The use of complementary therapies by cancer patients is a frequent topic of discussion and study. Many of us have added some form of "extra treatment" to our care and a few women reject Western medicine in favor of other methods. The conservative perspective (which I share) is that it never hurts--and may help--to include treatments that are "body exterior" (things like acupuncture, massage, Reiki, yoga) but that we should be cautious about anything that we swallow. Little is known about the interaction of most herbs and nutitional supplments with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Most doctors suggest that, if you want to use these, you wait until the standard treatments are done.
A new article by Barrie Cassileth, MD and colleagues addresses this issue. Here is the abstract:
Cancer patients' use of complementary therapies, including massage therapy, acupuncture, mind-body therapies, music therapy, physical exercise, and herbs and botanicals has increased in recent years. In fact, complementary therapies are increasingly integrated into mainstream cancer programs and centers. Randomized controlled studies indicate that many complementary therapies control treatment-related physical and emotional symptoms including pain, fatigue, nausea, xerostomia, anxiety, and depression in both adult and pediatric cancer patients. Importantly, many of these interventions produce long-lasting improvement. Cautions are important, however, regarding the use of herbs, vitamin preparations, and other over-the-counter agents. These may be harmful as many interact with conventional pharmacologic drugs, including chemotherapy, or produce unwanted side effects. A subset of the too-numerous Internet and other sources of information contains accurate information. Cautions and resources for reliable information are given in this chapter to assist physicians in guiding their patients on the appropriate use of helpful complementary therapies as well as the often problematic products that are taken by mouth.

Australia's only championship island golf course is just five minutes away on Dent Island, Hamilton Island's neighbour in the Whitsunday Islands.
Guarding the waters off central Queensland, Dent Island's lighthouse has been a beacon for sailors since the 1870s. For many years Dent Island was visited only by grazing cattle and fishermen. Nowadays the island is not only a magnet for golfers, it's ideally located for Dent Island day trips from Hamilton Island.
Paddle a kayak over Dent Island's coral reefs, snorkel with schools of tropical fish or hire a dingy and while away the day on a fishing expedition.
Dent Island's par 71 championship course was designed by champion golfer Peter Thomson, and features two distinctly different nine-hole circuits. Encircled by panoramic vistas of blue Coral Sea and shimmering Whitsunday Islands, the course is designed to challenge professionals and satisfy resort golfers.
If you're here on a golfing holiday, Dent Island accommodation packages include your choice of lodging on Hamilton Island and a soothing massage to complete your round of golf.
Whether you're on Dent Island holidays to play golf or relax, the Clubhouse restaurant invites you to sit back and drink in views over Dent Island to Passage Peak. Make a booking for lunch to dine on seasonal Modern Australian cuisine, or unwind with a drink in the Clubhouse bar.
Dent Island is Hamilton Island's western neighbour – in fact it's so close it's often called Hamilton West!
Dent Island is five minutes by ferry or helicopter from Hamilton Island, or you can hire a dinghy from Hamilton Island's marina to cast a line on a fishing and snorkelling day trip.

text: ELMIRA, NY: Hardinge Inc. (http://www.hardinge.com/) announced that the newest version of the Bridgeport GX-1000 40" x 21" vertical machining center to be displayed at IMTS (Booth S8348) has been designed with the Okuma OSP-P200 Control, drives, motors and encoders. Rick Simons, President and CEO of Hardinge Inc. commented, "The addition of the Okuma control option for our GX 1000 machine enhances the product offerings for our US distribution partners. We will also continue to offer the Bridgeport line with the Fanuc i Series control to serve our diversified US customer base. With a combined total of over 40,000 OSP controlled Okuma machine tools installed; Hardinge's new US distribution network will now be able to serve a broader base of customers with a consistent message of the advantages of OSP controls. "Combining the Bridgeport GX-1000 vertical machining center with Okuma's world leading open architecture control system will enable customers seeking a value priced VMC to enjoy the productivity benefits of the latest CNC control technology," said Lee Morris, Chairman and CEO of Morris Group, Inc. "Okuma has been manufacturing CNC controls, drives and motors since 1961 and the OSP-P200 has awesome performance and reliability." The OSP-P200 is a true open architecture Windows based CNC control enabling a user to take advantage of industry standard and off-the-shelf plug and play devices by using the onboard Ethernet or USB slots, and because of its open architecture almost any software application can be installed. In addition to 3rd party software, data and communications between the machine and control are easy to exploit with the documented API set which comes at no additional cost to customers. Users frequently integrate OSP controlled machines with enterprise manufacturing information systems. The OSP control comes standard with a 15" LCD touch screen, 512MB of RAM, a 40 GB hard drive and runs the Windows operating system. The offering of the OSP control on the GX-1000 has another big advantage for service and support requirements. With the machine and the electronics both being supported by the distributor, customers have the advantage of a single source supplier. When a service technician is dispatched, their knowledge on the entire machine becomes invaluable in saving time and expense.

