Sea cucumbers, belonging to the class
In recent decades, the concept of functional foods has offered a new and practical approach to achieving optimal health by promoting the use of natural products with physiological benefits thus reducing the risk of various chronic diseases [
Most of the currently available functional foods and therapeutic agents are derived either directly or indirectly from naturally occurring sources, especially, the terrestrial food plants and marine species [
Sea cucumbers are one of the marine animals which are important as human food source, particularly in some parts of Asia [
A multitude of harvestable sea cucumbers species have been exploited with growing global demand due to their food and pharmaceutical uses [
Sea cucumbers, commonly known as trepang, beche-de-mer, or gamat, have long been utilized in the food and folk medicine systems of Asia and Middle East communities [
As far as we know, previously no comprehensive review article as such has ever been published covering the detailed nutritional, medicinal and pharmacological aspects of sea cucumbers. This review is an attempt to mainly compile an inclusive report covering the description of high-value components and bioactives as well as biological and medicinal properties of these multipurpose marine invertebrates, as one of the potential sources for functional foods and nutraceuticals. An updated overview of the distribution, fishery and trade of sea cucumbers is also presented, worldwide.
Sea cucumbers belong to the phylum
Looking at the oral tentacles is the most common way to separate the subclasses of sea cucumbers. For example, sea cucumbers of subclass Dendrochirotacea have 8–30 oral tentacles while those belonging to Aspidochirotacea may have 10–30 shield like or leaf-like oral tentacles. On the other side, members of Apodacea may contain up to 25 pinnate or simple oral tentacles [
Sea cucumbers are an important component of the marine ecosystem. They are distributed in all oceans the world over, generally living near corals, rocks or sea weeds in warm shallow waters [
The total number of presently existing sea cucumber species is about 1250; however, recently, some new species have also been studied from the Indo-Pacific Ocean, being popular as a center for rich biodiversity of Holothuroidea. Besides, there are several undescribed larger sea cucumber species living in shallow water which have not yet been systematically identified because there are rather a small number of holothurian taxonomists [
By the late 1980s, sea cucumber fisheries had rapidly grown and expanded due to the growing beche-de-mer-related international market, supported by continuing demand of these organisms for aquaculture and biomedical research programs. For example, world over sea cucumber market trends reveal a considerable increase in the trade of sea cucumbers, both in terms of number of species and production yield. In addition to its large expansion in the traditional regions, holothurian fisheries have expanded to a considerable magnitude even in non-traditional fishing areas such as the Galapagos, Mexico and the North America [
An important and a common feature of subtropical and tropical fisheries, is to target multi-species in shallow water (up to 50 m depth) environments. On the other hand, most temperate fisheries are characterized by single species sea cucumbers, especially, belonging to
The species, having remarkable commercial value, for example,
A multitude of sea cucumber species are being harvested across the regions but the number of commercially exploited species varies broadly. According to research, the highest number (52 and 36) of species is exploited in the Asia and Pacific regions, respectively, of course due to the rich marine diversity in these regions. Little information is available on the biological, ecological and population aspects of most of the commercial species, therefore, in several cases, especially in remote areas, these are marketed without an authenticated taxonomic identification. With regard to the marketing statistics of beche-de-mer international trade, quantitative data are available on fisheries catches. According to the updated trade and catch data available, Asia and the Pacific are the two top sea cucumbers producing regions. Based on the conversion factor employed for calculation of the dry/wet weight of sea cucumbers, it is estimated that the combined harvestable catches for the Asia and Pacific regions are in the range of 20,000 to 40,000 t per year [
A substantial share of the world catches (
Most of the sea cucumber exports from the Latin America and the Caribbean regions are from Peru (26.1%) followed by Ecuador (25.9%), Chile (14.1%) and Cuba (10.1%). About 14.0% of sea cucumber exports are derived from countries where either this fishery is banned such as Panama and Costa Rica or have no proper record (Colombia) [
There is lack of official data regarding the major export destinations for most of the sea cucumber landing, however, it is generally assumed that majority of the catches are supplied to fulfill the Asian (east and southeast Asian regions) market beche-de-mer demands. Of the 52 commercially exploited species, most are tropical and sub-tropical species belonging to the families of Holothuridae and Stichopodidae, including the genus
The highest Holothuroidea capture landings in the 2000s were yielded by Indonesia, followed by the Philippines. On average basis, almost 47 percent of the world's Holothuroidea landings per annum, producing an average of 2572 t (wet weight) catches per year, were contributed together by the Philippines and Indonesia during 2000 and 2005. Japan as the largest capture fishery producer of the temperate species (
With the exception of China, where a major portion of sea cucumber production is from aquaculture (
Globally, sea cucumber trade specifically intended for the food market has been mostly controlled by China Hong Kong SAR (Special Administrative Region), Singapore and Taiwan Province of China. China Hong Kong SAR have the largest entrepot controlling with contribution of 80 percent of the global import-export sea cucumber trade which might be attributed to the ability of the regions to serve as a corridor for goods to the hinterland of mainland China [
The countries engaged in the trade of sea cucumbers, world over, mostly export trepang to one of the given three main hubs, from where they are re-exported mostly to Chinese consumers worldwide. Almost 90% of the total imports of trepang are contributed by China Hong Kong SAR, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan Province of China, Republic of Korea and Japan. According to estimates, approximately 80% of the overall international trade is intended primarily for China, Hong Kong SAR [
According to Bruckner
The species/type, the dried animal size, the extent of dryness (of the processed products) as well as the marketing period of the year, are the important factors in determining the price of sea cucumbers products. For instance, usually prices are 20 to 30% higher just before the Chinese Lunar New Year [
According to the FAO global statistics report on sea cucumber, Indonesia is the top most trepang exporter worldwide. About 40–80 percent of the trepangs are exported to China, Hong Kong SAR, with other markets being Japan, Republic of Korea, Taiwan Province of China, Singapore, Malaysia and Australia [
Besides, the main trade for the food purposes, there are perhaps hundreds of thousands of sea cucumbers that are marketed for aquarium industry; however information on species, their exact quantities and source countries are rarely available [
Although there are many cultured and harvestable sea cucumber species, but around 20 species are reported with relatively high economic and food value. Sea cucumbers, usually processed into a dried product know as "bêche-de-mer", are valued as an important seafood, particularly in Asian countries. Commercially, the product "bêche-de-mer" can be graded into low, medium or high economic value depending upon several aspects such as species, appearance, abudance, color, odor, thickness of the body wall, and market trends and demands [
Proximate composition of fresh sea cucumbers may differ to a wider extent depending upon the species, seasonal variations and feeding regimes. Typical data as reported in the literature reveal the contents of moisture, protein, fat, ash, and carbohydrates for fresh sea cucumbers to vary from 82.0 to 92.6, 2.5 to 13.8, 0.1 to 0.9, 1.5 to 4.3 and 0.2 to 2.0%, respectively [
Sea cucumbers contain an interesting combination of valuable amino acids; glycin being the major component (
During the past three to four decades many efforts have been devoted to isolating numerous biologically active novel compounds from marine sources. Many of such naturally occurring compounds are of great interest for potential drug development as well as an ingredient of new leads and commercially successful products for various industrial applications, especially, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, functional foods and nutraceuticals [
A high amount of good-quality protein in sea cucumber is linked with its beneficial effects on serum triglyceride levels [
Considerable amounts of phenolics and free radical scavengers have also been determined in sea cucumbers [
There are a series of other bioactive and antiagent substances in sea cucumbers, such as triterpene glycosides, enzymes, amyloses, fatty acids, cytotoxins,
According to Fredalina
Interestingly, in contrast to vegetable oils which mostly have fatty acids with even carbon numbers, a considerable amount of fatty acids with odd carbon numbers such as C15:0, C17:0, C19:0, C21:0 and C23:1 is also detected in sea cucumber fatty acid profiles [
Among PUFA of sea cucumbers, arachidonic acid (AA, C20:4 n-6) is detected to be the principal component in almost all species with relatively higher amounts reported for tropical species [
Another group of functional substances namely, mucopolysaccharides and chondroitins, have also been identified in sea cucumbers. It has been seen that people suffering from arthritis and connective tissue disorders, are often devoid of these compounds. As such, sea cucumber-derived chondroitin sulfate can be exploited as a nutraceutical to ease joint-pain and arthritis like disorders [
Sulfated polysaccharides are reported to exhibit antiviral activity and, based on this fact, Japanese scientists have patented their scientific findings regarding the potential use of sea cucumber chondroitin sulfate to inhibit human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection [
Another class of compounds is saponins, commonly identified as holothurins, from sea cucumber. The structural features of these compounds are quite comparable to those of the bioactives from ganoderma, ginseng, and other medicinally popular tonic herbs [
Sea cucumbers are rich in glycosides [
Recently, a research group, working at Kyushu University, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka, Japan, has discovered three novel compounds (ganglioside molecular species, HLG-1, HLG-2 and HLG-3) in a sea cucumber namely
In addition to having a high nutritious value, sea cucumbers have long been recognized in the folk medicine system of Asian countries. An impressive range of medicinal health functions, for example, nourishing the body, tonifying kidney, moistening dryness of the intestines, treatment of stomach ulcers, asthma, hypertension, rheumatism and wound healing have been associated with sea cucumber [
Described below are the important biological attributes and medicinal benefits of sea cucumbers as given in the literature.
Sea cucumber has emerged as a potential source of anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor agents of medical interest. Recent studies reveal the anticarcinogenic potential of sea cucumber-derived bioactives against certain cancers. Tian
In another study, the anti-angiogenic activity of a newly isolated sulfated saponin namely Philinospide A, from sea cucumber (
Sea cucumbers are reported to contain several compounds with anticancer and antiproliferative properties.

