 trip it fall apart had to jbwell the bail screw. Don't get me wrong it still catch fish.
Life to short ...no head ache with shimano reel or penn reel.

Syringomyelia is a fluid-filled hole that forms in the spinal cord. Over time, it damages the spinal cord.
The fluid buildup in syringomyelia may be caused by:
The fluid-filled hole usually begins in the neck area. It expands slowly, putting pressure on the spinal cord and slowly causing damage.
There may be no symptoms, or symptoms may include:
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease are:
A nervous system (neurologic) exam may show a loss of feeling or movement caused by pressure on the spinal cord.
Other tests that may be done include:
The goals of treatment are to stop the spinal cord damage from getting worse and to improve function.
Surgery may be needed to relieve pressure in the spinal cord. Physical therapy may be needed to improve muscle function.
A person with syringomyelia may need to have ventriculoperitoneal shunting , in which a catheter (thin, flexible tube) is inserted to drain the fluid buildup.
Without treatment, the disorder may get worse very slowly. Over time, it may cause severe disability.
Surgery usually stops the condition from getting worse. Nervous system function will improve in about half the people who have surgery.
Without treatment, the condition may lead to:
Possible complications of surgery include:
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of syringomyelia.
There is no known way to prevent this condition, other than avoiding injuries to the spinal cord. Getting treated right away slows the disorder from getting worse.

Hall Monitor: Playoff Pleasures
By Trevor Hayes
The regular season is done. That means October is upon us and there is no better time to see greatness than during Autumn's Glory.
Busy at the Hall: With the regular season over and the postseason heating up, donations are rolling into Cooperstown. On Sept. 19, Bobby Abreu clocked his 20th homer of the season, giving him nine seasons with at least 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases. Only Barry and Bobby Bonds – at 10 each – have more 20/20 seasons. To commemorate the achievement, his bat is now in Cooperstown.
Also announced this week following his historic pitching performance on Wednesday, Roy Halladay's jersey and a ball from the no-hitter will be making their way to join the artifacts from his May 29th perfect game and the items on display from Don Larsen's 1956 perfecto – the only other no-hitter in postseason history.
Not to be outdone: Tim Lincecum of the Giants, whose 1.78 September team ERA is the lowest in the Divisional Era, proved his mettle yesterday. Like Halladay, pitching in his first postseason game, Lincecum was brilliant. The two-time Cy Young winner struck out a postseason record 14 Braves, as he tossed a complete game two-hitter. Lincecum's mark tied Joe Coleman (1972), John Candelaria (1975), Mike Boddicker (1983) and Mike Scott (1986) for the major league record in a postseason debut.
Walking-off into infamy: Halladay threw his gem against the best offense in the National League, the Cincinnati Reds – a team which punched its first ticket to the postseason since 1995 in dramatic fashion last Tuesday. With the score tied at two, Jay Bruce smashed the first pitch he saw in the bottom of the ninth into batter's eye grass in left-center field at Great American Ballpark. The walk-off was the fifth game-ending home run to clinch a postseason berth.
The others include Steve Finley's grand slam for the Dodgers in 2004, Alfonso Soriano's first career hit that sent the 1999 Yankees on to postseason glory and the famous "Shot Heard Round the World" by Bobby Thomson for the 1951 Giants. The only Hall of Famer walk-off postseason clincher came from Hank Aaron, in the 11th inning for the 1957 Milwaukee Braves.
Trend Tracker: Twenty-year-old rookie Jayson Heyward drew a walk against Lincecum, one of just three Braves to reach base against the Giants ace. Heyward's walk was just an extension of the 91 he racked up during the regular season – a number surpassed at his age by only Hall of Famers Mel Ott (113 in 1929) and Ted Williams (107 in 1939).
Also look for Tampa Bay catcher John Jaso. The lefty-swinging backstop only stole four bases this season, but batted leadoff 45 times in his 88 starts. Hitting .272 with a .380 on-base percentage, if the Rays stay alive, he may get a start there again. If he hits leadoff against right-handed Colby Lewis on Saturday, he would join just two other catchers to start in the one-hole in the postseason. The others are noted speedster Jason Kendall for the 2006 Oakland A's and Hall of Famer Roger Bresnahan for the 1905 New York Giants.