To enable transactions in a JMS component (thus enabling JMS endpoints to play the role either of a transactional resource or a transactional client), you need to:
set the transacted property
provide the JMS component with a reference to a suitable transaction manager
In addition, you may want to adjust the JMS component's cache level setting. External transaction managers can impact caching performance.
The easiest way to configure a JMS endpoint to participate in transactions is to create a new an instance of a Camel JMS component that has the proper settings. To do so:
Create a
element that has itsclass
attribute set toorg.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsComponent
.This bean creates an instance of the Fuse Mediation Router's JMS component.
Set the bean's
attribute to a unique, short, string.The id will be used to create route endpoint's that use this JMS component.
Add an empty
child to the bean.Add a
attribute with the value ofconfiguration
to theproperty
element.Add a
attribute whose value is the id of aJmsConfiguration
bean to theproperty
bean is used to configure the JMS component.Create a
element that has itsclass
attribute set toorg.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsConfiguration
.This bean creates an instance of the Fuse Mediation Router's JMS component configuration.
Set the bean's
attribute to the value supplied for theref
attribute in Step 5.Add a
child to the bean to configure the JMS connection factory.Set the
attribute toconnectionFactory
.Set the
attribute to the id of a bean that configures a JMS connection factory.
Add an empty
child to the bean that specifies the transaction manager the component will use.Set the
attribute totransactionManager
.Set the
attribute to the id of a bean that configures transaction manager the endpoint will use.
Add an empty
child to the bean that configures the component to participate in transactions.Set the
attribute totransacted
.Set the
attribute totrue
.The transacted property determines if the endpoint can participate in transactions.
Optionally add an empty
child to the bean to change the default cache level.Set the
attribute tocacheLevelName
.Set the
attribute to to a valid cache level.
The JmsComponent
bean's id
the URI prefix used by JMS endpoints that will use the transactional JMS
component. For example, in Example 3.1 the
bean's id
, so endpoint that use the configured JMS component use the
The JmsConfiguration
class supports a large number of other properties,
which are essentially identical to the JMS URI options described in
JMS in EIP Component Reference.
The settings for JMS cache level can impact performance when you are using transactions.
The default cache level is CACHE_AUTO
. This default auto detects if an external
transaction manager is in use and sets the cache level as follows:
if only local JMS resources are in useCACHE_NONE
if an external transaction manager is in use
This behavior guarantees that there will not be any conflicts between caching and the transaction manager because some XA transaction managers require that caching is disabled. However, this behavior may not produce optimal performance.
If your transaction manager does not require that caching be disabled, you can raise the cache level to improve performance. Consult your transaction manager's documentation to determine what caching level it can support. Then override the default cache level by setting the JMS component's cacheLevelName property to the new cache level.
See JMS in EIP Component Reference for information on setting the cache level of the JMS component.
Example 3.1 shows the configuration of a JMS
component, jmstx
that supports Spring transactions. The JMS component is
layered over an embedded instance of Apache ActiveMQ and the transaction manager is an
instance of JmsTransactionManager
Example 3.1. JMS Transaction Manager Configuration
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd"> ... <bean id="jmstx" class="org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsComponent"> <property name="configuration" ref="jmsConfig" /> </bean> <bean id="jmsConfig" class="org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsConfiguration"> <property name="connectionFactory" ref="jmsConnectionFactory"/> <property name="transactionManager" ref="jmsTransactionManager"/> <property name="transacted" value="true"/> <property name="cacheLevelName" value="CACHE_CONNECTION"/> </bean> <bean id="jmsTransactionManager" class="org.springframework.jms.connection.JmsTransactionManager"> <property name="connectionFactory" ref="jmsConnectionFactory" /> </bean> <bean id="jmsConnectionFactory" class="org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory"> <property name="brokerURL" value="vm://broker1?brokerConfig=xbean:tutorial/activemq.xml"/> </bean> </beans>
To use this JMS component in a route you would use the URI prefix jmstx:
shown in Example 3.2.
Example 3.2. URI for Using Transacted JMS Endpoint
from("jmstx:queue:rawStockQuotes") .process(myFormatter) .to("jmstx:queue:formattedStockQuotes");