Sea cucumbers contain a variety of anti-tumor ingredients. These anti-tumor active components play important roles in different stages of tumor development, progression and metastasis. The exploration of anti-tumor active ingredients from sea cucumbers might open windows of opportunities to discover new antitumor agents from other marine sources for clinical tumor treatment [
According to another research report [
According to Ogushi
In another experiment conducted by Zhang
Recently, a new cytotoxic lanostane-type triterpene glycoside from the sea cucumber (
There are evidences that sea cucumbers bioactives also have antiviral activity. The antiviral activity of Liouvillosides A and B, which are trisulfated triterpene glycosides, isolated from Antarctic sea cucumber (
It is revealed that certain chemical compounds namely chondroitin, mucopolysaccharides and glucosamine, occurring in sea cucumbers, have beneficial effects in arthritis disorders. Researchers have shown that usage of sea cucumber is beneficial in maintaining prostaglandins balance thus helping out in the treatment of musculo-skeletal inflammatory disorders such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and spinal arthritis [
Sea cucumber and sea cucumber-based products are now becoming available in shelves of health food stores due to their therapeutic effects, in particular the wound healing functions (to speed recovery of sores, cuts and wounds on the skin, as well as internally for ulcers and other ailments that involve internal damage). It is believed that direct use of sea cucumber can reduce wound recovery time and help new tissue formation and regeneration in human just as the sea cucumber's ability to quickly regenerate its own body tissue when damaged [
Besides, the pharmacological and therapeutic attributes described above, there are other studies which revealed that sea cucumbers have further potential biological properties such as antihistamine [
Currently, the uses of sea cucumbers due to their potential health benefits to humans, are gaining much recognition among consumers, medical and biomedical researchers. The south Asian region communities, especially the older generation, consume sea cucumber and its coelomic fluid, even though some of them are not aware of the medicinal effects associated with it. In peninsular Malaysia, the medicinal uses of sea cucumbers (mainly
Although some preliminary data on nutritional attributes and bioactives of sea cucumber is available, this marine animal, due to its species diversity, availability and medicinal utility, remains a highly potential candidate for the search of novel marine compounds for drug discovery. So far, numerous studies have been conducted on sea cucumber, but still potential exists to isolate and identify new compounds from different parts of various species of this harvestable marine invertebrate. For example, there is a need to fully identify and characterize the profile of sea cucumber's alkaloids, antioxidant phenolics, functional peptides and other health-promoting components for their chemical structure and detailed biological properties using state-of-the-art spectroscopic and biomedical approaches and bioactivity-directed assays.
Usage of by-products in food to improve their health promoting properties is a potential field. In this case, isolation and production of compounds from sea cucumber, in high class purity, could lead to develop functional foods. It has been proven that by-products from echinoderms as well as sea cucumbers contain considerable amounts of different nutritiously important components. Therefore, efforts should be devoted to explore the potential uses of sea cucumber-based biological wastes for value-addition. The magnitude/volume of sea cucumbers currently in use for medicinal, pharmaceutical, cosmoceutical and nutraceutical purposes is still not reflected in the literature and needs to be documented.
There are several research groups engaged in conducting preliminary studies on anti-angiogenic, anticoagulant, anticancer, ACE inhibitory, anti-inflammatory and antitumor,
Sea cucumbers are marine invertebrates that have gained popularity among researchers in recent decades, not only due to their nutritive value, but also due to their potential health benefits and therapeutic uses. Extensive literature survey revealed that sea cucumber has a long history as a traditional food and folk medicine. Most of the sea cucumber uses have been validated through scientific and ethno-pharmacological research. A myriad of bioactives, isolated from sea cucumber such as chondroitin sulfate, triterpene glycosides (saponins), lectins, heparin, cerberosides