Trevor Hayes is the editorial production manager at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

At Barry Callebaut, we recognize that our businesses have an influence on the livelihoods of many people around the world. We believe we have a responsibility to all our stakeholders – shareholders, customers, consumers, suppliers, farmers, employees and the communities where we operate – that goes beyond making a profit. We pay particular attention to conditions in cocoa-producing countries. We regard activities that help to empower cocoa farmers, for example, to be an important factor in ensuring a sustainable cocoa industry and facilitating the economic growth of cocoa-producing countries.
We focus our corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability activities on stakeholders along our value chain and on issues related to our business. Principles and guidelines for behavior for all Barry Callebaut employees including behavior related to our CSR and sustainability activities are set forth in our Barry Callebaut Code of Conduct. Our Code of Conduct is complemented by our corporate and local policies and regulations and applies to all Barry Callebaut employees worldwide.
Human rights, forced labor and child labor
Barry Callebaut observes the principles set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We strongly condemn forced labor, slavery and all practices that exploit children or expose them to harmful or hazardous conditions. Child labor as defined by the ILO refers to work that is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful to children. We strictly adhere to local laws regarding minimum age and other terms of employment in our factories. The minimum age for employment at Barry Callebaut shall be in accordance with ILO Conventions or the age specified by local legislation if higher.
Sustainable and responsible farming and business practices
Barry Callebaut recognizes that farmers, particularly smallholders, in various regions of the world may face significant challenges in growing, harvesting and marketing their various crops. We strongly encourage adherence to sustainable agricultural practices. We expect fair and sound business practices to be followed by the farmers, farmer organizations, and other supplier organizations with whom we have commercial dealings.
Our focus on empowering cocoa farmers
Our business depends on cocoa, a fragile and sensitive crop grown in a narrow band around the Equator in some of the poorest countries of the world. Therefore, we actively contribute to ensuring that cocoa is grown in a sustainable and responsible way that generates income for farmers and that safeguards the environment. In addition to our own company programs, we contribute to a range of industry associations, initiatives and programs focused on sustainable cocoa production and increased income for farmers. These include the World Cocoa Foundation, the Cocoa Livelihoods Program, the Sustainable Tree Crops Program and the African Cocoa Initiative. In our Barry Callebaut Quality Partner Program with cocoa farmer cooperatives, we work with cocoa farmers to improve crop yields and quality, thereby helping to increase farmer incomes and improve family livelihoods.
International Cocoa Initiative (ICI)
The International Cocoa Initiative (ICI) is a non-profit foundation established as one of the milestones of the Harkin-Engel Protocol, also known as the Cocoa Industry Protocol. As a signatory of the Harkin-Engel Protocol, we underscored our commitment as an industry member to work in partnership with governments, business and civil society towards the elimination of abusive child labor and forced adult labor in cocoa growing. Barry Callebaut is a member of the Board of ICI. Our financial contributions support the delivery of child labor sensitization programs and other education-oriented and community-based activities that are executed through local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana. These two countries in West Africa are the largest producers of cocoa beans, together supplying almost 70% of the world's annual supply. They were the focus of the Harkin-Engel Protocol and subsequent initiatives. ICI is guided by international standards, in particular ILO Convention 182 (Worst Forms of Child Labor Convention, 1999) and 29 (Forced Labor Convention, 1930). The International Labor Organization (ILO) is an advisor to the ICI Board.
Assessing and addressing supply chain risks
With respect to cocoa, third party evaluations and assessments about child labor in the sector have been conducted through activities associated with the Harkin-Engel Protocol, including, for example, the Tulane Report commissioned by the Bureau of International Affairs, U.S. Department of Labor, and country studies conducted by ministries in the national governments of Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana. With respect to other crops that we may source for use in the production of chocolate recipes, third party evaluations and assessments are being conducted on palm oil and hazelnuts, for example.
Auditing supplier compliance with company policies and procedures
Barry Callebaut conducts periodic audits of all suppliers of non-cocoa ingredients and goods. The audits, based on ISO standards, address quality compliance and ethical compliance, and are not presently conducted by a third party. With respect to cocoa, we conduct audits of cocoa farmer cooperatives to determine their eligibility to participate in our Quality Partner Program. All participating cooperatives are required to sign a charter in which they agree to not use child labor as defined by the ILO.