After qualifying first in the Women's Downhill on her Session 88, Trek World Racing's Tracy Moseley confirmed, after her 3rd in Mont-Sainte-Anne last week, that she is back on form. A couple of mistakes in the final robbed her of a higher place on the podium, but the team is thrilled to have Tracy back where she belongs, on podiums and on top of result sheets.
The men had a tougher time this week with Andrew Neethling crashing in both the qualifiers and the finals, despite being on a top-10 pace in nearly all sectors. It was just a bit of bad luck in the final where a critical section of the course had washed out before Andrew's run. Justin Leov qualified 9th on a track that doesn't suit, and was looking good for another top 10 today, but fell just outside in 11th.
The race was held in sunny and warm conditions, but the riders had to battle with a course that was bone dry in some sections, and still very wet from seepage in the forested areas. Overall, the results keep Trek World Racing in 2nd place, and Justin and Tracy keep their ranking steady, as 3rd and 6th respectively.
Tracy Moseley said: "After qualifying first I have to say I'm disappointed to come in 4th this afternoon. I was a little surprised when I crossed the line and saw the time. It's a weird track, as most people didn't lose time on the super technical sections; it was the relatively straight forward berms half way down where people lost chunks of time, including me. Fortunately I made up about 40 points on Emmeline (Ragot) today and I'm within striking distance for 2nd place overall. Now though, my focus is on preparing for the World Championships in 5 weeks."
Justin Leov said: "That's the best I think I could have done on this track. Not my favourite kind of race, a little too short, and I hit all the technical sections the best I did all week. It was the flatter easier sections which I didn't get right. My bike was more set up for the tougher stuff. I told my mechanic before the start that I felt a 2m 36 was the best I could do, and strangely, that's what I got. Maintaining 6th in the overall is important to me and I gained some ground on some key competitors."
Andrew Neethling said: "Two crashes in two races; I can't think of a time when I've ever done that. It sux as I was really fast at the splits in both races. In the final there was a berm that Justin and I were using as a key line, but when I arrived there, it had been completely washed out. It just wasn't there, and the next thing I knew was that my handlebars were under my ribs, and I hit the ground. I radioed up to Justin when I finished, so I could warn him, otherwise he would have gone down for sure. Pretty disappointed for sure, for me and the team."

Backstage, Zac Posen was clear about why he decided to give his lower-priced line its runway debut. "This is fashion-tainment!" he said. "I wanted to create that dialogue with the bloggers and the fans." And a few other people. This jam-packed spectacle included Brett Ratner, Russell Simmons, Kimora Lee Simmons, Ciara, and Claire Danes. Beyond reaching budding Bryan Boys, Posen is hoping to ratchet up the retail presence of Z Spoke, ending an exclusive with Saks Fifth Avenue.
For Spring, Z Spoke has a decidedly young, cartoon-y, and slightly madcap sensibility, partly via illustrator Daisy de Villeneuve's kooky-chic prints of smiling fruit, and a Celia Birtwell-esque motif of multiculti faces. Posen had three muses for the season: a sportswear-clad brunette, a blonde who adores ruffles and probably cats, and a glamour-puss redhead. For the first, lean cotton suits and smart denim skirts paired with printed blouses had an immediate appeal. Yet surely the shopper seeking out Posen Lite is in the market for a dress. Perhaps Posen's fair-haired lass has an endless appetite for frou, but the best dresses had characteristic flounce yet were free of rickrack and swingy fringe. The show ended with a black jersey gown with cutouts—Jessica Rabbit on the high street. After all, Posen wouldn't let a little thing like price point get in the way of his—and his potential slew of new customers'—red-carpet dreams.

Hopefully most of us have seen the Agenda 21 commercials on TV put out by the United Nations. Since the U.N. is sponsoring this movement, I really feel suspicious and alarmed. Their track record is not what you would call stellar, unless you are against the U.S.
The first commercial was about keeping or spending money on "imperfect babies". It reminded me of the opening scene in the movie "300" where Spartan babies are inspected and "discarded" if not perfect. This kind of Pagan society would fit right in today with the likes of George Bernard Shaw, Cloward and Piven, Margret Sanger, and our own president, who voted for "discarding" babies that survived abortion.
The second commercial was about older people who have "lived a good life". I guess that the U.N. will determine when seniors contribution to society is no longer needed. I feel that older people are an important part of the family unit and a source of wisdom and council to younger family and friends.
Why is this U.N. program even being considered in this country? Some liberal minded people think these ideas are good for society with programs names like "Sustainable Development", "Open Spaces", "Private Public Partnerships", and the "International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives". Sounds so wonderful, warm and fuzzy doesn't it? It's the usual hidden agenda most progressives want. It's called Control. Big government nanny state Control. The "Constitution is in the way" control.
Freedom loving people don't want this, but progressives do. Don't wait until we are all required to salute the U.N. flag.

I love The West Dover Inn! Innkeepers Phil and Kathy are wonderful, the food is fabulous, and the atmosphere is great. I enjoyed listening to Jim the singer/guitar player in the pub!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the West Dover Inn and our innkeepeer was truly outstanding!! He made the trip for us.

This is a lovely historic inn. The innkeeper, Phil, is wonderful - very helpful in planning your day, and really tries to make your stay a memorable one. The restaurant is great - food is fresh and lots of made from scratch items for breakfast. The staff is very friendly. Will definitely return for another stay!