Zone One (Paperback)
November 2011 Indie Next List
"Finally, a zombie novel that's a literary tour de force! Whitehead's post-apocalyptic world decimated by zombies has a resonance well beyond the supernatural. The narrator, Mark Spitz (not that Mark Spitz), who is working with a team trying to eliminate infected stragglers in Zone One of Manhattan, recounts his experiences since the beginning of the terror. This story stayed in my mind for weeks."
— Carole Horne, Harvard Book Store, Cambridge, MA
A pandemic has devastated the planet, sorting humanity into two types: the uninfected and the infected, the living and the living dead. After the worst of the plague is over, armed forces stationed in Chinatown's Fort Wonton have successfully reclaimed the island south of Canal Street—aka Zone One. Mark Spitz is a member of one of the three-person civilian sweeper units tasked with clearing lower Manhattan of the remaining feral zombies. Zone One unfolds over three surreal days in which Spitz is occupied with the mundane mission of straggler removal, the rigors of Post-Apocalyptic Stress Disorder (PASD), and the impossible task of coming to terms with a fallen world. And then things start to go terribly wrong…
At once a chilling horror story and a literary novel by a contemporary master, Zone One is a dazzling portrait of modern civilization in all its wretched, shambling glory.
About the Author
Colson Whitehead was born and raised in New York City. His first novel, "The Intuitionist" (1999) was a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway. His next work, "John Henry Days" (2001), was a "New York Times" Editor's Choice, won the Young Lions Award and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle and the Pulitzer Prize. His most recent book, "The Colossus of New York," was a N"ew York Times" Notable Book of a Year. Whitehead has also been the recipient of a Whiting Writer's Award and a MacArthur Grant. His writing has appeared in the "The New York Times," "The Village Voice," Salon, and "Newsday," He lives in Brooklyn with his wife Natasha and daughter Madeline.
Praise For…
"It's a book you want to read rather than one you should read…while still providing the chilling, fleshy pleasures of zombies who lurch, pursue, hunger. . . . One of the best books of the year." —Esquire
"Whitehead writes with economy, texture and punch. . . . A cool, thoughtful and, for all its ludic violence, strangely tender novel, a celebration of modernity and a pre-emptive wake for its demise." —The New York Times Book Review
"Uniquely affecting. . . . A rich mix of wartime satire and darkly funny social commentary. . . . Whether charged with bleak sadness or bone-dry humor, sentences worth savoring pile up faster than the body count." —The Los Angeles Times
"A zombie story with brains. . . . [Whitehead is a] certifiably hip writer who can spin gore into macabre poetry." —The Washington Post
"Zone One is not the work of a serious novelist slumming it with some genre-novel cash-in, but rather a lovely piece of writing...Whitehead picks at our nervousness about order's thin grip, suggesting just how flimsy the societal walls are that make possible our hopes and dreams and overly complicated coffee orders." —Entertainment Weekly
"Colson Whitehead's Zone One isn't your typical zombie novel; it trades fright-night fodder for empathy and chilling realism…yielding a haunting portrait of a lonely, desolate, and uncertain city." —Elle
"The stylistic exuberance on display would be overwhelming if it weren't so well controlled, shifting weightlessly from M*A*S*H-style battle narrative to a melancholic Blade Runner-like vision of Urban devastation. . . . The smallest of details is marked by originality of language." —The New Statesman
"Leave it to the supremely thoughtful and snarkily funny Whitehead to do interesting things with a topic that lately has seated itself in the public's imagination. . . . Not just a juicy experiment in genre fiction but a brilliantly disguised meditation on a 'flatlined culture' in need of its own rejuvenating psychic jolt." —The Seattle Times
"If you're going to break down and read a zombie novel, make it this one." —The Wall Street Journal
"Stylishly entertaining. . . . [Whitehead's] sentences are interesting, his plotting brisk, his descriptions lucid, and his asides clever." —The Plain Dealer
"In precise, elegant prose [Whitehead] deliberately layers the ever more disturbing elements of the story, one upon the other, allowing the reader to discover the horror in the same fragmentary manner we imagine frantic survivors might. . . . Resembles Cormac McCarthy's The Road. . . . An intense meditation on the way we cope with disaster and the stubborn, often inexplicable, persistence of the human will to survive." —Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"A sharp commentary on the rat race of contemporary life. . . . Zone One lifts all the gore and gunfire and oozy bits one might expect from the genre. But this is Whitehead, so there's also popular culture to critique and parallels to draw between zombies and contemporary society." —The Houston Chronicle
"[Whitehead] takes the genre of horror fiction, mines both its sense of humor and self-seriousness, and emerges with a brilliant allegory of New York living." —New York Observer
"Highbrow novelist Colson Whitehead plunges into the unstoppable zombie genre in this subtle meditation on loss and love in a post-apocalyptic Manhattan, which has become the city that never dies." —USA Today
"For-real literary—gory, lyrical, human, precise." —GQ
"A satirist so playful that you often don't even feel his scalpel, Whitehead toys with the shards of contemporary culture with an infectious glee. Here he upends the tropes of the zombie story in the canyons of lower Manhattan. Horror has rarely been so unsettling, and never so grimly funny." —The Daily Beast