Certification processes and standards
Barry Callebaut works with its customers to meet their specific cocoa and chocolate requirements. This includes sourcing quantities of raw materials including cocoa and sugar that have been independently certified by third parties as being compliant with specific certification standards. Forced child labor and forced adult labor are expressly forbidden under such standards.
Accountability standards
Our standards regarding human rights, forced labor and child labor are articulated in our Code of Conduct. Standards and procedures for reporting wrongful acts or suspected wrongful acts in violation of the Code of Conduct are communicated to all employees.
Communications and training
All Barry Callebaut employees worldwide receive a copy of the Barry Callebaut Code of Conduct in their local language. The Code of Conduct sets forth principles and guidelines for behavior and is complemented by our corporate and local policies and regulations. It is the responsibility of each employee to uphold the principles of the Code, and employees are encouraged to seek advice and to raise questions or concerns at any time with their manager, local HR department or Group Legal department. Information about our corporate social responsibility activities and sector issues and related actions are communicated regularly on the company intranet, corporate website, and internal and external publications. In addition, study tours in cocoa growing countries offer employees the opportunity to experience the cocoa sector first-hand and foster ongoing learning and understanding of sector issues, challenges and solutions.
Barry Callebaut will update this statement as necessary.

Bleeding esophageal varices are enlarged veins in the walls of the lower part of the esophagus that bleed. The esophagus is the tube that connects your throat to your stomach.
Scarring (cirrhosis ) of the liver is the most common cause of esophageal varices. This scarring cuts down on blood flowing through the liver. As a result, more blood flows through the veins of the esophagus.
The extra blood flow causes the veins in the esophagus to balloon outward. Heavy bleeding can occur if the veins break open.
Any type of chronic liver disease can cause esophageal varices.
Varices can also occur in the upper part of the stomach.
People with chronic liver disease and esophageal varices may have no symptoms.
If there is only a small amount of bleeding, the only symptom may be dark or black streaks in the stools.
If larger amounts of bleeding occur, symptoms may include:
Your doctor will do a physical exam which may show:
Tests to find the source of the bleeding and determine if there is active bleeding include:
Some doctors recommend EGD for patients who are newly diagnosed with mild to moderate cirrhosis. This test screens for esophageal varices and treats them before there is bleeding.
The goal of treatment is to stop acute bleeding as soon as possible. Bleeding must be controlled quickly to prevent shock and death.
If massive bleeding occurs, a person may need to be put on a ventilator to protect the airways and prevent blood from going down into the lungs.
To treat acute bleeding:
Once the bleeding is stopped, varices can be treated with medicines and medical procedures to prevent future bleeding including:
Emergency surgery may be used (rarely) to treat patients if other therapy fails. Portocaval shunts or surgery to remove the esophagus are two treatment options, but these procedures are risky.
Patients with bleeding varices from liver disease may need more treatment for their liver disease, including a liver transplant.
Bleeding often comes back with or without treatment. Bleeding esophageal varices are a serious complication of liver disease and have a poor outcome. Placement of a shunt can result in a decrease of blood supply to the brain, leading to mental status changes or encephalopathy.
Call your health care provider or go to an emergency room if you vomit blood or have black tarry stools.
Treating the causes of liver disease may prevent bleeding. Preventive treatment of varices with drugs such as beta blockers or with endoscopic banding may help prevent bleeding. Liver transplantation should be considered for some patients.

Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN
Ultima Vez Modificado: 10 de enero del 2006
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
How can you tell if the anti-cancer drug you are taking is working? For, example, I am taking Tamoxifen for metastatic breast cancer. How will I know if it is effective?
Carolyn Vachani, RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Nurse Educator responds:
In the case of most anti-cancer medications, the best way to know it is working (responding) is to see shrinking of the tumor. This may be seen by an imaging study, such as CT scan, MRI, bone scan or PET scan. Some tumors may be better followed by a blood test called a tumor marker, for example, CA125 levels can follow the response of an ovarian cancer (CA 27.29 levels can be followed in some breast cancer patients). Some cancers may be easily seen, such as a skin cancer, or felt under the skin. In that case, the patient and physician may be able to follow the response visually.