My husband and I celebrated our 45th Anniversary with a trip through New England including a delightful two-night stay at the West Dover Inn, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in this beautiful and historic inn. It was our second visit to West Dover and what really made this one a standout was our host Phil Gilpin who greets guests warmly, feeds them well, and even advises tourists about "adventures" in his adopted area. He provided us with a map and a narrative of directions for a day trip that included the Gallery of Humor, the Grafton Handmade Cheese Factory, a new Saxton Distillery, the homes of Thomas Lincoln and Robert Frost, the Vermont Store, the Christmas Shop, and lots of other cool venues we would have missed or been too timid to attempt without his guidance. Our breakfasts, cooked by our host, were excellent and filling and our dinner was as well served up by the gregarious bartender George. The chef sent out some amazing chowder to try in a delicate soup cup as well as an amazing mussel breaded and topped with pineapple salsa. Unusual and delicious treats! We certainly hope we can find the way back to the West Dover Inn sooner than later.

we had a wonderful weekend at the West Dover Inn. The innkeepr could not have been nicer and more helpful. After hearing wha t we liked to do, he gave us suggestions to help plan our weekend. He printed out directions to local things and told alittle about each place. Our room was very quaint and well kept- a perfect Vermont Inn! The breakfasts were hearty and delicious-French toast, b,ueberry pancakes and omelettes. plus the packed picnic lunch was a plus! It is a great place for a New England getaway.

This was our first bed and breakfast experience and we loved it. The West Dover Inn is located in a beautiful area. We enjoyed visiting surrounding towns and walking in the area. The suite we stayed was beautifully decorated and furnished. We enjoyed the bar ambiance and music on Thursday. There was a nice crowd and we had fun. The hearty breakfast was an excellent to begin the day. We would like to come back.

date of visit 7/1 - 7/4/2012 We arrived on a Sunday late afternoon, and Phil the Innkeeper was warm and accomodating; even later bringing us a lovely cheese platter. I was a tad disappointed with the upkeep of the Inn, needs some freshening and repairs. the dining room and bar are outdated and need some help. the food was excellent and we told the chef. We did have to ask for our 3rd breakfast coupon, as we stayed 3 nights, we were only given 2. Shouldn't a Bed & Breakfast most definitely come with breakfast each morning? We tried to sit outside for dinner, but had to move indoors because of the bugs biting us! they were all over us! I saw that the patio was new, but does not look it. Could be much nicer. And the Inn is right near the road, very disappointing, because that is not shown in the pictures online. the price is pretty high for an old place with no views whatsoever. Staff is friendly and efficient and can't beat the food!

Food was outstanding: breakfast several choices, dinners were delicious

We thought the inn adorable and comfortably antiquated, the staff more than accommodating so expect to see us again.
4,6 en enero 18, 2012
We have never been to an Inn and we weren't sure what to expect. We arrived early and our room was ready so we were able to check in right away. The owners son gave us a tour of the Inn as well as the history behind it. He was very helpful, knowledgeable and extremely pleasant. After we checked in we went to the Adams Farm for a sleigh ride. It was awesome. Then we headed back to the Inn to freshen up and go to the bar for some drinks and appetizers and watch the game (Saints vs. 49ers) and then the (Pats vs. Broncos). The bartender was very friendly. The magician was awesome. Still trying to figure out how he gets the cards on the ceiling. There was a singer there as well. Very good. The food at the bar was awesome. And the best part was we didn't have to go out in the cold. The tavern had entertainment, the football game, food and drinks, friendly atmosphere. What more could you ask for? Met the owner the next morning. He was very nice. Even though they had closed for breakfast they opened the kitchen to accommodate us and made us breakfast. I can't say enough about this place. I would highly recommend it. We will definately making this our "go to" place in Vermont. Thanks for a great and memorable weekend!

Grounds were not as well kept as they appear in the picture. We were upgraded to a suite as we were the only guests that night, it was cold and the suite had a fireplace. It was a nice gesture but we thought the single rooms were much brighter and prettier. Our room was clean and the bed was cosy. Our host was very accommodating and friendly and provided us with a detailed route enabling us to explore the SW Vermont area with ease. Food was just ok but service was good. We found the inn overpriced for what we received and will try a B and B on our next visit.

Phil knows what he is doing, food great!, people great, would definately go there again and we will next year Thanks Chris Geagon

We came a little off season, but were kept cozy with all the fires around the B and B. We requested the duck tenders and squash ravioli appetizers in the living room along with our local wine which the Innkeeper had no trouble with our having in the living room. The food was so good that we decided to stay for dinner at The Tavern. We enjoyed the free entertainment and knowing that we were a part of the local community having a good time. Our room was neat and comfortable and we ventured off the next day in the rain to a wonderful place called The Garden Cafe in Londonderry, also not to be missed. Thank you West Dover Inn Hosts and Staff!