The studies were conducted to investigate the possibility of employing silver nanoparticles for multipurpose medical applications by altering the surface properties of the material. Glucose and lactose were attached to investigate the selective targeting of cancer versus non-cancer cells, and oligonucleoties were attached for possible gene therapy applications.
Both L929 (non-cancer) and A549 (lung cancer) cells were treated with the modified AgNPs. It was found that the cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of glucose- or lactose-modified AgNPs were almost at the same level in L929 cells, while the levels in A549 cells are rather different. The results indicate that the use of carbohydrates significantly enhances the cellular uptake of AgNPs into A549 cells. The lactose-modified AgNPs entered the A549 cells at a faster rate. In addition, it was observed that the first five hours are important for the cellular uptake of NPs and the NPs were mostly seen localized in the cytoplasm. The cytotoxicity study revealed that the presence of glucose, lactose and oligonucleotide or their combinations on the NP surface might help to diminish the toxicity. The cellular uptake and localization of lactose-modified AgNPs in the A549 cells (cancer cells) might help to develop new approaches for the selective killing of cancerous cells, for example, in photothermal therapy applications.
The group's results demonstrate that surface modification can be employed for the multipurpose use of silver nanoparticles in medicine. Examples include toxicity reduction, targeting, imaging and thermal killing. Work continues on the synthesis and evaluation of novel multifunctional noble metal NPs for cellular and biomedical applications.
Full details are available in the journal Nanotechnology.