The next issue to address is how long should you wait to see a response? This depends on the medication being used. Hormone therapy, like Tamoxifen, can take several months before a response is seen. Some women will even have a "flare" of the tumor in the first 1-2 weeks on hormonal therapy – causing bone pain and redness of skin lesions (if they have skin lesions), which may seem like the medication isn't working. So patience is important with hormone therapy. One would expect a much quicker response to traditional chemotherapy (but also many more side effects).
Mar 5, 2015 - Tamoxifen and raloxifene can reduce the risk of breast cancer in high-risk women, according to updated guidelines published online May 26 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. In a related study in the same issue, weekly treatment of metastatic breast cancer with an albumin-bound form of paclitaxel improves survival compared with docetaxel.

Focus on Equities for March 2013
By Natalie Trunow, Chief Investment Officer, Equities, Calvert Investment Management, Inc.
CIO, Equities
An improving housing market, better employment picture, a decent earnings season, and accommodative monetary policy helped the U.S. equity market finish the first quarter of 2013 on a high note as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Standard and Poor's (S&P) 500 Index both reached record highs in March. International equities, on the other-hand, continued to underperform relative to the U.S. as the underlying economic reality in Europe began to seep through into investor sentiment and market performance. For the month, the S&P 500, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, MSCI EAFE, and MSCI Emerging Markets Indices returned 3.75%, 3.86%, 4.62%, 0.88%, and -1.70%, respectively. Value stocks outperformed growth stocks for the fourth consecutive month. Within the Russell 1000 Index, Health Care, Utilities, and Consumer Staples were the top-performing sectors, while the Energy, Materials, and Information Technology sectors lagged.
U.S. Economic Data Continues to Improve as Fed Maintains Accommodative Monetary Policy
Economic conditions in the U.S. continued to gradually improve during the month with the recovering U.S. housing market now providing a positive impact on economic growth and consumer confidence as well as contributing to employment in housing-related sectors, as opposed to being a drag on the economy. Data released during the month indicated housing starts and building permits surged in February while sales of existing homes increased to the highest rate since November 2009. The inventory of homes for sale also continued to decline, which has been helping push up home values.
The ISM National Manufacturing PMI fell slightly in March but still showed an expansion in U.S manufacturing activity, while industrial production was up 2.5% on a year-over-year basis, driven by significant gains in automotive production.
The labor market continued to show signs of healing as continuing unemployment claims maintained their downward trend (though the March payroll report came in weaker than expected). Personal income and consumer spending data also rebounded. The unemployment rate declined to 7.6%, driven by a sharp drop in labor force participation.
Inflation remained tame as the Fed maintained its accommodative stance.
Recessionary Pressures Persist in Europe, Negatively Impacting Emerging Market Economies
At the same time, the underlying economic fundamentals, not only in peripheral Europe, but in core European economies continued to present a picture of significant recessionary pressures within European economies all the way to the core. Eurozone manufacturing PMI fell deeper into contraction territory in March with Germany also slipping back into contraction territory.
Political turmoil persisted in Italy with the country unable to form a government. Standard & Poor's rating agency warned during the month that Spain, Italy, Portugal, and France might have difficulty carrying through necessary reforms with their populations likely to oppose further austerity measures.
Economic and financial crisis was averted in Cyprus as the country's policymakers were able to reach a deal with eurozone finance ministers and international creditors for a €10 billion bailout. The deal required Cyprus to contribute to the rescue package through a levy on bank deposits greater than €100,000. While the last-minute deal prevented an imminent default of the country's major banks, it also renewed concerns about the region's ability to resolve its sovereign debt crisis. Â
Unfortunately, recessionary pressures in Europe are also likely to continue impacting emerging market economies. However, data continued pointing to signs of China's economy stabilizing. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) increased for the first time in nine months and both measures of manufacturing PMI also increased in March. Despite these positive developments, a study published by the U.S. Federal Reserve during the month suggested China's economic growth could slow significantly over the coming years due to an aging population and declining productivity.
Equity markets started 2013 having gained a tremendous amount of ground since the depths of the financial crisis. A recovering U.S. housing market, a decline in unemployment, record-high exports, and encouraging year-end manufacturing data fueled by an attractive U.S. dollar exchange rate have all helped boost U.S. equity market sentiment. However, with the possibility of a less-than-stellar upcoming earnings season, and few positive catalysts on the near-term horizon, a short-term pull-back in equities remains a distinct possibility.