After spending the day skiing at Mt. Snow, we drove the two miles to the West Dover Inn. Although we had not stayed at this inn before, we found the history of the Inn to be of interest so we decided to try it. We throughly enjoyed our stay. The owner (and his son) were excellent hosts. The atmosphere was relaxed and provided an excellent example of New England hospitality. After spending time in the bar we decided to try the restaurant for dinner. The meal was excellent as we enjoyed our food at a table by the fireplace. If you like New England charm in a location that has character then you should give the West Dover Inn a try. Our only disappointment was we did not see the ghost that is supposed to have been seen in the Inn.

Our stay at the West Dover Inn was great! We were looking for a few days away from daily routine and visiting VT was the right choice. Phil greeted us upon arrival and showed us our room. We also arrived a few hours early and he was very accommodating on letting us check in early. We stayed in the Mount Snow suite. The room was great and very comfortable. It was also very convenient that the room was just upstairs from the bar/restaurant area. We went to the bar for dinner and live music. The food and service were excellent! We had good laughs with the locals and our bartender Greg. Overall our stay was a great getaway before heading back home.

Very nice place, Mr. Gilpin was extremely helpful in working with our late arrival and helping us plan some nice driving routes to our next destination in the morning. Highly recommended.

The West Dover Inn is everything you'd expect an Inn in Vermont to be, cozy, charming - the service warm and friendly. We had room 4 with a fireplace, which was a lovely perk. It was spacious and comfortable. Only issue we had was that the shower knobs are extremely temperamental and can run extremely hot or cold depending on a fraction of an inch! Other than this, we were very happy and would recommend it to anyone. They even have a cozy living room at the Inn with board games and comfy sofas to lounge inn.

A brief stay as part of a longer trip, our time at the inn was peaceful and relaxing. The innkeeper was cordial, entertaining, and highly skilled. The menu is uncomplicated, but every item was carefully prepared with fresh ingredients, many of them local. The staff was very careful with allergies and sensitivities, and made us feel welcome. We'd go back!

Innkeeper was extremely professional and accommodating. The rooms we're quaint with the only flaw being an advertised digital satellite service on a microscopic TV (but believe me, between the amazing two-person jacuzzi tub and fantastic dining room below.....the boobtube is really a non-issue). I went during a slow b&b season and still was able to find ample things for me and my fiancee to do. I would highly recommend this b&b to those looking for a warm, relaxing place at a reasonable price.

I needed to find a new place to stay, off the beaten path a bit, cozy and warm and different. I stay in the Vermont area quite a bit. I happened to be in town and needed an overnight and the whole area in the vicinity of Wilmington, was booked due to a large wedding. Phil Jr. and the staff took care of us and made the last minute stay, quite enjoyable. Stay here, you won't regret it!

We came up for a family wedding and saw this Inn on the internet. Was very impressed with both the friendliness and courtesy of all employees we met and talk to and also the innkeeper. The rooms were very nicely furnished and made your feel as though you were in your own home and not at a hotel. The food and service were excellent. This was our first time at a bed and breakfast and certainly will not be our last.

This was our 3rd esxperience with a B&B (although this one was without one B (Breakfast). Did have coffee that we made ourselfs. Was cold, dark and small bed. Guess this was what living in early 1800's was like! We think that this will be our last B&B.

This family run inn should not be missed on your visit to Vermont. The cozy room with beautiful antiques, delicious dining in front of the fire place was romantic and quaint. The bed was comfortable. The electric fireplace added extra warmth when we wanted it. The proprieters were friendly and accomodating. We enjoyed talking to Greg in the bar till closing. We loved the small towns, beautiful fall scenery, and friendly people in all of Windham county that we visited.

The West Dover Inn is beautiful on the outside. Because we had to have a room with two beds we were given a room above the restaurant. The beds were hard. Room was cold. The room smelled like all the food that was cooked below us. We could clearly hear each song being sung by the entertainment in the bar, glasses and dishes clanking and food being removed from dirty plates in the kitchen. However, I believe I ate the best steak I've ever had in their restaurant.

We had a wonderful stay with our young children. The big room was large and the 2 single beds made the kids happy that they did not have to sleep with each other or Mum and Dad. The room was very clean and charming with room to move. The beds were comfortable and warm covers. We had an issue with a noisy pipe in the wall which periodically woke us during the night, but overall our short stay was nice. The restaurant surprised us with the quality of the food, especially the steak.

Stayed two nights. Got a suite which included a gas fireplace and a two person jacuzzi tub. Overall the condition of the room was very good and clean. Did not like the fact that the room was over the tavern as the noise level was loud sometimes. Not too loud but if you are trying to relax and do not like noise it might be bothersome. Noise was gone around 10 p.m. Breakfast was not included in the room rate. If you add the price of breakfast on to your room then the price of the room is equal to other places. The breakfast was good. Overall we thought it was a very nice place to stay and we really did enjoy the amenities of the suite.