How does the real interest rate, the nominal interest rate, and the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds change when the expected inflation rate increases?
This question asked by Ted .
Ask Your Question
Since the increase in inflation is expected this has no affect on the real rate of interest but it does increase the nominal rate. The equilibrium quantity of loanable funds, which depends on the real interest rate, is unaffected.

Actor and TV Host Gary Collins Dies at 74
(NEW YORK) -- Actor and television host Gary Collins has died at the age of 74. He passed away around 1 a.m. at Biloxi Regional Medical Center in Biloxi, Mississippi. The Harrison County Coroner ruled that the former Love Boat actor died of natural causes.
Collins guest starred on numerous shows during his career, including the Six Million Dollar Man, Hawaii Five-O, Charlie's Angels and Perry Mason. He also hosted the TV talk show Hour Magazine, ABC's The Home Show, and The Miss America Pageant.
He is survived by his wife of 45 years, former Miss America Mary Ann Mobley, and his three children.

NEW YORK, Monday—It is a great relief to know that Mrs. Anna Rosenberg at last can begin to handle her difficult job in straightening out the manpower problems confronting the nation at the present time. She is well qualified for this job by experience and character. She has been unable to begin to organize her work all because certain crackpots, among them several ex-Communists, made up a tale that she had been a member of a Communist-front organization.
Anyone in public knows it is possible, if you go about it cleverly, to get almost anyone to join an organization, and until they actually work in it they are not apt to discover that the organization is anything other than it was represented to be. Many people are asked to give their names for purposes that sound excellent. Frequently those solicited are unable to attend meetings and have said they would not be able to do so. Then months later they discover that the people, whom they were told were members of the organization and hoped they would join, were made to join in their turn by being told that their friend, Mr. So-and-so, was a member and hoped they would join. Busy people do not have time enough to check until they have been fooled a number of times. Then they are careful forever afterward.
I am sure Mrs. Rosenberg is far more careful than I am even now. I was sure from the beginning that everything would turn out just as it has, but I boiled inwardly that a good public servant had to go through such an ordeal. Even had she been a member for a short time, she should have been allowed to say so, to explain her reasons and the circumstances. She could easily vindicate herself because her record is too outstanding for anyone seriously to suspect her of disloyalty.
Putting people through this type of ordeal is what keeps good people from government service. I have heard people say lately that they hoped they would never have to be in government service. This kind of experience is what will keep young people, the more brilliant ones, from wanting to serve the country whose representatives are going to take it for granted that they are guilty of disloyalty on evidence given by self-confessed ex-Communists who decide they would like to implicate a few other people along with themselves.
Mrs. Rosenberg thanked the members of the investigating committee for having been so diligent and impartial. I am sure the gentlemen were, and I am sure that among them there were men who disliked having to question her integrity and loyalty. But we know there are others who think this kind of inquiry is beneficial to the country.
I can only say that I am thankful Mrs. Rosenberg can go to work on one of the problems that affects the lives of many of us, but I feel ashamed that the world should have watched such an episode. How the Kremlin must have chuckled!