Though the U.S. economic recovery has remained tepid, the United States remains in the driver's seat of the global economy for the time being with many developed economies in the world still struggling. We believe the U.S. economy will be able to maintain some expansion despite the sequester. Despite having a short-term negative impact on economic growth, actions that reduce spending and improve budget strength for the U.S. over the long-term are necessary. We expect housing to continue as a major driver of the recovery through its multiplier effect on the economy as a whole and on consumer confidence.
We continue to believe that the consensus forecast from the past several months for a European recovery was a bit premature. Because the economic recessionary pressures in the region are so pronounced and so strong (especially in peripheral Europe)—with Cyprus one example, however small—over time the potential default issue may continue to resurface, and markets could be reawakened to that reality.

Crown MA-5000/5002VZ amplifiers loaded with USP2/CN modules utilized on world's first totally digital tour ELKHART, Indiana, USA - March 2002 -- Pop music icon Neil Diamond is back out on tour again with Maryland Sound Industries - this time with a sound reinforcement system boasting the world's first all-digital signal path between its microphones and loudspeakers. One of the key components in achieving this distinction was the use of Crown's new IQ-PIP USP2/CN CobraNet™ module. Each of the 70 Crown Macro-Tech 5000/5002VZ house amplifiers on the tour is equipped with its own USP2/CN card. This allows digital audio signals sent from the Yamaha PM1D FOH console through a CobraNet converter and BSS ProSys PS-8810C to be fed directly into the amplifiers on Cat 5 Ethernet lines and switches. All of the processing for the production's JBL VerTec line-array loudspeakers - including crossover, delay and EQ - is performed via the Crown modules. Using a laptop, the PS-8810C DSP system is wirelessly called upon to compensate for differing room environments each night, leaving the Crown USP2/CN cards within the amplifiers to specifically address speaker processing. The ProSys unit further allows each of the JBL loudspeaker clusters to be grouped as single signals, and both the BSS and Crown products are controlled via Crown's IQ for Windows software v5.0, which provides a unified interface whether adjusting an entire cluster or just one driver. "Because our sound system this time around is entirely digital, it's dead quiet; the noise floor is extremely low," says Stanley R. Miller, Diamond's sound designer and chief engineer for live sound. "We've not had one single solitary problem with buzz or hum - something we used to spend an hour or two each day on previous tours trying to chase down. Overall, this rig sounds hands-down better than ever before, and there are a number of reasons for that, not the least of which would be Crown's new CN cards. "I've been using Crown amplifiers on Neil's tours ever since the first DC300s were introduced back in the '60s. In my opinion, Crown amps sound better than anything else on the market, not to mention the fact that Crown has long had the finest amplifier control system available. As the first person to take the IQ System out on a major tour in the late-'80s, I'm always interested in implementing the latest technological advances, which we've once again managed to do." Miller originally called upon Sam Helms of Manalapan, New Jersey-based Sigmet Corporation to help provide the system design. "When Stan told me over a year ago that he wanted the system for this tour to be totally digital, I had some initial concerns regarding the potential tradeoff in sonic quality; I was worried that it might be a bit tinny or brittle," Helms recalls. "But when we finally pieced the primary components together and first fired it up at MSI, we were all absolutely floored at the difference. The Crown USP2/CN module really showed off the attributes of the JBL VerTec loudspeaker. The vocals came right out of the box and the instrumentation seemed to be separated within the cabinet. There was hardly even any need for EQ. Then we A/B-ed it with an equivalent analog setup using a Crown USP2, which is an exceptional tool in its own right, and the difference was night and day. The detail we had achieved by going the all-digital route with the CN module was breathtaking." The first leg of Neil Diamond's current world tour ran from late last September through the end of 2001. Now he and his entourage are spending the next few months performing at additional arenas around the United States and are planning to take the production to the UK and Europe beginning in July. MSI has been contracted to provide sound reinforcement using the current SR system -including the Crown gear - on all of the overseas dates as well. Crown International, a Harman International company, manufactures amplifiers, microphones and systems control products for professional audio markets worldwide, with corporate headquarters located in Elkhart, Indiana. # # # March 2002 |