When I look for a moderately priced inn, I want to know that it is clean. West Dover Inn met the test. The host is quite accomodating - iron & ironing board brought to the room. Windows open and air conditioning is available if wanted. It has a bed and breakfast feel with a private table in the dining room. The big surprise was the 'fine dining' for dinner. The food was elegant and delicious and beautifully served. We were hosting a small birthday dinner and really appreciated the ambience.

Freight Forwarders Face Increasing Liabilities as Global Supply Chain Expands, Says TT Club
Thursday, 08 December 2011 | 00:00
Speaking at the Cargo and Freight Insurance Annual Conference in Moscow on Thursday, Andrew Kemp, TT Club's European Regional Director, will draw close attention to the complex risks that manufacturers, retailers and other users of transport and logistics services are expecting their suppliers to undertake as they continue to outsource more of their sub-assembly, inventory handling and distribution processes.
"Those traditional freight forwarders, who have, in the recent past seen the opportunity to expand the service role by offering extended warehousing, packaging, delivery fulfilment and even purchasing functions for many shippers are not always fully aware of the liabilities for cargo loss and third-party damages that these additional tasks are opening them up to," explains Kemp.
In particular, as supply chains continue to develop in order to supply emerging markets, where the cargo owners are not always willing to invest in distribution infrastructure, the out-sourcing of such tasks will proliferate. Of course, this can bring significant new business opportunities to companies, which had previously limited their service offerings to freight forwarding and the organisation of international transport. These additional procedures can be complex. Kemp cites an example,
"A typical new type of activity would be the packaging, for the local retail market of an item with a sales promotion attached (price discount or two for one offer). This task is straightforward in itself but brings with it risks of errors and possible damage to the items. This would be something not experienced by transport operators in the past.
Cargo owners are also increasingly requiring forwarders to cover the full value of their goods throughout the sometimes lengthy and involved supply chain. This can be an onerous and unfamiliar risk for the forwarder, who is seeing his contractual obligations extended beyond what used to be accepted as standard terms and conditions.
Kemp outlines what he feels is a specialist insurer's responsibility in these circumstances. "TT Club frequently gives advice to its Members with regards to the liabilities customer contracts could give rise to and sees the importance of providing tailor-made cover. We always wish to provide adequate protection for the varied operating scenarios presented by freight forwarders from around the world, who in turn are delivering a myriad of logistics services to their customers," he concludes.

HBaseStorage improvementsChristoph Bauer 2012-11-08, 15:18
here at postdirekt we have need for a lot more timestamp handling in HBaseStorage then there is. We're starting on a patch to pig. I think there are many people out there who would welcome those changes and we are willing to pass that patch on to the community if it is desired. So there is a short proposal here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/PIG/HBaseStorage+Timestamp+Extensions We're also open to other changes. So please reply. I have a question: HBaseStorage is getting really big and could do with splitting up into smaller parts to make it readable again. Would this require a patch on its own? regards, Christoph Bauer +