text: A night furiously smokin' hot Rock N' Roll from some of The Bay's best: *PAMELA PARKER BAND* Who is Pamela Parker? Pamela Parker is a Rock Star from a by gone era and the promise of the ultimate female rock star fully realized. She is a diabolical beast of a quadruple threat wielding unmatched vocal abilities, monster guitar chops, classical piano skills, and is one of the best songwriters in a generation (she has built a large catalog of classic sounding originals). Pamela�s music is being promoted as "Original Classic Rock for the New Millennium". The music is very classic sounding guitar driven mid 70�s style rock (two lead guitars, bass, drums, powerful vocals, and occasional keyboards) with a heavy emphasis on songwriting, arrangement, and performance. Though the template of this band is firmly planted in mid 70�s rock (taking their cues from Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Thin Lizzy and the like) their sound is totally fresh and original. The musicianship of the band is second to none with Kevin Carnes (Broun Fellinis, Katdelic, etc) on drums, James Whiton (Tom Waits) on bass, and Rafael Tranquelino on guitar. Pamela�s incredible and powerful voice is often described as a cross between Robert Plant and Janis Joplin. She soars high like Plant but has just the right touch of gravel and growl ala Janis and when needed she sings smooth as silk. Even with these lofty comparisons Pamela�s voice is totally unique and one for the ages. Armed with her trusty Gibson SG and ultra talented band mates, Parker is set to reinvigorate the music world by offering up hot slabs of fresh rock & roll. with.. *Special Guests TBA*

Presentation model In 1996 the United Nations International School was asked if they would be interested in a project designing changes for an existing courtyard/garden behind the American Cancer Society Headquarters on 56th Street. The requirements were that the design should enliven the dark brick walls of the yard, visually isolate it from the surrounding tall buildings, and be on the theme of peace. Three artists showed interest and the process began. |

The Global Volcanism Program has no Weekly Reports available for Uinkaret Field.
The Global Volcanism Program has no Bulletin Reports available for Uinkaret Field.
The Uinkaret volcanic field straddling the Grand Canyon contains cinder cones that have produced lava flows that repeatedly cascaded into the Grand Canyon, forming temporary lava dams up to 200 m high. Two of the most prominent landmarks are Vulcan's Throne, a cinder cone on the north rim, and Vulcan's Forge, a small volcanic neck erupted within the Colorado River, 1000 m below. Most of the field lies north of the Grand Canyon on the Uinkaret Plateau between the Toroweap and Hurricane faults. It is largely Pleistocene in age, and Vulcan's Throne has a cosmogenic helium age of about 73,000 years. Volcanic activity has continued into the Holocene. One lava flow, from Little Springs, south of Pliocene Mount Trumbull, has a cosmogenic helium age of 1300 +/- 500 years BP. Pottery sherds dated at between 1050 and 1200 CE were found within the Little Springs lava flow, which occurred about the same time as the Sunset Crater eruption in the San Francisco volcanic field to the SE.

Comments about Paiste PST 5 Rock Crash:
This crash is awesome! Great price, the line looks great and just the way any rock drummer with a budget will look for!
Comments about Paiste PST 5 Rock Crash:
I purchased these cymbals for my fifteen year old son who cracked several of my prize cymbals. He plays very hard and I needed a cymbal of good cost but could still preform well. The Paiste PST Rock crash is it. He has played them for over six months with no problems because of their heavy weight. They cut through and are crisp and clean. I even took them on one of my gigs and I love the sound. They sounded good along with my 2002 and I would even purchase these for myself.Any parents who have a problem having to replace cymbals for their rock hungry children ,the PST 5 rock crash are a great value without compromising sound quality ! Drum On ! J.R.H.
Comments about Paiste PST 5 Rock Crash:
I have this excellent crash. I USUALLY stray away from lower price cymbals, but this is a PAISTE! Great price! Pro line looks. Loud projection, cuts through all and IS heard! Beautiful sound! Sounds like the top dollar lines Paiste has! Long sustain. Will buy more from the pst 5 line. Amazing quality to price ratio!!! Pro and entry level musicians will love this line. I do, Signature series and 2002 is what I am used to. Pst 5 blends in with those sounds and dose not stand out, as far as being able to tell which sound costs less! PAISTE is the best cymbal around, and now they dominate the "entry" level lines too! Excellent for rock to Death Metal, and all loud amplified music.

Replacement Lid?
So I went to my local thrift store for a quick visit today (they were having a half-off sale and I wanted a new robe) a quick browse through the housewares found me a tiny yixing teapot. Problem is this tiny treasure is missing its lid!
I am hoping that some future trip to the thrift store will turn up the lid (teapots at this store are notorious for always losing their lids…and sometimes they turn up) but if not, well…
Anyone know of a place to get replacement yixing teapot lids? Or any suggestions on a makeshift lid?
Its going to be virtually impossible to find a tight fitting lid without buying another of the same teapot.
Find someone local who does ceramics, take it into them and ask them if they can make you a lid to fit? Kinda take the "thrift" out of the find, but it makes it a working pot again.
True true, you know, I have been debating taking a pottery class…that could get me some good connections, or I could try it myself. That can only end well :P
I don't really think the lid is necessary but in the meantime get a cork to fit it. Hardware stores often have corks in different sizes.
If you end up making or finding someone to make a lid, let us know. You can't be the only person ever to have this happen and it may be useful info. :)