Mesocricetus auratus Waterhouse, 1839 |
The golden hamster or Syrian hamster, Mesocricetus auratus, is a member of the rodent subfamily Cricetinae, the hamsters. In the wild, they are now considered vulnerable. Their numbers have been declining due to loss of habitat caused by agriculture and deliberate destruction by humans.[1] However, captive breeding programs are well established, and captive-bred golden hamsters are popularly kept as pets and used as scientific research animals.
The size of adult animals ranges from 5 to 7 in (13 to 18 cm) long, with a lifespan of two to three years.[2]
Like most members of the subfamily, the golden hamster has expandable cheek pouches, which extend from its cheeks to its shoulders. In the wild, hamsters are larder hoarders; they use their cheek pouches to transport food to their burrows. Their name in the local Arabic dialect where they were found translates to "mister saddlebags" (Arabic: أبو جراب) due to the amount of storage space in their cheek pouches.[citation needed] If food is plentiful, the hamster stores it in large amounts.
Sexually mature female hamsters come into season (oestrus) every four days. Golden hamsters have the shortest gestation period in any known placental mammal at only 16 days. Gestation has been known to last up to 18 days, but this is rare and almost always includes complications. They can produce large litters of 20 or more young, although the average litter size is between eight and ten pups. If a mother hamster is inexperienced or feels threatened, she may abandon or eat her pups. A female hamster enters estrous almost immediately after giving birth, and can become pregnant despite already having a litter. This puts stress on the mother's body and often results in very weak and undernourished young.
Hamsters are very territorial and intolerant of each other, with attacks against each other being ubiquitous. Exceptions do occur, usually when a female and male come together when the female is in heat, but even so, the female may attack the male after mating. Even brothers and sisters, once mature, may attack one another. In captivity, babies are separated from their mother and by gender after four weeks, as they sexually mature at four to five weeks old. Same-sex groups of siblings can stay with each other until they are about eight weeks old, at which point they will begin to become territorial and will fight with one another, sometimes to the death. Infanticide is not uncommon among female golden hamsters. In captivity they may kill and eat healthy young as a result of the pups interacting with humans, for any foreign scent is treated as a threat. Females will also eat their dead young in the wild to prevent predators detecting them.
Golden hamsters mark their burrows with secretions from special scent glands on their hips. Male hamsters in particular lick their bodies near the glands, creating damp spots on the fur, then drag their sides along objects to mark their territory. Females will also use bodily secretions and feces. The female and the male can have scent glands in different places. The female's is on the hip, and the male's can sometimes be found around the stomach area.
Golden hamsters originate from Syria and were found in 1839 by British zoologist George Robert Waterhouse. Their natural condition is a dry, hot desert climate. The widespread notion that the name hamster derives from the German for 'hoarding (food)' is wrong: rather, the German verb hamstern derives from the name of the animal, owing to their respective behavior. Hamster probably derives from the proto-Slavic chomẽstar (compare also with Russian 'хомячок', 'homyachok' or Polish 'chomik').[3]
Waterhouse's original specimen was a female hamster—he named it Cricetus auratus or the "golden hamster". The skin of the specimen is kept at the British Museum of Natural History.[4]
In 1930, Israel Aharoni, a zoologist and professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, captured a mother hamster and her litter of pups in Aleppo, Syria. The hamsters were bred in Jerusalem as laboratory animals. Some escaped from the cage through a hole in the floor, and most of the wild golden hamsters in Israel today are believed to be descended from this litter.[4]
Descendants of the captive hamsters were shipped to Britain in 1931, where they came under the care of the Wellcome Bureau of Scientific Research. They bred well and two more pairs were given to the Zoological Society of London in 1932. The descendants of these were passed on to private breeders in 1937. A separate stock of hamsters was exported from Syria to the USA in 1971, but apparently none of today's North American pets is descended from these (at least in the female line), because recent mitochondrial DNA studies have established that all domestic golden hamsters are descended from one female – probably the one captured in 1930 in Syria.[4]
Since the species was named, the genus Cricetus has been subdivided and this species (together with several others) was separated into the genus Mesocricetus, leading to the currently accepted scientific name for the golden hamster of Mesocricetus auratus.[6][full citation needed]
Surviving in the wild[edit]
Following Professor Aharoni's collection in 1930, only infrequent sightings and captures were reported in the wild. Finally, to confirm the current existence of the wild golden hamster in northern Syria and southern Turkey, two expeditions were carried out during September 1997 and March 1999. The researchers found and mapped 30 burrows. None of the inhabited burrows contained more than one adult. The team caught six females and seven males. One female was pregnant and gave birth to six pups. All these 19 caught golden hamsters, together with three wild individuals from the University of Aleppo, were shipped to Germany to form a new breeding stock.[5]
Observations of females in this wild population have revealed, contrary to laboratory populations, activity patterns are crepuscular rather than nocturnal, possibly to avoid nocturnal predators such as owls.[6]
Golden hamsters in scientific research[edit]
Hamsters are widely used in research. For example, according to the Canadian Council for Animal Care, a total of 6,402 hamsters were used for research in 2006 in Canada, making them the fourth most popular rodent after mice (910,540), rats (331,560), and gerbils (37,246).[7]
In captivity, golden hamsters follow well-defined daily routines of running in their hamster wheel, which has made them popular subjects in circadian rhythms research. For example, Martin Ralph, Michael Menaker, and colleagues used this behavior to provide definitive evidence that the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the brain is the source of mammalian circadian rhythms.[8]
Hamsters have a number of fixed action patterns that are readily observed, including scent-marking and body grooming, which is of interest in ethology (the study of animal behaviour).
By far, though, the greatest use of hamsters is in biomedical research. Among other things, because captive golden hamsters are highly inbred (being descended from only a few captured individuals), they have a high incidence of a genetic heart condition causing dilated cardiomyopathy. Several inbred strains of hamsters have been developed as animal models for human forms of dilated cardiomyopathy. The gene responsible for hamster cardiomyopathy in a widely studied inbred hamster strain, BIO14.6, has been identified as being delta-sarcoglycan.[9] Pet hamsters are also potentially prone to cardiomyopathy, which is a not infrequent cause of unexpected sudden death in adolescent or young adult hamsters.
Syrian hamsters are also widely used in research into alcoholism, by virtue of their large livers, and ability to metabolise high doses.[10]
Scientific studies of animal welfare concerning captive golden hamsters have shown they prefer to use running wheels of large diameters (35 cm diameter was preferred over 23 cm,[11] and 23 cm over 17.5 cm,[12]), and that they prefer bedding material which allows them to build nests, if nesting material is not already available.[13] They prefer lived-in bedding (up to two weeks old - longer durations were not tested) over new bedding, suggesting they may prefer bedding changes at two-week intervals rather than weekly or daily.[14] They also prefer opaque tubes closed at one end, 15 cm in diameter, to use as shelter in which to nest and sleep.[15]
The golden hamster can contract contagious reticulum cell sarcoma[16] which can be transmitted from one golden hamster to another by means of the bite of the mosquito Aedes aegypti.[17]
Hamsters as pets[edit]
Golden hamsters are popular as house pets due to their docile, inquisitive nature, cuteness and small size. However, these animals have some special requirements that must be met for them to be happy and healthy. Although some people think of them as a pet for young children, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals recommends hamsters as pets only for people 10 years or older and the child should be supervised by an adult.[citation needed]
Most hamsters in American and British pet stores are golden hamsters. Originally, golden hamsters came in just one color — the mixture of brown, black, and gold which gave them their "golden" name — but they have since developed a variety of color and pattern mutations, including cream, white, blonde, cinnamon, tortoiseshell, black, three different shades of gray, dominant spot, banded and dilute.
The Humane Society of the United States states no habitat is too big for a hamster. Cages should be as big as possible, safe, comfortable and interesting. Golden hamsters are energetic and need space to exercise.[18]
Long-haired or "Angora" hamsters[edit]
"Angora" hamsters are commonly known as "teddy bear" hamsters. Females have short, velvety fur in many different colors. Male teddy bear hamsters usually have much longer fur than the female variety, culminating in a "skirt" of longer fur around their backsides.