Am glad to hear you can add sailing to vast list of skills, hopefully one day we can share a sail.
i am off to the UK tomorrow for 2 weeks, no itinerary, will email you when I get back.
I´m baaaaack........
Trip Start
Jan 07, 2008
Trip End
Between my last two posts, there was some fun stuff that happened. I completed my ASA 101 Basic Keelboat Sailing class with flying colors....But not one photo to prove it. We sailed on a Hobie 33 and it was a quite "spirited" boat. No major injuries, I passed the test, and hope to move forward with now getting some more experience under my belt. Hopefully, that is in my immediate future.
The day after I finished my sailing class I was preparing to leave Tortugal, finally, and a bunch of the cruisers threw me a little going away party. It was so heartwarming. I have made some terrific friends here and feel incredibly fortunate to have these new friends in my life. Everyone contributed some food and drinks and I loved watching Ariane as she enjoyed her very first American marshmallow. It was sad that the time had come for me to leave, but I was flattered that they chose to send me off with a party. Thanks to all who were there!
Although my trip to Guatemala City and Antigua was brief, there were some highlights and I want to tell you about them. Guat City was basically a shopping excursion for me, and for many of you out there, you know how much I DISLIKE shopping, so this portion of the trip was laced with a bit of anxiety. But after nearly nine months out of the US the limited clothing and supplies I had needed to be tweeked a bit and it is always easier to do that in a larger city, as opposed to these little villages I have been spending the bulk of my time in recently. Suffice it to say, most of the indigenous folks here are substantially smaller than me and buying clothes has been a complete nightmare....even in Guat City. After two days of running around, chasing my tail, I was able to acquire about 65% of what I had on my list. Oh, what I wouldn�t give for a trip to Macy�s, Target, Kmart (which has great "work" type clothes) and a CVS. I could have cut the time invested in by more than half.
Guat City has some beautiful old Colonial style buildings, and a rich history. I didn�t have time to witness much of that. The thing that stands out the most in my mind is the pollution. It reminded me of being in Havana where they burn some insane combination of gasoline and kerosene. It was horrible. That and the goat herder I say moving his goats through the downtown area. That was bizarre. I got to ride some of the local buses and walked quite a bit. One thing I can say without question about the people in this country is they are incredibly friendly and helpful. It makes me sad that a handful of thieves and robbers are making it so difficult for others to enjoy the warmth that the people here have to offer. Maneuvering the local buses was easy, discerning the stops was not. There was ALWAYS a smiling face and offer of help BEFORE I needed it.
As mentioned in the last post, I had the good fortune of traveling with my new Swiss friends, Ariane and Martin, and we had some really great moments together. They laugh easily and share my passion for food, so we have had no trouble spending time together. Actually, I had had diner with them at an amazing local restaurant just before my attack and we oohed and aahhhed over the food like crack addicts who just got a fix. When I went back to my hotel and was flipping through magazines, I ran into a quote I thought so appropriate for us all from Bernard Shaw, "there is no love more sincere than the love of food". I couldn�t agree more heartily Suffice it to say, we travel well together.
For the better part of two days, we walked the streets of Antigua admiring the architecture and local markets. We ate off the beaten path, and had some great experiences. The photo opportunities in this area are amazing, and I have included quite a few good shots here. As I was intending to spend several more days in Antigua after Martin and Arianne left, I pretty much just followed them around and saw what they wanted to see the first two days and we stumbled onto some great stuff. One was a parade of local students and we had bird�s eye seats as three separate drum groups did these amazing performances for an excited crowd. Us New Orleanians are suckers for a parade and I enjoyed watching the students perform.
We joined Rachael, my English gal pal who was with us many weeks ago in Tortugal, and had a fabulous dinner together. Then, after dinner Rachael took me to a place her new friend from New Orleans owns. Language and cooking school by day and bar at night....Perfect ! We had a lovely visit and planned on continuing our travel together until I had my problems.
When I returned to Tortugal to my room with no doors and windows (basically a tree house) for a sense of better safety, I was welcomed with open arms. The folks here are just so damned nice. Russell the manager and former EMT tended to my head wound. Neville and Catherine Hockley who are stopping over here in Rio Dulce during hurricane season while they wait out their continued circumnavigation (see www.zeroXTE.com) used to joke frequently with me about the amount of time I was sitting in the hammock under the Ranchito (my room) . But as I sat and enjoyed the tranquility of it the day after I returned, Neville came to chat me up about what had happened. He and Catherine extended me an invitation to join them that night on their boat for dinner and I gladly accepted.
Talk about nice....they had a New Orleans music CD in the stereo, an NOLA inspired pasta dish that included chicken and sausage and what we ultimately dubbed "cat poo pie", a concoction of melted marshmallow, chocolate rice crispies, I believe a few corn flakes and colored sprinkles. White trash living at it�s VERY best! Talking about what happened in the safety and comfort of their boat was exactly what I needed and their generous spirit made me feel better and more relaxed about everything. They were so kind in every detail of trying to bring a sense of home to me that night and I will never forget their generosity. Plus, they are damn funny to chat with . He an Englishman and she a lovely Irish lass, share a quick wit and zest for storytelling. It was a terrific evening. Thanks so very much kids.
I had bought a ticket to leave the country on September 8th, and was preparing to fly into Costa Rica and then travel on to Boca del Toro, Panama. But, as things turned out, I received an email yesterday asking me to boat/dog sit for a couple I had met almost 2 months ago at Dietmar�s birthday party. I researched the cost of a ticket change, went and met their dog, and as flexibility continues to rule my world, I am staying on the Rio for another two weeks. I pushed my exit date up to the 23rd and will be moving to a new Mario�s Marina tomorrow to take care of my charge, an adorable Dalmatian named Basil. It will be a great opportunity for me to network with some new cruisers and see what life at a different marina is like. When I toured it yesterday, I stumbled onto some folks I had previously met, and they were very welcoming. I look forward to this experience.
But...here is the deal....I HAVE to be out of Guatemala by the 29th of September when my visa expires so there will be no more delays about leaving. I know many of you are anxious for me to get out of here and it HAS to come sooner than later. Security is good at this new location, and having a dog with me at all times only increases the safety factor.
I will be posting again before I leave the country. Thanks everyone for your continued support from afar. I am loving you from here!