A condom is a type of birth control (contraceptive) that is worn during intercourse to prevent pregnancy and the spread of some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), such as:
See also: Female condoms
Prophylactics; Rubbers; Male condoms
Other than a vasectomy, the condom is the only available method of birth control for men.
A condom blocks sperm from coming in contact with the inside of the vagina, where it could reach an egg. (If sperm reaches an egg, pregnancy can result.) A condom also prevents disease-causing substances from spreading from one person to another.
The male condom is a thin cover that fits over a man's erect penis. Condoms are made of:
If a condom is used regularly and correctly, it should prevent pregnancy 97% of the time, and prevent the spread of most STDs. The actual effectiveness among users, however, is only 80 - 90%. This is due to:
Condoms that contain spermicides may slightly further reduce the risk of pregnancy. However, they are no more likely to reduce the risk of HIV or STDs than condoms lubricated with other substances.
Condoms are available without a prescription and are inexpensive. You can buy them at most drugstores, in vending machines in some restrooms, by mail order, and at certain health care clinics.
For the best protection, the condom must be put on before the penis comes into contact with or enters the vagina (because pre-ejaculation fluids carry both sperm and disease).

Does anyone have experience with the Sigma 150-500mm zoom? I have read the review on this site, but it is still alot of money, so I want to be sure. I will use it for amateur sports and wildlife photography on a semi-pro basis. Will I be happy with this, or should I bite the bullet and get the Canon for over $600 more?

SINGAPORE The Indonesian government has imposed anti-dumping duties on cold-rolled coil (CRC) and sheet imports from Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam for a period of three years.
The finance minister signed the regulation March 19, the Jakarta Post reported March 21.
The duties "will be implemented within a few days," the report cited Astera Primanto Bhakti, head of the state income policy center at the Finance Ministrys Fiscal Policy Agency, as saying.
The decision came after a proposal from Indonesias anti-dumping commission was approved by the trade ministry, Primanto said.
Taxes levied will range from 5.9 to 55.6 percent.
Shipments from Japans Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp. (NSSMC) will be subjected to a 55.6-percent duty, with the 5.9-percent duty applied to imports from Taiwans SYNN Industrial Co. Ltd.
The investigation was initiated in June 2011 at the request of Indonesias state-owned Krakatau Steel Tbk.
Based on its investigation, the commission found strong evidence that the imported steel that was dumped caused significant injury to the steelmaker, the Jakarta Post report said. A version of this article was first published by AMM sister publication Steel First.

Central City is at an elevation of 8,500 feet, which means the temperature is usually 10 to 20 degrees cooler than in Denver and nights are chilly. The Opera House is unheated but well insulated, with 3-foot thick stone walls. Be aware the inside temperature can vary from warm to cool. Be sure you have a jacket or wrap, and bring your umbrella, since most summer afternoons in the mountains include a brief rain shower. If you intend to explore the town, comfortable walking shoes are helpful in negotiating the steep streets.
Most operagoers dress in business attire, however matinees tend to be more casual, and opening nights tend to be more formal. While there is no official dress code, just keep the cooler temperatures in mind.

I am using Power PC Macs, and therefore I am limited in the software that can run, so I am trying to install the most up-to-date version of Flash player I can, but it is not installing correctly. I get an error message in the middle of the install, so I go back to square one. The weird thing is that I tried to update my flash players on both computers, because I was getting error messages telling me they weren't up to date, so I removed what I was using on both, and the reinstall worked on the Power G4 laptop, but won't on the Mini.
I thought about going into my backup, but don't really know how to use it.
Please see this FAQ for Flash Player on PPC systems.
What version of Flash Player should I use with my Power PC based Mac?