A chemical formula is a way of expressing information about the proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound, using a single line of chemical element symbols, numbers, and sometimes also other symbols, such as parentheses, dashes, brackets, and plus (+) and minus (−) signs. These are limited to a single typographic line of symbols, which may include subscripts and superscripts. A chemical formula is not a chemical name, and it contains no words. Although a chemical formula may imply certain simple chemical structures, it is not the same as a full chemical structural formula. Chemical formulas are more limiting than chemical names and structural formulas.
The simplest types of chemical formulas are called empirical formulas, which use only letters and numbers indicating atomic proportional ratios (the numerical proportions of atoms of one type to those of other types). Molecular formulas indicate the simple numbers of each type of atom in a molecule of a molecular substance, and are thus sometimes the same as empirical formulas (for molecules that only have one atom of a particular type), and at other times require larger numbers than do empirical formulas. An example of the difference is the empirical formula for glucose, which is CH2O, while its molecular formula requires all numbers to be increased by a factor of six, giving C6H12O6.
An oxidizing agent (also oxidant, oxidizer or oxidiser) is the element or compound in an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction that accepts an electron from another species. Because the oxidizing agent is gaining electrons, it is said to have been reduced.
The oxidizing agent itself is reduced, as it is taking electrons onto itself, but the reactant is oxidized by having its electrons taken away by the oxidizing agent. Oxygen is the prime (and eponymous) example among the varied types of oxidizing agents.
The nitrogen cycle is the process by which nitrogen is converted between its various chemical forms. This transformation can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification. The majority of Earth's atmosphere (78%) is nitrogen, making it the largest pool of nitrogen. However, atmospheric nitrogen has limited availability for biological use, leading to a scarcity of usable nitrogen in many types of ecosystems. The nitrogen cycle is of particular interest to ecologists because nitrogen availability can affect the rate of key ecosystem processes, including primary production and decomposition. Human activities such as fossil fuel combustion, use of artificial nitrogen fertilizers, and release of nitrogen in wastewater have dramatically altered the global nitrogen cycle]citation needed[.
A 2011 study found that nitrogen from rocks may also be a significant source of nitrogen, that had not previously been included in most calculations and statistics.

Electroconvulsive therapy in patients with multiple sclerosis. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 17804994 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
There are relatively few case reports of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in patients with multiple sclerosis. We present 3 such patients, all of whom received safe, effective ECT without evidence of acute neurological deterioration. We conclude that patients with multiple sclerosis being considered for ECT should have a thorough neurological evaluation, and the informed consent process should include discussion of the possibility of neurological deterioration. However, review of the literature and of our 3 cases does reveal that ECT can be used safely, at least in the short term. Long-term outcomes in such patients remain uncertain. |

Well, the best way I have to describe the game is "Super Meat Boy meets Portal" aka "Reach the chamber exit fast and without dying". Sounds easy, uh? It is! Except for traps, lasers, lava waterfalls and the ever spinning saws. Levels are designed to kill you (and they will, often) and you'll find that the only way to reach the exit door is to exploit the level itself with a sequence of running, jumping, wall grinding and wall jumps.
